《Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant》


 Chapter 1： Go crazy while youre young

    Chapter 1 Go crazy while you are young


    When An Feng woke up, he found something extra in his mind.


    In the haze, there was a voice urging him to do something... Rubbing his eyes, he saw a water stain where he was lying on his stomach just now, his face blushed, and he looked around. Fortunately, his colleagues were all concentrating on work or dozing off lazily , He folded the paper with a guilty conscience and threw it into the wastebasket.


    At this time, the manager''s secretary came towards him and said blankly: "An Feng, Manager Li asked you to go to his office in five minutes."


    "Okay." An Feng nodded.


    Before he had time to reflect on the weird dream just now, An Feng piled up the messed up documents, then got up and walked towards Manager Li''s office.


    Knocking on the door and entering, the iron-faced manager said, "You know that the company''s recent economic situation is a little bit bad. The superiors gave me ten layoff indicators, and dismissed some employees who can''t perform effectively." Manager Li glanced at An Feng. : "Sorry, you are one of them."


    An Feng was taken aback, then nodded slowly.


    Manager Li''s tone was lukewarm: "Considering your tenure in the company, I decided to pay you an additional three months'' salary as compensation."


    "Oh."


    "Any question?"


    "That''s it." An Feng left the office.


    Going back to pack things silently, a little sad, he has been working here for three years, no one can be ruthless than grass and trees. "It''s not necessarily a bad thing." He comforted himself, maybe he really wasn''t suitable for this job, working from nine to five like a numb machine, wanting to invest but always lacking motivation.


    Thanked colleagues one by one for their sincere or polite greetings, and packed the things. Zhang Li, a colleague who used to be chatty, came over, but she didn''t have the usual mood of bickering with him. Seeing this, An Feng took the lead in joking: "Don''t you take this rare opportunity to take revenge on me?"


    Zhang Li curled her lips and said, "Forgive your life first. What are your plans in the future? Are you still looking for a job here?"


    An Feng shrugged: "Maybe, let''s rest for a while and see."


    Zhang Li said: "If I can''t find it, I can introduce it to you."


    "Thank you." An Feng smiled.


    After he left, gossip-loving female colleagues gathered around Zhang Li, and someone shouted: "Our sister Li is also in spring, and she is ready to move?"


    "What nonsense!" Zhang Li scolded with a smile.


    "Then why do you care about him all of a sudden?" the little girls held on.


    Zhang Li thought for a while, and euphemistically said: "You little girl doesn''t understand, now suddenly there is no opponent to quarrel, invincibility is also a kind of loneliness."


    On the bus going home, there were not many passengers at this time, and they were all old men and women, rushing to get on the bus in front of them, and then urged the young people to make way for them. An Feng sat in the last row, listened to the noise in the car, and looked out the window boredly. When he calmed down, he recalled the dream just now.


    Since he was in college, he has been infested by the same strange dream over and over again, sometimes every few months, sometimes several weeks, and sometimes several days in a row. I didn��t see less doctors, I didn��t take less medicine, and I could recite the diagnostic terminology by myself, but it didn��t improve.


    The weirdest thing is that he can''t understand the content of the strange dream, just like a bunch of garbled characters on the computer, he can''t understand or read it. Fortunately, the strange dream does not affect his normal life, and he gets used to it over time. exist. When he woke up today, he actually understood the meaning of the garbled characters.


    In the dream, there was a voice that was constantly replaying like a broadcast, to the effect that he was asked to activate the locator at two critical points in time to receive some mysterious information. The first time point was two years ago and has been missed. The second time point is still more than a month away from now.


    An Feng was taken aback, a locator?


    The theory and steps of making a locator are all available, as if he had experienced it personally, as long as he finds the materials, he can do it with his eyes closed.


    But who would believe it? This is clearly a sign of madness!


    He didn''t worry about it, but the frequency of strange dreams increased. Whenever he closed his eyes, lay on the bed, and fell asleep, the information flooded in like a tide, circling around his ears like an ancient death knell , lingering. Every time I woke up, I was sweating profusely and my face was pale.


    After five days in a row, he succumbed in a state of depression.


    He decided to go crazy while he was young, and he would grow old if he stopped being himself.


    The materials needed to make a locator are common and can be bought on the market, and the principle is not complicated. It takes a specific time to locate and accept an instrument with a specific frequency. He began to be busy day and night. According to the guidance of memory, it is not unfamiliar to do it.


    After going on like this for a month, you''re done.


    The machine he regarded as his treasure was the size of a microwave oven. The poor workmanship caused the wires to extend randomly from the machine. The dazzling lines were tangled and intertwined with each other. The other end of the colorful lines was tied with tape and inserted into a In the large socket.


    An Feng held a control button in his hand and stared at the time displayed on the computer screen. There were three minutes left before the second time point.


    The locator looks like a piece of junk from a dump, does it really work?


    The time counted down to the last second, and he resolutely pressed the button.


    He held his breath, suddenly there was a crackling sound, and a burst of electric sparks danced wildly on the locator. In less than a second, all the lights were turned off, and the room was plunged into darkness. A pungent burning smell came out, and he couldn''t help coughing a few times, and hurried to open the window to breathe.


    It was also pitch black outside the window. An Feng underestimated the destructive power of this thing, and there was a lot of commotion, and the residents of the entire building suffered accordingly. Just as he was about to stick his head out to breathe, he heard the continuous ups and downs of cursing, closed the window resentfully, and retreated to the table.


    "It looks like a failure." Smelling the burning smell in the room, An Feng wanted to laugh, it was clearly the result of wild thinking, where is there any next-generation technology?


    I thought so in my heart, but I was still unwilling to check my "masterpiece". Fumbling a little bit with the flashlight, several lines were burned, and the smell was very pungent, but the main body was not damaged. As for the interior... he had a flash of inspiration, reached in, and felt...into an empty area.


    He could swear to God, this place has always been empty.


    But now, he actually touched something.


    "Successful?" An Feng couldn''t believe it, and took out the unknown object with trembling hands. The flashlight showed its original appearance.


    A square box with an ordinary shape, only the size of a palm, with patterns engraved on the surface, black and cold to the touch, but it is not known what material it is made of, and it is very strong. He carefully put the box on the table, checked it, and there was nothing special about it.


    However, there was a hint in his mind��from a strange dream.


    He immediately opened the box, and there was a set of medical syringes quietly inside. The transparent syringes had no scale, and there was a blue liquid lying inside. He assembled the syringe with deft hands, and the next step of the dream asked him to inject...liquid. He hesitated, the needle resting in front of his arm.


    He had a hunch that this was a good thing, but his instincts were rejecting this unknown force.


    "If it''s a crazy dream... just go crazy!"


    The liquid quickly disappeared in his body, and he spent five minutes in extreme tension, as if... his head started to heat up, and his thinking was several times clearer than before. Suddenly, his eyes turned white, and he fainted and fell to the ground. This time, it was the sweetest sleep he had ever had, without the intrusion of strange dreams and mental burden.


    When he woke up, it was already a day later.


    Nosebleeds on his cheeks and collar, yes, he knew what was going on, although he was unconscious for a day, but there was a strange lucidity of consciousness, as if his consciousness was divided into two parts, one part was dormant, and the other part was still working , taking over control of the body.


    He sat on the ground, rubbing his temples, trying to remember what happened. Blue liquid... A piece of information suddenly popped up in my mind: the nano-robots carried the bionic cells to the cerebral cortex, where the bionic cells continued to divide and proliferate to form a biological computer.


    "Biological computer?"


    An Feng just thought about it, and a strange thing happened��the brain started searching with "biological computer" as the keyword, got a bunch of garbled characters, and then translated it automatically. The general idea is: the bionic cells injected into the body start to fuse, and it will continue to metabolize, consuming chemical energy to divide and proliferate.


    The price is that the biological brain is reduced to a "hard disk", and his memories are organized into files and stored in chronological order, but the memories of more than two decades only occupy an inconspicuous part. The "hard disk" brought by the biological machine brain "External information" is as vast as the sea, immeasurable.


    Due to the scarcity of bionic cells, the computing power of the machine brain is still very weak. When Anfeng is activated, it can be understood that it stores large projects such as energy, electronics, biomedicine, and intelligent machines. But under the big projects, there are all garbled and put the cart before the horse information.


    "Energy." An Feng said silently, like a movie playing in his mind, showing a lot of garbled characters, mixed with a small part of the translated content.


    "Nuclear energy."


    Still garbled characters.


    "Nuclear Fusion."


    Garbled characters.


    "Controlled nuclear fusion."


    Garbled characters... suddenly translated several items. An Feng suddenly realized that the larger the keyword range, the slower the translation speed of the machine brain. When the range is narrowed��


    "Controlled nuclear fusion reaction using helium-3 as reactant."


    There is content!


    "Skip principle, steps, specific steps."


    After An Feng waited for half a minute, the garbled area was translated into a segment of recognizable information. He scanned a short segment, and there were drawings, methods, and instructions. Once the machine brain memorizes it, it is as familiar as it has been done countless times. He was ecstatic in his heart, is he going to develop?


    But after a closer look, the following content is a bit wrong.


    "Huh? ''The modification standard of the RD-8 armed robot''? How did it get to the robot?"


    An Feng continued to scan down, but the modification of the robot was not finished yet, and the next paragraph went to the rapid cloning of biological tissues, which was wrong.


    "Table of contents? Call up the table of contents? Write an outline... Give me a hint!"


    He tried for a long time, but found nothing. The only conclusion I got is: either the characters are garbled or the content is messy. It may take a lot of time to sort it out.


    Suddenly, his gaze refocused on the mysterious box.


    If the information about the machine brain is correct, the box has two layers. The upper layer is an extremely precious biological transformation fluid, which successfully transformed part of his brain into a biological computer, and the lower layer is a gift from a mysterious force... When An Feng opened it, his eyes flickered.


    The sunlight outside the window is shining obliquely. When it comes in, these objects lying in the box refract the light into countless parts, which are shining and crystal clear, making it hard to open your eyes.


    "diamond!"


    An Feng recognized these strange gadgets at a glance. After counting, there are twelve in total, ranging from small to large, from colorless to pink, and some of them are not small. An Feng carefully picked up the largest blue diamond, facing the sun, it was all dazzling blue.


    No matter how amateurish he is, he still knows that this blue diamond is top-notch.


    Counting the other diamonds, most of them are rare, big, exquisitely cut, pure and flawless... He swallowed heavily, and there was only one thought in his mind: Compared with the unknown technology in his mind, these diamonds Bright stones are what he wants!

 Chapter 2： Developed!

    Chapter 2 developed!


    An Feng''s excitement lasted for several hours, until he was so hungry that he went to make a bowl of instant noodles with boiling water, eat a makeshift meal to fill his stomach, and then turned on the computer with great interest, browsing and diamond prices , appraisal, auction and so on.


    Gained a lot of knowledge, but it also made him calm down. It is not yet possible to tell the authenticity of a diamond��of course, with current technology, it is difficult to create such a perfect and pure stone. The easiest way is to go to the jewelry store tomorrow and spend a few hundred dollars to have an appraisal for a few of the small ones. If it is true, developed! If it''s an imitation...at least it''s an advanced technology, right?


    An Feng stayed up all night staring at the computer. His eyes couldn''t take it anymore, so he lay down on the bed to rest, but the machine brain was still working. He found that he could work while resting. After groping for a way, he turned his attention to the pile of mysterious information, looking for information related to diamonds.


    It is not easy to actually do it. Because he is guarding a pile of treasures, but he has no way to dig them out. It is like a thick encyclopedia. pages of books.


    The knowledge in his mind is more than thousands of pages? Without an index, there was no way to start. He didn''t know whether he was looking for a biotechnology or a chemical theory. He didn''t know where to start from the next page after reading one page. It was not coherent.


    Happiness, this time turned into trouble. It is difficult for him to sort out this mountain of information with his personal ability. The current method is: find a piece of "garbled code", and then use the machine brain to translate it until the garbled code becomes identifiable information, and then pray to God that this is the content he needs.


    It lasted until the sunrise of the next day, and what he learned was: chaos is not permanent, and the biological computer with cells as the basic unit is constantly dividing and proliferating, one becomes two, two becomes four...geometric growth. When the machine brain is powerful enough, it will translate all garbled characters and sort out the directory.


    Current progress is 1%.


    I took a shower in the morning, changed into a suit specially, and stood in front of the mirror. What I saw was a spirited young man. He has a good figure, tall and strong, probably because he usually pays attention to exercise. He is over 1.8 meters tall, and he has a little bit of temperament in terms of temperament.


    Before departure, I put a few small white diamonds that needed to be identified in my pocket, stopped a car on the side of the road, and went to a famous local commercial street. The city where Anfeng is located is a well-developed second-tier city, where there are many chain jewelry stores.


    I chose a shop with a good reputation on the Internet, went in and told the shopping guide my purpose, and was then taken to the third floor. After paying the fee, I took a number and lined up. The previous waves of people also came to appraise. There are jade and antiques. I exchanged ideas with them, and it was his turn soon.


    The appraisal room is just an ordinary office. There are some special magnifying glasses, diamond lights and other professional equipment in the corner cabinet. I hand in the two white diamonds and one pink diamond that I need to appraise. The two appraisers are about forty or fifty. Around the age of 10, he doesn''t like to talk.


    After a while of silent research, the door inside the office opened, and a middle-aged man came out of it to join the identification team of these two people. An Feng couldn''t understand the technical terms in their mouths, but at least he hadn''t heard words like "imitation" and "fake goods" that he didn''t want to hear.


    Feeling uneasy, he waited restlessly for five minutes, and when the result came out, one of the men said with a smile: "Sir, these diamonds of yours are of very high quality, and they belong to the rare top level. A special appraisal certificate will be issued in the I''ll call you back in five minutes."


    After speaking, he handed over a piece of paper, recording the data of the three diamonds. Last night''s review worked, at least he won''t think that being big means being valuable. There are four aspects to measure the value of a diamond, the so-called 4Cs, including clarity, color, cut, and size.


    He browsed the data of the first diamond, clarity: LC, color: D, cut: very good, weight: 3.2 carats. An Feng was overjoyed. Except for the slightly lower weight, all other aspects had reached the top level. This is extremely rare in diamond circles and has proven its worth.


    The other two are of top quality, the other white diamond weighs 3.3 carats, and the pink diamond has no color grade, but because colored diamonds are rare, the weight of 3 carats is enough to make it stand out from the crowd. After reading the appraisal, An Feng said, "I want to sell it to you."


    "Sir, please wait a moment." Needless to say, the appraiser immediately notified the manager of the jewelry store, and specially took An Feng and his diamonds to a private room, made a cup of good tea, and chatted slowly. The manager asked politely, "Sir, are you really planning to sell these three diamonds?"


    "It depends on what price you offer." An Feng said calmly. These are just the three smallest diamonds he picked out. He puts a huge amount of wealth in his pocket. He speaks more confidently, isn''t it just three diamonds? The stone at the end of the list is the size of my thumb.


    The manager smiled and said, "Two white diamonds cost three million yuan, and pink diamonds cost three million yuan."


    An Feng also smiled and said: "I checked the price of diamond auctions. Even if you sell two white diamonds for 4 million, you will not lose money. As for the pink diamonds, I don''t plan to sell them."


    "Three and a half million." How can a businessman not bargain, the manager is an old fritter, and pointed out the shortcomings: "Sir, you know, in the sale of diamonds without invoices and identities, we need to bear the burden." It��s not a small risk, so this price is the limit.��


    An Feng naturally knows this. The origin of his diamond is unknown, and there is no invoice at all. Maybe it is a blood diamond, but if there is money to be made, anyone will take the risk. Christie''s auctioned the animal head with an invoice? These words also deceive the common people who watch the news. An Feng considered for more than ten seconds, and finally nodded in agreement.


    He knew that he had lost money, but he didn��t want to go for the small money, and he didn��t get the big money. Selling it to a jewelry company actually didn��t have technical content. If he wanted to sell it at a high price, he turned to an international auction company. He thought about sending the two larger colored diamonds in the box to the auction, and exchanged them for 10 to 20 million, which would be interesting!


    After the transfer of 3.5 million was completed, the manager personally sent him to the door, shook hands and said goodbye, and said that if he wanted to dispose of the pink diamond, they could give him a high price. An Feng also pretended to be polite: "If I want to make a move, I will contact you first." In the end, the business card was thrown into the taxi.


    I was refreshed on the way back, and I had lunch at a nice restaurant. I also ordered a bottle of red wine like those rich people, took a sip, and smacked my lips...I didn��t feel it. I really don��t know why movies like to act like this. After a full meal, An Feng returned to the rental house he rented.


    This area is the so-called bullish urban village. It is specially prepared for graduates and young people who come to work from other places. Generally, they are single rooms with kitchen and bathroom. The lighting is not good, the competition for land is serious, and the buildings are crowded. You are sleeping here. On the other side, the voices of the young couple XX could be heard clearly, and they did not distinguish between day and night. The young couple who worked the night shift finished their work during the day, followed by the young couple who couldn''t sleep at night.


    It''s not that An Feng doesn''t want to move, but a better place means that the rent needs to eat up a quarter of his salary, and he doesn''t have a girlfriend, so the bachelor can just make do with it, and after a year or two, he doesn''t feel any discomfort of. But now that I have money, looking at my kennel, it''s really not worthy of the grade!


    He searched online for the branches of international auction companies in his country. Due to policy reasons, there are relatively few of them, and they are all concentrated in big cities. There is an American auction company in the capital with strong strength. It is better to hit the sun than to choose a date, so he booked a flight ticket to the capital the next afternoon on the Internet.


    Except for the important documents and laptops, all the other things were handed over to the old man who collects rags in this area. Many electrical appliances such as induction cooker and single-door refrigerator are in normal operation. An Feng didn''t care about it and gave them away directly. , the rent will not be refunded, and I will leave on time the next day.


    Before he set off, he threw away the metal box. This thing can''t pass the security check. He doesn''t want to be swept out of the box and bring out this pile of diamonds. It''s not worth the loss and there is no place to cry. Throw it away. Moreover, the box is not a rare thing except that the material is extraordinarily strong.


    Sitting in a comfortable business class cabin, my mind is full of repeating the lyrics of "When we have money": buy two Rolls-Royces, drive one, and tow one; People live in one, pigs in one; Pierre Cardin has two sets, one set of curtains, one set of rags...


    So much so that after getting off the plane, he wished he could rush to the door of the auction house and pat his big diamond on someone''s table, but unfortunately he had already left work. He stayed in a star hotel and called to make an appointment the next morning. Take a trip to the soft bed of the hotel, dreaming sweet dreams until dawn.


    Attend the meeting on time the next day.


    Due to making an appointment in advance, the data reported by An Feng was too shocking, a blue diamond the size of a thumb, and two very similar pink diamonds... The other party also showed great sincerity and waited for him in the number one box. The reception specifications are different, two beautiful and tall girls in cheongsam, and the manager is a foreigner with high nose bridge and brown hair, speaking fluent Chinese, first shook hands with An Feng, and then said: "Mr. Several GIA (Gemological Institute of America) senior appraisers have been invited to ensure that your collection can get the most authentic data."


    "I believe in your strength." An Feng said with a smile.


    "This way please." The manager invited him in.


    An Feng brought eight diamonds this time, two very similar large pink diamonds, and one blue diamond, estimated to weigh one or two. Two brilliant white diamonds, three small ones. Those few experts are also professional enough, with a lot of equipment, and they all communicate in English during the period.


    An Feng became even more disturbed. He tried hard to figure out what they were talking about.


    Soon, the manager came to shake hands with him with a smile, as if meeting the God of Wealth: "Mr. An, congratulations! Your diamond quality is unprecedentedly high, and the cut is unbelievable! I have never seen it in my career! It��s so exciting to meet so many top performers!��


    "Yes! I''m so excited!" An Feng shook hands with the enthusiastic manager, but he was muttering in his heart, my stuff, why are you so excited.


    "However," the manager used a twist, and An Feng was a little nervous. Could it be that there is something wrong, they don''t accept diamonds from unknown sources?


    "According to my understanding of Easterners, you prefer jade, while Westerners prefer diamonds. If you want to auction it in China, I am afraid it will not achieve the desired effect."


    "What is your suggestion?" An Feng heaved a sigh of relief.


    "You can entrust us to send this batch of diamonds to the United States for auction. First, we will hold an exhibition for a period of time, so that the world''s rich and media will focus on them, and then we will stir them up to push the price to the peak. To achieve a win-win effect for you and me, what do you think?"


    "It couldn''t be more suitable." An Feng said, "Based on your estimates, if only the two pink diamonds are auctioned, what is the expected transaction price?"


    The manager thought for a while, then ran to ask the experts in a rigorous manner, and then came back and said: "If it is those two twin pink diamonds, the estimated transaction price is between 25 million and 35 million US dollars, and we will publicize them all the way." , only charge a commission of 10% of the transaction price.��

 Chapter 3： touch the law

    Chapter 3 touches the law


    Hearing the number reported by the manager, An Feng almost couldn''t help dancing, but thinking that this is a serious occasion, he is also a person with a huge treasure, and this calmness should be a must... However, this number is indeed It exceeded his original expectation, and he was very satisfied if the two pink diamonds could be sold for 20 million - the local currency unit, but he didn''t expect the other party to offer US dollars.


    In addition to the two pink diamonds to be auctioned, An Feng also agreed to send the other six diamonds to the United States for exhibition. In addition to creating an advertising effect, the deeper reason is that the other diamonds are not small, and there is no guarantee that they will be lost if they are taken out. Yes, it''s safer to let the auction house get it out.


    A lawyer was invited and an entrustment agreement was signed. Then, the manager named Tony asked: "Mr. An, do you want to go with us?"


    An Feng shook his head: "I still have some things to deal with, please let me know after the auction is over."


    "Okay, it will take about a month. Please keep the communication open." Tony said with a smile, shaking hands with An Feng, and the two said goodbye.


    An Feng originally planned to take a one-day trip to the capital, but seeing that the weather was gray and foggy, and everyone on the street was wearing masks, he had no choice but to stay in the hotel for a day and book a plane ticket to go home. If he wants to go abroad, he still needs to go back to the place of household registration to apply for a passport, which is why he declined the invitation from the other party.


    Anfeng''s hometown is located in a quiet small town in the south. After the plane landed, it took more than an hour to take a minibus. Sitting in the crowded carriage, listening to the dialect spoken by the passengers on the same car, there is an indescribable intimacy. I was busy with work, and I didn''t go back for a long time.


    The weather in May in the south is muggy and sweaty. After the bus arrived at the station, An Feng refused the motorcycle man''s yelling at the station gate, and walked home. His family lived in a small town, not far away. When I got home, there was no one there, and I checked the time. It should be busy farming at this time.


    He lives in the kind of small three-story western-style building that is common in rural areas. Apart from his parents, his family also has an older sister who is a middle school teacher. The business of the chicken farm is neither good nor bad, and it is not considered developed, but it can still survive.


    An Feng cooks himself, but of course he cannot guarantee his skills. When my parents came back in the evening, it was said that they were taken aback. They saw the door of the house open from a distance, and thought they had been burglarized. An Feng was embarrassed for a while, he came back in a hurry without notifying anyone, but he quickly diverted the topic to other aspects.


    He called his brother-in-law��s family, and then told them the story he had made up a long time ago, saying that he won the jackpot by buying a lottery ticket, and decided to leave one million to his parents, and he did what he should do, buying furniture, replacing the car, etc. But in the end, Mom and Dad unanimously decided to save the money.


    An Feng said speechlessly: "The money is for you to spend."


    My mother said with a smile: "I''m living a good life, your sister is married, and you are graduating. How can we spend what we old people have?"


    An Feng knew this would happen a long time ago. His parents are honest farmers. His greatest wish is for his children to live well, and he has no other plans. He talked about his sister''s family again, and decided to lend them 500,000 yuan. Of course, it doesn''t matter if it''s not repaid. He also left 300,000 yuan in student aid to his niece Xiaoyu. Going to school is not easy these days, and girls can''t do without beautiful clothes.


    The little niece is more than five years old, and she is at the age of ghosts and spirits. She is very skinny, and she got the title of a troublemaker in the kindergarten. Hearing this, she cheered and wanted to kiss her uncle, so that the sister beside her couldn''t stand it: " Xiaoyu, you are still young, I will keep the money for you."


    "Don''t! Don''t! Don''t!" Xiaoyu is much smarter than An Feng when he was a child, knowing that this kind of custody is mostly meat buns beating dogs.


    "Okay, okay, do you want 300,000 yuan or 100,000 yuan?" My sister asked her with a smile.


    After all, it was a child, counted on his fingers, and naively chose a hundred and five yuan.


    The whole family laughed, making the little girl look confused. An Feng picked her up and teased her: "Mom hates it the most, doesn''t it? Why don''t you go with uncle, I''ll take you to the United States, go to Disneyland, go to San Diego to see the underwater world, how about taking a hot air balloon to see the Grand Canyon ?��


    The little girl happily became a traitor.


    An Feng mentioned by the way that he was going to the United States. While he was young, he wanted to go to the outside world to have a look. He talked about the heaven and **** of the U.S. emperor on the TV network all day long, but he hadn��t had a chance to see it yet. The whole family agrees with his idea, he is unemployed, and it is not bad to go on a trip to relax.


    The following days were very peaceful. An Feng followed his father to do farm work, which was not heavy work. He just loaded some grain and vegetables from the small town into farm vehicles, and then wholesaled them to the nearby countryside. Occasionally do some round-trip transportation business.


    Don''t look at An Feng as a small white-collar worker, he does his work unambiguously. He often helped adults when he was young, driving a fully loaded agricultural vehicle on winding mountain roads to deliver goods, and his driving skills were developed at that time, no two-wheeled motorcycles, three-wheeled agricultural vehicles, four-wheeled tractors...all are absent Next.


    While waiting for the passport, I often touched the crops in the field, the saplings on the brother-in-law mountain, and helped to configure various fertilizers... As a graduate of the Agricultural University, I also answered some doubts for the villagers. Just one night, he suddenly found information about a pile of fertilizer.


    He excitedly got up in the middle of the night and wrote down the ingredients, steps and so on. Early the next morning, he seemed to have grasped the pattern... In the field he is familiar with, it is very easy to translate garbled characters or search for information. For example, water-soluble fertilizers, his own professionalism allows him to grasp keywords.


    Would progress be made if this search method were applied to man-made diamonds? An Feng immediately looked for information on the Internet, such as the high-temperature and high-pressure technology of artificial diamonds, and the more refined high-temperature and low-pressure technology...It may take a lot of time for ordinary people to learn, but the machine brain can do it all at once.


    It only took one day for An Feng to become a half-expert.


    In this way, even if the information has not been sorted out, he can use the machine brain to study modern technology first, and after laying the foundation, he can narrow the scope and locate the future technology in his mind. Although there is still chance, the probability has been greatly improved. It used to be looking for a needle in a haystack, but now it is waiting for a rabbit.


    Then, the searched answer was translated, showing that: artificial diamond technology has been able to replace natural diamonds, because it does not involve counterfeiting, but uses the same carbon element to quickly simulate volcanoes or deep underground environments to catalyze these particularly hard diamonds. diamond.


    However, there is still no basis to find out whether the batch of diamonds in Anfeng''s hands are man-made. However, the focus of his concern is no longer on this. Based on the information in his mind, the technology of man-made diamonds is at least hundreds of years ahead of the earth. The current technology Can''t tell at all.


    If he has mastered this technology, he can get some top-level stones every three to five years, not many, one in every three to five years, and if he has no money, he will take them to auction, and he will not do low-end work, and use those one or two carat diamonds to sell It''s too low to deceive ordinary people. He is targeting the high-end field. People who can afford diamonds of tens of carats are definitely local tyrants who are not short of money. Even if they cheat them, An Feng will not have the slightest psychological burden.


    If you can succeed, you will never be short of money in your life.


    Continue to in-depth research. In the future, the craft of man-made diamonds is not simple. It needs to use simulated high-pressure environment, high-precision machines, or 3D printers. It is a huge project that affects the whole body. For the current progress of the machine brain, I am afraid it is still too early.


    He again focused on the water-soluble fertilizer he "excerpted" and carefully edited the content according to the standards of the paper. After checking it several times, he signed his signature, and then used penguins to contact his college classmates: "Wang Le, die!" Where did you go? Brother calls you!"


    After a while, Wang Le''s profile picture lit up: "What''s the matter with the **** looking for the master?"


    An Feng replied: "There is something serious, by the way, are you still in graduate school?"


    "I''m about to graduate, let''s talk about something."


    "I have a paper on a new type of water-soluble fertilizer here. I heard that someone in the school is working on this topic. I want you to pass it on to those professors."


    Wang Le replied very quickly this time: "Wow, how many years has it been since you graduated, you can still come up with a thesis?"


    "Haha, I sent it to you." An Feng replied.


    "Are you serious?" Wang Le accepted the document, and the profile picture quickly darkened. About half an hour later, he came back to reply: "Okay! I have several points about the things you wrote. I don��t understand, how did you come up with it? There��s a show, I��ll help you cast it another day.��


    "Thank you, Brother Graduation sent you a red envelope." An Feng replied with a smile.


    Wang Le��s news never came. An Feng browsed the reports of related jewelry exhibitions on the Internet, and only mentioned it occasionally in China. An Feng Googled foreign websites and finally found the reports of the auction. Looking for a translator while chewing English, generally speaking, the report is often described as "surprise".


    The two pink diamonds were named "Gemini". They have been exhibited three times in a row, and they are scheduled to be auctioned in New York next week. Many wealthy people have received invitations, and the bidding intentions are very hot. The total weight of the two giant diamonds, which can be called a miracle, is 30 carats, which is definitely a model for collection.


    After applying for a passport in Anfeng, a few days before departure, Wang Le received a message: "Unfortunately, I was rejected."


    An Feng was puzzled: "No one is watching?"


    "I see, but... I''d better call and tell you." Wang Le called later: "There also happened to be a group in the college doing research on water-soluble fertilizers. The government has already consumed a lot of funds. Progress has been made. Of course, your technique is better."


    "Then why not?" An Feng was even more puzzled.


    "Here, people have invested tens of millions of dollars in research results for several months, but you just spit out tens of thousands of words at a low cost... With so many people in the expert team and so much money spent, can''t it be better than you... You should You know, it''s not just a technical issue."


    "Is this a matter of reputation and relationship?" An Feng understood.


    "That''s right." Wang Le said.


    An Feng was at a loss for words for a while, but he still thanked his old classmate for his help: "Forget it, think about it, my strength is no match for those experts."


    "Don''t be discouraged. If the east is not bright, the west is bright. You can try to find a private research team. Why not resell the patent?"


    "Thank you for your good words!" An Feng felt better.

 Chapter 4： Go to America, earn (pit) dollars

    Chapter 4 Go to the United States and earn (pit) dollars


    On the day of departure, all the relatives came to see him off. Hearing the repeated instructions from his parents, the blessings from his sister and brother-in-law, and Xiaoyu��s reluctance, this scene seemed like a farewell. An Feng said with sweat all over his face, "Hey, I''m traveling, not going to Mars, what are you guys doing?"


    The adults all laughed, but Xiaoyu kept tugging at the hem of his clothes, insisting that his uncle would fulfill his promise to take her to America. My sister coaxed her that my uncle would be back soon, but the little girl became smarter. Crying and shouting to go together, in the end An Feng had to promise to take her with him next time, and after pulling the hook, she stopped. Carrying the tea eggs made by my mother, I got on the bus bound for the city.


    Didn''t stay in the provincial capital, the flight flew directly to the capital, and it was already night when they arrived, so they called Tony at the hotel and made an appointment to meet. I used the hotel computer to log on to Huiwang, and found that the auction in New York had ended, and the "Gemini" was sold at an average price of 1.2 million US dollars per carat, with a total price of 36 million US dollars.


    In RMB, more than 200 million, luxury houses, sports cars, and many people are willing to call godfathers... And this is just the tip of the iceberg, the one-two-weight blue diamond in his hand is estimated to be even higher, other High-quality diamonds are not far behind.


    If the catalog comes out in the future, or the technology of man-made diamonds is found, I am afraid that I will really have to think about whether to travel to the moon in this life... After a sleepless night, An Feng simply hugged the computer and chatted with the diving party in the penguin colony. Who is married, who is married, attack those bad guys who post happy photos. Early the next morning, An Feng took a taxi and went to the local notary office to apply for notarization of the driver''s license.


    The so-called driver''s license notarization means that if you want to drive abroad, you must translate the certificate into the language of other countries (the old version of the driver''s license), generally in English, and you can drive in most states of the United States with a notarization, without taking a driver''s license, for self-driving travel is facilitated. According to the inquiry, the normal processing time is five days, and An Feng can''t keep up.


    But it is not difficult to have money in this world. The "VIP" channel provides a one-hour fast pick-up service. In the afternoon, Tony drove over to pick him up. He still took the VIP and went to the consulate. He still needs a consulate visa to go abroad.


    It is said that the passport book in the mainland is really not easy to use. There is no visa-free or visa-on-arrival agreement with Europe and the United States. Some people rushed to the consulate to ask for a visa, but they were rejected before they could say a few words... When An Feng answered the question of the visa officer , Most of them are "no". If you choose the United States for the first time to go abroad, the white passport (empty) is likely to be rejected, but after the letter presented by Tony, the visa officer approved it.


    Going abroad is still easy to use in Hong Kong or Macau. There are more than 100 countries that are visa-free and visa-on-arrival. If you go to a visa-free country, you don��t need to prepare anything, just buy an air ticket. Some people say that the strength of the country is also reflected in the passport book. Wherever you go, you have to be reviewed by visa officers at various levels. How proud are you? Of course, don��t be too happy for the American people. If you go to places like North Korea, Iran, and Afghanistan, their pass rate will be far lower than ours.


    After a busy day, An Feng took the flight from the capital to Los Angeles, USA. The original plan was to go directly to New York, but the flight would depart at night. He was in a hurry. This time Tony accompanied him.


    Tony said seriously: "You are a big customer, and the company can''t treat you badly." It is much more convenient to have more Tony. Anfeng University has passed CET-4 and has struggled to CET-6, but if you really want to communicate with foreigners Communication, I''m afraid not yet. Tony has lived in China for several years, and his Chinese is good enough to be a translator.


    More than ten hours later, it was night in BJ, but the sky outside the cabin was still clear. The plane landed at LAX Airport. An Feng and Tony walked out of the airport building with their luggage. Baiyun, the air was so good that he was a little uncomfortable.


    Tony frowned: "The air in Los Angeles is not very good."


    An Feng bowed his head and walked fiercely, the big cities in China can''t compare!


    Due to a tight schedule, An Feng stayed in a hotel near the airport, and later had dinner with Tony. He wanted to see Los Angeles, but there were no good places near the airport, so he had to take a car to go. In addition, shopping with a man can easily be mistaken as GAY in the United States.


    Stayed for another day, the plane flew from the west coast to the east coast, landed in New York, and met another person at the passageway, holding a sign in his hand with Tony''s English name written on it. Tony hurried forward, and An Feng followed. The other party was a white man in his 30s and 40s, with black hair, taller than An Feng, and with a beard, he looked a bit like Beckham. He shook hands with An Feng and said, "Mr. An, hello!"


    "Hello!" An Feng also said.


    Tony introduced: "He is my BOSS Anthony Blulane, he came to pick you up in person."


    Anthony said with a smile: "Ann helped me earn more than three million dollars, maybe when she can continue to bring me several million dollars, I have to watch you!"


    An Feng smiled speechlessly, foreigners are real.


    "Please!" Anthony gestured for them to go together.


    A black BMW 750 was parked in the airport parking lot. Tony helped An Feng put his luggage away, and then took the driver''s seat. Anthony and An Feng sat in the back row and chatted in English. Tony also helped translate from time to time. Anthony is very good at eliciting topics, and he eliminated the strangeness in a short while.


    Talking about the money, Anthony said with emotion: "Ann, the huge tax bill of more than 10 million dollars, are you ready to deal with the tax bureau?"


    "Really ruthless!" An Feng said, no wonder Americans unanimously believe that the IRS is stronger than the FBI, saying that they are going to deduct one-third of the money before they get it.


    "Maybe I should give you a good idea." Anthony said with a smile.


    "Please say."


    "If you just want to get a sum of money here and return to China after traveling and playing, then the tax is settled. If you stay here, invest, consume, buy real estate, etc., in April next year, I believe the tax will be paid. The bureau will deduct a lot of deductions from your personal tax."


    An Feng asked: "I am not familiar with the tax laws of the United States, how is this calculated?"


    "I''m confused about the specific calculation method. I''m afraid you have to hire a private accountant. I can only remind you that a wealthy class like you who invests more than one million dollars in the United States can prove to create ten jobs. If you have a job, the Immigration Bureau will rush to handle immigration for you."


    "I''ll think about it." An Feng said.


    Anthony nodded: "I have to think about it seriously."


    An hour''s drive came to the city center. An Feng received a check in the reception room of the auction company. Anthony came over with two goblets and a bottle of champagne. He poured two glasses leisurely. Anthony said with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. An! Have you thought about where to go on vacation?"


    An Feng raised the check in his hand: "I''m afraid I have to think about how to deal with this check first."


    Anthony said: "Let me recommend a bank for you, VIP treatment. You don''t have an SSN (Social Security Number), and it is very troublesome to open an account by yourself."


    An Feng was about to agree, when a thought flashed through his mind, "You think I will stay and invest?"


    This guy has a clever mind!


    Anthony raised his glass: "Why not? For the poor, this is hell, but for the rich, America is heaven!"


    An Feng had already thought about it in the car, and there is no future for him to return to China. He is still concerned about the man-made diamond. This way of making money should not be used on compatriots. The United States is good. The economy is developed, there are many rich people, and they like shiny stones.


    This place undoubtedly meets the condition of "people are stupid and rich in money", so An Feng nodded.


    Anthony clinked glasses with him, went to the side and made a phone call, and came back to tell An Feng to wait.

 Chapter 5： generous

    Chapter 5 Generous


    If he intends to develop in the United States, there are many topics to talk to Anthony. He is well-informed and familiar with the investment environment in various parts of the United States. He speaks clearly and logically, and An Feng has obtained a lot of information from him. In general, he prefers the west to the dense east.


    About an hour later, a guy who looked somewhat similar to Anthony, but much younger came. He was wearing a well-fitting suit and looked confident. He went up to shake hands with An Feng first, and then said, "Roger Blueline, nice to meet you, An from China."


    An Feng exchanged some polite words with him, and then got to the point. During the conversation, I learned that Roger is Anthony''s younger brother, who works at American Express, and is only one year older than An Feng. Looking at the business card he handed over, he was just an ordinary employee. He didn''t expect that when he took An Feng to do business, he drove a white Maserati GT sports car.


    An Feng sat in the co-pilot and looked around curiously. Roger saw the doubt in his eyes and said with a smile: "I know you are curious about how an ordinary employee would drive this kind of car. Let me tell you the truth. I''m not working for the bank, I''m working for my family."


    "I understand." An Feng thought to himself that it was the second generation and the third generation.


    Sitting in Roger''s sporty sports car, he came to the bank area to open a checking account and a credit card for him, and deposited all the money in it. Roger introduced: "In the United States and even in the world, American Express has its own offices, and we can provide the most unique services, such as private safes, personal assistants, financial advisors, and membership in certain high-end clubs. These only require a phone call."


    An Feng felt that he was bragging, so he asked, "Is there any immigration business for me?"


    Roger shook his head, then smiled: "I found that I like you a little bit."


    "I don''t like men." An Feng said solemnly.


    "Hahaha! You are so funny!" Roger laughed, and An Feng followed suit. Forget it, he still doesn''t understand American humor.


    "Of course, the bank does not have these businesses for the time being, but my family is involved in brokerage business in various industries, and quickly handling immigration for you is also among them."


    The service industry in the United States is extremely developed, especially in the field of serving the rich. It''s no wonder that the United States, as the only superpower, has a lot of rich people, and if there is demand, there will be supply. What''s more, An Feng has stored all the valuable diamonds in the bank safe, which is really a potential cash cow.


    The intermediary who applied for his green card took him to fill out the form, went to the immigration office, got back the materials, and waited for his real investment certificate to be issued. As long as you have money, the speed of the Americans is indeed nothing to say. Immigrants were running errands, and An Feng followed real estate agents around the world.


    At first, he wanted to be a farmer, owning a large piece of land, and riding a steed in the sunset, but he ran in Ohio, Kansas, and Texas and found that there is a lot of land, but there is only one family per kilometer , It''s too lonely, he crossed this aspect, and chose the right amount of crowd.


    In this way, pastures, forest farms and the like are all excluded. They can be used for vacation, but staying for a long time will make people crazy. After running around for a few days, he decided to invest in a vineyard in California. Vineyards in California account for 90% of the U.S. grape industry, and the land price is also rising year by year, which has investment value.


    Then there is the issue of site selection. Napa Valley, Sonoma and other places are the most famous, and the land is also the most expensive. Most of them already have owners, and the rest are leftovers. An Feng vetoed it. Turning to San Luis Obispo County in central California, there are two properties.


    One of them had an asking price of three million yuan, an area of ??more than 60 acres, and a house of 1,000 square meters. The environment was not too good, so An Feng went to see the second place. This land is obviously much larger, more than 360 acres of flat land, the house is located on the top of the hill, more than 30 meters above the flat land, with a vast view.


    On the top of the mountain stands a mansion of more than 2,000 square meters, equipped with a 5,000-square-meter garden front yard, and a nearly 200-square-meter borderless luxury swimming pool in the backyard. One side of the pool is designed as a straight cliff with a drop of 15 meters. When you are bored, you can lie on the edge of the cliff and look at the mountains and vineyards.


    An Feng fell in love with this place at first sight. Although it cost 11 million US dollars, he still proudly paid it in one lump sum, and took it along with the original team working on the vineyard. After drafting the agreement, An Feng made a phone call, and the rest was handed over to the senior lawyer provided by American Express, with an advance payment of 3,000 US dollars and an hourly asking price of 800. What a blood-sucking price, no wonder so many people in the United States are lawyers.


    He made an appointment to meet in Paso Robles, which is a 20-minute drive away from the vineyard. The lawyers of both sides read the clauses in the contract very carefully, and made several phone calls during the period, which took more than two hours. After the lawyers were satisfied, An Feng signed the contract.


    After filling out a check, the land with an area of ??1.45 million square meters belongs to him. However, his schedule was too tight, and he didn''t have time to inspect his territory, so he followed the agency to the immigration office non-stop. The proof materials are complete, and after the review is completed, his green card will be issued to him, a card similar to a domestic ID card, with his profile picture, name and other information on it.


    I also listened to some precautions from the intermediary, especially the SSN, which is equivalent to a domestic ID number, but more important, such as credit records, bank accounts, buying a house, car, insurance, guns, guns, and missiles... used. He also found an important point, until he walked out of the immigration office, he still held a Chinese passport.


    The agent patiently explained his doubts: "Mr. An, the green card is actually just a permanent residence in the United States, and you are still a Chinese citizen. If you want to become a U.S. citizen, you can apply for naturalization (naturalization) after holding the green card for five years, or Naturalization after three years of marriage to a U.S. citizen."


    "Oh, I understand." An Feng blushed a lot. Up to now, he thought that after the investment immigration is over, it is equivalent to becoming an American citizen.


    After saying goodbye to his agent, he is currently located in San Luis Obisburg, San Luis Obispo County, **** Luo, fortunately it has an abbreviation: SLO.


    Seeing that it was getting late, An Feng stayed in a local hotel for one night. Early the next morning, he took the business card given by his agent and called the local car dealer.


    There is a disadvantage in the United States. It is difficult to go out without a car. He has to buy a car. But there are not many local dealers in SLO, and his sports car dream can only be temporarily stranded. After making an appointment, he found a local car dealership that deals in pickups and SUVs and looked at the models they were selling.


    At first glance, there were pickup trucks in the past, Ford��s F series, Chevrolet��s Silverado, etc. He looked at them one by one. After learning that he ran a vineyard, the salesperson recommended: ��Sir, most of the work in the vineyard is based on pickup trucks. You can see Look at these models, F-150, F-250, and popular colors are available!"


    Influenced by China, An Feng chose a black domineering F-150 and asked for a test drive. Accompanied by the salesman, I drove the car around and even came to test the road. It felt good. With a displacement of 6.2 liters and more than 400 horsepower, it is enough to deal with dirt roads.


    The last surprise is the price. This top-of-the-line F-150 sells for more than 50,000 U.S. dollars, plus taxes, insurance and other expenses are only more than 60,000 points, which is equivalent to less than 400,000 RMB. In the early 100,000s. Driving it, I was a little excited to take advantage of it.

    Remarks: For the convenience of narration, the concept of temporary green card is not mentioned in the article, and the regularization period is not written, so the protagonist speeds up to get it.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 6： recruitment

    Chapter 6 Recruitment


    An Feng also bought an off-road motorcycle and an all-terrain vehicle. The off-road motorcycle can be placed directly in the back of the pickup truck, and the all-terrain vehicle is the kind of quad bike that is used on the beach in China, and the merchant is responsible for the delivery. He bought it considering the mountain roads and fields around the vineyard, and it would be great to play off-road occasionally.


    Originally planned to go to the gun store, but California is one of the four states with the strictest gun control in the United States. He heard that there would be exams and so on. Before he could figure it out, An Feng temporarily gave up on this huge temptation. Back in the car, I moved towards the vineyard a little bit with the GPS navigator.


    F-150 is big in size, with a high cab position and a wide field of view. With one foot of the accelerator, the power is surging, which completely compares with the surrounding small cars. The interior space is spacious, and An Feng, who is 1.81 meters tall, still has a lot of head space when he sits down. No wonder so many people like to drive big cars.


    Leaving Orbisburg, there are still more than 70 kilometers away from the vineyard. It is not the first time for An Feng to drive, but it is the first time to drive in the United States. He feels that pickup trucks can be seen everywhere on the road, and the speed of the car They are also very fast. He clearly saw a "65" sign on the side of the road, but many cars were traveling at speeds exceeding 75 mph. He is not timid, and when he sees others hurrying, he follows suit, but it only takes half an hour to go back.


    Leave the national road and turn into the two-way lane leading to the vineyard. The straight road has no end in sight, surrounded by mountains and vast vineyards. It was mid-June at this time, the sun was shining brightly, the white clouds against the background of the blue sky were extremely low, and the air was surprisingly good. An Feng slowed down the speed of the car, and looked at the left and right sides of the road dazzledly. In his mind, there was a dreamy scene of green mountains, sunshine, plump grapes, and fine wine.


    Breathing in the fresh air, looking at the greenery everywhere, and listening to the country music on the radio, An Feng trembled to the beat and exclaimed excitedly: "This is life!"


    "The weather is so good, I need a convertible car!" After thinking about it, he looked through the car window and saw his mansion on the top of the mountain from a distance, surrounded by a vast expanse of neatly arranged vineyards that belonged to him. Drive slowly up the mountain, and the scenery you see is even more magnificent.


    An Feng backed the car in the garage, got out of the car and strolled slowly in the front yard, making up for the regret of not being able to appreciate it last time. The lawn is planted with soft green grass and some common palm trees, as well as unnamed dwarf shrubs. It is full of greenery, and there are a few birdsong from time to time. It is also good to find a chance to raise a few dogs and play on the lawn.


    The house adopts a horizontal design, two stories high but very wide. There are seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. The interior is laid with light yellow wooden floors, oil paintings and more than a dozen split elk heads are hung on the walls. The fireplace and sofa also adopt the same color scheme, reflecting a kind of calm and harmony as a whole.


    There is a home theater on the first floor that can accommodate fifteen to twenty people. There are luxurious individual seats and sofa-style seats. After turning off the lights, An Feng tried the audio equipment, and the effect was shocking, even better than a movie theater. It is said that this is the top BOSE speaker specially purchased by the former owner.


    There is also a gym of more than 100 square meters on the first floor, which is well-equipped with treadmills, climbing machines, rowing machines, and barbells. He weighed the barbells and lifted them on the bench press a few times. practice. In addition, there are two steel pipes in the corner, behind which are floor-to-ceiling mirrors. The previous owner had real taste.


    An Feng went to every corner and looked through it. Obviously, the design of the house has gone through a lot of effort, but it doesn''t quite suit his personality. He likes youthful fashion, but the current style is a bit like a house lived by an old aristocrat in his 30s or 40s, lacking in liveliness.


    While grading the house, a car horn sounded outside. I went downstairs and walked out of the house to see a two-door Chevrolet pickup parked at the gate. Among the few people who got out of the car, An Feng saw it. , called John or something, who managed the vineyard for the previous owner.


    "Hi!" An Feng greeted.


    "Hello, Mr. Ann!" said an older white man, he was probably in his fifties, with gray hair, wearing a shirt and jeans, and a slightly bulging belly, "Call me Old John, that''s what everyone calls me. When we saw you coming back, we stopped by to have a look."


    "Inside, please." An Feng invited them into the house, "Sorry, I just moved here, so I haven''t prepared anything."


    "Don''t bother." Old John said with a smile, "Mr. An, we wanted to talk to you about hiring Grape employees."


    An Feng sat on the sofa, "Please speak."


    Old John said: "Because the last owner of the garden went bankrupt, most of the employees left, but it happened to be the grape growing season at this time, and no one took care of it. The more than 300 acres of grapes were wasted, and five workers persisted. For three weeks, if the job is not available, they have to find another way."


    An Feng understood half of it, and asked in surprise: "Are they all voluntary?"


    Old John nodded: "After the vineyard went bankrupt, many people couldn''t bear to leave when they saw that the grapes they planted were left unattended."


    An Feng said: "Those unsettled funds, you can count them, I will settle them for you, and those who are willing to stay, I welcome them very much."


    Old John froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mr. An, thank you so much!"


    "It''s okay, tell me how much money is there?" An Feng checked all the female family members of the real estate company. If these people were not there to help, the loss of grapes in the past three weeks would not be small, right?


    "According to the weekly salary of 800 per person, the total is 12,000 U.S. dollars." Old John said.


    "OK." An Feng took out the check book, filled in the amount, tore it off and handed it to Old John.


    Old John took the check, looked at it, and said happily, "Mr. An, you are such a good man!"


    Nice guy? An Feng Khan went first. Several other younger Putao employees also came forward to shake hands and thank them. Originally, they only hoped to stay and continue to work. After all, they did it voluntarily for these three weeks. They did not expect this young rich man to be so forthright, and he would pay the bill without saying a word. Take it to your head.


    An Feng is not stupid, he is not familiar with the place where he was born, so buying people''s hearts is the most important thing, to make a good reputation. And everyone wants to hire good employees. Besides, it''s only tens of thousands of dollars. After he develops the technology of man-made diamonds, the American people will still have to pay for it.


    Looking at their expressions, you can see that money has successfully exchanged a lot of character. An Feng asked: "Old John, do you need to add anything to the vineyard?"


    Old John is very good at it: "Five permanent workers are enough, and about ten more workers are added to the rest. The recruitment of winemakers, wine cellar managers, etc., can be postponed."


    An Feng nodded: "You can do these things, and just report to me when the time comes."


    As these notices were passed on, An Feng''s move naturally won support. In the afternoon, the employees who were about to leave brought their things back. They did not live with An Feng, but a house down the mountain. When An Feng was helping a cowgirl move things, he took a look. The two-story house was not too big or small. Each bedroom had a size of 30 to 40 square meters, with a matching bathroom, and usually ate in the living room. Just provide them with some meat, and there is a small vegetable garden outside with tomatoes and other vegetables.


    Then An Feng and Old John visited the vineyard to learn some basic information. According to him, the planting area of ??more than 300 acres is large-scale, and some well-known wineries in Napa Valley only have about 100 acres, with an annual output of about 20,000 boxes, which is incomparable with Anfeng''s gardens.


    But in terms of brand value, Anfeng is not as good as other wineries. He went into the underground wine cellar and took a look. There were oak barrels neatly arranged inside, but most of them were empty, and there were only more than a thousand bottles of red wine on the wine rack. He opened a bottle and tasted it, and the quality was only average.


    In general, most of the grapes produced are sold to other wineries, and a small part is used for self-brewing. Therefore, this garden can only be called a vineyard rather than a winery. According to Old John, the former owner only used this place as a vacation place, and came here a few times occasionally to play with friends, so he built stables and horse farms behind the house, and raised more than a dozen horses before he went bankrupt.


    An Feng drove a motorcycle around the vineyard. After identifying his territory, he also felt that the previous owner had built this place into a country resort. Needless to say, the mansion on the top of the mountain, the stables and horse farms at the foot of the mountain, the off-road field on the edge, and even There is a badminton court that has not yet been built.


    An Feng is very satisfied with these layouts, and there is a supplementary plan for the unfinished facilities. Didn''t he buy the vineyard just to enjoy life?

 Chapter 7： Car Buying in Los Angeles

    Chapter 7 Los Angeles City Buying a Car


    An Feng''s comfortable life was just about to begin, but he missed one point: he didn''t think about his own food and drink, the kitchen was empty, and the utensils were not complete. Therefore, he ate dinner with his employees, or to put it bluntly, he, the boss, was there for dinner.


    He doesn''t see the outside world at all. He chatted with them all night with Chinese English plus gestures, and gained a lot. The first is that he has to re-learn the native English. Although he has level 4, he really needs to communicate with foreigners... I don''t understand what the other party said.


    Except old John, because talking to him is formal, like a conversation in a college book or a news report. But when talking with several other young people, all kinds of abbreviations, slang, and Internet terms are like An Feng speaking Mandarin, and a sentence of "Nima" immediately killed a foreigner who is learning Chinese.


    With the help of Old John, An Feng posted the recruitment information to the online agency, and offered a high price of 2,000 US dollars a week. Of course, the quality must be guaranteed. He didn��t want to hire a second-rate teacher. I don''t understand. He also added a few conditions, one is that he can speak Chinese; the other is that he lives in the county (county), which is convenient for exchanging customs; the third is that he is a woman, and he is not interested in flirting with a man.


    After continuing to fill my stomach in the morning, I just wanted to clean the house, but I took a broom and stood by the empty swimming pool and looked at the sky lazily. It was almost full of blue sky and white clouds, and the air was very fresh. My mind was always thinking about the convertible. It''s said that in California you have to drive a convertible car, it''s really itchy.


    Jessie, a female worker who just drove back from the city, acted as his driver. The reason why he didn''t drive himself was that he didn''t intend to leave empty-handed on this trip. Of course, Jessie, who drives, has overtime pay and fuel reimbursement, which counts as a fat job. Driving and enjoying the scenery can get bonuses.


    "Thank you, Jessie, it''s troublesome if there are no taxis around here." An Feng sat in the co-pilot and fastened his seat belt.


    "It doesn''t matter. The bus system and taxi industry in small cities are underdeveloped, and you usually have to drive yourself. Where are you going?" Jessie asked.


    He said in slow English: "I want to buy a car, San Francisco or Los Angeles, which one is closer?"


    "It''s all the same. Interstate 5 is about 250 kilometers away. But if you want to buy a car, you''d better go to LA, which is a big city."


    "Then go to LA."


    The distance is not short, but it doesn''t feel boring to chat with people. I learned from Jie Qian that she is younger than An Feng and has been working since graduating from high school. She has a boyfriend who works in a bar in the city. She goes out in the morning to get clothes. of. She also said that she is very satisfied with her current job. After all, her education is not high, and her salary is one-third higher than that of some immigrants, and An Feng also pays for their insurance.


    I heard a lot of things from Jessie, a native American. For example, the United States is not as good as imagined. Immigrant wages are generally very low, especially in California with a large Asian population. Asian workers are paid more than two thousand dollars. A low salary will allow them to work without complaint. This is still the level of legal immigration. If you are a black worker, it is even worse, and you can pay an hourly wage of $5-although the California government requires an hourly wage of at least $10.


    An Feng opened his eyes, but in fact it has nothing to do with him. His account has nearly ten million US dollars, and there are still diamonds with an estimated value of over one hundred million in the bank safe. He came to the United States to be an uncle. The life of being squeezed into the United States and suffering racial discrimination does not belong to him.


    Jessie sent him to Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, which has the title of the most noble residential area in the world, as well as the most upscale commercial street, full of rich people, celebrities and big names. It is most suitable for a big guy like An Feng who has money in his pocket and has nowhere to spend it. He got out of the car, waved goodbye to Jessie, and started to stroll along the street.


    Before departure, he wrote down the address and phone number of the relevant dealer on edmunds (a car website in the United States). The first stop was the Ferrari and Maserati sales center in Beverly Hills. He had already called Express Bank in advance. offered a paid secretary and made an appointment for him.


    Most of the sales of such high-end cars are reserved in advance. Of course, it is not ruled out that some local tyrants walk in on a whim and buy these expensive cars without blinking an eyelid. An Feng went in and reported his name, and was immediately warmly received by a saleswoman.


    "Mr. An, we have various models of Ferrari and Maserati here." The blond saleswoman led An Feng around the showroom.


    "I want a convertible." An Feng said, without introduction, he looked at the 458 convertible and California models in the showroom. He originally wanted to buy a 458, but he encountered two on the road just now, and one was parked in front of the store, which almost became a street car, dispelling his enthusiasm.


    In the end, only California is left, which is called "California" in Chinese. An Feng walked around it, sat on it to feel it himself, and then said in a positive tone: "I want to test drive."


    It is said that the best way to improve a person''s temperament is to give him one million. In the past, when there were only a few thousand yuan in his pocket, unless he was an actor, he really couldn''t. He was as calm and unforgiving as An Feng Say this sentence in denial. The salesman listened without hesitation at all.


    After walking around the city for two laps with the roof open, the female salesperson talked endlessly about the performance. The 4.3-liter V8 engine with 490 horsepower makes it only take 3.8 seconds to accelerate from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers, and the top speed reaches more than 310 kilometers... Can An Feng hear that? He knows English too well, but he knows the configuration.


    Finally turned back, An Feng said: "OK, I need a current car, the red one."


    The salesman smiled.


    An Feng once again experienced the dire capitalist life. In California, the bare car in China was 3.5 million, and the full price was nearly 4 million. The money converted is more than 1.5 million RMB.


    Not to mention receiving God-like hospitality, I also saved more than two million yuan. The 1.5 million yuan to buy a car can only be bought in China, and it is estimated that you can only buy a BMW 7 series, and you may also enjoy the unknowing blacklist treatment... An Feng took the shiny key, started the red horse, and hit the accelerator to blast the street Shopping.


    Luxury stores in Beverly Hills can be seen everywhere. He parked in front of GUCCI, went in and bought a pair of sunglasses, put them on his nose, and when he walked in front of his sports car, a passing blond girl praised "Nice-car" , An Feng sat in the car gracefully, and left with a smile.


    Walked around Beverly Hills, bought a suit and a pair of leather shoes for myself, and found a Vacheron Constantin platinum mechanical watch. After walking out of the mall, my whole personality changed suddenly. The only downside is that it gets a little hot.


    On the way back, An Feng stopped suddenly, took out his mobile phone, and dialed the number of the bank secretary: "Hey, Lei, can you help me get an invitation to McLaren P1?"


    "Please wait a few minutes, Mr. An." The phone secretary said politely.


    An Feng hung up the phone, turned to look at a rare "McLaren" dealership on the side of the road, translated as "McLaren". Today, the three flagship supercars that car fans talk about are: Porsche 918, Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. They are all descended from famous families, collectively known as the Three Gods and Beasts.


    But it is not easy to buy them. Take LaFerrari as an example, there are two roads, with FXX or 599XX models, but these two cars are also extremely rare. The second way is to own at least 5 Ferraris and wait patiently for the invitation before buying this flagship car.


    An Feng also has the mentality of giving it a try, to see how capable the so-called customized service is. Five minutes later, Lei''s call came: "Mr. An, we can get the black car payment from another customer who gave up the car, but you have to pay in one lump sum."


    "No problem." An Feng suppressed his excitement and spoke calmly.


    An Feng was invited in on his own initiative this time. There is no other way. He drove a Ferrari and parked at the door of someone''s house, and was talking on the phone arrogantly. Can he not attract attention?


    There are only MP4-12C and 650S in the exhibition hall, and there is no P1, because it needs to be customized by hand, and it is sold in limited quantities around the world. To buy it, Anfeng not only means paying 1.2 million US dollars, but also needs to wait for at least half a year. It will take a year to drive the car home.


    But he signed the check without hesitation, because the P1 sold for more than 12 million domestically, and it only cost half the price when bought in US dollars.


    When he was sent out respectfully, he understood what the auction house Anthony said that day: "For the rich, America is heaven!"

 Chapter 8： good value tutor

    Chapter 8 Value-for-money tutors


    It was already afternoon when we returned to SLO, An Feng took the time to go to the DMV (Department of Vehicles) to get a license plate. It''s very simple. You can get a license plate with the invoice from the 4S store where the car is sold and the vehicle''s household registration certificate. There is no need for so-called exhaust gas detection or looking at the car. The only downside is the processing speed.


    Overcrowding is a major feature of DMV. I heard about it before I came here. Queuing for one or two hours is fast, and three or four hours is normal. A group of Americans are holding back their patience and waiting, and the speed of civil servants is comparable to that in China. It is no wonder that when it comes to DMV, Americans will have a headache.


    Fortunately, SLO is not like a big city like Los Angeles, and the speed is not bad. California can choose personalized license plates, freely patchwork letter combinations, Snoopy and other cartoon patterns, and it can be processed after delivery of dozens or hundreds of dollars, but it needs to wait for production. An Feng is holding a common card, which wins quickly.


    Then have a full meal at a rare local Chinese restaurant. The taste of Chinese food is a bit wrong, maybe it is to cater to the taste of Americans, the Chinese food here is full of American style.


    During the period, there were a few calls from applicants, but none of them were suitable. Not to mention how many men called him, there were also women, but when the other party talked to An Feng in Cantonese, he realized that he had posted The information in the website is not clear enough, and I have to change it to Mandarin later.


    So the next day, there was still no news in the morning. It stands to reason that 8,000 a month''s salary is a proper middle class in the United States. Isn''t it high enough? Or are the conditions too harsh? An Feng struggled, yesterday there was indeed a teacher who could speak Mandarin with a pure accent, the only thing wrong was the gender.


    Do you want to change it? An Feng decided that he would rather raise his salary than change it.


    I haven''t changed my salary yet, and I called again at noon. Fortunately, this time it''s finally a woman who can speak Mandarin. After a short chat, she decided to come over right away, because she lived very close, only about fifteen minutes by car. An Feng waited for a cup of tea before the doorbell rang.


    He walked through the long cobblestone path in the front garden and came to the gate. He saw a Chevrolet Cruze parked by the gate, and a tall blonde woman walked over, carrying a handbag and a long-sleeved plaid shirt. In jeans and high heels, his height was almost as tall as An Feng''s.


    "Hello, Mr. An?" The other party stretched out his hand, and his voice was better than that on the phone.


    "Hello!" An Feng shook hands with her lightly, "I am An Feng."


    She said generously: "My name is Joanna. Joanna Circe Stanwell. Nice to meet you."


    "Please come inside!" An Feng led her in.


    An Feng sat down and said, "Miss Stanwell, I''m glad you''re on time, but for the convenience of studying, I have to ask you some questions."


    "Excuse me." Joanna said confidently.


    An Feng asked the questions he had prepared in advance, the most important thing was Chinese communication and English translation. Joanna answered the questions fluently. She speaks Chinese very well, but she is not very good at reading. But the English is the Oxford accent of British TV, which is very different from the lazy American English.


    "Last question, have you lived in China?" An Feng asked curiously.


    Joanna nodded: "I have been to Hong Kong several times, because of my mother, she has Chinese ancestry. At home, she taught me Chinese."


    An Feng understands it, no wonder she speaks Chinese with a Hong Kong accent, "The assessment is passed, the relevant contract documents, you should handle it, I am not familiar with these."


    Joanna smiled and said, "No problem."


    With the help of the machine brain, An Feng basically learned English in one go. If he didn''t have the information in his mind, he wouldn''t bother to hire a teacher. But now it��s good. The communication with Joanna is very smooth. We are both young people with many topics. She also understands Chinese, so in the afternoon, An Feng understood the meaning of abbreviations such as ��LOL�� and ��OMG��, and also learned How to see the addresses of Americans from small to large.


    Talking dry, An Feng wanted to find some mineral water but couldn''t find it. Joanna smiled and said: "It seems that you, a rich man, don''t have a good life!"


    An Feng shrugged: "I just moved here, and I heard that you Americans drink water directly from the tap."


    Joanna said solemnly: "Correct me, I''m from England, not an American. Then, the tap water in the United States is well filtered, but I''m not used to drinking it like this."


    She came over to look at An Feng''s refrigerator, and couldn''t laugh or cry: "Oh, boss, what do I see? It''s the first time I''ve seen such a clean refrigerator when I grow up! If you don''t replenish food, I��m afraid it��s too late to send me this week��s salary.��


    An Feng curled his lips, it''s so exaggerated.


    He set off in Joanna''s car.


    Living here, he found that many things had to be relearned. For example, when Joanna was driving, her speed was comparable to that of the surrounding cars, and she did not slow down when crossing a green light. She knew that An Feng had a poor foundation, so she explained while driving: "Driving in California is like this. Both high speed and low speed are limited, but it is more humane. For example, if you saw a sign with a speed limit of 65 miles just now, don''t worry, it''s okay to drive directly to 70. If you drive very slowly, and The surrounding cars are all kept at around 75, be careful, the police are arresting you!"


    (60 miles = 96.56 kilometers, generally 100 kilometers is easy to remember)


    An Feng was puzzled: "Why? The police don''t catch speeders?"


    "You drive too slowly and become a hidden danger in a large group of fast cars, understand?" Joanna said.


    "Oh." An Feng half understood.


    The car parked in the parking lot of a supermarket chain, and Joanna took An Feng to a supermarket in the United States. A shopping cart is a must, and Americans usually buy a large pass, regardless of whether they will be used in the end. The prices of some vegetables and fruits in supermarkets are similar to those in first-tier cities in China, some are cheaper and some are more expensive. It''s just that the wages paid by others are in US dollars, while in China it is in RMB.


    Strolling to the meat section, there are all kinds of meat items. What interests Anfeng is that the price of beef is uneven. The United States is a big beef consumer, and many families cannot do without beef. The price of ordinary beef is about 5 dollars a pound. , but there are also some forty or fifty dollars a pound.


    An Feng looked at Joanna: "Why is there such a big difference?"


    Joanna picked up the most expensive vacuum-packed beef: "This is premium grade beef. American beef is graded, the first grade accounts for 3%, and it is only provided to high-end restaurants, and this kind of beef in my hand It is the second-grade beef, the best quality that can be bought in the supermarket. The average family also eats the fourth-grade beef, intensively breeds it, and feeds it corn flour containing hormones. "


    "Hormones?" An Feng is particularly sensitive to this word, even though this is in the United States, "I''d better choose the best, at least eat with confidence."


    Joanna naturally had no objection. When she saw that An Feng swept away dozens of pounds of special-grade beef without hesitation, she thought of a popular saying on the Internet: The Chinese are coming!


    At the end of the shopping, the original one trolley became two, which were full. It took five or six minutes just to scan the price, and finally the tax was calculated. An Feng is a little unaccustomed to the price and tax, and the tax is included in domestic purchases. Load up the car and go home.


    With the help of Joanna, she sorted the ingredients and stuffed them into the refrigerator. She was busy and asked, "Boss, what do you cook?"


    An Feng looked at the kitchen and muttered in a low voice, "Does braised beef noodles count?"


    "What?" Joanna looked up at him.


    "Nothing." An Feng scratched his head, naturally he would not explain his special skill of instant noodles, "Joanna, what do you cook?"


    Joanna stared at him for three seconds, then gave up and said, "OK, I''ll make you dinner."


    "Thank you so much." An Feng smiled and came to the small bar in the kitchen to sit down, opened a can of beer for himself, and took a sip.


    "British food?" Joanna asked without looking back.


    "NO Dark Cuisine!" An Feng spoke mixed Chinese and English, and shook his head resolutely. British food, like the rigid British, is definitely not delicious in his mind.


    Joanna giggled, "I''ll make you goulash, American style."


    An Feng felt that he shouldn''t be idle, so he ran to the wine cellar to get a bottle of red wine and came back. After waiting for forty minutes, the chef Joanna made the beef stew, poured the sauce on it, and put the two dishes on the table. On the table, An Feng opened the red wine and started eating with the sound of clinking glasses.


    When he ate until his stomach was round and bulging, and he was unwilling to get up while sitting on the sofa, he found that the expensive tutor he hired was worth the money.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 9： Buying Guns in California (Part 1)

    Chapter 9: Buying a Gun in California (Part 1)


    An Feng called the housekeeping service company the next day and asked them to send someone to clean the house, mow the lawn and disinfect the swimming pool. The house had been unused for at least a month, and he didn''t know the hygiene habits of the original owner, so it was better to clean it out of caution.


    Then I called my paid secretary: "Hey, Lei, according to the decoration plan you gave me last night, I''m going to change some furniture, electrical appliances and the sofa in the living room. Yes, I will use the best one, Bill Send it to me. Well, you can start now."


    At nine o''clock, just as Joanna arrived, the housekeeping service called by An Feng also came. They drove a uniformly printed car. There were two cars in total. After getting off the car, someone came to ask An Feng about the specific arrangements. Under Joanna''s translation, An Feng finally expressed his meaning clearly.


    In the empty swimming pool, two workers in one-piece waterproof suits were washing the walls of the swimming pool. Joanna walked around and came back and said, "The location of your swimming pool is really good. You can enjoy the most wonderful scenery in this area while lying down." landscape, and the bezel-less design is awesome!"


    An Feng was proud: "If you like, you can go into the water anytime later."


    Joanna looked at the swimming pool on tiptoe and said, "Thank you, I will if I have the chance."


    An Feng was just a Chinese-style courtesy, but she didn''t expect her to agree very readily. He asked curiously, "Can I ask you a personal question?"


    "Ask." Joanna said.


    "For a beautiful lady like you, didn''t you consider my personal character before applying?"


    Joanna said: "What do you mean? You want to say that you are a middle-aged pervert who is obsessed with sex?"


    "What?" An Feng opened his mouth.


    "Hahaha!" Joanna covered her mouth and smiled softly, "Sorry, I didn''t mean that, you know I just want to catch up with you."


    "Oh, I just want to say this, if you meet that kind of person, don''t you worry?"


    "Follow me!" Joanna turned and walked into the room, went straight to the sofa, picked up her handbag, "I have my own secret weapon."


    Under An Feng''s gaze, she took out a palm-sized pistol and shook it triumphantly.


    "Fuck me." An Feng said a sentence in Chinese, but was deceived by the appearance. Joanna looked delicate, but she didn''t expect to have a gun in her bag.


    Foreign women, fierce!


    "The improved version of the Walther P99 pistol, P99C, fires 9mm bullets, uses a double-row single-entry magazine, and has a capacity of 10 rounds. The length of this gun is less than 14 cm, whether it is placed in a pocket or a handbag No problem. Great choice for a woman who cares about portability."


    An Feng looked enviously at the small gun in her hand. He is also half a military fan. He knew that it was the successor of the pistol used by PPK-007. The pistol on the inside of the thigh is touched, and the scene has a special flavor!


    "Show me!" An Feng said.


    "NO!" Joanna put away the gun with a smile, "Remember, guns are not allowed to be borrowed, unless the relationship between the other party and you is good enough to take the crime for you after the accident! Another point, in In America, women (husbands), cars and money don��t like to borrow money.��


    The envy on An Feng''s face was undisguised.


    Joanna said: "If you like guns, you can buy them."


    "Doesn''t California require a gun license? Where do you go for the test? What for?" An Feng asked.


    "Long guns can be bought with a green card. Oh, you are talking about HSC (hand gun safety certificate), right? Don''t worry, I will give you a tutorial for one hour, and I promise to pass it once."


    An Feng sat across from Joanna and listened carefully.


    Joanna smiled: "Don''t be so serious, it''s easy, let me ask you a question first, have you played with guns before?"


    "A few bullets have been fired at Bayi Bar." An Feng said.


    "Ok?"


    "Ah, the imitation version of AK-47."


    "That would be much easier to explain..."


    Within an hour, An Feng understood it thoroughly. Seeing that he was in an urgent mood, Joanna provided a place and An Feng drove her out because going out to buy a gun was also a form of learning. The city closest to the vineyard is called Paso-Robler. The city is not big, but it has all the internal organs.


    I drove a pickup truck and parked in the parking lot in front of an ordinary store according to Joanna''s instructions. From the outside, I couldn''t recognize that it was actually an American gun store. It was just like an ordinary store. Floor-to-ceiling windows are installed, and there is only an ordinary glass door.


    Push open the door and walk in, suddenly enlightened.


    Dazzling, I really didn��t know where to look at the first glance. The layout is the same as that of a small supermarket, with long guns hanging on the wall and short guns placed in transparent glass cabinets. On the left side are rows of shelves, but the products are all filled with yellow bullets. An Feng happened to see two white men pushing a trolley, putting a box of bullets on the trolley like buying Chinese cabbage. Then leave as if nothing happened to buy the next item.


    The other side is a little more normal, like a clothing store, which sells some outdoor products, military uniforms, military boots and other well-known brands, such as 511, belleville, bates, etc. There were not many customers in the store, and a few staff members in red uniforms were chatting and laughing behind the counter.


    Joanna said: "Just look at what you like, and you can take it to the shooting range behind to play."


    Although An Feng''s English is not very good, he still has the quality of being a military fan. He has long heard that Americans enjoy playing with guns. When he came to the counter, a clerk immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Sir, Which gun do you like? You can take it to the shooting range and try it.��


    An Feng selected some particularly popular ones, long guns such as AR-15, SCAR, G36, Famas, etc., and short ones such as Beretta, SIG, Glock, etc., and the staff brought them to the shooting range behind the store. , put on goggles and headphones, bought a bunch of bullets, and went to the shooting range to test fire one by one.


    Joanna was on the side to guide him on some wrong postures, and soon, An Feng was able to use them freely. Perhaps with the help of the machine brain, his shooting accuracy has been continuously improved. Half an hour ago, he often missed the target.


    "You learn so fast!" Joanna said in surprise, "If I hadn''t seen your clumsy performance half an hour ago, I would definitely think you are a veteran."


    An Feng took a Beretta 92F pistol with an empty warehouse, posed a pose, and said with a smile: "How about this pose? Take a picture for me!"


    Joanna picked up the phone and swiped a few photos for him.


    After playing for more than two hours, it feels like a short while has passed. Joanna next to her also played a few games, but she chose some guns with low recoil. Li looked like she was shooting with one hand, but her hands were sore behind her, so she could only hold the gun pitifully with both hands.


    An Feng returned to the counter and said to the salesperson: "I want a Remington 870 shotgun, and I want to modify it, replace the wooden stock with an engineering plastic tactical stock, and add a rear grip , if you have a red dot sight. And a Colt 1911 pistol in .45 caliber."


    After seeing the salesperson write down the content, An Feng said: "I still want to take the HSC exam."


    The salesperson looked up at him and said, "No problem, please provide your SSN (Social Security Number) for long guns, and for short guns, please wait for half an hour for the HSC exam, we will show you some videos, and then there will be a state The security instructor designated by the Ministry of Justice will conduct the assessment."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 10： Buying Guns in California (Part 2)

    Chapter 10 Buying a Gun in California (Part 2)


    Joanna accompanied An Feng to learn it, mainly legal knowledge. State law stipulates that gun buyers must be citizens (or hold green cards), and the minimum age to legally buy guns is 18 years old, and guns are 21 years old. In addition, gun buyers cannot get the gun immediately, and need to wait an additional ten days.


    In addition, the capacity of the magazine cannot exceed ten rounds, and the gun lock must be used when going out. You cannot buy more than five hundred rounds of ammunition at a time. Offensive weapons and so on.


    For people living in gun-free countries, An Feng doesn��t think this law is too strict, but Joanna said that in some states with loose regulations, such as Texas, buying a gun is really the same as buying cabbage, and you can choose a long gun or a short gun at will It is very easy to get a concealed gun license, and because of the frequent shootings in recent years, the Texas government with many gun owners even encourages college students and teachers to bring guns to class.


    An Feng instantly felt that the Texas cowboy had exploded in his mouth, and made up a picture in his mind: the student and the teacher were holding books in their hands, with hands on their waists, and guns communicating in class...can you stop being so fierce? It is said that the folks in Texas are tough. He has never been there, but it can be seen from their attitude of holding guns.


    An Feng asked: "There is no restriction on magazines in the hometown of cowboys, but automatic ones are also allowed?"


    Joanna replied: "Of course, everything is to prevent Mexico wearing straw hats!"


    Then there is the HSC exam. Generally, there are instructors in gun shops to preside over it. Even if there is only one person, you can take the exam after paying. Joanna told him that there are a total of 30 questions, true or false or multiple-choice questions, at least 23 questions must be answered correctly, in line with safety first, you can pass it by feeling.


    The results of An Feng''s exam came out soon, and he was not ashamed of the fact that all those who come from China are top scholars. He got 29 questions right, and the only thing he got wrong was that he misunderstood the vocabulary in it, and then he went to fill in the He signed a DROS audit registration form and recorded one of his fingerprints.


    Finally, the clerk told him: "If there is no notice after ten days, you can come to pick up the gun."


    "Congratulations!" Joanna said with a smile.


    "There are still ten days left, maybe I haven''t passed." An Feng said modestly.


    "It doesn''t matter, as long as there is no criminal or mental illness record, these ten days are just for the store to tantalize." Joanna said nonchalantly.


    "You''re wrong, ma''am!"


    A serious voice came from behind Joanna. An Feng turned her head. She turned around and saw a potbellied policeman in police uniform walking over. He was wearing a cowboy round-brimmed hat and had a gun on his waist. An Feng was surprised. With his size, whether he can run when catching thieves is a problem.


    "Hi, Mr. Johnson." Joanna greeted with a smile.


    The seriousness on the fat policeman''s face suddenly disappeared. He pressed his hat and nodded to Joanna, then looked at An Feng: "Your boyfriend?"


    "NO!" Joanna shook her head, "My friend, Ann. I brought him here to study law."


    "Hi, I''m the sheriff of Paso-Robles, call me James." The fat policeman stretched out his hand to An Feng, and An Feng held it.


    "Good morning sir!"


    Sheriff, he has heard such names in American dramas, which are usually elected by the county or the residents of the small town, and there are not many people under him, and the small town does not drive around all day to blast and rob banks, three hundred and sixty a year. It is estimated that 300 of the five days are spent at work and drinking tea.


    Of course, it is not ruled out that there will be a sheriff and a blue wave... probably in Hollywood.


    James Johnson put his hands in his belt and said kindly: "I know you. I have a cousin''s child who works in your vineyard. I heard that their old boss went bankrupt. The new Chinese boss is a good man. I didn''t expect that. I met you today."


    An Feng said modestly: "This is what I should do."


    James smiled, and then said seriously: "Joanna''s statement just now is not all correct. In some cases, gun purchases with a green card less than 90 days have been rejected. And a friendly reminder, no matter what the situation , are not allowed to appear around the campus with guns.��


    "Thank you, I see." An Feng nodded seriously.


    Chatted with James for a while. He came to play with guns and invited An Feng to join him, but he rejected the enthusiastic sheriff with the excuse that he had already played softly.


    Joanna said as she walked: "Mr. Johnson is a very nice person. With him around, you can buy a gun. Didn''t you hear him say that you are a ''good guy''?"


    "I know." An Feng said, he was still a little proud of himself. His heroic actions earned him a good reputation, which was helpful for buying a gun.


    Just as An Feng started the car and was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something: "Joanna, I remember just now they said that the bullets are separated and the gun cannot be concealed." He looked at Joanna suspiciously, unless she really had concealment Hold a gun license, otherwise it''s fun.


    Joanna put on a cowboy hat for herself, and said with a smile: "How high do you think the crime rate in the city must be before the police come to check on a beautiful and friendly lady?"


    An Feng shook his head, and then he smiled. Rules are dead, but people are alive. This principle is also applicable in the United States. Be careful next time with a beautiful woman, no one can guarantee that she will be like Joanna, who is cute one second, and can be scary the next second.


    ��


    The pace of life in the small town is slow. I drove around the park and saw many native Americans sitting leisurely on benches reading and chatting in coffee shops. Most of the pickup trucks that passed by occasionally worked in the vineyards. Joanna said that there are probably dozens of grape growers in this area, most of whom are rich. An Feng is right when he thinks about it. He bought a piece of land by himself and spent more than 10 million yuan. Even if other people''s land is smaller, they can sell it for several million yuan. For an annual income of 100,000 yuan, it is considered a good standard for the middle class. They are unquestionably wealthy.


    Joanna also has a vineyard at home, and has established her own brand. Strictly speaking, it should be a winery. An Feng curiously asked her why she was still looking for a job, and she was not surprised at all and said: "My family will pay for my college tuition, but my other expenses are not included."


    "Oh. I thought you had graduated!" In this regard, the way foreigners educate their children is very good. If you want to change it in China, I am afraid that few rich people are willing to let their children who are in school go out to work for others. ? Joanna is twenty-one years old, just the age to go to college.


    "I will graduate at this time next year, and I may continue my MBA study. I think I will end my studies at the age of twenty-four." Joanna said.


    "Major in business administration? You are really good!" An Feng admired. He obtained a master''s degree at the age of 24. In domestic terms, he is a "student master".


    Joanna smiled and said: "Thank you, but I found that the international students from China are the real ones. They can almost study hard for a month. Do you know that every day except eating and sleeping is holding books. God, I dare not Imagine if you would get moldy if you tried to do that."


    An Feng laughed. Although I just met her, it was very easy to chat with her. She knows a lot and is good at teaching people with skills, instead of just applying theories mechanically. An Feng slowed down the speed of the car, and there was a Volkswagen Touareg driving slowly in front of him. An Feng glanced at the opposite lane, and just about to show her his skill of changing lanes and overtaking, Joanna pressed his shoulder: " No, follow him."


    An Feng turned off the turn signal in doubt, and followed the Touareg in front slowly.


    I saw Joanna with a sly smile on her face: "Just wait, there is a good show to watch."


    An Feng followed slowly, Joanna suddenly motioned him to look in the rearview mirror, An Feng found that there was a car behind him, did not overtake, did not honk, and followed An Feng as well. There is no car in the opposite lane, so it is completely possible to pass, but everyone is silently cooperating with the mentality of watching a show.


    After a while, there were five slow-moving cars behind him.


    When the car in front passed an intersection, a police car parked on the side of the road started and chased after it. Its external horn honked a few times to make the white Touareg pull over and guide the rest of the vehicles to pass. An Feng passed by first. He glanced at the innocent VW owner, an Asian face.


    An Feng prayed that he had better be from RB or Korea.


    Joanna turned her head back while looking back: "You see, when the abnormally low speed affects the driving of the car behind, he will have to pay a ticket."


    "Are you always so happy?" An Feng increased the speed of the car. With the scene just now, he didn''t want the guys behind to follow.


    Joanna said: "It can only be seen in this kind of small town where there is no pressure to go to work. Everyone is very tacit, neither honks nor overtakes. In a big city like Los Angeles, there are also very anxious drivers. He will say "F" words, keep honking the horn behind you, or pin you to the side of the road."


    "Interesting." An Feng said with a smile.

 Chapter 11： neighbor who wants to learn kung fu

    Chapter 11 The neighbor who wants to learn Kung Fu


    When I got home, the house was almost cleaned up, and the swimming pool was temporarily left to dry. Anfeng walked around the front and back yards, and was very satisfied with the thoughtful service of the housekeeping company. After cleaning the whole house, it looked brand new and looked comfortable. The only drawback was the fee.


    It costs a thousand dollars just to cut down trees. No wonder people say that American labor is expensive. I used a chainsaw to saw two trees in the backyard. In less than an hour, the thousand dollars was gone. services, he ended up signing a check for four thousand dollars.


    "They are robbing in public!" An Feng sat on the newly bought sofa and sighed.


    Joanna was not surprised at all and said: "If you stay for a long time, you will find that the male owner of every household is very good at these trivial tasks, such as weeding, building Huaping, repairing household appliances, etc., isn''t it? They know a lot, but labor costs are high.��


    "It seems that I will have to study hard in the future." An Feng wrote it down in his notebook.


    Joanna said: "You are so careful."


    "Thank you for the compliment." An Feng learned the self-confidence of Americans, "By the way, apart from cleaning, I think this place is a little cleaner. I also want to raise a dog and buy a few horses. You can also see a 20-acre property below. It''s a waste of a small racecourse to be empty. What''s your suggestion?"


    Joanna thought for a while and said, "I can take you to the city to buy dogs tomorrow. As for raising horses, I have seen the environment in your place. The quality of the sand is average. Fortunately, there are few gravels. It is right to run a horse." The horseshoe damage is small, and it is generally okay, but there is no large horse market nearby."


    It sounds like Joanna is quite professional, but An Feng rarely rides a horse on a formal occasion in China, that is, seeing that there is a stable here, it is just a whim. "You don''t need to be so professional. I just want to buy a few horses for fun. You can also see that the venue here is too small."


    "Oh, in that case, I''ll help you pay attention to the sales information around. Don''t rush to buy a horse." Joanna said.


    The next day An Feng and Joanna set off.


    An Feng was visiting a pet store in the city. He walked around and saw that there were many kinds of pet dogs, but none of them met his standards. What he wanted was a medium-to-large dog. Be smart, the best. It''s a hunting dog, such as a German shepherd, but the only thing here is a second-hand husky.


    An Feng expressed his thoughts to Joanna who was teasing the animal dog. Without saying a word, she took An Feng to Obisburg. This time it was a bit far away, but after arriving, it proved that the hard work was not in vain. The famous hounds are sold, and there are some fierce fighting dogs such as Argentine Dogo and American Pitt.


    An Feng finally chose two pedigreed flat-haired touring hounds, only a few months old, dark, intelligent, calm, and not aggressive. Although they are not suitable for guarding homes, they are strong and easy to train. Able to hunt in fields, forests, etc., good at tracking, etc.


    The store offered a price of two thousand dollars each, and suggested An Feng to train it as a hound, emphasizing that it was not a pet dog that was held in his arms and slept on the bed, and his tone was even reluctant. An Feng said that he wanted to raise them in the vineyard for fighting with mice, and then the two sides traded them readily.


    Taking home two puppies that are easily mistaken for "Black Golden Retriever" in China, and after careful consideration, they were named "Er Tiao" and "Fat Cai", and then suffered merciless contempt from Joanna. She stayed in Hong Kong, I know how to pronounce the Chinese quintessence, so I can hear the vulgarity in it.


    An Feng scratched his head. He really didn''t have much skill in naming names. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally changed them to "Pipi" and "Eggy", both in Chinese and English are easy to pronounce. Joanna listened to it several times. Finally, seeing that he really worked hard, he finally voted for it.


    Both Pippi and Eggy have been weaned, and it is enough to feed them a little dog food. When An Feng has nothing to do, he likes to drive a quad bike, put the two little guys in the hanging frames on the left and right, and drive them at full speed. Running wildly on the dirt road, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, rolling up a cloud of smoke and dust.


    After enough trouble, it is time to inspect your own territory.


    If the area of ??a vineyard is compared to a square, its side length is about 1.2 kilometers, which belongs to the category of "walking is tiring and driving is too fast". All-terrain vehicles just make up for these shortcomings. He occasionally drives along the edge of the vineyard, using a hammer to repair fallen stakes.


    The varieties planted in this garden, including other nearby vineyards, are mostly "Cabernet Sauvignon". He wanted to taste the taste, but the grapes were still too early to ripen. He heard from Old John that even if the Cabernet Sauvignon was ripe, it was not suitable for eating, because it was used to make wine.


    An Feng followed the pace of the workers following the wheel tracks. They usually use a pickup truck or an all-terrain vehicle to drag the mobile toilet when they travel. If not, I can''t imagine running a mile while urinating. An Feng bought two second-hand pickup trucks for the workers afterwards.


    The workers are busy cutting or nursing, and adjusting the direction of the vines. The way of mechanical harvesting in the future will reduce the loss rate of grapes. An Feng followed behind to watch, and asked some questions about fertilizer and water irrigation. Not to mention, the professional background is different, and the question is particularly tricky.


    After finishing this, he went back to the house where the workers lived. The utility room was stacked with agricultural machinery, fertilizers and other items. The land in the front yard was specially reclaimed, and some vegetables were grown, mostly tomatoes. He parked his car and walked into the utility room, and came out with a few bags of fertilizer.


    In addition to enjoying life, he also wants to make some money by the way. Although there are more than 8 million in the bank, which seems a lot, but if it is really consumed, he can''t even afford an airplane. Selling diamonds is a bit of a pain before you know whether it is natural or artificial.


    He put his idea on plant fertilizers. Last time he was rejected in China, he was not discouraged. When he met someone who knew the goods, he would definitely make a lot of money by selling them.


    Jessie, a female worker in the vineyard, drove back to pick up things, and saw An Feng standing under the sun, staring at the bag of fertilizer in his hand, and two black puppies were chasing him, biting his trouser legs, He couldn''t help smiling and asked, "Hey, boss, what are you doing?"


    An Feng saw Jessie in a cowgirl outfit, and thought she should know better than himself, so he walked over and asked, "Do you know how to translate the abbreviations of these ingredients?"


    Jessie took the fertilizer bag and looked at it: "This is for fertilizing tomatoes. It should be a nitrogen and phosphorus compound, right? What are you looking at?"


    "I''m curious." An Feng said with a smile. The cowgirl didn''t believe it, so he had no choice but to say, "Well, I have studied in college before."


    "Oh, you are amazing." Jessie understood, "Boss, I just need you for something."


    "What''s up?"


    Jessie pointed to a road in the vineyard: "Our neighbors, the Bury family want to use this way to pass through, and I just want to talk to you about it."


    An Feng glanced at the car she was driving, and said, "Let''s talk as we walk."


    According to Jessie''s explanation, it turned out that Bury''s convoy had encountered a traffic jam at the other end, because there happened to be a family unloading their goods, and they couldn''t get through. The dirt road of Fengfeng Vineyard, but they are not allowed to trespass without the owner''s permission.


    He meets the Berry family that Jessie spoke of on the edge of the vineyard.


    "Hello, Mark Burry!" The person who greeted him was a white male in his early fifties, dressed in typical denim, plaid shirt, round-brimmed hat and jeans. The other party shook, and then said: "Feng An, nice to meet you!"


    The old cowboy Mark said: "Mr. An, I hope to drive through this road of your vineyard, three cars, two round trips, is that okay?"


    "No problem. Are three cars enough? I can help." An Feng said.


    The old cowboy smiled: "Thank you for your understanding, three cars are enough, because it takes a lot of time to load them! Well, you are not like the owner of the last vineyard, the stingy Yankee, who overemphasized the inviolability of private interests! Old man John says you''re a nice guy, I think you look like a cowboy!"


    An Feng gained the title of "Cowboy".


    He stood by the exit and watched for a while. Three cars pulled some machinery and drove past. It looked like they were going to be used on the farm. An Feng didn''t ask much. After a while, Henry, the old cowboy''s son, came over and greeted him��the young man''s way, bumping his fists.


    "Feng, are you from China?" Henry asked curiously.


    "Yes." An Feng nodded.


    "Do you know Chinese Kung Fu?" Henry asked.


    "Know it a little bit." An Feng saw the curiosity in Henry''s eyes. He learned a little bit of grappling when he was a child, and he took a special course in martial arts in college.


    "COOL!" Henry put on a messy fighting pose, "I like it, Kung Fu! Bruce Lee! ''Suit''!"


    An Feng read it silently several times in his mind before he figured out that the last word means "Master".


    "Suit, can you teach me a little kung fu?" Henry asked.


    "Aha, this..." An Feng scratched his head, what kind of "suit" material was he, and was thinking about how to reject Henry, when there was another voice behind him.


    "I also want to watch Chinese Kung Fu!" This time it was Joanna''s voice, with sunglasses stuck on her nose, walking with a Labrador.


    "Me too!" This voice was spoken by Henry''s sister Mary, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old high school student. Henry glared at her: "Don''t make trouble for me!"


    Under everyone''s expectations, An Feng had no choice but to take them back to his home.


    He recalled the kung fu movies he watched when he was a child, thanks to the machine brain, which extracted the memory and simulated the process, repeating it in his mind like a movie. The martial arts scene will appear.


    Several young people were stunned. After a few seconds, applause followed enthusiastically.


    An Feng accepted the applause of the crowd with a guilty conscience. Fortunately, he has some martial arts background. Otherwise, he would be a sinner through the ages if he would become a monkey and embarrass himself. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then went to guide Henry, who imitated a bit.


    It is still very difficult for foreigners to learn Kung Fu well, because of the different concepts and environments, and because An Feng has no patience to teach, he was very enthusiastic on the first day, but after getting acquainted with each other on the second day, he also used various English abbreviations, and on the third day Just move your fingers, the fourth day, the fifth day...


    Until one day, An Feng downloaded a "Kung Fu Cheats" for Henry.


    After many days of immersion, Henry has learned that the "cheat book" is the culprit that caused the **** storm in the world, just like the Lord of the Rings that appeared in Middle-earth.


    Henry copied the video to the computer, cleaned the room specially, and changed into a Chinese exercise suit bought from Ebay. With excitement, he stared at the screen intently. A melodious, sonorous and powerful voice sounded along with the trumpet playing: the eighth set of national radio gymnastics for middle school students��the times are calling...

 Chapter 12： An Fengs way of making money

    Chapter 12 An Feng��s Way to Make Money


    Accompanied by a brisk alarm, Joanna got up on time. After breakfast, there was still one hour before An Feng''s required work time. The time given by the BOSS was very loose. She would occasionally do some physical exercises, then take a shower, and put on a new suit. Wear a knee-length skirt and choose a hat.


    After doing this, her labrador named "Lily" was almost full. She had a fight with it and tied it on a rope. Seven-year-old Andy ran over, wearing a A baseball glove says, "Hey, Joanna, would you like to play baseball with me?"


    "I still have to go to work." Joanna refused.


    "Just for a while." Andy said pitifully.


    "Can''t you play with your father?" Joanna frowned.


    "He''s not free, mom said I should play with you more, and she also said you are my sister." Andy muttered.


    "No, there is still a back!" Joanna opened the car door, let Lily get in, then got in herself, and drove away without looking back. Andy left behind pouting. After a while, his mother came over. He looked back and complained, "I don''t like my sister."


    Mom half-kneeled on the lawn and helped him tidy up his clothes with a smile: "Maybe she''s just too busy."


    "Are you sure? But I don''t like it, she''s always busy!" Andy imitated Joanna''s British English pronunciation, which made his mother laugh.


    After driving for more than ten minutes, she arrived at An Feng''s house. There was a delivery truck of Federal Logistics parked outside the door. She pushed the door, and Lily jumped out of the car impatiently, got into the yard, and the two The patrol dogs play. Joanna put on her hat, smiled and followed.


    An Feng and several couriers came out of the house and said hello: "Hi, Joanna, you look beautiful today! And good morning!"


    "Good morning," she said, unable to resist adding: "In reverse order!"


    An Feng said with a smile: "OCD, you have to get rid of it!"


    Joanna shook her head: "This has nothing to do with obsessive-compulsive disorder. You speak in reverse order. This is not a good habit!"


    "You can do whatever you want, I''ll do some things first." An Feng left in a hurry. Joanna sat in the living room and glanced at the list on the table. They were all chemicals.


    An Feng came back ten minutes later, holding a cardboard box full of flasks and measuring cylinders in his hand. Joanna asked him, "You bought so many chemical instruments?"


    "Yes, I think it''s time for me to do something serious." An Feng said seriously, "Come with me, I spent a few days renovating the utility room outside."


    Joanna knew about this. After An Feng finally used the "cheat book" to dismiss Henry, who was learning kung fu, he learned online shopping from her and ordered a lot of things. He didn''t know what he was busy with. When she walked into the converted utility room, it was decorated like a laboratory.


    "How is it, isn''t it beautiful?" An Feng asked Joanna to watch it as if asking for credit.


    "You don''t mean it, do you?" Joanna looked curiously at the newly furnished utility room. It was obvious that a lot of effort was put into it, and it looked like a science laboratory. She remembered that a few days ago An Feng said that he was a biologist, a chemist, and a genius in physics theory and so on.


    At the time she thought she was joking, but now she is a little suspicious.


    "Of course, I was well-known when I was in college." An Feng boasted that he didn''t write drafts, and no one would go to his university to verify. Even if someone really asks for proof, it is probably when he has made a big creation. How could those university leaders not know what to do?


    Joanna took a look around and said, "It''s unbelievable!"


    An Feng didn''t do it on a whim. He remodeled this utility room for many purposes, because he was fully confident that he could develop high-efficiency, low-pollution, or even pollution-free fertilizers. Not only that, some technologies that will be excavated in the future will also be tested here.


    He ruled out the domestic plan that Wang Le had shown to those experts called beasts, and subdivided it, such as fertilizer for tomatoes, fertilizer for potatoes, fertilizer for wheat... The machine brain automatically gave the chemical composition ratio plan, The only thing he needs to do is to do it.


    According to his estimate, if it is a fertilizer that is suitable for all plants, he can only charge a patent fee once, but if he is a little clever, let the machine brain subdivide it and mix different ingredients, he can harvest more than a dozen kinds of patents. He thinks he''s **** witty.


    "So you really plan to bring about a big reform to the fertilizer market?" Joanna was admiring and skeptical after hearing An Feng''s bold words.


    An Feng would not say that he "excerpted" the future technology, and no one would believe him. He nodded solemnly: "Look, it won''t take a few years. I guarantee that the fertilizers used in the market will have my patents. Businesses, and even every farmer, have to pay me a patent fee!"


    Joanna was thinking, should she believe it, or should she remain rational?


    Looking at An Feng''s young appearance, it doesn''t look like...but historically, the age at which geniuses make major inventions or discoveries is generally around the age of 20 or 30.


    Seeing that An Feng shook his head again, he said to himself in Chinese: "No, no, the name ''Fertilizer King'' is too rustic."


    "Say what?" Joanna asked.


    "It''s okay." An Feng took off his gloves and made a gesture of invitation, "Shall we go for a walk, Miss Stanwell?"


    "Learned very quickly." Joanna glanced at the time, "But, Mr. An, you have postponed the class time by an hour."


    "What, chatting with me is not class?" An Feng said in surprise.


    "If you want to calculate this way, I don''t mind at all." Joanna said with a smile.


    "You know that I am the best BOSS in the world." An Feng said without any modesty, "Come on, continue to tell me about raising horses."


    Joanna is very good at raising horses. She said that this matter should not be rushed. If you want to find a real good horse, you must be patient. Whether you choose on the Internet or go to the horse market, you need to observe it yourself without exception It does not mean that the descendants of racehorses must be strong.


    It makes a lot of sense. An Feng said that he would ask Joanna to work part-time as his equestrian coach in the future, and Joanna agreed without hesitation. It can be seen that she likes equestrianism very much. After the infection was transmitted to An Feng, he also felt itchy, thinking that California is not in the west, and he must have a cowboy addiction.


    Prior to this, An Feng successfully formulated three kinds of fertilizers. After repeated testing several times, he wrote relevant materials and searched on the website of the US Patent Office. He doesn''t even bother to do it himself if an intermediary can solve it with money.


    Since he came to the United States, he has become lazy. Some trivial matters that he is not interested in are entrusted to others, and it is nothing more than a question of how much money to give. What is the money for? An Feng thinks that the money is for him, he would rather lazily stare for a whole day than run up and down.


    Someone has done the application, but at least refer to its value, An Feng called his secretary: "Lei, I want you to find someone to help me evaluate the patent right."


    "Yes, that''s what it means, the sooner the better."


    An Feng��s patent has not yet been reviewed, but after the evaluation agency received funds, it began to evaluate. According to the needs of the market and the advancement of technology, etc., the accuracy rate is not low, just like the price evaluation at an auction. A week later, An Feng got the evaluation data.


    "After the new fertilizer is put into production, it can conservatively reach an output value of more than one billion US dollars, and the transfer of patents will cost at least three to four million dollars each." , "We ordinary people, I am so happy today! There is another vineyard!"

 Chapter 13： Cowboys cant live without mounts

    Chapter 13 Cowboys can��t live without mounts


    In the evening, An Feng carried a laptop and put it on the kitchen counter, intending to learn how to cook some steaks following the teaching content in the video. Old John came in with a plate, and seeing An Feng wanting to watch the video and staring at the frying pan, he said with a smile, "Hey, boss, look what I brought you?"


    "Roast lamb?" An Feng wiped his hands and took the plate handed over by Old John. The pure charcoal roast lamb, sprinkled with pepper and cumin, exudes a strong fragrance. After taking a bite, it is oily but not greasy , The gravy is delicious, swallowed in the stomach, the mouth is still full of aftertaste. He gave a thumbs up: "Great!"


    Old Yue said: "This is some mutton sent by the old cowboy Mark. We roasted a few. Seeing that Miss Stanwell is not here, I guess you will be hungry."


    He said this, as if he couldn''t cook... An Feng hurriedly went to turn over the burnt steak, well, it was indeed a little off the heat. He finally gave up and ate the mutton with homemade vegetables soaked in water, and asked Old John about the sheep.


    "Free-range lamb?" An Feng asked.


    "The quality of the meat will be better this way." Old John said, "Mark also has a few sheep at home, and occasionally kills one and can eat it for half a month. If you are interested, we can enclose a small piece of land and raise it, and it doesn''t take much Space, usually let a few permanent workers feed some pasture."


    An Feng''s eyes brightened. Anyway, his own land is huge, and the grape planting only takes up about 300 acres. The rest of the land is just enough to raise some cattle and sheep. Lehe, it is commonly known as "local goods" in China, and it is not delicious. up. "Old John, go buy some sheep if you have time."


    Old John smiled and agreed.


    An Feng feels that his vineyard is really wonderful, with sheep and dogs, and he also bears the name of a cowboy. Where can a cowboy not have his own mount?


    The next day I told Joanna about the matter, and she promised to leave immediately.


    Driving a convertible Ferrari, she was running on National Highway 101 in a unique style. Joanna tied her hair up and wore a small coat to look youthful. Listening to her talking about raising horses, she laughed all the way.


    There are not many convertible cars on the road, and Joanna said that most of them are for tourism. "This is not the best route. The section from SLO to Highway 1, which leads directly to Monterey, is the most beautiful road in the United States, surrounded by mountains, full of sea and sky, and lush greenery."


    "I''ve heard about Highway 1, which runs along the coastline the whole way, with the Pacific Ocean on one side and mountains on the other, sounds like a great idea!"


    While chatting, I walked straight all the way, went north from SLO to northern California, followed the directions of the navigator, and entered one of the cities in Santa Clara County. An Feng felt it was very strange. The translation usually gave XX city in XX county, which was different from the expression of XX county in XX city in China. He misunderstood many times.


    Didn��t stay in the city, went out, went around the mountain path, and went ��off-road�� for a few hundred meters before arriving at the racecourse.


    After An Feng stopped the car, he immediately checked whether there was any scratches on his car. There were potholes and repairs on the road just now. Fortunately, it was daytime, and he raised the chassis, but he also drove with fear. If you can''t see clearly at night, the sports car with such a low chassis may have to hang up.


    "It seems that the United States also has a bean curd sea sand project." An Feng muttered and Joanna walked into the racecourse. The boss had been waiting for a long time.


    The horse farm is not big, with more than 40 acres, but the conditions and equipment are very good. There are five standard stables, two racecourses and two horse training fields, and a special hay barn. A variety of knight supplies, very professional.


    Joanna is in charge of talking to the boss, and An Feng plays the role of foil. From his point of view, every horse is very good, tall and beautiful... Besides these, is there anything else? Joanna had tutored him before coming, and they mainly bought warm-blooded horses this time.


    Hot-blooded horses are difficult to tame, and they are mainly used on the track. Cold-blooded horses are hardworking and generally used as farm horses. Warm-blooded horses are hybrids of the two, used for riding, performances, and equestrian sports. Following Joanna, she was not too dirty at all, checking carefully one by one.


    "First of all, check the length and shape relationship between the large structures of the horse''s head, neck, shoulders, back, and limbs. It is good to have a moderate proportion." Joanna taught An Feng on the spot, pointing to one of the black Quarter Horse, "Like this horse, the neck is a little thin."


    "It also depends on the joints of the horse''s body. A compact structure is better. Carefully check the horse''s limbs, joints, hooves, etc., and be careful not to be disqualified or damaged." Joanna said, and eliminated another horse. An Feng felt that Nice horse. If you come to buy it yourself, you will definitely be cheated.


    After Joanna ordered a few horses to choose from, she led the horses for a walk, observed whether there were sports injuries through movements, pressed and pressed various parts of the horses with her hands, observed the reactions, and judged the temperament. After a complete set of professional procedures, even the owner of the racecourse admired it.


    An Feng admired it, but fortunately he brought an expert over. See how you cheat me, a profiteer? After spending a lot of time screening, Joanna''s candidate list came out. Five horses were included in the list. They were of different colors and heights, but they all looked mighty.


    Then his tyrant personality broke out, and he said, "Then buy them all."


    Joanna shook her head straight after hearing this: "No, the batch I selected are all good horses with pedigree certificates, and it is best to have a dedicated owner to take care of them one-on-one. If you choose all at once, the good horses will not get enough care and sports, in the stables it only breeds a bad temper and ruins the talent."


    An Feng didn''t expect to be so particular about it, so he had no choice but to go up to check these horses one by one, they all looked good, and he didn''t know which one to choose. Looking around, he suddenly met a pair of big eyes. Looking closely, it was a bay-colored horse with a big face facing him and a snorting nose.


    An Feng stepped forward, stretched out his hand and gently touched its head, the soft hair brushed across his palm, maybe it was itchy, the horse''s head shook, trying to find something to rub against, An Feng scratched it, smiling Withdrawing his hand, he nodded to Joanna: "This is the one, I think it likes me."


    Joanna looked at it: "A bay-colored Andalusian horse, a rare color, four and a half years old, 165 cm tall, muscular and strong, not bad!"


    Then, An Feng pointed to the remaining horses and said, "Joanna, you can choose one too."


    "Me?" Joanna pointed to herself in surprise.


    "You know that I don''t have this skill. Watching horses depends entirely on feeling. You are better at it. Do me a favor."


    "Then I chose." Joanna immediately fell in love with a brown Arabian horse. An Feng found that she had been in contact with this horse the longest just now, and there was love in her eyes. It was up to her to choose, and it really was it. Looking at the information in the owner''s hand, it is more than five years old, and its father has won good rankings in some small equestrian competitions. Considering its height, it seems to be quite suitable for Joanna.


    The two horses are not cheap, and the parents have good genes. Considering the size of the stables at home, and when family and friends would come to play in the future, he asked Joanna to choose three groomed quarter horses, which cost more than 30,000 yuan.


    After choosing the horse, the cowboy still had to be without equipment, An Feng went to the shop of the racecourse.


    He prefers the Western style, so he chose an exquisite handmade saddle, dark red, with beautiful hand-carved paintings on both sides. Although the price of handicrafts is twice as high as that of ordinary saddles, he thinks it is worth it. I also bought a complete set of high-grade leather bridles, water reins, riding whips, helmets, vests, riding boots and other riding supplies. Finally, the boss also gave me a silver belt buckle, which is western style and has a special feel.


    "Joanna, do you have anything else to add?" An Feng asked the experts around him. Joanna added some items that An Feng hadn''t thought of, such as belts, leggings, and cleaning supplies for the stable. Based on the specifications of five horses, a complete set is not cheap.


    No wonder it is said that equestrianism is an aristocratic sport. In less than half a day, I signed a check for 120,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to half a Ferrari, and this is only an elementary level. I want to raise a purebred racehorse , It is impossible without tens of millions.

 Chapter 14： riding lessons

    Chapter 14 Horsemanship


    I learned from the boss that the delivery will not be arranged until this afternoon at the earliest, so I returned home with Joanna, teased the two naughty dogs, and continued the oral class. At around five o''clock in the afternoon, the other party called and informed me that it was time. When I went out to see, there was indeed a Ford pickup truck pulling the carriage and parked on the side of the road.


    The stables have been cleaned, and the staff brought the five horses into their respective compartments, and told them that they had been fed before they came, and that they could be done a little earlier tomorrow. "It''s getting late, let''s leave it like this for now, and we''ll start training tomorrow." Joanna packed her things and left.


    On the second day, An Feng got up very early, ate a breakfast in a hurry, changed into boots and jeans, put on a long-sleeve plaid shirt, put on a cowboy hat, and added some ornaments to his belt, The bell rang continuously as he walked, and he was so happy that he took a few selfies with his phone in the mirror.


    There was the sound of a car downstairs, probably Joanna was coming, An Feng took his equipment and went downstairs, and when he went out, he saw the transformed Joanna. Unlike An Feng, she wore a completely British equestrian style, with a black knight uniform, the necessary POLO shirt, white breeches, black boots, a helmet and leggings.


    An Feng praised: "It''s amazing! You are so cool!"


    Joanna smiled and said, "Thank you! Let''s go!"


    When the two arrived at the racecourse, there were already knights galloping against the rising sun on horseback. Looking carefully, it turned out that it was Old John who had changed his clothes. He seemed to be a different person riding on the horseback. , driving the well-behaved bay red quarter horse under him in a heroic manner.


    He rode in front of the two of them, the horse under him stopped obediently, and Old John jumped off gracefully.


    "It''s amazing!" An Feng gave him a thumbs up.


    Old John pressed his cowboy hat to greet An Feng, and then said to Joanna: "I haven''t seen such formal British equestrian equipment for a long time."


    Joanna smiled and nodded.


    An Feng can see the difference from their dress. The British style of equestrianism is more particular, with strict steps and clothing requirements, and a tall and straight posture; while the American style is more casual, paying attention to the "wild" flavor of riding, just like the American style of equestrianism. Same attitude towards life. The two are like Ouchi masters and martial arts heroes.


    After chatting for a while, Joanna said, "Let''s feed the horses first."


    They came to the stable, and Joanna taught him how to feed the horses. Basically, they all like to eat carrots, plus corn and pasture, and the amount of attention is almost the same. Since Old John had already fed them in the morning, this step was skipped, and Joanna said, "Let''s give them a name first."


    An Feng looked at his bay-colored Andalusian horse, thought for a while and said, "Let''s call it...Philip."


    Joanna also thought about it: "Then my horse is called Angelina."


    After naming, Joanna asked him again: "Have you ever had experience riding a horse before?"


    "I have ridden, but I haven''t had systematic training." When An Feng was studying in his hometown, he often rode those horses carrying manure, but they were all wild roads, and anyone could climb them and ride them. He was rather bearish back then, played **** "naked" riding games, and even fell a few times.


    "Oh, let''s start over. Follow my prompts."


    "Before assembling the harness, tie the horse well. Use a bridle and a rein to tie the horse. It is best to use a live buckle to tie the horse, so that it is convenient to untie the rein in case of an accident."


    An Feng tied Philip, and watched how Joanna prepared the saddle. She installed the saddle first, and then tightened the girth. Repulsion. Be steady in your movements, and don��t make too many movements that disturb the horse��s thinking.��


    Following how to put the water rein, bit and rein on the horse, Joanna slowed down and her movements were clear. "These horses have all undergone preliminary training, and they are not so resistant to people and harnesses. As long as your movements are standardized, there will be no accidents under normal circumstances."


    "Lead the horse out. You have to stand behind the horse''s head and hold the rein!" Joanna held the rein with her right hand, and Angelina took a few steps forward.


    "Look, a domesticated horse will happily walk alongside you," she said.


    An Feng also led Philip and walked out of the stable slowly.


    "Attention! Before this horse is familiar with you, don''t stand in front and lead it." Joanna reminded seriously.


    An Feng took a step back, he was too particular. He didn''t ride horses like this before. Ye Luzi didn''t pay much attention. Horses have been tamed long ago. Professionally speaking, cold-blooded horses are good at hard work and have a good temper. Horses are good at being ridden by others. Flip up casually, even jump up from behind the buttocks.


    If he dares to do this now, he will probably be kicked off his **** by Philip.


    Joanna said: "For a horse that you are not familiar with, you have to lead it for a while before riding, forward, backward and circle. In fact, they are like a child. You have to get familiar with it before it will Eliminate the strangeness and fear of you. This is an important step in communicating affection."


    Joanna took the horse for a few steps to demonstrate, and then said: "If it doesn''t show too much resistance, you can really ride on the horse."


    After finishing speaking, Joanna put down the stirrup and grabbed the rein with her right hand. She was tall enough to step on the stirrup with her left foot without stepping on the ladder, and turned over and rode on with a beautiful movement. The horse under her was the brown Arabian horse she had chosen. When she turned over and rode on it, it panicked a little.


    Joanna pulled the rein, passed her order, and quickly controlled the restless Angelina. She said, "It''s very docile and very obedient!"


    Joanna looked extremely confident and skilled when she was on horseback. She straightened her body and asked Angelina to walk a few times at a slow walk, then a trot, and finally a run. Within ten minutes of contact, she actually rode a horse to step over a low fence. An Feng watched with applause, beautiful!


    Old John also followed behind with a few beautiful moves. He is very different from Joanna. The Western cowboy rides in a casual style, bending over, lying down, and pulling the revolver crookedly. But when Joanna rides, no matter what No matter how the horse below jumps, her body remains vertical.


    After running a few laps, Joanna said: "These horses have undergone preliminary training, and they are no longer afraid of riding. Try it."


    An Feng approached Philip, adjusted the left and right reins to a suitable length, grabbed the reins with his left hand, and put down the stirrup with his right hand. When he was about to step on it, Joanna reminded: "After it is balanced, step on the stirrup. The toe of the boot is three points deep. One of them will do, and this is done to prevent the horses from suddenly becoming frightened and running away."


    An Feng nodded his head to express his understanding. He was thinking about one third, but in his mind was the funny image of stepping on a stool and jumping on the mane when he was a child, so he couldn''t help laughing out loud. He stepped on the stirrup and turned over to sit on the saddle, but when his right foot was lowered, the boot accidentally rubbed against the horse''s belly.


    Philip didn''t know whether he mistook the order or was frightened. Before An Feng''s right foot could be placed in the stirrup, it sprinted out.


    "Damn it!"


    An Feng almost dropped his hand and fell to the ground. At that moment, he thought of his father''s experience of taming a raw horse when he was young. When he got on the horse and ran or jumped around, the first thing he did was grab the mane. Clamp the horse''s belly with your legs, and then use your hands as a fulcrum to move your buttocks and sit firmly on the saddle.


    After stabilizing his body, An Feng straightened his waist, stepped into the stirrup with his right foot, and pulled the rein in his hand, trying to slow Philip down, but he neighed a few times, and suddenly jumped into the air with his front hooves. Although the movement was not large, it really People on horseback feel like riding a roller coaster. The center of gravity of the whole person drops rapidly, and the body is almost parallel to the ground. If it''s a woman with little strength, it''s likely to have flown out in eight or nine out of ten cases.


    "Damn!" Joanna and Old John hurried to catch up, and Old John even took a pair of lasso, ready to tie the horse''s neck.


    But the troublemaker couldn��t get rid of An Feng with his leap. He clamped his legs around the horse��s belly, grasped the reins tightly, and sat firmly on the horse��s back. Philip jumped around in place, trying to throw him out. An Feng scraped the horse''s belly a few times with the spurs from the heel of his boots. After a couple of jumps, it immediately turned into a gallop. After running a few meters, An Feng pulled the reins to make it turn around. Its head was pulled back, and it took a few steps back unwillingly. , The nose whimpered.


    "Be obedient! Be obedient!" An Feng comforted it. After more than ten seconds of fuss, it finally succumbed when it found that it was still no match for the guy sitting on it.


    "So cute!" An Feng smiled and stroked Philip''s soft mane.


    Joanna and Old John who came here were all surprised. Is this inexperienced?


    "Boss, you have completely tamed it!" Old John smiled and applauded.


    Joanna said: "I''m sorry, I thought these horses were only sold after passing the training."


    "It doesn''t matter." An Feng said indifferently, "This guy is just right for my character, not a bit wild, I can''t find the feeling!"


    Old John said: "Sometimes the place is suddenly changed, and the unfamiliar environment will make the horses overly nervous, which may be the reason for the shock just now."


    Later, he also learned some skills from Old John and Joanna, but without long-term training, it is still difficult to use these skills. At least he can''t be like Joanna who can make a horse less than ten minutes. It can''t go to the hurdles, and it can''t train the horse like a puppy like old John, who goes forward when he is told to go forward, and backs up when he is told to go back. Afterwards he knew that Old John had more than ten years of riding experience.


    No wonder it is so powerful, he asked again: "Which skill is better, you or Joanna?"


    Old John smiled and glanced at Joanna who was teaching Angelina to walk around the barrel in the sand, and said: "I feel that Joanna has received very professional training in formal equestrian performances, dance steps, etc., but apart from these, other Technology needs to be accumulated over time, what do you think?"


    An Feng understands that there are mountains beyond mountains.


    During the day, I spent all my time on horseback. In the evening, I followed Joanna to learn how to wipe and buckle the hooves of the horses. I learned about body brushes, water brushes, long-haired brushes, sweat scrapers, rubber brushes, hoof hooks, hoof oil, etc. Items, and try to use them on horses, as well as bathing it, shoveling horse manure, etc.


    An Feng didn''t master the skills at the beginning, and all his energy was spent in places that shouldn''t be spent. He gasped and asked, "Joanna, did you do this before?"


    Joanna said: "Of course, this can enhance your horse''s affection."


    "Oh, I see."


    It��s not a tiring job for An Feng. Anyway, he is the most idle person in the vineyard. Apart from learning English with Joanna, he just goes horseback riding, walks the dog on horseback, and watches the sun rise from the east. , falling from the west again. The day passed so leisurely.

 Chapter 15： racing with a police officer

    Chapter 15 Drag racing with the police officer


    After the waiting time for picking up the gun passed, An Feng ran to the city.


    Find the gun shop, and as soon as he entered, someone greeted him: "Hey, you are finally here, your gun is already ready!"


    "Thank you, Jerry! I''ve been busy recently and almost forgot!" An Feng said.


    "It doesn''t matter, we will store unclaimed items for a period of time, and then we will call to notify you." Jerry explained with a smile.


    Then we got to the point. The guns were actually assembled in the store. Jerry took out two guns, one long and one short, and put them on the counter for counting.


    "Engineering plastic stock, plus rear non-slip grip, 870 with red dot sight, and this is the .45 caliber 1911 you want. Check it out."


    An Feng picked them up one by one to check.


    Jerry saw that he couldn''t put it down, and smiled and said, "Now go to the shooting range?"


    "Good idea." An Feng couldn''t wait a long time ago. He thought that he could only buy 500 rounds of ammunition when he took it back to play. I chose a few more weapons, bought bullets and tried them slowly later.


    When you play this game, you lose the concept of time, and you become addicted unconsciously. The learning ability of the machine brain is very strong, and it can be turned into instinct after repeated several times. He has been to the gun shop twice before and after, and it only took a few hours for him to go from unfamiliar to proficient. The speed of progress made the staff stunned.


    After three hours of fierce fighting, An Feng, who smelled like gunpowder, left the "battlefield".


    These things can easily cost hundreds or even thousands in China, but here you can find them for less than one hundred dollars, so you don��t have to worry about buying counterfeit products. What made him admire even more was that "MADEIN CHINA" was everywhere. No wonder the group of Americans made a fuss last time, saying that their military uniforms and national flags were all made in China.


    Lock the guns according to the rules, pack the bullets and guns in the bag, and put them in the trunk specially to separate people from guns. The trouble is that it is a bit troublesome, but when the police stop you, if they see a gun within easy reach, the police will charge you with a crime or arrest you on the spot.


    Driving leisurely on the straight road, playing music, blowing the wind, looking at the unchanging blue sky and white clouds, this comfortable life should also be enjoyed by the family. But how to explain the money issue... Could it be that he has won the American lottery? How funny, it''s better to say that patents are sold for money!


    Just thinking about how to explain the origin of the money, there was a sudden "whoosh" beside him, and a black Cadillac CTS passed by him on the left. An Feng subconsciously glanced at his speed, 60 miles per hour , converted to a speed of almost one hundred kilometers per hour.


    "Reincarnation!" An Feng seriously despised, saying that there are only two types of people in the driver''s eyes: rookies who drive slower than him, and idiots who drive faster than him. After all, I am also a Ferrari. Although the racing ability of convertible cars is not strong, it is not easy for everyone to bully, okay��


    With a "whoosh", another car passed by him. An Feng wondered, is it popular today to overtake Ferrari at high speed? He took a closer look and found that the front car was a Victorian Crown painted in black and white, with red and blue flashes on the top of the head. Isn''t this the standard equipment for American police?


    He immediately changed the comfort mode of the Ferrari to the sports mode, stepped on the accelerator, and the sound of the horse in the sports mode was high-pitched and powerful. Car and sports car faster than? It''s not at the same level at all, let alone a high-end sports car like Ferrari, which shortens the distance to the car in front in a few seconds.


    The police car was chasing the Cadillac and was ordered to pull over.


    An Feng kept a distance to enjoy the chase scene ahead, but unfortunately the scene was not exciting enough, it was just one-on-one, not many-on-one like in American blockbusters, and there were also gun battles, explosions, and helicopters dropping spikes.


    The police car kept yelling, ordering the car in front to stop. After several negotiations to no avail, the police car rushed forward and hit the opponent''s car. Unfortunately, the performance of the CTS was not bad.


    An Feng watched with gusto. Suddenly, the police car bumped into the rear of the CTS, but for some reason, it twisted at a critical moment. Maybe it was because the car in front braked. After stopping and twisting, the police car lost control and rushed. When I got to the side of the road, I hit a rock head-on, the hood of the car was crooked, and black smoke came out.


    An Feng hurriedly stepped on the brakes, and the Ferrari stopped steadily on the side of the road. Just as he unbuckled his seat belt and wanted to get out of the car, the door of the police car over there also opened, and the distressed sheriff James moved his fat body and got out. Holding a pistol and a walkie-talkie in his hand, he ran towards An Feng after shouting a few words.


    "Are you okay?" An Feng asked kindly, James opened his co-pilot''s door and sat in, pointing forward, panting angrily: "Catch up, catch up with him!"


    Now let you watch the excitement, it has been requisitioned by the imperial army! An Feng put on his seat belt again, and told James: "Don''t forget the seat belt."


    "It''s okay, run after me!" John was out of breath, obviously he needed to exercise.


    "Sit tight!"


    After An Feng''s voice fell, he stepped on the accelerator, and the Ferrari roared a few times. The high horsepower made the driving stability system not able to handle it. The red horse rushed out. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, and moved the shift paddles behind the steering wheel with his fingers. , The machine brain makes him quick in thinking and quick in response, and his performance is no less than that of a professional driver.


    James felt as if he had been kicked hard, his whole body was tightly pressed against the seat, and the strong push of the sports car accelerated. The back feeling made it even more difficult for him to breathe. He stared at the front with wide eyes, trembling. I put on my seat belt and felt that my body was fixed before my heart calmed down.


    When the engine speed exceeds 7,000 rpm, this fierce horse is really activated. The thick engine roar and the tail sound wave work together, just like a roaring plane galloping close overhead. The sheriff sitting in the co-pilot felt like sitting on the back of a mad cow, a bit regretful.


    It took only 20 seconds for the crazy Cadillac to be bitten. An Feng glanced at the speedometer, and it was already over 200 kilometers per hour.


    James trembled and looked ahead: "Drive carefully!"


    An Feng ignored him, continued to accelerate, and asked, "Stop him or not?"


    "Stop it!" James said out of nowhere.


    "I hope the insurance company is in a good mood these days." An Feng muttered, the car in front suddenly turned sharply at an intersection, and the rear of the swinging car bumped into a small car that was normally waiting for a green light. An Feng slowed down a little, but the roar of the engine indicated that this fierce horse hadn''t played enough.


    "Slow down! Slow down! You''re going to crash!" James held on to the car door with one hand, rubbing his body back. He regretted it and wanted to get out of the car!


    An Feng stepped on the brake lightly, downshifted, and slammed the steering wheel. The speed was still more than 100, but for the Ferrari with exquisite workmanship and excellent performance, passing this corner was a piece of cake. Looking at the CTS close in front of him, James felt that he could hardly breathe.


    An Feng stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel, and the Ferrari moved sideways on the road, ready to overtake.


    Seeing that he wanted to overtake, the other party squeezed over immediately.


    An Feng Yile, it turned out to be a rookie!


    He would not overtake, catch up, turn the steering wheel, the front of the Ferrari bumped into the rear of the other car on the left side, followed by another push, the car in front immediately lost control, swayed to the left, the driver hurriedly tried to turn the steering wheel, It''s a pity that the speed is too fast, and the result of doing so is: overturning.


    This is the common traffic-blocking technique used by American police: Hit the rear of the target vehicle with the front of the car, and the target vehicle will suddenly change direction. If the technique is not good, tragedies such as skidding or overturning will occur. Of course, there are also those who stubbornly change direction and continue to resist.


    But now this one is clearly not.


    An Feng stepped on the brakes, staring at the scene of the overturned car in the rearview mirror. The car roared again before it stopped. The sports car turned 180 degrees in the lane and turned around to catch up.


    Finally stopped in front of the overturned car.


    "Hey, James! It''s your turn!" An Feng reminded the pale James.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 16： Accidentally became famous

    Chapter 16 Accidentally became famous


    In fact, there was no need for James to get out of the car. In the overturned car, the suspect himself was trapped, not to mention that there was a policeman pointing a gun at him. About three minutes later, two reinforcement police cars arrived. The police surrounded the suspect, handcuffed him, and pushed him into the police car to take him to the police station for the festival.


    James couldn''t help asking An Feng if he was a GT driver before, not to mention, even he himself was a little skeptical... He has a long driving experience, but he has never driven as fast as today. At that time, with the assistance of the machine brain , Driving is as easy as playing a game.


    An Feng found a reason to deal with James, and then called the insurance company. The cost of the collision just now was that the right bumper and headlight were broken. It might cost a lot of money to drag it to repair, but you should worry The most important thing is the insurance company... Maybe Anfeng''s insurance premiums will also increase.


    "Don''t worry about your credit record, we will testify for you." James also looked at the front of the sports car. If there is no justification for this kind of car accident, the responsibility will be placed on An Feng, and then a record will be left, which will affect the His credit, future car insurance premiums, etc.


    Of course, assisting the police in arresting is another matter.


    An Feng waited for the insurance company, and after collecting the evidence, he had to go back to the police station with James to make a statement.


    I heard James describe the situation at that time. At that time, he bought donuts in the dessert shop and was about to eat them in the car. He suddenly received a report from the police and was chasing a Cadillac. He overestimated himself, and his unfamiliar skills made him bump his head against a rock.


    After returning to the police station, James introduced An Feng to them like an old friend, and described what happened just now, describing him as an "incredibly rich man", "Iron Man" and other images. An Feng felt that he was not in a solemn police station, but a gathering of old friends, drinking coffee, and bragging with colleagues on the radio.


    It''s no wonder that James has a general belly. There are only 30,000 people in the city, and nothing major happens throughout the year. The police sit leisurely in the office, and most of their attendance is to help people find lost kittens and puppies, and occasionally make cameo appearances Repairman, repairing urban public facilities or something.


    After ?? and other technicians intercepted Anfeng''s car video, everyone was dumbfounded.


    "Feng, can you tell me how you practiced your driving skills?" Curious police officers gathered around An Feng, wanting to hear the description of the person in person.


    When it comes to this, An Feng has something to say. Sitting on the table, from his previous driving experience to the current technology, he excerpted the experience of some famous drivers, and imitated the plots of some Hollywood movies. What he said It was a hype, and everyone was amazed.


    It didn''t take long for him to mingle with the police. The TV station reported the news that night and interviewed the sheriff James Johnson who took the lead. He still held his belly upright and calmly talked about his quick response and the courageous An Feng''s joint pursuit. matter.


    A chasing scene captured by a car recorder is attached at the back. Although it is not as explosive as a Hollywood action movie, it is true.


    As a result, An Feng became famous the next day.


    The city is small, and basically any major event will spread quickly to every corner, not to mention the rare event of catching a thief who is running around and committing crimes. As soon as this incident happened, it not only gave credit to the police, but also publicized the good law and order environment and enthusiastic and brave residents here.


    It was still early in the morning, and An Feng was cleaning the stables with his shirt on and wearing boots. A group of vineyard workers, including Johnson and Jessie, surrounded him and looked at him as if they were meeting An Feng for the first time. Confused, Johnson smiled and said, "Boss, well done!"


    Jessie also said: "You are a hero!"


    An Feng looked down, and said strangely: "I didn''t wear the red underwear outside, did I?"


    Everyone laughed.


    Joanna was not immune either. After she came to work, the first thing she did was to interview An Feng''s thoughts at the time, which made him feel embarrassed. Could it be that she was overtaken by a **** car when she was driving a Ferrari, so she chased after her and abused her back? out of place? It is estimated that as soon as these words are spoken, the image of the hero will collapse instantly.


    I rode a horse in the morning and learned some simple horsemanship. The average temperature in summer in California rarely exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, but it changes a lot. It is still cold in the morning, the sun at noon becomes hot, and it will return to low temperature at night. At noon, they could only withdraw to rest.


    According to Joanna''s suggestion, I went to the city in the afternoon and bought two electric fans, specially for cooling the horses. Because of the "heroic" face, I couldn''t help but chatted with the boss who bought electrical appliances again, talking about yesterday''s feat... After finally getting out, I worked with Joanna for more than an hour, and I was done.


    Philip stared at the turning electric fan with big eyes, and felt cool, so he moved closer. An Feng fed it a freshly washed carrot and stroked its long head. Maybe Philip felt comfortable, so he stretched his head forward. It squeezed directly into An Feng''s arms. He hugged its big head with a smile and scratched it a few times before letting go. Joanna smiled and said, "Look, as long as you treat it with sincerity, it will repay you with sincerity."


    "What a good boy of mine!" An Feng stroked the soft fur on Philip''s body, "In the future, you can train Angelina like you did, let him squat?"


    "That''s not called squatting, it''s called lying on your side." Joanna corrected, "Learn more, as long as you put your heart into it, it will understand your every instruction sooner or later."


    "I''m really looking forward to that day!" An Feng passed another carrot over, "Come, eat more, grow your brain!"


    Go back and continue practicing oral English with Joanna while blowing the air conditioner. After studying for more than ten days, An Feng has made rapid progress. He now speaks with an Oxford accent. It is strange for the workers in the vineyard to be familiar with him. I don��t understand why the BOSS suddenly changed from Chinglish to British. accent.


    He was chatting about a popular British TV series recently, when he heard Pipi and Eggy screaming, An Feng apologized, went out strangely, and saw a Wrangler parked outside the door, and the people who got out of the car Just when he was about to ring the doorbell, An Feng stood at the door and said loudly to the outside: "Come in directly!"


    Neighbor Henry and his sister Mary pushed open the iron gate and walked in. Henry came in and said, "Hey, Suit, I''m watching TV! You are amazing!"


    "I know." An Feng is used to it, "Also, I am not your ''suit''."


    Henry scratched his head and laughed.


    "Mary, is that a toy in your arms?" An Feng looked at the curly-haired Teddy in Mary''s arms. His two dark eyes did not blink. If he didn''t look carefully, he might have mistaken it for a toy. . He reached out to touch it, and it also stretched its head to smell it, then looked at An Feng with disgust.


    "Please! This is my dear, not a toy!" Mary pouted and corrected, and put the Teddy in her arms on the ground. In front of you, smell here, sniff there, hey, hey, just smell it, what are you doing? Still want to mark territory?


    "Bruce Ann!" Henry said as if taking credit after he came in, "Suit, what do you think of this name? You don''t have an English name yet."


    "Jesus." An Feng patted his forehead.


    Joanna smiled when she saw his bitter face: "Yes, you should have an English name, or would you like Henry to call you ''suit'' all the time?"


    "You''re wrong!" Mary said to Henry suddenly, "It''s Bruce von Ann!"


    An Feng was speechless for the second time. Due to the pronunciation of foreigners, "Feng" is usually pronounced as "Von". If he added a German name in front, wouldn''t he become a German nobleman?


    "What do you know!" Henry said unconvinced.


    "You are wrong!" Mary said without giving in.


    "Okay, okay, whatever you want, children, stop making trouble!" An Feng made a gesture of surrender, went to the refrigerator to get a few cans of beer, and threw a few to them.


    Joanna immediately reminded: "Mary is underage, you give her beer?"


    An Feng was taken aback, and Mary took a sip indifferently: "Who cares?"


    Henry got used to it. As soon as he came, the topic turned to the cheats An Feng gave him. He said that he might be a little bit obsessed (Henry took a lot of effort to describe this), watching the movements in the video, no matter how hard he learned Unable to grasp the essentials, I want An Feng to teach it in person.


    "Pfft!" An Feng spat out the beer from his mouth, how could he dance in front of so many people... Middle school students broadcast gymnastics! Also, is this guy Henry short-sighted or greedy? If you show the video to anyone who understands Chinese, they will know something is wrong, right?


    "What''s wrong?" Henry asked strangely.


    "It''s okay." An Feng put down the beer. "Ahem, this, I have to think about this matter first. After all, obsession is a complicated thing, right? Give me a few days, I will find out the way to break it, and then let you know what is true Chinese Kung Fu!"


    Henry believed it was true, and then asked: "Then what you gave me is not real kung fu?"


    An Feng almost wanted to slap himself, telling you to talk too much! He squeezed out a smiling face: "That''s true, but it''s for cultivating...inner strength, and I''ll teach you moves next."


    Before Henry could ask again, An Feng ran away on the pretext of taking care of the livestock.


    At five or six in the afternoon, the scorching sun, which had been mighty all day, was finally going down the mountain. The sun was no longer so hot, and it was time for the horses to exercise. Horses are naturally fond of sports, and taking them for a run every day is good for their physical and mental health, not to mention that people also need to exercise.


    An Feng led Philip out and rode it around the field. Henry and Mary who came out were also very interested and wanted to have fun. Henry skillfully found a set of saddlery, put it on a quarter horse he had chosen, turned over and rode on it, and it still looked good.


    Mary was timid and inexperienced. With the help of Joanna, she carefully stepped on the mat and rode on Angelina''s back. Joanna led her for a distance. After letting go, Mary tried to give Angelina gave the order, and it walked a few steps slowly.


    "Wow, look! It listens to me!"


    Mary cheered, after all, she is young at heart. Without saying a word, she took out the fruit machine on her body and took a few selfies for herself. She chose the best one and posted it on Facebook and Twitter, waiting for everyone''s likes or comments. Envious of the comments. The equestrian sport is not accessible to every household in the United States. It requires a certain amount of land, usually a farm, and the owner of the ranch will raise horses. Or money and silver.


    Later, the old cowboy Mark also came to visit. When he saw a few horses here, he wanted to try it, but what he showed was the real cowboy style. He didn��t need anything or a saddle. The horse turned over and rode on it, and the horse was frightened and ran wildly.


    The old cowboy was not afraid at all. He bowed his waist, grabbed his mane, and his body heaved up and down according to the law. After two laps, nothing happened. The voice came: "Hahaha, this horse has been tamed, it''s not exciting enough!"


    An Feng looked at the old cowboy who was riding naked, and then at Joanna who was playing barrel tumbling on a horse, and found that he was really far behind. But there is motivation only when there is a goal. An Feng despised himself and touched Philip under him: "See those people? Make sure you give me face!"

 Chapter 17： Patents are valuable

    Chapter 17 Patents Are Valuable


    The days ahead are very leisurely. An Feng rides horses every day, inspects his own vineyards, occasionally goes to the city to enjoy gun addiction, and spends hours sweating in the gym after returning home. Joanna''s language teaching is basically completed, and his oral English is almost mastered, and the rest is only habit.


    So by the end of July, the 300 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon planted in the garden have gradually entered the veraison period, and there are still about two months before the ripening period. According to Old John''s experience, it is estimated that the grapes can be picked in October, but Ann Feng''s attention was clearly not focused on the grapes.


    Look at what he has been doing these days: occasionally shoveling the soil, cultivating some plants with experimental fertilizers, recording their growth process, running back and forth in the laboratory, and being busy with agricultural technology research and development in his spare time. But it is not in vain, the patent has been applied for, and currently holds a total of seven patents. In line with the attitude of resolutely not doing errands when others help him, all his sample promotions were handled by others.


    He was wondering why he decided to invest in vineyards in the first place? Maybe it''s because the weather is so good, the sky is so clear, it just makes me want to lie lazily on the sun lounger and bask in the sun, so he''s been getting dark a lot these days. It may also be due to the deep-seated desire for land. In China, small employees only buy a house of a hundred square meters for a lifetime. Unlike now, they are all calculated in acres. A swimming pool in a small house is considered a high-end enjoyment. Not only a swimming pool, but also a small horse farm, a badminton court and an undeveloped off-road field in the backyard.


    It��s amazing to think about it. I dared to take root in the United States with enthusiasm. The originally planned tourism turned into immigrant investment. After leaving the immigration, I don''t know when I will see you again.


    An Feng spread the knowledge dumbfounded. After learning that he still holds a Chinese passport and it will only take a few minutes to return to China, his parents were relieved. Then he nagged him to pay attention to his diet. I heard that people in the United States eat lettuce, and I don��t know if it��s clean...


    At night, I took a laptop to surf the Internet. When I first came here, I was really not used to the operation page in English. Later, I called the after-sales service, and under their guidance, I changed to a multi-language one. I adjusted it to Chinese before I got used to it. Interestingly, the Internet habits are still the same as those in China.


    The home page of the browser is as always a collection of such and such URLs. The commonly used URLs are all in Chinese, and the search results when you click on Du Niang are also in Chinese. In addition to the extremely fast Internet speed, you can access YouTube, Facebook and other major Internet sites. The facts tell him : Now is the era of global interconnection.


    If you want to talk about absolute freedom of speech, An Feng doesn''t believe it. Snowden is still hiding it. If he didn''t expose it, the devil would know what the US government is up to.


    Joanna taught him some skills of using Facebook and Twitter, but he is not very used to using these foreign software, and he spends most of the time at home, and has few friends, and most of the logins are to like. He recently dropped a penguin, ready to catch night owls.


    Seeing the group of universities blinking unexpectedly, I clicked on it strangely. This group is like wives, who have lost their original passion after using it for a long time. Now the conversations are all pictures. An ugly picture with a line of words represents their attitude of chasing young people''s fashion. As he spoke, the red lettering collapsed.


    "Extra! Extra! Announcement of the Spring Festival reunion of the fourth class! Diving party, if you are free or not, give me a head! Report the number to the class leader!"


    This message was sent by the old class leader, An Feng changed the input method and replied: "It''s still half a year before the Spring Festival, what are you talking about, old class?"


    "Isn''t this a reminder to you, some comrades dive too deep, and it takes several months to surface." Lao Ban returned a smile after typing a line.


    Other guys with gray heads have also been resurrected one after another. As a gathering after many years of graduation, it is somewhat worth seeing. While chatting, the old class released a second message: "In addition, brother decided to get married after the Spring Festival party. Arrived, but the red envelope must not be less!"


    "How about I send you 80,000?" Old classmate Wang Le replied.


    "Well, if you really give me 80,000 yuan from the mahjong table, I will accept it too." The old class replied.


    "Hahaha, that''s exactly what I mean!" An Feng also followed the formation.


    The old class said: "Hey, third child, why haven''t I seen you surfing the Internet recently, how are things at work?"


    "I quit my job a long time ago, and it''s not that I don''t have access to the Internet, but the time is wrong with you." An Feng said.


    "Where did you run to that corner, the African savannah?"


    An Feng had just typed a few words, and Wu Chao, the fourth child in the dormitory, said: "I''m sorry, you''re fine, your address shows that it''s the United States, what are you doing there?"


    An Feng replied: "I got a vineyard in California, so I''m busy with some out-of-the-ordinary things every day."


    "Really? Vineyards, so high-end? Did you go to the United States to become a rich man?" The old class flashed back, and the others also followed An Feng, saying that he was not strong enough, not loyal enough, and unexpectedly turned the big guy away without saying a word. Throwing a Pacific Ocean, Diaosi''s counterattack did not prepare them mentally.


    Wang Le took out the picture in An Feng''s space and posted it on the group: "Fuck me, the third child is playing for real, look at this picture, this unlucky kid is pretending to be Putin!"


    The pictures were all uploaded when he was bored to experience the speed of the Internet. Uplink and downlink are as fast, and it can be completed with a click of the mouse. One of them was shirtless, riding on Philip''s back in military trousers and military boots. He looked at the background, it was a horse riding outing with Henry and the others, and he remembered that Joanna took the photo.


    "Damn, there is a guy in this big... leg, so awesome!"


    "Visual inspection is M1911, how dare you let the nail clippers in my hand!"


    "Look at these photos, the blonde girl is so close to take a selfie with Mineko, and she even took two! Tell your buddies, is there any adultery?"


    Everyone used foul language to criticize him. An Feng said that there was no adultery, but everyone agreed that there was a lot of adultery. The price of luxury goods such as handbags and cosmetics in the United States...


    An Feng felt dizzy for a while, and replied in unison: "If you are free, feel free to come. I will take care of the board, lodging and hospitality. I will provide you with a mansion with a garden and swimming pool, a multi-day horseback riding tour under the blue sky and white clouds, and a double or solo flight. As long as my wife agrees, I will do it too. Here is a set for you. PS: Travel expenses are at your own expense."


    Wu Chao, who has always been funny, replied: "No way, the travel expenses are on your own? If you want to go there, don''t you have to consider offering precious young chrysanthemums to pay off the debt?"


    Lesbians also critiqued An Feng''s speech just now. What kind of daughter-in-law agrees?


    As a result, at the end of the chat, everyone was moved. There are many tourist destinations in China, but when it is a holiday, it is not to see the scenery, but to see the people! Eleven is coming soon, and with the addition of annual leave and so on, we can spell out more than ten days of vacation. The West Coast is the first choice for travel, and anyone with a little spare money will be tempted.


    It''s a pity that Lao Ban cried and said in the group that he should remember his red envelope, but was almost ignored.


    Chatting with them until late at night, An Feng couldn''t bear it and went down first, and they were all chatting secretly during working hours, so they disappeared.


    At noon the next day, when An Feng checked the computer, he found several unread emails.


    I used to be used to the reminder setting of Penguin, but now G girl has not figured out how to use it. This login, except for the advertisement, there are several messages from a week ago. Open it one by one. The first few messages are some The rejection information from the agricultural fertilizer company feels that the effect of the fertilizer is a bit exaggerated and is not optimistic. Some big companies are even just a few lines of cold words, An Feng suspects that they didn''t even read them.


    "Uneducated, short-sighted!" An Feng was contemptuous, browsing through each letter with disappointment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, Maxima was finally chosen by Bo Le.


    A company called "Tailan" wanted to talk to An Feng about the transfer of two new fertilizer patents, corn and potatoes. He gently went to Miss Gu, and learned that the company is headquartered in Los Angeles, and its scale is incomparable to those of North American fertilizer giants, but it has a group of loyal users in the west.


    Immediately find the folder and open the reference price given by the evaluation experts a few days ago. If these two patents are to be transferred, at least 8 million is suitable.


    "Sent it!" An Feng was elated.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 18： Encounter at a car show

    Chapter 18 Encounter at the Auto Show


    Anfeng got in touch with Tailan Company by phone, and chatted with a manager of the other party for more than ten minutes, talking about the technology and advantages of new fertilizers, and asked Anfeng for the valuation. He quoted 10 million, but the other party did not immediately express his opinion. He said he wanted to get more information and go back to discuss.


    An Feng sent them the materials he had prepared a long time ago, and he didn��t have to worry about leaking the secrets. The United States has a very strong awareness of intellectual property rights, and he has applied for a patent. The firecrackers came back to set off - because the lawsuit was won.


    After the phone call, An Feng went back to the gym to continue competing with the barbell. Recently, Joanna and his family went to Florida. They talked on the phone yesterday. She said that the vacation was boring. If it wasn��t for the family meeting, she would rather come back to shovel horse manure.


    An Feng also advised her to play for a few more days, let go of her body and mind and go on vacation, and not to be an alternative in the crowd, but he regretted it after only one day. It''s boring to have no one to talk to, and he can''t hold on to the employees of the vineyard Chatting non-stop, the boss can sleep all day long, but the employees have a lot of things to do.


    The weather is sweltering, and outdoor horse riding is not suitable. In the end, I had no choice but to stay indoors and exercise. By the way, I trained Pipi and Eggy on the treadmill. He trained them as excellent hounds. Going to take them hunting.


    California is open for hunting in winter. You only need to apply for a hunting license, and you are allowed to carry a shotgun into the woods to hunt wild animals. There are many types, including deer, antelope, wild boar and even black bear. The two little guys will almost grow up by then, not to mention fighting black bears, at least it will be no problem to catch a rabbit, right?


    After finishing the last set of bench presses, he lay panting and refused to get up. His exercise habit had been maintained since college, and it had indirectly shaped his figure, but the effect was far worse than it is now. Maybe the biopharmaceutical is not just to transform the brain, Also quietly changed his body.


    Looking at myself in the mirror, I don''t have the exaggerated muscles that are about to explode like a bodybuilder, but I am no worse than those Hollywood actors who rely on their body to steal the spotlight. With 181 cm and a weight of more than 86 kg, the limit of the bench press has reached 200 kg, no wonder the recoil is too small when playing with guns in the shooting range recently.


    He did a few bodybuilder poses in front of the mirror, and the phone rang. Seeing that it was Lei, the bank secretary, he wiped off his sweat with a towel, and went to the window to answer. Lei usually brings invitations to charity auctions and fashion conferences. An Feng attended a conference and gained a lot of knowledge.


    This time it is an auto show, but its nature is different from that of Frankfurt, Geneva and other large auto shows. It is an informal exhibition, including collections of private car owners and new cars from manufacturers. The purpose of the manufacturer is naturally to publicize, but private car owners may sign up for the exhibition after washing their cars on a whim.


    An Feng asked for the location and agreed.


    Two days later, I drove out the clean convertible car. According to American thinking, the distance is not measured in units of distance, but in units of time. Fifteen minutes of driving is considered a short distance, and an hour is not far. What''s more, in a place like California, it''s very pleasant to drive in the wind.


    The exhibition is located in Monterey County. An Feng has never been there, but he has heard of the famous Pebble Beach Auto Show, where luxury and classic cars are on display, and there is also a classic car track in the local area. The sports car shuttled between the quiet town and the vast fields, looking at the beautiful scenery all the way, dragging for two hours to arrive, and then followed the GPS to find the venue.


    Because it is an open-air auto show, the style is casual. Many people come in convertible cars along the way, the most common ones are Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro (Bumblebee). Traveling in convertible cars is regarded as the culture of California. Of course, the absolutely indispensable Harley Fleet is also a scenic spot.


    The tourists are dressed similarly to An Feng, with sunglasses, short-sleeved shirts, jeans, and a casual holiday attitude. There are also more casual guys. When An Feng was looking for a parking space, he saw a black Lamborghini parked on the side of the road. The scissor door was pushed open, and a foot in flip-flops stretched out.


    An Feng found a seat and parked the car. A lady who got off the Corvette Z06 sports car next to him smiled at him and said "good afternoon", and An Feng responded with a smile. He found that where rich people gather together, people are very friendly and polite. Even if they don''t know each other, they will smile when they pass by. On the other hand, in a metropolis like Los Angeles, there are mixed people with varying qualities, and it''s not uncommon for people to swear at each other.


    An Feng put the sunglasses in his pocket, and showed his electronic invitation card at the entrance. The auto show is very low-key and there is no publicity. Tourists are roughly divided into two types: rich people like An Feng are invited actively, and the other is tickets for car enthusiasts or magazine reporters.


    Walking with the crowd for a short distance, it feels different from large-scale domestic or foreign auto shows. The exhibition cars are parked on the lawn. Except for a small number of classic cars, in order to prevent scratches, they have set up suggested fences and signs to popularize knowledge. There are no fences and no car models.


    At first glance, this auto show is really shabby, but An Feng likes this environment. He has seen domestic auto shows, which basically sell meat instead of cars. They are vulgar and boring, and ignore the protagonist of "cars". It looks shabby here, but the cars on display are all very old.


    After walking around, rare sports cars emerged one after another, such as the McLaren P1 that he had not yet obtained, and the predecessor of P1 who came to help out, the famous McLaren F1. This silver-gray McLaren was brought by a private owner. Here it is, and despite being over a dozen years old, it''s been very well maintained.


    Ferrari''s exhibition area also brought the third GTO sports car in history: 599GTO, as well as the past and present flagships: Ferrari ENZO and LaFerrari. An Feng took out his mobile phone and took a few pictures. Those taking pictures are divided into two extremes: one is a casual mobile phone party like An Feng, who snaps a few pictures when he sees a beautiful car, and the other is a professional photographer, holding a DSLR, and changing the lens after taking a picture .


    An Feng saw an extremely rare Ferrari: 250GT-California, a classic sports car in the 1960s, and the most expensive Ferrari car series. Among the 250 series models, the highest auction price of GTO reached more than 30 million US dollars. California''s auction There are also 8.9 million, and now it is even higher��because it is constantly appreciating. It is said that the annual increase rate exceeds 15%, which is comparable to real estate!


    Lu met a divine car, and he couldn''t let it go. He took two steps back, intending to show it a mighty profile shot, but suddenly heard an "oh", and accidentally bumped into someone.


    An Feng hurriedly turned around and said, "Oh, sorry, ma''am!"


    "It''s okay, I didn''t notice anyone behind me." The person he accidentally bumped into was a white woman with dyed blond hair. She took a small step back, with no expression of blame on her face, and glanced at the picture An Feng was about to shoot. car, asked casually: "Do you like this car?"


    An Feng nodded: "Well, I think it is more legendary. Well, I also admire the owner of the car for maintaining it so well."


    "Take a picture for me too." The strange woman handed him the camera in her hand.


    "OK." An Feng watched her walk to the front of the car, and gently brushed his hair. His eyes lit up, and he immediately captured those movements.


    "It looks so beautiful!" An Feng returned the camera to her. She looked at a few snapped photos and smiled: "Your reaction is pretty fast!"


    An Feng smiled: "The main reason is that people are good-looking, and the effect of the photos is naturally good."


    "You can talk," she said.


    "Haha, let me ask you a question, are you a car model? I think your movements just now are very natural and professional." An Feng looked at her, tall and tall, wearing a pair of white sneakers and denim shorts, looking youthful, with a top A long-sleeved shirt with a knot at the hem adds a touch of sexiness.


    She smiled and said: "I have worked part-time a few times, but I am not a car model. I am actually a young actress. My name is Jennifer, but my friends call me Jenny."


    An Feng said: "My name is Bruce, hello! You are a star! Nice to meet you!"


    "It''s just a small role that plays a part." She smiled, but An Feng''s words obviously benefited her, and she said, "How about taking a picture of you and the car?"


    An Feng nodded and took a few steps back. Jenny took a few photos of him with her camera. An Feng went over to see the effect and praised: "Not bad."


    "How about we take a group photo?" Jenny asked.


    "Okay." An Feng and Jenny stood together, and she took a selfie with the camera, and then An Feng also changed into her mobile phone. She looked at the effect of the shooting, shook her head and pouted Said: "No, these few photos are not good enough, let''s do it again!"


    She took An Feng''s cell phone, deleted a few unsatisfactory photos, and then returned them to him satisfied: "Here, here are the most beautiful Jenny!"


    An Feng smiled for her child''s heart: "Haha, if you become famous in the future, I will show these photos to my friends. This is the most beautiful Jenny. I am so envious of them!"


    "You''re so funny." Jenny smiled, "Shall we go shopping together?"


    "My honor." An Feng made a gentle gesture of invitation.


    I walked around the exhibition with Jenny who I just met, talked about some knowledge about cars, and then listened to her talk about her own affairs, "I am here to help my friends this time. She is a professional model and will be in the auction in the afternoon. In the middle of the show, I brought a camera here to take a few pictures of her."


    An Feng looked at the time and said, "It''s still early for the auction."


    "Yes, but professional requirements, they have to arrive early, put on makeup, rehearse, and sometimes temporarily modify their standing postures, etc. It''s the same as being an actor, repeating, repeating, and repeating until the most suitable one is captured. The lens, just like our group photo."


    An Feng nodded, agreeing with her opinion.


    Jenny took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "It''s too hot, let''s go to rest for a while, how about a drink?"


    "OK, but I''m not very familiar with this area." An Feng said.


    "I know there is a delicious ice cream shop nearby." When Jenny talked about ice cream, the tiredness on her face disappeared immediately.


    "Lead the way."


    An Feng followed Jenny who described how delicious the ice cream was, admiring that this woman can miraculously overcome fatigue when she thinks of delicious food.


    "It''s a bit far to walk, let''s drive." She said.


    "Drive my car." An Feng led her to the parking lot, asked her to wait outside, and reversed the car by himself.


    Jenny saw a red Ferrari parked beside her, and the driver happened to be the very gentleman Asian just now, and she said in surprise, "Wow, is this your car?"


    An Feng smiled and said, "It doesn''t look like it? Come in."


    Jenny sat in with a face of novelty, kept looking at the car, and praised: "It''s a beautiful car, no wonder you are interested in that car."


    "I think I should thank that classic car, otherwise we wouldn''t have known each other." An Feng turned his head, kicked the accelerator, and the loud sound of the engine echoed on both sides of the street.


    Jenny took out her phone, suddenly frowning, and complained to herself: "It''s too bad, I didn''t wear sunglasses, forget it, let''s take a selfie first."


    An Feng glanced at Jenny who was winking at the camera, and smiled.


    "Here''s one for you too." Jenny tilted her head and leaned over. The camera was aimed at them, and An Feng, who was wearing sunglasses, had to act cool for a second.

 Chapter 19： confident roger

    Chapter 19 Confident Roger


    Under the guidance of Jenny, he drove to a street a few kilometers away from the exhibition area, found an empty parking space and parked on the side of the road. The area, whether it is public security or personnel quality, is very good.


    If it was an area where blacks or Mexicans were concentrated, he really wouldn''t dare to park the car on the side of the road in such a ostentatious way. He probably turned around and came back, and the four wheels would turn into bricks... He and Jenny walked into the place she said In that restaurant that has really good ice cream.


    The waiter gave him an empty seat and sat down. An Feng habitually looked at this trendy restaurant. His first impression was that it was clean. Although there were many people, every seat was clean and bright. Other restaurants he had been to The restaurant is the same, even though it is simple, it is kept clean and hygienic.


    Jenny took the menu and ordered one item, and then recommended several to the hesitant An Feng. After the waiter left, she said with a smile: "Desserts have an irresistible temptation for me. Everywhere I go, I will delve into the delicious ones, and then drag Cathy to eat until my mouth feels numb."


    "Sounds so cute." An Feng said.


    Jenny recalled all over her face: "It happened a long time ago, Cathy was like a sister, she was very accommodating to me, but unfortunately she didn''t have a chance to accompany me out at noon."


    "You have a successful career, you should understand her, maybe she also wants to accompany you out." An Feng said.


    Jenny smiled: "Yes, she has her own dream, and I should wish her to realize it sooner."


    An Feng looked at her: "What about you? Life in Hollywood must be wonderful, right?"


    Jenny shook her head: "The competition is too fierce and there is a lot of pressure."


    "You are so beautiful, I guess the chance must be greater than others." An Feng looked at her. She was young, with a good figure, a sweet smile, and a pair of long legs. If you put on high heels, you are no worse than those who walk the red carpet. The long legs on the Internet The blond stunner with a thin waist, isn''t that what you''re talking about?


    Jenny shook her head: "When all the handsome men and women with dreams in the world are crowded into this place, even the best advantages will become ordinary. There will always be someone who is better than you and better than you. Almost everyone There are conditions for fame, but there is just a lack of opportunity."


    "Have you ever thought about changing your way of life?" An Feng asked.


    She shook her head: "No, this is my wish since I was a child. As an actor, even if I can''t be known everywhere, I will try my best to show myself under the camera. I have been trying for two years, and I am still Young, I believe that there will always be opportunities, as long as I can grasp them."


    "That''s right, I believe you will succeed sooner or later." An Feng wished.


    "Thank you." She smiled, "I said so much about myself, what about you? Where are you from? China, Korea, or RB?"


    "Guess." An Feng took a sip of the ice cream that had just been served on the table. It tasted so good that he couldn''t help but use a spoon to dig another spoonful and bring it to his mouth.


    "Huh, China?" she said.


    "Bingo." An Feng nodded.


    "Because there are the most Chinese people and they are very rich. I can''t see the former, but you fit the latter. I have a high chance of hitting this one." She added with a smile.


    "Smart girl." An Feng laughed.


    She added: "But I think you are very special. If you haven''t met and judged by your accent, I would think you are an old British gentleman who wears a suit all year round and leans on crutches. Your British accent is too authentic." From the pronunciation, it is absolutely impossible to guess that it will be an Asian with a comfortable life."


    "My original accent was not like this, but I had a very good teacher, and she let me correct it." Speaking of this, Joanna''s stubbornness and seriousness came to An Feng''s mind. She was almost obsessive-compulsive and The desire to control asked An Feng to correct his accent.


    "Then your teacher must be great." Jenny said.


    ��Indeed, she inspired me a lot.��


    After enjoying the dessert, I strolled on the street and visited Harley''s store. Not only motorcycles, but also clothes, hats and ornaments, which conveyed Harley''s culture. An Feng saw a shoulder strap made of bullets, wearing it on his body, wearing a half helmet and driving a Harley must be cool.


    I also found various models of car models in a nearby toy store. The styles range from classic cars to sports cars. The workmanship is exquisite, and some are limited editions. Just as Bao couldn''t move his feet, he couldn''t help but also shot.


    Go back before the auction in the afternoon. The number of tourists visiting in the afternoon is more intensive. Even in the weather in August, the tourists are still enthusiastic.


    While continuing to visit the auto show, a voice came from behind An Feng.


    "Hey, An? No, no, Feng?" Hearing the strange name behind him, An Feng turned his head in doubt. Now everyone who knows him calls him Bruce.


    "It''s me! Roger!" A guy in a shirt and cropped pants came up behind him, and he took off his sunglasses, revealing the face he had seen several times.


    "Oh! It''s you! Did we meet in New York?" An Feng suddenly realized, didn''t he meet Anthony and Roger when he came to America for the first time? They facilitated my emigration and gave me a lot of help. Of course, I also paid a lot of money.


    Roger smiled and shook hands with him: "Yes, long time no see, how are you doing recently?"


    "Not bad." An Feng said, introducing Jenny: "This is my friend, Jenny."


    "Hi." Jenny greeted him.


    "Hi, girl!" Roger smiled, "Is there anything you can gain from coming here? There will be a car auction later, do you want to be together?"


    An Feng asked Jenny with his eyes, she nodded, and An Feng said, "Okay, no problem."


    They followed Roger to the entrance of the auction, and a beautiful black-haired Latina beauty stepped forward to hold his arm intimately. The four of them didn''t need any inspection, and they were invited in with Roger''s face. I found the auditorium near the front with the widest view.


    "Wow, this location is really good!" Jenny fiddled with her camera happily.


    An Feng himself has an invitation, but it is not as good as Roger''s position. After sitting down, Roger called the waiter over and brought a glass of champagne, and An Feng casually ordered a glass of martini. Roger took a sip, happily put it on the bracket next to the seat, and said with a smile, "Drink champagne to celebrate in advance!"


    An Feng laughed dumbfounded, I really admire this guy''s self-confidence.


    Roger asked him: "What kind of car do you like? There are some important events tonight. I finally waited for a vacation, just for it."


    An Feng said: "There is nothing on the list that I want. I like the three supercars today. Oh, thanks to your service, I ordered a P1 for me last time."


    "This kind of service is rare, but if you want, I can help you get an invitation for a Porsche 918, and I can also get an advanced order. As for LaFerrari, it is a bit troublesome. Ferrari has too many rules, but there is no way, people The customer base is strong, and its own quality is high, so you don��t need to look at anyone��s face.��


    "Can you get an order for 918?" An Feng confirmed.


    "Of course, Porsche is as proud as ever. Both the P1 and Rafa are limited to three or four hundred units. It dares to make 918 units. It is hard to guarantee that it will repeat the mistakes of the Carrera GT."


    An Feng agrees with him, he has heard of the Carrera GT, and the 918 is its successor. At that time, due to Porsche''s overconfidence, a limited number of 1,500 units were sold. Unfortunately, until the production of this model was discontinued, only 1,270 units were delivered. , What is the difference between the so-called limited and mass production?


    "I have to celebrate this in advance." An Feng picked up the wine glass, smiled and touched Roger. The auction then kicked off.


    The previous auctions were all classic cars, the models were really rare, An Feng only recognized a few models with his eyes wide open, and the prices were not too eye-catching, and some were sold for six to seven hundred thousand. Roger beside him watched calmly until a white and blue sports car appeared.


    Roger said excitedly: "Yes! That''s it! Maserati MC12, I like it, uses the chassis of Ferrari ENZO, superb! Even this model of car can only be driven on the track! But today''s car is an exception, it is Small batches that meet road driving standards."


    "COOL!" An Feng praised, the racing car can legally go on the road, absolutely amazing.


    "The starting price is 1.8 million US dollars, buddy, you are going to bleed." He glanced at the quotation, but it is not difficult for the rich second generation, right?


    Unexpectedly, Roger frowned when he heard this: "I paid a lot of money to buy it��there will be a false idea that I won''t be able to move other cars for a while."


    An Feng didn''t believe it, and Roger said not at all strangely: "Please, I''m not as rich as you, and I have to work hard for half a year to buy a car."


    "I didn''t say I would be able to afford the price, did I?" An Feng said innocently.


    "Hey!" Roger touched him with his arm and smiled all over his face, "But you are my big client, a billionaire, so I don''t believe you!"


    The next step is to compare the price between Roger and others. The price increases are relatively slow, but for a sports car with a lot of room for appreciation, it is still worth investing in. At first glance, Roger seems impulsive, but he compares it to an investment other than a hobby, and he has his own psychological tolerance for the price.


    After a few times of confrontation and price increase, Roger took the bid at a price of 2.6 million without any risk. He hugged An Feng excitedly, and then went to kiss his female companion.


    "Congratulations!"


    "Great!" Roger smiled, "If the other party adds another 100,000, I have no choice but to say goodbye to it, even though it is very likable."


    "Perhaps the other party has reached the limit, and you are more calm." An Feng said.


    "Well said." Roger agreed with An Feng.


    After the show, Jenny went to find her good sister and agreed to meet at the exit. An Feng was taken by Roger to the base camp of the participating dealers, where he met those luxury car exhibitors and handed business cards to each other, but An Feng did not bring a business card. Roger called out his own card.


    It only takes a few minutes, basically just to say hello, leave a name to make him familiar, and when it''s over, Roger takes him away.


    An Feng asked: "Is that all?"


    Roger stopped and said with a smile: "As long as you pay 900,000 US dollars, the problem with the car will be settled. Don''t you want to dance with them and play golf?"


    "NO, NO, that''s not what I meant." An Feng shook his head.


    Roger said: "It''s that simple, it''s not worth spending too much time on them. If it was their boss, I might spend more time."


    He and Roger meet Jenny and her friends at the exit.


    "Hi, this is my friend Bruce, she is my good friend Cathy." Jenny introduced a tall black-haired beauty beside her.


    "Hello!" Cathy greeted with a smile.


    Roger also responded with a smile. He made a suggestion: "How about we go have a drink nearby? I just know that there is a good private club."


    Everyone looked at each other, and there was no opinion.

 Chapter 20： Take the initiative

    Chapter 20 Take the initiative


    Following Roger to an ordinary-looking bar, the men and women gathered at the door caught his attention, and it seemed that they had to be on the reservation list to go in. The car was handed over to the parking officer, and Roger led them forward. When a burly man wanted to stop them, he took out a black card, shook it and was let go.


    Sensing An Feng''s gaze, Roger explained: "This is a private bar club, and some celebrities often appear, so the venue is full. Ordinary people who want to come in can only make an appointment a few days in advance, or become its members. Then One way is to do what I did and get the top card from AmEx.��


    "Centurion?" An Feng took the credit card handed by Roger, weighing it very lightly. It is said that it is made of titanium alloy, and the holder is either rich or expensive.


    "Amex will decide whether to issue it based on the customer''s consumption. It has a minimum consumption, but it has no upper limit of credit limit, huge overdraft, private service, access to top places. I just need to show this card, and they will Unconditional release."


    An Feng asked: "What do you think is the chance that my current one will be invited?"


    Roger thought for a while: "According to your consumption situation, you are our candidate. If you spend a few more large sums, I will guarantee you."


    "Like today?" An Feng asked.


    "Yes, that''s the amount of consumption." Roger said.


    "It''s too simple." An Feng said.


    Roger smiled and said, "I''ve been chatting with you for so long, and this sentence makes me feel like a rich man."


    I found an elegant seat with a sofa, it was still early, and there were not many customers in the bar. An Feng found that apart from the particularly creative decoration and spacious space, there was nothing attractive about it. On the contrary, the girls were in high spirits, chatting about gossip about this bar.


    "Is this normal?" An Feng asked in wonder.


    Holding a champagne glass, Roger shrugged: "Who knows, there are quite a lot of people coming, but for me, it''s just a place for entertainment."


    With this attitude, An Feng thought he still had to learn.


    I chatted with Roger about some interesting topics, and then talked about the girls from the car. From the conversation, I learned that Roger and the Latina female partner he brought had just met for a short time, but this The guy can cuddle and kiss in front of a group of people, which makes An Feng a little uncomfortable.


    It��s not that he doesn��t have this desire, but as a traditional oriental, he is somewhat unaccustomed to changing his mind. After a few glasses of wine, he regained his confidence and let go. Joanna taught me the nonsense He has been working for so long, so he has a little understanding of the habits of foreigners.


    Listening to An Feng''s teasing, Roger said with a smile: "Bruce is the most compatible Chinese I have ever met. Do you know? Other Chinese are either too rigid or have too different concepts. They only immerse themselves in In his own little group. But he''s different, he''s special."


    "To our special Bruce!" Roger stood up and said to everyone.


    They toasted one after another, and An Feng followed. Roger sat down and said: "A few days later, there will be a private jewelry release in Los Angeles, and some of the jewelry will be auctioned for charity. There are people from the business world, political circles, and some celebrities. Are you interested? ?��


    "Also," Roger looked at Jenny with a smile, "ask for a female companion."


    An Feng was taken aback, what kind of eyes does Roger have? As if he and Jenny had an affair, Cathy smiled and said: "I heard that there are often producers, directors and the like, if we can chat a few words, maybe we can get a big chance, Jenny? "


    "Can I?" Jenny looked at An Feng expectantly. Her eyes were big, with light blue pupils, beautiful and moving.


    "As long as you want." An Feng said with a smile.


    "Yeah!" She hugged An Feng happily.


    Roger said: "Bruce, it''s not wrong for you to go there. Getting to know the local wealthy businessmen and congressmen will also be helpful to you under certain circumstances."


    This is to pull yourself to support a certain camp, right? An Feng thought to himself, he doesn''t mind, who doesn''t want to have both money and power? It can be used as a shield at a critical moment, even in a place like the United States, it also pays attention to the relationship-the relationship of Green Franklin.


    Later, they separated separately and exchanged phone numbers with Jenny. The unexpected encounter did not appear. They watched the two girls drive away. Roger who came out touched him with an elbow and said with a smile: "You Why don''t you seize the opportunity, both girls are good."


    "Please, the other party didn''t mean that." An Feng rolled his eyes.


    "Opportunities have always been created by you. As long as you think about it, there is nothing you can''t do. Let me ask you, what do you think of Jenny?"


    "She''s beautiful and cheerful, but we just met, okay?"


    "Who cares? Do you see that I''ve thought about it? It''s okay��even if it''s just for one night!" Roger laughed. "Who stipulates that we have to be boyfriend and girlfriend in the end? My shy oriental friend, Let go and enjoy your beautiful rich life!"


    After finishing speaking, Roger staggered into a stretched Lincoln on the side of the road with his arms around the two beauties, and said goodbye to him with a winner''s smile.


    "Damn! No loyalty!" An Feng said contemptuously, took out his mobile phone, and found himself a driver.


    ��


    After waking up the next day, I received a call from Tailan Company.


    The other party considered the actual situation and suggested that Anfeng''s two patent rights should be valued at 8 million shares in the company, occupying 30% of the shares. As for the sale that Anfeng hopes to sell, they are not very interested, or they do not have this ability, and the company''s development will suffer. To the core technology bottleneck.


    An Feng didn''t agree immediately, he needed to think about it. When I opened the mailbox, there was a reply from another company. I dialed the number and chatted for another ten minutes. They wanted to buy it, but the price was not high. Four million was their limit, because Anfeng could not guarantee the actual effect.


    An Feng declined. He believed that his patent far exceeded this value.


    He has been thinking about this matter all morning. Currently, there are only two companies he is interested in. The price given by one is satisfactory to him, but it can only be exchanged for dry shares. It''s less than half, the price is too low, and he doesn''t want to sell it cheaply.


    This step was not as smooth as he expected.


    "Damn, what do you think of high technology? A pending special offer?" An Feng rolled on the bed depressed, "Stupid earthlings!"


    After complaining for a long time, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed.


    Since I am not satisfied with the two options, why do I have to accept them passively instead of taking the initiative? Tailan Company was very interested, but it was a pity that they could not get funds. He learned that Tailan''s reputation and service were good, but the competitiveness of its core products was not enough, and it was weakening day by day.


    So An Feng''s technology is crucial to their comeback.


    What if I invest in a few more patents and increase the shareholding ratio to 51%, or even a higher holding?


    After taking control, let the company develop according to its own ideas and change from passive to active. Then this batch of advanced technologies from the future will surely be carried forward?


    "You are such a genius!" An Feng jumped up excitedly, "Yes, yes! But I have to ask Lei to find me an analyst or personal assistant."


    The inconsistency between An Feng''s thoughts and actions is rooted in one word: lazy.


    Since he has a lot of money, he first thinks of enjoyment in doing things. In addition to what he is interested in, he can find someone to do it for others. He is only responsible for paying for the hire. It is a kind of hands-off shopkeeper spirit: a few phone calls for business and private matters, and the secretary arranges them.


    Throwing away the phone, he heaved a long sigh of relief, leaving the troublesome things to someone who is good at it. He just needs the final solution, nodding or shaking his head.

 Chapter 21： shopping with big yangma

    Chapter 21 Shopping with Dayan Horses


    The sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing. An Feng lay lazily by the pool, looking at the lush vineyards, drinking a sip of cold beer from time to time.


    "Excellent!" An Feng looked up at the sky, "I won''t trade this kind of life with me!"


    The phone on the shore rang for a long time before An Feng lazily swam to the pool, stretched out his hand to touch the phone on the deck chair, the phone had stopped when he got it, he glanced at the number, leaned back against the pool, and redialed Past: "Hi Jenny! Just wanted to take your call, how are you doing today?"


    Jenny said: "It''s not bad. I''m thinking about what clothes to prepare for the press conference, how about you?"


    "Stop! Don''t come down!"


    An Feng pushed away Pipi and Dandan who were about to jump down to play in the water, and pointed at them, with the expression on his face saying that it was wrong to do so.


    The two little guys wagged their tails pitifully and looked at him.


    "What are you doing?" Jenny heard what An Feng said.


    An Feng brought the phone to his ear again: "Sorry, I''m in the swimming pool, and two little guys want to jump down. Sit down for me! Haha, they are two very naughty hounds."


    "How old are they, aren''t they cute? I envy you!" Jenny said.


    An Feng said with a smile: "It''s almost six months. If you want to come over, I welcome it."


    "Okay, but not now. I want to find someone to go shopping with me, but Cathy is busy today, so I can only see if other friends are free."


    "I also think it''s quite boring, why don''t we go together?" An Feng suggested.


    "Okay, where are you?" Jenny said happily.


    "I''m in SLO, a little far away from you, I should go there, what do you think? I just want to find someone who is familiar with the environment to go shopping in Los Angeles."


    Jenny reported an address and said, "Wait for you."


    An Feng climbed ashore, dried his wet body with a towel, led the two naughty ghosts back to the house, and rummaged through the clothes in the closet. Except for two suits, most of them were shirts and jeans. He didn''t buy clothes like women. I usually choose a set that is pleasing to the eye, but after going back and forth a few times, it piles up in a pile, and some of them in the closet have not even torn off the labels. I didn''t choose much, so I changed it when I looked in the mirror and it looked right.


    Move the car out of the garage and drive towards Los Angeles.


    Following the GPS navigation prompts, I came to an apartment building. I am afraid that the six or seven-story residences in China can only be seen in urban areas, which is relatively rare. High-rise buildings in the United States are generally office buildings, crowded with people during the day, and deserted at night after everyone gets off work.


    I stopped by the side of the road to call Jenny, and she came down soon after. She was wearing a light blue shirt, light gray jeans, and a pair of flat boots. Standing in front of An Feng, the girl next door is just like her.


    "You are so beautiful!" An Feng praised.


    "Thank you." Jenny smiled, although what the man said was largely a courtesy.


    An Feng opened the car door for her in a gentlemanly manner, asked her to sit in, then got in the car, started the car, and turned his face slightly towards her: "Where do we start?"


    Jenny asked, "Where have you been?"


    "Basically, I didn''t look at it carefully. I drove by a few times and took a rough look. I was in a hurry."


    Jenny nodded slightly after hearing this: "Then you can go to many places, Universal Studios, Hollywood Boulevard is enough for us to go shopping for a day."


    "Universal Studios? I''ve heard of it."


    "But it''s afternoon now, and one day''s shopping is usually enough. Of course, if you just want to take a look, it''s fine." Jenny said.


    An Feng stopped in front of an intersection, and while waiting for pedestrians to pass by, he said, "Actually, I just want to talk to someone, it''s too boring to stay here."


    "And you found me?" Jenny asked.


    An Feng glanced at her, nodded and said: "Yes, I think you are a lively, very relaxing and happy girl. I thought of you right away."


    "I really like hearing what you say, and I feel very attractive." Jenny said with a smile.


    Due to lack of time, they didn''t go to Universal Studios, and the chattering Jenny took him around the lively places in Los Angeles, wandering around Sunset Boulevard, Rodeo Drive and other places, all kinds of fashionable clothing stores, delicious restaurants There are countless restaurants and cafes.


    I heard from Jenny that there is a high probability of "star hitting" here, and no one can guarantee that a certain big brand will come shopping on a whim, so there are many people. The products in the shops along the street represent the trend and fashion trend of the United States. Walking on the street In the last lap, I gained a lot, but Jenny still didn''t get her favorite dress.


    An Feng carefully discovered that Jenny has a wide range of choices, and she is not limited to a certain brand store, and sometimes some inconspicuous small commodities can make her love it. He has been following her, watching Jenny like a butterfly lost in the flowers, floating happily around.


    Following her stop and go, entering a crowded street, when large light red five-pointed stars appeared on the ground, An Feng realized that this was the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame. The names of artists were written on the five-pointed stars all over the sidewalk. He looked for a few, but unfortunately he didn''t recognize them.


    Looking around again, there are people coming and going on the street, and there are also some tourists who look down and count the stars, bored and want to find their favorite celebrities. But the narrow "Avenue" is a bit of a misnomer, with narrow lanes and close proximity to sidewalks and sidewalks.


    After taking a few group photos, An Feng was attracted by the guys on the road dressed up as various film and television characters. They took the initiative to ask passers-by to take a group photo, but they needed to pay a few dollars for tips after taking the photo. An Feng had a lot of five-dollar bills in his pocket, and he asked someone to take a lot of them.


    This also made some cosplayers around come together, trying to take advantage of An Feng. Jenny took a picture of him and Captain Jack with the camera, and suddenly a spiderman''s crooked head came over, and it clicked and stayed in the picture. An Feng gave two tips dumbfounded.


    However, there are not many people who like to take pictures, that is, tourists or foreigners like Anfeng are interested, and other local people just pass by and ignore it. Wearing heavy costumes in such a sweltering heat, I don''t know how much money I can make, but there are quite a lot of performers on the road.


    Walking around until more than six o''clock in the afternoon, both of them were hungry. An Feng didn''t want to eat American fast food, so he said, "Shall we go to the nearby French restaurant, or Italy?"


    Unexpectedly, Jenny shook her head: "I want to try Chinese food, and I want authentic ones, because my friend said that Chinese food in Los Angeles caters to Western tastes."


    "You want to eat Chinese food? Then Chinatown, but I have never been there before, so I don''t guarantee that it is authentic. I hope they see my face and let the chef serve real food."


    "Definitely. Teach me a sentence of Chinese, let the boss know that we have cards." Jenny said.


    An Feng taught her a few greetings in Chinese casually, but she didn��t learn very well. Fortunately, Jenny didn��t insist on it, and she was very happy when she mastered a few sentences. He chose the nearest Chinatown in the car navigation, and not long after he drove out, An Feng encountered a traffic jam for the first time in the United States.


    "Oh! There''s actually a traffic jam!" An Feng looked around in surprise. The quality of the drivers is generally good... at least they didn''t let the speakers connect together.


    "It''s normal at this time, and this place is the most congested in the United States." Jenny said without any surprise, "There was a statistic before, the population of the greater Los Angeles area was more than 10 million, and the number of cars was more than 10 million. Chehe. Those who drive convertibles will suffer!"


    "But I think the weather here is still suitable for going out?" An Feng closed the carport and looked up at the blue sky. The exhaust gas is indeed thicker than indoors, but even with such a large number of cars, there is still no need to wear a mask to go out. The root of the car is by no means only in the car.


    Jenny said: "The air is still barely there. There have been several serious photochemical smog incidents in LA. The main reason is the emission of automobile exhaust. Later, the state government has stepped up management efforts and worked **** automobiles and gasoline. In recent years, it has The pollution is gone, but the air is incomparable to that of the suburbs.��


    An Feng was injured by an arrow. He decided not to discuss this with Lao Mei. There is no comparison. The number of cars in domestic metropolises is less than half of that here. The bricks and beasts are all clamoring that the bad air is caused by the cars, maybe It''s time to take them here for a stroll, and talk a little bit after returning home.


    After being stuck in a traffic jam for a short period of time, An Feng came to Chinatown smoothly. An Feng saw a sign on a storefront saying in Chinese: Hot Pot Malatang, Authentic Yunnan Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles.


    After eating lettuce for a long time, An Feng almost had tears in his eyes when he saw these familiar food terms. When it comes to the rich variety of food, our Chinese nation ranks first.


    Find a vacant parking space and walk into the restaurant with Jenny.


    As soon as he sat down, an Asian waiter came over. He glanced at An Feng and handed him the menu.


    "Jenny, what do you like to eat?" An Feng asked while looking at the menu.


    "I don''t know, I want something non-greasy." Jenny said.


    Can Chinese food not be greasy? An Feng flipped through the menu, finally ordered two cross-bridge rice noodles, and casually asked the waiter, "Do you come from China?"


    "Yes." The waiter said with a little Cantonese accent.


    An Feng nodded: "Oh, tell the master to come to the authentic ones, don''t make those things that lie to foreigners for us to eat. And this lady''s ones should be less oily."


    "A certain question, brother, Chinese people often ask for this." The waiter smiled and took the menu and left.


    After the waiter left, seeing Jenny looking at the corner of the restaurant, An Feng also turned his head to look curiously, and saw four old men sitting at a table, a few Caucasians were sweating on their foreheads, breathing in their mouths, enjoying themselves Almost eat hot pot. An Feng feels that the world view has been subverted. Foreigners are really awesome, and they eat hot pot in summer.


    "Do you want to try?" An Feng asked her.


    "No, no, no." Jenny kept shaking her head, "Many people''s chopsticks stuck into the pot together, it''s not clean."


    An Feng fainted, but you also eat lettuce salad, you have never washed your hands before eating.


    Transferring the issue of whether the chopsticks are not clean when scooping up the hot pot, An Feng taught her how to use the chopsticks, but Dayangma still didn''t learn how to use them until the rice noodle table.


    "Wow, it''s spaghetti soaked in water!" Jenny looked at the rice noodles in the casserole with a "sudden realization".


    An Feng''s chopsticks stopped in the air, his face covered with black lines.

 Chapter 22： into the water

    Chapter 22 Falling into the Water


    Early the next morning, when An Feng was still lazily lying on bed, Jenny had already got up, and even he was not spared, she sat on the bed rubbing her sleepy eyes, and asked puzzledly: " Why do you get up so early?"


    "It''s already nine o''clock, and I still have things to do today." Jenny was looking for clothes in front of the closet naked, leaving An Feng with a charming back.


    An Feng jumped out of bed, found the clothes thrown away last night on the ground, put on a pair of pants, and couldn''t help but slapped her ass: "Put the clothes on quickly, I can''t concentrate like this." Thinking of yesterday''s In the scene at night, he recalled a sentence: There are no plowed fields, only exhausted cattle.


    Jenny turned around and put her arms around An Feng''s neck, and kissed him with her face up: "Is my superman still unwilling to surrender?"


    "I''m raising the white flag!" An Feng hugged her around in a circle, and then went to the closet to help her choose a dress, "Come on, this one looks good on you."


    After An Feng gave her the clothes, he said, "I''ll go out and see what I can make for breakfast."


    "You are so sweet." Jenny said with a smile while putting on her clothes.


    An Fengchi went out with his upper body up, looked around the kitchen for a while, found a big bottle of milk, and took some bread slices and ham sausages, when the door opened, he looked up and saw Jenny next door The door of the room opened, and Cathy, who came out, met his eyes.


    An Feng froze for a moment, and said awkwardly: "Hi, this, hello."


    Cathy leaned against the wall with her arms folded, and said with a smile, "Hey, Superman! Give me a breakfast too, I''m so sleepy now, it''s all your fault for not sleeping well last night."


    It turned out that there were people next door. Thinking of the movement I made last night, I suddenly felt a fever on my face.


    Jenny came out of the room when she heard the voice, and when she saw Cathy, she asked strangely, "Didn''t you say you were going to a party? When did you come back?"


    "The party is too boring, come back at two or three o''clock in the evening, I heard you and Superman... I fell asleep quietly." Cathy winked at Jenny understandingly.


    Jenny joked with Cathy generously. An Feng was still a little unaccustomed to talking about open topics in public. He made three breakfasts and took Jenny away after a simple meal. Jenny said that she wanted to go to the farmer''s market and buy some fresh fruit. An Feng followed her instructions and drove there.


    The huge parking lot was full of people. After finally parking the car, Jenny and Jenny walked to a low-rise building complex and opened their eyes. They saw crowds of people on the narrow pedestrian street, with tables and sunshade fans in the middle, along the two sides of the street. There are stalls full of fruits, vegetables, and snacks.


    All kinds of snacks, fresh goods, dizzying. After walking around, I found that the market is divided into fruit, vegetable, flower and other areas. A long-lost sense of familiarity, like going to the market in my hometown.


    Jenny turned around and said, "Isn''t it interesting? Even if you don''t sell anything, you will be happy after shopping around. Moreover, the vegetables and fruits here are the freshest, and they have just been picked. Sometimes the merchants also launch some tasting activities. Eat from one end to the other, and leave full."


    An Feng smiled and asked her: "Have you done this before?"


    Jenny smiled slyly, and took his hand to pick the fruit.


    Later, I drank a cup of coffee with Jenny and continued to go shopping with her. One day before the press conference, she still hasn''t found a satisfactory dress. In order to avoid the recurrence of the scene where she almost broke her leg yesterday, An Feng took her to Beverly Hills and arrived at a most famous department store.


    Walking down from one brand store to another, she tried a lot of dresses. Jenny likes it or not, but she said it will cost her a lot of savings. An Feng knows that Americans are used to the AA system. It''s like asking friends out for dinner. When paying the bill, everyone usually pays separately, and so do male and female friends. Seeing that she really liked it, An Feng said it was a gift from him, and Jenny agreed after thinking about it, and added some jewelry to her later.


    While paying the bill, An Feng''s cell phone vibrated, and he walked aside to answer the call. It was Lei who called, and he said that he had sent the personal assistant''s information.


    Hung up the phone and said to Jenny who was planning to go to the next stop for sightseeing: "Sorry, I''m afraid I have to go back, there are still some things to deal with."


    Jenny came over and hugged An Feng''s arm: "Okay, I''ll go back with you."


    "Welcome." An Feng took her to the parking lot, packed the big and small bags in the trunk, and then opened the door for her himself, inviting her to get in the car like a big card. Jenny wore sunglasses on her nose and a round-brimmed hat, a youthful outfit that caught the snap of cameras.


    "Oh!" She was sitting in the car with her mouth slightly open, "Did someone take pictures of me just now?"


    An Feng started the car, smiled and said, "What do you think? I guess it''s about to expose the stars! How do you feel, my big star Miss Kelso?"


    "I''m a little excited, I didn''t pose properly just now." Jenny said jokingly.


    "Ahem, you still need to practice more, you have to get used to flashlights." An Feng said solemnly, the car backed up, and deliberately slammed the accelerator a few times, causing the cameras on the side of the road to ring again. The paparazzi are guessing who she is.


    After more than two hours of fast driving home, when the car drove up the winding mountain road, Jenny looked at Anfeng''s exaggerated hilltop mansion in surprise, and said enviously: "I have seen too many mansions in Beverly Hills, and then I see yours. , I found that the people who really enjoy it are hiding here."


    After hearing her words, An Feng said with a smile: "How can my place compare to the most prestigious residential area in the world? Any house of celebrities and big names is more expensive than mine, and I also brought more than 300 acres of land with me. It''s even worse on average. But you''re right about the enjoyment."


    After getting off the car, An Feng walked in front and made a gesture of please.


    Jenny stood in the living room, looked up and looked around, and boasted: "What a beautiful house."


    Pippi and Dandan ran over to sniff the new guy.


    "Hi!" Jenny squatted down and teased the two half-grown hounds. An Feng checked their food bowls, and there was still some left. It seemed that Old John had fed them well last night. Putting down the luggage, I heard Jenny cheering from the backyard: "Honey, your swimming pool is really great!"


    An Feng unbuttoned his shirt a few times, pushed open the French windows in the backyard, and saw Jenny walking barefoot on the steps of the swimming pool. The cool water overflowed her ankles. She took a few steps and then ran back. An Feng He hugged her bouncing around, smiled and said, "If you like you, go down."


    "But I didn''t bring a bikini." She pouted and blamed, "Who made you come in such a hurry."


    "Ah, is it my fault?" An Feng didn''t know whether to laugh or cry, "Well, in fact, you can return to nature. I mean, I''m the only one here."


    "NO!" She put her arms around An Feng''s neck and shook her head.


    "I want to see." An Feng gently pressed her forehead.


    "NO!"


    "Please!" An Feng elongated his voice.


    "Okay, just once." Jenny kissed him and returned to the house. Afterwards, a graceful and delicate body passed by him without any concealment, twisted her buttocks and came to the edge of the swimming pool. With charming eyes, he walked down the stairs step by step.


    An Feng sat on the recliner under the eaves, took his laptop, and checked his mailbox. The tweet from Lei had already arrived. According to the requirements, he has to hire someone who is good at financial management, familiar with taxation, and has decision-making ability for a long time... In short, it is equivalent to a clone in the game.


    He checks the information of the candidates one by one. He needs to be omnipotent, not only to deal with finances, but also to have some basic decision-making skills. He picked a few and checked their resumes carefully, and selected the more suitable ones. An Feng didn''t mind the other party''s salary requirements, as long as they met the requirements.


    Called the one I was most optimistic about, and agreed to meet at noon tomorrow and have a good talk.


    Standing by the pool, when he was about to dial the second number, there was a splash on the water, and Jenny suddenly emerged from the water and grabbed his waistband. An Feng only had time to throw the phone on the shore, and followed. He fell into the water in embarrassment downwards, causing a crisp laughter.


    An Feng got out of the water, wiped his face, "This is not fun."


    Jenny pretended to be angry and said: "You let me take off all my clothes, but I watched the computer on the shore for an hour, is this fun?"


    "Well, it''s all my fault." An Feng swam over and hugged her, explaining is unnecessary, in this case a strong kiss is more effective than a hundred sentences.

 Chapter 23： personal assistant

    Chapter 23 Personal Assistant


    An annoying ringtone made it impossible to sleep well, An Feng got up in a daze, and said that the fastest way to disgust a song is to set it as an alarm, and now it seems that it is not true at all. He picked up his mobile phone and looked at it. It was almost eight o''clock, and he should be feeding the horses at this time.


    Turned around and touched it. The side beside me was empty and still warm. It seemed that the person left not long ago. He removed the blanket, opened the balcony screen door sleepily, and saw Jenny watching the scenery from below.


    "Hi! You woke up really early!" An Feng said lazily, putting his hands on the guardrail.


    Jenny turned around and said, "It''s still early? It''s too late! I want to get up early to watch the sunrise, but you can''t wake up. The sun has already reached this position when you get up." She compared her chest, and Ann Feng smiled and said, "You''re so cute, I''ve lived here for so long, and I haven''t seen the sunrise yet!"


    "That''s because you''re lazy." Jenny laughed at him, "Breakfast is ready for you. Just now I heard a horse barking below. Do you have a horse?"


    "Yes, are you interested in riding a horse?" An Feng asked her.


    Jenny hesitated for a moment, and said, "I''m afraid, if I fall off, will my **** end in two?"


    "Don''t be afraid, I will take good care of you." An Feng smiled. After a simple wash, he had breakfast, changed his clothes and rode an all-terrain vehicle to the horse farm.


    After intermittent repairs, the racecourse has now been surrounded by a circle of guardrails. According to Joanna''s suggestion, it has been divided into multiple areas. A batch of equestrian training equipment has been purchased, and a layer of fine sand has been laid on the ground, so that special hurdles and barrel winding can be performed. Exercises such as back and forth sprinting and sprinting are becoming more and more standardized.


    As soon as An Feng stopped the car, Philip in the stable found him. It actually yelled twice excitedly, and then quieted down when it saw An Feng walking towards him.


    An Feng looked around as he walked. The stables were kept very clean. Old John and Jessie both like to ride horses in their spare time. They must have cleaned them. An Feng had considered hiring a cowboy full-time to raise horses before, but Old John said that there were too few horses, and a few of them could take care of them.


    An Feng took a few carrots in his hand, cut them into several sections, gave some to Jenny, and walked towards Philip who was already looking forward to seeing him in the cubicle.


    "Look, I''ll feed it a carrot." An Feng spread the carrot in his hand and stretched it out. Philip began to chew on it, "It''s easy, but pay special attention to it. Feed the food on the palm, and the palm must be flat. If you squeeze carrots and feed them to horses, you might bite off your fingers."


    "Try it." An Feng stepped aside.


    Jenny carefully spread out her palm and stretched it out in front of Philip. An Feng stared at this guy. The uncastrated stallion is very irritable. It is strange to say that apart from listening to An Feng, other people, even the skilled old John I don''t like riding it because it resists too much.


    Except for feeding it something, it will accept it quietly. Maybe this guy is just a foodie, An Feng thought.


    Philip finished eating the carrot Jenny handed him. She laughed happily and took out her phone to take a picture. An Feng reminded her cautiously: "Turn off the flash, and don''t move too much, because the horse''s attention is easily distracted." Some small objects in front of it are disturbing, if it is outside, don��t get too close to it when taking pictures.��


    Jenny nodded teachably.


    Jenny also mastered some skills in feeding several horses that had already eaten pasture in turn. However, when An Feng put on his high boots and wanted to go in to wash and shovel the manure for the horses, Jenny smiled and took a few steps back. , making an excuse: "I''ll take care of Pipi and Eggy for you."


    An Feng looked back at the two patrol dogs who were fighting with Jenny, thinking that this dirty work was really not to be seen. He was not used to it at first, but after feeling Philip''s affection, he gradually fell in love with this dirty work. In Joanna''s words, it''s the hard work that pays off.


    After finishing their work, they took Philip and Angelina out. He chose a more docile mare to demonstrate, explained the precautions to Jenny, turned over and rode to demonstrate, ran around the field, and crossed two hurdles. Angelina is good at hurdling.


    Get down from its back, and say to Jenny: "Come on, I will hold the rein, and you come slowly, she is an obedient horse, don''t worry."


    Jenny took the rein from An Feng''s hand, and wanted to lead it forward, but it only took a few steps, so it raised its head, trying to pull the rein out of Jenny''s hand, An Feng had to take it. Rope, stroking Angelina''s mane, comforting: "Hey girl, relax!"


    After it calmed down, he gave the reins to Jenny again. This time it didn''t resist so much, and it was led by Jenny for a while. After getting to know each other, An Feng taught Jenny how to mount the horse. As long as the horse doesn''t resist, it can do these things It''s still quite easy, but Jenny''s figure is not as tall as Joanna''s, and it''s difficult to lift her legs directly onto the stirrups. An Feng had no choice but to support her plump buttocks on his back and send her up.


    Seeing her holding the rein nervously, An Feng said: "Relax, a horse is a spiritual animal. As soon as you sit on it, it will know how capable you are and whether you can control it. So calm down, thousand Don''t let it know that you can''t ride, or it will bully you."


    "Troublemaker?" Jenny said.


    "They are almost like this." An Feng smiled.


    An Feng led the bridle and walked around twice. After Jenny got used to it, he tried to let go and let her control Angelina by herself. It cooperated very well this time, and Jenny gave the order while holding the horse''s belly, and it started to walk slowly. Jenny wanted to laugh in excitement but didn''t dare to laugh loudly, her face was flushed from holding back.


    "Relax, straighten your waist!" An Feng reminded her that the western cowboy''s posture is not random. The charm of ordinary people is different from that of cowboys. In addition, Angelina is using English equestrianism for Joanna. Taught. Therefore, what An Feng taught Jenny was also English equestrianism.


    "Beautiful!" An Feng praised her a few words, and took a few photos of her, guessing that now Jenny is having fun on Twitter.


    An Feng also rode Philip and followed behind. He was very obedient when he was riding this guy, but his temper became irritable when it was replaced by others. Before Henry rode on it, it kept jumping and running until it was unlucky Henry flung it down. Since then, people have kept it at arm''s length.


    Look at Angelina again, she has a good temper, but Jenny always feels that something is missing when she rides on it...spirituality, the word came out of him suddenly. Usually it is very smart, and it will obediently follow familiar instructions. Joanna can even make it lie on the ground within three seconds.


    But it doesn''t matter, Jenny just looks like a fresh picture. At noon, she said pitifully that her legs were clamped too tightly, and her skin was rubbed red. An Feng checked her and rubbed her with a smile: "It''s okay, very Hurry up, you can still wear beautiful short skirts in the future."


    In the afternoon, An Feng changed into a suit of clothes, took his computer and went out. He made an appointment with an interview assistant today and met at a coffee shop in the city.


    When he arrived by car, the other party had already arrived ahead of schedule.


    "Hello, Mr. Ann, I''m John Adams." The other party smiled and shook hands with him.


    "Hello, John." There are quite a few people with this name. If you want to run to the street and shout "John", maybe a group of people will look back at you.


    An Feng looked at the other party while shaking hands. He was slightly shorter than him, with black hair, a clean shaven face, a suit, white shirt and tie. From the outside, he was a person who paid attention to details. After waiting for more than ten minutes, there was no trace of impatience on the face, indicating patience and calmness.


    "I''m sorry that I was delayed by something, so I ran over in a hurry to change my clothes." An Feng said apologetically.


    "It''s okay, I came early." John said.


    "Okay, let''s go in." An Feng walked into this coffee shop with him. He chose a more stylish and quiet place, which is good for talking.


    Sit down face to face and order a cup of coffee each.


    An Feng said straight to the point: "I have read your profile. Although you are still young and your resume is not very rich, I think you are good."


    "Thank you," John said.


    An Feng said: "My request is also simple, let me spend my money in useful places, and give me plans for investment and business negotiations."


    "This is our must-have quality." John said.


    "Very well, where do you live?"


    John felt a little strange. There was no sign of An Feng changing the subject, but he adjusted and said, "I live in San Diego and used to work there."


    "Oh, it''s quite far from here. Well, let me give you a task to negotiate with Tailan Company on my behalf and try to maximize the benefits. I will judge your ability based on the final negotiation results, as long as you I am satisfied, salary is not an issue."


    John''s eyes brightened. Since the US economy has not been very good, it has slowly recovered in recent years, but the storm of layoffs still came to him. As a famous university student, he felt that he had nothing to do but had nowhere to use it. Now he heard what An Feng said. Said, naturally it is high morale.


    "No matter how you were before, if you satisfy me, you will stay with a high salary. If you don''t do well, I will also pay you according to the normal salary in the same industry."


    "I will do well." John said confidently.


    An Feng looked at him, his questioning gaze made John a little nervous. At first glance, An Feng looked like a casual young man, but it gave him the feeling of a dignified boss in the past.


    Seeing the change in John''s expression, An Feng was expressionless, but he was secretly happy. The pretending to be deep was undoubtedly taught by Jenny. She has a good acting talent and gave some pointers. After that, An Feng practiced in front of the mirror for half an hour. After the muscles are stiffened, I quickly mastered the trick of pretending to be X.


    An Feng took out his computer and said in a flat tone: "Here is the information, I will send it to you, you can check it, and call me if you have any questions. There is no requirement for your office location, at home, at home Outdoors as you like, I just need the result."


    After talking for less than 20 minutes, An Feng put down the tip, didn''t even drink a sip of coffee, and drove his Ferrari roaring away when he went out. It makes people feel emotional, this is the real BOSS, this is life.


    John looked at the computer for a long time in the coffee shop, took out his mobile phone and called his wife: "Honey, guess what? I have a good opportunity!"

 Chapter 24： attend the meeting

    Chapter 24 Attending the meeting


    Later, An Feng called a Bentley and took Jenny to Los Angeles.


    His original plan was to drive there by himself, but when he thought about it carefully, the distance was long, and the space of the sports car was too compact to be comfortable enough. It was okay to go for a drive usually, but to attend such a formal banquet, he had to start with a luxury car. So he called his secretary Ray and ordered a top-of-the-line Bentley Mulsanne.


    The rear row of Mulsanne is spacious, and there is no problem in squatting one person in the leg room. The seats are extremely enjoyable, with ventilation and heating and a massage function. After more than 200 kilometers, there is no fatigue at all. If you are driving a sports car, your back is already sore right now, and you are not in the mood to attend the event.


    Jenny was a little nervous. She talked a lot on the way, and An Feng had to spend all his energy digging out his few words to praise her for how beautiful she was before she calmed down. An Feng selected a few lyrical pieces on the screen in the back row, and Jenny leaned on An Feng''s shoulder and squinted her eyes to rest. The speed is fast, but there is not a little bump in the car.


    When arriving in Los Angeles, it was already late, and on the way to a certain star hotel where the press conference was held, Jenny had already adjusted her state, and she used words to relieve her tension: "I have seen those lists, and the models present are all It��s first-class, and there are also cameo appearances by actresses, if only I can chat with a few producers or directors for a few minutes to make a good impression, and increase the pass rate when participating in role auditions in the future.��


    "Don''t worry, you will." An Feng kissed her on the forehead. It was hard for him to understand Jenny''s mood as a low-level actor who wanted to make a difference. Considering his personality, he preferred Live a free and casual life, let your subordinates do all the work, and be responsible for enjoying it yourself. I don��t like the life of celebrities who are always on guard against paparazzi and walking under flashing lights carefully in their best condition.


    Parked at the entrance of the hotel, the royal blue Bentley attracted a lot of flashlights. Although the press conference was not ostentatious, media reporters with keen sense of smell were still guarding the door, setting up long guns and short cannons, trying to grab first-hand information. Looking at the crowd outside the window, An Feng somewhat understood Jenny''s mood.


    But he smiled and comforted: "It''s okay, let''s show you the most beautiful side." Two hotel parking boys walked up to open the car door for them, and An Feng came out, wearing a black dress and looking tall and straight, He quickly came to Jenny''s side, and extended his hand towards her in a gentlemanly manner.


    Gently shaking her slender hand, Jenny came out with a smile on her face, and took An Feng''s arm affectionately. Since the driver of the Bentley has rich experience, the parking position is the most central area, and the car is so arrogant that people subconsciously think that the visitor is extraordinary, so the flashing lights are indispensable.


    An Feng paused for a second, then led Jenny towards the hotel. He thanked Joanna in his heart. She is a master in etiquette. An Feng learned a few tricks from her to deal with banquets when he was learning English before, and he performed perfectly today.


    What is more eye-catching is Jenny, who is wearing a European-style halterneck-style long dress, her long hair is draped over the other shoulder, revealing a beautiful white back, and a diamond necklace is hanging around her neck. Many people fell. An Feng was also amazed when she saw her changing clothes. Once she dressed up seriously, with this appearance and figure, she is not worse than those who walk the red carpet at film festivals, right?


    It can be said that Jenny has made a small step from the entrance to the hotel elevator. People always like handsome men and beautiful women. Almost all famous actresses have a beautiful appearance, which is one of the necessary conditions for becoming famous. It''s not that there are no powerful factions, but it is obviously more difficult to get ahead.


    The elevator came to the top floor of the hotel. After confirming An Feng''s name, a white waiter led them to the banquet hall. The top floor of the hotel has been converted into a semi-open-air style, where serious dinner parties can be held in the lobby, and more casual parties can be held outside.


    All kinds of people shuttled in the hall. At a glance, the men in monotonous dresses have become green leaves against the red flowers, and the ladies and ladies are all dressed in jewels. The types of dresses are various, just like a hundred flowers blooming. What the eyes can see are shining jewels, the gemstones on the neck, the pendants on the arms, all of them are elegant, graceful and luxurious, and every delicate face is amazing.


    An Feng glanced at the scene, lowered his head and said to Jenny: "Honey, I think I understand your nervousness a little bit, but don''t worry, you are the most beautiful! Look at those women who have no **** and insist on wearing low-cut, waist-high If you��re so thick, don��t show your back, it��s not as perfect as my Jenny!"


    After seeing so many beauties, An Feng can still praise her so calmly, which undoubtedly gave Jenny a lot of confidence and courage.


    A voice came over: "Hi, Bruce, my friend! You are finally here!"


    An Feng turned his head and saw Roger coming with a tall black-haired beauty, smiling and hugging An Feng, and then Roger introduced: "This is my female companion, Miranda."


    "Hi, my name is Bruce." An Feng wanted to shake hands with the other party, but Miranda smiled and hugged him, really enthusiastic.


    "My girlfriend, Jenny." An Feng introduced Jenny again.


    "You''re so beautiful today, Jenny!" Both Roger and Miranda hugged Jenny, and the two ladies gave a face-to-face salute and kissed in the air.


    "Miranda used to be a supermodel, but now she is a fashion expert and knows many Hollywood celebrities." Roger said with a smile, he knew what Jenny wanted.


    An Feng is even more curious about Roger''s speed of changing women. Wasn''t she still a Latin beauty a few days ago? Today has become a suspected Western European supermodel?


    It was Jenny who was pleasantly surprised: "Miranda? I know you!"


    "Oh?" Miranda looked at her with a smile.


    Jenny said: "Really, I met you in a fashion magazine before, you are the designer and editor, right? Your work is so creative."


    "Thank you." Miranda said with a smile, "I like this job, it always inspires me a lot."


    After everyone greeted each other a few words, Jenny was dragged away by Milan''s boss on the grounds that she knew a friend.


    Roger said: "Bruce, there are many jewelry lovers and collectors here tonight, and you will definitely get along well. Come, let me take you to get to know each other."


    An Feng wondered what kind of collector he was, but because of Roger''s enthusiasm, he could only go with him to join the chatting crowd.


    Roger greeted: "Gentlemen! Look who I brought?"


    People who often hang out in the upper class have cultivated a pair of vicious eyes, and they can know a person''s net worth and taste at a glance. The suit An Feng is wearing is not very impressive, but the grade is not low. The accessory is a Vacheron Constantin watch, which is a bit unusual. Logically speaking, he should be a relatively ordinary person, but the standard etiquette and British accent he displayed Added a bit of mystery.


    Roger glanced at their expressions, and didn''t continue to play tricks: "He is a gem collector from China, and the ''Twin Stars'' auctioned last time came from him. And, I have to emphasize one point, Bruce Ann''s style is particularly elegant , ''Gemini'' is just the tip of the iceberg!"


    Although Roger is a small clerk in the bank, his family is powerful. Although there are not many shares in the bank, he pays attention to the level of contacts. His money may not be as much as others, but the people he can contact are of a higher level. Therefore, after these few words of praise were exported, collectors treated him differently.


    An Feng smiled and said, "It''s just that there are some very beautiful stones."


    The Chinese-style modesty actually aroused Lao Mei''s curiosity, and they chatted in a few words. Fortunately, when An Feng was pondering artificial diamonds, he learned a lot from the Internet and books, and the machine brain reproduced the information one by one, allowing his The knowledge is very wide, and the professional conversation is admirable.


    Roger chatted with them a few words, then went to entertain others. An Feng''s half-truths and half-fake descriptions of his collections aroused strong interest among these guys, and they exchanged business cards one after another. After a quick glance, these collectors were mostly entrepreneurs, collectors, some There is even only one title, philanthropist. It is said that the fewer business card titles, the stronger his own strength, because he is well-known and does not need publicity.


    An Feng accepted the business card, said goodbye, went to the long table to eat some dessert, took another glass of red wine, casually glanced at the women present, either with perfect body or with white breasts, he saw a lot of **** The front is trembling, and she deliberately wears a low-cut dress, which draws people''s eyes away.


    While staring at a snow-white hemisphere, Jenny came back to him: "What are you looking at?"


    "Nothing, by the way, how are you talking?"


    Jenny smiled and said: "Great, Miranda took me to meet several producers and fashion editors, and someone even wanted me to sign a contract to shoot some street shoots!"


    An Feng took her hand and said with a smile: "I said a long time ago that you are so beautiful, as long as the timing is right, you will definitely be spotted."


    "Thanks to you." Jenny said happily.


    "Then you will reward me well tonight." An Feng said with a smile. At this time, the press conference was about to start. An Feng found a seat closer to the red carpet. Roger also brought Miranda over to sit. Everyone gathered to look at the jewelry displayed at the press conference.


    It��s different from the runway I��ve seen on TV. It��s a simple red carpet, with a few models dressed up in jewels. They walk a few steps and stop to show the camera. It takes about ten minutes, and then a certain lady comes out to thank, Said some long-winded nonsense, followed by a charity auction.


    "It''s that simple?" An Feng was a little surprised, he thought there was a supermodel walking catwalk in front of him.


    Roger said with a smile: "This is a private display, all of which are samples. Strictly speaking, it is not a press conference. In fact, the charity auction is the focus."


    "Oh?" An Feng thought these people were really strange.


    Then he seemed to understand a little bit of the reason. After the auction started, the jewelry on display was very ordinary, some of which were not even genuine. Roadside stalls worth dozens or hundreds of RMB at most sold for tens of thousands of dollars. An Feng also spent thousands of dollars to buy some hanging ornaments, just for fun.

 Chapter 25： Acquisition of Tyran

    Chapter 25 Acquisition of Tailan


    Seeing the highlight of the auction, in order to take care of the cultural differences between the two countries, Roger explained: "Charity auctions and other forms of fundraising are the same process. A certain party or the government will come forward to hold a dinner party. Everyone eats and drinks. Some Political deals are often reached at this time. As for auctions, if you don��t have something you particularly like, you can buy back the items you gave away.��


    "Buy your own? Isn''t it boring to go back and forth?"


    Roger smiled: "It''s not what you think, even if the auction item is ordinary, it will fetch a high price."


    Mr. An has seen it, these rich people are really smooth, they send some worthless auction items at random, and then buy them back at a price that is several times higher or ten times higher. The check is sent out, and the reputation is brought back. Maybe it will have something to do with the organizer.


    Roger continued: "You see, the organizer of tonight''s auction is a not-so-famous jeweler, but why are there so many celebrities present?"


    "She has a background?" An Feng asked.


    "Yes, her brand may not be well-known, but if you look carefully at the list, there is a local councilor with the same surname as her tonight, and a rich man is related to her."


    Isn��t this just trying to sell dog meat? An Feng understood: "So that''s the case, your main purpose is to build relationships."


    "It''s an open secret that the salaries of MPs are very low and they can''t support themselves. The government encourages MPs to have their own stable careers or investments. Look at those local and congressional MPs, even the president, there are many behind them. The capital chain, either has its own industry or the support of a consortium. If there is no money, it is difficult for a poor man to play politics. The simplest example: if you want to be elected, you must canvass votes. If you want to canvass votes, you must Publicity, you need money if you want to publicize. If you don��t have money, you can��t let your supporters know about you, so politics is a money-burning job!��


    After his simple explanation, An Feng understood that the country is coming from behind the scenes, but here it is just playing openly.


    Roger looked around: "The auction is over. Before the auction ends, let me introduce you to some people."


    Under the guidance of Roger, An Feng took Jenny to meet the politicians present, basically to say hello and chat a few words, a bit like queuing up to shake hands with the leaders, but American politicians don''t pay attention to routines, and treat the rich They are all short-tempered, and occasionally have a little good-natured joke.


    Talked a few words to each other, exchanged pleasantries, and then went to the next person to shake hands. Looking at these busy politicians, I feel that it is not easy. If you want to gain support in politics, you must not only have a good background, but also have a good eloquence. You can only be pleasing if you can speak well on any occasion.


    An Feng also handed business cards to a circle of young people and chatted for a few minutes. Basically, what they discussed were sports cars, yachts, airplanes, or red wine, cigars and other unnutritious topics. The women chatted non-stop about jewelry, cosmetics, beauty and other things.


    Listening to their hobbies, An Feng found that sports cars and mansions are almost standard configurations, and more people are planning their own private yachts and even private jets. An Feng also made a calculation. With his current assets, he can barely afford to buy a small and medium-sized yacht. As for a private jet, it is still an ideal. A high-style life is built on Jinshan. There is something to say: What level is what consumption. Money never seems to be enough.


    "We still have to find a way to make money!" An Feng sighed. At this moment, he is just an entry-level rich man with a little money, and there is still a gap between the local tyrants who say "money is just a set of numbers", "a few million a minute", "besides, I even bought it for you?"


    When the meeting finally ended, Miranda, the female companion brought by Roger, invited them: "If you have time, welcome to the private party held the day after tomorrow. There will be more celebrities and big names appearing. Directors and investors will not Less, much more relaxed than the current atmosphere."


    Jenny looked at An Feng. She was really looking forward to this kind of opportunity. He smiled and said, "As long as you want, I will definitely take you there."


    "You are so kind." Jenny kissed him and hugged his arm happily.


    Roger smiled at An Feng and said, "I''m free these few days, let''s have another drink when we have a chance."


    "OK."


    After saying goodbye to each other, An Feng took Jenny to the Bentley waiting at the door. It was too late, and it was definitely not appropriate to run another 300 kilometers, so they stayed in Los Angeles.


    I spent the next few days shopping with Jenny and attended Miranda''s private party by the way. Not to mention the surprised Jenny, even An Feng himself was a little surprised��he met a few guys whose names he could name at the party, clinked glasses and drank together, chatted for a while, and took photos with his mobile phone.


    In addition, the assistant John is also very fast.


    An Feng made an appointment with him at a coffee shop in Los Angeles. The two sat down facing each other. John was dressed very formally, with a black suit and white shirt, only missing a tie. He took out a document and handed it to An Feng: "Mr. An, here are several cooperation agreements that I negotiated with Tailan Company."


    An Feng flipped through the content of the file. There were too many projects, and his head was a bit big when he read it. After reading it for a long time, he became sleepy. It was the same when he was a small employee in China. He was often the first to fall when he wanted to devote energy. He closed the documents, looked at John who was a little nervous, and said, "Let''s talk about it."


    John started to talk: "Telan''s top management doesn''t want the controlling stake to be transferred to other people or companies, but I have checked their accounts in recent years. As a non-listed company, it is very difficult to survive in the shadow of giants. The market It will gradually strangle these companies without core competitiveness..."


    "Sorry." An Feng interrupted him with a smile, "Don''t be so formal, keep it simple, I''m more used to colloquial expressions."


    The boss did what he said, and John changed the way: "The performance of the other party''s company has been declining, and it is in urgent need of competitive technology. The patent in your hand has broad prospects and can save their decline. So after a few days of negotiation, they agreed. Shares with four patents."


    "Wait a minute, didn''t I provide five patents?" An Feng asked.


    "Yes, it is five, but the intellectual property rights will exceed the maximum proportion. I will reduce it to four patents plus 4 million funds. You will own 70% of the shares of Tailan Company and become the absolute controlling shareholder. Of course, there are also investment risks to be reduced. The way to do it: to fund three patents, but you only have 45% of the equity.��


    "Just the first item, I have confidence in myself." An Feng said. If you can''t hold a controlling stake, how can you let the company promote its own technology? How else to make money?


    John nodded, and suddenly looked at An Feng in surprise, as if recalling what he said just now: "Sir, may I ask a question?"


    "Excuse me."


    "You developed all these super technologies?" John asked in disbelief. Seeing An Feng''s style as a rich boy, he couldn''t be associated with an inventor at all. At first, he thought that An Feng bought these amazing patents from others and then transferred them.


    "Of course I developed it. Besides these, I still have a lot of patent certificates." An Feng''s face was calm, and his heart was full of pride.


    "You are amazing!" John admired him sincerely. He looked at An Feng''s attire. He was dressed in casual attire. He looked like a wealthy man who had no desires or desires. Technology entrepreneurs such as Bill Gates and Joe Gang.


    An Feng continued to discuss some details with him, and finally finalized the first plan. Regarding the time, he asked: "When will the acquisition of Tailan start?"


    "If you have no other arrangements, you can do it anytime, the other party is ready."


    "Then as soon as possible."


    Afterwards, An Feng found out that the executives of Tailan Company were more anxious than him. After two quarters, the product sales dropped sharply. Technology is completely defeated, investing a lot of money with zero return, not only wasting time, but also depleting funds, if this continues, deficits, bankruptcy are all foreseeable.


    The emergence of An Feng and his new technology is undoubtedly a ray of hope in the darkness.


    A day later, An Feng changed into a suit, brought his lawyer, accountant and assistants, and headed to the Tailan company headquarters together. From the outside, it''s just an ordinary three-story building near the urban area, and there are not many employees. A group of people have been laid off recently. His arrival was like sending charcoal in the snow, which made the company''s top management look forward to it. This may change the future destiny. Of course, it is not ruled out that he was fired if he did not see hope.


    After talking about the acquisition for so long, it was the first time that the company''s CEO, Bray Hawke, had met his partner. He wasn''t the bespectacled, well-mannered scholar he imagined, nor was he a middle-aged Asian with a big belly and an upstart face. Is a very temperamental young man.


    "I''m Bray Hawke, the CEO of Tailan, welcome, Mr. An!" Bray stretched out his hand to An Feng.


    "Hello, Mr. Hawk." An Feng shook hands with him with a smile, and Bray led the way: "Mr. An, please! Let''s go to the office to talk!"


    The company''s shareholders and some high-level executives are sitting in the office talking, and the lawyers are also carefully reviewing the acquisition contracts one by one. An Feng has nothing to do. Listen to Bray''s introduction to the history of Tailan Company, how to make a fortune, how to become famous, And how did you encounter a crisis.


    An Feng looked at Bray Hawke. He has a high forehead, a big nose, a thick beard on his upper lip, and a clean chin. He has a bit of Mexican features, maybe he is of mixed race. Some English words are pronounced with his tongue shaking, probably his native tongue A custom left over from Spanish.


    From the conversation, I learned that Bray is the founder of this company and was once the largest shareholder. He has a professional background and personally developed plant fertilizers back then. He has a unique vision in this field. After seeing the materials and samples sent by An Feng, his first reaction was exaggeration. Is there such a powerful thing? However, he kept his heart, and after studying the samples himself, he realized that this might be a great opportunity.


    When chatting with An Feng, he focused on professional technology. Facts have proved that An Feng did not disappoint him. He even had many concepts that he had never heard before. In the end, Hawke was able to tell shareholders with confidence that being acquired was not a bad idea.


    Six lawyers from both parties spent the whole morning just looking at the contract, raising a few points of dissatisfaction. Pause at noon, have lunch in the restaurant, and continue wrangling in the afternoon. In the end, the acquisition contract was signed before get off work.


    Finally, the two parties shake hands, take a photo or something. An Feng has no intention of rectifying the company for the time being, and Bray Hawk is still the CEO. After all, he has good ability. It is not luck alone to be able to break through from an unknown small company to a company with a capital of 30 million US dollars.


    It is worth mentioning that An Feng''s act of relinquishing power because he hated trouble made the company''s employees feel at ease. If the new boss makes drastic changes, fires the CEO and replaces him with another one, I''m afraid some people who have feelings for the company Older employees will be very resistant.


    The employees are happy, and An Feng is also happy. He thinks that this scale can be considered a big company, right? In China, a company with a registered capital of nearly 200 million RMB is placed in an ordinary second- and third-tier city. It is undoubtedly a big taxpayer, a grandfather-like existence, gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas...

 Chapter 26： The pursuit of life

    Chapter 26 The Pursuit of Life


    According to the nature of the Americans, after everything has been negotiated, the tension will be resolved, and a few bottles of champagne will be opened, and the enemy will suddenly become a friend. We will have a few drinks together to celebrate the success of the cooperation, and then leave on our own. stay to continue the consultation.


    Hawk stayed, and he briefly described the company''s operations. The current task is the review of new products. The United States also has the experience of recklessly engaging in agriculture. Later, the water resources were polluted due to the abuse of chemical fertilizers, which attracted the attention of the government. Therefore, if the new fertilizer wants to go to the market, it still needs a lot of tests.


    "Mr. An, our company has cooperated with government departments many times in this regard, and we are proficient in submitting for review. It is estimated that the product will be launched to the market in about half a year. At the same time, I am considering asking the company to apply for a bank loan, and use this time to develop new products in the western region. Customers in the region tout new technologies.��


    According to the CEO''s development plan, it is basically steady and steady. It may be a bit lacking in aggressiveness, but for companies lacking funds, the method is the safest. An Feng expressed his trust: "You are responsible for the specific work, I don''t care about the process, I just want to see the profit."


    Bray was full of confidence: "It will satisfy you, sir."


    "I hope so." An Feng said. If he can''t do well, as the boss, he will hold a general meeting of shareholders and fire him as the CEO, and replace him with a more capable one.


    Ke Anfeng didn''t like trouble, so he made the only arrangement.


    "John, you did this beautifully!" An Feng leaned on the comfortable swivel chair, and his assistant John Adams sat opposite him.


    This is the chairman''s office.


    The company''s office building is not big, and An Feng hardly comes to work, but the company still arranged an office for him according to the regulations. It is about 30 square meters, with a luxurious desk and a leather sofa. Behind the desk stands a black wood-grained bookcase, which contains books related to economic management. It''s okay, lean back on the chair: XXX, you don''t have to come to work tomorrow. It''s really a bit like a big leader.


    "This is exactly what I''m good at." John is completely relieved now, the investment negotiation went smoothly, and his overtime work all night was not in vain.


    An Feng was very satisfied with his prudence: "Considering that you have also served as my financial consultant, accountant, assistant, etc., your professional quality is also good. How about this, I will give you an annual salary of 120,000, and your duty is to perform for me work, oversee company finances, provide investment planning. How?"


    John nodded happily: "I am happy to accept this job."


    An Feng knew that he would not refuse, because he had learned that the annual salary of a financial consultant in this part of California is about 60,000 US dollars, and the income of other accounting, investment management and other occupations is similar. According to the data of a polling company in the United States, if a white family of four wants to live a more comfortable middle-class life, the annual salary should not be less than 70,000 US dollars, and the Spanish-speaking South American immigrants can lower it, 50,000 US dollars.


    The salary offered by the boss is almost double, which makes John flattered. He graduated from a famous university and worked in a company for several years, earning considerable income. However, the downturn in the economy has led to huge employment pressure. Companies are laying off employees and lowering wages one after another, but house prices and prices are all rising.


    He also lost his job in this wave. His wife and children needed to support him, and the pressure was all on him alone. As a talent in the field, it is not difficult to find a job of 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, but people always have to go up, right? With the idea of ??giving it a try, he gave the information to the professional league, conducted a special assessment, and paid the membership fee, but there was no good news for several weeks in a row. When he was getting more and more disappointed, An Feng found him.


    Seeing the contract drawn up in his hand, he felt the excitement of guarding the clouds and seeing the moon. The salary was higher than before, but the work pressure was less than before. Ming is not only familiar with financial management, but also able to supervise the company''s subordinates.


    Although An Feng didn''t point it out, John knew that he couldn''t let Bray Hawk monopolize the power of the company like before. The big boss doesn''t interfere, but he always has his confidants to watch over him. Once there are any wrong decisions or financial problems, John, as an expert, is naturally not a vegetarian.


    It only takes a few glances and a sentence or two, and both parties know that the other party understands.


    His subordinates are smart, so An Feng naturally goes his way.


    ��


    After living in Los Angeles for a few days, An Feng accompanied Jenny to travel around the streets and alleys. Jenny saw that he missed the pets at home and didn''t want to make life difficult for her boyfriend because of herself, so she suggested to pack up her luggage and go back to live with him for a while. When on vacation. The tired An Feng naturally raised his hands in agreement.


    When returning, they took civil aviation. An Feng always thought that the only way to travel such a short route is by car, but he was wrong. From Los Angeles to San Luis Obispo, the straight-line distance is 260 kilometers, and it takes three hours to drive there, but there are still flights, ten times a day.


    The ?? model is a small business jet produced in Brazil, which can accommodate thirty passengers and is sometimes used as a sightseeing plane. After boarding the plane, An Feng was bored looking at the map of airports in California. American Airlines has well-developed routes, and there are airports in larger areas. Even Paso Robles, a small city with a population of 30,000 to 40,000, also has an airport.


    An Feng said with emotion: "No wonder you all say that taking the train is more expensive than flying!"


    Jenny rested her head on his shoulder. She liked this position, maybe it felt safe. After listening to what An Feng said, she explained: "The trains in the United States are almost all used to transport goods, but when traveling far away, I will choose the plane, and occasionally I can buy a one-dollar ticket."


    "It sounds unbelievable." An Feng had heard of such things in China before, and his first reaction was: Are you kidding me?


    "I promise it''s true." Jenny looked up at him, "I''ve taken it before. If the occupancy rate of the flight does not reach 60%, the airline will sell a one-dollar ticket in order to preserve capital."


    An Feng kissed her on the forehead and said with a smile: "I believe in you. I''m just wondering when my motherland will open up such a policy."


    "China? What''s it like?" Jenny asked him.


    "What do you think?" An Feng asked back.


    Jenny sat up straight and said with great interest: "In the past, many of my classmates and I thought that China was a very backward country. People often starved to death. They had to swear allegiance to the party when they were interviewed by TV stations. They wore the same clothes. What did they do? They will be monitored by the police, and ML before marriage will break the law. But since the number of Chinese tourists coming to the United States has increased, we feel that they are a group of very rich people who wear famous brands. They buy four or five French-made designer bags. When you buy more than 10,000 Rolex, you buy three of them. We wonder, what is China like?"


    He actually has a North Korean feeling, he explained with a smile: "It''s not as exaggerated as you think, but it''s not as rich as you think. The big cities are similar to yours, bustling and congested, but the conditions in the countryside are not as good as yours. Relatively backward, just the traffic Systematically speaking, the eastern coastal areas are more developed."


    Jenny asked: "It turns out that we have a big misunderstanding?"


    "Misunderstandings are for sure! Just for me, before coming here, many people and I thought that the United States is a developed and beautiful country, but after experiencing it, I found that it also has shortcomings: except for some metropolises, other places It��s also similar to China, with some cities still older. Highway traffic is well developed, but many of your highways are just ordinary four-lane roads, and the roads in New York are also repaired, and dirty and messy areas also exist in areas where black people concentrate.��


    Jenny laughed: "You think too well of this."


    An Feng nodded: "Some people say that the United States has the best welfare, but I also found that there are beggars. In fact, the welfare of neighboring Canada is better than that of the United States, and the welfare of Switzerland is the top; Need to pay a lot of property taxes, management fees and other items. When the economic crisis came, many people could not afford the maintenance fees and had to sell their houses to live in cheaper ones; Located in a slum area, you have to worry about gunshots during the day, the house is only a shell, and you have to pay at least $100,000 for renovations if you want to live in it.��


    "So the news and newspapers lied to us?"


    ��I never believe in CNN, BBC, CCXX, I view those broadcasts as serials. Many of us are looking forward to the finale of a N-season program that has been broadcast for decades.��


    "What is it?" Jenny asked.


    An Feng hugged her with a smile: "Can you slap my face first?"


    ��


    In the end, Jenny still didn''t get the answer.


    But all she cares about is the warmth and flirtation with her boyfriend.


    Back to the small town of Paso Robles, breathing the fresh air, An Feng felt at ease.


    Although the life in the metropolis is wonderful and colorful, it is like a delicacy, which is memorable once tasted once in a while, but it will get boring after eating every day. He is a bit lazy in his bones. He likes to sleep on a recliner, stare at the blue sky in a daze, or occasionally ride a horse and play with the dog. He will only be motivated when he likes things. Let him go shopping, attend parties, once or twice is no problem, but it will be annoying if there are too many times.


    He knows that he has huge wealth, big enough to change the world, but the problem is that he lacks motivation and ambition. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have been in a position for three years at the beginning. If it were someone else, he might have found another job, and he still received that salary honestly.


    That is, the communication with other rich people at the auction made him feel that he should have a little big pursuit in life. He has a luxury house and sports car, and yachts and planes should also be realized.


    It''s also possible, his attitude is the real realm. Enough money has been earned, and everything that should be obtained, what''s next? Isn''t it just lying on the beach in a leisurely afternoon in the sun?

 Chapter 27： barbecue party

    Chapter 27 BBQ Party


    Two days after An Feng arrived home, Joanna, who was on vacation, also came back. Like An Feng, the first thing she did when she came back was to see how her horse was doing. In this regard, the two men have similar tastes. They put on their boots and walked into the stables, and they didn''t think it was dirty. They rolled up their sleeves and started shoveling horse manure.


    It was Jenny who led Pippi and stood outside looking at them incomprehensibly. After a while, she couldn''t help asking: "Is this really interesting?"


    An Feng straightened up, leaned on the shovel and thought for a while, then shrugged: "It''s a kind of interest."


    "Shoveling horse manure?" Jenny expressed doubts.


    Joanna��s idea is quite unique: ��It��s the same as a dog lover keeps a dog. People will bathe it, clean up its feces, and take them out for a walk. It belongs to the emotional exchange between the two parties. It depends on you, you Be responsible for it, and it will repay you sincerely."


    "Oh, so profound." Jenny said.


    An Feng smiled and asked her: "Would you like to run around later?"


    "Me? Forget it." Jenny shook her head and squeezed her legs, "The skin on my thighs is so painful."


    Joanna said: "I can teach you a ladylike way of riding, which can avoid friction."


    "Really?" Jenny walked over curiously.


    Joanna took off her gloves and made comparisons in the air: "It''s called a side saddle, and the riding method is called side riding. You need to use a set of ladies'' saddles. Usually, you get on the horse from the left side, with your legs on the right side of the horse. Stirrups, right foot in the air. Practice it for a week or two and you''ll get used to it."


    "Two weeks? It''s been a long time, and it sounds difficult, right?" Jenny retreated.


    On the contrary, An Feng was curious about this riding method, and asked, "I have only seen this riding method in books. It is said that it is used by noble women in Europe."


    Joanna nodded: "Side riding was produced in the traditional European society before, and it is not passed down now because men and women are equal. It was different in ancient times. The ladies all wore grand long skirts. It is really indecent to ride across. Satisfying the demands of women has produced this ladylike riding style."


    "So you also learned?" An Feng asked.


    "My father taught me when I was a child, and he also told me about this knowledge." Joanna said with a smile, "He said that this way is like a Lady."


    "Then he is really knowledgeable, I have a chance to chat with him." An Feng said.


    Joanna''s face suddenly became a little sad, "He passed away."


    "Oh, I''m sorry." An Feng said hastily. He and Joanna have been together for so long, and he rarely hears her talk about her family. This is the reason.


    "It''s okay." Joanna shook her head, "I''m used to it."


    Jenny glanced at her and asked hesitantly, "So, your father was also a nobleman before his death?"


    An Feng also thought of Jenny''s question. No wonder she always felt that she had an aura. Perhaps this was cultivated by a noble family since she was a child?


    She smiled indifferently: "Does it matter? Once a person dies, he can''t take anything with him, no matter how great his title or fame is."


    The atmosphere suddenly became dull, and An Feng quickly changed the subject: "Let it go, don''t mention these sad things. Joanna, how about going out for a few laps?"


    "Okay." Joanna nodded in agreement.


    Put the saddle on the horse, turn on the horse''s back, and ride out to have fun. It is estimated that Philip and Angelina didn''t have much time to play during this time. They were very excited when they felt the original owner riding on their backs. Even Philip overcame the problem of walking around the barrel. An Feng was very pleased.


    Riding the horse and galloping, sucking in the fresh air, feeling the mountain wind blowing in front of you, you are full of indescribable refreshment. An Feng invited Jenny to ride a horse several times, but she refused with a smile, and he didn''t force it. Not everyone likes horse riding, so she let her walk the dog aside.


    Maybe Jenny felt bored, and she suggested an idea: "How about we have a party tonight? The theme is... barbecue?"


    An Feng thinks the idea is good, he has been here for so long, and he has never invited neighbors. If you say that the relationship between neighbors in the United States is cold, that��s not the case. It depends on how you integrate into the environment. If you have an attitude of not interacting with different cultures, you will have no friends. People with a little money have a very wide circle of friends. They like to have parties at home, invite neighbors, and neighbors bring friends to invite colleagues. Once they come and go, the nightlife will naturally be rich.


    "Joanna, will you come?" An Feng asked the most familiar person first.


    "No problem." Joanna said, "What''s your request?"


    "There is no requirement, just come here at eight o''clock in the evening." An Feng said.


    After Joanna returned in the afternoon, An Feng and Jenny were busy preparing. Jenny looked through An Feng''s refrigerator, and came back frowning to write the purchase material list. An Feng was in charge of notifying his friends by phone, there were not many, but it would take a lot of energy to invite them one by one. Good thing it''s free most nights.


    He drove the pickup truck to the city and took Jenny to the supermarket. He saw the American style of shopping: it doesn��t matter whether you need it or not, and you buy it first when you see it. They''ll all be thrown in the trash. But when they think about things, they always lack a little... rationality.


    After shopping, I prepared the barbecue for the evening with Jenny. I bought a lot of things, mutton and beef are essential, as well as some vegetables, seafood and lobster. Jenny is very skilled. She cut the beef into palm-sized pieces with a few strokes of the kitchen knife. An Feng admired: "Amazing!"


    "I used to do that a lot," Jenny said with a smile.


    "I thought you all didn''t eat barbecue. I didn''t realize I was wrong until you suggested at noon." An Feng said while washing the vegetables.


    "Most people eat it, but the frequency is low and health-conscious. The meat we roast is usually cooked. When eating these meats, we don''t drink beer."


    Hearing what Jenny said, I can see a lot of differences. At least in China, beer is absolutely indispensable for barbecue. An Feng thinks that eating barbecue and drinking beer is enjoyable, and death is worth it. Moreover, foreigners are very picky, they don��t eat internal organs, and there are almost no grilled fish.


    Later, there was the sound of a car outside the door. An Feng went out to see that a GMC off-road vehicle was parked outside the door. Looking at the license plate, the family of Bury, who lived closest, came first. The old cowboy Mark and his wife Olivia came down from the front row, and Henry, Mary and their pet dog sat in the back row.


    "Hi! Welcome!" An Feng stepped forward to hug them one by one.


    "I didn''t come early, did I?" Mark''s voice was naturally loud and resonant, and he was a tall and cheerful man.


    "Punctual, you are the first to arrive." An Feng said with a smile.


    "Oh, it seems that I have to drink a few beers first." Mark put his hand on the waistband of his jeans, and looked at An Feng''s kitchen with a smile.


    An Feng was speechless, didn��t they all say that they pay attention to healthy diet? Why did this guy want to drink beer to enjoy himself when he first arrived?


    "Hi, Bruce!" Henry walked over, "I have fully mastered the boxing technique you taught me last time, and now I feel full of strength."


    Seeing that Henry wanted to play a set of boxing techniques, An Feng hurriedly stopped him, and it would be bad for him to make trouble here: "You don''t want to spread your unique kung fu, have you forgotten this rule?"


    "Oh, I forgot, sorry." Henry patted his head. Since the radio gymnastics incident, An Feng had no choice but to give him something serious.


    I don��t know why this guy is learning these things. I heard that he is going to fight Xiao Hei... Influenced by kung fu movies, Xiao Hei was quite afraid of these things��before.


    Second Master Guan, bless Henry from being beaten too badly.


    Around eight o''clock, the guests arrived one after another. Another group of neighbors, five people from the Landau family, the couple and three children, the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl Millie and Mary are classmates, and they chatted quickly. A five-year-old boy named Harvey also played with other children who arrived later.


    An Feng lamented that the American family is big, but thinking about it is right, there must be more children. If a child is shot at school, there will be more at home! According to the cannonball landing theory, the cannonballs will not fall on the same pit, and similarly, the shootings will not happen in the same school.


    So it''s a good idea to put your kids in shooting schools.


    What surprised An Feng the most was that Joanna and her family all came. I thought Joanna was the only one, but unexpectedly the whole family arrived.

 Chapter 28： This womans heart

    Chapter 28 This Woman''s Heart


    "Hi, hello!" An Feng greeted them.


    "Hello, Mr. An." The leading man in the white shirt smiled and introduced: "My name is Frank, and this is my wife Kelly, son Andy, and daughter Joanna."


    An Feng turned sideways: "Everyone, please come in."


    Joanna''s stepfather, Frank, is of medium build and in his forties. He looks easy-going and his skin is a little red. It should be from the sun while on vacation in Florida. This makes An Feng wonder, the yellow people will turn black if exposed to too much sun, and the white people will turn wheat-colored if exposed to too much sun, and the red lobster will appear after that.


    Joanna''s biological mother, Kelly, is of mixed race. Even though she is dressed simply, she still looks like a graceful lady. The most surprising thing was that she actually used Chinese when greeting An Feng. There was also a kid named Andy who insisted on shaking hands with An Feng. He squatted down and smiled, grabbed his little hand and shook it a few times.


    Everyone finds a chair to sit on the lawn in the backyard. Two sets of ovens have been set up, some slices of meat are grilled, some vegetables are skewered, and after a while, Old John and Jessie also arrive. When there are more people, plus a bunch of children, it is very lively.


    When the wind blows, the smell of the meat blows with the wind, which whets the appetite. Needless to say, everyone went to get their plates. An Feng took a bite of the roasted mutton, the oil was rich and it was still charcoal-grilled, although the medium-rare ingredients ruined the taste a bit. But everyone''s praises are still constant, and even a few children will say "great" one bite at a time, which makes An Feng very satisfied.


    As the party host, An Feng chatted with the guests from time to time. He has participated in many American parties before, and he has figured out the process. In short, the host is responsible for enlivening the atmosphere and satisfying the guests. It can be seen that everyone is in a good mood and feels at home.


    After drinking and eating, it was still early, the atmosphere was suitable, and the surrounding sound effects were excellent. Mark and Olivia performed a dynamic cowboy dance. The western cowboy''s tap rhythm ignited everyone. The passion for singing and dancing in the blood moved everyone, young and old.


    The old cowboy dragged his wife to show off his dancing skills. Everyone gathered around and beat the beat with their hands. A few pet dogs ran around chasing Mark''s pace. I didn''t understand why these people went crazy.


    An Feng walked out from the crowd, his eyes fell on Joanna who was sitting alone, and he went to sit beside her. "Not going to join them?"


    Joanna shook her head: "I''ll just watch."


    "It''s not good for you to be like this. Play crazy with them, and you will have a good night''s sleep tonight." An Feng knew that Joanna''s character was a bit different. Her hobbies are different from others. For example, Mary likes to go shopping, buy clothes and paint her nails, but Joanna seldom shows interest in this aspect. Instead, she likes equestrianism and symphony.


    Joanna continued to shake her head and whispered, "I won''t."


    "What?" An Feng froze for a moment, no? Did you hear me right?


    "Then how did you play before? Isn''t the birthday party very lively?"


    Joanna frowned and looked at him: "Before? It was a very formal ball, everyone danced some ballroom dancing, there was no such crazy scene."


    "I feel that you must have been boring before!" An Feng stood up and reached out to her: "Come on, let me teach you how to be crazy!"


    Joanna just looked up at him.


    "Actually, I''ve put my all into it. Others rarely see me like this." An Feng said with a smile. Joanna hesitated and stood up by herself.


    An Feng pulled Joanna to Jenny and asked Jenny to teach her some modern and popular dance steps. Joanna''s background is actually very good. She has been trained in court dance, and she has a strong comprehension ability. She mastered the trick after a few pointers, and Jenny took her through it once, and it was not bad at all.


    In this kind of party with a relaxed atmosphere, it doesn��t matter whether you dance well or not, you just need to twist your body, keep up with the beat, and be happy. Jenny led Joanna to a jazz dance. Jenny performed unrestrained, lively and full of energy, while Joanna was slightly hesitant in her movements.


    "Joanna, you have to let go of your movements, no one will make fun of you! Believe in yourself!" An Feng encouraged, and said to the others: "Hey! Come and give Joanna some encouragement! Come together! Give Give her a round of applause! She''s a good dancer, isn''t she?"


    "Come on, Joanna!"


    Everyone��s applause was not stingy. When the music sounded, Jenny in a cool short top stretched out her hand and pulled Joanna out. The lively and hot style was displayed on her body. An Feng gave her a thumbs up, and she responded with her head held high. Everyone joined the hot dance circle one after another, each showing off their unique skills.


    Afterwards, the play was crazy, all kinds of styles came into battle, and even An Feng sacrificed his image to dance horseback riding in order to encourage Joanna, and added a flame of European and American Divine Comedy. . Henry, this guy actually played the Divine Comedy first, then the fox screamed, and then he swayed in Harlem. The camera was placed on the lawn, and a group of people shook wildly at the camera like a stroke, completely destroying all the images of gentlemen and ladies.


    The happy atmosphere ignites everyone. Although there is no effect of alcohol, the level of excitement is comparable. The noise lasted until midnight, and the exhausted and energetic people reluctantly said their goodbyes. An Feng sent them out one by one, and they all expressed that they would come again next time.


    When sending Joanna''s family out, Frank and An Feng walked behind him side by side. Frank said to him, "Thank you for your hospitality tonight. The party was really good."


    "It should." An Feng said.


    Joanna took Andy''s hand and walked in front. Frank looked at this scene and said: "Due to some special reasons, Joanna''s personality is a bit withdrawn. I heard that she has found a job as a translator. I have been worried about whether she can do it." Okay, but tonight I should thank you for changing her a lot."


    "Maybe you need to know more about her. You know what? She''s just like any other girl in front of me, she just doesn''t like to express emotion."


    "Maybe, but she rarely talks to me, except for a word or two from her mother, and this family trip is all about cheering her up."


    "Oh." An Feng nodded.


    Frank said: "So I hope you will continue to employ her. Of course, I can pay you the funds, as long as she is happy."


    "I will, but I don''t need your money. Even if you don''t tell me, I will ask her to be my equestrian instructor. You know she is very capable in this regard."


    Frank said with a smile: "You can rest assured, Joanna''s former equestrian coach is world-class, and she can also play polo and fencing."


    An Feng said: "Then I am very lucky. Besides, Frank, I think you are a good father."


    Frank stopped suddenly, then laughed: "Thank you for saying that, kid."


    ��


    After clearing the dishes, he drank a glass of ice water to clear his throat, and then Jenny dragged him to the bathtub for a lovely two-person bath, and slept with each other until dawn. Feeling her love and caress on him in a dim way, he couldn''t help having a fight with his arms around her waist, tossing and tossing until the sun was three poles before lying down exhausted.


    An Feng''s fingers lightly ran across her smooth back, and Jenny curled up in her arms like a cat, she really is a gentle town, a hero''s tomb.


    Jenny pushed her hair back and suddenly asked, "What do you think of Joanna?"


    "What?" An Feng was a little surprised, "Why do you ask this question?"


    "Tell me what you really think." Jenny looked at him with wide eyes.


    "Why ask this? She is very smart, very... oh oh oh!" An Feng suddenly realized the woman''s fickleness, and hugged Jenny tightly, "What are you thinking?"


    Jenny picked up the words: "She is beautiful, has temperament, is taller than me, and often rides horses. Her **** is higher than mine, and she has common hobbies with you."


    "Oh, my God! Why is your little head full of these things?" An Feng said dumbfounded, "You know I like you, baby! Let me touch, touch, your **** is also very nice Ah, it feels so good in the hand, why do you want to be so upturned, and it''s easy to collapse when you wear pants, don''t you think so?"


    Jenny took his hands off her ass. "Nonsense, seriously, don''t you have any thoughts about her? You tell me the truth, and I won''t blame you."


    Even if there is, you can��t nod. If you dare to tell the truth, if you don��t blame me, the sun will come out from the west. Can a woman''s promise be trusted? The woman said it doesn''t matter, does it really? An Feng firmly shook his head. You tell your wife that you hide money from your own house and try it out. Does she not blame you? It would be nice not to kneel on the keyboard tonight!


    "No, I don''t have any thoughts about her."


    "This is your truth?"


    "Of course, I swear." An Feng said with a serious face.


    Jenny stared at him with a sullen face, and suddenly burst into laughter. She touched An Feng''s face: "You are smart. Remember not to have any thoughts about her. Um... let''s do it again, I will empty your Reserve, so that even if you have the heart, you will not be able to arouse interest, and you will not be able to hold your head up!"


    An Feng was dizzy, women are really scary sometimes.


    ��


    Occasionally, some things are self-defeating, such as Jenny''s warning, it''s okay if she doesn''t say it. After saying it, An Feng will aim at the two women intentionally or unintentionally, and compare them together. But his thoughts are quite simple, he is really just curious about who is more perky.


    Joanna is a typical Englishman, with an extraordinary background, full of upper-class Oxford accent, likes to wear skirts and hats, skirts must reach knees, and her clothes are not colorful but stylish. Speaking from experience, want to see her in pants and framed, only when she''s riding a horse.


    He glanced at it inadvertently, it''s okay, I don''t know why Jenny''s eyes are so vicious. To compare the two, Joanna is actually not conspicuous, which may be due to her educational background. Her dress is more stable, and it is not for the purpose of showing her personality. Jenny is the complete opposite. She is definitely a fashionista. Any ordinary clothes and accessories on her can spell out a new trend.


    Jenny''s worry is unnecessary. Although An Feng wants to live the life of rich foreign girls, he just thinks about it��because "thinking" doesn''t take much effort. Based on the experience of those who have experienced it, it is very tiring to deal with one woman. Dealing with four or five can only be fun unless it is a purely money relationship.


    So this kind of laziness has become synonymous with loyalty. Jenny is very satisfied with his performance in this aspect, but he can''t keep up with Jenny''s rhythm. She doesn''t like peaceful days. She likes to wander and chase dreams. While An Feng was riding a horse in a daze, Jenny was looking for opportunities with her computer in her arms.


    An Feng can spend a week repeating something that can be done in half a day, but Jenny can''t stand this kind of boring life. So when An Feng couldn''t think of what he was going to do for several days, the smart Jenny had already found an opportunity through her own efforts.

 Chapter 29： gain some lose some

    Chapter 29 There are gains and losses


    "Congratulations! I got a chance to audition for a supporting actress, and it is said that there are quite a few roles!" Jenny happily informed An Feng.


    "Wow! My baby is going to be famous?" An Feng hugged her and turned around a few times. She kissed An Feng excitedly, but she still said modestly: "It''s just an audition, there are so many competitors, I may not stand out, maybe I will be eliminated in the first round."


    "Don''t worry, you will definitely have a chance." An Feng had great confidence in her. "And then? You need clothes, dress up nicely, don''t you?"


    Jenny nodded: "I want to go out in the best condition!"


    An Feng accompanied Jenny on a trip to Los Angeles. After all, this is his girlfriend''s career. She has pursuits, so he can''t hold back, right? Although he didn''t really like Jenny taking this path in his heart, as a big star, he had to beware of paparazzi every day, and he had to sneak around when making a date? so horrible.


    Thinking so in his heart, but An Feng''s actions are still exemplary. Accompanied throughout the whole process, responsive to requests, and started logistics without complaint or regret. He was also very careful. Considering the ostentation, he went to the car rental company and rented a convertible Ford Mustang sports car to pick her up.


    In addition to being a little selfish when booking a room at the hotel��the soundproofing of Jenny��s apartment is not very good, and Cathy also has a job, so she can��t make her roommate sleep uneasy for her own enjoyment, right? Aside from affecting sleep, how can such a beautiful girl bear it when she goes to work with dark circles?


    After Jenny''s audition, her agent called her with good news.


    "I passed!" Jenny''s face was full of joy, and she stood in front of An Feng with the handset on her mobile phone. Before she hung up the phone, she wanted to share with him immediately.


    "Congratulations!" An Feng held her face and kissed her a few times, "I said a long time ago that you are so hardworking and beautiful, you will seize the opportunity sooner or later."


    "Wait a minute." Jenny put her arm around An Feng''s waist, leaned against him, and held the phone in the other hand: "Ten o''clock tomorrow morning? Well, I see."


    Jenny hung up the phone, put her arms around An Feng''s neck, and tiptoed to kiss him.


    "You are my lucky star! I really got this role! Tell me quickly, this is not a dream, right?" she said excitedly.


    An Feng hugged Jenny, who was a bit childish, smiled and pinched her face, and said, "Did you feel it?"


    "It hurts a bit." She nodded.


    "That''s right, it''s not a dream, your wish has really come true." An Feng pampered her and stroked her messy hair, "Shall we go to a restaurant to celebrate?"


    "Good!" she said.


    ��


    The next day, An Feng acted as the punctual driver and her boyfriend, and sent her to meet her agent. Jenny spent most of the day negotiating the details, and that was it for the day. There are still many things to do in the future, such as negotiating the contract, agreeing on the details, learning the script in advance, etc., Jenny is too busy to lift her head.


    The only one who is leisurely is An Feng. Apart from picking up Jenny on time, he really doesn''t know what he should do. He feels a little bored. Once he got up in the morning and thought about going to brush the horses, but when he walked out of the room and saw the long corridor, he suddenly When I woke up, it turned out that I was still living in the hotel.


    Let��s go shopping. What��s there to do by myself? I��ve already walked all the places I can play with Jenny, and it��s no longer fresh. After driving back, I lay on the hotel bed in a daze. I couldn''t stand it anymore, so I went to a professional store to find some digital products to play with. Under the gracious recommendation of the dealer, I chose a laptop called Alien, which has a rigid shape and looks cool. An Feng thinks that if he likes it, he wants the top-end model, and the salesman keeps praising how powerful it is, such as the fourth-generation i7 processor, 32G memory, dual graphics cards, and 512G SSD, it is invincible.


    An Feng held the heavy laptop, bought a few games, and went back to the hotel to kill time.


    Things changed two days later.


    Jenny has already signed the contract, but according to the arrangement, the shooting location is in New York. She said helplessly: "Honey, I''m afraid I will go to New York with the film crew to stay for a few months. It''s so far away, and we won''t be able to see it for a long time." We met...what do you think?"


    "It''s okay." An Feng said very understandingly. He flipped through the map in his mind, and found that Los Angeles was on the west coast, and New York was on the east coast. The distance between the two places was nearly 4,000 kilometers, across the United States. It was only when he figured it out that he realized, "Damn it, it''s so far away, it would take a long time even by plane."


    "It''s really all right?" Jenny looked at him in disbelief. She was also surprised when she heard the news. She didn''t expect to go so far.


    "I support you in chasing your dreams." An Feng smiled, trying not to put pressure on Jenny, but what he thought in his heart was: Fuck me, what kind of star should I be!


    If Jenny says she quit, give up her career and go home with him to have a baby, and live a leisurely life like a rich man, he promises to kneel down and propose right away, and then go to work hard for the child''s milk powder money, the wife is responsible for enjoying it, and he will take advantage of it Let''s make billions... Unfortunately, it''s not realistic.


    An Feng couldn''t stand her staring, and said helplessly, "Okay, I admit it''s a bit far away, but it''s only five or six hours by plane. I miss you, so I''ll fly over to see you."


    Jenny came over and sat on his lap, grabbed his palm, and said with some anxiety: "I''m worried that we are a little far away, and you will feel uncomfortable."


    "Maybe this will make us miss each other even more?" An Feng smiled and squeezed her palm.


    Jenny didn''t speak, and suddenly pushed An Feng down on the bed, and threw herself on it. After the fierce kiss, she gasped and said, "Hurry up!"


    ��


    In the end, Jenny left. An Feng woke up one morning and found that the person next to his pillow had disappeared, leaving a note on the bed: My dear, I don��t want to wake you up because I��m afraid, take care of yourself, we will meet again met. Love you Jennifer Kelso.


    An Feng put down the note and touched the nail scratches on his body, no wonder she was so crazy last night. I found my pants on the ground, went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face, and ordered breakfast service by the way, took a simple shower, put on a bathrobe and went out, and breakfast just happened to be delivered.


    Watching TV and eating breakfast, An Feng packed his things, went to the car rental company to return the car, and took the plane back to San Luis Obisburg.


    It was Old John who came to pick him up. He was driving an old Chevrolet pickup truck, and when it was a little faster, there was a rattling sound. An Feng was always worried that if he stepped on the accelerator again, it would fall apart. Old John noticed An Feng''s nervous eyes watching his movements from time to time, and patted the car door with a smile: "Don''t look at it panting a little when it runs, but it''s just an appearance. Have you seen the red Ford in front? Pass it in minutes!"


    An Feng laughed, looking at the unchanging blue sky and white clouds outside the window, his mood improved a lot.


    "Bruce, the vineyard will be picked in one month. Have you figured out whether it will be picked by machine or by hand?" Old John asked him.


    "Is the machine faster?" An Feng asked.


    "Yes, but the loss rate of machine picking is much higher than that of manual picking. Of course, manual labor is more time-consuming and more expensive." Old John said.


    "What do you think of the quality of this batch of grapes?" An Feng asked.


    Old John thought for a while before saying: "This year''s sunshine is not bad, and the precipitation is relatively small. I looked at the surrounding gardens. If the high temperature will continue in September, it will be a good season. If you want to prepare wine, stainless steel fermentation equipment It is complete, but more oak barrels need to be purchased.��


    "No, there''s no need, just brew some wine as a stock, and sell the rest." An Feng decided.


    He has his own plan, the technology in his head can''t be wasted, right?


    Old John nodded and had no objection: "You have the final say."

    Two shifts will resume from today, at 12:30 noon and 7:30 pm


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 30： envious of you

    Chapter 30 Envious of you


    I don''t know if it''s an illusion, but after Jenny left, An Feng felt that his life was much more free. He rode a horse, basked in the sun, went to the gun shop in the city for an afternoon when he was bored, and went home with a smell of gunpowder, so he didn''t have to worry about it anymore. Consider the feelings of your girlfriend, who is alone anyway. Is this doomed to be alone forever? An Feng jumped up from the bed, hanging silk has no future! Picked up the phone and called Jenny: "Hi, honey, good morning!"


    "It''s still early? It''s already eleven o''clock here." Jenny''s voice came from the receiver.


    An Feng was lying on the bed in a large font, chatting on the phone: "Please, I''m only here at eight o''clock, okay. The first thing I did when I got up was to call you. When I woke up, I was thinking of you."


    "Oh, I blamed you wrongly. I reward you with a kiss for being so considerate." Jenny kissed on the other end of the phone, "Are you satisfied with this?"


    "It''s okay." An Feng said with a smile, "It would be even better if I could come."


    Jenny on the other end of the phone seemed a little busy. An Feng heard someone calling her name. She was talking with someone. After a while, her voice came: "Oh, sorry, I have a scene to shoot later, so I can''t accompany you You chatted. Let''s do this first, we will continue when we have time at noon. Kiss one, um! Bye!"


    A busy tone came from the receiver, and there was still a lot to say... An Feng reluctantly put down the phone, lazily brushed his teeth and washed his face, made himself a breakfast, and spent an hour thinking whether to walk the dog or ride a horse today? The slow-paced life makes him feel comfortable, but it''s a pity that Jenny doesn''t like the way of doing nothing.


    At noon, a group of young people came to the house. They were all children from the neighbors. After a few parties, they got acquainted. Everyone liked to come to his party for no other reason. How about cold beer? Their family is not without conditions, there are people richer than An Feng, but the adults are always a little uncomfortable at home. But An Feng here is all the same age, the atmosphere is relatively relaxed, and the chat is also speculative.


    Of course, the young people are very sensible and will not come here empty-handed. The dexterous girls bring some snacks, and the boys carry a few dozen beers. An Feng is blessed with good food, he can often taste delicious desserts, or the steaks fried for him when the girls show off their skills. These days are very enjoyable.


    He was wearing a pair of beach shorts and his upper body was bare. He took a bottle of beer from the refrigerator and walked across the living room towards the backyard. There was a row of deck chairs by the pool, and all the girls were wearing bikinis and sunbathing in sunglasses. At first he was not used to it, but since they called him "Old Mister" together, he vowed not to care about it, even if they stripped naked in front of him, they would be at their own risk.


    This sentence of warning is actually not very effective. The girls all bring their boyfriends, and the flower protectors are present, so opening up is just a pleasure for the eyes. And An Feng has strong self-control, he doesn''t know what other people are like, but at least he won''t mess around when he is a boyfriend.


    Because of these points, An Feng has a lot of prestige in the hearts of these brats.


    Rejected the girls'' invitation to him to put on sunscreen, and came to sit down at his teak round table amidst crisp laughter. The location he chose was very good, with a shaded balcony above his head and a clear swimming pool next to it. Occasionally a gust of refreshing wind blows in, drinking beer and playing computer games is the best.


    When I��m bored, I just browse a few Weibo posts, like them, open the web page, and use this top-end computer to play web games. To use a popular saying in the past: it is not at all stuck when sweeping mines. Seeing the notification bar flickering, click on it to see that it was a message from Wu Chao, a college classmate: "Are you still there?"


    "I''m not dead, I''m living very comfortably. Enjoy life, bask in the sun, surrounded by a group of beauties in bikinis, and invite me to apply sunscreen. On such a beautiful day, do you think I can die? Are you willing to die?" An Feng He replied jokingly, adding a lot of smug expressions at the end.


    "Damn it! Is it true? It''s just morning on my side, and I have to hurry to go to work. Why can you surf the Internet while watching beautiful women? It''s not fair!"


    "Believe it or not, there''s still beer. I lived in your beautiful yesterday. Haha, I''m so envious of you! When you go to the company, I''ll hang up the video for you." An Feng replied casually.


    "Wait, clock in and go upstairs." Wu Chao said. After a while, his video request came: "Hurry up and make me envious."


    An Feng turned the computer around with a smile, pointed the camera at the direction of the swimming pool, and just saw a row of girls lying comfortably, or flipping through magazines, or playing with mobile phones, extremely leisurely. At this time, Mary took her best friend Millie to play a double jump on the diving board, and there was a plop, and the flowers were all white.


    He turned the computer back, and Wu Chao on the opposite side yelled with both envy and contempt: "Damn it, you live a corrupt capitalist life, no wonder you seem to have lost a lot of weight."


    "What''s all this about?" An Feng replied speechlessly, "I''ve gained a few pounds, okay?"


    "Don''t quibble, I understand. I was thinking about introducing a beautiful girl to you, but I found myself worrying too much. Hehe, you should pay attention to nourishing your kidneys recently!" Wu Chao replied.


    An Feng was speechless for a while, and Wu Chao''s message popped up again: "I have something to discuss with you."


    "I''ll show you one more minute at most. Your kid is probably at this level." An Feng said.


    "Grass, at least half an hour!" Wu Chao replied excitedly. "Don''t be crooked! I''m not talking about this, let me tell you, my wife and I, and a few classmates have plans to go to the United States for fun-you stimulated me. Thinking of the beautiful weather over there, I''m excited !"


    An Feng said contemptuously: "I still love people, dogs can''t spit out ivory. It seems that Ji Min has taught you very well recently: ''I am Wu Chao, and my name is Wang Wang Wang''."


    Wu Chao and Ji Min are one of the very few couples who can achieve success after graduating from college. No wonder, a wonderful couple, if they don''t get together, there will be no true love in the world. When they were in college, the two went to a hotel to open a room, and played S.M on a whim, but they encountered police rounds. There were too many props, and their hands and feet were tied up, so they couldn��t explain clearly. They were arrested on the spot. Famous, because the strength of the dormitory friends is infinite, why do you need to look at the face when you recognize someone?


    "Get out! The hero doesn''t mention the courage of the past! And I respect my family, okay!" Wu Chao said, he was completely immune, "I''m serious, we are going to go swimming at the beach, since you are free, I will I made an appointment with you in advance! When the time comes, I will eat and drink with you, a big landowner. I heard that there are still vineyards, so remember to prepare a few boxes of red wine for us to try, and we won��t leave if we don��t like it!��


    "If you want to travel to the west coast, I have no problem. I will be your tour guide and take you to experience the local customs. But if it is the east, I am not familiar with it."


    "It''s in the west. You are the laziest kid in college. I didn''t expect to develop in a few years. It''s really rare. We have to watch it."


    "Whatever you want, I will prepare a wine barrel for you, and just throw you in the soak." An Feng replied.


    "It''s a good idea, I''m ready to play it." Wu Chao said.


    "When will we leave?" An Feng looked at the date, and it was only a few days before September. The employees were about to go on vacation, and being a boss might not be easy.


    "We don''t want to collide with the peak travel time of November, so we asked for leave in advance. If everything goes well, we will leave around the 25th. We expect to have fun in San Francisco first, and then go south to meet you."


    "I guess I will go back in mid-September and consider bringing my family over for the holiday. If the time is right, I will be with you."


    "That would be even better, with you leading the way, we''ll be fine if we lead the rope and follow behind, just like a guide dog." Wu Chao said.


    "Soul light!"


    An Feng couldn''t help but sprayed the beer in his mouth on the table.

 Chapter 31： Creativity strikes again

    Chapter 31 Creativity Comes Again


    After arguing with Wu Chao, he had to go to work. It''s afternoon here, but it''s early in the morning in China, and An Feng couldn''t find anyone to talk to, so he called his family overseas, told his father about his thoughts, and picked them up to play. Anyway, I have a lot of free time recently and enjoy the blessings, so I can''t treat my family badly, right?


    The family also has this kind of plan. I heard from my father that Xiaoyu has been making a lot of trouble recently, and the girl is thinking about going out to play with her uncle. Naturally, the idea coincides. An Feng guided some preparations for passport and visa application on the phone. After hanging up the phone, he was still not at ease. He went to the Internet to find a few similar forms, explained how to fill them out one by one, and sent them to his sister''s email address.


    Later, I also received a call from assistant John. He reported on the recent work. Bray Hawke comprehensively reorganized the company. At present, there are two priorities: the first is the review of product launch, and the second is the preparation for mass production. The R&D test of the first batch of samples has been completed, and the effect is remarkable.


    Using Hawke''s words, it is not beyond, but beyond! The effect is so good that it is unbelievable, it is no wonder that those giants were mistaken. Its launch will change the current market pattern, and the company is working hard to prepare for publicity and production, and strive to put it into production next year.


    An Feng listened to a lot, and in short, he is very good, very powerful, and very profitable.


    These are enough.


    After finishing all this, the brats in the yard had had enough trouble, everyone bid farewell to An Feng, leaving a few unlucky guys on duty to clean up the scene. An Feng allowed them to play wildly and cover for them, but the requirement was: you can recover from the trouble you made, and if you can''t do it next time, don''t think about it again.


    The principle of adding sweet dates to a big stick, well, sometimes the black-bellied Ann is too lazy to clean the house, so let them do it...Anyway, everyone likes this kind of cooperation very much. If he was ten years younger, he, An Feng, would be the king of children, leading these brats to pursue their wonderful and colorful youth.


    After everyone left, An Feng rarely thought seriously. He is still holding the mouse, clicking some boring games, but the brain of the machine has started to work. It''s been almost three months, and the repair progress has reached 5%, and many technical entries have translated titles, but unfortunately the content is still confusing.


    His patience is limited, if he can''t figure it out, he simply doesn''t think about it, except for the habit of looking for technologies related to artificial diamonds. The word "lazy" is always at play, or it is a kind of leisurely attitude. If you can''t figure it out and go to the corner, isn''t it against yourself? Just hold this mentality, neither arrogant nor impetuous. It''s like looking for something. The more anxious you are, the less you can find it. When you don''t care about it, it just appears.


    An Feng dug up a bunch of genetic engineering information, there were so many entries, he was not interested in the ones that grow tomatoes on top and potatoes on the bottom. According to the usual practice, the more absurd it means the more advanced the technology, maybe half of the learning will be followed by garbled characters. What he was more curious about was the genetic engineering of grapes, but he didn''t expect to have this.


    Scrolling down layer by layer, the speed seems to be connected to 64kbps broadband unfortunately. Waiting patiently while playing small games, the machine brain is working, and the biological brain is relaxing. This state is most suitable for lazy people... Here comes the content: grapes are edible, and some are used to make wine, and some are specially cultivated to make white wine Wine �� the technology of the future is really a pain in the ass. Wouldn��t it be enough to wait for the grapes to rot in white wine, and set up a special topic?


    There are also quite a few entries for red wine, most of which are meaningless to him. What about that? Excitedly, I downloaded more than ten gigabytes, and when I opened it, I found that it was a gourd baby, and it felt the same as TM coding. Tossing and turning, the consciousness stays on the genetically modified technology of the plant.


    "There is drama!"


    An Feng turned off the mini-game, opened the search engine, and moved his flexible hands on the keyboard. He searched for words such as "PCR instrument" and "electrophoresis instrument", and searched in reality with the content of the machine brain. Although I don''t have the equipment myself, it is not particularly difficult to find.


    These experimental instruments are all related to genetic technology. The genetic technology of grape vines can greatly improve the quality of grapes and overcome the influence of natural conditions to grow. There is a common saying in the red wine industry: the quality of wine depends on grapes and technology. The quality of grapes is largely affected by the climate. Why did the 1982 Lafite get good reviews? The reason is the year.


    In 1982, Bordeaux, France was an excellent year for grape growth. Lafite won 100 points from wine tasting master Robert Parker. Zhuang also got Parker''s high score one after another. The natural environment is affecting the grapes.


    The future planting technology will start from the root, to change the genes of the grapes, so that it has the ability to adapt to the environment and can produce the best quality grapes. And the technology is not too difficult, it''s just a simple transgenic technology. After An Feng browsed through it, he remembered it completely in his mind.


    "That''s it!" An Feng felt that the technology was easy to choose. He took out his mobile phone and called Secretary Lei. He told his request and asked him to find out if it is possible to rent or borrow the equipment needed for genetic engineering. . And then...Ray said sorry to him for the first time and asked him to say it a second time.


    "It''s mainly PCR machines, electrophoresis machines, and centrifuges. I can buy everything else with just these keywords." After An Feng said it again, the other party finally wrote it down.


    After hanging up the phone, he felt that Lei''s job was quite painful. Although the salary was high, when he met a top boss like himself, he didn''t follow the routine at all. He asked for a car one second, and applied for a patent the next second. Later, I asked to find some weird machine nouns... There is no split personality, which is already amazing.


    He decided to give Lei a red envelope during the Chinese New Year, if he is not crazy.


    "Hey, are you in a daze again?"


    Joanna��s voice sounded, and he came back to his senses. He looked up and saw her smiling and standing in front of him holding two plates. He hurriedly closed the computer and put it aside. Joanna put the fragrant roast beef on the table. An Feng smelled the fragrance and praised: "It''s great!"


    "If I don''t remind you, you will forget to eat dinner again, right?" Joanna said with a smile. She knew that An Feng often had this embarrassment of forgetting to eat, especially when someone brought him dessert and soaked in the afternoon. After tea, those with a full stomach are in a daze, and naturally forget the time.


    An Feng forked a piece of beef and chewed it in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Yes." He wouldn''t explain that he was actually using his brain, who would believe that? Who made him always look like Lai Yangyang didn''t want to move. After swallowing the beef, the smile stretched out: "Delicious! Your craftsmanship is really good!"


    "You can really talk." Joanna ate a few mouthfuls with him, but she also felt that her handicraft was very good, and then wiped her mouth with a tissue, her movements were graceful.


    "I''m going to school the day after tomorrow."


    "Oh?" An Feng paused, suddenly realized, "Yes, it''s almost September! Time flies so fast, it was still warm and cool in June when I came here."


    Joanna said: "This holiday was a good one, I want to thank you. Although I am your teacher and coach, you also taught me a lot."


    "You are not bad, we help each other."


    That''s right, Joanna taught him English, equestrianism and etiquette, while An Feng helped her... add hobbies.


    He said responsibly: "In the future, be more cheerful and have more hobbies. Letting go will make you enjoy more joy."


    "I know. How are you going to take care of these horses?"


    An Feng thought for a while: "Let''s find a cowboy to take care of. Don''t worry, even if you don''t become a coach in the future, Angelina may only like to listen to you. Others can''t make her be so good, so as long as you think about it, You can come at any time. Of course, it would be the best to teach me some unique skills by the way."


    "It''s a deal!" Joanna happily wanted to punch him.


    Look, this is at least a hobby, right?

 Chapter 32： go home

    Chapter 32 A trip home


    After a full meal, they talked about equestrianism and hobbies. As long as Joanna is interested, she can talk non-stop. An Feng really admired her eloquence, she nodded her head countless times before she stopped. He entered the room, took a bottle of mineral water, and handed it to Joanna: "You have said so much, let''s moisten your throat first."


    After taking a few sips of water to moisten her throat, Joanna said, "I almost forgot, there is one more thing I didn''t say."


    "There''s more?" An Feng was dumbfounded, didn''t he say enough? It''s really not easy to be a listener, especially when the other party is a bit obsessive-compulsive, you can''t be distracted.


    "It''s not what you think, but I want to ask you to do me a favor." Joanna explained, staring at him suddenly: "Do you think I''m wordy?"


    "No!" An Feng shook his head like a rattle, isn''t this girl too sensitive? "How can I help? No problem."


    "I haven''t said what it is." Joanna felt that he was perfunctory.


    "You can''t ask me to pick the stars, can you?" An Feng asked back. Joanna is always thinking about things, and she never asks others to do things that cannot be done.


    Joanna suddenly smiled again: "You know me. Well, I sold my car and have been driving the family station wagon recently, but I will go to school in a few days, so I plan to buy a new car. I think you are very good at it, maybe you can provide me with some references."


    "Simple, go tomorrow?" An Feng asked her.


    Joanna nodded.


    ��


    When it comes to buying a car, it is as common as eating and drinking for a country that claims to be on car tires. Domestic police stop people to check their ID cards, what about the United States? Checking the driver''s license, they don''t have an ID card or household registration book, only a driver''s license and an SSN, which shows the popularity of cars.


    With high popularity, cars are naturally cheap��so cheap that people are envious and excited, and the price of cars makes it difficult to distinguish which is a developed country and which is a developing country. If the same car is sold for $100,000 in the United States, it may be doubled in China, and it can be sold for more than $200,000.


    Since coming to the United States, An Feng feels that he can adapt quite well, but there are two things he can''t bear the most: lettuce salad and car prices. As for cars, it��s okay if he doesn��t understand anything, but he remembers clearly that domestic prices are always compared with foreign prices unconsciously, and he can��t help but want to buy them when he sees them. This is the same reason that Chinese people go to foreign countries to buy luxury goods every holiday.


    Multiple choice: the same style and quality, half the price, would you buy it or not?


    So when An Feng and Joanna went shopping in the car market, they felt full of malice from the capitalist society.


    Joanna''s car purchase budget is between 50,000 and 60,000. According to the standards of school students, her family must be rich. Because 50,000 can buy most of the cars on the street. Students generally buy second-hand cars, three or four thousand dollars is enough, and more than ten thousand dollars can be replaced by a sports car. For new cars, take the BMW X5 as an example. Many people in China like it, but the low-end version can be bought here for more than 50,000 yuan.


    Although SLO County only has a population of more than 200,000, there are car dealers everywhere, and they are distributed in many cities in the county. An Feng took Joanna for a stroll. She had a wide range of choices, from two-door sports cars, four-door coupes to large SUVs. An Feng gave suggestions one by one.


    Finally, she fell in love with Land Rover-Range Rover Evoque. Land Rover is associated with the royal family. The Queen of England has a special Land Rover car and even drove a Range Rover herself. It used to be the pride of Britain, but it is a pity that it is now sold to the former younger brother-India. But hallelujah, the Land Rover on sale is an American car, made locally.


    As for the Land Rover Evoque, An Feng can complain a lot about it. The Land Rover Evoque is ashamed to use the engine of the Ford Mondeo, hahaha... He thinks that there is nothing to recommend except the appearance - unfortunately women like its stylish appearance, except for the four-door version . This Evoque is a rare two-door version with a dewy white body and matching large 21-inch carbon black wheels. Lamborghini''s body-in-white charcoal wheels are beautiful, aren''t they? That''s the reason.


    Two-door SUVs are rare, they are both sporty and stylish, and they are not as big as four-door models, subverting the tradition that SUVs are only suitable for men. An Feng knew it was a girl''s car at first sight...Joanna was tall and tall, so she stopped by the car, it was perfect! If you want to change into a dress, there is nothing to say about this temperament!


    "What do you think?" Joanna sat in the driver''s seat and turned to look at An Feng.


    An Feng swallowed the words he wanted to complain about, and nodded: "Very... okay. Change to a bright interior, use perfume, and add some shiny crystals to the license plate."


    "Good idea." Joanna nodded.


    An Feng thought that since he was already unscrupulous enough, he simply suggested that she make the car look like a lady driving it at a glance. If you only evaluate the appearance of the vehicle, the front face is handsome and the two doors are cool, he can still give it an 8 out of 10. The style with a bit of softness matches Joanna.


    After accompanying her for a test drive, Anfeng has changed a lot. According to the standards of a woman, it is very comfortable, with a short wheelbase for easy handling, and a small body for easy viewing of the road. As for the rear row without doors, An Feng, who is in his early 1.80 meters, is a bit depressing to sit in, but there is a high probability that the rear row will be reduced to a storage area.


    After making up my mind, I paid a total of more than 50,000 points including insurance, and picked up the car three days later. Joanna was very happy to choose the car she was satisfied with, and invited the hero An Feng to drink tea at the open-air store in Orbisburg. She is very particular about what she drinks, she doesn''t drink coffee, she only drinks tea, usually English black tea. An Feng drank it a few times under her recommendation, and it was a little different from domestic teas, they added a lot of things, such as milk, sugar or honey.


    Of course, drinking tea is not just a cup of tea, it also comes with snacks, biscuits, and fruits. It is most suitable for the afternoon when there is nothing to do, to use a high-end tea set to make black tea, sip snacks, and chat leisurely for an afternoon... From the perspective of being in a daze, An Feng likes this tone very much.


    Eating a piece of stone biscuit that is soft only after brewing tea, and taking another sip of tea, An Feng stretched comfortably. "This is probably one of the few British dining habits that can satisfy me."


    Joanna smiled, she was still self-aware and didn''t get entangled in the issue of British cuisine.


    An Feng chatted with her casually. Inadvertently, he found that most of the people who came to drink afternoon tea were male and female couples, and very few were friends. A thought popped up in her mind, if Jenny was sitting in front of her, she would be able to calm down and talk to herself without thinking about anything...


    Shaking her head, Joanna is still sipping tea gracefully in front of her... For some reason, her quiet demeanor has an indescribable charm.


    An Feng snuffed out this thought, maybe he and Jenny have been separated for too long.


    A few days later, Joanna left, and the brats went to school. The appointment broke up, and the house became empty again, except for Pipi and Eggy.


    An Feng found a lot of things to do for himself, such as riding horses and training dogs, playing guns in the shooting range, typing on the computer when he had time, recording everything that the machine brain can find, and transferring the things that can be used to his mind, and those that are not needed. Delete the ones...Finally, it was the middle of the month, and it was almost time to go back. I handed over the management of the vineyard to Old John, packed my luggage, and flew back to China from Los Angeles.


    Because the time was calculated, it was just in the morning when I returned to China, and I was a little tired, but An Feng returned home like an arrow, and didn''t stay. I flew back to the south non-stop, took a crowded minibus for more than an hour, and returned home sweating profusely. Before he walked out of the station, he saw his father at the door looking up from a distance.


    An Feng trotted over and called "Dad". Dad habitually wanted to help him get things, but he refused with a smile: "This stuff is not tiring. But you, staying here on a hot day is not looking for crimes." Well, it��s good to stay at home! I��m not a three-year-old child, so I��m afraid I��ll get lost?��


    Although I said so, I was very moved in my heart. In the hearts of parents, children may not grow up, right?


    Dad smiled and said: "It''s okay, it''s just been a long time. When I heard that you came back, your mother kept urging me to pick you up. She didn''t even give me a stool. It doesn''t feel like I haven''t come back for a year and a half in China. Going abroad, a month feels longer than a year!"


    An Feng was very moved at first, but when he thought of his father being robbed of the bench, he couldn''t help laughing while covering his stomach.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 33： I can really think about it

    Chapter 33 I really can think about it


    Back home, it was already five o''clock in the afternoon, my sister, brother-in-law, and niece Xiaoyu were all there, and there was a sound of ping-pong-pong in the kitchen, probably my mother was cooking. Seeing An Feng coming in with her father, Xiaoyu opened her dark eyes wide, and it took a second to react, she ran over cheering and hugged her thigh: "Wow, uncle is here! Great, great! Take me away, I don''t want to go to school."


    An Feng froze for a moment, his sister and brother-in-law looked embarrassed. He hurriedly put down his luggage, and hugged the little girl with both hands smiling. The elder sister also stood up and stared at Xiaoyu deliberately: "Why are you talking! It''s for your own good that I let you go to school. Is your **** itchy again recently?"


    "Look, uncle!" Xiaoyu put his arms around An Feng''s neck, and with a backer, he was able to pretend to be a tiger, "Look at her being so fierce, I don''t want to go to school!"


    Dad watched happily from the sidelines, the title of the little mischief is not for nothing, as long as he becomes very smart when he is mischievous, he used to use his grandparents as a shield if he messed with his parents, but now his mother sees the trick Then, he aimed at his uncle again, this trick simply didn''t work.


    "If you make trouble again, you will be spanked." My sister resorted to her trump card.


    Xiaoyu yelled: "Look, there''s this one! She cheated and said she had to count to three when she spanked her ass, but she spanked every time she counted to two!"


    An Feng was stunned, and the trick of emotion is also inherited. As long as he made trouble when he was a child, he often received the last treatment from his mother. At that time, he was very stupid, and he would only cry when he was beaten, unlike Xiaoyu now, who learned to sue adults. But my sister is also very wronged. Now all the children are like babies. The little ancestors in the family, grandparents are very spoiled. How often is it not just a show?


    "Hahaha, Xiaoyu is really smart!" An Feng laughed, "But with uncle here, mom won''t beat you."


    "Uncle is the best." Xiaoyu smiled and wanted to kiss him.


    An Feng sat down with Xiaoyu in his arms, looked at the luggage on the ground, and said, "I''ll bring you a little gift from abroad, see if you like it?"


    He didn��t bring much this time. He bought them all from the duty-free shop at the airport. He walked around in a hurry and brought two cigarettes, some good-looking brand-name cosmetics, and COACH bags. During the last chat, my sister wanted to buy these things, but luckily he remembered it in the last ten minutes.


    "Wow, so many surprises!" My sister couldn''t put it down holding her bag, looking at cosmetics, and my brother-in-law looked at two Chinese cigarettes, and shared them with my dad. Even Xiaoyu also got a bunch of snacks, these were bought only after returning to China, Anfeng didn''t have so many bags to carry.


    The mother who was busy in the kitchen heard the yelling in the living room, and came out in doubt. Everyone was either studying the foreign characters on the package or swallowing clouds, and there was the crisp sound of Xiaoyu chewing potato chips. The black eyes under the eyebrows and bangs stared at them. On the contrary, An Feng shrugged and said that there was no way.


    My mother asked: "Xiaofeng, what do you want to eat? There are chicken, duck and fish."


    "Ah? No, no, no! I won''t eat it!" An Feng shook his head vigorously, "Leave these to Xiaoyu, I want white rice and fried vegetables! Two big plates!"


    An Feng''s wonderful request attracted everyone''s attention.


    My sister asked worriedly: "Oh, have you spoiled your brain by eating abroad?"


    "What!" An Feng couldn''t help but laugh, the imagination is too rich, right? He explained: "In foreign countries, I eat meat three meals a day, and I have long been tired of it. The vegetables I occasionally come into contact with are raw. Foreigners like to eat salads. Those dishes are not cooked, and they are eaten with seasoning like beef. Swallow it into your stomach like grass."


    After hearing his description, everyone was speechless for a while, and they had to put it in the country, let alone salads, those vegetables bought in the market were not clean, and they might cause stomach upset if they were cooked and eaten. As a result, the big meal prepared to welcome An Feng in the evening turned sour. Others ate meat, and An Feng monopolized the vegetables and rice from the farm.


    After eating, he touched his stomach and burped: "It''s great! Eat vegetarian food for another three or four days, so that the good appetite for delicious food can be reactivated."


    Everyone laughed and wondered how An Feng lived in the United States. If you let them know that this guy is lazy every day and is either basking in the sun or in a daze after finishing what he wants to do, he will probably get unanimous blank stares from everyone. How dare you shout when you live so comfortably?


    Later, when it came to the issue of going abroad, An Feng asked: "Is the passport processing going smoothly?"


    The brother-in-law took out the passport book and handed it to An Feng: "It''s all done, parents, your sister, and me, there are four copies in total, the children don''t need it. The three-party kinship certificate and notarization are also in hand, so I put them in it. It��s time to make an appointment for a visa now.��


    "It''s pretty fast." An Feng flipped through his passport.


    My sister shook her head: "Hurry up? If it wasn''t for this guy''s contact with the police and some money, it would take twenty or thirty days to get the passport."


    An Feng had nothing to say, and talked about the role of money everywhere.


    My sister looked at the white passport and asked worriedly: "You said that when we go abroad for the first time, the whole family chooses the United States. Will the visa be rejected? I have seen many examples on the Internet. The son and daughter-in-law passed, but the parents But it was rejected, or the other way around, it would be dismantled."


    An Feng smiled and said: "It''s because the visa officer is worried that the family will tear up the passport and disappear in a flash, so they will refuse the visa, but don''t worry, your property certificate will reduce the visa officer''s doubts, and I brought If you provide your own information and certificates, your visa will not be refused.��


    The focus is on An Feng''s personal information. He is a wealthy man with land and a company. Even if he wants to immigrate, as the boss, he can guarantee a few work visas. Do you need to tear up the book? So this level is a bit difficult for others, but it is very easy for An Feng.


    After learning that there was no major problem with the visa, they all breathed a sigh of relief. My sister said, "The arrangement is like this for the time being. Parents will go abroad with you first, and then we will take Xiaoyu out after the holiday."


    An Feng just wanted to agree, Xiaoyu called out: "No, I want to be with my uncle!"


    "Don''t make trouble, this is serious business!" said the brother-in-law.


    "No, you lied to me last time, I don''t believe it!" Xiaoyu refused to let go, so she cried and cried, and the whole family couldn''t do anything about her.


    An Feng asked his sister: "Does she really dislike school so much?"


    My sister sighed: "It wasn''t caused by the teacher at that school. Xiaoyu just entered the first grade of elementary school and didn''t adapt well to the environment. As a result, she was scolded by the teacher for being mischievous. It may be that the teacher spoke a little harshly, more than once. Later, she I just hate the school and the teachers, after all, in this small county, the quality cannot keep up with the city. Your brother-in-law and I have a headache and want to send her to study in the city, but the child is only six years old, how can we rest assured?"


    "Uncle, the teacher hit my palm! It hurts so much!" Xiaoyu said aggrievedly as she unfolded her right palm to An Feng.


    The small hands are so fleshy that no scars can be seen, but that being said, if there are scars, this matter will not be so easy to calm down. An Feng thought for a while, and asked: "If you send them to school in the city, you will probably have to take them with you, but I have to remind you that today''s children go to school differently than we did back then. They pay attention to the school district, household registration, and There are a lot of interest classes and cram schools, my parents don��t know much about these.��


    The brother-in-law said helplessly: "What can I do? Now every parent is fighting for the starting line. There are a lot of key elementary schools. If you don''t go to cram schools and interest classes, how can you compete with others in the future? I also heard Yes, the children in this city have more homework than I did when I was in junior high school."


    My sister gave him a blank look: "You are ashamed to say that you have a lot of homework at the level you were in school. When did you not copy someone else''s work? It also ruined my brother."


    An Feng and his brother-in-law became embarrassed. They had known each other for a long time. Before the brother-in-law got involved with his sister, An Feng, who was still in elementary school, used his brother-in-law''s name when he went to fights. My brother-in-law helped me with my summer homework, and he said that my sister asked me to do it, but I was really struggling.


    An Feng scratched his head: "Hahaha, let''s get down to business, how do you deal with Xiaoyu''s matter?"


    You look at me and I look at you, there is no consistent way. Staying here, Xiaoyu is so resistant, and the local education environment is not very good, parents love their children, and now they have some spare money, hoping to let her live better. But when I went to the city, I felt helpless when I thought of the kind of cramming education.


    Seeing that they had no choice, An Feng simply said: "If you want me to say, just send Xiaoyu abroad. No matter how you make up for it, how many interest classes you attend, whether you are an official or rich, the starting line is different from the day the child is born. Although going abroad It��s also black, and the school also talks about public and private, but at least they care about children��s education.��


    "Teaching abroad is naturally better, but is this method feasible?" My sister was shocked by this bold idea, and so were the others. Going abroad, can you really think about it?


    "Anything is fine, as long as you have money. As long as you are willing, even if you are not allowed to study abroad, can''t I just apply for immigration for her?" An Feng said confidently. He doesn''t have much money now because he is lazy. Because there is no pressure, if there is pressure, can you stop him?


    The elder sister and brother-in-law looked at each other, and the elder sister said, "We have to think long-term about this matter."


    An Feng nodded: "It doesn''t matter. It doesn''t mean that if you want to leave tomorrow, you can leave tomorrow. The child is still young. Let her learn Chinese for a year or two, learn her mother tongue well, and save her from forgetting her roots after going abroad. Those ABC bananas are the same, they can speak English, and the yellow skin and white flesh are not worth it."


    An Feng''s idea won everyone''s approval.


    Then Xiaoyu was very happy, and put her arms around Anfeng''s neck and shook it: "That''s great, I''m going abroad! I want to play with my uncle!"


    An Feng shook his head and smiled: "Then you have to promise uncle that you will listen to your parents and go to school honestly, okay? Otherwise, I won''t take you there."


    The little girl was very scared, and she repeatedly promised that she would be obedient.

 Chapter 34： god are you playing with me

    Chapter 34 My God, Are You Playing With Me?


    After making an appointment for the visa, it is only the last few steps before leaving the country. When An Feng was free at home, he took Xiaoyu to and from school for a few days for his brother-in-law. The girl was quite reluctant to go to school at first, but to put it bluntly, her uncle was a little more fun than her father, so Xiaoyu became obedient.


    He visited the elementary school where Xiaoyu attended. The conditions were very average. The school was rebuilt on the basis of his childhood elementary school. Walking on the campus path, he was full of memories. He fought here and fell on that tree. Yes... But after all, it''s been a long time, and the level of software and hardware can''t keep up.


    If you want to go to the city, it will take one and a half to two hours by car, but the schools in the city pay attention to household registration and school districts, and it is impossible to find a suitable one. It is said that there is a trend in some schools, if the parents don��t give the teacher a red envelope, he will deliberately let the children sit in the back row, or sit in the corner of the side... It��s really sad to think about it.


    It''s not difficult to send Xiaoyu to study, but I still have to consider my sister and brother-in-law. When the child goes out, the parents must follow. Can they adapt to life abroad? Not to mention my sister, she is a junior high school English teacher, and even An Feng''s original level can be mixed, she will go to the United States to stay for a month or two, absolutely no problem. The brother-in-law is a bit difficult, and he still stays at the level of "playing with the rabbit and killing the donkey Buddha", so he has to work hard to deal with it.


    Another point is work. The elder sister''s family is not a snobbish relative, and they think that if An Feng is rich, he will depend on him for the rest of his life. An Feng''s parents are not highly educated, but they are simple in nature. They often teach their children to work hard if they want to get something. My sister''s family must be working. They are worried about going there. They don''t know the people well and the language is not good enough. What can they do? Maybe it will have a greater impact on the children.


    After all, not everyone has such superior conditions as An Feng, and if they have money, they can go wherever they want. There are parents in the family, and the children have run away. What should the parents do? There are a lot of problems, and An Feng feels a headache. If he really wants to go out, he can provide work and environment. The only thing that cannot be changed is the habit. The elderly are used to life in China, and it may be difficult for them to adapt to a foreign country.


    Later, my dad couldn''t stand it anymore: "When you do things, you just talk about it neatly. What are you doing? Your mother and I are not in our 70s and 80s and can''t move. We are still in good shape. I drive to deliver goods every day. I don��t see you worrying about me not getting used to it! Think about yourself first!��


    My mother also said: "Yes, think about yourself first. For us old men and old ladies, we can live casually. Xiaofeng has given us a lot of money now, and we are living comfortably! A while ago, your father planned not to do transportation. Finally, buy a small car to travel around, go abroad when you are tired of playing at home, and help you take care of your children by the way. You can eat those wheat breads, do we vomit after eating them? "


    An Feng jokingly said: "Look! Mom and Dad know how to enjoy themselves better than us. The world travel plan has come out. Maybe we are holding back!"


    The elder sister and brother-in-law are relatively silent, and when they meet enlightened parents, the problem is all on their own.


    An Feng patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder and said, "Don''t worry about work. I have a vineyard and a company under my command. If you want to go there, I will apply for a work visa for you. What do you want to do? The life in the vineyard is more comfortable, and I can give it to you." You manage and take a certain share. Or work in a company in a big city, from 9 to 5. The company is a joint venture between me and others. It is just starting now, but it has huge potential."


    Whether it is a vineyard or Tailan Company, Anfeng will inject super technology. As long as the manager is not an idiot, isn��t advanced technology still not competitive? This is simply a false proposition. And relying on the technology in the head, companies and enterprises are absolutely indispensable, even if they just take shares, they can live without worrying about food and drink for a lifetime.


    After discussing with her sister and brother-in-law, they finally made up their minds. The brother-in-law said: "We will not miss the opportunity. We will go and see the environment first. Xiaofeng also said, let Xiaoyu learn Chinese for another year or two. Don''t forget about it when you go out." You have lost the tradition. Your sister and I have also figured it out. To be a man, you have to be ambitious. You can��t stay in a small town all your life, right? It��s good to go out and see the world, and make a splash while you��re young!��


    "That''s right, Americans don''t earn money for nothing!" An Feng said with a smile.


    ��


    The family flew to S City and stayed in a local five-star hotel. The original plan was to stay in an ordinary three-star hotel, but An Feng would not care about these drizzles, especially after the US dollars were converted into .RMB, the numbers felt extraordinarily large. Throwing thousands of dollars down, it''s a trivial matter.


    After fighting with his little niece in the hotel room and coaxing her to watch cartoons on the computer, An Feng took out his computer and contacted his classmates online. This time there is no jet lag, the time corresponds, and the chat is very convenient. It was learned that there were still three days before Wu Chao and Ji Min could get their holidays, and then they had to rush to get visas. However, this is not the first time for the couple to go abroad, so the chances of passing are still very high.


    In addition, An Feng''s best friend, Wang Le, who has already obtained a degree, also plans to travel. He just couldn''t see An Feng''s comfort, and clamored to get a share of the pie. It was said that it was of an academic research nature, but An Feng probably lied to his family to get more activity funds. This guy has money in his family, and when it comes to academics, his parents are not generally generous. When I was in college, I invited my roommates to the nightclub for "academic exchanges" all night.


    There are other students who have plans, but they can��t keep up with the schedule, and some of them have used up their annual leave, so they can only give up next time. After withdrawing from them all night, this group of students did well after graduation. It is true that they came out of 211 University. The gold content is still a bit, and some people partnered to do a big business.


    The next day, I went to the consulate for an interview according to the scheduled time, while An Feng stayed in the safe area idly waiting, playing with his mobile phone, when suddenly the phone rang, and it was an overseas call from the United States. The number is somewhat familiar... He answered the phone.


    "Hi, is that Bruce?"


    "Jenny?" An Feng said in surprise, the number in the United States has been shut down, and now the number of the domestic communication company is used, and few people know it.


    "Old John told me that I couldn''t reach you by phone, so I called him." Jenny said.


    "Oh, so that''s the case." An Feng remembered that he gave Old John a piece of information, which included his various communication methods.


    "Are you in China now?" she asked.


    "Yes, I will go back to China to accompany my parents."


    "I''m at Los Angeles Airport. I just got off the plane. I wanted to surprise you." Even though the tone was very flat, An Feng could still hear the disappointment in her words.


    "Oh, my God!" An Feng scratched his head, "Sorry, honey, I really didn''t know you would come here at this time, I..."


    "It''s okay, I didn''t notify you in advance." Jenny tried to smile and said. "When will you be back?"


    "At least four days later, if all goes well." An Feng said.


    "Oh, that''s it, I''m going back to New York in three days, and there''s only three days off."


    God, are you playing with me? An Feng was powerless to complain, he found a place to sit down, calmed down and said: "It''s really unfortunate. But you can come, this is the biggest surprise for me. Next time, I will go when I go back How about looking for you, dating you, and giving you the whole day?"


    "That''s a great idea." Jenny laughed, "But I''ll be very busy recently, and the focus of the crew''s filming is on me, so I''m very stressed. You''d better not come at this time, I''m afraid that I will be in a bad mood and affect It''s you. And I take off my makeup at night, so ugly."


    "Don''t worry, just like before, I believe you are the best if you can overcome it." An Feng encouraged, "But I listen to you."


    "Well, you are very kind." Jenny said affectionately.


    "Where are you going now? Why don''t you go back to SLO, Pipi and Dandan must miss you."


    "I also want to kiss them. Unfortunately, I don''t have enough time, so I can only live with Cathy in Los Angeles. But it''s okay, I can relax for a few days." Speaking of this, Jenny smiled ambiguously, together with An Feng also felt the hint of a couple in her words, and couldn''t help laughing.

 Chapter 35： Got home

    Chapter 35 Home


    After talking on the phone for a long time, it was not until Jenny returned to the apartment she shared with Cathy that she said goodbye. After hanging up the phone, he turned around and saw that his sister and brother-in-law were standing not far behind him, with smiles on their faces. An Feng was embarrassed and felt his cheeks burn. Brother-in-law is hard to say, but my sister can understand English, and I have expressed American-style love on the phone a lot just now.


    My sister came over and touched him with her arm: "Aren''t you going to talk?"


    "Say what?" An Feng pretended to be confused.


    "Stop it!" My sister rolled her eyes, "You bully us because you don''t understand English, how can you still lie to me? Dear, can you cover up your love for tiger oil?"


    "Haha." An Feng laughed a few times, "If I said that I was bored practicing English on the phone, and accidentally got into a drama, would you believe me?"


    Everyone shook their heads unanimously, even Xiaoyu who usually turned to him also shook his head with the adults.


    Finally, under repeated bombardment by his family, An Feng still surrendered and confessed something to satisfy their gossip. It''s a pity that we couldn''t meet Jenny during this trip. Even my mother complained that it should be earlier, but they didn''t know that they were worried that Xiaoyu would go to school and said that they couldn''t be so many days earlier!


    ��


    The 11th long holiday has not yet arrived, An Feng first took his parents and Xiaoyu to set off. The little girl asked for leave directly from the school. Anyway, elementary school students don''t have much content in class, so I will make up when I come back. Xiaoyu will show it, she has learned something in advance, and shows that she can keep up. However, my sister and brother-in-law did not set off together, and my sister still had to teach the students, so my brother-in-law could only accompany her and come back after the official holiday.


    On the flight from S City to Los Angeles, An Feng bought a relatively comfortable business class ticket for his family. The flight of more than ten hours was a big test for his neck. If the first class was not full, he would not mind enjoying it. . Because Xiaoyu was worried that her uncle would not take her to play, she was very quiet along the way. When receiving the meal, she politely greeted the "flight mom"��there are quite a few flight attendants at the level of aunts in American airlines.


    This is still advanced in China.


    ��


    Arrived at LAX airport, waited for a long time before picking up the luggage, complained about the speed of the airport, did not stop, and continued to transfer to the flight from Los Angeles to SLO. More than an hour later, when he walked out of St. Louis Airport, he saw an F150 approaching. Old John in a blue and white plaid shirt and a cowboy hat got off the car. An Feng hugged him.


    "This is the daughter of my parents and my sister." An Feng introduced.


    "Hi, everyone!" Old John greeted.


    An Feng said: "I''m sorry, they don''t understand English." As soon as the words fell, Xiaoyu waved his hand and said "Hello", which made the old John laugh and wave to the little girl.


    Because long-term parking is not allowed at the gate of the airport, everyone got in the car and left.


    Looking at the rolling hills along the way, a large stretch of endless vineyards, and passing through rows of low-rise cities... Dad suddenly smiled and said: "I have heard how good and developed the United States is. Come and see it for real. Why are they all like small counties in China?"


    An Feng turned around and said: "Basically, it''s like this. Los Angeles, which is known as the second largest city in the United States, you will feel that it is a big countryside when you walk out of the city center. Americans have different life concepts from us. The high-rise buildings in the city center are just for working Wherever there are rich people live in the suburbs.��


    My father understood a little, and my mother looked at the houses along the way, pointed and said, "Look, old man, isn''t this just a small foreign-style building in China? It looks like it''s still made of wood, not strong." Dad took a look and hit the nail on the head Said: "If there is a strong wind, it is estimated that the roof will be blown away."


    "Dad, you are so wise!" An Feng said with a smile.


    On the contrary, Xiaoyu, who is lively and mischievous on weekdays, is very quiet. She looks a little tired, leaning against the car door and looking at the unchanging blue sky outside the window, her eyelids are clenched. After about forty minutes, the car passed through Paso Robles and drove on a flat straight road. Everyone was attracted by the neat vineyards on both sides.


    October is the season when the grapes are ripe. The car passes through the sea of ??grapes, and the beautiful scenery fills the field of vision. The wineries along the way have decorated their facades beautifully, with rows of towering green trees and a large area of ??soft grass. Grass, pick up the camera, and just take a picture is a classic computer desktop.


    This fresh and slightly romantic atmosphere has conquered everyone.


    "It''s so beautiful!" Mom said with emotion.


    "It''s so beautiful." Even Xiaoyu, who was dozing off, became refreshed.


    After getting home and getting out of the car, Xiaoyu took her mother''s hand, pointed to a tree and shouted: "Grandma, look there, one, two, three, four, five... so many birds!"


    "Old John, I''m sorry, would you like a glass of water?" An Feng said.


    "No, I have to ask someone to check the electrical equipment in the wine cellar." Old John smiled and refused, waved at them, changed into his Chevrolet and left.


    "Let''s go!" An Feng pulled Xiaoyu, who was happily counting birds, through the garden-like yard to the house covered by vegetation.


    "What a big house!" Xiaoyu opened her mouth wide.


    "Do you like it?" An Feng picked her up, walked into the room with a smile, "Uncle will take you in to find a room, as long as you like it, it''s yours, how about it?"


    Mom and Dad fell behind, looking around with strange expressions on their faces, and a word of praise from time to time. The yard and the house have been repaired three times before and after, and many plants have been transplanted, making it more lively and agile on the original basis, as if in a paradise, which makes people linger.


    As soon as they entered the door, Pipi and Eggy rushed over and wanted to pounce on An Feng, so scared that Xiaoyu covered her eyes, An Feng put her down, rubbed the two dogs'' heads, and said to Xiaoyu: "Don''t worry, Pipi and Dandan Balls don��t bite, you touch them? They��re very smart, and they can even pick up flying saucers!��


    Xiaoyu stretched out her small hand to touch Pippi''s furry head. Pipi sniffed her scent, licked and licked her little hand, and Eggy also shook her head and came closer. Xiaoyu dispelled the fear in her heart and touched them and asked his uncle, "Can they really pick up flying saucers?"


    An Feng found two plastic flying saucers, shook them in front of Dandan, gave it a sniff, and then threw them lightly. The flying saucers spun through the spacious hall, and Dandan chased after him reflexively. When the flying saucer disappeared in the backyard, not long after, an agile black figure ran back with the flying saucer in its mouth. Eggy put the flying saucer at An Feng''s feet, wagging its tail and looked up at him with a fawning look.


    "So smart!" Xiaoyu applauded.


    "These two little black dogs are really clever." Dad also saw this scene.


    An Feng squatted down with a smile and rubbed Dandan''s head, then turned to them and said, "These two guys are not ordinary little black dogs, they are both bloodhounds with blood. It''s a small thing to pick up flying saucers. When they grow up a bit, I want to Take them to hunt, catch hares for me, what fun do foxes have!"


    Then I took Xiaoyu upstairs and downstairs for a long time, until she chose a room she was satisfied with (mainly where she could see small animals), An Feng went downstairs, and the voice of his mother who was visiting the kitchen on the first floor came Lai: "Xiaofeng, have all your ingredients been stuffed in the refrigerator?"


    "Yes what''s the matter?"


    "A lot of them stink, you left them for too long." Mom said.


    "It should be that Old John and the others didn''t help me finish eating." An Feng went over to look, and more than half of it was missing, but there were still some that they couldn''t finish.


    An Feng threw away all the smelly things, and his mother scolded him for a while, saying that he shouldn''t buy so many things, and they broke up after eating them, which was a waste of money. Then I took some edible food and gave it to my dad to wash it. The two old people studied together in the kitchen, and soon made some Chinese dishes from the western kitchen, such as stir-fried beef with green peppers, fried pork ribs, etc. , the only thing missing is the fragrant rice.


    No way, he wants to eat but there is no material, and no one will make it for him. Now that my mother is here, she can feel the deliciousness of Chinese food while eating bread and ribs.


    "Good days are coming." An Feng cheered, holding a slice of bread, "I''ll go look around tomorrow and buy a few bags of rice and a rice cooker."

 Chapter 36： play

    Chapter 36 Gameplay


    The whole family is together, and everything is going well. The only thing that An Feng needs to worry about is explaining the origin of these properties. He made up many reasons, starting from winning the lottery in China, to the funds obtained from foreign research and development patents, and the cost of transferring patents, etc. Wait, I talked so much that I finally made this lie come true.


    The next morning, An Feng ate the poached eggs fried by his mother and drank a glass of milk, then changed his clothes and took his father to the stable to feed the horses. Dad couldn''t wait a long time ago. He often rode horses when he was young, so he was naturally interested in this. He had chatted with An Feng for a long time before coming. Seeing that everyone was leaving, Xiaoyu thought it was fun and chirped to keep up. The last family came to the stables on dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles.


    Old John hired a part-time cowboy for the racecourse. He was a young man in his twenties named Howard. He worked in a nearby vineyard and got close to Old John, so he was invited to work part-time with a monthly salary of 1,500 to take care of these horses. Three meals in the morning, noon and evening, and grass for the rest of the time depends on the situation.


    Howard came very early. An Feng just woke up in the morning, and he arrived in an old two-door Ford pickup. By the time An Feng finished his breakfast and took his family down, he was about to call it a day. When Lu met a young man who came out of the stable, An Feng greeted him: "Hi, you are the cowboy that Old John found, right?"


    "It''s me, my name is Howard." He nodded.


    Howard looked a little shy and didn''t like to talk much, but he saw that the stables were cleaned very clean, the horses were brushed again, the pasture and carrots were fresh, and the work was very good, better than An Feng himself A lot, he praised with satisfaction: "Good job!"


    Howard said with some hesitation: "I will let these horses out to exercise every day, so that they can maintain a sufficient amount of exercise, but I didn''t discuss it with you in advance, do you mind?"


    "It doesn''t matter, you are right to do this." An Feng glanced at him, "If you like, you can also train them."


    "Thank you!" Howard''s face brightened, he seemed to be a horse lover.


    An Feng chatted with Howard for a while, and he hurried back to the vineyard in the morning. An Feng told his father some precautions. There is no need to worry about his riding skills. The main reason is that he has different habits. These warm-blooded horses are not necessarily obedient. For example, Philip, others are very resistant to riding them.


    He brought out a most docile Quarter Horse, and his father also turned over in a decent manner. An Feng followed carefully and watched, and saw that he skillfully pinched the horse''s belly with his legs, grabbed the rein and walked away. It took a while to relax. Dad''s posture is a bit odd, but he can handle the horse.


    "Uncle, I want to ride a horse too!" Xiaoyu kept shaking his hand.


    "Okay, okay!" An Feng said with a smile.


    Seeing that An Feng brought out a group of tall bay horses, my mother said with some concern, "You have to be careful."


    "I''ll pay attention." An Feng first rode Philip for a slow walk, and then a fast run. When it became active, he got off the horse and hugged Xiaoyu up. Although he has great confidence in Philip, he is still very careful, and no one can guarantee that accidents will happen.


    Philip walked slowly, and Xiaoyu cheered: "Yeah, it''s so high here!"


    She was happy, but An Feng was always worried. If he had known about it, he would have brought out Angelina, who was more docile. Philip sometimes has a temper, and would run around when no one was riding him. Fortunately, Xiaoyu''s excitement was limited. Ten minutes later, she was safely sent to the ground.


    After no worries, An Feng let go of riding Philip to perform. He rode Philip and galloped around the barrel at high speed. When its body was at an angle of almost 30 degrees to the ground, An Feng''s body was still perpendicular to the ground. Not only is it exciting for yourself, but even the people who watch it feel thrilled.


    Dad also wanted to learn, but he gave mom a lesson, saying that he was too old to be crazy like young people, and he would definitely go to the hospital if he fell down. Dad finally dismissed this idea. But I am also very happy to be able to ride around on horseback every day and look at the large and beautiful vineyards around me.


    After playing for two days, it was Xiaoyu''s turn to wish.


    The little girl is nothing more than thinking about Disneyland. In the past two days, An Feng and her father went riding a horse, and she watched cartoons on the computer at home. Today''s children are smarter, they can use all kinds of computers, mobile phones, and tablets, and they can even go online to find bears to see. After watching some Chinese and American cartoons under An Fengxia, she was full of yearning for Disney, and pestered her grandma to watch Mickey Mouse and Snow White.


    An Feng has nothing else to do recently, and he also wants to drop by the Chinese supermarket in Los Angeles to buy a few bags of rice and pots and pans that are only available in China. Drive in. Listening to the little girl''s laughter all the way, it took more than three hours to arrive in Los Angeles. When I found Disneyland, it was already noon, but seeing the anticipation in Xiaoyu''s eyes, I still parked the car in the parking lot.


    Although there are many cars in Los Angeles, it is not very difficult to park here. The parking lot in the vicinity can be called a giant. It is distributed around the park and is as huge as a football field. It is enough to cope with the parking pressure of any peak period, but there is no The country is so stingy, and all commercial areas are used to build buildings.


    Disneyland in Los Angeles is divided into two theme parks: Disneyland and California Adventure. It can be said to be the ultimate place for children to play. In this dreamlike fairy tale world, children''s laughter is full of laughter. Even adults can''t help but arouse the childlike innocence that has disappeared for many years.


    In Disney, there are no fewer adults than children. Some adults don��t even have a child around, and come to play in their own teams. There are also some parents pushing baby carriages and wandering around with tired children. Xiaoyu was tired from walking, so she cleverly took them to the carriage and sightseeing train.


    An Feng originally planned to visit Disneyland in two days, but he found that there was not enough time at all. It took two days for one of the theme parks, and there was an adventure park left. The roller coaster, Ferris wheel, etc. The adult had the cheek to play with Xiaoyu for another two days.


    Not only An Feng, but also many older people having fun, including parents. Taking a submarine to visit the underwater world, the adventure park is very suitable for adults. An Feng took hundreds of photos for them with a camera. In the evening, he took a photo with Sleeping Beauty Castle, the classic beginning of the Disney movie.


    After Xiaoyu and Mickey Mouse bid farewell, Anfeng drove to Chinatown in Los Angeles. His parents were pressing the camera shutter along the way. The streets were full of Chinese, and the yellow people who passed by were full of dialects. The architectural style was more like that of Hong Kong. On the other side, there are many familiar Chinese snack bars in the local area.


    Out of curiosity, it is inevitable to take everyone to taste Chinese food in the United States. Some tastes are quite authentic, but the portions are small, and the amount of rice is only a few mouthfuls. Most of them are for Americans to try. It is suitable for children. , You will be full after eating, and you will not waste food.


    After a full meal, go to the supermarket. The Chinese supermarket in Chinatown is a major feature. The products inside are marked in both Chinese and English, and some product packaging is directly in Chinese. Finally, the magical dad actually found the "fifty-six Rare items such as "Duhongxing Erguotou" and "Niulanshan Erguotou".


    An Feng held the wine bottle and said with a smile: "I guess these three drinks can knock down a foreigner! Good stuff, I''ll get more, I''ll need it in the future."


    Facts later proved that this thing is really fierce!


    The family felt the hustle and bustle of the country in the Chinese supermarket. After buying a bunch of goods, they also bought necessities such as rice and rice cookers. When they returned, everyone was pushing a small trolley in their hands, and even Xiaoyu had a bag of candy in his hand. . General cars are expected to be affected by some, but the role of pickup trucks has been interpreted. The oversized rear bucket can easily load these items, drive back to the hotel, take away the gifts and clothes bought in the past few days, and return with a full load.

 Chapter 37： everyone here

    Chapter 37 Everyone is here


    On the night of returning to the vineyard, An Feng received a call from his old classmate Wu Chao. He and Ji Min arrived in the United States three days ago, but they have been visiting San Francisco. They plan to go south tomorrow, and the first stop is An Feng. As the central point of San Francisco and Los Angeles, it can go south and north, with convenient transportation.


    Then the news of Wang Le also came. He said that he had already boarded the plane and expected to arrive in Los Angeles in more than ten hours. When he learned that Wu Chao and Ji Min''s couple had come to meet him, Wang Le canceled the plan to play in Los Angeles first. Plan, after asking about the flight number, will also transfer to SLO.


    Finally, the news from my sister and brother-in-law. Coincidentally, they are preparing their luggage and they will arrive around tomorrow afternoon. An Feng made up a timetable, and tomorrow morning, noon and afternoon are full, it is absolutely amazing, it is estimated that the whole day will be spent picking up and dropping off guests.


    The next day, seeing that the time was almost up, I drove out and arrived at SLO Airport in more than 40 minutes. The airport is very ordinary, probably smaller than the station in the county seat, and there are not many people there. The flights that land are all small passenger planes, transporting 20 or 30 people in one round trip. After waiting for half an hour in boredom, his eyelids were twitching. He was too tired from playing these days, and he didn''t get enough rest last night. He only felt someone walking towards him at the exit.


    "An Feng?"


    It wasn''t until the Chinese name sounded that he woke up in a jerk. When he looked up, he saw Wu Chao and Ji Min, both with large bags and a trolley case in their hands. Ji Min was also wearing a pair of sunglasses and a cool long skirt. . An Feng hurried forward, hugged Wu Chao, let go of him to look at the two of them, and joked: "Is this a sweep or a move? Why do you look like an African refugee?"


    Wu Chao smiled wryly: "Didn''t you see that a lot of things are cheap? It''s okay if you don''t look at them. Once you look at them, it looks like you''ve eaten Xuanmai. You can''t stop your hands at all. That''s how it turned out."


    An Feng looked at Ji Min: "I guess classmate Ji Min ''felt'' it?"


    Wu Chao scratched his head, Ji Min curled his lips, and said as a matter of course: "Otherwise, how can I make money back? The air ticket is so expensive, so I buy more for each trip, bring it to my family, colleagues and friends, and then charge some tips. , the air ticket price can be discounted in half, why not take advantage of this cheap price?"


    "It makes sense, Wu Chao, you are so happy!" An Feng admired Ji Min''s cleverness, and the phone rang at this moment, and he picked it up after looking at it: "Hello?"


    "It''s me, Wang Le. I''m at the airport. This is the number I just bought." Wang Le said on the other end of the phone, "I''ve already got a ticket for the flight to St. Louis, and it will take off in 20 minutes. How long? If it��s too long, I��ll go buy some snacks.��


    "Not very long, about an hour." An Feng said.


    "Okay, let''s do this first, brother, go and have a look at Dayang Ma first!" Wang Le hung up the phone after finishing speaking.


    An Feng said to Wu Chao and Ji Min: "Second brother''s call, he has arrived in Los Angeles, why don''t we wait a little longer? He will come over in an hour and a half."


    Ji Min said: "It''s okay, just sit here and wait. It''s so troublesome to go back and forth, and it''s a waste of gas money."


    Wu Chao shrugged and had no objection. It''s been a long time since I saw a few classmates chatting at the airport, buying some snacks and a few cups of coffee, the time passed quickly. When Wang Le appeared, he was dressed in a cool outfit, with a suit and leather shoes, and a handbag, walking quickly. As soon as he touched the mobile phone in his pocket, he was surrounded.


    Wu Chao said: "It''s a hot day, why don''t you pretend to be a secret agent?"


    Ji Min followed: "It''s overdone, let me see how you unlock the phone with one hand?"


    An Feng''s lines were overwhelmed: "Ahaha."


    Wang Le also laughed: "You bastards, are you trying to tear me down?"


    This group of people was not serious when they were in college, and it��s normal to be single, but when there are too many people, they will become two. It has been many years, and An Feng has gotten used to it. He took them outside the airport, drove out his pickup truck, and threw the luggage behind him. Wang Le wondered: "I thought you were going to drive a Ferrari over here!"


    Wu Chao said: "Yeah, aren''t you a rich man? How can you drive a broken pickup?"


    "Ferrari can only seat two people, so put you in the trunk?" An Feng rolled his eyes, "Also, F150 is a high-end pickup in China, tall, rich and handsome, okay?"


    Wang Le smiled: "You also know that it can only be used in China!"


    Wu Hao said: "I heard that the pickup truck is driven by a farmer. In other words, we urbanites can despise Lao San, a poor farmer. Suddenly, I feel that the atmosphere in capitalist society is so balanced!"


    An Feng was speechless, he couldn''t fight them with one mouth. He changed the subject: "Is the driver''s license notarized?"


    Wu Chao and Wang Le both nodded. This is not the first time they have gone abroad, and self-driving travel is a must. An Feng said, "Then let''s go to the car rental company?"


    While still in SLO, everyone agrees. Before coming here, Anfeng had inquired. There are many car rental companies, some of which are large international chain companies, and there are many types of vehicles. An Feng took them to one of the largest local car rental companies. After discussing with Ji Min, Wu Chao and Ji Min chose a comfortable full-size seven-seat SUV: GMC-Acadia, which has a strong American rough style and has never been listed in China. Based on experience idea to try.


    Wang Le chose the Ford Mustang convertible sports car, saying that he couldn''t let An Feng show off alone. As a result, one car turned into three cars when we went back. Everyone drove behind An Feng in fear, maintaining a speed of about 75 miles per hour, allowing these guys to experience American-style driving.


    It took me a while to get home after one o��clock, especially after driving out of Paso Robles, the road was full of beautiful scenery with plump grapes and sunshine, everyone unanimously asked to slow down and give the camera time to take pictures. Especially Wang Le, the feeling of driving a convertible in this kind of place is indescribable, free and fresh, with a beautiful view, if there is a beautiful girl... An Feng used to take Jenny out to play like this before.


    After arriving home, everyone admired his house and kept taking pictures. An Feng was elated. The house he had spent more than 200,000 yuan to repair finally showed its value. But before he could proudly introduce the layout, everyone was busy choosing a room after saying hello.


    Mistake, it seems that the room is more attractive than myself.


    After everyone went downstairs, the house was very lively. My mother also specially made some delicious food that An Feng coveted, such as roasted pork ribs with potatoes. After a full meal, none of them could stop and went to explore An Feng His territory made him wonder how he could have such strong physical strength.


    An Feng showed off Wang Le to his cinema.


    "Damn!" Wang Le''s expression satisfied him, "You''re fine, it''s so high-end, with a giant projection screen, and a full set of leather sofas, it''s a movie theater that has been shrunk down and moved here, right? What movies are there, how many will be shown tonight?"


    "Whatever you want, I bought a lot of Blu-ray high-definition ones, and I will save them until you bother me!"


    After visiting the theater, they walked out.


    "Wu Chao, come quickly, what a beautiful swimming pool!" Ji Min''s cheers came from the backyard, and An Feng and Wang Le followed out.


    Wu Chao said with a smile: "You guys can really enjoy it. There is no frame and there is a height difference. There are two sets of swimming pool heating equipment. Look at the colorful lights under the pool. Swimming at night must be very exciting!"


    "I don''t even look at who my brother is!" An Feng was even more proud.


    Wang Le smiled: "Look at the expression of the landlord, the third son! If you make a movie, you can win an award, right?"


    "Hahaha, you bunch of stinky dicks!" An Feng smiled strangely with his hips on his hips.


    Everyone burst into laughter, this guy didn''t do it on purpose, he did it on purpose.


    The lighting of the swimming pool is really good. Turn on the colored lights at night. The pool is colorful, like a rainbow in the sky. Different areas are illuminated into different colors, as if dyes are added to the pool water. People swimming in the water are dreamlike. The reason kids like to come to parties.


    Wang Le said: "Hurry up and get into the water, what are you waiting for!"


    Several people who changed into swimsuits jumped into the cool swimming pool one after another. An Feng moved a dozen cans of beer and threw them to them one by one, "Do what you can, be careful if you drink too much and fall off the side... Hey! I just said it, classmate Ji Min! Don''t jump on the side, stretch yourself Go and look outside, more than ten meters high, if you fall from the fourth floor, will you have to fart your ass?"


    Because he had to pick up people in the afternoon, he didn''t go into the water, and only drank a few sips of beer while playing with his mobile phone. Occasionally, I saw Xiaoyu having a great time playing with two dogs. She held a few flying saucers in her hand and ran with her short legs.


    In the afternoon, An Feng continued to be the driver and picked up his sister and brother-in-law at the airport. They remembered An Feng''s suggestion clearly, they don''t need to bring anything, just two sets of clothes, and they can buy them locally if they want. The experience of blood and tears of donkey friends proves that if you bring too many things, you will almost always be discarded in the end. Because local brands are too cheap.


    Talking all the way back home, mom and dad happened to be cooking, and a few friends were playing with Xiaoyu in the front yard. After An Feng introduced the two parties, he heard the sound of his mother calling for dinner, and everyone walked into the house, together As soon as I sat down at the long table, relatives and friends gathered together, and it was very lively.

 Chapter 38： Wang Les thoughts

    Chapter 38 Wang Le''s Thoughts


    After dinner, the lesbians wanted to help in the kitchen, but they were all invited out by their mother. She said that young people would not do such things, just go and play obediently. In fact, An Feng saw through that his mother enjoyed the joy of controlling the big kitchen... Everyone gathered around the sofa, made some fruit salad, and discussed the upcoming trip.


    Ji Min hugged the pillow on the sofa, and said lazily: "The environment here in Anfeng is so nice, I really want to just lazily bask in the sun for a few days."


    Wu Chao nodded: "I agree."


    An Feng smiled and said: "We don''t consider the right to speak of ''tracheitis''."


    "Spoof!" The elder sister poked An Feng with her finger with a smile, and said, "I really like it here. The air is fresh and natural, and the garden is full of grapes. It''s comparable to a resort."


    Brother-in-law just wanted to agree, but following Wu Chao''s precedent, he glanced at An Feng, shut up and behaved.


    An Feng was stabbed by his brother-in-law''s eyes, and he said to everyone: "Then at least let''s go, Wang Le and brother-in-law are empty-handed."


    Wang Le ate a piece of apple dipped in strawberry jam, and when he heard them struggling, he expressed his thoughts: "Why don''t we go to the scenic spots, buy things, and finish all the tasks together, then Leave two or three days to come back here and have a comfortable vacation?"


    Everyone thinks the idea is good. Finding a good place to recuperate physically and mentally, and going back full of energy is the essence of vacation. Being busy every day, accumulating seven days of exhaustion and going back to work, this is simply making a fuss. After finally coming to this romantic town, how can we not enjoy it?


    At eight o��clock the next day, everyone packed up their things and prepared to leave.


    An Feng asked his parents: "You really don''t plan to go with us?"


    Dad shook his head: "I still like riding horses."


    My mother said: "It''s fun to be with you young people, but the environment here is very good. Occasionally, I go to see them picking grapes."


    An Feng didn''t force them, and told them: "Remember to call me if you have anything, and call me if you don''t understand. Don''t worry about the phone bill."


    "Understood, why are you more verbose than your mother." Dad said.


    An Feng was injured and retreated.


    An Feng drove out the polished Ferrari and opened the roof to welcome the California sunshine. Originally, Xiaoyu had reserved the co-pilot, but according to American law, children under the age of 12 are not allowed to sit in the co-pilot, and offenders will be severely punished, so Xiaoyu moved to the back seat of Wang Le''s Mustang, together with her brother-in-law.


    The co-pilot is now a freshly dressed older sister who also wears hot pants, sandals and big sunglasses like trendy people. An Feng gave her 32 likes. My sister is three years older than An Feng, and they are both of the same age, and there is no generation gap. We can talk about many topics together, and we get along very well with his friends.


    The only one who is struggling is Wu Chao. Everyone is rushing to the convertible, and his wife also ran to Wang Le, so he can only follow everyone eagerly. But in the end, it turned out that he was the one who worked the best, and when the sports car was full with only a little stuff, his seven-seater SUV stood out.


    ��


    After visiting Los Angeles for a few days, An Feng deeply experienced what it means to be tired. He visited all the major attractions, such as Hollywood, Universal Studios, Crystal Church, Venice Beach, and even drove around the luxury residential area of ??Beverly Hills. Finally, I came to the conclusion: it is not as comfortable as Anfeng.


    These words finally made him feel better.


    After everyone had had enough fun and shopping, they came to the famous Santa Monica beach together in the afternoon, preparing to spend the last day in Los Angeles. With a two-mile-long coastline here, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, full of people, and very lively. It is most suitable for idlers who have nothing to do and want to lie down for an afternoon.


    Xiaoyu was playing volleyball with her sister and brother-in-law, and Wu Chao took Ji Min to go surfing. Girl, comment in a professional tone from time to time, and then smile knowingly.


    From the weather to women, then from women to themselves, and finally to life, An Feng asked him: "Xiao Lezi, what plans do you have for the future?"


    "Don''t call me Xiaolezi. I''m the second in the dormitory, and I''m called Brother Le." Wang Le pushed up his sunglasses, stared at a pony-bottomed hippopotamus passing by, and said after a long time: "Who knows, graduated I feel that I have no passion. My father wanted me to help my brother manage the company, but I insisted on studying in graduate school because I didn��t want to do it. Besides, how can my level compare with my successor? I just want to be free. Do what you want to do."


    An Feng despised him for a while: "I think you are so idle, do you remember the previous TV series? A certain rich second generation has money, a house, a girl and a career, but he just said that this is not what I want. Damn, you don��t want a lot of people! So just be content, obediently become a manager or something, marry a well-matched wife according to the wishes of the family, and have a white and fat boy..."


    "Stop, stop, stop!" Wang Le felt dizzy for a while, "Damn, I get a headache when I think about it, don''t say any more, I''m getting angry, and I''m even afraid of myself!"


    "Hahaha, what do you want to do then?" An Feng asked him with a smile.


    After thinking about it for a while, Wang Le said: "Maybe start a small company, or make some investment. I don''t think there is any room for this agricultural college to use its hands and feet. My brother said that the most needed thing to do things is the head of business. , a big relationship and a stomach that can drink very much!"


    "Your brother understands it thoroughly!" An Feng said.


    Wang Le laughed a few times, then suddenly turned to look at An Feng, he covered himself in fear. Wang Lehan: "You cover your hair, I''m not gay."


    "It''s hard to say whether you will be bent over the past few years." An Feng said cautiously.


    Wang Le gave him the middle finger, and then said: "I would like to cooperate with you to start a business."


    An Feng wondered: "What is the cooperation? Isn''t your family engaged in butchering pigs? I''m not familiar with these things."


    Wang Le resisted the urge to run wild: "I''ve said it a hundred times, and now it''s the one hundred and zeroth time! That''s not called killing pigs, it''s called the integration of modern centralized breeding and slaughtering sales, and that''s just one of them. My family It��s a family business, and it��s a means of occupying the market.��


    "So you went to the Agricultural College to study plants?" An Feng sneered.


    "Oh, I can''t explain it to you." Wang Le was very thick-skinned, and skipped directly: "I mean, the papers you showed last time seemed to be a bit tricky."


    "Hahaha!" An Feng laughed a few times, Wang Le didn''t understand. An Feng said: "A bit crazy? Just a joke, let me tell you, what I made must be earth-shattering. It''s a little bit crazy and I look down on me too much. The last paper was just an outline. I will break it down and break it down. , have achieved results, applied for patents, and evaluation agencies have given billions of market value, and four of them have been sold.��


    "Really?" Wang Le didn''t believe it.


    An Feng talked about the matter of Tailan Company, mentioned the patent he invested in, and publicized: "These fertilizers are no longer fertilizers, they are the 2.0 version of fertilizers��super fertilizers, which can allow crops to absorb fertilizers below two meters Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium, the yield of wheat per mu is 18000!"


    "It seems that something has mixed in." Wang Le felt that the lines were familiar.


    "I''m talking about fertilizer!" An Feng glared at him.


    "What I want is evidence." Wang Le said.


    An Feng sneered a few times... One day later, the data in his computer was opened, most of which were comprehensive data obtained from computer testing and cultivation experiments by the research department of Tailan Company. Of course, it is not as exaggerated as An Feng said, but it is inevitable to greatly increase the production of wheat and corn.


    An Feng said: "This is short-term data, which is not accurate. It needs a full cycle and a large area of ??testing. I guarantee that the effect will be better than now."


    Wang Le asked: "How about the cost?"


    This is exactly what An Feng is proud of: "It is much lower than some traditional chemical fertilizers."


    "Are you planning to use these to occupy the western market and gradually reach the United States and North America?"


    An Feng laughed again: "Soul Dan! How could I have so much patience, first make some good results, and then go public, sell the original stock to make money."


    Wang Le popped out a word: "profiteer!"


    "Thank you!" An Feng said indifferently.


    "Then we have to cooperate even more." Wang Le said with a smile, "If you don''t look at the prosperous domestic market, if you can open a hole, you can make money even if you don''t go public."


    An Feng said: "But the situation in China is very complicated, and it is not feasible with technology."


    Wang Le said: "So leave it to me. Ask someone to find a relationship. My family''s company is not a local tyrant for nothing."


    An Feng thought about it, yes, Wang Le''s family is quite powerful, a large local taxpayer, and I heard that he has contacts with high-ranking officials. It should not be difficult to expand domestic channels, right?


    He said to Wang Le: "Let''s make a total calculation."

 Chapter 39： take everyone to shoot

    Chapter 39 Take everyone to shoot


    An Feng and Wang Le spent some time talking about the market prospect. After all, who doesn��t want to make money in business? Before that, Anfeng had an even weirder idea. After the listed stocks doubled, they would sell them to make money. However, killing chickens to extract eggs is not a long-term solution. After some conversations, Wang Le felt that the advantages of fertilizers are great. It''s just a hang up.


    Wang Le already made up his mind, he asked: "Are you going to start a new company or a branch?"


    An Feng said without hesitation: "It must be a branch company. The patents are all Tailan''s. If you want to control a new company, you have to authorize it, and the accounts made are not so beautiful. You know that investors like to see it." Stable and progressive financial statements, the kind that feel like they have made a lot of money, how good this model is!"


    Wang Le understood as soon as he heard it: "Come on, after all, you''re just thinking about going public."


    An Feng smiled: "Don''t blame me, look at those listed companies, the shares of those listed companies have multiplied by more than ten times as soon as they are listed, and ten million can become hundreds of millions in the blink of an eye. As long as the legal sale period ends, just sell a few shares at will. Dozens of times the funds returned to the pocket..."


    Wang Le said: "That''s also false. If you don''t have this strength to support such a high value, sooner or later investors will pay for your bad debts."


    An Feng shrugged: "Then it''s none of my business. The stock market is risky, so you must be cautious when entering the market."


    Wang Le said again: "Profitable businessman!"


    "Haha!" An Feng smiled expressionlessly, "but it''s too early to think about making money. Tailan is still busy applying for product listing recently, and there are still a lot of things that need to be reviewed, and the production of fertilizers still needs to be debugged." The machine... probably won''t have a clue until next year at the earliest."


    Wang Le nodded: "Yes, after the holiday, I will go back to inspect the market and ask my brother for advice."


    ��


    After taking a nap, I was full of energy. I heard laughter in the backyard. I went over and saw that everyone was playing in the swimming pool. After three o''clock in the afternoon, the sun is not very strong. After enough sleep, go for a swim, apply some sunscreen and lie on the beach chair, read a fashion magazine, and drink a few glasses of beer. The most comfortable thing.


    An Feng considered planting a few palm trees next to the swimming pool, so that he could hide in the shade and swim in summer.


    He greeted the crowd, sat in the shade with a bottle of beer, and played computer games with nothing to do. He usually doesn''t choose to go into the water when the light is still strong. If he plays like crazy like them, it won''t take long for an Asian-African mixed race to appear. It''s not bad now, the skin is a little healthy and dark.


    Over there, Wang Le jumped onto the shore wet all over, came to sit down opposite An Feng, glanced at him, and asked, "Do you usually do this?"


    "You want to say my house?" An Feng looked at him.


    "Smart, a child can be taught, and he can understand a little bit." Wang Le smiled.


    "Tch, I''m just sitting here to accompany you. I don''t even look at what I usually do, horse riding, off-roading, target shooting, which one is not a man''s sport?"


    "Target shooting? You should have a gun, right?" Wang Le became interested.


    "Yes, yes, it''s locked. There are too many restrictions in California, so it''s not interesting. You can''t carry a gun with you. You can only hide it in the cabinet to give yourself a sense of security." An Feng thought of the cunning Joanna. I will buy a small pistol and hide it in my handbag to show off.


    Wang Le shouted: "How dare you hide it! Why don''t you show it!"


    An Feng glanced at him, then got up and went upstairs, and took out a 1911 and a newly bought Glock 17 from the gun cabinet. The long gun is fine, and it is very troublesome to hold it. After coming down, Wang Le reached out his hand to take it when he saw it, but An Feng slapped his hand away and said, "Let me check first."


    Wang Le watched eagerly: "There is no need to be so cautious!"


    "If you know that I will occasionally load the gun and then run to do other things, you won''t blame me for being cautious." An Feng said with a smile. He pulled the slide of the Glock to check whether there was a bullet in the chamber, and confirmed After being correct, the gun was turned in his hand, and the handle of the gun was handed over to Wang Le.


    "Okay, this hand is well practiced!" Wang Le took the pistol, touched it, and took a look, "Rare thing, I have only played it a few times in China!"


    "Here, here is the magazine!" An Feng gave him two different magazines, "The Glock 17''s magazine is modified and can only hold 10 rounds of bullets."


    "Ten shots in a row, ten times a night, don''t you think that''s too little?"


    Anfeng Waterfall Khan.


    Wang Le groped for a while, and filled the magazine for 1911. An Feng looked at him cautiously, and Wang Le smiled: "Don''t worry, I know the precautions."


    An Feng complained: "You look like a bad guy by nature, there is no way to make people not worry."


    Wang Le ignored him, took out his mobile phone to take a few photos of the gun, and then took a selfie proudly. Finally, looking at the gun''s heart itching, he asked again: "How many shots are you going to shoot?"


    "I don''t have a place to shoot here. If I want to go, I go to the gun shop." An Feng said, in fact, there used to be a small shooting range in the yard, but he was worried that it would hurt the flowers and plants, so he moved it to the foot of the mountain. The box, semi-automatically playing one shot at a time, will soon become boring.


    Wang Le slapped the gun king''s table, and shouted like a bandit: "I see that you are infected with the stink of a civil servant. If you don''t finish your sentence well, you will come again and again. If you don''t ask the end, you won''t know the end result." The result! Come on, drag me out and shoot him for ten minutes!"


    An Feng sought everyone''s opinions and asked everyone who was interested. As a result, all the men raised their hands, and Ji Min was also a little yearning, but the elder sister felt bored and stayed at home with his mother Xiaoyu. Everyone followed An Feng to the city, and walked into the gun shop in groups.


    "Hi, Jerry!" An Feng greeted the guy in the gun shop.


    "Hi, Bruce, is this your friend?" Jerry looked at a group of very curious yellow people behind An Feng.


    "Yes, they are here for tourism." An Feng said with a smile, "It''s okay for them to take pictures here?"


    "OK, feel free," Jerry said.


    It was the first time I entered a gun shop, and everyone was very curious, looking here and there. The clerk enthusiastically showed them the real thing, and a group of people were either busy taking pictures or groping for it. It took me a little effort to choose my favorite weapons, they are all common ones, and I have no chance to touch them in China, but I have played a lot of them in the game. Even Ji Min took some weapons specially customized for women, such as a pink Remington 700 rifle, an AR rifle with Hello Kitty printed on it, and so on.


    Came to the shooting range at the back, there were not many people, a few customers in twos and threes were playing, and suddenly a large group of people came in, the staff of the gun shop was not enough. In the end, An Feng also went into battle in person, instructing his father and the others how to do it. After getting familiar with the rules, he started to pick up the gun and shoot.


    An Feng checked them one by one, and found that Wang Le was pretty good, with a standard posture and a decent look. Wu Chao chose a .50-caliber pistol, but it was not fun at all except for the recoil that made his hands numb. When shooting, the muzzle flame was large, which easily affected the shooter''s vision.


    An Feng used to correct Ji Min''s movements: "The **** of the gun is not in the right position. If you shoot like this, you won''t need your shoulder tomorrow. Move it to the side, that''s right!"


    Dad played with the AK-74 on his shoulder. He worked in the militia when he was young, and the militia reserve at that time was much stronger than it is now, with rifles and machine guns, and occasionally some anti-aircraft guns and towed guns that were eliminated by the troops. However, reforms were carried out slowly later, and all weapons were collected.


    An Fengtu bought a few classic revolvers, .44 Magnum, Colt Python and so on. Seeing that he chose revolvers this time, Jerry recommended a powerful one to him. An Feng saw him take out a package from under the counter, and took out an extra-large revolver from it.


    "The Smith & Wesson M500 just arrived, the most powerful pistol, .50 caliber, with powerful bullets, do you want to try it?" Jerry said with a smile.


    "Okay, give me fifty rounds." An Feng looked at the extra-large revolver with great interest.


    "Are you sure? It can''t be controlled casually!" Jerry looked at An Feng''s arm.


    "That''s it!" An Feng said.


    He took the M500 to the shooting range and filled it with five bullets. The gun was heavy in his hand. It is said that the kinetic energy of the bullet is twice that of a gun. With a bang, a big hole was torn open in the chest of the humanoid bust.


    It was so fierce, no wonder it said that it knocked down an African elephant with one shot!


    An Feng changed his right hand behind him, and fired four consecutive shots with one hand. The accuracy was not guaranteed. Anyway, the muzzle of the gun kept jumping around, and one bullet missed the target. After emptying the bullet, he smiled and said to Jerry who was watching the battle: "It''s really good. In terms of close-range power, it feels similar to a shotgun."


    "You are amazing!" Jerry gave him a thumbs up, "I rarely see one-handed continuous shooting of the M500, your strength is really strong!"


    An Feng smiled slightly. The recent exercise was not in vain. It seemed that the potential of the body was unlimited. Every time he felt that he had improved compared to the previous one. Even now, he still hadn''t touched it. To the limit, his own strength and reaction ability were still slow. The steady improvement is really amazing.

 Chapter 40： artificial genius

    Chapter 40 The Artificial Genius


    A few days later.


    The happy time is always short, and everyone is still immersed in the leisure time of doing nothing all day long, riding horses, swimming, and basking in the sun, but the holiday has quietly come to an end. On the night of the 6th in China, we start to pack our bags and have a party night. Qi Qi left the next morning.


    Large and small bags are inevitable, even An Feng was forced to work as a coolie, carrying some luggage for them, and took the flight to Los Angeles International Airport together. Due to different flight schedules, Wu Chao and Ji Min were the first to leave. An Feng hugged and said goodbye to them.


    "Next time I have the opportunity to find more time to come to your big landlord''s house for vacation, this time you are not poor, you are lucky." Wu Chao said with a smile.


    "Welcome." An Feng patted him, "But with your ability, you can''t shake my mountain. Let''s see who vomited from drinking red wine this time? Enough fun, right?"


    Wu Chao scratched his head and smirked. An Feng kept his word. He really brought out a large box of red wine, treated it as beer and dried the bottle. The result can be imagined.


    Ji Min glared at Wu Chao, and said helplessly: "This guy just talks hard, but he doesn''t really weigh much, so don''t talk to him next time!"


    An Feng smiled and waved at them.


    Then came Wang Le, he didn''t bring much, besides the bag, he also bought a trolley case, which contained gifts for his family, still dressed in super black, he also hugged An Feng, and said : "For details about the branch, we will contact you online."


    "Excuse me." An Feng said, he is also a good brother in the dormitory, so there is no need to say more words of thanks.


    Wang Le turned around coolly: "That''s it, brother go!"


    Xiaoyu is probably the most reluctant. The four days of visiting Disneyland were her happiest days. Now she is talking about how fun it is there, and she told her mother that if she can play again, she can go to school obediently. . It''s really rare that the bear boy was actually stimulated to make up his mind.


    Sister said to An Feng: "We have considered it these days. The environment here is really good, and Xiaoyu also likes it. I am afraid that you will be under too much pressure."


    An Feng shook his head and said: "Don''t worry about this, just educate Xiaoyu well, and leave other things to me. When I was young, you gave way to me and helped me everywhere. Although I made you angry in many ways, I know you She is the best sister, now I will cover you."


    Brother-in-law said with a smile: "This whole scene is really sensational."


    An Feng curled his lips and said, "It''s not because you all insisted on saying goodbye to me. Well, let''s do it for now, I will go back during the Spring Festival."


    After listening to some advice from my parents, I finally waved goodbye.


    After taking a nap at noon, after getting up in the afternoon and washing his face, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Lei''s number. The last time the matter of looking for the laboratory came to fruition, but An Feng had no time, so he had to ask Lei to help delay it until later. After speaking with him, Lei said that the laboratory is not difficult to find, but it needs some money.


    An Feng didn''t care about the money any more, he reserved a time slot, and the next step was to find or buy various matching grape tissues, and it took a few days to collect them all. The vineyards are officially picked. An Feng uses manual picking for the grapes used for winemaking, while the others are sold by machines. The loss rate is about 8%, but the time is fast, and now Old John has contacted the buyer.


    After nothing happened, An Feng drove a pickup truck with outstanding transportation capacity, and took the culture medium and materials he personally adjusted to Los Angeles. Ray helped him rent a biogenetic laboratory at UCLA at a high price. UCLA is a very famous university, and it often ranks among the top 15 in the world. Generally, such institutions of higher learning do not like to lend their own laboratories, but UCLA has a weakness: public ones.


    Public universities in the United States are supported by government funding, but recently the government has been calling them poor, and even public universities are trying to find ways to increase tuition fees to ease financial pressure. With An Feng offering tens of thousands of yuan, plus the relationship with some previous investors, there is still a way. Ray took great care in doing this.


    A few hours later, I arrived in Los Angeles. According to the address, I came to the entrance of the college. I dialed the number of the contact person on my mobile phone, explained my identity and made an appointment, and then came out a male scholar in his forties. Take it into the college building and find the lab for rent.


    After listening to the other party explain some precautions and signing the damage compensation agreement, An Feng went to get to know the equipment in the laboratory one by one. Whether it is equipment or manuals, they are all professional vocabulary and abbreviations. Fortunately, he was well prepared and let the machine memorize the dictionary before he came.


    The purpose of Anfeng is to cultivate genetically modified grapes with super adaptability, so that top vines can grow all over the land of California, and completely rewrite the wine market. It has the meaning of punching Bordeaux in France and stepping on Yarra Valley in Australia.


    His experiment was simple: repeat research that had already been successful. First extract the required target gene, combine with the carrier, recombine the DNA, and then introduce it into the recipient cells, and spend a long time to screen the target gene - this is the only difficult part in the experiment, because it does not require technology but patience . No matter how strong the next-generation technology is, it can''t help him increase his patience. There is a certain element of luck in it.


    Although An Feng is lazy, he will not give up halfway. As long as he is patient, he will find the target gene sooner or later. Finally, large-scale proliferation is carried out by a PCR machine to obtain the required recombinant cells and stored in the culture medium. Then you can leave the laboratory, and many of the subsequent steps can be completed at home.


    The whole process lasted for several days. An Feng felt that it was a bit slow, but compared with the two or three years of research and development time of other grape genetic modification technologies, he was probably the fastest in history. I stayed in a hotel at night, and went to the laboratory to nest during the day, and re-experienced the busy life of high school.


    The office door was knocked twice, An Feng was busy in front of the desktop gene gun, without looking up, he said, "Please come in!"


    The half-hidden door was pushed open, and a middle-aged white man in a white shirt, black hair, and glasses walked in, holding a cup of coffee in his hand.


    An Feng glanced back and nodded slightly: "Good afternoon, Mike."


    "You too, Ann." The other said.


    "Sorry, my experiment has reached a critical moment, please feel free." After An Feng said this, he continued to immerse himself in his work.


    "It''s okay." The other party said very politely. Coincidentally, Mike Case is an expert in biological research, specializing in the research of biological cells, and has a deep understanding of the world''s problem-cancer cells. By chance, he entered the wrong laboratory and met An Feng who was working hard.


    It was just this time that they chatted a few words. At first he didn''t pay much attention to An Feng, he just thought he was some hardworking foreign student in the school, because Chinese people are always hardworking. Although their communication skills are not strong, they put their heads down The hard work is not comparable to ordinary people. Case asked a few casually, but who knows that the other party knows as much as he does, and judging from his experiments and theories, he is probably better than himself.


    I have done decades of research, can it be compared to a young man? Keith talked about other topics intentionally or unintentionally, leading the content to a more advanced direction. Who would have thought that this person''s performance was as relaxed as ever, blurting out theoretical and experimental data, and some conclusions seemed...more accurate?


    Later, Case went to ask his colleague who was working on this subject to verify it, and found a calculation error. After the revision, the answer tended to be that of the Chinese named Bruce. Keith was shocked. He suddenly remembered a boring survey before, saying that the golden age for scientists to make major discoveries is between 25 and 35 years old. According to statistics, the average age of American Nobel laureates when they received their Ph.D. Around 25 years old.


    Comforting myself in this way, the state of mind will be much more stable.


    An Feng, on the other hand, was completely unaware of the shock he had caused to others by modifying the data of that project. At that time, he just wanted to quickly screen the target gene and get rid of this annoying old guy, but unexpectedly he got entangled instead. Helpless, he could only chat with Case about some things related to cytogenetics in his spare time.


    Perhaps it was God''s will. When An Feng was working on grape genetic modification, he touched the same category of bioengineering, so he got involved. According to the "rules" understood by the machine brain, doing so can better excavate related knowledge, so the knowledge of biological genes and cytology is available.


    "Oh, yes!" An Feng cheered suddenly, attracting Case who was drinking coffee, and seeing his smile all over his face, he was overjoyed.


    "I succeeded!" An Feng rarely took the initiative to open the topic.


    "Congratulations!" Case said.


    An Feng excitedly took out the recombined cells, and now only needs to use the PCR machine to replicate it to 10 billion to 100 billion times, and then carry out cell tissue culture, put the target cells in the medium, and bring them back to his own experiment In the room, slowly waiting for them to grow, develop... and finally harvest.


    Case gave him a hand and helped him a little. After An Feng finished, he wanted to invite him to have a cup of coffee, but Case said that he had good stuff in his office, and An Feng didn''t want to go far, so he went with him. Then came some other research experts, all with "Dr" in their titles. There were so many fierce people with double doctorate degrees, An Feng felt under pressure.


    Mike Case is throwing a grand banquet, this old guy has a bad conscience!


    They were lucky this time. After fighting for a week, An Feng got what he wanted, so he said more when he was in a good mood. The so-called mutual communication is basically that he is coping and other people are communicating. An Feng couldn''t listen to what they said, no matter how they came, the machine brain would be broken.


    An Feng took a sip of coffee and said seriously: "I also think Dr. Case said that after inducing the expression gene X mutation of cancer cells, it can permanently kill cancer cells, but a chain reaction needs to be created, otherwise the drug will be destroyed. damage to other normal cells."


    (X stands for nonsense)


    They exchanged opinions on what An Feng said.


    An Feng complained in his heart: Damn, who cares what you say, I have a lot of ways to kill cancer cells permanently...but I won''t tell you!


    In the end, An Feng said that he wanted to end the research. When they packed up and went home, they invited An Feng to join the research team. Although he only had a bachelor''s degree that was not recognized by the United States, the nerds like Lao Mei really did research. Who cares what you have? What kind of degree, as long as you have knowledge.


    An Feng refused, that��s why he didn��t do this kind of thing. The research has produced results, and the main credit is yours. I just put a name at the end? Just kidding, why don''t you give me a part-time job, I will give you a project that you can''t finish in your lifetime, and you can produce results in an average of a few years.


    After An Feng exchanged communication methods with them, he resolutely left. But on the way back, he had the idea to hire a group of research staff to research and develop his subject... laziness is playing tricks. Take this one, although it was a simple (for him) experiment, it took a week.


    What if the later ones are more complex and larger, will it take half a year?


    An Feng didn''t have the patience. He thought about dividing a topic into multiple groups, so that different people could study different areas... It''s like a research institute. The knowledge patents researched by employees belong to the research institute. After getting the name, Anfeng made a profit, so why not do it?

 Chapter 41： Hasty trip to New York (Part 1)

    Chapter 41 A Hasty Trip to New York (Part 1)


    An Feng''s idea is quite good. Setting up a research center saves him from making all his own inventions in the future, which is too attractive to the public. Although he often calls himself a "genius", the genius who is exposed to the camera every day can be regarded as a genius. Not the life he wanted.


    But there is one more problem��money. Maybe they spent a little too much recently, and after deducting the 4 million that they raised in Tailan last time, there are still about 2 million in the bank account, which is really unaffordable. If you want to set up a research institute, I''m afraid you have to find a way to get money. The current diamond market is not good, and perhaps a loan is more suitable.


    Thinking about this, after arriving home, An Feng carefully removed the protective culture medium from the car. There were more than 60 sets in total. He completed 50% of them by himself, and the rest were completed by those doctors, professors, etc. Yes, the price is owed favors. He didn''t want to, but his patience was limited.


    The culture medium loaded with next-generation grape tissue was transferred to An Feng''s laboratory. He specially set up a cultivation room, irradiated by fluorescent lamps, and rapidly promoted the growth of new grapes in an environment of 30 degrees Celsius and a standard amount of nutrients. The information in his mind told him that it should be adjusted every 4-5 days.


    After finishing these, he fell asleep beautifully.


    After waking up, I called Jenny, whom I hadn��t contacted for a long time, and chatted aimlessly about the love words that men and women often say in love. Basically, there is no topic, but it is energy consumption. No? It''s unimaginable to be someone other than my girlfriend.


    Although Jenny is very busy recently, An Feng decided to fly to New York. He didn''t have much time himself, maybe he wanted to make up for the disappointment she had when she came to Los Angeles last time, anyway, he was already on the plane. Looking at the full schedule in his mobile phone, he felt that this kind of love that separated the two places was too tiring. The vast majority of long-distance relationships are: phone calls once a day, once a week, once a month, and finally announced the end.


    Arrived in the bustling metropolis of New York in the afternoon, An Feng has been to New York twice before and after, but he only took a quick glance. He felt that he could see high-rise buildings, crowded streets, dense crowds, and fast-paced life everywhere. Not suitable for his lazy personality.


    While it was still early, I stopped a taxi with a classic yellow livery and drove to the car rental company.


    Even in a city like New York with a well-developed public transportation system, it is inconvenient to not have a car. Let An Feng squeeze the subway and take a taxi? One is that the subway is crowded, and the other is that taxis can''t do whatever they want, so he doesn''t do it. What is the money in your pocket for? He went and rented a luxury SUV: a Range Rover.


    Land Rover claims to be the Rolls-Royce of SUVs. It has some grounds. It pursues both comfort and off-road capability. Although there are many minor problems, but ignoring these, An Feng is very satisfied with the driving performance. Driving a big car has one of the most obvious advantages: a wide field of vision. When drunk, he will be full of pride, and occasionally feel that he is invincible.


    For example, when waiting to pass in a crowded traffic flow, what those car drivers see are dense vehicles and crowds, while Anfeng can overlook tall buildings in the distance and various shops along the street. Fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps? A little bit...but I have an advantage, so I don''t agree with you and drive the F650 (it claims to be driving on the second floor).


    What is there to do in New York? Fifth Avenue shopping. Apart from this, An Feng can''t think of anything else. His favorite city is Sunshine Beach, which has beautiful scenery and makes people feel comfortable. Los Angeles fits a few of those boxes, so he likes it. As a dream-seeking metropolis, New York is probably more stressful and mechanical. Commuting in this high-rise steel city all day should feel depressing, right?


    Of course, those higher-ups, or the real BOSS are not included. It is said that these financial giants claim to be several million per minute, but they live far away, what should I do? ��Helicopter. Every impressive high-rise building has an apron, which naturally serves the tycoons.


    An Feng followed the navigator to find Fifth Avenue. This is probably one of the few urban areas in the United States where a large number of people live, and the housing prices are not low. The houses around Central Park in New York are basically calculated at tens of millions of dollars, and a small amount of more than 100 million, echoing the Beverly Hills of Los Angeles.


    Driving through Central Park, I despise these local tyrants in my heart, but after all, why do I despise? Because he is envious. He cursed himself secretly, and after driving a few hundred meters in the one-way lane, he encountered a traffic jam. I am used to driving on this road in the suburbs, and I am not used to letting go of the accelerator.


    Turn on the car radio, there are songs as soon as it is turned on, and it is still in the rap style. Listening to the swearing and swearing, An Feng''s head flicked, and he moved forward a little bit with the traffic. It is a park with lush trees.


    The phone rang, An Feng turned down the music, looked left and right to see if there were no policemen, and answered: "Hi, honey!"


    "Hi, are you in New York?" Jenny said.


    "Just arrived, I''m looking for a hotel around Central Park." An Feng looked around, feeling that the streets of New York are similar, he should be right?


    "Well, if you find it, send me a message." Jenny said, "Also, I may go back later tonight, and the crew has temporarily assigned extra tasks, sorry."


    "It''s okay, I''ll wait for you." An Feng said.


    "Okay, bye then, see you tonight." Jenny''s silver-like laughter came from the phone.


    An Feng put away the phone and muttered: "Why do you have to work so hard to be an actor?" The car continued to drive forward, and after a few kilometers the Central Park finally disappeared, but it also meant that he went the wrong way. The road names in this area are very painful, they are all marked with numbers, and it takes a little effort to memorize them by rote.


    Turn around ahead and continue walking towards the park. Look at both sides of the street. You can see scaffolding on the sidewalk all year round. These shops are always your home this year and my home next year. And the streets are not as clean and tidy as the legends say, and some pieces of paper and packaging can be seen on the side of the road from time to time. The trash can is often full, and several black plastic bags are thrown beside it, and a beggar is rummaging through the trash can.


    An Feng saw this scene, and Ah Q sent the spirit to the Americans: "At least the manhole cover on the road is still there."


    After turning around, he found a hotel next to Central Park, parked his car and took his luggage down, the parking staff would find a parking space for him around the crowded street, and booked a presidential suite on a high floor, with a dedicated elevator to go upstairs . As long as he should keep a low profile - the premise is not to make himself uncomfortable.


    Long-distance flight and self-driving lost travel are very tiring, lie down on a comfortable bed, close your eyes, the good sound insulation blocks the noise of the bustling world outside the window, and fell asleep unknowingly. When he woke up from his sleep, the lights outside the window were already bright, and night shrouded the city that never sleeps.


    Looking at the time, it was past eight o''clock, and Jenny hadn''t come back yet. I had to go downstairs to eat something first. I wanted to go for a walk in the park, but I thought of the warnings of the predecessors. There are two contrasts between day and night in the United States. You can see what you want to see during the day, but after nightfall, usually will come the other way.


    Weighed up my abilities, one hit three is no problem, but the situation is different in China, where there are guns. For example, someone satirized Chicago''s strict gun ban, saying that no matter how it is banned, it can only get rid of the hands of the P people, while the gangs can always get the guns. The strict ban on guns has resulted in the top three shootings in the United States in Chicago.


    Standing on the sidewalk in front of the hotel for a few minutes, there was still a steady flow of vehicles, but there were not many people on the sidewalk, and some of them were in a hurry or had malicious intentions. An Feng made a fortune for himself, it is not advisable to go out tonight, so he turned and went upstairs, turned on the TV to watch paid 18. Forbidden programs... Well, it is actually HBO''s ''Game of Thrones''. See how you judge it, dark, gory, and unscrupulous.


    The phone rang at ten o''clock, I answered the phone, and went to open the door.


    "Hi!" Jenny outside the door smiled slightly, walked in, and hugged him warmly.


    An Feng let go of her, looked at her face, and said, "You look very tired."


    Jenny nodded, and then pouted: "Who made me so stupid, always being called CUT by the director, good jokes have to be repeated again and again."


    "It''s terrible." An Feng said pitifully, "Are you full? Do you want to order something for you?"


    "I ate some, but I won''t refuse your kindness." Jenny smiled and kissed him.


    "take a break."


    An Feng motioned her to sit on the sofa, and called the hotel''s meal delivery number by himself. When he finished the call and looked back, Jenny was already tired and fell asleep.

 Chapter 42： Hasty trip to New York (Part 2)

    Chapter 42 Hurrying to New York (Part 2)


    An Feng was woken up by the alarm clock the next day. Before he opened his eyes, Jenny, who was sleeping next to him, jumped up reflexively. He opened his sleepy eyes and saw her holding a mobile phone in her hand, looking at him helplessly. Said: "I have a lot of arrangements today, and the theater is too far away from here."


    An Feng shook off his tiredness, rubbed his eyes and climbed up, and pressed her shoulder: "You can sleep a little longer, I will call you breakfast, and then send you to work."


    Jenny lay back on the bed and kissed the back of his hand: "You are so kind."


    After a hasty breakfast, Jenny took another moment to wash up in the bathroom, and she was fully dressed when she came out. Take her down the hotel and drive out the Land Rover in the parking lot. Hearing that she reported an address, An Feng had never been there, so he had to look it up on the navigator.


    "Haha, it all depends on these high technologies." An Feng smiled and fiddled with the navigator.


    "Thank you." Jenny looked at him, "I meant to keep you waiting for so long, but we couldn''t even say a few words, and we had to get up early to send me to work."


    "It''s okay." An Feng said, and glanced at her, "Hair."


    "Huh? Mess?" Jenny reached out to look in the vanity mirror.


    "No." An Feng reached out and removed a piece of hair behind her ear.


    Jenny unbuckled her seat belt, stretched her head over and kissed him on the face: "This is your reward. I will definitely find time to come out to accompany you tonight, okay?"


    "Don''t force yourself, you won''t be able to hold on." An Feng laughed.


    "Be serious." Jenny said angrily, "I didn''t say that."


    An Feng smiled and said nothing. When he stopped at a red light intersection, he suddenly asked: "Do you really think this kind of busy life suits you?"


    "I like this profession." Jenny said.


    An Feng glanced at her and said, "I have no other intentions."


    "I know, but I really like being an actor, as long as I have the opportunity, I will not let it go easily."


    "Oh." An Feng nodded.


    After being silent for a while, Jenny asked him: "What about you, what kind of life do you want to live, Mr. Rich?"


    "Rich?" An Feng shook his head, "I like to live unrestrainedly and live a leisurely and relaxed life. I usually go outing with family or friends. Occasionally a little excitement is fine, just treat it as an adjustment. Of course, there must be material guarantees. subject to any restrictions."


    "It''s... well, good, stable." Jenny smiled.


    An Feng saw that she didn''t like to talk about this topic, so he talked about other things: "Where are we going at night? How about the bar? I heard that there is a very famous sky garden bar on Fifth Avenue, on the top of twenty floors, You can enjoy the wonderful night view around you while listening to cozy music.��


    "Okay, you can locate the child." Jenny agreed.


    An Feng sent her to a certain place in Manhattan, which was temporarily rented by the film crew, with a lot of security around it, and ordinary people couldn''t pass through. An Feng''s car also encountered obstacles in the past. I heard from Jenny that it was because the male and female protagonists of the movie were big names, and it happened that a large number of scenes were shot here. In order to block the enthusiastic fans, the crew came up with various methods. The face of the supporting role is not good.


    "I''ll take you here." An Feng said to her.


    "I''m so sorry, would you like to get their autographs for you?" Jenny looked at him.


    "Haha, forget it, be yourself, I prefer to ask for your autograph." An Feng said with a smile, and kissed her. Jenny put on sunglasses and a hat, waved to him after getting off the car, and said Say goodbye and leave in a hurry. An Feng kept watching her figure disappear into the crowd.


    Driving aimlessly on the streets of Manhattan. Others are very excited to come to New York, and they can��t get enough of it. I��ve only been here for a day, and I feel bored. It seemed that I was really not suitable for this place, so I parked the car on the side of the road, took out my mobile phone and went to the Chinese website to find some food recommendations.


    The most popular dishes in the United States, except pizza and sandwiches, An Feng reckons it is to ensure that you will not starve to death, and the rest is not considered. Even Americans know that French restaurants are high-end! American food? I really can''t think of anything delicious. After searching for a long time, some donkey friends recommended snack bars in New York''s Chinatown, especially the must-try xiao long bao. Thinking of domestic food, An Feng gained some motivation.


    Land Rover was driving in a narrow street and encountered a traffic jam. It stopped and stopped and finally found an unremarkable shop. There were still quite a few people queuing up, and it was only after nine o''clock. An Feng found an open space to park, and followed him in a long queue. Not only people of yellow race, but also white people and black people come here because of their reputation. The most common word they hear is "xiaolongbao" with various strange pronunciations. It seems that Chinese cuisine has conquered these old Americans.


    After queuing for a while, when the delicious food was brought to the table, An Feng felt that the trip was worthwhile and that he had waited so long. Sitting across from him was a yellow-haired horse. After eating a few steamed buns, it suddenly occurred to him to take a photo with a camera. An Feng smiled, and she also smiled at An Feng, saying that she likes Chinese food.


    Talked with Yanmar about some culture and food-related matters, and learned that she is a French tourist who wanted to go to China but didn��t get a visa, so she had to come to the United States to find Chinatown. An Feng admired her courage, but rejected her invitation to travel with her. If still single, he would be more than happy to accompany you.


    I drove away and walked around the most densely populated places in New York. I saw Wall Street, Empire State Building, Ground Zero and other attractions in the car. I originally wanted to see the Statue of Liberty, but found that the Statue of Liberty is free, but it takes a boat to go there. Money, I didn''t have much interest in it at first, so I just give up the idea now.


    Go back to Central Park for a stroll, call to book a seat at the bar, have lunch in the afternoon, return to the hotel to take a shower, and prepare for tonight''s date. He came out wrapped in a bath towel, and found that the signal light of the mobile phone on the bed was blinking. He picked it up and saw that Old John had called him several times.


    Normally he wouldn''t make so many calls if there was no urgent matter, so An Feng hurriedly called back.


    "Hey, Old John, what''s going on?"


    Old John''s voice came: "Oh, thank God, you finally called. The thing is, there is a problem with the wiring in this area of ????the vineyard. There was a power outage this afternoon. When I rushed to your laboratory, those cultures Equipment, huh? Those things are out of power anyway."


    "What!" An Feng was stunned, this thing needs continuous light, if there is a sudden power failure, all previous efforts may be wasted.


    "How is it now, has the power been restored?" he asked.


    "No, it is being repaired and it will take several hours."


    "There is a generator in the house, right? Why don''t you help me connect it..." An Feng said some steps, but he was still worried, because there might be errors in some values, in case the temperature is higher or lower, or the equipment Damaged... Finally decided to go back and get it myself.


    He packed his things and ordered air tickets by phone. Due to the sudden incident, the flights were all full, and finally he got the business class of a certain flight through the relationship of American Express. After leaving the car in a hurry, I took a taxi to the airport. I called Jenny a lot on the way, but they were all turned off.


    An Feng sighed, it seems that the pigeons will be released again tonight.


    After connecting two flights, we returned to SLO. It was already evening, and the old John who came to pick him up said that the power had been restored, but there seemed to be some problems with the equipment. When An Feng inspected it himself, he found some faults. According to the method of the machine brain, he restored the machine to normal.


    It''s okay, I came back in time, and there was no danger. An Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he have time to turn on the phone. The secretarial service indicated that there were more than a dozen calls, and he knew it was from Jenny without thinking about it. It is probably already eleven o''clock in New York. annoying.


    The phone was connected, and Jenny''s voice came: "Bruce, where are you? Are you okay?"


    "I''m here at SLO." An Feng bit the bullet and explained, "Due to a sudden incident, I ran back without contacting you."


    "Oh." Jenny was deeply disappointed on the other end of the phone.


    "I''m really sorry!" An Feng said.


    "I waited for a long time, I thought you had an accident," she said.


    "I''m really sorry, the matter here is finished, I will fly back to you tomorrow, how about it?"


    "This..." Jenny''s tone hesitated, "Bruce, can I tell you something?"


    "OK, tell me!" An Feng said.


    There was silence for a long time, "Bruce, have you considered our personalities and preferences? We are always in a hurry and cannot get together."


    After hearing this, An Feng sat down and sighed: "I also think we are too tired like this. You like to roam around and live a wonderful life that attracts everyone''s attention, but I just like to keep a low profile, be rich and pursue enjoyment. Like you said, we have a lot of different pursuits."


    Jenny sighed for a while: "I thought about it for a long time at night, and I always feel that this is not good for us. We are all too tired."


    "Then we split?" An Feng proposed.


    "Well, that''s it, we parted. Thank you for bringing me happiness, bye."


    "Bye and good luck!"


    The call was cut off, and An Feng stared at the phone for a while, in a daze. In fact, as early as when Jenny showed enthusiasm for chasing her dreams, and he just wanted to keep a low profile and leisurely, he thought that this relationship could not last. Today''s scene was expected to be honest, even if it was avoided today, it would happen sooner or later.


    "Let''s let nature take its course." An Feng put down his phone. He is an optimistic person, or a person with a good attitude. If it suits him, he will be together, and if he doesn''t, he will separate.


    Lying on the bed, looking at the night sky outside the window, counting the stars for a while, then suddenly beating his chest and stamping his feet: "Damn! I knew I was going to call that French girl! Ahhh!"

 Chapter 43： missing a partner

    Chapter 43 lacks a companion


    Grape picking has been going on in various places in the past few days. The weather is fine, and the vineyards are full of busy scenes. Picking workers, machines are constantly shuttling between the vineyards. The labor cost has risen to a weekly salary of 1,000 US dollars, but the supply is still in short supply. Some people who are impatient simply use machines to pick.


    An Feng was one of them, holding a baton, and went back to sleep with a wave of his hand. Only 20 acres of grapes in the huge vineyard are picked by hand. It took three days. The grapes that look good will be used to make wine. The remaining 200 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, if the current artificial quantity, I''m afraid that if the grapes are rotten, they won''t be able to finish picking them.


    Picking is all handed over to the machine. An Feng stayed in the laboratory to observe the progress of the tissue culture of the transgenic grapes, and said to Old John: "According to my personal prediction, after about ten to fifteen days of cultivation, buds will emerge, and adjustments will be made two to three times during the process. The rest is easy."


    Old John took a pen and recorded the key steps An Feng said in his small notebook. An Feng looked at his records and nodded: "These are the relevant steps. If I happen to be away in the future, or there are other delays, you can follow these steps to take care of the plants."


    Old John accepted the notebook and asked, "Bruce, can these really change the growth pattern of grapes?"


    "Of course." An Feng said confidently, "It grows extremely fast, and it will be transplanted into the ground in about one and a half months of tissue culture. By this time next year, it will be able to harvest the first batch of grapes. I believe that by these The wine made from the plant must be excellent."


    "It''s unbelievable!" said Old John.


    "Let''s wait and see." An Feng smiled, and suddenly thought of something: "But I still have a question, can genetically modified wine be accepted here? I remember that France also studied grapes against grape diseases before, but they were criticized by local vineyards. Lord''s strong protest."


    Old John thought for a while and said: "California allows the research of genetically modified grapes. A few years ago, there was a yeast gene chain that prevented drinking headaches, but the market response was not very good. Of course, as long as it is certified by the food safety regulatory agency , it is no problem for it to face the market.��


    "Sure enough, everyone still has concerns." An Feng muttered. Genetically modified, many people talk about it, partly due to lack of understanding, but also due to its unknown nature, its safety needs two to three generations to verify, but what kind of product can wait for sixty or seventy years?


    An Feng is also one of the diehards. He resists the forced sale of genetically modified food, but it is different now. The technology in the machine brain has been verified for hundreds of years, and more than ten generations of people have been safe and sound. What else can be wrong? Of course, the right to choose is given to the public, and he has nothing to lose anyway, and the right is an experiment.


    Putting these concerns aside, An Feng spent the next few days following the winemaker''s addiction to wine making. Firstly, the bunches of grapes that are picked back are destemmed first, then the grapes are pressed, and the juice is fermented. Due to the maturity of modern technology, traditional oak fermentation wine tanks have been gradually replaced by stainless steel wine tanks, but some old wineries, such as Lafite Chateau, still use some traditional craftsmanship to complement tradition and modernity.


    An Feng felt that he didn''t think too much about the details. It was a good thing to be able to brew red wine. Anyway, he didn''t pin his hopes on this batch of grapes. This time, I want to gain more knowledge, at least do enough superficial skills, don��t tell everyone that I am the owner of the winery, but I don��t even know the process of wine making, right?


    One day at noon, Joanna and Frank visited.


    Joanna is studying in Berkeley. The distance is not too far. It takes only three hours to drive. When she is free, she will occasionally come back to play for a few days.


    Served them a cup of tea, An Feng sat down, and Frank said, "Bruce, I''m here to talk to you about grapes."


    "Please tell me." An Feng said.


    "I want to buy grapes from your vineyard, because last year''s sales were good, and there are plans to expand the scale of winemaking, but the planting area of ??the garden is limited, and other vineyards have reservations for wineries. It is not easy to find good quality grapes , I heard from Joanna that you are doing well here."


    An Feng listened and nodded: "No problem, the grapes I picked here are all waiting to be sold. The quality seems to be good, but I am not familiar with them. The picking work is handed over to Old John. If you have How about I ask him to come over and talk to you about this intention?"


    "Thank you," Frank said.


    An Feng called Old John, and learned from him that there were still some grapes left in the vineyard that had not been sold. Frank came to the door to solve this problem. After a few minutes of discussion, they decided to go to the park to see if the quality was suitable. If so, sign the contract.


    To be honest, these grapes don��t make much money, and if they can cover the expenses in Anfeng, they will be very happy.


    Joanna stayed. She was not very interested in picking grapes, but she knew how to taste wine. An Feng chatted with her about the red wine. Joanna knows a lot about high-quality lifestyles, which may be related to her background. When it comes to high society, she is extremely skilled.


    In the middle, she went to answer the phone, and came back with a sad face.


    An Feng asked concerned: "What''s wrong? You look very depressed."


    Joanna glanced at him, and said helplessly: "I have a dance next Saturday, and some seniors from the sorority will attend, but they are required to bring male companions."


    "You mean the fraternity in college?" An Feng asked.


    Joanna nodded: "Yes, the sisterhood has some seniors who work in various fields. They will make an appointment to come back, exchange current affairs with us, and impart experience."


    An Feng didn''t come into contact with a fraternity when he was in college, but he did join a club, which is about the same nature. However, fraternities and sororities are more active. They usually gather like birds of a feather and divide into groups. There are high-end and low-end. The high-end is basically an elite club in the university, such as the DKE fraternity at Yale University. Form a network of relationships all over the country, members include many US presidents in history.


    They are looking for a job after graduation. It just so happens that the executives of the company are also members, or friends, and they know each other through banquets and other forms. Do you think they will get special care? This is for sure, especially the brotherhood of high-end elites, the members are in politics and business, and their strength is not bad.


    Americans who are good at sociability, as early as in college, they used fraternities to lay the foundation for their future career. After graduation, all parties are friends, and the social circle has been divided. �� An Feng looked at the disappointed Joanna and expressed deep regret.


    Joanna suddenly looked at him, and An Feng suddenly felt horrified. She said pitifully, "Can you do me a favor?"


    "You mean..." An Feng asked hesitantly.


    "Yeah." Joanna nodded with a smile.


    "But I..." An Feng just wanted to refuse, but seeing the anticipation in Joanna''s eyes, he changed the phrase: "Are there many single girls there?"


    Joanna replied: "The prom requires male (female) companions, in a way to promote the fellowship of fraternities and sororities, to create opportunities."


    "Oh, on the one hand, it''s communication, and on the other hand, it''s a red line. I understand." An Feng nodded in understanding. "Sounds good!"


    Joanna suddenly asked: "Wait, don''t you have a girlfriend?"


    "The past tense." An Feng said, but then asked with a smile: "Are there many beautiful girls who only have temporary male companions, but are not boyfriends?"


    Seeing him repeating it twice, Joanna thought about it seriously, and said, "As far as the ESC sisterhood I belong to, there are quite a few girls who don''t have boyfriends."


    "Do you think I''m old?" An Feng asked.


    Joanna shook her head. Yellow people don''t look old, at least they are younger than white people of the same age.


    "OK, I promise you." An Feng said with a smile.

 Chapter 44： attend the meeting

    Chapter 44 Attending the meeting


    The temperature in October began to drop, and the fierce sunlight softened. An Feng tried to enjoy the last sunshine in California. He lay on the recliner and flipped through magazines. The biological brain was moving, and the machine brain was also moving: biology, medicine, electronics...he found The stuff is pretty random and occasionally works.


    He lacks patience, and the more powerful it sounds, the more difficult it is. At present, he can only focus on one or two unique ones that will produce short-term benefits. Such as computer technology. biological computer? Very difficult, almost all gibberish. Quantum computer? Even more difficult, it needs to solve the problem of high energy consumption... Abandon these broad concepts, narrow down: microcomputer, narrow down again: processor chip, continue: graphene chip.


    "Graphene?" An Feng muttered silently, and the information he found showed that it has the ability to replace modern silicon-based chip processors and become the next generation product. It''s not as advanced as a quantum computer, nor as difficult as a biological cell computer. One generation ahead, relatively easy to implement.


    "That''s it!" An Feng selected, in addition to fertilizer technology and genetically modified grapes, the third next-generation technology to be extracted by him.


    Days passed, still no clue, but his car came.


    The McLaren P1 he ordered arrives. Because I took someone else''s order, the order had been placed for more than two months when I paid the bill, and the production was seven months in total. When An Feng''s patience was almost exhausted, it finally arrived. Excited, he flew to Los Angeles and took a taxi to the gate of McLaren.


    I saw this black beast in the exhibition hall, and walked around it. The body design is simple and clear. Except for the transparent engine grille and square exhaust pipe, there seems to be something missing at the rear of the car��the taillights. In fact, it is hidden in the rear of the car in the form of a line, and the LED taillights only appear when braking.


    After confirming that the limited number is correct, An Feng handed over the key. An Feng opened its windy gull-wing door and bent down to get into the car. Because the chassis is very low, it feels like sitting on the ground and driving, which is not comfortable. Start the car and slowly back it out. There is not much fuel left in the fuel tank. He walked to the gas station. During the process of feeding this beast, the passing drivers all took out their mobile phones to take pictures, which made An Feng''s vanity feel better. Great satisfaction.


    P1 is a hybrid sports car, with a total output of 976 horsepower from the engine + electric motor, and the acceleration time from 100 kilometers is maintained at about 2.8 seconds. When an Audi A4 accelerates to 100 kilometers per hour, P1 has already soared to 200 kilometers per hour. And its top speed can reach more than 380.


    It also uses a kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) similar to F1, which converts energy into electric energy of the battery during braking, and then releases it when the electric motor accelerates. So there is a saying that it does not need to be charged. When the battery is low, it is enough to slam on the brakes a few times.


    Having said so much, there are cars with faster acceleration and higher speed than it, but not all cars can be called "road racing cars". With the help of strict aerodynamic shape, crazy designers will The performance of a road sports car is close to that of Formula One, which can be called a masterpiece.


    ��


    On Saturday afternoon, An Feng attended the meeting.


    The black P1 is galloping on the road. After a few days of driving, I feel that there is a disadvantage of driving a supercar: I have already exceeded the speed when I step on the accelerator. scare you. Fortunately, American highways are designed to be straight and there are few cameras.


    He is going to the San Francisco area, strictly speaking, the city of Berkeley. The area that really belongs to San Francisco is very small, but it is surrounded by several dense cities, and Berkeley is one of them. It is located in the northeast of San Francisco Bay, about ten kilometers away from San Francisco. It��s hard to say that the Americans are all stuck together. Wouldn��t it be enough to classify it into one city? Divide so many administrative units to find something to do?


    Follow the prompts of the navigator and find the University of California, Berkeley. UCB should be the best public university in the United States. Although An Feng only knew Harvard, Yale and MIT before coming to the United States, UCB is ranked among the top ten in the world, often in the top five, and won the first place in terms of academic rankings. With the existence of Silicon Valley, its engineering is naturally at the forefront, but its business is not inferior, education and law are equally strong.


    Driving into the campus with a strong academic atmosphere, An Feng felt that he graduated from Yeji University, but it was just a short thought, he was too lazy to think about it so much. He raised his hand to look at his watch, the time was accurate, and he sent a message to Joanna when it was almost time, and she wrote back to tell him to wait. An Feng pulled over and played some lyrical music to wait.


    When it comes to UCB, one cannot help but think of the name it bears: the University of California system. If you check carefully, there are really many branch campuses of the University of California, such as Berkeley, Los Angeles, San Diego, Davis, Santa Barbara, etc., with a total of 230,000 students, which is about the same as the population of a small city.


    An Feng looked at his phone boredly, and then looked at the pedestrians passing by and taking pictures outside the window. The P1 has a high rate of return. Most people can only look at cars worth more than one million dollars in their lives. . An Feng smiled at them, and after a while, Joanna called: "Hi, where are you?"


    "It''s right where you said, oh, I drive a black sports car." An Feng looked out the window.


    "Did you change the car? Black...I saw you." After Joanna''s voice fell, a white Aurora came in front of him, "Come with us."


    I followed Aurora for a while and came to the student dormitory area. There is no domestic high-rise apartment scene. Most of the dormitories in American universities are townhouses with three or four floors, and the environment is good. They stopped in front of one of the houses with a certain fraternity sign. After getting off the car, An Feng gave the lady a thumbs-up as usual: "Shocking!"


    "Thank you!" Joanna smiled.


    She was wearing a little black dress with stiletto heels, her hair was specially coiled, she was wearing jewelry and necklaces, and she was holding a long Chanel wallet in her hand. It is not complicated by the standard of attending a formal ball, but that kind of elegant temperament is innate and cannot be imitated. It is like no matter how expensive the upstarts wear, they still look like nouveau riche, and a lady like her who has been influenced by aristocratic culture, Demeanor is fundamentally different.


    A girl beside her who was dressed in the same grand attire asked curiously: "What did he say?"


    "Praise me for being beautiful." Joanna said a little proudly. "Let me introduce you, this is my friend Daisy. Daisy, this is Bruce, the great inventor."


    "Hi!" Daisy waved to him.


    "Hello, Daisy." An Feng nodded.


    "Are you an inventor?" Daisy asked, looking at the cool sports car next to her, "A real-life version of Iron Man?"


    Joanna covered her mouth and smiled.


    iron Man? An Feng smiled slightly: "I personally have some original ideas, and I can be regarded as an inventor."


    Wait until Daisy''s male companion also arrives, and everyone enters the arena together.


    Standing in the living room, you can see that there are men in suits and leather shoes and young and beautiful ladies. As the headquarters of the fraternity, the layout of the house may seem simple, but it is very thoughtful and elegant. An Feng speculated that it should be an elite society, at least not the kind of fraternity that only had fun and nonsense.


    There are some snacks on the long table, people who are hungry can chat while eating, but there is no alcohol. That''s right, you can only drink alcohol after the age of 21. Some of them here are freshmen and sophomores, and I''m afraid they are not old enough. The host thoughtfully put on colorful drinks, everyone thought about it and chatted comfortably.


    "There are members of a fraternity and a sorority here today, and the ratio of male to female is equal." Joanna said next to An Feng, "After the official start, the two presidents will speak, and then everyone can drink and chat. There will also be some music for everyone to dance to.��


    An Feng accompanied Joanna for a walk, and found that the atmosphere was not too lively, and there were not many scenes of men and women singing happily. Most of them were in the circle of men and women. As for the girls he is most concerned about...the quality is high, but the quantity is scarce, and most of them are well-known. Finally came to the conclusion: cheating.


    Not all American college students are as passionate, partying and singing every night as shown in the movie. That''s just a part, most of them appear in ordinary universities, top universities like UCB, many of them are relatively conservative... nerds who like to study knowledge.


    An Feng turned around... Nima, this is a nerd party!

    Continue to ask for recommendations and clicks, the last new book list will be next week, and I am still stuck in the urban classification...

 Chapter 45： silicon killer

    Chapter 45 Silicon Killer


    An Feng turned back disappointed, and ordered two drinks.


    "for you!"


    "Thank you." Joanna took the drink, saw the disappointment in his eyes, touched him with her arm, and whispered, "Are you feeling bored?"


    "Yeah. I thought it was the wonderful college student carnival in the movie." An Feng rarely hides his emotions in front of Joanna, and they have always been good friends who talk about everything.


    "The motivation is not pure." Joanna popped out a Chinese word, and then she gloated and changed to English: "I didn''t get what I wanted, right? Here are a bunch of nerds, everyone is about to graduate, and they are pursuing ideals that are in line with reality , I don��t like young men who talk too much.��


    "The words you said have multiple meanings." An Feng chattered nonsense with her out of boredom, "First, you said ''all'', which means you admit that you are also a nerd, and then ''boasting'', I want to say that I was wronged, I''m very serious, okay? In the end, young man... thank you for that!"


    Joanna gently covered her mouth and said, "I can''t laugh anymore, the makeup on my face is going to be messed up."


    "You look beautiful without makeup." An Feng took a sip of his drink, then raised his chin, motioning for Joanna to turn around: "Your friend is looking for you."


    Joanna looked back at the girls and said hello. They invited her to come over. Joanna turned her head and before she could speak, An Feng said very understandingly: "Go quickly, don''t worry about my feelings. I''ll treat this place as a cafeteria at night, don''t say you know me."


    Joanna held back her laughter and left a sentence: "I will treat you to tea tomorrow."


    An Feng listened to the talks of people from all walks of life: the experience of being a general manager, being a CEO, etc. Then the dance party started, music was played, some people were inviting dance partners, and some were still chatting together. He came to the table and walked around with the plate and fork, his stomach full.


    "Sorry." A voice came from behind, and An Feng turned his head. It was an Asian man wearing glasses, wearing a gray suit, and holding a plate in his hand.


    "Is it blocking you?" An Feng took a step back.


    "No, I want to ask, are you from China?" the Asian kid asked.


    "Yes, I''m from the south." An Feng said in Chinese.


    "I''m from the north. Let me tell you, I don''t think you are Korean." The other party also spoke in Chinese, with a northern accent. He wiped his hands and reached out to An Feng.


    An Feng shook hands with him: "Can the stick be as tall as me?"


    The other party agreed with a smile: "That''s right, Bangzi really doesn''t have your temperament. My name is Song Wenrui, a graduate student of UCB School of Engineering, and I will graduate next year. What about you?"


    "Me?" An Feng laughed, "I''m not an international student, I graduated a long time ago, this time I''m here to make up the money."


    "Oh?" Song Wenrui also smiled, "It''s really strange, usually the girls come here with the boys from the fraternity, and it is rare to see...men who are not from our school."


    "How should I say it?" An Feng asked him.


    Song Wenrui glanced at the gradually bustling crowd on the dance floor, and said, "Most of them here are well-educated, commonly known as nerds, with weak communication skills and not very popular."


    "Not necessarily, look at the winners in life over there!" An Feng looked at the girl next to Zuo Nan, feeling a little bit like a flower in cow dung.


    Song Wenrui saw what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Girls nowadays are smart and like to find a boyfriend who is stupid, as a long-term investment, because after graduation, nerds can rely on excellent grades to work in big companies, and the salary is very good. Excellent, stable income, and a bright future. And those active, handsome boys from the school team, who are loved and admired by girls, except for a very small number of those with family backgrounds who can go smoothly after graduation, the others are not as good after graduation. The wages of nerds are good, even less than half."


    An Feng thinks it makes sense, this is called reality. He said: "What about you, you know so thoroughly, why don''t the other half introduce you?"


    Song Wenrui smiled a little shyly: "Not here, it''s in a different place."


    "Domestic?" An Feng asked.


    "No, she is of Chinese descent and lives in USC." Song Wenrui said with some pride.


    An Feng understood: "It''s not too far away. It''s better to be close, and the relationship will not be unfamiliar."


    Song Wenrui glanced at him and asked, "Would you mind talking about your own work? As someone who has been there, give me a reference, so don''t go astray."


    An Feng shook his head: "I''m afraid I don''t have much experience to pass on to you, because I''m an investor, doing some business, and looking for other investment opportunities."


    "Then your family must be very rich." Song Wenrui said.


    "A little bit." An Feng smiled, "What about you? A master''s student in an engineering school, you should be doing computer work, right? There are a lot of multinational companies in Silicon Valley to choose from."


    Song Wenrui smiled wryly: "The major I am studying is a bit ahead of the curve and has market prospects, but at present, graphene is lukewarm, have you heard of it?"


    More than just hearing about it, he probably knows more than anyone else in the world, An Feng said without changing his face: "I know, the new material, known as the ''silicon killer'', as the core problem of the processor, once it is solved, it will be fully introduced to the market. , the silicon technology of AMD and Intel will usher in the end."


    Song Wenrui said: "I like the description of ''silicon killer''. However, it is estimated that graphene will be in a downturn in the next 5-10 years. Its hot spot is that it can change the market, but there are many difficulties. Its stability is insufficient, and its small area The cost of graphene has been greatly reduced, but large areas are still difficult..."


    Engineering men can''t stop talking about this knowledge. What''s more deadly is that An Feng just recently discovered these advanced technologies. His views and theories are impeccable, and Song Wenrui''s shock is no less than that of devout believers who have the opportunity to meet God and ask him questions.


    It was like meeting God.


    What can graphene do? There are too many to mention. The most obvious is to replace silicon chips, such as a commercially available household microprocessor, its main frequency is between 2-3GHz, and the nature of silicon limits its leapfrog development. If you use graphene, it can easily reach above 300GHz, even 1000GHz, what does that mean? If a certain chip company masters this technology now, it will be no less than dropping a nuclear bomb on the chip market!


    Thinking about it again, mobile phones, tablets, PCs, notebooks... all need this technology, and its influence may be no less than that of Microsoft, which was born in the past.


    This is enough? The application of graphene is far more than that. What are the current technical shackles of electric vehicles? Battery! Recently, the very famous Tesla electric car uses the same lithium-ion battery as a laptop. What kind of electric car revolution is this?


    Graphene can change all this and make it into a supercapacitor, which has a large capacity, long life, and shortens the charging time to less than 10 minutes. It just needs to come down in cost so it can replace lithium-ion batteries, and the EV revolution will really begin. It also includes other electronic products. It is no longer a dream to charge the mobile phone once a week.


    There are other military, electronic technology and other fields, graphene can bring about major reforms. Some people say that silicon should be played in the 20th century, and charcoal should be played in the 21st century.


    The two chatted a little dry. Song Wenrui drank a glass of water and said with a smile: "The future is beautiful, but if you want to realize it, the reality is too cruel."


    "How long do you estimate it will take?" An Feng asked.


    Song Wenrui thought for a while: "I dare not give an exact time for full popularization, that is too far away. However, it will take five or six years at the earliest for formal application."


    "According to you, this research work is not very clear at present."


    Song Wenrui nodded: "It''s like gambling. If the time for technological breakthroughs is fast, we people will be able to enjoy the benefits of technological explosions earlier. If it is slow, major breakthroughs will be made decades later, and this life will be useless. The development of science and technology , will always sacrifice the youth of countless pioneers.��


    "Then do you want to return to China or develop here after graduation?"


    Although it was a bit strange for An Feng''s question, Song Wenrui still said seriously: "The domestic attention is not very high, and the technical environment is not good enough. You know, technology pioneers mean low salary and hardship. If they are not taken seriously, I''m afraid There is no first day, so I choose to stay for now."


    "Find a job?"


    "Not yet. Large companies currently don''t invest much, and the treatment for interns is very low. If I don''t have enough time, I can only choose a more suitable one for the time being. I will get the work visa first." Song Wenrui said. The words are a bit helpless, but there is no stage for ambitions.


    An Feng''s last question: "Will you work for me?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 46： SF at night

    Chapter 46 SF under the night


    This is a life changing opportunity. But now Song Wenrui doesn''t know what it means. After thinking about it, he first asked: "What kind of environment and treatment can you provide me?"


    Hearing his question, An Feng assured him: "Just don''t worry, although it''s not as good as those big companies, at least it allows you to display your abilities without restraint."


    Song Wenrui was tempted, mainly because during the conversation with An Feng, he learned that his knowledge of graphene was not less than his own, and even had a wider range of knowledge, and he was very optimistic about its development prospects. Having a like-minded boss is obviously better than staying in a big company that is hard to get ahead.


    "May I ask the name of your company?" Song Wenrui asked.


    "Haha!" An Feng laughed awkwardly, and patted Song Wenrui on the shoulder, "We are still waiting for investment, but don''t care about these details. As long as you have a plan, direction, and money, everything will be easy to handle. The key It��s whether you have enough imagination to do it well.��


    Listening to An Feng''s words, it seems that the research is not difficult and the results will be produced immediately. Song Wenrui felt that he was too optimistic. He said, "If it is what you said, I would like it. But buddy, I have to say something. It''s better to relax your mentality when dealing with it."


    How can An Feng maintain a normal mind? After several days of research, he has dug out a corner of the next-generation computer technology, and graphene is just one of the chips. If he had enough materials and machines, he could develop them himself, but he was lazy and rich, so why did he do it himself?


    An Feng and Song Wenrui agreed to continue the conversation tomorrow, and Song Wenrui also recommended a friend of his own to discuss more details together. An Feng naturally wanted it, the plan required a lot of manpower, one or two would not be enough, if Song Wenrui could get a hundred, he would immediately give him a promotion and a salary increase.


    The evening dance turned into an academic exchange.


    ��


    After having breakfast at the hotel, An Feng immediately drove to UCB. Last night, we agreed to meet Song Wenrui in front of the Engineering College building.


    A few minutes later, a Focus approached.


    Walking down were Song Wenrui and a gentleman who looked like nerds wearing black-rimmed glasses.


    Song Wenrui stepped forward and introduced: "This is Mr. An Fengan, an investor. This is my friend Tian Hao, who is from China and is also a professional in this field."


    "Nice to meet you." An Feng greeted Tian Hao.


    After Tian Hao got out of the car, he took a few glances at An Feng''s exaggerated sports car, and then focused on An Feng who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. When he heard what he said, he was stunned before he realized it. , also stretched out his hand to shake with him, and finally he said: "Hello, Mr. An."


    An Feng wanted to say a few words of greeting, but Tian Hao asked hesitantly, "I heard that you have the technology for large-scale mass production of graphene?"


    Come on, it seems that everyone is a nerd.


    No nonsense, lab work. The room is full of computers, instruments and small-area finished products. The environment of engineering men is nothing more than this. After An Feng sat down, he chatted with them from the beginning to the end. The two half-engineering men got together, especially when someone opened the cheat, and the time was obviously not enough.


    But for real mass production, it involves a wide range of areas. R&D requires core theories, production requires machine tools, and materials require funds and contacts... This will be an industry involving multi-field cooperation, but Anfeng has been able to solve the most difficult core technical problems. Most of the others need money to solve.


    After some conversation, An Feng felt that Song Wenrui and Tian Hao recommended by him were both good. They were both high-achieving students with strong professional qualities and young people with high enterprising spirit. Giving them an internship salary of 3,000 U.S. dollars would be enough. In other places, they may not be able to get this kind of treatment and recognition.


    After discussing the afternoon tea with Joanna, it became a trip to San Francisco together. Joanna set off with her best friend Daisy, An Feng and two engineering men. An Feng parked the car back at the hotel and took Song Wenrui''s car. There is no way, P1 is too cool, and it is easy to attract crowds when running on the street.


    San Francisco - The urban area is a typical "mountain city", with continuous uphill and downhill, with a **** close to 30 degrees, known as a manual transmission killer. If you are not familiar with the road conditions and driving, you will not be able to see clearly at the bottom of the slope. When you rush up and suddenly find a red light and brake suddenly, it will extremely test the driver''s psychology and reaction.


    After voting, everyone decided to go to Fisherman''s Wharf and eat seafood. The hobbies in terms of food are the same. Joanna doesn''t care too much about the image of a lady. Anyway, the diners around don''t care. A large portion of Dankinis sea crab is full, and then there is special clam soup, seafood bread...a paradise for foodies.


    Spent an afternoon eating and chatting. In this regard, An Feng is at the level of a master. He can be in a daze for an entire afternoon without anyone to accompany him, not to mention there are two girls. Daisy is very interested in some of his creations and experiences, and talks about any topic. Joanna occasionally talked about some embarrassing things about An Feng, and kept laughing and laughing. On the contrary, Song Wenrui and Tian Hao talked a little less, maybe they are not used to talking freely with foreign Yanmars.


    Daisy looked at An Feng and said: "Bruce, I find you very interesting. Well, I feel very relaxed chatting with you, and often ignore your gender."


    "Haha!" An Feng laughed, "But I don''t like the rainbow flag on Castro Street."


    Both Daisy and Joanna laughed, and the rainbow flag fluttered on Castro Street, which is a famous **** street. 40% of the residents along the street like men and women. If you hold hands with your brother or best friend there, put a shoulder or something, you will be cast a look of "this is true love" by others.


    Daisy propped her chin and asked: "How long will you stay here? There are many interesting places in San Francisco, shall we stay together when we have time?"


    An Feng looked at the two engineering men beside him, and said with a smile: "It depends, I need to discuss some business cooperation with the two scientists."


    Daisy asked: "What''s the matter? Can Iron Man share it?"


    An Feng convinced her. This girl had only met him twice. After hearing Joanna''s description, he nicknamed himself Iron Man.


    "New technology, in the graphene field." An Feng stopped at the beginning of his speech. He looked at the two ladies, and they all looked at him suspiciously.


    "You are all from business school, right? Are you familiar with investment?" An Feng asked.


    "We have learned it before." Daisy said, with big light blue eyes, cute blinking, a little freckles on her face, just like a little girl.


    Unfortunately, this is not An Feng''s style. He said: "There are some things I want you to refer to, which are related to the operation of a new company."


    "Just say it." Joanna was very confident.


    An Feng shared his investment ideas. The two business elites use their brains very well. Combined with An Feng''s situation, they refer to other examples to get the ideal value and help him calculate. In the end, if they want to completely independently produce and put into production, it will cost millions or even tens of millions of dollars. Of course it is a simple calculation.


    An Feng has been spending too much money recently, and there are still about two million in the account. How to get the money? I am a bit reluctant to continue selling diamonds, and the market is not good recently. The annual demand for top-quality diamonds is limited, and urgent sales will definitely not achieve the ideal value. So this method is not adopted, we must think of something else.


    Chatting until the evening, Song Wenrui and Tian Hao had to leave first because they still had part-time jobs to do at night. It is very common for foreign students, even college students in the United States, to do some part-time jobs when they are studying. One is to accumulate experience, and the other is to subsidize their pocket money. It is not cheap to study in the United States. The better private universities are 50,000 to 60,000 a year, and the public universities There are also about 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars. After finishing college, you need to prepare at least 200,000 US dollars, not including food and drink.


    The two carefree girls, Daisy and Joanna, bother to go shopping, and An Feng sacrifices his life to accompany the gentleman... In fact, they insist on threatening a ride, and An Feng, who has no car, can only humiliately agree. Walking on the street with two twittering girls, the classic sentence: We only look at it, not buy it.


    In the end, I still bought some. The two girls put their things in the car happily, and Daisy said, "How about we go to the bar tonight?"


    Joanna hesitated and said, "There is still class tomorrow."


    Daisy said, "That was in the afternoon."


    "Just this time!" Daisy said pitifully, and turned her gaze to An Feng again: "Iron Man, Joanna is worried about safety, can you accompany us?"


    Joanna gave An Feng an apologetic look.


    Facing Daisy, who was using tricks such as being cute and coquettish, An Feng nodded helplessly: "Okay, but it''s not as fun as you imagined."


    "That''s right, a bunch of drunks." Joanna said uncomfortably.


    "I don''t want to go to that outdated bar!" Daisy said with a smile.


    I found a stylish bar that looked good, but after entering it, there was a burst of noise. A large group of fashionable men and women were cheering, and upon closer inspection, it turned out that they were engaged in a beer PK. An Feng ordered them cocktails for ladies, usually with a lot of juice, bright colors and trendy collocations. It''s very popular with girls.


    Joanna doesn''t like crowded and noisy environments, and An Feng also feels that she doesn''t fit in with her temperament. On the contrary, Daisy was very happy. She squeezed into the crowd to watch the beer duel between the two wine kings.


    The losers behind invited the people in this area to drink, which made it very lively, and An Feng also took advantage of it. But Daisy seemed to be drinking too much, and her walk was a little crooked. Joanna was worried, so she suggested that it was time to go back. An Feng supported Daisy and left the bar while listening to her talking nonsense.


    Different from the liveliness in bars, the streets at night are very deserted.


    "I haven''t played enough!" Daisy said vaguely.


    Joanna looked at her worriedly and said, "You drank too much."


    "No." Daisy said.


    Joanna frowned: "You drank too much!"


    "No."


    Joanna opened her mouth, but An Feng stopped him with a smile: "Don''t fight with drunk people, you can''t win."


    Daisy leaned her head on An Feng''s shoulder, forcing him to lower his right shoulder a little and pay attention to supporting her arm. Daisy said, "Iron Man, that''s very kind of you."


    "Yes, I am the best." An Feng smiled.


    "I want to kiss you." Daisy said.


    "No!" Joanna said.


    An Feng smiled: "You will regret it when you wake up tomorrow."


    "No, it won''t." Daisy flicked her head, but she just couldn''t find the direction.


    The three of them passed an intersection, turned and walked towards the parking lot. The street lights along the street were a little dim, and a gust of wind blew in, and I couldn''t help shivering.


    Suddenly, there were two more guys in front of him, and he was suddenly startled.


    At night, two black men are wearing black clothes, hiding in the dark without smiling and showing their white teeth, how can people see the road when you are invisible��


    Daisy looked at them confusedly: "Why don''t you leave?"


    An Feng motioned her to look ahead.


    "Shut your stinky mouth!" One of the gun-wielding black men yelled. He was wearing loose sweatpants, holding his pistol sideways. Another black companion was obviously more skilled, threatening with a knife in his hand: "We only want money!"


    Joanna''s complexion changed, and Daisy was more than half awake.


    "The money is here! You go now!" Joanna calmly took out her wallet. Robbery is generally only for money, no one is willing to kill people.

 Chapter 47： help

    Chapter 47 Help


    Actually encountered robbery.


    But... the two black buddies who robbed didn''t seem to be familiar with it. The guy holding the gun was holding the gun with his body crooked. Sure to knock them out��provided there aren''t two ladies.


    Joanna took out her wallet. Americans generally don��t bring much cash when they go out. They usually use cards. The cash is also tens of dollars in change, mostly used to pay tips. So in European and American countries, black people like to rob people of yellow race the most��because they always bring a lot of cash with them.


    Obviously, An Feng meets the standards of a yellow race, and then he took two young girls, typical winners in life, indicating that he has a little money. These two guys have bright eyes, and they hid in the dark in advance, and jumped out when they came over. Seeing that both Joanna and Daisy were pulling out money, the black buddy with the knife threatened: "Keep the mobile phone and jewelry too!"


    An Feng is not happy anymore, he can just take the money, and there is no need to take risks for dozens of dollars, but his mobile phone has a lot of important information, and the watch on his wrist is also worth forty to fifty thousand dollars. An Feng''s eyes signaled the two girls to back off. Since they wanted to die, in line with the fine tradition of the Chinese nation - the beauty of adults, they had no choice but to fight.


    At this time, a person came from the other side of the parking lot. The black man with a gun turned his head vigilantly. The man with the knife stared at An Feng, seeming to be a little alert.


    Walking was a big man, he couldn��t see clearly in the dark, but he wasn��t invisible, he should be a white man, and the black buddy with a gun shouted: ��Who the **** are you? Get out of here!��


    The big man stopped, as if confirming something.


    "Give-me-scroll-off!" The black buddies used classic lines, pointing their guns at the big man. The big man hesitated, turned and left.


    "Coward!" The black man with the gun smiled and turned his head, shouting, "Hurry up! Keep everything valuable!"


    An Feng''s pupils suddenly contracted��the big man who turned and left turned back without warning and started running wildly. The target was the black man with the gun. His speed was so fast that the two guys who were holding the money and the phone didn''t notice. This scene was slowed down by the machine brain: the big white man rushed to the back of the aware black man with the gun and grabbed it with one hand. The gun, strangled the neck with one hand and pulled it back.


    An Feng also moved at the same time. He flew out and kicked the black man with the knife in the stomach. This kick was so powerful that he kicked him four or five meters away, and then turned around like lightning��the sound of the "bang" shot scared him He jumped! The black man who was knocked down pulled the trigger in a hurry, and the bullet flew out against his forehead, and the rolled up airflow scratched his cheek sorely.


    An Feng''s biological brain was unable to react in time, but the robotic brain had already made him make body movements.


    Jumping forward, grabbing the opponent''s gun-holding wrist with his left hand, and clapping his right hand from bottom to top. The two movements were made together, and with a sound of "gaba", the black man''s index finger holding the trigger was broken, and followed by An Feng, he pulled the pistol back violently. Then he pulled it into his hand and quickly turned the gun - but the black man on the ground rolled his eyes and was already strangled unconscious by the big man.


    "Be careful!"


    Daisy suddenly yelled, and An Feng looked back. The black man who had been knocked down by his foot just now got up crookedly, picked up the sharp knife on the ground, and before An Feng could react, Joanna kicked off her high heels to greet him. He got up and kicked the **** man between the legs. I don''t know if it''s a hallucination or what, An Feng seemed to hear the sound of the egg breaking, and then the **** man knelt down to protect the *** with both hands like a conditioned reflex.


    Joanna took a step back, kicked him in the face twisted in pain with a whip kick, and the big man fell to the ground. Daisy exclaimed, An Feng admired.


    Joanna turned around and came back, An Feng gave her a look of admiration, and then said to the big man who got up from the ground: "Thank you!"


    The big man patted the dust off his body, and was about to speak when the siren sounded.


    The big man''s face changed, and before An Feng could ask any more questions, he ran away. An Feng was stunned to see that after he ran more than ten meters, the police car chased him to the side of the road, stopped abruptly, and two policemen jumped out of the car. Hiding behind the car door, pointed the gun at An Feng and the big man who was running away, and shouted: "San Francisco police! Stop!"


    "Drop your weapon! Hands up!"


    An Feng threw away the pistol and raised his hand. Joanna and Daisy did the same. They explained, "We are the victims!"


    The police came towards them vigilantly with guns, and the fleeing big man continued to run, but he stopped after the police fired their guns into the sky.


    A policeman stared at An Feng vigilantly, while the two girls explained the process of the matter. Another policeman chased after him, pointed the gun at the big man, made him kneel on the ground with his back turned to him, handcuffed him from behind, and escorted him back. After a while, two more supporting police cars came.


    After explaining what happened to An Feng, the police cleared up the misunderstanding and knew that the three of them were victims. As for the big man who helped, he was suspected and failed to release the handcuffs. The police took them all into the car and sent them to the police station for investigation. An Feng and the two ladies took notes separately.


    An Feng immediately asked Lei to help him find a local lawyer, in case the two black men wanted to bite back, or if the big man had any involvement in the case, a good lawyer would at least restrain the police. While waiting for the lawyers, the police did not rush to deal with them.


    Joanna and Daisy, as ladies, get the privilege of two glasses of water.


    An Feng said to Joanna: "You were so brave just now!"


    Daisy said with lingering fear: "The moment she walked up, I was so scared that my heart stopped beating. I thought she was stimulated to do crazy things."


    Joanna raised her right hand to show them, "Actually, I was also very nervous, and my hand is still shaking."


    An Feng comforted: "It''s okay, no one can hurt you."


    Joanna nodded, and her face gradually eased.


    At this time, the lawyer came. An Feng had never seen him, but the other party had his simple information in his hand. The lawyer came to the scene, and the police also came to work and take notes.


    Basically nothing happened. One of them was transferred to the hospital shortly after being sent to the police station. The black man who robbed originally wanted to sue Joanna for being too defensive, but the lawyer here made him deflated after a few words. To really fight, the blacks need to face public prosecution, as well as civil lawsuits on Anfeng''s side. In a lawsuit with a rich person, the final result is a complete defeat, and maybe a few more charges will be added.


    An Feng was relaxed, and the lawyer helped to speak, but the situation of the big white man was not very good. The police could not find out what case he had, but there was one thing that involved the Immigration Bureau: he did not have any documents that could prove his identity , no driver''s license, no passport, nationality unknown.


    At the request of the lawyer, the police disclosed some not-confidential information: People from the Immigration Bureau will come to deal with it, but judging from the accent, this person is probably Russian, and this kind of illegal smuggling is not the first time I have seen Yes, basically they will be forced to repatriate after identifying fingerprints and accents.


    An Feng asked his lawyer: "Is there any way to help him?"


    He didn''t want to interfere with the immigration affairs, but the other party helped them. Although he was sure to handle the situation at that time, he couldn''t guarantee that there would be no accidents. There are some things he doesn''t want to owe, especially after the other party is deported this time, it is estimated that he will never meet again for the rest of his life.


    Joanna and Daisy clearly shared the same sympathy.


    The lawyer thought for a while and said, "Depending on the situation, the most effective way is to help him apply for political asylum."


    "Political asylum?" An Feng thought for a while, "I need to see him."


    Since the big man has no case and is guaranteed by a lawyer, it is easy to arrange a meeting. But there was not much time, so he cut to the chase and said, "Hi, hello, can you understand English?"


    The big man raised his head, with a beard all over his face, with hair on his arms and body, light gray eyes, and a high nose bridge, he looked very aggressive.


    "I can understand a little bit." He said. No wonder the police are so sure that he is from Russia. Can the police not recognize this full-mouthed Russian accent?


    "My name is Bruce, what''s your name?"


    He looked at An Feng for a few seconds, and said in a low voice, "Gu Li."


    "Thank you very much for helping us in the parking lot, Guli. I already know the situation. You are likely to be forcibly deported by the immigration bureau. Are you willing to go back?"


    Guri shook his head: "I can''t go back, I can''t go back." He repeated, looking a little nervous, he resisted the word deportation.


    "Don''t be nervous, relax, maybe I can help you." An Feng said.


    Guri raised his head, staring at people with those wide eyes, a little scary, he said: "As long as you don''t send me back, I am willing to do things for you!"


    "Ahem, pay attention to what you say!" the lawyer reminded.


    Guri grinned: "I was just joking."


    An Feng shook his head: "I don''t need you to do anything. How long have you been here? Forget it, let''s talk to my lawyer, don''t hide anything, he will help you."


    Guri nodded heavily: "Thank you!"


    An Feng said to the lawyer: "Please, please do your best. Money is no problem."


    "It will satisfy you, Mr. An." The lawyer said with a smile.


    After An Feng finished taking notes that night, he went back with his two girls. They also cared about what happened to Gu Li. No matter what he did before, being able to lend a helping hand to strangers who have never met before is admirable. An Feng told them not to worry, he would try his best to help him.


    The next day, the lawyer informed him to go to the police station.


    I saw Gu Li in the police station. He looked a little tired and smelled of sweat, but he looked good, and he took the initiative to say hello to An Feng.


    The lawyer said to An Feng: "The application materials for political asylum have been submitted, and he will go to the immigration office for an interview in about a month. However, during this month, if he wants to move freely, he must have a guarantor and pay 100,000 yuan. Guarantee fee in US dollars. Mr. An?"


    "Need me to guarantee?" An Feng said.


    "Yes." The lawyer said, "He has stayed for too long, this is the best way, otherwise he will be temporarily detained."


    An Feng glanced at Gu Li, who was nervously listening to them, and wanted to help people to the end, so he agreed: "Okay, what do you want to sign?"


    An Feng signed a guarantor agreement and paid a guarantee fee of US$100,000. Guli also signed it in both American and Russian languages. The English transliteration of the name is quite long. An Feng spelled it out in his mind, Guli Savvadievich Korotayev. It seems that he did not lie last night.


    After signing, An Feng asked the lawyer: "What if he fails the interview?"


    The lawyer said: "Nowadays, the chance of passing the immigration interview is very small, basically it will not pass. So you need to prepare in advance to go to court and let the immigration judge decide. Don''t worry, the lawyers in the same firm as me have been arguing in court for so many years , never fails."


    After the matter was dealt with, An Feng left, but there was one more person��Gu Li. An Feng was very puzzled why he still followed him: "There is still a month before the defense."


    Guri scratched his head and said with a smile: "I said that as long as you help me, I will do things for you!"

 Chapter 48： good at teaching people

    Chapter 48 is very good at teaching people


    As a result, An Feng had a huge follower beside him.


    They ate a three-point meal (two in Guri) at a restaurant. An Feng looked at him, this guy is very tall and strong, his figure over 1.9 meters is extremely burly, standing next to him, he will unconsciously realize that he is a second-class cripple, and he can see a concealment in the depths of his eyes Unstoppable ferocity.


    Although Gu Li didn''t say it, the origin of this kind of person is definitely not simple. If it is some kind of Russian mafia, wouldn''t it be asking for trouble?


    An Feng wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said seriously: "Guli, you know that the reason I help you is out of gratitude, not because I want you to do things for me."


    Guri looked up at him, holding a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, with pieces of pizza still sticking to his mouth. He seemed to think for a while, and then said: "I know, you are a good person. But what I said before, don''t will violate it, and I can be your bodyguard until the interview begins."


    Bodyguard? An Feng frowned, he is not a super rich man or a political figure, what kind of bodyguard do he use!


    An Feng asked in confirmation: "So you decided to follow me?"


    "Yes." Guri said.


    "Then what will you do?"


    "I''m good at teaching people!" Gu Li counted his fingers, "I can use guns, be familiar with light weapons, use torture, drive a car, drive a helicopter, and drive an assault ship..."


    "Oh! Please! I''m a pacifist! I don''t need mercenaries!" An Feng felt dizzy.


    Guri grinned: "But there are always accidents, like last night, isn''t it? I don''t think a gentleman should show violence in front of a lady."


    "When did you become so good at talking?"


    "I memorized some movie lines." Gu Li said shyly.


    An Feng is sweating profusely, he''s so honest. He continued: "Okay, I also want to confirm that your previous experience is your privacy, but in this land of the United States, have you committed a crime? Will it involve me? Tell me honestly , I don''t want to get into trouble for no apparent reason."


    "No..." Gu Li avoided An Feng''s eyes, "Well, there is one thing, but I can guarantee that the police did not file a case! I have had conflicts with the locals, but I did not provoke them on my own initiative. I can no longer stand idly by when gangsters attack women."


    "Again?" An Feng heard the word clearly.


    Guri''s eyes changed, and he nodded: "Yes, I hesitated before, and then a very unfortunate thing happened, I can no longer stand idly by."


    "Is this why you shot last night?" An Feng seemed to understand.


    "Yes." Guli nodded.


    "Okay, you stay until your visa is approved." An Feng said to him.


    Guri grinned again.


    "But I have many rules." An Feng hit him.


    ��


    Called Joanna and told her that Guli''s matter had been dealt with and there were no major problems. After she left a few words of blessing, she then contacted Song Wenrui. The matter of cooperation has been discussed, but the specific division of labor has not yet been clarified. They plan to call a few more people to discuss.


    The experimental process is not important to An Feng. He has the complete steps in his mind. It can be said that he can draw engineering drawings with a pen with his eyes closed. However, the experiment can check the understanding of Song Wenrui and Tian Hao''s graphene technology, which is convenient for them to arrange the focus of their work in the future.


    This is a complex project, not only including core technology research and development, but also a full set of production workshops, involving various precision machines, machine tools, etc. In order to make this graphene, he needs to be familiar with high-precision machine tools, high-grade synthetic materials... a slight move will affect the whole body.


    This time I changed the location, instead of UCB, but the University of San Francisco where Tian Hao studied. There is not much difference, but it is convenient for Tian Hao to attend classes.


    Give Song Wenrui a brief introduction to Gu Li, and set off with him.


    There are many universities in the San Francisco area, the famous ones are Berkeley, Stanford and other institutions. The University of San Francisco where Tian Hao studied is not eye-catching in front of these big heads, but there are many Chinese students, and it is private. That being said, scholarships are generous.


    Song Wenrui led the way with a car in front, and An Feng''s sports car followed behind, crossed the Oakland Bay Bridge, entered San Francisco - the urban area, and continued uphill and downhill. The University of San Francisco is built on a hillside, looking for a parking space on the campus, and there are vehicles coming in around. Just as Song Wenrui''s car was about to get into an open space, a black Audi R8 drove up from the other side. As soon as the other party honked the horn, it just blocked it and let Song Wenrui retreat first.


    A head protruded from the window of the R8 car, Chinese��because he cursed people in Mandarin: "Hey! Your eyes don''t look at the road! The four-eyed boy on the street!"


    After finishing speaking, he stepped on the accelerator a few times, and the engine roared. Song Wenrui didn''t want to compete with this kind of person, and wanted to retreat, but An Feng''s car followed behind, and the road was narrow, so he couldn''t retreat. The other party also noticed this and got out of the car, followed by two white men from a GMC car behind.


    "Stand back! Fuck you!" the white man yelled in English.


    An Feng frowned when he saw the four arrogant guys outside. They came first, and that road was obviously not for vehicles going against the road. These guys were really arrogant. Seeing An Feng''s expression, Gu Li pushed the door and got out of the car without saying a word. Before An Feng could speak, he had already come to the other party.


    The four people saw a big man approaching menacingly, and they froze for a moment. Gu Li had already come in front of them, pinched the necks of the two Chinese in front of them, lifted them up with each hand, put them aside, and then came to the white man with a calm expression. In front of him, Shen Sheng asked, "What do you two **** want?"


    The two white men looked up at the ferocious Gu Li, most of the momentum disappeared, and saw that he got off a valuable sports car, which was inferior in terms of financial resources and strength, and said sensiblely: "It''s okay, I misunderstood you. .�� Then he returned to the car in despair, backed up and left.


    The two Chinese looked at Gu Li with some fear, and the helpers had left. They dared not stay, but they managed to leave a threat: "You wait!"


    Gu Li turned his head and smiled triumphantly at An Feng.


    An Feng took it.


    After parking the car, Gu Li heard that he was going to do a boring experiment, he immediately shook his head: "It''s better for me to stay below to help you look at the car."


    Whatever he wanted, An Feng asked Song Wenrui as he walked, "Why are those foreign students so arrogant?"


    Song Wenrui said contemptuously: "They are all from the second or third generation from China. They either have money or are officials. They don''t know anything else when they come here. They use money to make friends. Have you seen those white people? They all use money Otherwise, how could they make friends with a yellow man who can''t even speak English well?"


    "No way, foreign students can''t even speak English well?" An Feng was surprised.


    Song Wenrui explained: "There are two kinds of international students. One is the real scholar, who can learn slowly even if he doesn''t understand. The other is the rich and powerful. It''s okay now, at least they can use money. In the past, they just I like to get together with my own people and not participate in other activities. What do you think you can learn by hanging out all day? English? Some people go back to school after four years and don��t learn English, but they can speak the domestic dialect so smoothly!��


    An Feng smiled: "That relationship is not called studying abroad, it should be called luxury overseas travel for compatriots!"


    Song Wenrui didn''t like them very much: "They are all very rich, buy sports cars and live in luxury houses. Some foreign students are still in China, so they call the local car dealers to order sports cars first. When they hold a party, they are like Luxury car show! In some small cities around universities, the economy is completely driven by overseas Chinese students, more than half of the sales of luxury cars come from this group of wealthy students, and smart dealers have hired Chinese-speaking Chinese to sell them!"


    "What''s this called, foreign private customization?" An Feng said mockingly.


    Song Wenrui curled his lips: "But it deserves it. Those people with background think that sending their children to study will be successful. Who would have thought that they only learned how to play and drink, and no one can control them. In the past, they were always blackmailed by black people and bullied by white people. Now the two The brains of the kind of people are all bright, and they say that if you hang out with them, you can pay as much as you want every month, and there is even marijuana smoking. The white students laugh behind their backs that they are rich reptiles!"


    An Feng said with emotion: "Then it''s better to stay in China. At least there is a powerful father. Someone will take care of whatever happens. Money can solve problems. Harmony and stability are the most important thing. You don''t need to come here to enjoy being bullied and blackmailed." , do you have money but don��t know how to settle your troublesome life?��


    Song Wenrui also didn''t understand: "Who knows what their parents think, the moon is round in foreign countries? Maybe they want to get an identity, or maybe they want to transfer assets from unknown sources. This trend is getting worse and worse. Polarized, one side is particularly well-educated, and the other side is very rich."


    "Hey, don''t care about them, just do your own thing." An Feng looked up at the laboratory number, and unconsciously arrived at the place.


    Song Wenrui agreed: "Yes, what my parents bring cannot be changed, but I have the ability to change my own!"

 Chapter 49： If you dont die, you wont die (Part 1)

    Chapter 49 If you don''t die, you won''t die (Part 1)


    Busy until the evening, An Feng got a satisfactory list.


    Song Wenrui and Tian Hao recommended their classmates, and they were all worried about their jobs after graduation. An Feng offered a higher-than-average internship salary, and promised to double his salary after becoming a full-time employee, and provide a good environment. The most important thing is that An Feng knows more than anyone else. This is an irresistible academic temptation.


    Keeping the list of those who are interested in joining the research team, An Feng and Song Wenrui first signed a power of attorney, prepaid a check of 10,000 US dollars, and asked them to collect information for themselves, and then called Secretary Lei, intending to establish a new company , I''m afraid I''ll be busy in the future.


    After bidding farewell to Song Wenrui, he walked towards the parking lot. When he saw Gu Li sitting on the steps with his back to him, he realized that he hadn��t paid him. It��s past seven o��clock. Maybe this guy is hungry? Unexpectedly, when he walked over and took a look, his guilt disappeared completely, this guy was eating chicken legs!


    "Hi, Bruce!" Gu Li greeted him, and picked up the packaging bag in his arms: "Do you want to try the chicken legs that are willing to fight chicken?"


    "I don''t eat these." An Feng shook his head, "I''m curious, I remember you don''t have any money with you, where did these come from?"


    Guri wiped his oily mouth and said, "Those guys brought some hippies in for trouble this afternoon, and then I talked to them."


    An Feng saw the sporadic blood stains on his clothes, and frowned, "Just talk?"


    Gu Li smiled: "Boss, you are so smart, I kicked their ass, but they did it first. I was here to guard, and they threatened to smash your car. When a **** said that, she said back to Falk and their mother, and they surrounded her."


    Gu Li''s level of storytelling is very average, but An Feng can hear the hostile relationship inside. Those guys in the afternoon are really small-minded, and they can come to the door for such a trivial matter, but after listening to Gu Li''s rhetoric and his comfortable eating chicken legs The appearance, it is estimated that the other party has suffered a lot.


    "And then?" An Feng looked at him.


    "There''s still this money, they use it to change their teeth." Gu Li took out the crumpled dollar bills from his pocket, and there were quite a few 100 denomination bills.


    "Okay, take this money!" An Feng pushed it back with a strange expression. The boss hasn''t paid the salary yet, and the employees themselves have contributed...


    An Feng originally wanted to say something like staying away from violence and loving harmony, but it didn''t work at all for this guy who only takes fists and doesn''t take reason. Besides, those guys were too arrogant, smashing his car? Who are you? If An Feng was present, he would have to break their dog legs.


    Take Shang Guli for a trip to Chinatown and eat some Chinese food.


    Gu Li is not picky eaters at all, don''t look at him eating Kenda chicken just now, as soon as he sits on the dining table, he can immediately continue eating with full power. An Feng stared blankly at his Russian style of eating, his appetite was stimulated I woke up and ate two bowls of seafood porridge, two fried dough sticks, a plate of griddle chicken and pork ribs with pumpkin.


    Gu Li ate the ribs and kept praising: "Chinese food is delicious! It''s even better with some sauce!"


    An Feng looked at the dishes on the table, then at the surprised diners around, and explained to himself in Chinese: "Actually, I don''t know him."


    Finally, An Feng paid the bill and left a tip of fifty dollars.


    When driving back to the hotel at night, Gu Li, who was sitting in the co-pilot, frequently looked at the rearview mirror. An Feng asked strangely, "What are you looking at?"


    "Behind." Gu Li said mysteriously, "There is a car following us."


    "Have you watched too many Hollywood movies?" An Feng raised his head and looked at the rearview mirror in disbelief. There are a lot of headlights, so what''s unusual?


    "Trust me." Gu Li said seriously, "You increase the speed to about 120 to 150. This speed is the best way to judge whether you are being followed or not."


    "If you are stopped by the police, you will spend the night at the police station tonight." Although An Feng said so verbally, An Feng still stepped on the accelerator skillfully, and the sports car soared to a speed of 150 per hour in a few seconds. In the urban area, the road is wide, the vehicles are scarce, and it runs smoothly.


    Guri stared at the rearview mirror, and said in his mouth: "There are at least three cars following us. You turn left three times at the intersection ahead and go back to the original road."


    An Feng stepped on the brakes, downshifted, passed three turns at high speed with the quality of a professional driver without panting, and easily detoured to the way he had just come. "Pull over and turn off the engine!" Gu Li said suddenly. An Feng''s reaction was also quick, turning the direction and braking to the side of the road, turning off the engine.


    About six or seven seconds later, a few loud sports cars caught up and passed him. An Feng looked out the window at an R8 passing by.


    "It''s the people from the afternoon." Gu Li said.


    "I don''t have revenge with them for killing my father, right?" An Feng wondered, how small are college students these days?


    "Who knows," Guri said, "Maybe they just want to race you."


    "Damn! If you think about it ten thousand times, why don''t you just go up and find out!" An Feng started the car and chased after them. Those guys were still chasing after him. He followed behind and flashed them a few times with high beams. Then speed up and run parallel with an orange Aventador. Both sides rolled down the window at the same time. An Feng saw an Asian girl with smoky makeup and big earrings. She looked like a rebellious girl.


    An Feng asked impatiently, "What are you doing?"


    Smoky girl said in English: "Come with us if you have eggs in your crotch."


    "Crazy!" An Feng said.


    The white man who was driving leaned over and said, "We have something to talk to you about. It''s just in the outskirts of the city. Don''t play tricks. Dare you go?"


    "Lead the way!"


    It''s still early tonight, it''s only eleven o''clock. I was too full just now, so I thought it was a walk after a meal to help digestion, not to mention that I have a bodyguard.


    "Most of them are foreign students who don''t have green cards and dare not play with guns." Gu Li understands these principles.


    Now it''s even better.


    Followed the convoy to the outskirts, strictly speaking, it was beyond the city of San Francisco. I don''t know what they are doing, but there are very few vehicles on the road. When driving along the Neiwan Expressway, the cars in front all pull over and stop with their lights on. A large group of young people in different costumes gathered on the side of the road. Some of the car trunks were opened, and the modified speakers came out bursts of sound waves. There were also some hot girls in cool clothes dancing to the music. It was very lively.


    Stopped at the side of the road and got off the car, people came over immediately, there were men and women, the leader was a white man with the same height as An Feng, followed by a Chinese man, staring at An Feng with a bullish face, it was the arrogant man in the afternoon Chinese students. But when he saw the vicious Gu Li behind An Feng, he shrank his neck.


    The white man stood up and said, "Do you dare to race with me? The one who wins will take the opponent''s car."


    An Feng squinted at the Lamborghini he was driving, and said with a sneer, "As for your car, if you sell second-hand cars, you can only buy four wheels from me. Are you insane?"


    The white man''s face froze, and Gu Li laughed like no one else.


    The Chinese came forward, took out a transfer check from his pocket, and said proudly, "Did you see it? If you win, I''ll give you another one million knives!"


    "Is this how you wasted your family''s money?" An Feng asked him with a smile.


    "It''s none of your business how I waste it, anyway, there are a lot of people in China who are willing to send money to my daddy!" The young man felt arrogant again when he said that.


    "What''s your father''s name?" An Feng asked.


    "Li��fuck you!" This guy was almost fooled, but the girl next to him pulled him, "Tony, he''s trying to trick you!"


    Tony glared at An Feng, and said, "How about it? It''s not your car, nor his car, but the same BMW, dare you hurry up!"


    "That''s still my disadvantage, I never ran here." An Feng said.


    "Run for you! Run until you vomit!" Tony said generously.


    "Where''s the car?" An Feng asked.


    "Over there!" Tony pointed to three BMW M3 sports cars lined up side by side, painted in black, white and blue, waiting quietly.


    "Then come." An Feng smiled slightly, and threw the key to Gu Li. I chose a white M3, got on the car and started it, and turned it around a few times. It felt good. Since I dared to choose a car for myself, it meant that I would not touch the car. I just need to turn on the machine brain mode. Run a few more times, the chance of winning is very high, since they want to die, how can I not cooperate?

 Chapter 50： If you dont die, you wont die (Part 2)

    Chapter 50 If you don''t die, you won''t die (Part 2)


    As for the white guy, the technique looks good, but only good, not at the level of a professional driver.


    Since An Feng bought a Ferrari, he has been tossing sports cars a lot. Besides, Paso Robles is a small city with many roads but few cars. When he is in a whim, he will go to the suburban no-man''s land for a while, and eventually he will learn to drive. Running under the speed limit, stepping on the accelerator and no longer thinking about the bad habit of braking.


    He drove the M3 and was led by someone to run a few laps. The starting point was set at the foot of the mountain. He passed through South San Francisco. There were mountain roads and slopes, and he came back in a circle. It took 20 minutes to run at normal speed. In the racing mode , It is estimated that twelve minutes will be almost the same. Maybe even shorter, depending on the opponent.


    An Feng is making small calculations, and Tony and the others are also making small calculations. Of course, the white man is not a professional driver, but a small owner of a nightclub, but he is a member of the sports car club and often runs this road, so they bet on An Feng No matter how many runs tonight, experience can''t make up for it.


    After checking the vehicles, the two sides with their own ghosts stopped side by side behind the red line.


    A racing girl in a cool top and shorts was holding a firework signal stick, shaking, and suddenly squatted down. Two cars, one black and one white, rushed out at the same time, leaving behind a harsh friction sound and the roar of the engine , There were also sports cars following behind, wanting to get first-hand information.


    There is a short straight line ahead, just step on the accelerator, the test is the timing of shifting. An Feng tried every car just now, and his own judgment is the most reliable. There is not much difference between the three cars, but it is certain that the ECU (travel computer) has been flashed, and the sound of stepping on the accelerator is particularly high-pitched. It is estimated that the rear row was also modified.


    But... An Feng glanced at the black M3 beside him, who was neck and neck, and wanted to play with him, but he was still a bit short.


    ��


    Guri remained where he was, staring at Li Tony with a sneer on his face. Although he wasn''t sure if An Feng could win the race, the skills he got out of just now, if he wasn''t particularly proficient in racing, ordinary people would never be able to do it. Based on his feeling, that white man''s driving skills were not as good as An Feng''s.


    Tony was a little scared by Gu Li''s smile, and he felt a little worried in his heart. He stood on tiptoe and looked at the road ahead, and the time passed by. About eleven minutes later, the sound of a sports car was heard from a distance, and the crowd was boiling. They picked up their mobile phones and cameras, and pointed at the road ahead and the finish line.


    An Feng bit behind his opponent in the first half of the race, and overtook in the second half. Since the complete road conditions were stored in his mind, he came down several times in a row. The racing technology is brought into full play.


    Two dazzling headlights swept over, and the audience''s eyes couldn''t help squinting. The sports car got closer and closer, and the sound of acceleration became louder and louder��the ear-piercing sound was accompanied by a strong wind, and a white M3 crossed the finish line. They burst into cheers, and ten seconds later, the black M3 was long overdue.


    "Well done! BOSS!" Guli cheered while holding a beer bottle.


    With a dark face, Tony looked at the dejected white man who got off the black M3 in disbelief. He slammed the car door angrily and kicked the tires a few times. His temper was so hot that even his partner who wanted to approach him was hesitant. . Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded from the walkie-talkie: "Not good! There are police!"


    Before the race, they arranged a sentry post to hide in a high place. Once they found the police, they would report to the police immediately.


    The crowd broke up and got into their cars. Obviously, this was not the first time they had to deal with such a scene. As soon as An Feng over there got off the car, Gu Li over there chased after Tony.


    "Stop!" Guri yelled, "Motherf-cker!"


    He accelerated to catch up, jumped forward, threw Tony down, punched him in the face without saying a word, grabbed his collar and cursed, "Where''s the money! Where''s my boss''s money!"


    Tony begged for mercy: "Don''t hit me! The money is in my pocket!"


    This sentence is quite fluent in English, and I guess I used it a lot before.


    Guri touched his pocket, and took out the check, on which his name, amount and date had been signed, except for the name of the payee.


    After checking everything was correct, Guri patted him on the face: "I remember you, if you don''t have a million, you just wait to **** the chimpanzee!" Then he kicked him.


    An Feng rushed over with the P1 and shouted at Gu Li: "Get in the car!"


    Guri ran back with the check, while Tony ran to his R8 in a panic, took a woman and left in a hurry, and disappeared in a flash.


    An Feng followed behind, and the siren sounded after a while.


    "BOSS?" Gu Li looked at him.


    "I''m not leaving." An Feng slowed down the car, "I''m not speeding, I''m not driving fast, and the police have the right to arrest me when I''m driving normally?"


    "Aren''t you afraid they have undercover agents?" Gu Li said.


    An Feng black line, can you tell me sooner?


    The police yelled to stop the black sports car in front, An Feng obeyed obediently, and put his hands on the steering wheel. Joanna once emphasized that when being stopped by the police in the United States, it is best to put your hands where the police can see Don''t touch your phone, driver''s license or anything else.


    Maybe he will be shot.


    Waited quietly in the car for a while, the police car behind pulled over, but no one got out, probably looking for An Feng''s license plate number. Half a minute later, a tall policeman got out of the car, put his hand on the holster around his waist, came to the car, knocked on the window, and signaled An Feng to lower the window.


    An Feng did as he did, raised his head and smiled and asked, "What''s the matter, officer?"


    "Driver''s license, vehicle insurance policy." The police said routinely.


    An Feng handed over these things.


    The policeman glanced at An Feng''s California driver''s license and said, "Someone reported you for illegal racing."


    "It has nothing to do with me." An Feng said.


    The police sneered, and said: "I hope the judge thinks so. According to the law, I must take you back to the police station to cooperate with the investigation."


    "No problem." An Feng said, "Can I drive along?"


    The police originally wanted to decline, but many police officers were chasing down those racing gangsters tonight, and there was no manpower available, so they agreed to let An Feng go ahead.


    This is the second time I entered the San Francisco police station, this time the lawyer was quite fast. Just as An Feng got out of the car, the lawyer also arrived. No nonsense, I told my own experience, and vaguely mentioned the illegal racing. After thinking about it, the lawyer said that the matter can be big or small, depending on the result of the arrest tonight.


    Facing the police, An Feng followed the example in the movie: "I only talk to my lawyer."


    Things changed later, and there were casualties.


    After the police received the report from the informant, the police in San Francisco and South San Francisco quickly organized police forces to arrest them. After most of the drivers came to their senses, they pulled over and stopped. Anyway, watching and not participating is not a big crime. A small number of high-flying people had accidents, and a few of them drove too fast into the sea, and were rescued by the police in embarrassment.


    But this is not the most important thing. A thrilling chase scene was filmed by the helicopter of the TV station tonight. For some reason, a black R8 refused to stop. But where is the sports car rival? Anyway, the police chased them in a panic, the TV helicopter in the sky, and the police helicopter chased at low altitude, and it was very lively.


    In the end, when there was an interception in front, chasing soldiers behind, and spikes on the ground, the R8 had no way to escape, and the police car pushed the R8 out of the roadside... Then there was the scene that An Feng saw in the news in the morning: the sports car was hit When they got to the side of the road, police cars surrounded him, and the policemen took aim with their guns. The two policemen covered each other and went forward to pull the car door, followed by the movement of the sports car.


    Finally, an ambulance arrived, and a certain blood-soaked Asian was carried on a stretcher, seriously injured and unconscious.


    "Ah oh!" Although the characters were coded, An Feng still recognized who drove the R8. There is no doubt that it is the foreign student named Tony.


    Due to the danger of their profession, the American police can shoot in self-defense when the driver resists arrest, especially in the case of entanglement with the police in drag racing. Everyone has an excuse to kill each other. Tony is lucky, but he is also stupid, he doesn''t know how to fight for opportunities for himself, after being stopped by the police, the only thing he can do is to hug his head and surrender instead of touching the car.


    This matter was posted on the Internet by local international students in San Francisco, which aroused heated discussions among domestic netizens. What are you talking about in China, you are used to being tyrannical, and no one dares to control you by running a red light and scolding the traffic police. Some people also said that the background of this person should be thoroughly investigated. Where did the money for the sports car come from? Is doing business tax evasion? Is the official corrupt? ...there is also the battle of fifty cents and cents: Is it a problem with the system that the police beating people in Democracy?


    In short, what happened in the United States is also in full swing in China.


    An Feng was different from them, the first thing he did was to cash the check: A dead fellow is not a poor fellow. Eighty-nine times out of ten, Tony will be deported, his account will be frozen, and the million checks may be voided in a second. He ran to the local bank to cash the check, and laughed three times after reminding him that the transfer was successful.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 51： organized, planned

    Chapter 51 Organized, Planned


    After the transfer was completed, An Feng said to Gu Li: "You performed well this time, caught that kid in time, and I will leave you a reward of 100,000 U.S. dollars."


    If Tony escapes in the chaos and the police and bandits chase him again, the result will be that Tony will be under police surveillance and protected by the hospital, so forget about the check.


    "This is the job of a bodyguard." Gu Li was not greedy.


    "Take it as a bonus." An Feng patted him on the shoulder, walked out of the bank, and added: "I''ll write you a check right away after you get your identity approved."


    Guri doesn''t have any identity now, let alone a bank account. In short, black people can''t do anything. After transferring the money, An Feng and Gu Li went to the police station. The matter is not over yet, last night An Feng was able to go back to the hotel to rest and not spend the night at the police station because of a lawyer''s guarantee, and he will continue to report today.


    When he arrived at the police station, the police ignored him. It is customary for him not to say anything until the lawyer arrives. After waiting for ten minutes, two lawyers invited by An Feng arrived at the scene at the same time. The police officer in charge of the case felt a headache for a while when he saw this scene. It was not the first time for these lawyers to deal with the police. He is eloquent and eloquent, and he can turn black into white with an iron mouth. There will always be loopholes in the law.


    In a lawsuit against this kind of rich people, if the charges are not very serious and the evidence is not very sufficient, it is basically impossible to fight against this group of people in France. An Feng hired two gold medal lawyers and paid an advance of 100,000 US dollars. His attitude was right there: I have enough money. From the police station to the court, let''s fight a protracted war.


    How could the police have so much energy to deal with this group of lawyers? They fiddled around with the court, not to mention wasting time in testifying, and ultimately they lost the case. In addition, this time there are only witnesses but no evidence. The witness is a police informant. He can prove that An Feng got into the car, but he cannot prove that An Feng is racing.


    Before the public prosecution was filed, the lawyer''s battle has scared many people away. Anyway, a lot of people were arrested. The matter has been attracted by the shooting of Chinese students who stubbornly resisted the police. The focus of the public''s attention is on Chinese students. Why bother to make a fuss over an insignificant person?


    The San Francisco police are not the FBI either. They don��t have that kind of quality, and they don��t have the manpower and financial resources to investigate to the end. Finally, after consultations between lawyers and police officers, a private agreement was reached. On the surface, it was a misunderstanding.


    On the third day, some tabloid reporters came. An Feng specially changed into a suit, shook hands with the energetic deputy director in front of the media, and said that the arrest and crackdown this time was very beautiful. The bureau supported the construction with 50,000 U.S. dollars, and the deputy director expressed his gratitude to Yun Yun.


    The matter was revealed like this, and both parties were happy and became friends.


    Before going home in the afternoon, Joanna and Daisy came out to have a cup of tea. By the way, they introduced Guli''s current situation and talked about what happened these days. After they heard what happened at the police station, they felt a burst of emotion and wished Gu Li to stabilize as soon as possible. After saying goodbye to the two girls, An Feng drove back to SLO.


    When talking about the police on the road, Gu Li has many opinions. He said: "The police are actually very dark, and money can definitely move them, especially the police in big cities. Basically, they have secretly cooperated with gangs. Gangsters give them leads, serve as informants, and the police give them the green light to turn a blind eye to the crime."


    ��During the days when I was fooling around after my visa expired, I encountered many incidents of police beating people.��


    An Feng said with a smile: "I remember the last time when the New York police asked everyone to post pictures of the family members of the police and the people on Twitter, the Americans collectively slapped them in the face. Guoguo really made the police lose face. Hearing what you said, the police are probably the same everywhere!"


    ��


    Back home, An Feng had more tasks.


    The cultivation of new varieties of grapes has entered the final stage. He asked Old John to hire people to push away five acres of grapes in order to plant new varieties on them.


    Considering that it would be a pity to sell the remaining 300 acres of grapes next year, I spent some time researching. Later, I found that although the several fertilizers of Tailan were targeted, such as soybeans and corn, they were used for other plants. It''s not impossible on the body, at most the effect is not strong.


    Slightly changed the ratio of some materials to make it more suitable for the growth of Cabernet Sauvignon. There is no such method in my head, so I can only let the machine brain verify it by itself. Later, I found that there is no major problem��and there is no major effect... An Feng will not For the second time, let Tailan prepare a few copies for himself in this way, private. It won''t hit the market just yet, and he''s not sure how effective it will be.


    The growth rate of grape seedlings is astonishing, and the specially proportioned nutrient solution shortens the growth cycle of grape seedlings by half compared with ordinary grapes. After the medium cycle is over, they can go to the ground to reproduce. An Feng was finally no longer familiar with this aspect. Fortunately, other workers did it on his behalf, and An Feng was happy to be lazy in the name of "watching".


    It is not the whole process of soy sauce, but also teach the workers the dosage of some special fertilizers. Since it is a three-no product produced in the laboratory, it can quickly promote growth. It should not be too much or too little. After the workers master it, apply it every week Once fertilized, it can grow tenaciously.


    After finishing the grape planting, he rarely thought about his future.


    A series of things proved that whether it is for fun or for a lawsuit, money is an important item��so he spent it very quickly. In addition to the one million received a few days ago, there is still two million in the bank account. The conclusion of the current consumption in the United States is that if it continues, it can last for three or four months.


    This is not acceptable, it is over before it even started, you thought it was an advertisement for a men��s hospital.


    An Feng has to find a way to make money��in his unique way. It''s definitely not possible to do everything by yourself, and I don''t have the patience to hire a bunch of part-time workers to develop the most profitable industry. In the end, it''s the employees who earn their money and count their own money��or even why should they count their own money? The staff counted the money for him!


    An Feng took a pen and jotted down the key words: "Be organized and have a plan!"


    "It''s best to spend a few years earning and spending a lifetime." An Feng drew his own blueprint on paper. A single way is too risky, sowing seeds in many ways.


    First of all, it is the most promising and profitable graphene field, which can even make competitors jump off the building. It can do too many things, from chips to batteries, to space materials... Some people estimate that its output value will steadily exceed one trillion US dollars. It can''t be that much, and one tenth of it is enough for a lifetime.


    An Feng put graphene research and development as the first priority.


    Scratch your head and think about it. From research and development to results, and then to mass production, there are multiple stages and it takes several years to complete, so start with the easy ones.


    Easy also means flawed. But it''s okay, there are defects to make progress. If the products sold last for a hundred years, how can I still make a lot of money?


    Graphene will take several years, and a single investment is too risky. The second project of Anfeng''s multi-faceted seeding plan is to establish a biological and medical research institute. This was stimulated by the last time at UCLA. He found that he knew a lot, but some small items needed to be sorted out.


    In fact, he can use knowledge or the Nobel Prize as a bait to poach the corners of those experts and let them work for him-if sorting out fine-grained data is also a kind of research... No, he has to try to pretend that his research results are partly credited It belongs to the brickmen.


    To overcome the worldwide medical problems, the market is also huge. What about cancer and AIDS, if you break through one, you will spend your whole life thinking about counting money. But similarly, the cycle is a bit long, several years. But apart from the mainstream ones, there are also some partial ones. Research centers can develop some antibiotics and the like to earn extra money.


    The last sowing plan is naturally a new variety of grapes. Although it is not as grand as the previous ones, it is at least a plan, right? An Feng felt that his patience was about to run out... He continued to scratch his head. There must be breakthroughs in the machine brain later on, and some venture capital would be fine once in a while.


    This is the end of the money-making blueprint, and the most direct item comes: money.


    If you don��t have money to play around, go around, if you want to make money, you still have to have money first. If you don''t have money, don''t try to make money.


    "Damn, hanging silk has no future!" An Feng grabbed his phone and called his assistant John: "Hi, John, I have something to trouble you."


    "Go ahead, boss," John said.


    "It''s like this. I plan to make some big investments, but I have some problems with the funds. I plan to apply for a loan from the bank. I don''t know much about the mortgage rate, interest, etc. I want you to make a form and send me the data. And Application template, try to make it as concise as possible.��


    "No problem, I''ll help you deal with these things right away." John said.


    After An Feng hung up the phone, Gu Li walked in from the door, and the voice came before he arrived: "Hey, BOSS! Are you there? I need to use your pickup truck to transport some stakes and iron nets to the vineyard To the north, Old John says there''s a section of it that''s fallen into disrepair and needs to be rebuilt."


    Guri is quite used to the life in the vineyard. After coming here for a few days, he made some friends. An Feng basically had nothing for him to do, so he went to work with the workers and watch others make wine when he was bored. It is said that more than a dozen bottles of wine left by the previous owner were also wiped out. An Feng went to the city to buy some vodka. When this guy saw the familiar Russian words on the bottle, he jumped three feet high and shouted "Ula" while hugging the bottle.


    "The key is on the wall." An Feng said without looking back, and then continued to bury his head in front of the computer.


    In the evening, John��s call came: ��I have sent you the relevant procedures, but the best way is to let me negotiate with the bank for you.��


    "That''s a good idea. I can''t handle so many things by myself." An Feng said with a smile, "I''ll set a time later. You should go on a business trip."


    "Okay," John said.

 Chapter 52：

    Chapter 52


    A few days later, An Feng took a flight to Los Angeles.


    Called Roger to make an appointment to meet at the banking department of American Express. After walking out of the airport, he met John Adams who picked him up, got in his car, and went to an address provided by Roger. He arrived about half an hour later, and after getting off the car, he gave a warm hug to Roger who came out to pick him up.


    "How are you doing these days?" Roger said.


    "It''s okay." An Feng let go of him, looked at Roger who was dressed in casual clothes, and joked, "Isn''t that how you go to work?"


    Roger smiled heartily: "If I hadn''t heard that you were coming, I''m afraid I would still be dancing at someone else''s party!"


    An Feng was speechless, this is the most capable employee of the year, right?


    "This is John, my assistant. Roger, my friend, the banker." An Feng introduced the two of them by the way.


    After the two also met, Roger walked in front and led the way: "Come on, friend! Let''s have a good chat and have a few martinis!"


    Facts have proved that high-end people are better than others even in part-time jobs. In a huge VIP reception room, Roger and An Feng are drinking, chatting and talking about sports cars, women and parties, and Roger Negotiate with An Feng''s secretary assistant and the like.


    In fact, the banking department of American Express is not very strong, at least not as good as giants such as ****, Bank of America, and Citigroup. The strongest of American Express is its ubiquitous travel services. Through these services, it provides customers with debit cards, Credit cards and travelers cheques. Therefore, its background service is very strong, such as Anfeng''s phone secretary who does everything, almost any request can be fulfilled through the huge background.


    Talking about the loan issue, Roger asked curiously: "A loan of nearly 100 million yuan, have you made any big moves recently?"


    "I found a way to make money." An Feng said mysteriously, "Are you interested?"


    "Tell me about it," said Roger.


    "High-tech, computer processor chips..." An Feng said a lot, including total investment, current development status and future, etc.


    After listening to Roger, he praised: "You are so brave!"


    "Because I have this ability." An Feng said confidently.


    "I wish you success!" Roger raised his glass.


    "Thank you." An Feng clinked glasses with him, "Having said so much, do you intend to join my next-generation technology army?"


    Roger said with a smile: "I don''t think you are here to get a loan, but to pull me into trouble."


    "It can also be said that I have to attract some investment to reduce my risk, right?" An Feng admitted without hesitation. Doing business with Americans is like fighting a war. There is no need to beat around the bush. After the negotiation is completed, everyone becomes Good friends like family. He has seen the last negotiation with Tailan.


    He is not short of money this time, what he needs is contacts, such as Roger, who has a wide network of connections behind him.


    Roger thought for a while, and said cautiously: "You have to let me think. To be honest, if you hadn''t said the word graphene to me today, I would have almost forgotten the ''charcoal gold'' craze a few years ago. At that time But it became popular. The Nobel Prize brought out graphene. The news media shouted that a new era has arrived. Graphene became popular overnight. one."


    An Feng said: "That''s different. The ones you mentioned are speculated through the relationship between supply and demand, and opportunism dominates, but mine is completely based on technological strength."


    Roger nodded: "Well, I believe you."


    Come on, no one is a three-year-old kid, so talking too much is useless. An Feng has a chance that has almost succeeded, like a gamble with a predictable outcome. He also offered an olive branch because he thought Roger was easy to talk to. As for whether the other party can seize this opportunity, it depends on luck.


    John and Roger''s assistants fought until the afternoon. An Feng and Roger played online games with their mobile phones idly, brushing each other''s records. After the battery was almost exhausted, the agreement was initially drawn up. With Anfeng''s high-quality diamonds stored in the safe of Express as collateral, the estimated value is 100 million.


    But banks are all vampires. It is impossible for them to give you a 100% mortgage rate, such as gold and diamonds. The major banks fluctuate greatly. The mortgage rate of 60 to 70 percentage points is the most common. Originally, AmEx gave 70% %, but John raised it to 80% after a verbal battle with the opponent.


    The agreement is 80 million U.S. dollars, calculated according to the market interest rate for the same period, and the principal will be paid with interest after three years, and the interest alone will be as high as 15 million U.S. dollars.


    An Feng browsed the contract, there are many clauses, and a lot of names need to be signed, but before that, a lawyer needs to check it. It is still a bit troublesome to handle high-value personal mortgage loans. Fortunately, the assistant John has full authority to handle it, and An Feng can only sign dozens of names with a pen at most.


    The matter could not be completed in one day. It was easy for Roger to pass, but it still takes a little time for the bank, especially for personal loans.


    After the discussion, the bank got off work, and Roger said: "Bruce, don''t you go back tonight? There is a party for young people at my house, do you want to attend?"


    An Feng thought about it, and staying in a hotel alone is quite boring, so he agreed.


    "I''ll see you off," said Roger.


    An Feng said to John: "John, go back first, I will inform you again if there is something to do."


    John nodded, took the briefcase and left.


    Walk out of the bank, get into Roger''s Maserati sports car and leave. Roger recommended a hotel with a good environment to him, and agreed to pick him up at night. An Feng took a shower at the hotel, changed his clothes and went to the restaurant to have some dinner. Western-style grilled steak, I have eaten too much recently, and it feels so-so.


    In the evening, when Roger came to pick him up, An Feng thought that the car would go to the suburbs. Unexpectedly, Roger drove directly to the city center, came to a block with dense high-rise buildings, and finally parked in the underground parking lot of a building. An Feng took the special elevator that needed to swipe his card to the top floor.


    "Wow, you can really play!"


    This was the first sentence An Feng said when he stepped out of the elevator. The mansion built on the roof of a building with more than 20 floors is two floors high, mostly in simple white tones, and the design is very modern and technological. Outside is an open-air swimming pool, the same as An Feng''s home, with a frameless design that overlooks the entire hustle and bustle of the city.


    "Not bad, right?" Roger proudly introduced the furnishings in the house to An Feng, "I bought this from a friend, and it took a lot of effort to redecorate it!"


    An Feng looked around, the room was very quiet, there were not many people, but there was constant music outside the room, and a large group of young people gathered to play around, most of them were beautiful women. A graceful body swims in the heated swimming pool, and the beauties in bikinis by the pool spare no effort to show off their beauty. Specially hired party waiters shuttle among them with plates, providing thoughtful service to every guest in need.


    "It''s really good!" An Feng was not stingy with words of praise. Luo Jie took An Feng all the way outside, and every girl and young man who came and went greeted him.


    Roger smiled and said to An Feng: "It''s right that you didn''t bring your girlfriend over tonight, because there will be a **** party for men and women!"


    An Feng was taken aback, wait, what does a **** party mean?


    Roger jumped onto the table and signaled the DJ to stop the music first. Clap your hands to let everyone''s attention focus on him, glance around first, and then say: "I''m very glad that you all came to this party tonight. Before the excitement begins, I will introduce a friend from China��"


    "Bruce!" Roger pointed to An Feng next to him with both hands, and everyone''s eyes fell on him.


    An Feng smiled, such a grand introduction is needed.


    "Bruce is the most compatible Chinese with me! He is not only a young rich man, but also a real version of Iron Man! But our Chinese friends are a little shy, let''s cheer for his arrival! Ladies and gentlemen! Tonight He must be made to feel the warmth of America!"


    The crowd below cheered, and the eyes of the girls lingered on An Feng. If a man of yellow race interested them in general, it would be different if they added a rich man. In addition, Roger''s exaggerated introduction was deliberately attractive, and then In addition, An Feng has a handsome figure after taking off his clothes��


    "Bruce!"


    "Bruce!"


    The wine glasses were delivered, and due to everyone''s enthusiasm, An Feng had to drink a full glass of beer to everyone. Roger gave him a thumbs up, then took off his shirt, and announced loudly: "The party has officially started !" The music sounded immediately, and a series of laughter and shouts came, An Feng turned his head and saw that the girls all took off their pitiful jackets, and they were all white. People don''t know where to put their eyes, and they don''t know whether to look at it or not to look at it. Isn''t this instigating a crime?


    Looking at Roger again, this guy doesn''t look out at all, he kisses, touches, sings, dances to DJ music with his sister in his arms, and keeps waving at An Feng, making him feel like he''s strayed into a pack of wolves, who knows His back and arms softened, a girl pushed him, another girl hugged his arm, and pulled him over with a smile.


    Unknown to An Feng, he was invited to the center of a large group of girls, surrounded by white meat, and they deliberately rubbed themselves on them. Depend on! You think I''m a bully, don''t you? An Feng looked at this group of arrogant girls, he might not be a man tonight, and he took on the mission of fighting against Yanma himself.

 Chapter 53： you Jianren

    Chapter 53 You Jianren


    The only thing An Feng felt when he woke up the next day was that his head was dizzy and uncomfortable. He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling above his head in a daze for a while, the glass door was open, the morning breeze blew in across the swimming pool, it was a bit cold, An Feng subconsciously wanted to pull the blanket, but when he turned his head, he was stunned.


    This is not a hotel.


    He was lying on a big bed. Why? Because there are one... two... three, three women lying on it. He pulled back the blanket to get up, well, the fourth one shrank under the blanket. Gently took her hand away from her stomach, sat up with her legs tucked up, rubbed her aching head to look for her mobile phone...the fifth one was lying on the wool carpet under the bed, sleeping in a daze, An Feng I patted her face and there was no response.


    He tiptoed to find the phone and the pants he threw on the ground, put them on in a hurry, and looked back for the last time before walking out of the room, oh my god, it must not be done by himself... After he walked out of this door, he gradually recalled what happened last night Absurd scene: everyone drank too much, had enough high, the minors went home, the grown-ups stayed, all naked, high spirits, doing whatever they had to do. An Feng pulled a group of Yanmars to the guest room, and then, like a perpetual motion machine, repeated on the woman, repeated and repeated.


    Recalling this process, I felt tired more than pleasure, and felt a little guilty. He doesn''t owe anyone, but there are so many people together, it''s a bit... To be honest, he had the idea of ??hooking up with girls before he came, but his intentions were pure, including only one! What''s going on with these five or six now?


    This is the same as saving up 10,000 yuan with great difficulty and planning to buy a local tycoon with a tea egg filled with excitement, but only to find out the truth that he can actually buy 5,000 when he arrives at the place. I can''t accept it, I''m not mentally prepared... To sum it up, there is actually only one sentence: Bitch is hypocritical.


    An Feng scorned his own hypocrisy, walked into the living room, and saw Roger lying on the sofa with his head tilted, his body covered with a woman''s bra, and the carpet was covered with colorful underwear. It is estimated that the living room was more beautiful than the guest room last night. Still fierce. He reached out and shook Roger a few times, then sat across from him.


    Roger waited for a while to get up, and sighed: "Am I going to be late?"


    be late? An Feng glanced at his watch and gloated: "Haha, it''s almost 12 o''clock."


    "I bought it!" Roger patted his head, and it bounced like an electric shock: "I can''t play so crazy in the future. By the way, did you play well last night?"


    "It''s ridiculous!" An Feng shook his head, "Where did you find so many women?"


    Roger smiled smugly. Just as he was about to speak, the mobile phone on the ground rang. He wobbled and touched it a few times but couldn''t grasp it. Finally, An Feng picked it up for him. Roger took the phone and said thank you, then he casually leaned back on the sofa, talking honey and playing video communication.


    It was Roger''s girlfriend Miranda who called last time, the woman who was a former supermodel and then a fashion director. An Feng wanted to avoid it, but he saw a hot girl wearing only T pants dangling behind Roger. However, he didn''t care if he fell into the background of the video call, he moved his **** and sat down again.


    Roger chatted for a few minutes, put down the phone and asked, "What did you just say?"


    "It''s nothing." An Feng shook his head and changed the subject: "Isn''t it your girlfriend who called you?"


    "Miranda? That''s right." Roger put his feet on the table and rubbed his face. "We live together, sleep together at night, and love together."


    "Then she doesn''t mind you messing around like this?" An Feng raised his chin and looked at the girl who was looking for clothes, the meaning couldn''t be clearer.


    Roger waved his hand and said with a smile: "We have an agreement that we will not interfere with each other''s private life unless we really decide to get married before we remain faithful to each other. You know that it is important to keep things fresh, and you also It��s not that you��re having a good time, what��s so strange about it!��


    An Feng looked contemptuous: "I''m different from you. I''ve already broken up with my girlfriend. It doesn''t matter who I''m with. And I was mostly passive last night."


    "Good reason." Roger despised him too.


    "Thank you! If I had a girlfriend, I would be loyal to her, so I wouldn''t do such a thing." An Feng just felt that he was more noble.


    Roger laughed after hearing this: "That''s so boring, can you be sure that she is your wife in the end? This kind of love is too tiring. I have pursued true love before, but I can never find the feeling of being together for a lifetime as shown in the movie. , It��s not as good as the contract couple of Miranda and I! The contract description: each other needs each other, and the spirit complements each other, and the rest will be discussed later. If it��s suitable, we can get together, but I��m still young, so don��t worry!��


    An Feng understands, what a contracted couple said is so noble, it''s not a sexual relationship. However, Roger''s kind of open love is strange, it may be a common phenomenon in the circle of rich people. After you get tired of playing, you can choose someone who feels right, and get married safely and steadily.


    Roger looked at An Feng with a mean smile on his face: "You just broke up? It must be that there is no one around, and you are lonely? Before you prepare for a new relationship, do you think the relationship I mentioned is very good? Very Freedom? Longing for it? Want to learn from me? Thinking about doing something different?"


    "Fuck you!" An Feng hit him with a pillow.


    Roger dodged, smiled and slapped his thigh: "I see through you! Bitch!"


    ��


    The matter of the loan in the afternoon is still not settled, and it is expected to take until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Roger is going out to fulfill the obligations of his contract boyfriend: visiting the class and showing affection. He also invited An Feng to go with him, but An Feng habitually refused, so he didn''t want to disturb other people''s two-person world. But Roger said Miranda was working.


    Roger: "There are a lot of very hot models there, do you want to go for food?"


    An Feng: "Are you my livestock?"


    Then he went... how else would it be a bitch.


    The location is located in the Beverly Hills area, surrounded by fashionable bars, high-end perfume shops, custom clothing stores and so on. As a fashionista, Miranda naturally couldn''t do without Beverly''s circle of celebrities, otherwise how could she lead the trend?


    The place of work is a very common three-story building, almost all of which are low-rise buildings along the way, and the stores of luxury cars Bentley and Double R only have one or two floors. Luo Jie bought a bouquet of flowers on the way, sprayed some men''s perfume on his body, wore sunglasses, and walked in very sexy, An Feng automatically stayed away.


    An Feng picked up a previous issue of the monthly magazine and flipped through it casually. Most of the content was oriented towards high-end, and the circulation was very small. They talked about high-end enjoyment such as jewelry, clothing, luxury cars, yachts and planes. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands for a watch, ordinary people can''t afford it.


    Going to the shooting scene with Roger, we happened to meet a group of models in fashionable clothes standing under the light to take pictures. The cameraman was very busy. Miranda was conducting the scene, Roger stepped forward to deliver flowers, she hugged and kissed him, and then opened her arms to An Feng.


    "Hi, Bruce!" Miranda still remembered An Feng''s name.


    "Long time no see, Miranda, you are still so beautiful." An Feng kissed her twice politely, usually the more times, the better the relationship. If you come here ten times, people will say you are crazy.


    "Thank you." Miranda said with a smile, "I still have some work to do, so feel free, there''s coffee over there."


    Roger said: "You are busy, I can see you."


    "So��sweet (so sweet)!"


    After the words fell, the models or staff next to her were envious of her boyfriend''s thoughtfulness, and she also accepted everyone''s flattery with a sweet face.


    An Feng glanced at the "sincere" Roger, he should be able to win a best actor in Hollywood, right?


    Sit down with Roger and watch the scene. The models are very good. They are tall and have long legs. They are all around 1.7 meters. Walking around in ten-centimeter high heels for a long time, I feel that the bright back is not easy to mix.


    Luo Jie was bored and whispered to An Feng: "These models who meet the supermodel standard are just good-looking. In fact, they have been on a severe diet, and they don''t have much meat on their bodies. They feel like they are bones when they are pressed down. Only people like "The Sun" The ''Third Edition Girls'' of "Playboy" and the "Cover Girls" of "Playboy" are the best."


    An Feng said: "That should be called Feng-man, right?"


    Roger nodded: "That''s right, the proper plumpness can perfectly reflect the curves of the front, back and sides, right?"


    An Feng deeply agreed.


    Professor Roger suddenly raised his head and stared at the front: "Look at that girl, wow! The front is straight and the back is tight, the skin is tight, it''s rare to see! I give you a figure of 90, how about you?"


    After taking a few glances, An Feng said seriously: "80! I am an oriental, look at my face! I also feel sorry for the Asian female compatriots: you can only flirt with this figure in your mind."


    Roger stood up for his national heart.


    After several rounds of filming, the tall Yanma with curly brown hair stepped off the stage, took off his high heels after sitting down, and rubbed his sore and soft feet. Inadvertent action, infinite charm.


    An Feng glanced at Roger, got up decisively and left: "Brother, I''m sorry, in fact, I also gave 90 in my heart."


    After finishing speaking, An Feng sat in front of Yanma.


    Roger looked up and saw An Feng talking and laughing with 90-point Yanmar. He was dumbfounded for a long time, and then said: "You bitch!"

 Chapter 54： violent katilina

    Chapter 54 Violent Catalina


    Someone used to say this: My sister and I had a room to study. An Feng would definitely pick up a brick on the ground and shoot it at his head! Damn, you dare to act good when you get cheap, I think you are born to be a cucumber - owe it! But today it happened to him, and he was actually a little happy.


    Is learning a foreign language boring? Of course, you have to look at the target. If a middle-aged and elderly woman wearing myopia glasses teaches you a foreign language with a straight face in class, it will definitely not arouse your interest. But if a **** and hot girl teaches you face to face, yes. And when it comes to rewards, you''re sure to be impressed.


    Katilina Dayanma sat on An Fengda''s lap, put her arms around his neck and educated him: "You memorize the silent letter h in the word first, and jump to read it when you encounter it. And what I just taught Your words are very obscene, it is best not to speak casually, there are many Spanish-speaking people in California."


    Spanish is very popular in the United States and is the second largest language. Due to the increase of Mexican immigrants, some pessimists even believe that American English will gradually be replaced by Spanish. California is typical.


    "No-hay-problema (no problem)." An Feng replied.


    "Wow, you learn so fast." Katilina said in surprise.


    "Because I''m a genius, I''ll go through it once." An Feng said proudly, the machine brain is of course smart, it can memorize it once, and use it flexibly throughout the process.


    "Okay, I''ll give you a kiss." Katilina lowered her head and kissed him on the forehead.


    "Not enough!" An Feng put his arms around her waist and kissed her lips.


    Catilina smiled and pushed him away: "Don''t make trouble, it''s almost noon, I''m so hungry."


    "This is the sexiest lip I''ve ever kissed!" An Feng let go of her, and the taste of kissing a girl with thick lips was indescribable, soft as if in a cloud.


    Catilina touched her flat stomach: "But it can''t fill my stomach."


    "It''s enough to puff up your chest!" An Feng said without seriousness.


    "Please, are you thinking again?" Katilina shook him coquettishly.


    "Okay, let''s get up and wait until I''m full."


    An Feng slapped her ass, and she hummed, almost giving people the urge to execute her on the spot. But it was getting late, the two of them took a shower, changed their clothes and went out, had a full meal in the hotel restaurant, and Katilina''s cell phone rang while stretching.


    She took it out for a look, frowned and answered, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, An Feng felt that she was not in a good mood, so he cared: "Are you okay?"


    "A jerk!" said Katilina.


    "What''s going on?" An Feng asked.


    "He''s my part-time job manager, a stingy, lecherous, obese middle-aged man!"


    An Feng understood that it was because of him that Katilina missed work today. "You look like you want to catch fire," he said.


    "Sorry," Katrina said, "Will you go out with me?"


    An Feng drove Katilina to a place she had reported. Ten minutes later, she followed the navigator and stopped in front of a well-decorated Mexican restaurant. She opened the door and got out of the car without saying hello, clacking in high heels Walking quickly, An Feng quickly got out of the car and followed her.


    Catilina walked into the restaurant, and An Feng saw her talking to a middle-aged Mexican, who was very peaceful at first, but unexpectedly the situation suddenly turned into a quarrel, and she made an amazing move�� She punched Lao Mo on the stomach and made the guy bow. She still couldn''t breathe, picked up the handbag and threw it on the guy''s head and body. She didn''t know what was in the handbag, and it fell down after a few blows. that guy.


    "I''ll go!" An Feng was in a bad mood. The woman didn''t show any signs of moving. When he ran over, two waiters had already come to pull her away. She still cursed in English in frustration: " Bastard, have you tasted it now! It''s great, isn''t it? Do you want to do it again?"


    The middle-aged man was helped up, and he was furious: "You are crazy! How dare you! Quickly arrest this crazy woman!"


    "Let go of me! Bastard!" Katilina twisted a few times, stepped on her high-heeled shoes to break free from them, and ran towards An Feng.


    Two waiters chased after her. An Feng pulled her behind and stood in front of her. He said in a deep voice, "Let her go, it''s very impolite to do something to a lady!"


    "Who the **** are you?" The middle-aged man covered his head and glared at An Feng angrily, "A **** Chinese who wants to be a hero? Where do you think this is? You��"


    An Feng didn''t talk nonsense, and directly punched this guy in the stomach, his voice stopped suddenly, and he fell to the ground. This force made it difficult for him to even breathe. Several people wanted to move forward, but they were afraid of An Feng''s aura. He looked contemptuously at the guy who fell on the ground, and at the people around him. They all retreated.


    "Let''s go!" Katilina took his hand and left voluntarily. An Feng glanced at them and gave them a thumbs up��upside down!


    The white Maserati sports car roared away.


    In the car, Katilina looked at An Feng who was driving from time to time, and finally she couldn''t help it: "Aren''t you wondering why?"


    An Feng shook his head: "This is your private matter. We agreed not to interfere with each other."


    But Katilina started talking: "That guy is actually an old pervert. He has a child and a wife, and he still wants to have sex. He tried to rule me a few times, but I rejected him! It''s disgusting to be alone. , Treat his family like this? You dare to call me to go to work, shameless!"


    An Feng laughed: "So you said on the phone just now that you were going to beat him up?"


    Referred to as "covenant frame".


    "Can you understand?" The surprise on Katilina''s face indicated that An Feng guessed right. An Feng nodded, but in fact he didn''t understand, he just guessed based on the context.


    Catilina smiled shyly, "Hey, do you think I''m a little violent?"


    An Feng shook his head: "No. I think you are a very straightforward girl who doesn''t beat around the bush. You will bluntly say what you like and what you don''t like."


    "You''re really understanding," Katilina said.


    Stopped the car and called Roger. He said that there are still a few steps in the loan process, and the evaluation over there will take time. An Feng is not in a hurry, and chatted with Roger for a while. He said that the car can be used casually. And I also wish Anfeng a happy holiday. An Feng smiled and hung up the phone, kid!


    "Meaning we have an afternoon to hang out?" Katilina said in her accented English.


    "I think so." An Feng said.


    "Yeah! It''s a nice warm day!" Katrina cheered.


    "And then?" An Feng looked at her with a smile.


    Catilina stretched her waist and looked at the sky: "I haven''t let my skin enjoy the sun freely for a long time, how about we go to the beach?"


    An Feng has no objection. Los Angeles is a city without winter. Even in November, the daytime temperature is still around 22 degrees Celsius, but this winter��s temperature is hotter than ever before. Santa Monica Beach has no fewer tourists, enjoy Men and women in the afternoon sun are everywhere.


    Put on your swimsuits, find an open space to lay out a mat, apply sunscreen to each other, and then just laze around for an afternoon like everyone else. He prefers the part of applying sunscreen to Katilina''s whole body, and he is stunned by the men around him, so he is naturally proud, haha, stinking dicks, have you never seen such a hot girl? But in order not to suffer, he also stared at the **** of the other horses, then shook his head slightly.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 55： attract hate

    Chapter 55 Attracting Hatred


    Sweating all over the beach, but An Feng felt very comfortable. After thinking about it, the conclusion is that there is a girl in his arms, and everything is very comfortable. After taking a shower and leaving the beach, Katilina is going to go shopping, An Feng already has immunity to shopping, let the storm come.


    But Katerina''s shopping is the same as her straightforward personality. She did things simply, took a quick look at the flowers, looked for the target, walked in, this and this, and five minutes later she came out of the changing room and changed herself: a black knee-length skirt with a front slit, a long sweater, and a gentleman''s top The round-brimmed hat is elegant and full of charm, and simple clothes are trendy on her.


    Catilina turned around in front of him and pulled up the zipper on the front of the skirt a little, making her thighs looming and hotter. She asked: "OK?"


    "It''s great." An Feng glanced up and down. The main reason is that she has long legs, which are long enough to support her whole body and has many advantages, and she is even more outstanding as a model.


    "Next is you!" Katilina didn''t change her clothes, she swiped her credit card and left, the old clothes were thrown into the trash can, and she took An Feng to several clothing stores, and the specially ordered sportsman was also freshly released. An Feng was originally dressed casually, but Katilina let him be casual to the end, light blue suit jacket, casual trousers, hands in pockets, casual and stylish, European and American trendy style. I really admire this girl, her eyes are very vicious.


    It was only over an hour before and after. An Feng looked at the time and asked, "Do you want to continue?"


    Catilina smiled, it was a wry smile: "My card has exploded."


    "Sounds so pitiful." How could the girl not have beautiful clothes, An Feng threw his card to her: "Go, it''s an advance payment for you."


    Catilina caught Ka, came over and kissed him first, then Ka, and said excitedly, "You are so sweet."


    An Feng accompanied her to continue shopping. In order to highlight her **** long legs, she specially changed into a pair of thin-rooted black short boots, and replaced the bloated handbag with a long wallet. Walking down the street with a twisted catwalk, what a leprechaun that attracts hatred. The men stared up and down, and the women looked at each other contemptuously. In short, the effect has been achieved.


    "Let''s go, let''s go to dinner and watch a movie!" Katilina held his arm and pointed forward, "I want to make all men envy you to death!"


    ��


    Katilina''s words are absolutely correct. A woman is really invincible if she deliberately dresses up. At least An Feng often feels the attention of passers-by, which makes him have to hold his head high. You can''t say that beautiful women accompany frustrated men, right? He shattered the last bit of self-consolation of others: a handsome man with a beautiful woman!


    Seeing that they have attracted enough firepower to make the crowd jealous, they retreat. After having dinner in a restaurant and chatting until after nine o''clock, I continued to walk on the street. Katilina danced and walked in front, looking at this and pointing at that. An Feng quietly accompanied this lively and cheerful girl.


    The reason for emphasizing "big" is because of her height and body shape. A professional model is naturally tall. She wears high shoes and is almost as tall as An Feng. Moreover, Western women have a wider frame, so they are naturally larger than petite Eastern women. Some, it is impossible for you to want her to be cute and cute, but a big girl has her own fun, just like a magnifying glass of advantages, the front, the back, and the curves on the side are envious of others.


    Catilina was tired from walking, so she turned around and walked a few steps backwards: "Shall we go to a night movie?"


    An Feng will accompany him to the end. Usually at this time, American nightlife is either in a nightclub or in a movie theater. I bought two movie tickets nearby and sat down in the back seat. You understand the reason. It seems to be some literary and romantic movies, low-budget movies, I heard that the rating is 18. Prohibition, the plot can be ignored, the heroine is good-looking, An Feng actually didn''t understand much, because the people around are in a mess bite.


    But now Katilina is already sitting on his lap, saying that others, but in fact, she is not much better, and she can''t help herself from the top to the bottom. Whoever designed the theater was an absolute genius, and the front and rear are so spacious.


    An Feng spread his legs and leaned on the seat to inhale, what the hell��the movie was played really well��he looked at the audience next to him guilty, the occupancy rate was not high at this time of night, and all the people watching were couples, far apart from each other.


    The man in the same row as him was also enjoying the service. He and An Feng exchanged glances, and both smiled and gave each other thumbs up. Then the round-faced man picked up his girl, half confident, half showing off, his girl is indeed good, but well, An Feng patted Katilina on the shoulder, she stood up knowingly, and said with a smile: "You I really don��t like being behind at all.��


    The final result came out. When the round-faced man had finished the battle, An Feng was still fighting fiercely. He stared blankly at the exaggerated figure in the dark. No matter in terms of realm, ability, or devotion, he was far inferior to the round-faced man. Brother defeated and returned.


    After finally explaining everything, the two of them were sweating from work, they stopped watching the movie, they walked out hand in hand, and were about to go outside to enjoy the wind, when they ran into a male and female couple who came out of another screening hall, both of them were taken aback , and then the other party reacted first: "Hi, Bruce, is that you?"


    "Yes, it''s me. Hello, Henry!" An Feng said hello, and then smiled and looked at a yellow-haired girl who was following Henry. If she was right, she was wiping her mouth just now... Well, in case She is drinking water. If there is too much water, will it leak out? What if it''s just saliva? In case this is...


    "This is my girlfriend Lucy." Henry introduced.


    Come and don''t be indecent, An Feng also introduced: "My girlfriend Katilina."


    "Hi! Hello!" Lucy also greeted. She wasn''t very tall, and she wasn''t actually short, but standing in front of Katerina, who was already 1.8 meters tall, she looked a little short. We happened to meet together, so we chatted a few more words, and by the way, we ate snacks at the cafe next to the theater to replenish our energy.


    Henry, on the other hand, upholds the usual openness of Americans, saying that he and Lucy went out on a date. They were both college students, and it was a time of passion. There is no need to explain these things, but An Feng is still enthusiastic at this age. Later Henry invited them to his birthday party.


    "Tomorrow night?" An Feng asked.


    Henry nodded: "Yes, it''s tomorrow. I didn''t expect you to be in Los Angeles. That''s great. I have many friends who want to meet you."


    "A lot?" An Feng was puzzled, how could a foreign devil know him, and he wasn''t a foreign girl.


    Henry explained to him: "They all like Chinese Kung Fu. They heard that you are a master, and they are full of yearning. There are also some girls who want to see it."


    An Feng curled his lips, a group of brats, just about to refuse, Kadilina said: "I want to see Kung Fu too!" After she finished speaking, she still hugged his arm and shook it.


    What a restless girl, you are so hot, how can you live if those college boys see it... An Feng nodded: "Okay, I will go to the meeting on time!"


    But what does that have to do with him? Drooling can be seen but not moved, if there is a girl, go to toss the girl, if there is no girl, go back to play handjob. Who filled the world with malice?


    Henry said happily: "Looking forward to your arrival."

 Chapter 56： life winner

    Chapter 56 Life Winner


    It is the first time for An Feng to attend a birthday party in the United States. I asked Katilina some precautions. She said that boys'' parties are very casual and don''t need to be as careful as girls. Especially if they have a good relationship, they can give money directly. The birthday star went to buy his favorite gift.


    An Feng feels that there are strange things everywhere, and he thinks that giving money on birthdays is a Chinese characteristic. Thinking back to those good friends in college, didn��t they all give money for their birthdays? They are all busy playing computer games, picking up girls, failing courses, and not having time to do other things... But An Feng feels that as an elder, he still needs to use snacks.


    Time was running out, so I took Katilina to Chinatown the next day. I had already considered it last night. Since Henry loves kung fu so much, I will give him a set of Bruce Lee''s classic yellow jumpsuit and two matching double knots. stick. It''s just that the jumpsuit made him tangled for a long time: how did he pee?


    "Don''t tell me I''m the only one who thought this way." An Feng said to Katilina with a smile.


    Catilina is boring enough, discussing how to pee with him along the way. Then go shopping, buy clothes or something, commonly known as Liang Sao. She especially likes to make decisions for An Feng in terms of clothing, saying that she wants to create a sense of coordination. An Feng was speechless, this is called clothing obsessive-compulsive disorder.


    In the changing room, Katilina helped him change his clothes and touched him by the way. Her words were very useful to An Feng: "Your figure is great, and you can match everything." However, the next whisper in his ear was obviously over-enthusiastic: "The bottom is also great, and it always makes me unable to extricate myself."


    An Feng rolled his eyes, hey hey hey! How about the occasion?


    Seeing her smiling expression, An Feng knew that she did it on purpose, so he squeezed her **** hard: "Besides, I''ll finish you right where you are!"


    "Forgive me." Katilina restrained a little, motioned him to turn around, and then pulled him out, looking in the mirror to show off the result. Very good, temperament, taste and attitude are all reflected. Katilina said: "How about it, is it suitable?" An Feng nodded and praised: "Very good!"


    In the evening they went to the meeting.


    The party starts at 7:30, you can be late, but not early, because you have to give others time to get ready. An Feng slowed down the speed of the car a little. To a certain extent, the traffic jam was also the reason why the sports car was not fast. Arrived around eight o''clock, in a fraternity house at USC.


    The houses of fraternities have their own characteristics, and they are also a way to attract members. Some wealthy students will even renovate their houses to reflect the "tallness" of their fraternities. Anyway, private universities can do things with some money. Don��t think that all students are admitted with serious grades. What kind of school directors, school shareholders, relatives of children of donors, can you not give up some places for them to come in?


    The room was brightly lit, and the people attending the party arrived one after another at this time. An Feng parked on the side of the road, walked around to the passenger seat, and asked Katilina to get out of the car. The black backless dress was stunning, revealing a large white and beautiful back unobstructed. The skirt was very short, with high heels to show off her long legs, bright red lipstick, and an unconquerable glamorous temperament all over her body. Fortunately, it''s a boy''s birthday party, so it doesn''t matter how pretty the female partner is, at most it''s to make the boys envious. If it''s a girls'' party, Catalina''s look is meant to steal the spotlight.


    An Feng wanted to say that he didn''t do it on purpose...he did it on purpose.


    Catilina is indeed very eye-catching. The moment she opened the door and walked in, she felt at least dozens of pairs of eyes scanning her body back and forth. If it wasn''t for holding An Feng''s arm, many people would have approached her courteously. An Feng smiled and hugged Henry, and then presented the gift.


    Henry opened the packing bag in person, took out the jumpsuit and nunchaku inside, and said pleasantly: "Wow, Bruce, you are really amazing! I like it!"


    An Feng took Katilina in. There are quite a lot of people, and it finally has the scale of a college student party seen in American movies. All kinds of men and women are scattered around, chatting and drinking beer, and there are a few couples on the stairs who are gnawing regardless of the occasion... OK Well, what''s the difference between a birthday party and a rave party?


    The answer is almost none.


    In fact, it''s not very interesting. An Feng is mainly trying something new, and he is much older than these young men and women. If there is no Kadi Lina, he may be interested in these girls, but standing together to compete, Do you think college students are really like the hot girls in movies?


    how can that be possible! The hot girls are all having fun with the team captain, okay? Even in the Hollywood area where the legendary and **** big names haunt, the most seen are aunts. Go to the beach to have a look, and there are many over-plump, rough-skinned Yanmas everywhere. Occasionally there are Hot girls, and there are boyfriends around. So others say to see beautiful women please go to New York.


    From this, it can be seen that the appearance of Katilina has had an effect. Different from China, what kind of girls do American **** like? The first is the big breasts, then the hips, and the long legs. Katilina combines all the advantages of hanging silk YY, and she is dazzling when she stands in the crowd.


    Henry introduced some people to each other. After An Feng greeted those white people, there was nothing to say. Their eyes were all on Katilina. An Feng took a glass of beer and leaned against the bar. Katilina greeted a few girls, and then came to him and said, "Do you mind if I play with them for a while?"


    "Whatever you want, and you graduated from Southern University?" An Feng asked, no wonder he wanted to come here.


    "Yes, I just graduated." Katilina put her arms around his waist, bit him a few times with her hot red lips, then let go with a smile, and waved her hand at him.


    An Feng gently wiped off the lip marks on his mouth. At this moment, two yellow-skinned young men approached him, one tall and the other thin. The tall one asked, "From China?"


    "It doesn''t look like it?" An Feng said in Chinese.


    "Me too, there are many Chinese students studying in USC." The tall boy looked at the **** figure dancing in the crowd with admiration, "Do you want to be drained every night?"


    An Feng laughed loudly: "Are you kidding? Is she begging for mercy?"


    "Really? You can handle Dayang Ma?" Sao Nian doubted.


    An Feng despises: "I''m telling you about these dry hairs! You rely on two things to pick up top-quality foreign girls, one is the money in the wallet, and the other is the capital in the crotch. It just so happens that I am strong in both of them! I can do it in every position. More than a dozen times, those who beat Superwoman will surrender! Didn''t you see her face full of satisfaction?"


    Sao Nian was so admired that he cast his eyes on the ground: "It''s amazing! Hello, I''m a good opinion, this is my friend Jin!"


    "Hello." An Feng glanced at them.


    "Hello, my name is Gaoli Bangzi." Jin greeted in broken Chinese.


    "Pfft!" An Feng sprayed beer, in English: "What did you just say?"


    "Gaoli Bangzi." Jin said in Chinese, looked at Gao Jian suspiciously, and changed to English: "Gao said this is a very formal way of introduction."


    Gao Jian snickered, An Feng was happy: "When I know the truth, I shed tears... I am doomed to end my friendship! But well, I like it, so tell me your name if you have something to do in the future!"


    Gao Jian scratched his head and laughed, but he didn''t know An Feng''s name yet.


    An Feng looked at the crowd, and suddenly reminded him: "Take it easy, kid. A few years ago, the student studying abroad at Virginia Tech shot and killed 32 students! All white, black, tall and big **** are all brought down! Can you live until Today, I should thank my friend for not killing me!"


    Gao Jian was so shocked that his legs shook, An Feng patted his shoulder: "God bless you!" He took out his vibrating mobile phone, went to the window to answer: "Hi, Roger!"


    "Hey, I didn''t disturb your good business, did I?" Roger said on the phone.


    "Send Q!" An Feng said, "Say something quickly."


    Roger laughed: "It''s like this, the loan business has been successfully completed, come over tomorrow afternoon if you are free."


    "Okay, see you tomorrow afternoon!" An Feng said.


    Just put down the phone, it vibrated again, and even picked this time to call and answer: "Hello, who are you?"


    "Hi Bruce, I''m Mike Case from UCLA, remember me?"


    An Feng thought for a while, oh oh oh, the old man who puts on the grand banquet is not dead! He smiled and said, "Remember, how is your research project?"


    "No idea, but a few of my colleagues have made good progress after studying your hints," Case said.


    "Oh." An Feng''s pronunciation festival, the premonition is not good!


    Case said enthusiastically: "So we want to work with you on topics related to biological cells. Don''t rush to refuse, the salary is easy to talk about, and we can provide you with an honorary doctorate from UCLA, and write your name on the research paper. Up front, in terms of patents..."


    An Feng listened to it, and there were many benefits, but he resolutely refused: "Sorry, Dr. Keith, I am not very interested in these, because you know far less than I do."


    It would be crazy to say this to others, but An Feng has this strength, and Case has also experienced his magic, so he used his reckless temper and good terms to pester An Feng.


    Even if he wanted to hang up the phone, he finally gave a plan that had been planned: "Otherwise, I will give you enough research methods and theories, and you will work for me. I am responsible for funding and providing workplaces, and the results of the papers will be All with your names, but the patents belong to the Institute."


    Case thought for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then said: "We need to seek other people''s opinions on this matter. How about we find a time to talk? Are you free tomorrow?"


    An Feng said: "I''m not free tomorrow, but I''m free the day after tomorrow."


    "Then we''ll meet at the old place at noon the day after tomorrow." Case said.

 Chapter 57： funds arrive

    Chapter 57 Funds arrive


    After everyone has arrived, the birthday party begins.


    Everyone gathered around the birthday star, waiting for him to blow out the candles. An Feng stood behind and watched from a distance. Several guys stood around Henry, winking at each other. An Feng felt that Henry was going to be in bad luck... Blowing out the candles, closing his eyes and making a wish, and then with a bang, everyone pressed his head on the big cake together.


    An Feng laughed loudly. Although Henry was hit, he reacted quickly. He immediately grabbed the cake next to him and wiped it away from the surrounding crowd regardless of friend or foe. There was chaos, laughter, screams and the exclamation of someone unlucky to be hit by a cake as people retreated to take shelter.


    The only thing that was not affected by the war was the ladies onlookers. Even An Feng secretly grabbed a handful of cakes, and quickly wiped them on the hair of an unlucky ghost. He was quick in action and quick in response. He was one of the few men who participated in the battle and survived unharmed, and he even received a sweet kiss from Katilina.


    She called it: "Kiss for heroes."


    The hanging wires were all excited, expressing that their strength was not fully utilized just now, and they asked to do it again.


    In the midst of the commotion, after the cake fight, the birthday star made a short speech, and suddenly shouted: "The beer fight has begun!" Chaos broke out again. The energy of the college students is always boundless, but the rhythm is not suitable for An Feng. Henry said hello and left with Katilina.


    "Leaving so early?" Katilina asked.


    "I see through their purpose." An Feng said with a smile, "If you have to stay for a few more minutes, I''m afraid you will get soaked."


    "Want to take advantage of me?" Katilina guessed.


    An Feng looked at her with a smile: "What do you think? I just heard a lot of boys arguing in private whether you wear a T-shirt or not, and they bet a lot."


    Catilina hugged his arm and asked, "Then what do you think I''m wearing?"


    An Feng slapped her buttocks with his palm, the buttocks were rippling like waves, and he was very ecstasy. He took a few more glances and concluded, "I''m not wearing anything."


    "Wow, you are amazing!" Katilina smiled, "Then do you like not to wear it, or do you like to wear it a little, or is it a young girl''s?"


    An Feng thought for a while and said, "It mainly depends on who wears it."


    "Good standard answer!" Katilina said, "Why don''t I choose the whole set tomorrow and show you new styles every day?"


    This will envy the dead American hangers, right?


    ��


    In the afternoon of the next day, like a doll, she changed into a casual cool man at the request of Katilina. She has so many tricks, and every way satisfies An Feng. She wore a baseball jacket, matching hot pants, and a handbag. She transformed from a **** goddess into a college beauty cheerleader.


    On the way to the bank, An Feng asked: "Have you considered using your talent in matching clothes? Maybe you can be a creative designer besides being a model."


    Catilina said helplessly: "There are many talented people, but very few of them can stand out. Almost all of them can promote their ideas after they become famous."


    "It''s true." An Feng thought that many celebrities have their own clothing and perfume brands after they become famous. I am afraid that the strength is second, and the fame is the first.


    Katilina said: "People who know me say that I am very good at showing a person''s strengths, discovering beauty and sexiness. Looking carefully, I have many similarities with Page (she refers to Miranda) We are good at grasping popular elements. I have cooperated with her several times, and I am very envious of her work as a fashion director."


    An Feng glanced at her and said, "Maybe I can introduce you. You know Miranda is my friend. You can start with a small plate."


    Katilina shook her head: "No, that''s different. What I want to say is that this position is what I expected, but how to put it... Her scope is relatively wide, focusing on trend elements rather than people, and I''m concentrating on the person, not the outer clothing, jewelry, etc."


    "People? How to say?" An Feng was a little confused, he didn''t know much about these things.


    Catilina gave an example: "It''s like the difference between the fashion industry leader "W" and "Playboy". One focuses on trends, and the other focuses on characters."


    "Oh, I understand." An Feng understood, one focused on taking pictures of beautiful clothes, and the other focused on taking pictures of **** women.


    ��


    At the gate of the bank, John still arrived ahead of schedule.


    In the reception room, Roger and his assistant were present. When they saw An Feng coming in, they hugged first: "Congratulations, Bruce, things are going well."


    After greetings, everyone sat down. John was checking the final mortgage contract, An Feng and Roger still had nothing to do, but Roger picked up some key points and said: "The loan will be credited the next day after signing the contract, and the three-year countdown will start at the same time. I wish you all the best!"


    An Feng smiled: "Thank you for your help, it saved me a lot of time."


    Roger also laughed: "You''re welcome, you know I''ve benefited a lot from it."


    Looking at his smile, it is estimated that he got a lot of commissions, so An Feng took it as a loan from an acquaintance and gave it a favor. Anyway, who is not borrowing?


    Roger said again: "There is one more thing I want to tell you. Regarding the idea you mentioned a few days ago, I went back and studied it, and I feel promising."


    "Do you think there is a future again?" An Feng said with a smile, Roger was still very uncertain a few days ago.


    Roger shrugged: "You will be rewarded if you dare to venture. Many well-known companies have never been favored before. I can''t believe that they have developed step by step."


    "Then what are your plans?" An Feng asked.


    Roger said: "Invest money, be a shareholder, and I also recommend some friends. They are all investors, rich people who can''t work by themselves."


    An Feng has funds but no foundation. He needs contacts in the United States. Don��t think that there is no relationship here. If something happens to the company in the future, if a certain shareholder knows an official figure or a politician who can talk, he will give priority to helping you solve it. Trouble, it''s easier to guarantee than to follow the procedures.


    After chatting for a while, after confirming the cooperation intention, they waited for An Feng''s plan to roll out.


    Speaking of this, An Feng is also quite ashamed. He has already won the first shareholder, and the company has no prospect yet. He is ashamed.


    He decided to go back and hurry up. If he has money, is he afraid of not enough manpower?


    With 80 million in hand, I am full of confidence. Although it is borrowed from the bank...it will be paid off in three years, so now I can only pave the way and develop in multiple lines. I''m afraid he was busy. After going back at night, he sorted out some materials and stored them in the computer he just bought, and went to UCLA alone the next day.


    As for Katilina...enough tossing the night, now I''m sleeping in.


    An Feng met Dr. Keith who was waiting for him at the entrance of the college building last time. He looked very sincere, and the smile on his face was a little more sincere. He stepped forward to shake hands with him: "Sorry for being late, there is a traffic jam on the road." Really The reason was that Katrina was stalking him.


    Case said very understandingly: "It doesn''t matter, we all understand the traffic in Los Angeles."


    Walking into the building with Case, I met six or seven biology experts who were either PhDs or professors in the office. It was a little stressful, but An Feng was still very confident in the technology in his head. Decades ahead in the field of cytology, it has been impeccable.


    There was no other politeness. Case had greeted him in advance, and he knew that An Feng''s time and patience were limited. For this magical young man, he could basically say as much as he could. Occasionally, a few words can make them suddenly realize , save a few months, do you think it is worth it?


    An Feng felt that he had become Shang Yang who was fighting all the heroes. The experts and professors were all primary school students who put their hands on their knees and listened to the lectures. They occasionally retorted, and then they were reprimanded by An Feng. This little lesson and the old scene are so strange, but the content of the conversation is so rigorous.


    Basically, An Feng spoke a lot, and each of them brought more than two sets of recording equipment.


    Bullish, right? An Feng almost wanted to collect tickets!


    The old guys have collected so much information on the sidelines, do you think it��s fun? Many things in it can involve a promising field of knowledge. Later, An Feng became smarter. You can ask, but his answer was ambiguous, and his attitude was just there: Do you want to know? Come and hang out with me.


    An Feng folded his arms to see the ecology of the crowd: come or not? Nobel Prize Oh!


    It��s like a person who has been thirsty for three days and three nights suddenly sees a big bucket of clear water. Can this be refused?


    In the end they succumbed, and everyone knows that even if they quit, there will be a lot of people scrambling for the first. At most, it is to drop the subject in the university, pack up the bed and change to another place to continue mixing.


    An Feng was very satisfied, and he gave the first goal: exterminate cancer cells.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 58： tired of flying

    Chapter 58 Flying to boredom


    After taking over the research center, An Feng simply arranged some personnel and renewed the contract with the grassroots employees of the original research center, at least to ensure that there is enough manpower to maintain the operation of this institution. In addition, it also needs a supervisor to be in charge of the company''s operations, and Anfeng has encountered difficulties in this regard.


    Who are you looking for?


    An Feng was at a loss, did he want to recruit? Or on your own? He doesn''t have that much time, and with his strength, he can be a hands-off shopkeeper, and if he really manages the company, it will be a miracle if he doesn''t close down in the end. But by God''s grace, Mrs. Sinclair helped him.


    Mrs. Sinclair suggested: "I suggest that you continue to appoint the original supervisor first, because he is very familiar with the operation method here. After you find suitable management personnel, you can deploy the position. Make full use of time and spend money It''s all spent where it should be used, what do you think?"


    As the only shareholder of the company, An Feng accepted the proposal.


    Stayed there for another night, and continued to arrange the decoration of the research center the next day. I called my assistant John, and we all ran a few times together. Afterwards, we had to find time to re-list, go to the tax department to change the registration, and so on. I was exhausted from being so busy, I just wished I didn''t have more subordinates.


    In the evening he flew back to SLO.


    Catilina drove his convertible Ferrari and parked at the gate of the airport in a very high-profile manner. She wore a pair of big sunglasses on her face, sat on the front of the car, and crossed her legs to look cool, attracting the attention of passers-by. An Feng spotted her at the first sight. There was no other way than attracting attention. Katilina was a master.


    Returning home exhausted, the dinner was settled casually, and Katilina��s craftsmanship was ignored. As for Gu Li, who has always been busy with things, he didn��t want to eat the fighting national-style meals. This guy often eats raw in the morning Eggs, said to be in good shape. An Feng tried it once and wanted to vomit.


    Fortunately, Katilina was very good tonight and didn''t pester him for milk like a barking she-cat. He was lying comfortably in the bathtub, the water mist rose, and it was dense. Katilina sat behind her, applied some essential oils on him, and worked hard with her hands. Of course, there are more comfortable ones... I won''t tell you.


    Grabbing Meimei with her big breasts, she fell asleep and regained her energy. Both of them got up very early, An Feng was going to feed the horse, and Katilina was going to run for exercise. Most Americans like outdoor sports, perhaps this is the main reason for their good figure and tight skin.


    He stepped on the boots and came to the stables, grabbed a handful of pasture and carrots, fed them with the cowboy Howard, and even bathed Philip himself. It seemed very excited. Howard saw it, and said enviously: "Philip is very smart, except for you, it is difficult for anyone else to let him dispel his guard."


    "Really?" An Feng smiled and scratched Philip, and looked into its big eyes, "Such a good boy, if I have a chance, I will find you a girlfriend!"


    Philip actually cried out, feeling very excited.


    An Feng laughed out loud.


    After taking a bath, I rode it out for a few laps, and the flying horseshoes rolled up a cloud of dust... I also reviewed some equestrian lessons, let Philip go to hurdles and barrels, it was as proficient as ever, and it took less time. Smart Philip can understand a simple action or command.


    The time with Philip is always very relaxing, but after returning home, there are a lot of emails and phone calls. There are things here and there. He flew three times to Los Angeles this week! When he thought he could catch his breath, Gu Li reminded him: "Boss, I should go to the Immigration Bureau to talk."


    An Feng slapped his head and almost forgot.


    This trip cannot be taken by plane, the reason is that Gu Li has no identity, he only has a few documents, and if he wants to get on the plane, he can do it, you have to wait for the airport to check this, check that, and finally report to the above... An Feng directly drove the pickup truck out , rushed to San Francisco. Gu Li is too big, the last time he took a sports car, he almost bowed his body and endured the whole process. A pickup would be nice, at least it would allow him to stretch his limbs normally.


    Stayed in San Francisco for one night, went to the immigration office with the lawyer who made an appointment the next day, and prepared to talk to the immigration officer. Before coming here, I was mentally prepared to fail. Unlike the 1990s, Americans are now tricked into being smart. , Giving a green card for political asylum is all a thing of the past.


    In the end, Guli failed, as expected. The lawyer stated on the spot that Guli would appeal to the court and let the immigration judge make a decision. Then according to the arrangement, there will be at least two court appearances, but the time is far apart, because the court is not run by your family. It is estimated that it will take half a year before and after, and a year later. It''s all possible.


    But from now on, Guli can apply for a work card. With a work card, he can work normally, apply for SSN, social welfare, etc., which is similar to a work visa. After accompanying him through these procedures, An Feng advanced the lawyer''s fee and issued Gu Li a check for US$100,000.


    An Feng said: "Okay, then you can hang out with lawyers."


    Guri took the check without looking at it, but said sincerely, "Thank you, BOSS."


    An Feng smiled: "It''s okay, what are your plans for the future?"


    Guri didn''t even think about it, so he asked, "Can I still work under you?"


    "If you want, no problem." An Feng readily agreed. After this month, Gu Li is very diligent. Apart from drinking some vodka and talking loudly, Maozi has no major shortcomings. Moreover, Gu Li also made a guest appearance as An Feng''s fighting coach and firearms coach, and he learned a lot from it.


    Besides, it would be nice to have a big bodyguard, right?


    Just as Gu Li was about to say something, An Feng''s phone rang. He walked aside and talked for more than ten minutes, then came back and said to Gu Li: "Sorry, I have something to go! If you really plan to continue to be my bodyguard, Gongka Come to SLO to find me after it is done. Of course, if you find a more suitable one, congratulations!"


    He went back in a hurry, took some materials, and came to SLO airport early the next morning. He was already tired of boarding the plane, queuing up to buy tickets, waiting at the security check... When will he be able to drive directly into the airport, saying Just leave, dare to deduct your salary for a second?


    Depressed all the way to Los Angeles, I met the director of the "Jean and Tima Research Center". A white man in his early fifties named Joseph Hart, the director recommended by Mrs. Sinclair, chatted with him about the research center. Things, very simple: welcome; express trust; excuse me, you go to work.


    An Feng flew back again, but he had a hunch that he would fly many times to Los Angeles, because the research team was about to settle in, and he needed to arrange work and be a magician. Then I have to fly to San Francisco again, this time to sign a contract with the graduates recommended by Song Wenrui, that is, a group of hard-working and low-demand high-achieving students.


    Then line up again, buy tickets, go through security checks, wait for boarding...fly back.


    An Feng finally couldn''t take it anymore.


    "I want to buy a plane!" An Feng said to Lei, "It''s not a business jet, nor is it a fixed wing. I need a helicopter that can take off directly from my door, give a green light all the way to the door of the company, and don''t have to wait, buy a ticket, or go through security checks. And don''t worry about the **** delayed plane!"


    "Is there?" An Feng took a breath.


    Lei said calmly on the other end of the phone: "A lot, Mr. An."

 Chapter 59： goods arrive

    Chapter 59 Arrival of goods


    The day after An Feng ordered the plane, Gu Lilai reported for duty. He said that he doesn''t have any social skills, and those fighting and killing skills are very effective in Africa and the Middle East, but in the United States, he can''t stand up to the police or gangs, because the opponents are either legal or crowded. So he continued working as a bodyguard.


    An Feng didn''t ask about Gu Li''s past. As for his character, he had already proved it last time. He promised Gu Li a salary of 100,000 yuan and hired him as his security director. Bodyguards are not needed most of the time.


    Of course, he was not idle. Gu Li became An Feng''s fighting coach, and occasionally played a guest job as a vineyard worker, running around on a cross-country motorcycle. He doesn''t like horseback riding. I heard that he was interested in it at first, but since he was thrown out of the fence by Philip, with his head on the ground and his **** in the air, he has stayed away from equestrianism.


    Guli in the gym was dressed in loose sports clothes, and explained in a serious manner: "In many cases, dangers occur without warning. The California environment makes it impossible for you to carry weapons at any time. At this time, learn to use your own force and the natural environment. Security has become the key to saving lives."


    "For example, in the case of a sudden encounter with a gunman."


    Guri pulled out a Glock pistol from his back: "It happened very suddenly. Surrendering is not a wise move. Taking the initiative is the first choice to save your life!"


    "Too extreme, isn''t it?" An Feng raised his hand and asked, "What if the gangster is just asking for money?"


    Guri asked rhetorically: "What you said is only if, what if he is not? Americans are cunning! Do you dare to bet your own life?"


    An Feng laughed, the United States cheated the Soviet Union to death!


    "Be serious!" Gu Li said seriously. "As your coach! It is my responsibility to teach you how to get out of this situation and take the initiative to master the situation!"


    An Feng put away his smile, Gu Li is still very responsible in this regard.


    Gu Li walked a few steps to An Feng, and showed the hand holding the gun to An Feng: "Look! The cracking method starts from the posture in which he holds the gun. If he holds the gun with one hand..." Gu Li explained to him , then turned the handle of the gun and handed it to An Feng, "You aim at me!"


    Gu Li took a few steps back, An Feng met him, pointed his gun at him, Gu Li turned sideways to the left, grabbed the gun with his left hand, punched his throat with his right hand, and kicked his crotch with his leg��he didn''t come for real, but he moved fast, even if An Feng could buckle him. Pulling the trigger just kicked the bullet into the air in vain. It''s a pity that the **** are broken.


    Gu Li calmly took An Feng''s gun away, and said: "This is Israel''s Krav Maga technique, which is simple and deadly - the first thing is to ensure your own safety. Although your method was successful last time, it will expose your chest to the gun. Say, if the other party is a skilled gunman, you are finished!"


    Although An Feng has superhuman strength, he is far inferior to Gu Li in terms of fighting skills. God knows what this guy used to do. Anyway, he said that he is familiar with all kinds of weapons, spies and counter spies, and he knows a variety of fighting skills. Tanks, driving helicopters... An Feng felt that the cowhide was so big.


    Guri is also a crisis activist. He insists that he will encounter shootings, robberies, explosions, 911 and other accidents in the United States, so he is very vigilant. An Feng can''t understand his tense mentality, but maybe this is the necessary quality of a qualified security personnel?


    ��


    one day later.


    An Feng''s helicopter arrives.


    A flatbed trailer driven by the dealer transported the plane to Paso Robles Airport temporarily. We also rented a special crane from the airport, and the staff took down the plane wrapped like rice dumplings, and the technicians in charge of assembly prepared to use the airport''s supporting facilities to install the rotors on the helicopter.


    An Feng saw the "Black Knight" he ordered at close range. The visual effect cannot be reflected by computer pictures. It is black and shiny, more than three meters high and twelve meters long. It feels so small. This guy is a monster.


    The staff was assembling the rotor, and at the same time, a salesman walked up to An Feng and said to him enthusiastically: "Mr. An, after the rotor is installed, several test flights will be carried out. You can also designate a pilot to test the flight. If you are satisfied , you can pay the balance.��


    An Feng nodded: "I know."


    The other party accompanied An Feng to introduce various data and advantages of the helicopter, and even promoted some other models of the company''s aircraft, saying that as regular customers, if they want to buy fixed-wing aircraft, they can also give discounts. In short, An Feng is the God of Wealth, and he is too busy currying favors!


    It took some time for the technicians to assemble the rotor, and after the completion, two pilots boarded the aircraft for a formal test flight. Amidst the sound of roaring engines and howling air, the helicopter rose into the air, flew in various postures, and then landed smoothly. The two drivers got off with satisfied expressions on their faces.


    "Congratulations, Mr. An, this plane has been assembled, do you need to go up and try it?"


    "certainly!"


    An Feng couldn''t wait a long time ago, took Gu Li and the salesman, and climbed into the somewhat high cabin. The beige seats are not bad, they are soft and comfortable to sit on, no less than the luxurious rear row of Bentley. But in order to make enough room for activities, it lacks multimedia equipment.


    The helicopter took off from the ground and flew around the airport. Except for a little discomfort when the plane turned, which was much more severe than civil aviation, I felt good in other aspects. The noise inside the cabin is much smaller than outside, but of course it cannot be avoided, after all, the rotors and engines are located overhead.


    This kind of free and carefree feeling is unmatched by civil aviation. The field of vision is extremely spacious, and you can see clearly from front to back, left, and right. The flight speed is not slow. When flying at the maximum cruising speed, the fuselage is very stable. If you are used to the sound above your head, No problem sleeping in.


    Flying in the air for half an hour, seeing the surrounding scenery of the small town, An Feng got off the plane full of satisfaction, filled out a check, and signed to settle the final payment. After signing a contract with the airport to lease the hangar, although the plane can be parked in Anfeng''s backyard, maintenance is a problem.


    The airport has a specially leased hangar, which is not only managed by a dedicated person, but also has professional maintenance equipment. Any minor problems can be quickly dealt with, and the head is covered. No matter it is windy or rainy, you don��t have to worry about it. You can let the helicopter pick you up when you travel normally. , anyway, less than ten kilometers away.


    While being happy, An Feng also needs to consider expensive maintenance and maintenance costs. They say that the miscellaneous expenses of the aircraft for several years are enough to buy a new one. , the annual maintenance cost accounts for about 10% of the helicopter price, which is more than three hundred thousand dollars. This is just a small plane. If it is a private business jet, the logistics cost will be even greater.


    After the plane was parked, it was getting late. Everyone who had cooperated happily went home. An Feng asked Gu Li on the way back: "Can you park the plane on my lawn?"


    "It''s definitely no problem." Gu Li said, "Next time I will stop for you."


    "You really know how to drive?" An Feng doubted.


    Guri was injured, he said: "I have learned to drive a military helicopter."


    "But you''re not sure what kind of trajectory it will fly, are you?" An Feng felt that Russians must have vodka next to them when flying a plane.


    Gu Li saw the clue from An Feng''s expression, he laughed: "Next time I will prove it to you."


    "Okay, after the pilot is in place, I''ll let him fly with you." An Feng said that the salesman had explained just now that although there are two pilot seats, there is no need to use two pilots. The hands are much stronger. Don��t you see that the armed helicopters are all in the mode of driving + gunner?


    "No problem." Gu Li said confidently.


    It takes two days to wait for the matter of helicopter piloting. Lei has already contacted the pilot and hired him with an annual salary of one hundred thousand dollars. He happens to live not too far away. Ten kilometers, as long as there is a mission, it will arrive within ten minutes.

 Chapter 60： nonstop to Berkeley

    Chapter 60 Direct flight to Berkeley


    Two days later, An Feng''s pilot came. They met at the airport. The other party was a white man in his forties named Fred, who was an experienced pilot. After a brief greeting, I tried the plane at the airport. Gu Li also volunteered to join the battle, not to mention, he looks good, he really didn''t brag.


    An Feng looked up at the plane on the ground. It is said that Gu Li is controlling it, which is really good. But Fred is a serious person, especially when dealing with airplanes. After getting off the plane, he said to An Feng: "He is technically qualified and can operate the airplane by himself, but he is inexperienced and has no pilot license."


    An Feng treated Gu Li differently, and praised: "Okay, you, next time you get a license, you can be a pilot in the future."


    Now Gu Li can be considered elated. Several people spent some time studying the aircraft and listening to the old pilot Fred talk about his flying experience. He said that there are rules for flying a plane. Although there is no obstacle in the sky, when two planes meet, one needs to descend the altitude, and entering the airspace of the route will be controlled.


    Fred took out a map and said: "About 85% of the airspace in the United States is civil airspace. As long as you have aviation radio stations, you can fly in non-restricted areas, and adding C-mode radio stations can increase the flight altitude accordingly. Because Airspace is a public resource and every citizen has the right to enjoy it."


    An Feng looked at some no-fly zones on the map. After being affected by 911, flying has been more regulated. For example, before 911, even foreign tourists could fly planes in the United States, but now it is very difficult. There are also some densely built areas where flying is prohibited, such as the top of the White House. There are also some military shooting areas. Unless this is for death, who would fly into the shooting area without any trouble? Dodging missiles?


    "Look at these places. These are some military operation areas. If necessary, we can also walk through them, but this is not recommended, and the answer is too troublesome." Fred pointed to some marked areas on the way, and An Feng looked at them At first glance, it''s really interesting that the military area can also pass through.


    "Assuming there is enough fuel, wouldn''t it be possible to travel all the way to the east coast?" An Feng asked.


    Fred nodded: "Yes, but if you exceed a certain mileage, you need to submit a flight plan. You leave the planning area for an hour, and the flight control center will look for you."


    An Feng understands, he still has another question: "Can I learn to fly a plane?"


    Fred looked at him with a smile. Although he was serious, he liked to teach people about airplanes. He said: "Although this does not comply with the regulations, there is no problem flying around here. In addition to the written test and the oral test, the private pilot license test focuses on the operation. You can basically master it after studying with me for a while."


    Since then, An Feng has added another hobby��flying planes.


    It sounds like a tall one. I learned the theory from Fred for a few days and tried it myself, and it feels good. A few days later, there was another errand to go out, but this time it was much more convenient. The pickup drove directly into Paso Robles Airport, Fred got into position, climbed on the plane and flew directly to Berkeley.


    According to An Feng''s request, Fred flew along Highway No. 1, taking a panoramic view of the mountains and the sea along the way. The car under his feet was smaller than a finger, and it crawled slowly behind him. An Feng leaned on the luxurious seat, enjoying the high-altitude massage comfortably.


    One hour later, we arrived in Berkeley. Since the airport was a bit far away, it would not be time-efficient to park at the airport and then take a car, so Fred decided to land at the school, wait for An Feng to get off the plane, and then drive to the airport to park by himself. An Feng agreed with both hands as soon as he heard it. I don��t know why I fell in love with pretense recently.


    But he still asked one more question: "The Aviation Administration won''t interfere with us, will it?"


    Fred said with a smile: "As long as we don''t stop in crowded areas and land according to the regulations, the FAA can''t control us!"


    The helicopter flew over UCB, and after circling several times, the experienced Fred found a flat lawn with a large area, few people, and no teaching buildings around, so there was no need to worry about noise. After safely landing on the lawn, the leaves on the ground were rolled up, and passers-by looked up one after another.


    There are many private jets in the United States, but they are not seen everywhere like cars. There are still relatively few opportunities for close contact, just like when encountering a rare sports car on the street, many people will stop and watch. Airplanes are still a luxury for most people.


    It was previously reported on the Internet that a certain province in China sent students to school by helicopter, which caused shock. In fact, it''s the same in the United States. In order to show off, a junior high school student in Orlando once took his father''s helicopter to pretend to be imposing, envious of a group of people, and the school even called the police. Finally, because the program is legal, there is no trouble.


    After the plane came to a complete stop, An Feng opened the door and jumped down, bowed his head and quickly left the whirlwind area, followed by Gu Li in a black suit and sunglasses. He held a black handbag in his hand, and followed An Feng closely with a serious expression. This scene really looked like a Hollywood blockbuster.


    An Feng left with his messed-up hair. In fact, he was not as chic as in the movie, but Guli kept a cropped cut, which was not affected at all. After walking a few steps, Guli turned around and waved his hand towards the plane. Fred After receiving the signal, it took off and left, and the whistling sound gradually faded away.


    ��


    An Feng and Song Wenrui met at the school, and handed over the materials they had sorted out to him. This involved some problems with machines and materials. The content was too scattered and needed enough manpower to help sort it out. Even An Feng didn''t have it. So much patience, so leave it to them.


    "As for the location of the company, there are already several candidates, but since the machine has not been settled, I''m afraid it will have to be delayed." An Feng said to Song Wenrui, "Do you have any ideas? Maybe you can consider developing here in San Francisco, Being close to Silicon Valley has a personnel advantage.��


    Song Wenrui smiled bitterly: "Brother, you are here to smash the field. Silicon and carbon are incompatible. Your high-profile development of graphene in Silicon Valley is no less effective than Cuba''s installation of anti-aircraft missiles at the door of the United States."


    An Feng smiled: "Well, stay away. Considering the local tax policy, it may not be in California. Are you mentally prepared?"


    "It''s no problem." Song Wenrui said.


    "And you use your brains to provide a few company candidate names, try to be concise and beautiful." An Feng said, he just likes to push his own affairs to others.


    But interns have no human rights, Song Wenrui nodded: "I will go back and let everyone use their brains together."


    Thinking about nothing else, let Song Wenrui go to work. Now that he was in Berkeley, An Feng called Joanna by the way: "Hi, Joanna!"


    "Hey, why did you think of calling me?" Joanna said.


    "I just came to Berkeley on the way to say hello to you. It seems very lively around you!" An Feng heard some messy background sounds.


    Joanna walked a few steps, her voice weakened: "I''m doing volunteer work. Thanksgiving is coming tomorrow, and my friends from the sisterhood and I are providing ''Dinner on Wheels'' to the elderly."


    "Thanksgiving?" An Feng thought about the date. Today is November, Wednesday. It seems that Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday, which is almost the same.


    "Forget that you don''t have the habit of celebrating Thanksgiving." Joanna said with a smile.


    "You are so kind." An Feng smiled, "Then do you plan to go back? Thanksgiving seems to be a day of reunion."


    "If there is enough time, I will go back tonight. Do you want to wait for me?"


    "That''s almost what it means. If you want to go back, I can send you back faster."


    "How to say?"


    "You will know when you come back." An Feng said mysteriously.


    After hanging up the phone, seeing that the time was still early, I walked around the campus bored, found a clean place to sit down, and took the black handbag that Gu Li handed over. In fact, it contained his computer. I just demonstrated it to Song Wenrui. For some content, the power is still enough, and it starts to surf the Internet when it finds a wireless signal.


    Guri said: "Do you still remember the arrogant Chinese last time?"


    "The one named Tony?" An Feng remembered, the arrogant little bastard, lost a million dollars in a bet with himself, and got shot in the car behind him.


    Guri nodded: "In addition to the one million settlement, that white hippie still owes you a sports car. Do you want to smash it next time you see it?"


    "Forget it, I don''t need so many cars." An Feng shook his head, but he searched for news about related events on the Internet.


    According to follow-up reports, Tony was seriously injured in the hospital for a long time, and after he came out, his spirit was affected a little bit, but he became a frightened bird, and he didn''t even dare to touch the car. After returning to China, his parents wanted to sue the local police, but the Internet was full of ridicule. In Chinese, it was asking for trouble.


    After reading the report, An Feng happily said to Gu Li: "I feel that I have done a good thing unintentionally, and the world has one less road killer."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 61： Thanksgiving

    Chapter 61 Thanksgiving


    Around 5:30 in the afternoon, Joanna arrived.


    The white Land Rover she drove stopped on the side of the road, got out of the car and looked around, and walked up to the two of them: "Hi! How did you choose this place?"


    "Because it''s very empty here." An Feng stood up with a smile, "Where''s your luggage? I''ll take it for you. Find a place to park your car. This time, take my vehicle."


    "Empty? Transportation?" Joanna was surprised by what he said, but she still drove the car to a nearby teaching building and parked it, and took a while to walk back. Seeing that An Feng was on the phone, he chatted with Gu Li. After An Feng put away the phone, she said frankly: "I''m at a loss now."


    "You will find out in a few minutes." An Feng looked mysterious.


    Joanna didn''t know what the **** he was doing, so she chatted with the two of them while waiting. A few minutes later, there was the roar of an airplane overhead, followed by a black helicopter that landed neatly on the lawn in front of them. The strong wind blew up the leaves, and she couldn''t help holding down her hair.


    Joanna looked at the smug An Feng and asked in surprise, "Is this the means of transportation you mentioned?"


    "Of course, is it cool enough?" An Feng stood up, helped her pick up the bag on the ground, and made a gesture of invitation: "Please, Miss Stanwell!"


    "My pleasure!" Joanna cooperated with the serious An Feng.


    At this time, the number of pedestrians increased significantly. After the plane landed, the eyes of the passers-by were all on their side. The curiosity of the Americans made them want to see who was so high-profile. Gu Li walked ahead expressionlessly, his suit rattled in the wind, and Joanna cleverly hid behind his broad back. The skirt she was wearing had to be careful to walk away. An Feng followed behind her, blocking her with a bag.


    Gu Li pushed the cabin door hard, supported Joanna with one hand, and asked her to step on the landing gear in small steps. An Feng handed the bag to Gu Li, and followed him. Gu Li finished in style, closed the hatch, Then he patted Fred on the shoulder in the cockpit and gave him a thumbs up to signal him to take off.


    The plane took off, and the crowds of people looked down from the porthole, and they were surrounded by crowds. This way of travel is really low-key. After the plane rose to a certain altitude, it began to speed up and level off, and the noise gradually became more regular. Joanna looked at the interior and asked, "When did you start playing with airplanes?"


    An Feng smiled: "I just thought of it recently. Going to the airport every day to catch a plane is too troublesome. You know I''m lazy, and I can''t stand these things."


    At this time, the phone rang, and he took out the phone and said to Joanna: "Look, there is another advantage, I can call anytime!"


    Joanna really convinced him, as if no matter what happened, his mentality was positive.


    is an unfamiliar number, An Feng answered: "Hello?"


    "Oh, Bruce?" The voice on the phone was Spanish.


    "Catilina? Did you change your number?" An Feng asked strangely. He also used Spanish. The advantage of the machine brain is that it never forgets.


    "My phone is out of battery, it belongs to my friend." Katilina said, "Why are you so noisy over there?"


    "I''m on a plane."


    "I want to tell you, I''m afraid I won''t be able to go back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I have a best friend who is out of love. Recently, my mentality is very unstable. I need to take care of her."


    "Your friend?" An Feng asked, Katilina spoke Spanish too fast, and he was still not good at it.


    "Yes, so Thanksgiving won''t be with you. By the way, you shouldn''t be celebrating Thanksgiving, right?" Katilina changed into her western English.


    "Greetings to your friend for me." An Feng still spoke in Spanish, "Other matters are up to you. We agreed at the beginning, so you can rest assured."


    "Wow, Ubesso!" Katerina kissed on the other end.


    An Feng hung up the phone, Joanna asked: "When did you learn Spanish, it sounds pretty standard?"


    "Just learned, you know I''m very smart. I can also speak Russian, right Guli?" An Feng said with a smile, and Guli also nodded. He is indeed a first-class monster in terms of language.


    Since the last time she "copied" her accent, Joanna has also learned it.


    An Feng asked: "Joanna, how are you going to spend Thanksgiving?"


    Joanna said without her own opinion: "It should be how my family lives. Thanksgiving is only a holiday in the United States and Canada, and has nothing to do with Europe."


    An Feng nodded: "I know, it''s the British Puritans who traveled across the ocean, and it''s a festival to thank the Indians who have saved their lives!"


    Guri couldn''t help adding: "Then the Indians were genocide by the whites."


    An Fengyun: "This Thanksgiving is going sour!"


    Joanna hesitated and said: "It may not be completely true, there are also elements of internal fighting, or the Indians are provoking whites."


    An Feng smiled meaningfully.


    Joanna looked at him seriously: "I didn''t defend anyone!"


    An Feng put away his smile, obsessive-compulsive disorder is difficult to deal with: "I know. It''s just that I think things are very interesting, and Thanksgiving looks so happy."


    Joanna was still staring at him.


    "Okay, I was wrong!" An Feng raised his hands in surrender, "This has nothing to do with you in essence, why do you think so much? You see, the three of us, from China, Britain and Russia, have nothing to do with Thanksgiving Relationship, this is an American thing, we a bunch of outsiders, why should we be entangled in this matter?"


    Joanna let him go.


    But who can tell? Anyway, after the whites appeared on the American continent, it is a fact that the Indians gradually became extinct. Could it be said that their disappearance was collective suicide?


    ��


    This time, the helicopter landed on the lawn in Anfeng''s front yard.


    An Feng drove Joanna back. She lives very close, just on the other side of the small town, it takes ten minutes by car normally, and less than ten minutes by express car. Along the way, the environment is elegant, the air is fresh, and the scenery is pleasant. On the way to the vineyard, the signboard of the winery can be seen everywhere.


    When she saw a wooden board with "Sassen Winery" written on the side of the road, Joanna arrived at her home. He slowed down, left the main road, and turned into a private lane. It seemed that everyone preferred to live in a high place, and the scenery was unobstructed all the way up. Finally stopped in front of a baroque building.


    In fact, Americans are also xenophobia, and many wealthy people are imitating Europe in their behavior and lifestyle. Just like architecture, those who have no money can��t play foreign fawning, and can only live in wooden houses, but rich people like to have a strong European masonry style, baroque, rococo and other jeweled houses.


    Sassen Winery, as the name suggests, except for Joanna, the family name is "Sassen". The winery Anfeng has been here several times, and it is very good. The underground wine cellar is full of oak barrels, wine racks and boxes of red wine that have been ordered. In contrast, the emptiness on his side is a bit pitiful.


    Joanna invited An Feng in for tea, sat for a while, and Kelly, who came back from shopping in the supermarket, invited him to stay for dinner. Unable to hold back her enthusiasm, An Feng stayed. In fact, I was a little happy in my heart, because there was nothing at home tonight, so if I wanted to go back, I could only do it myself stupidly, or eat Guli''s Russian-style feast.


    Joanna didn��t know where to go, and the furry boy Andy couldn��t find anyone to play with, so he entangled An Feng. Reluctantly, he brought some baseballs and threw them like teasing Pippi and Eggy. Andy caught them and threw them to him again, and he threw them again... Frank served them some snacks.


    Frank sat down opposite him, and Andy fell a somersault because he was forced to run to catch the ball, but Frank just looked at him, encouraging him to stand up, and Andy got up by himself as if nothing happened, laughing and laughing Continue to play with An Feng. Typical American education.


    Frank smiled and asked, "Bruce, what are you going to do for Thanksgiving tomorrow?"


    An Feng held the baseball in his hand and said, "I have no idea for now. This is my first Thanksgiving."


    Frank said: "Why don''t you stay and live with us?"


    "Is this appropriate?" An Feng asked. For Americans, Thanksgiving is only second to Christmas. Just like the Mid-Autumn Festival we celebrate, it is a day for family reunion.


    Frank said with a smile: "You are very welcome to come. In fact, every Thanksgiving, enthusiastic Americans will invite friends who are far away from home to spend together."


    "Thank you for your invitation, I will come." An Feng said.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 62： Are you going on a date?

    Chapter 62 Are you dating?


    Having dinner with the Sassen family feels very formal, whether it is tableware or table manners, thanks to the fact that he has been to Western restaurants many times before and is familiar with the process. Also, their family was very chatty, the two-hour dinner ended in a relaxed way, and after staying for a while, An Feng said goodbye politely.


    Joanna sent him out. On the way, she hesitated to speak, and finally asked: "Do you have time to come out tomorrow? I heard that there is a Thanksgiving Day parade in San Luis Obisburg."


    "when?"


    "Let''s start at ten o''clock in the morning, it seems to be quite lively."


    "Okay, then I will pick you up tomorrow?"


    "No problem." Joanna nodded.


    "Bye!" An Feng opened the door of the pickup truck, reversed the car, and waved to Joanna.


    Joanna waved lightly, then turned back, and met Andy at the door, and Andy asked when he saw her, "Are you guys going on a date?"


    Joanna smiled: "Do you know what a date is?"


    Andy looked up at Joanna, and replied unconvinced: "Don''t men and women go to a place together? Then kiss, kiss!"


    Andy pouted and kissed in the air. The kiss looked so cute, Joanna couldn''t help laughing: "If I take you with me, can the three of us still count as a date?"


    "Doesn''t it count?" Andy frowned, and suddenly looked at her unexpectedly: "You want to take me?"


    "Why, you don''t want to?" Joanna deliberately kept a straight face.


    "Choking to death! I am willing!" Andy jumped up and down happily, "Yeah! You are so kind! I want to wear a mask to watch the parade! Snoopy! SpongeBob SquarePants!"


    ��


    An Feng went back to check the information. Thanksgiving is of great significance to Americans. Every Thanksgiving, the whole country is full of excitement. People go to church to pray for thanksgiving according to the custom. , Schools are also on holiday.


    The next day, An Feng called the resident workers of the vineyard, greeted them with care, and then made a short speech: "I would like to thank you for your work these days. Walking on the track. I am quite unqualified as a BOSS, and I am not familiar with many things. Thanks to your reminders and help, I have avoided many detours, thank you all!"


    An Feng looked at them and continued: "In addition, although the harvest of the vineyard is so-so this year, in order to express my gratitude to everyone, I decided to take part of the profit as your bonus! Let you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, And the coming Christmas!"


    After the voice fell, Old John took the lead in applauding, and the others also applauded enthusiastically.


    He took out the checkbook and filled out a cash check worth more than 20,000 U.S. dollars. It was distributed among seven people, each of whom received more than 3,000 U.S. dollars, which was very generous.


    Old John took the check, raised it up and waved it: "Thanks Bruce! We''ll go to the bank later!"


    They cheered happily, took out their wine glasses one after another, and wanted to toast An Feng. After clinking glasses with them one by one, everyone dispersed. Although today is Thanksgiving, there are still things to do in the morning, and the big meal can only be started after noon. But An Feng has other arrangements, so he won''t participate.


    Changed into a set of clothes, a simple long-sleeved shirt and jeans, got on the pickup truck and drove towards Sassen��s house. When they arrived, Joanna and Andy were just going out. She was wearing a fashionable dress today, with a knee-length printed skirt, short boots, and a blue denim jacket in her hand, which looked youthful. Andy''s dress is also very cool, with a cardigan over his shirt, jeans, and an Indian mask.


    An Feng got off the car, looked at her, and couldn''t help but praise: "You are so beautiful today!"


    Joanna smiled, turned to Kelly and said, "I''m leaving, I''ll take care of Andy."


    "Have fun! Bye!" said Kelly, who was not going with Frank because they had to prepare for Thanksgiving dinner.


    "Let''s go!" Andy ran to pull the rear door of the pickup, but unfortunately he was too short to reach it. An Feng smiled and opened the door for him. After climbing up, Andy still didn''t forget to turn around and say thank you.


    Get in the car and drive to San Luis Obisburg, more than 70 kilometers away.


    There is obviously more traffic on the road than usual, and it seems that everyone is rushing to watch the parade. There are many cars, but they are all driving in a regular manner. Occasionally, they will slow down to say hello when they meet acquaintances, and they come to the city with a good mood all the way. There were still ten minutes before the parade started. After parking the car, they walked slowly towards the parade street. Andy held Joanna''s hand and bounced all the way, and finally took An Feng''s hand. The furry child was in the middle, and the adults walked on each side .


    At first, they didn''t realize there was anything wrong with shopping hand in hand with their children. It wasn''t until passers-by frequently showed them good-natured smiles that An Feng and Joanna realized it. They looked at each other and let go of Andy''s hand at the same time. An Feng said with a smile: "Passers-by''s imagination is really strong."


    Joanna was also embarrassed: "The first-generation mixed race shouldn''t grow up like Andy."


    Then they fell silent. It wasn''t until the marching music sounded that Andy, who was chattering, stirred up the lively atmosphere again. Standing behind the crowd, he didn''t see much. He begged his sister, sir, and Joanna looked at An Feng begging for help. He had no choice but to hug Andy. , let him look around condescendingly.


    "Wow, so beautiful!" Andy praised.


    "Starting? What''s there?" Joanna asked, stepping on her toes.


    "You stand in front of me!" An Feng turned to her and said.


    Joanna squeezed in front of An Feng, and her field of vision suddenly widened, "Great! Bruce, you are so smart!"


    This is also called smart? An Feng laughed.


    The first thing to come is the huge float pulled by the pickup truck, which is filled with various props and fruits, the most conspicuous of which is the local specialty: grapes. The sheriff of SLO County was standing at the front of the float with a smile on his face, waving to the audience on the side of the road frequently.


    Next is a team of students or workers, all kinds of strange costumes come together, and the sky is filled with all kinds of huge balloons such as Spiderman and Smurfs. Almost all the participants in the parade played freely, some showed balloons, some played roles, and if they moved quickly, they could take photos with them. Someone marches with an Indian dance, and a turkey misfortune sends the turkey flying into the crowd, causing a burst of laughter and screaming...


    After the lively parade of more than an hour, the two took Andy to visit some special Thanksgiving gift shops and bought a lot of toys that children like. However, it always feels strange for young men and women to buy toys with a child. Several times, the salesperson directly called them Mr. Madam.


    For unnecessary explanations, they bought some things and went home. On the way, An Feng received a call from Katilina, who brought him holiday wishes and love words. An Feng chatted with her for a few minutes, and after hanging up the phone, Joanna asked casually, "Your girlfriend?"


    An Feng was stunned for a moment, forgetting what to say, he said, "Yes, her name is Katilina."


    "Aha!" Joanna laughed, "You''re so fast, Iron Man."


    For some reason, the embarrassment between them suddenly disappeared, An Feng said with a smile: "Just talk about myself, aren''t you going to find a boyfriend?"


    Joanna shook her head: "I haven''t met anyone with feelings yet."


    "That''s right, it''s hard not to feel together. What kind of standard is your ideal boyfriend? The kind of man with European chivalry?"


    Joanna smiled: "Have you watched too many movies?"


    An Feng said: "Isn''t that how love unfolded in the Middle Ages? When the war came, the knights vowed to protect the daughter of a certain nobleman, and then the war ended, a certain nobleman died, and the knight married the nobleman''s daughter, was awarded the title, and lived a happy life." Happy days until the next version of The Knight''s Tale comes out."


    Joanna said: "I think the story is like this: the war did not come, but a certain nobleman was seriously ill, he had no children, only one daughter, but the law stipulates that hereditary titles cannot be placed on women, so the knights have not risen yet, so-and-so The nobility is dead, the title is given to distant relatives, daughters are exiled, knights disappear, and the fairy tale ends. In the end, it is another version of the story of a certain nobleman based on distant relatives."


    An Feng froze for a moment, then turned to look at Joanna: "Is it so tragic?"


    Joanna laughed: "Don''t you think this is more real?"


    "That daughter could be you, right?" An Feng said suspiciously, feeling that her smile was forced.


    Joanna nodded: "It''s me."


    "I''m sorry." An Feng felt sorry for her.


    "It''s okay, I''ve already seen it." Joanna laughed, "It''s actually not a mess, at least it''s a good life in a different environment."


    An Feng thought for a while, and said: "I heard that there are some female nobles and duchesses in England, and I thought they could be hereditary to women."


    She shook her head: "No, there are only a few exceptions, granted by the queen herself, and most of them are lifetime titles, which disappear after death and cannot be hereditary."


    An Feng was surprised: "Gender inequality? Sounds really bad!"


    Joanna said: "The nobility is a product of inequality. It''s been hundreds of years old, and no one can change it. Recently, someone in the parliament proposed amendments, but it is not optimistic."


    An Feng comforted her: "Don''t be too pessimistic, maybe this will make you live a happier life? For example, I am very happy. If you are a high-ranking female nobleman, I am afraid I will never have the opportunity to sit with you , not to mention learning your language and superb horsemanship."


    Joanna said: "Your way of comforting people is terrible, but thank you. Also, you think of nobles too mysteriously. In fact, they are just a title, a symbol of the family."


    An Feng said funny: "But having said that, I''m afraid it will be difficult for the American boy to chase you. If you want to take the first step, you may have to get a knight title first!"


    Joanna covered her mouth and smiled.


    ��


    In the evening, An Feng participated in the Sassen family''s Thanksgiving feast. Not only the Sassen family, but also Frank''s other friends, the management of the winery, etc. were all present. A long table was full of people on both sides. , Everyone shook hands and began to pray, praying for a good harvest in the coming year, and thanking relatives and friends for the reunion.


    Then the dishes are served. The table is full of various foods, such as sweet potato, corn, pumpkin pie, cranberry moss jam, etc. Finally, the owner Frank took out the turkey that had been roasted for four hours and cut it into slices. Distribute the flakes to everyone. Raise a glass to celebrate in a lively atmosphere.


    It��s been a long time since we had this lively dinner. Instead of making pies, we all liked to communicate at the dinner table. The hostess also enthusiastically added ingredients to satisfy every guest. Finally, there was a Thanksgiving game, and An Feng also participated in it. Although the game was childish, it felt that the relationship between people was very harmonious.

 Chapter 63： ideas for extra money

    Chapter 63 Ideas for earning extra money


    After the festival, the big excitement is the American shopping, which is comparable to the "salt rush" storm, because the day after Thanksgiving, known as "Black Friday", is the peak season for discounts and promotions in major shopping malls. It is said that from Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, sales are comparable to a quarter.


    After Thanksgiving, the holidays are not far away for Americans. Most of them are in a half-working state. Shopping malls have put out crazy slogans such as big price cuts and 50% off. There is a saying called "early bird", because before dawn on Friday, people lined up in front of the mall in the dark, and some even brought their own tents to camp. The warmer places in California are okay, but the colder northern regions are fighting for cold resistance.


    Wrapping a blanket over his body, sitting cross-legged on the sofa with a plate in his hand, watching the live news, An Feng lamented that the gang of Americans robbed things no less than those in China. But instead of spending hours queuing up, it��s better to come up with an idea to exchange money! So he used this excuse to sleep in all morning.


    In the afternoon, he called Fred and asked him to send Joanna back to Berkeley. Afterwards, he did a rare calculation for himself. The bank loan was 80 million, and the research center was expected to invest 15 million. Graphene was at least Thirty million, what should we do with the remaining thirty million?


    Depositing money in the bank is the most negative way. The deposit interest of major banks in the United States is very, very low. Basically, they can��t make a lot of money. It is simply bankruptcy, becoming poor overnight, moving from a big house to a small house, selling yachts and luxury cars for money can be seen everywhere, and it has only slowly recovered in the past few years.


    But the loan is to make the best use of everything, and you will be sorry if you don��t spend it on a place that can generate benefits. You can��t get the loan back just to earn interest, right?


    An Feng called John and asked about the operation of Tailan Company, to see if he could continue to invest some funds to speed up the development, but John said that Tailan had sufficient funds recently, and the bank loan they just obtained was enough to allow them to operate at a high speed , not needed for now.


    An Feng said to John: "Then help me pay attention to some investment projects with a relatively high rate of return, organize them into documents and send them to my mailbox. I need them in the near future."


    "No problem, Mr. Ann." John said.


    After hanging up the phone, what else? Open up new industries?


    An Feng couldn''t think of a good idea for the time being. After browsing through the information translated in the machine''s brain, most of them were very general, or the scope was too large. Some technologies require a huge amount of money to open the way, and he can''t do it now... He needs a small investment but a huge market.


    In addition to the use of leisure funds, there is still business! The research on cancer cells has been included in the agenda. According to the report of the director of the research center, Joseph Hart, the decoration has been completed and the layout has been refurbished. It is expected to be officially operational in three days, and the relevant research assistants are also in place.


    After all the people have arrived, what An Feng has to do is to write out the method of eliminating cancer cells in his head, and divide it into multiple aspects, which is modularization. Like a DIY computer, one person is responsible for a part, and finally combined to operate. He was worried that the existing equipment could not be done well, and he also found an alternative method.


    There is no way, this road is dark for those experts, even if the method is correct, it may fail due to various factors: carelessness, the machine is not advanced enough, a certain technology is too advanced to understand... There are so many accidents, An Feng is here When I was writing, I felt like I was an elementary school teacher.


    After finishing the first stage, I looked back and saw that it was really bad. I am afraid that only I can understand it, so I deleted it and started again. Everything is difficult at the beginning, mainly because they did not adapt to the rhythm, just like it was difficult for the time traveler to let a group of people living in the 1980s understand what a 3D game is, because the DOS system was only available at that time.


    After dealing with all this, An Feng browsed the list of employees sent by supervisor Joseph, thinking that next time he goes there, he should give them something to do, since he is a capitalist after all.


    An Feng opened the search engine and searched for the keywords of "medical problems". It shows that it requires a lot of investment. Cancer and AIDS are dominant, and the keywords are changed. It doesn��t need to be too complicated... If he has more than one billion yuan, it will be easy to handle. There are more funds and big steps to be taken, like planting seeds Investing everywhere, there will always be seeds that grow into towering trees. It''s a pity that his own shortcoming lies here.


    ��


    Morning routine and Gurley continue training for "emergencies."


    This is all nonsense. Gu Li taught him how to safely break out from being surrounded and beaten, how to protect himself when he fell to the ground... a lot of cold knowledge, An Feng has mastered a ruthless trick in the past few days. After being knocked down to the ground, he flexibly used his legs to explode the enemy''s balls.


    Well, if the gangster is a girl, then he is dead.


    "You''re a quick learner, let''s stop here for today''s training." Gu Li pulled An Feng who was lying on the ground exhausted.


    Catilina, who was exercising on the treadmill beside him, came over, wiped his sweat with a towel, and handed him a glass of water.


    "Thank you." An Feng took the water glass, raised his head and took a few sips.


    "Hey! Big guy!" Katilina also gave Guli a glass of water, "Scrambling on the ground all day long, if it wasn''t for your normal orientation, I would have doubted it."


    An Feng Khan, you must be the legendary rotten girl.


    Guri''s face was dark, and he said in Russian English: "This is a close defense technique, with a little bit of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu characteristics, not random rubbing."


    Catilina shrugged: "I think they are pretty much the same."


    Guri rolled his eyes: "I can''t explain it clearly to you, so what are you doing lifting the steel pipe all day?"


    Catilina held her head high proudly: "That''s not a steel pipe, it''s a barbell without plates, it''s for exercising and shaping. Haven''t you seen my good figure?"


    Gu Li imitated her and said: "But I think it is a steel pipe."


    "Hmph!" Katilina laughed, "So what if it''s a steel pipe, I like it, and I like to hold it and dance for a while!"


    She turned to An Feng: "Bruce, do you like to watch?"


    "Choked to death!" An Feng praised. Buttocks.


    Gu Li has nothing to say, in front of the opposite sex, brothers and friends are second.


    "Wait!" An Feng suddenly stared at Kadilina''s ass, "Did you say shape-shaping just now?"


    "Yeah, what''s going on? Do you think I''m fat?" Katilina pinched the flesh on her stomach that didn''t exist, she felt good about herself.


    "Fat?" An Feng thought of a clue, "Losing weight? Haha! Katilina, thank you for reminding me!"


    He picked up Katilina and turned around, kissed her hard, patted her ass, and ran out: "I''m going to do something."


    "Big man, what did he say just now?" Katilina was full of doubts.


    Guri shook his head: "Who knows, the thinking of scientists is always crazy."


    An Feng found something interesting from Katilina''s words: obesity. The obesity population in the United States is very large, and the main reason is diet. The Kenda chicken they eat, McDonald''s and other fast food are all junk food, with high calorie and high fat accumulation, and it is easy to grow into a big fat man.


    In the past, An Feng didn''t notice it because he was surrounded by people who were either doing physical work or the wealthy class, or beautiful girls. They had enough exercise, or kept a balanced diet, and never ate junk food. Fast food such as Kenda Chicken is only eaten by the poor or those who are in a hurry to go to work.


    I can��t see Mount Tai with a blind eye. He checked some poll data, and the data is astonishing. The obesity rate in the United States ranks first in the world, and the obese population exceeds 40%. Correspondingly, the market for weight-loss drugs is huge, especially on the West Coast. Maybe it��s the comfort of Sunshine Beach Life made them lazy one by one.


    An Feng has been thinking about how to squeeze those employees for the past few days, and here comes an idea to earn extra money! It just so happens that the machine brain also has this kind of plan, which is relatively simple. After figuring out the steps, materials, and manufacturing process, you can arrange your subordinates to do things according to the textbook. Then apply for a patent, and finally resell, or entrust pharmaceutical companies to produce.


    He wants to turn those fats into dollars.

 Chapter 64： days of being a boss

    Chapter 64 The days of being the boss


    Two days later, An Feng set off.


    Gurley and Katilina are also accompanying her. Hei Chao dressed bodyguard with a serious expression; a sexy, beautiful, gentle and touching lover; plus a casually dressed BOSS wearing sunglasses... An Feng used to feel so pretentious when watching European and American movies, but when it was his turn, I think it''s cool enough and stylish enough.


    Fred took off after receiving instructions. The destination is Santa Monica Airport in Los Angeles County. As for LAX Airport, it is not considered, because the international airport is busy day and night, and the sky is full of controlled routes. It is not an exaggeration to say that if the helicopter crosses the past, it is possible to encounter it and prepare to land. Airliner on the runway. The experienced Fred passed it the first time. He contacted the Santa Monica airport and rented a seat.


    Due to the limited financial allocation and the fact that it is only ten kilometers away from LAX, Santa Monica Airport is naturally incompatible, so the city government encourages it to maintain its operation by charging parking fees. A large number of private fixed-wing aircraft stop here. If there are business jets traveling If it is not, you will usually choose to stop there, and the landing procedure is simple.


    Originally, the roof of the research center was suitable for docking, but there was no apron built at the beginning. Now it needs to report to the relevant department. After obtaining permission, the apron on the roof has been redesigned and built. An Feng has already appointed a contractor, and it will take about three months. month time. Americans are very hard-pressed in this regard. What can be done in half a month in China will be at least three months here. Helpless, can only stop at the airport, and then transfer.


    After one hour and twenty minutes, the plane stopped. The speed is indeed nothing to say, and on the way, you can overlook California, sitting with beautiful women, drinking red wine, playing with your mobile phone... An Feng comforted his regret that he couldn''t stop on the roof. After getting off the plane, I stopped a car outside the airport and went to the research center.


    On the way, Katilina once asked An Feng what he was going to do, and he replied: "Teach elementary school students."


    I do feel this way. What he can understand in a second, others may take days, weeks, or even longer. Isn''t it the same mentality when teachers teach elementary school students to count and recite multiplication formulas? So he brought women and computers. They have one thing in common: they can be played.


    The first floor of the building is a coffee shop, so it is impossible to stage the scene where the boss is called and then rushes to the elevator, unless you go in to drink coffee and drive other guests away, which shows that you are so awesome that you even have to book the coffee. They turned to the back, took the special elevator of the research center, stopped on the top floor, and waited for him. Dr. Mike Case and his six colleagues had arrived.


    The process is boring, and there is nothing to say. An Feng''s overall plan is divided into three phases, the first phase is the longest and critical, and the second two phases have little to do with experts, because the latter phase is a biological experiment, and many mice are tortured to death for research. and rabbit. In the end it was the turn of the humans.


    Now An Feng is speaking, and two groups are listening. The first stage is divided into two groups, and there are very few people. It is worth mentioning that in order to participate in this project, the team members sacrificed a lot. Some people stopped the university project, and some people were related to the project. For example, Mike Case, who also studied cancer cells, wanted to leave only Ability to resign plus a statement.


    So An Feng came to the conclusion: Scientists are crazy.


    If you don''t consider the reason why someone dragged into the water.


    After a boring day, the huge research system began to operate, and various departments gradually recovered. An Feng spared no time, and sat leisurely on the swivel chair in his top-floor office. The floor-to-ceiling windows behind him gave a panoramic view of downtown Santa Monica, with a panoramic view of the golden beach and blue ocean in the distance.


    It can be seen from this that the full rent reduction that Mrs. Sinclair gave him is also a lot of money.


    The door rang, An Feng said: "Please come in."


    Supervisor Joseph Hart opened the door and came in, glanced at the room, the young boss leaned on the swivel chair with a warm smile, his female secretary with a vase, which was purely for decoration, was sitting on the sofa applying lipstick as if no one else was there, dressed in a black OL uniform legs. The boss''s neck was still a little red.


    Joseph smiled slightly, understanding, it is good to be young. He came to An Feng and said, "Mr. An, the chemical technician you asked to recruit will start recruiting this afternoon. Do you need to be on-site as an interviewer for this? Or do you have other requirements?"


    An Feng said: "There is nothing else, just find the right one for the interview. There is one other thing."


    An Feng took out a few pieces of paper and pushed them out. Joseph came over to pick them up, looked at them, and found that they were requests from some other types of employees. An Feng said: "I still need some experienced hands. The requirements are about 20 people with work experience. There are not many other requirements, as long as they can do things according to the textbook."


    Joseph nodded: "I will make arrangements."


    "Okay, go get busy." An Feng said, during the short time together, Joseph gave An Feng the impression that he was tactful and knew how to please his boss. As for other aspects, I can''t be sure, but he should not be aggressive. This kind of man''s youthful passion The years have been worn out and all that remains is the family.


    But that being said, what does a research center want with an aggressive director? It''s every research group that plays a key role, right?


    Joseph turned and went out, just as he opened the door, An Feng added: "Wait a minute, you call my bodyguard to come in."


    "No problem, sir." Joseph gently closed the door.


    An Feng picked up the pen on the table and crossed out a to-do item on the paper, tapped his finger on the table, thinking. It turns out that being the boss is like this, so boring... Gu Li came in soon, An Feng turned the computer to face him, and said, "Arrange a task for you."


    "Great." Gu Li smiled, the research center is not where he stays, it''s too boring, just now he was tossing the leaves of indoor plants outside to play.


    An Feng said: "There are several models of cars here. I''ll give you a check. You can go and have a look. If you want a comfortable car and you have a car in stock, you can buy it if you have one."


    An Feng handed out a check pressed underneath.


    Considering that he will go to Tailan Company in the future, then transfer back, then transfer out, and then fly to Los Angeles, the tarmac will take at least three months to be repaired, and there is a lot of money in his pocket...So An Feng felt that he could not treat himself badly , continue to take a taxi? With bodyguards?


    It is not suitable from the perspective of pretense, or from the perspective of laziness. After receiving the check, Gu Li wrote down the brand and model of the car, and expressed his willingness to go to work. He walked out with a little brisk footsteps. It seems that the days of staying in the office have become unbearable for him.


    Turn the computer back and continue to type on it. I don��t usually look at it, but now I look at it, there are so many things. The joint plan sent by Secretary Lei, Song Wenrui and others, including the company address, name, tax laws of each state... all listed, it may take a long time to look at it.


    Katilina over there put away the small portable mirror, put down her upturned beautiful legs, stood up from the sofa, twisted her buttocks, walked to An Feng''s side, and sat on the table facing him, sideways He looked at the content on An Feng''s screen. Mei. Legs are on the side, the scent is lingering, but An Feng still holds the mouse.


    Katilina kicked off her high heels, and lightly stepped on An Feng''s thigh with a beautiful leg wrapped in stockings. An Feng glanced at her: "Don''t make trouble."


    "Who made a fuss." She said softly, grabbed An Feng''s hand and put it on her thigh, rubbing gently, "Don''t you like it like this?"


    "I''m doing business." An Feng said.


    "I want it," she said.


    "Didn''t you just pass?" An Feng had a headache.


    "More." She slowly poked her feet deep.


    "Why do you always think about this?" An Feng couldn''t stand her offensive.


    "Because I think men who work are very attractive." She licked her lips.


    "That''s why I''m inefficient." An Feng sighed, and resolutely pulled out his hand from her thigh, picked up a pen on the table, and threw it under the desk.


    "Go down and pick it up."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 65： invite

    Chapter 65 Invitation


    Regarding how long it took Katilina to squat down to pick up the pen, I won��t discuss it for the time being if it��s not suitable for children. An Feng unbuttoned a few buttons of his shirt, wiped the sweat off his forehead with a paper towel, and continued to work hard. After finding the place marked just now, Lei recommended more than a dozen suitable locations, which are widely distributed.


    Graphene technology, which is destined to fail, should not settle in San Francisco, and Los Angeles is not suitable either. The state tax and local tax are very high. Usually, the US tax on enterprises is divided into federal tax, state tax and local tax. The federal tax is uniform, but the latter two are determined by each state and region, with highs and lows.


    California��s state tax has been raised this year, and the sales transaction tax has reached 7.5%, while the local tax charged by each city below Los Angeles County is higher, around 10%. Of course, the scope of local tax collection is smaller. I feel that it is difficult to start a business, and I have to be exploited by these grandchildren.


    Fortunately, the more taxes paid, the more uncle. No one dares to mess with a large taxpayer. Behind it stand the local government, state government, local congressmen, state congressmen, trade unions... Everyone is waiting for the company to pay taxes, donate, and pay wages to support them. Whoever has trouble with their own parents, Isn''t that the same as killing people?


    So there is a saying that the guys on Wall Street who were involved in finance were beaten to death in the street. The employment problem of tens of thousands of people is yours, do you dare to move?


    An Feng also wanted to complain about the federal tax. In the federal tax category, the corporate income tax is generally around 35%. Domestic companies are happier than those in the United States. In addition to the zero tax rate, there is a low tax rate of 20%, and the normal tax rate is only 25%. Of course, other gray situations, such as tax avoidance by offshore companies, are not considered.


    An Feng looked for the site recommended by Lei on the map of California, and finally gave California a cross. There is no way, there are many temples and Bodhisattvas. When a group of people are all excellent, you will get less attention. He decided to change places and set his sights on a city called Austin in Texas.


    An Feng heard of this city for the first time. Austin is the capital of Texas. On the contrary, the three major cities in Texas around it: Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas are much larger than it. It seems that the thinking of Americans is reversed.


    But Austin has good greenery, beautiful environment, and a livable city... It looks good, and the tax rate is definitely lower than that of California. The government is very enthusiastic about attracting investment, but the rhythm of the market is still unabated. It is surrounded by the headquarters of Dell and Freescale Semiconductor. There is also Big Blue, a branch of IBM, which is the leader in the computer field and the fastest in graphene chip technology.


    In addition to being more than 2,000 kilometers away from California, An Feng was a little hesitant, but when he saw the information below, he changed his attitude. Lei is very careful. In addition to the choice of only office buildings, there is a second option: there are local colleagues who research graphene, but they can''t continue to play, and they are going to sell the plant and equipment.


    Looking at the introduction, the equipment is 80% to 90% new, running well, and the factory building is very standard. If Anfeng wants a brand new factory building and purchases equipment to start operation, it will take at least half a year. The company is already well-established, and it only needs to add some small machines, which will not take much time.


    An Feng was moved. He also understands the troubles that Song Wenrui has encountered recently. Some high-precision machinery and equipment are not just bought, they need to place an order and wait for a few months or longer. When patience is exhausted It was long overdue until almost the same time, and then the research and development could begin.


    When I was struggling, the phone rang, and I picked it up to answer: "Hi, Roger!"


    "Hey Bruce, are you free soon?" Roger asked.


    "Yes, I''m in Los Angeles now." An Feng said.


    "I have a few friends who are interested in your investment and want to do a little venture capital. I wonder if you are free to come to a party the night after tomorrow? I can introduce you to each other. Well, and my brother Anthony will come too , he also wants to meet you."


    "Okay, formal or informal?" An Feng agreed, took a pen and wrote down the hotel address provided by Roger on the paper, and attended the night after tomorrow.


    Catiline, who had recovered a little strength from lying on the sofa, got up and asked with great interest, "Do you have a party the day after tomorrow?"


    "Yes, do you want to go?" An Feng asked her.


    "certainly."


    ��


    That night, Gu Li did not disappoint An Feng, and actually drove a Mercedes-Benz SUV back.


    But... this one is too big, right? Gu Li opened the door and got off the car. He was only a little taller than the car, but An Feng was as tall as the car. After receiving the receipt from Gu Li, it was 140,000 yuan, which is not cheap. He looked around the car a few times, no wonder, he Bought an AMG model: GL63-AMG.


    To put it simply, AMG is a high-performance model specially made for Mercedes-Benz. All models with AMG, even if they look similar in appearance, must have undergone extreme tuning. Unlike ordinary GL-class, this guy is not only the price Doubled, doubled the performance.


    An Feng drove for a lap. The full-size SUV has a huge space. What surprised him was that it was equipped with shift paddles only for a sports car. The acceleration time from 100 kilometers was 4.9 seconds, which was the same as driving a sports car. If it wasn''t for its huge body reminding An Feng that it was an SUV, he would have thought it was a sports car.


    An Feng has nothing to say, but he is quite satisfied. Guli��s choice is definitely a fighting nation. He can bully people with a big body, run around on the curb in traffic jams, and compete with sports cars on the highway. , not necessarily falling behind, this is the legendary almighty.


    ��


    The night after tomorrow, An Feng took Catherine, who was dressed up beautifully, wearing a small dress and jewelry, and turned into a **** and **** socialite, to the party invited by Roger. This time it is more formal, held in a hotel, men''s suits and dresses, only women can freely display their clothes to show their beauty.


    Guli, dressed in black, drove them to the hotel.


    As soon as I entered, I met Miranda and Roger.


    "Hi, Roger!" An Feng shook hands with him, hugged, and it was Miranda''s turn again. After letting go, he smiled and said, "Hey, pretty Miranda!"


    After the courtesies were over, Roger said to him: "Come, let me take you to meet friends."


    Roger pulled him to introduce a few friends. Obviously, Roger''s circle of friends is relatively young, and money is important. In line with the starting point of increasing the social circle, An Feng shook hands with them one by one, Passing business cards, chatting... After a round, Roger solemnly introduced a friend.


    "This is George, a venture capitalist, that is, he has a strong interest in your plan." Roger introduced him.


    "Hello!" George stretched out his hand to An Feng.


    "Nice to meet you, George." An Feng shook hands with him. George is tall and straight, and he looks like he should be under thirty. According to American aesthetics, he should be handsome and handsome. Qian Youshuai, I wish this kind of person would not be raised��except myself.


    George didn��t feel An Feng��s gloom. He said: ��I��m very interested in graphene. I heard that you will vigorously develop it. Perhaps the spring of carbon technology is coming.��


    An Feng said: "Some progress has been made, and there is no difficulty in research and development. The focus is on mass production."


    George was surprised by An Feng''s confidence. He said honestly, "Your confidence is really strong. As long as it is produced in energy, it will be enough to shake the technological world."


    An Feng said with a smile: "People''s ideals always have to be farther away, maybe the pace will not stop there in the future?"


    "Yes, I agree with that." George nodded.


    The two chatted for a while, and Roger, who had disappeared, reappeared. He was accompanied by a man who looked similar to him but was older. Hug: "Hey, Bruce! Long time no see, how are you doing?"


    "Very well, Anthony, how about you?" An Feng said.


    "Great!" Anthony smiled and introduced his female companion, "This is my fiancee Selena."


    "Hello, Bruce!" Selena shook his hand.


    Anthony said: "We are going to get married next Sunday."


    "Congratulations!" An Feng congratulated.


    Anthony exchanged a few words with them, and then sent out an invitation: "George, Bruce, are you interested in attending my wedding in Texas?"


    Only then did An Feng know that the Blueline brothers came from the hometown of cowboys. He also had the idea of ??going to Texas for a field trip recently, so he nodded and agreed, and George also said that he would participate. Roger was very happy: "Yes, we must have a lively bachelor party for Anthony! And the ladies!"

 Chapter 66： texas trip

    Chapter 66 Tour of Texas


    Usually, this American will hold a lively bachelor party before getting married, commonly known as "the last crazy single day", the bride-to-be and the groom-to-be will call their own best friends, and find a place to find ways to have crazy fun, themes, content and locations There is no limit, play to your heart''s content, and then take care of yourself. As for whether you can really take care of yourself after marriage, it is not within the scope of consideration. The law requires people not to commit crimes, but there are still people who continue to do so.


    The men and women who were invited to attend Anthony''s wedding got together and made their own suggestions. Two days later, An Feng was pulled on a flight to Las Vegas by Roger. Although Anthony is going to get married in Houston, the location of the bachelor party is in the city that never sleeps. The flight carried Anthony''s friends, friends of friends... a large group of people arrived at the Las Vegas airport, and when they went out, turn left and you will see the famous Long Street .


    There are world-famous hotels, casinos, and resorts on both sides of the street. Almost every large hotel and casino has its own theme, attracting guests with a strong style from all over the world. There are pyramid-shaped hotels and the ancient Roman-style Caesar��s Palace. , a smaller version of New York and more.


    Las Vegas is a city full of luxury and money. Every night, when other areas quiet down one after another, the excitement of the casino has just begun.


    The night everyone arrived, they had a party in the top suite of the hotel, drinking to their heart''s content, inviting strippers to perform, and a beautiful acrobatic troupe to perform, and some even got high on marijuana. An Feng thought it was crazy, but both Roger and George said it was too ordinary.


    An Feng was stunned, looking at the smoky environment around him, this can only be called plain?


    George said with a smile: "I used to have a friend who got married, held a party and demolished the entire floor of his nightclub, and was arrested by the police at night."


    Roger also said: "I have seen some people who drove the plane onto the road, and the first thing they did after jumping off was to go to the roadside store to buy alcohol."


    An Feng has nothing to say, these rich people are going crazy, and their destructive power is linked to their economic strength.


    "Let''s go, let''s go to something more lively!" Roger suggested.


    Because Anthony has a lot of friends, and the age distribution is uneven, because Anthony is in his early forties, and Roger is in his twenties similar to An Feng, so his preferences must be different. Roger left the hotel with George and a few people he was familiar with, got into the extended car provided by the hotel, and he reported the location.


    What else can you do in Las Vegas besides gambling? Naturally, the indispensable program is Bally''s-Jubilee (Sky Show over the Paragon). When they arrived, the event had just started, and most of them were adult men. Belle tried to make this place sexual and not sexual, but it was always inappropriate for children.


    Feast your eyes on An Feng, who is sitting in the VIP seat at the front. The actor is very close to him, and you can almost see the details on his body. It is fresh at first, but it gets boring later on. Two hundred steamed buns are in front of you. Dangling around, maybe people with intensive phobia will still faint.


    After reading it, I went to the casino. An Feng was not interested in gambling. He only played blackjack and slot machines. The machine brain helped him win some money, which made him a little refreshed. Maybe the air in the casino was very fresh. It is said that the casino has increased the oxygen concentration by 2-3 percentage points, keeping the guests excited and tireless.


    Roger''s desire to gamble is not very strong, and after losing chips, he joins An Feng, who plays large slot machines. An Feng placed a few chips and asked casually, "Why don''t you play anymore?"


    "I never expect these things of luck to make me a lot of money." Roger said with a smile, "Few of the real rich people make a living by gambling."


    An Feng praised his awareness.


    Everyone has had enough trouble in the back, and exchanged the remaining chips for money. Walking on the crowded street, the neon lights of hotels and casinos on both sides of the road are dazzling and colorful. It is still early. Young people at this time must not be idle. Everyone''s vote is decided, go to the theater for private booking!


    It''s actually going to a strip show. Nevada is good for that. It''s a paradise for casinos and brothels. You can do whatever you want with these two things. It''s much more interesting to book the venue to watch **** than to gamble. Everyone exchanged the money for small change, invited a dozen girls with excellent dancing skills, and sprinkled money all over the venue. The scenery is infinitely good.


    But Roger and his group didn��t do anything special. Except for watching the striptease, which was completely banned, everyone paid the money, drank the wine, and left after watching the show. It was already past four o''clock in the morning when we went back, and we lay down on the bed exhausted, and called in the phone book if necessary, but they were obviously more interested in marijuana. A group of people got together to smoke, but An Feng refused. Roger''s kindness.


    Roger exhaled beautifully, and said with a smile: "This stuff is less harmful to the body than cigarettes!"


    George dusted the cigarette in his hand and agreed: "I''d rather smoke this than cigarettes. I don''t know when my lungs are black."


    An Feng lay on the bed and shook his head.


    Roger smiled: "Okay, whatever you want, but marijuana in California will be legalized sooner or later. The public opinion cannot be violated. Forty percent of the residents have already agreed to legalize it."


    Later Roger was chatting with George energetically, but An Feng couldn''t remember clearly, and fell asleep tiredly, and was not woken up until noon the next day. Roger stood by the bed and said to him, "Hey! Get up, buddy! Take a shower and change clothes, we''re going."


    "Okay, give me another ten minutes." An Feng turned his head and continued to sleep.


    ��


    Everyone flies to Houston in the afternoon, Anthony''s wedding will be held tomorrow.


    In the evening, stay at the hotel reserved for guests by the Blue Lane family. When I opened my eyes the next morning, I chatted with Katilina about what was going on at the bachelor party. An Feng told the crazyness of the men. Katilina said that they were not as crazy as men, but they were still very interesting.


    "I took artistic photos for them." Katilina said with a smile.


    "Artistic photo?" An Feng glanced at her, suddenly realized: "You don''t mean that kind of photo?"


    Katilina hugged his arm sideways: "Of course, there are brides-to-be! We''ve had enough to drink and we''re tired from shopping, so we''ll go to the **** shop. After returning to the hotel, we''ll follow my instructions. Opinion, take modeling photos of them, less than a dozen photos, more than a hundred."


    An Feng was taken aback, is this going to XX door?


    Katilina also proudly said: "They all felt very satisfied. Finally, after everyone''s consultation and agreement, we sent a small part of the art photos to a local magazine called "Sexy-chick". I heard that it was just established. , a bit of a ''playboy'', but more geared towards the relaxed market conditions of Nevada."


    Damn, it''s hard not to be famous now. An Feng was speechless for a while, and said that the ladies'' bachelor parties were not crazy? This is many times crazier than these guys, okay? But since it was agreed by everyone, no matter how famous they are, it is voluntary, and they can''t blame each other.


    "I''m good, right?" Katilina asked him for credit.


    "It''s amazing!" What else can An Feng say besides admiration?


    "It''s cool to think about it now." Katilina was smug.


    ��


    In the morning, I attended Anthony''s wedding in full dress. The wedding was held in a church with a strong Western style. There were a lot of people from all walks of life, including politicians and businessmen, and many of them were of high status. According to the introduction, they were either wealthy people or state councilors, members of Congress... They were here to show off old Blue Lane''s face.


    After the wedding, there was a cold dinner party in a nearby resort hotel, and everyone took a group photo to commemorate it. In fact, it was for all guests to get to know each other.


    What surprised An Feng the most was that he actually met Tima Sinclair.


    She was still wearing a dress, a hat, and a cane... An Feng remembered that Mrs. Sinclair''s outfit was a bit like that of the Queen of England. No wonder when we met last time, I always felt that she was extravagant. He used to shake hands with his wife enthusiastically, and she was also surprised by An Feng''s appearance.


    "I really didn''t expect to meet you here." An Feng said with a smile.


    Sinclair had a good impression of An Feng, a smile appeared on her wrinkled face: "I live in Texas, you can come to my farm in Medina as a guest when you are free."


    "I will definitely do it when I have time." An Feng said sincerely.


    Mrs. Sinclair smiled and nodded, and then people kept coming to say hello to her. Most of them were middle-aged, and their identities did not seem to be simple. With An Feng''s current level of strength, in front of them, I am afraid that he is only a scumbag. He was just about to leave, but Sinclair actually introduced An Feng to them.


    Sinclair said to them: "He is my partner, Bruce, a pioneer in medicine, and he inherited Gene''s work."


    Her words hit An Feng like a spotlight, which was impressive. Mrs. Sinclair has a certain influence locally and even in the Federation. Many politicians present have received her donations or support, and wealthy businessmen have also cooperated with her. She is a typical "no name on the list" "Regal.


    An Feng accompanies Mrs. Sinclair to meet politicians and celebrities. He is really flattered. All the names sound awesome, but now when facing the old lady, he is always full of hospitality. Shaoguang, he didn''t dare to give the old lady''s business card into his hand.


    Looking down, they are all philanthropists, founders of a certain foundation.


    Looking at Mrs. Sinclair, who is calm and composed, with a calm face, so calm that it is impossible to figure out whether it is happiness, anger, sorrow or joy. An Feng admires it from the bottom of his heart.


    The buffet is over, we have a short break, and the formal banquet will be held in the afternoon, but this time it is not in the hotel, but in the spacious backyard of the Blueline family. The scenery is beautiful, the trees are clustered, without the heaviness of the church, everyone can relax and sing and dance freely, watching the bride and groom dance a section, and the guests also perform a section, although there is no Chinese wedding to kill chickens and sheep, and gather at a table. , but also uniquely wonderful.


    The afternoon banquet ended successfully, An Feng was about to leave, but Anthony came in a hurry.


    He said, "My father wants you to stay for dinner."


    Anthony and An Feng are just ordinary friends, there is no need to stay overnight, puzzled, Anthony added: "Mrs. Sinclair also hopes that you can stay."


    An Feng thought for a while, then agreed with a smile: "Okay, thank you very much."

 Chapter 67： big backer

    Chapter 67 Big Backer


    An Feng stayed behind without knowing it.


    The wedding banquet is over, the servants are cleaning the scene, and the rest are preparing for the dinner. An Feng had nothing to do, so he stayed in the yard after the meeting and brought a bunch of fruit salad to share with Katilina. This wedding banquet was not as arrogant as domestic Guanbao or even Guanbao. An Feng only ate a few pieces of dessert and drank two glasses of champagne, most of the time he was smiling and chatting with strangers.


    "Open your mouth." Katilina, who was sitting sideways on his lap, held a piece of apple and handed it to An Feng''s mouth. He opened his mouth and bit it, making her giggle.


    "You can really eat." Katilina wiped his mouth.


    "I''m starving to death. I was hungry throughout the wedding banquet. Now I don''t need to worry about my image anymore." An Feng complained.


    Anthony, who was coming, heard his words and apologized deeply: "I''m really sorry, we didn''t consider the supply of meals carefully."


    An Feng smiled and said, "Don''t worry, I''m just joking."


    Anthony smiled slightly, pulled up a chair and sat down in front of An Feng, and Katilina stood up holding the plate, and said, "I''ll help you add something."


    Anthony said: "Thank you for attending my wedding. The dinner will start in about half an hour. If you need to prepare, you can ask someone to do it for you."


    "Thank you for your kindness, but I have nothing prepared." After speaking, he looked at Anthony and felt that he was more reliable, so he asked, "I want to ask, do you know Mrs. Sinclair?"


    Anthony said without hesitation: "Mr. Sinclair is a good friend of my father. As far as I know, Mr. Sinclair is a very tasteful oil tycoon, and his wife is also a philanthropist and a visionary investor. It involves various fields, mainly high-tech and energy."


    An Feng rolled his eyes and approached him: "Can you not be so formal?"


    Anthony smiled: "I''m sorry, you know that I have made several speeches recently, and the rhythm can''t be changed for a while. How should I put it... let''s talk about ''Xin''s Energy'' first. It is a non-listed company in Texas. The turnover exceeds 100 billion, and the Sinclair family has a controlling stake."


    "Oil family?" An Feng said.


    Anthony explained: "It is accurate to say that it started with oil, but now it involves energy including oil, and there are also some major investments, which cover too much and involve privacy. Sorry, I can''t say too much. After the death of Mr. Sinclair, All personal shares are inherited to Mrs. Sinclair."


    An Feng understood, it turned out that she was in control.


    "In addition, to remind you, her network is huge, covering from financial institutions to various industrial institutions, and her ability to raise money is terrifying. It can be said that in Texas, her words are as effective as the governor, and even a decision can The employment of tens of thousands of people is a problem!"


    An Feng was surprised. He had never seen how awesome the old lady was, but Texas was very important in the United States. It is a powerhouse of energy and industry, the second largest state in the United States, and developed aerospace and electronic technologies. Of course, there were also many tough humans��such as The crazy cowboy Kennedy left behind in Dallas, and their thorny Governor Perry, who is conservative and stubborn, is not interested in some federal policies. He even threatened to secede from the United States and gained a lot of support. If he establishes the "Republic of Texas", it will be no less than breaking a leg of the United States.


    And Anthony thinks the old lady is as capable as the thorny governor who manages the cowboys?


    According to his statement, Mrs. Sinclair is a typical local bigwig who dares to pay someone to blow the president''s head...or it may be the big backer he has inadvertently relied on. In addition, she is also a venture capitalist. Is it possible for her to invest some money in her own graphene industry?


    ��


    The dinner began in the ornately decorated dining room of the Blue Lane family.


    The ceiling is high, with artificial candlesticks hanging down, a long western table in the center, a set of shiny tableware, a strong European aristocratic style, and even a Gothic style with a sense of church solemnity. Eating in this kind of place really tests your table manners and patience.


    Fortunately, An Feng has participated in this kind of dinner party, and it was like this at Joanna''s house last time, except that their table setting is more warm, while this place is too serious. Although eating is the inevitable theme of the dinner, the conversation still takes a lot of weight... An Feng couldn''t figure out how they got full.


    Sitting at the long table were the Blueline family, Roger''s brother and sister-in-law, father and mother, and some relatives and friends. The guests were Mrs. Sinclair and Anfeng and his companion Catilina. After you sit down, there are still servants standing behind you, refilling your wine at any time, this specification is really particular.


    Old Blueline lived up to his role as the host, adjusted the atmosphere, and made the guests feel relaxed and satisfied. While eating and chatting, the topics became more interesting. It was interesting for An Feng to listen to Old Blueline talking about his two sons , and then the topic turned to An Feng.


    When it comes to his career, An Feng can talk a lot. He tried to introduce graphene in a concise and easy-to-understand way. Everyone listened carefully. Mrs. Sinclair also asked a few tricky questions. In Anfeng, he was sure that he could overcome technical difficulties, so he answered confidently.


    The second half of the dinner focused on An Feng''s confident technology. He undoubtedly brought a venture capital opportunity. It depends on how everyone present chooses... The dinner took more than three hours to end. An Feng brought Katie Lina returned to the guest room prepared for them, and fell on the bed tiredly.


    Catilina complained: "I''m too tired. Although I''m sitting and eating, it feels worse than having me speak to thousands of people on stage."


    "Is that an exaggeration?" An Feng smiled.


    "Yes." Katilina said, "Especially when you and the old lady speak with British accents, I feel as if I am from the country."


    An Feng said with a smile: "Your mother tongue is Spanish, what''s so strange, if they speak Spanish, they still look like country bumpkins."


    "That makes sense." Katilina turned her head to look at An Feng, "However, you can master any language, let alone Spanish, copy mine. Last time I heard you speak Russian with Guli, if It��s not that you speak slowly, I almost thought you were from the same area.��


    "Because I''m a genius!" An Feng said proudly.


    ��


    The next day, after eating breakfast at Blueline''s house, Roger, who was on the phone outside, came back and told An Feng: "I informed George to come."


    "What''s the matter?" An Feng was surprised.


    "We are going to discuss with you here about cooperation in the development of graphene." Roger said with a smile, "Surprised, right? We have so many partners at once."


    An Feng said: "It''s true, but didn''t you all hesitate before?"


    Roger shrugged: "That''s because everyone needs time to understand, but since Mrs. Sinclair has a strong intention, we all decided to keep up with her."


    "Is it really that magical?" An Feng was sad, feeling that the hype he said last night was not as good as the old lady''s strong intentions?


    Roger smiled: "Her vision is very unique, she has many successful examples, and even if she loses money, isn''t it still supported by you, the major shareholder?"


    Talking in the back garden of the Blueline house in the morning.


    Anfeng''s plan is to establish a company with a capital of 20 million yuan. Generally, new companies do not have such a strong investment. Looking at the assets of some well-known companies when they go public, they are only about 30 to 40 million yuan. Anfeng''s pace is very fast. Big, this must have enough hard power to support.


    After everyone''s negotiation, Anfeng finally invested 12 million to take 60% of the shares and became the controlling shareholder. Mrs. Sinclair contributed 4 million to account for 20% of the shares, and finally Roger, Anthony, George and Old Blueline, each with a 5% share.


    Since it is a cooperative relationship, the managers of the company are recommended or recruited by everyone. Recruitment is generally only considered by small companies. You are either bankers or energy giants. They poach executives from other industries, or directly through their own Relational calls are preferred.


    An Feng was at ease. He is not familiar with these aspects of operations. He is absolutely unsuitable to run a business. The only thing he can do is to be a qualified shopkeeper. to consider.


    Including starting from site selection, to registering the company, recruiting employees, setting up department positions... If he does a lot of headaches, it is estimated that he will not be able to handle them in two or three years. Another point is that intangible influence is very important. With such a strong background, partners are still worried that they will not be able to walk away?


    In the afternoon of the same day, they also inspected the company that An Feng said could not survive, and it was easier now. The shareholders brought along a team of assistant managers, lawyers, appraisers, asset appraisers... inside and out. I checked it outside. Originally, An Feng was worried about whether the device was damaged. Now he only plays with his mobile phone behind him. Finally, after hearing the conclusion, he will buy it if it is suitable, and it is not suitable to look for it elsewhere.


    The result was quite appropriate, with the social relationship of the shareholders involved, the other party underwritten some amounts when reselling the equipment, and avoided a lot of taxes reasonably. It would definitely not work if An Feng came alone. After the two parties drew up the contract, they entered the topic of cooperation and began to contact their own teams.

 Chapter 68： manor guest

    Chapter 68 The manor as a guest


    An Feng called John and his lawyer in California and asked them to come. People can be lazy, but signing a contract should not be hasty. In addition, he also contacted Song Wenrui in California, and the name of the company has been selected. It is called "GP", which is the abbreviation of graphene, which is simple and clear.


    The next step is to wait for the lawyer, but before that, An Feng was invited by Mrs. Sinclair to visit her farm in Medina County.


    They set off on a private business jet, which was luxurious and comfortable. Unfortunately, the flight time was too short, and Anfeng started to land before he could experience it well. Austin is less than two hundred kilometers away from Medina County, which is closer to San Antonio and is a wealthy place.


    After the plane landed smoothly, the cabin door was opened, and after getting off the plane, three Land Rover SUVs parked aside, big men in black were waiting for the arrival of the guests. Without even leaving the airport, Mrs. Sinclair and her assistant got into the front car, An Feng and Katilina took the rear Range Rover, and the convoy drove to the farm.


    As soon as you leave the city, the surrounding area immediately turns into a large rural area, with buildings and pedestrians all disappearing. Except for the straight road, there are green fields on both sides. You can��t see a single family in the past. Occasionally, there are a few bold wild deer crossing the road. Cross the road and don''t care about the traffic.


    An Feng is used to the bold wild animals in the United States. To be honest, this place is not bad, with green mountains and green waters, well-developed transportation, and close to big cities. Former US President George W. Bush is also from Texas. He lives on a very ordinary farm in the middle of the country, surrounded by a desolate town.


    So these farms may look ordinary, but it doesn''t necessarily mean that the owner has a lot of background. Of course, Mrs. Sinclair''s farm is not as desolate as the former president''s. The air here is fresh, the fields are vast, and rows of trees are planted around the river, creating a beautiful pastoral scenery.


    The vehicle drove into the concrete road paved by the farm, and it took five minutes to see the house. An Feng looked out the window, and he was sure Mrs. Sinclair was being modest in calling this a farm... After passing through dense woods and stone bridges, the front of his eyes Suddenly, there is a flat and open green space, a large artificially dug lake, a few swans wandering leisurely on the calm lake, and a wide corridor leading to a magnificent Baroque building.


    Look at the scenery, it would be more appropriate to call it a manor. They sold the farm just for fun. Do billionaires need to farm?


    Two cars bypassed the fountain and stopped in front of the door. Uniformly dressed servants stood in a row. One of them was a housekeeper in his sixties who was dressed in a suit and stood facing the door. The car stopped, and he stepped forward to pull it away. Car door, Mrs. Sinclair, please get out of the car. An Feng''s side is also treated the same way.


    The butler in the tuxedo was expressionless, and his movements were standard and elegant. With an authentic Oxford accent, he commanded skillfully and methodically. Not to mention Mrs. Sinclair''s noble background, even an ordinary rich man would be influenced by it. Create an illusion of "three generations of nobles".


    An Feng got off the car, walked into the house, praised her farm, and was taken back to the guest room by the servants. A man and a woman seemed to help them change their clothes.


    An Feng refused: "Thank you, but you should wait outside."


    The two servants withdrew, and Katilina asked with a smile: "Mr. An, don''t you enjoy the treatment of a nobleman?"


    "It always feels weird to let a man touch my body." An Feng said.


    "What about me?" Katilina rushed over.


    "Hahaha, don''t mess around, the old lady is still waiting for us!" An Feng hugged her around a few times, and of course kissed and touched her a few times.


    After combing, they went downstairs. It was past one o''clock in the afternoon. Mrs. Sinclair invited them to the backyard for afternoon tea. An Feng is very adaptable to this habit. After all, the lifestyle of the old aristocrat has many similarities with Joanna, including some old-fashioned attitudes towards life.


    Drinking tea and eating biscuits with Mrs. Sinclair, Katilina originally thought it was fun, but after sitting for half an hour, she just smiled and listened to An Feng and the old lady chatting about some irrelevant things Things, such as raising a dog, raising a horse, etc., the eyelids frequently fight.


    But Mrs. Sinclair is very understanding, she kindly said to Catalina: "Miss Gomez, are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?"


    The housekeeper heard her, looked at her, and was ready to help at any time.


    Catilina smiled shyly, and she said: "One thing, I think I should feel more refreshed when I walk."


    Mrs. Sinclair smiled: "Please feel free to treat this as your own home."


    Butler: "Miss Gomez, do you need a maid to accompany you?"


    "Thank you, I''m used to being alone." Katilina said goodbye politely, and after a while, she was found driving a lawn mower in the distance, running around energetically.


    An Feng shook his head and smiled.


    Ms. Sinclair had a kind smile on her face: "Miss Gomez is lively and straightforward. Like my little granddaughter, she can sit with me for half an hour at most."


    An Feng asked: "How old is your granddaughter?"


    She said: "She is seventeen years old this year. I haven''t seen her for a long time. She lives in New York with her parents. Her personality is not as stable as yours. It doesn''t bother her to chat with me for so long."


    An Feng said with a smile: "Actually, I''m usually quite impatient, but I like this style. I drink tea in a daze and don''t think about anything."


    Mrs. Sinclair agrees: "It''s a good life."


    Chatting with the old lady is actually quite boring, but maybe it��s been a long time since I found someone who can listen and share common interests. She is very talkative. From her mouth, I heard that she lives alone in this farm, and her children occasionally come over for a visit. A trip, but will leave in a hurry soon, the days are mostly calm and monotonous.


    Compared to his homeland, An Feng still finds that the old men and women there live a happy life, such as performing Yangko in a team, dancing the evil square dance, and so on. It is much more fun than Mrs. Sinclair living alone in such a big empty house. It seems that money does not necessarily buy happiness, nor can it drive away loneliness.


    But you can��t buy anything without money, An Feng is sure. The lawyer arrived the next day, and all he needed was the signing procedure, so he stayed in the manor for two more days. Mrs. Sinclair does not ride horses, but she has several fine horses, one of which was once a champion horse, a British purebred, tall and mighty.


    An Feng rode with itchy hands. The hot-blooded horse has a bad temper and resists strangers, but his riding skills played a role. It took a while to tame this temperamental purebred. Wearing a full set of English equestrian equipment, he rode it galloping on the horse field in a heroic manner , received a lot of praise.


    Afterwards, I learned that this thoroughbred horse was raised by her husband before his death. It is worth millions. The hot-blooded horse has a bad temper, and there are very few people who can tame it. Usually, it is her child who rides it for a few laps. Afterwards, An Feng felt that it was presumptuous to mount such an important horse casually, but she didn''t mind.


    I don''t know if other guests can adapt to this kind of life in the countryside. An Feng feels that he is still very comfortable. Apart from those complicated etiquettes, maybe Joanna can handle the scene better. However, the butler was considerate and helped the guests to improve these deficiencies.


    An Feng''s feeling is that this old butler can almost take care of your thoughts, allowing the host and guests to just enjoy themselves without any worries.


    In addition, after a few days of getting along, An Feng felt that Mrs. Sinclair was very cheerful and had an optimistic attitude towards life, because An Feng found out that she was taking anticancer drugs.


    What exactly is related to privacy, An Feng didn''t ask.


    An Feng silently blesses the old lady who is very close to him, cancer... I hope she can survive until the day when the research center produces results. An Feng glanced at her old face, there must be exhaustion and pain hidden behind it... He shook hands with her: "Thank you for your care these past few days, I feel very comfortable!"


    Mrs. Sinclair said: "I will continue to be a guest when you have time. I welcome it."


    An Feng said: "The next time you have a chance, bring my friend Joanna over here, she will definitely hit it off with you."


    "I welcome her very much." Mrs. Sinclair smiled.


    Joanna mentioned it by accident the day before yesterday. I didn��t expect Mrs. Sinclair to be very familiar with the surname "Stanwell". After careful questioning, Joanna may be a distant relative of her! The old lady has been in the United States for decades, and she often went back when she was young. When she is old, she cannot travel long distances, but she is very nostalgic.


    An Feng and Katilina said goodbye, and flew to Austin by special plane. After getting off the plane, I met my assistant and lawyer, and then everyone signed a contract with the new company. Mrs. Sinclair did not come, but she sent a representative. After the contract is signed, all that remains is to wait for the registration of the GP company and its subsequent operations.


    However, it has little to do with An Feng. The only thing he needs to do now is to prepare technology and recruit talents. The goal is to strive for results next year and mass production within three years. This is related to the market share of 100 billion, and it is only the microcomputer chip. Bigger cakes await.

 Chapter 69： Busy

    Chapter 69 Busy


    After dealing with things in Austin, An Feng flew back to San Francisco in a non-stop special plane, and Mrs. Sinclair lent her business jet to An Feng temporarily. Considering that the GP company''s work is not over yet, and they will fly frequently during this period, An Feng did not refuse the old lady''s kindness.


    This Bombardier-Challenger 850 has a top-level comfortable cabin, equipped with 17 seats, and the interior space is spacious, with common bars, sofas, and office areas. Add a bed and you will become a mansion in the air. Of course, its cabin layout is completely customized by the customer, you can install it if you want, and you can also design your own patterns. Its range can reach 5,400 kilometers, and it can fly anywhere in the United States with a full tank of fuel.


    Business jets take the comfort of passengers into consideration to the greatest extent, and they will not feel oppressed even in the air at 3,000 meters, and its engine is placed at the tail, so the noise is very small, which will not affect the passengers'' work and rest. When there is nothing to do, pull the table away Drink a glass of wine, eat some steak, and lie down on the sofa when you are sleepy...


    An Feng likes this style very much, but if he wants to buy it, he will have to pay at least 30 million US dollars for the "bare machine". Ten thousand U.S. dollars, and it will take two or three years before the order is placed.


    An Feng''s current capital cannot support this wish, and he still has to work hard to earn money. After a few hours of flying, he landed at the airport in San Francisco. An Feng stayed at the local hotel and got in touch with Song Wenrui by phone. It was already the beginning of December, and American universities had ushered in the winter vacation.


    Song Wenrui and Tian Hao''s prospective graduates have all prepared their luggage. The GP company is well-equipped, and they can get started after a few days of exploration. As the festival is approaching, time waits for no one. Song Wenrui also hopes to get back to work as soon as possible, so the next day and After meeting with An Feng, the special plane transferred to Paso Robles Airport.


    After landing at the airport, An Feng took a ride home with Sheriff James. He went back mainly to get his computer and paper documents. By the way, he informed Old John that he needed to go out for a while, and he made up his own mind when something happened, and then brought his bodyguard, Gu Li, to continue to the airport and fly directly to Austin.


    The beautiful stewardess brought them lunch. In addition to Song Wenrui and Tian Hao, there is also a Chinese and two Americans present. An Feng''s swift and resolute actions gave them a huge shock. The dedicated plane and dedicated personnel service, and VIP access all the way made their dream of a sports car and luxury house seem small in comparison.


    They have met An Feng a few times, giving the impression that they are very casual, like a young man skateboarding on the beach in California, with a gentle smile on his face, but now he has changed, wearing a suit and tie, with a The assistant and bodyguard calmly explained their schedule to the pilot... This scene really made people feel a little uneasy. However, An Feng''s talkativeness quickly relieved their tension.


    After signing the contract and the non-disclosure agreement in the air, An Feng raised his head to greet the stewardess: "Michelle, please bring us a glass of champagne for the six of us."


    "Please wait a moment, sir." The stewardess smiled and left.


    Amidst the sound of clinking glasses, several young people with their dreams climbed onto the boat of An Feng... After drinking a few sips of champagne, An Feng showed them the information. The theory and steps are all there, and now the details are missing. Not announced. What is mentioned in it is the precision instrument.


    An Feng made a long speech: "If we want to actually manufacture and mass-produce chips, what we lack the most is machinery and equipment. At present, there is no special machine tool in the world. Fortunately, it is not too difficult. We can modify it from the basics first. It is a relatively simple process to create a sample..."


    An Feng''s point of view is subversive. At present, the technical difficulty of graphene is that there is no feasible method, and the machine is second. As long as there is a good method, the machine can serve it. On the contrary, he has the solution to all the troubles, but the scene he faces is: the machine is behind.


    Fortunately, he doesn''t have to worry about everything. His main purpose is to impart knowledge to these guys, and let them master it before passing it on to others. Everyone is a high-achieving student from a prestigious university, with easy-to-use brains and low cost... Do you think that with a monthly salary of three to four thousand dollars, you can hire those experts from outside?


    Continue to think in the dream. So Anfeng is also very secretive about this. Of course, as long as the results are produced, bonuses are indispensable, and even some employee shares are fine. If you consider going public in the future, refer to the increase rate of other high-tech companies. Isn��t it true that the stock price has increased by 100 times? question.


    Of course, industries with the ability to monopolize do not necessarily have to go public. Even considering these are too long-term, An Feng only cares about profitability, and doesn''t care what it will develop into. Even after the company becomes famous, someone is willing to give him 100 billion at once, and he can package and sell the company.


    After wasting a lot of saliva, even though the apprentices were advanced in consciousness, they still didn��t know much about it. An Feng asked them to think about it slowly, and sat down on the sofa by themselves. Fascinated by decryption games on mobile phones. He had to be lazy and take a nap.


    ��


    In the following days, An Feng felt a little like teaching elementary school students again.


    Of course, elementary school students know more and more, and their knowledge and theories are becoming more and more complicated. At the same time, Anthony used his relationship to poach a lot of corners for the company, and those technical employees who had worked at Dell and IBM were poached. After An Feng heard the news, he was overwhelmed with admiration! Don''t you know that we are very close to these two giants? It''s not far from home, can you keep a low profile, brother?


    But as long as it is legal for a company to poach people, can you still dismantle my company the next day? Other departments of the company continue to improve and operate. Only Anfeng''s R&D team still maintains a state of six people. It seems that there is no major progress. Instead, materials have been bought batch after batch, and machines are also non-stop for 24 hours. There was a no-entry sign on the door, and no one could figure out what they were doing all day.


    Two days later, An Feng flew to Los Angeles.


    Gu Li drove him to the Gene and Tima Research Center in GL63. Mike Case and the others had problems with some details, so that they couldn��t communicate clearly on the Internet. Point out the maze. Then he summoned the supervisor, Joseph Hart, and asked him about the operation of the weight-loss drug team. The answer he got was that it was going well and no one encountered any difficulties.


    Is it difficult to follow the formula? An Feng left a message: "Anyone who dares to say it is difficult will be fired!"


    Then BOSS left, and Guli continued to drive on the road. The second stop was Tailan Company, but it was not a big deal, but the product review had come down, which meant that the company could officially push the fertilizer to the market, and the advertising and sales could be done casually. . And he needs to attend a shareholder meeting.


    The only suggestion An Feng gave was: Come on as much as you want.


    Then I had to go back to Austin, because the company has completed the registration and tax registration, and obtained the business license. It only took five days before and after. As a result of special affairs, who made Tima Sinclair influential in Texas? It''s huge, heroes from all walks of life can''t wait to curry favor with her.


    In fact, the speed of registering a company in the United States is still okay, an average of ten days, at least much faster than the bloated institutions and procedures in China. start a company. Of course, things have to look forward. I heard that reforms have been made now, and the speed has increased a lot.


    It''s a pity that GP is still leaderless. It has no CEO who can preside over the overall situation. It only has a big boss who specializes in experiments, an old lady who is preparing for Christmas, and two playboys who can only play around. , the only industrious Anthony, went on his honeymoon.


    An Feng didn''t care about the back, and ran back to California by himself.


    There are still more than ten days before Christmas, and Christmas goods can be seen everywhere on the street, and some shops put mini Christmas trees on sale early. The festive atmosphere is strong.


    Katilina has received good news in the past few days. At the last bachelor party, their mischievous photos were published in "Se.xy-chick" magazine. The magazine owner wants to invite her to try out as a fashion creative director.


    Catilina asked hesitantly, "Do you think I should try it? They''re preparing a Christmas special."


    An Feng encouraged her: "Go, didn''t you say that you are good at showing the beauty of characters? This is your chance! Grab it!"


    "Okay, I''ll try it," Katilina said.

 Chapter 70： Come for Christmas【Third update】

    Chapter 70 Come for Christmas��Third update��


    Then An Feng flew to Las Vegas on a special plane.


    It��s really cool to sit in a private jet, and it feels very domineering to fly a private jet at any time, but the various fees are like burning money, such as take-off and landing fees, parking fees, cleaning fees, fuel fees, random personnel expenses... After all, it takes a day It takes about ten thousand dollars to have fun.


    Calculated, it will cost more than three million yuan a year, which is also in line with what the helicopter salesman said at the beginning. The annual cost accounts for about 10% of the value of the aircraft. However, An Feng still thinks it is worth it. Two people are indeed a waste, but if more than a dozen people go to fly first class in civil aviation, the cost may be even higher.


    He called the Bellagio Hotel on the plane and asked them to send an extended car to pick him up. Last time I wanted to see the musical fountain that was performed every day, but unfortunately I was too crazy to take a closer look. This time I can��t miss it, not to mention that there is a 1/2 version of the Eiffel Tower in Paris opposite the Bellagio.


    If you plan to stay in Las Vegas for a few nights, there is no need to let the plane stop here. The overnight fee at the airport is not low. The extended Hummer sent by the hotel picked them up, and the practice was to live in the best room. An Feng originally lived in a good room for the sake of quietness, but now it has become a habit of traveling.


    The excitement of the night in the casino remains unchanged, and Christmas has even stimulated some gamblers to consume out of boredom. An Feng lived in the hotel with the best view, and watched the musical fountain a few times from a commanding height, just for fun. Katilina felt bored and dragged him to a strip bar.


    The next day he accompanied Katilina to the local magazine office.


    It''s quite a remote place. If it wasn''t for the complete procedures found online, An Feng would have thought it was a small black house, but the environment inside is okay. It''s not spacious, but it''s comfortable. There are male and female employees, and most of them are male. Photographers, and some female photographers.


    The person who received Katilina was the person in charge of the magazine, a Caucasian man in his thirties named Stewart, with a short stature and sunken eyeballs. He seemed not very energetic, but he talked about his magazine endlessly: "We have only been established for a year, but we have achieved good results, and our sales have been steadily increasing. In addition, readers are very interested in the theme of this issue''s bachelor party."


    Katilina and Stuart were talking, and An Feng walked around when he was bored. There were quite a lot of working women. He flipped through the magazine and found that it was not as full of eighteen. Forbidden, style and **** as he thought. Somewhat similar, more in line with Nevada style while pursuing men''s fashion.


    I went to look at the post-retouching of the photos by a few girls and artists. The layman can''t see the strength, but they all try to move towards the aspect of love and not sex, that is, half-covered. As far as the degree of temptation is concerned, stripping naked is far from enough to be faintly attractive. Don''t you see so many people eager to peek up the skirts of beautiful women?


    "Do you think this angle is good?" A red-haired girl who was editing images in front of the computer asked him back.


    "It would be better if it was darker below." An Feng said.


    The red-haired girl frowned and looked at the picture, then suddenly smiled and nodded: "Good idea!"


    An Feng turned back, and it seemed that Kadilina had almost talked with Stuart, she shook An Feng''s arm, and said happily: "Stuart has many good ideas, I want to stay and try, do it What do you think of this Christmas special?"


    An Feng shrugged: "Whatever you want."


    ��


    An Feng also watched the set for two days. How should I put it... Stuart has high expectations for the magazine. He is determined to be on par with his predecessor Playboy, or even surpass him. An Feng admires his determination, but determination alone is not enough Yes, if you want to survive in a highly competitive society, you need capital and strength.


    He lacks both.


    As for Katilina, she is a talented person. Her work covers a wide range, matching clothes and designing styles for female models. An Feng can''t understand the doorway inside, so she has a lot of fun.


    Some of those female models are professional models, and some are Nevada characteristics, but they are legal here, prostitutes are also taxpayers, and have the right to parade on the street with signs... Well, this magazine is currently part of the source of funding It''s the ad in the bottom corner of the page, along with the pimp''s phone call. If your content is shot very well, the ladies who hang out overnight will be able to attract customers, and the magazine will flourish.


    This gray way of pimping is something Playboy doesn''t have.


    Stuart was very satisfied with the performance of Katilina, the interim creative director. When he decided to go back after the filming, he even drove to see her off in person. An Feng thought he was interested in his son, but it was a pity that he talked about photography and styling along the way. question, like two idiots.


    He was a little disappointed, Guli''s fist seemed to be unable to strike yet.


    Maybe Stuart also knows his own weight. When he drove into the airport and saw the private business jet that came to pick up An Feng, the shock on his face was inevitable. He even wiped his hands and handed An Feng a business card. She shook hands with him and watched An Feng and Katilina get on the plane.


    On the way back, I heard Katilina chattering, and I could see that she was very interested. Until later, when she talked about the advantages of less working hours, uncertain locations, and being able to spend with public funds, An Feng gave her too high a rating from the front. Yes, she was running to make easy money.


    After getting off the plane, I answered a call from China: "Hey, Xiao Lezi, why are you free to call me?"


    "Crap, it''s Brother Le!" Wang Le scolded on the other end of the phone, "I specially chose a time in your afternoon to call you, isn''t that interesting?"


    "Interesting, what''s the matter?" An Feng asked.


    "It''s about cooperating to open a branch company. My brother is also very interested. He wants to go to the United States to have an interview with you, and spend another Christmas or something."


    "Welcome, I am treating you to the Christmas dinner." An Feng said with a smile.


    "It''s just a Christmas dinner, how stingy!" Wang Le complained.


    "Okay, okay, you guys are here, let me take care of the whole process, okay?"


    "Just for you, I will give you this investment!"


    Wang Le''s visa hasn''t expired yet. One day a domestic call came, and tomorrow the plane arrived in Los Angeles. An Feng happened to be in LA, so he went to pick them up at the airport.


    The first one to appear was Wang Le in a black coat and a hat playing at the beach. An Feng stepped forward and gave him a thump: "You''re acting cool again, unfortunately, the weather is very warm here!"


    "Go!" Wang Le pushed him away in disgust, and introduced a man and a woman beside him, "This is my elder brother Wang Wei, you have seen it before, this beauty is my sister-in-law Tang Feifei."


    "Hello!" An Feng smiled and shook hands with them. Wang Le''s elder brother, An Feng, has met him a few times before. He is very aura. When he goes out, he has a Mercedes and a driver. As for Tang Feifei, it was the first time I met a very gentle woman.


    "Let''s go, let''s go back to the old three''s house first, and then go out for the holidays after rest!" Wang Le said in a big way, leading everyone to go forward.


    An Feng followed behind, Wang Wei shook his head: "This kid is virtuous!"


    An Feng said: "He only does this in front of his very close friends."


    "I agree with that." Wang Wei nodded.


    They walked for a while in the airport, An Feng reminded Wang Le who was going to buy a ticket: "Don''t keep walking, follow me, we will go through the VIP channel."


    Wang Le turned back with a puzzled face: "How to say?" An Feng was not in a hurry to solve the mystery, took them away from the airport, made a phone call, and after a few minutes, a black Mercedes-Benz full-size SUV drove up, and An Feng pulled it away. door, signaling everyone to get on the bus: "Everyone, please get in the car!"


    Several people got into the car, and seeing that the driver was a big white man, Wang Le touched An Feng with his arm, raised his chin and asked, "Why are you doing this?"


    An Feng smiled and said, "This is my driver and safety officer."


    "Hello, everyone. My name is Guli." Guli turned around and greeted in his Russian English. Everyone took a while to understand and followed suit.


    Mercedes-Benz left LAX and went to Santa Monica Airport. Six or seven minutes later, it passed through the VIP passage of the airport without hindrance, entered the interior of the airport, and drove directly in front of a white-painted private jet. The gangway has been lowered, and a blond stewardess in business attire is waiting by the side.


    After getting off the car, the three of them were even more surprised. However, Wang Le''s expression was richer, while Wang Wei''s face remained unchanged, but his eyes showed envy. Gu Li drove the car back to the parking lot, An Feng greeted everyone to get on the plane, and a brown-haired beauty in the cabin stood up and greeted them.


    "Hi!" Wang Le and Katilina waved, then turned their heads and asked An Feng in a low voice: "What did she say?"


    "Damn it, can''t it be that you can''t understand English when you see a beautiful woman?" An Feng said exaggeratedly, but Katilina''s English does have a bit of an accent.


    After Katilina greeted them one by one, please sit down, the first thing Wang Le sat down asked: "Good guy! When did you get this plane?"


    The faces of Wang Wei and Tang Feifei were also full of curiosity. An Feng explained: "It''s not mine. Even if I want to buy it, I''m afraid I''ll have to wait two or three years. This is a plane borrowed by my business partner temporarily. It''s busy during the Christmas season." , business travel is inconvenient, and there is no need to waste so much time with a private jet."


    "Your business partner must be very capable." Wang Wei, who rarely spoke, said, "Is this a high-profile challenger?"


    "Challenger 850." An Feng said.


    Wang Wei understood, and said: "A friend of mine in China has also ordered one, and the price is more than 200 million after paying the tax."


    An Feng nodded: "It is indeed more expensive to buy domestically than abroad, and it is not convenient to travel."


    Wang Wei smiled wryly: "It''s not only inconvenient, it''s really hard to move! Domestic airspace is not like the United States, and there are not so many airports. Every time you start, you have to submit a flight plan in advance, and you may not be approved. More often than not, you park at At the airport, it costs tens of thousands of dollars a day for nothing.��


    Anfeng has also understood this point since he had the intention to buy a plane. There are about 200 domestic airports, while the United States has more than 20,000, and private airports account for more than 85%. Correspondingly, the number of private jets in China Only a thousand, while the United States has 300,000. So playing with airplanes is very difficult in China and subject to a lot of controls, but it is a paradise in the United States��there was also the scene of a plane crashing into a building.


    Wang Le looked at the luxurious decoration of the plane enviously: "I really despise you boy, maybe I can order a business jet in a few years. It''s fun. Even if we have the money to buy it, before the policy is not opened, we will follow it. It��s like a tin toy in your hand, you can only watch but not play with it!��


    An Feng said with a smile: "Relax, don''t just think about how happy you are to play airplanes here, you should think about the evil capitalist society with so high taxes, shootings happen every now and then, the United States is heavily in debt, and the financial crisis will come again at any time... When you think about this, your mind will be much more balanced.��


    "Damn it!"


    An Feng was unanimously despised by everyone.


    ======


    This is the first time for at least two updates, keep asking for votes!

 Chapter 71： wild game

    Chapter 71 Game


    After the parked Guli returned, the gangway was closed, and the two pilots got permission from the traffic control office, the stewardess told them to fasten their seat belts. The plane accelerated on the runway, taxied, and took off... After reaching a certain altitude, the stewardess served them snacks , everyone eats, drinks and chats.


    Most of the time, An Feng was talking with three domestic friends. Catilina and Guli��s English is not like the American pronunciation they learned in class in China. The English spoken with Spanish and Russian accents is very different, and only An Feng is like this. Only a guy with an open mind can communicate without hindrance.


    After chatting about the plane, Wang Le expressed his attitude: "This time my brother is here to discuss business, and I am here to travel and have a local Christmas."


    Wang Wei said innocently: "I didn''t say that I would bring your sister-in-law to discuss business for a week, okay?"


    Tang Feifei smiled, hugged Wang Wei''s arm and whispered, "You''re smart!"


    An Feng had a brief chat with Wang Wei, and it turned out that he was the successor of the company cultivated by the family. Although Wang Wei has a strict style of work, he speaks from all sides, and it is easy to get along with others. This is the template of an excellent businessman. He talks nonsense when he sees people and talks nonsense, and he can mix it up on any occasion.


    It''s a pity that the harmonious relationship is maintained at the level of interests, and they can only become ordinary friends and cannot be friends like Wang Le. An Feng also showed his attitude, if he wanted to talk about business, he would talk to him seriously. Later, I learned that Wang Wei was not in a hurry to consider a branch company, and first obtained the agency right to try sales in China.


    Wang Wei said: "In fact, the procedures for opening a branch in China are a bit troublesome. If you first authorize the domestic agent and the market responds well, then consider the next step. Whether it is a branch or an exclusive agent in the mainland, it is stable and the loss is small. Excellent choice. Do you think this idea is suitable?"


    Chatting with Wang Wei, a serious businessman, An Feng realized that his previous ideas were too casual. As the saying goes, he was impetuous and not stable enough. There are market and policy environments.


    "I''ll have to think it over."


    What Wang Wei said made sense, but An Feng didn''t give an answer immediately. He knew that he was not suitable for business, so it was best to find an opportunity to talk to John and ask him to provide reference. Afterwards, Wang Le told An Feng that his brother thought that An Feng''s performance was in line with the prudence a businessman should have.


    The short journey ended soon, and the plane landed at Paso Robles Airport. The family drove a four-door pickup to pick them up and return to a quiet and peaceful vineyard area. An Feng heard Tang Feifei say to Wang Wei in the car: "Don''t talk about business all day, this time I''m here for vacation."


    Wang Wei hesitated to speak, but finally suppressed his unfinished thoughts to the bottom of his heart.


    An Feng and Wang Le looked at each other and smiled. Wang Le said: "Don''t mind, my brother is a workaholic. I suspect that he suffers from work obsessive-compulsive disorder. He can''t sleep if he doesn''t talk about business all day. I have to give him a calculator to press the numbers to satisfy the absurd thoughts in his head." Only when you think about it can you sleep peacefully!"


    ��


    There were many business questions, An Feng took the time to call John and asked him to give him some advice.


    John told him: "Trial sale is a good way to test the market. If the popularity is high, the branch is the easiest to maximize the benefits, followed by the exclusive agency, but part of the bonus is in the hands of others, and the subsidiary also The same, it is related to the issue of who holds the controlling stake."


    John''s answer was concise and clear from the perspective of An Feng''s interests. After An Feng had his own ideas, he became more targeted when dealing with Wang Wei... In the next few days, An Feng even arranged for a helicopter to send Wang Wei and Tang Feifei to Los Angeles for shopping. As for Wang Le, in some respects he is as lazy as An Feng, as soon as he sat down at the table, the two brothers were ready to toast and brag until dawn.


    Americans have a lot of Christmas activities. Joanna��s family plans to travel to Europe. Many Americans choose to travel during the Christmas holiday, especially rich families with no financial pressure. Catilina, on the other hand, has to go home before the holidays. Christmas is also a day of reunion for Westerners. She wants to go back to Colombia to see her parents and brothers.


    On the way to send her to the airport, An Feng asked, "Is Christmas in the countries in the southern hemisphere summer?"


    Catilina smiled and nodded: "Of course, I went back wearing a short skirt and a shirt."


    An Feng felt that the rhythm was out of order, so he sent her to the airport and slipped a check into her pocket.


    "Transfer check?" Katilina took it out and looked at it suspiciously. It was an integer of 30,000 dollars.


    An Feng said: "There is a saying in China about giving New Year''s gifts. I don''t know what you like. This is my New Year''s gift to you. Go back and have fun."


    "Well, I will miss you." Katilina stepped forward to hug him, just like other separated couples, they hugged and kissed goodbye.


    After returning to the vineyard, An Feng brought Pipi and Dandan to the racecourse for activities. They have already grown into adult dogs. Recently, due to busy work, their training has been a little slack. The habits of the dogs should be developed as soon as possible. After your busy period of time is over, take them to the hunting ground for training.


    There are quite a lot of people in the racecourse, and there is nothing to do in the vineyard recently, and the workers who stayed for the holidays are also idle. It happened that Howard, the cowboy, was teaching Tang Feifei how to ride a horse. She was riding a horse for the first time. Wang Wei cheered for his sister-in-law (wife).


    An Feng also gave her a lot of applause.


    In the afternoon, Henry came to visit, and greeted An Feng from a distance: "Hey, Bruce, are you going to cut the Christmas tree?"


    Wang Le turned around: "Cut down a Christmas tree?"


    An Feng glanced at Wang Le, then turned to Henry and said, "Okay, now?"


    "Of course, as long as you have time!" Henry said.


    "Okay, wait for me for a few minutes." An Feng greeted Wang Le, who was eager to try, drove out the pickup, brought a gasoline saw, and followed Henry to the outskirts of the city.


    Paso Robles is located in the east where there are many flat lands, but in the west there are mountains. Except for some vineyards, there are a lot of pine trees, both planted and wild, and the common radiata pine is the main one. Followed behind Henry, who was familiar with the road, to the west mountain forest area.


    The two guys of Pipidandan stretched their heads to look at the scenery outside the window, obviously very curious about the forest environment. The pickup truck staggered along a dirt road, and came to an open space full of wheel marks. Henry, dressed in a cowboy outfit, got out of the car and said to them, "This is it. It seems that a lot of people have come recently."


    An Feng took off the gasoline saw, his goal was to find a pine tree of the right size, not too big, just as tall as him.


    "Come here, I found it!" Henry''s voice came.


    They followed to see a few tall and straight pine trees, which were very nice. When An Feng was about to pull the chainsaw to work, he heard the roar of a hound behind him.


    The three of them turned their heads at the same time, and found that the two black spaniels who had been following just now were chasing in one direction. The division of labor is not bad, one chases behind and the other outflanks.


    They hurriedly followed to see, but the hunting dogs were too fast to see clearly, and the prey also jumped and turned sharply in the middle. Eggy caught up sideways, jumped up and took a bite, then fell to the ground with a low growl.


    "It''s a rabbit!" said Henry.


    An Feng stepped across the grass and came in front of two particularly excited black dogs. He was right. Eggy had a big fat gray rabbit in his mouth. Dead, Pippi bent his forelegs, staring at it vigilantly, like a qualified hunting dog.


    "Smart!" An Feng squatted down and touched the heads of the two dogs, then grabbed the ears of the big fat rabbit and lifted it up. The weight was at least five or six catties.


    "Amazing!" Wang Le also looked curiously at the struggling rabbit.


    There are a lot of wild animals in the United States, especially rabbits and squirrels. I am afraid that the number is not enough to describe it completely. It should be that wild animals have already flooded. Because Americans don''t like to hunt small animals, they don''t have a good time either. Without natural enemies, wild animals grow wildly.


    "Plucking hairs on skewers must be very refreshing!" An Feng said.


    "I''m drooling just thinking about it." Wang Le swallowed his saliva.


    Henry was curious: "What are you talking about?"


    Wang Le just wanted to answer in English, but An Feng stopped him: "Don''t say it, Americans don''t eat rabbits, there seems to be some taboo!"


    Wang Le shut up, An Feng said with a smile: "We plan to take it back to recuperate."


    Wang Le nodded: "Yes, look how pitiful it is."


    It''s so pitiful, it''s about to become delicious.


    Henry looked at the expressions of the two of them, and suddenly discovered the New World: "I know! I know! You are Chinese, you are going to bake it, right?"


    "What a crazy idea! God, who would do such a cruel thing?" An Feng said in surprise.


    Henry knew when he saw his sophistry: "Don''t worry, I won''t mind if you do this. When I was in Southern California, I heard that you Chinese are very good at eating, such as snakes, birds, rabbits, etc. Delicious, I''m just curious to see how you make it and how it tastes?"


    An Feng and Wang Le looked at each other, and said to Henry: "OK, come tonight as a guest!"


    When it comes to roasted rabbit meat, An Feng is not even in the mood to cut down a Christmas tree. He hastily sawed two small pine trees, let the two dogs out for a walk, and listened to the barking of dogs, Pi Pi flauntingly held a A dying rabbit ran back, and the weight was no smaller than the one in his hand.


    Wang Le is envious: "There are so many rabbits in the United States!"


    There are not so many taboos from China. After returning home, a few men gather together to pluck and peel the hair of the two rabbits, cut off their heads and dig out the internal organs. After washing, add salt, light soy sauce, pepper, shredded **** and other materials After marinating for two hours, brush it with sesame oil, put it in a baking tray, put it in the oven, brush the oil every 20 minutes, a scent wafts in the kitchen, my stomach has been growling, staring at the oven All of them were starving faces.


    An Feng sighed: "It''s not easy to eat wild game once."


    Wang Le despised: "There are a lot of rabbits in front of our house. If you don''t pretend to be aggressive, we will still be good friends!"


    An Feng laughed.


    After about 40 to 50 minutes, I took out the baking tray, and the two rabbits inside had been baked to a beautiful golden brown, and the aroma was tangy. Needless to say, the knives and forks were put together, each took a large piece on the plate, and took a bite It is crisp and tender, and the oil juice overflows the mouth, which is endless aftertaste.


    Under their instigation, Henry also tasted a few pieces of rabbit meat, and after eating it, he was naturally full of praise: "It''s so delicious, I didn''t expect this cute thing to be so delicious!"


    Several compatriots looked at each other and laughed.

 Chapter 72： arrival

    Chapter 72 arrives


    A few days later.


    The agency agreement with Wang Wei was finally settled before Christmas Eve. This was actually thanks to John''s hard work overtime. An Feng is not good at talking about these things. His best thing is to sign his name on the contract. To put it bluntly, he likes Pass your troubles on to others.


    But John didn''t waste his efforts. After the deal was concluded, he got a check for $10,000 as a Christmas present. An Feng is very interesting. As long as you really put in the effort and work hard, the rewards will be very impressive.


    John really felt that he had found the right boss. For American companies generally do not like to give out year-end bonuses, or the year-end bonuses are only at the level of two or three thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars is equivalent to an ordinary employee who does not eat or drink for three months. Let a family spend a long vacation in comfort.


    About how to celebrate Christmas, An Feng consulted the people around him. Native Americans like Old John still prefer Christmas. They usually roast a turkey like Thanksgiving. If there are many people, they will roast a suckling pig. There is an apple in the pig''s mouth... When An Feng heard this, he gave the money and asked Old John to take care of it.


    Of course, there are some people who are not interested in American Christmas. For example, Gu Li, when An Feng asked him how he planned to pass the time, he replied blankly: "I believe in the Orthodox Church, but Christmas on the 25th is something Catholics do. Every year on January 7th is Christmas in Russia.��


    An Feng also learned afterwards that because the United States is a huge immigrant country with great cultural differences, Christmas is only a concept of some people. There are examples of avoiding Catholic Christmas because of religious issues: Jews in the United States do not want to celebrate I went to an Asian country for vacation to stay away from that atmosphere.


    Because people with different religions and cultures avoid festivals and maintain their own characteristics, there are not many Americans. On the contrary, there are some over-enthusiasms in the country. It��s okay to celebrate Christmas, because there are Christians in the country, but the most puzzling thing is American Thanksgiving. Some people Blindly follow the trend, give thanks to parents and friends on Thanksgiving for this and that...


    An Feng and his compatriots in China had a traditional American Christmas. The whole process was organized by Old John, and all his employees who were still staying behind participated. Because they were far away from home, single or for other reasons, they all got together on Christmas Eve and had a meal. Christmas dinner, everyone gathered together to taste wine and chat.


    The traditional taste is very strong, it feels like the Chinese New Year, but there are no crackling firecrackers. Joanna had a wonderful life. She sent An Feng a bunch of photos of skiing in Switzerland, which made him very envious. Unfortunately, it was quite troublesome for him to travel to Europe and needed a visa.


    This is one of the differences between an American green card and an American passport. An Feng holds a green card, but is still a Chinese citizen. There are only about 40 countries that grant visa-free visa-on-arrival, only in Asia, and I may not have heard of it. Don��t even think about tourist destinations in developed countries in Europe and the United States. The American passport is much more powerful. It has visa-free and visa-on-arrival visas for more than 150 countries. Basically, European and American tourists only need to bring their passports and buy air tickets.


    In the final analysis, it is still a matter of international influence and strength. In this regard, the country still needs to work hard. It is useless to boast. When will there be 150 or 60 visa-free visas on arrival for Chinese passports, and visas will no longer be considered when traveling abroad. But when it comes to air ticket prices, that is probably the real return of strength.


    ��


    After Christmas, Wang Le and the others returned to the country. The contract to authorize the domestic agency has been signed with Tailan. They will send technicians and samples of agricultural fertilizers that have been authorized for export. It will take about half a year for the specific market to respond��at least give the crops a period of time to grow. Bar?


    Saying goodbye to them at the airport, Wang Le warned: "Remember that when your GP company invests more next time, you must notify me in advance!"


    "Got it!" An Feng said with a smile, Wang Le was having a good time these days, the only thing he was upset about was that he failed to get a share in GP company.


    "Definitely!" Wang Le said solemnly. For some reason, he just had a premonition that his low-key best friend might soar into the sky because of these technologies.


    "It''s really annoying!" An Feng pushed him, "Get lost, brother has to go back to catch up on sleep!"


    Wang Le and the others left, and An Feng''s life became peaceful for a while. There are many, many things, but he just doesn''t want to do them. He always wants to find a group of people to run errands for him, but he doesn''t feel at ease to let go... The only result of entanglement is to lie in bed, sleep late, and waste his brain in his dreams.


    A few days later, my sister called and said they were going to come for vacation. Looking at the calendar, this year''s Spring Festival is at the end of January, and the school holiday is naturally on New Year''s Eve.


    One morning, An Feng rode Philip for a lap, and had a "horse race" with another neighbor, Harvey, a child of the Landau family.


    Harvey and Xiaoyu are about the same age, six or seven years old. They wear shirts, jeans, and cowboy hats. They also have their own small horse��a miniature horse with a height of 60 to 70 centimeters. It is black with some white hair. It looks very cute cute. It is said that it is a miniature horse produced in Australia. It has a docile temperament and is very smart.


    Seeing An Feng was very curious. Harvey��s father Andrew said: ��The miniature horse is easy to raise, not picky eaters and docile. It can also be ridden. It is easier to raise than a dog.��


    An Feng touched the cute little pony that had just reached his own thigh: "It feels like a hobbit''s mount, so cute! How much did it cost?"


    Andrew said with a smile: "Miniature horses range from three thousand dollars to ten thousand dollars, and this horse cost three thousand five hundred dollars."


    Changed to .RMB, it��s only more than 10,000 points, which is quite affordable, but it��s also a pet that only rich people can afford. Thinking that Xiaoyu is coming over soon, should I buy one for her to play with? He asked Andrew where it was sold. There are many places, and because of its small size, delivery is very convenient.


    Since the last visa had not been more than half a year old, it was easy to renew the visa. My parents and my sister��s family flew over again. This time, I was familiar with the road and flew directly to SLO Airport, and there was no need to take a car. An Feng led them directly to the VIP Passage into the airport, came to the front of the helicopter.


    Needless to say, the family members were surprised, and the parents also said not to spend money recklessly. An Feng patiently explained: "I don''t want to show off, this is for the convenience of business negotiations. I often fly to San Francisco and Los Angeles. I can''t Drive for hours, or wait for a long flight?"


    This explanation finally blocked their mouths. An Feng invited them to the cabin, Xiaoyu was very happy, and asked her uncle to carry her up, and asked her to sit in the best seat. The cabin can accommodate up to five people, An Feng reminded them to fasten their seat belts, and then went into the cockpit by himself.


    This actually has some elements of violation, but the plane is not like a car, the police can stop it at any time for inspection, how do you stop it in the air?


    In addition, An Feng''s ability to comprehend is good. Except that he has not obtained a private pilot''s license, Fred is very relieved that he is sitting in the driver''s seat, not to mention that Fred is the chief pilot of the plane, and An Feng is just a deputy. unimportant. The plane took off, returned to the vineyard, and landed on the lawn in Anfeng''s front yard 20 minutes later. The world was in place in one step, and there was no need to wait tediously. Anfeng was very satisfied in this regard.


    Everyone looked at the helicopter flying far above their heads, and didn''t come back to their senses for a long time.


    Mom said to Dad: "Did we really come here by helicopter just now?"


    An Feng was speechless: "Could it still be by bullock cart?"


    "You''re just poor!" My sister scolded with a smile, "It''s our first time to take a helicopter. It feels a little different from civil aviation. It''s normal to be slow."


    An Feng smiled. He was just as excited as them when he was riding a helicopter for the first time, and his hands were shaking a little when he was sitting in the driver''s seat for the first time.


    Xiaoyu took his hand and looked up cutely: "Uncle, I still want to take a plane and see so many places!"


    An Feng touched her head: "If I have time in the future, I will take you to the forest to see small animals, how about flying to the sea to see dolphins?"


    I don��t know if there is any, anyway, An Feng will make it up if he can, but the incentive effect is very good, and the little girl is very obedient because of this wish.

 Chapter 73： The little pony [the third update]

    Chapter 73 Little Pony ��Third update��


    As soon as my parents arrived, An Feng��s good days came again. After thinking about it, I still felt that Chinese food was suitable for me. As a result, I walked around empty-handed like a ghost every day, and I remembered to go home for dinner at that time. My sister said that he has lost all other memories, and the only thing he remembers is the life of three meals on time and constant snacks.


    Choose a sunny and mild afternoon, put a few cloths on the lawn, have a picnic with a basket and a plate, and listen to the chatting and laughing of the big guys...


    "It''s good for Americans to have a holiday, so I can relax too." An Feng lay on the grass, biting the grass root in his mouth, and looked at the two squirrels wandering on the lawn in front of him.


    "You said that you seem to have a lot of things." My sister rolled her eyes at him, and they understood in the past few days, and they could only believe half of An Feng''s words. He said he was busy, maybe he was really busy, because occasionally there would be a bunch of things suddenly, I heard that he was still in Los Angeles in the morning, and went to Texas in the afternoon; The question of getting up and taking a shower first...hesitating for an hour.


    "Look, Mom!" The little girl pointed forward, and two little gray and yellow squirrels came towards them, perhaps smelling the food.


    An Feng glanced at it, and commented: "I don''t store food well in winter, and I only thought of looking for food when I was about to starve to death. Xiaoyu, don''t learn from them."


    The little girl came over and shook his leg: "Uncle, can I feed them?"


    My sister glanced at Xiaoyu, and just about to say something, An Feng nodded: "Go, tear some bread crumbs for them, it doesn''t take much."


    "Is this okay?" My sister was a little worried.


    An Feng said with a smile: "Don''t be afraid, small animals in the United States are not afraid of people at all. It''s okay to touch it, unless you deliberately scare it. I heard that whenever there is a food shortage, this squirrel will ask humans for help, and people are willing to help They. Some of the pines are too clever to come and steal from your kitchen."


    "Look, the little guy is here!" The brother-in-law who was lying on his stomach looked up, Xiaoyu used a little bread crumbs to successfully lure the two small pine trees over.


    These two little guys are really not afraid of people at all. Their big tails are raised, and they look up to sniff. The little black eyes are staring at them expectantly, as if they are asking Xiaoyu to give them something to eat. This cuteness is not only for children, even adults can''t resist. Xiaoyu grabbed the biscuits in her hand and handed them over.


    The little squirrel stood up, caught the biscuit with its two front paws, shrunk in front of its mouth, and took small bites, accompanied by crisp chewing sounds, which pleased Xiaoyu for a while, so he gave a few more biscuits. The goal of being cute was achieved, and he ran away with the biscuit, and sat under the tree in the distance to enjoy it.


    "Mom." Xiaoyu looked back at her mother pitifully, "They''re gone."


    But mother doesn��t have the skills to bring back little squirrels, so the most powerful uncle has become her target: ��Uncle, little squirrels like you so much, can you let them come here?��


    An Feng was speechless, the little squirrel likes me? Do you know what happened to Little Squirrel''s good friend, Little Bunny? He said helplessly: "Okay, I will teach you a way."


    Xiaoyu listened carefully.


    "Look at its little belly, it doesn''t look full, you can just give them a little next time you come here, they don''t have to run back and forth to worry about grabbing food, understand?"


    The little girl understood a little, and sat down to watch the two ungrateful squirrels finish eating the biscuits. As expected, they were not full, and ran over calmly, continuing the cute trick just now. Xiaoyu was smart this time, and only gave some of the cracked biscuits, and then the little squirrels kept begging for food around her.


    My sister quietly picked up the camera and took pictures of two gluttonous squirrels. You don��t understand the world of foodies. They thought the camera was delicious, so they leaned forward, as if they wanted to take a bite. An Feng took an apple from the basket, wiped it on his clothes, took a bite, and spat out the peel to one of the squirrels.


    It picked up the peel, didn''t eat all of it, but smacked its lips to eat the juice, and then threw the peel in front of An Feng. My sister took this scene and shared it with others with a smile: "Look at his hurt look!"


    Everyone burst into laughter, An Feng curled his lips and ignored them, his phone vibrated a few times, he picked it up to answer: "Hi, I''m Bruce."


    After talking a few words, An Feng got up and said to the others: "Go ahead, I''ll go get something. It''s Xiaoyu''s New Year''s gift!"


    An Feng got on his motorcycle and went down the mountain. Ten minutes later, he called his sister. An Feng said on the other side: "You guys take Xiaoyu down, it''s over here at the stables."


    They packed up their things and went down with doubts. When they arrived, there was a pickup truck dragging the cargo box and leaving. Looking at An Feng again, there is a miniature horse in front of him, squatting on the ground to play with it. Xiaoyu saw it, and immediately broke away from her mother''s hand, and ran over excitedly: "So cute!"


    Sister and brother-in-law are also surprised, Xiaoyu here has touched the pony, and they also gathered around to watch, brother-in-law said: "Is this a pony?"


    "Australian miniature horse." An Feng smiled and combed the miniature horse''s mane. This guy has a fluffy body and short legs. He is so simple and cute.


    The father who was riding a horse in the distance also came over and saw this miniature horse with a little stage fright. He was surprised and said: "I have heard it many times at home, but I didn''t expect that there is such a small horse in reality. It is better than a puppy." It��s not much higher. Hey, are you using a newborn pony to deceive people?��


    An Feng smiled and said, "Dad, your imagination is really rich."


    They all looked around the miniature horse, chattering a lot, and two black dogs wandering in the distance also ran over. Pipi and Dandan were considered large dogs, sixty centimeters tall, and stood next to the miniature horse. They all look about the same size, except the pony is a little fatter.


    The adults are just curious about having such a small horse, but Xiaoyu likes it very much. She pets the pony here and there, but the pony doesn''t have any fear of her. Maybe it''s because she thinks that the size is not very threatening. , One person and one horse quickly became familiar.


    "Uncle, can I ride it?" Xiaoyu raised her head and asked while stroking the pony.


    An Feng nodded: "Yes, here is a set of saddles for miniature horses. After I teach you how to use them, you can ride them on its back soon."


    "Uncle, can I feed it carrots?" Xiaoyu asked again.


    "Okay, let''s feed it tomorrow, it is full today." An Feng said.


    But my sister has some opinions: "Such a pampering child will make her develop bad habits."


    My sister''s educational philosophy is good, An Feng smiled and scratched his head: "I bought it anyway, and I will treat it as a New Year''s gift. There is nothing wrong with making the child happy. At worst, this horse will be taken care of by the little girl. While being happy, I also know how to be responsible.��


    "Well, let''s deal with it like this." My sister agreed.


    After teaching Xiaoyu how to saddle the little pony, she quickly rode on the little guy''s back. Although the miniature horse is small in size, it has a lot of stamina and can reach a top speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour. For the sake of caution, An Feng She was required to wear a helmet when riding a horse, or she would fall off suddenly, and some would cry.


    Xiaoyu couldn''t get enough of her fun, the next day her sister woke her up early, the little girl was quite unhappy at first, An Feng said to her personally: "From now on, it will be your mount, if you don''t take care of it, If you don��t bathe it and eat it, it will stink and starve to death, don��t think about uncle buying it for you next time.��


    When the little girl heard how it would work, she quickly got up, put on a small denim outfit, and followed An Feng to the stable with a small bucket and a small shovel. The two guys, one big and one small, got busy. An Feng took care of Philip, while the little girl took care of her pony. It took a whole hour, clumsy and sweaty, but it was worth it, at least Let Xiaoyu understand that there is no such thing as enjoying and giving.


    "You have to do this every other day from now on, understand?" An Feng knelt down and said to her, "Look, wash it clean, how much it likes you."


    "Yes. I will definitely." The little girl assured the pony''s fur.


    An Feng looked back at the guys who were watching outside, and smiled complacently. Educating children requires a flexible approach, not just tough indoctrination.


    =======


    At least the second time of the two times, the integrity is full. . .


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 74： Cant explain clearly

    Chapter 74 is unclear


    Every morning, the most common thing is that three people, one old, one young, and one young, get up early in the morning, carrying iron buckets and shovels into the stables to work. An Feng and his father took care of the big horse, while Xiaoyu took care of the pony. It was a bit tiring, but when it became a habit, it turned into a kind of fun.


    Later, the team expanded to four people, and Joanna, who returned from vacation, also joined their camp. Since Joanna can speak a lot of Chinese, the communication between Joanna and An Feng''s family is very harmonious. Although she comes from an extraordinary background, she does not have the bad temper of a rich lady. She does dirty work such as shoveling horse manure and washing horses quickly, no less than a few big men . Also because she also rode a pony when she was a child, she and Xiaoyu have a lot in common.


    Of course, some habits cultivated since she was a child still make her look different, and she is a bit unattainable in terms of aristocratic etiquette, but this does not prevent her parents from praising Joanna. This is probably the only thing that gives An Feng a headache in the good life, who told him that he is single.


    No, after dinner, everyone was sitting in the living room, chattering and talking about the girl this afternoon, and my mother was nagging: "Old man, look at how good Miss Qiao is, she can do everything, she can get on." There is a kitchen under the hall, although you are a foreigner, how can there be anything perfect?"


    Dad smiled and nodded: "Xiao Qiao is very good."


    Xiaoyu also spoke: "I like sister Xiao Qiao the most, she smells so good."


    An Feng glared at her, the little traitor: "Didn''t you say that your favorite is uncle?"


    The little girl hid in her mother''s arms and made faces: "Uncle stinks!"


    An Feng laughed: "I won''t let you fly the day after tomorrow."


    "Uncle is the best!" The little girl was unwilling.


    My sister laughed and said, "But I also think that my brother and Joanna are a good match."


    An Feng burst into tears: "Don''t play the piano indiscriminately! She and I are just ordinary friends. It''s fine to joke around at home, but don''t talk nonsense outside, it will embarrass the girls! And , do you know how much older I am than her?"


    My mother said disdainfully: "What''s the problem with age? It''s not that you are more than ten years older. Now you see those celebrities on TV. Aren''t they all in their fifties or sixties and dare to marry wives in their twenties?"


    Family cheered him on, but this time An Feng was suffering and couldn��t tell. Fortunately, his phone rang, and he took the excuse of answering the phone and escaped.


    "Oh, Catilina?" An Feng spoke Spanish to avoid having ears on the wall.


    "Guess where I am now?" Katerina''s voice came.


    "LA?" An Feng guessed.


    "Wrong!" Katilina said, "I will grant you a wish if you guess correctly."


    "Colombia?" An Feng said.


    "Wrong! Last chance."


    "Could it be SLO?" An Feng said.


    "That''s right!" Katilina said with a smile, "How about it, isn''t it a surprise? I just walked out of the airport. It''s dark and there''s not a single car on the road."


    "I''ll pick you up?"


    "Why do you use a questioning tone?" Katilina said, "Do you have several women in your family? But I don''t mind, I miss you so much! I want it now!"


    This is a little more serious than having a few women. An Feng had a headache, he just said that he didn''t have a girlfriend, how would he explain that one would fly in later. He explained: "There are no other women, only my parents and relatives, and I told them that I am single now."


    Katirina: "Then what should I do, there are no cars now, do you want me to take a stranger''s car home, in case he wants to do something to me?"


    An Feng cried: "Okay, I''ll pick you up."


    An Feng took the car keys and went out quietly. When he passed the living room, his sharp-eyed mother asked, "Where are you going?"


    "Go pee." After An Feng finished speaking, he disappeared outside the door. He drove the Ford F150 out. There were few cars at night, and it only took more than 30 minutes to arrive at SLO Airport.


    Still dressed in a **** fashion, Katilina in a tight skirt threw her luggage in the back seat, and as soon as she turned around, she put her arms around An Feng''s neck and kissed An Feng passionately.


    It''s been almost ten days since they separated, and An Feng also missed this kind of passion, so he hugged her for a long time, until the passing cars saluted at a slow speed, An Feng let go of Kadilina, got in the car and returned. On the way back, An Feng thought about the reason...why did he feel like a dick?


    "What are you thinking?" Katilina looked sideways at him.


    "Missing you." An Feng replied casually.


    "Then let''s come by the side of the road?" Katilina clamped her thighs and twisted her body.


    "Damn!" An Feng pulled over and stopped, in order not to cause a car accident due to distraction later, they fought unscrupulously regardless of the occasion. The pickup has ample space, especially after the seats are folded down, the ride is endless. There is a saying that a long separation is better than a newly-married one, and it takes a long time to extinguish the enthusiasm.


    Catilina wiped her mouth while An Feng drove. Katilina wanted to kiss his face, An Feng: "NO!"


    Katirina finally kissed.


    "Lick it off!" An Feng ordered.


    "Humph," Katrina complied.


    When they got home around eleven o''clock, the car stopped, and An Feng, who was holding the steering wheel, said, "It''s too late, let''s go back quietly, what do you think?"


    Catilina agreed. To be honest, after some release, her mind gradually cleared up, and it was embarrassing to think about it.


    An Feng took Katilina''s luggage and held her hand. The two guys crept around to the backyard like thieves. Pipidandan, who was asleep, got up with two dogs with a keen sense of smell. Barked, An Feng hissed, the dog smelled the familiar scent of its owner, and immediately came over, wagging its tail and sticking out its tongue.


    "Good dog, go back to sleep, don''t bark!" An Feng said in a low voice.


    The two black dogs were very well-behaved, they didn''t bark, but kept walking around them. Returning to the bedroom without any risk, the two of them were very tired, so they took off their clothes, lay down on the bed, and slept until the next morning. As a result, when Xiaoyu came to knock on the door, the one who opened the door was Katilina who had just come out of the bathroom and was only wrapped in a towel that made people nosebleed.


    "Uncle��" As soon as the door opened, the little cowboy rushed in. What he saw was a pair of long white legs, and he was stunned when he looked up, "Who are you? Where is my uncle?"


    Catilina couldn''t understand Chinese, she turned her head, and An Feng got up when he heard the voice, seeing this scene, hehe.


    The work of feeding the horses in the morning is temporarily on the cowboy Howard, and the family is gathered together. Katilina is wearing a more formal skirt, but she is still hot and hot, unless she is wrapped in a big cotton jacket that is only worn in northern winter. The effect can''t help but make other women jealous.


    Everyone quietly looked at Katilina, An Feng bit the bullet and explained that my mother would inevitably ask some of the most common questions, how old is she, how many people are in the family, and what job do she do... As a result, she asked the translator again, and the decision was entirely in An Feng''s hands , because Catalina speaks Spanish.


    It was really troublesome to meet and communicate, and finally my mother said: "Okay, you can do whatever you want, at least as long as you like it."


    Although she is not as satisfied as Joanna, my mother''s purpose is very simple, just find a wife who can give birth to the bachelor An Feng.


    An Feng still can''t explain what *** is.


    Later, Katilina lived in a fair and honest manner. Unlike Joanna, she didn''t have so many outdoor hobbies except running, but she got along well with her sister. Women, clothes, bags and jewelry, as long as they are Those who have a surplus in life will find ways to meet their spiritual needs.


    A few days later, Katilina wanted to go to Las Vegas. The last art blockbuster had already been released, and it was released on Christmas Eve. The effect was so good that it was beyond expectations. None of them prepared so much printing volume for SC. The person in charge, Stuart, warmly invited Katilina to be the fashion director.


    An Feng is a soft-hearted person who will not hinder others from chasing their dreams, so she set off with her. Her brother-in-law and sister were also those who wanted to go to the casino. As for Xiaoyu, she was not interested. She likes sister Xiao Qiao better. Fortunately, the girl can��t speak English, but it��s coming soon��she got to know Little Harvey who came to walk the horse, and Joanna��s younger brother Andy and a little girl from another family also came together. Together.


    Language barrier? I am afraid that children learn the fastest at this time. There is no need to worry about the presence of parents. The flight directly flies to Las Vegas. The business jet has already been returned. I feel embarrassed. Although Mrs. Sinclair is not in a hurry when calling to greet the New Year She asked for a plane, because she had more than one plane, and the matter of borrowing a plane was nothing to the Texas oil tycoon.

 Chapter 75： Treatment of partners

    Chapter 75 Treatment of Partners


    Flying to Las Vegas, An Feng is already familiar with the local traffic, the phone VIP service usually needs to wait, and let the phone secretary handle it, and the speed of cooperation will be faster, so he immediately called his secretary after getting off the plane , I want to book an extended car and a top-level suite.


    After connecting, it was not Lei''s voice, but another man: "Hi, Mr. An, I''m Jim."


    "Jim? Where''s Ray?" An Feng asked strangely.


    "I''m sorry, Mr. An, Lei has resigned, and I will temporarily take over his work for the past few days." Jim said.


    "Resign? Why?" An Feng wondered, he had made a bunch of messy requests to Lei a few weeks ago, and he joked with himself with a smile, so he left without saying a word? Also, the New Year''s red envelope promised to him as long as he didn''t go crazy, he didn''t have time to send it out.


    "Sir, do you have time for some explanation?"


    "Speak, I''m not in a hurry." An Feng said.


    Jim explained: "Sir, in fact, this type of occupation is very stressful, and the phone needs to be turned on 24 hours a day. Any request from customers must be responded and dealt with quickly, and the occupation requires us to not hang up the customer''s phone. The requirements for knowledge in various fields are very strict. Lei has been working in this position for six years. Although the salary is high, the pressure is also great. Considering his family, he decided to say goodbye to this profession.��


    "Oh, what a pity, bless him for me." An Feng said, although he has never seen what Ray looks like and how old he is, but An Feng has always been used to asking him for help when he doesn''t understand, and now he heard the news , as if an important friend had suddenly said goodbye forever.


    Jim said: "Thank you, Lei also said before he left, Mr. An is a very kind customer, and it is good luck for anyone to receive his order."


    An Feng smiled: "Well, I have something to trouble you now."


    This time, Jim called the hotel VIP service requested by Anfeng for him. The person who came to pick him up was a modified extended GMC. After the four people boarded the car, the white GMC drove to the local Luxor Hotel, which is in the shape of a pyramid. An Egyptian-style hotel with a replica of the Sphinx in front of it.


    The convention is top-level suites, with many rooms, everyone can live in whatever they want. An Feng walked around the interior of the pyramid, full of Egyptian features, and the casino is connected to the hotel lobby forever. But gambling is not the theme. They experienced the 3D theater in the hotel, and then enjoyed the scenery of the casino.


    In addition to shopping, the characteristics of the casino are the hotels with different shapes and styles. However, as the Spring Festival approaches, Americans actually play the Chinese card. Many hotels have "high red lanterns hanging high". Hang couplets and invite Chinese singers to perform to attract gamblers from China.


    Walking around and coming out, my brother-in-law said in surprise: "If it weren''t for a group of foreigners passing by, I really thought it was a domestic hotel celebrating the Spring Festival."


    An Feng translated her brother-in-law''s words to Catilina, she said: "In recent years, Chinese gamblers have gradually occupied the casino market in Las Vegas. In the casino, and it must be in the VIP area, and the casino is specially equipped with many waiters who can speak Chinese."


    When An Feng passed the entrance of the VIP area of ??the casino, he found that there were many Asian faces inside. As far as domestic customs are concerned, many people are superstitious about the saying that you can get lucky during the New Year. Even if they can''t speak a word of English, it can''t stop Chinese wealthy gamblers from making a pilgrimage to the casino.


    After shopping all night, everyone will act separately later. As for what to do, hehe, after all, everyone is an adult, so we have to have some fun on our own. It''s rare that I didn''t bring a tow bottle. My sister and brother-in-law went to enjoy the romantic moment. As for An Feng... was dragged by Katilina to watch **** again.


    An Feng admits that their **** styles are different.


    ��


    The next day I accompanied Katilina to discuss the contract. An Feng��s ostentation was not so big this time, but last time he was still there, and the aura was still very strong. The founder and owner of the magazine, Stuart, warmly received them and served coffee. , Pass cigarettes - this is rare, Americans generally pay attention to occasions when smoking.


    An Feng shook his head and pushed it away: "I don''t smoke."


    Stuart smiled: "Sorry, I thought Chinese people like to smoke."


    "It''s okay." An Feng picked up the Christmas special and flipped through it, while Katilina talked with Stuart.


    As far as the content and style of the magazine is concerned, although it is not as big as mainstream magazines, and the models are not top-notch, as long as you know how to use angles to show the beauty of women, you will achieve your goal. It just so happens that Katilina is pretty good at this, especially when the female model doesn''t have many clothes.


    In fact, the content is not all about women, it also talks about some fashion trends and attitudes, teaching people how to dress up, getting out of their own style, etc. Left a small note... because it is legal, it exists.


    Later, another thing was discussed: cooperation with Stewart.


    An Feng is now trying to find a way to spend the money from the loan on industries that can generate benefits. After deducting the expenses of the previous days, there are still more than 57 million US dollars left in the bank account. Of course, there are already 2,000 US dollars. Dowan has a plan, but it''s not a problem to keep the remaining 20 million yuan.


    So he invested 1.5 million US dollars to obtain 40% of the shares of SC Magazine and became the largest shareholder. Although the chance of making him a lot of money is very slim, more than 1 million is not enough for An Feng who is now well-funded. What, he has to find a way to spend more on investment.


    After the contract was drawn up, he returned to Los Angeles, and Stewart walked with his production team. In fact, there are not many shooting environments in Las Vegas. Except for unlimited indoor shooting, what everyone wants to see is not a hazy desert, but a picture of beautiful women with green trees on the beach, so part of the filming was in California.


    Catilina started her job in Los Angeles, the job of a fashion director is easy, mentoring and giving advice, 10 days a month, 20 days off, the salary keeps rolling, as long as you do a good job. Miranda, Roger''s girlfriend, works for only a few days and still receives a high salary.


    Catilina made a request to An Feng: "Lend me your bodyguard for a few days, it''s the first time to go to work, and I want those little **** to know my sister''s aura!"


    An Feng transferred Gu Li, who was idle anyway, and asked him to act as a driver to take care of Katilina''s activities in the past few days. Katilina also promised to find him a beautiful girl who fits the Russian aesthetics. There is no complaint at all that Gu Li promised, what is the moral...


    My sister and brother-in-law took the return helicopter, An Feng stayed behind, and Gu Li drove him to Roger''s work place. He was very surprised that there was something he couldn''t say on the phone, but this guy insisted on him being there, and he was very mysterious Secretly, get off the car and meet Roger in the VIP reception area last time.


    "Hey, buddy, there''s good news!" Roger said when they met.


    An Feng sat down on the sofa and said, "What is more important than me picking up girls?"


    "It''s much more important. If you have this, the success rate of picking up girls will be doubled in the future." Roger threw his black gold card to An Feng, "Look at this style, do you like it?"


    An Feng took the credit card, stared blankly, and then looked at him: "You mean I was invited?"


    Roger said as a matter of course: "Don''t you look at your consumption last year, which added up to more than 40 million. If you say such a fierce customer, will we let us go?"


    "It''s really good news!" An Feng looked at the Centurion Card with Roger''s name on it. He had heard a lot about top-tier credit cards, unlimited overdrafts, and exaggerated claims about turning around planes and stopping trains. , I don��t know if it��s true, but there must be a lot of high-end treatment.


    Roger laughed: "Who made us still partners? The young man favored by Mrs. Sinclair will definitely have a bright future."


    "The treatment of this partner is really good." An Feng said.


    "Haha, well, come over and have a look, there will be some personalized embossed areas on the credit card, do you want your own name or something else?"


    "The name is Feng-An, how about it?"


    "It depends on your preference, have you confirmed Feng-An?"


    "OK."


    Roger''s secretary put up the request, and then showed An Feng the computer effect. He nodded, and Roger said, "Maybe it will take a few days to make it."


    "I''m not in a hurry." An Feng was actually looking forward to it.


    "In addition, your customer level has improved. This is my special care. Others are not so fast. You can have the high-end private customization we provide, including dedicated lawyers, telephone secretaries, financial advisors, etc. You only need to One phone call, 24-hour global service."


    Talking about private customization, An Feng suddenly thought that his secretary had resigned. He asked, "You mean I can choose a batch of customized services that are exclusive to me?"


    "Of course." Roger was not surprised at all.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 76： Private custom

    Chapter 76 Personal Customization


    After his secretary resigned, An Feng wanted to find one in person. He spent a lot of time sitting in front of the computer researching, and there were quite a lot of options. I heard from Roger that although this industry is very small, the customers are all wealthy groups, so the profits are very high, and imitators emerge in endlessly.


    VIP customers are an important part of bringing benefits to American Express, especially black gold card customers. Some secretarial services are even provided for free. After reading the introduction, An Feng thought it was good and added it to himself. Then the focus was on the 24-hour telephone secretary, which took some patience.


    Targets can be male or female, gender doesn��t matter, it��s not about dating anyway, the key is voice and attitude. Considering that he often needs secretarial services, he wants to listen to someone with a pleasant voice and a gentle attitude. He decisively ruled out one-to-many, that is, one secretary corresponds to multiple clients. Although the service is free and he doesn''t have so many things to do, he always feels that this will make the secretary bored with his job and resign frequently...and then find it himself.


    So he wants many to one.


    Many-to-one is a high-end service, that is, one full-time and many part-time. But you need to pay to hire, otherwise, with so many black gold card customers, how big is the service headquarters of American Express? The annual fee is as high as the salary of ordinary people for several years, but the rich usually don''t consider these, choose and choose, listen to the voice and look at the tone, and finally choose the next woman.


    Roger arranged for his subordinates to handle it. Half a day later, the full-time female secretary called: "Hello, Mr. An, I am Angela, your personal secretary, and I am very happy to serve you."


    As for the sweet voice of the standard operator, An Feng gave a compliment first. He said, "Hello, Angela, you have a beautiful voice."


    "Thank you." Angela''s protracted voice tended to be cute.


    An Feng smiled: "Well, I''m very curious about your working environment, can you explain it?"


    "No problem, sir." Angela''s voice is indeed very good, pleasant and relaxing.


    An Feng leaned on the back of the chair and changed into a comfortable position to listen to her introduction. Angela said that the telephone secretary is not responsible for all the work alone. Behind her is a team dedicated to collecting information. Once there is something unclear, the team will immediately operate and she will feed the information back to the customer.


    "I am your full-time secretary. I am mainly responsible for your service during the daytime. However, it is very pitiful for Angela to be on call 24 hours in the middle of the night and abroad due to time differences. , your call will be forwarded to the part-time secretary."


    "Our backup team is huge, but the knowledge requirements for private secretaries are still very strict. Our profession requires us to answer customers'' questions as soon as possible. It is not recommended to stop and ask. So in the next period of time, Angela will be familiar with you style, please take care of it."


    An Feng said: "I believe you can do a good job, Angela, I just have something to do now, and I need you to help me find some customized services..."


    Actually, An Feng��s patience is at the end here, why did he find the secretary first? Because you can push the troubles to her.


    ��


    As expected of serving top customers, Angela''s speed and response are no less than that of Lei before. She sent the feedback information to An Feng''s mailbox, and then called An Feng, using her unique gentle voice to guide An Feng on how to operate. With her help, An Feng completed the customized content.


    Currently, the most trouble An Feng encounters is tax and legal issues. A day later, he met his own private accountant and lawyer in a coffee shop: Hardy Locke and Franklin Miller, two men in suits who were serious and unsmiling.


    Hardy is an accountant, in his early forties, usually the older the accountant, the richer the experience, and the young accountant is definitely a novice, because the senior accountant title requires more than five years of working time, or a senior accountant with a master''s degree or above. Academic qualifications, Hardy has both.


    Lawyers are similar, and it also depends on their record. In this regard, Franklin, who wears rimless glasses, has a face that is very angry with the police. The police and lawyers are definitely natural enemies. The police managed to catch the prisoner. The lawyer took advantage of the loophole to acquit the prisoner.


    "Hardy, Franklin, hello!" An Feng shook hands with them, took out the computer, and said, "Let''s deal with the contract first."


    Needless to say, as a lawyer, Franklin automatically turned on the working mode. He read quickly, glanced at ten lines, and did not blink. He found some minor problems in the proposed employment contract under his scanning, and revised it after discussing with An Feng. , and also handled the contract between An Feng and Hardy by the way.


    "After signing the contract, we will serve you full-time in the future." Franklin smiled slightly, as if the contract documents could give him infinite confidence.


    "Okay, I have one more thing. I have a question about the personal tax declaration. I have to pay a lot of personal tax. I wonder if there is a way to reduce it?" A fiscal year has passed, although the tax declaration deadline is April 15 number, but in line with the idea that he would forget it after a long time, he let the accountant handle it first.


    Hardy said confidently: "No problem, Mr. An, I will try my best to help you avoid taxes reasonably, minimize the taxes you need to pay, and even get tax refunds."


    "Is that okay?" An Feng looked at his lawyer.


    Franklin nodded: "The law only defines tax evasion, and there is no explanation for reasonable tax avoidance. Under certain circumstances that do not violate the law but do not have to abide by the rules, sir, your tax avoidance will not be pursued unless the federal or local governments issue New tax policy."


    Hardy: "In any case, professional accountants will have endless ways to deal with it."


    Franklin: "And we uphold the legality of this behavior."


    An Feng laughed, these two guys are really a good match... As the saying goes, there are policies and there are countermeasures, right?


    An Feng found some bills in the computer, Hardy found out items that could be used for deductions on the spot, and Franklin used accounting methods to check.


    Hardy said while watching: "In fact, you have many items that can be deducted, such as expenditures within the allowable amount, donation expenditures, and some property taxes."


    "How do you say?" An Feng knew six things about taxation.


    Hardy thought for a while, and made an analogy: "For example, in a fiscal year, you have an income of 10,000 US dollars, various expenditures of 5,000, donations of 1,000, and property taxes of 1,000. According to your idea, the 10,000 The U.S. dollar is regarded as taxable income and multiplied by the corresponding tax rate, but it is not like this. It can be adjusted to offset part of the expenditure, donation expenditure and property tax, and the final part is the taxable income.��


    An Feng blushed. Before Hardy said it, he really thought that the tax rate would be directly multiplied by the income. After listening to Hardy''s explanation, he found that there are quite a lot of items that he can deduct. The vineyard was bought for more than 10 million. The property tax alone is more than 100,000, right? Now it is directly deducted from the individual tax, and there is no need to pay it.


    An Feng said with a smile: "The American tax law is quite humane!"


    Hardy nodded and continued: "If you adjust properly, you may still get a tax refund."


    "Tax refund?" An Feng has heard before that the United States encourages the rich to spend. If all the money they earn is saved, a large sum will be deducted severely by the tax bureau. Therefore, the rich and the rich either use the money to invest or spend a lot of money. Spend it, I would rather spend it on myself than the grandchildren of the tax bureau.


    Hardy explained: "It''s still the simplest example. For example, a company employee''s salary is withheld 5,000 when it is paid out, but after annual calculation, the actual tax he needs to pay is only 3,000. Then after declaring the tax, the tax bureau Will return him a check for $2,000."


    An Feng thought back on his consumption after coming to the United States. Last year, his expenditure was very high, and he had almost no income. And...he looked at Hardy''s cunning look, this guy must have a way of getting around the tax bureau''s calculations.


    Franklin noticed An Feng''s eyes, and he smiled and assured: "As long as this aspect is legal, it is no problem for accountants to deduct deductions by reasonable classification."


    An Feng made a decision: "Let''s deduct it severely!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 77： the festival

    Chapter 77 Holidays


    In addition to customizing private services for himself in Los Angeles, An Feng also accompanied Katilina in her work. The progress of the filming went smoothly. An Feng visited the filming locations a few times. As a major shareholder, this is an advantage. It was a little happy to see a group of beauties who were aboveboard.


    The only shortcoming is that Katilina is a bit procrastinated. Although this is a rare opportunity for her to show her strength, she prefers to stay up late, go to bed late, and get up late to go to work. At first An Feng thought she was playing big cards, but later found out that she was just lazy. When her hobby turned into work, her interest gradually disappeared.


    An Feng couldn''t do anything about it, because the two had similar tastes, and when Katilina went to work, he went to see his two properties in Los Angeles. The research work of Mike Keith''s team was fairly stable, with a small breakthrough, but not as fast as An Feng expected. But the diet pills produced samples.


    Anfeng used to provide two types of formulations, one type of prescription drugs and one type of over-the-counter drugs, mainly for different policies and consumer needs. Both medicines have obvious effects on weight loss. Of course, the users must cooperate with the right amount of exercise. Otherwise, no matter how miraculous the medicine is, it will be useless.


    After a small amount of samples come out, the next step is to conduct animal testing, commonly known as catching mice and playing with slices.


    In terms of the production of weight-loss drugs, the review in the United States is very strict. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has vetoed the production of any weight-loss drugs for more than ten years. It is conceivable that the government��s supervision is strong. A few years later, the FDA has approved several new weight-loss drugs.


    The market for weight-loss drugs is still huge. Among them, the over-the-counter drugs he provides have almost no harm to the body, and can maintain a normal body shape after a certain amount of exercise. They are aimed at some fat men and women who love beauty, and there is no hope for super fat people. Advanced technology does not equal miracles.


    The results given by the experimental team are very exciting. The inspectors used the most stringent FDA method to test, and the hazard index in all aspects is still the lowest among the weight-loss drugs sold on the market. What Anfeng needs to consider now is which pharmaceutical company to license it for production, or to continue financing with patents.


    This is the first good news since the new year. Although it has not yet produced benefits, the pressure to repay nearly 100 million US dollars of loans has been reduced a lot. Then the second good news is Tailan Company, these workaholics are working hard, advertisements are flying all over the sky, and I heard that there are still people working overtime on Christmas Eve.


    The first order between Tailan and regional distributors was signed today, and Anfeng also attended the ceremony in formal attire. The distributor is an old customer and has cooperated with him for many years, so he is very confident in Tailan''s products, although the content of the advertisement is very impressive. It''s a bit exaggerated, but if it''s approved by the Ministry of Agriculture, it should be fine.


    The signed agreement is 50,000 US dollars, not much, but after all, it is the first customer of a new product, so it is worth celebrating. All the dealers buy are agricultural fertilizers suitable for wheat. The latitude of the United States is similar to that of China, so there is also a saying of spring wheat in the north and winter wheat in the south. Spring is coming, and dealers in many regions are starting to stock up.


    After signing the contract, An Feng listened to CEO Bray Hawke report on some company affairs in the office.


    The more Hawke talked, the more ashamed An Feng became. Only now did he know that tomatoes are planted in March and April, and then it is the turn of corn in April and soybeans in April and May. The three are the top three in agricultural production in the United States. If you tell others that he has developed high-efficiency agricultural fertilizers, but he doesn''t even understand these...


    But An Feng was very good at pretending. He skipped the details and asked: "You mean, we received more orders this year than in previous years?"


    Hawke is a little proud: "The growth rate is about 30%. Although the effect has not yet been reflected, our publicity has played a role. It''s just that the impact has both negative and positive. Negative views generally believe that we are talking nonsense and misleading consumers, while the positive ones are He has researched the product and thinks this is a rare technological breakthrough.��


    An Feng said with satisfaction: "The first step is very good!"


    Hawke smiled and said: "However, the conflict between these two viewpoints makes people curious about our products. The old customers are naturally supportive, and some new customers will also order some products out of curiosity. Go back. I think half a year from now, the looks on people''s faces will be wonderful."


    "They will." An Feng said that this kind of publicity has the same effect as hype, and the positive and negative arguments can arouse the curiosity of the masses.


    ��


    There are still a few days before the Spring Festival. Katilina finished her work as the director of the February issue. Before she packed her bags and went back, An Feng accompanied her to the Chinese consulate.


    The reason is very simple. She heard that An Feng was going back to China for a few days, so she also pestered her to go.


    Then she went to ask for a visa. Catalina is from Colombia but has American nationality. It is not too difficult to get a tourist visa in this area. After all, China has been carrying out reform and opening up, and Chinese visa officers do not have the concerns of American visa officers. People go to China to tear up their passports and disappear?


    At present, more residents of developing countries go to developed countries to tear up their passports, have they not returned? Of course, when China rises in the future, this scene will definitely happen. But as far as the current situation is concerned, this scene is very strange: after being discovered, it will definitely make headlines and successfully prevent dogs from invading the earth.


    ��


    On New Year��s Eve, everyone gathers together to make dumplings with dumpling skins bought from Chinatown. A lot of guests came to the house, and a few kids were also there. An Feng was very puzzled how Xiaoyu and the other kids solved the communication problem. He observed for a while, the little **** were playing with dumpling wrappers around the table, Xiaoyu spoke Chinese, and Andy spoke English, neither of them understood, and then gestured to each other, back and forth, and finally understood.


    Landau''s family also participated in the dumpling-making activity, while the Sassen family came except Joanna who had gone to school. Joanna''s mother, Kelly, is very skillful, and soon a small plate of results was displayed in front of everyone. She smiled and said: "My mother taught me some things before, but I haven''t done it for a long time, and I''m unfamiliar with it."


    An Feng looked at it and praised: "It''s no worse than my parents and sister''s skills."


    My sister saw it and said, "It''s really good!"


    "Look, everyone praises you!" Frank smiled and kissed Kelly''s forehead.


    "Uncle, what do you think my bag looks like?" Xiaoyu tugged at his sleeve, showing a messy dumpling in her hand.


    "This cat is so pretty." An Feng said.


    Xiaoyu pouted: "This is a little rabbit."


    "Ahaha, what a beautiful rabbit." An Feng smiled shyly.


    "Hey, look at ours." Andy, Harvey and Mia over there showed An Feng the animal dumplings in their hands not to be outdone.


    Although they couldn��t see what it was, and the dumpling stuffing leaked out, An Feng gave the children a lot of encouragement: ��Very good, so beautiful!��


    "Yeah! Let''s eat it tonight." The three furry children cheered, seeing that Xiaoyu couldn''t understand, they opened their mouths and made a gesture of eating it.


    Xiaoyu understood, and said, "Uncle, I want to eat too."


    "There will be." An Feng said with a smile.


    Everyone got together to eat dumplings on New Year''s Eve, and the little bunnies enjoyed biting the dumpling wrappers that had fallen apart. Then a sumptuous dinner was prepared according to the domestic practice. Considering that some guests were curious about the Spring Festival, An Feng''s family thought about it several days in advance and prepared this big table of Chinese food. Local specialties, dim sum, fresh soup, etc. are available in a variety of styles. One table is not enough, so we simply open it in the backyard and have a self-service New Year''s Eve party.


    We celebrated the New Year��s Eve with a western-style buffet, and everyone was free to pick up the dishes. The guests were full of praise. Although Chinese and Western food preferences are different, and Americans prefer sweet food, due to the wide variety of Chinese food and different flavors, someone will always find a favorite taste.


    The old cowboy Mark was obviously very interested in the baijiu that his father and brother-in-law drank. Under An Feng''s translation, they also poured a glass of 56-degree Red Star Erguotou for the old cowboy. As a result, Mark, who is known as the "beer king", generously poured a glass of Erguotou After eating, the whole face instantly turned red like a lantern.


    Red wine expert Frank Sassen was also interested and asked Mark, "How does it feel?"


    Mark, with a dark personality, smiled slightly and gave a thumbs up.


    Frank also served a small cup, and when he brought it to his mouth, he smelled a pungent smell of alcohol. He frowned and took a sip, but the result was so hot that he stuck out his tongue.


    "Chinese wine without ice, it''s horrible!" This is the master''s comment.


    As a result, more people became curious. Seeing how refreshing their father and brother-in-law were to drink with peanuts, they also tried it. Bing didn''t know how to get drunk, and everyone in the back drank unconsciously and turned into **** with their arms around their necks and singing good-bye to the two brothers.


    After the New Year��s Eve countdown in Los Angeles time, the last program came: fireworks.


    Setting off firecrackers can easily be mistaken by the small town police as a shooting, and there is too much garbage and it is difficult to clean up. An Feng only bought some fireworks. Moved the props to the backyard and arranged them neatly. Everyone picked up their cameras one by one. An Feng lit the fireworks in order, and ran over to join everyone with strange screams.


    With the sound of whistling and fireworks rising into the sky, crackling explosions sounded in the night sky above, and colorful and gorgeous flowers bloomed suddenly... In this gorgeous fireworks party, An Feng and others exchanged New Year''s greetings, and the foreigners were also lame The "Happy New Year" was a joy, and some people behind shouted "Hello Brothers", probably because the 56-degree Chinese wine just now hasn''t brought them back to their senses...

 Chapter 78： fly back to China

    Chapter 78 Fly back to China


    Although due to the time difference between China and the West, people celebrate the Spring Festival differently in terms of time, but the festive atmosphere on the Internet is very strong. Apart from reading some news headlines, An Feng surfs the Internet to browse the lively class groups. The group is discussing the upcoming wedding banquet of Lao Ban.


    Seeing that everyone was chatting so happily, An Feng also crackled and typed a line: "Old Ban, are you ready to welcome brother? The imported ''80,000'' is already in your trouser pocket."


    "The great local tyrant of the American emperor has finally appeared!" Lao Ban flashed back, and added a bunch of exclamation points after it.


    "It''s not in vain that our class is still waiting for you in the middle of the night." Someone replied.


    An Feng replied with a smiling face: "Brother, I was wrong! But on the day I came, a vertical banner was hung at the hotel entrance: Welcome Mrs. An to visit and guide Mr. Xiang and Mrs. Xiang''s bridal chamber activities. Just make a point of it like this." Come on, keep a low profile, or we will be embarrassed."


    "No problem, a vertical banner charges one million advertising fees, remember to settle the account before leaving." Old Ban said.


    "If you dare not give it, you will be detained! There is a lot of money on the big local tyrant!" Wu Chao said.


    Wang Le broke the news: "What are you doing with the third child? It''s so vulgar! After so many years of foundation, it''s not enough? If you want to buckle, you can buckle the woman! The third child is nourishing these days, and the current girlfriend is a supermodel!"


    "Fuck, really? Didn''t you say you were an actor last time?" Old Ban was puzzled.


    An Feng hadn''t finished typing a line, when Wang Le came over: "I''m getting angry when I say this! The third child is an authentic hanging silk product in China, but when he goes abroad, the aesthetic value of foreigners is questionable. In this way, the Diaosi counterattack was staged, speaking of it, I really feel sorry for the Yanma girl!"


    "You said JJ without the picture?" Ji Min replied.


    "That''s right, seek pictures and truth!" Wu Chao said.


    "I''ll show you the third penis." Wang Le said.


    "Don''t mess around, what is my penis!" An Feng sweated profusely.


    As a result, Wang Le posted a photo of Katilina and Katilina during his last Christmas visit, and everyone inevitably attacked An Feng. They all pointed their finger at An Feng, asking him to treat him this time, and asking him to bring the Yanma girl too. Let everyone see what Wang Le said about the S-shaped top-notch girl.


    An Feng quarreled with these people all night, and then saw the black gold card on the side of the table, which was delivered a few days ago, with his own name embossed on it, showing the uniqueness of top customers, he suddenly wanted to try the black gold card As far as the card is capable, he called Angela: "Hi, Angela."


    "Hello, Mr. An." Angela''s voice was as sweet as ever.


    "I need to go abroad in a few days, and I want to rent a business jet to fly an international route. I wonder if you can help me with it?"


    "No problem, Mr. An, you need to apply for an international flight three days in advance, and one day for emergencies. If you are not in a hurry, we will handle it according to the three-day standard."


    ��


    A few days later, An Feng carried a light bag and took Catalina, who was dressed in European and American fashion, onto a business jet parked at Paso Robles Airport.


    The benefits of the black gold card are really good. After Anfeng��s request was issued, the service center immediately rented a Gulfstream G550 business jet. Enjoy a hi-fi set, separate luxury washrooms and more.


    Gulfstream G550 is a typical intercontinental aircraft. Its range can reach up to 12,000 kilometers. Starting from California and flying to S City in China, the range is only over 10,000 kilometers. It is faster than civil aviation while ensuring comfort.


    (City S, City B can��t do anything about it, it involves real place names, so if you type it out, you��ll be caught off guard)


    The ten-hour flight was a bit long, but fortunately, the plane was spacious. Apart from the pilot and the flight attendant, there were only two passengers, An Feng and Katilina. There was a wordless chat on the sofa until we fell asleep sleepily.


    When the soft voice of the flight attendant rang in my ears, the plane was ready to land.


    An Feng took Katilina through the VIP channel of the airport, went through immigration inspection, stamped an entry stamp on the passport book, and after doing some things in a hurry, officially entered the country. The full VIP treatment from departure to landing is really good, but the price is a bit expensive, 100,000 US dollars a day.


    As long as it is convenient and comfortable, the cost of flying will be reduced to one-third when you have an airplane in the future. It is still the most suitable to buy an airplane. An Feng was looking for domestic car rental companies at the airport. In recent years, affected by international trends, some big cities in China have also emerged in the car rental industry.


    However, there are not many choices. An Feng chose the best one, and also considered the problem of staying in the local area for sightseeing, and finally rented an Audi Q5.


    Then find a star-rated hotel. Because it is an international chain and has cooperation with American Express, you can show the black gold card and get top-level treatment directly. You can live in the hotel��s presidential suite at a discounted price. The most important thing is this kind of difference, no matter how much cheaper you are.


    ��


    After a night of jet lag, I got up to work at noon the next day. As usual, Katilina regards dressing up Anfeng as her own pleasure. The spring in S City is different from that in California, and it is still very cold. Leather jackets and knee-length skirts appeared.


    After putting on the skirt, Katilina walked in a small step and twisted her buttocks, it was really fatal.


    The effect of being carried on the street by her arm was not enough. Passers-by paid attention and saluted, and An Feng held his head high. This mentality was what he called the pride of "winning the country". It''s a pity that there were not many pedestrians around the Spring Festival, and the full pride was not released too much. Later, he got on Q5 and rushed to the appointment place.


    There are a lot of arrangements in S City these days, first is the reunion of good friends in the dormitory, then the class reunion, and finally the wedding party.


    The boss of the dormitory, Xiang Yang, is also the squad leader. After graduation, he has been working in a private company in S City. He has been in the middle class. His hometown is also very close. It is in the Suzhou-Hangzhou area. I heard that he took a girl from Jiangnan who is as gentle as water. An Feng has never seen her. But I heard from Wu Chao that the boy''s life is very nourishing.


    There are few vehicles on the street, and An Feng has become American-style driving. He drives to 65 when the speed limit is 60. Fortunately, speeding at this point is not a violation, and it��s just a ticket. Go ahead and deduct points from your domestic driver��s license. He still has a California driver''s license, and he''s preparing for an international driver''s license, and even a pilot''s license.


    Since Katilina asked to see the scenery, An Feng took her for a swim around the riverside and the new area. The foreign girl clicked and clicked the camera, and the harvest was not small. The conclusion is: "China''s tall buildings are no less than New York !" An Feng was proud, you thought it was the countryside in the 1970s and 1980s.


    It��s just that when Katilina tried to tweet, ahhh, couldn��t connect.


    An Fenghan: "I don''t know that an opportunity to promote domestic superiority to foreigners is wasted."


    Finally, I stopped in front of a coffee shop. Generally, classmates would either drink or yell at a reunion. The Chinese New Year just passed, and there were very few shops that opened, so I could only play with the petty bourgeois sentiment that is prevalent in China. In fact, Barker''s is also very common. In the United States, it is only a chain of fast coffee shops, and it is used by people to surf the Internet by the way, just like the reason why Kenda Chicken is very high-end in China.


    A few cars were parked at the door, and a few young men and women were standing there. At a glance, they were still familiar with the formula... It looked like this!


    Opened the door and got off the car, took Katilina''s hand and walked towards the crowd. An Feng was wearing sunglasses, playing European and American fashion styles. At first they couldn''t recognize each other. After walking in and taking off the sunglasses, they smiled. This group of people came to their senses: "Damn! An Feng, you can do it, you can''t even recognize him!"


    An Feng hugged the **** men one by one: "Brother is rich and handsome now!"


    After hugging the man, the lesbians are temporarily exempted. This aspect is not as good as that of foreign countries. Everyone''s eyes were focused on the youthful, beautiful, and dazzling Katilina. Their eyes, movements, and mouth shapes reminded An Feng not to forget the main topic��girl. An Feng already knew about these guys, and he introduced with a smile: "This is Katilina."


    "Hi!"


    "hello!"


    Everyone showed their unique English, and Katilina greeted them with a smile: "Hi, I''m Katilina. It''s a pleasure to meet you."


    Everyone''s level is so far. After graduation for so many years, how can they remember how much English? Those who are more advanced will continue to discuss the friendship between the two countries with Katilina, while An Feng is pulled aside by the boss Xiangyang. Following Wu Chao, a cheater, Xiang Yang yelled at him: "Say it quickly! Did you rent it?"


    The two men stared at him with piercing eyes.


    "I despise your hanging silk mentality!" An Feng laughed, and spoke to Katilina in Spanish: "Catirina, come and give me a passionate kiss."


    Catilina walked over tacitly, unequivocally hugging his neck and kissing him affectionately.


    "Wow!" The friends were shocked.


    An Feng hugged the big girl, triumphantly, and had already prepared this move.

 Chapter 79： all kinds of nonsense

    Chapter 79 All kinds of nonsense


    Back then, there were three of the four good friends in the dormitory: the eldest brother Xiangyang and his gentle and cute daughter-in-law Ji Xiaoyan; Talking about Ji Min, now the only thing missing is Wang Le, the second child who likes to be late the most.


    Everyone chatted and laughed at the door, revisiting the past, Wang Le finally arrived, this guy didn''t show his face last time, this time when the car stopped, he actually pulled a half-race beauty with long hair down to his waist.


    "Hi, you guys!" Wang Lexiong pulled Niu towards the crowd.


    Everyone despised him and pulled him aside. This time it was An Feng''s turn to ask: "Quickly tell me! Did you rent it?"


    The stinky **** stared at Wang Le unhappily, and their eyes gave him bursts of pressure. He laughed: "Do you think it''s worth renting a rich and handsome brother?"


    "It''s doubtful." Xiang Yang said.


    "Take your personality as an example." Wu Chao said.


    "Eighty nine is close to ten." An Feng added.


    Wang Le was furious: "What kind of mentality do you **** have! Lisa was the one I met on the plane back home after I went to California to talk to my third son about business last time."


    "I thought there was some twists and turns in the story." Everyone returned disappointed and ignored him.


    The love story prepared by Wang Le quickly lost the audience.


    However, Lisa is quite beautiful, her face looks like she is of mixed race, her Chinese is good, and her English is more fluent. In this case, it is likely to be ABC.


    After everyone arrived, everyone drove into the coffee shop and chose the largest private seat. If there is an order... An Feng is glad that he brought the girl here.


    They are all their own people, and they have nothing to say. Back then they used washbasins to eat collective instant noodles, and they were almost destroyed by the knife tower for three generations of bread-eating little princes. Now everyone has transformed, either with a career or a family. Naturally, this topic needs to be upgraded. Talk about life, talk about ideals.


    The boss, Xiangyang, started: "It is estimated that the third child has changed the most. A few years ago, he was so low-key. I thought he was stimulated after the breakup. I didn''t recommend him a high-paying job. I didn''t expect it, I didn''t expect it. That��s called recharging your energy, getting ready to go, and running to the United States to become a landlord in a blink of an eye!��


    "Congratulations!" Everyone toasted coffee.


    An Feng smiled and cupped his hands: "It''s just a small vineyard."


    Wu Chao despised him: "Don''t believe him, this guy occupies more than 360 acres of land, and if it is in China, it will be multiplied by six, and the proper 2,000 acres, do you think it is small for growing grapes?"


    "Fight the local tyrant!" Everyone''s anger turned into fists and claws.


    An Feng dodged a few fists and claws, and fought back with a smile. Men basically say what they think of, especially when it comes to girls, everyone has something to say.


    The boss is the boss, and the questions he asks all have double meanings: "Is there ''what the hell''?"


    The ladies were all puzzled. Ji Min, who was a little unscrupulous, wanted to laugh but held back, but the more corrupt she was, the more serious she acted.


    An Feng laughed happily.


    Wu Chao and Wang Le looked at each other, Wang Le said: "You look down on our youngest''s strength too much!"


    Wu Chao said with a smile: "The first place in the 7 dormitory competition is not for nothing. At the beginning, we said that this guy should go out and harm Yanmar. I didn''t expect the joke to come true."


    "Thanks to everyone''s care!" An Feng said modestly.


    "So it is!" Ji Min and Ji Xiaoyan, who could understand the special meaning of Chinese, both suddenly realized.


    "What exactly do you mean?" The mixed race Lisa asked Wang Le.


    "What are you talking about?" Katilina, who was of mixed Western blood, couldn''t understand the whole process. Fortunately, Lisa was on the same side as her. She said, "They seem to be discussing something very interesting."


    The men were vague in a few words, and finally Xiang Yang changed the topic: "Let''s not talk about that, let''s talk about where to hold a bachelor party at night. You see, there are only eight of us. Since there are not many people, why don''t we Don''t distinguish between men and women, let''s form a team together?"


    Everyone agreed to the proposal. There are few people and there is no place to go during the Spring Festival. It would be even more fun to separate. Then they chatted about other topics, basically all about An Feng, who made his change the most surprising, everyone was very curious about his experience.


    An Feng said some random facts, his own creativity, etc. Anyway, no one can suspect anything about his mental activities. At most, he is like the guy who accidentally became a math genius after being knocked on the head in the United States last time. The facts are there, but you just can''t explain them in the language of science.


    An Feng thought about it and said: "I invest in these industries with great potential. I am confident, so if you have any ideas or want to see the outside world, you can come to me. The current situation is: there are many ideas, but the manpower Insufficient, can use one is one!"


    Several industries under An Feng are severely understaffed, and Americans are actually lazy. They ask for enough vacations and salary increases... They ask for all kinds of good treatment, but they don''t want to work more. Some unemployed Americans in the west often call the Chinese to take their jobs, but in reality? Even if there are no Chinese, this gang of devils will not do those jobs like washing dishes.


    But everyone has no such long-term plans for the time being, mainly because they are not familiar with foreign countries, and there are too many worries at home. Only a family like Wang Le with an outstanding heir can run around the world with his unrestrained conditions... Finished talking about life , They went together to hold a bachelor party.


    The rhythm is not as chaotic as it was in Las Vegas last time. At least no one invited strippers and acrobats to perform, and no one smoked with big = hemp in their mouths. I just drank beer and sang songs, and then went back to each other, waking up late the next day, and was busy preparing for the class reunion and wedding banquet.


    An Feng did not bring much luggage for this trip, because he felt that as long as he had money, there was no need to bring a lot of luggage to trouble himself, so he went shopping with Katilina early and continued to show off. This time I mainly changed the location, in China, and the cost of shopping is a bit high.


    Katilina was very puzzled why these branded clothes were much more expensive than those in the United States, and An Feng couldn''t explain how the luxury tax was calculated. The only thing he knew was that he took out his black gold card and attracted the attention of those who knew the goods. , and then left in a hurry. It seems that it is inconvenient for top cardholders to keep a low profile.


    The next day, he and Katilina continued to go European and American. The nature of class reunions is a bit different from that of good friends. Brothers will not laugh at you no matter how good or bad you are, but class reunions are more or less There was a bit of showing off, so An Feng took Niu to participate as a winner in life.


    Proposed by Xiang Yang, everyone organized, and finally held a buffet in a hotel. There are all well-dressed men and women present, not all from the same class. Everyone handed business cards to each other in high spirits, introduced their work, and expressed their ideals for the future. They also heard some people discussing that a certain person passed the civil service examination, that a certain person was promoted to the office director, how many leaders he knew, and that a certain person started a company , How to get along with the tax bureau and so on.


    An Feng greeted each other with everyone, and after a while, Katilina was taken away by the lesbians, calling it: discussing knowledge with foreign friends.


    Actually, it is a group of girls who are curious about Yanmars, trendy girls, and the super-slim girls advertised in the class group, as well as endless 38 topics. It''s a pity that they speak Chinglish, and Katilina speaks Western English, so it is difficult for both groups to understand what the other is saying.


    An Feng exchanged business cards with those elite men in suits and leather shoes who had a successful career and did not know which class mixed in. In fact, An Feng only had one business card: investor.


    It��s very cheating, and it��s full of suspicion of fraud, so the elites gave up the opportunity to discuss cooperation with him, and instead looked for more business opportunities.


    Then An Feng was pulled aside by a curious friend from the class.


    A certain gentleman: "An Feng, do you have E in those two **** of your girl? Does it make you suffocate every night?"


    An Feng felt sorry for the child who didn''t even know his wife''s size, and said: "Calculating the size is not only about letters, but also numbers to have a three-dimensional effect. Letters are only altitude. If there is no reasonable waistline, it will look very ugly. Coordination, such as a big fat 45E, do you think it looks good?"


    My girlfriend, who is still leaking for the time being, understands.


    Someone asked again: "Are there any nudist beaches in California? And I heard that if you can speak Chinese in Los Angeles, you can get along? And the minimum salary is guaranteed?"


    An Feng looked at the children who wanted to go to the United States with their dreams, and said, "I don''t know if there are any in California, but it depends on personal preference. If you want to get naked, there should be no one to stop you. There are many Chinese in Los Angeles, and there are many people in Chinatown. , can speak Cantonese and can get along. Another guarantee is for those who have a work visa but are not working temporarily."


    Someone asked: "Is the United States like the news that there are guns all day long?"


    "If you go out at night as a yellow person in a black area, you have a high chance of seeing them. But the white area, especially the place where the rich gather, is very peaceful."


    "I heard that the Chinese in Los Angeles like dry cleaning feet very much. Have you met Sister Feng?"


    An Feng was speechless: "Dry cleaning feet? Who has this kind of **** hobby? Sister Feng is in New York, and there is also a foot washing room there, but out of probability, I didn''t dare to try it."


    "Have you ever been to Las Vegas to whore? Have you ever smoked?"


    "..."


    "Does Yanmar like to open the back door? Does it feel like a 0.5 refill is inserted in a 1.0 pen holder?"


    "..."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 80： about the ex

    Chapter 80 The matter of the ex


    There were quite a few people present at the party, and about half of them were even strangers.


    An Feng wandered around, met Xiang Yang, pulled him over, and said with a smile: "It seems that there are quite a lot of people today, have they all decided to attend your wedding banquet?"


    "Almost, didn''t you know it earlier?" Xiang Yang asked strangely.


    An Feng stared in one direction with malicious intent: "Look! Ex, ambiguous ex, and ex who failed! Do you dare to set a table exclusively for the ex at the wedding banquet?"


    "Damn! Don''t say anything!"


    Xiang Yang covered his mouth and looked around, luckily his wife was not around. However, as a former leader of the student union, Xiangyang has paid off for what he has paid. Naturally, he has more chances to meet elementary school girls and curry favor with college girls than ordinary hangers-on, so the love stories are also richer. To sell his face, exes or quasi-exes who have failed in their pursuit have all appeared.


    They all said that this kind of thing is easy to resonate. After Wang Le and Wu Chao saw the boss''s predecessor, they also came over one after another, touched their arms and winked their eyes. The meaning was clear. Xiang Yang said with a big head: "Warning you not to make trouble! If I kneel on the keyboard tonight, you guys don''t run away tomorrow!"


    As a result, the matter could not be continued. The sharp-eyed Wu Chao looked into the crowd and smiled immediately: "Hey! It''s your turn for the third child! Who is that?"


    An Feng turned his head, and a figure in the crowd happened to meet his gaze. Before he could react, these **** pushed him hard from behind.


    "Hi, Liu Lin." An Feng greeted with a smile, but when he turned around, the smile disappeared, and he glared at them with gritted teeth, mouth shape: Wang-ba-dan.


    Xiang Yang smiled: "This is called retribution!"


    Nothing else, this kind of thing can only happen to the ex, Liu Lin smiled slightly: "Hi, how are you doing recently? Is work going well?"


    An Feng smiled and nodded: "It''s okay, work is so-so. I haven''t seen you in a few years. If it weren''t for a few friends with sharp eyes, I wouldn''t be sure it was you."


    "Haha, you are still the same." Liu Lin said with a smile.


    Several buddies around are gloating and watching the excitement. Speaking of An Feng''s relationship, it''s really vulgar. It''s the most common example among tens of millions of people. That is to say, getting to know each other in college, spending beautiful youthful campus time together, and then graduating. I was originally planning to get a certificate, but it was delayed by trivial matters. The mother-in-law always hopes that her daughter can find a good one, but how capable can a graduate just out of society be? ? So if you come and go twice, you will be divided.


    There is really no one to blame for this matter. There is only one child in the family. After raising such a big child, do you still want her to suffer? It''s just that the social pressure is too great, or the values ??are gradually distorted by materialism. It was a pity at first, but after a long time, the heartless An Feng didn''t bother to think about it.


    Just when An Feng was about to say something, a man walked beside Liu Lin, hugging her waist intimately. Liu Lin introduced: "He is my husband Lin Hengzhi, and this is my friend An Feng."


    Lin Hengzhi was older than Liu Lin, wearing a loose suit, not tall, and looked like a village cadre, not comparable to the handsome An Feng, but he stretched out his hand to An Feng confidently: "Hello! Look! Come on, I��m older than you, if you don��t mind, I��ll call you Brother An, right? By the way, I work in the Municipal Finance Bureau as a section chief, how about you?��


    An Feng shook hands with him: "I don''t go to work recently, so it should be considered a freelance job."


    Lin Hengzhi still had a smile on his face, but not as bright as before. An Feng knew it in his heart, and let go of his hand without changing his face: "Congratulations!"


    Liu Lin may have sensed the atmosphere of the impending silence, and said with a smile: "Let''s all stop standing, find a place to sit and have a good chat. If An Feng doesn''t find a suitable job, my husband knows quite a few people , maybe I can recommend it for you too. Right, husband?"


    Lin Hengzhi was full of confidence: "This matter is not a problem. I have a little friendship with the bosses of those companies, so it''s easy to talk to you."


    When An Feng was about to politely refuse, Katilina found him, walked over and hugged her arms: "I''m so tired, I found out that my English is really bad."


    Suddenly, a tall and big Yangma came over to break the embarrassment. Liu Lin and Lin Hengzhi listened to An Feng chattering with the Yangma, as if they were not in English. After listening to a few words at a loss, An Feng introduced to them: "I Girlfriend Catalina, I met in the United States."


    "Oh, I don''t like it, I was beaten to death!" Katilina spoke Spanish directly.


    The two were confused, An Feng explained: "She greets you. Sorry, her English is average, and she usually speaks Spanish."


    They also greeted: "Hello."


    Catilina smiled, and Liu Lin asked, "An Feng, have you gone abroad?"


    An Feng nodded: "Yes, I''m making some investment abroad and doing some high-tech."


    Katilina shook An Feng''s arm, and said a lot in her mouth. An Feng said sorry to them who still wanted to talk: "My girlfriend wants me to be an interpreter for her, so I can''t Continue to chat with you guys. Nice to meet you, let''s talk again next time we have a chance!"


    After speaking, An Feng turned around and left with his arms around the eye-catching foreign girl.


    "I saved you, thank me, right?" Katilina spoke proudly in Spanish.


    "Did you do it on purpose?" An Feng finally understood, no wonder it was so abrupt.


    When they came to those buddies, they smiled and said, "How about it, winners in life, do you have the pleasure of hanging silk to counterattack?"


    "What and what, this is just a simple communication, okay?" An Feng rolled his eyes.


    Wang Le hummed: "If it weren''t for our cleverness, let your girl go over to help, today you will definitely be despised by the little section chief! A small role, what''s so arrogant, we want to see the third child get embarrassed , It��s not about pretending to be aggressive! To pretend to be aggressive is because I despise the third child to death!��


    Wu Chao agreed: "Yes, the second child is definitely the super rich second generation!"


    "Do I need to fix these?" An Feng said with a smile.


    Wang Le suddenly smiled: "Damn! I have nothing in common with you, a quasi-foreigner. I almost forgot that this guy is a big landlord plus a big capitalist!"


    The classmate reunion ended in boredom, maybe others gained a lot, but An Feng only felt that the relationship with the three buddies remained the same as before. Back then when we were rich and handsome at the beginning of the month and poor at the end of the month, pooling money to eat instant noodles in a pot and chatting happily about a certain girl, this friendship was indelible.


    ��


    On the day of the wedding banquet, An Feng prepared a big red envelope. After going through the process of the traditional wedding banquet, it can be seen that Katilina is very interested in these things. She has been holding a camera in her hand, from robbing her daughter-in-law... ahem! Starting from inviting the daughter-in-law out of her mother''s house, all the way to the hotel in a lively manner, and then a group of people got to know each other.


    An Feng found that everyone is more interested in Katilina and Lisa. After all, there are very few foreigners who can communicate with them, and they are still two beauties. Catalina had already grasped this enthusiasm a few days ago, so she spoke Spanish wisely.


    Then there is the Chinese-style Western-style wedding. The master of ceremonies makes speeches and provokes the audience to be active. How to have a good time needs to be studied.


    In the end, Katilina had a bridal chamber with them, and got addicted to the combination of Chinese and Western style weddings. Fortunately, it was not as scary as those rumors on the Internet. Why did the groom wear stockings and bras? , dance, and let them go.


    After the wedding banquet, I found time to have a small meeting with my three best friends. Xiang Yang wanted to go abroad for honeymoon, but he chose the Maldives in Southeast Asia, where the sun and beaches are infinitely beautiful. To be honest, the United States is still a bit cold, except for the daytime in California. They parted ways, and An Feng and Wang Le traveled with their girls.


    The plan was to go north, and the four of them flew to the capital together. It��s good to travel during this period of time. Before the peak of the Spring Festival travel season, the city is basically empty, and the scenic spots can be viewed casually. The photos taken are finally not group photos. It��s just that the weather is a bit cold, and it��s easy to stay in bed. .


    In addition, Wang Le brought good news. The cooperation between Tailan and domestic authorized enterprises has officially started. The samples and the technicians sent by Tailan are all in place. It will not take long for mass production to be released before spring plowing. If If the response is good, the domestic market is a huge one.


    They went to the Great Wall together to be a hero, went to the Forbidden City to appreciate the culture, wandered in the streets and alleys, played and ate what they should. After playing and eating enough, they finally said goodbye to each other, Wang Le continued to hang out with his sister, An Feng kept a low profile this time, and flew back to San Francisco in the first class of civil aviation.

 Chapter 81： when there is parting

    Chapter 81 When there is a final parting


    The weather was still sunny on the way home. The climate in California is really warm. The so-called winter has become a show in front of Los Angeles and other coastal areas. According to news reports, the highest temperature in the Los Angeles area this winter has reached 32 degrees Celsius, and it is expected that the high temperature will affect local areas earlier.


    When An Feng arrived home, he happened to see a few little bunnies playing in the swimming pool with swimming rings on. The adults were hiding in the sun and chatting in cool clothes. It felt like summer, but winter has just passed! Although he is from the south, it will occasionally snow in winter, okay?


    Fortunately, the high temperature in summer in California is also maintained at this level, and occasionally it will be lower, of course, excluding Death Valley in California, which has repeatedly broken human surface temperature records. The place is reserved for Martians... In short, you never need to wear clothes in California. With very thick clothes, An Feng also comfortably basked in the sun all day.


    The children in the neighborhood had a great time playing. The two little girls and two little boys just chatted together when they went to school, and then they went to ride a pony, and took An Feng��s tablet to compete in games... Although the language was poor, the children at this time It is the one with the strongest comprehension ability. I haven''t seen her for a few days. Xiaoyu has frequently spit out words such as Look, Come-on, etc., and the kids are also affected, and there is no lack of words such as "fun" and "come".


    In addition, my sister is keen to chat with some Americans around and practice daily oral English. Although the speaking speed is a bit slow, she can master it quickly. On the contrary, my brother-in-law has a headache. The book, which records the foreign language cheats given to him by his sister. After all, I have plans to emigrate. I can��t do without learning something. Even my parents occasionally flip through English books and learn phonetic symbols. I often hear them burst into laughter, and then ask my sister for verification. Learn by old age, right?


    In addition, when An Feng was walking his dog down the mountain, he found that grapes had grown in his experimental field. It looked sparse, but the experienced old John said that this was the fastest growing grape seedling he had ever seen. There are changes from day to day, and the growth is very good.


    It will take more than a year for the real fruit to be harvested. This year, it is not expected to harvest. Whether it is cutting or grafting, the grape seedlings need the same amount of time. What''s more, Anfeng''s still starts from sprouting seeds, even if the speed is fast. , but it also takes a certain amount of time.


    This is a long-term investment.


    After staying for a few days, one-third of February has passed, which also means that it is time for Xiaoyu to return to China for school. On the night when she went back, she exchanged gifts with a few friends, instead of chattering as usual, she said some things that both of them didn''t understand, and then wept and bid farewell.


    The adults couldn��t help but cry when they saw this scene. The time given to the children was delayed again and again, and they didn��t say goodbye until late at night when everyone was sleepy. There is no way, American children have to go to school tomorrow. Although school ends at three or four in the afternoon, Xiaoyu and her family have to leave at noon.


    Xiaoyu said goodbye to her partners: "Mia, goodbye!"


    "Goodbye!" Mia is a blond girl with a chubby face, flat bangs, and cute skirts. It''s a pity that foreigners don''t like people touching their children casually. Maybe it''s because of some kind of lollipop-feeding hobby. Well, or they were thinking too much. Otherwise, An Feng really wanted to pinch her chubby face.


    "Goodbye, Andy and Harvey!" Xiaoyu continued, and the two little boys also waved to her. Although they didn''t understand the language, the farewell gestures were decent.


    When we set off the next day, seeing Xiaoyu was not very happy, An Feng patted her head: "Okay little girl, it''s not like I won''t see you again, isn''t the summer vacation coming again in a few months? And you can call Phone, if you still want to see pictures, just play Skype and chat enough."


    "Really?" Xiaoyu looked at her uncle and then at her mother.


    Sister smiled: "Of course it''s okay, look at your little cat face, if you say you can''t, you will cry, right?"


    "Mom is the best!" Xiaoyu cheered and hugged her mother.


    An Feng smiled and patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder: "Be careful of international long-distance call charges."


    ��


    I saw off my family at the Los Angeles Airport, and also said goodbye to Katilina. She was going to perform the duties of a fashion director, and it was hard to find a suitable job. It��s not good to give up halfway. An Feng said goodbye to her at the airport, but he had nothing to say. If you want to talk about a couple, it''s not a couple, at most it''s a friend who talks about everything.


    Catilina hugged him and buried her head in her chest: "I''m going to live in Las Vegas for a while. Recently, SC has developed very well, and there are a lot of jobs."


    An Feng patted her on the back: "It''s always good to have your own career. While you are young, work hard for the future. I have a lot of things recently, and I guess I have to travel between Texas and California."


    Catilina moved her mouth and said after a few seconds of silence: "This feels weird. We are obviously not a couple, but why is there such a sad parting?"


    "Maybe they are used to being together." An Feng said with a smile.


    Catilina looked up, her eyes were a little dim: "I feel that our relationship has exceeded the original agreement, although you really tempted me, but..."


    "Hey." An Feng interrupted her, "Take this as a good memory and solve the mystery, but there will be no sense of mystery."


    "Well, I agree." Katilina kissed him on tiptoe, "We... If I say there is a chance in the future, shall we continue like this?"


    An Feng said: "It depends on the situation. If I am not married and you are not married, why not?"


    Catilina also laughed, and continued to put her arms around him to stage a parting kiss. After she let go, she whispered, "Why don''t we go to the airport bathroom?"


    "Don''t do this, time is running out." An Feng raised his finger and pointed to his watch, "Half an hour won''t end our battle."


    Catilina kissed him again: "I knew it would be dawn last night."


    An Feng is speechless, his legs are a little weak when he walks now, isn''t he crazy enough?


    She let go of An Feng and waved to him: "Looking forward to our next meeting!"


    After speaking, he turned and pulled the trolley case and left.


    An Feng stood where he was and waved his hands, then turned and walked out of the airport.


    ��


    An Feng stayed in Los Angeles for a day, inspecting his two industries. The operation of the research institute was fairly organized. Joseph Hart''s development ability was not strong, but his management ability was very good. The number of employees was increasing a little bit, and the diet pills were constantly being developed. Clinical test, the effect is miraculous as expected.


    Another large group, the cell group, is trying to find a way to reach the top. The experts are almost to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep, working overtime in a tacit agreement, in the words of Mike Case, their progress in a few weeks is as good as others for several years, and when there is a big breakthrough, the opponent will be far behind in his life.


    An Feng doesn''t know what they are excited about, is a little progress worth being happy? Wouldn''t it be a collective madness when they really broke through?


    An Feng didn''t understand. His mentality was the same as that of a rich man guarding a golden mountain who couldn''t understand the excitement of a poor man who picked up a hundred yuan on the road.


    In addition, Tailan''s orders have increased again, and there are both doubts and praises in the market. Some people do not believe that there will be such a strong effect, and some people firmly believe that the power of technology is unimaginable... Both pros and cons are fighting, so both pros and cons All want to get a sample of fertilizer to test.


    The result is naturally a big hit. When the result comes out half a year later, it will really be the moment for dark horse Tailan to subvert the existing model. Facing the world with a super technology monopoly attitude, Bray Hawk is already making full preparations for this. Of course, the happiest one was An Feng, the boss.

 Chapter 82： Finally, there is someone in charge [third update]

    Chapter 82 Finally, there is someone in charge ��Third update��


    Nothing to do, An Feng returned to SLO.


    He continued to organize the data of the machine brain, splitting it from difficult to easy. He thought it couldn''t be easier, but others didn''t have his ability. What he has to do now is to break down the steps to make it easier to understand. There is a lot of work, and I yawn frequently, but for the sake of money, I endure it for the time being.


    He can''t sit still after several days of monotonous office work. He has to find some way to adjust his body, whether it''s outdoor riding or indoor exercise. One-on-one with Guli is one of them. This guy is powerful, has outstanding fighting ability, and is agile. He can be called an inhuman.


    Coincidentally, An Feng is this kind of non-human being. Compared with Gu Li, his size is not at the same level, but his strength is very outstanding. The only disadvantage is that he does not have many skills, and he is more inclined to street fighting. Gu Li felt very uncomfortable and forced him to carry out systematic training.


    From Israel''s Krav Maga to some simplified military fighting techniques, Guli''s teaching is completely different from the common fighting sports on the market. There are no fancy moves, no wonderful moves, and the only thing is to target the enemy everywhere and put them to death. Vicious, even Krav Maga is purely based on destroying the lifeline of the enemy. The so-called no move is enough, once a move is made, the opponent must be left behind.


    After a sweaty combat training, An Feng and Gu Li sat on the mat to drink water and adjust their breath. After getting along for a long time, An Feng talked more casually. He kicked Gu Li: "Did you stay in the army before?" Have you been? I found that besides fighting, you are also very familiar with firearms."


    Gu Li said directly: "I have served in the army, but many skills are not learned from the army."


    "You don''t really work as a mercenary, do you?" An Feng stared at him, his mind was full of reverie. In the war-torn Africa and the Middle East, a group of foreign armed men wearing military uniforms from all nations were paid high salaries and carried guns. Cannon, fighting for money in a foreign country, a wild dog of war who licks blood with a knife.


    "Hahaha, you think too much!" Gu Li laughed, "Mercenaries were more popular in the 1980s and 1990s, especially in Africa in the 1990s and the Middle East at the beginning of the new century. Wars made the mercenary industry flourish. After a few years, as long as you don��t die, you can make a fortune, but since the international crackdown on the illegal mercenary industry, the times have changed, everyone has put on vests, and they no longer call themselves mercenaries.��


    "How should I say it?" An Feng was curious about these layers that he couldn''t touch.


    "The United Nations strictly prohibits foreign mercenaries, and the Geneva Treaty does not protect mercenaries. In short, if you are caught, no one will protect you no matter how much you are abused. Are you afraid? But those contractors are also very smart. After the new century, they will transform one by one. Calling yourself a ''mercenary'' is an act of seeking death, it''s very stupid, and people with foundations have set up PMCs, which is short for ''private military contractors'', and they are legal in a flash."


    "Oh, I know, black water, right?" An Feng said.


    "Blackwater is also a type of PMC, but there are more negative hypes. It is famous for causing trouble and hype, but it will also cause trouble. The dismantling of Blackwater by the US government is a typical example. The real giants are very low-key, and they send people to fight To be honest, I can��t make much money. For example, the predecessors in the PMC industry: DynCorp, used to hire soldiers, but now they are obedient. They directly contract the logistics and maintenance of US military aircraft, which is more profitable than sending people out to fight. Many, and no one will die, American life is very expensive!"


    "The U.S. military has so many planes and often causes troubles, but it''s more profitable than sending people to fight." An Feng said.


    Guli said with a smile: "There are other really powerful ones. MPRI is probably the industry giant. I only say that it has contracted part of the military training of the US military, US police, National Guard, and students. You will know how strong it is. But There were also many scandals in the last century, including illegal training of foreign troops, including training by the Croatian army, and then participating in genocide activities. Its employees also blatantly trafficked Eastern European women, which is full of evil deeds."


    An Feng understood after listening, but he still doubted: "You still say you are not? Knowing so much, at least a little related?"


    Guri shook his head: "I don''t do mercenaries and other rich and lifeless things. After I retire, I want to be a bodyguard. I have specialized training, and I have the opportunity to participate in special training at the Israel International Security Academy, which is a top anti-terrorist organization in the world. The security training academy is very famous in the security industry."


    "Then you are a top student?" An Feng said.


    Guri shook his head: "No, I''m a special student. I stayed for half a year and didn''t finish all the training. Later, I returned to China due to some things, and then came to the United States."


    "So you have learned a lot, right? You didn''t consider applying for a security company in the United States at the beginning?"


    "I don''t have a legal visa, so I can''t work, and I just wanted to hide for a while before thinking about the rest."


    "It seems that you are also lazy." An Feng said, the phone rang a few times, picked it up to answer, the call from Texas, the research team encountered some problems.


    "Okay, I''m leaving tomorrow." An Feng hung up the phone after finishing speaking, and said to Gu Li, "Go on a business trip with me tomorrow."


    ��


    Business jets are the most comfortable for business trips. An Feng also wants to experience the experience of riding in different business jets in preparation for buying a plane in the future, so this time he asked Angela to rent him a Bombardier-Challenger 300, which is better than the last time. Mrs. Sinclair''s Challenger 850 is narrower and has a range of more than 5,000 kilometers, but since it is a business jet, it must be luxurious, just like the different models of Rolls-Royce, no matter how high-end it is.


    Flyed to Austin, Texas with the documents and computer, boarded the official car that came to pick him up, and went directly to the GP company.


    The location of GP company is good. There is a six-story office building, two large laboratories and a factory building. In addition, there is a large green space in front of the office building, with some flowers and trees planted, and a pond dug in the middle, where a few fish swim. Drag it. The United States is good in this regard. If you want to put it in the country, the land is definitely not cheap.


    Song Wenrui''s research team has made good progress. There are three Chinese in the five-person group. They didn''t think about celebrating the Spring Festival at all during the holiday. They simply dealt with it with a simple meal and then continued to work. This is not only an opportunity, but also a platform to show their strength, so they will seize it.


    Efforts will naturally pay off, especially with the full technical support of Anfeng, and now they are considering the issue of mass production of graphene. A few years ago, the exfoliation rate of graphene was very low, and the exfoliation rate of 10% made the price of graphene soar to 1,000 RMB/gram, which is many times more expensive than gold, but now the price can be reduced to 6 yuan/gram , so the unscrupulous businessmen who do graphene futures will probably cry to death.


    But An Feng is taking a very unique path. He needs high-quality graphene, and requires a peeling rate of more than 90% from the graphite. Only high-quality graphene can cast good products. In this regard, the research team was very careful, and they always sought An Feng''s opinion for any doubts or disputes about the details.


    An Feng joined the team and participated in the experiment for three days, and the stripping technology was successful. Although graphene is not a big news in mass production now, for example, IBM has already skipped mass production and devoted itself to manufacturing graphene transistors. Graphene that meets Anfeng''s requirements, however, is at least now emerging.


    After the method of mass production is verified, other things can be considered. It''s like if you want to build high-rise buildings, at least there must be steel and concrete.


    An Feng put down his work and took the time to meet with the person in charge of the company who had just arrived.


    I haven��t seen it beforehand, but they unanimously agreed in the shareholder conference call. Anyway, it��s just the person in charge. It��s a mule or a horse that pulls it out for a walk first, and then changes it if it��s not suitable.


    In the conference room, several senior executives and bosses of the company gathered together, and the scene was very quiet. An Feng was flipping through the profile of the person in charge who was recommended: Benjamin Hawley, in his early fifties, before coming to GP, he was a senior executive in a computer company. A boss company has served as a vice president with rich experience and outstanding ability.


    There are several pages in the folder, and An Feng only reads the first few lines of the first page. Therefore, when writing a resume or showing something to the boss, it makes sense that it is best to complete one page. Too many are useless. An Feng looked up at him, a middle-aged man with short hair and simple glasses was sitting quietly.


    He was dressed in a suit and tie, and looked like a high-level corporate executive. An Feng looked at him calmly and exuded confidence. His resume stated that he had worked in two big companies, and he was usually arrogant. How about coming to this little-known company?


    An Feng asked bluntly: "Why do you want to come to this company, Mr. Hawley?"


    Facing the boss, Holly said confidently, "Because I believe in it, I am optimistic about this technology. In addition, my original company has not been able to give me enough challenges to give full play to my strength. I think here is the A chance to let go!"


    What an arrogant person! An Feng''s first feeling after listening. But what does it matter to him? It''s not that I work for him, as long as I have the ability, I can earn 10 billion, 100 billion for myself, even if he is actually a talking dog, so what? An Feng replied: Give him a few little female wolfberries!


    An Feng nodded: "You should know that the current research team has successfully obtained high-quality graphene by another method. What do you think about this?"


    Hawley thought for a while and said: "It shows that the company has strong research capabilities, which reassures shareholders, but as far as I know, mass production of graphene is only the first step. The most important thing is to firmly hold the patent rights in hand. Make it impossible for competitors to imitate, and then step by step from easy to difficult..."


    Hawley can say very well that according to his idea, while the company is researching, it should not give other companies cheap, and should occupy all the big heads, from batteries, chips to sensors, touch panels... Maybe the final results cannot be produced, but The patent is in hand, you can play it if you want, and pay for it.


    An Feng listened to some of Huo Li''s thoughts, and felt that this person has great goals, ambitions, high expectations, and pays attention to details, and does not have high requirements for salary��for the time being, because he said that if he does well, he will ask for more. Original stock, not that poor salary.


    An Feng agreed: "As long as you do a good job and keep the company profitable, the original stock is fine."


    "Then we have a happy cooperation!" Holly stood up and shook hands with An Feng.


    ========


    At least twice the third time! ! Full of integrity! quack!

 Chapter 83： take care of yourself

    Chapter 83 Take care of yourself


    An Feng later held a meeting with his own technical group and the technical group of the technical group to discuss some research and development directions for the next stage of graphene.


    There are many, many things, An Feng swears��it was hypocritical to say a lot before, but compared with now, the sincerity is not much. You can refer to the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties experienced by a processor chip from the beginning of stripping the silicon to the subsequent manufacturing. The same is true for graphene, and it still takes a path that no one has ever walked before (except for himself), and there are too many doorways in it...


    As an aggressive enterprise that wants to create new chips and subvert the existing model, the small computers currently in use are still Big Blue''s. They are equipped with IBM''s power7 processors, which have strong performance and sell for more than 100,000 U.S. dollars. More than one is needed.


    At that time, An Feng thought it would be enough to bring a laptop, but no matter how powerful Intel''s Core technology is, it can only compete with AMD in the field of microcomputers. For real enterprise-level, national-level, and even aerospace applications, blue The color giant is still invincible.


    So IBM is going to do something with the computer or the server, hehe...


    Song Wenrui told him: "It would be better if there is a large computer."


    An Feng asked: "How many meters is the size?"


    Song Wenrui pushed the glasses: "The cheap ones are hundreds of thousands, and the good ones are from IBM, which cost millions of dollars."


    "Damn!" An Feng was furious. For the sake of the future, he took it: "Buy it if you need it, and wait for the chip to come out later, then refurbish it and sell it back to profiteers!"


    Song Wenrui admired the courage of the boss, but he said: "Actually, we don''t need to buy everything. IBM is very close to us. If there is a cooperative relationship, we can borrow it."


    Following, An Feng found himself in a corner.


    It is not necessary to get the chip out first. Graphene can be used in a wide range of fields, and there are many aspects that are easier than chips. The ability to mass-produce graphene with excellent quality proves that other research and development can also be carried out at the same time. The key to what Benjamin Hawley said��


    "Get the patent first!" An Feng made a decision at the meeting.


    For their technology of mass production of graphene alone, there are more than 20 patents that can be applied for after research. If it is not for the existence of funny comparisons that are not allowed by the law, Hawley even hopes to "how many times did the technicians go on the way of research and development?" "Step" is also written into the patent, allowing imitators to hop on one foot in the future.


    An Feng felt that "the technician went to the toilet several times during the research and development" could also be included.


    Followed by experiment, meeting, experiment, meeting... lasted a week.


    At the same time, the company recruited a group of employees, and the number has increased to about 200 at present, ranging from those who clean the bathroom to those who wipe the sweat of the big boss.


    This... The working environment requires such a thing that the big boss has no time to wipe his sweat.


    When An Feng returned to his office exhausted, looking at the pile of documents on the desk and not knowing how to organize them, he realized that he needed an assistant.


    John is far away in California, and is responsible for the work of the research center and Tailan. It would be great if he had a clone, and he only needs to pay one salary.


    It would be better if you have a clone, and you don''t have to pay anything.


    Pressing the internal dedicated red phone, An Feng said concisely: "Who is in the personnel department, arrange for me to recruit assistants, be smart and capable, and work hard without complaint."


    In the afternoon, the big boss will continue to go into battle.


    When doing these things, he feels a bit like playing military chess. What kind of regiment commander, brigade commander and division commander meet each other on a narrow road, and whoever has a high official position will eat him... But the reality is usually like this: a certain soldier knocked down a general with a big belly . It''s a pity that he lives in unreality and is destined to be black like Iron Man.


    Besides, his work takes up 99%, so he still has to pretend in the end, how to pretend? It''s like the master solved an extremely complicated equation and simplified it to the last step: 1+1=? When asking questions, he had to pretend that he didn''t know how to do it, and let the researchers try to follow the train of thought, and then the answer was equal to 2.


    He applauded warmly: "Thank you! Comrades!"


    The five people in the first group had proud smiles on their tired faces, as if they were really working hard to solve this equation, and they were full of confidence in the future. Then they passed on the content taught by An Feng to their assistants, each of them was responsible for a small part of it, and worked at the same time, and finally summarized the results.


    An Feng finally relaxed, the meeting will be two days later.


    An Feng has said enough these days. He is leaning on the chair and ready to speak. If he is Hawking, he can move his fingers, and Didi can express his meaning without opening his mouth... He said: "After the research by the technical team , decided to divide the R&D department of the company into several groups, the largest being graphene batteries and graphene chipsets, and the rest of solar cells, sensors, composite materials...these are divided into subgroups."


    In terms of profitability, the largest market is chips and batteries. Needless to say, chips are in great demand in the high-tech era, as are batteries. When the price of oil soars to $1,000 per barrel, everyone will love electricity. And graphene batteries can make everyone fall in love with it in advance.


    In terms of difficulty, the chip is obviously much more difficult than the battery. So Anfeng focused on the battery. It doesn''t have as many worries about chips, such as single-crystal graphene, band gap, on-off ratio, egg-painful electron migration, and a manufacturing process below 10 nanometers. Graphene batteries are relatively simple, and the market is not small.


    "Got it?" An Feng looked around, his eyes fixed on Benjamin, "Next, our CEO will speak and make plans."


    Another meaning is: My work is over.


    Although Anfeng only stayed for more than ten days, it has shortened the ten years of everyone''s technical exploration. The predecessors worked hard to plant trees, and the descendants should consider how to enjoy the shade.


    Before An Feng drifted away, he took care of one last thing.


    Assistant for his supervisor.


    He doesn''t really want to go there in person for everything, and the air ticket costs money, let alone a business jet now. In this way, you can��t do BOSS, some simple things, when the assistant calls, he hums a few times, the assistant ahh, walks around the company with Shang Fang��s sword... This is how John in Los Angeles works.


    After the first round of interviews, the interviewer put the information of several applicants on his desk. An Feng simply flipped through them. The first one is not for a man, the second one is too fat, the third one is mean... In fact, the assistant ability he needs is second to none, the most important thing is to understand what the boss thinks.


    John has done a good job, so he has a lot of salary rewards and a good life. An Feng finally left a resume with the name in the column: Eve Ludlow.


    They met in the chairman''s office a day later.


    Black hair and brown eyes, professional attire, not tall. Before he was used to not having the best Katilina around him, women were not taller than 1.8 meters. The figure is average, and the reason is the same as above. It smells good... It''s a perfume, a very elegant fragrance, for working women.


    An Feng asked: "Do you know what secretary assistants usually do?"


    Miss Ludlow straightened her waist: "Do what the boss wants you to do."


    An Feng was stunned. He wanted to test her professional knowledge... Okay, but this answer is also very good. He pointed to the information on the other side of the table: "Then help me sort it out."


    "No problem." Miss Ludlow turned around to do it. She organized and classified different types of documents, and then finished the classification with skillful eyes and quick eyes. It took less than an hour before and after. An Feng once wondered if he could do it well in three days, and now he knew the answer.


    cannot.


    So there are secretaries and assistants in the world.

    After explaining some details to his secretary, Ms. Ludlow, An Feng went back to the hotel to pack his luggage the next day, and took the business jet that had been prepared to retreat.


    The R&D work is on the right track. The focus is on batteries and chips. The technology is already in place. As for the management of other aspects of the company, Benjamin Hawley will be in charge. If this is not done well, he should pack up and go home tomorrow. The final conclusion is: it''s cool not to have your own business.


    In order to fulfill his dream of ordering an airplane, An Feng plans to change to a different type of business jet every time he travels. This time too, Angela dutifully fulfilled despite the outlandish request. He rented a Hawker 850XP business jet produced by Hawker Beechcraft Company. It is a luxurious medium-sized jet with a range of more than 5,000 kilometers. Chair experience.


    It took more than four hours to arrive in Los Angeles, and it took half a day to go to the research center to deal with some things. This time it was relatively easy. The test on the weight-loss drug was almost over, and the effect was remarkable. In addition, HG, a pharmaceutical company in the United States, was very interested in these two drugs and was planning to negotiate the transfer.


    An Feng mainly discussed some details with John, whether to exchange money directly or exchange shares.


    John suggested that he change shares, because the weight-loss drug market is huge and the effect is quick. It is no problem to earn hundreds of millions in a year or two, but if it is sold directly, the cash he can get is not much. Two and a half years, so there is still plenty of time.


    "Just discuss with them about the exchange of shares, you are in charge." An Feng patted John on the shoulder, and went upstairs to check the construction progress of the apron after nothing happened.


    Can be used for at most one month. When the time comes, I will be able to fly directly from two points in a straight line like those tycoons in the movie, without having to think about landing locations, traffic jams, parking costs, etc. It would be even better if Tailan also had an apron, which can be reached directly by air, and there is no need to go on the road.


    "Or build a portal, and don''t even need the plane." An Feng said to Gu Li.


    Gu Li was speechless.


    Lazy thoughts have corroded the whole body, An Feng has been tired for more than ten days in Texas, and now the thing he hates the most is work! Most of all, he hopes to find a place where no one is around, where the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, lying quietly on the soft green grass, the warm sunshine above his head shines on his body through the branches, and he feels warm... If he can still see a like-minded person when he turns his head Girl, there will be no regrets in this life.


    It''s a pity that money is often found, but true love is hard to find... An Feng transferred to Santa Monica Airport and took a nap in the back row of the Mercedes-Benz. Gu Li consciously didn''t wake him up. An Feng is really busy these days, and he even thought that , that lazy guy who likes to be lazy in everything has changed his gender.


    After sleeping for half an hour, Fred stopped the plane.


    This time I flew the inland route, the beauty of the sea and the sky is already a little tired of An Feng, and now I want to lie down by the window and quietly look at the fields and the earth below. It would be even better if the window could be opened. Suddenly, I thought of a joke : During the flight, a certain nouveau riche felt bored and asked the flight attendant to open the window for ventilation.


    Fred heard this, and laughed: "But the helicopter is totally fine, because it is slow, and the pressure difference caused is not as serious as that of a large aircraft."


    Proceeding along Highway 5, the land in the central part of California is flat and the fields are vast. It is said that the tomatoes produced in California are seriously saturated every year, and they will even be given to neighboring states to play tomato wars. Anfeng��s tomato fertilizer does not seem to have a big market in California... Not talking about work, An Feng stared down and exclaimed, "Look! Crop circles!"


    Fred and Guri, who were flying the plane, both looked down at the same time. In addition to those square fields, there were also very standard circular farmlands, which looked like performance art made by imaginative farmers, but Fred Cope said: "This is not a crop circle. It uses something called a ''central rotation irrigation system''. It rotates around the center point to form a circle."


    "COOL!" An Feng said.


    He stared at the circles below, which seemed very small in the air, but in fact they were at least 500 meters in diameter, and the larger circles were even one kilometer. In China, when talking about farmers, it represented poverty and backwardness in knowledge, but in the United States it represented Wealthy and landowners. As for the farmland below, any piece of land is worth millions.


    Counting the crop circles all the way back home, flipped through the memo on the phone, drove the pickup truck out again, and walked to the city. The target gun shop, last time he ordered a sniper rifle: Steyr SSG69, .308 caliber Military-spec goods are expensive, costing more than ten thousand dollars.


    Moreover, its supply is very small, and it is usually sold out by gun fans when it appears. If you are not familiar with Jerry, the guy in the gun shop, it is really difficult to get your hands on it. The car stopped at the door of the gun shop, went in and said hello to Jerry, and couldn''t wait to watch him take out the packing box.


    "Take care of your baby!" Jerry said with a smile. Anyone who loves guns knows how rare this green gun is, and it is the best choice for collecting or fighting.


    An Feng unwrapped the package, and the gun was still wrapped in plastic. It was torn apart a little bit, and it felt like gun oil. Its shape was not very attractive, and the gun body was painted grass green. At first glance, it looked more like a shotgun, but it was ugly. The guy has deadly accuracy, can easily hit 1MOA accuracy at a distance of 300 yards, or even 0.5MOA, it may be the most accurate 7.62mm sniper rifle, a deadly killer.


    While he was fascinated by playing, a voice came from behind: "Hi, Bruce!"


    An Feng turned his head and saw Joanna smiling, with her stepfather Frank beside her. An Feng put down his gun and greeted them: "Hi, hello!"


    "Hello, Bruce!" Frank looked at the gun he bought, and praised: "SSG69, a rare good thing! Order 308 caliber?"


    "Of course, this is enough for a man!" An Feng said.


    Frank smiled: "Agreed!"


    Joanna said: "Frank and I are here to buy some bullets and clothing. We plan to go hunting in the hunting ground tomorrow. Are you interested?"


    "Of course, if possible." An Feng said happily that he had planned this for a long time, but he had no time and no one to accompany him.


    "No problem, it''s lively when there are many people!" Joanna said happily.


    Frank mentioned: "Have you got a hunting license? If not, it doesn''t matter. We are going to a private hunting ground, and no one checks it."


    "I have a hunting license, and I have accumulated ten hours of courses in the previous few times, so I passed the exam early." An Feng said.


    "That''s easy. It''s basically no problem to buy some licenses." Frank said that hunting requires not only a license, but also a license. The tickets for flying birds, waterfowl, and large game are different. Even fishing requires a fishing license. , and it also stipulates where fishing must be done.


    Not only in California, but in the United States, hunting laws are very strict. Whether it is a public hunting ground or a private hunting ground, except for some rabbits and squirrels, you need any license to hunt, and you can��t hunt at any time. Many wild animals are divided into seasons, such as In December, no turkey is allowed, even if it passes in front of you, and in spring, you cannot shoot deer that has no horns on its head, otherwise it will be illegal.


    What��s more, for example, after you kill a deer, you still follow the principle of ��don��t eat, don��t kill��. It is illegal to kill indiscriminately, and the prey you kill can only be used by relatives and friends, and it is illegal to use it for commercial purposes. Finally, you need to record what gun you use and when you kill the prey, which needs to be reported.


    It''s not a problem for An Feng, he''s just here to join in the fun, it would be nice if he could shoot a wild boar, wild boars are open all year round, and some dead deer that are often killed by crossing the road are also allowed at this time hunting. This sniper rifle seems to have come at a good time.


    Joanna reminded him: "Remember to buy some hunting equipment and go back. The temperature over there is relatively low, and there is no need to prepare tents and the like. Private hunting grounds live in wooden houses."


    According to Joanna''s instructions, An Feng bought some water bottles, round-brimmed hats, gloves, a set of jungle camouflage clothes covered with leaves, a set of ordinary camouflage clothes, and finally added 300 rounds of bullets to the sniper rifle , agreed to meet with them at the intersection of Xiaocheng the next day.

 Chapter 85： private hunting ground

    Chapter 85 Private Hunting Ground


    When I went back, I asked Gu Li if he was interested in hunting, but there was no need to say much. After packing up the gear and putting it away, rest for one night and get up on time the next day. If it is mechanical repetitive work, An Feng is not interested at all, but if it is this kind of outdoor leisure and enjoyment, he is full of energy.


    Guri has neither a hunting license nor a hunting ticket, but it doesn��t matter much, because the hunting location is in a private hunting ground, and everyone has a hunting ticket. An Feng''s weapons are Remington 870 shotgun and SSG69. The state law stipulates the extent to which weapons are used for hunting, such as hunting birds, pheasants, turkeys and the like with shotguns; killing deer, wild boars and the like with semi-automatic, and everyone generally chooses sniper rifles, of course, semi-automatic assault rifles do not Wrong, you have to consider the limit of three bullets.


    Guri only uses one gun, a Remington 700 series sniper rifle. Although he does not have an AK-47 or SVD for him to use, it is more than enough for hunting. Facts have proved that An Feng thinks too much. In fact, the main purpose of hunting is leisure, a group of people get together to eat barbecue... rather than survival in the wilderness.


    After moving the equipment to the back of the pickup truck, Pippi and Dandan also jumped onto the back seat excitedly, squatted on the chair and stuck out their tongues. Since they bought them, they rarely have the opportunity to go to the forest. Of course, the vineyard is also the same for them. Big enough to catch mice before. After lowering the windows a bit, let''s go.


    Meeted with the main force at the agreed intersection, there were quite a few people, including Joanna and her family, and even Andy put on a camouflage outfit. The old cowboy Mark''s family is also in place. I heard that they are very keen on hunting, and the equipment they have prepared is very complete. Their daughter Mary followed.


    "Mary, are you going too?" An Feng said, the little girl was still in high school, and she even set off with her little teddy in her arms, maybe the little teddy would become the prey of wild wolves.


    "Hey, I can shoot when I''m ten!" Mary pouted.


    OK, China is indeed no match for Americans in this regard. Touching a gun at a young age, full of murderous intent... An Feng and Gu Li got into the car and set off.


    Going out to hunt generally requires a high-chassis and high-horsepower car. Frank drives a very large full-size SUV, Mark is a Chevrolet pickup, and An Feng is also a pickup, driving on the straight road. Turn on the music on the radio, and relax all the way.


    On the wide road, there are few vehicles coming and going, and the road is straight. Nearly 100 kilometers are driven in the wide fields, and there are rich rural scenery everywhere. The straight and endless scene most often encountered in driving in the west, the speed of the car can always be maintained at about seventy miles.


    Speed ??limits don''t matter anymore, there are no cameras on the road, and you can drive all day without seeing the police. Talking about the United States with Gu Li, when it comes to speed limits, Nevada is very interesting. On Route 375 near Area 51, the speed limit of the state law is warp 7 (more than 600 times the speed of light)��of course, specifically referring to aircraft .


    American highways also have one of the most obvious features: toll booths. Of course there are toll stations in the United States, but they are very few. Most of them are concentrated in the east, and there are almost no toll stations in the west. An Feng has lived for so long, and has encountered toll booths in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The fees are very low. They charge according to the peak and low peaks, ranging from a few dollars to more than ten dollars.


    It took more than an hour to arrive in Madeira County and continue to drive to the mountains. The road behind is all dirt road, not flat, but it can''t stop the high chassis car. After 20 minutes of bumps, the flat land gradually disappears and is replaced by patches of dense forest, green everywhere, and the air is clear and natural.


    In the end, everyone stopped by the wooden house on the side of the road. The house was not too small, it was two stories high, and there was a Ford pickup parked outside the door. After everyone parked their cars, Frank Sassen introduced each other to each other. . An Feng greeted Paul, the owner of the tree farm, and exchanged some pleasantries. Paul is a middle-aged Caucasian man in his forties, with red skin and a very cheerful personality. Whether he is a stranger or an acquaintance, he is warmly hugged.


    The wooden house is surrounded by tall and straight trees. There is a large flat green area outside the house, where fresh and tender grass grows freely. There are some leisure tables and chairs on the grass, as well as a set of real charcoal barbecue utensils. Next to it is an RV that was common in the United States in the 1980s and 1990s, but it has been scrapped, the tires are gone, and the bare metal wheels are left. Paul also built a few swings next to it, which is the favorite of the girls.


    An Feng picked up the camera to take pictures. This is a typical pleasant rural scenery. He wakes up in the morning and breathes the freshest air. He goes outside and stretches himself, letting the sun shine on his body. He occasionally takes a few children to play on the grass. Strolling, swaying on the swing... No, Miss Mary aimed at the quad bike parked by the side of the road as soon as she got out of the car, rode it, started it with a snap, and spun around on the grass with a smile.


    Paul and his wife brought out some snacks and entertained everyone to sit in the shade of the tree to taste, first to replenish their physical strength and prepare for today''s activities.


    This area is a natural planting area, far away from the city, with beautiful scenery, and there are countless wild animals living there. The government allows hunting, partly because of controlling the ecological balance, and also for increasing income. In terms of hunting license alone, local residents charge $50, while out-of-state residents need about $300, a six-fold gap, but it still attracts domestic and foreign tourists every year.


    Paul is a business executive. He bought a large piece of land around here as a private hunting ground. The area is about a thousand acres, which is very vast. Private means that only friends can come in and hunt, others are trespassing. In this case, hunting supervision is ineffective.


    After eating snacks and making some adjustments, everyone changed their equipment and dressed in various outfits. Paul was actually wearing bright red, so bright. Is this still hunting? However, there are also professional ones like Mark, who have all kinds of hunting clothes, hunting guns in their hands, and 12-gauge shotguns in their waist pockets.


    An Feng put on a "leaf outfit" for himself, and then picked up his phone to take a photo. If you lie on your stomach in a pile of dead trees, you really can''t tell.


    Everyone was taking photos of their companions with their cameras. An Feng held a sniper rifle in the most unusual shape and grabbed a lot of shots. He went to look at everyone''s equipment, each with its own characteristics. Joanna''s dress was not that complicated, with scratch-resistant overalls and a pair of boots. She didn''t use a gun, but a set of compound bows.


    "Hi! Can you still play bow and arrow?" An Feng walked up to her.


    Joanna looked at him, covered her mouth and laughed: "I''m sorry, you remind me of the little friend I couldn''t find when I was playing hide-and-seek when I was young."


    "Haha!" An Feng also laughed, "Is he hiding in the leaves?"


    "That''s right, I''ve been looking for it for a long time!" Joanna nodded, and showed An Feng her bow: "I''m more used to bows and arrows. Although it''s big, it''s actually much lighter than a gun. This bow is only 2.5" kg, with my 27-inch saw, the maximum and minimum pulling force is 30-60 pounds, and an arrow weighs about 20 grams, which is very useful.��


    An Feng took the bow and arrow, the weight was indeed very light, half lighter than the gun he was carrying on his back, and he tried to draw the bow. He had never played with these before, and he didn''t know how to use it, but it is said that skilled archers have better hunting effect than guns. It''s okay, and it''s still hidden and silent. I don''t know if Joanna is.


    I always feel that she is particularly good at sports in these money-burning high schools.


    After the preparations, everyone set off and entered the mountain. In fact, there is no such thing as going into the mountains. As soon as you leave the wooden house, you will be surrounded by a quiet jungle. Occasionally, there will be some birds chirping, and then the silence will return. The local weather is different from the coastal areas of California. It is still a bit cold here, so you need to wear a coat just right.


    An Feng looked around with sharp eyes, holding a sniper rifle that was about to be loaded in his hand, with his finger next to the trigger, and stepped on the grass carefully. A large group of people behind him chatted and laughed, and took pictures with their cameras. Little Andy said Biting potato chips, Mary hugged Teddy and chatted with her companions.


    "What a failure!" An Feng sighed, can everyone be more professional? Is this hunting or picnicking?


    Joanna, who tweeted while there was still a signal, followed up. Hearing what An Feng said, she smiled and said, "I was in the same mood as you when I was hunting for the first time."


    "Really?" An Feng looked at her.


    "Well, it''s full of freshness, imitating strange postures. In fact, professional hunters come here no matter how comfortable they are. Have you seen Paul? He is a master at hunting bears and wild boars. Is it still a fall? In the back, helping the lady up the hill, or playing with the kids?"


    An Feng glanced back, and Paul, who was dressed in bright red, was chatting with his friends with a smile. Even Gu Li was very interested in his topic.


    "I can''t tell!" An Feng thought that people should not be judged by their appearance.


    He asked again: "Joanna, what achievements have you had?"


    "A lot." Joanna thought for a while, "When I was still in England, the most common thing was fox hunting. Everyone rode horses and took thirty or forty fox dogs to chase the fox. If the hounds didn''t kill the fox. , we would ride on horses and shoot them with bows and arrows, and of course with guns."


    "Fox hunting? Awesome!" An Feng has heard a little bit that the British fox hunting sport was originally only played by the royal family, and later it was opened to the nobles. It is very lively every year and consumes countless manpower and financial resources. It''s worth a lot of money, as well as foxhounds, equipment, venues, hired workers and so on.


    "Fox hunting is full of people." Joanna remembered, "It''s no longer possible now. Protection organizations and laws prohibit these activities, but after coming to the United States, there are such an environment. Unfortunately, not many people have this organization and strength. Go play. Besides, I have shot and killed a few deer with a bow and arrow!"


    "A lot of split corners?" An Feng asked.


    "Yes, that''s the kind!" Joanna nodded.


    "I''m so envious, I want to kill one too." An Feng said, but it''s a pity that it''s not a good season for deer hunting.


    "There will be a chance, next time I will call you." Joanna said.


    "Okay." After An Feng finished speaking, he turned his eyes, and two bold deer came out of the grass in front of him. They looked like black-tailed deer, they were still very young, and there were no splits on their heads. When they appeared, everyone''s first reaction Instead of touching the gun, he took the camera, click click, the deer jumped and jumped and escaped.


    "Can''t kill." An Feng said disappointedly, it''s not the season.


    "Don''t worry, there are wild boars!" Joanna encouraged him with a smile.


    "Yes, there are wild boars!" An Feng raised the sniper rifle in his hand. There are three bullets in it, because California only gives you three bullets. Why? You have to give your prey a chance to escape, right?


    After walking for more than ten minutes, I came to a flat land in the forest. The top of my head was shaded by trees, which was very shady. There were several big bags hanging on the tree. An Feng looked curiously and saw that Paul and the others took down the bags and opened them. It turned out to be a set of tents. The tents were set up on the spot, and a small corner was opened, where you could sit and hold your guns. Keep a day.


    "Just guard like this?" An Feng asked puzzled.


    Paul said with a smile: "This is the most labor-saving way. Of course, you can also take the initiative to find it, but with so many women, you have to give them a camp, right?"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 86： Hunting wild boar【Third update】

    Chapter 86 Wild Boar Hunting��Third update��


    As a result, he played around for a day and gained very little. An Feng hid in the tent and took aim with a sniper rifle for a long time, maybe thirty or forty minutes. Boil, but can be in a daze - but found not many, and some are also deer. There are quite a lot of small animals. Birds, rabbits and squirrels can be seen everywhere. These can be killed all year round, but killing squirrels at the door will do. Why come here?


    Everyone wandered around, chatting and laughing, and took turns to climb up to the observation deck for hunting. But to change the environment, being in the forest and walking aimlessly is also considered relaxing.


    The two hounds I brought were very excited, and they never stopped jumping up and down. When the two guys came back halfway, their mouths were full of blood. Everyone followed and killed a few dingy wild rabbits. I went back to bake it, but found that everyone was not interested, so I didn''t mention it.


    Later, the mothers took their children back home and had enough fun. They also fired a few shots and hit rocks on the way, which is a great harvest for the children. The only ones left are the men who are going to make big moves, and Joanna. With a bow on her back, she checks the pistol bullets, and she does not give in to men.


    Paul put down the binoculars, climbed down from the observation deck on the tree, and said to everyone: "Probably there may be animal activities in the northwest direction. There have been a lot of wild boars recently. Be careful when you act, load your shotguns and rifles, and don''t let them go." Get closer to the wild boar!"


    Don��t think that wild boars are weak if they carry the word ��pig��. When this guy is crazy, he might even dare to fight a lion. An Feng once watched a documentary, saying that the wild boars in Australia were flooded, and the government hired hunters to hunt them down. Its back is too hard for even a small-bore shotgun to penetrate.


    Hunting wild boars is not as easy as hunting bears, the level of excitement is comparable, and because of their small size, they are difficult to shoot. So Paul recommends that everyone load the guns first, and then conduct simple grouping. Some excellent hunters are used to being in groups, while others like to be alone, but now that the distance is close, it doesn''t matter if they are grouped.


    An Feng and Joanna were together. It was his first time hunting with a gun. He had chased wild boars with adults in his hometown before, but he hadn��t experienced it himself, so he was a little nervous. Joanna has dared to hunt foxes on horseback since she was a child. She has rich experience and is better than An Feng, so An Feng follows her, so everyone can rest assured.


    Everyone scattered, Joanna chose a direction: "Let''s go this way!"


    An Feng followed, with a sniper rifle in his hand and a shotgun on his back. It was a bit heavy. Elite hunters generally don��t carry extra items that affect their actions, but there is no place to put them now. Perhaps Pipi and Dandan sensed that the hunt was about to start, so they followed their master obediently without making a sound. Joanna took a few glances and praised: "It really is a pure-blooded hound with an innate instinct!"


    Stop and go, the speed is not very fast, and occasionally come back. Joanna sat on a rock to rest, took a sip of water, and said, "Hunting depends on luck and patience. It''s better to stay where you are when you walk around. You can see it from Paul''s tent. He knows how to save energy and patience."


    An Feng was about to say something, when he saw Joanna stop moving and slowly put down the kettle, her eyes were fixed in one direction. An Feng followed her gaze and looked at the bushes about a hundred meters away. There was movement in the air, which could not be seen clearly with the naked eye. An Feng immediately picked up the sniper rifle to observe.


    In the zoomed-in field of view, An Feng saw a faint brown shadow swaying in the grass, but due to the low terrain on his side, his vision was obstructed, so he stared at it for dozens of seconds without blinking, and after confirming that it was a living thing , he whispered to Joanna: "It looks like a wild boar!"


    Joanna looked in that direction, then looked around, and shook her head: "We are in a low place, there is no suitable shooting point, and we need a wide shooting range."


    "Over there!" An Feng pointed to another direction, a low slope, but there was an unobstructed flat land along the way, and it was easy to be exposed when people walked over it.


    "Are you going to climb over?" Joanna guessed what An Feng was thinking.


    "Of course, have you forgotten what my camouflage suit is for?" An Feng took out the camouflage leaf hood from his body, put it on and lay down on the ground, just like a pile of weeds. Joanna admired: "I didn''t expect that your clothes would really come in handy."


    "Look at mine!" An Feng proudly took off the shotgun and handed it to Joanna: "Hold it carefully, just in case."


    Joanna took the gun and held down the restless hound, not minding his class making an axe. I saw An Feng lying on the ground, crawling forward with his sniper rifle in his arms. He used to move with his **** up, but Gu Li corrected it. The focus is to use the strength of his inner thighs and elbows, fast and steady.


    An Feng tried his best to be careful, implying in his heart that he was a small grass...Crawled to the high point without incident, there was a pile of rocks on the ground, it was uncomfortable to hold the gun while lying on his stomach, An Feng changed to a kneeling position, the barrel of the sniper rifle was a bit long , Maintaining this posture for a long time requires physical strength and endurance, but fortunately, the target has appeared.


    Staring at the scope, the distance is about 100 meters, no other adjustments are required, the sniper rifle scope uses the default magnification at this distance, the swaying figure in the grass becomes clear, An Feng moves the crosshairs to it, Seeing this guy rubbing against the tree, he was so happy.


    At a distance of about 100 meters, the bullets fired by a 1MOA precision sniper rifle have a dispersion circle no larger than 3.5 cm in diameter. The size of wild boars far exceeds this standard. The "guided weapons" on the vehicle can also easily hit the target.


    An Feng held his breath and kept his vision steady. When the wild boar rubbed back for the second time, he pulled the trigger��there was a loud "bang", his ears roared, and the tip of his nose was filled with the smell of gunpowder. In the jumping scope, that The brown figure fell to the ground, but got up and ran wildly after half a second!


    As a novice, he was completely affected by the movement of the outside world when shooting, so he didn''t have time to continue loading the gun. After the wild boar ran away, An Feng hurriedly pulled the trigger, pushed the bullet into the chamber, and moved his eyes to aim again. When the mirror was turned on, the black shadow in the woods had already run away.


    Then according to the black shadow, the trigger was pulled, and a cloud of dust rose from the ground in the distance, but it missed.


    Joanna heard the sound of gunshots, and when the wild boar was shot, she was experienced and determined that the prey could not run very far, so she pushed the two hounds and pointed forward: "Chasing!"


    After the voice fell, Pipi and Dandan smartly chased in the direction she pointed, and Joanna shouted to An Feng: "Hurry up!"


    An Feng was deaf and couldn''t hear clearly, but after seeing the hounds dispatched, he quickly followed. When passing by the position just now, there was a spurt of blood on the ground. The first bullet did hit the wild boar, but the guy had strong vitality and managed to escape. There were bloodstains along the way, and the two hounds ran faster and faster, roaring constantly.


    An Feng held his gun and chased after him. The weeds and trees on the road were stained with blood. He followed the sound of hunting dogs and kept chasing forward. After passing a downhill road, surrounded by weeds, the sound was far away, and suddenly a black shadow flashed However, An Feng''s eyes lit up, there was no doubt that it was his hound, and the direction was right.


    Being too excited to look at the road carefully, An Feng looked at the large grass in front of him without hesitation, and stepped on it��empty! By the time his brain reacted, he had lost his center of gravity and fell forward, plopping along the slope, pressing down on the weeds and falling to the ground. Fortunately, the terrain is not high.


    He spit a mouthful of saliva on the ground, and just got up to look for the gun, and heard rustling voices from above, and just wanted to remind him, he just opened his mouth when he heard a soft cry, Joe Anna, a veteran, also stepped on the air and rolled down the slope.


    An Feng rushed over to catch it, and Joanna fell into her arms. The two of them fell to the ground together. An Feng was hit by her and coughed heavily. They all said how beautiful the action of catching a beautiful woman was in the movie. All I felt was abruptness and pain, and I was in no mood to think about anything else.


    The two got up and sat on the ground, An Feng panted and laughed, "Hi, what a coincidence!"


    "How embarrassing!" Joanna blushed for her mistake, stood up by herself, and reached out to An Feng. Ahead: "It is estimated to be in this direction, and the voice of the hunting dog can still be heard!"


    They continued to pursue, but they were much more careful now.


    When the hounds and wild boars were found, the battle had already started at the bottom of a slope. The wild boars ran all the way, blood splashed all over the ground, and were chased by two tall and mighty hounds. Fighting, two hounds kept trying to attack it around it.


    Looking at it from a close distance, this wild boar is really strong, at least weighing more than two hundred catties. The four terrifying fangs are turned outwards, and they keep bumping against the hounds who want to get close to it. However, the wild boar is already at the end of its strength. The hole was bleeding continuously, and a section of intestines was exposed.


    An Feng stopped, there was still a bullet in the chamber, so close enough for him to shoot and kill the wild boar, before he shot, he shouted: "Come back!"


    When Pippi and Eggy heard the sound, they hesitated for a moment, gave up attacking the prey and ran back. An Feng shot, and a **** hole was dug in the wild boar''s neck again. The huge kinetic energy of the bullet knocked it to the ground. The blood burst out a few meters away, but this guy turned around and jumped up to chase after An Feng.


    Those thick fangs and crazy eyes conveyed its anger.


    The magazine was empty, An Feng retreated quickly, and reached out to touch the bullets. Two hounds surrounded him again, one biting the leg and the other biting the neck, trying to bring the wild boar down.


    The wild boar flew a hound, and flew a few meters in front of An Feng.


    At such a close distance, even a gun is useless��just then, Joanna arrived, her eyes were calm, she leaned sideways, drew the bow and stringed it, and shot an arrow at the wild boar, the arrow hit the stomach, screaming Due to excessive bleeding, the wild boar was pierced by a bow and arrow, and fell to the ground after being thrown a few meters.


    The Hound pounced on it.


    After An Feng loaded the bullet and loaded the gun, the wild boar whose neck was bitten by the hound had stopped moving. He stepped forward with his gun and poked the wild boar with the barrel to make sure that it would not jump up again, and the hunt was a complete success. He high-fived Joanna and cheered, "Congratulations! What a big guy!"

 Chapter 87： to invite

    Chapter 87 Invitation


    An Feng was overjoyed when he brought down a big guy for the first time hunting. Of course, Joanna''s contribution was also indispensable. If it weren''t for her sharp eyes, An Feng, a novice, would never be able to find wild boars, nor would he be able to kill his prey. He knelt beside the boar with his gun in hand and asked Joanna to take a picture of him, and she posed with the prey with her bow.


    Shortly after the photo was taken, the partners from other directions rushed over following the sound of gunfire, and there was a burst of admiration when they found this huge wild boar. An Feng vividly described his feat of hunting just now, but of course ignored the oolong that the second shot was too late to load, and only said that the second shot missed.


    After speaking, he winked at Joanna.


    She smiled and didn''t expose An Feng''s little trick.


    Paul got an all-terrain vehicle from behind. Such a big wild boar could not be carried back, so it had to be placed on the front hood of the all-terrain vehicle, tied with a special rope, and then everyone slowly moved towards the wooden house. On the way, I met Frank who came to join us. After a burst of admiration, we returned together.


    Back to the cabin camp, other people watched and took pictures around the wild boar. Paul wrote some records of killing wild boars. Even in private hunting grounds, the cunning of the U.S. government is everywhere. This wild boar also needs a pig ticket, and he will find an opportunity to hand over the information to the local fish and hunting bureau in the future.


    Paul put away the pen and paper and applauded: "Let''s have a roast pig feast tonight!"


    That night, he sharpened his knife and slaughtered pigs. The legs were chopped off, the skin was peeled, and the internal organs were cleaned. Only the pig''s head was kept, and it was used for declaration later. Later, the last two people out hunting, Guli and Mark, also returned to the camp, and they also had a harvest, a dead coyote.


    Talking about the hunt, Mark was very emotional. He said that after they found the wolves, they chased them for more than a thousand meters. When the wolves were about to escape across the road, they were already out of breath, and they were going to give it a go. After panting smoothly, Gu Li opened fire, knocking down a she-wolf with one shot, and he was called a sharpshooter.


    Paul, an experienced veteran hunter, also admired Mark''s description. Generally, hunters need an adjustment process from chasing to shooting. If you are still panting, you can''t guarantee the accuracy of shooting, but Guli completed the aim as soon as he stopped running. From the shooting action, this technique may require continuous hard practice.


    Gu Li didn��t hide his secrets, he generously taught his adjustment tricks, the veteran hunters listened with gusto, and An Feng also understood a little bit. But to be honest, Guli''s technology is prepared for beating people. Where is Israel? The country where all the people are soldiers has been threatened by Arab countries since its establishment. They can only guarantee the safety of the nation if they are always in a state of fighting. And Guri had received security training there, so it was natural that the Israeli soldiers would take up guns to fight at any time.


    The bonfire party at night unfolded amidst the lively sound. Large pieces of wild pork were skewered, coated with oil and seasoning, and grilled on charcoal fire. A natural smell of barbecue wafted far away. People sang and danced around the fire, except for mosquitoes. Some things are too much... Everyone drinks and eats meat to their heart''s content, it''s so lively.


    Bite a large piece of roasted wild boar, the mouth is full of pure meat aroma, the lean meat is thick, and the skin is crispy and fragrant. Although the meat quality of more than two hundred catties of wild boar is old, the taste is still better than that of ordinary domestic pigs a lot of. The children''s faces were full of oil, and the two heroic hounds were full.


    ��


    It was a good evening amidst the merriment and noise.


    Although it was very comfortable to sleep wrapped in a blanket, An Feng was thinking about the beauty of the forest cabin in the morning, so he woke up at one o''clock the next day. He heard the sound of birdsong outside the house, which was crisp and moving. He also got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth with disposable cleaning utensils, and walked out of the house yawning.


    Standing at the door, stretching comfortably, looking up at the surroundings, the joyful dawn of the morning sprinkled on the green land, the trees were dyed yellow, the breeze was blowing, and taking a deep breath, the tip of the nose was full of the smell of damp dew. The growing wild flowers are competing to bloom, showing their vitality.


    "Good day!" An Feng stepped on the soft lawn and slowly came behind Joanna who was sitting on the swing gently rippling. Today she was wearing an elegant white dress, her blond hair was draped lazily on her shoulders, shaking gently with the cheerful singing of birds in the forest.


    The scenery is so beautiful, An Feng took out his mobile phone, but thinking that it might destroy the current nature and coordination, he picked up the mobile phone and put it back into his pocket. He watched quietly for a while, without disturbing the leisurely Joanna. Just listening to her humming a light tune is very pleasant.


    After a few minutes, Joanna turned her head and saw An Feng standing there behind him, with a warm smile on her face: "Hi! Good morning!"


    "Good morning!" An Feng walked towards her.


    "Aren''t you used to getting up so early?" Joanna tilted her head to look at him.


    An Feng shrugged: "I''m not that lazy, okay? Hearing someone singing softly, I felt very good, so I came out and listened, didn''t I bother you?"


    Joanna flicked the hair in front of her: "This is the swing song that my grandmother sang to me. When I was a child, I sat on the swing and she pushed it and sang it. Good memories."


    "This picture is very beautiful when I think about it." An Feng said. He also thought of his deceased grandmother, but unfortunately it was different from Joanna''s beauty. He was naughty when he was a child, he climbed up the tree and refused to come down.


    Joanna smiled: "Of course, childhood without any pressure, everything is always simple... How about you push me on the swing?"


    "Me?" An Feng pointed to himself.


    "Hmm, can''t you?" Joanna''s eyebrows were bent, looking very cute.


    "Haha, okay." An Feng stepped forward with a smile and gave her a slight push. Joanna straightened her calf, grabbed the two chains, and cheered.


    Every time she pushes hard, Joanna will let out a crisp laugh, the corners of her skirt are flying, and the laughter is full of laughter. This is a completely different side of her, a bit of a young girl''s heart, pure and lovely. An Feng was being infected by her emotions, and he seemed to be much younger, making noises carefree.


    Finally, they had had enough laughs and were tired of playing. They lay on the grass together, looking at the blue sky above their heads and the occasional birds flying by, talking about some endless things, and chatting about their respective childhoods. An Feng is mainly mischievous. He is good at digging out bird eggs from trees and fishing for fish and shrimps in rivers.


    Joanna also talked about her own. Although she has a good life, she often likes to hide the clothes she hates secretly. Bringing snacks and hiding under the covers to eat sounds like a little trick.


    An Feng looked up at the sky with his head on his pillow, and said, "If we could meet each other when we were young, it would be a perfect combination for mischief!"


    Joanna smiled: "I''m not as mischievous as you, okay? Scaring small animals and stealing mother bird''s eggs, you were the role model of bad guys in my childhood."


    An Feng didn''t believe her: "Little cute girl with blond hair and flat bangs, I don''t believe you don''t like taking care of small animals, it''s just that you didn''t meet me when you were young!"


    "No!" Joanna said.


    "Yes." An Feng smiled.


    "No! Just no!" Joanna kicked him.


    An Feng moved a bit, and said with a smile, "Okay, apparently not."


    "This is perfunctory!" Joanna turned to look at him.


    An Feng retreated: "Okay, whatever you say is what you say. Well, I suddenly thought of something, the last time I met an old lady..."


    An Feng told about Mrs. Sinclair, the point is that her grandparents may have had friendship with the old lady.


    Joanna heard it and yearned for it: "That should be it, but it''s a pity you didn''t ask her original surname. If there is a chance, I would like to be a guest."


    An Feng said: "You can do it anytime you want."


    Joanna said: "It will be at the end of March. The school will have a spring break on the 20th, and there will be five days off."


    An Feng has heard of the spring break in the United States. American universities generally have three holidays, winter, spring and summer. The spring break is determined by the schools in each state. It usually lasts about five to seven days, like our November holiday. According to the approximate date Joanna said, there is still one month left.


    "Okay, then we have made an agreement, and we will take you there if we have time." An Feng said.

 Chapter 88： auctions

    Chapter 88 Auction


    I lived in Paul''s private hunting ground for three days. Except for the first day''s results, Anfeng had nothing to gain in the next two days. Instead, he took a few girls to visit the mountains and rivers, looking at the scenery and taking pictures. During the period, they fired shots to scare them away. A couple of bold mule deer, who would have died if it hadn''t been too late.


    After three days of pleasant pastoral life, everyone packed their luggage, said goodbye to the owner of the hunting ground, and went back to their respective homes. Joanna went back to Berkeley to study, but she was about to graduate, and she had already completed her credits, and she didn''t have much to do. It was said that there was no surprise in her plan to continue her studies.


    An Feng is more laid-back than her, in a daze, sleeping late and basking in the sun, and occasionally attending flight school courses... Until two weeks later, the negotiation between John and HG came out, and there were two options. First: the other party reached an agreement with him on two patents transfer, according to the valuation in exchange for 5% of the other company''s shares.


    The second type: no shares, but a 25% share of the sales of weight-loss drugs, and an additional 5 million US dollars to Anfeng.


    For a listed company with a market value of more than one billion, this is an extra price they offered, which is enough to prove the courage of the other party and John''s boldness. An Feng considered for a second, and decided to choose the latter option. What can a 5% stake do? And the 25% share of diet pills is amazing!


    An Feng put on a suit and walked towards the helicopter parked in the yard. Gu Li was dressed in a black suit with sunglasses as usual, and walked ahead with a black file bag.


    Gu Li once criticized that he said that his black super dress was used to scare ordinary people, and the really powerful security personnel usually hide in the dark and behave low-key in the dark.


    But why is it still like this?


    Because An Feng is currently an ordinary character, and has not developed to the point where everyone shouts and beats... An Feng agrees with his chief security officer''s point of view, and he is not a blind mouse. If that time really comes, he will buy a security company, or simply PMC, and go out with a thousand bodyguards...


    Money can handle many things in this world, especially in an open capitalist society like the United States. They have no principles for money. Even the central bank (the Federal Reserve) is private. What else can money not do? A few days ago, when Gu Li went to court for the first time, An Feng hired the most powerful immigration lawyer.


    Things went very smoothly. In the big court soon, there was no accident for Guli to get his green card. His case was relatively simple, and he applied for political asylum in a timely manner. He also had a good lawyer who was willing to spend a lot of money to hire a lawyer. In addition, he proved that he had contributed to society. And so on, the judge will be sympathetic.


    Get on the plane and fly directly to Los Angeles. The apron has been built. When passing the sky above the building, you can see a big "H" letter down.


    Unfortunately, the construction has not yet been completed, and it will take about a week to officially dock the plane. An Feng glanced at it greedily, and continued to stop at Santa Monica Airport. Transfer to the SUV to the research center, and go up to the top floor by the special elevator. John has been waiting in An Feng''s office for a long time. After An Feng arrived, he went straight to the point.


    Having been with An Feng for so long, John has already touched his temperament: simple and direct.


    John said: "According to your request, the representative of HG Company will arrive in half an hour. Your lawyer, Mr. Franklin Miller, will arrive in ten minutes."


    "well done!"


    An Feng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with his hands behind his back, looking at the busy traffic outside, with an open mind. It feels good to be the boss once in a while.


    After talking with the other party for half an hour, he retracted the previous lies. He opened his eyes and played the translation game in his mind. The representative of the other party was still talking endlessly, and wanted to have other cooperation with the research center. Franklin and his assistant flipped through the agreement documents.


    It seems like a few years have passed... An Feng thinks. Franklin nodded at him: "Mr. An, confirm that there is no problem, you can sign the contract."


    "Okay!" An Feng raised his hand, and someone handed over the pen. He grabbed the signature pen and wrote in the place where the contract needed to be signed. Americans have a strong sense of law, so there are many places where contract documents need to be signed.


    After signing a bunch of names, An Feng threw away the pen and shook hands with the other party, with a fake smile on his face. The other party is very polite, how can you say that you are also a partner, how can you be rude to your parents? An Feng personally sent the other party away��about ten meters away, because the elevator arrived.


    "Goodbye!" An Feng had a smile on his face.


    The strength of HG company is still very strong. The sales of the weight-loss drug they developed reached 600 million in three years. As a result, they were fined tens of millions due to damage and were warned by the FDA to withdraw the product. The loss of this market has caused great harm to the company. The stock price plummeted, so Anfeng''s patent is urgent.


    An Feng is polite to this kind of partner, because he still has a lot of patents in his hand, and if necessary, he can take absolute control of intellectual property rights alone... After that, he hung up the phone to Roger, and two days later the local There is also a spring auction to attend.


    Since this is an auction company owned by the Blueline family, the invitation letter was also sent to An Feng. He was not interested in the auction at first, but he saw some of the world''s top watch brands in the luxury goods column, such as Patek Philippe, Lang Ge, Blancpain and the like, heartbeat.


    What''s more, I just received 5 million yuan, so I''m not short of money now.


    It usually takes more than a year to order a personalized watch. It is normal for a top-notch watch to take five or six years. An Feng wanted to order something direct.


    Two days later.


    The black Mercedes-Benz SUV was parked at the entrance of the auction company, and the door was opened by a special person. An Feng in a suit got out of the car, strode towards the door, and hugged Roger, who was wearing a white suit at the door, and Milan, who was wearing a red suit. Da performed the face-to-face ceremony, and everyone walked into the venue together.


    The scale of this Spring Festival auction is not small. From luxury watches to jewelry, it will be held for three days to warm up the auction for the new year. Those who were present were either rich or collectors, and there were constant famous cars arriving at the door. After taking their seats, An Feng and Roger talked about the topic of today''s auction.


    Roger is a typical kid from a rich family who has nothing to do, and he often attends such occasions where celebrities gather. He faces high-end people, eats, drinks, and makes friends with them, even if he only takes one order a month, such as An Feng''s big order, do you think it will make money? So Roger is a high-end mix.


    Roger raised the auction advertisement in his hand: "As an insider, let me show you the truth. Tonight''s highlight is three watches with minute repeater, perpetual calendar, and tourbillon, which are launched by Patek Philippe and Breguet respectively. They are very rare, and the estimated price is generally more than 400,000 US dollars. The prices of these top brand clocks are rising every year. If you buy them and put them away for three to five years, and then sell them at auction in the future, you will definitely make a profit!"


    On this point, Roger did not brag. The minute repeater, perpetual calendar and tourbillon are basically the standard equipment of top watches. Complicated craftsmanship and exquisite workmanship make every watch equipped with this function come out as soon as possible. It is a sought after target for collectors. As for those so-called watches with many carats of diamonds and 24K gold, if there are no above items, it is basically either boring TV 998 shopping or low-end goods.


    An Feng has done his homework beforehand, so he is not specialized, but he can talk a lot. For example, in the watchmaking industry, the top brand is undoubtedly Patek Philippe of Switzerland, and the remaining Lange, Blancpain, Breguet, and Audemars Piguet are also top brands, and they are all worthy of pursuit in the eyes of professional collectors.


    "This watch is good!" Roger pointed to one of the pages of the advertisement book. It is a limited watch produced by Breguet. It has a high-end minute repeater, a perpetual calendar and a tourbillon. The tourbillon can offset the time error caused by gravity. And this issue is to commemorate its founder, which is of great collection significance.


    An Feng looked at it, opened the first few pages, and pointed to one of them: "I still like this one."


    Roger glanced at it and said with a smile: "I have a good vision. Patek Philippe''s cutting-edge models, masterpieces of high-complexity functions, and day and night display functions also mean that they are of great value."


    An Feng didn''t know the specific origin of it, but felt that Perkin''s bezel was low-key but not lacking in luxury. He didn''t like that kind of golden watch, which blinded his eyes just by looking at it. It''s the same with the pretentious man who weighs a lot of gold and floats when soaked in water.


    Then the auction started, and An Feng recognized the watch.


    The starting price was 400,000 yuan. An Feng watched others raise the price all the way, and every time it soared, he cursed inwardly, shit! They are all a bunch of rich people, is it easy to buy a watch by yourself? After his voice slowed down, he began to raise his cards, one after another very slowly, and everyone was calm and relaxed.


    Finally, it rose to 620,000, which was about to exceed its recommended price. An Feng glanced at a middle-aged fat man in a gray suit in front of him, right! He also happened to turn his head back, and the two looked at each other, both smiling and greeting each other, but An Feng wished he could be killed in his heart, shit! He continued to raise cards and added more.


    Fatty also raised it. After reaching this price, other bidders gave up one after another. It is reasonable to collect it. This price exceeds the value they recognize in their hearts.


    Finally, the watch was sold to An Feng for 660,000 yuan, and he smiled proudly at the middle-aged fat man.


    The middle-aged fat man also smiled heartily.


    Roger said: "I know that person. He is the director of Bombardier''s western region in the United States. If you want to buy an airplane, I can recommend it to you."


    An Feng was taken aback, the rhythm was a bit wrong.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 89： book a plane

    Chapter 89 Ordering an Airplane


    As a result, after the auction ended, An Feng really sat with his opponent Fatty.


    It''s not that friends don''t get together.


    The location is in the restaurant on the upper floors of the venue, with an elegant style and a relaxed atmosphere. Only VIP members or black gold card holders like An Feng can enter.


    Roger is responsible for the introduction: "Bob, Bombardier''s vice president of sales in the western United States. Bruce, a visionary investor."


    Bob shook hands with An Feng and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you, Bruce."


    "Me too." An Feng smiled, as if the price just now did not affect their friendship at all.


    Bob may have a generous heart and a fat body, or generosity is the standard for businessmen. All that can bring you benefits is God. So he had a good chat with "God", from watch collection to jewelry, watch "God" doesn''t know much, but diamonds, even ten Bobs can''t compare with "God".


    Why? Because he has been thinking about how to squeeze diamonds to benefit mankind.


    An Feng''s knowledge in this area is integrated into the future, and he has a very deep understanding of diamonds. If he studies for half a year, he can become a diamond appraiser. Bob said with admiration: "Bruce, if there is a chance next time, I would like to invite you to participate in the gem collection exhibition in our small circle, and exchange ideas with each other. Are you interested?"


    "No problem, if there is enough time, I will." Look at An Feng''s words, the answer is standard enough, a typical busy business tycoon.


    Bob has no doubts at all. Of course, business tycoons don��t have much time, and they have to fly around all day to discuss business?


    Then they chatted about airplanes.


    An Feng had experience with Bombardier several times. At first, Mrs. Sinclair��s Challenger 850, followed by a leased Challenger 300, and other brands. Bombardier generally feels good to him, and is so well-known in its native Canada that it''s seen as "Canada''s answer to General Electric."


    Bob talked eloquently in this regard: "Our development in the field of intercontinental aircraft is extremely rapid. While pursuing range and speed, we also take into account comfort. It can be said that as long as you want, you can move your luxurious office to There is no problem at all in the sky."


    Roger moderately commented: "Bombardier is really capable in the luxury field."


    As a result, An Feng was moved by what he said, because the other party considered that it was recommended by Roger, the name of the Blueline family was very strong in the circle, and An Feng seemed to be a rich man with good money. Expressed his attitude: the order can be arranged a little earlier.


    Ordering a private business jet is not as simple as buying a helicopter from Anfeng, you can pick and buy from stock. You need to personalize a business jet first, place an order, and then set up a special team to make it. It is estimated that you will have to wait three to four years. After the plane arrives, the day lily may be cold.


    Looking at Bob''s face full of sincerity, An Feng smiled and said, "I will give you an answer within two days."


    "It''s okay, the top luxury aircraft really need careful consideration." Bob also had a smile on his face, raised his glass and touched An Feng.


    ��


    The second day after returning home, An Feng was leaning on the sofa playing with the famous watch he had bought at a huge price, but he was thinking about other things. Indeed, Bob''s words moved him, and he had been planning to buy an airplane. Of course, he doesn''t have enough money to pay now, but needs to combine the future.


    He cast such a big net, whether it is repaying loans or other things, as long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, he will definitely make a lot of money in more than two years, and his net worth will double. If you use the usual way of thinking of the oriental people, it may not be worthwhile to wait until you really have money before considering enjoying things.


    For example, if you have money after two years and then book a plane, doesn��t that mean you have to wait another two or three years? But if you order now, the plane will almost arrive in two years when you have money. Wouldn''t this be more efficient? After thinking about it, An Feng felt that it would be no problem to make a little money in a short period of time.


    So he calls Bob, advances the future.


    That afternoon, An Feng showed up at Santa Monica Airport in a helicopter and got off the plane to meet Bob. The plane he arranged had also parked at the airport. From the outside, it was not a small business jet. Bob asked him to board first, and An Feng stepped up the gangway. The interior of the plane was luxurious and spacious.


    Bob introduced: "This is the Global 7000 of the Global Express series, an intercontinental aircraft. Among competitors in the same field, its fuselage width is at the forefront."


    Bob must have done his homework, and guessed that Anfeng��s intention to purchase is an intercontinental plane, so he directly asked the company to drive the Global 7000 to match what he liked.


    An Feng visited the cabin layout of the plane. The cabin is divided into two parts. The first part is a comfortable first-class seat, which is also an office area. Soft woolen carpets are laid under the feet, and the latter part is a leisure and entertainment area. A set is enough There are leather sofas for five people, and there are flat-screen TVs, top-level stereos and other equipment opposite. In addition, the standard toilet and kitchen adopt a hidden design, freeing up enough space.


    An Feng sat down in the front office area. The seats, which are completely comparable to the first-class seats in civil aviation, are hand-stitched with genuine leather, which is soft and comfortable, and the foot pads can be extended to allow people to lie down. Bob sat across from him, and a stewardess pulled out a hidden table for them and served two glasses of champagne.


    An Feng enjoyed this top-notch service very much. He took a sip of champagne comfortably and asked, "I have known about Global 7000 and Global 8000. What is the most obvious difference between them?"


    Without hesitation, Bob: "They are both intercontinental aircraft, but the area of ??the Global 7000 is larger than that of the Global 8000. In terms of range, the Global 7000 has about 11,000 kilometers, while the Global 8000 can reach 15,000 kilometers. The price of the two is the same. , mainly for customers with different needs.��


    "I prefer to fly far." An Feng looked at the surrounding layout, it is indeed spacious, but there is no way to live far away, there are more than 10,000 points from California to China, but more than 12,000 points from Texas to China.


    "Actually, the difference in area between the two is not too big. If it is not particularly demanding on details, it will basically not be felt." Bob said with a smile.


    An Feng has a little literal understanding.


    The plane took off. Since the flight plan had been submitted to the air traffic control office, it was able to fly to an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, and smoothly and comfortably transport the guests to Arizona, which is adjacent to California. Bombardier has an aircraft manufacturing center in Tucson, which basically supplies the aircraft in the western United States.


    Less than an hour later, the plane landed on the Bombardier airstrip.


    Looking out the porthole, the planes parked on both sides of the airport are not only business jets, but also large passenger planes. According to Bob��s introduction, Bombardier��s business is very extensive, covering everything from trains to planes, and its own strength is not bad. After getting off the plane, they were picked up in a Mercedes-Benz to the company''s office building, where Bob introduced him to an account executive.


    Naturally, as a vice president, Bob''s main task is to manage the company.


    The other party was a middle-aged white man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. As soon as he saw An Feng, he extended his hand enthusiastically: "Hello, Mr. An, I''m Brian."


    "Hello, Brian!" An Feng shook hands with him.


    After chatting with An Feng for a few words, Bob gave space to him and Brian.


    Brian warmly invited An Feng to sit down in the office, and the assistant brought tea and water. Every customer who orders an aircraft has an exclusive person in charge and a dedicated team to ensure that every individual demand of the customer is met. After sitting down, Brian introduced the characteristics of Bombardier in detail.


    After listening to some introductions, An Feng already had a direction in his mind, either the Universal 7000 or the 8000, and he was more inclined to the latter, but considering the space, he had not observed it on the spot, so he was not sure. Later, Brian got his idea and asked people to arrange a vehicle to go to the factory.


    In fact, the factory buildings are not far away, but customers generally do not walk.


    An Feng was very satisfied with their performance in this aspect, and let the distinguished guests VIP all the way to the end. Bombardier''s factory building is very ordinary, square and square like a domestic factory, but a bit high, after all, the planes are parked inside. When you drive in the car, the first thing you feel when you get off the car is that it is clean, and you can''t feel the density and congestion of the factory at all.


    Brian introduced as he walked: "This is the No. 3 factory building, which belongs to the post-production area. There is still some follow-up work to deliver the aircraft to the customer."


    An Feng nodded, and Brian pointed to one of the planes and said, "That''s the Global 8000 you want to see, and the exterior painting is custom-made."


    "Very good." An Feng said.


    An Feng stepped onto the plane and looked around. Although he said that the pursuit of range made it a little smaller, he could not feel much difference, unless he was a person who was particularly sensitive to space. It happened that An Feng had no concept of this aspect, because every A seat is more spacious than civil aviation first class.


    After visiting 7000 and 8000 models, Anfeng decided that he wanted Global 8000.


    Then there is the personalization that takes several days. After the aircraft is built, it is an empty shell inside, allowing customers to personalize within a certain weight range, which means that as long as you have an idea, Bombardier staff can help you implement it. This is the most important thing. An Feng was satisfied because he wanted to put a bed on the plane.


    Flying back to China in the future, if you are too tired, you can lie on the bed and have a good sleep... Does this feel like civil aviation? There are other aspects of the design. Under the recommendation of the designer, the cabin is divided into two parts, the front and the back. The front is the office area, which adopts warm colors and a few bouquets of flowers will make it more warm; the rear part is the small bar and entertainment area. , there is also a large bed, which requires the style of the deep starry sky above the head.


    There is also the exterior painting design. Anfeng continues to use the most common and stylish white color. In order to show the specialness, some lines are added to the fuselage to make it look more elegant... Finally, the designer gave the computer drawings to the He saw, and after a few more details were revised, it took four days to finally decide to come to an agreement in this style.


    According to the contract, Anfeng needs to pay a deposit of 3 million U.S. dollars first, and the cost of the entire aircraft will exceed 70 million U.S. dollars. Bob helped him jump in the line, and it is expected to be manufactured in two years. After debugging, it will be delivered to An Feng, and the payment will be settled together at the end.


    On the plane home after the end, the burden was a little heavier. In addition to the almost 100 million yuan that will be returned to the bank in more than two years, now there is another 70 million yuan to buy the plane. I found out that I can really make a fuss. I have done so many things in the first year since I came to the United States, and there are two years left. I don��t know what else I will do.

 Chapter 90： Attending a meeting at the manor

    Chapter 90 The manor attends the meeting


    Time to the end of March.


    It was almost time to take Joanna to visit Mrs. Sinclair last time.


    Considering the customs of Westerners, An Feng made an appointment a week in advance, and asked Joanna about some common etiquette. When visiting someone''s house, you have to do as the Romans do. What''s more, he took Joanna as a guest, and he also had a small plan to get closer. Mrs. Sinclair is a big backer.


    Meet Joanna at Paso Robles Airport. She was waiting outside the airport with a trolley suitcase. Seeing this, Gu Li stepped forward to help her carry the things. She smiled at Gu Li and said thank you. Gu Li smiled honestly. He has always had a good impression of Joanna, and he even praised her as a standard rich lady.


    The car drove into the airport and stopped in front of a plane. An Feng turned sideways in front of the gangway and gave her a hand. Joanna pulled up her skirt in a very ladylike manner and stepped up in small steps. An Feng followed. This business jet was sent by Mrs. Sinclair to pick them up, which shows her serious attitude.


    The plane took off and its destination was San Antonio, Texas.


    An Feng and Joanna chatted about some knowledge of the manor, which can be regarded as giving her a thorough understanding. But even if she doesn''t say it, she can handle it with ease. I think that when I went to the manor for the first time as a guest, I was really shocked by the aristocratic etiquette that has been passed down for generations. A British butler is like an army officer, and the servants are soldiers under him. One look, one sentence Reminder, the subordinates will execute in an orderly manner.


    An Feng said: "I had a very profound experience that time. I feel that the butler is like a clone of the master. They must have been professionally trained, right?"


    Joanna said: "Of course, as you said, the butler is the most cutting-edge part. This kind of butler often has professional training or hereditary inheritance, has extremely high self-quality and rich life knowledge, and is familiar with various etiquettes , delicacies and famous dishes, and appreciating famous wines, you can be called a noble teacher!"


    An Feng sighed: "It''s too powerful, and the housekeeper is also hereditary, it feels like..."


    An Feng racked his brains and couldn''t find a description. Joanna helped him add: "Like a CEO who manages servants?"


    "Yes, that''s what it means!" An Feng said.


    "This is a cutting-edge customization culture. The butler is in charge of a family service team including chefs, bodyguards, gardeners, tailors, nannies, and servants. As the most trusted secretary and confidant, he considers the master, Organize the daily affairs of the whole family."


    An Feng listened, and nodded again and again: "Your statement is extremely correct, I can''t think of how to describe the orderly under the control of the housekeeper."


    Joanna smiled: "Although the butler is not a nobleman, he is indeed the best teacher of the nobility. So there is a saying in the society that a qualified butler can make the master who is not a nobleman behave like a three-generation nobleman in all aspects. So, Ann Sir, you need to pay attention."


    An Feng was delighted: "I''m afraid I won''t be able to learn that kind of state, and I''m currently a loser, far away from the rich, and even farther away from the nobles."


    Joanna said: "Nobles are not necessarily rich."


    An Feng shook his head: "But without money, you can''t afford the huge land, the cost of the house, the servant team, and the Rolls Royce for the housekeeper."


    "That''s right." Joanna agreed.


    ��


    After spending more than four hours chatting, the plane landed at the airport in San Antonio, and it was still the VIP channel to the end. A Bentley and two Land Rover were picked up at the airport. Bentley stopped in front of the lowered gangway, and as soon as they got off, bodyguards in black came to open the door for them.


    When I came to Sinclair''s manor, it was still the same as last time. A row of servants stood straight and waited for the distinguished guests without squinting. The car stopped, and the two male servants stepped forward to open the door swiftly, protecting their hands on the roof of the car to prevent accidental bumps on the guests'' heads. Details are everywhere.


    An Feng and Joanna got out of the car, and Mrs. Sinclair, who was on crutches, smiled and said, "Welcome both of you!"


    The men in the servant team nodded and bowed, and the women curtseyed. Seeing this, An Feng smiled at the old lady: "Mrs. Sinclair, thank you for your hospitality."


    "Where, where, your arrival makes the humble house flourish." Mrs. Sinclair said.


    An Feng introduced Joanna sideways according to the next step of etiquette: "This lady is Joanna, Miss J.S. Stanwell."


    Joanna smiled and held on to her skirt, curtseying: "It''s a pleasure to be your guest here, Mrs. Sinclair. Your garden is so beautiful!"


    "Thank you for your praise! Beautiful lady!" Mrs. Sinclair was very happy. Several gorgeously dressed men and women came out of the room at the same time. The lady introduced: "This is my eldest son Bazel, his son Charlie; of course , the other is the second son Matthew, and the granddaughter Catherine I told you about last time!"


    An Feng smiled and nodded at them, and went up to shake hands one by one to greet each other. Joanna also followed him, knowing each other with a smile on his face.


    Ms. Sinclair said: "You must have worked hard to come here from California. Please come in!"


    The butler who was closest to the door made a gesture of invitation, turned around and walked in the front and opened the door. The guests and the hosts stood side by side, chatting and walking, stepped up the steps, and entered the house. The servants could not go through the main entrance, but could only leave in an orderly way along the side path.


    ��


    An Feng didn''t pay attention to these details of the reception last time, but after Joanna''s popularization, he finally knew that it was deliberately arranged by the housekeeper.


    The purpose of the butler is to make the guests feel comfortable. Guests of different levels have different ways of entertaining. An Feng''s first visit is relatively civilian, so the style of hospitality tends to be casual, without too much particularity. And Joanna who visited this time was from aristocratic background, so that rigorous set was also put on display.


    Just for this simple detail, the butler has made an extremely meticulous plan.


    It can be said that this time it is playing the authentic high society. From the moment he got off the car, An Feng had to observe and pay more attention. He really admired Joanna, who was able to deal with it freely, and even she was leading many processes.


    Joanna is chatting with Mrs. Sinclair. Except for them, everyone else had smiles on their faces, but the details showed that not everyone was used to this kind of occasion where servants gathered and welcomed grandly. For example, the seventeen or eighteen-year-old granddaughter Catherine looked around , distracted.


    After the welcome ceremony, the two guests returned to the guest room to put their luggage under the leadership of the servants. An Feng walked out of the guest room and ventilated with Joanna in the corridor. She explained: "Next is free time, you can let the host''s family accompany you, or you can go shopping by yourself. As for the evening banquet, come back half an hour early and change your clothes. Be careful here, even if your clothes are not dirty .��


    An Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "Understood."


    Joanna asked: "How about it, can you still get used to it?"


    An Feng said: "It takes some time to get used to it. I didn''t expect you to pay attention to the truth when you walk around. It''s because you are smart and wink first-class."


    Joanna smiled: "Remember to owe me a favor."


    When going downstairs, An Feng met Mrs. Sinclair''s second son, a middle-aged man named Matthew, probably in his early forties, wearing a black suit, combing his shiny hair up, giving him a sense of humor. Feeling energetic, sunny and positive, it is easy to gain the trust of others.


    "Hello, Mr. Ann." Matthew Sinclair held out his hand.


    "Hello, please call me Bruce." An Feng shook hands with him.


    "Okay, Bruce." Matthew motioned sideways to walk together, "Are you free now?"


    "I''m free, just looking for someone to chat with."


    "Okay, I want to talk to you about graphene and your GP company."


    An Feng and Matthew came to the backyard garden and walked along the cobblestone path by the lake. Chatting along the way, Matthew was very interested in graphene technology and wanted to join the cooperation circle. Of course, in his personal capacity, not on behalf of the Sinclair family. Because the family still has the final say on the old lady.


    Matthew specially reminded: "Once this technology is born, it will involve the gains and losses of many people. Therefore, if there is no strong enough partner, there will always be some people who are self-righteous, or think that they can achieve themselves through lures, threats, etc. the goal of."


    An Feng smiled: "It''s so dark to hear what you said."


    Matthew also smiled: "The bright ones don''t dare to come, and committing the wrongdoing of the world will arouse public anger. But if you want to avoid the dark ones, you have to be high-profile enough. As we all know, technology stars are not soft persimmons that everyone can pinch .But I feel that you are not inclined to high-profile, so the second way is to have a group of strong partners."


    An Feng said directly: "Doesn''t Mrs. Sinclair count?"


    Matthew nodded without hesitation: "Yes, as long as my mother speaks out, no one will dare to provoke the Sinclair family, but things are not optimistic."


    An Feng knew that he was referring to cancer, but if he could remind himself, whether it was out of kindness or something, An Feng would have to thank him: "Thank you for your reminder. Of course, I am also looking for a partner now, because its It''s too broad, and I just needed the money and the connections."


    Matthew''s eyes lit up.

 Chapter 91： fell off the horse

    Chapter 91 Fall off the horse


    During the conversation with Matthew, I learned that the strength of the Sinclair family is unquestionable. The Texas oil tycoon is not called for nothing. Not only Texas, but also some large oil companies in the world have their shadows. In addition, these people are far-sighted, and frequently cast their eyes on new energy.


    For example, Matthew is very interested in the graphene battery developed by Anfeng. He believes that although the traditional gasoline field cannot be shaken in the short term, it is possible to change some of it. Electric vehicles are a typical example. What can stop its development?


    The host and guest had a great time chatting, and after meeting each other the next morning, they continued to chat in the study. On the contrary, the eldest son Bazel is not very interested in this aspect. I heard that the family is divided into labor, and the eldest son is in charge of traditional industries, while Matthew is more trendy and likes to invest in some high-tech.


    An Feng took a sip of the water brought by his servant, moistened his throat, and said: "I welcome investment, but it depends on when the research of graphene will make a breakthrough. Currently, it is in the field of batteries and chips. As long as one of them has With progress, the company can allocate funds and prioritize development.��


    Matthew is very interested: "Remember to let me know when you make additional investments."


    "I will."


    Not only Matthew, but also Wang Le, an old classmate in China, and some other interested giants, such as IBM. Because GP''s new graphene mass production method has been published in the newspapers, more efficient methods naturally attracted attention, so the other party intends to cooperate in the field of mass production.


    The current giants have never imagined that mass production is at best an appetizer for GP.


    ��


    Meet those young masters and ladies riding horses for a trip in the afternoon. Matthew saw An Feng''s eyes and invited him: "Bruce, are you interested in riding a horse to tour the countryside?"


    An Feng readily agreed: "Okay, last time I was lucky enough to ride that British purebred horse named ''Lightning'' raised by my wife! Please allow me to admire from the bottom of my heart, it is a racing horse that makes people excited , as long as you enter the stables, you will be quiet, and once you get on the track, you will not be able to stop!"


    Matthew heard this, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are also a horse lover. I sometimes ride a horse myself to see horse races. Unfortunately, I don''t have your major."


    An Feng is modest: "I just have a little skill."


    Matthew said: "A person who can ride on lightning is not only enough to have small skills, I have been severely thrown by it several times before!"


    The two chatted all the way back to the house. When they heard that they were going to ride a horse, the housekeeper immediately arranged for a servant to prepare clothes for them. The equestrian uniform left for An Feng last time is still there, and it fits well without any brand label. I heard that it is specially hired to make it custom-made, ranging from tall to short, from fat to thin.


    Wearing equestrian clothes and coming to the stables, An Feng glanced over, the British purebred horse stayed silent last time, Matthew said: "It''s too difficult to tame, the children won''t choose it, and we don''t have that much energy , so it''s mostly up to the trainer to keep it in shape."


    An Feng understood, and took "Lightning" out without hesitation.


    Based on the experience from last time, he led the horse out and walked slowly for a while, after getting familiar with each other, he tried to ride on Lightning''s back. Grabbing the reins, stepping into the stirrups, getting on the horse when turning over...all good. Maybe Lightning still remembered the human being who couldn''t get rid of it even if it died last time, and it cooperated obediently.


    Matthew was riding a tall Dutch warm-blooded horse, saw An Feng riding Lightning for a lap, and said in admiration: "Besides my elder brother and the horse trainer, this is the first time I have seen Lightning befriend a newcomer." The knight is so docile. Bruce, you are too humble, this ability is really powerful!"


    An Feng laughed, there is no need to be modest in this respect.


    The hot-blooded horse is a typical "running and can''t stop". This horse that once won the championship in the field has its own unique personality. After one movement, it immediately ran along the green field by the river for more than ten minutes, leaving the other horses on the road far behind.


    Joanna rode to keep up, and An Feng pulled the rein a few times before the guy slowed down and kept pace with her. Joanna observed the horse that ran continuously without panting, and the love in her eyes was undisguised: "It really is a champion horse, even if it is walking, it must run ahead of other horses!"


    An Feng touched Lightning''s mane, "I really like this guy, ''Lightning'' is worthy of its name, but it''s a pity that others love it, otherwise I would have thought of buying it."


    Joanna smiled: "Then you should try to please Mrs. Sinclair."


    "Haha, I think so too. By the way, have you and the old lady discussed anything?"


    Joanna nodded: "She and my grandfather should be distant relatives. Later, she married a rich American oil businessman. After we got far away, everyone communicated less. She visited once when my grandfather passed away, and I also met her. But it��s been so long, I don��t remember clearly now.��


    An Feng came to a sudden: "So, you are really related?"


    Joanna nodded: "It should be a little bit. She is very kind to others, and she hopes that I can stay for a while."


    An Feng smiled: "Thank you, I accidentally found a relative for you."


    Joanna said: "I even helped you out earlier, so it''s even."


    An Feng was disappointed: "Is this even? It''s too unfair. I have a big contribution, okay? Let your relatives reunite thousands of miles away!"


    Joanna smiled, and suddenly pointed forward: "Okay, if you can ride it over the crooked wooden posts in front, I will promise you a request!"


    An Feng took a look and saw that the fence of the manor was tens of meters away, and further outside was a forest, which should be used to prevent foxes and wild boars from coming in to make trouble. He led Philip over the taller ones, but the hot-blooded horse didn''t know what to do with it.


    Seeing that he didn''t speak, Joanna was proud: "How about it, don''t you dare?"


    "Who said that, a request!" An Feng was not afraid of the girl''s bet, he touched the lightning under his body, "Let me go around a few times to get familiar with it."


    "No problem," Joanna said.


    An Feng rode Lightning around a few laps, turned back and sprinted on the way, his body heaved up and down according to the law, the racehorse rushed towards the fence, and at the moment it was about to hit it, his body rose, Lightning took off, fell with the center of gravity, and his hooves stabilized. Landed steadily, and continued to run for six or seven meters before stopping.


    An Feng pulled the rein and turned the horse''s head, turned around and said with a smile, "Did you see? I can still go for a short distance!"


    "Be careful!" Joanna reminded.


    An Feng drove Lightning to sprint for a short distance. Before he rushed to the guardrail, Lightning didn''t know whether it was a convulsion or something, but he screamed and jumped with his hind foot. An Feng was going to stand up to meet the leap, but he didn''t expect it to be The legs jump first, and the result of this is that the person flies out in an arc.


    An Feng''s first feeling: I was cheated! He fell heavily on the ground on his back, but fortunately he reacted quickly and covered his face with his hands, otherwise he would have ended up facing the ground. The lightning that didn''t know what he caused the trouble jumped a few times, away from the guardrail. Joanna was startled, and hurriedly chased after her, and jumped off before stopping.


    "Are you okay?" Joanna ran over to help him up, but just stretched out her hand, thinking of the second injury, she immediately retracted: "Where do you feel pain?"


    An Feng spat out the dirt in his mouth, complaining: "My whole body hurts."


    "How did this happen?" Joanna panicked, looking at him anxiously, but she didn''t know what to do. An Feng frowned: "Help me up quickly, it''s too ugly to lie on the ground."


    "My God, why are you still thinking about whether it''s ugly or not?" Joanna knelt on the ground wanting to laugh and blamed herself, hugging him in her arms, trying not to touch other parts that might be damaged, and said in her mouth : "I''m sorry, I shouldn''t bet with you like this, it''s all my fault..."


    An Feng''s frowning brows suddenly relaxed, and he stretched out his hand that was on the ground, and wiped her face.


    He pointed to the three marks on Joanna''s face: "Haha! Tabby cat!"


    Joanna, who was holding An Feng, froze for a moment, then suddenly threw him from her arms to the ground, and cursed angrily, "I''ll kill you!"


    After speaking, she turned and left in a rage.


    An Feng rubbed his **** and got up, looking at her back, as if he had overdone it... He hurried to catch up: "Hey, Joanna, wait for me!"


    Joanna ignores him.


    "Wait, my **** hurts and I can''t keep up with you!" An Feng called from behind.


    Joanna stopped suddenly, wiped her face with the back of her hand, turned around, with a straight face: "Is this fun? Why don''t you fall to your death! You as��"


    Good tutoring made her swearing "asshole" go around. She blushed and her shoulders trembled: "I don''t want to talk to you! Now!"


    "Stop! Look!" An Feng stretched out his hand and wiped his face a few times, "The big tabby cat has a curvy beard, okay?"


    Joanna laughed "puchi", then covered her mouth, and kept a straight expression.


    "I really hurt!" An Feng said innocently, "I fell on my **** just now, I just don''t want you to blame yourself. It''s my fault for the tabby cat."


    Joanna is kind after all, she walked towards An Feng and supported him: "Attention! I am not a tabby cat!"


    "Got it, Tabby Cat." An Feng said.


    "How dare you!" She gritted her teeth. A lady who should be calm on any occasion has lost control of her emotions many times today.


    "I''m a wounded person." An Feng was confident, "And don''t you think it''s fun that we are all tabby cats?"


    "You..." Joanna said with a dark face, "You bastard!"


    An Feng smiled: "Chinese pronunciation is good, Tabby Cat!"

 Chapter 92： holiday life

    Chapter 92 Holiday Life


    An Feng is very boring, and in the end, he wanted to tease Joanna. I always felt that she was too deliberate in maintaining every aspect of her performance. This is good, perfect, and she is a goddess in domestic terms, but it is always a bit... ethereal and unrealistic. Are there perfect people in the world?


    An Feng didn''t know, but felt that Joanna also had a young lady''s temper. She just suppressed it from time to time. Although it''s good to be like this in front of people, but it''s also like this among friends. It''s too tiring, and it''s easy to suffocate. Face, from the moment she yelled at herself angrily, her goal was achieved.


    Being supported by her on the way back, An Feng smiled and said, "Shout out loud if you feel uncomfortable, do you feel much better after venting?"


    Joanna sighs: "My image."


    An Feng said: "I think you are more real like this."


    Joanna turned her head: "Do you really think so?"


    An Feng nodded: "Of course, I never lie to ladies."


    Joanna smiled: "Haha, have you said that to many girls? It''s not unfamiliar at all. In the future, I will be very careful about this kind of person. First, I will label you as ''untrustworthy'', and then take your Use the remarks as a negative teaching material, and use this to warn my sisters."


    An Feng''s black face: "I am here to help you out of kindness! And can you stop revealing your true colors all at once?"


    Joanna smiled even more happily: "It''s too late! No matter how wonderful you say when you go back, they won''t believe it, and my words are obviously more credible."


    An Feng regretted: "I found that the original Joanna is better."


    ��


    The rural life in the manor is very easy. Everyone is a rich man who does not work. As the saying goes, as long as you have money, you can let countless people work for you. So in the leisurely afternoon, everyone sat down to drink tea together, and enjoyed the swordsmanship competition between Bazel and Joanna up close on the stage, which was really pleasant.


    On the standard kendo that is 14 meters long and 2 meters wide, there is a mixed sword confrontation between men and women, but there are no referees, scoring devices, and cameras. There are only a series of dazzling swords and swords. You advance and retreat, you Attack and defend, the flexible body fully interprets the essence of fencing.


    Joanna deflected Bazel''s attack twice, and counterattacked deftly��the beautiful sword pierced Bazel''s chest, winning the score.


    "Pretty!"


    The audience let out an admiration.


    Although it is currently a pastime, scoring depends on self-consciousness, and the two sides have not gone all out like a duel in the Middle Ages, but you come and go, it is exciting.


    In Europe, fencing, horseback riding and hunting are known as aristocratic sports. Women''s fencing is even more exciting. A snow-white sword suit makes the ladies heroic and charming. In the confrontation between swords and people, the composure and calmness of each other are tested. At the same time, fencing is very particular about posture and etiquette, cultivating an elegant temperament and charm.


    On the sword path, opponents of different ages and genders are confronted, but despite Joanna''s young age, with a saber in hand, her temperament changes suddenly, as if she has become a medieval female swordsman. As for the opponent, Bazel, as a male, he is superior in strength, but he is also no match for Joanna, who sings all the way and has a flexible figure.


    Mrs. Sinclair boasted: "Joanna is skilled and flexible in footwork. If Bazel doesn''t go all out, he won''t take much advantage."


    The saber pays attention to speed, can be stabbed and chopped, and has high requirements on footwork and skills. Mrs. Sinclair seems to be well versed in this way, and can tell the level of both parties at a glance.


    An Feng didn''t understand much, and he had only watched fencing on TV a few times, so he couldn''t explain why, but he felt that Joanna''s fencing was very eye-catching. With the snow-white sword suit on her body, that heroic temperament emerges spontaneously. It can be said that apart from equestrianism, this is the sport she can show her most charm.


    After seven or eight minutes, the competition on the kendo came to an end. Joanna took off her mask, shook her head, her beautiful blond hair hung down, and she was very charming. The audience applauded the two, and it was really rare to see a wonderful competition, especially when one of them was an elegant lady.


    Joanna walked towards them, handed the sword and mask to the servant, took the glass from the butler, and drank a few sips of mineral water. The weather this year is the same as in California and Texas. It''s a bit hot in April, the sky above is clear blue, and the sun hangs high.


    Mrs. Sinclair''s little granddaughter stepped forward and also asked to learn swordsmanship: "Joanna, you are so powerful, how about teaching me?"


    Joanna smiled: "Okay."


    Catherine''s father, Matthew, shook his head: "You don''t have enough patience. It takes hard practice to really calm down before you can be on stage for a few minutes."


    "I will." Catherine said stubbornly.


    Father''s words could not stop Catherine''s enthusiasm, she really learned swordsmanship from Joanna. An Feng also heard some sweet ideas from Joanna, such as fencing is ballet on the tip of the sword, shaping the legs, reducing the waist and thinning the abdomen, and reducing fat all over the body... Therefore, almost all fencing practitioners have a good figure.


    From this point of view, Joanna can educate children.


    In addition, An Feng has been on business for two days.


    GP company''s technology research and development must be managed by someone. An Feng has limited patience, but he doesn''t want to make trouble with money.


    Judging from the current situation, the progress is very good, and funding is not a problem. There are a lot of investors waiting for financing. Anfeng''s requirement is that he owns at least 51% of the shares, and other things are easy to say. Only by giving everyone some benefits can we go further. Eating alone is a pleasure for a while, but it will make the road narrower and narrower. Not to mention secret competition or some unscrupulous means, anti-monopoly alone is enough to eat a pot.


    An Feng also brought Matthew, and they took a company visit in Austin. In addition, An Feng also participated in the research and development activities as the commander-in-chief. It is right to let the technical team develop their own direction, but mistakes are frequent and repeated-this means a waste of money, and it is very expensive to conduct experiments.


    The current status quo is: the research and development of chips is slow, and even if there is a complete method, it is restricted by the equipment. The battery is very fast, and it is estimated that the sample will be released in one month. According to the actual test results, the cost will be reduced and the efficiency will be improved as much as possible��reaching the mass production level.


    R&D team leader Song Wenrui concluded: "Graphene batteries or capacitors have a great impact on the battery industry. From automobiles to mobile electronic devices, the market share is not smaller than that of chips, and as long as the cost can be controlled, Mr. An, what should you consider next? Welcome the praise of the world!"


    "Well done!" An Feng applauded, "As long as you pioneers produce results, you will be indispensable to the employee stock."


    Song Wenrui''s reminder reminded him of one thing.


    GP company is too huge - with the scale of the future, although there are only more than 400 people now. If it goes public as a whole in the future, it means that everything from batteries to chips to other technical fields will face investors from all over the world. It is not worth it. Why not set up a subsidiary separately?


    For example, the battery subsidiary and the chip subsidiary are authorized by the head office to provide technology and patents. Even if the subsidiary is acquired due to poor management or other reasons in the future, the head office interrupts the patent authorization. It is conceivable that some people want to bite Cake, but finally ate the aggrieved expression with a mouth full of flies.


    Another point is that graphene is currently the most promising for Anfeng, and it can make a lot of money even if it is not listed. However, listed companies need to disclose the information of shareholders, and the degree of confidentiality is not high. If he holds a high proportion of shares, he will inevitably become a figure in the forefront. He does not like to be the focus of public opinion.


    The current best way is to separate, let the subsidiary go public and absorb funds, while the head office can have more privacy, and can also protect its own development from being affected, avoid fierce market competition, and be more economically flexible... No matter what Think, setting up a subsidiary is an option.


    An Feng wrote down some content and planned to consult his team when he had time.

 Chapter 93： This is how guns are played [third update]

    Chapter 93 This is how guns are played [third update]


    The five-day holiday passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time to say goodbye.


    An Feng gained a lot from this trip. He not only shortened the relationship with the backer, but also found a partner. The only thing is that the cumbersome etiquette makes him a bit difficult to turn, especially every grand dinner. Fortunately, he has a strong leadership ability. After repeating it a few times, he can proudly say that even in the most exquisite western restaurant, he can still enjoy the whole dinner with a set of aristocratic table manners... this is one of the gains.


    Compared to him, Joanna played purely.


    The life in the British countryside specially planned by the butler made her relive the past, and Matthew''s daughter became her friend. The two girls were not much different in age. It made her parents unpredictable.


    The old lady Sinclair believes that this is the personality charm of a real noble lady, and it should not be the unfounded pride of her children and grandchildren that have been eroded by American culture. This traditional concept of the old lady is still very stubborn.


    Say goodbye to the Sinclair family, take a special car to the airport, and board a private jet under the **** of bodyguards. The first stop is to fly to Austin. An Feng still has work in the local area and will not go back for the time being. After landing at the airport in ten minutes, the VIP all the way to the end is simpler than Anfeng''s previous procedures for taking a business jet. The reason... This airport is privately owned, and the Sinclair family has shares in it, so the big boss''s plane stops randomly.


    When An Feng got off the plane, he thought in his heart that when we had money, we would build a few airports for fun. Anyway, there are private airports everywhere in the United States, and it is easy to handle. Also because it is private, all kinds of bureaucratic priorities are normal for the bosses, unless the employees don''t want to do it anymore.


    An Feng stayed in a local hotel in Austin, and as always asked Angela to book him the best suite, which could overlook the scenery of the mountains and rivers, and was also equipped with a heated seawater swimming pool. There are not many things this time, but procrastination, without him, it will be troublesome, and this step cannot be escaped for the time being.


    The pace of life in Austin is not fast. You can see people jogging along the river every day. Young men and women in the United States are more keen on outdoor sports, and occasionally lead their pet dogs on the street or in the park for a few laps. Later, An Feng was infected by this fitness atmosphere and went for a few laps too.


    Breathing the fresh air and jogging along the river, the scenery along the way is beautiful and the trees are shady. The weather near April begins to feel hot. According to news reports, the climate in the western part of the United States this year may be higher than in previous years, and farmers are reminded to take precautions against drought.


    An Feng pays close attention to this information, because it concerns the future of his new products. But...he is in a good mood, because the new fertilizer not only increases the yield, but also improves the ability of the crops to resist harsh environments. He always feels that a natural and man-made disaster must be caused to reflect the awesomeness of the patented technology.


    So drought, severe drought, or heavy rainfall, flood, 12-level hurricane, major earthquake, another June blizzard... a full set of natural disasters is the best. The life and death of other farmers has nothing to do with him, as long as the farmers who buy their own fertilizers are happy to find that other farms have reduced production and closed down one after another; when the farmers hang themselves and complain about Wall Street in New York, their crops are still thriving...


    Thailand��s bio-fertilizers are still sold like crazy?


    "Life is too good!"


    Even the sweat on the forehead from the sun now feels a little sweet. With a heartfelt smile on An Feng''s face, he greeted every man and woman passing by on the road. His enthusiasm infected the American people, but no one could guess the evil crooked mind in his heart.


    "Hi!"


    A lady came up behind him and greeted him.


    "Hi!" An Feng was in a good mood and would not refuse anyone who came. He turned his head and looked puzzled: "You are... Eve?"


    "Yes, it''s me, Mr. An!" Eve smiled slightly.


    "What a coincidence!" An Feng slowed down a little. Eve Ludlow is the secretary and assistant recruited by the Human Resources Department last time. An Feng Shenlong never sees the end, and they don''t have many opportunities to meet. Most of the time, they are bored in the office in a daze, sorting out some documents. letter.


    But today''s Eve has a different style from the usual office white-collar workers, so that An Feng hesitated. The current Eve, with her hair tied up, is wearing a vest, a pair of tight gray cotton sweatpants, and a pair of white sneakers. She runs healthy and energetic... It''s a pity that it''s not his style.


    An Feng sighed quietly. He knew that he would find a girl with a thin waist and long legs as his assistant, but he just thought about it, he didn''t want to confuse work with personal affairs.


    Eve didn''t know that there were so many thoughts flashing through An Feng''s mind. She smiled and said, "I live near here, and I''m used to getting up and exercising every day to keep myself in good shape throughout the day."


    An Feng said: "It''s a good habit. I live in a nearby hotel, and it''s been a long time since I saw the weather."


    It is also very comfortable to have a girl to accompany you to exercise, and Eve has a lot to talk about. They chatted while running, and learned that she had worked in two companies and made a breakthrough, but there was little room for her to develop and her salary was low. After changing positions, although there are few things to do, they all demand themselves with high standards.


    From the perspective of capitalists, this kind of employee is very satisfactory.


    ��


    An Feng worked in GP company for a few days, and there was nothing complicated. He just went to guide the technical team occasionally, glanced at it from a distance, and then added a few words. In other words, a day''s work can be completed in one hour.


    Efficiency will naturally increase.


    The rest of the time, he played games in the office, but most of the online games in the United States were relatively fair, and he couldn��t experience the thrill of domestic RMB fighters. He played several games, but none of them were suitable. Bored, surfing the web and came across a report about a shooting show in Oklahoma.


    An Feng has heard about it in China for a long time. Oklahoma, which is adjacent to Texas, holds a weapon shooting exhibition every year. Around June, fans from all over the US military gather together to participate in the largest and most violent weapon feast. , At that time, there will be a shooting event comparable to war.


    Thinking of guns, he remembered how depressed he was to play with guns in California, with all kinds of restrictions, and even gun shops had no automatic weapons or large-caliber weapons. Some people say that children in California mostly swim outdoors and play ball, while children in Texas play with guns and hunt wild boars. This is how they become tough.


    And I am in Cowboy Texas... An Feng searched the nearby gun shop on the Internet, and planned to go to the addiction of automatic weapons tomorrow. I have been in the United States for almost a year, and I have never even touched an automatic weapon. It is too unreasonable... As everyone knows, When he first came to the United States, An Feng''s biggest wish was to touch a gun once. Slowly, it has evolved to the point where it is not satisfied with semi-automatic weapons and limited magazines, but is pursuing unlimited magazines and fully automatic weapons.


    People''s desires cannot be satisfied, that''s what I said, and there are more typical ones that appear later - An Feng accidentally found a piece of information, saying that there was a weapon dealer in a county in central Texas that was not doing well. Want to transfer your own store, or a partnership.


    The store owner also listed the honors of the gun shop, such as joining the American Rifle Association, the American Shooting Sports Foundation, and having a high-level FFL (Federal Firearms License). What is FFL used for? It can sell and buy automatic weapons, offensive weapons... a lot of advantages, An Feng is dazzled.


    And these are good conditions that California gun shops don''t have!


    An Feng was really moved. According to what he learned, Texas gun control is relatively lax, even allowing private individuals to own automatic weapons. However, the application is more troublesome, and not everyone can take automatic weapons. An Feng has no confidence in himself, and he doesn''t have a benevolent **** face!


    It is troublesome to apply for automatic weapons, and it is not free enough to go to a gun shop to play, and the sale of bullets is limited... After much deliberation, An Feng couldn''t get rid of the idea of ??investing in a gun shop himself. With a gun shop, how can I play in the future? Private possession of automatic weapons is not allowed? No problem, I''ll just play in the gun shop! It''s just that the venue is mine, the guns are mine, the bullets are mine, and the employees are there to serve me!


    An Feng thinks the gun shop is the best no matter what he thinks! How many guns can one person buy? How much is a store? The two are not comparable at all!


    But the key point is to invest in gun stores, because An Feng can''t win FFL.


    While others are still struggling with what gun to buy and how many bullets to prepare, An Feng is already worrying about how large a gun store he has.

 Chapter 94： did it together

    Chapter 94 together


    An Feng continued to search for information in this area, and found that there were quite a few, but central Texas was too far away from him, and it was not convenient to go back and forth, so he was placed in the back row. He checked one by one around Austin, and found that there were many gun shops, but he had to consider whether the shop owners were willing to partner.


    As for opening his own shop, An Feng didn��t think about it at all, let��s not talk about nationality, even the federal firearms license has many ways, some can sell automatic weapons, and some can only deal in semi-automatic weapons. An Feng wants to have a gun right away, so investing in a gun store is the wisest way.


    When he was screening, he suddenly thought of the problem of hunting. With the wonderful life at Paul��s hunting ground last time, he also fell in love with this sport, but there was still a problem with the rules: California has too many restrictions to play, Texas has fewer restrictions, hunting Sports are also popular, and the land is much cheaper than in California.


    Guns and land combine.


    An Feng spent the whole night looking for information. This addiction is getting worse and worse. It is best to invest in a gun shop, and then invest in a hunting ground that is very close to the hunting ground. When you have nothing to do, you can fly here to live for a few days. Playing with guns, hunting and enjoying a completely private domain, why not do it?


    Just do what you say, and now you have nearly 60 million in your pocket. What are you afraid of spending this much? On the second day, his conditions were a little more stringent. There must be a gun shop that sells automatic weapons, and it must be close to a hunting ground with beautiful natural scenery. The single condition may be easier, but it is rare to have both.


    Later, he called his assistant Eve, told her what he thought, and asked her to help him find it. Two people are better than one person. They exclude the ones that are close to the big cities, which means that there are no vast hunting grounds, and they can''t be too far away from the city. Otherwise, where should the gun shop open?


    Eventually, Eve recommended a place: Buchanandan in Lano County.


    An Feng turned her laptop screen and carefully looked at the information on it. On the south shore of Lake Buchanan and Ink Lake, there is a vacant lot for sale with the description that it could be used as housing, woodland or hunting grounds. There is a gun store in a town less than two kilometers away, but there is no information on the sale.


    Gun store investment is different from transfer. It is easy to solve the problem by spending money on investment, but the land is a bit large. There are more than 3,500 acres of land for sale, with the longest point being about 8 kilometers and the widest point being 4 kilometers. Because of its good location near the mountains and rivers, the price tag is very high, with an asking price of 21 million US dollars. An Feng looked around again, and the average price was the same.


    Even if there is a smaller one, it will cost five or six million, but the location is really not comparable to it, and there are no gun shops nearby. I looked around and looked back at the big land. It is next to Ink Lake. , You can also overlook the Buchanan Dam in the distance, and there is a river passing downstream. The coast is used as an outdoor scenic spot, an excellent leisure place, where you can fish, boat, swim, camp and picnic.


    This means that its use is not just as monotonous as playing guns and hunting. Occasionally, you can gather some friends, go boating on the lake, and watch the scenery; come to the river to fish, swim, or have a bonfire party. When you are bored, you can also Chase herds of animals in off-road vehicles.


    There are many benefits, but the cost is a bit high. With 20 million US dollars on the border between Texas and Mexico, you can easily get 30,000 acres of land, which is almost ten times larger than it is now, but it is a bit remote, with many mountains, and there is no such thing as around Buchanan. The scenery of green trees and long streams.


    Confused in his heart, An Feng made up his mind: Anyway, it''s not a problem to keep so much money in the bank. I can''t find any investment projects recently, so I just use it to buy land. At most, I will mortgage the land when I have no money. With Roger as a partner and a friend, the mortgage rate of 70% is appropriate.


    Consoling himself in this way, An Feng slapped his thigh: That''s it!


    After identifying the target, he told Eve to find a lawyer familiar with the local laws, then call the number left by the intermediary and make an appointment with the other party to meet in the afternoon.


    In the afternoon, Eve looked at the time, then at An Feng who was calmly playing with his mobile phone, and reminded: "Mr. An, it will take about an hour to drive."


    Buchanandan in Llano County is about 100 kilometers away from Austin. In terms of the transportation system in the United States, an hour''s drive is not too far.


    But An Feng shook his head: "No hurry, wait until I pass this level."


    Eve raised her hand to look at the time on her watch. The appointment time was not enough, but the boss still looked leisurely. It seemed that she had to drive fast. I hope there are no police on the road.


    Ten minutes later, An Feng put away his phone. While Eve was waiting, he stretched leisurely, yawned, picked up his suit jacket and put it on his body, left the office slowly, and walked downstairs in small steps go. Eve breathed a sigh of relief, the boss is really hard to serve!


    Just when Eve wanted to hurry up and drive the car out, An Feng stopped her, and he pointed at the top of his head. Eve raised her head in doubt, and listened carefully. There was a roar from a distance. After a while, a plane The Bell 206 helicopter painted in blue landed on the lawn, and An Feng walked towards the helicopter with his head down.


    "Come with me!"


    Eve froze for a moment, and quickly followed her boss.


    How does the top black gold card work? Now this scene gave An Feng the answer, that''s how it was played! An Feng asked Angela to call him a plane to fly directly to the destination, and at the same time observe the land condescendingly, so that he can have a clearer view, which is much more comfortable than driving!


    After getting on the plane, Eve was so impressed that she had nothing to say. Sure enough, the way of thinking of ordinary people and rich people is different. When she was thinking about which way to drive, the rich man was thinking about what model to fly. Helicopter... This person is more than a person, sooner or later it will **** people off!


    It took about 20 minutes to fly around Lake Buchanan, 100 kilometers away. An Feng let the helicopter pilot hover over the area he provided. The vacant land is located at the junction of Lano County and Burnett County. South Lake is a huge dam that provides flood control and hydroelectric power. Immediately below the "own land" is Ink Lake, which turns into a river with a beach along the bank and some residents.


    As for the land, looking down, it is lush, with mountains and grasslands. When the helicopter passed by at low altitude, it also alarmed the deer hiding in the woods. There are few people in the west, but there are several roads passing through, and the transportation is convenient, but the south can be north... After some observation, An Feng has an evaluation.


    "If you can round up the contract amount, I will give you a bonus!" An Feng suddenly smiled and said to Eve.


    Eve was taken aback for a moment, and immediately reacted: "Leave it to me, Mr. An."


    The plane chose a place indicated by An Feng to land, which was the place agreed with the manager, in front of an ordinary country bar. The landing of the plane attracted the attention of the crowd. People who had nothing to do in the bar came out and saw a Chinese in a suit and leather shoes jumping down with a black-haired secretary, followed by a secretary who was dressed in the same dress but looked more serious. The guy who looked like an insurance salesman greeted him and shook hands with a smile on his face.


    Finally, the business is discussed in the small bar... There is no way, this place is just a small village of thirty or forty families according to domestic standards.


    Eve was negotiating business with the land agency, while An Feng came to the bar with nothing to do, ordered a glass of whiskey, and then invited several guys dressed in cowboys to drink. A straightforward person, it is easy to make friends anywhere, and the locals are straightforward, so it is easy to chat with An Feng.


    Knowing the gun shop that An Feng was talking about, some cowboys said that they opened it: "Everyone knows that place. It is the gun shop opened by Old Mike. It has a long history. The customers are the residents in our neighborhood. Or tourists provide supplies, the business is very mediocre, and you actually want to invest?"


    An Feng smiled and said to the outspoken cowboy: "It''s okay, I like guns, hunting and outdoor activities, so I don''t care about profit or loss."


    The cowboy shrugged: "That''s all right."


    The bargain between Eve and the intermediary lasted for half an hour. Since the helicopter had flown several times just now, Eve memorized some thorny points, so the fight was particularly powerful. It may also be the reason for the bonus to help out. She was young The young girl actually has the spirit of a cowgirl drawing a gun.


    As a result, the deal was really sold for 20 million yuan, saving Anfeng 1 million yuan.


    Then he asked a cowboy to take him to the gun shop named "Mike Firepower". The red-skinned old man cleaning the gun, the cowboy said hello: "Mike, someone is looking for you!"


    The red-skinned old man looked up, with a beard, a cowboy hat, and a revolver. A typical western cowboy, when he saw An Feng coming, he asked suspiciously, "What''s the matter?"


    An Feng looked at the slightly shabby storefront, came to Mike, smiled and said: "Hi, Mike! Do you want to have a bigger store with thousands of guns, containers full of bullets, and a wide shooting range? A store where you can vent your firepower to your heart''s content and welcome enthusiastic gun fans?"


    Old Mike stopped cleaning his gun and blurted out: "April Fool''s Day has come earlier?"

 Chapter 95： Landlord from the small town

    Chapter 95 The big landlord from the small town


    Of course, An Feng was playing for real, but it was a bit exaggerated to say it directly... After everyone recovered, An Feng expressed his thoughts: "I bought the land on the south bank of Mo Lake, and I plan to It will be used as a hunting ground and woodland, and it is planned to invest in a gun shop to facilitate communication among gun lovers.��


    An Feng focused on hunting grounds and gun friends. Eve had done his homework beforehand, and now he is following what he likes. In such a small town, and in a tough place like Texas, farmers�� spare time activities are not playing with guns. It''s just hunting, so what he said should be able to gain favorability points.


    After hearing An Feng''s thoughts, the old Mike said strangely: "Buy a piece of land just for occasional hunting? The thinking of you rich people is really incomprehensible."


    An Feng smiled: "How about it, are you interested?"


    Old Mike shook his head: "No, this is a gun store passed down from my father. Someone once wanted to buy my gun license at a high price and was rejected."


    An Feng said: "It''s not what you think, I mean, the gun shop is still managed by you, and I''m only in charge of investment, and then change to a more spacious place to operate, expand the scale of the gun shop, it is best to have a standard The shooting range, as for other things, it is completely up to you."


    Old Mike said: "You want to say that we cooperate and then operate in another place?"


    An Feng looked around: "Of course, don''t you think this place is a bit small? At least build an outdoor shooting range of about 5,000 square meters? Then expand the store by two or three times, add a few shelves in that corner, and An area that sells specialty clothing, boots, cowboy hats, that sort of thing.��


    "By the way, I also want to hire a few cowboys, or forestry workers, but they should be common, right? I feel that cowboys are good at all kinds of things!"


    "We love to hear that!" The cowboys who came to join in the fun said proudly.


    An Feng looked at the old Mike who was already moved. He thought about it carefully, and said in English with a regional accent: "The ink lake is a big land, and the location is good. If you want to be a forest farm, you have to hire a lot of people. workers, or a mixed operation of livestock and forest farms is more suitable."


    Although the answer was irrelevant to the question, An Feng still expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for your proposal."


    Old Mike continued: "How much do you plan to invest? It takes a lot of money to build a big gun shop."


    "Is it enough to invest one million temporarily?" An Feng said.


    Old Mike nodded: "It''s enough. Although you can''t buy a few thousand guns, it''s more than enough to double the scale, but the labor cost for expansion is very high."


    At this time, a clerk spoke in Spanish: "We can hire those Mexicans to do it. Their labor cost is two-thirds of that of the construction company."


    An Feng also said in Spanish: "Is the quality guaranteed?"


    Everyone looked at An Feng in surprise. They thought it was rare for this yellow man to speak fluent English, but they didn''t expect that he was still proficient in Spanish.


    The clerk smiled sheepishly: "You speak Spanish really well. But of course, the quality of the construction of the Mexicans is the same as that of the local residents, and the speed is faster. And the outdoor shooting range is not a residence, so there is no need to Pay too much attention to quality issues, and do a good job of safety protection.��


    Old Mike said, "Besides the gun shop, I think you need a land steward?"


    "Yes, I don''t often live here." An Feng said.


    "Then I recommend someone, Lawrence. He is a skilled old cowboy, trustworthy, and is currently looking for a job. If you need it, I can call him over."


    "It''s troublesome." An Feng said.


    Old Mike picked up his trendy touch-screen computer and chatted in a chattering voice. After a while, an old cowboy who was about his age and dressed in the same jeans and long-sleeved shirt came in, hugged Old Mike with a smile, and then The two sides knew each other: "This is Lawrence, an experienced cowboy."


    "Nice to meet you, Lawrence!" An Feng also shook hands with him.


    Lawrence smiled: "It''s really time for you to buy this land. This land is very good. It can be used as both a residential area and a mountain area. It may appreciate in value in the future."


    "Haha, I''m so glad you said that." An Feng smiled and sat down with them.


    After getting to know each other, everyone gets to the point and makes suggestions on cooperation matters. An Feng''s idea is to choose the address of the gun shop next to the highway. First, the transportation is convenient. Although there are few residents in Buchanandan, there are still many scattered residents nearby, which consumes a lot of guns and ammunition. Second, private land, He can mark out a large part, and the shooting range is next to the hillside, without the need for additional safety walls.


    Lawrence��s suggestion is that at least three forest managers are needed, and some beef cattle can be considered in the flat areas along the river, and two to three cowboys are needed. He felt that it would be too wasteful to just use such a good land as a hunting ground, and even areas close to roads and rivers were the first choice for residential areas.


    An Feng doesn''t know anything about woodland breeding at all. He bought the land on impulse just to play hunting, but it''s okay. The location of this land is very good, and a new residential area is forming in the vicinity, so he put For a period of time, it would not be a loss to change hands.


    This can be regarded as a kind of land investment.


    Old Mike and Lawrence were left to handle other matters. Anfeng flew back to sign the contract with the land agent, arranged for a lawyer to look over it, and paid 20 million US dollars by bank transfer, and then returned to Buchanan to sign a contract with Old Mike and pay Give him 1.3 million US dollars, of which 1 million is used for the purchase of guns and ammunition, and 300,000 is the cost of expansion. The high labor cost in the United States is reflected here. If it is a domestic construction team, the price can be reduced by at least one-third, the speed can be increased by 50%, and the quality is equivalent.


    After dealing with these matters, An Feng''s account balance plummeted from the original 50 million to more than 30 million. The speed of spending money is really terrifying. However, he did not expect at the beginning that several industries have partners, and the money he paid has been reduced by 30 to 40%, so the remaining money will naturally be more.


    He doesn''t care about these anymore, he has spent a lot of time investing in it, and now he will go to the gun shop to have a good time. The first is automatic weapons. In the words of old Mike, these licenses have been obtained as early as his father''s time. Not to mention automatic weapons, if you go up a level, you can open your own workshop to make guns.


    But...the difference is not big now, the gun shop is all his.


    An Feng found a lot of good stuff, the classic M16 rifle of the US military, the gun king AK47, and the .50 caliber M2 heavy machine gun, that is, the guy on the roof of the US military Humvee. M249 light machine gun, Remington MSR sniper rifle, and some large-caliber sniper rifles, McMillan''s TAC-50 and so on.


    These are either fully automatic or large bore and are rarely seen in California.


    An Feng carried these guys on his shoulders and went to the small shooting range at the back to try them one by one. The automatic weapon was frantically playing with the trigger, and the bullets were fired in a few seconds. In automatic mode, the bullets fly out like flowing water when the trigger is pulled.


    If the M16 is not fun, replace it with an AK-47. If you don��t need a 30-round magazine, replace it with a drum magazine with a capacity of 60 or 70 rounds, and shoot the gun at the target. Before I was satisfied, I switched to the M249 light machine gun, smashed the human-shaped target into pieces, and dropped the shell casings all over the floor. He also wanted to try a heavy machine gun, but this guy was too lethal and the environment was not suitable. In the end, he switched to an anti-material sniper rifle to experience the scene where a shot is like a thunderstorm.


    TAC-50 is a 12.7mm anti-materiel weapon. Compared with Barrett��s M82 series, it is not very well-known, because the US military only buys it in small quantities��but it is used as a custom weapon for SEALs: Mk15-MOD0-SASR. Seals also used the M82 series at the beginning, but unfortunately the accuracy could not keep up with the requirements of special forces. The TAC-50 is much stronger. It once hit a hit record of 2,430 meters and knocked down a terrorist who was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.


    An Feng thought about using this gun to hunt. It is estimated that even a bear could be torn in half.


    An Feng spent the whole afternoon playing with guns, at least thousands of rounds of ammunition were consumed in the shooting range. This speed made the shop assistant dumbfounded. The character of BOSS is no less than that of the people of Texas. They can''t stop playing with guns, and their skills are not bad. Occasionally, the accuracy rate is very high.


    Having played enough and tired of playing, An Feng put the big guy on his back, crossed two light machine guns on his back, his body was covered with bullet chains, and he had a pistol on each leg. Equipped with a sniper rifle, wearing a hat and sunglasses, and took several cool photos one after another.


    Then upload to the space, micro = blog. Since he came to the United States, some people have paid attention to his movements. If these photos with full firepower are uploaded, they will definitely be envious of those military warriors who can only touch nail clippers... An Feng clicked upload with malice, staring at the screen and grinning.

 Chapter 96： vanity

    Chapter 96 Flashy


    Because of finding new fun, An Feng stayed in Texas for an extra week.


    As for GP company... The troubles of the research team are basically solved, everything is ready, and the rest is to develop graphene batteries, and there is no need for Anfeng here. And to be honest, he didn''t take much responsibility, at most he showed up for a few minutes every day to take a look at the progress of the research and development, and occasionally gave a few words and pointers. Rush to the blue sky.


    Lawrence, the director of the hunting ground, recruited his men, and An Feng gave some money to the cowboys to consider buying livestock. There was no other way, his knowledge of cattle and sheep was game... In addition, the gun shop was going through the address change procedures. On private land, next to the highway, the transportation is convenient, the store is three times larger than the original one, and the outdoor shooting range is expanded to about ten times the original one.


    Land does not cost money, so the 1 million invested by Anfeng can be completely used for bullets. Moreover, the expansion of the gun store means having a wider venue for activities and gaining the support of the surrounding residents. This is something An Feng did not expect at the beginning, and it feels like it always unintentionally contributes to many good things.


    The issue of changing the location of the gun store is completely left to Mike. Those associations, licenses, etc., feel that it is not appropriate for a foreigner to do it, but a local cowboy, a stubborn old man who has been running a gun store in Texas for decades , To be honest, the local government dare not make things difficult for him.


    After finishing the work, An Feng rented a business jet and flew home.


    After a short stay for a few days, he came to Los Angeles. It is mid-April now, and fertilizers for wheat, corn, and soybeans are now on sale. There are not many responses from customers so far. Maybe many people are staying on the sidelines. The information provided by a small number of enthusiastic farmers shows: Wheat growing faster than usual.


    He looked at the data submitted by the technicians at Tailan Company, and the growth of the crops was not much different from what he had expected. Even though the temperature in various parts of the west is higher than usual this year, it is still going in the expected direction. Simply put, it is very successful, orders are gradually increasing, and the company is busy.


    An Feng felt very fulfilled this morning, doing a lot of things��if sitting in the office playing games and listening to music counts. At noon, Gu Li drove him to Chinatown to eat a Chinese meal with a different flavor. When he was rubbing his stomach and thinking about what to do next, someone called him.


    An Feng answered: "Hi, Roger!"


    Roger said: "Hi, Bruce, long time no see, are you in Los Angeles?"


    This guy makes such a coincidence every time he calls, An Feng smiled and said, "Yes."


    Roger''s laughter came: "Are you busy now? I have a very lively water party where many hot girls and young people gather. Do you want to join?"


    An Feng thought for a while and asked, "Where is it?"


    "Wait a minute!"


    It was a bit noisy over there, the call was cut off, and after a while, a video call came over. When An Feng answered, Roger''s dripping smiling face appeared on the screen, and the camera turned around, showing the blue sea and the endless ocean, while he was standing on the deck of a yacht to take pictures.


    "Guess it?" Roger wiped the water off his face, "This is my yacht that just arrived last year! I''m currently twelve nautical miles away from Santa Monica, and I''m enjoying a wonderful afternoon of handsome men, beautiful women, champagne and beer ! The party has just started, come here quickly!"


    An Feng rolled his eyes: "I have to swim too!"


    Roger curled his lips: "Please! Dude! It seems that you have been sitting in the office for a long time and your mind has degenerated! You need to rest and have fun, you know? Okay, let me remind you, please change your mind? What is your helicopter doing? Think of it? A really cool way to come out!"


    After chatting for a while, An Feng put down his phone, pondered for ten seconds, and picked up his phone again.


    ��


    Ten minutes later, a black knight flew across the sea and flew over a white yacht. A group of coolly dressed men and women on the deck of the yacht looked up at the sky. The plane circled several times. Under the attention of the crowd, the cabin door opened, and a man who took off his suit jacket stepped on the landing gear. Cheers, Roger, standing at the top of the open-air cockpit, waved and shouted.


    The plane lowered its height to about five or six meters above the sea surface. Suddenly, the man on the plane jumped and fell into the sea with a splash. The crowd burst into cheers and applause. After a while, a swimming figure approached, climbed onto the yacht from the rear, and warmly hugged Roger who came to greet him.


    Roger let go of him with a smile: "Did you hear the girls screaming at you?"


    "The enthusiasm is unstoppable!" An Feng took the bath towel handed over by a red-haired girl, nodded at her with a smile, and then wiped his face gracefully.


    The red-haired girl said adoringly, "Your action just now was so cool! Is that your plane?"


    An Feng nodded: "Of course, do you want to dance too?"


    The red-haired girl said: "I''m a little scared."


    An Feng smiled: "As long as you want, I can teach you."


    Roger spoke at this time: "Don''t worry, you will talk to me later, but now please let my good friend Bruce go down and change a set of clothes."


    The red-haired girl waved at An Feng.


    An Feng and Roger came to the lower deck by stepping on the stairs. Their eyes lit up. It was like a presidential suite in a hotel. It was luxurious and beautiful, with sofas, TVs, bars and counters. There were so many windows and excellent lighting. There were also supporting facilities when walking inside A unique kitchen, a luxurious washroom, a set of VIP bedrooms for the owner...


    If you don''t want to sunbathe, it''s okay to sleep late here. He walked into the bathroom, took a pair of unused swimming trunks from the cabinet, threw the suit worth thousands of dollars into the trash can, changed into these brightly colored beach shorts, and returned to the living room.


    Roger poured two margaritas, one of which was passed to An Feng.


    An Feng took the cocktail and praised: "What a luxurious yacht, you have a good eye, it''s great! Also, don''t mind if I ask how much you spent?"


    Roger touched the glass with him: "Thank you for your compliments. As for the price, it is produced by Azimut, a top yacht brand in Italy. It took a year to order, and the total cost reached three million. There are two It has a full deck and a half deck, with a huge external capacity and a maximum speed of 27 knots."


    "It''s quite affordable!" An Feng took a sip of wine. He spent 3.5 million on the helicopter. This yacht is at least 30 meters long and looks like a presidential suite on the sea. Are helicopters expensive? For him who is used to living a luxurious life, there is still a little surprise.


    Roger laughed: "Oh, I forgot that you are a millionaire and shouldn''t be showing off numbers in front of you!"


    An Feng also laughed.


    However, it is correct to call the yacht a "luxury house on the sea". An Feng is used to large numbers, so he feels that Roger''s yacht is affordable. If when he first came to the United States, after automatically converting it into RMB in his mind, he would complain about the evil and luxurious life of the American imperialists at a price of nearly 20 million.


    According to Roger��s usual style, the party must definitely have hot girls, and it��s such a good environment for yachting. The ratio of men and women on board is basically 1:3, and the women must be beautiful. Hot girls from different regions and different skin colors gathered together, dangling in **** bikinis in front of men, or lying on the deck, covered with sunscreen, sunbathing leisurely.


    An Feng clinked glasses with various heroes and drank with each other. Not to mention, after hanging out with Luo Jie for a long time, there are actually some friends who can be named by themselves, or they also know their friends. The result is naturally that acquaintances meet with many topics, chatting all over the world, and exchanging each other''s ways of enjoying.


    Later, everyone played a game of taking off the bikini with one hand. Needless to say, it is more proficient than anyone else''s hand. An Feng also played a game under everyone''s instigation. Naturally, he lost and was fined a few cups. liquor. These people are not addicted, and they suggest playing a card game, and whoever loses will ask the other party to challenge in full view... It''s like the big adventure we played, but the content of the game tends to be eighteen forbidden.


    As Roger''s special friend, An Feng couldn''t get away because of the eye-catching diving just now. A group of young men and women circled around him, letting him try all kinds of delicious games, including quickly eating the ice in the girl''s mouth with his mouth within the specified time... It''s not difficult, because there is enough time, basically it is A test of how to pay attention to the timing of the game in the wonderful situation of tongue clash.

 Chapter 97： confused

    Chapter 97 Confused


    On the vast blue ocean, the yacht drifting with the current is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The handsome men and women gather together, enjoy endless delicious food and wine, and never get tired of the moving figure. Without the constraints of reality and morality, they can play freely. The crowd sang and danced, regardless of each other.


    Roger took out a bag of dollar bills and distributed them to the men: "Guys, come on! Small denomination dollar bills, the favorite of drug dealers, come and get some!"


    Everyone stretched out their hands to collect money, and An Feng also took some. The denominations were not large, and they were all ten or twenty dollars, but the cumulative amount was quite a lot. Roger, wearing sunglasses, stood in front of the crowd, shaking a wad of money in his hand: "Girls! See? These are all prepared for you!"


    Roger threw a handful of money into the sky suddenly, and dollar bills flew all over the sky. Yanmas in cool bikinis were laughing and grabbing, and some even knelt on the ground, poking their buttocks to pick up money. Roger coughed a few times, and then said: "There are more here, as long as you perform well and satisfy my friends, the money will be yours! Now, show your skills quickly !"


    An Feng weighed the few stacks of dollar bills in his hand. Although they were of small denominations, they added up to tens of thousands. Those models and babes who made extra money found their targets one after another, and showed off their enchanting looks in front of men. . Just now that red-haired foreign horse came to An Feng and performed a hot dance of wanting to welcome and rejecting. Her only task was to satisfy An Feng, and then put all the money on her.


    The game the men play is simple: Pay the girls to show off their beauty. Money can make them break through the bottom line again and again, touching each other, kissing with their companions, and even the 18th ban... while the men who control wealth are high above them, playing with them wantonly...


    After an afternoon of frantic mischief on the yacht, the excitement shifted to the ground again, and there was a male and female carnival party. Afterwards, I couldn''t stand it any longer, so An Feng returned to the hotel with his arms around the Yanmars. The sky was dark... Woke up the next day , in addition to being uncomfortable, there is also a piece of emptiness in my heart.


    Turning his head to look at the naked horses around him, the air was filled with a strange smell mixed with alcohol, perfume, sweat and body fluids, which was uncomfortable. Thinking back to every time I went to Roger''s young people''s party, there was always a scene of absurdity and relationship confusion.


    After a while, some people find it exciting, but An Feng feels that the only thing that comes from indulgence and crazy play is the headache and confusion afterwards. When he wakes up, he remembers the whole process, either the woman sat on him and rode a horse, or he pressed the woman to stir up, No communication, no emotion, looking at strange faces of false happiness dominated by money. In retrospect, I feel like a beast that only knows how to mate.


    He doesn''t know what he''s after, **** without love?


    He got out of bed with a headache, found a few clothes on the floor that he could wear, and called Guli from the landline in the living room, asking him to pick him up. Hang up the phone and go to the bathroom to fill up the water, wash your face in front of the sink, look at yourself in the mirror with a pale face, and smile wryly, the consequences are very serious.


    Wiped his face and left the hotel.


    Gu Li parked his car downstairs, An Feng got in the car, Gu Li asked, "Where are you going?"


    "Shopping mall." An Feng leaned on the seat and said.


    "The clothes on your body are strange." Gu Li said.


    "I know." An Feng was helpless. Of course it was strange. Anyway, when he returned to the shore, he only had a pair of beach pants. These mixed and matched clothes belonged to others. , or hide in the hotel and wait for rescue.


    But... nothing to do Anyone''s laziness can be worn like An Feng.


    Go back to the hotel to catch up on sleep, but wake up after a short sleep, lying on the bed staring at the ceiling in a daze. At this time, I specially hope that there will be like-minded women cuddling with each other. I have no other thoughts, just enjoy the warmth of this afternoon, but for some reason, when he fantasizes about this scene, there is always a familiar woman in his mind. The figure... He turned around in annoyance and hugged a pillow, chatting for comfort.


    He felt that he was trapped in the vicious circle of luxury and money, only looking at money, wanting to exchange it for everything he could enjoy, courage, courage, and crazy pursuit of material comfort, advocating consumption... But through the veil of flashiness, he saw It''s just hypocrisy, ugly and tired.


    ��


    An Feng couldn''t sleep at night, refused Gu Li''s pick-up, drove out by himself, wandered alone in the street, and found a bar aimlessly.


    The bar has an elegant style, and there are many handsome men and women. It seems to be a high-end place. An Feng came to the bar and asked the bartender for a glass of whiskey.


    The bartender asks, "With ice?"


    "I don''t add anything." An Feng shook his head, and took the glass from the bartender. Drinking pure whiskey is the way tough guys drink it, and a tumbler is a must.


    One bite, the strong personality of whiskey directly impacts the senses, and its original color and taste are best reflected. Then there was a moment of silence, the music in the bar was brisk, and there were people coming and going, but he turned a blind eye, his eyes were out of focus, and he always felt that something was missing in his heart.


    A gust of fragrant wind blew, and a Yanma with big white legs and a short skirt tightly wrapped around the buttocks came to the side, leaning against the bar, staring at the silent An Feng for several seconds with light blue eyes, seeing him not Impressed, he took the initiative to say hello: "Hey, don''t you want me to have a drink?"


    An Feng had no choice but to: "Take this lady to drink..."


    "Dry Martini," Yanmar said, "My name is Juliet."


    "Bruce." An Feng said casually, continued to drink his wine, and did not intend to continue the conversation. Juliet said curiously: "You are such a strange person. I have watched you for a long time. From the way you drink whiskey, I feel that you are a man with a story."


    An Feng cherishes words like gold: "Because I''m thinking about things."


    Juliet took a sip of her cocktail and asked, "Can you share your... troubles?"


    An Feng didn''t want to say it at first, but he was really bored in his heart, so he said: "I wonder if money can only buy false feelings."


    Juliet heard this and said: "It depends on how much money you have, but a person like you... is wearing an expensive suit, and the watch on his wrist may not be able to buy it for less than a hundred thousand, and there is no tie, which proves that you are also Dress like this. So you are a rich man who has no shortage of money but no affection!"


    An Feng said: "You are just speculating, and you didn''t answer."


    Juliet shook her head: "I don''t know, but I know that money can make most women ignore your race, figure, appearance, and even gender. Without money, it will only lead to constant small conflicts in the family. Small quarrels, seven days of big quarrels, always worrying about some trivial things in life."


    An Feng smiled bitterly: "This is not a good answer."


    Juliet laughed: "Because this is a boring question that rich people like you would consider."


    An Feng shrugged: "Maybe."


    The phone rang, and he picked it up to answer: "Hi, Roger!"


    "Hey, Bruce, there''s another gigantic, young, handsome--"


    An Feng had a headache: "Oh no! You should leave it to other young people!"


    "What''s the matter? Girlfriend is back?" Roger said on the other end.


    An Feng said: "No, I just want to be alone."


    "Well, it''s really hard to understand, but I respect your wishes! I wish you a happy life and make adjustments. Next time, welcome a better life with me!"


    "Okay." An Feng hung up the phone.


    Juliet saw him put down the phone, and said, "It seems that the troubles you encountered are really serious."


    An Feng threw the phone on the bar, just took a sip of wine, the call came again, and he answered: "Hello?"


    "Hi, Bruce! How are you doing these days?" Katerina''s voice, which she hadn''t seen for a long time, came.


    "It''s not enough." An Feng said.


    Catilina said: "The tone is a little tired, let me guess, is it working on a woman, is there more than one woman around?"


    An Feng smiled: "Yes, there are many."


    Catilina''s voice softened: "Come to my place when you are free? I haven''t eaten yours for a long time, and I miss it a little...other people''s are always not as hard and powerful as yours."


    An Feng smiled: "No, I have a companion by my side, and I can''t get away."


    Catilina said, "It''s a pity, I have a lot of hot girls here - come on, girls! Say hello to the majority owner of our magazine!"


    A group of women shouted on the phone: "Hi Bruce! We love your dajiba!"


    "Pfft!" An Feng sprayed the wine, and the bartender on the opposite side suffered, he hurriedly apologized: "I''m so sorry!"


    The bartender was still very personable��especially after An Feng handed him a handful of dollars of varying denominations, even if An Feng punched him in the face, he would probably greet him with a smile. This scene made Juliet stunned. She really didn''t understand the world of rich people. This handful of dollar bills was at least thousands of dollars.


    On the other end of the phone was Katilina''s laughter: "Are you sure you can''t come? There are a lot of people!"


    An Feng took the tissue from the bartender and wiped his mouth: "I don''t have time to go."


    "Oh, that''s a pity, then I''ll just have to look for other hunks," Katilina said.


    "I hope you have a good time." An Feng said, after hanging up the phone, he tapped her number a few times, moved his thumb back and forth, and finally moved it to the blacklist.


    Juliet saw this scene: "Did she do something sorry to you?"


    An Feng shook his head: "No, she and I are just ordinary friends, and we are free to do everything... It''s just that I don''t have as strong a desire to pursue as before."


    Juliet was disappointed: "Then you must not be interested in me tonight. I dressed up all night, but the first time I mustered up the courage to talk to a man, I still failed."


    An Feng snapped his fingers at the bartender: "I''ll buy you another drink."

 Chapter 98： hound is sick

    Chapter 98 The hound is sick


    As a result, An Feng was still unscrupulous.


    He drank a few cups with Juliet with white legs and buttocks. Maybe it was the effect of alcohol. The more he talked, the more he got closer to him, and he deliberately lowered his chest to show him. He is a man of blood, and he is still single. An Feng gave it to himself once. Chance. He took Juliet out of the bar, drove up the road, and then stopped halfway.


    He doesn''t want to be in a car accident.


    The SUV has a spacious space, and it is easy to perform kung fu. Due to the stimulation of the special environment, both parties got a good experience. Juliet also completed her first date with a stranger in her life. Then An Feng took her back responsibly, stopped near her home, and finally dispersed.


    Going back to the hotel and laying down on the bed, there was not much aftertaste, but a severe headache, tossing and turning, wanting to be hugged by someone, but there was nothing around him... He swore this was the last time he messed up. He figured it out, this kind of overly open relationship between men and women is not suitable for him, it is like a delicacy, it is new at first taste, but it will be annoying if it is frequent. In fact, he still longs for love in his heart. He always hopes to have a partner who can confide in his feelings and accompany him through every night, rather than a purely physical relationship.


    He returned to SLO the next day.


    The vineyard is your nest, and the slow-paced life is comfortable.


    The weather in mid-April is cool and comfortable. Looking up is a completely blue sky. There are only a few white clouds floating in the distance. Stretch out and it will be another leisurely day. He drove the sports car out of the garage and picked up the water spray gun to wash the car... He did it slowly and enjoyed the process.


    After washing off the foam, use a rag to wipe off the water stains on the sports car. At this time, a Land Rover Aurora stopped outside the door, the door opened, and a Labrador jumped out, followed by Joanna holding a dog leash. An Feng turned his head and greeted her: "Hi! Good afternoon!"


    "Good afternoon." Joanna walked towards him.


    An Feng said as if asking for credit: "How is it? It looks the same as a professional car wash, right?"


    Joanna smiled, and compared with her fingers: "It''s a little bit worse."


    Lily came in and ran to find her little friends. Not long after, a little yellow and two little blacks rushed out of the house, playing in the garden, rolling around, or pretending to be dead... An Feng leaned against the car, hugged Shuangarm and Joanna watched the dogs play, the fun of dogs is hard for humans to understand.


    Joanna suddenly pointed to one of the black dogs and said, "Eggy seems to be a little out of shape."


    "Really?" An Feng stared at Eggy. This guy is usually very lively, catching hares and scaring squirrels. Can''t see anything?


    "Ah, it vomited!" Joanna whispered.


    Eggy ran a few laps, opened her mouth and vomited. An Feng and Joanna hurried over, and the two dogs surrounded Eggy, sniffing here and there, as if caring about their little friend. An Feng touched the dog''s head, but couldn''t see anything: "It seems to be all right, it must be eating too much!"


    "It''s not like it!" Joanna squatted down and touched Dandan''s body, "It''s a little hot."


    "Of course it''s hot to run." An Feng disagreed.


    Joanna despised him: "You are such an irresponsible dog owner!"


    An Feng smiled sheepishly, and gave Joanna the seat: "Then mother dog, come here."


    Joanna didn''t dislike observing Dandan''s symptoms at all, and comforted her in her mouth: "Don''t worry, you will definitely get better."


    An Feng looked at Joanna who was squatting on the ground to comfort Eggy. She was more responsible than her own master. Joanna murmured a lot, turned around and saw An Feng staring at herself in a daze, frowned and said, "Hey! What are you thinking? Eggy must be sick, let''s take it to the doctor!"


    An Feng was stunned for a moment and came back to his senses: "Huh?"


    "See a doctor!" Joanna said anxiously, An Feng reacted and nodded: "Oh! Wait a minute, I''ll get the car out!"


    An Feng didn''t know what was going on with him just now, but he felt that Joanna''s inadvertently revealed true emotions were very attractive when she was taking care of the hound... He ran to drive the pickup truck out, and opened the door to let the three dogs and Joe Anna got in the car, turned around and rushed to the pet hospital in the city. Joanna in the car looked at Eggy from time to time, and said with experience: "If it''s not something wrong, it''s gastroenteritis."


    "If it''s just eating the wrong thing, it''s easy to deal with, but if it''s gastroenteritis, it''s a little more troublesome. Your owner has kept dogs for so long, and you really have no experience at all! Gastroenteritis is a common disease in dogs. It may manifest as diarrhea, vomiting, fever and other symptoms."


    An Feng listened to Joanna''s complaints to him while driving, and grinned in the rearview mirror. It took more than ten minutes to arrive at the pet hospital. Although there was no appointment, there were not many customers at this time, and the queue was quickly arranged. Get on the number, give the doctor a diagnosis, and the result after coming out is gastroenteritis.


    "How serious is it?" An Feng asked.


    The veterinarian said: "It''s mild, it''s not serious. Slowly laxative drugs and injections of anti-inflammatory drugs, pay attention to diet within 24 hours."


    An Feng heaved a sigh of relief, Pipi Dandan is two very smart hounds, the cleverness of the last hunting proved that, after finally raising two guys, An Feng doesn''t want to see them die before their ambitions are fulfilled ��Although he doesn''t know what Wang Xingren''s "ambition" is.


    The hound was taken for treatment according to the procedures, and Joanna also reminded: "Check Pippi too, maybe they ate the same thing."


    "Hey! I''m so stupid!" An Feng patted his head and hurried to find a doctor.


    I feel that women are still careful, and Ma Daha is a mess when she is busy. After working for a while, she turned around and saw Joanna carefully reading about the treatment of dog gastroenteritis. An Feng walked up to her and said, "Thank you, Joanna, I was really negligent!"


    "Fortunately, I discovered it early, otherwise I would have been in trouble! You can quickly read what is written on it: Severe gastroenteritis can cause dogs to fall into a coma, or even die."


    Joanna showed him the symptom book, put the two bags together, and carefully browsed the words on it. Seeing their nervousness, a female pet doctor smiled and said, "Don''t worry too much. Near death is only a rare phenomenon. But Madam''s caution is worth advocating."


    "Huh?" The two were stunned, and Joanna hurriedly explained: "No, he and I are just ordinary friends, not what you think."


    The female doctor looked at them and said in disbelief, "Sorry, I misunderstood."


    After spending some time in the hospital, Eggy was basically fine when she came out, but due to the misunderstanding just now, An Feng and Joanna were a little embarrassed and didn''t say much. They got on the pickup and left the pet hospital to go home. An Feng said: "Hey, Joanna��"


    "Don''t get me wrong about that," she said.


    "I didn''t mean that." An Feng smiled, "I want to thank you, you are right, I am not a qualified host, but thanks to you."


    Joanna said: "It''s okay, who made me like Eggy!" She touched the a little sluggish Eggy, and then went to tease the other two dogs: "Of course, there are you!"


    It was getting late when I got home, Joanna took Lily into the car, and before leaving, she said with reassurance: "Remember not to feed Eggy!"


    "I know." An Feng said.


    "Why don''t I take it back to spend the night, you are always uneasy." Joanna hesitated.


    An Feng was speechless: "Do you think I''m just that disturbing?"


    "It''s hard to say." Joanna said after serious consideration.


    "Oh! My God!" An Feng covered his head sadly, "I promise you, if Eggy eats something tonight, tomorrow I will climb fifty meters upside down for you to see!"


    "Okay, it''s a deal!" Joanna stared at him.


    "It''s a deal!" An Feng waved at her, "See you next time, Mother Dog."


    Joanna turned around to argue about something, An Feng sent her to the car: "It''s getting dark, hurry up, Joanna!"


    "Be careful!" He opened the car door, pushed Joanna up, and closed the door for him. Joanna convinced him, backed out and said "bye".


    An Feng took care of Eggy very carefully that night, and even put it on a dog leash. Holding the pillow and looking at it for a while, but thinking about it, my thoughts are chaotic, thinking about the past, the present, or imagining the future, before I feel sleepy, I can��t get rid of Joanna��s figure.

 Chapter 99： super battery

    Chapter 99 Super Battery


    Fortunately, Joanna found out in time, and Dandan''s illness improved on the second day, and on the third day, he resumed his usual life and vitality. However, An Feng suffered a lot from Joanna, and he was also pregnant. He accepted all the blame, it was his own fault anyway, and Joanna would not curse.


    Miss Fu''s cursing skills are limited, An Fengbai propped his chin in boredom, and she couldn''t beat her by answering a sentence in three minutes... The time soon came to the beginning of May, and Joanna became busy. May and June are the traditional graduation season up. And An Feng also received the latest news from GP: the battery has broken through!


    An Feng once asked that the word "breakthrough" should not be used before the super battery is actually manufactured. The apprentices all know the temper of the boss, so they usually use "progress" and "small success" instead. This time repeating three emails are all "Breakthrough" subject.


    An Feng did not dare to neglect, and flew to Austin on a special plane the next day.


    In the cabin, the notebook was looking up the report sent to him by the leader of the battery team, Etan Bassett. In the graphene research and development project, Song Wenrui is the team leader, but in terms of super batteries/capacitors, Etan Bassett, a Jew, is the real technical man. Song Wenrui is more specialized in the chip field.


    Although Anfeng''s battery/capacitor technology has the name of "graphene", it is quite different from the "graphene battery" researched on the market. Modern ones "use lithium batteries to connect the surface of graphene and the electrodes. The characteristics of rapid and massive shuttle movement". In GP''s research and development concept, these are only semi-finished products, and the technology provided by Anfeng can already be called a complete product.


    So this is the reason why the team members are obsessed and unwilling to leave even if the treatment is average. Who is willing to give up the technology beyond the current concept product?


    After Anfeng��s plane landed in Austin, the company��s special car picked him up and sent him to the headquarters of GP. Apart from anything else, together with CEO Benjamin Hawley, team leader Song Wenrui, Etan Bassett from the battery pack, and Tian Hao from the chipset, he was in a hurry. Walk into the changing room, put on dust-free clothes, and enter Laboratory No. 1 after inspection.


    In the spacious and white laboratory, the technicians are waiting. The experimental products are placed on the table.


    There is a complete set of accurate battery capacity testers in the laboratory, which can detect data such as charging and discharging time, voltage, temperature, current, etc. Now the experimenter is connecting the super battery. At the same time, Etan Bassett introduced in English with a little accent : "Compared with lithium-ion batteries of the same volume, the super battery we developed has a power density of more than 100 times, and an energy density of more than ten times..."


    "Please be amateur." CEO Hawley said jokingly.


    Everyone laughed, and the excitement relaxed a little. Bassett listed the data as simply as possible: "By comparison, the capacity of a super battery of the same volume is more than 30 times that of an ordinary battery, and the charging time is maintained within ten seconds, while the discharging time surpasses that of a capacitor, and it only takes two seconds!"


    "What about the lifespan?" An Feng asked.


    Bassett is more serious about technology bosses: "Because of the combination of three kinds of chemical engineering, the experiment speculates that after 300 charges, or after a year or more of use, the battery efficiency will still be higher than that of lithium-ion batteries on the market today. Ten times, while the maintenance cost is relatively lower."


    "Good job." An Feng praised, even a layman who doesn''t know much, knows what Bassett said about the data.


    Benjamin Hawley suppressed his excitement and tried to make his tone sound calmer, but everyone still clearly felt his joy: "What''s the cost?"


    It won��t work just to manufacture it, and the cost is too high to mass-produce. Regarding this, Bassett said: ��The cost of this Type VI experimental product is about 1.2 million U.S. dollars.��


    The figure of 1.2 million dampened the excitement of many people, the cost is too high! If it cannot be lowered, it is basically impossible to achieve full-scale mass production of the low-end. Of course, An Feng''s expression didn''t change from the beginning to the end. Nonsense, when is the cost of the experimental product not high? It is to get it out first, before we can consider how to compress the material, reduce the cost, or use counterfeit components...the last one is ignored.


    Bassett looked at the faces behind everyone''s masks. Only the laymen''s faces changed, and the experts were not surprised. He continued: "There are almost no such advanced products in the market. I think Mr. Hawley is a Great supervisor, you should know what to do."


    Hawley nodded: "Try to keep the leading cost performance, how much do you need to pay?"


    Bassett said: "I haven''t actually tested it, but according to Mr. An''s plan, the cost can be reduced to two to three times that of conventional batteries on the market, while the capacity can be kept five to eight times, and the charging time can be maintained at three to five minutes. In this regard, high-end and low-end requirements customized by enterprises are required.��


    Naturally, high-end products are the best, fastest and most expensive, for showing off. And the low-end can come at will, anyway, it is more cost-effective than other traditional batteries. Later, they watched the on-site charge and discharge test several times, and the data was astonishing. Even before the test started, the company specially replaced a special transformer.


    After watching the third discharge process and the data recorded on the computer display screen, An Feng smiled and said, "Do you know what I thought of?"


    Everyone looked at him.


    "Railgun!" An Feng said.


    Everyone suddenly realized. Indeed, electromagnetic railguns require huge currents to pass through parallel guide rails in an instant. Traditional batteries are impossible. Capacitors are possible, but they need to form a huge and bloated matrix.


    This is the reason why the Americans have been unable to equip the army after they invented the electromagnetic gun. The technology obtained by An Feng is not only in the civil field, but also has an impact on the military: if there is a nuclear reactor for power, and super batteries are used for fast charging and fast discharging, do you think there will be problems with the railgun? But he didn''t intend to show his cards so soon. Sometimes, being too eye-catching can lead to unexpected troubles.


    How cunning competitors are, they all need to abide by the rules, but a national government, they may not completely care about these... An Feng is well aware of the importance of super batteries to the military, and it also means that they will bear risks before they have enough strength, so This battery will not be available for a long time.


    Even after today, it will be destroyed.


    But back to the topic, if such an advanced technology is released, someone must be able to afford it, right? Smart companies, even if they have mastered these technologies, take their time and divide them into technical levels of ten or twenty years. The behavior of revealing the hole cards all of a sudden is not done by businessmen, and making money is about steady streams.


    So no matter from the perspective of the country or business, this battery costing more than one million yuan is destined to be impossible to appear in ten years��instead, a super battery with much weaker performance than it turned out. It can be predicted that it has brought about an unprecedented revolution in the battery industry, and its monopoly momentum is invincible.


    After watching the experiment, everyone withdrew, and everyone who visited signed a thick non-disclosure agreement. Leaking secrets would lead to a lifetime of lawsuits. At the same time, Hawley did not forget to remind the company''s legal department to pay attention to patent applications. This time it was for real. If possible, "how many times the technician went to the toilet on the way" should be recorded.


    The patent application is handed over to the specialized team of the major shareholders of the company to handle it. It is also a special case, and it is won in the shortest time. After changing out of the dust-proof clothes, everyone gathered together, and the excitement was still not relieved. After the secretary sent champagne and wine glasses, everyone clinked glasses and cheered each other.


    From electric vehicles to batteries for any mobile device, even electric aircraft, in this environment where technology is becoming more and more developed, oil is less and less, handheld devices are more and more, and cars are more and more environmentally friendly, high-capacity, fast The fast-charging and fast-discharging batteries can easily capture the market.


    The wealth is beyond doubt, and the low cost means that it has no rivals in the short term. Hundreds of billions of wealth can be easily collected, and victory will be easily captured... and the current shareholders even Thinking about how to deal with antitrust laws.


    Research and development technology An Feng thinks that no one can match, but when it comes to means, the giants are experts.

 Chapter 100： Invisible Rich

    Chapter 100 The Invisible Rich


    A few days after the incident, the company''s management continued to meet.


    Even An Feng can''t avoid it, because what''s being discussed now is the distribution of "money". The new technology is highly competitive, and there is a lot of money in front of him. If he is still in the mood to be lazy... how is it possible! When it comes to money, An Feng is not ambiguous at all.


    After discussion between the management and shareholders, the patent they decided to apply for is a "weakened version of the super battery", while the higher-tech super battery is completely confidential and does not apply for a patent, as a "proprietary technology" that outsiders will never be able to imitate ��I was knocked off and could only cry by myself.


    However, only a few people know how to make the full version of the "Super Battery", and there is no way to make a copycat. The weakened version increases publicity to increase the reputation of GP. The most direct manifestation is that the original original stock price of one dollar, now foreign companies or individuals want to invest, and now they have to pay more than ten times the price.


    Even if it is not listed, if the company has enough potential, the price of absorbing investment can double crazily, depending on how the two parties negotiate... An Feng didn''t pay much attention to this before, but after listening to everyone''s discussion, it has really gone up Quite a lot, and now the transfer of equity can earn at least ten times.


    However, he was not so poor that he wanted to sell his shares. After many meetings, everyone unanimously decided to increase the investment internally, increasing it from the original 20 million shares to 40 million shares, and then set aside a part to absorb foreign companies or investors. Individual investment - specific qualifications are also screened.


    An Feng doesn''t quite understand. I heard that shareholders don''t want cats and dogs to squeeze in. Outsiders who want to get equity must consider their abilities and qualifications in addition to paying a high price... There are too many rules in this regard, An Feng heard Confused, he called his assistant and accountant in California.


    ��


    Two days later, all the directors of the company got together.


    The content of the discussion is aimed at absorbing investment and the form and direction of future development.


    Things are many and complicated. An Feng summed it up for himself, that is: how to cheat foreign investors; how to use technology to cheat money faster.


    During the meeting, the shareholders were all present and it was very lively. An Feng, Mrs. Sinclair, Anthony, the representative of the Blue Lane family, and George, who hadn''t seen him for a long time, were sitting, and the rest were assistants or secretaries standing. The company''s shareholders don''t talk much, and most of the things are talked about by their respective assistants.


    A boring morning passed, and there was a break at lunch time. An Feng also chatted with Mrs. Sinclair for a while. The old lady didn''t seem to have much appetite. I ate dim sum with relish, and I also tasted some.


    When it comes to the issue of additional investment, An Feng has a lot of doubts in his heart, because Mrs. Sinclair will transfer most of the equity, and he will only keep about 5%, and the rest will be mainly transferred to a company called "Xin''s Energy" , it is an oil giant in the United States and enjoys a good reputation in the world.


    Mrs. Sinclair heard An Feng''s doubts and said: "The emergence of new energy will have an impact on traditional fields, such as automobiles. In the era of lithium-ion batteries, oil dominates, but after the emergence of graphene batteries, it will inevitably be Take the cake of the market from certain demographics."


    An Feng also knows that the nature of new energy is like this, but it will take a lot of time for graphene batteries to shake up the automotive industry, and oil is not only used in the automotive field. But no matter how you say it, it is impossible to avoid the fact that batteries can slowly change the market structure, so sooner or later it will become a market competition.


    She looked at An Feng, knew that he understood, and continued, "Competition will have a lot of impact on personal life. There will always be people trying to pay attention to you. If you don''t plan to be a tech star, then keep a low profile." There is no need to be too high-profile, it is more free to be an invisible rich man."


    An Feng understands, it seems that the shares have been reduced, but in fact it is just a transfer method, after calculation, he still has so many shares in his hand. Thinking about myself, the absolute controlling shareholder of the company, if it was okay to say in the past, after the company became famous, I would be too conspicuous.


    Mrs. Sinclair went on: "Invisibility is also a way to avoid trouble. Of course, competition is about the rules of the game, no one can trample on the rules, and we help you, they are not worth mentioning. But you, boy, can you Incapable of dealing with these troubles."


    The old lady''s words made An Feng understand thoroughly.


    She did not attend the meeting in the afternoon. It is said that she was unwell. An Feng glanced at the vacant seat and did not know how her condition was. However, most of the cancers were scared to death. Keep a good attitude and actively treat cancer. It''s horrible, at least he knows it well as a professional.


    silently blessed her, and the meeting continued.


    Everyone really showed their muscles, and An Feng was eye-opening. I am afraid that buying shares as an individual was just an interest. It can also be said that everyone basically maintained a wait-and-see state. Until now, it is the real thing. Shareholders have put on their armor Mrs. Sinclair''s shares will appear as the oil giant "Sinclair Energy". In addition, the newly added shares will be divided up by "Western Investment Group" and "Sinclair Fund".


    According to the explanation from assistant John Adams, it is said that in the industry, the "Western Investment Group" is very famous, and many high-tech companies in the world have its shadow. Clay Fund" is also like a shadow, so it has strong strength.


    An Feng understands that these seemingly unrelated business organizations are actually one group.


    The Blueline family holds the original shares, and the newly added part is received by the "Browline Fund"��this is just a collective name in private. In fact, it is composed of more than a dozen profit-making or non-profit foundations, and Blueline Sr. also oversaw the company''s partnership with American Express.


    This is a bit eye-catching. An Feng used to think that the Blue Lane family was just a small shareholder of Express, but since he knew that they had countless foundations under their hands, he vaguely understood that things are not that simple... The official appearance of the giants is nothing more than announcing their territories. Clear the ground.


    An Feng is delighted to hear it, competition will be inevitable in the future, if he fights alone, he might be eaten to the bone, but now there are two big guys standing up, anyone else would be wary. According to my assistants, Xin''s Energy and the Blueline Foundation, an oil giant and a financial family, are an organization with internal capital circulation... also known as a consortium.


    When they appeared as individuals, An Feng didn''t feel how strong they were, but when they joined forces, the shadows of various big companies and companies overlapped and intertwined. It was pierced, but nothing could cover up the scene of rampant power.


    So they are very powerful. Taking this into consideration, An Feng decided to give up part of the equity, and keep 51% of the shares in his own hands, that is, the holding. The help of the giants is not given for nothing, and everyone has to pay a little profit so that everyone can cooperate better. And the giants also know that if there is no guidance from Anfeng on the way of technological research and development, they will get nothing. Not only the super batteries that have appeared, but also the super chips that are under development... all need Anfeng''s technical support. Therefore, everyone is mutually beneficial and agrees with this decision.


    Then An Feng talked about low-key issues, and John Adams, an experienced assistant in this area, gave his opinion: "The easiest way is to establish multiple companies, spread the equity among them, and then consider the degree of confidentiality and future international operations. , I recommend offshore companies.��


    The exclusive accountant, Hardy Locke, also agrees: "From the financial point of view, the registration of offshore companies is simple, and the shareholder information, shareholding ratio, and income status of the client company are kept confidential, and offshore companies have no income tax and stamp duty. , can reasonably avoid a lot of taxes.��


    An Feng has heard of offshore companies and is curious about their tax avoidance methods.


    Hardy pushed his glasses, and said as concisely as possible: "Let''s use an analogy. It is reasonable and legal: Company A wants to sell products worth 100 million US dollars to foreign company B, without considering other taxes and cost deductions, and only calculating income tax : A and B trade directly, the 100 million US dollars need to calculate 35% income tax.��


    "Legal and unreasonable: If Company A first sells its goods to its offshore company for 80 million US dollars, and then sells it to overseas company B at a price of 100 million US dollars through the offshore company, the price difference of 20 million yuan will not be calculated. For income tax, only the 80 million need to calculate the 35% income tax. In total, the tax avoidance is 7 million US dollars."


    "I see." An Feng suddenly realized.


    But Hardy reminded: "This is just the simplest example! Now the United States is very wary of offshore companies. If they want to avoid taxes, the cost difference should not be too large. For goods worth 100 million, you sell them to offshore companies for 50 million. Corporations, the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) will come on like wild dogs!"


    An Feng smiled: "I heard that many large international companies have offshore subsidiaries. Do they avoid taxes like this?"


    Hardy nodded: "Of course! According to the information provided by some US senators, Microsoft has eight offshore companies, Dell and IBM have thirty-eight companies, HP has fourteen companies, and Apple has more than one. A certain senator once accused Apple of evading billions of dollars in offshore taxes, but this is a gray area that everyone defaults to, and it is still difficult for a few senators to shake the interests of large groups."


    An Feng thought about it. In the future, world trade will definitely be indispensable. Offshore tax avoidance is everyone��s default. Before the United States has issued specific laws, there is no saying whether it is illegal or not. It is only a joke that exposes itself, causing the tragedy of the IRS. But what do accountants do?


    Thinking that the United States has to deduct so much tax for overseas trade, An Feng is not happy. His uncle, I have worked hard to make a little money, and you just open your mouth at 35%? Although it is a little troublesome to transfer the funds of offshore companies to the United States for use, the United States is not the only place in the world where dollars can be consumed.


    So An Feng made a decision and decided to set up an offshore company first, fully controlling himself, and transferring a part of the equity of GP company through the offshore company, so that he would no longer bear the aura of absolute control and become a low-key rich man. Leave the killing to the giants!

 Chapter 101： Passion

    Chapter 101 Pasion


    An Feng spent time discussing matters related to offshore companies with his assistant and accountant, and chose a few backup names as a tool for invisibility and tax avoidance. It has high requirements for confidentiality, so he chose BVI (British Virgin Islands) ) registration, they are responsible for the specific bidding method, and he is only responsible for signing.


    After finishing these, the additional investment is almost confirmed, and we can start after everyone has prepared funds or vests. During this free time, An Feng flew to the hunting ground in Reno County. Lawrence had recruited three forestry managers and two cowboys, and purchased a batch of cattle and sheep.


    Old Mike��s gun shop is also under construction in full swing. Bulldozers bulldozed a large piece of land, and specially built a three-meter-high concrete **** at the rear of the shooting range, which was filled with gravel to ensure the safety of the rear when shooting. Because it is thickened, not to mention heavy machine guns, even small-caliber shells can withstand it. Old Mike just happens to have plans to buy more powerful weapons because of his high FFL rating.


    It is estimated that it will take a month at the earliest for the new gun shop to be put into operation, because the modular wooden houses are adopted. Once the goods arrive, the workers lay the foundation, and building the house is as simple as building blocks. The only time-consuming thing is the internal structure. For the sake of beauty, it takes a little effort to design.


    Seeing that he had nothing to do, An Feng returned to Los Angeles by flight.


    There was no private plane this time, because it was a temporary decision to go home, and I was too lazy to call a business jet, so I re-experienced the feeling of squeezing the plane with everyone. It may be because he is used to business jets where he can lie down and sleep, and he can also fight with the stewardess. Even the first-class cabin of civil aviation gives him a bad feeling.


    After getting off the plane, the weather in Los Angeles is as hot as ever. According to news reports, the high temperature in the western part of the United States is ahead of schedule. The highest temperature in May is 35 degrees Celsius, and it will continue to rise. There is no sign of rainfall in the near future, so the crops are facing the risk of drought... Belly Hei Anfeng couldn''t help laughing.


    "Hot, hot, la la la..." An Feng left the airport humming a transposed tune, hailed a taxi, transferred to Santa Monica Airport, and took a helicopter back to SLO. It was already afternoon when I got home, and even though the inland areas of California were repeatedly exposed to high temperatures, it was still hovering in the 20s.


    So a day later.


    An Feng was awakened by the chirping of birds outside the balcony, turned over and looked at the curtains blown up by the breeze, and fell asleep again. In the dream, I plucked the feathers of the bird and roasted it with oil, woke up drooling, had simple bread and milk for breakfast, and saw Joanna''s car when I went out, so I rode towards the stable.


    Stopped the car, took buckets and tools at the door, walked in and saw Joanna working in standard black and white riding clothes. The black slim jacket and white breeches fit her very well. She was cleaning Angelina with a brush, and she said to herself: "Don''t move around, mom is brushing your hair!"


    An Feng couldn''t help laughing a few times.


    Joanna turned around: "Hey, big slob, the sun is shining on your ass."


    "It should be ''the sun is drying my ass''." An Feng walked over, followed a carrot, broke it, and threw it to Philip: "Catch it!"


    Philip looked up, opened his mouth and actually bit the carrot.


    Joanna was surprised: "So smart."


    "Haha!" An Feng proudly picked up three or four pieces of carrots, "This is my unique skill with it! Right, good boy! Continue!"


    Philip shook his horse''s head, and dodged An Feng''s fancy way of throwing carrots in disgust.


    Joanna smiled, An Feng turned black.


    ��


    While the weather was not too hot, he rode a horse and ran around the field. I have been practicing equestrianism for almost a year. Although I am not as skilled as Joanna, short-distance running, hurdling, barrel winding and other things can be said to be a piece of cake. An Feng watched Joanna riding Angelina from a short acceleration to a barrel sprint, and then to the continuous hurdles at the back.


    An Feng also took a run with itchy hands. It was no problem to pass it completely, but it was a bit slow in timing and movement. Joanna followed up and said, "Philip is a good horse, but unfortunately you don''t have enough time to train it. Form a sufficient tacit understanding, although you are already familiar with it."


    An Feng took the lead, Joanna turned the horse''s head and looked back at him: "How about a run with me?"


    "No problem!" An Feng pulled the rein. Philip had just galloped around and was still excited. Warmblood horses are suitable for this kind of obstacle course.


    Joanna rode her horse and ran in front. An Feng took a few more glances at her handsome figure, and then gripped the horse''s belly. Philip chased after him skillfully. First, she accelerated for a short distance, and then bypassed the first barrel. , When going around the barrel, you must make a good prediction and give the horse enough time to react. If the rider looks around and gives the order in a hurry when he is about to go around the barrel, it is likely to fail.


    Smoothly passed, the first barrel, the second barrel, the third... Continuous swinging from side to side is also a physical effort for the rider, but it also makes you mentally tense, feeling particularly exciting and fulfilling. After successfully passing through the obstacle area, they were greeted by high and low hurdles.


    Angelina''s hurdle movements are very standard, and Joanna''s ability to predict is also indispensable. The first and second jumps are easy, and the third high hurdle, Angelina leaps. An Feng glanced and found the jumping position A little early��Angelina stepped forward with her front leg, but her back leg hit the railing.


    "Not good!" An Feng''s eyes froze.


    Angelina couldn''t keep steady after landing, and her front legs knelt heavily on the ground. With a scream, Joanna jumped over the saddle and fell to the ground, but her hand was still holding the rein. Angelina jumped up in fright, After dragging her for a few steps, An Feng shouted, "Let go!"


    Joanna let go of her hand, Angelina ran out, and then turned around to face the owner who fell to the ground. An Feng hurriedly urged Philip to step forward, jumped off the horse, and saw Joanna get up. He didn''t care about himself, but first checked what happened to Angelina''s front legs. She was relieved when she saw that there was no serious problem. .


    "You don''t want to die!" An Feng hurriedly supported her, she was really strong, her walking posture was not right, she still took care of the horse first, she was too dedicated.


    An Feng was concerned about her legs: "How do you feel?"


    Joanna held An Feng''s hand, frowning: "It hurts."


    With a fall of this magnitude, it is possible to break a leg. An Feng once saw reports that someone fell off a horse, broke a hand, broke a leg, and lost six teeth. So he carefully asked her to sit down slowly, took off her riding boots, pushed up her pant legs and looked, the outside of her knee joints were red.


    "It hurts!" Joanna said.


    "It seems to be just a skin trauma." An Feng speculated that it is common for horse riders to fall off their horses. If a person has never fallen, then the number of times he has ridden is limited. Great knights fall all the way, no matter how familiar you are with horses, accidents are inevitable.


    Joanna forced a smile: "I know, if I break a bone, I should call it out now."


    "God bless." After An Feng confirmed that she was fine, he helped her up. It must be impossible to walk back. He glanced at Joanna: "Shall I carry you back?"


    Joanna nodded: "Okay."


    An Feng squatted down in front of her, his back was heavy, and a soft body pressed up. An Feng supported her thighs, stood up, and reminded: "It''s best to hug my neck, please lean forward , or it will be hard for me to carry you behind my back. And we are buddies, don''t be shy!"


    "Who is shy!" Joanna hugged his neck.


    Carrying Joanna on my back for a while, I went back home along the mountain road, walked through the living room, looked around, found that the sofa was too low, and I couldn��t squat down, so I moved to the kitchen. On the desk, and said: "Wait a minute, I''ll get you some medicine."


    The last time my parents saw that they were riding too hard, they had the foresight to go to Chinatown to buy some domestic bruises. An Feng used a lot of them, and the effect was very good. The ice compresses used by foreigners to deal with bruises were not very effective. He found medicinal wine and asked Joanna: "It works very well, do you want to try it?"


    "No problem, I''ve used it before," Joanna said.


    An Feng poured some in his hand, and wiped her injured knee joint as lightly as possible, but Joanna kept silent. After applying it a few times, I looked up and saw the tension in Joanna''s eyes, and said with a smile, "I''ll be able to walk normally after a day of rest."


    "Thank you," she said.


    "It''s okay." An Feng put down the medicinal wine, glanced at her helmet, "take it off for you."


    "No��" she said just now, An Feng had already unbuttoned it, took the helmet for her, and helped her get rid of some hair sticking to her face habitually.


    Joanna looked at him with a face full of surprise, An Feng stopped moving, embarrassed, he was used to touching women, and realized that the action just now was too intimate... They were very close, Joanna was sitting on the desk, An Feng was standing In front of her, just now he was gently stroking the hair on her cheek...


    An Feng couldn''t guarantee what his eyes looked like at that time.


    Looking at her light brown eyes, her eyes are evasive, not daring to look at me, and for some reason, looking at her, I think of the scenes that frequently appear in dreams these days, her frowns and smiles are vivid in my memory, goodbye Thinking of the days they spent together, my heart felt hot, and I couldn''t help kissing her lips. The two lips touched lightly, and she moved her head back to avoid it, but he didn''t give up and hugged her.


    An Feng hugged her waist, and slowly, she closed her eyes, opened her mouth and let An Feng attack, her soft tongue was entangled with each other, her whole body felt numb like an electric shock, the long-lost feeling, An Feng just I had an experience during my first kiss, as if I did something wrong, and my heart was full of tension.


    Unknowingly, they embraced each other, kissed deeply until they were suffocated, and finally let go with blushing faces. An Feng was very close to her, almost forehead to forehead, and after a while, An Feng broke the silence: "Hi, Joanna, this... I can''t control myself."


    Joanna looked at him and said nothing.


    "I...actually feel very happy to be with you...be my girlfriend!" An Feng looked at her, extremely nervous, his heart already in his throat.


    Joanna nodded shyly: "Yes."


    An Feng was taken aback for a moment, then hugged her and turned around a few times: "It''s great!"


    "Tell me, is this true?" An Feng put her down, and asked in disbelief, afraid that she would lose her expression, and smiled and said it was a joke.


    It''s like... retaliation for the last time I wiped her cat face.


    But April Fool''s Day has long passed, Joanna looked at him and said seriously: "I promise."

 Chapter 102： official date

    Chapter 102 Formal Dating


    He didn''t know when he started to have feelings for Joanna. At the beginning, he just regarded her as a good friend. In his heart, Joanna was a rich lady with a bit of autism. She had a narrow circle of friends and not many friends. Loves the minority, has a lady temper, but can hide her emotions well...


    The more An Feng knows, the deeper he understands her. Over time, her shadow was imprinted in my heart. They have a lot in common: they have a leisurely heart, and they can drink tea together for an afternoon; they have common hobbies, and they can talk about everything while riding and hunting; they have the same topics, and they can always act as each other''s listeners.


    An Feng and her have always been very easy to get along with. Even though she is a noble lady with three generations of heritage, and she is just a rich upstart, there are few conflicts when sitting together, because Joanna is kind-hearted and can accept her. The shortcomings of others; An Feng is good at learning and can make up for his own shortcomings.


    When these are overlapped together, a word called "good match" is produced.


    An Feng wiped the sweat off Joanna''s face gently. She didn''t speak, but watched him quietly, enjoying the unique tenderness between lovers.


    "Is this love?" Joanna asked stupidly.


    "Of course it is." An Feng stroked her face, "Some people say: even the simplest movements can feel the most sincere emotions."


    "I feel it." Joanna grabbed the hand he was rubbing against her face. "It feels good. I used to think you totally thought of me as a ''dude.''"


    "Haha, I was such a fool at that time!" An Feng said with a smile, and kissed her on the forehead, "But I''m being smart now."


    Joanna buried her head on his shoulder and said in her mouth: "When I saw you frequently change girlfriends, go out on dates, and speak out, I was very disappointed. I compared them with me in my heart and wanted to change, but I You can''t change yourself at all, and you have been ignoring me."


    An Feng touched her soft hair: "Maybe... I didn''t have the courage at that time."


    Joanna looked up at him: "Why do you say that?"


    "I feel that every aspect of your performance is too perfect, extraordinary birth, elegant manners, shameful, remember I said that chasing you needs a knight title? I''m not kidding. Even if you don''t show it deliberately, but many It always makes people feel unattainable. In addition, some girls who have been with you have said the same, but they have replaced it with jealous words such as ''prudish''."


    Joanna was sad: "It turns out that I am like this...then why do you have the courage now?"


    An Feng laughed: "Because I found that you still have a lot of shortcomings, and you are not an untouchable goddess standing on the altar. Remember when I wiped your cat face? The moment you lost control of your emotions, I was touched. You are no longer perfect, you and I live in the same world, since then, I have often dreamed of you, and I am getting more and more tired of living without a purpose, I think I can��t do without true feelings.��


    Joanna put her arms around his neck: "I regret that I didn''t show you more shortcomings earlier. In fact, I am very lazy and get up. Even my mother dare not wake me up, and when I am troubled, I want The bodily strike stops, lying on the bed and thinking about nothing."


    "Ha, this really suits my appetite! Maybe we can compete for dazed time." An Feng said.


    Joanna shook her head: "I don''t want you and Bi whose shortcomings are more serious!"


    ��


    After confirming that Joanna''s leg injury was fine, An Feng drove her back.


    An Feng drove very slowly, and he warned: "I called the family doctor just now, and he said that this kind of trauma needs to pay attention to rest, go back and lie down on the bed, your legs will be a little swollen in the next day, Don''t think about doing other things, moving around won''t help recovery. Plus..."


    Joanna listened to An Feng''s solemn speech, and said, "It''s so long-winded, I just fell and I can walk tomorrow."


    An Feng turned his head and glanced at her. Joanna stretched out her head and touched his face: "I know you care about me."


    An Feng asked: "Joanna, do you have time the day after tomorrow?"


    Joanna looked at him expectantly: "Yes, a formal date?"


    An Feng nodded: "Of course, how about we go to the movies? You know I''m not talking about the movie theater at home, that''s the same as not going out."


    "I''m looking forward to the day after tomorrow." Joanna said.


    An Feng drove her home, helped her into the house, and explained to Kelly. She said that she had experience in dealing with these minor injuries. It was not the first time that Joanna fell, and her parents were distressed, but she had to be stubborn. , There is no way... An Feng chatted with her for a while and said goodbye.


    When she was about to board the car in the yard, she raised her head and saw that the window of Joanna''s boudoir on the second floor was open, and she was standing there looking at herself.


    An Feng smiled slightly and waved his hand at her.


    On the way back, brisk country music was played, humming along the way, and life has never felt so beautiful.


    ��


    Looking forward to the stars and the moon, the day after tomorrow, since he woke up in the morning, An Feng has been arranging his hairstyle, looking at his clothes in the mirror, choosing and choosing, not knowing whether it is formal or semi-formal... He fell asleep at noon Feeling, finally chose the plan in the dream.


    Light blue slim-fit suit, jeans and low-top leather shoes, standing in front of the mirror, full of energy, really handsome.


    Drove the sports car at night and went to Sassen''s house.


    When I arrived, I sent Joanna a text message. A few minutes later, Joanna''s voice came: "I''m leaving, Mom, I will be back later at night."


    Following, Joanna walked out quickly. She was very well dressed, with a blue denim jacket and a white pencil skirt, showing leisure and naturalness, and a pair of red high-heeled shoes, which was the finishing touch of the British style. An Feng smiled slightly, and opened the car door for her: "You are so beautiful today."


    "Thank you!" Joanna pressed her skirt gracefully and got into the car.


    In the car, Joanna turned her head and said, "I''ve always been so pretty, haven''t I?"


    An Feng smiled and said, "Of course."


    Laughing and laughing all the way, the 40-minute drive was over without knowing it. I found a movie theater on the street, and Joanna chose a recently released romantic literary film. She did not refuse the popcorn and drink, and An Feng bought it. Couples set meal, two people sit, chew popcorn and wait for the movie to start.


    After the movie started, An Feng gently grabbed her hand, and Joanna leaned her head on his shoulder obediently, like other male and female couples. An Feng didn''t know much about the content of the movie, but his heart was as sweet as eating honey... At the back, An Feng hugged her and glanced left and right at other people.


    Well, in this situation, there are quite a few people gnawing on it. An Feng is a little curious. If it is a documentary, war movie, etc., will they be able to gnaw it too? The result is unknown, but everyone is relatively civilized, at least there is no live broadcast of the battle.


    Joanna commented sentimentally on the heroine of the movie, and An Feng understood some of the connotations of literary films under her explanation... After the show, everyone left in pairs, An Feng took Joanna''s hand and walked on the street, Discuss the movie just now and say something witty.


    When returning to the parking lot, An Feng suddenly hugged her and kissed her unexpectedly.


    An Feng''s hands are holding her waist, and she is holding An Feng''s neck, which is a more traditional street kissing pose for couples. An Feng didn''t make any special moves, because he felt that Joanna was inexperienced and her kissing skills were poor. It might be better to keep it simple, as excessive enthusiasm would make her unable to cope.

 Chapter 103： Pay me back 40 million! 【Third update】

    Chapter 103 Pay me back 40 million! ��Third update��


    Hiding under the covers and chatting with Joanna all night, she fell asleep at dawn, and was shaken awake within a few minutes. She pointed to the time on the watch to indicate that it was getting late.


    The will of love overcomes laziness. Girls always have to be more reserved. Besides, it is not a good thing to invite a man to the boudoir at night.


    An Feng got up.


    Joanna put on a coat, took An Feng''s hand, and walked lightly in the corridor, cautiously. Just as she was about to go down the stairs, a confused furry child came out of the public bathroom. He stared at the two of them. Feng also spotted him, and quickly lowered his voice and said, "Hey, don''t make any noise!"


    Andy blinked in a daze, as if wanting to confirm whether it was a hallucination.


    An Feng smiled at him: "Don''t tell your parents, I will take you to have fun next time."


    When Andy heard this, he nodded again and again: "It''s a deal! Uncle An!"


    An Feng, who was about to leave, stopped, turned around and emphasized: "It''s Brother An!"


    "Stop making trouble!" Joanna felt ashamed, and fled with the unwilling An Feng.


    ��


    In addition to having sweet love, An Feng occasionally goes to a nearby piloting school to fly planes.


    Fifteen hours of solo flight time is left before he receives his PPC (Private Pilot License). He spends two to three hours a day and can only get it after flying enough time.


    After 9/11, it was much more difficult to obtain a private pilot license in the United States than before. Of course, compared with licenses from other developed countries, it is still the easiest to obtain because of the huge number of aircraft. The government wants to increase jobs, and the president wants to support the rate. Had to compromise on 300,000 aircraft.


    Previously, An Feng had passed the background investigation of the US government, the physical and physiological examination of the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration of the United States), conducted the entrance examination of the flight school, the rules examination, and participated in the prescribed learning courses, and was required to accompany the flight for 20 years. hours, 20 hours of solo flight.


    Another 15 hours of solo flight, PPC in hand. It''s not easy to get to this point. Fortunately, I have the American Express Black Gold Card, and I''m a VIP all the way to the end. With that said, have you ever seen a teacher wait for a student to pick a time to come to class? Very few, An Feng is one of them, as long as he has money.


    There are many types of private pilot licenses, ranging from helicopters, fixed wings, paramotors, and gliders. Currently, he is focusing on helicopters. In the future, if I have time, I will also consider taking a multi-engine land fixed-wing test, so that even if I don��t drive, I can dominate the blue sky.


    Flying for three hours in accordance with the rules specified by the school, I kept answering all the way until my voice became hoarse before ending, and then transferred to my own black knight to go home. Leaning back on the sofa wearily, he took his mobile phone and conveyed his emotions to Joanna, who was fifteen kilometers away, and she came soon.


    Then An Feng kept praising her skills. In less than three minutes, Joanna went to work in the kitchen contentedly. An Feng grinned. In fact, she didn''t know how to cook many dishes. She only started to learn after arriving in the United States. But it is still not comparable to An Feng, so he is contented and happy.


    While waiting for her to cook, An Feng flicked his mobile phone, checked the latest emails, suddenly patted himself on the head, dug out the address book, and called Wang Le overseas. Since it was morning in China, it was very late Quickly connected: "Hello, third child? What can you do with me?"


    An Feng said: "Didn''t you talk to me about investment last time?"


    Wang Le came to a sudden: "Are you talking about high-tech companies? Are you preparing for a new round of additional funding?"


    "Yes, but it''s a little different from what you imagined."


    "What gap?" Wang Le asked puzzled.


    An Feng scratched his head and said, "It is to increase funds internally first, and then raise funds externally, but the price per share is expected to increase by about ten times."


    Wang Le was surprised: "Fuck me, so fierce?"


    An Feng didn''t expect it to be so high, but it was decided after everyone''s discussion. The point of the matter is not whether there are any investors, but how there are too many investors and how they should be screened. Because the head office is not listed, it is necessary to consider whether the other party can provide help and whether it is the first factor.


    Wang Le said: "It means, originally 2 million can get 10% of the shares, but now it is at least 20 million?"


    "Well, it should be higher." An Feng said hesitantly, "Because after the additional investment, 10% means 4 million shares, so the price will be more than 40 million."


    "The real meaning is: the 10% of the major shareholders I planned have now shrunk to 0.5% of the punks?"


    An Feng wiped off his sweat: "Almost."


    Wang Le roared: "Damn! Before the samples came out, your value was rocketing upwards? Why didn''t you tell me earlier! Third child! I hate you!"


    An Feng said weakly: "Actually... the samples have already come out, and the mass production is only a matter of funds. There are currently two press conferences."


    "I hate you! Pay me back forty million!"


    An Feng begged for mercy: "Brother Le, I was wrong! How about this, to express my apology, when the headquarters opens a branch, you can invest as much as you can, but be mentally prepared, although the company has not been established, it has been acquired by the energy giant. Keep an eye on it, I''m under a lot of pressure!"


    Wang Le just smiled: "It''s okay, we are not good at doing business, just wait for the stock price to soar, then sell at a high price, and exchange money to live a better life!"


    An Feng smiled: "Don''t worry, there are quite a lot of people here."


    It took a long time to calm down Wang Le''s grievances, and hung up the phone. Joanna had already prepared dinner, two servings of roast beef, some cooked vegetables, two goblets, and a bottle of red wine. An Feng sat down with a smile, took a sip, praised her craftsmanship, and clinked glasses amidst the sweetness.


    ��


    At the beginning of June, Joanna went back to school to prepare for graduation, and An Feng also took time to go to Austin to handle errands. Last week he had signed and transferred funds to an offshore company: GP International. The registered capital is two million, and the shareholders themselves. John Adams served as Secretary of the Board.


    After landing at the airport, take a special car to the company headquarters, where an internal investment and equity adjustment will be held three hours later. All the board members were present this time, except for Mrs. Sinclair who did not show up, but she appointed Bazel Sinclair to attend. The wife is invisible, and he, though also low-key, haunts as an oil tycoon.


    The lawyers of the legal department checked the signing documents, and after confirming that they were correct, they waited for the financial personnel to submit the basic account to the accounting firm for capital verification, and then completed the change registration with the relevant department. It would take a few days, but for special cases, large companies If you are willing to pay, you will naturally be given priority.


    After the addition of 20 million capital was completed, the last negotiation with foreign investors started on the second day. The company��s specialists had already confronted heroes from various parties several times, and finally screened out suitable partners. Now is the last negotiation. , mainly to check the contract.


    Some details were changed. Both the enemy and us were a little annoyed, and finally signed the contract on the third day. The shareholders of GP company have also been re-released, and the largest shareholding ratio is GP International, reaching 36%; followed by Sinclair and Blueline''s various = vests, both of which are 17%, in fact they account for 41%; An Feng In third place, 15%.


    IBM also got involved, because GP needed a better R&D environment and a stronger computer, so it took 5% from them, and the agreement made it pay more than ten times the price: 30 million; Mrs. Sinclair insisted The stock is only 5%, but she is actually the second highest. When the head office is not listed, only a small number of people can see the financial statements, and the company has the right to ask the tax bureau to keep it secret, so she is invisible.


    The last 3% are held by people from all walks of life, they are all pure investors, and no interest disputes are the main factor, but these 3% also provide 20 million funds. This momentum does have a tendency to catch up with the stock price of listed companies, which also leads to a total registered capital of 100 million US dollars.


    An Feng did some calculations. His total investment was more than 20 million, but his actual net worth was 51 million, which has doubled by 2.5 times in just a few months. This is only due to the breakthrough in battery technology. . If the super battery is mass-produced, the battery company goes public, the chip breaks through, and the chip goes on the market... 500 times the increase is conservative. Based on his current consumption speed, he will have no worries in his life if he transfers it to a local tyrant.


    And graphene technology... To be honest, how old is it in the next-generation technology of the machine brain?


    An Feng has never felt that the world is so beautiful.


    At present, the bosses are creating conditions for An Feng. I hope that the old man will be interested occasionally, give advice to the technical team, and strive for faster breakthroughs in chips or other fields. Now the bosses all understand that without An Feng, these technologies cannot be transferred at all, and this guy is the real monster.

    PS: Continue to ask for recommendations. If the quantity is considerable tomorrow, continue to watch the third shift. .

 Chapter 104： model boyfriend

    Chapter 104 Model Boyfriend


    As for the cooperation with the computer giant IBM, it is entirely out of the consideration of graphene chips. Although the company''s laboratory can also develop chips, the speed is very slow. The research and development team needs more sophisticated machines, large computers and better production conditions. Between purchase and cooperation, time efficiency makes everyone choose the latter.


    The cooperation agreement with IBM states that GP''s chip research and development team will use their research laboratories unconditionally, including the accompanying computer equipment, etc. According to Song Wenrui''s inference, this will shorten the research and development time by about 50%. Bring technology to market faster.


    This is all caused by pressure. After the battery pack headed by Etan Bassett took out the samples, major technology magazines, newspapers and media frequently typed the name of this prospective master student, and the scenery was endless for a while, although he thanked the company And the full support of the big boss, but it does not prevent the media from rendering him a technology star, and it also makes the chipset colleagues jealous, especially after Bassett was awarded 10,000 original shares by the company.


    10,000 shares are really not many, but its room for appreciation is terrifying. The current 10,000 shares have doubled by 2.5 times. In the future, other technologies will come out. According to An Feng''s prediction, it is not a joke to increase by 500 times or 1,000 times. , will automatically produce multi-millionaires at that time, not to mention that the future is not far away.


    Of course, the other groups are not without success. The company specially prepared some original shares to motivate the employees. Under the temptation of the multi-millionaire, everyone devoted themselves to research and development, because the shares are limited after all. We will not let go of even 1%!


    How serious is the rush to work? The middle of the month is the graduation season of various colleges and universities, and prospective graduates have returned to their alma mater, but this group of engineering elites still have no concept of time and live a three-point and one-line life in laboratories, restaurants and dormitories, so that An Feng specifically reminded them that they just remembered to go back to attend the graduation ceremony. The graduation ceremony is a major event in life, which is equivalent to a coming-of-age ceremony in the United States and is indispensable.


    The reason why An Feng remembered it was because she had a phone call with Joanna every day. She invited An Feng to participate, and coincidentally, the day after the graduation ceremony was her birthday, so An Feng couldn''t be absent. He promised: "Don''t worry, I I will not be absent, and what gift do you like?"


    "Of course it''s up to you. I like whatever you give me." Joanna said.


    "Okay, I will use my brain." An Feng said, but no request is the most thought-provoking request. What is the best choice?


    After thinking about it, I still have no idea when flying in the sky.


    This time, it was the Bombardier business jet provided by Mrs. Sinclair. She didn''t know that Anfeng was spending a lot of money on the VIP tour, and she thought everyone was busy, so she specially sent the plane and crew, so Anfeng''s flight these days is much more convenient. Trouble Angela frequently goes through the rental procedures.


    The stewardess Michelle served An Feng a cup of black tea.


    An Feng looked up and asked her: "Michelle, what gift do you think is suitable for a lady?"


    Michelle smiled and said, "Of course it depends on who the other party is."


    "She is my girlfriend." An Feng had a happy smile on his face, "Although small gifts are fine, but...that is to say, she is a rich lady, and I don''t want to be too casual."


    Michelle thought for a while: "Or you can try jewelry? She is your girlfriend, and she comes from a wealthy family, so the jewelry won''t look obtrusive."


    "Jewelry?" An Feng thought for a while, "It''s a good idea, do you have any recommendations?"


    ��


    As soon as I stepped off the plane, the heat wave hit my face.


    I don��t know if Los Angeles has a convulsion this year. The high temperature lasted for many days. In previous years, the weather in summer was around 30 degrees Celsius. It��s embarrassing that it��s not 35 degrees Celsius this year. Even the white Americans who are not afraid of the sun on the beach have chosen cooler ones. Activities in the morning and after four o''clock. Come out to dry at noon, that is the rhythm of red crabs.


    An Feng stood under the sun wondering if he was a wizard or not... This idea is not without reason. As early as when the fertilizer of Tailan Company was launched, he kept praying for natural disasters such as high temperature, tornado or earthquake, etc., and now it lasts for several days. The high temperature of the week is the best example.


    It is worth mentioning that the popularity of Tailan''s products is like this rising hot weather. The high temperature makes the super fertilizers fully capable. Bad weather can''t stop them from thriving, and increasing production is inevitable. An evaluation agency predicts that corn and soybean production in many parts of the west will decrease due to drought this year, but farmers using Tyran fertilizers are not worried about this because they still have a tendency to increase production.


    It��s hallelujah to be able to maintain stable production in this environment. I didn��t expect to be able to increase production, and the cost of investing in irrigation resources is not higher than other farms... I am happy to see the results. According to the report of CEO Bray Hawk, there are already large companies. Check out their technology.


    This means nothing more than wanting to take the opportunity to buy. An Feng doesn''t mind at all, he has only one purpose for using these technologies: to make money. If a local tyrant gives him 10 billion, he can immediately transfer all the shares of Tailan under his hand. As for growing slowly? He has no such thoughts at present.


    Maybe when he has money in the future, he will do something he likes, such as robotics. But it��s boring to think about these things without money now, and you have to guarantee that you won��t starve to death before you can talk about your ideals. As far as Maslow''s needs are concerned, physiological needs are primary, and self-actualization is built on top.


    I drove the Mercedes-Benz GL63 alone, blowing the air conditioner and shuttling through the streets of Santa Monica, that is, the Beverly Hills area. There are a wide variety of luxury goods here, which can be found in almost famous places in the world. According to Michelle��s recommendation, Found a jewelry store.


    There are countless jewelry and watch specialty stores in this area, and An Feng might be at a loss if he wants to choose one. Men are really inferior to women in this respect. The man went shopping on the street with a clear purpose, got out of the car and went straight to the destination, and it was done in fifteen minutes. And women, at least have to finish shopping the whole street first, right?


    So on the plane, he asked Michelle for advice. As a petty bourgeoisie in the United States, she is familiar with the market for these luxury goods. She recommended Cartier and Tiffany. Cartier is a French watch and jeweler. It makes jewelry for the royal families of many European countries and is sought after by royal nobles. Tiffany is produced in the United States. As we all know, there is no royal family in the United States. It has a more civilian atmosphere, but its style is free.


    An Feng chose Cartier without thinking much about it. He walked into the specialty store, and immediately a Chinese-speaking Asian shopping guide stepped forward with a smile. From her smile, it seemed that she had seen the hope of a good harvest and a commission. An Fenghan is one, he is not a local tyrant from China, okay?


    However, local tyrants have nothing to do with the products. To see the actual effect, An Feng even wore them on the models in the specialty store himself, because none of the items he fancy are cheap��but he thinks they are quite affordable. That''s right, for my hundreds of thousands of watches and millions of airplanes, tens of thousands of dollars is fine.


    Seeing the models wearing gold and silver turning around in front of him, An Feng nodded: "I want this necklace and brooch, as well as the chain, ring and watch on the lady''s hand."


    With a little finger, the value is not less than 100,000. The Chinese female shopping guide is naturally overjoyed: "Okay sir, we will pack it for you, please wait a moment."


    Birthdays are not suitable for giving too many things, but in order to prevent the uncertainty of giving gifts on the next festival, An Feng will be lazy and do it all at once... This is considered clever, but Joanna can��t let it know, it��s necessary to create a surprise, and wait for her to get it all together After a set of jewelry, the brain cells that died after choosing a gift have been replenished.


    ��


    Two days later, An Feng attended Joanna''s graduation ceremony.


    Joanna''s parents and younger brother were also traveling with her. Even though An Feng had gone through the storms and seen big scenes, he couldn''t help being a little nervous when they sat down together. Westerners don''t like to hide their feelings. After the relationship was announced to the world, An Feng was not sure about himself I was worried about whether my girlfriend''s parents could be satisfied.


    In the past, they were called brothers and sisters with Frank, and Andy, a brat, used to call him uncle, so he was Joanna''s elder, but now they got together... The only one who can only look forward, sit upright. But Kelly and Frank behaved normally and gave him a smile from time to time.


    The graduation ceremony was held in an open-air theater. The center of the theater was full of chairs. Graduates wearing black robes entered the venue one after another. They were all in good spirits. The surrounding steps were filled with relatives and friends who came to help out. The weather was hot, so everyone wore Putting on a hat means holding a book to cover it.


    An Feng heard that formal attire was required for the graduation ceremony, so he thought he had to dress formally like a reception. As a result, after finishing his business in Los Angeles, the plane flew directly to San Francisco. He was still wearing the same black suit and white shirt. It was cool, but After sitting down for a few minutes, sweating profusely.


    Kelly looked at An Feng and handed him a pack of tissues: "Wipe off your sweat, kid."


    "Thank you, I didn''t expect the weather to be so hot." An Feng took the tissue with a smile.


    After the graduates have entered the arena, all stand up and play the national anthem, and then the leaders or invited guests go up to speak. The school leaders spoke briefly, playing with a sense of humor that not many Americans really want to laugh. An Feng also laughed a few times. In fact, the reason for laughing was just to see others laughing.


    And if you ask that person why he laughed, he might also say: I saw someone else laugh.


    The most valuable ones are the invited guests. The CEO of a large multinational company gave a speech on stage. There was no nonsense, and most of them were some life inspirations, which were very inspiring to many graduates. The next step was to go to the stage to receive the graduation certificate. The atmosphere was very active, and the graduates enjoyed this time very much.


    Then there are frequent photos, congratulations and cheers. This time, it is the graduation ceremony for the bachelor, master and doctor of the business school. On the way, there is a lady holding her child up to receive the certificate. Of course, she has a doctorate degree. In this regard Americans are very proud.


    After the ceremony, the show ended, but it was not the same as when An Feng graduated from university. After the show, everyone was almost relieved, and they all went back to pack their things and went their own way. Americans are better at playing, there will be a champagne reception after the show, and there will be constant group photos and posing for pictures.


    As an important moment in life, Joanna took a group photo with her parents and brothers, and also had an indispensable boyfriend. He persevered for more than two hours without frowning or complaining. After the show, he hugged, congratulated and kissed his girlfriend warmly with a smile. He was absolutely exemplary.


    Joanna hugged him and whispered in his ear: "Frank and Kelly both gave you extra points."


    "Huh?" An Feng was puzzled.


    Joanna sweetly said: "They have been observing you, saying that you are calm and graceful, and you must be the type to be responsible to the end as a boyfriend."


    An Feng is happy, is this a good review?

 Chapter 105： birthday party

    Chapter 105 Birthday Party


    After the champagne reception, the lively and grand graduation ceremony came to an end. The graduates still have many plans, and the fraternity and sorority also prepared wonderful activities, the graduation carnival dance, the final challenge of the fraternity and so on. But Joanna stayed with An Feng.


    An Feng took her hand and walked around the campus, then turned to ask her, "Are you not going to the graduation party?"


    Joanna smiled slightly: "The sorority I belong to held a party in advance, and... I like being with you."


    An Feng kissed the back of her hand and asked with a smile: "Now, my honorable Duchess, where are we going?"


    Joanna pretended to be serious and corrected: "Wrong, the Duke is mostly a relative of the royal family, and I am the Countess!" After she finished speaking, she also smiled: "I will leave tomorrow, although it is temporary, but I am a little bit reluctant, how about Shall we have dim sum at a nearby restaurant? There are many Chinese restaurants here!"


    "Little greedy cat." An Feng pulled her towards the school cafeteria. There are a lot of Chinese students in Berkeley, so there are many Chinese restaurants, and the taste is not bad. He tried it a few times when he came here before, and he felt that it was not much worse than those so-called authentic Chinese places in Chinatown outside.


    Had a simple dinner with Joanna in the restaurant. The process was the same as that of the male and female couples around him. The process was simple, but the content was sweet, and there was a little pride... nothing else, An Feng felt that he was in love with a goddess, and he even watched people His expression is also male and high-spirited.


    Apparently he thinks Joanna is the most beautiful in the world, so others should too��


    "It''s inexplicable." A pair of Chinese friends who walked away complained, and An Feng was injured.


    After dinner, An Feng took her for a stroll, went to the movies, and then went home happily... The next day he called a business jet to pick up friends who were going to SLO for Joanna''s birthday party at night. There are not too many people, and all the people she invites are good ones, and a 17-seat business jet is competent enough.


    They didn''t fly, and Joanna''s car had to drive back. Seeing that there was plenty of time, An Feng, who was in charge of driving, deliberately took the No. 1 highway, which is known as the most beautiful in the west. The weather in June is sunny, and the temperature is also suitable in the morning. The green mountains and green trees along the way, and the waves rushing. .


    Say goodbye to Joanna, she is going back to prepare for tonight''s banquet. An Feng also needs to take a break to recharge his batteries to attend the evening banquet. This time, not only Joanna''s friends, but also some elder relatives are invited, so he needs to pay attention to dressing and etiquette. Fortunately, An Feng is also familiar with the road.


    ��


    At eight o''clock in the evening, An Feng drove to Sassen Winery.


    The traffic at the entrance is dense and there are many guests. An Feng, who was wearing a black tuxedo and a white shirt, got out of the car, and followed other guests who arrived just in time into the main hall.


    The living room is beautifully furnished. It originally imitated the European style. After adding some themes, under the light of the crystal chandelier, ladies in different styles of dresses and gentlemen with elegant manners walked on the warm-colored carpet, chatting together in twos and threes , It''s really a sense of grandeur in the European court.


    As for the host of the banquet, Joanna can only be described as "stunning everyone" tonight.


    It was the first time An Feng saw her wearing such a formal floor-length dress. The blue tube top dress full of sparkling rhinestones and exquisite embroidery was elegant. Her coiled hair made her full of momentum and set off her slender neck , with an exquisite platinum chain hanging around his neck, and two white arms hanging naturally beside him, calmly responding to the greeting guests. Even the simplest smile can feel her strong confidence.


    An Feng felt that this elegant tube top dress was supported by her height, and her temperament fully revealed her aura. If she went on the red carpet, she would instantly kill a group of pretentious actresses.


    Especially the curly hair style, revealing her entire exquisite face. If she is not very confident in her face shape, most women would not dare to expose her forehead. Joanna happens to be the most beautiful person in appearance.


    Dressed up, she stood quietly, and her elegant smile when facing the guests dimmed the brilliance of other ladies who came and went, and even the ladies stayed around her very little time, in order to avoid becoming the green leaves that set off the red flowers. It makes people sigh, this is the demeanor of a noble lady that cannot be imitated.


    An Feng admired it quietly for a long time, until the gift-giving guests in front had finished, he came forward with a smile, hugged Joanna, and kissed each other twice. Joanna, who was wearing high heels, was about the same height as An Feng. I really missed it. He gave her the gift and praised: "I can only say from the bottom of my heart that you are the most beautiful in the world. Even if you think I am full of exaggeration, I will not change my position."


    Joanna smiled and opened the gift box, took out a beautiful platinum bracelet in surprise, and covered her mouth with one hand: "Oh! It''s really beautiful!"


    An Feng looked at her with a smile on his face.


    "I love you!" Joanna took the initiative to kiss him, making the surrounding guests envious for a while. She stretched out her right hand and said impatiently, "Help me put it on."


    "I''m happy to help you." An Feng carefully put the bracelet on her right wrist. He secretly rejoiced that he was right to choose Cartier. On the body, it is perfect and appropriate!


    "Oh!" Joanna joyfully raised her hand to admire, and hugged An Feng again, "I really like this gift!"


    An Feng patted her on the back lightly: "Save the excitement when we are alone. Now, you are an extremely noble queen."


    "I am!" Joanna smiled slightly, and when she let go of him, her expression had returned to the indifference just now, and she was a little cold and arrogant when savoring it carefully.


    An Feng left satisfied, and other guests also presented presents one after another.


    As distant relatives, the Sinclair family also came, and the weight is not small. The old lady''s second son, Matthew Sinclair, brought her daughter Catherine to the scene. They are both rich daughters and dressed in the same luxury, but the guests all have such A feeling: In terms of temperament, Joanna is unmatched.


    So Catherine, like the other ladies, quickly left the powerful "Queen" and greeted An Feng: "Hi, Bruce!"


    "Hello, Catherine!" An Feng smiled and nodded, "Is Mrs. Sinclair doing well recently?"


    Catherine shook her head lightly: "Not very well, she has been in the hospital for the past two weeks."


    "Wish her a speedy recovery for me!" An Feng said.


    "It''s okay, it''ll be fine," Catherine said.


    Later, I chatted with Matthew for a while, and also mentioned the old lady''s condition. Matthew was more optimistic, because he discovered it in time and controlled it properly. Although life can''t be as free as a normal person, it won''t take a sudden turn for the worse. In addition, Matthew is very interested in cancer cell research at the research center.


    "I believe that miracles will be created in the research center." An Feng said to Matthew. I thought I should pay attention to the progress of the cell group in a few days.


    "I hope so," Matthew said.


    Not for anything else, just because the old lady is the backer of Anfeng, he needs to keep her alive and healthy. There are so many things that require her to speak out, the big boss of the consortium covers her, and others dare to mess around? This is not only about friendship, but also involves some interest issues.


    After all the guests arrived, the birthday party began. First, the host gave a brief and humorous speech, and then a big cake was pushed up, with twenty-two candles on it, symbolizing the beautiful 22 years old. Everyone surrounded Joanna, and the lights gradually dimmed. , the specially invited a cappella began an ethereal and sacred chant.


    In this voice that seemed to be in heaven, Joanna held the wishing stone in front of her chest, and glanced at An Feng in the crowd. Her good wish was granted, and she blew out the candle.


    After making a wish, the birthday cake was cut. An Feng saw Henry in the crowd. The last time he had a cake fight. Henry smiled shyly. On such a serious occasion, if he followed the example of the boys, he would probably be the public enemy of the ladies in the future, so the banquet was very normal and solemn.


    Joanna ate the cake with a small bite. With the sound of music, men and women could move freely. An Feng invited Joanna to dance. Without the grandeur of the court dance, An Feng performed a simple ballroom dance, but the rhythm of the dance was wonderful, and the emotional involvement was the real thing.

 Chapter 106： About the sale [third update]

    Chapter 106 about selling [third update]


    An Feng finally understood the reason why she said she would not go crazy before. In such a solemn social occasion, men, women and children are all dressed up to attend, and they pay attention to etiquette and conversation, and there is really no element of going crazy. This is only at Sassen''s house. If it was the earl''s daughter before, the scene would be more rigorous.


    Westerners�� various banquets and gatherings are excellent occasions to expand their circle of friends, so after the main project of the birthday party is completed, unless they are particularly close to the host, the guests will not surround the host. Celebrating a birthday, the atmosphere is naturally relaxed, allowing people with the same interests to get to know each other.


    As her boyfriend, An Feng also gave Joanna enough space to chat with gentlemen and ladies. He also has his own circle to deal with. He knows almost all of Joanna''s friends, such as Daisy. She is curious about their love story, and An Feng laughs and talks nonsense with gossip girls.


    Turning around and coming back, I ran into Matthew again.


    "Women immersed in love are the most beautiful. Isn''t there a saying in China that ''women dress up for men who admire them''? Bruce, you are so lucky!" Matthew raised his jaw, and Joanna in the crowd was showing Ann Feng gave her the bracelet, with a smile on his face.


    An Feng took a glass of wine from the plate of the passing waiter and smiled: "She is my goddess."


    Matthew smiled: "If I were twenty years younger and not married, I would have dueled you!"


    An Feng shrugged: "It seems that I will have to practice swordsmanship hard in the future."


    "Of course you want to do this!" Matthew said with a smile. He and An Feng had some conversations, and then a fat white man in a suit and leather shoes walked towards them.


    Matthew introduced: "Let me give you a line, this is Jeffrey, a member of the board of Legg Mason; and this is Bruce Ann, the boss of Tailan you want to meet."


    "Thank you sir." Jeffrey said to Matthew with a respectful tone, and then said to An Feng: "Mr. An, I hope you don''t mind my presumptuousness. Besides celebrating Miss Stanwell''s birthday, I also hold I have the purpose of discussing some business with you."


    An Feng felt strange, but still smiled and shook Jeffrey''s fat hand.


    Matthew explained: "We just met by chance. Jeffrey has always wanted to meet Tylan''s real boss."


    It''s strange that An Feng believes him, can he meet someone who happens to be looking for him? I''m afraid it''s fake to attend the birthday party, but it''s true to come here to discuss business with me.


    Jeffrey thanked again: "Thank you Mr. Sinclair for the introduction. In addition, Mr. An, please forgive my presumptuousness. Since I have a little friendship with Mr. Sinclair, and I heard that you are also a partner in the energy field, such talents Young people are rare these days, so I wanted to take the opportunity to get to know them.��


    Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, An Feng felt that he was very good at talking: "It''s okay, let''s talk together?"


    They stepped aside, and Jeffrey said: "Please don''t mind me. I know you are Tylan''s boss. We didn''t check you deliberately. It just so happened that some friends revealed something."


    "I know that the information is semi-public." The company is not owned by Anfeng himself. Other shareholders and employees have seen him, and they can find out after asking a few senior executives. Of course, not just anyone can find out. I just don��t understand why Jeffrey talked about this, are you interested?


    ��What are your thoughts on its future development?�� Jeffrey asked.


    An Feng thought to himself, Meisheng? American fertilizer giant Mosaic? After thinking it over, he understood the purpose of Jeffrey''s trip. He said: "It depends on the final effect after two months. It may continue to expand, or it may go public. Anyway, it will bring me benefits."


    Jeffrey felt that he didn''t care much, and said strangely: "Don''t you know that many giants are interested in these super technologies?"


    An Feng shrugged: "I guessed it a long time ago, but one size counts for one size. The only thing I am interested in is how much benefit it can bring me, not who pays attention to me."


    Jeffrey followed his meaning and said, "According to you, if someone is willing to offer a high price, you will change hands?"


    An Feng nodded: "Of course!" Then stared at Jeffrey: "Are you interested?"


    Jeffrey said: "Of course I have interest, otherwise I wouldn''t insist on seeing you."


    An Feng said: "It''s easy to talk about buying everything. I don''t really want to get involved in the disputes of the giants, so I just plan to find a suitable business to transfer the shares."


    Jeffrey said, "Please make an offer."


    "30 billion to transfer my shares."


    Mosaic Company is the second largest chemical fertilizer company in the world, with an annual turnover of 10 billion, a net profit of about 2.5 billion, and a company market value of 20 billion. An Feng offered 30 billion, even if Mosaic was sold, it would not be worth it! But considering that it has been ahead of the world for more than ten years, it is not an exorbitant price to be able to implement a monopoly.


    And negotiation, to put it bluntly, is bargaining.


    In fact, after An Feng learned that a giant was interested in Tailan, he planned to change hands for cash. After calculation, the satisfactory price was 7 billion, and the minimum price should not be less than 5 billion. And now that he is asking for 30 billion, it will naturally appear that 7 billion is less, so it is a happy negotiation.


    Jeffrey was not surprised by An Feng''s offer at all. He handed An Feng his business card: "This is my business card. We should find a time to discuss the acquisition."


    "This is my business card." An Feng also gave him his business card, which was printed with the content of GP company.


    The industry insiders now know that GP is a dark horse with a strong background, backed by energy giants and financial families.


    Jeffrey said goodbye: "Sorry, I''m going to deal with some things, I wish you all a good time."


    After Jeffrey left, Matthew asked, "Do you really want to sell it?"


    An Feng said solemnly: "I''m serious, as long as the price is reasonable, I will resell, and I don''t intend to wear the aura of ''fertilizer king''."


    After finishing speaking, An Feng looked at Matthew: "Are you interested?"


    Matthew smiled: "Haha, you bastard! Don''t hit me, I don''t have the courage to spend 30 billion to acquire companies."


    An Feng also laughed: "You guys are being modest. The oil dividend alone is worth tens of billions a year. But thank you too, the people who came to buy are very polite."


    Matthew said: "You are our partner. Naturally, the Sinclair family will not let their partners be threatened casually, and our new energy and chip plans are all placed on you, so we cannot distract you halfway. Don''t worry, if someone Don''t worry, they won''t be able to hold on first."


    An Feng thanked: "Thank you, and let''s cooperate?"


    Matthew is not surprised: "How to say?"


    An Feng said with a smile: "I know you have a group of very powerful negotiators. For this kind of commercial negotiation that is no less than war, some people may play tricks. I don''t have the energy to deal with it, but you are very good at it. If you can help me get a psychological price, how about we get 70% of the money?"


    To be honest, there are really not many people around An Feng who can make a deal. He negotiates with dozens of people at a time, but what about himself? Even counting assistants, it''s in the single digits.


    Matthew''s eyes lit up: "My side is only responsible for contributing, accounting for 30%?"


    An Feng said: "The price is above the bottom line, and any problems, disputes, threats, intimidations, etc. encountered along the way, you have to deal with it cleanly."


    Matthew said: "If it is financial power, we dare not say how strong we are, but if it is force, then only the enemy surrendered to the Sinclair family."


    An Feng said: "So I have confidence in you."


    Matthew smiled: "What''s the bottom line?"


    An Feng swallowed a sip of red wine: "At least 10 billion."


    An Feng��s small calculations here are crackling. He started with his own set of 7 billion. The seven-to-three-point cooperation is at least 10 billion, and the extra money is entirely contributed by the buyer. I can easily get the psychological price of 7 billion, and with technical support, why not do it?


    Matthew thought about it, at least 3 billion. For a person of his level, 3 billion is not much, but it is definitely a lot. Stretch out your hand: "No problem, I guarantee that no one will interfere with your leisurely life as a rich man."


    An Feng shook hands with him: "It''s a pleasant cooperation."


    An Feng is indeed not in the mood to get involved in the struggles of these giants. The potential of chemical fertilizers is indeed very strong. He has been ahead of the world for more than ten years and monopolized the world market. The value is far more than 30 billion. , even with the support of the Sinclair family, they have to walk on thin ice.


    Because it violates the interests of too many people.


    An Feng is most afraid of trouble, so he can only sell it��even if there is no trouble, he will sell it at a reasonable price, because he is too lazy to make money slowly. Think about it, it''s cool to have more than seven billion more in the account... It''s not a pity to sell it, because the technology at this stage is only ordinary, and he still has stronger ones in his head.


    The giants are destined to be pitted.


    Of course, An Feng wasn''t confident enough to treat giants like cats with his current strength. Let them be happy for three to five years, and then Super Fertilizer 2.0 was born again. In order to maintain their advantages, or competitors to regain the market, they bought them at a high price again... Then came Super Fertilizer 3.0...


    An Feng racked his brains. With the skills in his mind, it is not difficult to play this way, but the first thing is to have enough strength to ensure that he will always play with others, instead of being played by others.

 Chapter 107： for the future

    Chapter 107 For the future


    After reaching a preliminary agreement with Matthew, An Feng put the empty wine glass back on the waiter''s plate, looked up and saw Joanna in the crowd looking at him, and walked towards her. She also greeted her, took An Feng''s hand, and walked towards the stairs: "Let''s go, it''s boring to stay here."


    The two of them quietly came to the second floor. There was a living room on the west side that was much smaller than the first floor, and she let her pull them through the living room to the carefully crafted balcony.


    Joanna put her hands on the edge of the balcony and looked up at the night sky: "What a beautiful night!"


    "Well, it''s so beautiful." An Feng looked at her, his eyes full of appreciation for beautiful things.


    Joanna turned her head, saw him staring at her, and smiled softly: "What are you looking at?"


    "You are so beautiful, I can''t even think of an adjective." An Feng said honestly.


    "Really?" She turned around, An Feng hugged her waist, and leaned her back on the stone handrail of the balcony. The two looked at each other closely.


    "Really, being able to have you is the luckiest thing in my life." An Feng said, and couldn''t help but kiss her, delicate and smooth, with endless aftertaste.


    The wet kiss was over, and Joanna leaned into his arms, muttering to herself, "I hope what you said was a promise."


    "Of course it''s true." An Feng had good ears and touched her bare back: "It''s the first time I''ve seen you dressed so grandly that people can''t take their eyes off."


    "Nonsense, you haven''t looked at me for a while." Joanna said.


    An Feng explained with a smile: "It was a choice between ''temporary'' and ''long-term''. For the future, I chose the latter, although I have always regretted not staring at you."


    "It''s so sweet." She smiled.


    An Feng said: "I swear it''s true. I was negotiating business with a businessman who sneaked in for no reason just now, saving money for our future. Well, there is also money for the children''s milk powder."


    Joanna smiled again: "You think a lot, and you have considered the children. But it sounds touching, you are a caring boyfriend."


    An Feng cupped her face with one hand: "Don''t you want this?"


    "Of course I hope, I hope we can be together forever." Joanna looked at him seriously.


    "Yes, I will," he said.


    An Feng felt that Joanna was his destination. He had never met a woman who made him feel like her. The longer he spent with her, the more tempted he became. So he began to plan for the future, brought by his innate parents, he cannot change, but has the ability to change the acquired, he does not have blue blood in his body, nor is he a knight, but he has the ability to let Joanna enjoy the most beautiful life in the world noble life.


    Money cannot represent everything, but money can buy almost everything. He is nostalgic for the tenderness of his lover, and he is even more eager to create a better future. The next day, he called his assistant, John, to discuss with Matthew in Los Angeles. The weather outside the hotel was as hot as ever, and the air conditioner in the room was almost non-stop.


    Matthew looked at the newspaper and said: "The drought in the west is severe today, and the production of many crops has decreased, but the use of Tyran fertilizer has shown a trend of prosperity."


    "As expected." An Feng crossed his legs.


    "Look at the reports here, they directly describe it as ''black technology''!" Matthew handed the newspaper to An Feng.


    An Feng took the newspaper, glanced at the headline in large print, "Subverting Tradition! Tyran''s World-Changing Black Technology?" and then browsed the content. There were both praises and suspicions, and some gossip. These technologies are of great interest. An Feng worried: "The government won''t take care of it?"


    "The United States is a capitalist society. Private property is sacred and inviolable. The government has no right to control the inventions and creations of the people. At most, it is just a curiosity. Maybe there will be local government purchases. I think you might as well develop the business honestly and let the family take the shares. Part of it, isn��t it good to make a lot of money slowly?��


    An Feng shook his head: "I prefer a large sum of money."


    "Respect your opinion." Matthew said, she glanced at John, "Okay, let''s discuss the details next, and then there will be a negotiation team of more than 100 people and a lawyer team of 50 people for us service, and a security company to provide back-up support at all times.��


    "Security company?" An Feng thought it was exaggerated.


    Matthew smiled: "In order to satisfy the partner, otherwise you will be unhappy and deduct several hundred million from me, and I will lose a lot. Let alone a security company, I can find you a PMC if necessary. If In Africa, they can lead a small war."


    An Feng had nothing to say, and all the mercenaries came out.


    ��


    The process of negotiating with Matthew was very pleasant, because this is a big deal that benefits both parties.


    The business negotiations are expected to last for one or two months. Matthew took the initiative to ask An Feng to send a special person to participate in the negotiations to gain insight into all the processes. An Feng sent the clever John to participate in the negotiation, but the contract was black and white, and he was the one to sign it in the end. It didn''t matter whether he participated or not. The appointment of John was just to make it easier for him to understand the progress.


    Matthew''s plan is to actively contact industry giants, not only Mosaic, but also the world''s largest Canadian potash fertilizer company, a Russian fertilizer giant, and investment groups that have little connection with chemical fertilizers... all of them will send out invitations. He calls this "proactive attack" , to maximize the benefits, for the sake of money, he can sell anything, even the Chinese and Russian governments are interested in contacting him.


    In addition, An Feng also specially held a shareholder meeting to inform the shareholders of the decision to transfer hands. means to sell. Even CEO Bray Hawke can accept this result. After so many years of working abroad, it would be a good thing to go back to retire with hundreds of millions of dollars one day.


    However, An Feng considered one thing.


    He specially reminded Matthew that if a company thinks that it has acquired 30% of the shareholders and only buys 21% of itself, sorry, no matter whether it is 51% or 21%, the price will not budge. Mostly it is to offset a part, but the bottom line of 10 billion cannot be lowered.


    Matthew reassured him that these matters will be considered by the negotiating team in dozens of situations.


    An Feng also felt that he was overthinking. They are a professional negotiating team, how could they fail to consider these things, let alone 30%, even if it is 49%, if you want to make further progress, you have to pay a price above the bottom line. The final result is naturally nothing to worry about, just waiting to get the money.


    It took two days to deal with the transfer of shares in Tailan, and then invested in the project of the Jean and Tima Research Center, the purpose of which is the research of cancer cells. Mrs. Sinclair is his big backer. When it is not strong, the backer will burp.


    As the big boss, I checked the research work. According to Mike Case��s report, the progress is good, and a small breakthrough has been made. The use of physical therapy to kill cancer cells has a high probability of success, but the damage to the body is also great. They plan to first Overcome physical therapy, then it''s chemotherapy''s turn.


    The speed is not bad. According to the forecast, it should be able to go further by the end of the year. The current progress is exciting. An Feng returned to the office and listened to Joseph Hart''s report, and decided to allocate another five million to the research center. He also called Sinclair''s assistant and asked her if she would consider additional funding.


    The result is affirmative, especially knowing that these funds are used to research and develop cancer cells, and they promised to spare no effort, and the agreement was completed a day later. The sum of money is enough to spend a long time.


    When An Feng returned to SLO, it was already mid-June. Joanna specially organized a party for him to celebrate the year of immigration. Looking back on the bits and pieces encountered this year, it didn��t feel like a year, but several years. years. He has also developed from a small rich man with a dream of man-made diamonds to the present.


    However, the ultimate dream of benefiting mankind that he is most concerned about has not yet been realized. The steps of man-made diamonds are not difficult, but there are no sufficiently advanced machines.


    But the machine thing, after you have money, sooner or later.


    It was a while of emotion, but the most proud thing is that I met the right other half. The two are like glue, but respecting Joanna''s beliefs, they still haven''t broken the bottom line. But An Feng still feels very happy, true love is not all about sex, of course it is also indispensable. He was waiting for the opportunity to get down on one knee.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 108： Progressing well

    Chapter 108 is going well


    Two days after returning home, An Feng received a notice from the director of GP Company that the company was discussing the establishment of a battery branch, and asked him to make a proper statement.


    An Feng has nothing to say, and he doesn''t understand marketing, but the subsidiary''s speed is fast. I heard that the promotion of this aspect costs almost nothing, because it is an epoch-making super technology. The media that reported on the incident collectively climaxed.


    According to the marketing director, the most interested one is Tesla, which cares most about batteries. Tesla has been criticized and sought after for a long time. Its listed stock price soared, but it was rated as a junk stock, and it spent a lot of money to build a battery factory. Not long after, GP''s super battery came out, and as a result, a group of sarcastic sarcasm appeared... They broke out, and the most direct manifestation was to entangle GP.


    Anfeng��s support is naturally, no matter who comes to cooperate, as long as they bring a lot of money, they are good partners! Tesla is excellent in every way, because you only need to modify the test battery and install it on their MODEL series electric cars. After repeated tests a thousand times, everyone will shut their mouths.


    It is expected... It has been simulated by IBM''s large-scale computer. Equipped with mass-produced high-end batteries, it can easily more than double the range of Tesla. It took twenty minutes to charge, now it takes two minutes.


    This is completely killing a fuel car��it��s a pity that it is a high-end model, and the cost decision can only be used in high-end models with a cost of more than 100,000 US dollars. The mid-range and low-end are the mainstream consumers that occupy the market. However, even if the voyage becomes four to five hundred, with its fast charging ability, it can subvert the tradition.


    Tesla is not stupid. Now they are sending money and bribes, and they also want to seize some shares, so An Feng welcomes it��when the stock price has soared at least 50 times.


    In addition, before the establishment of the subsidiary, he called Wang Le. Last time, this guy was worried about missing 40 million yuan. This time, he will try his best to help him win some shares in the subsidiary. It will not be too much, and it will be limited to less than 1%. , or 0.5%, because the shares of the subsidiary are very popular at present, but with the face of the big boss, it is no problem to get a million shares. .


    Wang Le agreed without hesitation. With the lessons learned from the GP headquarters and a lot of homework on the battery, he knew that the subsidiary company was also not weak, and would change from millions to tens of millions in an instant, so he didn''t dare Negligence, repeated promises that he would come as soon as possible to share this tempting big cake.


    A few days later.


    An Feng admired Joanna driving Angelina to perform dressage at the racecourse. An Feng admired her accomplishments in this area, whether it was the horse''s pace, or her posture and demeanor, they were all impeccable. Just as she was thinking about it, her eyes narrowed, and Angelina, who was walking quickly, suddenly stood up, and turned around with her hind limbs as a fulcrum.


    Joanna pulled the rein to make it turn around, facing An Feng.


    "Beautiful!" An Feng praised, this is a standard hind leg rotation, which is relatively difficult. He tried several times, but Philip was too stupid to do it.


    The female knight smiled and nodded at him.


    The mobile phone in the coat pocket rang, An Feng took off his gloves, took a look at it, and answered: "Hello? Is Xiao Lezi here?"


    "Crap! Call me Brother Le!" Wang Le cursed habitually, "The plane has already landed, and you are limited to appear within three minutes, otherwise I will kidnap your girlfriend for ransom."


    An Feng despised: "You can beat her."


    Wang Lenu: "How dare you dare to suspect you, brother Le, with such a despicable act as a fight with a lady!"


    An Feng raised his hand and looked at his watch: "You are worth this little money, hahaha...Okay, wait a few more minutes, and I will fly a plane to pick you up."


    "Fly a plane?" Wang Le asked.


    "Wait." An Feng hung up the phone and said to Joanna, "Haney, I''m going to pick up a friend."


    Joanna said, "Do I need to be there?"


    "No, you continue." An Feng turned over and stepped on Philip, and ran towards the house. After reaching the top of the mountain, his black knight was parked on the front lawn. It was specially flown out. Yesterday I heard that Wang Le was going to leave Heading south from San Francisco, An Feng decided to fly the plane himself in order to demonstrate his skills.


    Because, he got his pilot license three days ago. Although he has a full-time driver, it��s like buying a new car. You��re always thinking about driving around when you have nothing to do. It��s best to be the type who also drives when you go to the toilet. ��the addiction will take at least a few weeks to kick.


    An Feng climbed into the cockpit without changing his clothes, put on his earphones, and started the plane. It is not easy to say that it is not easy to fly a plane alone. Both legs and hands must be used, and two pedals are stepped on to control the power and inclination of the tail rotor; The left hand is responsible for the collective lever, which looks like an extended car handbrake, but this thing is not used for braking, but for power (throttle) and blade pitch.


    According to physical theory, the helicopter is lifted by increasing the speed of the main rotor. Of course, it is correct, but the efficiency is not high, and it will cause the engine load to be too large. The mainstream method of modern helicopters is not like this. It is through Change the pitch of the main rotor blades to gain lift.


    Pull up the collective pitch lever of the throttle, after the pitch angle of the blades changes, the lift of the aircraft will increase, and it will rise slowly from the ground, and then manipulate the cyclic pitch lever, just like playing a game, push it forward, the tilter under the main rotor will It will lean forward, so as to gain the speed of flying forward. In the same way, push to the left means to move to the left, and pull back means to retreat, but at the same time, the angle of the tail rotor must be controlled, otherwise the power is too large, and the helicopter will spin and cannot maintain stability.


    After being proficient in flying a helicopter, An Feng felt that it was more difficult to take off than a car, but it was easier than a car when it was stable, because the sky is not like the ground, and there are almost no obstacles in the sky a few hundred meters above. road, hitting the car in front, etc.


    It took more than ten minutes to fly over the SLO airport, and after a circle, landed at the airport, jumped off the plane and took the documents to meet Wang Le at the airport. He was accompanied by his mixed-race girlfriend. The two had been mixed in China for a while. Went abroad again, heard from the group that life is very nourishing, Wang Le always shows off to them.


    "Hi, Lisa!" An Feng smiled and hugged Lisa, and at the same time stared at Wang Le, feeling proud of "eat your wife''s tofu".


    Wang Le waved his hand generously, expressing that he doesn''t mind.


    "Let''s go!" An Feng led them towards the interior of the airport, and Wang Le followed him: "Hey! Why do you smell like horse manure?"


    An Feng patted his clothes: "Didn''t you see what I was wearing? I was riding a horse just now. When I heard your call, I rushed here without even having time to change my clothes."


    In fact, even if An Feng was given an hour, he would not bother to change clothes, not to mention the British equestrian clothing is very good-looking, for him it is a slim suit with white leggings and black riding boots, how cool it is to match. It was Lisa who asked curiously, "Do you have horses at home?"


    "Of course, are you interested?" An Feng looked at her.


    "I used to be a member of the club, and my skills are good." Lisa said with a smile.


    An Feng took everything: "OK, go to my place, you can play as you like, the venue is not big, but it has everything you need."


    "It''s great, thank you!" Lisa went to pull Wang Le and said some plans for the meeting.


    Wang Le waved his hand: "If you like it, you can play with it. The third child is our best friend. If you don''t take advantage of it, you are a fool."


    An Feng felt as if he liked to give food to others.


    Both on the plane, seeing that An Feng was the only pilot, Wang Le and Lisa were both stunned. An Feng knew this early on, otherwise he wouldn''t be flying the plane by himself. He took out the flight license in his pocket, waved it in front of them like a sir from HK (the real place name is harmonious), and said, "I have a certificate."


    Then, under their admiration and worry, An Feng started the plane in a rude manner, blew a lot, said how powerful he was, and pulled the plane into the sky with a humming sound. Seeing that there is a lady here, An Feng will definitely show Wang Le his snake-like maneuvering backward flying (death) stunt.


    In the end, I flew back home relatively smoothly. On the way, at the request of the lady, I slowed down a little speed and altitude, so that they could enjoy the large area of ??vineyards that have begun to emerge below. The scenery is very beautiful, especially when overlooking from high altitude. An unrivaled pride.


    The plane landed on the grass smoothly, and before the rotors stopped completely, Joanna over there rode over, dismounted heroically, and patted the horse''s back. Don''t worry about whether it can find its own nest.


    This move is really eye-catching, Wang Le looked at Joanna, and then quietly winked at An Feng: "Why did you change it again?"


    An Feng smiled: "This is true love."


    "It''s your kid who can do it." Wang Le despised him, and he greeted Joanna warmly, but she is British and not used to hugging.


    After everyone got to know each other, An Feng warmly invited them into the house and asked the guests to sit down. Joanna was the standard hostess'' duty to bring them snacks. Wang Le felt envious after seeing it, and pulled An Feng over. : "Since when did the blonde girl become so obedient?"


    "Your point of view is misleading." An Feng was speechless, "Some kind of legend says that blonde girls are a bit more natural than those with ordinary hair."


    "Yes, that''s what it means." Wang Le nodded.


    "Go! That''s not what it means!" An Feng kicked him, "This is my future wife, a top student in business school, and can understand a lot of Chinese, so stop talking about things that are not good for me in the future."


    Wang Le smiled: "Look at how proud you are! Well, let''s mess around with small things, and don''t mess around with big things, so I''ll let you go this time. Then let''s exchange notes in Chinese? Or use regional dialects?"


    "Soul light!" An Feng and he started to choke each other and fight, and finally added a sentence to Lisa who was watching the battle: "Don''t mind, this product is not good enough, I''ve trained it for you, and it will be more durable in the future!"


    Lisa covered her mouth and smiled.

 Chapter 109： An Fengs Gun Shop

    Chapter 109 An Feng''s Gun Shop


    (Eh, let��s go to another chapter of the public, there is a problem with the shelf, I have to wait until the afternoon, the convention is to explode at seven o��clock)


    ��


    Wang Le stayed here for a few days in Anfeng, mainly to satisfy his girlfriend Lisa''s riding fun. After that, everyone packed their luggage and prepared to leave for Texas. In fact, An Feng''s usual style is to only bring his ID card and various cards when going out, because everything can be bought locally, but ladies are different, there are too many fragments.


    It didn''t take much time, because there was a special plane to serve. After driving a short distance, I boarded the Bombardier business jet provided by Mrs. Sinclair. Young people have a lot of topics, Lisa is very interested in equestrianism, and Joanna is professional enough, so there are chattering female voices all the way.


    After arriving in Austin, stay in the pre-booked hotel, the best presidential room. Since An Feng planned to sell Tailan Company at a price of no less than 10 billion, he didn''t feel much heartache about these expenses��in fact, he was heartless and indifferent before.


    The purpose this time is mainly for official business, which is naturally a matter for GP. After negotiations among shareholders, Anfeng finally made the decision. After the appearance of low-cost samples of super batteries, the subsidiary-GP Energy is about to come out. In the past few days, I have been considering various issues, including registered capital and shareholders.


    An Feng used his own privilege to win some share for Wang Le, not many, most of them were booked by the giants. It��s really not easy to make some money these days, especially in the fields that threaten the existence of a certain party. On the surface, it is natural selection, but secretly there will be many people itching. The cooperation with the giants is to put an end to these troubles.


    After staying, the ladies went to experience the exclusive semi-outdoor swimming pool in the hotel suite, while An Feng and Wang Le each had a bottle of beer and sat on the sofa to clink bottles and drink. After chatting and despising each other, An Feng got to the point: "The current plan is that GP Energy intends to register a capital of 100 million, the headquarters will occupy 55% of the shares, and the other 45% will be divided among various people, but there are already 40% It''s booked."


    Wang Le could only admire after hearing this: "It seems that these big companies are far-sighted. As soon as they have samples, they are hungry one by one."


    An Feng said with a smile: "Foresight is just a tool for me to make money. How much do you plan to invest?"


    Wang Le said: "I can use more than 18 million."


    An Feng blurted out: "Damn it! Local tyrant!"


    Wang Le rolled his eyes: "RMB! Also don''t be surprised, okay? My little money is insignificant in front of you. You are the real representative of capitalist corruption. In the old society, everyone shouted and beat me! I I forgot how to convert, what is the latest exchange rate?"


    An Feng said: "That''s not a lot, six o''clock. If you bring so much money, it''s enough for two investment immigration quotas. Don''t you plan to change your permanent residence?"


    Wang Le said seriously: "I also thought about it, because my brother is in charge of the family, and I''m not his kind of business material, so I just want to be free. I''ve been in the country for a while, and I don''t see any prospects. , but getting the right of residence means staying in the United States for a long time.��


    "Just go back in three to five months. Do you love your family so much?" An Feng also knows his concerns. Regarding green card holders who have been away from the United States for too long, the immigration bureau will think that you have no intention of immigrating, and will reset the length of stay. If the time is too long, the permanent residency will be cancelled.


    Wang Le smiled: "Forget that you are a realistic example."


    An Feng said: "Let''s change the way of thinking. If you are in China, you only go home once or twice a year when you go out to work. You may not go back when you are busy. And the green card is just a visa-free token for the United States. His uncle It''s making people unhappy, and the card is thrown back to the country, so how can I be with me?"


    Wang Le nodded: "It makes sense, I''ll think about it."


    ��


    An Feng has attended several company meetings, and the matter of the subsidiary company has been finalized, and even the government departments are ready. Capitalism still talks about privileges, but this is not determined by the power of a certain person, but by the capital of a certain company. . It''s easy to think that big customers will naturally get more smiles.


    Some details still need to be polished. An Feng was too lazy to sit in the office with them all day in a daze, so he ordered his assistant, Miss Eve Ludlow, to sit down and report important matters to himself on time. Later, when I mentioned the hunting ground I bought, everyone was very interested and rented a car to go there together.


    The hunting ground in Llano County is about 100 kilometers away from Austin. Because it is not remote, the level of education is high, and the development is good. This is one of the main reasons why An Feng chose it in the first place. To be honest, in the United States, racial issues cannot be avoided in some areas with low culture. Those white people who have not read many books and have not seen the world look down on other people of color, even though they themselves are stinky dicks.


    There are two reasons why An Feng rarely encounters this kind of situation: he lives and lives in an area where rich people are concentrated, and everyone is educated and of high quality, so he is naturally open-minded about racial issues; He is a wealthy businessman, and he has only seen ordinary people shouting discrimination, which is unfair, but he has never seen rich people calling himself discriminated against, right? Even if you discriminate, rich people don''t take you seriously!


    Texas is not as good as California, New York and other multi-ethnic areas. There will definitely be some prejudices, but no one will say it out loud, because the laws in the United States are very strict in this regard. White people despise black people, but they will never say it out loud, but you can see the residential areas. I understand, there is a clear distinction between white areas and black areas, and laws alone are not enough.


    After driving for more than an hour, the road was straight and there was no toll booth... When I arrived in Buchanandan, I gradually restored the rural landscape with vast land and few people. When approaching Buchanan Lake, residential areas gradually appeared on the side of the road, in twos and threes, looking a bit desolate.


    An Feng in front turned on the turn signal, signaling to pull over, and Wang Le pulled over with him. When you get off the bus, you will find a newly renovated gun shop, which is easy to recognize because its signboard is a huge revolver with the words "Mike Huoli" written in English on it. The oversized gun shop sign stands beside the road, which is very conspicuous.


    After getting out of the car, An Feng glanced at the parking spaces allocated at the entrance of the store. There were five or six cars parked. It wasn''t a weekend, but there were some customers. It seemed that the business situation was pretty good. He called everyone over, held Joanna''s hand, and walked into the gun shop together, suddenly enlightened.


    A medium-sized gun store has everything it should have. Rows of shelves are filled with colorful bullet boxes, and the walls are covered with all kinds of long guns, ranging in model and age; pistols of different lengths are neatly placed in transparent containers. Advertisements and posters of various firearms or outdoor brands are hung on the wall; there are also some firearm accessories in the professional area, ranging from gun oil to gun DIY equipment.


    There are all kinds of firearms in the store, and several customers are pushing trolleys through the shelves full of bullets, giving people the same feeling as shopping in a supermarket.


    "Authentic American gun store culture! Long time no see, Bruce!" The old Mike who came over after hearing the news smiled and gave An Feng a warm hug. In this respect, the people of Texas are very straightforward. He will show you if he thinks you are good. My enthusiasm, but if I think you are not good, I will bring it up in person, and I don''t care about your feelings.


    "It looks awesome!" An Feng looked around. The gun shop only had one floor, but the ceiling was high, and fluorescent lights were hanging down, making it look like a small warehouse.


    "As long as you are satisfied!" Old Mike said with a smile.


    "For a layman like me, it''s impeccable!" An Feng introduced his companions, "They are my friends, and they came here to open their eyes."


    Old Mike said proudly: "This place is naturally full of western style! Come! I will take you for a walk, there are many ideas for improvement!"


    Old Mike enthusiastically introduced them here and there. Since the gun shop is built on Anfeng''s private land, it occupies a large area. It is not crowded when a group of people stroll around. When they meet those who are interested, they stop Touch it, or hold it in your hand and take a photo as a souvenir.


    What was even more shocking was that there was actually an American M72-LAW rocket launcher hanging on the wall in a certain place, and there was also a brand new AT4 rocket launcher!


    An Feng was amazed: "Mike, are these real?"


    Old Mike nodded: "Of course! But don''t get me wrong, although it is genuine, we don''t sell rockets, that''s what arms dealers do!"


    "Oh!" An Feng nodded, if he could really play bazooka, then this gun shop would be invincible. If you want to enjoy the fun, the level is still not high enough. Maybe you will be able to enjoy the fun after being promoted to a company with an arms manufacturing license... But it is not impossible, as long as you have money.


    Walking around, Wang Le asked: "Is the gun shop yours?"


    An Feng smiled and nodded: "Of course, but I''m just an investor. It''s Old Mike who actually manages the operation of the gun store. I don''t interfere in these things."


    "It''s really clever!" Wang Le saw through An Feng''s original purpose at a glance, "Let the native Americans run the gun shop, and you can easily bypass the gun management regulations!"


    "As long as you understand it!" An Feng patted him on the shoulder, looking at the rows of weapons: "How is it? Do you like it? It''s all mine, just play with it! It''s not called playing with guns in California, but in California. Only in Texas can you see the true power of all kinds of weapons. Look at this row! There are semi-automatic and fully automatic, the M240 squad machine gun, 7.62mm fully automatic! The classic US military M60 machine gun, with a bullet chain wrapped around it, let��s pretend to be a blue wave ! And that sniper rifle that is as tall as a person, dare to play?"

 Chapter 110： Helicopter hunting【Seeking first order】

    Chapter 110 Helicopter Hunting��Seek first order��


    Finally, they held all kinds of eye-catching weapons and tried shooting them one by one in the spacious shooting range behind the gun shop.


    The shooting range with 50-meter, 100-meter and 200-meter targets is very popular. According to the old Mike, since the standard shooting range was built, nearby residents also like to come here to practice guns, because the field is large and spacious enough , A gun club has also moved here, and every month from time to time, a group of people come here to buy bullets.


    An Feng and Old Mike sat near the entrance of the shooting range and chatted about the gun shop. Old Mike looked at the few customers on the shooting range and said: "According to the current development speed, the loss is a bit, but the gun shop The geographical advantage is great, and after becoming famous, the profit will be realized sooner or later.��


    Regarding the management issue, An Feng completely let go: "According to your plan, don''t worry about my ideas. The reason I support you is just my love for guns, so let''s play to your heart''s content. But from the rocket launcher just now, I think of some Idea, please refer to it."


    Old Mike said: "Please speak."


    An Feng said: "I know that the United States allows some retired weapons and equipment to be bought and sold among the people. In addition to launchers, there are also some armored vehicles and tanks."


    Old Mike said: "This aspect is very free. Let''s take tanks as an example. You can put them on private land without any problem, but if you drive on the road, you need to go through the formalities, and some places need to apply in advance. And no matter where, as long as it is On the road, it is necessary to put rubber pads on the track to prevent damage to the road.��


    An Feng nodded: "Yes, that''s what I meant, but I didn''t plan to drive it on the road. Didn''t you find that the land behind is very spacious?"


    Old Mike smiled: "That''s all right, no one else can control your own land. If you can add one or two tanks, it will increase the popularity of the gun shop. Oh, it''s a pity you are late, last time East Texas There just happened to be a private auction of Sherman tanks from the US military!"


    "The Sherman is too small!" An Feng shook his head, "It may not necessarily be a tank, such as a military vehicle. The Humvee retired from the US military is also good."


    The main reason is that tanks can��t play without shells, but for Humvees, you can add the M2 machine gun in the store, and then run wild in the mountains.


    Old Mike said: "It''s fine, I''ll help you pay attention to these news, there is an association that specializes in this kind of thing, and I will tell you as soon as there is a sale."


    ��


    After playing enough, everyone left. The purpose of coming today is not all to play with guns, otherwise the local gun shop is fine, and the incidental vacation is also one of them. Anfeng��s hunting grounds have both mountains and plains, and there is a section next to the river. It can be said that there are all kinds of green mountains and green waters, and there are no white flowers in 20 million yuan.


    The leased GMC climbed a short dirt road and passed through a forest covered by dense forests. The sun shines on the ground, giving people a kind of quiet greenness. Animals also became the focus of their cameras.


    The vehicle passed through the woods at a leisurely pace and came to an open area. The sun reappeared, and the view was vast. Looking down from the heights, a group of cattle and sheep moved on the plain leisurely. A cowboy was riding a horse and following slowly. A river with rippling blue waves, rushing for thousands of miles, and on the other side of the river farther away, there are a few families scattered sparsely, with green smoke curling up, as if far away from the hustle and bustle.


    Joanna said with emotion: "It''s so beautiful, like a picture scroll, I really want to lie on the green grass and close my eyes."


    An Feng looked at the scorching sun above his head, the beauty is beautiful, but it is a pity that the weather is so hot this summer, and he doesn��t know how to stay in the car and blow on the air conditioner. When he goes out and stands for a few minutes, sweating profusely, the strong rural pastoral thoughts It will disappear. The hunting ground is estimated to be comfortable after October.


    They lived in a wooden house not far from the river bank. There was no master house built here. An ordinary two-story wooden house was their residence. In addition, there were Lawrence and two full-time cowboys. They stayed on the night shift according to the shift system. Then everyone comes to work together in the morning.


    Lawrence heard that the owner of the hunting ground showed up, even though he wasn''t on duty, he came here specially, and chatted with An Feng, who had never seen him before and after, about the hunting ground. It will affect hunting, and the prey is more active in the woods.


    An Feng listened and understood: "That is to say, you want to build a fence around the plain to prevent wolves and wild boars from coming in to make trouble?"


    "That''s what it means," Lawrence said.


    "Okay, let''s do it, some cattle and sheep are also good." An Feng said, he had no idea, he just thought it would be more natural to have more cattle and sheep in the tranquil scene.


    In the evening, everyone eats roasted venison, the authentic game brought by Lawrence, both American and domestic methods are used together, the oil is added, and the fragrance wafts hundreds of meters away. Oily, with a bulging stomach, and then put a few cloth mats in the yard, lit mosquito repellent incense, looked at the quiet night sky, and talked about life.


    Away from the hustle and bustle, it is rare to experience life with your lover and friends. In a big city, everyone is overwhelmed by various jobs and life. It is only in this slow-paced, ideal and simple village. Relive the carefree days of yesteryear.


    ��


    Although it was very hot during the day, everyone voted unanimously to stay for a few more days.


    One day when there was a marksmanship competition in the shooting range, when discussing the timing of hunting, the old Mike mentioned a point: "Maybe you can try the lazy way."


    "The lazy way?" An Feng looked at Old Mike.


    The old Mike said with a smile: "The rich usually don''t have much time and want to hunt, so they will dispatch helicopters. Recently, the wild boar disaster in the farmland of Llano County has been very serious, and it is also the season of abnormal high temperature, so the farmers have hired hunters to hunt wild boars. , Even the government has issued a special order to hunt and kill to a certain extent, in exchange for government rewards."


    Lisa, who lived in the city since she was a child, didn''t understand. Wang Le explained: "Wild boars are farmland killers. A wild boar can destroy several acres of land in one night!"


    Lisa understood, no wonder the government issued a reward order.


    An Feng asked: "Where is there a helicopter that specializes in this kind of thing?"


    Old Mike said: "There are so many!"


    Finally, An Feng called two Robinson R44 helicopters, single-engine, four-seater, specially modified for hunting, the side hatches were removed, and the seats were improved, allowing hunters to sit comfortably and aim with guns There is no escape for prey below. There are not many skills, it mainly depends on marksmanship.


    After simple training, the four chose their own weapons. An Feng took a desert-colored SCAR rifle, which was semi-automatic because of regulations. And automatic hunting... It''s too cheating, and the fun of hunting is lost. This group of people does not have a fully automatic gun license, and it is not appropriate to use fully automatic guns in a high-profile manner while sitting on a helicopter.


    An Feng and Joanna are in a group, An Feng is in the front row, she is in the back row, wearing a Kevlar bulletproof helmet from a gun store, adding an action camera, and holding a SCAR rifle of the same style, 5.56mm caliber, semi-automatic, equipped with a hologram Looking at the scope, the two bet on a couple''s request to see who hunted the most wild boars.


    The two farms that received the request for help were 30 kilometers away. Recently, there have been a number of wild boar herds with more than 20 wild boars ravaging the farmland. The farmers are desperate but helpless. The continuous high temperature has almost driven them crazy. Tailan''s products were in short supply, and wild boars also came to join in the fun at this time... As a result, a linkage mechanism was launched, and hunters who loved hunting acted as free fighters, while farmers provided places.


    The hunt begins.


    In a gust of howling wind, the helicopter lowered its flight altitude, and a layer of yellow smoke rolled up on the ground. The wild boars in the shade in the dark were startled, and they all ran for their lives to a place they thought was safe. The plane caught up, lowered and stabilized the fuselage, The distance from the ground is generally only about three or four meters.


    An Feng held his gun, aimed at the buttocks of a running wild boar in front of him and fired. With a bang, the bullets rolled up a cloud of smoke around the wild boar. The smoke dissipated, and the wild boar continued to run wildly, but missed!


    Gunshots sounded "bang" around her, and Joanna took advantage of the plane''s steady lateral movement to shoot and kill An Feng''s prey.


    An Feng looked back at her, and she danced her fist proudly: "One!"


    An Feng smiled and continued to look for his prey. The pilot of the helicopter is skilled and knows how to find the shooting angle for the hunter. Sometimes the height of the flight is even less than one meter. An Feng stepped on the landing gear and felt that the seat belt was loosened. I can jump down by myself.


    Another wild boar was lined up in a straight line with the helicopter. An Feng was in the front seat, holding a gun and aiming easily. The writhing **** of the wild boar appeared in the holographic scope. When the trigger was pulled, it fell to the ground with a "bang" , but this guy keeps getting up! With experience, An Feng fired two shots to pin it to the ground.


    "One!" An Feng said to Joanna with a smile.


    The hunting efficiency of flying a helicopter is very high. Once the target is identified, the prey can hardly outrun the flying machine. You only need to pay attention to the accuracy of moving and shooting. The wild boar fell under the gun, and the sense of accomplishment is self-evident.


    Going back and forth a few times, Joanna may have played with bows and arrows more, which made her intuition sharper, and she shot less often, but the hit rate was high. On the contrary, An Feng likes to be more exciting. One shot knocks down the prey. Cracking continuously, let the bullets tear these fangs and black-backed little monsters apart!


    Shooting prey at low altitude one shot at a time, used up five or six magazines, and the number of wild boars is definitely more than twenty, but the prey is more enjoyable!


    It took half an hour to shoot in the air. After cleaning the ground, I drove away a group of wild boars who had escaped nearby, so that they would not approach the human farmland planting area. Although the two helicopters were powerful, they were no match for the large number of wild boars. Some of them died on the road, but some escaped into the jungle. An Feng let them go. It was his territory, and he kept some seeds for hunting in winter. Interesting enough.


    Later, the helicopter also specially flew around his hunting ground according to An Feng''s request. The widest part of the hunting ground is 4 kilometers, and the longest part is 8 kilometers. Everyone said it was an excellent ground hunting ground.


    After landing, everyone took off the camera on the helmet, and the computer read the memory card. In the end, Joanna was ranked first, An Feng was behind by two points, and Wang Le and Lisa had mediocre results due to their lack of proficiency. Not weaker than Joanna, they counted the fallen prey in the video and cheered: "It''s great!"


    An Feng looked at Joanna who was brimming with joy: "Come on, see what you want me to do."


    Joanna said: "I ask you to accompany me...to a musical in New York, how about it?"


    An Feng nodded: "Okay, the time is up to you."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 111： make a small profit

    Chapter 111 A small profit


    After staying for another day, everyone left.


    Rural life is mostly a novelty. Occasionally, you will live for three or five days with endless aftertaste and full of praise, but if you live for a month or two, you will face a rural environment with monotonous rhythm, unchanging scenery, and no one in sight for several kilometers away. , I''m afraid I''ll be annoyed to vomit. To be interesting, you have to keep it fresh.


    Before An Feng left, he planned to buy a helicopter when he came back next time. Inspired by the helicopter hunting yesterday, he thought it would be a good idea to buy a Robinson R44 helicopter. It has many advantages: it can be used for hunting for lazy people; it is convenient to go to and from Austin And hunting grounds; the price is affordable, only 600,000 yuan.


    This last point is to be discussed... Wang Le thinks. The price of nearly 4 million yuan is not easy for ordinary people to bear, but he should also think about the actual situation. Anfeng''s Bell helicopter is worth 20 million yuan in exchange, so he feels that the benefits are based on the comparison of items .


    Self-driving back to the tree-lined Austin, the matter of the GP subsidiary is still under discussion, and the result will be announced within a few days. An Feng made some requests of his own, hoping to win some favor shares. Shareholder representatives said that they would give priority to consideration, because there are currently many investors, such as Google, Microsoft, or General Motors and other big companies are interested. Some investment funds that have nothing to do at all also want to get involved.


    Even 0.5% represents a lot of money. The company plans to sell 45 million shares. In fact, after the high-profile publicity of the super battery and the joint test with Tesla, the effect shocked the world, so its price can easily increase by more than 60 times, which means a Original stocks in US dollars cost at least 60 US dollars to buy.


    He and Wang Le act separately temporarily. Joanna wanted to drop by Mrs. Sinclair, but Wang Le and Lisa didn''t know anyone from the Sinclair family, so it was obviously not suitable. Their plan was to visit the space city: Houston.


    I drove to the magnificent manor that I have visited several times, but I saw Mrs. Sinclair and her son Matthew. The old lady is like the dead donkey of the British. No one is allowed to support her. Not only her, but many Westerners are independent. If you uphold the mentality of respecting the old and caring for the young, you will help the old people crossing the road with a cane on the street, and you may be hit on the head with the cane.


    Considering the physical condition, everyone sat down and communicated. Joanna was related to the old lady, so she did not hide too much. She confessed that she had been ill for a long time, and laughed at herself: "There is no doubt that I To be able to continue to make the ladies and ladies at Royal Ascot next year even more boring discussing how long I will live. It is my honor - at a young age, I hope that I will be the center of attention next to respecting the Queen."


    Everyone laughed. The British are born with a self-deprecating and ironic blood. If you want to talk about the government and current affairs, their attainments are no weaker than that of the Americans, just because these people are born with a cold appearance, and they talk about gentlemen and ladies. Demeanor makes people subconsciously deceived.


    An Feng called this a kind of "boring = sassy humor", such as Mr. Douzi.


    Seeing that the old lady did not shy away from these things, An Feng asked, "Can I see your health report?"


    Everyone looked at An Feng, the old lady nodded: "No problem."


    The steward said: "I''ll arrange for someone to get it right away, everyone please wait a moment."


    An Feng explained to other doubtful people: "Although I don''t have a medical license, I think my research in the field of cytology is pretty good."


    Everyone here knows that An Feng is in charge of the medical research center, and it is said that he plays a leading role in many studies in it...It sounds incredible. When the butler handed the documents to An Feng with both hands, he lowered his head and began to read them, and the others also lowered their conversation voices.


    After a while, An Feng looked up and found that everyone was looking at him, and the conversation had long since stopped. He smiled: "Sorry, I''ve been fascinated by it. Regarding Madam''s situation, it''s not too bad. To maintain medication, the most important thing is to maintain With a good attitude, I am sure to solve it within a year."


    "Solve it within a year?" Matthew blurted out.


    The old lady was very indifferent, but her gaze revealed her mood.


    "Yes, I''m very sure." An Feng said confidently, "Let me tell you a little bit, the research center has made progress in the subject of cancer cells, and physical therapy is sure to completely eliminate them, but it does great damage to the body, and Use different methods for different patients."


    When it comes to the professional field, An Feng spouted a lot of things that made non-professionals confused, but everyone saw that he was talking happily and didn''t bother him. When he came back to his senses, he smiled awkwardly: "I There have been too many studies on these recently, in short, a calm mind, a breakthrough will come sooner or later."


    Joanna was surprised: "Bruce, you actually have research in medicine?"


    An Feng smiled: "It''s not medicine, it''s just cytology."


    But it is enough to set off a storm in everyone''s mind. From agriculture to electronics, to medicine, the span is very large, the research is deep, and the achievements are amazing... This guy is the rhythm of the devil, right? There is no such thing as a "monster" among foreigners, only super geniuses. Undoubtedly, An Feng''s head was labeled by them.


    The most enviable thing is that he spends 99% of his time playing, but he has more achievements than others in his life.


    As a result, when An Feng went back, he received another medical investment of 5 million US dollars. Strictly speaking, it was the assistance of the family foundation, and it was not included in the shares of the research center. It can be seen how much the Sinclair family attaches importance to it. It can be said that as long as Possibly, they will spare no effort to fight for it.


    Returned to Austin again, and participated in the company meeting with Wang Le, who had returned from playing.


    The final result came out, and the subsidiary was named: GP Energy. GP holds 55% of the shares, and the second is Tesla. It is going all out. Last year, it spent five or six billion high-profile battery factories. This year, the super battery will come out... Typical failed investments, but they turn around quickly. GP As soon as the company''s publicity came out, they strongly demanded to provide vehicle testing. As soon as the results came out, they gritted their teeth and bought 20% of the shares at 70 times the price, which is 1.4 billion US dollars.


    General Motors took 6% of the shares even though the finances were tight, while German Volkswagen Group took 5%, and Google also took 5%. Sin Energy added fire, and 2% made a high-profile contribution of 200 million U.S. dollars, which is regarded as a gift. The rest of the share was divided up by major investment groups, which invested 350 million yuan.


    In the end, the company set aside 2% of the shares to be used as reserves for various purposes, to motivate employees, to distribute internally, and so on. An Feng, the big boss behind the scenes, put forward some opinions and won 1 million shares for Wang Le, accounting for 1 million shares. 1%, An Feng didn''t care much, besides, they were buddies.


    But when Wang Le knew it, he said: "One million shares is too much, and you lost money at the price of one dollar a share. I can''t take advantage of you so much."


    An Feng said with a smile: "It''s okay, there will be additional investment in the future, and your 1% will become 0.5% or lower by then."


    Wang Le shook his head: "That''s not what I said, my brother still knows how to settle accounts, so you just give me 300,000 shares, how about I spend 3 million to buy them?"


    An Feng was about to speak, when Wang Le said again: "Just ten times the price, 300,000 shares, it''s a big advantage for you, if you agree, you will continue to be a brother!"


    An Feng nodded, he couldn''t beat him, but he was very touched, one million shares, one million dollars, almost 60 million in hand, but Wang Le refused, only willing to exchange 3 million dollars for 300,000 shares, although he would still be very happy Earn, but the meaning is different... An Feng doesn''t value this little money.


    After An Feng nodded, Wang Le was overjoyed, because after seeing those giants vying for shares at high prices, he knew that unless there was a natural or man-made disaster, he would be a billionaire. Hundreds of millions (RMB), a better life is within reach.


    An Feng was also very happy. With simple publicity, giants who saw the potential of the market gathered around one after another. In fact, 45% of the shares brought in an investment of 3.15 billion US dollars. Almost in the blink of an eye, 55% of GP��s shares were easily sold. Let it be worth more than 3.8 billion, and taking into account the absolute holding, the price is even higher.


    And this is just the first crazy warm-up before the official mass production. If it goes public, according to the current growth momentum, it will be easy to double again. Maybe in a few years, the original stock will be like Apple''s popular stock. With an increase of more than 600 times, the shares alone will be worth hundreds of billions by then.


    An Feng felt that he had really made a lot of money.


    Everything is ready for the mass production of graphene batteries. The only thing we need is Dongfeng. At present, the middle and low-end battery samples have found a partner��Tesla, which specializes in electric vehicles. After Tesla became famous, positive and negative reports emerged one after another. Some people said that it drove the development of new energy vehicles, and some people ridiculed that it used lithium-ion battery packs. Now that the super battery was born, these people rushed like hungry wolves. come up.


    It is estimated that in the near future, the news media should report again: Tesla has turned over! Things like stock prices skyrocketing, and then those venomous BBs disappear after a few clicks.


    Another important point is that the research and development of graphene chips is also in full swing. After the company received investment, the funds have increased, and it has cooperated with giants. It can requisition IBM''s laboratory, and the research and development speed has increased a lot. However, for the sake of confidentiality, many confidential matters are completed in the headquarters laboratory.


    This is An Feng''s request. He feels that none of these large American companies are clean. Google assists in monitoring, Microsoft helps to keep backdoors, and IBM has loopholes... Although it has little to do with him, it is always right just in case. - They want to steal their technological achievements?


    It is unlikely, because the high-end is strictly confidential, and the low-end is one patent step by step, and 10,000 steps back, even if it is really preempted, the next stronger security technology will drive the thief to death in every field.


    But now there is no need to bring such advanced things to the society. One is that other environments cannot keep up, and the other is that it takes brains.


    Finally, it was the cooperation with Matthew. Mrs. Sinclair did not hide the matter from Mrs. Sinclair. She took a tacit attitude, neither denying An Feng''s eagerness for quick success, nor affirming that changing hands was a good choice. However, she said that the Sinclair family will provide support. Not to mention the reasons, the transaction is successful, and they can get the bottom line price of 3 billion.


    Billions of cash is a piece of fat that cannot be discarded for giants.


    The form of the invitation to talk is more like an invitation to a tender meeting. Regardless of whether there is any movement or not, the major giants send greetings in the name of the Sinclair family to express their intentions, and then talk about it at will. The main thing is to show their attitude, it is impossible for the big to bully the small, Tai Lan, who seems to have no background, is covered by big bosses.

 Chapter 112： east trip

    Chapter 112 Journey to the East


    It''s already July when we go back to SLO again.


    The heat above the head remains the same, it seems that the continuous high temperature has started in mid-May, or... this reason is called summer? It didn''t affect An Feng very much, he floated on the water comfortably, and he didn''t want to leave the water until Joanna woke up the slob who was about to sink.


    "Soaking in water for a long time is not good for the skin." Joanna handed him the bath towel.


    An Feng took the towel and was not serious: "Of order, miss!"


    Joanna turned the laptop screen to him: "I''ve already decided that the musical "Phantom of the Opera" will be the biggest performance this year, and it''s a wonderful classic."


    "Is it interesting?" An Feng sat down and looked at the screen.


    Joanna frowned: "Interesting? What a strange way to say it. Musicals are a visual and auditory feast, and you will find that the trip is worthwhile if you invest in it. Believe me, the enduring musicals are by no means in vain , I��ve watched it six times in total, and I��m still looking forward to it!��


    "I hope it''s like what you said." An Feng always feels that these elegant artistic enjoyments are far away from him. Usually, those in the upper class or those who are suspected of being pretentious will talk about it, but it doesn''t matter now, Joe Anna likes it. So a good man must learn to accept the preferences of the other half... Find the address and the name of the theater, which is located on the famous Broadway in New York, a prosperous area of ??theaters.


    An Feng raised his head and asked, "Do you need me to reserve a seat?"


    "Well, it''s better like this, I don''t want to miss the exciting." Joanna said.


    "No problem." An Feng dialed the secretary''s phone number and got two tickets for the best seats he could find.


    "It''s done, the box on the second floor is facing the stage." An Feng triumphantly asked for credit.


    "Great!" Joanna kissed him.


    "Not enough!" An Feng put his arms around her waist, hugged her into his arms, and kissed her a few more times: "It''s just this one time, are you worthy of my hard work?"


    Joanna broke away a little: "It''s wet all over, it''s so annoying."


    "It took less than ten seconds to change from liking to hating? I''m so worthless!" An Feng said sadly.


    "Although you are my dearest, but��" Joanna put her arms around his neck, "I hate you."


    An Feng fought with her a few times, and asked casually: "Then what shall we do next?"


    "Prepare the costume!" Joanna said.


    Clothing, including clothes and jewelry, must be prepared, because women will find ways to "arm" themselves whenever they attend any public occasion, but An Feng did not expect to pay attention to so many rules.


    First, let��s take the clothes needed for formal occasions, that is, the so-called dresses, which are divided into morning, noon and evening, that is, morning dresses, afternoon dresses and evening dresses. Subdivided further down, this evening dress can also be divided into many types, semi-formal dresses, cocktail dresses for cocktail parties, traditional evening dresses for formal banquets...


    It is said that although the British don��t know how to eat, they are very good at dressing. Just the level of attention to one of these items makes An Feng a little dazzled. If he wants to go to the real upper class... He is grateful that he has a girlfriend who comes from a wealthy family. It saves him the trouble of using his brain.


    Going around for two days, after collecting all the outfits, I met with relatives and friends. There were only three people. This time, my parents were not in a hurry. I heard that I went to visit the land of China with friends. I met with my sister''s family of three, introduced Joanna who didn''t need to be introduced at all, took a helicopter home in their gossip eyes, gave them some things without giving them time, and then both fled California.


    In addition to watching the theater, I also plan to travel. I have been living on the west coast, and occasionally change my taste. It is also good to experience the eastern style. Business jet travel is very casual in terms of time. It takes off in the morning and arrives in New York after one o''clock in the afternoon. After renting a luxury SUV, we stay in a hotel suite.


    After a short nap, as night fell, Joanna appeared in a quasi-gown, a red knee-length tight dress, and the bright red represented her good mood. With a hand-held simple leather wallet, white high-heeled shoes, and a string of bright white pearl necklaces around the neck, with a faint smile, it is elegant and unconventional.


    Compared with the luxurious traditional evening dresses, Joanna''s quasi-dresses are more casual, less solemn, and more lively. She walked out of the hotel with An Feng''s hand in her arms. An extended concierge car was waiting at the door, and the driver in a tuxedo opened the door for them.


    The concierge car merged into the traffic flow and came to Broadway, which runs north and south in Manhattan. All the way to the north, there are dozens of theaters, large and small, on the side of the road. The most you can see on the road are dense crowds, towering skyscrapers and building walls. Faced with a huge advertisement like psoriasis.


    Especially when passing through Times Square, there are dense high-rise buildings and crowded people. Advertisers did not miss any opportunity to promote��that is, stick psoriasis on the building.


    The limousine car followed the double-decker sightseeing bus in front, and Anfeng felt the congestion in the world economic center and the technology atmosphere coming to him.


    "There it is, tonight''s theater." Joanna looked out the window.


    An Feng followed her gaze, and the car was getting closer and closer. A huge LCD billboard on the right hand side of the building displayed a white mask with the English word "phantom" written on it, matching the dark background. It also has a bit of a ghostly mood.


    When the car came to a complete stop, someone immediately stepped forward and opened the rear door of the extended car. An Feng walked out first, then handed Joanna his hand, asking her to get off the car in a very gracious manner. Turning around, I saw a long queue at the entrance of the theater, winding and circling, probably at the end of the street. The weather was hot, but the enthusiasm of the audience remained undiminished.


    Joanna glanced at the team: "This is the charm."


    But they don��t have to queue up. VIP is used to show that they are one step ahead. After scanning the tickets in the dedicated channel, they are invited in by a special receptionist.


    They sat in the box on the second floor. The box area is independent of each other. It is not spacious, but the position is very upright. Looking around, you can appreciate the grandeur and majesty of the stage. It adopts the style of classical European theater, surrounded by carved beams And the statues, no doubt, took a lot of work in original design.


    The audience entered the venue one after another, most of them were in formal attire, some were rigorous and had a full set of suits and dresses; Unfold in this solemn atmosphere.


    What should I say about this play? An Feng was amazed by the lighting and sound effects at the beginning, and then it became dull, because the performance of the musical is a bit... just like Disney animation. The bel canto came out. Short name: Can''t speak well.


    I took a sneak peek at Joanna, who was fascinated by watching the drama. Fortunately, she was accompanied by a girl, and the actresses on the stage were more eye-catching, until the moving song "The-phantom-of-the-opera" by the heroine and the phantom began Finally, An Feng really put himself into the plot.


    After more than two hours of performance, according to An Feng''s personal imagination, it is actually about a love triangle between two men and one woman who hate and love at the same time. Among the two male protagonists, one is short and ugly, and the other is tall, rich and handsome. At first the heroine admired Ao Zou Chou''s musical talent, but later on she was no match for Gao Fu Shuai''s brilliance, and finally abandoned her spare tire and threw herself into Gao Fu Shuai''s arms, Ai Zou Chou disappeared heartbroken.


    An Feng commented: "If you are ugly and fierce, you will not have true love!"


    Joanna didn''t know that An Feng had made up so many plots in his own brain, and he was almost able to make up a copycat version of the Phantom of the Opera... She couldn''t deny An Feng''s comment: "Because the phantom (Phantom)''s heart is already distorted by hatred." , resentment towards society closes the soul, doomed not to love."


    An Feng shook his head: "If it wasn''t for the heroine who took off the Phantom''s mask out of curiosity, revealing half of his ugly face, and then he murdered the heroine, they would end up well. So the conclusion is to give each other privacy, not to My girl loses her temper, otherwise Gao Fushuai will take advantage of it."


    Joanna smiled: "Do you like the role of Phantom very much?"


    An Feng said: "I pity him for the pain he really loves, but he can''t get it in the end. It is true that he has done a lot of impulsive actions, killing and destroying her, but isn''t the starting point just because he likes the heroine? Look at his last To the confession of the heroine who is about to elope with Gao Fushuai, when he said the painful "I love you", it proves that loving someone can do crazy things."


    Joanna looked at him: "You too?"


    "Of course." An Feng turned his head and looked into her light brown eyes: "But I don''t need to be crazy, because I already have what I love."


    Joanna put her arms around his neck and kissed him affectionately: "I will always be yours."

 Chapter 113： Wheres your ring? 【fifth change】

    Chapter 113 Where is your ring? ��fifth change��


    (In fact, Chapter 116 at noon was originally planned to be a VIP chapter, but God is not good. There are five changes in total today. If you don��t admit it, you can only make it up tomorrow.)


    ��


    After appreciating a grand musical, I don��t know how much I have cultivated my sentiments, but I have lost a lot of integrity. An Feng wiped the lip marks on his mouth and thought the story was good, except that he was still not used to the rhythm of singing in the middle of speaking. He appreciates the plot very much, and the repertoire is also great, especially the duet between the Phantom and the heroine in the first act. It is said that it is the most popular play in theaters around Broadway, and it has been enduring for more than 20 years.


    An Feng is a little proud, it seems that he also has a bit of high-end style in his bones. I went back to the hotel with Joanna, and heard her talk about the future itinerary. This trip to the East has no purpose. It is basically for relaxation. It is up to the two of us to decide where we want to go and how long we want to play.


    "Let''s stay in New York for a few days first, there are a lot of things to do, visit the Metropolitan Museum, drive around the Brooklyn Bridge, or go to Central Park for lunch..." Joanna said enthusiastically, An Feng watched with a smile She, to be honest, this trip is mainly to make her happy.


    In addition, he was a little bit cautious, but he was always hesitating in his heart. He wanted to find a suitable opportunity to confess to her, commonly known as kneeling on one knee, but the idea suddenly came up, and he didn''t even prepare the ring, and they had only formally dated each other. A little more than a month... After much deliberation, I finally didn''t mention it.


    After enjoying breakfast in the hotel restaurant in the morning, walk around Central Park. Joanna is dressed in a morning gown, a light gray knee-length skirt with a slightly exposed back, and she pays attention to color matching. She wears an off-white spotted hat. Hats with various characteristics are the focus of British women''s competition, and their hat culture is prosperous.


    Walking on the tree-lined path, Joanna was holding his arm, walking with him sweetly, chatting casually. When you��re tired from walking, sit down on a bench under the shade of a tree in the park, and look at the large lawn illuminated by the sun in front of you, the pedestrians passing by comfortably, and the imposing high-rise buildings in the distance.


    Chatting, after a while, a group of young men and women came up on the grass in front of them. They took cloth mats and books in their hands, spread them out on the spot, and then took off their clothes without any hesitation. A small piece of cloth remains; some are the upper body, still wearing short skirts.


    Regardless of men or women, regardless of the eyes of passers-by, just lay down on the spot, read a book, or listen to music, and after a while, a group of people basking in the sun gathered. In addition to some men and women enjoying the sunshine comfortably, there are also some holding banners and writing some slogans of equality between men and women, but they are not emotional, mostly talking and laughing. An Feng glanced over and said casually, "Haha, we seem to have encountered a feminist organization."


    Joanna looked at it, and shook her head in displeasure: "Exposing **** in public = boobs, using propaganda slogans as an excuse to actually grandstanding, it''s boring."


    An Feng said: "Don''t mind, there are no beaches in Manhattan. You should understand their mentality of wanting to show their bodies."


    "Don''t keep staring at them." Joanna turned his head, "Just look at me."


    An Feng smiled: "Girl, you are too domineering."


    Joanna pouted: "This is my privilege, and I will reward you."


    An Feng kissed her and asked with a smile, "What''s the reward?"


    Joanna pretended to be mysterious: "I won''t tell you yet!"


    "You really don''t want to tell me?" An Feng said.


    "Don''t say." Joanna shook her head firmly.


    In the afternoon, I went to drink tea when I was bored. The two of them are very energy-consuming, and they chose a high-end place, which is elegant and quiet. It''s casual, go to the Metropolitan Museum, drive across the Brooklyn Bridge on a whim.


    In the steel city of New York, when others go to and from get off work in a hurry, they play leisurely. Later, I felt that this was too exciting to force white-collar workers, so I set off to leave New York and head to the next stop randomly selected, which is located in Florida, the southern tip of the United States, and the beautiful Miami.


    Miami Beach is a world-renowned beach and tourist destination. There is a saying that the west of the United States is the most beautiful along Highway 1, while the east is Miami with its invincible scenery. It was a scorching summer day after arriving, and both An Feng and Joanna put on cool summer clothes.


    An Feng has a short-sleeved white T-shirt and cropped pants. He has a strong figure, and he can wear a simple white T-shirt with the style of a tough guy. Joanna still mainly wears dresses, but they are much more casual. Compared to her, she is more civilian. She wears a gauze-like black high-waisted long dress, her hair is tied up, and sunglasses are stuck on her face. She is dressed like An Feng. flip flops, walking aimlessly on the sidewalk hand in hand.


    Without the congestion and hustle and bustle of New York, what was left was leisurely pace and relaxed mood. The two immersed themselves in the city with the relaxation and nature of a holiday, took pictures, took photos, and even rented a yacht to go out to sea and chase the sunset. , to drive away the waves... Occasionally, I tried food in a different way in the restaurant. In the truly worry-free time, the concept of time became blurred, leaving only laughter and laughter.


    On a sunny afternoon with a moderate temperature, the two left the restaurant. They had just had a full meal, drank a lot of red wine, and were slightly drunk. They walked along the beach. It was a long road with no end in sight. Joanna took his hand and fell behind, abandoning her ladylike demeanor and coquettishly saying: "I can''t move anymore!"


    An Feng looked at her, and between finding a place to sit and walking with her on his back, he chose the latter: "Then I''ll carry you?"


    "Okay." She smiled.


    correct answer.


    An Feng carried her behind his back, holding her thighs wrapped in skirts, and strolled on the beach. The passers-by gave their blessings and friendly smiles, and An Feng also smiled and nodded to each other. Joanna put her arms around his neck, looking at the blue sea and blue sky beside her.


    "Look there, it''s such a big cruise ship!" Joanna whispered, pointing to a giant cruise ship slowly approaching in the distance.


    "The Charm of the Sea." An Feng looked up and recognized this famous cruise ship. The Charm of the Sea and the Oasis of the Sea are the largest cruise ships in the world, with a length of 361 meters, a width of 66 meters, a water surface height of 72 meters, and 16 The second deck, called a sea palace, has a displacement of 225,000 tons.


    What is the concept of 225,000 tons? The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier of the US military has a displacement of 100,000 tons. This guy is 2.25 times that of the US aircraft carrier. If the two ships are put together, the aircraft carrier is just a small one. The giant cruise ship is magnificent and majestic. Joanna looked enviously: "I really want to go on a trip around the Caribbean."


    An Feng stopped in his tracks: "Then shall we board the boat tomorrow?"


    Joanna shook her head: "No, you have to think about it, and you will be more eager. And traveling around the Caribbean requires visas from multiple countries, and the time is too late."


    An Feng knew that she was referring to herself, because British passports are visa-free for several countries on the way. Only Chinese passports need to go to the consulate to obtain visas one by one. An Feng shook his head, looking at the Charm of the Ocean, he felt that it was a pity that he was not able to board the largest cruise ship in the world.


    But Joanna lowered her head and kissed him on the cheek: "You are so kind to me."


    "It should be." An Feng said with a smile, "Then I will build you a cruise ship as big as it, no, bigger than it, okay?"


    "Really?" Joanna laughed.


    An Feng put her down, pulled her forward, and appreciated the magnificence of the cruise ship: "Of course it''s true, it''s my wedding gift to you."


    Joanna blushed and whispered, "But you haven''t..."


    An Feng turned his head and saw her shy and lovely woman''s posture, his heart was thumped, and maybe he was also stimulated by a little bit of alcohol. He took a step forward and knelt down on one knee: "Joanna, although we have not officially dated for a short time, but From the bottom of my heart, I feel like I can''t leave you anymore."


    Joanna covered her mouth and whispered, her heart beating wildly, not even knowing that the wind had blown away the hat on her head.


    An Feng looked up at her affectionately: "Will you marry me?"


    "Yeah." Joanna nodded, and then said in a crying voice: "But, but where is your ring?"


    An Feng blushed, but reacted quickly: "As long as you want, I can buy that jewelry store on the street and give it to you right now!"


    He raised his hand and pointed, and there happened to be a jewelry store not far from the street.

 Chapter 114： confessed

    Chapter 114 confessed


    It was the first day of August when the two returned to Paso Robles.


    After getting off the helicopter, An Feng said hello to his family members whom he had not seen for a while, and then drove Joanna back. On the way, they were discussing how to speak frankly, and An Feng gave some advice, but how to grasp it was still in her hands. Joanna turned her head and asked, "They''ll understand, right?"


    "Don''t add a questioning tone." An Feng smiled, "Have confidence in us."


    Joanna nodded, but within a minute, she began to talk to herself nervously: "It''s so messy, does my condition look bad?"


    An Feng comforted her: "Relax, or I''ll just go up and confess."


    "No!" Joanna shook her head, "Let me do it."


    An Feng drove very slowly, but still stopped at the entrance of Sassen Winery after 20 minutes. Joanna''s nervousness had disappeared, replaced by a sense of indifference. An Feng admired it. The education she received since she was a child has played a role. It is necessary to deal with things calmly and not to be surprised. If I hadn''t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that this calm-faced girl was so nervous just now. like a child.


    "Kiss me." Joanna needed encouragement.


    An Feng kissed her on the cheek, then asked her to get off the car in a very gentlemanly manner, and helped her carry her luggage inside. An Feng said hello to Kelly, who lives at home, but declined her offer to stay and drink tea, and left politely, giving the space to their family. When Joanna confesses, she has her own plan, An Feng can only follow, take every step, anyway, the raw rice has been cooked.


    ��


    Back home, lie down on the bed comfortably, even if you play all day, you will be tired.


    Sleep until dinner time, only to be woken up by the girl Xiaoyu. When she opened her eyes and saw her chubby face, she had many questions: "Uncle, where did you go to play? Uncle, why didn''t you take me? Is sister Xiao Qiao your girlfriend? Why do you smell of perfume? Do you have something to eat?..."


    "Little girl! Why do you think I am a hundred thousand?" An Feng pinched her face, got up with a smile, yawned and stretched.


    "Uncle, you haven''t answered yet?" Xiaoyu leaned against the bed, staring at him with big shiny black eyes.


    "Wait for uncle to eat first, and then answer you when he has strength?" An Feng hugged the little **** his lap, tickling her.


    The two of them fought all the way downstairs, An Feng carried her back to the dining room, put the girl who looked like a talking machine on a chair, sat by himself, interrupted her, and said maliciously: "Little girl, uncle is not here In those days, have you been invited by your mother to eat ''stir-fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots''?"


    "It''s not like you! Being spanked by grandma, crying all over the yard and running to find grandma!" Xiaoyu grimaced.


    An Feng''s face turned black, who told the child such a thing?


    The little girl ignored him and counted her fingers: "I had a great time with Mia, Andy, and Harvey. We also went to Disney together, and Mom and Dad are here too."


    "I''m so envious!" An Feng showed the effect that the little girl needs.


    The elder sister who served the dishes said with a smile: "She has been pestering her to go out for a long time. It just so happened that the parents of my friends also planned to travel, so there were so many people that they got together. Let alone, I have only heard of that place. I��ve seen it, I didn��t think there was anything before I went in, and even adults can be addicted to it.��


    "I''ve known this effect for a long time. The last time my parents went there, I was like a child." After An Feng finished speaking, he grabbed a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth.


    Xiaoyu saw it, and also yelled: "Uncle, I want to eat too!"


    Sister patted her outstretched hand: "Wash your hands! And uncle is not afraid of getting dirty, his stomach is full of bugs, do you want to do the same?"


    The little girl shook her head.


    "Why do you always use me as a counterexample to educate your children?" An Feng complained, at least he has a tall image.


    The brother-in-law who came over said: "Your negative example impresses the children the most. Today''s children are very clever. They don''t believe what we say, and they learn to talk back. It''s not like when we were young, a piece of ice cream could do it." I''m so fascinated that you can''t find the north."


    An Feng smiled: "At that time there were few entertainment items, stupid, a few small stones can play for an afternoon, and now all children can use mobile phones, tablets to surf the Internet, have a lot of knowledge, it is normal to be smarter than us when we were young. I am afraid that in the The next generation will develop to a level that is unacceptable to us."


    Children born in the 1980s can play very monotonously. At that time, there was a little bully who was the absolute king of children. Now it is different. The carefree child king is gradually eliminated by various cram schools. It seems that the ones that come out are all on the assembly line. Smart children who "can play the piano", "can dance", and "can speak English".


    Another stir-fried beef with green peppers was served on the table, greedy An Feng grabbed it with his hands again, his sister patted his paw, and scolded: "Why are you acting like a child!"


    An Feng withdrew his claws and smiled: "It smells so good!"


    "Chopsticks!" My sister handed him the chopsticks, An Feng caught them and asked, "Hey, where''s the big guy?"


    Sister said: "You mean Gu Li? He drove out a few days ago. I heard that it seems to be a large court of some kind. It will take some time to come back."


    "Oh, that took a long time." An Feng nodded, picked up the chopsticks to pick up vegetables. Everyone chatted while eating, and the brother-in-law talked about the recent things in the vineyard, but he learned something from the old John in the vineyard, and he was able to communicate at a slow speed after supplementing his non-marginal English. The elder sister has mastered spoken English at a normal speed to prepare for life after the emigration, and they also talked about work.


    After hearing this, An Feng curled his lips: "What kind of job are you looking for? Just stay in the vineyard. I will give you a general manager, and let you manage the garden. After the income is deducted and the expenses are spent, the profits are distributed freely. Although it is not a big deal Winery, but earning more than office workers is a must.��


    Sister has her reasons: "The garden is for you to live in. Besides, after you marry a wife, this is real estate. It is not appropriate for us to live here."


    "Ouch! Why are you thinking so much about it? I''m only staying here temporarily." An Feng pouted, and he already had plans in his mind to buy land and build a house. Building a castle is not a trivial matter, and the vineyard naturally needs people to manage it.


    My sister has a different idea: "At least let''s get used to the rhythm of working here first. I think this way can better integrate into the local life."


    Brother-in-law also agreed: "It is indeed the case. Start small and accumulate experience."


    An Feng chewed the beef nonchalantly: "Whatever, then go to work in the research center, be a white-collar worker and commute to the head office on time, right?"


    Sister said: "That''s a good idea."


    "Who am I!" An Feng proudly stretched out his hand to pick up vegetables, and everyone''s eyes suddenly focused on his right ring finger, where there was a ring.


    An Feng withdrew his hand, saw their eyes, then looked at his ring, and blocked it: "This is an illusion."


    The little girl called out: "Uncle, are you married?"


    "Cough, cough, cough!" An Feng coughed again and again, saying that children''s words are innocent, but this really made the little girl guess right! Careless, after registering with Joanna, I bought a ring in Las Vegas, no diamonds, very low-key pair of rings, but I got used to wearing them, and forgot to take them off when I got home, accidentally exposing the bird.


    Everyone''s interest is focused on him.


    An Feng wiped his mouth with a napkin, and faced everyone''s gazes: "Would you believe me if I said it was just worn for fun?"


    Everyone shook their heads in unison, and the little girl shook her head sharply.


    "Okay." An Feng raised his hands in surrender, "Yes, the marriage has indeed been settled, and it''s with Joanna, bless me!"


    "Really?" The brother-in-law was surprised.


    "It''s worth celebrating!" My sister responded quickly, and came first to congratulate, and my brother-in-law was also busy following up with congratulations.


    "When did it happen?" Everyone asked together.


    An Feng thought for a while: "About July 20th, after our east tour ended, I ran to Las Vegas to register on a whim."


    "Are you legally married?" my sister asked.


    An Feng nodded: "Of course, the bilateral notarization has been obtained, and it is legal in China."


    "I have to tell my parents!" My sister said with a smile.


    "Keep a low profile!" An Feng hurriedly stopped her from taking the phone, "Joanna is not ready to tell her family, you don''t want to do something bad��it''s broken!"


    An Feng slapped his thigh, and hurriedly found his mobile phone to dial Joanna''s number. If he remembered correctly, she was wearing a ring and did not take it off. In case... the phone connected after a few rings, An Feng hurriedly asked: " Hi Joanna, is it convenient for you to talk now?"


    "I was about to call you!" Joanna said, sounding excited. "Honey! I just confessed to Mom!"


    "Huh?" An Feng was a little too late to react, "Did you expose the ring?"


    "The ring? Did I put it away? What''s going on?" Joanna was puzzled.


    "It''s okay, just tell me." An Feng said.


    "I just said it directly after dinner. Anyway, my mother also knows that I made friends with you. She has a good impression of you. In addition, we have been traveling for so long. Even a fool knows what will happen. It was expected, but she still gave us her blessing."


    An Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn''t expect him to be nervous. He said, "It''s great, I mean, my side knows it too, and they bless us too."


    "I''m so happy!" Joanna said. You can imagine how happy she is now. An Feng returned her sister''s mobile phone to her, so feel free to call this time.


    Joanna said again: "Frank invites you to come over for dinner tomorrow night."


    "Huh?" An Feng was taken aback again. The legendary meeting with the father-in-law?


    "Haha." Joanna''s crisp laughter came from the other end, "Are you scared?"


    "I won''t be afraid!" An Feng said, "When will it start, right?"


    "Starting at eight o''clock, um, it''s best to wear formal clothes to look more serious." Joanna said.


    "Okay, I will definitely be there on time." An Feng said.


    "Love you!" Joanna kissed.


    "Love you!" An Feng said, "Goodbye."


    Putting down his phone, An Feng, who claimed he wouldn''t be afraid, looked at everyone: "It''s over, it''s over! I''m going to see my parents!"

 Chapter 115： Chapter 124 An Uneasy Meeting [Fourth Update]

    Chapter 115 Chapter 124 An anxious meeting [fourth update]


    After saying goodnight to Joanna on the phone at night, An Feng lay on the bed, tossing and turning but couldn''t fall asleep. He was definitely nervous, and after taking a nap in the afternoon, he was now full of energy. He was playing with his mobile phone and wanted to call Joanna , but considering that she should be asleep at this time, she gave up this idea.


    Get up when you can''t fall asleep again, turn on your laptop, and browse your mailbox. Recently, I have been immersed in the world of two people, and I haven''t paid much attention to what happened. After opening the mailbox, there was a pile of emails as expected. He screened some content and clicked on the letter sent to him by his assistant John.


    It��s all about the progress of the transfer of Tailan. After reading a few reports, the invitation to the giant has already ended, and it is currently in intense negotiations. Everyone is interested, but there is a lot of disagreement about the price. Too high is inevitable. The transfer price of tens of billions is still too risky when the fertilizer effect is first shown.


    But it��s coming soon. It��s the beginning of August now. According to the growth pattern of crops, we can harvest in another month. Even soybeans and other plants are harvested in mid-September, and corn can be harvested earlier. If the weather is suitable, they can be harvested in September. , and Tailan''s fertilizer has a certain growth-promoting effect, not only increases the yield, but also speeds up the growth rate. The end of August and the beginning of September are the most suitable.


    I searched for some agricultural reports on the Internet, and the most common one is this year''s climate problem. The drought and high temperature have caused many crops to decrease, and they have also increased the expenditure on water resources for farmers. It is almost miserable. And the corresponding mention is Tailan''s black technology-now the media likes to use exaggerated words to attract attention, and the Internet is no exception. Even local governments are encouraging farmers to choose new measures.


    Although the official did not specify which brand it is, almost everyone knows that it is Tailan''s agricultural fertilizer.


    I saw a news report on "The Pride of the Farmer". In a large cornfield full of fruits, the farmer held the corn with a "Khrushchev" smile on his face.


    An Feng smiled. He had expected this to be the case. The legend about absorbing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium under two meters is not a joke... In addition, he has also learned about some market conditions. However, due to cost constraints, the profit is not high. Legg Mason only has more than two billion yuan a year. The sales of several giants add up to nearly one hundred billion yuan, but the profit is less than one-tenth, which is a bit pitiful.


    According to the simplest calculation, Tailan''s black technology is fully capable of implementing a technological monopoly. It can steal the market of the giants. In conversion, the annual net profit is also 5 billion, and with the lowest transfer price of Anfeng, the top The cost can be recovered for two more years, and then the profit will continue all the way...


    Of course that is an ideal value. The reality is that it might push the opponent into a hurry, and you will face an anti-monopoly lawsuit... But this is not related to Anfeng. What''s the problem, isn''t that the relationship between AMD and Intel? Legend has it that their shareholders wear a pair of trousers.


    Then another email came from Wang Wei, a domestic cooperator. He mentioned the issue of authorization, because the effect was very good, and he wanted An Feng to sign for a few more years. As for the price, it was negotiable.


    An Feng has forgotten about it, but Tai Lan is about to transfer... It doesn''t mean that he can''t be authorized, because he is still the boss, why don''t he take advantage of the last one to make a fortune?


    ��


    The next day was fine as usual.


    Joanna didn''t come, but An Feng talked with her on the phone, as if he was preparing for the evening. After riding a horse in the morning, he started preparing for what to wear in the evening when he got home in the afternoon. He changed several styles in a row, and he always felt Either too rigid or too stiff, and finally settled on a no tuxedo, with a shirt underneath, not a work shirt, of course, but a dress shirt, something with pleats, and a bow tie.


    Standing in front of the mirror, An Feng encouraged himself. In fact, there is nothing to worry about. It is not the first time that Frank and Kelly have met. Before they established a relationship with Joanna, An Feng and Frank were like good friends. They could talk about everything, drink together, and eat barbecue... To say yes , in fact, people on both sides have known each other for a long time. At most, their identities have been changed to parents, and An Feng is his son-in-law.


    When I drove to the destination in the evening, I was invited in by Kelly. Her dress was not too solemn, maybe because she didn''t want to create a tense atmosphere, a simple dress just below the knee, wearing jewelry, elegant and generous, presumably the former countess This character was also passed on to her daughter.


    Kelly smiled and asked him to sit down: "Please sit down, you are a little early."


    "Be early." An Feng said, "I won''t be late."


    "That''s right." Kelly nodded, An Feng had figured it out a long time ago, the old-fashioned British hate being late the most, so they don''t care what your reasons are.


    "Frank went to get some red wine from the wine cellar, please forgive me." Kelly said.


    "It doesn''t matter, it''s my honor to taste the fine wine." An Feng said.


    Chatting with Kelly is quite easy. Maybe she is of Chinese mixed race, and she looks more friendly. From her face, some shadows of Chinese descent can be seen, with black hair and light brown eyes. Her daughter Joanna has downplayed these features , especially the blond hair inherited from his father.


    The pure blond race is disappearing and is gradually being replaced by other hair colors, and only a small amount exists in the Nordic region. Because blond hair is a recessive inheritance, both parents are required to have the recessive gene of blond hair, which can be achieved through a small probability of matching . So it is impossible for An Feng to want a cute blonde girl.


    After thinking about it for a while, Frank also arrived and greeted each other with An Feng, but both of them felt a little awkward, maybe they were not used to playing new roles, they were friends before, and suddenly developed into a daughter��s boyfriend, and then became a daughter��s husband in a second jump , this speed is indeed unresponsive.


    A few minutes later, Joanna went downstairs. She was dressed very eye-catchingly. She wore an ankle-length sling dress, shawl hair, and shiny jewelry. She walked towards everyone with a smile on her face. There was a touch of dignified lady, An Feng praised her, and then everyone sat down.


    The formal dinner was a bit solemn, but fortunately, everyone deliberately adjusted the atmosphere, chatting about some interesting topics and knowledge during the meal, and the atmosphere was still very harmonious. An Feng gradually got used to this rhythm, there is no way, the daughter is mine now, even if the sky falls, I can''t change it.


    After dessert was served, Frank shifted the topic to them: "According to what Joanna said, are you planning to re-organize a wedding?"


    An Feng put down the knife and fork, and nodded: "Yes, the process last time was too hasty - please forgive us for not being able to help - but I think we must give her a good process and memories, marriage is a major event for both parties, whether it is The customs of the East and the West cannot do without grandeur."


    Both Frank and Kelly nodded, apparently satisfied with An Feng''s answer. Frank asked again: "Have you considered that Joanna still needs to go to school for further study? What do you think about it?"


    An Feng said: "Of course, it depends on her intention. If she is willing to seek knowledge, I will fully agree and will not let her choice burden her."


    They nodded again, An Feng heaved a sigh of relief, and secretly glanced at Joanna, who was listening with a smile. Frank said again: "In your human creation plan, I have a suggestion-"


    "Ahem!" Kelly said, "This should be considered by the children."


    Frank smiled awkwardly, the topic was indeed a little ahead of schedule.


    Joanna said, "It doesn''t matter, I will refer to your opinions."


    Frank smiled and said: "Actually, I don''t recommend doing this kind of plan when you are still in school. It will affect all aspects of life and study, and Joanna is still young. From a scientific point of view, the best childbearing age for women Duan is around twenty-six or seventeen years old. Well, do you understand?"


    "Yes, I know." An Feng nodded with a smile, "Don''t worry about this, we will carefully consider this matter and respect her opinion."


    Frank thought about it, and when he wanted to say something more, Kelly said: "Okay, don''t you see that they are so nervous that they can''t even eat?"


    Frank laughed: "It''s my fault!"


    It��s true that An Feng is sweating on his back. Although the question is simple, when facing parents�� questions, every word needs to be careful, and you really can��t make mistakes... After Kelly��s words came out, the tension disappeared, and Frank smiled and raised his glass : "Please allow me to wish you happiness and happiness forever!"


    The topic after the meal was much easier. In fact, leaving aside the worry about their children, An Feng expressed that they were satisfied in all aspects. In the past, An Feng gave them the impression that he was serious and rigorous, but he did not lack enthusiasm for life. Unlike those Chinese who were always bored, he was very good at integrating into life. And getting along well with Frank, chatting about red wine, playing hunting, I really can''t think of any dissatisfaction.


    As for the issue of age, foreigners don��t pay much attention to it, and the five-year-old gap is not too big, there is no generation gap. If the man is older, he has a mature personality, just enough to spoil the woman.


    And An Feng is a model of loving his wife... After the dinner, the two sides chatted for a while, and then An Feng left. Of course, this time he took Joanna away. They are already a legal couple, and there is no need to continue to separate the two places. How can Frank and Kelly, who have both been here, not understand? It''s true that I can''t wait to stick together all day. So they understood very well, and Kelly specially pulled Joanna to tell her some things.


    On the way back, An Feng asked curiously, "What did your mother just say?"


    "I won''t tell you." She shook her head.


    "Really don''t tell me?" An Feng kept a straight face on purpose.


    Joanna smiled: "You look really angry. She said that in terms of **** = life, we should pay attention to restraint, and feelings are invested by both parties..."


    An Feng listened to some, smiled and said: "Thank her for me, but I will make her daughter happy!"


    "I know!" Joanna leaned forward and kissed him.


    Brought the real wife home, everyone welcomed them grandly, and opened champagne to celebrate them. The atmosphere was much more relaxed than before, because there were no parents present. After Joanna changed into casual clothes, she quarreled with them all night, and everyone sang and danced to celebrate the two going to the grave.

    PS: The fourth watch is presented, which means that both hands are useless, and the weak ones ask for a ticket at the end. .

 Chapter 116： sudden threat

    Chapter 116 The Sudden Threat


    The period after marriage is not sweet. Apart from showing off their affection, they are still busy looking through the calendar and choosing a date. Now that we decided to have a grand wedding, we had to choose a day when everyone was free, but after much consideration, we couldn''t get together in terms of time and place.


    "The countries are different, and we can''t call everyone at once." Joanna said.


    "Then come in two sessions?" An Feng suggested, "One time here, one time back to China, and you can have two styles of addiction!"


    Joanna listened and asked curiously: "Chinese wedding? I don''t know what it would be like if I changed into a traditional bridal dress?"


    An Feng shrugged: "Now they are imitating the West, there are not so many rules, but you can try Tang suits, that is, cheongsams, which represent traditional culture."


    "Cheongsam?" Joanna thought for a while, "Is it the kind of silk dress with slit legs?"


    An Feng nodded: "That''s it."


    "I''ve seen it before, it looks so beautiful, I want to wear it." Joanna said longingly.


    An Feng said with a smile: "Your figure is more perfect if you wear it tighter, so choose it temporarily. What about other things? Western-style wedding dresses, jewelry, etc.?"


    "Use old ones." Joanna said without hesitation, "There are customs of old, new, borrowed, and blue in weddings. Old ones refer to the wedding dresses, jewelry, and veils that have been handed down. They represent everything that is beautiful. And my grandmother just left me two of the best sets, which will last a lifetime.��


    An Feng took a pen and ticked off a few items on the paper: "As you said, the next step is..."


    There are still many projects, and considering the issue of visas, it is most convenient to apply separately in the two places. In the United States, I invite some good friends from China to come over, and the rest come back to China and get together again. Then there is the date, it shouldn��t be too early, you have to give people time to prepare, and it shouldn��t be too late, it will appear insincere.


    It was finally scheduled for October. Taking advantage of the long holiday in China and the weekend in the United States, the shuttle between the two places just happened to be completed within the holiday, and then it was declared perfect in terms of law and form, and we walked together on the road of life... It would be beautiful to think about it, of course Happiness needs financial support, and An Feng is the least worried about this.


    He has no money? Hahaha, the negotiated price has been pushed down to more than 10 billion by many parties. The giants have learned the power of advanced technology, whether it is in the sample test or the actual planting effect. I don''t even want to drink soup.


    So the agricultural giants from Asia, North America, and Europe gathered together to push down the price. Unfortunately, the representatives sent by the Sinclair family refused to make any progress and insisted on 20 billion without making concessions. At present, it is just talking all day long, you come and go, but there is not much actual progress.


    With the countdown of the corn harvest season, the transfer price will be like a rising stock. The stronger the effect of the fertilizer, the higher its own value will be. It is the most cost-effective to buy while the current low price. It''s a pity that they are cunning, and the negotiating team representing An Feng and the Sinclair family is not stupid.


    Things went smoothly, and the negotiated price had already reached An Feng''s psychological bottom line. Even now, he had settled on seven billion for the immediate transaction, but the negotiating team was obviously not satisfied with the price of ten billion. After all, the Sinclair family could share 30% of the transaction price, so the higher the better for each other.


    Until a strange call appeared.


    The phone rang, An Feng picked it up to answer: "Hello?"


    "Hello, Mr. An." An unfamiliar man''s low voice came on the phone. An Feng recalled it, but had no impression of this voice.


    "Who are you?" An Feng asked naturally.


    "You don''t need to know who I am, Mr. An, you just need to know that we know you and know you."


    "Are you crazy?" An Feng said directly.


    The other party was obviously stunned, and said in a more ruthless tone two seconds later: "Mr. An, I don''t think this is funny. We called you this time as a very sincere act, which shows that we still have the possibility of cooperation, everyone. I don��t even want it to turn into a tragedy in the end, what do you think?��


    "Haha, are you threatening me?" An Feng said with a smile.


    "It''s not a threat, I just hope that our cooperation can be straightforward and smooth." The other party said a little proudly.


    An Feng said calmly: "Okay, tell me what you want to do?"


    The other party said: "Very well, calm down, it is beneficial to both of us."


    An Feng said: "Of course, I am a businessman, and I pursue harmony to make money."


    "We hope that in the negotiation of Tailan Company, you will stop appropriately. This is your knowledge creation, and we respect it, but the price you want exceeds the limit of what you can enjoy. You know that in some things, not all You can play around with integrity..."


    An Feng sat on the sofa, listened to his mobile phone, and picked up the cordless phone to dial the number. After the other party chattered a lot, he pressed the receiver and said to the connected phone: "Don''t talk, just listen!"


    After finishing speaking, An Feng turned on the hands-free function of the phone and said, "You mean, the price of transferring Tailan must be changed according to your requirements?"


    "You can say that." The other party said.


    "Who are you?" An Feng asked coldly.


    "You don''t need to know." The other said.


    "How do I know if you''re kidding me?" An Feng asked with a smile.


    "Let''s put it this way, Mr. Ann, we''re watching you and know that you live on a vineyard in Paso Robles, have relatives of your own, and a lovely little girl. Also, your girlfriend is apparently with you Live very close, and you have a big thug at home..."


    An Feng frowned while listening, obviously the other party knew him, but not deep enough, for example, his girlfriend is now a wife, or Gu Li is not a thug but a bodyguard, and he was trained by a top school, they obviously underestimated Gu Li, did not count his quality.


    "Enough!" An Feng stopped the other party, pretending to be emotional, "Don''t try to hurt my family!"


    "Don''t worry, as long as you cooperate, Mr. An, we have no intention of hurting anyone." The other party said calmly, obviously An Feng''s performance met the requirements.


    "Tell me, who do I need to compromise with?" An Feng asked urgently.


    The other party did not give an answer: "We will notify you in another way, please pay attention to everything around you, and call after you know it. Of course, don''t try to call the police or take other acts of resistance, you know these The trick is ridiculous in front of us."


    After speaking, the phone hung up.


    "Hung up." An Feng said to the landline on the table.


    Matthew Sinclair''s voice came: "Don''t worry, I''ll immediately arrange the security forces around you, and at the same time launch an investigation to ensure maximum safety. If it''s not necessary, don''t go out frequently these days. Check it later Email, I''ll send you a letter from the security director."


    "You screwed up." An Feng said a little angrily, the trouble actually came to him.


    "I''m sorry, it was our negligence, but I promise that nothing will happen next, and I will give you an explanation as soon as possible."


    "I hope so!" An Feng said.


    "Don''t worry, if there is any change, please contact me at any time." Matthew said.


    An Feng hung up the phone, and Joanna, who was wearing yoga clothes, came out of the gym and saw An Feng sitting on the sofa in a daze, with his arms around his neck from behind: "Hi, dear, what are you thinking?"


    An Feng turned around and kissed her: "It''s nothing, I miss you. Well, and your upturned butt, so beautiful!"


    "No seriousness!" Joanna scolded coquettishly, "How about we go to Los Angeles to eat Italian food tonight?"


    "Well, good. But I really want to taste your handicraft tonight." An Feng touched her hand, "Can you make it for me, and let me light candles?"


    "Well, you''re lucky." Joanna smiled and went to check the kitchen with satisfaction.


    Later, An Feng received a courier.


    After signing his name, he opened the letter, and there was only a piece of paper inside, with "Monsanto" written in green letters on the top, followed by some introductions of genetically modified seeds, which looked like promotional letters and should be put in the trash of. However, who sells only one piece of paper?


    "Monsanto?" An Feng thought of the call in the afternoon and understood the meaning.


    He explained this discovery to Matthew on the phone. Matthew said that he would deal with it immediately. The security team assigned to him will arrive before 8:00 tonight and will be responsible for the safety of him and his relatives around the clock, so that he does not need to worry. So... An Feng informed Gu Li of the situation afterwards.


    Guri has passed the asylum judgment and officially obtained a green card. After hearing about An Feng''s troubles, he said that he would immediately enter a state of high alert.


    He said: "Don''t worry, I have already scouted this garden, and there is no one around, and all the people who come and go are acquaintances, and strange faces cannot be hidden."


    He opened the toolbox and took out a building plan: "Your position is at a high place, which is very advantageous. It is almost impossible to attack by force. You only need to arrange guards on the roof, rooftop, etc., and the high-precision sniper rifle in your hand and Enough bullets, this is the natural enemy of infiltrators! Unless the other party is coming with an infantry vehicle or a helicopter gunship, you can live here for three to five years with peace of mind."


    "In addition to these, I also prepared emergency tools such as bulletproof vests and gas masks. From now on, don''t drink tap water, and buy mineral water as soon as possible. In addition, it is not recommended to go out. If you really want to go out, you can''t take a car. You have a helicopter. , it is the best choice for traveling, and the plane in the air is the least likely to encounter threats. If there is another group of security teams to assist, the security guard will be perfect!"


    Guli said enthusiastically, as if he had finally encountered something that challenged him: "Night is the most important part. In order to prevent night raids, the hounds I trained for you will come in handy, but this is secondary. Next I will install a set of simple infrared and sound wave detection equipment around, as long as there is an outsider, call the police immediately. And, you prepare your weapons and change rooms."


    An Feng listened to a lot of Guli''s doomsday education, and said speechlessly: "Don''t make people panic, they haven''t torn my face yet, they don''t need to hurt me now."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 117： unequal showdown

    Chapter 117 Unequal Showdown


    At eight o''clock in the evening, the professional security team arranged by Matthew arrived.


    The leader is a middle-aged man named "Simon". He is serious and earnest. He analyzed the current situation and minimized An Feng''s chances of being in distress, that is, he would hardly encounter any accidents under the circumstances of actively cooperating with the other party. Therefore, the current security is mainly based on concealment.


    Currently, there are five special agents and 20 field agents in charge of this matter, and the rest are under intense deployment. Simon once served as a security officer for a certain candidate, and he is of high quality and strength. It can be seen that Matthew is serious about this matter. Although his tone has always been flat, he will never be polite to this kind of person who dares to hinder him from making money.


    After Guli communicated with the other party, they left four people, three men and one woman, and the rest stayed in the city and acted separately. One part scouted the surrounding terrain, and the other part cooperated with the police. Although Johnson didn''t know their purpose, the city The cooperation of the police is required.


    The four secret agents lived in the name of An Feng''s friends, and they also mentioned their status as security experts, saying that they wanted to help install some burglar alarms... Everyone knows that An Feng has a lot of friends, and seeing that Gu Li and them get along very well, There was no doubt that their loitering around the house was considered a favor.


    In less than an hour, Anfeng''s house was covered with infrared and motion detectors, which were turned on at a certain time, and an alarm would sound as long as someone approached.


    ��


    An Feng handed over his mobile phone, and Simon took out the SIM card and used it on another mobile phone, telling him: "This mobile phone has built-in anti-eavesdropping and active tracking software, and there are two sets of locators. You''d better keep using it until the threat is neutralized."


    An Feng held it in his hand and looked at it. It was bigger than ordinary mobile phones, and the brand he had never seen before. Seeing his curiosity, Guli explained: "This is a specially customized encrypted mobile phone. You can write your own needs. There is a built-in tool that can change the number of the phone, as well as software that changes the voice, which can be used for simple fraud, and the transmitter can be used as a satellite phone.��


    After listening to Guli''s words, Simon smiled: "You know a lot, but the computer experts of the secret service team really work, by connecting the built-in chip of the mobile phone, performing interference or virus implantation, remote eavesdropping, base station positioning and other work, These tracking and anti-tracking efforts rely on technology."


    "That means the equipment is better." Gu Li explained to An Feng.


    Simon is not angry: "Just because of this, let us be famous in the industry, buddy! For security, the hardware level must be strong!"


    An Feng knew why Gu Li was like this, because there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Although Gu Li is not high-profile, he has always been proud of being in a top school. He has extensive knowledge in the field of security. Unfortunately, An Feng is just a low-key rich man, not The president is frightened every step of the way, he can''t show his strength.


    ��


    An Feng slept soundly at night. There are so many experts in the room. If something really happened, he would admit it. But these worries are unnecessary. He just said to the other party that he would actively cooperate, unless the other party''s head was caught by the door, he would do things that would cause trouble for him.


    Also in order not to worry his family, he didn''t tell them anything.


    The next day, when the technical team was in place, Simon said: "We need to carry out technical positioning, and try to procrastinate as long as possible."


    "Understood." An Feng started calling the other party.


    The phone rang a few times and connected, but the other party didn''t speak, so An Feng spoke first: "I know who you represent."


    "I''m glad you called, Mr. Ann."


    "Stop talking nonsense, and let those of you who can manage things come and talk to me." An Feng said boldly, there is no need to waste time with small things.


    "Wait a moment." The other party said.


    Technology group has two people staring at the computer, one of them is wearing a headset. Just now An Feng understood a little bit, one is trying to remotely implant a virus into the opponent''s mobile phone, if it is a smart phone, it will be tricked; the other is trying to turn on the GPS or use a mobile base station to perform triangulation.


    Security is only passive, taking the initiative to eliminate threats is the most rapid and proper defense.


    Ten seconds later, another voice came: "Hello, Mr. An."


    The voice is high-pitched, and through the distortion of the software, it can no longer be recognized as it was, and the other party still has a sense of defense. An Feng said, "Tell me about your conditions."


    "We hope to acquire 30% of Tailan''s shares in your hand for 4 billion." The other party was also straightforward enough to directly show his hole card.


    "Impossible." An Feng rebuffed straight away, "At present, everyone promised to give 10 billion, but you cut more than half of it casually. This business cannot be done."


    "This is not a negotiation." The other party said indifferently, "We just give you a topic for you to choose, and you can only choose to accept it or not."


    An Feng said: "I can accept it if you want, but you have to raise the price up."


    "I''ll say it for the last time, it''s impossible. Mr. An, the only thing you can do is accept, and we only need 30%." The other party said confidently.


    An Feng was annoyed: "Then I can''t agree, you are bullying too much!"


    The other party laughed: "It''s a pity that we can''t reach a reunification. Finally, I would like to remind you sincerely, be careful of the people around you, there are many accidents in the world."


    "I''m not afraid of you!" An Feng dragged the other party back, "I know what you guys want to do, as long as someone dares to do something to my relatives and friends, I will immediately transfer the shares to your competitors, and the monopoly technology will make you unable to look up for the rest of your life , let you go to decline and perish!"


    The other party smiled: "You want to threaten me instead, this is not a good idea."


    "Isn''t it, it''s not up to you to decide, give another price, 8 billion, we don''t need to tear our skins, we both lose, what do you think?" An Feng looked at the two technicians, reported the progress with Guli gestures, and quickly tracked them down , An Feng''s tone was angry, but his face was calm.


    "No, we are saying the same thing, 4 billion for 30%." The other party''s position is very firm, even if An Feng shows weakness, he has no intention of changing.


    An Feng took a deep breath: "Then come on, I''m not afraid of you!"


    "We''ll see." The other party said, and the phone was hung up.


    "Successful tracking!" A weak-looking technician said calmly, staring at the computer all the time: "They have some tricks, the mobile phone is equipped with an anti-eavesdropping device, the GPS is dismantled, and a fake base station is used. It took some time to crack it, but they The approximate location has been revealed..."


    An Feng couldn''t understand it at all. Non-professionals still don''t know how to find the opponent within a hundred or two hundred meters around the base station after a rough positioning.


    But this is not what he cares about. Apparently the security team thinks this is a very good breakthrough point. After some discussion, their plan came out.


    Simon said to An Feng: "Mr. An, now there is a quick solution to the trouble, of course there is a little risk, do you want to try it?"


    ��


    There is nothing to do with An Feng in the future. More support from the security team has arrived at the local area, and has scanned An Feng''s face, and used a 3D printer to create a silicone mask that is exactly like him. A security guard with a similar build The employee puts it on and prepares to drive his sports car out.


    What is An Feng doing? Riding leisurely with Joanna, what to do... This is Simon''s plan. He seemed to know the reason, or he was very confident in Matthew. He said that even if he broke his face, the other party would not hurt him easily, because it would anger Sinclair and the consequences would be serious.


    So An Feng has been very leisurely.


    ��


    Although they did not participate in the operation, according to Gu Li, they would pretend to be An Feng and drive out in a panic. On the one hand, they would lure snakes out of their holes, and on the other hand, they would use the data of the base station location to let the police who are familiar with the locals identify strange people in the city. people and make arrests.


    After wandering around for an afternoon, the news came: the target was captured.


    After An Feng heard the news, his only feeling was: Is this the end?


    I was so disappointed, I thought I could see some exciting spy battle scenes, but I saw the special agents sitting in the house all afternoon with coffee cups, chatting, making phone calls, and then the mission was completed. They will cooperate with the police to deal with it, and another group of people who were brought out by them...


    They all kept silent on the grounds of secrecy, but Gu Li knew exactly what to do: "To a certain extent, the pain that does not show traces cannot be used as evidence in court."


    An Feng understands, this is punishment.


    ��


    Talked to Matthew on the phone that night.


    Matthew said: "The security troubles on your side have been resolved. To be on the safe side, they will continue to stay around for a while. We will track down the people behind the scenes, but don''t worry, you won''t be involved. We have sent a special message, and if we think about it secretly Anyone who engages in tricks will have a hard time."


    An Feng said: "I''m not worried about this, I mean, what if it wasn''t done by Monsanto, what if it was a smoke bomb thrown by other opponents?"


    Matthew listened and said with a smile: "No... Sorry, it''s my fault. We used some discriminatory language against them during the negotiation, which may be too much."


    An Feng was curious: "What did you say that made people directly threaten me?"


    "Negotiation, it''s a bit of a prank. We exchanged customers one by one, and the price we offered might be a bit misunderstanding, and then the misunderstanding was not cleared up in time. The attitude of some people in our negotiating team is not very good. Without explaining that much����


    After all, An Feng was still very confused, but felt that the matter was caused by the negotiating team being too arrogant.


    And Matthew''s calm attitude further confirmed his guess.


    As for the result, those guys who were caught in the police station all had a criminal record. They used to do fraud work, and they were watched by the FBI for a long time. You will encounter a tyrannical security team, and the entire army will be wiped out in just two moves.


    An Feng feels a bit thunderous and rainy, how dare they play so loudly with such unequal power? Could it be that they are weak, but that they are too strong?


    Still puzzled, but things are about to end.


    It''s just a bit difficult to accuse this point, because there is no direct evidence, and a phone recording can''t prove anything, it can only show that those fraud gangs used Monsanto''s identity to cheat.


    When things were at an impasse, a senior executive of Monsanto was blasted out of the car window with a shotgun on his way home from get off work. He was fine because the gun was not aimed at people, but the senior executive peed in his crotch.


    After this incident, the trouble really came.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 118： The power behind the scenes [Third update]

    Chapter 118 The power behind the scenes [third update]


    The day after the shooting incident, a security supervisor under Matthew who was in charge of the incident received a letter at home, which was a boring advertisement, but the supervisor who kept his heart unexpectedly discovered that there was something extra on the letter paper, something out of it. Out of professional caution, he sent it for testing, and the report found it to be deadly ricin.


    Poison inside the envelope! The supervisor broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, it was only ricin and there were no wounds on his hands, otherwise it would be enough to kill him. Thinking about it further, what if it was replaced by anthrax, which is almost extinct? He is dead! After much deliberation, this is not murder, but a warning.


    He immediately called Matthew.


    Far away in New York, after Matthew received the call, his face was gloomy, as if the weather was about to rain. He has always been used to domineering, and he is rarely threatened like this. Although he did not directly target "Sinclair", everyone understands this kind of warning: tell your dogs to behave, or you will be in trouble.


    He called another assistant: "Have you found out the clues provided by Simon?"


    The assistant said: "Not yet."


    Matthew frowned: "I still don''t know who they are? What is their purpose?"


    "Investigating, I asked them to send more staff, it should be-"


    "Should?" Matthew was upset.


    The assistant said seriously: "I''ll send someone to deal with it, and find out as quickly as possible."


    "Go down!" Matthew waved his hand and shouted again: "Come back! Call the company''s security supervisor, now!"


    The assistant backed out cautiously, and Matthew rested his chin in thought. Of course, the matter was not as simple as he had promised An Feng. The guy who was following him was indeed caught, but Simon learned from them that there was another group of people, including the person who threatened him on the phone, and their whereabouts were even more strange.


    Although it is not known whether it is the killer or what is still hiding in the dark, the clues all point to Monsanto. The result was a shotgun smashed car window. Monsanto can''t afford to mess with Sinclair, but there are people behind them! After Matthew realized this, he realized that things were not so easy to pass.


    "The Hearst Group? These billions are not easy to get." Matthew''s plan to make money easily was destroyed, and the negotiation between the giants was calm on the surface, but in fact there was an undercurrent.


    Three minutes later.


    A tall security supervisor with a black suit who couldn''t hide his bulging muscles and an expressionless face knocked on the door and came in, and stood two meters in front of Matthew with his hands behind his back.


    "Rich, is there any other contractor who has taken up domestic business recently?" Matthew asked.


    The tower-like guy said: "There are generally no large groups in domestic affairs, and they are mainly small-scale. If necessary, they are contacted through international intermediaries."


    Matthew shook his head: "It''s not the purchasing head, I mean PMC."


    Rich said: "There are quite a few more, such as the three-leaf jungle and Dane International, but they have no business in China and only accept VIP customers."


    After thinking about it for a few seconds, Matthew raised a finger: "Contact them first to see if it is possible to provide a standardized military defense team in the near future, with a scale of tens or hundreds of people, the more the better. Also, take a peek and see if they are willing to accept private work..."


    Rich listened for a while, and finally nodded: "I''ll get in touch right away."


    ��


    An Feng received another call from Matthew the next day.


    Matthew told the truth, which is not good news. Although his life is still peaceful and leisurely, the transfer of technology involves the interests of too many people, especially when the negotiating team is playing around with others, the group behind the scenes is nervous, so Take shortcuts��by attacking the weakest side, of course.


    Because of this, An Feng was unlucky. He expected that he would have to negotiate the transfer by himself, so he would definitely not be able to play it. Even if it was a transfer, the price was not optimistic, and he was not good at bargaining, so he gave himself an ideal price of 7 billion, with a bottom line of 5 billion. However, he did not expect that things were more complicated than he imagined.


    Yes, this kind of thing won''t happen if we talk about it properly. At most, the transfer price is lower. Many companies are willing to buy it at a price of tens of billions, but in order to make more profits, the negotiating team sent by Matthew Playing tricks, on the one hand, promised a group of benefits, let Monsanto quietly buy 21% of the minority shareholders, and promised to give them another 30%, but they had to keep it secret, because they created tension and planned to sell Anfeng��s hands at a high price The 40% here means that both sides are making profits and raising the price. As a result, the paper can''t cover the fire. The other side plans to acquire 40% of the company. two things.


    In the end, Monsanto was going to pay a big price to acquire 21%, but it failed to get 30% from Anfeng. It felt like being played like a monkey. Aim at An Feng, attack him, and directly take 30% of "them".


    Knowing the truth, An Feng felt so innocent, didn''t he just want to sell the shares at a higher price? The crow''s mouth actually came true. I once said that I would encounter threats, intimidation and other bad things. Now all my brains have come, and there are still a group of ghosts wandering around in the dark, I don''t know what they want to do.


    Matthew, who felt An Feng''s resentment, smiled: "Don''t worry, you think about the bright side. If you negotiate by yourself, their methods are even darker."


    "It''s not funny!" An Feng was depressed, but he also knew that some people in the Sinclair family were playing tricks under the covers. If they came by themselves, they would have no power, what confidence would they have to negotiate with them? Maybe there is��that is, sell as quickly as possible to the party with the highest bid. Because not everyone likes to play black games. Canada Potash, Mosaic, etc. are all well-behaved negotiations, and only the people behind Monsanto are messing around.


    Matthew solemnly said: "I assure you, I will arrange for Dane International''s professional contractors to be stationed in the small town where you live as soon as possible. In addition, I will communicate with the governor and local councilors to let them pay more attention to the situation there. things, arrange police patrols, and give contractors the green light."


    Regarding personal safety, An Feng was not polite to him: "I want that kind of authentic mercenary, he must have fought in war, and it is best to put the city under martial law!"


    Matthew smiled and said: "Don''t worry, air and land patrols, I guarantee you won''t even lose a hair! If necessary, I will invite the FBI to help, okay?"


    Although it was a joke, it could be heard that Matthew was serious.


    After An Feng hung up the phone, Joanna came over and said with concern, "You don''t look very pretty."


    An Feng smiled and said: "Maybe it''s hot. Let''s not talk about it, let''s go to the swimming pool to cool off. The weather is really bad recently."


    An Feng''s performance is the same as usual, and there is no shortage of things to play and enjoy. Occasionally, he and Joanna go to the city to have a meal or go shopping... It''s just that his "friends" plan to stay here for a long time, and Gu Li doesn''t know how to play. Knowing whether he is afraid of the cold, he wears a black suit all day long, disappears quietly, and occasionally finds him checking some strange props on his body, as if he is guarding against something.


    ��


    Matthew received Simon''s latest report.


    But Simon said that they quit, because it involves too much, and their company only contracts security work, and does not do murder and arson.


    The meaning is very clear, and the other party is also prepared.


    Matthew feels like gunpowder, and Monsanto is nothing to be afraid of, but the people behind them are disgusting, he has dealt with them, and these people don''t have many rules-although it is not a wise choice to confront the Sinclair family, but how can a group of hillbillies understand So many boxes!


    Matthew, like his mother, has the arrogance of the British colonists towards the United States. Obviously, he will not bow his head. His generation is still alive and well.


    Just when Matthew entered the state, feeling that life was a little challenging, and was about to pick up the phone to call the heroes from all walks of life, Bazel Sinclair in Texas had a video communication with him, and the focus was on this matter. Bazel''s complexion was not good, and he asked immediately, "Do you want to fight?"


    Matthew couldn''t stand up in front of his elder brother, and argued: "Someone bullied me."


    "Bullying you?" Bazel wanted to laugh and get angry at the same time, "Why did I hear people from the Hearst Group say that you deceived them, and you are aggressive and refuse to apologize?"


    Matthew couldn''t hold back anymore, he laughed: "You know the temperament of those country bumpkins all too well. They hang around in front of me like flies all day long, and they dare to threaten my benefactor."


    Bazel asked: "With three billion, are you going to protect him?"


    Matthew knew that he was referring to An Feng, and said, "Just? No, his contribution is at least four billion U.S. dollars, pure profit! I haven''t had that much pocket money for a few years! Although he is a bit naive, do you think this kind of person Why not? His brain is so powerful, a genius! Can you see the graphene battery clearly? There will be processor chips next, not many billions, but what about hundreds of billions, trillions in the future? There is also research on cancer cells , my mother has been thinking about it, she said that she is tired of chemotherapy and frequent medication, I have found someone to investigate the research center, and the strength is really great."


    Bazel said cautiously: "It''s just that we don''t know him very well."


    Matthew laughed: "Look at your outdated old thinking! What if he married Joanna? Is it worth it? My grandmother was also named ''Stanwell'' before she got married. Besides, the Republican Anderson was not a Democrat before, I don''t see you doubting his loyalty."


    Bazel heard this and said, "Is that why you decided to bring him in?"


    "He has potential, why don''t you win him over? O''Hare has become president, so why are you still sticking to a set of boring white supremacism?" Matthew asked back.


    Bazel said: "He is really lucky, three billion can get you."


    Matthew shrugged: "Money is part of the reason, but the main reason is that I think he is pleasing to the eye, a little silly and straightforward. This kind of person gets along with him very easily. He won''t engage in so much scheming with you. He just wants to make some money. Live a leisurely life. Don��t look at him holding the company. In fact, he doesn��t like to manage things. He just wants to pay dividends, and everything is pushed to us. So if you really give him some benefits, he will remember it, form a habit, and automatically stand with us. "


    Bazel''s tone relaxed a little: "Monsanto is a small player, but the Hearst Group that supports them is a bit troublesome. Unlike us, there is not enough food to fight."


    Matthew said: "So I have to put my attitude on and let them know that I am serious."


    Bazel thought for a while, and said: "Okay, leave this matter to me. You remove those ''armies'' tomorrow. What would it be like to ask a group of mercenaries to fly planes near other people''s houses if you have nothing to do? The next family meeting, I should recommend you for the most boring guy of the year!"


    Matthew grinned: "Hey, you still have a better temper than me, and I will convince you. If I confront them, nothing good will happen."

    PS: It''s three o''clock, and I will ask for tickets in a low-key manner at the end. . .

 Chapter 119： robot plan

    Chapter 119 Robot Project


    Although it was very frustrating to bring about unwarranted disasters, Matthew brought the most powerful assistance. Helicopters and fixed wings frequently appeared above the head today. Looking through the telescope, I found that it is actually a drone. The pod under the belly is a set of high-resolution The wide-angle camera can be used as a reconnaissance aircraft.


    Simon put down the binoculars and said in admiration: "There is no model for the time being. This should be an aircraft assembled by Dyne International itself. It has strong performance. It is said that the anti-drug activities in Afghanistan, when the US military could not provide the Global Hawk, they used this aircraft. Airplanes. So this group is ace.��


    Gu Li asked curiously: "Anti-drug contractors? Shouldn''t they be operating overseas?"


    Simon shrugged: "I don''t know, but Mr. Sinclair is very skilled. He must have found a relationship and spent a lot of money to move these people here."


    An Feng didn''t understand at all, Gu Li explained to him: "With this group of people, I''m afraid the opponent must be a SEAL (Navy Seal Commando) to threaten you!"


    Hearing their explanation, everyone knew that Matthew must have put in a lot of work. Even An Feng felt a bit like hitting mosquitoes with a cannon. This is not a war zone, is it? And Matthew forced a group of people who are good at fighting Middle Eastern drug dealers and the Taliban into the city.


    His current security level is probably higher than that of the president. At least in non-emergency situations, it is impossible for the president to let the army guard him��although these people don��t carry automatic weapons, neither can their opponents, so if the rules are fair, and Mercenaries head-to-head is the most stupid way.


    The next day, while An Feng and Joanna were having afternoon tea, Matthew''s news came.


    Matthew said on the phone: "The matter has been resolved satisfactorily. The other party promised to apologize and hold the relevant personnel accountable. They will also pay appropriate compensation for mental damage."


    Yesterday you said you were against each other, but today you are fine? An Feng was full of doubts, but with Joanna around, he couldn''t say too much: "Are you sure?"


    Matthew said solemnly: "We declare that from today onwards, Bruce Ann, you are a member of the Sinclair family, so any threat to you is also a threat to us. As long as you lose a finger, they will have to cut off one." Arm, your relatives are hit by a car, and their children have to be paralyzed and sent to the hospital.��


    An Feng was stunned, officially entered the pit?


    Matthew changed his tone: "Get ready and meet with the representatives of the other party or something. Feel free to lose your temper with them! Even if you slap them in the face, I guarantee that no one will dare to fight back. And theirs Compensation, accept it with peace of mind, and enjoy your life! My friend!"


    ��


    An Feng actually met with the other party''s representative. They mercilessly criticized those hot-headed guys who engaged in petty tricks, and sincerely apologized to An Feng on behalf of the whole group, and sent a check of five million. The sincerity is great. It is estimated that if An Feng does not accept it, they will all be free. Slap.


    An Feng was not unreasonable, and finally accepted the apology.


    The other party was obviously relieved, and said cautiously: "Please send our regards to Mr. Bazel Sinclair, and wish him good health."


    Under An Feng''s inquiry, the whole story was finally figured out.


    Although the other party said it very tactfully, trying not to lead the mistake to one party, it can be heard that the matter was not aimed at oneself at the beginning. The game has rules of the game. It is not that a strong party can threaten the weak. Monsanto also did it at the beginning. Compete with a sense of normalcy.


    It''s a pity...It can only be said that Matthew is too arrogant. In order to raise the transaction price and create a tense atmosphere, his people played a trick on everyone. Of course, they really didn''t dare to do anything to Matthew, but An Feng was unlucky.


    After that, someone got hotheaded and came up with a bad idea to threaten An Feng, and didn''t intend to hurt anyone (this point is to be determined). Then An Feng reacted quickly and brought the matter to Matthew, and Matthew sent someone down to find out After the murder, the gangsters were arranged to shoot black guns at the top of Monsanto.


    Then the conflict broke out. Matthew could only be tough for the sake of face. The two sides were in a stalemate. At this time, the focus was not on An Feng. When a high-level struggle was about to happen, Bazel intervened in the matter. The process is over, and then both parties get down the stairs, happy for all.


    An Feng sorted out the result: Matthew cheated everyone and hurt himself.


    He is a guy who cheats his teammates. He is equipped with top-quality equipment to single out the boss, but he didn''t expect his teammates to be civilians with wooden swords.


    However, Matthew''s starting point was to drive up the transaction price, which was beneficial to them all, and he made a timely remedy afterwards, so An Feng would not pursue it.


    The farce was over, and everyone returned to the negotiating table.


    According to John, the assistant involved in the negotiations, the Hexcel Group will buy 10% of the shares from him. The specific price is currently under discussion. An Feng doesn''t understand what Matthew is planning. Anyway, he promises that the price will not be lower than 12 billion , Don''t worry about other things, just wait and count the money.


    An Feng was indifferent throughout the whole process, eating as usual and going on appointments, making his relatives and friends around him completely unaware that he had gone through so many things. Perhaps Joanna of the person next to the pillow was a little puzzled, wondering that Guli would take the initiative to act as a driver every time he traveled, and there would always be a lot of people around them.


    But it''s just doubts. After all, life is very peaceful and nothing happens.


    After the farce, it was rare for An Feng to think deeply. In just a few days after the incident happened, Matthew mobilized black and white, open and secret forces, from gangsters with black guns to regular security employees, and then to half-blacks. The half-white mercenary group, as well as congressmen, governors and other government officials gave him the green light, and Matthew quickly twisted a group of irrelevant people into a ball. This black and white take-all ability is indeed terrifying.


    This is only done by him alone, what if it is the entire Sinclair family?


    An Feng is thankful that he has a backer, but he also saw his shortcomings. The backer is great, but he can''t ask them to help with everything, right? In his view, the Sinclairs were a trump card��used when it mattered most. I have to do other small things like sesame seeds by myself.


    For example, in the future possible commercial disputes, will someone be overheated? So he has plans to expand the security team. There are many considerations. Personal safety-although there may not be several dangers in a lifetime, the feeling of having a gun in your hand is different from not having a gun in your hand. Even if you don��t know how to open.


    An Feng told Gu Li his idea, and he is the most professional in this regard.


    Guri''s ability is very strong. Judging from this unexpected incident, he feels that his professional quality is no worse than that of Simon.


    Guli confirmed: "Are you planning to invest in a security company?"


    "Isn''t it necessary?" An Feng asked.


    Gurley said: "Of course it is necessary. You can mobilize your own power as quickly as possible. Let alone threats. When you have a group of armed forces under your command, even the president dare not shout at you. Refer to MPRI, whose board members are all U.S. Retired generals, when they took military power, the president was still a small congressman!"


    "Yes, I like to have something to do. Call a large number of brothers to join me. Before the fight, I can make my opponent pee their pants!" An Feng said with a smile, "In addition to personal safety, in the future, my personal company, business, or You can also hire these professional bodyguards for residences, etc., what do you think?"


    Gu Li naturally agreed: "I have no problem, it''s best to have something to do."


    ��


    Leave the matter to the chief security officer. The procedures for setting up a new company are somewhat troublesome. Private security companies belong to special industries, but An Feng can''t help it. Is the gun shop special? In the end, it wasn''t easy for him to handle it. This time is similar, it is easy to directly acquire a company with relevant licenses.


    Considering that I still have to hang out in the United States, in addition to a strong backer, I have to have some muscles that can show off.


    He doesn''t have that kind of ambition to fight for hegemony, but he''s not someone to be bullied wantonly either.


    It''s a good thing that Matthew pulled him into the pit, but he can''t single out the boss next time, he is still a commoner, right?


    What happened this time reminded him that even if he would never encounter the same troubles again in his lifetime, it is always right to have a sense of security.


    In addition to security companies, what else?


    robot.


    An Feng has been thinking about robots for a long time, but unfortunately he has always been poor, with a debt of more than 100 million, and he is not in the mood to think about these things that can''t fill his stomach.


    But he will develop soon, so it''s okay to draw some future in advance. There are many robots in my mind, from service robots that are harmless to humans and animals, to industrial robots with infinite power, to cute and shameful home robots, and finally to vicious armed robots.


    "Let''s make a Terminator." An Feng doodles on the paper with a pen... Because he doesn''t know how to draw on a computer, he can only scribble on the paper with a pencil.


    Build a powerful T-800, as long as someone dares to BB with me, a global reward order will be issued, and the Terminator will hunt down to the ends of the world until the task is completed... No way, it is too much affected by the movie, the content painted by An Feng are all developing in the same direction.


    It''s a pity that it''s too difficult at present, and he doesn''t know where to get high-strength steel. "Skynet" must be a supercomputer? And who should I turn to for nuclear batteries? After smearing it a few times, it only has a cold appearance, but no interior. The paper was crumpled and thrown away, and it was classified as "sub-ultimate dream".


    Of course, the ultimate dream is the constant cheating diamond, and now there is a secondary one.


    An Feng scratched his head: "Just a set of invulnerable exoskeleton armor."


    Exoskeleton, plus a layer of armor, the most typical is Iron Man��unfortunately, it is too fake. Maybe the nano armor is more realistic, but it is still fake.


    Applied it several times, then shook his head: "Shouldn''t the exoskeleton armor be put on by yourself? It''s not safe, as the No. 2 plan."


    An Feng''s No. 2 plan is developed at the same time, but it exists as a secondary one. For example, GP''s chip and composite materials are developed at the same time, but the chip is the most important, while the composite material is secondary. Exoskeletons are not difficult, and now they are available in the United States. It is just a more complicated hydraulic system. It can double the strength of ordinary people, but let alone double it, even triple it is just a bullet.


    In the end, I will return to the robot technology that is closer to reality. It needs a powerful chip brain. Modern technology is not strong enough. Graphene chips are fine, but GP is still developing it... At the same time, the electromagnetic wave transmission signal is not very good, and the delay is serious. , susceptible to interference. For example, if you control a robot remotely, it will be seized or interfered with in the next second. No matter how powerful the technology is, it is not enough.


    The more I think about it, the more complicated it becomes. In the end, I honestly start with the simple one.


    It��s not enough to have robots without weapons, gunpowder weapons? I always feel that it is not worthy of such a high-end title as a futuristic armed robot... An Feng thought over and over again, exerted his creativity, and decided to add electromagnetic energy equipment to it, like a Gauss gun, a strong current passes through the coil to generate a magnetic field force to knock out the iron block , its initial velocity will be more than several times that of ordinary gunpowder weapons, which means that its power is also more powerful.


    After playing around, he actually produced a robot dog that is harmless to humans and animals. Ahem, the weapons it is equipped with are very strong, the electromagnetic gun is standard, and the special thickened shielding material can resist a certain degree of EMP attack.


    Recreate a sleek shape, with a layer of soft bionic material on the body, with spots, and the short mouth of the bulldog, and the big eyes of the pug.


    Seeing in a daze, the future robot army is actually a group of cute dogs... An Feng wiped his sweat.


    After working on the drawings all night, I finally came up with a plan. I wanted to call John, but considering that he should be asleep, I changed it to an email address and asked him to find time to find a venue and register a company for myself. The name is "Robot Corporation"...it would be nice to have a name anyway.

 Chapter 120： take advantage

    Chapter 120 Take advantage


    When An Feng stared at the drawing and was obsessed with thinking about something, a soft body came up from his back. He leaned his head back on her and asked, "Honey, can''t you sleep?"


    "Hmm." Joanna rested her chin on his shoulder, "I feel like you''ve been in a trance these days, did something happen? Let me share it with you, please?"


    "It''s nothing serious." An Feng pulled her into his arms, "I''m making some plans for our future, and I''ve thought of a lot."


    Joanna put her arms around his neck and smiled: "Share?"


    Holding her waist, An Feng described: "I want to make you the most noble woman and live the most luxurious life. What''s the plan?"


    "It''s too general, and I don''t need it." Joanna stared at him and said, "I feel that you are under a lot of pressure. I just want you to be happy."


    "No pressure, no motivation." An Feng smoothed her skirt, "And I mean it, your husband is about to earn a lot of money."


    Joanna raised her eyebrows: "I adore you."


    An Feng was a little proud: "With this money, it is enough to realize many of our dreams, including the promise to build you a luxury cruise ship."


    An Feng told her a lot of plans, including the giant cruise ship promised last time; building their love nest, he is currently struggling with whether to choose an inland or coastal location; and planes, whether to buy second-hand fun first or large Airliner modification... After all, it is a kind of happy trouble.


    Joanna smiled and said after listening to his extravagant thoughts: "You know, my dear, I feel like you have moved the bank''s money printing machine to your home."


    After speaking, she looked around, looking for a surprise.


    An Feng shook his head and smiled: "No, but this is much more powerful than a money printing machine."


    "Are you as good as you?" Joanna looked at him.


    An Feng thought deeply, and then said: "You will only know after seeing the actual effect."


    After speaking, this hand fumbled dishonestly through the nightdress. The silk nightdress feels very good, of course it is not as delicate as her skin, but this kind of touch separated by a layer is more able to arouse the flame in the heart. An Feng hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "Shall we use this position?"


    "No, that posture is very shy." Joanna shook her head.


    "Didn''t you feel good last time?" An Feng recalled, the woman who has practiced yoga, the posture she poses... I won''t tell you.


    "Don''t." Joanna shook her head, but she had her own reasoning: "Things that are easy to get will gradually lose their novelty. I have to make it difficult for you."


    "I like challenges!" An Feng nodded. To be honest, it feels like playing a game, challenging each level to unlock one level, each level has surprises waiting for them. Life is very long, if you don''t find some fun to enrich your life, it will gradually become monotonous, so they agreed to do so.


    ��


    Two days later, Los Angeles.


    Wang Wei attaches great importance to the renewal of the contract. Tailan''s fertilizer has also achieved excellent response in the country. Due to policy reasons, it is only tried in one province, but it is worthy of its ability to monopolize the world. As a businessman, Wang Wei certainly would not let go of this excellent business opportunity.


    He brought a lot of people here, including Wang Le, who was traveling with his sister in the United States. He heard that this guy got along well with Lisa, and he had already been to the woman''s house. When he heard about An Feng, he also ran over... In fact, the main purpose was to congratulate him and Joanna in person, plus onlookers.


    Priority is given to priority when business matters are important. They checked into a hotel in Los Angeles, brought their own lawyers and assistants, and prepared contracts in both Chinese and English.


    The lawyers were checking the contract. An Feng sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, drinking mineral water from a Riedel crystal glass, looking particularly classy.


    Wang Le smiled and asked: "Recently changed sex, don''t drink alcohol and only drink water?"


    An Feng smacked his lips: "It''s not ordinary mineral water, it''s ''10,000 years before history'', which is more expensive than wine. It''s produced in Canada, and it''s said to be brought from the glacier-inhabited land."


    "What''s special?" Wang Le asked.


    "No, it''s just for pretending. The cake is rich and handsome." An Feng shook his head, grabbed a piece of dessert to eat, and sighed: "God, please forgive me for being vulgar."


    Joanna handed him a tissue to wipe his mouth.


    "Thank you, dear." An Feng kissed the back of her hand.


    "Yo, show love!" Wang Le joked.


    An Feng smiled triumphantly: "I don''t mind if you don''t agree with me. Right, Lisa?"


    Lisa smiled, and Wang Le continued: "Have you planned where to hold the wedding banquet?"


    An Feng shook his head: "Not yet, anyway, it''s a long holiday in October, and there''s still more than a month left. Let''s think about it slowly, but it should be in California."


    Joanna suggested: "Maybe we should choose a resort, so that friends from China can have a good rest for a few days besides attending the banquet."


    "Good idea." An Feng squeezed her palm, "You are so smart, dear."


    "Oh! It''s so disgusting!" Wang Le frowned, and pulled Lisa away, "Sister, we have to stay away from them, and be careful of being infected."


    While smiling, Wang Wei came over with another bottle of "Ten Thousand Years Before History". He put the exquisite glass bottle on the table, sat down and said, "Besides the low mineral content, the value of these mineral waters is really doubled." It��s scary, except for the cost, half of it is coaxed up.��


    An Feng nodded: "Naturally, just a bag, regardless of whether it looks good or not, with a donkey (LV) logo on it is a fashion that everyone is chasing after it."


    After talking about homework for a while, An Feng said: "You should know that I am going to transfer Tailan. While I am still the boss, try to cooperate as much as possible. As for the exclusive authorization from the mainland that you want, it is very difficult, but I can help you Get a production authorization for three to five years."


    Wang Wei said understandingly: "I can understand that if it is an exclusive license, the transfer price will be greatly reduced. After all, China is a huge market."


    "That''s the reason." An Feng nodded. Anyway, Tailan is about to change hands, and those giants are not short of money, so it''s okay for him to take advantage of it.


    After reading the agreement, the representatives of both parties signed. The three-year cooperative relationship authorized Wang Wei''s enterprises to produce these fertilizers and paid the patent royalties to Tailan.


    An Feng finally used his position to take advantage of Tailan, because Wang Wei will pay 30 million yuan to his RMB account in three years.


    Tailan will transfer out sooner or later, and it would be a fool not to take advantage of the advantages��as long as the price does not affect the overall transfer contract, these are completely easy.


    But he doesn''t plan to keep this money for himself. Thirty million yuan is not enough for him to fly an airplane, and he has to pay taxes. When the exchange rate is converted, it is only five million dollars. Last time, he just gave away a lot of money My five million check...he transfers the money to his parents and spends it as he wants.


    After signing the contract, everyone opened champagne to celebrate.


    Because of his busy schedule, Wang Wei came here in a hurry, and took away his team in a hurry, leaving only An Feng, Wang Le and their respective women.


    An Feng temporarily stayed in Los Angeles, because he planned to take a simple European tour before September, and went back to his hometown with Joanna on the way, so he needed a visa.


    Traveling abroad is a lot of trouble. Joanna, who holds a British passport, almost goes to European and American countries, because there are visa-free agreements with each other, but An Feng can only work hard to get a visa, and there is a certain probability that it will not be approved... Fortunately, There is a "Schengen visa" for European travel, which means that as long as you obtain a Schengen visa from a certain Schengen country, you can freely travel to all Schengen countries within the validity period of the visa.


    At present, there are more than 20 Schengen countries in Europe. If you just take the Schengen of any country, you can go everywhere. This is much more convenient, but An Feng needs at least two kinds of visas: the European Schengen visa, and the British visa��because the UK is not a Schengen country, he still needs to go to the consulate to stare.


    After learning about the process, An Feng envied Joanna: "It''s still convenient for you, you can leave when you buy a ticket."


    Joanna comforted him: "Don''t be depressed, there are also tourists from mutual visa-free countries who are rejected. So, a secure visa is still good."


    "Rejection is only a very small part, okay?" An Feng shook his head. Of course, it does not mean that mutual visa exemption and visa on arrival will be unimpeded. A small number of tragedies will also be refused entry for some strange reason when they pass through customs inspection. But at least the probability is very low, and the visa will not be refused without reason.


    "Do you still want to change a passport?" Joanna said.


    ======


    Attention everyone! In order to spur myself, I decided that from now on, every 20 more monthly tickets will be added once! We are not great gods, we are just one on the street, so we will add one chapter to the few 20 votes, now it is 152 votes, let''s start counting from 152. . In addition, if the plot requires, I will add more if the tickets are not enough.


    Finally ask for a recommendation!

 Chapter 121： 15.5 billion

    Chapter 121 15.5 billion


    (I��m sorry, I��m going to die after going out for a turn and coming back! Well, this is an addition of 172 votes)


    ��


    An Feng shrugged: "I want to too, but how can I just change it?"


    He is currently holding a green card in the United States and has lived in the United States for one year. According to the naturalization conditions, he can apply for naturalization after five years of living in the United States. If he marries an American, it only takes three years. But Joanna is British. So you have to wait at least four years to get a passport.


    To be honest, it is not necessarily a good thing to have an American passport in the hands of the rich, because the United States implements overbearing global taxation. The tax law stipulates that American citizens and green card holders whose overseas assets exceed US$50,000 must truthfully declare to the IRS. Otherwise, you may face a fine of $10,000.


    It may not affect ordinary people, but it will be more troublesome for rich people. Overseas business income must be taxed in the country where it is located, and then taxed to the US government, double charged! And because of the US government''s requirement to track down tax evasion, Swiss banks do not like to open accounts for Americans in recent years.


    After hearing An Feng''s complaint, Joanna had her own way: "I can''t do anything to get an American passport, but it''s not impossible for other countries."


    An Feng said: "My request is conditional. It is the kind of passport that has visa-free or visa-on-arrival agreements with European and American countries. Every trip in the province requires a visa."


    Joanna smiled and said: "Listen to me slowly, the Commonwealth of Nations has a member state: St. Kitts and Nevis. It has visa-free visa-on-arrival agreements for more than 130 countries, and European and American countries are basically visa-free. The country''s immigration requirements are very simple, investing hundreds of thousands of dollars, 100% legal naturalization, and the average processing time is about four months. If you are a rich man, it will definitely be faster if you give more money."


    Wang Le also heard what Joanna said, and was surprised: "It means that you can get a passport and become a citizen in four months, instead of a green card or something?"


    Joanna nodded: "Of course it is a citizen passport. And the country''s tax system is loose, which has a very huge benefit: no personal tax, no inheritance tax."


    An Feng''s eyes lighted up. It seemed like a good deal to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to exchange for a visa-free passport from European and American countries... Moreover, it does not levy personal tax and inheritance tax. It happens to be the most terrible thing. The personal tax in the United States reaches 35%, and the inheritance tax is 40% this year.


    The inheritance tax is too far away. What An Feng values ??is a tax. Offshore companies avoid taxes and fees. If they want to transfer to an account in the United States, they will face the review of the Federal Taxation Bureau. If it is the country Joanna mentioned, directly It is legal to transfer, anyway, they do not have the concept of personal income tax.


    More than 130 countries have visa-free visa-on-arrival. There is no personal tax or inheritance tax. You can get a passport in four months. Moreover, there is no immigration prison in the country. It is no problem not to go back after taking the passport for a few years. Anyway, it is a record. Legal citizens of record, the government doesn''t care where you are, they only recognize money.


    An Feng was moved.


    To be honest, he doesn''t care which country''s passport he takes, and the national heart cannot be changed by a passport, but for a rich man who wants to travel all over the world, the passport in his hand is a bit... hard to take out. Of course, the US passport is more powerful, but it cannot be taken immediately, and the tax is strict.


    (In fact, American passports are not necessarily good, because there are too many Americans, and there will be rejections when passing customs. The so-called visa-free is just a decoration...)


    But this idea is still a sign, and it is not something that can be done immediately. He needs to get the visa for the European trip first. Take a little time to go to the interview and answer the questions of the visa officer... After staying in Los Angeles for a few days, after successfully obtaining the Schengen visa and the UK visa, I went back to pack my bags.


    The time came to mid-August, and he heard that the corn in some areas had been harvested ahead of schedule. He took the time to check the information on the Internet. Without exception, all the corn harvested in advance used Tailan''s super fertilizer, and the grains were full and large. It is sweet and has a high sales volume, and has been well received in the market.


    "This should increase a lot of negotiating leverage." An Feng said to himself, just at this moment the phone rang, and it was John''s.


    "Hi, John!" An Feng said.


    "Mr. An, the result of the negotiation has come out." John reported the good news.


    An Feng asked: "How much?"


    "Divided into two parts, 10% was sold to the Hexcel Group for 1 billion US dollars, and the other 60% reached an agreement with American Mosaic Corporation and Hexcel Investment, and enjoyed 15% of the sales of patented fertilizers for 5 years. The transaction price 14.5 billion U.S. dollars. 70% of your shares are exchanged for a total of 15.5 billion U.S. dollars.��


    "Say it again, how much?" An Feng asked again.


    "$15.5 billion, plus a 15% share of the net profit from fertilizer sales, for five years. According to the projected value, 15% of the five-year net profit may reach $6-9 billion, so the total price is expected to be 215 More than 100 million U.S. dollars." John said with a smile, he could understand An Feng''s mood.


    "Good-job!" An Feng shouted, "Beautiful job! Thank you for your hard work, John! Your bonus will be indispensable when you come back!"


    Hearing An Feng''s yelling, Joanna, who was learning how to make Chinese tea, rushed over. Seeing his appearance, she asked worriedly, "Honey, are you okay?"


    An Feng threw away the phone, excitedly hugged her in his arms and kissed her fiercely, turned around a few times, and said excitedly: "Of course it''s okay, not only it''s okay, but also very happy!"


    Joanna obviously didn''t know what was going on, but was still happy for him: "Congratulations!"


    "Must." An Feng let go of her and held her by the shoulders: "Remember the last time I talked about the issue of Tailan''s share transfer? Now the result is out, the transaction is 15.5 billion US dollars, excluding the 300 million paid to Sinclair. % remuneration, the money you can get is at least 10.8 billion! Your husband is amazing, right?"


    "Oh! My God!" Joanna opened her mouth and whispered. This number is unattainable for ordinary people in a lifetime. Even she felt her heart beating faster. "Congratulations! I''m sorry, I can''t think of how to describe it now. But you are absolutely the best in the world!"


    "Congratulations!" An Feng corrected, "You are my wife and will never change."


    "I''m touched by you saying that." Joanna said sincerely, she put her arms around An Feng''s neck, they kissed each other, congratulated, and calmed down slowly.


    An Feng rubbed his smiling face: "Calm down, it''s just a little money."


    Joanna rubbed his face for him: "You were just running around the room like a child!"


    "The first time, it''s inevitable." An Feng smiled, "I''m still in debt of more than 100 million yuan, and it feels great to be able to pay it off in one go!"


    None of them slept that night.


    But An Feng learned calmness from Joanna. Even in the face of a huge sum of money, a good education allowed Joanna to recover from the excitement the fastest and guided An Feng''s emotions. They didn''t discuss money, but some simple and beautiful things, future travel plans, future children, a warm family... After talking all night, their mentality has recovered from the huge surprise.


    On the third day, when An Feng attended the meeting, he brought his wife with him the whole time. He thanked this well-educated woman, without her, he would be just a nouveau riche with no taste, his head was dazzled by money, and he would not have learned the state of being a real rich man who lives indifferently and has a stable mind.


    The two of them were dressed formally, An Feng was naturally wearing a serious suit and leather shoes, while Joanna was wearing a morning dress, a dress slightly below the knee, in a light beige tone, and a round-brimmed hat of the same color. Luxurious jewelry. She is naturally majestic and eye-catching.


    An Feng felt that even if she was visiting as the head of state''s wife, she would be dressed appropriately... In a certain star hotel, the two parties to the negotiation gathered together, and the men were all in suits and leather shoes, while the women were also unified, which was very formal Dress up as if for a high society reception.


    Lawyers and accountants are checking the terms of the contract one by one, and the rest of the businessmen greet each other and celebrate the success of the negotiation. An Feng and his wife shook hands and chatted with each partner calmly. In particular, Joanna''s generous performance won everyone''s admiration.


    This kind of large-scale transaction is very time-consuming. An Feng discussed some details with his assistant John, the accountant Hardy. The Hexcel Group paid 1 billion directly, but the $14.5 billion was paid in five years, because it was impossible for Legg Mason and Hexcel to pay so much money all at once, and because there were not enough accounts on the surface, some of the money It was paid secretly. Therefore, two types of contracts have been prepared today. In addition to the formal one, there is another overseas agreement.


    John explained: "According to the five-year payment terms, now they have to come up with 2.9 billion US dollars, but the company can only use up to 2.5 billion in the account, and they plan to use the other part of the money to trade in the account of the offshore company. The above is 1.8 billion in US accounts and 1.1 billion in offshore accounts.��


    An Feng knows that large companies have their own offshore companies. The money in the account is generally due to overseas business or investment and will not be transferred to China. This payment method is legal outside the country (the United States), but it is only allowed to After the IRS knows, they will want to kill these big tax avoiders.


    An Feng said: "That is to say, the Hexcel Group''s 1 billion will be directly divided into 37, and the other installments will be paid to my US account of 1.26 billion US dollars, while the offshore company''s account is 770 million?"


    Both John and Hardy nodded: "Yes, you can avoid the 770 million personal taxes, but the 1.26 billion needs to be spent quickly."


    A tax year is on December 31, and it is not over yet. The individual tax is calculated according to the "income-expenditure-deduction" and the remaining taxable income. If An Feng didn''t spend a penny, he would have to pay 12.6 x 35% of personal tax by the end of the year, which is 441 million US dollars.


    Nearly 450 million in taxes, which is simply murder, but if he spends it all, he won''t have to pay a penny.


    There is not much time, and it is now close to September, and there are more than four months left. His goal is to spend the billions of dollars in income as much as possible.


    Of course, the 770 million he received in his offshore account has successfully avoided personal tax collection, and it is not low. Nearly 270 million US dollars of personal tax have been exempted, but that money obviously cannot be used in the United States. If you want to use it, one is to pay taxes, and the other is to launder money, but both methods will swallow a lot of money.


    Going around, where is there no need to collect a tax?


    An Feng returned to Joanna, who was exchanging feelings with the ladies and ladies, and took her hand to leave the crowd. He said: "If you want to spend money to be happy, I guess you can only move your nationality to a country that does not charge individual taxes." Otherwise, more than 200 million yuan a year, and more than one billion yuan in five years can only be given to the bald eagle."

 Chapter 122： If you cant run out of money, just burn it [fourth update]

    Chapter 122 Burn the money if you can''t run out ��Fourth update��


    (The addition of 192 monthly tickets seems to be a big game...)


    ��


    Joanna looked at him: "You really decided to do this?"


    "Of course, do you support it?" An Feng looked at her. In addition to this money, if GP International wants to conduct offshore trade in the future, money will also be a problem.


    Joanna nodded: "Of course I support you, but be careful, we are not short of money."


    "I know, dear." An Feng smiled reassuringly, "But since there is a way to avoid it, why pay so much tax for nothing?"


    Joanna did not dissuade him. Because of tax avoidance, it is common for the rich, especially the top rich.


    Her vision is higher than that of ordinary women. They may think that it is dangerous to work with the country and worry about it, but she knows that this is just a trick played by the rich, and it is in a gray area. If you want to investigate, first of all The law is not sound, it is difficult to determine.


    ��


    The largest shareholder of Tailan and the transfer contract of American Legg Mason and Hexcel Investment were signed in the afternoon.


    I don��t know when Legg Mason joined Hearst Investment, but it has nothing to do with An Feng, the main thing is that his money is in place.


    Respect the wishes of the parties involved. No photography or video recording is allowed on site. Only a group of entrepreneurs and representatives of all parties watched the signing ceremony. On the long table, An Feng shook hands with the CEO of Legg Mason and the representative of Hexcel. In front of him was a thick stack of documents, which required many signatures.


    In the official contract, the total amount of the transfer is 9 billion US dollars, which will be paid in five years. As for the other contract, it is clear how to pay the remaining 5.5 billion. The latter one... depends on which country you put it in, because it is in an offshore account. Both parties are obliged to keep it secret, otherwise it will be troublesome for both parties.


    Matthew Sinclair served as a notary. His team will be responsible for managing future remittances, and if there are any objections or disputes, he is responsible for coordinating. This also guarantees to a certain extent that the other party will not renege on the debt - unless it is bankrupt, the contract payment must be enough for five years.


    At the reminder of lawyer Franklin Miller, five contracts were signed in a flash, with nearly a hundred names. The process lasted for several minutes. Afterwards, the two parties exchanged documents and shook hands with smiles. Then someone sent champagne and goblets. Everyone raised their glasses, clinked glasses and congratulated each other. The scene was harmonious.


    After the contract was signed and the form was completed, everyone smiled and said goodbye. At the invitation of Matthew, An Feng and Joanna went with them to a private club in Los Angeles with the theme of red wine and cigars. Came to a separate area, served red wine and snacks, and continued to talk about things.


    Actually, there is nothing to say, the main thing is to celebrate each other, and listen to Matthew to say some precautions, pay attention to the saved materials, etc. Since we were our own people, the atmosphere was very relaxed, so we opened a bottle of expensive red wine and had our own considerations. An Feng has also developed a tongue for wine tasting, and his comments are also decent.


    Matthew put down his glass and said: "The money will arrive within a week. How you spend the money in the account depends on you. As for the other money, you need to pay attention. It is not recommended to transfer large amounts to the US account. If you really want to do this , I will recommend you a money laundering company with a very low fee of 30%."


    Thirty percent is not low, but at least it is lower than taxes. An Feng thanked him: "Thank you for your reminder, but I have plans to use the other money."


    Matthew continued: "In addition, the Hearst Group''s 1 billion, they paid me directly, don''t get me wrong, the 700 million that belongs to you will be deducted from my share in the fifth year, I believe that the 200 million in your account One billion is already under tax pressure, and if there is another 700 million, the tax bureau will be very happy this year."


    An Feng was worrying about having no place to avoid taxes, so of course he agreed with Matthew: "That''s exactly what I mean."


    Matthew smiled: "In addition, in the five-year period, of the 15% annual sales share, I will take 1%, and the remaining 14% will be yours."


    An Feng wondered: "Seventy-three points, isn''t it 4.5%?"


    Matthew smiled and said: "Haha, you are already generous enough, and this time I caused you some small troubles halfway, so it is my apology."


    "Whatever you want." An Feng shrugged.


    "Come on! Congratulations on our successful cooperation!" Matthew raised his glass.


    The ladies also raised their glasses gracefully.


    Matthew talked about other topics: "GP Energy''s factory has started construction and signed a contract with Tesla to provide super batteries for their electric vehicles next year. Then some European car manufacturers have also sent orders. The next step is to expand into mobile devices."


    "Good progress." An Feng said.


    Matthew nodded: "So I have to pay attention to you. If something happens, the further research and development of the battery will be frustrated, and the chip will be finished. That will be a big loss. Please remember my kind reminder. Once something happens, like As for the last time, let me know immediately, and I will help you deal with it."


    "Thank you." An Feng thanked, "I will let the expert team speed up the matter of the research center. Please convey my sincere greetings to Mrs. Sinclair."


    "I thank you for her," Matthew said.


    ��


    An Feng didn''t go home immediately, he stayed in Los Angeles for a few days.


    Because of money and passports. The money issue is naturally a gray part. An Feng called John and Hardy who participated in the process. They are familiar with financial aspects and can provide a lot of reference. At this time, the employer must be suspicious. If he doubts everything, he will not be able to continue playing.


    Hardy, who is most familiar with taxation, said: "I know St. Kitts and Nevis. It is a well-known tax haven. Its land is located in Central America, more than 2,000 kilometers away from Florida. It is mainly black people. The country is small. The annual GDP You didn��t earn as much as you did, but you took a lot of money from immigrant investors.��


    An Feng said: "What do you think about tax avoidance through immigration?"


    Hardy said: "It''s very good, because you have an offshore company account, and if you have a citizenship of a tax haven country, you can avoid income tax and personal tax. As far as I know, some rich people also use similar methods to avoid taxes. , but your starting point is better."


    "How to say?" An Feng asked.


    Hardy smiled slightly: "You are a Chinese citizen, there are many Chinese people, and they don''t value the citizens who have canceled their nationality, but the United States is different. Canceling their nationality needs to pay a high price. At least for the rich, the Federal Tax Service will take advantage of it. Collect them a layer of tax in the last time."


    An Feng was happy: "It''s really unlucky to be born and bred in the United States."


    John reminded: "I seem to remember that St. Kitts and Nevis recognizes dual citizenship, and you can maintain your original nationality and new nationality."


    An Feng shook his head: "China does not recognize dual citizenship. When you become a new citizen, you will cancel your original nationality, which is different from the United States."


    "Oh, that''s my memory." John said.


    We talked about some important points. In general, if An Feng wants to use the gray money with peace of mind, the best way is to immigrate to St. Kitts and Nevis, and use the Swiss bank account to spend globally. Anyway, the US dollar is used in the world, and the Swiss The confidentiality of customers is very high. What? UBS didn''t keep it secret?


    Don��t be too optimistic, because there are too many tricks in it. The major Swiss banks are hurrying to launder money for their customers, but what does the Swiss government say? They only promised to disclose the accounts related to tax evasion. As for the embezzlement of stolen money or other drug trafficking, the arms type are still protected.


    In addition, it is aimed at American citizens, green card holders or American companies. GP International under Anfeng is registered in BVI, a typical foreign company, and Anfeng does not handle private accounts��it will be investigated. But as the boss of the company, he has every right to use the company account.


    The offshore company is not located in the United States, and the legal person of the company is a foreign nationality. What if the Americans check?


    The only thing I worry about now is my identity in China. Americans can��t check it. However, China��s tax regulations also have provisions for paying taxes on overseas income.


    Things are now very clear. We only need to ask the professional service of American Express to find an intermediary to help him quickly handle immigration. The money can be given more, but the speed must be fast. If he is from a tax haven country, personal tax is meaningless, and the local government doesn''t care about such things.


    In addition, An Feng took out the new contract proposed by Franklin, handed it to John and Hardy, and said, "This is a new contract, take a look."


    They opened the contract, which has not changed much from before, but the salary standard has increased by five times.


    If you want to win people''s hearts, you have to give a little benefit, and at the same time pay attention to the sweet dates and sticks��the big stick is already there, and the relationship with the Sinclair family is that. If you dare to threaten them, some strange people will shoot your car windows, kill your pets, or simply target people.


    Giving some benefits, An Feng almost booked their future work. In this regard, Hardy, who used to serve specialized clients, is obviously not surprised at all. John has been exposed to so many things, and he would not be foolish enough to not want a high salary of half a million dollars, and instead take the risk of being hit by a car.


    So it is inevitable for everyone to cooperate happily. They don��t even need to provide a big stick, they will be happy to serve the dollar��who in this world can��t live with money?


    Then An Feng called Angela and asked him to prepare the most professional immigration team for himself, to help him handle immigration tax havens with full authority, and strive to shorten the time. The other party said that the speed can be very fast, but the price will be doubled or tripled appropriately, An Feng scoffed, ten times is no problem.


    What he lacks most now is money, and the trouble that few people in the world can encounter has come to him��how to spend money within the specified time.


    This painful remark is the same as what An Feng heard from an oil rich man in the Middle East complaining: "I can''t always remember how many zeros are behind the account".


    He once commented: If you can��t use it, just burn it.


    Now it might really be burned! There are more than four months until the end of December. If you want to pay less tax, the only way is to spend all the money. Although it is a bit self-defeating, it is better to pay the tax bureau for nothing than to spend it on yourself. Americans She''s not related to him, so why bother!


    The plan must be bold. If this year''s money is spent, next year there will still be more than 2 billion in the account, and it will last for four years. Afterwards... the black-bellied Anfeng ghost had a lot of ideas, and he developed agricultural fertilizers that were a little more powerful than now, and then sold them to the giants or their competitors.


    Maybe I can continue to receive five years of salary again!


    This kind of person is commonly known as "two or five boys". If they are discovered, they may be beaten to death, but An Feng promises that he will not encounter this scene, because five years is enough to change many things, including turning himself into a Huge monsters are not the type that anyone can bully wantonly.


    "Hahaha!" An Feng laughed without warning while eating.


    Joanna also smiled: "You''re smirking again."


    An Feng put away his smile and asked, "Joanna, do you like big diamonds?"


    "I like it." Joanna said bluntly.


    An Feng said: "I''ll give you a top-notch blue diamond. How about a fifty-carat diamond as jewelry? It must be beautiful to wear around your neck!"


    Joanna pouted: "You lied to me, where can I find such a big blue diamond?"


    "Haha, when did I lie to you?" An Feng picked up his mobile phone and called Roger: "Hey, Roger, can I pay back the loan in advance? Don''t worry, it won''t be difficult for you. I will pay off the principal and interest for three years in one lump sum, ninety-five million, right? Not a penny."


    Joanna still doesn''t know what the repayment has to do with the big diamond.


    An Feng said mysteriously: "The answer to the mystery will be revealed soon."

    Chapter 123 Ferrari Legend


    (This is the addition of 212 monthly tickets... It''s late at night, full of blood and tears)


    ��


    After the contract was signed and the money arrived, An Feng and Joanna went home to prepare for their trip to Europe. This is a honeymoon trip, but the time is a little rushed. There are still ten days left before September, and Joanna has to continue her studies. So most of this trip is to take a quick look at the flowers. Fortunately, she is familiar with the environment.


    European integration has blurred the concept of a country, coupled with a powerful high-speed rail system, it is very convenient to travel abroad. Joanna has traveled to many scenic spots, and the details of the trip are in her mind, and her plan also takes into account business��Ann Feng is going to Switzerland to improve the information of the offshore company and find a full-time account assistant. In addition, he also wants to visit the shipyards in Finland, and he wants to customize a super cruise ship.


    An Feng regards the trip to Europe as a luxury trip, in addition to business, it is to play and spend to his heart''s content, participate in the sports car auction in Italy, customize several famous watches for Joanna in Switzerland, or if he is lucky, he may even meet a rare one The rare jewelry... Anyway, not bad money now.


    The booked air tickets and hotels have been arranged, and the credit has to go to Angela. Amex��s global travel services are impeccable. It guarantees that top customers will not feel any trouble. There are dedicated services throughout the process, including air tickets along the way. Hotel reservations, etc.


    An Feng and his family explained some things, that is, the money in the domestic account and the things about living in the local area. The money issue, the parents who are still playing in the country, said that the account has been received. The local life is to let my sister and brother-in-law learn more from Old John, and they will manage the vineyard in the future.


    In addition, Gu Li found several good private security companies, the scale is average, but he can train them with professional quality. An Feng still felt at ease with Gu Li, his strength lay there, and he was asked to act as the general counsel to manage his strength for him. Usually, it is like a defense company to take over jobs, provide security services for hotels and nightclubs, or provide bodyguards for celebrities and rich people.


    But An Feng hoped that it would never come in handy��except for moments of pretense.


    Things are arranged, and the European tour begins. Fly low-key to New York first by civil aviation, and then transfer to Rome, the capital of Italy, a Mediterranean country. The United States seems to be quite close to Europe, but it took nine hours to cross the Atlantic Ocean, and then the plane slowly landed at Fiumicino Airport.


    It is not very suitable to come to Italy in August, the weather is a bit hot, and the country is on holiday, namely "August Festival". The attitude towards life is slow��or lazy Italians have left the city at this time and went on vacation, and the local style in the city is a little less.


    Put away the stamped passport book and follow the flow of people. Ahead happened to be a group of Chinese tourists who came to travel. The tour guide wearing a red hat walked in front, and behind them were chattering tourists, taking pictures around with their cameras. An Feng heard the guide''s mysterious reminder: "Be careful with your bags, there are a lot of local thieves."


    An Feng just heard the words of the tour guide clearly. There are so many thieves, which became his first impression of Rome. He turned to look at Joanna and asked, "Really?"


    Joanna nodded: "Put important items where you can see them, and pay attention to crowded places. Due to the economic downturn, thieves have been rampant recently."


    "Okay." An Feng threw the shoulder bag in front of his back, took Joanna''s hand and left the airport. They had already booked the hotel before they came. Since they were the guests of the top suite, the hotel sent a discontinued Maybach 57 to pick them up. It was luxurious and elegant.


    An Feng and Joanna both took it for granted, it was a luxury trip after all.


    Maybach 57 slowly driving on the ancient streets. Rome, known as the "capital of the world", was the political and cultural center of Europe at that time. It was August, and Italians went out for vacation one after another, leaving Rome to tourists from other places, but there was no empty city, but tourists flocked to occupy Rome. Various languages ??were spoken by the crowd passing by, as if they had returned to the prosperous era of ancient Rome.


    They stayed there for a short time, mainly to admire the Colosseum in ancient Rome. Because they did not reserve tickets, some internal attractions could not be visited, but it was not necessary. An Feng was not very interested. After eating an authentic Italian meal in the restaurant, we went to find the Wishing Fountain in the afternoon. There were so many tourists, everyone put the euro coins in their hands into the pool, and then made up their own wishes.


    An Feng also tossed a coin with Joanna, making a wish like everyone else. An Feng glanced at the coins in the pool, it seemed that there were quite a lot of coins, and he had to throw a lot of coins in a day. Joanna saw his eyes and said with a smile: "It is said that the money thrown in was eventually taken away by the government."


    "Pfft!" An Feng sprayed water.


    When leaving the wishing pool, there were some people gathered nearby, speaking English. An Feng happened to hear something as he passed by, as if something had been taken by a pickpocket. The next crime is almost one catch one, although there are police nearby.


    But the Italian police... Hehe, although they drive Lamborghini police cars.


    "It seems that what you said is true, thieves are rampant in Europe." An Feng said.


    Joanna was not surprised, she sympathized with the stolen tourist, took his hand again, and continued to chat about other things about travel. Not being stolen is of course nothing to do with him, not to mention that it is very difficult to steal from An Feng who is responsive.


    I originally planned to see some religious buildings in Roman Gothic style, or the "Vatican City" in the city, but Joanna is a Protestant, while Rome has a strong Catholic environment. , but still no need to go.


    Then there is the second thing: luxury cars.


    Italy is a world-famous kingdom of sports cars, with the famous "two queens and one queen". The second emperor is Ferrari and Lamborghini, and the second is Maserati.


    An Feng was very lucky this time. It just so happened that tomorrow there will be a large-scale "Ferrari Legend" auction, which will be held in Rome jointly by the famous auction company RM and Sotheby''s. There will be many heavyweight Ferrari sports cars. All those rare ones.


    This kind of thing happened when An Feng had a lot of money... He went to the exhibition before the auction in the afternoon, and the luxury car took them to the destination. The venue of the exhibition is open-air. Apart from the most popular "Ferrari Legend", there are also auctions of other sports cars, but there are not many heavyweights.


    Dragging Joanna to appreciate this large piece of red��the classic Ferrari red. There are many styles on display, ranging from rare 375 antique sports cars, 400 convertible series, to the flagship F50 at the end of the 20th century, and the first flagship F60 in the new century, or it should be called ENZO (Enzo).


    When An Feng saw the fiery red ENZO, he couldn''t move anymore.


    Joanna saw his favorite appearance and asked, "Let me introduce you?"


    An Feng was intoxicated: "Besides the exaggerated shape, I''m afraid it should be a work of art. As we all know, the founder of Ferrari is called Enzo Ferrari, and this car is called Ferrari-Enzo. Just by these few words, you can know It is endowed with a special meaning. This model is very rare, with 400 in the world, and it is estimated that 100 were damaged for various reasons, and the others that survived have become collectors�� treasures.��


    "It looks great!" Joanna said. Women usually don''t know much about cars, just like An Feng is almost an idiot about jewelry brands.


    An Feng looked up at this speed machine. Even though ENZO has been replaced by the new flagship LaFerrari, it still cannot hide its light.


    Whether it is F50 or F60, or the latest F70 (LaFerrari), many conditions are required to order a brand new Ferrari flagship. Starting from F50, one has to own at least two Ferraris, accept the invitation, and review the customer will not immediately Conditions such as changing hands of the sports car.


    "That''s it!" An Feng decided to participate in the exhibition.


    I thought that I would be lucky enough to meet ENZO, but I didn��t expect to meet 599GTO later. Although the appearance is similar to the ordinary 599, its black roof shows its uniqueness. The "road version of the racing car" means that it is a racing car that is legally used on the road, and is a top-notch road car that is stuffed into F1 technology by the designer.


    "Excellent!" An Feng smiled brightly. Although he can''t touch them yet, these two monsters have already been pre-ordered by him.


    Buying them, in addition to the pursuit of car fans, is also very worthwhile in terms of investment. Take ENZO for example, in 2002, its price was about 750,000 US dollars. After more than ten years, the latest At the European auction, it sold for a high price of 1.7 million US dollars, with great potential for appreciation.


    Buy it back and put it aside for ten years, and then sell it at auction, it may become 2.5 million. Don��t doubt the appreciation potential of Ferrari sports cars. The 250GTO sold for 40 million is the best example. Of course, you have to be able to keep it for decades, with short mileage and still in good condition.


    Going further down, when I saw a convertible Ferrari F50, I stopped again and read the introduction. This car is a special edition of the 50th anniversary of the 1995 model. It was limited to 349 cars, and now it has only driven more than 5,000 kilometers. Very well maintained, even a spare key is included.


    Based on the technology of 1995, the F50 uses the V12 engine to maintain its acceleration from 100 kilometers to about 3.7 seconds, and its top speed breaks through 325 kilometers per hour. It''s not that the F50 is not strong, but that the F1 that was born out of nowhere is too dazzling.


    Legend shouldn��t just be bored in the corner. When An Feng saw it, he immediately included the F50 in his purchase list. Good things come in pairs...and three! Now that I let myself see it, I''m panicked with so much money in my pocket, and it''s a car worth the money, it''s a pity not to get it.

 Chapter 124： 133 Water City Tour

    Chapter 124 Chapter 133 Journey to Water City


    (232 votes... Damn, I hate that you hide your strength!)


    ��


    The next morning, after paying a deposit of 50,000 US dollars, Joanna accompanied him into the main venue of the auction. Because there are many models in the joint auction, not only the cars, but also the engines of some racing cars, the estimated price is actually more expensive than the sports car, Joanna can''t understand the madness of the car fans.


    After being seated, there were many people present, but they were all talking in low voices. On the stage is a huge projection screen, which is connected to the road outside. After the auction officially starts, there will be bidding sports cars coming in from outside��the bidders will never want to see the car being driven in by someone hitting the gas pedal.


    In front of it is the auction of some classic cars. The prices vary from high to low. An Feng is not very interested, unless it is a legendary model. He wants to buy a sports car that can be collected, or taken out for a drive, to show off and make car fans climax. Buy it back and keep it open? An Feng didn''t have a fever to that extent.


    Waiting in the chat, and the record of competing with Joanna in mobile games... The boredom is finally over, a fiery red ENZO is pushed in by the staff, and the surrounding bidders raised their heads and focused their eyes on it , it seems that the purpose is quite unified.


    Listen to the auctioneer''s endless praise and introduction. The car is in good condition and has only traveled more than 1,000 kilometers so far. For a sports car, it is equivalent to never driving it. Well maintained, no accidents, even the instruction manual and spare keys that come with the car are built in.


    This shows that the car is worth a lot.


    The estimated transaction price is about 1.05-1.3 million euros. Everyone slowly increased the price. An Feng stayed on the sidelines. Anyway, no one can beat him. When the bidding price stabilized at 1.2 million euros, he began to raise the price, and he went forward without fear of any opponent''s strength.


    Several bidders saw An Feng''s sharpness, and abdicated to a local tycoon from a mysterious country. In the end, it was sold with an estimated value of 1.3 million euros, or about 1.76 million US dollars.


    Less than 2 million. For him who is now receiving more than 2 billion salary every year, it is not a big deal. It is not even enough for his own helicopter.


    The Ferrari 599GTO will be auctioned immediately after, and he is still waiting to see. Its estimated price is 500,000-800,000 Euros, which is also not expensive for An Feng. He doesn''t care about rational investment, just like car fans will buy what they like no matter the cost. Others can''t beat him.


    In the end, it was auctioned by him for 800,000 Euros, about $108.


    Then the F50 was pushed up, and everyone unconsciously looked at the confident An Feng with a bad feeling.


    At the beginning, An Feng watched them raise the price calmly, and the collectors also watched him cautiously to see if he would make any moves.


    From 800,000 Euros to 900,000 Euros, An Feng did not make any move. Just when they thought there would be no more accidents, An Feng raised his card.


    "910,000 Euros! Mr. No. 155 offered 910,000 Euros!"


    When he started raising his placards and raised the price with arrogance, the eyes of other collectors were helpless. Why did a local tyrant appear!


    Who let him in!


    The car fans are about to cry, today he snatched all the three heavyweights of the Ferrari legend!


    Finally, An Feng finished the car with a price of 950,000 Euros, and was then invited to the VIP reception room to deal with the payment problem, and also met a supervisor of RM by the way.


    His name is Brian, an American, and he often travels to Europe and the United States to preside over various luxury car auctions. For bidders like An Feng who are not short of money, it is very worthwhile to make friends with, and bidders also like them, because they have They will know in advance of any information, heavyweight auction items.


    Bryan said: "Mr. An, are you planning to transport all three collections back to the United States?"


    An Feng nodded: "Of course, I live in the United States."


    Brian asked: "Are you going to ship by sea or by air? We can provide you with a full and thoughtful one-stop service, and the charges are very reasonable."


    An Feng is most afraid of trouble. He said this and immediately agreed: "The speed of air transportation should be faster. You can do it on your behalf, which will save me a lot of trouble!"


    Brian smiled: "It''s okay sir, that''s the essence of what we do for our customers."


    They exchanged business cards, and Brian said that the next Pebble Beach Auto Show in California would bring more surprise collections, which whetted An Feng''s appetite.


    The tax on vehicle sales between European and American countries is not high. How about in Europe, it is almost the same when you return to the United States. This can be seen from the vehicle market. If it is in China, the ENZO that Anfeng bought for 1.76 million US dollars will cost at least three times the cost to get it on the domestic roads.


    After completing all the procedures, An Feng gave Joanna the time: "I''ve finished buying my toys, and it''s time to buy toys for you."


    ��


    They left Rome and flew to Venice, the famous water city.


    Taking a plane is not a good choice. Italy does not have such a developed aviation system as the United States. The conditions of the local airlines are so-so. The planes are old and they like to be late. If you are not in a hurry, taking the high-speed train is the most comfortable and convenient . Italy has a well-developed high-speed rail system.


    It took less than an hour to fly, but it took more than an hour to waste in various forms. After walking out of the airport, the pick-up car had not yet arrived.


    "It''s late again." An Feng sighed, leaning on the pillar and stroking Joanna''s hair. Only the girl can make him have the patience to wear it down.


    Joanna poked him with her finger: "You must have enough tolerance and patience when dealing with Italians."


    An Feng nodded: "I know, Italians are notoriously lazy. It''s not uncommon to be ten minutes late for a date, and Spain is no different. I heard that Latin people have to lay their guns. Thieves, liars and hooligans are almost They are synonymous��sorry for being too much, you don��t have friends from these countries, do you?��


    She said with a smile: "No, they regard this as a ''free attitude to life''. They will not let work dominate themselves, but let themselves control life."


    "I heard that Italians go to work like this: get up at eight or nine o''clock, slow down on the way to work, first go to the coffee shop for a cup of coffee, and occasionally meet friends, chat, talk about life and ideals, and then go to ten. They went to work slowly at one o��clock, and thought about leaving work before four o��clock. That��s fine, they also participated in the parade, strongly demanding that the government force companies to raise wages.��


    Joanna smiled: "You admire this kind of life, right?"


    An Feng nodded: "Of course��I mean, it would be fine if I was the only one like this. If everyone was like this, I would go crazy too."


    The driver who was ten minutes late finally drove the car slowly, explaining the reason is very common: traffic jam. As a result, on the way to Venice, although there were many cars on the road, the speed could be maintained at least 50 kilometers... An Feng finally knew that he had met his opponent.


    Abandoning these historical genetic factors, other aspects are still good. Venice, as early as when An Feng was in elementary school, there was a text on "Venice on the Water" with black and white illustrations. In his impression, Venice was a magical city submerged in sea water and shuttled between buildings by rowing boats.


    After driving across the bridge, the car stopped after driving for a certain distance. You can already see the waterways passing through the houses and wooden bridges. Occasionally, there are ferries passing under the bridges. Tourists sit on the boats and enjoy the scenery. The surrounding scenery, while An Feng and Joanna are sitting on a... yacht.


    An Feng doesn''t want to take a yacht, but this is the hotel''s pick-up boat and he can''t choose.


    All the way through the "street and water alley" to the San Marco district. This area is a wealthy and prosperous area, and they stayed in the most distinctive and luxurious palace hotel. It is said that it used to be a palace for a lady, facing the Grand Canal. There are very few hotel rooms, so you can only book in advance, but it is very worthwhile.


    There is a spacious room filled with antique furniture, shiny plated tableware, exquisite crystal wine glasses, and soft handmade carpets. The pure classical style is everywhere, which makes guests feel honored. Put down your luggage, sit on the European-style sofa, cross your legs, and wait for the servant to pour you wine...


    When the sun was not so strong that afternoon, the two tasted wine and snacks in the open-air restaurant outside the hotel, staring at the passing ferry boat together in a daze, and chatting about life like the tourists around them. After nightfall, it is even more beautiful to see the lights flickering on the water.


    Joanna planned to stay for two days. On the second day, they could still immerse themselves in the beauty of this water city. An Feng specially hired a ferry��Gondola. This kind of black coffin, which is completely dark and walks quietly on the water, is definitely a major local feature.


    An Feng chose a boat for two lovers. They sat hugging each other on the fiery red seats, and the boatman slowly supported the boat and wandered in the long water alley.


    Gondola is the most unmissable romantic trip in Venice.


    An Feng put his arms around Joanna, and she leaned her head on his shoulders. The boat drifted aimlessly, crossing bridges full of stories, listening to the melancholy voices of the boatman and the boat musician, one after another of Italian folk songs, enjoying Looking at the magnificent or vicissitudes of buildings along the way.


    This slow-paced charm is indescribable, and with the one you love, you will forget about the troubles and enjoy the beautiful scenery quietly. You don''t need excessive rhetoric, just hold your hands, and your heart will be with you. heart to communicate. Time was greatly slowed down, and finally they looked at each other tenderly and kissed affectionately. With the blessings of the boatman and the musicians in dry English, they walked through the whole journey with laughter and warmth.


    In terms of language, An Feng has to praise the Italians. Although he doesn''t speak much English, he at least worked hard. Later, when he went to France, he gave bad reviews to the French who think that French is the most beautiful language in the world. It''s too arrogant, before you want to communicate, if you don''t speak French with him, he won''t give you a favour.


    But this is something to say later, that night they ate local specialties at the restaurant along the river: risotto with tomato sauce. Naturally, there was also a seafood feast, such as sardines, clams and crabs, etc. Seafood must be served with a glass White wine... The trip to the romantic water city was changed to three days.


    Afterwards, I hurried to Milan in the north. The fashion capital is famous, but unfortunately there is not much time. According to the itinerary, An Feng will arrive in Zurich, Switzerland on time, so I can only give up the plan of visiting Milan. Anyway, the shopping feast can be made up in France. After the decision is made Proceed to Milan Central Station.


    As an important part of the European railway hub, Milan has the largest railway station in Europe equipped with Eurostar high-speed trains with a maximum speed of 300 kilometers per hour. Starting from Milan, climb all the way up, pass through the Alps, rush To that peaceful country: Switzerland.

 Chapter 125： Switzerland

    Chapter 125 Switzerland


    (252 votes...I''m about to kill myself, can I exchange some forgiveness with morality??)


    ��


    Departing from Milan, passing through the snow-capped Alps, the terrain is slowly descending. The speed of the high-speed rail is not too fast. The speed of the so-called 300 hours is mostly blown. According to the synchronization speed of the display, the highest speed is only 200. In the non-linear area, it drops to 150.


    If they are not speed-seeking passengers, the pleasing scenery along the way will make them enjoy. From the section after leaving the Alps, the majestic and solemn snow-capped mountains have turned into picturesque grasslands, clear lakes, yellow and green farmland, and beautiful cottages built on the mountainside.


    The train passed by on the hillside, and the slopes on both sides were lush grass and blooming unknown flowers. To be honest, An Feng had only seen this scene on the computer desktop. No wonder everyone regards Switzerland as the country of gardens. With the magnificent scenery along the way, it is completely worthy of this reputation.


    Joanna looked out the window and said longingly: "It''s so beautiful! The sky is blue, and the water is also blue. I really want to live in a small wooden house on the mountainside for a few days, and when I wake up, I can see the green grassland."


    An Feng nodded: "A few days is enough, I will reminisce occasionally, and it will be annoying after a long time."


    "Let''s come and live here next time?" Joanna looked back at him, the touching longing in her eyes made him irresistible, An Feng said with a smile: "As long as you have time, we will make a special trip to live here for a while, it''s like a picture scroll The beautiful scenery is indeed worth keeping in the memory of life.��


    "You can still ski!" she said.


    Admire the scenery and come to Zurich, the largest city in Switzerland. Known as the richest city in Europe, the financial center and commercial center, there are more than 100 banks from all over the world, and the funds mobilized every day have reached an inestimable astronomical figure, so it also has the saying of European Wall Street.


    Many people call it "paradise" because Switzerland, as a permanent neutral country, has had no wars for more than two hundred years. As the richest country per capita, no one can match its welfare. It once proposed that it can receive 2,000 euros a month without working Welfare, the latter bill was not passed, but it also shows the wealth of Switzerland.


    After getting off at the station, the hotel has already sent someone to wait. In this regard, the Swiss, like the strict Germans, would rather be early than late. Perhaps it''s this disciplined, even rigid attitude that makes the world''s richest people trust Swiss bankers.


    Of course, the "Great Germans" like their ** predecessors, like to bully the Jews.


    AmEx��s travel service helped An Feng book a service at a local five-star hotel, and the hotel sent a full-time driver and a Rolls-Royce to pick him up. The driver in a black suit and white gloves invited them to sit in the solemn black luxury car, started the car steadily and left.


    This is a hotel hidden in a private park, with a good location, a view of the Alps and Lake Zurich, and just one street away from the richest avenue, Bahnhofstrasse. The street has the world''s top fashion designers, as well as shoes, furs, jewellery, porcelain and jewellery, just about every luxury you can think of.


    Staying in the best hotel, living in the best room, enjoying the top service, and enjoying the most beautiful scenery are the standards of Anfeng''s trip this time. Although some outbursts are unavoidable in behavior, but with the most noble lady accompanying the staff, this feeling will be diluted after slight changes in details.


    After a short break, Joanna dragged her to go shopping. Bahnhofstrasse is just across the street, and you can see the costumes and jewelry in the shop windows with your eyes, and women will inevitably be tempted. And when they travel with very little luggage, they generally use local shops as wardrobes. The key to open the wardrobe, of course, is money.


    Considering environmental protection issues, motor vehicles are not allowed to enter Bahnhofstrasse, the only ones are trams, trams or the current new pure electric vehicles. BMW''s i series also saw a few vehicles. It can be seen that pure electric power is the mainstream, and GP''s super battery will promote the development of all these.


    Joanna said as she walked: "Let''s look for formal clothes first. This way, I remember the most men''s clothes here."


    She is familiar with the local area, and it is by no means the first time she has come here. An Feng was dragged by her to sweep every shop on the street. It is said that some people would rather fly halfway around the world to spend an afternoon here. An Feng understands the reason, there are too many luxuries to count, and the eyes are dazzled.


    In addition to purchasing formal clothing and jewelry, An Feng did not forget to take Joanna to the most famous item in Switzerland��watches. Called the service center of Amex, and helped to make an appointment for Patek Philippe''s private service. After walking in, there was a special receptionist, and it was worthwhile to customize two personalized watches, both of which were for women, with a total price of about 800,000 US dollars , belongs to the very top level of customization, those watches with millions of dollars usually only appear at auctions, the price of personal customization may not be high, but it must be in line with one''s wishes.


    However, the rigidity of the Swiss has also come. With An Feng tactfully saying that the price can be raised appropriately, they firmly believe that the production time needs to be at least one year. An Feng had nothing to do with them. If he hadn''t been concerned about being a gentleman, he would have paid ten times the price. If he didn''t believe it, he would dare to shake his head.


    But he didn''t do that in the end. First, he came out to have fun, and there was no need to create trouble with others; Although he has a lot of money, he has not developed to the point where he can give it casually, and rationality still dominates. After leaving, Joanna said appreciatively: "You were really personable just now, a model of calm and calm, which will change their impression of the Chinese people in their hearts."


    An Feng smiled bitterly: "Is the image of the Chinese in foreign countries so bad?"


    ��


    The next morning, the Rolls Royce of the hotel sent him to the headquarters of Credit Suisse Group.


    The Swiss bank mentioned in the movie is actually a vague concept. It can refer to UBS, the largest Swiss bank, or some other small banks in Switzerland. Of course, Swiss bankers all abide by the duty of keeping strict confidentiality for their clients, but as a large group or rich man, they should choose the top ones.


    UBS, the Union Bank of Switzerland, is the largest financial holding group in Europe, and Credit Suisse, chosen by An Feng, can only be ranked second behind UBS. No way, the right to choose is not in his hands. When GP International opened an account, the offshore account used was Credit Suisse.


    On the way there by car, An Feng said: "There is a story about a rich man who walked into UBS with five million dollars, looked around mysteriously, and asked to open a private account, but the bank staff told him with a smile:'' I''m sorry sir, it''s not your fault that you''re poor.'' So it was rejected."


    Joanna laughed: "Don''t want five million?"


    An Feng shook his head: "Of course this is just an exaggerated joke. First of all, it is impossible for a rich man to walk into the bank with five million US dollars - it is too heavy; and then Switzerland is not a country dominated by US dollars, so it is very sad to have so much foreign exchange. environment. In fact, what I want to express is that UBS is a tsundere.��


    Joanna asked him: "So you don''t choose to open an account with UBS?"


    An Feng nodded: "There is a part of the reason. I always feel that I don''t look like a big name when I come to the door in person. In addition, when Credit Suisse heard about my intention, it took the initiative to invite me to come. So between being a grandson and an uncle, I resolutely chose Uncle, even if Rui Suisse is only the second child, there is no second child of a thousand years."


    While chatting and laughing, I came to the headquarters of Credit Suisse.


    Because I made an appointment in advance, as soon as I got out of the car and walked in, someone came up to check the code...well, the name. After passing the verification, he was led to the upstairs office, which was still a separate large office, divided into two areas, the inside and the outside. The outside was used by the assistant, and the inside was used by the owner of the office. There was only one foreigner. To be honest again, it''s as if foreigners think that people of the yellow race look alike, and An Feng also thinks that white people in foreign countries look similar. The other party is just whiter, with a higher nose and blue eyes.


    The tall foreign man in a suit greeted him with a smile, and said in English with a German accent: "Hi, Mr. An, nice to meet you, my name is Friedman."


    "Hello, Friedman, this is my wife, Joanna." An Feng briefly introduced.


    "Hello, Mrs. Ann!"


    After saying hello, both parties sat down. Like his German name, Friedman speaks Swiss German, plus French, and a little English, so communication is still barely there. Later, Joanna, who can speak French, translated some difficult points for them, without the need for a third party to intervene in the whole process.


    Looking at the introduction, the other party seems to be called Friedmann von Herlandeck. According to tradition, his ancestors were aristocrats, otherwise he would not have used the middle name von (Feng), but well... the German Empire is long gone, just like the homeless nobles after the French Revolution, Gade is still Gade Von is always self-consoling, the noble lady is in front of him, and Joanna''s is the real Lady.


    But Friedman still has a status in Credit Suisse, otherwise he would not have a separate luxury office in the headquarters. An Feng chatted with him about some business affairs. There are more than 700 million US dollars in the GP international account, which is a big deal. Customers, Credit Suisse is now going to win this kind of big customers to fight against UBS. Knowing that An Feng wants to hire a private bank assistant, the Swiss bankers with a keen sense of smell naturally smell the meat floating on the other side of the Atlantic.


    To put it simply, the money is coming.


    Since Friedman is the manager of GP''s international offshore account, there is no need for An Feng to hide his thoughts and his salary for the next four years, as well as immigrants and non-Americans who hold American green cards. After speaking the basic information, Friedman propped his chin to think.


    After a while, he said: "Mr. An, according to your situation, you don''t have to worry too much about your nationality. You can apply for a check at any time and use it for global consumption in the name of the company��including the United States, because it is an offshore company and does not belong to an American company. , strictly speaking, this kind of behavior is operating overseas."


    "However, I don''t recommend you to open a private account. The Americans are too strict now, and you already have an offshore company that is completely your own. You can spend directly in the name of the company. At most, you can''t write your name on the contract. name, but I think it''s just a small thing."


    An Feng is concerned about another point: "Aren''t you worried about me holding a US green card?"


    Friedman said: "It depends on the situation. If it is an ordinary customer, we will carefully consider it. After all, the Americans are pressing too hard, but the big customers say otherwise. There are some tricks in this, and we can''t just because of a bunch of Americans. In a word, we must strictly follow their orders."


    An Feng smiled: "I think James Bond is right to reassure you."


    Bond said: He only believes in two kinds of people in the world, himself and Swiss bankers.


    Friedman nodded with a smile: "Inheriting a century-old reputation, we have seen even the biggest storms. We will not easily smash our own signs."

 Chapter 126： The City of Romance [Fourth Update]

    Chapter 126 City of Romance��Fourth update��


    The Swiss bank account is relatively smooth. Friedman attaches great importance to An Feng as a client. He will use his own method to let An Feng use the vest of an offshore company to make global consumption without exposing tax avoidance. deity. But...billionaire clients are valued by anyone.


    He also suggested: "Mr. An, the identity of a citizen of a tax-avoiding country is very useful. You''d better confirm your nationality, and we will send someone to help you complete the information."


    With this attitude, will customers leave? They left communication information with each other, stayed there for another night, and went on a hand-in-hand tour of Lake Zurich with their lover, sitting on a small boat to quietly enjoy the scenery of Switzerland. The artificial fountain gushing on the lake, the snow-capped Alps in the distance... This is the most leisurely trip in Europe.


    Continue north the next day, Paris, France.


    An Feng originally hoped to travel in Germany by car. Compared with Italy and Switzerland, Germany''s scenery is not outstanding, but it has a characteristic: highways. The German autobahn is famous for its unlimited speed! At least half of the highways have no speed limit, and no one cares if you can drive 500!


    It sounds like Germany is a paradise for racing enthusiasts, with frequent accidents and heavy casualties - but it is wrong, the accident rate of German high speeds is far lower than that of other countries, one of the reasons is quality problems, what seizes the emergency lane, and takes a long time Almost none occupy the overtaking lane.


    It''s a pity that the itinerary is not enough, and even the plan to stay in France is only two days, which was specially allocated by Joanna. She has a good friend whom she hasn''t seen for many years, and hopes to invite her to the future wedding in person, otherwise the plan to go north will be ruined Time to fly straight to the UK.


    On the plane.


    Joanna taught An Feng some basic French. She can speak French, but she seldom speaks it. The French are so patriotic, they have to be "stupid" to greet each other first, and then change to other languages, otherwise they may ignore people.


    An Feng''s learning ability is very fast, and French is also a Romance language, which is somewhat similar to Spanish. It also uses the feminine la, masculine le (el) and other usages, and he has mastered it fairly smoothly. But he was a little speechless. He felt that the French were really good at mathematics. How good was it?


    An Feng asked puzzledly: "Aren''t they the type of ''Stubborn Rabbit Dead Donkey Buddha'' type of counting? Do they have to be divided into two or three to read? Do you still need to calculate addition and subtraction?"


    Joanna nodded: "Yes, the requirements for reading numbers in French are a bit special."


    An Feng rubbed his temples: "How do you pronounce seventy-six in French?"


    Joanna said, "Sixty plus sixteen."


    An Feng tried to understand: "Then ninety-six is ??ninety plus six?"


    In the end, he still underestimated the French''s mental arithmetic ability. Joanna smiled and shook her head: "No, it should be four twenty plus sixteen."


    "I��" An Feng kept the word "go" in his mouth. We are particular about demeanor, but his face was full of black lines: "Why do the French have to have such a superb number? This is the ''world''s most oily (beautiful) language''" What about the phone number, how do you read it when you tell me to ask the girl for the phone number?"


    "Ask the girl for a phone number?" Joanna grasped this point.


    "It''s not what you think." An Feng looked at her wrongedly, grabbed her palm and squeezed it, Joanna''s seriousness turned into a smile again: "I''m sorry you don''t dare, even if you want to, you can''t remember."


    "Yes, your husband is too stupid." An Feng nodded.


    Joanna thought for a while: "Read a series of numbers, right? Like 176728498, just read one hundred plus sixty plus sixteen, sixty plus twelve, four twenty plus four, and four twenty Add eighteen. As long as you read quickly, you should be able to get the phone number before the girl is disappointed."


    "I give up!" An Feng surrendered, put his arms around Joanna and kissed her, and smiled: "It''s better to marry a daughter-in-law who is very good at counting, otherwise with my personality, I will die sooner or later because I am counting on Gaul. On the way... I guess a quick-tempered person could set himself on fire."


    I haven''t been to France, but I have already experienced its power. After getting off the plane, I was a little apprehensive, because I was looking forward to the romantic city and worried that it was too far from my imagination. In the past, Japanese people went to Paris admiringly, but after seeing its mess, they couldn��t believe that this is the beautiful Paris. After returning home, they suffered from heart disease. It is said that a psychiatrist set up a special project to study what Japanese people can��t face. reality syndrome.


    An Feng thought it was caused by the pain of seeing people in the open-air toilet... Following Joanna to the outside of the airport, he was looking left and right, and suddenly heard her cheering, hugged a tall blonde girl, and kissed each other Salutations, each other''s faces were filled with joy, and there were several words in French.


    After An Feng came up, Joanna pulled him over and introduced in English: "This is the Isabella I said, Isabella de Montfort, my good friend."


    Joanna introduced An Feng again: "He is my husband, Bruce, who told you."


    An Feng greeted her in a formal tone: "Hi, beautiful and honorable Miss de Montfort, it''s an honor to meet you here."


    It''s so long and grotesque, but there''s no way, it''s just the standard one, and there are longer ones. Joanna said that the French like this set. The more respectful and enthusiastic they are, the more they can reflect their joy for their friends. And it seems to be an aristocratic surname, so you have to add de (Germany) in front.


    Isabella also made a formal gesture, shook his hand with a smile, hugged him politely, and said in English: "You are like a traditional British gentleman, no wonder Joanna likes you."


    Joanna twitched: "Actually, the relationship is right."


    Isabella said to An Feng: "You are Joanna''s husband, and you are also my good friend. Just call me Isabella like her."


    "No problem, Isabella." An Feng smiled.


    According to Joanna, Isabella and she met because of the sport of fencing, because fencing is famous in France, and even the language of the referees is in French. The two aristocratic ladies with similar interests and similar backgrounds got acquainted with each other after coming and going, and became friends.


    Their relationship is very good, otherwise they would not have made a special trip to Paris and brought their husband with them. So An Feng also took a relatively rigorous attitude. As a result, Isabella didn''t pay too much attention to etiquette. She was more casual, unlike the British who desperately maintained their aristocratic face.


    On the way, I heard that I was going to stay in a hotel, so Isabella suggested: "Just go to my house. I haven''t seen Joanna for a long time, and I want to catch up. The house I live in is no worse than the hotel. It is located on the seventh floor of Paris. In the area, you can enjoy the beautiful Seine River and overlook the Eiffel Tower."


    Unlike Americans who are hospitable and hospitable, Americans can casually invite people to their home when they meet for the first time, but the French are more particular about this aspect. It is good to be nice to you, but ordinary friends are rarely invited home. Those who are invited are usually very friendly.


    An Feng looked at Joanna, she nodded: "I''m very happy, please trouble you."


    Isabella smiled: "It''s okay, it will make you feel comfortable."


    Walking out of the airport, Isabella led them to the parking lot and came to a white Bentley Continental GT sports car. In the car, considering the space problem, An Feng sat in the front passenger seat.


    Although it is a two-door sports car, the rear row of the Continental GT is still very spacious. It is no problem for an adult with a height of 1.8 meters to sit. Moreover, August and September are the best times in France, and the temperature is not too high. There is a slight breeze, and after the sports car starts, it brings a cool and comfortable feeling.


    Touring Paris in a convertible car is indeed a very good choice. Driving in this city that is said to be romantic even in the air, you have a wide view, you can look at the characteristic Western European buildings gathered along the way, and listen to the ladies'' comments on these scenery. Insights, looking at the expected number of Peugeots and Citroens.


    An Feng feels that most of the French buildings are gray and white, and the buildings are not very tall. The attitude of the French towards buildings is: as long as the buildings are not toppled by themselves, they will not be demolished. Therefore, in many old urban areas, the buildings have brought the vicissitudes of history, and the rich culture is silent.


    The sports car drives on the bridge, crosses the Seine River, and you can see the towering Eiffel Tower when you look up. I heard that the 7th and 8th arrondissements in France are rich areas, and most of the buildings are apartment-style and expensive. After all, it is very close to the city center, and it is impossible to build a small house like in the United States.


    After parking, everyone took the elevator to the top floor of the apartment, which is the location with the best scenery and the widest view.


    Ladies first is a must, An Feng followed them with luggage. As soon as you walk into the house, it feels very spacious, with a very stylish layout and a good location. One direction is facing the Seine River, and you can see the slow-moving cruise ships above it, or stare at the iron bumps in the other direction.


    "It''s so beautiful here." An Feng said sincerely, and he didn''t give in to booking a hotel suite with them, and this is a home environment, more warm and free.


    ��


    Not long after they arrived, Isabella''s boyfriend also arrived.


    The French are very concerned about entertaining guests. I heard that David left his work and came here. He kissed Isabella after entering the door, regardless of whether there were guests present. An Feng can only smile at this point, because France happens to be a country that pays attention to romance.


    Of course, this kind of romance is also accompanied by promiscuity. I heard that the boyfriend and girlfriend who are in a relationship should go on a date because there is more than one person waiting for an appointment. And even if they are married, some people still can''t help but want to have a beautiful encounter with a stranger, An Feng can only hehe.


    David is a standard handsome guy, the kind of tall man with deep blue eyes, a light beard, and a very lethal smile. An Feng shook hands with him, but he hugged Joanna as a face-to-face salute. In his heart, An Feng raped him a hundred times for gays.


    Can you not be so enthusiastic about my wife?


    So after this time, he treated Isabella with appropriate French enthusiasm, and he wanted to take advantage of it. If the tiger doesn''t show his power, do you really think I''m easy to bully? However, apart from the etiquette aspect, the scene where it is easy to hook up with a friend''s wife (husband) in the impression did not happen.


    Perhaps film art properly exaggerates the emotional ways of some French people, just like the laziness of Italians. Apart from this aspect, David is still a good man at home, and he handles the dinner by himself. He is wearing a white T-shirt, outlines a toned upper body, and is focused on cooking in the kitchen.


    Isabella stared at the busy man in the kitchen with her chin propped up.


    Joanna saw her and said to Isabella with a smile: "Your boyfriend is really considerate. There are fewer and fewer French men who can cook well."


    But Isabella said: "That''s the only advantage. It doesn''t look like your husband. He has a standard gentlemanly demeanor. He looks like a nobleman of extraordinary background, and he is a perfect match for you." After finishing speaking, she glanced at An Feng quietly, An Feng smiled at them, no matter which world a woman is, gossip can ruin her image the most.


    I had a good dinner in the evening and discarded my inner prejudice against David. His craftsmanship is still good, but it is a pity that An Feng didn''t communicate with him much, because he is just a typical Frenchman who only speaks French in France. �� even though he speaks other foreign languages. An Feng decided that he would be proud of his Chinese next time, so he would speak Chinese whenever he met anyone. If you bother me with something, if the first sentence is not "Ni Hao", I will pretend not to understand.

    Chapter 127 Diamond Crown


    (Late at night to update yesterday''s...grass, use it as a dead ticket to kill brother!)


    ��


    The honeymoon trip continued on the second day. Although the way of sending out the wedding invitation letter after the honeymoon is a bit��the order is reversed, it does not prevent the naturally romantic French from blessing and envying this attitude towards life. In David��s view, He said it was worth emulating the romance plot for men.


    An Feng had a smile on his face, but he was contemptuous in his heart, you think everyone is a good man like me! Las Vegas is the kind of hot-headed marriage, and they might run away after sobering up the next day. This is not uncommon. Flash marriages and divorces occur more frequently in more open countries.


    Go shopping with Joanna in the morning.


    The sensible Isabella and her boyfriend did not come with them. After marriage, the world between the two is so obvious. Being a light bulb is a taboo in the world. Isabella just invited the two to eat top-notch French cuisine at night. There was no objection, and Isabella lent them the Bentley.


    You can rent a car when visiting Paris, but you can never rent a luxury sports car like a Bentley. The weather in Paris has been very good in the past few days, with a clear sky. Since it rained last night, the air is clear, and it is most suitable to drive a convertible car. Therefore, the carport is open all the way, shuttling through every famous street and alley.


    The speed of the sports car is not fast, most of them are watching the scenery along the way, of course Joanna is driving. An Feng holds a California driver''s license, but he is not sure if it can be used in non-English-speaking countries. Italy is fine, but France, which is a bit against English...don''t say anything about an international driver''s license, although it is recognized by 180 countries, it is almost universal. , but China is that rare exception.


    The issuance of an international driver''s license is generally provided by the government of the country where the citizen lives. Even the United States only handles it for American citizens, so An Feng cannot apply for an international driver''s license.


    This is somewhat depressing, but the unhappiness is quickly dispelled by the scenery on the road, and you can calm down and experience it. France still has its unique charm��it must be emphasized that it is the downtown area. Paris is the same as the United States. The area where Xiao Hei Xiao A lives is usually a typical example of dirty and messy, and the police uncle expressed helplessness. Because the Paris police are notoriously corrupt and incompetent, collusion with local Arabs is not uncommon.


    Joanna''s preferred project is to visit scenic spots, commonly known as cultivating sentiment. They specially went to the Louvre to appreciate the elegant works of art. Most of them went for three women: the Mona Lisa with an eternal smile;


    An Feng stood far away to worship Da Vinci''s authentic work, raised his camera and clicked, but couldn''t avoid taking pictures of the two eye-catching reminder signs. The sign is located on the left and right sides of the original Mona Lisa. There are two eye-catching signs erected, which are so abrupt. There is a red villain on it who is taking out the bag of the black villain. Even if you can��t read French, you should know these worlds General Action��Watch out for thieves.


    Joanna reminded before coming: "In France, beware of thieves."


    An Feng now knows that she is serious. Even in an elegant place like the Louvre, the government put up anti-thief signs, and shared the worship of the crowd with these top artworks. What does it mean? This shows that in France, thieves are a tasteful and elegant profession!


    When he left the Louvre and returned to the ground, An Feng wanted to find the square dancing aunt who was said to have gone on an expedition to Paris, but unfortunately he only heard her name but never saw her.


    (It means that the author watched the news a few days ago, and the square dancing aunt has gone to the Red Square in Moscow)


    Then they continued to wander the streets and alleys. The Louvre Museum is very close to the Champs-Elys��es, and there are also famous shopping places such as Galeries Lafayette and Printemps nearby. But now Joanna has little desire for shopping, but is keen on the ubiquitous French food.


    All kinds of snacks and desserts are too numerous to count. An Feng has a general feeling for French cuisine, which is dispensable to him, but desserts should definitely be praised, because they are really good. He followed Joanna, the gourmet expert, and acted as a gourmet recycling bin... Because Joanna pays attention to her figure, but wants to eat enough, what should I do? He only takes one bite of the food, and he is responsible for the rest.


    "Come on, this one is so sweet." Joanna handed the pink macaron that she just took a small bite to his mouth, fed him dotingly, and wiped his mouth with a tissue. An Feng glanced at the young men and women around him, who said the British can''t be romantic? Not weaker than France.


    Macaron is the kind of colorful dessert, a bit like a miniature version of sandwich cake, it melts in the mouth, sweet but not greasy. It''s just... An Feng pointed to the remaining blue, gray and other pastries with serious colors, and suggested: "Honey, can you choose something more neutral for me to eat next time? I always feed me pink ones, it feels like pastries Lipstick on your lips will make people laugh at your husband as Hello Kitty."


    Joanna actually acted like a baby: "What logic? But I like this kind of pink!"


    "Okay, whatever you want." An Feng had no choice but to decide. There is a lot to eat, colorful ice cream, and a sweet hot chocolate shop that is most suitable for couples to spend together. It feels like you can kiss and hug anywhere when you come here. Anyway, the eyes that others give you are understanding and blessing.


    As a result, An Feng was responsible for destroying four-fifths of the food, and only a small part was tasted by Joanna. An Feng advised her to eat more: "Let''s go and eat, don''t worry about getting fat, the HG company in the United States has released an over-the-counter diet pill, take a little every day, to ensure that your figure remains the same as before."


    Joanna rubbed her belly and looked up at him, her expectant eyes were like those of a child begging Santa Claus for a gift: "But my belly is so small."


    An Feng''s forehead is sweating, your husband can help you lose weight, but he can''t help you make your belly bigger...


    Joanna smirked as if she knew what he was thinking.


    "Dare to make fun of me!" An Feng hugged her with both hands in front of the crowd, and raised his head and asked, "Greedy cat, where are we going next?"


    "Hmm...let me think about it." Joanna nodded his forehead and thought for a while, "Shall we go to Place Vendome?"


    "Is there food there?" An Feng asked, his stomach was almost full now.


    "I knew I wanted to eat." Joanna complained, completely forgetting who ate all the way just now. "That''s where jewelry is sold."


    "Good place." An Feng smiled, as long as it doesn''t involve food, it will be a good place.

    Place Vendome, known as the "Jewelry Box of Paris, France", is full of famous jewelry masters with a long history, and there are even century-old names used by emperors and nobles. They found a storefront that looked ordinary on the outside, but the ornate decoration inside showed its restrained nature.


    A lady specially received them.


    Joanna said while watching: "You know that every nobleman who was going to marry in the past would have a crown. This is a certification of status and is also a fashion."


    An Feng understood: "You also want a crown?"


    As soon as Joanna said that, she stared eagerly: "Is it possible?"


    An Feng smiled, and took out his black gold card: "Take it, it will help you get better service."


    "Yeah!" Joanna put her arms around her neck and kissed him. Even though she is now worth billions, her consumption concept still maintains a rational position.


    An Feng''s duty is to magnify her small thoughts ten times and a hundred times, and customize a top-notch diamond crown for his wife. Wearing it at the wedding banquet, it must be radiant... Follow the female receptionist to learn about the history of the store. It has a lot of background. It is said that it was once Napoleon''s jeweler.


    They visited the various styles designed recently. Before the final final production of the crown, there will be a set of silver crowns for reference. So you can only choose one of the available styles... Even so, there are still a lot of beautiful things, and it is unique to wear. Joanna took a fancy to a tiara encrusted with diamonds, with a ten-carat pear-shaped yellow diamond in the center.


    "Is this the finished product?" An Feng asked.


    The female receptionist nodded: "Yes, it has just participated in the Antique Jewelry Exhibition. It is the only one in the world. Now it is waiting for the distinguished ladies who will choose it."


    Joanna looked through the glass booth: "It''s so beautiful."


    "Do you want to try?" An Feng said with a smile.


    "I think." She looked forward to it.


    The charm of the black gold card is reflected. If it is an ordinary customer, the jewelry store may think twice, but no one is willing to let the rich and famous. After permission was granted, the white-gloved receptionist removed the diamond-encrusted tiara from the display case and gently placed it on Joanna''s head as she sat quietly.


    Joanna seldom wears those trendy and colorful clothes, generally no more than three colors on her body, and it is between formal and semi-formal, that is, less civilian and more extravagant, so the diamond crown is worn on her On the head, it fit perfectly with his own temperament.


    "It''s so beautiful!" An Feng praised sincerely, even the female receptionist had the same expression, the perfect combination of temperament and luxury, the crown was born just for her.


    Joanna looked in the mirror and liked it very much. In the end, it was An Feng''s turn to play tricks. He asked the female receptionist, "How much money do I need to give it to my wife?"


    The female receptionist smiled: "1.2 million euros."


    An Feng didn''t blink his eyes: "OK, I think it''s it."


    The female receptionist was a little overwhelmed. After she answered, An Feng''s promise followed closely. She even wondered for a while, if she asked for five million, would this man''s answer be yes? Because after the number came out, he agreed without thinking at all.


    She looked at the radiant Joanna, and she was extremely envious of this lady.


    In the end, An Feng naturally paid the money on the spot, but the crown will be kept in the store temporarily, because it is obviously not appropriate to carry this crown around. They will continue to go north in the next few days, and they can only wait for the return trip to pick it up... On the way back, Joanna was so overjoyed that she couldn''t even drive the car.


    An Feng was curious, why she could calm down with a huge sum of tens of billions, but she almost couldn''t control a diamond crown? After much deliberation, the reason may be the legendary truth that "women can''t resist the charm of jewelry". When he went back, he thought about it several times, yes, it must be like this, jewelry makes women''s IQ lower. No wonder everyone likes to use shiny diamonds for marriage proposals. This woman was deceived foolishly when her IQ was low.

 Chapter 128： Fog

    Chapter 128 Fog City


    At night, I will go out with Isabella and her boyfriend.


    Everyone counts the "stars" together and eats a big meal. In France, you can find many Michelin three-star restaurants. Three stars is the highest rating in the "Michelin Book". There are only a hundred restaurants in the world. Three stars have unforgettable delicacies, and they are recommended and worthy of special arrangements.


    In fact, it is a high-end French cuisine that pays special attention to art. The form is very important. There are four full-time waiters for four people. Desserts to die for.


    The dinner took more than four hours. Although each dish was small, it was enough to add up. After the meal, I strolled on the Champs-Elysees Avenue, watching the night scene and the Arc de Triomphe in the distance, walking close to each other, Can''t help kissing... At that moment, An Feng experienced what is called a romantic capital.


    But the next day I had to leave in a hurry, heading north, London, England.


    An Feng has heard about London for a long time. The legendary foggy city, the heavy fog and haze in the industrial age have caused many misfortunes. Perhaps this is the only way for economic development, but now London may occasionally There is fog, but there is no haze, and fog and haze are the most hated killers.


    In addition, in An Feng''s impression, London is still a "capital of exile". From Marx in the 19th century, Charles de Gaulle in the 20th century, to politicians and celebrities in various countries, despite the vast differences in ideology, being able to live in exile in London means that Basically out of danger.


    But no matter how much you listen to, it is not as good as the native Englishman next to you. Looking at the clouds and mist below, Joanna turned her head and said to him, "Now London is no longer a gentleman with suits and leather shoes on the streets and alleys of the 20th century. Civilization and fashion trends have gradually replaced traditional styles."


    Through film and television dramas, art has indeed rendered London as a country of gentlemen, everyone is wearing black suits and top hats, and they always pay attention to women first. When they go to the street, they must let the ladies go inside. Why? The purpose is to let the muddy water splashed by the cars passing along the road only fly on the gentlemen.


    Joanna continued: "However, there is one thing to note. Locally, if you are not familiar with it, don''t treat everyone as ''English'', because it only represents England. If the person being greeted is a Scottish or Northern Irishman, they will not understand it. If you are happy, it is best to collectively call them Britons."


    "Understood." An Feng nodded, in fact, he thought it would be more appropriate to call him "Googlo-Saxon".


    ��


    The plane landed at the airport smoothly, holding the trolley case in one hand and Joanna in the other.


    There are still a lot of luggage that can be saved on the road, but some of them have been thrown away... An Feng believes that if two trolley suitcases are carried by himself, it will be cumbersome; Limited to a trolley case and a few bags on the body.


    In fact, it doesn��t matter, as long as you bring your credit card, you will always have wardrobes, shoe cabinets, jewelry boxes that you can pick up wherever you go...


    London��s subway is very well developed, but Anfeng didn��t have a chance to experience it. The hotel��s courtesy car has already been waiting for a long time. The British are very particular about punctuality in this regard. Put your luggage and ask the ladies to go in first, and then it��s your turn. The hotel I stayed at this time has a history of 100 years. I heard that the renovation cost nearly 100 million pounds. The feelings of Westerners towards architecture are indeed different from those in China.


    The pick-up Rolls-Royce stops at the entrance of the hotel. There are dedicated waiters to open the door and help with luggage. Guests just need to follow them and climb up the elevator that is estimated to be fifty or sixty years old. It is the royal suite��well, the presidential suite is actually not the top in the UK, because it is a constitutional monarchy, and the king (queen) is the head of state, so the hotel is naturally the top of the royal.


    In fact, the royal suite is not too spacious, the decoration is classical European style, big bed soft chair, high wall oil painting, shiny chrome plated tableware, living room and three suites, according to the size of the top suites that Anfeng has lived in, this place is very small , and not equipped with a full-time butler, the only thing Joanna likes.


    After putting down the luggage, Joanna ran to the balcony outside and greeted him: "My dear, come quickly, the guard team for the changing of the guard ceremony is here."


    That''s why she specifically asked for it. Because the hotel room is not important, what is important is its unique location. This location is really advantageous. You can see the changing of the guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace passing by once a day.


    Walking out and guarding the balcony with her, what appeared was a cavalry team, black horses walking slowly, and soldiers wearing mage red robes but equipped with cavalry swords passed by...


    Joanna pouted: "This is not a mage team."


    Followed by a military band with red uniforms and black trousers, dressed like Prince William''s wedding dress, but the tall bearskin top hat on their heads made them a bit...funny.


    After the team passed by, An Feng suddenly asked: "You said, the changing of the guard team gathers in front of Buckingham Palace all day long to hold a ceremony, will Her Majesty the Queen find it very noisy?"


    Joanna was taken aback for a moment: "Why are your questions always so tricky?"


    An Feng tossed his hair: "Please forgive me for being unrestrained all my life."


    He learned about it afterward, and I heard that **** doesn''t like this kind of ceremony, the reason... The old lady is a lot older, so she just wants to be clean, but this group of energetic young men every morning at 11 o''clock The clock is ringing at the door of the house on time. If it were you, would you be able to bear it?


    The only pity is that An Feng was not able to go to the scene to watch the handover ceremony. Joanna said that she was tired of watching it... But we haven''t shared memories yet, right?


    However, I was a little tired from the non-stop traveling north for many consecutive days. The temperature in August and September in Luntian was not high, and it was a bit cold. An Feng hugged Joanna and lay down in the warm bath...well, with SPA treatment The high-end bathtub can massage the sore muscles in all directions, and "by the way" appreciate each other''s bodies, massage and massage, naturally need to press and touch.


    After the spirit merged, An Feng put his arms around her and kissed her, reminiscing about the aftertaste of the fusion between the two parties, and whispered: "So soft, I can''t bear to let you go."


    Joanna smiled shyly.


    ��


    In the afternoon, because I was leaving London tomorrow, I passed many scenic spots directly, and was dragged to Oxford Street by her. On this street less than three kilometers away, there are all kinds of brand stores and large shopping malls that you can imagine. Joanna worked hard all the way Plenty, brisk sweeping the street.


    An Feng was led away by her, looking around. London is not a group of gentlemen in suits and leather shoes and ladies in long skirts and top hats on the streets he imagined, but more casually dressed people representing various trends. On the contrary, Joanna''s dress is between formal and casual, and she can see the shadow of the elegant lady of the last century.


    "Shall we go to Selfridges?" Joanna asked back.


    "It''s up to you." An Feng said.


    Joanna was very happy, but An Feng was puzzled. He had never seen her so enthusiastic about shopping in France. After he entered, he realized that this place was very big, and then it was... a paradise for shoes, with a wide variety of high-heeled shoes, almost the best in the world. Trends can be found, and some are just taken from the production line.


    An Feng understood that apart from jewelry, Joanna could not resist the temptation of high heels.


    But he couldn''t resist, because Joanna''s legs were long and straight, and the proportion of her calf and thigh was very suitable. Wearing suitable high heels was wonderful.


    There are not only shoes here, but also various other types of bags and clothing. After walking around for a while, when you come out after several hours, you have already put on new clothes, and you have transformed yourself into a noble style. Even An Feng put on a suit jacket, and seriously asked Joanna to get in the car to pick them up.


    In the evening, he desperately tried the "Dark Cuisine of the British Empire". Needless to say, the British spent all their cooking time on how to dress. He has never seen such a casual meal. It is said that it is called "cooked beef, fruit and lobster", but...why does it come up with a large collection of mixed raw meat on a cutting board? Where is it cooked? Is this a beautiful joke made by God?


    Try a few mouthfuls, and to be fair, it''s not bad...Generally, he thinks that it''s not bad to eat anything that won''t kill you.


    An Feng put down the knife, and said to Joanna solemnly: "I think, I understand why Master Bei can eat all kinds of delicious food in the world without any scruples."


    "Why?" Joanna blinked.


    "Because he is British and grew up eating British food." An Feng looked around and no one noticed him, leaned his head and whispered: "Eating such hard biscuits, or this kind of half-baked food growing up, it is easy to shape a biscuit." Perseverance, the heart that wants to get rid of the dark sea of ??bitterness!"

 Chapter 129： home

    Chapter 129 Hometown


    The trip to London ended on the second day.


    Time is running out, Joanna needs to visit relatives and friends and pay homage to her father. So the next morning, An Feng went to the local car rental agency to rent a scooter. Although the British railway system is developed, it is uncomfortable to take the train and the degree of freedom is not high. He wants to enjoy the scenery while driving.


    But they didn��t make a reservation, and there were a lot of tourists coming to the UK in August and September, so the rest of the car dealerships were compact cars, or Minis or Beetles. I wanted to rent a medium-sized car, an ordinary BMW 3 series None of them can be ranked. After getting out of the garage, Joanna continued to look for the route.


    An Feng looked up at the sky. The weather in London was unpredictable, with a few dark clouds floating above his head. It seemed that light rain was possible. According to Joanna''s idea, it was best to arrive in Oxfordshire before noon, as time was running out. He knew the best way was to call Global Service.


    It is unrealistic to call the plane. American Express can call the plane, but it takes longer, after all, it is not native to the United States. I consulted the shift secretary about some things. It is really inconvenient to rent a car recently... An Feng had an idea. After hanging up the phone, he pulled Joanna to the side of the road to stop the car: "Come with me."


    Joanna asked: "Have you found a suitable car dealer?"


    An Feng smiled mysteriously: "There is a better way."


    Joanna went in without knowing it. An Feng pulled her into the car and gave a place name. Ten minutes later, the taxi stopped and got off after paying the fare. An Feng raised his hand and pointed: "Look! There are a lot of people here. Car? There are convertible ones, closed ones, two-door and four-door ones, and you don��t need to make an appointment.��


    Joanna was stunned when she saw it.


    Aston Martin''s exclusive store.


    An Feng smiled and pulled her into the store, and was warmly received by the salesperson. While visiting the models on sale, An Feng asked about the temporary license plate, and learned that the temporary license plate can be completed in five minutes, which is very convenient. Joanna pulled him aside: "Is this your way?"


    An Feng shrugged: "Otherwise, what else can I do?"


    "Buy a car directly?" Joanna asked again.


    "Of course." An Feng glanced at the cars in the exhibition hall, "Isn''t it suitable for a sports car of pure British origin to drive on the British country lanes?"


    An Feng took Joanna, who was still talking, to test the car, and said: "I said that you will only be responsible for enjoying your life. This is a promise, so don''t think about other things, just accept what I bring to you, and I will handle the rest. Also, please rest assured that this car can be donated to charity when it is used up."


    This answer is okay, donations are tax deductible.


    The Aston Martin Vanquish that has been photographed is only two hundred thousand pounds, which is worth three hundred thousand U.S. dollars. It can be said that it is still far from An Feng''s plan to spend at least half of the one billion yuan... An Feng asked his wife to get in the car, and drove the dewy white sports car away in a cool manner.


    Fill up the gas and follow the GPS prompt to drive towards Oxfordshire.


    ��


    Oxfordshire is not too far from London, and perhaps there is a reason why the UK is not too big. It is a distance of hundreds of kilometers. The road is full of the common rural style in the UK, with vast fields, lush green trees, and roads with few vehicles. The sports car is very free to drive.


    "The scenery is so beautiful." An Feng said while driving, the California driver''s license came in handy, because this is an English-speaking country, although the right-hand drive car is a bit uncomfortable.


    Driving in the UK is different from that in the United States. The driver��s seat is on the right, and the driving habit is always a bit inclined to the left. Fortunately, there are not many cars on the road, so it��s okay to be distracted and talk.


    After hearing An Feng''s praise, Joanna smiled: "The British countryside has always been beautiful. It is said that the British nobles regard themselves as countrymen, because both their castles and land are far away from the city and the hustle and bustle. A place where you can enjoy life quietly and low-key.��


    An Feng asked: "Your previous home was in Oxford?"


    Joanna nodded: "A little further north, near Warwickshire, is a beautiful countryside, but it''s not my home anymore."


    An Feng looked at her and tried to say: "If you can''t let it go, I can help you rebuild a complete English-style manor here."


    Joanna said: "No, as long as you are there."


    "Ouch." An Feng joked, "Please don''t be silly when driving, you know that I am very uncomfortable with right-hand drive cars."


    Joanna laughed: "You are so kind, you always make people relax."


    "That''s why I am called ''Little Prince Optimistic''." An Feng said with a smile, "Prince, is it worthy of you?"


    ��


    All the way to Oxfordshire easily, followed the GPS navigator through the ancient city of Oxford. Oxford in Oxfordshire, when it comes to it, has a strong sense of books and history. The famous Oxford University is located here. The city and the campus are integrated. The school is in the city, and the city is also in the school.


    The taste of local history is very strong, it is a relaxed environment, but it is just a quick glance, without stopping, leaving Oxford, going to an unknown place, the road is sparsely populated and the trees are lush, almost every household has a few trees planted, rich Residential green surroundings.


    Finally, I drove into a small town and drove to an ordinary two-story house. The owner of the house came out after hearing the sound of the car. It was an old British man with gray hair but full of energy. He was wearing a gray suit and vest. After the car stopped, he stepped forward and opened the passenger door, and gave Joanna his arm. She smiled and supported her, and got out of the car. Then the white-haired old man commanded An Feng to stop with a loud voice.


    After getting off the car, An Feng stepped forward to shake hands with the old man: "Hi, Mr. Brandon, I''m Bruce."


    "Hello, Mr. An." Brandon looked at him with a smile, and made a gesture of invitation: "It''s been a long way, you must have worked hard, please come in."


    Arthur Brandon is the relative Joanna wanted to meet. Although they are not related by blood, Brandon, as the former earl''s housekeeper, almost watched Joanna grow up, so Joanna''s respect for him Respect, just like treating grandparents and elders, comes from the heart.


    An Feng did a lot of homework, because what he was going to meet was the legendary noble stewards, they were called the noble teachers, they were more knowledgeable in etiquette than the nobles, and even astronomy and geography were involved, so they could completely learn at home. The master''s clone works... It sounds amazing.


    In reality, Brandon really showed his gentlemanly demeanor to the fullest. Even though he has been away from the manor for many years, he has taken care of a generation of earls and is well versed in the ways of the upper class. These habits have almost become instinctive, and all aspects of etiquette The manners are exemplary.


    After they were seated, Brandon poured black tea for them and served some biscuits and other snacks. Joanna was casual, talking about what she had seen and heard over the years, lively and optimistic, without the appearance of a noble lady. Maybe in front of the closest people, she will let go of herself and show her true side.


    Brandon is an unsmiling old man. His career as a professional housekeeper may have allowed him to develop this expression, but the expression on his brows stretched, it can be seen that he is very happy for Joanna''s visit, and expressed his willingness to attend her invitation. He said: "It is my greatest honor to be able to attend Miss''s wedding."


    Then he looked at An Feng: "Mr. An, congratulations on marrying such an elegant and virtuous lady."


    An Feng smiled: "Thank you, meeting Joanna is also the luckiest thing in my life."


    Joanna used this to say: "Mr. Brandon, don''t you plan to continue your career?"


    Joanna is planning to ask Brandon to come out again. It is said that this kind of top butler who has really served nobles is favored by rich people all over the world. Their rarity is comparable to that of declining nobles. Therefore, at least an annual salary of more than 500,000 pounds can be hired.


    An Feng also looked at him expectantly. In fact, he had long planned to hire a housekeeper. It would be best if he could have a CEO to manage the tedious affairs of the house. Besides, he has money, so he will not have a large number of full-time managers in the future. Gardeners, cooks, servants and bodyguards, I certainly can''t manage them.


    Brandon smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, miss, but I have some private matters of my own recently, and I really don''t have time to think about other things."


    "What a pity." Joanna was disappointed, "In my heart, you are the top candidate."


    Brandon nodded: "It''s an honor for Miss to think so."


    ��


    The matter of asking the top butler to come out of the mountain is temporarily unknown. I stayed at Brandon��s house for one night, and the night was very quiet. The old butler sat in front of the piano and was very excited. Live happily ever after.


    The next morning, I left temporarily and drove to pay homage to Joanna''s biological father.


    On the way, I heard from her that her family has held the title of hereditary earl for seven generations. With time and wars and other factors, the Stanwell family has gradually decreased. Especially in the two world wars, her family sent all the young and middle-aged to fight. Few of them were able to come back, and they disappeared when they came to her father.


    I feel that in terms of patriotism, the British nobles really like to lead the way, and proudly declare that the country is defended by them, and British history is the history of the nobility... An Feng glanced at Joanna, still not using the casualty rate for the nobility in his heart In place of doubts about mortality said.


    But in any case, regardless of the death rate or casualty rate, at least those powerful nobles did let their children and grandchildren rush to the battlefield to defend the motherland.


    The sports car drove to the place.


    The weather was a little gloomy, the sun disappeared, and the mood was a little heavy. They wore dark clothes and presented a few bouquets of flowers for their father.


    Joanna said: "Not having an heir is something that he regrets all his life. He was very strict with me when he was a child, but I know this is what is expected of me. He knows what will happen in the future, but it is difficult for him to change. He can only use his own way. Come to train me and make my life easier."


    An Feng said: "He will be proud of you, because your performance is impeccable."


    Joanna laughed and shed tears. An Feng helped her wipe it off with distress. She nodded: "Yes, I know that I have never let him down."


    The early death of a loved one is a painful reality. Joanna is also vulnerable at times. An Feng can only be by her side, giving her care and care. She said a lot of things, half reminiscing, half telling, but in the end she was happy, because having a good home was also her father''s wish.


    But sadness is not An Feng''s main theme, people are alive to be happy. After leaving, I took her to Oxford in a fast car, tried the local "food", wandered on the road between the city and the campus, immersed in the fragrance of books and history, and drank beer with college students in the tavern to join in the fun...

    Attention, there is an error ahead!


    It is the income tax. I looked at the income tax in the United States and found that the deduction for the item "expenditure" has a limit. In reality, it is difficult to deduct the full amount of more than one billion yuan, so I said "no tax after spending the money" is wrong! However, the protagonist has a company, and investment expenses, business expenses, donations, etc. can also be used to deduct. (The VIP chapter is difficult to modify, so I will remind you here)


    In addition, in order to ensure the quality and protect the author''s fingers... it is better to return it slowly in three shifts (2 guarantees, 1 month ticket plus change). Remember how much you should add, character guarantee.

 Chapter 130： All the way north

    Chapter 130 All the way north


    (The 272 votes will be updated first...Two updates tonight!)


    ��


    The rest of the time is reserved for Joanna, reminiscing about the past or reminiscing.


    An Feng has nothing to do. Life in the English countryside is monotonous. There are few people around. Occasionally, there are a few birdsong. It is most suitable for leaning on the wooden chair in the yard and looking up at the sky. Weather, it''s going to be a beautiful day, unfortunately the UK is just rainy.


    After sitting for a while, Brandon''s nephew Dennis came and sat down beside him. He just came last night. He was in his early twenties, younger than Joanna, and his personality was not like the taciturn Brandon. On the contrary, he is full of curiosity about everything, and wants to get to the bottom of many things.


    No, Dennis asked: "Mr. An, have you always lived in the United States?"


    An Feng glanced at him and shook his head: "No, I just immigrated and lived here for more than a year."


    "So what do you think America is like?" Dennis asked.


    An Feng smiled: "Are you looking forward to it?"


    "Longing?" Dennis listened and shook his head frequently: "No, no, it''s just pure curiosity, wanting to understand why their influence is so huge."


    An Feng thought for a while and said: "There is freedom and enthusiasm, but there is also a country of darkness and crime. Because of the characteristics of immigrant countries, people from all over the world gather together to bring their own prosperous culture and pursue their dreams. It depends on the individual. Feel, what do you think of America?"


    Dennis said: "The classmates and friends around me have a bad impression of the United States. They think that Americans are not only vulgar, uneducated, like to plant flags everywhere, and conceited. They are also very ignorant of the outside world, thinking that the United States is the center of the world, and they are also rich. Mind you, the entire American society is dominated by big business."


    An Feng looked at him: "I heard that even though the United States is the most powerful country in the world, you still only regard France as a respectable opponent?"


    Dennis said proudly: "Historically, there have been countless wars for hegemony between Britain and France. The longest war has lasted for more than a hundred years and they are indistinguishable. But my conclusion is too subjective. I quoted a German scholar who said that the United Kingdom treats the United States like the nobles of Hamburg. To the rich peasants from Bavaria''."


    Mr. An Feng has seen that the policy of "decent decline" in the UK has always affected its citizens. Judging from the attitude of the people, it is estimated that the title of "America''s number one boy" is just the government''s wishful thinking and cannot represent these grassroots people. common people. They have a bad impression of America.


    According to Dennis, Europeans are very unimpressed with the attitude of the United States. The government is not equal to public opinion. Take France for example. Although France is a member of NATO, its anti-American sentiment is very serious.

    After a day, continue north.


    Last destination: Finland. From London to Helsinki, Finland, in terms of latitude, it is also the way to move north on the ordinate. Finland is a little far away from the UK, nearly 2,000 kilometers. It is next to Russia. It was once controlled by Imperial Russia in history, and later became an independent republic.


    Finland is a typical Nordic country. Part of the country falls within the Arctic Circle, and the northern territories can occasionally enjoy the grand occasion without night. The further north you go, the easier it is to appreciate the gorgeous and changing "Northern Lights". And in the place of Ronevami, it is the hometown of the legendary Santa Claus.


    Joanna looked at the clouds and mountains outside the porthole, and said, "If it wasn''t for the lack of time, we should go to Ear Mountain to find Santa Claus."


    An Feng was afraid of the cold: "Isn''t it very close to the North Pole?"


    "It''s okay, I won''t be cold when I hold you." Joanna said holding his arm.


    An Feng took her into his arms and said with a smile, "I''m so cold right now, please warm me up, little cat."


    Joanna leaned on his shoulder and said, "Afraid of the cold? Then let''s try the aerobic sauna locally? Did you know that the word ''sauna'' comes from Finnish, and there are about two million saunas in Finland?" , for Finland with a population of only five or six million, it is a must-have for almost every household.��


    An Feng nodded: "Okay, but we have to choose the ones that can''t wear clothes."


    Joanna curled her lips: "I can''t wear it in the first place, okay?"


    "Is there?" An Feng''s eyes lit up.


    "I''m talking about a private sauna." Joanna emphasized, "Don''t expect to see other Nordic girls for you. If you want to see it, I will cover your eyes."


    An Feng was blindfolded with her hands, unable to laugh or cry.


    ��


    After several hours of flight, we landed in Helsinki, the capital of Finland.


    As soon as we walked out of the airport, the coolness hit our face. As expected of a country near the North Pole, even at the southernmost tip of the country, the temperature is the same as in winter, about ten degrees Celsius. It is said that it will drop below ten degrees at night, no wonder All of them are so white, they turned out to be frozen out.


    Nordic people are the whitest race with the lightest skin, as white as a piece of paper, here are the purest blonde girls, shinier than Joanna''s luckily mixed blonde hair, glaring under the sunlight above her head The golden light, coupled with their slim figure, really is a "beautiful frozen person".


    An Feng held Joanna''s warm little hand, and got into the hotel concierge car that picked them up. This time, he was not picky. The Nordic countries are usually not mainstream tourist countries. Compared with Western European countries such as Britain, France, Germany and Italy, An Feng Much less, and the hotel is not much to choose from.


    The local area maintains a relatively complete local style, the city is full of greenery, and there are many lakes along the way. It is said that Finland, known as the "Land of a Thousand Lakes", actually has 180,000 lakes, which is far more than the number of "thousand". It feels as serene and peaceful as Switzerland, but with a more ethereal temperament.


    Maybe it''s too cold... An Feng thought to himself. The car came to the hotel in the city center. Although the star rating was not specified, it was still the best room to stay in. The one who specially requested a private sauna room, since Joanna would not show him other Nordic girls, he could only stare at his wife. that''s it.


    ��


    The next morning, receive guests in the conference room of the hotel on time.


    Two tall Nordic white men and a female interpreter with shiny blond hair came. They are both from the Turku shipyard in Finland. Speaking of the Turku shipyard, it is quite famous. It is specialized in cruise ships��notice that it is a cruise ship? yacht. The yacht is too small, the largest is more than 10,000 tons.


    Only a cruise ship can satisfy Anfeng��s dream of a sea palace. The two largest cruise ships in the world, "Ocean Charm" and "Ocean Oasis", are built by Turku Shipyard. With a displacement of 225,000 tons, it can be called a sea giant.


    In addition, they have also built many heavyweight cruise ships. It can be said that they have rich experience. If Anfeng wants to build a super cruise ship, Turku Shipyard is naturally the first choice. The other party introduced each other, and the leader was a manager named Karl, who was gentle and gentle, and was responsible for high-end customers.


    The English of the female translator is not bad, but the translation-style communication has reduced a lot of pleasantries. An Feng felt that the Finnish they spoke was a bit like Russian, but he just couldn''t understand the meaning, and he didn''t bother to figure it out later. He got straight to the point: "My request Quite simply, I wanted to build the largest cruise ship in the world."


    Is this simple? Everyone has different ideas, but they all have admiration.


    Carl listened to the translator and asked with a smile: "You hope to exceed the existing cruise ship?"


    "Of course, isn''t the largest one 225,000 tons? Is it okay to build a 250,000 tons?" An Feng said, feeling that he was free to buy vegetables from the vegetable market.


    It''s a pity that what you want to say is very polite, and the female translator is not easy to mess with.


    Carl listened, with a helpless smile on his face: "Sir, we are very grateful for your confidence in our shipyard. The manufacture of large-tonnage cruise ships is not a big problem, but actually it is very difficult to pass the Danish cross-sea bridge. The last time we passed ''Allure of the Seas'' came within four centimeters of hitting the bridge."


    "Crash into a bridge?" An Feng looked at Joanna.


    Joanna took out her mobile phone, opened Google Earth with a few clicks, zoomed in on the satellite map, and turned the screen to him, saying: "The cruise ship built must pass through Denmark if it wants to leave the Gulf of Finland, and there are bridges across the sea in both places. , you can��t drive a boat and hit it.��


    "Heaven will not help me." An Feng sighed.


    But Karl obviously will not let the super big customer go easily: "But sir, the 250,000-ton cruise ship will cause the hull to be too high, but we can shrink it a little bit, and wait until the sea tide ebbs before letting the cruise ship pass the bridge. It is expected to make a A 230,000-ton cruise ship should be sure."

 Chapter 131： way home

    Chapter 131 Homecoming


    As far as this negotiation is concerned, it is mainly to find out the tone. In fact, there is no need to go to other people''s head office to discuss business, but An Feng feels that this is more sincere, and it is in line with his plan of "going all the way north", saying that it is to discuss business. In fact, half of the time is spent playing.


    Karl remembered An Feng''s key ideas. The first was bigness, and his requirement was the largest in the world; I don''t know why, but this is a special request from a big customer.


    After talking about the main things, Carl said: "Mr. An, according to your intention, we will redesign a cruise ship. It is inevitable that you need to pay some design fees first, and then we will modify it according to your intention, and How about sending someone to the United States to discuss with you?"


    "That''s the way to do it." An Feng nodded, and added: "The design fee is no problem, and I hope you can finish the design before December."


    Seeing Carl''s doubts, An Feng smiled and said, "The US tax year is limited to December 31st. My income this year is a bit high, so I have to turn it into some business expenses."


    Carl suddenly realized, smiled and said: "No problem, we will finish it in a hurry."


    An Feng said: "If you complete the design drawings on time, I can pay you 30% of the payment first to help you speed up the construction."


    Carl was overjoyed: "Thank you, sir! It is our good fortune to meet such a cheerful customer like you!"


    Carl is of course happy, because the expected transaction amount is close to two billion US dollars. According to the rules, a deposit of about 5% is generally charged, and then the shipyard starts to work. There may also be a 10-15% fee on the way, until the ship is completely delivered. Settle 80% of the final payment.


    Anfeng is willing to pay 30% of the contract payment. For the Turku Shipyard, which is currently operating in a somewhat unstable state, it is indeed a timely help. If the requirements are fulfilled, the business will be profitable.


    Finally, the two parties signed the ship design contract, and Anfeng had to pay a fee of one million euros. Then the two parties shook hands. This cooperation only took one morning, and both parties returned with satisfaction. Carl took people back to Turku on the same day, An Feng and Joanna stayed and spent the last night of their European trip.


    The afternoon sun was brilliant, and the blue sky above Anfeng was the clearest that An Feng had ever seen. The sky in California was nothing compared to it, and even the blue sky in Switzerland was hard to catch up with. The air is fresh and the scenery is pleasant, canceling all other plans, and Joanna came to the lawn by the lake, sat on the ground, took out snacks and enjoyed it slowly. The same is true for the tourists around, all of whom have a leisurely and comfortable attitude.


    The four Nordic countries are the places with the highest residents'' happiness in the world, and Finland is among them. Residents are generally pursuing the realm of "self-realization", except for those at the bottom who are still overwhelmed by the high cost of living...but that is rare after all, because there is no paradise in the world.


    All in all, this is a relaxed country where residents are carefree and have plenty of time to plan their own life and enjoy a journey slowly... Sitting on the ground stretching your legs, looking at the boats floating on the lake, the temperature is cool, Perfect for snuggling up and feeling each other''s warmth.


    Joanna looked up over his shoulder and asked, "Honey, what are you going to name that cruise ship?"


    An Feng said: "Since it is a wedding gift for you, let''s name it after you, ''Joanna Circe Stanwell''."


    Joanna smiled: "Is this appropriate?"


    An Feng asked: "Should we also add the Christian name ''Elizabeth''?"


    She shook her head: "I don''t mean that. I mean it''s very memorable, you just so casual?"


    An Feng was puzzled: "Is it okay to print the name of the person I love the most?"


    Joanna smiled sweetly: "I know how to do this."


    An Feng has other plans: "To be brief, how about ''J.S. Stanwell''? Or to be aggressive, to be called ''Queen Joanna''."


    Joanna leaned on his shoulder, stretched out her head lazily to kiss his cheek, pressed her lips against the skin, breathed the masculine breath exuding a strong confidence through the tip of her nose, and smiled: "It''s up to you, I don''t care what name you choose." Love it. But ''Queen Joanna'' is an exaggeration, isn''t it?"


    An Feng hugged this cute cat that was crawling on him, this weather is indeed suitable for cuddling. "It''s not an exaggeration, didn''t the Charm of the Seas move the city up there? My cruise ship is just moving the palace up there, and you are its hostess, so you are naturally worthy of the honorable title of ''Queen''."


    There is indescribable sweetness in Joanna''s smile, but it''s not all because of the cruise ship, it''s more because of An Feng''s love that starts with her everywhere, this level of warm love is enough to melt any iceberg in the world, Not to mention her, a woman who has fallen in love.


    An Feng drew a blueprint in his mouth: "Of course, I want to draw the most unique layer, the top one, for my queen to enjoy exclusively. Others are not allowed to enter. They can only look up at the bottom and guess the looming phantom , who is it? And who can conquer her?"


    She smiled and said, "It sounds good."


    The time on the clock passed quickly. Although the day was always above the head, it was already night. Summer in Finland is prone to long days and even polar days in the northern regions. With eighteen or nineteen hours of daylight, summer in Helsinki is not surprising.


    Joanna walked hand in hand with him by the lake, raised her head and said, "I suddenly feel a little bit reluctant to leave here, and want to continue walking like this with you."


    An Feng turned his head, the smile on his face made people feel like a spring breeze: "There will be a chance, we still have a lot of time together."


    "Look at me." Joanna stopped, the breeze was blowing, the lake was rippling, and her long hair fluttered slightly.


    An Feng put his hands on her waist, lowered his head and kissed her soft lips, slowly pressed his body together, closed his eyes, his body was bathed in the sun... The wind was still blowing, and couldn''t take away the warmth from the bottom of his heart. Some tourists on the way saw this scene, were touched by pure love, and couldn''t help picking up their cameras to record it. He quietly waited for the couple to separate before going over to ask for their advice.


    The tourist said in English: "The scene just now was so beautiful, I couldn''t help but take pictures of your figures and the lake surface, please forgive my presumptuousness!"


    Joanna smiled and agreed: "No problem, please leave us a photo too?"


    He nodded: "Happy to oblige, ma''am."


    ��


    Early the next morning, they took a flight to Paris.


    To take away the crown ordered a few days ago, such valuables are usually checked in... But that is just the thinking of ordinary people. At Charles de Gaulle Airport, the Gulfstream G650 business jet specially called by An Feng has been waiting for a long time. The car stopped beside the plane, and the driver and stewardess helped them carry their luggage up.


    An Feng only needs to hold his wife''s hand and walk onto the plane with ease.


    The cost of a round trip on an international flight is enough to buy a Ferrari, but An Feng doesn''t care. When he saw Joanna holding a jewelry box on the plane with a satisfied smile on her face, he felt it was worth it. This small amount of money is not a big deal ��the plane crossed the eastern United States and arrived at its destination after two takeoffs.


    Wake up Joanna, take her off the plane, a heat wave is coming, the weather in the west is too bad, I just came back from the refreshing and pleasant Nordic countries, I really can''t adapt to the weather that forces people into the air-conditioned room and swimming pool, He got into the car that came to pick them up and turned around to go home.


    This time, they are not going back to each house, but a common nest.


    Back home, I found a note pressed on the table. My sister��s family went back a few days ago, and I heard that they will be responsible for their preparations for the domestic wedding banquet. An Feng felt warm in his heart, this is the care of his family. I put down my luggage and opened some closed doors and windows. It was so hot.


    Changed into cool clothes, hid in the shade of a tree, and drank a glass of ice water to cool off the body and mind. Turn on the laptop again and browse the emails of these days. Unsurprisingly, it is full again. There are too many things to deal with. Immigration, investment, housing, and new cars are about to arrive...


    An Feng took a few glances, closed the computer with a snap, and fell asleep.

 Chapter 132： Investing in a racing track [the third update]

    Chapter 132 Investing in a racing track [Third update]


    The day after returning home, RM��s supervisor, Brian, notified An Feng that the flight carrying the three rare sports cars he ordered had arrived at SLO Airport, waiting for him to pick up the goods.


    After receiving the notice, An Feng called the local towing company and asked them to send a car, then drove the Ferrari in the garage, and went to SLO with Joanna to look at the car. The road is full of excitement and anticipation. He had thought about them as early as when he saw them in Italy.


    After a forty-minute drive, we stopped at the airport.


    Three tightly wrapped sports cars have been unloaded, quietly waiting for their owners in the warehouse. After An Feng arrived, the **** handed him an agreement: "Sir, you can check the status of the car now. If there is no problem, please sign your name here."


    An Feng took over the agreement, and the staff began to remove the car cover, revealing the true colors of the three red sports cars. An Feng walked around them, one word: cool. Whether it''s the flagship ENZO, 599GTO, or F50, the lines and colors of the three cars are very well matched.


    ENZO needless to say, the front face imitates the shape of F1, and the two eyes are very aggressive. The door opening method is a typical "gull-wing door", that is, the type that is turned up. The interior is simple, and Ferrari tries to concentrate all the buttons that need to be operated on the steering wheel, so that the owner does not have to be distracted to touch other things.


    Bend down to sit in the car, the seat is not very comfortable, but sports cars are like this, while pursuing speed, you will definitely give up comfort, this kind of car can be driven for half an hour occasionally, but if you want to drive for several hours, I am afraid the driver will be tonight You have to lie down... Behind the seat is a huge engine compartment. The red V12 engine is clearly visible. It is this beast with a displacement of 6.0 liters, pushing its top speed to 350 kilometers per hour.


    Joanna also checked the status of the 599GTO for him. She still likes this car. The design of ENZO is a bit out of the ordinary, probably because of the pursuit of racing performance. It is as streamlined as possible. If it is not required by the owner, it does not even want to Air conditioning and stereo.


    599GT0 is relatively normal, with a front engine, carbon black roof, red body, and the effect of black and red matching is very eye-catching, showing the difference between itself and the ordinary 599GTB in a high-profile manner. There are also its carbon fiber wheels and bright red brake calipers. When the wheels turn at high speed, what you see is moving red.


    But the seat experience is not very good, because it is a racing seat, hard, and in pursuit of light weight, Ferrari even saved the carpet under the feet, revealing a large piece of rough metal, she checked it, there is not too much electronics Equipment, fortunately, there is refrigeration equipment.


    ��


    After the inspection was correct, An Feng signed his own name. The total value of these three sports cars including tariffs exceeded 4.5 million US dollars, but there is considerable room for appreciation... An Feng drove the ENZO and F50 on the trailer with satisfaction, and then left the 599GTO, My hands are already itchy, I can''t play without it.


    Sit in the car, turn around slowly and drive out of the airport, Joanna is driving California in front, An Feng follows her, trying the buttons on the steering wheel. In normal mode, this fierce horse is very quiet, the speed is maintained at around 4000, and there is no high-pitched sound, but in RACE mode, the ferocious sound waves of the engine and exhaust pipe resonate, like an explosive beast, pushing back strongly Feeling pressed his body tightly against the back of the chair, unable to move. Watching its speed jump up, the speed breaks through 6000, and the adrenaline is also crazily secreted.


    The hand paddle does not need to leave the steering wheel when shifting gears, and the shifting speed is so fast that it is almost imperceptible to enter the gear. When the gear is reversed, the engine will emit a low hum, as if the monster is not satisfied with stopping... If It''s not that there are many rules on the road, he really wants to go crazy.


    ��


    When I got home, I stared at the four fierce horses in the garage, and there was a ferocious McLaren P1 parked next to it. With so many sports cars, it is a kind of happiness to change them every day. What''s a little bad is that the road is protected by laws and regulations after all, so it''s impossible for him to stage a drag racing showdown casually.


    And Joanna didn''t agree with him to go racing on the road.


    An Feng didn''t dare to tell her about his feat of driving 320 on an unmanned road... He must blame him. He didn''t want Joanna to worry, but he wanted to go racing, what should he do? There is a track in Monterey, more than 100 kilometers away, but the distance is very long, and it takes several hours to go back and forth.


    Joanna saw him gloomy looking at the sports car in the garage, and smiled at his childishness: "If you like racing cars so much, wouldn''t it be good to go to the racing track?"


    "It''s far away, and the track is not my own, how can I do whatever I want?"


    "Then build a track!" Joanna thought it was not a problem.


    An Feng looked at the wife of the local tycoon, and shook his head again: "The track is not a road. It has high requirements in terms of adhesion, wear resistance and rolling resistance. The materials in all aspects are the best. The cost of a meter is at least five times that of a road.��


    Joanna was puzzled: "Could it be that building a track can make you poor?"


    An Feng smiled: "You are the one who supports me!"


    Joanna nodded: "Yes, I support you! I would rather you run on the track than see you racing on the road!"


    ��


    An Feng''s requirements are "not high". A standardized track, capable of driving various cars, meets the highest level: the standard of Formula One.


    With a track, how can there be no spectator stands? Occasionally hold a game to cheer for the audience, and maybe charge some venue usage fees.


    With stands, what about the command center and news center?


    With the competition, what about the facilities needed for the competition?


    After much deliberation, it is more cost-effective to build a racing track, including the track, command center, medical emergency center, news center, racing car modification center, maintenance area, stand facilities, protective facilities, helipad, fuel supply station, oil depot, parking Field and so on.


    In the future, I will have more sports cars, so I will put them in the racing track, and they will be maintained by special personnel, and occasionally open to tourists. Go for a few laps when you want to play with the car, open the racetrack to members when you have nothing to do - you have to start a racing association. It''s a way to recoup your investment, in the vein of how a nearby racetrack operates.


    It would be good if we could hold racing competitions, and it would be even better if we had our own team! An Feng didn''t think about it so much, he just wanted to let his friends and friends of friends spread the word in the circle and pay some membership fees. Wouldn''t it be safer and safer to come here to play with the car?


    After he had a plan, he went to the computer to check the information. The first thing he visited were several famous F1 circuits in the world, such as Hockenheim in Germany, Silverstone in England, and Monte Carlo in other countries. Bang and other tracks, and found some of their advantages.


    The total length of the F1 track is generally between 5-6 kilometers. In order to let the audience get into it, a straight track that can drive the car to more than 300 kilometers will be built in front of the audience, and various weird corners will be designed to increase the speed of the car. Difficulty and fun... You need to find a professional designer for this aspect.


    In addition to racing cars, there can also be some racing museums, cultural centers, or theme shops next to it. There are many value-added items, referring to world-famous race tracks, and there are many entertainment places around. This requires that the location must be close to the city and not too far away. No one will come to the wilderness.


    The job of looking for the design is left to the assistant, and An Feng is considering the issue of site selection. He refers to the area of ??some racing tracks and estimates that 1,500 acres is enough. Due to the small land area of ??Monaco, the road is still used during the competition. The one that was rowed in... An Feng plans to make it bigger. In addition to the standard track, there will be a straight track extended to prepare for the usual linear acceleration race or simple linear acceleration.


    Therefore, he estimated that the best area is about 2,500 acres. Land of this size in California is not cheap. I searched around and couldn��t be too far away from myself. Otherwise, I would have to take a helicopter to play a car. Land is cheap. Looks around and picks up a vacant piece of land in southern SLO County.


    The area is 2,300 acres, which is just right, and the price is 18 million US dollars, which is a bit expensive, but still acceptable. After the venue is established, back to the issue of the cost of the racing track, it is not cheap. Like China��s SH Circuit, it is said that it was built with 2.5 billion RMB, or about 400 million US dollars, but its stalls are very large, and there are large supermarkets around it. Bar.


    The budget was finally set at between 350 and 400 million US dollars. For local tyrants who are eager to convert money into business expenses and pay less taxes, it is not a pressure at all. Even if the US account has no money, you still use an offshore account, right? I really have no money left, wait for half a year, and the salary of 2 billion will come again.


    Edit the plan and prepare to send it to your team. As a rule, things that need to be considered must be left to others, and the only thing you need is to pay and enjoy the results.


    Now that we have a car and a venue, then... should we buy a team? It doesn''t need to be too strong, those FIA-GT or DTM are too far away from him, and the investment is too big. There are a lot of plans at present, and it is estimated that there will be spare money in two or three years. Just buy a regional team? There are a lot of touring car races in California.


    Called John: "Hey, John, I have some plans for you to look at for me."


    After making it clear, John should be busy again. Feeling that he always likes to leave things to him, An Feng specifically suggested that he find an assistant. Yes, the assistant''s assistant.


    Then there is Angela. Amex is very good at finding race track designers.


    "Okay, Mr. An, I have written down your request, and I will find a suitable design team for you in the shortest possible time. Please wait patiently."


    Bid farewell to Angela with a sweet voice, and continue to stare at the computer.


    The more he thinks about it, the happier he is. A bunch of follow-up plans have been brought out, and the total amount of investment has continued to rise. If Joanna hadn''t come to ask him to go to dinner, he would have really forgotten that it was getting late... Put down the things at hand decisively, because these things will never last forever. is secondary, only his goddess is primary.


    Hold Joanna in his arms, and after kissing a few times, he smiled and asked, "Hey, shall I have milk today?"

 Chapter 133： New home for two

    Chapter 133 New home for two


    (Addition of 292 votes... and the protagonist''s large cruise ship is obviously for commercial use, who buys such a large ship and parks at the door? Besides, the protagonist has to use it for commercial purposes to deduct tax...)


    ��


    The breeze gently blows the curtains.


    This cool morning, with the chirping of insects and birds, and the soft sunshine, is really depraved. An Feng has been sleeping very well recently, and he woke up early, but he is reluctant to get up. The cat hiding in his arms is sleeping soundly, and a few strands of hair fall on his face, which is a bit itchy.


    He once fantasized about this warm scene. When he woke up and opened his eyes, what he saw was the morning sun, what he saw was his lover, and what he enjoyed was warmth. There were not so many worries and worries, only the faint emotion of interdependence. ...everything satisfies him now.


    "Hmm..." Joanna murmured softly, twisting her body to get closer to each other, feeling his heartbeat on her back.


    She touched An Feng holding her hand, closed her eyes and said, "Hi."


    An Feng smiled, maybe she hasn''t woken up yet... bowed her head and kissed her shoulder, her skin was white and delicate, by the standards of white people, her skin was very good, without freckles, just like the skin on her face, soft and rich elasticity. She felt An Feng''s kiss and said with a smile, "No."


    An Feng whispered in her ear: "I found out that your position is very sensitive."


    She turned around and faced him: "You guessed wrong, I just like to be kissed by you."


    An Feng smiled: "You can really argue, who couldn''t stand it last night?"


    "It''s you." Joanna nodded his chin, "Hey, I need to report tomorrow, what are your plans?"


    An Feng said: "I don''t want to leave you."


    Joanna also said: "Me too."


    An Feng said: "That''s easy, let''s continue to live together."


    Joanna kissed him: "The correct answer."


    An Feng was surprised: "Is there any other answer? Do you think I will let my sweet wife continue to live in the school or around? God doesn''t allow it!"


    She smiled: "Your mouth is so sweet."


    An Feng continued: "So you like to let me kiss you."


    ��


    Joanna will report to UCB tomorrow to continue her MBA career. Although in An Feng''s view, it doesn''t matter whether she studies or not. Anyway, as the wife of a billionaire, she is destined to enjoy life all her life, and work will be isolated from her, but since it is her wish, she naturally agrees.


    After the two got up, they warmed up for a while, and flew to San Francisco by helicopter.


    Considering the problem of going back and forth, it is best to keep Joanna within a 30-minute drive from the school. With this as the radius, Berkeley is the first to be ruled out. Although there are a lot of local housing, it cannot satisfy An Feng. Ordinary housing, crowded Environment...the rich need to be clean!


    He set his sights on the west of Berkeley, across the San Francisco Bay, and found a place called "San Rafael" in the north of San Francisco. This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery, good greenery, good security, and a coastal building. Most of the residences have private marinas, a typical wealthy area.


    Although the local area is more than 30 kilometers away from Berkeley, there are cross-sea bridges and expressways leading directly to Berkeley nearby. It is not like the congested environment of Los Angeles. There are few local vehicles. According to Anfeng��s driving style, it takes at most 15 minutes to get there. When the family arrived at school, Joanna could not be more than 20 minutes late? According to American standards, this is a performance of moderate distance, neither far nor close, and can produce distance beauty...


    An Feng thought it was good, so he contacted the real estate agent and made an appointment to see the house.


    Due to its excellent conditions, most of the houses in San Rafael have been sold, and the price is between one and two million. Only the upper middle class or the wealthy will live here. An Feng''s conditions are even more stringent. Neighbors are too close together, and he doesn''t want Joanna to be seen naked when she is naked. Then the area must be spacious, with front and rear yards, a swimming pool, trees and flowers, and the most important thing is the marina!


    The Queen''s cruise ship is used for traveling around the Caribbean or around the world, while the small yacht is used for getting bored or gathering with friends!


    So a yacht marina is essential.


    Facing the big and powerful customers, the agent turned his mind very quickly, without having to think too much, he found out from the computer the ones that met An Feng''s conditions: "Sir and Madam, look at this area, the scenery is very good, the transportation is convenient, and the houses are well-built. The area is large enough, and almost all come standard with swimming pools and private docks.��


    An Feng took a few glances and nodded: "Not bad."


    The agent said with a smile: "Because of its convenience, the house price will be higher than other areas."


    An Feng smiled contemptuously: "The only thing I consider is what pleases me."


    The intermediary dare not talk nonsense anymore, this person is really rich...drive them to visit the site. There are two sets of luxury houses for sale, both of which are located next to the "canal" deliberately dug by the real estate developer to bring in sea water, and then every household along the river builds docks and moors yachts to satisfy the luxury enjoyment of the rich.


    The two houses for sale they visited were not first-hand, but it is almost impossible to get a first-hand house in San Rafael, and Americans don��t care too much about these, as long as they live well, other things are not considered. Most of the luxury houses in the United States are constantly changing hands, and few people will live there for a lifetime.


    The two houses are not far apart because they are on the same river. Anfeng mainly depends on the layout of the house and the surrounding environment. The first house is very good, with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a front and back yard with a swimming pool and a dock, and a living area More than 3,000 square feet, converted to nearly 300 square meters. Of course, real estate developers in the United States are very kind, and the housing area does not include the front and back yards and gardens. If you add them all up, it will exceed 1,200 square meters.


    Generally speaking, it is good. The government requires that the houses sold by real estate agents must be equipped with basic equipment, that is, wiring, lighting, kitchen utensils, etc., to ensure that residents only need to carry their bags to move in. This is very considerate. And like an empty house in China, it is generally not allowed to buy or sell.


    An Feng discussed with Joanna and continued to visit the second house with reservations.


    The second set has the same total area, with front and back yard gardens, a swimming pool and a private dock, planted with some palm trees and tropical plants, full of greenery. It has 3 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. At first glance, it looks smaller than the previous one, but in fact, the three bedrooms are very large, and the living area reaches 4,300 square feet, or 400 square meters. The design of the house is stylish and simple, with very little furniture, but it feels clean and comfortable.


    "It looks so clean," Joanna said, clearly pleased.


    "Let''s go visit the backyard." An Feng pulled her to the backyard. A row of palm trees planted by the swimming pool blocked part of the harsh sunlight, leaving a shadow on the water. According to the agent, the swimming pool is equipped with a standard filtration system and a constant temperature heating system, so you can play in the water even in winter.


    Through the swimming pool, a platform with a guardrail was built at the place leading to the pier, and two wooden tables and lounge chairs were placed. You can drink a cup of tea in your spare time, look at the calm river in front of you, or hide in the shade of the trees and relax. Stay for a while... An Feng feels that the attraction is too strong. The problem of the lack of rooms is not considered at all. It is basically used to make love and get tired of the world of two people. How can there be so many guests.


    Joanna came to the pier and looked at the yachts moored by her neighbors: "It''s really nice, it''s very quiet, and a medium-sized yacht can be parked here."


    The wife and adults have spoken, and An Feng only needs to act cool.


    is commonly known as "how many meters".


    The agent smiled and said: "The price of this house is 3.2 million US dollars, bring all the furniture and electronic equipment."


    It is much more expensive than the surrounding ones, but it is fully furnished and you can move in with your bags. Without hesitation, An Feng chose this place, signed the contract with the smiling intermediary, and issued the transfer check. The whole process took only a few minutes. The intermediary accepted the check and the contract, and left a business card to say goodbye with a smile.


    The next step was to visit with Joanna. They chose a room with a luxurious bathroom as the master bedroom, and then took notes on the furniture that needed to be replaced. Although it looks clean, but some beds, bath towels and so on, I can''t guarantee the habits of the previous owners of the house.


    An Feng looked around, the room was very spacious, the bathroom alone was 20 square meters, equipped with a hydrotherapy pool with massage function, and a deceptive shower room - because it is transparent, usually a couple washes in it, and the other in the bathroom. Look outside, create a hazy vision to increase the interest of life, and then run to the bathtub for a mandarin duck bath, and think about it until tomorrow... The designer is really a TM genius.


    Go downstairs and browse the living room again. In addition to the glass wall to make the living room bright, there is also a study room and a gym. The gym is not big, but it can lead to the small garden in the backyard. Joanna can sit on a mat on the grass. Do yoga on it, strip naked and no one can see.


    "Also here, replace this table with a teak one, and the stool should be rounded and padded so that you can hold me." Joanna pointed to the areas that needed improvement, and was only in charge of giving orders, Ann Feng followed her and jotted down a few pages. Sure enough, women are naturally suitable for housekeeping.


    "Is there any more?" An Feng raised his head and asked.


    Joanna thought for a while, then shook her head: "That''s it."


    "Of order, my wife." An Feng put the pen in his pocket and started to make a phone call: "Hey, Angela, please trouble you if you have anything to do, but before that, I think you need to call an assistant to help you record. "An Feng looked at the few pages in his hand, he was sure that Angela couldn''t memorize so much.

 Chapter 134： spending money is not easy

    Chapter 134 Spending money is not easy


    After finishing the arrangements, you have to wait until the house is furnished and other procedures are completed before you can move in, but the intermediary will handle it properly. The two returned to SLO. That night, his father-in-law invited An Feng to be a guest, and he naturally couldn''t refuse. After a long time, facing his father-in-law and mother-in-law, his mentality became calm.


    Go to the meeting in the evening and dress semi-formally, because everyone is familiar with it, and there is no need to make it like a palace dinner. Frank is the warm temper of the American, and he is not too particular. He stopped the car and walked into the house. Dinner was being prepared, and when he was bored, he played with Andy who came to pester him.


    Andy, the little devil, climbed onto the sofa, turned around and sat down, his feet couldn''t reach the ground, but the bear''s words were down-to-earth: "Hey, Bruce, are you going to take my sister away?"


    An Feng teased him: "Of course, she is my wife. From now on, keep your eyes open and stop pestering her, otherwise I will fight you."


    Andy said old-fashionedly: "Oh, please! I don''t have a tendency to forget the year, and I am a dedicated person, and I already have a girlfriend."


    An Feng was amused.


    Seeing that he didn''t believe it, Andy stated the facts: "Her name is Gina, a very beautiful girl, you know, with blonde hair and a charming face. I spent two days at school and a strawberry to capture her heart."


    An Feng showed admiration: "You are amazing! When I was six or seven years old, I didn''t know the difference between a girl and me."


    Andy raised his head proudly: "Learn from me, women are hard to understand, you have to find a way to please her, give up your time watching the ball, and have to weave sweet words. Hey, men are too tired to live , you are not at my level, it is difficult to understand this kind of complicated mood."


    Joanna, who came over, heard it and said with a smile: "Don''t pay attention to him, he''s memorizing TV lines again. If he says Helen, it''s on FOX. If it''s Lulu, it''s on CBS. Of course, if it''s Gina, that''s true, but it''s been said a thousand times."


    Andy sighed: "The last one, don''t tell women everything easily, just now is a lesson. There are some things that we men can only communicate with each other."


    After finishing speaking, he stood up and patted An Feng on the shoulder, then jumped off the sofa and wandered to the restaurant.


    An Feng looked at this ostentatious child, dumbfounded, and said to Joanna: "If any family has such a child, it will definitely be very happy."


    Joanna shook her head: "If he gets into trouble, you''ll be annoyed."


    The dinner atmosphere was very relaxed. As parents, Frank and Kelly discussed future arrangements and life issues with the young couple at the dinner table. There are experience guidance for them, and there are also memories of past experiences, which can be regarded as the life experience of the predecessors, and there are places worth learning from.


    Then I asked about the wedding arrangement. According to Western customs, the woman��s family should be responsible for everything. This custom has a long history, and it came from Europe. The most classic is France. Every time the French royal family marries a daughter , In order to show the honor of the royal family, countless wealth was given as dowry... The queen gave birth to more and more, and the royal family was reduced to the point where they dared not marry their daughters again. The reason is that there is no money.


    This is a tortuous story about saving face... After hearing this, An Feng said, "Actually, I plan to let us be responsible for the expenses in this area."


    Kelly listened and shook her head: "This is a major event in Joanna''s life. Although it is different from ancient times, we should spend some money besides blessings."


    Joanna listened, and said: "Then share a part with each other, you prepare the family items, and we will choose the location and form."


    Continued to discuss some details, and then they agreed on this approach. It seems to be the same, but the cost of choosing a location can be high or low. According to An Feng''s consistent thinking, if he spends a sum of money unhappy, he will feel uncomfortable. He even hopes that Joanna will try "Local Bride".


    After finding out the picture, I made jokes for her for a long time.


    ��


    The next day, I packed my luggage and drove along Route 5 to Berkeley.


    It��s another autumn school season, and the campus is once again bustling as before. There are more vehicles coming and going on the quiet road, and a group of students dragging their luggage stroll along the roadside, chatting and laughing happily. An Feng slowed down the speed of the car, and slowly moved forward in the direction indicated by Joanna.


    There are veterans and newcomers mixed on campus. The veterans usually keep their heads down and are familiar with the surroundings, while the newcomers look left and right. From time to time, they are wooed by the propaganda organization of the fraternity or sorority to distribute a flyer... Green Onion Campus , An Feng feels so nostalgic.


    Joanna is familiar with registration and reporting. After arriving at the place, she relaxed and took the materials to report to her department organization. An Feng was in charge of acting cool, wearing sunglasses and leaning against the car door looking at passers-by boredly. If he added some poses, no one would suspect that he was a car model.


    After a while, Joanna came back with a happy face.


    "Hi, have you been approached?" Joanna asked with a smile. The new semester has a new atmosphere. She is wearing a brightly colored printed skirt, and her jewelry is just two diamond earrings, looking youthful.


    "Isn''t this the lady in front of you?" An Feng took off his sunglasses and put his arms around her waist, "This unknown lady, can I kiss you?"


    "But I don''t know you yet." Joanna''s big eyes were innocent.


    "Please forgive me for not being able to help myself." An Feng kissed her lightly on the lips, "Now I declare, beautiful lady, you are my prey."


    Laughter came from the side, the two turned their heads, Daisy and a white man were looking at them.


    "Hi, Daisy, long time no see!" Joanna went to hug her with a calm face. It was a coincidence that she continued to study here.


    Daisy let go of Joanna, looked at An Feng again, and said with a smile: "If I didn''t know, I thought you were going to stage a love at first sight melodrama."


    An Feng smiled slightly, and looked at the man beside her: "Daisy, who is this?"


    "My boyfriend!" Daisy took the hand of the man beside her and said sweetly: "I was stimulated by Joanna, and I posted sweetness on Twitter all day long!"


    Joanna smiled: "I''ll give you the chance."


    "My name is Harry, nice to meet you." Daisy''s boyfriend looks very sunny, and belongs to the kind of team captain that girls like.


    In comparison, An Feng is much calmer. Perhaps because of age and experience, the two have completely different styles, but they also fit the personalities of Joanna and Daisy. Joanna has a calm temperament. She likes the type of An Feng. Daisy Xi is more lively, and the captain of the team is more suitable for her.


    Actually...Harry is not the captain of the team. He is Daisy''s junior. An Feng asked Joanna to get in the car, walked slowly through the crowded road, and left the school.


    Driving across the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge and back to their holiday mansion in San Rafael, An Feng called the moving company and housekeeping service, which required an appointment��but it was fine to add money. The two companies came to the door quickly and started the service according to their requirements.


    The hostess was in charge of the house, and An Feng, who had nothing to do, sat on the small platform outside the house, surfing the Internet with his laptop. There was one last thing on his mind: the yacht. Now that there is a private dock, there is absolutely no shortage of yachts. He screened the ones that met his requirements on the website provided by Angela.


    Among the top ten yacht brands in the world, at least three are from Italy, so Italian yachts are famous all over the world, just like their famous Ferrari sports cars. In yachts, Riva, Faraday and Azimuth are all top-notch. Similarly, The supply is relatively large.


    This means available in stock.


    An Feng is now focusing on instant enjoyment, and has no patience to wait another year and a half. The spot that best meets his requirements is the spot. And according to the size of the canal and the wharf, it is not realistic to want a medium and large yacht like Roger last time, because its length alone exceeds the wharf.


    You can only choose a smaller one. In fact, it doesn��t matter if it��s smaller. Medium and large yachts generally need to hire a driver. In order to enjoy it, they also need a chef. For small and medium-sized ones, you can drive them yourself.


    The yacht driver''s license is not difficult, much easier than a car, and can be obtained in ten days. With An Feng''s learning ability, it can be done in four or five days at most. A yacht that is too big is difficult to drive, a smaller one is no problem, and you can enjoy a complete two-person world. Now they are playing Sweet Life After Marriage.


    Based on the actual situation, after experiencing the luxury of Azimuth last time, I am very yearning, but it usually sells yachts that are more than 30 meters long, which are too big and inconvenient to dock. The canal is only 40 meters wide. It will be very troublesome for novices to turn around when the yacht is lowered for a few meters.


    Riva has a boat that meets An Feng''s choice, and it is known as the "Rolls-Royce" of yachts. Feng looked down full of joy, it was good, but there was no stock.


    Sure enough, everyone will grab all the good things. After a little more thought, I stopped focusing on Italian yachts and looked at British ones. There are also many famous brands in the UK, such as Princess, and the small and medium-sized yachts in the V series are also luxurious.


    He took a fancy to an ivory white yacht of the princess, about 15 meters long, fast, flexible and spacious, equipped with a teak table, a bar and a U-shaped sofa, a large bed in the lower living area, an office area, a kitchen and a heated shower room . The upper front deck can accommodate three people sunbathing, and there is a large teak platform at the stern, which is the most suitable place to sit on, soak your feet in the sea water, and snuggle up to each other to enjoy the sunset over San Francisco Bay.


    The most important point is that it is in stock, and the price is not too high. Because some personalized decorations are added to the stock, the price is 520,000 US dollars, and it will be delivered within five days. The conditions are so good, only 520,000, An Feng dialed the phone without hesitation and contacted the dealer.


    Looking up at the sea in the distance, I always feel a little less... Motorboat, yes, it is a motorboat! Yachts are generally equipped with a tow hook, which can pull a smaller two-person motorboat out to sea, so that you can get closer to the sea water and play more freely. After thinking about it, I went to order a motorboat.


    After finishing, he stretched his waist and sighed: "It''s really not easy to spend some money."

 Chapter 135： Joy of life [third update]

    Chapter 135 Joy of life [third update]


    An Feng''s words are purely outrageous. He has been spending money very fast recently, and the account expenditure details are simply running water. His American Express bank account has received 1.26 billion U.S. dollars, and he has returned a bank loan of 100 million, and then the trip to Europe. The process is to play the most high-end, with a total expenditure of 7 million.


    Nearly 1.1 billion is left, 3.2 million for real estate and 520,000 for yachts. It is estimated that the cruise ship will spend 600 million this year, and the racing track will first invest 200 million. In the end, there will be almost 300 million left. According to the calculations given to him by private accountant Hardy Accounts, business expenses and investments can all be deducted, but there is a limit for personal expenses.


    The rest of the money, if there is no other investment or business operating expenses, the high personal tax will be paid, which is about 100 million��if An Feng intends to spend the whole time privately. So tax avoidance expert Hardy asked him to set aside 100 million in his consumption plan, so as not to forget.


    Individuals can freely dispose of 200 million yuan, and it will last until June next year. According to the stipulations of the contract, Party B will pay Anfeng 1.26 billion contract payment and 770 million offshore account at the end of June. In addition, pay him 14% of the net sales profit in January of the following year, and repeat this four times before the money can be settled.


    But An Feng��s extravagance also has his own little calculations. The Amex account has no money, but GP International��s offshore account still has more than 700 million US dollars. But there is a disadvantage of the company account, you can only use it for large consumption, those trivial life, if you use the company account to buy a catty of pork... Hehe. If you are really bare haired, you can mortgage... your property in exchange for money. No matter what, he doesn''t have any pressure to spend money randomly...


    After arranging things, Joanna came to him and sat on his lap habitually: "It''s a lot of trouble, but I finally got things done."


    An Feng smiled: "Is this a kind of joyful worry?"


    Joanna also smiled: "Well, I enjoy the fun of setting up the family, especially when I think that we will have this warm little nest to ourselves, my heart melts."


    An Feng kissed her on the cheek, and then asked: "Do you think we have anything missing?"


    Joanna complained: "Of course! Think about your arbitrariness last time? You left all our luggage in Europe!"


    An Feng said: "It doesn''t matter, don''t San Francisco also have wardrobes?"


    Then the people from the housekeeping service company came down to clean up, and they drove to downtown San Francisco to go shopping and sweep up department stores. Although Joanna tends to be more formal in the choice of clothing, she also pursues trends and high-quality goods in underwear and other brands, just like ladies. There is a saying that whether a woman treats herself well depends not only on her appearance, but also on her underwear. Even if not everyone can see it.


    An Feng was very honored, and Joanna took him to a lady''s underwear store. The noodles she chooses are all brands made in France or Italy, and there is nothing special about them, just a few pieces of cloth, and the price is astonishing. This is mostly a brand effect, and the ladies are responsible for vying for it. No wonder it is said that women''s clothing is easy to make money, especially in the underwear industry. Basically, what they consider is style rather than price.


    An Feng had no objection at all. He wished he could wear the most expensive things in the world on her body. Unfortunately, that would only make her look like a nouveau riche, which was the most unbearable for Joanna. Clothes can be cheap, but they can��t No taste. That''s why she was very careful, and frequently asked An Feng''s opinions. In addition, she was young and beautiful, with a superb figure, so that other men who accompanied women to shop kept paying attention to her.


    An Feng was rather elated. Comparing the other Yanmas with Joanna, he found that either his figure was not good enough or he was too vulgar. He was no match in any aspect... Joanna, who was walking in front, turned back, hugged his arm and whispered in his ear: "I saw a very hot set just now."


    "Huh?" An Feng looked at her.


    "Passionate fiery red, with lace = silk, mature and unrestrained, faintly visible, it will feel very good." Joanna described in a low voice.


    An Feng thought about it, and swallowed: "I like it. I like to pinch your ass."


    Joanna complained: "No wonder I use so much force every time."


    An Feng looked up and looked around: "This is a public place."


    Joanna blushed: "It''s all your fault."


    Facts have proved that two people have been together for a long time, and it is easy to influence each other. Joanna was very serious at first. When she first got married, she was only allowed to use one posture at a time, but An Feng gradually changed her. What he said was like playing a game to unlock rewards... Most obviously, after the trip to Europe, her joyful voice changed from gritting her teeth to release with vocals.


    However, this is limited to a secret occasion with only two people. On the surface, she is still that unattainable rich lady, the wife of a billionaire. An Feng was actually secretly happy in his heart, because usually noble and glamorous ladies only showed their charming side in front of him.


    An Feng said: "It doesn''t matter, you are my wife, who dares to laugh at you?"


    "Then I''ll let them wrap it up." Joanna lightly dragged him to the counter.


    An Feng watched the salesperson deftly put the private clothes Joanna chose into the packaging bags. There were quite a few patterns, black and red, profligate and conservative, and even a small thread. An Feng glanced at her, but he was very serious, no one could guess what she was thinking.


    After coming out with the packing bag, Joanna pointed to their next stop: "There are still some cosmetics and perfumes, which were thrown in Europe last time."


    "Okay, ma''am." An Feng drove in with her.


    ��


    Joanna''s rest weekend made him so happy that he had endless aftertaste. He never thought that a woman who fell in love had such great potential and charm. But when it was time to formally enroll, An Feng admired how she dressed herself up as a glamorous and noble model. According to her, the senior sister had to take the lead.


    "Help me choose a necklace." Joanna said, sitting in front of the dresser.


    An Feng looked at her jewelry box, which was also classified into necklaces, earrings, bracelets, brooches and rings. It was full, which was also the result of the European tour. He took a Tiffany rose gold heart-shaped necklace, looked at the confident woman in the mirror, put it on her gently, and kissed her cheek.


    "How does it look?" She turned around.


    "It''s beautiful!" An Feng praised, "Should I take off the wedding ring and give college boys something to look forward to?"


    "No, I belong to you." Joanna touched the wedding ring with a happy face.


    An Feng bowed and stretched out his hand to her: "The most expensive lady, the loyal servant who is irresistible to your beauty now wants to invite you to the car, may I have the honor?"


    "Of course, my favorite servant." Joanna cooperated with him, gave him her hand to hold, and smiled: "The French are so disgusting."


    An Feng led her downstairs: "It''s still simple, next time I will tell you in French, so that you can experience the secrets of the authentic servant and lady."


    "Haha!" Joanna couldn''t help laughing, "Don''t do this, it feels so strange."


    An Feng opened the passenger car door for her, and asked Joanna to go up: "Okay, that''s something between the castle knight and the lady whose husband is out to fight."


    She lifted her skirt, turned around and said: "The rhythm of the story is getting weirder and weirder."


    An Feng smiled: "If it''s a secret between the female knight of the castle and the male nobleman whose wife went out to fight, it will be even more strange for you who follow the version."


    "Nonsense, I didn''t mean it!" Joanna took the handbag he handed over.


    "Be careful with the skirt." An Feng reminded her, and then closed the car door.


    He got into the car on the other side, started the car, and said, "So, the first version was very good, let''s go back and rehearse it, and do this play next week."


    "Don''t!" Joanna protested, "It should be the story of the noblewoman of the castle forcing her back with a sharp sword, and finally saving Prince Charming."


    "Am I messed up?" An Feng sadly turned the car onto the highway.


    "Don''t you like being a prince?" Joanna looked at him.


    "I always feel that I am quite talented in playing negative roles." An Feng said with a smile, "Of course, if the noblewoman finally kisses the prince awake, I will accept it."


    Chatting about the joy of life all the way, I came to Berkeley.


    Stopped in front of the teaching building where the first class was held, the customary gentleman opened the door for her, and gave her a hand to get off the car. He said: "I have something to do at noon, and I will pick you up in the afternoon."


    Joanna said very understandingly: "It''s okay, I will take care of lunch by myself, and I just have an appointment with Daisy."


    "Take care of yourself." An Feng instructed.


    "You too, watch your diet and don''t starve." Joanna kissed him goodbye.


    An Feng drove Aurora to the airport and stopped, then boarded the helicopter through the VIP channel and flew to Los Angeles. Last night, I received a notice from Mike Case, an expert at the research center, saying that there was a breakthrough in the comprehensive method of exterminating cancer cells, but I couldn''t grasp some details, so I wanted to discuss it with An Feng.


    After reading their report, An Feng found that 99% of the comprehensive method of Case''s team had been completed, and only a few small details were needed to produce results that shocked the world.

 Chapter 136： research breakthrough

    Chapter 136 Research Breakthrough


    (312 votes...)


    ��


    The direct flight to Los Angeles is a bit far away, but I am too lazy to take a flight again. I would rather spend a little longer and enjoy free space than take a regular flight.


    He has considered that it is best to use a fixed wing for a flight of more than 300 kilometers, and the current funds are still abundant.


    Fixed-wing is naturally not a single-engine type. Anfeng only looks for luxury business jets, but business jets are not in stock. If you want to buy them, you can order new ones or buy second-hand ones. There is no problem with ordering, but there is a problem with time; and although second-hand has been used, it is good to pay as you go.


    There are still two years before the delivery of Anfeng''s customized Global 8000. He can''t wait now. He simply buys a second-hand business jet first, not an intercontinental one. It is fine if it can fly within the United States. The flight range requires more than 5,000 kilometers. , luxury is inevitable... I checked it with my mobile phone, and there are many. This is also because of the large number of private jets in the United States, which promotes the prosperity of the second-hand market.


    The price of a business jet with a flight range of 5,000 to 6,000 kilometers is not high, even if it is brand new, it is only more than 30 million yuan, and a second-hand one can be obtained in the early 20 million yuan. Seeing the pictures taken, they are no different from the new ones... After An Feng saw the pictures of several popular models, his mouth watered again.


    More than 20 million yuan is not a big problem for him, because this year''s unplanned money, there is still 200 million unplanned. No plan means freedom. Of course, part of the money is Joanna''s wardrobe key... Thinking about it frequently in the future It is more than 600 kilometers from San Francisco to Los Angeles.


    As a rule, as long as An Feng is interested in something, even if money is tight, he can find a lot of reasons to convince himself. It��s the same this time. No matter how you think about it, buying a business jet is much more convenient than not buying one. Wouldn��t it be more convenient to travel to the United States in the future? Joanna wants to watch a musical or something, so she doesn''t need to book a plane ticket. She directly calls the business jet to the sky, in Los Angeles in the morning and in New York in the afternoon.


    "Buy!" An Feng slapped his thigh and decided.


    ��


    This time the helicopter flew very far, more than 600 kilometers almost consumed the fuel in the main and auxiliary fuel tanks, and even the skilled Fred was sweating. Fortunately, when he landed on the apron on the roof of the research center, the fuel had not reached the alert Wire. After the plane landed smoothly, Fred was relieved.


    An Feng got off the plane, after waiting for so long, he finally got a chance to make a big deal. Don''t stop at the airport, but stop on the roof of his own building! He took the elevator downstairs in a chic manner, and went directly to the floor where the cell group was located. He shook hands with Dr. Keith and his colleagues who had been waiting for a long time, and exchanged a few pleasantries.


    No nonsense, straight to the point.


    Generally, they listen to what An Feng says and understand it by themselves.


    An Feng''s talent made them admire him. There is a saying that when a person surpasses you by a large margin, jealousy will disappear, and the only thing left is admiration.


    At first they didn''t understand why An Feng didn''t do it himself, but later they figured it out. He has the brains of a scientist, but he has a heart of luxury and enjoyment.


    An Feng asked while walking: "Is it because physical therapy makes mistakes in targeting different individuals and symptoms?"


    Case admired An Feng''s sharp point: "This is where we are trapped. Some test subjects can succeed, but some can''t find the trick."


    "Simple." An Feng said confidently, "Prepare the equipment and test subjects, pay attention to memorize every process I dealt with."


    After An Feng changed into a special lab coat, he led the team into the laboratory.


    I didn��t come out until the afternoon. If Joanna hadn��t called him on the way, I would have really forgotten to eat. After listening to her caring reproach, I took a short break and left those experts who simply swallowed a few mouthfuls of bread and fruit Organize your thoughts. Look at the coffee cups on the table, they are all dusty, yet Case can still take a sip calmly... An Feng was speechless, turned his back to them to eat in order to maintain his appetite.


    After a half-hour break, continue working. Although An Feng is lazy, he is very efficient in his work. If he hadn''t been a "primary school teacher", his speed would have been faster - but it would also make them ignore the details. Medicine is something that should never be careless. Although An Feng likes to be lazy, he has a sense of responsibility.


    It lasted until more than six o''clock in the afternoon, and An Feng walked out of the laboratory with a sigh of relief. Under his guidance, comprehensive physical therapy has been very successful and perfectly solved the current difficulties.


    Go back to the office to change clothes and check the time on the phone. It��s past six o��clock. I��m afraid she��s late for picking up Joanna.


    But Joanna surprised him: she came by herself. She didn''t even eat dinner, booked a flight ticket, flew to Los Angeles first, and then drove to the research center. When he saw her, An Feng hugged her and was moved for a long time. This is what his wife would do, not just him paying for his feelings.


    ��


    Work continued on the second day, and some details had to be dealt with. Joanna went back to school. The two-year MBA study arrangement is not too much, unlike the one-year one, almost living like a high school student. But she had arrangements on Monday and Tuesday morning, so she took the plane arranged by An Feng to go back.


    This strengthened his determination to buy a business jet for transportation.


    Today is mainly finishing work, and pointed out some details about confidentiality. The research and development for the benefit of mankind is not over yet. This is just a personalized therapy, not a drug. This method is very expensive, and different patients need to be formulated differently treatment plan.


    Comprehensive personalized therapy cannot be popularized, only anticancer drugs can do it.


    That is to say, each patient has a unique treatment method, and the harsh conditions mean that only a small number of wealthy people can receive the treatment. If it wants to truly popularize the drug, it depends on when the drug research and development of the Case team will be completed. But that being said, a breakthrough is a success.


    The Case team made time to celebrate. At the same time, An Feng notified Mrs. Sinclair in Texas. This was definitely good news for her.


    The cost of comprehensive therapy is high, but for the rich who are eager for life, it is nothing more than a check and a few zeros. Mrs. Sinclair''s voice when answering the phone was as calm as ever, and she even made a joke, but An Feng could hear the excitement in her tone. Being able to live comfortably would make anyone excited.


    In addition to confidentiality work, the next step is to recruit volunteers. Whether cancer can be cured, you have to come up with one or two examples that can stand the test. However, the combination therapy worked quickly, and it took almost two weeks to return to normal, and the existence of cancer cells could no longer be detected.


    There are still many steps in the specific operation, most of which are commercial operations. There is a special person to handle this aspect. An Feng''s work as a technology developer has temporarily ended. Let Keith take care of the drug research... From the perspective of the businessman''s interests, it is too fast. Not good. Because comprehensive therapy is expensive, but the profit is also high, and those who can afford it are rich people, and they can earn money for one treatment, so it is easy to recover the cost of research and development.


    After those rich people have spent a lot of money to cure themselves, the civilian drug will be slowly introduced... An Feng thinks the idea is good, there is still some time before the drug is released, why not make more money now? What he earns is also the money of the rich, so he has no pressure at all.


    ��


    After thinking about money, An Feng sat quietly on the swivel chair in the office, thinking about things with his chin resting on his hands. This time his operation was very skilled, without hesitation. Because the content of the machine brain is richer, the operation is also imprinted in the mind like instinct, and it only needs to be mobilized to allow the body to execute it.


    The repair of the machine brain has reached 25%, almost all the entries have been translated, and the relatively simple content in front can also be browsed. How should I put it...there are countless, ranging from the extremely small quantum world to the vast universe. It can be said that you know astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom.


    As long as it involves high technology, it is an existence that changes the world, but even he finds the method complicated, and it doesn''t mean that it will be successful if it is used. First of all, the basic technology is not good, the materials cannot keep up, and the theory is not perfect. The scientific and technological foundation of human beings is still very embarrassing for the advanced technology in An Feng''s head.


    Besides, An Feng has little interest in learning. He only thinks about making money and enjoying himself. The so-called "Superstring Theory", "M Theory" and "Grand Unification Theory" are of little significance to him. How would it help him to be able to unlock the secrets of the celestial bodies of the universe? No, and it''s a headache to explain!


    He flipped through the hard-to-understand knowledge in it, and is currently only interested in intelligent robots-this is not based on the concept of money.


    Last time he arranged for John to find a venue and find a manpower, but there is still no news...


    An Feng is indeed curious about highly intelligent robots, which can allow robots to replace humans to work in various harsh environments, such as earthquake relief, fire scenes, mine transportation, etc. There are also some purely cute machines that can "understand human nature" "I''ve been arguing with you all day.


    However, to manufacture robots, there are strict requirements on the basic technology. If there is a certain amount of intelligence, the current chips of human beings cannot meet the requirements. Graphene can, but it has to wait.


    Current machine tools are not good enough. For some parts with complex structures, the speed of 3D printers will be faster. For energy supply, super batteries are the best option.


    "It''s too complicated." An Feng sighed, the simple ones don''t make sense, and the complicated ones are hard for humans to figure out. After all, it is more affordable to sleep.


    Maybe we have to wait until the robotics company is established, and let those domain experts torture brain cells.


    An Feng happens to be good at throwing work to others.


    In addition to research and development, he has always been puzzled, why did these advanced technologies designate himself?


    Who the hell? Or some kind of power that travels through time and space, stuffing super technology into his mind? After much deliberation, isn''t he the best candidate?


    First of all, he is very lazy. After obtaining this bunch of technologies, the ambitious person must be planning to control the world and become the world''s leader, but he has no idea at all. And the philanthropist gets it, which is to find ways to benefit mankind and build a better world, but he is not very interested.


    Whether it is ambition or benevolence, he has nothing to do with him. He is just an ordinary member among thousands of people. He loves to enjoy life and loves family.


    Could it be that the other party really liked his indifferent attitude towards the world?


    how can that be possible!

 Chapter 137： Chic life

    Chapter 137 Chic life


    After frequent trips between Los Angeles and San Francisco for a few days, the affairs of the research center have basically been dealt with. As for the procedures required for recruiting volunteers, or the licenses required to practice medicine... These are all things that director Joseph Hart should consider. It just so happens that the research center used to do it often These.


    After that, An Feng took the time to talk with the immigration agency.


    The immigration agency is looking forward to this great god. An assistant has come to make an appointment a long time ago, but he has been busy with official business. The appointment is basically delayed again and again. Other people have already been passed, but this person is different. Missed once , he just made up for that expense, and there was no complaint at all.


    After An Feng took his seat, the question was simple: "What are the advantages?"


    The intermediary said: "St. Kitts and Nevis is a famous offshore financial center and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. Citizens can freely enter and exit the Commonwealth of Nations and enjoy visa-free treatment from European and North American countries... There is no local personal tax and business tax , value-added tax, income tax exemption for 15 years, many advantages.��


    An Feng asked what he cared about: "How long will it take to get the passport at the earliest?"


    The intermediary smiled and said: "It depends on your investment. We happen to be familiar with some officials of the country''s immigration bureau. If we increase the price appropriately, we can arrange you in front and enjoy better treatment. An additional 500,000 US dollars will be spent. Citizenship and passport can be obtained within two months at the earliest.��


    An Feng understands, it turns out that proper "investment" in officials can make him faster. However, he likes things that can be done with money: "If it can be done within two months, excluding the necessary investment funds, and the officials''... emotional expenses. I will also pay you extra."


    The intermediary was overjoyed: "Thank you sir, we will do our best to do it."


    An Feng said: "Call my personal assistant in the future."


    After taking down the materials that need to be prepared, An Feng left, and he said to go to the next stop: the Porsche sales center in Beverly Hills. A long time ago, more than a year ago, An Feng ordered a limited edition Porsche 918 sports car through Roger''s relationship, and now it has arrived.


    It took a year and two months. Anyway, An Feng almost forgot about its existence. He didn��t remember that he still had a sports car until the person from the sales center called him yesterday to say that he could come to pick up the car. Gu Li drove him to the car. When we arrived at the destination, we got off the car and identified ourselves, and saw the sports car.


    Silver Porsches are very rare, and they mostly appear on flagships, such as the Carrera GT, the successor 918, etc., and others such as 911, Cayman, etc. Adding silver is not harmonious... An Feng has to make himself feel that it is unique, In order to satisfy the heart of boredom = coquettish.


    Although the 918 is eclipsed in the face of powerful rivals McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari, it does not prevent it from becoming a classic representative of a futuristic sports car. It is definitely the most sci-fi among the three beasts, and its silver color is like an alien monster. Its exhaust pipe design breaks through the tradition. It is not at the rear of the car, nor on the side, but on the top of the rear engine compartment. Two dark pipes are located directly behind the driver''s head.


    It is also a hard-top convertible sports car. When driving, the roof can be removed to welcome the sea breeze and the bright California sunshine... An Feng drove the car back, with sunglasses on his nose, accelerated and slowed down all the way, overtaking and grabbing lanes, so majestic. The shape of the sports car is amazing, and the rate of turning heads is super high.


    ��


    There are always a lot of things on his body, but An Feng still spares enough personal time. The money is enough, although it is not enough for him to spend it unscrupulously, but he is easy to be content, especially when he has a lover, he tells himself that the focus of life should be the family.


    The current focus of work is on wedding preparations. In fact, you can be lazy in this area. He specially hired a professional team and told them his requirements and cost standards. The professional planners will design a plan, and he only needs to choose the most satisfactory one. Then there is the payment.


    Other than that, it��s just leisure and enjoyment.


    San Rafael is different from an empty vineyard. There is only one family within one or two kilometers of the vineyard. It is suitable for vacation, but it will feel too deserted after staying for a long time. Here, there are neighbors on both sides, and the houses are built along the street. Pedestrians and vehicles are often seen passing by, adding a bit of urban hustle and bustle.


    When there is life and is not too noisy, this kind of environment is very suitable for living. An Feng is living a chic life, a beautiful woman with a luxury car, what else is he missing? Airplanes and yachts. The yacht has arrived, and Joanna likes it very much. He plans to pass the driving test as soon as possible and take her out to play in the sea.


    Finally, the plane remains.


    Recommended by Angela, An Feng took a fancy to a "Citation X" model produced by Cessna. Cessna is an American light aircraft manufacturing giant, and the Citation X is the aircraft they are most satisfied with. The most important thing is the speed, which can reach a maximum of 1100 kilometers per hour, which is close to the speed of sound, which means that if you fly at full speed, it will only take more than two hours from San Francisco to Austin, saving more than an hour than usual. Its maximum range reaches 6,000 kilometers, and it can fly all over the United States, even Alaska.


    An Feng felt that the only shortcoming was that it was a little small.


    But it is definitely more comfortable than the first-class cabin of civil aviation. It can accommodate 8-10 passengers. The sofa bar and dining room are also indispensable. There are also luxurious toilets and kitchens. You can hold a meeting in the office area if you have nothing to do. An Feng took a look around and took a test ride. He felt that it was okay, and the price was 20 million U.S. dollars.


    The original price is only more than 23 million. Obviously it is still very new. The agent claims that it is new in the 9th Five-Year Plan. A local tyrant has only used it a few times. He thinks the speed is fast, but it can��t fit his big bed and swimming pool��An Feng vomited when he heard this. . It is exaggerated to install a swimming pool in a business jet. You have to modify a large passenger jet, right?


    After much consideration, An Feng still decided to buy it. The aircraft is slightly smaller, but that has the advantage of being nimbler, less demanding, and able to use more airports. As far as he knows, there are two airports near San Rafael, the nearest one is only ten kilometers away, so it is very convenient to go to and from.


    After the trial run in the morning, sign the contract. When he got home at noon, he drove the 918 out again, removed the roof, took off his coat, and wore a white shirt and sunglasses, which seemed pretentious, but when passers-by frequently paid attention to him and the sports car, he felt that It has to be like this.


    He drove the car to Berkeley without any low profile. When he arrived, get out of class was just over. There were many students on the road, and everyone''s attention was focused on the car and people. Boys generally look at cars, and millions of limited-edition sports cars are rare anywhere; while girls look at people, An Feng''s shape is specially designed, what clothes to wear, what hair to wear, and the fit body that has been trained for a long time make him Extraordinary temperament.


    Seeing Joanna walking slowly from the crowd, An Feng got off the car. She walked side by side with several girls during the conversation, with a friendly smile on her face, her hair tied, and her appearance in a dress, even if she didn''t deliberately express it, there was still a specialness that stood out from the crowd and could not be ignored.


    A few gossip girls who slowed down nearby muttered: "Don''t tell me they are boyfriend and girlfriend."


    It turned out to be true, even married... An Feng waited for her to say goodbye to her friend, stepped forward to hug, kissed the cheek, and opened the car door for her in a very gentlemanly way, asking her to sit in. It should be a little bit sweeter. Slowly leave with the low sound of the engine. Only the jealousy of gossip girls remains.


    An Feng didn''t know the effect of being a model husband. On the way, he asked, "What do you want to eat?"


    Joanna said: "I''m not hungry, I''m tired of eating in restaurants, why not go to Fisherman''s Wharf?"


    "Okay." An Feng smiled and turned around in front of him.


    After a seafood lunch, I went shopping with her on the streets of San Francisco, and then got in the car to go home, crossing the Golden Gate Bridge in the wind, and driving north, with beautiful scenery along the way.


    When I got home, I had nothing to do in the afternoon. After taking a nap in the shade of the trees in the yard with her in my arms, I was woken up by her: "Shall we rehearse the dance?"


    "What type?" An Feng asked.


    "Wedding, court dance." Joanna turned over and looked at him, "After the wedding ceremony is over, and before the main meal begins, the couple will perform a dance."


    An Feng knew that court dance is modern dance, and there are many types. He asked, "Which one are you good at?"


    "I can do fast and slow waltz, tango, foxtrot and quick step." Joanna said a little proudly, not surprising, it''s determined by her background.


    "Choose the easiest one for me." An Feng said.


    "You''re so lazy," Joanna said.


    "Then choose the most elegant and easiest."


    Joanna smiled: "Just waltz, slow."


    The elegant waltz in the court dance is a three-step dance. It dances one step at a time. Most of the process involves hugging each other and turning around the whole court. Letting the skirts of women fly is the focus of whether men think they look good or not. It''s not a test of dancing skills for beginners-because you have to ensure that you can still recognize the direction after turning around.


    An Feng learned everything very quickly. After he didn''t get dizzy, he began to pay attention to skills. With the ups and downs of the beat, he went up and down continuously, with proper tilting, swinging, turning and spinning... getting better, Joanna Said she had never seen a beginner who could master it so quickly.

    Chapter 138 Aegis Security Defense

    ��


    While An Feng is enjoying the fun of life, his employees are busy.


    Before the two traveled to Europe, An Feng asked John to assist Gu Li in finding a security company. The progress was very slow. As the boss, An Feng left with a word, but the employees were doomed to get up late. Guli is still very picky, he hopes to find a company with development potential and cost-effective.


    After retiring from the army, Guri worked in a Russian private security company and served as a member of a special service team. The level of contact was very complicated, and he was active in the southern Chechen Republic and the border of Eastern Ukraine, which continued to be turbulent. An Feng believed that he was a part-time mercenary, but this guy refused to admit it.


    Later, because of his outstanding performance, Guri was sent by the company to the Israel International Security Academy for training. He has a good foundation, has served in the army, has seen the battlefield, has received formal bodyguard training, and has stayed in top schools. His skills are outstanding, so he has a unique vision��and it also means picky.


    Small security companies are easy to find, because everyone in a developing company hopes to get an investment, but Guli can''t see many bright spots in small companies. The old ways of training are out of date.


    He expanded the scope a bit. Considering the nature of An Feng''s work and the environment in the United States, he thinks that troubles are inevitable. make him dazed? It''s not his job.


    The expansion of the scope also means that An Feng''s investment will increase, but Gu Li feels that between life safety and money, he will choose the former. Now that he invests more, is it worth saving a life at a critical moment? After relaxing the conditions, there are more choices, and some medium and large companies have also entered the field of vision.


    Then he found a security company called "Aegis Security and Defense", whose headquarters and training base are located in Arizona, with branches in the east and west, mainly engaged in personnel security and item security. Personnel security is mostly short-term or long-term bodyguard work; and object security is the custody of valuables, or contracted defense work for luxury exhibitions, and the business is mostly concentrated in California.


    After all, California is very wealthy, with a large proportion of rich people. Businesses such as bodyguards are luxury consumption, and the market in California is very large. The company has contracted long-term and short-term bodyguards for some celebrities, and security work for some jewelry exhibitions. It has a good reputation in the local area and currently plans to expand.


    The company''s capital is 60 million US dollars, which is considered a large enterprise-compared to the world-famous MPRI, Dane International, etc., the funds are a bit small, but if the authentic bodyguard industry is in the protection of personnel and objects, PMC (private military contracting) is not involved. In terms of business, the giants are no different from them.


    Because Aegis Security does not involve PMC business, they do not do business of fighting and killing abroad, maybe there will be in the future, because this is the only way to develop and grow, but now they only operate civilian security work, so they focus on making them excellent , which also meets Guli''s requirements.


    Gu Li got in touch with An Feng on the phone and talked about some advantages, disadvantages and potential.


    Gu Li spoke very professionally, but An Feng''s words were very simple: "How much?"


    This was expected earlier, Gu Li said: "Your assistant has calculated that investing about 80 million funds can obtain the control of the company, which is 51% of the shares."


    An Feng said straightforwardly: "Then go to the negotiation, let me know when you get it, and congratulations, buddy! You will be a supervisor in the future!"


    After chatting for a few words, Gu Li smiled and hung up the phone. This guy is so easy to get along with. You said that he lives a luxurious life and spends money like running water. But he doesn''t have the temper of a gentleman, and it''s easy to get along with all kinds of characters.


    Guli informed John of the matter, and John brought in Hardy, who had nothing to do. Due to the transfer of Tailan Company, their current office is located in the research center, which is very close, and they also provide private services for Anfeng. Naturally To build a good relationship, so very harmonious.


    After researching each other, we all think that the price can be lowered a little bit. The boss does not need to buy new shares at a high price. He can consider exchanging some money from some shareholders... Everyone provides ideas to each other and thinks about it. I am really sorry for my rich man if I don��t use my brain. high class salaries.


    ��


    A few days later, An Feng received a notice from John.


    It is said that the negotiations are almost over, and the shareholders of Aegis Security and Defense Company agreed to inject 78 million funds in exchange for 51% of the shares, which is a bit lower than the expected price. There is a lot of competition in the security field these days, and they can''t make much money a year - An Feng doesn''t pay much attention to this.


    He didn''t even think about how much money these companies could make him. His biggest wish was to be able to be responsible for his own profits and losses, so he didn''t have to send money in every year. It is equivalent to an armed force in your hands. With thousands of guys who are good at holding guns, who dares to mess around?


    This time, he took his Cessna business jet and flew to Los Angeles first.


    Landed at Santa Monica Airport and picked up several of his assistants and lawyers.


    On the plane, Gu Li talked about his communication with the boss of the other company. It was a bit difficult to understand the professional aspects, but it was clear that Gu Li affirmed the other party.


    In less than an hour, the plane landed in Phoenix, Arizona. When I got off the plane, I saw three tall black SUVs parked in front of me. The men who came to pick me up were all big and thick men, all wearing black suits with ear rings around their ears. Vacuum headset, very imposing.


    No nonsense, open the door for him, An Feng gets in the car, and the convoy leaves.


    The three cars have the same shape and maintain a constant speed all the way. An Feng is in the middle, and the front and rear cars are separated by a certain distance. There is enough braking distance, but other cars cannot be cut in. Gu Li saw the way, this is to show the boss their security technology.


    Gu Li commented: "If you really want to protect VIPs, there is no need to drive three identical cars. It is too high-profile, and people will know that there are people inside. If it were me, I would put VIPs in a broken advertising car Here, keep a low profile and follow around the bodyguard convoy to ensure that it will be better."


    An Feng was speechless: "Fortunately, I didn''t promise to buy you an MPV at the beginning."


    ��


    After driving for about 20 minutes to the city, the convoy stopped in front of a five-story building. A man in a black suit at the door stepped forward and opened the door, with his body blocking him. walk away quickly. An Feng knew that they were showing off their skills, so he cooperated very well.


    Walking into the elevator, Anfeng is in the middle, surrounded by bodyguards. They press the elevator door close button first, and then choose the floor. There is also a lot of attention.


    The elevator arrived, the job was changed, and the FBI in black suits came to the door of the boss''s office. Finally, he knocked on the door and invited him in. Inside, a man in his early fifties in a suit and shirt stood up. He is middle-aged, but he is still burly, without any bloat.


    "Hello, Mr. An, I''m Jason Mensek." The other party shook hands with him.


    An Feng smiled: "Hello, Mr. Mensek."


    "Everyone, please sit down." Mensek asked them to sit down, and then came to sit opposite An Feng. His demeanor revealed the demeanor of a soldier. He used to be a soldier.


    But after sitting down, An Feng had nothing to do.


    John is very good at business; Guri is very good at security. Today is exactly the purpose of these two. An Feng felt bored after hearing them talking a lot, so he looked around the office. Aegis Security has their trademark: a shield with a black and red prismatic pattern in the center.


    Recalling the logo on the collars of other security employees just now, it is also this black and red shield. It seems that the company pays great attention to details. Maybe it can be used as the company''s logo in the future, and then a special uniform is designed. When operating overseas Just revealed his identity... An Feng was thinking too much.


    After talking about some things, they went to visit the training base on the outskirts of the company. The land in Arizona is very cheap, and part of it is a desert area, where no plants can be grown. However, the local hunting grounds are very vast. Because the land is cheap, the company''s base has Thousands of acres.


    The company has more than 1,000 employees, including more than 600 security employees, most of whom are retired soldiers. Because Mensek used to serve in the US Army and was a school officer when he retired, he has some contacts. Due to the small number of people, their training is more comprehensive.


    After watching some fighting, shooting and professional defense exercises, An Feng and Gu Li sat together: "Do you think it''s worth the investment?"


    Guri nodded: "Mensek pays attention to keeping pace with the times. I have watched some of their training courses, and it is also advisable. Only a few aspects need to be improved..."


    Gu Li seemed satisfied, and with the attitude of a professional, An Feng decided to buy it.


    The final transaction price was US$78 million, 51% of the shares were purchased in the name of GP International, and the payment was made with an offshore company account. An Feng acted as an insignificant middleman from the beginning to the end, but he controlled the GP company, so it was equivalent to indirectly controlling Aegis Security.


    Finally, the registered capital of the company reached 138 million, and it would be no problem to double the size.


    After getting the shield down, he discussed some plans with Mensek, but An Feng''s regulations were not clear, but Gu Li was very good at the development of the industry, and An Feng later appointed him as the company''s general counsel. To exercise authority on behalf of oneself and provide management advice.


    When he went back, Gu Li chose to stay in the local area. He was really about to get moldy. In the past, An Feng was often in the vineyard. It was okay to say that he could guide An Feng to do some training, but after An Feng and Joanna got married, they ran to San La Phil lived in a world of two, and he could only dangle around all day long.


    Guli sent him to the airport, listening to An Feng''s orders on the way.


    An Feng said: "You can safely participate in the management of the company on my behalf. As long as it is not a major event, you can handle the rest according to your own needs, and you don''t need to report to me."


    Guri asked: "What is a big deal?"


    An Feng thought for a while: "Selling the company is a big deal."


    Guri: ������


    He promised An Feng: "Give me some time to train a group of professional teams for you, and if there is something like last time, we will kill them directly!"


    An Feng: "..."


    After arriving at the airport, An Feng got off the car and hugged Gu Li: "Good luck, buddy!"

 Chapter 139： Reception invitation

    Chapter 139 Reception invitation


    Two days after returning to San Rafael, another news from John came.


    This time it''s the robot company''s problem.


    John is very busy recently. An Feng is a typical hands-off shopkeeper. He only wants to move his mouth and never does it, so everything is on him. Fortunately, he has an assistant now, otherwise he would really go crazy.


    The address is in the area south of the San Francisco Bay. It may not be clear, but it should be famous if it is replaced by "Silicon Valley". The area including South San Francisco and Santa Clara County can be called Silicon Valley. In fact, Silicon Valley Not a place name, just a description.


    The address chosen for Anfeng is located near San Jose, a factory close to the airport. The factory originally did some processing trade, but closed down due to poor management, leaving behind two empty warehouses and a two-story office building. Quiet and conveniently located, perfect for setting up a machine company.


    After viewing it, An Feng decided to rent it.


    10-year lease, need to pay 3.5 million US dollars, the land is not cheap. Take out another 20 million US dollars to register the company, 40% for yourself, and 60% for GP International. The first reason is low-key, and the second is that there is a lot of money in the offshore account. He invested nearly 80 million in Aegis Security, and he is now poor.


    The robot company will be a bottomless pit of money. It is not expected to generate any profit within five years, and even needs to invest a huge amount of money in technology research and development every year. An Feng had a rough plan in his mind, but even he thought the steps were complicated to implement.


    Let��s take a step at a time, he has a hunch that the robot company will change the world.


    ��


    The days calmed down again.


    In addition to designing a blueprint for a machine exoskeleton, An Feng is doing something he loves with Joanna.


    Their life has always been fun, they are all people who are willing to try and learn, and their ideas are easy to influence each other. Joanna makes An Feng''s behavior more in line with his status, and he is more inclined to the upper class. And An Feng let her integrate into life, showing the most charming side of his wife.


    They cooperated with each other tacitly. An Feng thoughtfully drove her to and from school every day in a luxury car, allowing her to enjoy the attention of the crowd and the envy of women. If you don''t kiss more than a dozen times a day, you may feel uncomfortable.


    A few days later, he received a call from Matthew.


    "Hey Bruce, how''s life going?"


    "Very good, how about you?" An Feng was feeding Joanna ice cream with a spoon at this time. She leaned on his chest, enjoying his gentle service with small mouthfuls.


    "It''s okay. But you should be the one with the most free time. Are you interested in attending a reception?"


    Joanna''s head got under his chin, and she was tired of hugging her. An Feng hugged her and asked, "What''s the nature? What about the time?"


    "The arrangement is three days later, and the venue is a private gathering in a private house in Santa Barbara. I strongly recommend that you attend, because there are some party members present. We are in a group, and we want to get to know friends in the circle and improve Feelings, what do you think?"


    An Feng said: "Okay, I will attend on time."


    Putting down the phone, Joanna asked, "What invitation?"


    An Feng wiped her mouth for her: "At the official reception, Matthew also called some politicians, which should be very important, because he suggested that I should not be absent."


    Joanna said: "In the United States, it is inevitable for businessmen to deal with politicians. It is also helpful to support some politicians occasionally."


    "Of course, I think so too." An Feng nodded, "He didn''t specify the party affiliation. I guess it should be the Republican Party. I need to do my homework."


    An Feng checked some information on the Internet. Since the former governor was old and he was not re-elected this year, the position of governor of California was once again won by the Republican Party. Therefore, most of the current California government team is composed of Republican members, and their campaign power is huge. After a while, I also heard that he is very ambitious for next year''s presidential election. Xiao Ohei has occupied the presidential seat for eight years, and the emperor takes turns, so it is time to give up.


    It seems that this reception can meet heroes from all walks of life.


    The special plane departs in three days.


    Although An Feng''s private jet is not big, it is also equipped with two pilots and two full-time flight attendants for random service, and the treatment they get is very good. The four employees have to pay 400,000 annual salary a year, and they also have enough vacations. But for An Feng now, this amount of money is nothing at all.


    What kind of treatment do you enjoy at any salary level? The salary given by Anfeng is classified as high salary, so whether it is a flight attendant or a driver, the attitude is very respectful. Angela said that they were professionally trained. As the private customization of rich people, they get more money and learn more rules.


    Flying comfortably and landing at Santa Barbara Airport, two stewardesses stood by the open gangway with sweet smiles on their faces. An Feng lamented that life should be like this. In a happy mood, he pulled Joanna down the gangway, and there was a black Bentley sedan parked in front of him, with the driver waiting beside him.


    Based on the principle of giving priority to women, An Feng let Joanna get into the car first. She was dressed in a mature and dignified way tonight, wearing a long black dress with a halter neck, complete with necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, and carrying a simple red handbag. Aristocratic lady fan. She came here to make An Feng look good.


    For rich people to attend any formal occasion, it is necessary to have a good female companion. Joanna can handle this kind of occasion with ease. An Feng never worries about her own face. Celebrities with insufficient temperament are uncomfortable.


    The special car arrived at a private mansion built along the coast, quietly shuttled through the dense forest and tree shadows, passed the main entrance, and drove for another minute before arriving at the front of the house. The door of the car was opened, and after getting out of the car, they walked all the way to the house on the red carpet, and the receptionist even called out the names of the guests.


    Entering the house, there are a lot of people tonight. Looking past, there are a group of men in suits and leather shoes and their female companions wandering around. Everyone is taking the opportunity to get to know each other and chatting with smiles. Most of them are white, but there are also some other races. After walking a few steps, I saw Matthew coming from the crowd.


    "Nice to meet you, Matthew!" An Feng went over to shake his hand and hug him.


    After releasing An Feng, Matthew hugged Joanna politely, and praised: "Joanna, you stole the limelight from many ladies tonight."


    Joanna smiled decently: "Thank you."


    Matthew said: "There are many people worth making friends with tonight, including the governor, Republican star candidates, or wealthy businessmen who cooperate with us. I think that as a rich man, Bruce, you are too low-key. It is okay to be low-key in front of the public. , but please don''t keep a low profile in front of your friends."


    An Feng said with a smile: "So I dare not neglect this invitation at all."


    Matthew said with satisfaction: "This is the mentality. In the United States, if you have never supported a politician of any party, you are ashamed to call yourself a rich man."


    An Feng nodded: "I agree with your statement."


    Matthew said: "But friends do not lie in many, but in quality. Let me recommend some worthwhile friends for you."


    What Matthew meant was obvious, to formally bring An Feng into their camp. The people he introduces are not ordinary, they are either promising or powerful, or rich businessmen with complex backgrounds. Although I have never heard of them, after introducing the specific industries involved, they all have a lot of background.


    An Feng felt that Matthew was very sincere, and specially introduced the heavyweight to him.


    But it��s also true to think about it. The rich man with a net worth of tens of billions, the key partner of the family in new energy, and the strange person who may heal the old lady��s illness, anyone will win over. Then there''s Joanna''s relationship in it��they''re kind of blood related. Although it is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, it is said when the interests are not enough. As long as An Feng has a level of strength, as long as there is a relationship, please remove the word "far" from distant relatives.


    So they are relatives. According to seniority, the couple should be called Matthew and Bazel "uncle", while the old lady is from the grandma generation.


    Even if there is no such relationship, with Anfeng''s potential to create wealth, and being a wealthy businessman without party affiliation, he is also the first choice for people from all walks of life.


    After several groups of people, Matthew introduced a person An Feng felt familiar with: "This is Mr. Horst."


    An Feng remembered that he had seen him on TV, and he was the governor of California.


    It is worth mentioning that the governor actually knew about An Feng''s background: "I know you, An. You are amazing. The Tailan technology that has changed agriculture, and the medical center that has made breakthroughs now have attracted the attention of the whole world. Concentrated in Los Angeles! Unbelievable genius!"


    An Feng smiled and said: "Your Excellency has won the award, and it mainly depends on everyone''s support."


    The governor smiled and said: "I have wanted to chat with you a long time ago, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity. Thanks to this opportunity today, you are my idol."


    An Feng was very puzzled.


    Matthew laughed and explained: "Mr. Horst also runs a farm at home. He has used Tailan''s super fertilizer and was shocked by the effect."


    Everyone laughed.


    In fact, the governor is nothing more than that. He can be successful because he relies on the support of the behind-the-scenes group? For the important role recommended by Matthew, the governor naturally dare not show off. If he wants to obtain funds, win support, or live comfortably after leaving office, the generosity of these people is indispensable.


    Talking about some topics with the governor is nothing more than talking about politics. The rise of Chinese power in California, as well as this year''s employment situation, drought, etc., chatted for ten minutes, got to know each other, and exchanged contact information - which also means that An Feng will need to attend more activities in the future, what kind of fundraising , Charity auction, the rich will get some blood to some extent, but on the other hand, if An Feng is in trouble, he can also directly ask him to help.


    Smiling and saying goodbye to the governor, An Feng took two glasses of cocktails from the waiter''s plate, clinked glasses with Joanna, and said: "It''s really not easy to build a relationship. Both parties have to do everything possible to find topics that are interesting to each other. It cannot go beyond the fundamental purpose of making friends with each other."


    Joanna smiled: "It''s not easy for you here. Having Matthew''s personal introduction also means that you appear as an important person."


    An Feng was proud: "So it is very important to choose a big backer."


    Joanna smiled. I don''t know if it is good luck or what, he actually stood with the Sinclair family, but after thinking about it, with his magic, gold always shines, even if there is no Sinclair family, There will also be other powerful families or financial groups extending olive branches to him.

 Chapter 140： political investment

    Chapter 140 Political Investment


    With the enthusiastic beginning of Matthew and the governor, it is much easier to get to know other people later. This party still pays attention to identity and intimacy. Although it is on the same occasion, the core is difficult to contact��such as Bazel Sinclair , he was talking and laughing happily with the federal senator, and it was naturally difficult for others to see. But he deliberately stopped talking and raised his glass to An Feng and Joanna, with an obvious friendly attitude.


    Behind An Feng, he kept getting acquainted with those politicians and wealthy businessmen and exchanged business cards. Among them is a Chinese state congressman named "Liu Yaowei". An Feng heard about him in San Francisco. He encouraged Chinese who don''t care much about politics to pay attention to their votes, and let the government know that Chinese are also an important part of the election. influence, seek more benefits, and so on. Overall it''s a positive character.


    At least, he is much better than those dog slaves who raised their hands and voted to pass the discriminating Chinese bill. The latter completely forgot their origins, forgot that they also had yellow skin, and only knew how to do their best to please their masters and betrayed them. His own family members are nothing more than pets kept by white pigs.


    Because An Feng also has national dignity, he has a good impression of this Chinese congressman. He specially chatted with him a few more words, and the other party obviously values ??the conversation with him. He is a person worth making friends with.


    Liu Yaowei is just 40 years old, he is definitely young and promising, and his words are very practical: "In California, the number of Chinese has reached 2 million, and they are a force that cannot be ignored for local and even state elections. It''s a pity that they generally don''t care about politics and think it has nothing to do with them. Often in some political elections, the turnout rate of the Chinese is only about 30%, which leads to the failure of the Chinese to win the power they should have."


    An Feng nodded deeply: "Indeed, due to their cultural background, the older generation of Chinese generally don''t care much about politics. Maybe they think they can''t compete with being an official. I heard that they didn''t let politicians curry favor with them. , the concept of fighting for their interests.��


    Liu Yaowei said: "So I have to work hard to publicize and let them realize the power of the votes in their hands."


    An Feng agreed: "It''s best to let those traitors see the power of votes."


    Liu Yaowei smiled: "I will work hard."


    "I support you." An Feng smiled, "Even though I don''t have the right to vote."


    After chatting with him for a while, An Feng left.


    Finally, under the personal recommendation of Bazel, An Feng met the star candidate of the Republican Party, who was then a senator in the Federal Congress: Floyd D. Anderson. A vigorous, strong white man in his early fifties, he speaks very well, and you can feel a strong sincerity when you talk to him.


    An Feng''s first feeling is that this person is very good at speaking, almost the type who can speak for three days and three nights without a manuscript. An Feng pays great attention to details, not for anything else, because Bazel said that he is one of the two presidential candidates supported by the Republican Party. He is very popular and has a good chance of becoming the next president.


    An Feng is interested in him. Once he is elected president in the future, he can show off himself, right?


    Anderson''s interest in An Feng came from the recommendation of a big family. Few young people deserve their attention. For this reason, he showed full enthusiasm.


    Even if An Feng is not a U.S. citizen and has no right to vote and be elected, it is not important. What is important is the funding for speeches around the United States, or private expenses that are not visible... Without the support of these family consortiums, even the current president cannot survive , and even the risk of being headshot.


    An Feng is interested in political issues, and Anderson obviously has his ideas: "The policy towards China is something that every government should think about carefully. In recent years, the presidents like to speak harshly about China during their campaigns to please voters, but In fact, if you want to do what you say, you will end up hurting both sides.��


    An Feng said: "You don''t hide your attitude."


    Anderson said with a smile: "This is based on practical considerations. In order to maintain its hegemony, the United States must adopt many coping strategies, but the nature determines that most of its means are based on third-party agents. To be honest, In the case of nuclear threats to each other, once a violent conflict between major powers breaks out, it will not be a good thing for anyone, not to mention that the world economy will make everyone mess up. If any party falls, it will have a great impact on each other. So the battle is concentrated on the virtual and the real in terms of conspiracy methods, rather than extreme force."


    An Feng feels that Anderson has the kind of thinking of playing a Cold War conspiracy, but it doesn''t matter much. Every president speaks harshly to China, but who can be ruthless in the end? No, it''s nothing more than one or two dog legs, secretly supporting and so on, and the goal is achieved by playing around.


    An Feng asked: "So you think it is difficult for a great power war to break out?"


    Anderson said: "Experts say that destroying the planet does not necessarily require launching a nuclear bomb on the opponent''s head."


    An Feng smiled. From the perspective of the country, Americans, especially the leaders, naturally have to be vigilant against their opponents. There is nothing wrong with this. If China''s future leadership is changed, it will inevitably regard the United States as an opponent who can stab each other at any time. . Which of the five hooligans doesn''t think this way?


    Anderson is very good at talking, at least he won''t embarrass An Feng, who is of Chinese descent. This should be the quality of a politician, right? No matter what, the Sinclair family supports him, and he will stand on the same side. An Feng doesn''t have a bad impression of him, and there is no problem with rewarding him with some money.


    After shopping around, I met Matthew again.


    Matthew asked: "How is it? The harvest is not small, right?"


    An Feng nodded: "I have met a lot of friends, do you feel that our political investment is huge?"


    The word "we" made Matthew very satisfied with his positioning: "You have to choose someone who can represent your own interests. In recent years, our business development has been very smooth, and this year we met you as a genius. If Anderson is elected again, We''ll be much more comfortable for the next few years."


    An Feng nodded clearly.


    "Come on, we still have a core meeting." Matthew looked towards the direction of the stairs on the second floor, "You go up first, the west hall on the second floor, Bazel is hosting."


    "Okay, let''s see you later." An Feng reached out to Joanna: "Come on, my wife, let''s continue to watch the show."


    Joanna smiled lightly.


    They walked up the stairs, and there were several black-clothed bodyguards guarding the corner, but they didn''t look sideways at An Feng''s arrival and didn''t intend to stop him. It seems they are also VIP.


    The number of guests in the west hall has decreased a lot, and everyone gathered together and chatted. The content is also more direct, without those hypocritical politeness, they are all discussing how such-and-such member is greedy and **** up, a certain group wants to disrupt the situation again this year, who should deal with them next time, and so on.


    The graceful and luxurious female companions they each brought stayed aside, either chatting or tasting wine, and they were all familiar with this scene... Seeing An Feng coming, Bazel looked at him with a smile on his face. An Feng hurried forward, and everyone''s eyes were on him.


    Bazel introduced: "Bruce Ann, the partner that the family has tapped out this year, a young man with full potential, and the founder of GP."


    Everyone sent greetings to him one after another, and Bazel focused on introducing some of them: "This is Andrew, the chairman of Western Investment Group; this is Austin, Austin Blue Lane, you should have seen him..."


    Bazel introduced a lot of people, anyway, they are all bosses with close cooperation, or politicians with bright futures. Whether it is a partner or an investor, there are all kinds of guests including big entrepreneurs, bankers, and politicians here. They are either rich or expensive, and they all have a lot of background.


    After greeting each other, Bazel said briefly to An Feng: "We are discussing political investment and preparing for the coming year."


    An Feng couldn''t say anything in this regard. Although he was listed, he was only at the bottom, that is, his weight was too small, but he was invited into this inner circle because of his great potential. Only when he really stood with these industry leaders did he know what money is and what ability is.


    Money is to jointly mobilize tens of thousands of trillions to play finance, and ability requires some members of parliament representing their interests to propose bills that are beneficial to them.


    In order to maintain an advantage, it is necessary to constantly tap potential partners and capable politicians. An Feng is the former, and Anderson is the latter.


    The theme this time is political investment, targeting Republican presidential candidate Anderson. In American democracy, although the president is voted by the citizens, what about the presidential candidates? It was decided by a small group of people -- a small group of people here discussing how to give Anderson an advantage.


    An Feng didn''t pay much attention to politics, and it was boring to listen to. He made up some content by himself. He thought that political investment needs to be contributed by himself, but it is not so simple. There are strict standards for the funds raised during the presidential election. It is said that the amount cannot exceed 2,000 US dollars, otherwise it is a bribe.


    But this is only what everyone can see, where you can''t see, such as the candidate''s job, his business investment, his family members... There are too many tricks that can be done here, and the consortium doesn''t pay attention to the obvious. See campaign finance, but other covert interests.


    There are even detours��such as hiring professionals to collect some evidence against the opponent, some indecent photos, bad words and deeds. If a spy gets hold of the racist remarks a candidate has made, it will almost certainly be the end of his political career.


    So political investment is not only concentrated on the candidates, but can also be reflected in other details. As we all know, the candidate''s behind-the-scenes team is unknown to people, and through the candidate''s behind-the-scenes team, a lot of intelligence that requires huge expenses can be mastered.


    An Feng was bored, so he turned his head and asked Matthew beside him: "I heard that the Democratic Party also has strong opponents. What do you think Anderson''s chances of winning are?"


    Matthew said with a smile: "Half depends on God''s will."

 Chapter 141： machine genius

    Chapter 141 Machine Genius


    (Addition of 352 votes, please recommend another vote!)


    ��


    The political reception ended successfully.


    An Feng feels that it is nothing more than party members and their backstage supporters gathering together to brainstorm and plan strategies that are beneficial to everyone... From the perspective of ordinary people, this group of people can indeed dominate economic and political trends, and they belong to the civil society. The behind-the-scenes power of politicians who relish.


    In fact, to put it bluntly, the consortium is a circle of businessmen and politicians who work together to make more money, get more money, earn money and go back to live a good life, hoarding it for future generations...An Feng also joined and contributed his own strength. It''s better to be surrounded by capable people than to go it alone, not to mention they are very strong.


    Now An Feng can be proud of his political connections. He knows congressmen, governors, and the pre-determined presidential candidate. It is definitely a force that cannot be ignored. Of course, it mainly depends on the introduction of partners, so starting today, they are all on the same boat.


    Then the days went on, and I didn��t feel any difference when I got to know the governor or a candidate. Isn��t it different to eat and drink every day, hugging a woman and being happy?


    A few days later.


    John came to inform that the robot company had completed the modification according to his requirements. There are two large factory buildings, a large piece of flat land in front, and an "H" is specially drawn. Don''t think about it, this must be for An Feng''s helicopter to dock. The San Jose area is quite far from San Rafael, nearly a hundred kilometers away.


    But... An Feng encountered trouble again.


    Who should manage it?


    In the past, he didn''t have to worry about running a business, either he already had a manager or a shareholder recommendation, but now he started it entirely by himself, with a single-digit manpower��that is, construction workers who come to work these days. But seriously, he is currently at zero manpower because the workers leave when they finish their work.


    "This won''t work." An Feng scratched his head, trying to call John when he couldn''t think of a way.


    John said that he can accept the current facts. He has an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, and then specializes in doing some simple but troublesome errands.


    An Feng''s requirements are very simple. It is naturally best to be good at business management, but the premise is that he is familiar with robots. Strictly speaking, he is not a recruiting supervisor, but a technical expert. Although the company has a lot of funds, the scale is not large, and most of the employees are technicians.


    While waiting, An Feng was thinking about what the robot company should do in the first step?


    Getting started is also a challenge.


    It is absolutely unrealistic to manufacture a powerful, shocking, and highly intelligent machine immediately. First, there are no materials, and then there are no chips that are advanced enough, and there is no basic theory... So go around the origin and let the employees start from the basics, some simple ones machine parts.


    In addition to the widget idea, he ended up planning an exoskeleton set.


    is an exoskeleton without armor. If it is an exoskeleton armor, it is generally used in the field of military applications, and the production process is very complicated and the cost is high. The exoskeleton is simple. It may be called an exoskeleton with a cane. It is nothing more than using a more complicated hydraulic system to work. .


    There are companies in the United States that specialize in exoskeletons in the military field, such as SarcosXOS2. For civilian use, Australian universities are also developing exoskeletons for firefighters. In an emergency situation, firefighters will be able to carry up to 120 kilograms, which is equivalent to putting out their own lives to put out the fire.


    If equipped with an exoskeleton, it can easily allow firefighters to carry a load of more than 200 catties. The exoskeleton can also assist and strengthen muscle movements. Firefighters can go up to the 20th floor without much effort. More trapped people can be rescued.


    An Feng''s first goal was it.


    Because the first step of a high-intelligence robot is an exoskeleton, it will take several years, or even more than ten years of development, to replace the human in the exoskeleton with a machine... So An Feng founded a robot company without making a fuss, which basically makes money. No money, and will operate in debt.


    ��


    An Feng waited for a recruitment event, which is not strictly speaking, it should be him meeting with the recommended person, and then he will be in charge of the company''s technology research and development.


    This guy''s name is Colin Hoffman, and he was introduced by Etan Bassett, the battery group leader of GP.


    Bassett emphasized that he is a genius in robotics.


    An Feng stared at him for a while, genius? Thin body, wearing a pair of myopia glasses, messy hair, like a slovenly otaku. Being stared at by An Feng, he was at a loss, his eyes rolled around and his lips moved slightly, as if he was muttering something silently.


    But his resume looks very powerful. At the age of 25, he has two master''s degrees, both of which are related to robotics. Looking at his previous study career, almost all of them were completed in a compressed manner. Others spent two years taking credits , he completed it in one year. If I''m right...he''s a genius.


    An Feng put his resume under his hands and asked, "Do you like robots very much?"


    Hoffman was stunned for a moment before recovering, nodded and stammered and said, "Yes, I, Mr. An, I have made many robots, the small ones include miniature robot mice and robot dogs; the medium-sized ones have multi-rotors with quadrocopter, and patents for cleaning robots����


    An Feng smiled: "Relax, I don''t value eloquence too much. As long as I have strength, it doesn''t matter whether I can speak or not. What do you think?"


    Hoffman nodded: "I agree, I, sir."


    An Feng picked up a blueprint he brought and handed it to the table: "Take a look at this set of exoskeletons, and then talk about your point of view."


    Hoffman came to pick up the drawing, and when he saw it, he seemed to have been immobilized, staring at it without blinking, completely forgetting to sit back.


    An Feng didn''t interrupt him either, and waited calmly.


    "It''s missing some parts." Hoffman said abruptly.


    "Please continue." An Feng nodded. He did deliberately omit some parts in this blueprint, but for someone who has just been in contact with it for a short time, it can be seen quickly, which shows that he is very specialized in this area. In other words, talent is also helping him digest these contents.


    "The design is very ingenious, but something is missing in the elbow joints, leg joints and back. This should be a perfect work..." Hoffman pursed his lips, gesticulating on the paper with his fingers, "Perfect here One, plus a small hydraulic system, no, two!"


    An Feng nodded: "Continue to talk."


    When it comes to professionalism, Hoffman speaks very fluently, and even found out the places that An Feng deliberately reduced. He even has some modification plans of his own. Although it is a bit different from what An Feng had in mind, he can do this step , An Feng admired from the bottom of his heart, this guy''s talent is very good.


    Talked to this drawing for half an hour. Hoffman watched with grief as An Feng crumpled up the paper and threw it into the trash can.


    An Feng smiled and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Hoffman! You stand out from the competitors, and our company will hire you as a technical director!"


    An Feng even shook hands with the stupefied Hoffman, making a good show��if anyone knows that there is only one applicant for this recruitment.


    An Feng said: "I believe you will find it worth the money. The blueprint just now is just a basic introduction, and there will be more complicated machines waiting for you."


    "Really?" Hoffman came back to his senses.


    An Feng nodded: "Of course, we are not only pursuing portability, but also light weight and concealment. The drawings just now are only drafts and cannot be put on the table."


    "Thank you, Mr. An!" Hoffman said happily. He didn''t know it until now, and he was delighted to think that Maxima was picked by Bole, and he was excited for a long time.


    An Feng didn''t tell him this beautiful lie.


    ��


    Hoffman is really a genius. He knows almost everything about the history of research and development of robots or exoskeletons. From the last century to the present, he has memorized all the machines and eye-catching exoskeletons that have ever appeared in the world. Also summed up my own opinion.


    "The most critical points at present are the design of materials, energy, control and biological shape. Materials, control methods and shapes have all made great progress, but the energy source has always been a problem, although the main driving method is hydraulic system , but it must be ensured that the energy provided to the central chip is sufficient, otherwise it will not be able to respond to the behavior of the organism, which is equivalent to losing the sensitive control of the exoskeleton..."


    An Feng listened quietly to his views, and communicating with each other helped him figure out Hoffman''s background. In fact, his brain is very easy to use and has a lot of room for imagination. An Feng occasionally mentioned some key knowledge points to him. The guy was stunned for a while, but later he used it reasonably.


    An Feng wondered if he could quickly understand the advanced knowledge by explaining it himself?


    He did this on purpose later on, making things more and more difficult, and asking him frequently how much he understood. This guy frowned at first, but later, he listened to him recount An Feng''s thoughts just now in an orderly manner, and then used his It was An Feng''s turn to be surprised when he added some new concepts with his own point of view.


    "Very good!" An Feng nodded and applauded. If it wasn''t for his cheating just now, he would probably be a scumbag in front of Hoffman, not worth mentioning.


    Hoffman wanted to continue asking him something, but it was getting late, and An Feng had to go back to pick up his wife from school, so they agreed to continue talking here tomorrow.


    On the night of returning home, An Feng called Bassett who recommended Hoffman. This guy was really shy, and actually recommended a genius to him.


    After listening to An Feng''s description, Bassett said with a smile: "His performance has always been amazing, and some views are even absurd. According to his classmates, the professor does not necessarily agree with these weird views. But there is one thing to pay attention to. , but his communication skills are not strong, and he is a little childish."


    An Feng froze for a moment, and asked, "Are you serious?"


    Bassett said solemnly: "Yes, it can only be said that God requires everyone to be equal. When he worked in the last company, he specialized in research with advanced ideas. Even the research department didn''t have that much budget for him... So, I implore Mr. An to be more tolerant towards him."


    Later, An Feng really understood a little bit.


    He is indeed very strong in the professional field. An Feng once joked that he is an "elementary school teacher", but when facing Hoffman, he is about to become a "high school teacher", and students'' questions occasionally make him stop and think , if he can''t explain clearly, it will be difficult to get out.


    In addition, this guy also regards the company office as his own home. After getting used to it, he stayed there and pondered the drawings An Feng gave him all night. Usually, when An Feng came to the office, he would find it messy and full of disposable items. Paper cups, smelly socks thrown on the table, and clothes that haven��t been washed for a few days. If you look carefully, you can find a "homeless man" curled up in a pile of waste paper in the corner.


    Hoffman seldom speaks at ordinary times. If he talks about it, his mouth is full of academic vocabulary. If he talks about other things, such as life and family, he will be very dull and unable to hold a few words. You always need to pause Explain, and his reaction will be half a beat slower, making you feel dull, and when it comes to the end, you even have a strange feeling that you and him are not living in the same dimension...


    Moreover, his brain is too developed, and his thoughts are very complicated. Some ideas are wrong and some are correct. Without the guidance of others, it is difficult for him to follow his ideas all the way. That''s why he got fired at other companies: he couldn''t guarantee he was right later.


    But it is different now, An Feng can let him go on the right path.


    This guy, if placed in other companies, would be a scourge of exhausting budget and no results, but here in An Feng, he is a genius with the truth in his hands.


    He was born for An Feng''s robot project.

 Chapter 142： domestic compatriots

    Chapter 142 Domestic compatriots


    It has been said that geniuses are a bit neurotic, and An Feng feels that he is right��except for himself, because he is strictly a cheater.


    Hoffman is a typical genius. He has poor living skills and weak communication skills. He lives in the same room with other employees recruited by the company, but he can not say a word for three days��if it is about professionalism, please ignore the above words , he can say that it is very smooth for a long time.


    An Feng feels very good, it''s normal for the expert to be a bit eccentric. Considering that Hoffman likes to stay in the company and study until late at night, he arranged a luxurious office and a rest area for Hoffman in the warehouse, and he went to bed when he was tired. When you open your eyes, you can work with tools and drawings again.


    An employee who loves to do things like this is definitely the boss''s dream.


    His comprehension ability is terrifying. He is the smartest person An Feng has ever met. He can understand all the knowledge taught to him in just a few days, and even a new type of exoskeleton has been almost comprehended by him. If it weren''t for the company''s incomplete equipment, he would immediately start the experiment, desperate.


    Hoffman is smart, and An Feng is also happy and relaxed. He only needs to speak out the key points and difficulties, and let him filter them by himself. Generally, there is no need to talk about the second and third times��it��s a pity that it��s just about robots. ene and biological research, that would be great!


    Considering his personality, An Feng also specially arranged a group of honest experimenters, that is, the kind of assistants who are very good at listening to the teacher and orders from the superiors, which will benefit Hoffman''s performance. Simple work can be arranged for an assistant to do, instead of time-consuming to do it personally, and he is responsible for the core work.


    In the end, Hoffman completed the most difficult part, and handed over the summary results to An Feng.


    An Feng felt that this was the most relaxing time since he was doing research. Of course, no matter how strong Hoffman is, there is a limit to his genius. It is impossible for him to reverse the gap of a few years or more than ten years at once, but for research, it is the rarest thing to have no lag. At least An Feng is now free of pressure.

    A few mornings later, Joanna had nothing to do on the weekend, so she went out for a morning run with An Feng. Around eight or nine o''clock on weekends, you can often see men and women exercising outdoors on the street. Two groups of people who don''t know each other will greet each other casually when they pass by. They are all neighbors, so they look familiar.


    Wear sportswear, running shoes, jog side by side on the street, and do some aerobic exercise. After this level of exercise, An Feng didn''t blush or breathe. He felt that his body was getting stronger and stronger. Although it was slow, it could still be reflected in every detail, such as the exercise that Joanna couldn''t stop.


    Thinking of him, Joanna laughed, and Joanna, who was jogging, turned her head: "Share?"


    An Feng said solemnly: "I think women who love to exercise are particularly energetic. Also, you look very **** when you run in tight pants."


    Joanna shook her head: "You must be thinking more than that."


    An Feng: "Then what do you think?"


    Joanna: "Referring to the extent of your smile, and the adjectives you added, it should be some lewd, restricted pictures."


    An Feng smiled: "Hey, ma''am! Please pay attention to your morals, pick it up quickly, this is a public place."


    Joanna looked around, but no one was there, so she smiled and said, "I can''t get it back, you told me to throw it away."


    An Feng was delighted: "You really subvert the image like this."


    "It only belongs to you, don''t you like it?" Joanna slowed down and turned into walking.


    "Of course, I like it." An Feng nodded. Walking with her on the tree-lined avenue in a nearby park, I passed by some joggers from time to time, or men and women sitting on park benches to rest. Since the location is close to the sea, the dew in the morning is relatively thick, and what I breathe is not only fresh air but also humid air. Earthy.


    Walk to the coastal dyke, looking at the calm sea, with a broad vision and an open mind. Joanna stood in front of the fence, opened her hands and took a deep breath. The faint smell of sea water wafted in with the breeze, and the sunlight was soft, not to the point of making people uncomfortable. The weather at this time was indeed relaxing.


    An Feng''s interest in the sea is far less than that of her hips. She usually wears skirts and rarely wears trousers, but every time she wears them, it''s easy to make people feel distracted, because they are really protruding. The long legs are straight, the calves are thin and the thighs are moderate, which turn into a curve and extend to the buttocks. The side lines are invincible, and the angle of the back is full of reverie. Usually: how elastic is it? How does it feel? Did you wear it inside?


    Both are men, An Feng understands the eyes of his compatriots, do you really think that men will lag behind women when they run because they are tired? Hahaha, if you think so, it would be too naive-male is born to show his strength, lagging behind the female, mostly to satisfy his curiosity.


    Joanna turned around and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?"


    An Feng said: "I think, if you lean your upper body forward a little bit, and the angle of the scene is right, the recent American queen with hips is no more than that."


    Joanna smiled: "Don''t please me, I don''t have her exaggerated buttocks! The up and down are not coordinated, probably because of some surgery."


    An Feng was surprised: "So you understand."


    Joanna said proudly: "Do you think I''m really a primitive person who doesn''t care about trends?"


    An Feng said: "I thought you only paid attention to the high-end style, like a dignified lady, and didn''t care about these civilian things."


    Joanna came over and hugged his neck: "Noble one, commoner one, which one do you like?"


    An Feng thought about it seriously, and smiled: "I like the combination of both, which can make people feel excited, but also make people feel unattainable."


    "The requirements are really high." Joanna pouted.


    An Feng pressed his head against her forehead: "But you have a lifetime to do it."


    Joanna smiled sweetly and kissed her sweetly.


    Get bored for a while, talking and laughing, An Feng occasionally speaks teasingly, making her blush is a fun thing, expressing love is sometimes easy.


    ��


    Leaning on the fence together, admiring the flat boats floating on the sea, a man and a woman walking in the park beside him, because they are of yellow race, An Feng took a few extra glances.


    "Hello, how are you?" The man in his early forties spoke a classic dialogue.


    An Feng smiled and said: "Not bad. Well, but people here generally do not greet so... formally."


    The couple are well-dressed, and they seem to be either middle-class or affluent, but judging from their clothes, the men''s gray suits and the women''s formal skirts are a bit out of place in this casual community, maybe they just came from China , a difference in habits can be seen at a glance.


    Madam whispered: "Did you hear that?"


    An Feng switched to Chinese: "But it''s okay, the people in this area are relatively friendly, except for a small number of white people who flaunt noble blood."


    Madam raised her head in surprise and said, "You can also speak Chinese?"


    "I''m also from China, so of course I can speak Chinese." An Feng smiled.


    Mrs. ?? said: "What a coincidence, we also just came from China, and we are not familiar with everything here."


    The man was more calm, and reached out his hand to An Feng: "Hi sir, my name is Lin Hai, this is my wife Gao Jie, nice to meet you!"


    An Feng shook hands with him: "Hello, Mr. Lin! Ma''am!"


    Lin Hai smiled and said: "We just immigrated from China, and we are still a little uncomfortable. It is said that there are many Chinese in San Francisco, but there are not many of them here. It is fate to meet you."


    An Feng explained: "In fact, most of the Chinese are concentrated in the urban area of ??San Francisco, and strictly speaking, it is under the jurisdiction of Marin County."


    Lin Hai nodded: "I see, but for the children to study, we can only choose a good school district."


    Americans also pay attention to school districts when they go to school. There is also the saying of school district housing, but due to the development of education and the wide distribution of excellent schools, there is not too serious agglomeration. But for good private schools, everyone likes them. Take some effort.


    An Feng asked casually, "Does the child go to middle school?"


    Both Lin Hai and his wife nodded: "Girl, you just entered high school, and you are still getting used to ELD (language improvement classes and the like) courses."


    Joanna on the side listened and reminded: "When taking the ELD class, communicate with the counselor more, because the ELD class will waste some English credits. The counselor can let the children apply for English reading or speech while taking the ELD class. Courses, so that you can get enough English credits at the same time as ELD."


    They knew only a little about it. The couple are from the north, and it is difficult to understand southern Mandarin. An Feng translated some appropriately, and they suddenly realized, and expressed their gratitude: "Thank you very much. We don''t know much about these things. I almost missed my child''s credit."


    An Feng said with a smile: "It''s okay, domestic children are generally very strong in comprehension, and their ability to earn credits is much better than American children who can''t count."


    Joanna nodded in agreement, for the hard-pressed American students who still use imperial units, it is true that they have to pay blood and tears in arithmetic.


    They also laughed, and Gao Jie said with emotion: "It''s really rare to meet compatriots here. It''s been a long time since I met someone who can speak Chinese!"


    Gao Jie looked at Joanna again: "By the way, what is the lady''s name?"


    An Feng held her hand and smiled: "She is my wife, Joanna."


    Gao Jie said with a smile: "Looking at your sweet looks, I guessed it eighty-nine times. You just got married, right? Congratulations!"


    "Thank you." Joanna smiled sweetly.

 Chapter 143： community activity

    Chapter 143 Community Activities


    Chatted with Lin Hai and his wife for a while, left each other''s contact information, said goodbye and went home.


    Holding Joanna''s hand, when I walked near the door of the house, I found two girls were looking at the door, holding a bunch of posters in their hands, and they seemed to be looking for someone. An Feng walked over to say hello: "Hi, girls, can I help you?"


    They turned their heads and said politely: "Hello! We are community volunteers. Are you the new owner of this house?"


    An Feng said: "Yes, my surname is An, and this is my wife."


    Joanna nodded at them.


    "Hello, sir and madam!" One of the black-haired girls said, taking out a few posters and handing them to them: "Here is the notice of activities in our community. Tomorrow afternoon, we will vote in the community park to decide the construction of the pier supermarket. I hope you Being able to attend on time and cast your vote."


    An Feng and Joanna took over the posters, and their community voting activities will vote on whether to allow the construction of a supermarket near the east pier.


    That is to say, investors who want to build a supermarket there don��t just need to buy the land, the government will allow it. As long as the community residents don��t agree, then I��m sorry!


    After reading the introduction, An Feng said, "Okay, we will participate on time."


    The two girls smiled and said, "Thank you, I wish you a happy life!"


    The community culture in the United States is very prosperous. Different from the initial sprouts in China, when their material life is rich, their demand for spiritual culture is also gradually increasing. Therefore, large and small communities have emerged, with community parks, community libraries, and activities. In the center and other areas, there are also various community services, vehicle storage, front yard garden greening, child care, etc., which are very user-friendly.


    The community is an organization that serves the residents of the area. There is an owner committee, and the members of the committee are elected by residents'' votes. The votes here are aimed at community residents, not necessarily American citizens, so An Feng and Joanna also have community votes. right.


    In view of the history of Americans, they do not trust the government by nature, and they are used to finding neighbors or community residents to solve problems together, so the community is of great significance to them. As long as it is something that the residents vote for, the government has no right to interfere unless it is illegal.


    ��


    The next day happened to be Sunday, and everyone was free. Considering that in addition to voting, there would be some entertainment activities in the community park, I dressed casually. An Feng wore a white T-shirt and jeans. Joanna loves beauty, wearing an elegant white dress, flat shoes with a bow, and a hat with feathers.


    As an Englishman, Joanna is also very hated. There are currently more than fifty hats in her family, and the trend is still high. Consider converting a guest room into a dedicated shoe closet.


    Joanna looked in the mirror and asked An Feng: "Do you think it''s okay for me to look like this?"


    An Feng looked at it and nodded: "Very good, fresh and natural style next door, the boy''s dream lover."


    She turned around: "What about you?"


    "Big love!" An Feng sincerely praised, "Especially when the pure girl shows her unique side to me."


    The moving side is mostly because she can''t help herself and does something that makes An Feng boil...


    "Ah! You are here again!" Joanna was ashamed and immediately chased him.


    Fighting and coming downstairs, Joanna said that she was tired and would not take a few more steps even if she was beaten to death, so she insisted on asking An Feng to carry her on her back. He had no choice but to carry her to the garage, muttering on the way: "Your British lady''s integrity will probably be lost in a few years! The American cultural invasion is too powerful! Learn less from them in the future!"


    Joanna laughed. She was taking revenge on An Feng for deliberately teasing her.


    Although this community park is only three kilometers away from them, like other lazy Americans who can drive but are absolutely unwilling to take a few steps, they choose to drive out. But there was a reason for An Feng''s incident. After participating in the event, they planned to drop by San Francisco to find something to eat.


    Excuses are fine, but what''s the point of running in the morning?


    Recreational driving must be a sports car, and it must be a convertible. The Porsche 918 is sci-fi and trendy. To be honest, not many people in the rich area can drive this kind of limited supercar. They have lived in it for less than a month, and the surrounding neighbors almost remember this young and rich couple through their cars. couple.


    With the wind blowing, I parked with other cars in the parking lot at the entrance of the park. In view of the good local law and order and the trouble of manually installing the roof, An Feng raised the window and got out of the car, closed the door and opened the roof, and pulled his wife away... On the road, I met some Say hello to someone who passes by once or twice.


    Community activities are full of strange things. When An Feng was in the vineyard, the local community was very absurd, such as "how to train hunting dogs to drive away mice". According to the news from his father-in-law Frank, the men also held a "Conference on How to Deal with a Suspicious Wife".


    The location of the event was on the grass in the park, and a ballot box was set up in front of the roadside benches, and several staff members were busy. As for the bear children running around on the grass and the parents who were sitting on the ground and preparing for a picnic... This is probably a big family gathering in the community, who makes everyone have a strong sense of family.


    An Feng also ran into Lin Hai and his wife whom he had met yesterday, and beside them, a tall, thin girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a long-sleeved printed shirt, pencil pants, high heels, and trendy dress. This should be their daughter who came to high school, she looks a bit youthful and rebellious.


    Gao Jie smiled and introduced: "This is my daughter Lin Xiaofei. Xiaofei, please say hello, this is the older brother and sister I told you about yesterday."


    Lin Xiaofei was particularly unimpressed with her parents, but coolly stretched her fist at An Feng: "What-up?"


    An Feng also bumped his fist with her: "Fine!"


    Gao Jie frowned: "Okay, why not learn from those black people?"


    "Racial discrimination." Lin Xiaofei rolled his eyes.


    Lin Hai also reminded: "Pay attention to your manners, don''t make it half black and half white."


    Lin Xiaofei pouted silently in protest.


    Gao Jie said to them: "I''m really sorry."


    Joanna said understandingly: "Children are very rebellious when they are in adolescence. The more you talk about it, the more she will resist these concepts."


    Lin Xiaofei turned to look at her: "You are so beautiful."


    Joanna smiled and nodded: "Thank you, such a beautiful girl."


    "Oh?" Lin Xiaofei looked at her.


    Joanna commented: "Pencil pants are very good. They match your slim figure and are in line with this year''s American trend, but the clothes are not up to standard."


    Lin Xiaofei looked down and said, "I also think the clothes are a little uncoordinated."


    Joanna pointed her out: "Given your figure, it''s best to wear a light pink long-sleeved shirt with a tight waist and a bright red bag."


    Lin Xiaofei imagined.


    "Taylor-Swift''s summer street style retro style." Joanna prompted.


    "I like Taylor!" Lin Xiaofei seemed to like this style very much, "You are amazing, I have to throw this dress away when I go back."


    At this point in development, Lin Hai and Gao Jie admired Joanna, mainly after changing her floral shirt, it alleviated the rebellious girl''s secondary syndrome.


    When she was with Joanna, Lin Xiaofei talked a lot. She didn''t deliberately confront her parents to be rebellious. Instead, she humbly asked for advice, how to play with trends, how to keep up with the rhythm of the United States, how to practice daily spoken English, how to deal with interpersonal relationships, How to deal with female school bullies...


    An Feng said to the stupefied Lin Hai couple: "How about it? Be patient and cater to the children''s fun. This method may be more effective."


    Gao Jie nodded: "Mrs. An really has a way, you must be very good at educating children."


    An Feng smiled: "Haha, we don''t have any children yet."


    Gao Jie smiled: "Sooner or later, but the girl is quite young, so there is no rush."


    An Feng smiled and nodded. Then he pointed to the grass on the side: "Let''s sit down for a while and listen to the opinions of other residents, as a reference or something."


    Lin Hai said: "Yes, this kind of weather is the most suitable for chatting nonsense in China."


    During the chat, I learned that both Lin Hai and his wife have stable investments in China. Considering their children��s education and yearning for the foreign world, they immigrated here specially, but they are not very familiar with the local area. Take it easy and walk around.


    And the previous job was actually a red wine sales agent, or a high-end imported wine from Australia. After coming to California, I also had the same idea. No matter how good a group of foreign devils are, it is difficult for them to move forward.


    After thinking about it, An Feng said: "I do have a vineyard with about 300 acres. I plan to make some red wine, but I don''t have proper marketing management."


    Vineyards are managed by full-time staff, but after establishing a brand and wanting to market it, it requires partners, appropriate marketing methods, and so on.


    An Feng said: "Are you interested in taking a look at the garden?"


    Lin Hai said pleasantly: "Okay, as long as you have time, we can leave at any time, and we can also treat it as a tour."


    An Feng said: "That''s no problem, but we''ve been a little busy recently. Joanna and I are planning a wedding, so it may be after October."


    ��


    Chatting, not in a hurry to vote, discussing with white people who have reservations around, most of the white people are very enthusiastic, easy to get along with, and they don��t try to show superiority, at least An Feng didn��t meet �� of course, he drove millions If you have a car and a plane worth tens of millions, you have to be superior.


    The white people here are very enthusiastic and have made many friends. A native American named Sam said: "In fact, it is quite good to build a supermarket near the pier. The residents in the north are separated from the urban area by a canal, across It was very troublesome in the past, but there is a supermarket here, which will save a lot of trouble.��


    Some people agreed: "Building a supermarket means having a wide public parking lot. It will be much more convenient to find a place to park while towing a yacht."


    For An Feng, it doesn''t matter whether he disagrees or agrees. Anyway, he is far away from him, and he can''t be disturbed by noise. On the contrary, everyone tends to agree, so following the crowd, he also filled out the vote of approval and signed his name. Solemnly put into the ballot box - I felt a lot of emotion for a while, I have never seen what a ballot looks like in my life, even college voting is verbal, it is really rare to be able to persist until I vote and really influence the decision-making scene.

    Chapter 144 Preparations


    (Addition of 372 votes)


    ��


    In addition to voting to build a supermarket, community activities also include some charity fundraising activities, which are jointly organized by volunteers and community service workers. The location is random, just around the polling station. They don''t pay attention to the form, and most of them donate a little change in their pockets.


    This community belongs to the wealthy area, and everyone is relatively generous, especially when facing some special volunteers, their love makes them unable to bear to refuse. No, two cute twins with blond hair and bangs in pink speckled skirts appeared holding donation boxes, and their big eyes met them.


    Xiaomengmei came to them, and said in a milky voice: "Brothers and sisters, support the construction of entertainment facilities in community parks, improve the level of greening, let children and parents enjoy more happy times, let small animals inhabit and enrich their lives. The spiritual life of our community, please give your love?"


    An Feng smiled and asked, "Hey, little girl, how long did it take you to memorize the lines?"


    Xiao Mengmei smiled and replied: "Two nights!"


    Another cute girl who looks the same said: "Only."


    An Feng continued to ask: "Mom and Dad asked you to come?"


    Little cute girl Qiqi shook her head: "No, we did it voluntarily."


    "Good job." An Feng gave them a thumbs up. They learned to be volunteers at a young age, and their parents'' educational philosophy is indeed good.


    He took Joanna''s bag, counted several pieces of money, the value of which was not small, and finally solemnly stuffed the money into the donation box, and the two little girls smiled.


    "Thank you, brother and sister." They said sweetly, and one of the little cute girls pulled out a signature pen, drew a smiling face on the small piece of memo, added their crooked names, and handed them: "This is My sister and I gave it to you, may God bless you!"


    An Feng took the paper and waved to them with a smile. The two little girls were encouraged and continued to show off their cuteness in front of other people to raise donations. This cute look can kill men, women and children, and no one can bear to refuse them. Lin Xiaofei also took a special photo with two cute girls who are good at swinging scissors.


    "It''s really a tender child." An Feng said.


    "Hmm. So cute." Joanna looked at them.


    An Feng said: "Shall we raise one too?"


    Joanna nodded, then shook her head: "It''s not now, I haven''t finished my studies yet."


    An Feng nodded: "I respect your opinion. But your age is the most beautiful youth of a woman, and it is indeed a pity to use it to have children."


    Joanna scorned: "This statement is so strange."


    An Feng smiled.


    Voting, fundraising, reading, and some small speeches, the cultural activities in the community are indeed much richer than Anfeng''s previous empty vineyard area. He observed that those who were usually busy with work also changed into casual clothes, brought their wives and children to attend, and met new friends.


    Sitting on the lawn, sharing an afternoon picnic with enthusiastic neighbors in the community, watching the naughty figures of the children, I had a very happy day. Even though the delay caused Joanna to cancel her plan to go shopping, she still felt it was worth it because she enjoyed the tranquility and warmth.


    ��


    After having a candlelight dinner in the city, it was more than nine o''clock when I returned home. Joanna went to take a bath in the jacuzzi when she was tired. An Feng also wanted to go, but she thought it would take twice as long for two people to take a bath together. Because of this, he was rejected. An Feng returned to the bed injured, and leaned against the bedside to play with the computer.


    Flipping through the memo, there are many things to do but no clue, such as estate planning. An Feng doesn''t like hoarding real estate meaninglessly, but now his two houses are designed by others and lived in by others. Although they are very comfortable to live in, they always feel that there is something missing.


    Building a luxury house completely according to their preferences... An Feng has always thought about it, but the problem is the location. Is it inland or coastal? And finding housing land is not easy. And the more important architectural style, the towering castle? A grand estate? Or a resort?


    The castle seems a bit empty, and the manor feels wrong... After thinking about it, I still can''t grasp the essentials, and Joanna must like it.


    When I was thinking about something, the class group was flickering. I clicked on it and found that everyone was discussing a trip during the National Day holiday. There were quite a lot of plans. An Feng glanced at the memo and typed a line: "Hey, hey! Please be conservative with your plans. Don''t be crazy, remember to come to my brother''s wedding banquet in China on the 6th!"


    Wang Le replied the fastest: "What about the foreign ones? What about our VIPs who have booked the best man seats? Will we send a special plane to pick them up?"


    Xiang Yang booed: "It must, we are big names, otherwise how can we be worthy of the pomp?"


    Wu Chao said: "At least the plane must have a bed, otherwise we won''t go."


    An Feng said speechlessly: "Fuck! You guys are hypocritical! Send a Gulfstream there, bring a bed, and a blonde stewardess, and go through the VIP channel all the way. Are you satisfied?"


    "It''s okay." Wang Le replied.


    "Barely." Xiang Yang replied.


    "You two, are you sure that donating tender chrysanthemums can pay off the debt for this trip?" Wu Chao poured cold water on it.


    The class group unanimously responded to various sinister smiling faces.


    An Feng sighed: "You guys are really out of morals!"


    Chatting with old friends on the Internet and telling them about their plans by the way, there are not many people going to the United States for dinner, and the procedures for traveling abroad are too complicated and costly. Only three buddies didn��t hesitate��although they shouted business jets the loudest. Loud, but after saying their goodbyes, a few people sent a message separately, saying that they had already bought their air tickets, so they didn''t need to prepare a business jet... An Feng was a little moved.


    It''s a pity that the good times don''t last long, and the emotion is not always there. Everyone has no conscience, and they are playing tricks! Xiang Yang replied on behalf of them: "But please be sure to let us see a really crazy bachelor party, two conditions, first, it must be lively enough; second, you must pay the bill!"


    "A bunch of bastards!" An Feng scolded with a smile.


    ��


    An Feng sat in his Cessna business jet and flew to New York.


    He was the only one on this trip, and Joanna was not even notified because he had to give her a surprise.


    Before the trip to Europe, he had already paid off the loan he owed to AmEx, and the diamonds he had mortgaged to the bank were free again. Although they had never been touched in Amex��s safe, he could dispose of these diamonds at will. After returning from the trip to Europe, he specially appointed someone to send it for processing.


    A top-cut blue diamond is already flawless, but if it is to be used as jewelry, it cannot always be held in the hand, right? So An Feng invited the most exquisite jewelers in New York to create the most amazing diamond necklace... It took a month to increase the price. In addition to providing diamonds, An Feng paid an additional five million US dollars for diamonds Fees and processing fees, several masters personally worked on it, and now the work is done perfectly.


    As soon as I got off the plane, I was picked up by the special car sent by the jeweler to the headquarters. After passing through numerous inspections and security checkpoints, the entourage had to scan their entire bodies three times before they could see this fate. Screaming over the top artwork.


    The manager in charge said in a tone that treats rare treasures: "It uses three platinum chains, inlaid with 920 diamonds with a total weight of 40.55 carats, and uses a 3.02-carat pink diamond provided by you to inlay a The top blue diamond of 50.51 carats can be called a masterpiece!"


    An Feng is holding this exquisite necklace, which has three chains connected to each other, and each chain is inlaid with white diamonds that reflect dazzling brilliance. The most exquisite is the idea of ??pink diamonds inlaid with blue diamonds. He can''t help but imagine, The scene where Joanna wears it will be so dazzling...


    The necklace is also very valuable. The estimated value of the top blue diamond is more than 30 million US dollars, plus pink diamonds and other diamonds, the total price is more than 40 million. No matter in terms of exquisiteness or rarity, it can be among the top ten Leaderboard - if An Feng is willing to make it public.


    But he obviously doesn''t want his wife to wear a necklace, which will attract the attention of thieves from all walks of life, so keeping a low profile and not being famous is the best way. After appreciating it, it was solemnly put into the safe, and after confirmation, the security personnel of the jewelry company escorted it all the way to the airport, and directly boarded the plane and left.


    ��


    Back in California, October is approaching.


    Things suddenly increased. Fortunately, An Feng was rich, and many things were done by a professional team. I heard that the top wedding planning team rented a world-class resort: a beautiful resort in Palm Springs. There will be a completely private time for the ceremony to be held for them.


    An Feng browsed some pictures sent by the manager. It is a beautiful resort with mountains and water, covering an area of ??more than 100 acres. It has two golf courses, several artificial lakes, and hundreds of luxury suites...Anyway, An Feng $5 million in advance to the team.


    Maybe instead of worrying about the process, he should think about which dress to wear. He had three custom-made dresses at a tailor shop in Los Angeles. It took nearly a month to fully reflect his figure and temperament, and the choice was also a happy trouble...Two days later, his parents and friends flew from China one after another.


    It is worth mentioning that my sister said on the phone that in order to keep pace with the times, my parents went to the provincial capital to take a crash course in etiquette, mainly to teach people how to deal with various occasions such as receptions, dinners or weddings. I have a strong interest, and I also studied traditional Chinese etiquette, and even participated in an interest class for the elderly to exchange some experience of overseas travel or simple foreign languages...


    An Feng naturally agreed, leaving so much money for the elderly, of course it is for enjoyment.


    An Feng originally planned to teach his parents how to adapt to the Western dining table, but he didn''t expect to see him for a few months, and he looks good with a knife and fork, so don''t worry at all, but his father joked that he should let An Feng worry about his in-laws How to hold chopsticks and drink natural liquor with them.


    The smell of gunpowder... An Feng secretly communicated with Frank��that''s how the traitor interpreter came out.


    As for a few friends who have also arrived, but they are still playing, the holidays can��t be used to attend the wedding banquet, can they? But everyone later regretted not going to the resort earlier to enjoy high-end services... After my sister''s family also came, I took them to Los Angeles for big shopping.


    The clothes are all complete, but for wedding banquets, jewelry is indispensable. I took them to choose some, but not all of them will be used. But buy more, so that there are more choices for other occasions in the future. An Feng is really not short of money now, there is more than 100 million consumption blank, he has a headache how to spend the money.

    Chapter 145 Domestic Banquet

    ��


    In the afternoon of the next day, the plane scheduled by An Feng arrived.


    The itinerary is a bit tight, because there is still a banquet in China. After saying goodbye to my friends in the afternoon, I dragged everyone who went back together to get on the plane. The Gulfstream G650, which can accommodate 20 people, was almost full. Besides their parents, Wu Chao and Wang Le also dropped by to join in the fun.


    First, I flew to Los Angeles, and after the customs stamped the passport book, I took off into the blue sky again.


    The days at the resort made everyone feel good, discussing activities along the way. Dad and Frank were chatting vigorously under Joanna''s translation.


    An Feng pulled his mother over and said, "That''s right. I was worried about the difficulty of communicating because of the language barrier. I didn''t expect my father and father-in-law to be able to talk until now."


    My mother smiled: "It''s still in-laws. It''s always right to know more, and the old man said that this represents the cultural exchange between the two countries."


    "Since when did you pay attention to these heights?" An Feng asked with a smile.


    "Of course you are relaxed, and you just left the matter to us, but you don''t know everyone''s troubles." The sister sat down and said dissatisfied.


    An Feng was puzzled: "Huh?"


    The elder sister curled her lips and said: "Mom and Dad heard that you and Joanna were successful a few months ago. They were both happy and nervous. They were happy that you found a satisfactory daughter-in-law, but they were nervous about her family background. They thought of Joanna She is a hereditary noble lady. In ancient China, she was either a member of the imperial court or a relative of the emperor! I also learned from various sources that Westerners are very particular about etiquette. It is an old man who is actively studying, they take the time to go to training classes to supplement their knowledge..."


    An Feng held his chin and listened. The differences in their family backgrounds do exist. Whether it is Sassen or the earl''s father-in-law who has never met, they both represent the wealthy class, while his family is just ordinary people. Cannot intermarry with civilians.


    But that was also ancient times, and it was only in the past. Salted fish can turn around, and hanging silk can also counterattack. There is a saying in China that the rich are still farmers after three generations, while the western aristocrats are more powerful, and may have been passed down for six or seven generations, but the essence is still the same? Turn up your family tree, maybe our ancestors were just a group of croaking monkeys when they ate cooked food and hunted in leather pants...


    "It was my fault. I took care of myself and didn''t expect everyone." An Feng said apologetically, "But don''t worry, those 1% rich people are now in our family too. Be confident in yourself! Thinking of it this way, if necessary, I can use money to kill you, and this will give me the confidence to be a human being."


    My sister returned home in defeat, and it was difficult to get An Feng to speak seriously, but in the final analysis, maybe it was his positive and good attitude that made him bravely pursue Joanna? If you are afraid of everything you do, if you are afraid of wolves and tigers, you will not dare to do this, and you will not want to do that, you are doomed to hang your silk for life.


    An Feng, who is not serious on the surface, thought in his heart that this material is rich. With so much money, his family will naturally not live in poverty, but he has to make up for the spiritual aspect. Not everyone can adapt, but at least you must develop self-confidence.


    ��


    Depart from the United States on the 4th, and fly back to China for 12 hours. Due to the time difference, the adjusted time is the evening of the 5th. The plane lands in S City, stops temporarily, and leaves the next day. An Feng and his family and friends took the bus back to the local hotel they booked.


    After a dinner, An Feng took Joanna out of the hotel and went to a custom clothing store in the city.


    This is a time-honored brand that specializes in high-end traditional dresses for body movements. An Feng has sent their precise body data half a month ago, and specially ordered two cheongsams that she likes for Joanna, as well as two sets of traditional Tang suits of her own. , Live an addiction to traditional culture.


    Joanna originally wanted to hold a traditional oriental wedding banquet, but these years have been washed away by foreign cultures. Now, most people who get married don��t wear wedding dresses and suits? The most authentic one has just been held abroad, but it is unnecessary in China, traditional costumes are good!


    Tried on the clothes on the spot, and the high-end tailors naturally don��t need to worry about the workmanship. Joanna put on the red embroidered seven-point cheongsam without losing her temperament. Slightly tight, but it can highlight the perfect figure just right.


    Joanna looked at herself in the mirror, then turned to look at An Feng: "Does it look good?"


    An Feng nodded: "Very charming!"


    ��


    Others also visited City S at night to appreciate the beauty and variety of SH at night. Not to mention domestic friends, they have long been accustomed to the prosperity of the metropolis, and at most they marveled at the brilliant neon lights at night, but foreign father-in-law and mother-in-law But it was an eye-opener. They had never been to the mainland before, and their understanding was superficial. When they were in it, they were overwhelmed by the tall buildings and heavy traffic here.


    Frank sighed: "What a magnificent city, isn''t it worse than Los Angeles?"


    Kelly nods: "It''s more rural around LA."


    The culprit behind this discrepancy is those Western media that specialize in reporting on the bad side of China. The Western media with tinted glasses don��t talk about the good side of China, but write the bad ones in capitals and close-ups, hoping that the world will know about it... This aspect says To tell you the truth, it is the same as the TV station "The people of the whole country are happy and happy, and the people of the world are living in dire straits", so don''t blame anyone, everyone is in the same boat, and each other.


    The next morning, the plane rushed back to the south and stopped in the city.


    Considering the itinerary and the convenience of relatives and friends, the banquet was held in a hotel in the city, and an uncle from Anfeng was in charge. Anyway, my father gave me a lot of money, so I don��t know what it will look like. Take the bus to the place to see, it''s not bad, this hotel is often on TV.


    The banquet was held in the afternoon, but people had already arrived in the morning. As soon as An Feng and Joanna appeared, it was customary to be watched for a while. Those seven aunts and eight aunts have long heard that An Feng has married a foreign girl, so they have been nagging since last night until this morning! Everyone said that he has learned a lot, that the kid is capable, and his mother and father are smiling at the praise, and the pride is rising.


    When the real person appeared, everyone would naturally have to watch it, and then they were full of praise.


    In the words of the aunts, it means that she looks beautiful, looks like a lady of everyone, has a natural temperament, and can give birth to babies!


    They came to a conclusion: "Gorgeous but not vulgar, she is definitely a standard lady from a foreign family! An Feng, you got the blessings of eight lifetimes to marry her!"


    An Fenghan is one, and there is such a standard? He translated to Joanna, who didn''t understand the regional accent: "Praise you for your good figure, and bless our marriage."


    "Thank you." Joanna said with a smile.


    "Can you still speak Chinese? It''s time for your family to burn incense!" they said in surprise.


    Pulling the quilt to watch the beautiful foreign bride escape from the three floors inside and outside, and return to the suite above the hotel to rest. Then take a bath and change clothes, and put on a well-prepared dress. The parents were busy with their children. When An Feng and Joanna, who had changed their clothes, appeared, everyone focused their eyes again.


    China pays attention to a festive marriage, so it is natural to wear a red suit. An Feng wears a red Tang suit and black trousers, and has an elegant demeanor. Joanna is eye-catching in whatever clothes she wears because of her figure. The bright red embroidered phoenix cheongsam is added to the body, a string of pearl necklaces is placed around her neck, her hair is pulled up high, and she is wearing pink lipstick. I feel that there is nothing wrong with bright lipstick, but it is appropriate.


    An Feng looked in admiration at those three aunts and six women who said "beautiful but not vulgar" just now, their eyes are so powerful!


    He was also very satisfied with Joanna''s look, and he praised the stylist for turning his wife into a traditional noble style, with bright lipstick, dark eye shadow, long eyelashes, and lighter blush... The style is flamboyant and enthusiastic, a little The son is not low-key, but what''s the use of being low-key for the bride at this time?


    Frank and Kelly also wore Tang suits and cheongsams, dressed up grandly. I heard that they were very interested in these clothes and bought a few more sets.


    When the father-in-law and mother-in-law saw Joanna dressed up to attend, they couldn''t help admiring: "Oh! Look at our daughter! She is so beautiful! Like an angel!"


    An Feng is sweating again, angels are dressed in white, right?


    When my parents saw each other, the smiles on their faces remained undiminished. It''s just that when the mother was satisfied, she murmured: "It would be nice if the daughter-in-law was a little shorter."


    An Feng is childish: "I just want to be tall!"


    After Joanna put on the high heels, the altitude really put a lot of pressure on the ladies. The friends who came one after another looked up after being amazed at the first glance. They thought she was so tall. An Feng was almost there, and he also revealed deep envy from his words.


    Women, who doesn''t want to be tall and leggy, temperamental and sexy?


    An Feng''s classmates and friends saw him, pulled him aside, and reprimanded him: "You are capable, last time I was a **** girl, this time I changed to a noble model! Tell me quickly, what magic method you used, and give some tips to my buddies, go back It is useful for dealing with women, we still have a bunch of singles!"


    ��


    When the newcomers were welcoming guests, Joanna stood at the door, and passers-by couldn''t help but take a few extra glances. It''s just because the city is not big, it''s just an ordinary third-tier city, unlike those in city S and city B, where there are a lot of embassies and consulates, and foreigners can find them casually. It''s different here, and there are not a few foreigners in a year.


    Joanna''s appearance and shape completely match those beautiful foreign girls on TV. She is blond, tall, and dignified. She is exactly a model in a foreign fashion show! Even the relatives and friends of the newlyweds who got married in the same hotel couldn''t help but take a few glances.


    Everyone took advantage of the holidays to get married, and the guests came in through the door. When they passed by, everyone''s eyes unconsciously fixed on the pair of festive red couples, while ignoring the two couples in wedding dresses and suits. Because there is no comparison in terms of temperament or clothing creativity.


    After watching for a while, the red envelopes were all collected, and Joanna joined An Feng''s arm and smiled at the banquet.


    There is no ceremony this time, only a banquet, with more than 20 tables set up, and all familiar or ordinary friends are invited. At the beginning, let''s start with a wonderful piece: a video was played on the projector provided by the hotel, which was filmed in Palm Springs, with a grand wedding banquet with Chinese subtitles.


    Firstly, the beautiful resort is presented, and then it switches to the grand wedding banquet scene. As the camera moves, a group of foreigners in formal suits are smiling or talking... After the band plays, Joanna, who is dressed in a grand and luxurious With a crown on her head and a necklace around her neck, surrounded by little angels, she walked slowly with her head held high, with a faint smile on her face, showing her confidence.


    All the relatives and friends in the audience watched the video attentively, and together with the newcomers and friends in another banquet hall next to it, they also joined in the fun, to appreciate what the majestic western wedding banquet is like, and then compare it with what I plan to do here. I am ashamed that I failed in the ceremony.


    ��


    After the video was finished, everyone applauded, escaped from the western culture, and returned to the oriental atmosphere. When new couples get married, the custom is that the newcomers first serve tea to their parents, and then continue to meet important relatives and friends. No one let them go , the wine glass must be full, and one sip must be light.


    An Feng was under a lot of pressure. Fortunately, some people focused on his father-in-law. Having a drink with this brown-haired foreigner would also be a source of conversation in the future. He relaxed a lot, and his father-in-law was also very useful at critical moments. Frank, who vowed to win respect at the liquor table, went all out today.


    But looking at the face of my mother-in-law, it''s hard to say whether I will kneel on the keyboard tonight...

    ��


    The liveliness of the wedding banquet is still concentrated on the newlyweds. Coupled with Chinese tradition, it is inevitable to deal with enthusiastic drinkers. Every time a table is passed, the least one is poured a glass. An Feng didn''t know how many tables he walked, anyway, he felt dizzy afterward, and couldn''t speak easily...


    Woke up the next day with a headache and the smell of alcohol in the room. Since he got married, he hasn''t been drunk like this for a long time. Well, the last time in Las Vegas counted as one. He sat up, looked at Joanna who was sleeping soundly with his back facing him, got out of bed quietly, opened the window and exhaust, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.


    Squinting her eyes to enjoy the spa massage, after recovering almost, she pulled a bath towel to dry herself and went back to the room. Joanna had already woken up, lying on the bed and staring out the window in a daze. When An Feng sat on the bed, she got up. Needless to say, An Feng knew that she wanted to hug her.


    An Feng held her in his arms, and I don''t know when she started to like this, but it feels good, the soft and docile cat is very comfortable to hold. After rubbing against his chest for a while, Joanna kissed his neck, looked up and said, "This smell is right, it stinks last night."


    An Feng lowered his head and kissed her hair: "Sorry, I must have gone crazy last night, right?"


    "A little bit." Joanna said insincerely, "It''s just...Frank also got drunk, and then you all insist on doing a dance for everyone."


    "What?" An Feng was surprised, dancing with the old man?


    "It''s not the kind of male and female dance you think, haha!" Joanna laughed as she spoke, "It''s the kind of rambunctious dance on the Internet, with boxes on your head, shoes hanging around your neck, or hugging The stools were shaking all over the room. Everyone in the back also made a fuss, it was really messy."


    An Feng was about to cry: "It''s over! It''s over! Just hearing what you say is scary! The wedding banquet turned into a stag party! I''ll have no face in the future!"


    Joanna looked up at him: "I hope you don''t drink so much next time, I can understand this time."


    An Feng nodded: "No. I winked wildly last night to ask them to save me, but a bunch of traitors only want to watch a good show, and they will make a bridal chamber after it''s over."


    "That''s why you''re stupid." Joanna laughed at him.


    An Feng also laughed: "No matter how stupid I am, I will marry you back."


    "Dare to talk sweet again!" Joanna pinched his mouth.


    Chatting with her, kissing and cuddling, the air conditioner in the room is very cool, of course it is comfortable to cuddle with each other, and I spent the morning comfortably in bed. At noon, there is still a simple meal. The guests have almost left, and only some relatives and friends or those who live close are left.


    I still have two days free in China, so I plan to take Joanna for a stroll when I have nothing to do. The city is not big, but it has some history, and it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are many scenic spots around it, so there are good sightseeing options. Under the recommendation of my parents, my parents-in-law are also planning to take a short trip.


    After saying goodbye to relatives and friends, my father drove away in a car to take his parents-in-law to play. The one who stayed behind was the hard-working brother-in-law, and also drove the relatives who came back later, but An Feng also needed a car, so there was some conflict in the plan ...Generally, An Feng''s solution is straightforward.


    "Let''s buy a car!" An Feng said.


    Joanna said that it is not surprising that he did the same thing last time in the UK. He drove a brand new sports car for two days and then donated it.


    Brother-in-law scratched his head: "Is this appropriate?"


    "Haha! I didn''t ask for your opinion!" An Feng smiled subduedly, "What kind of car do you like? Luxury sedan or SUV?"


    The little girl passing by heard this, ran over and shouted: "I want to go too!"


    As a result, five people gathered together and set off. When it comes to buying a car, my brother-in-law has something to say: "You don''t know, when I just graduated, I worked in a Volkswagen 4S store. I worked in sales and after-sales, how to persuade customers to choose high-priced accessories and so on. , are still proficient now!"


    The little girl stuck out her tongue and made a face: "Dad, you''re bragging again!"


    Brother-in-law was defeated at the beginning, An Feng pinched her face: "I learned these things at a young age, tear down your father''s platform, and be careful to get spanked tonight."


    Xiaoyu heard this, and turned to look at Joanna: "Then I will sleep with my aunt! You can stay with Dad tonight! Aunt, aunt, can I?"


    Joanna smiled and hugged her: "Of course, baby."


    The little girl turned her head and smiled: "Uncle, you sleep on the floor."


    An Feng''s black face, it''s everyone''s turn to laugh. Sure enough, this clever girl can''t be provoked casually.


    The brother-in-law changed the subject: "I heard that a car dealer in this city owed debts and ran away with Xiaosan, leaving her wife to pay the debts. The proprietress had no choice but to sell the car at a low price and exchange it Cash. How about we try our luck and maybe find a suitable one?"


    "So weird? Running away with Xiaosan, leaving his wife to pay back the money?" An Feng asked.


    The brother-in-law said with a smile: "It was reported later, and his wife is also very good. She spent money on the headlines of the newspaper to condemn the unscrupulous. It made it known all over the city and got the support of a group of people. But it is only natural to pay back the debt, and she needs it. It��s cash to pay off the debt, so I��m guessing it��s urgent now.��


    An Feng asked: "What brand is there?"


    Brother-in-law said: "Volkswagen and Audi, they belong to the same group anyway."


    An Feng looked at his brother-in-law, then at the broken Jetta, and had an idea... After a while, he came to the dealer mentioned by his brother-in-law. It was not a 4S store, but a second-level dealer, but the store was very large. To achieve this scale is considered powerful, the store operates Volkswagen and Audi respectively.


    A few minutes later, a lady came over in a hurry: "Sorry everyone, the store is understaffed recently, we can''t entertain you, please forgive me!"


    An Feng smiled: "I understand."


    The saleswoman nodded: "What kind of car do you like? Do you focus on comfort or economy?"


    An Feng said: "Let''s take a tour first?"


    The saleswoman said: "No problem."


    An Feng showed everyone around, but he didn''t seem to be very interested in the car. He mostly looked around, looked at the layout, or some other decorations, which made everyone a little confused. After repeated hesitation, the saleswoman asked, "Sir, do you need me to help you?"


    An Feng said this time: "Can you give me the contact information of your boss?"


    Female salesman is vigilant: "Who are you?"


    An Feng shrugged: "I''m not a debt collector. I''m sorry, but I want to discuss some business with your lady boss, about the transfer of this store."


    The saleswoman heard this and said, "Please wait a moment."


    As soon as the other party left, my sister and brother-in-law became puzzled. My sister asked, "Didn''t you mean buying a car? How did it become a transfer?"


    An Feng smiled: "On a whim, haha. But I think this store is very good, brother-in-law, what do you think? According to the car sales in this city, the two brands of Volkswagen and Audi should sell better, right? Even if the sales volume of secondary dealers is less, it doesn��t mean they will lose money, right?��


    The brother-in-law who had sold the car thought for a while and nodded: "Volkswagen, like other Japanese cars, sells better."


    An Feng seduced step by step: "You always said that you sold cars and almost became a manager. Look at the scale of this place, how about being a general manager for you?"


    "What?" Both sister and brother-in-law asked in surprise.


    An Feng shrugged: "Oh, what did I teach you earlier? Relax and be confident! I can afford a private jet, and I can''t afford a store?"


    Sister said: "I don''t doubt that you have no money, but... you don''t live in China, do you?"


    An Feng spread his hands: "That''s why I run it for you! Don''t you plan to let the girl transfer to the city to go to school? I don''t want to find a decent job. In the future, someone will poke my back and say that I have made a lot of money, and I will let my relatives live It''s a hard time! You guys have to help me block it!"


    My sister said again: "But we also plan to go abroad!"


    An Feng was speechless: "There is no conflict, right? I don''t want to transfer or other things when I work, and I didn''t ask you to stay forever, right? Besides, after accumulating experience and gaining insights here, I will go abroad to do other things in the future. Come naturally with confidence, so you don��t have to be timid.��


    They also wanted to say that the female salesperson came on the phone, An Feng took it and went to the side to answer it.


    Joanna looked at them and smiled: "Don''t worry, he will take care of everything, trust him."


    Joanna is not surprised, and this is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened. It would be an exaggeration to think that he booked a two billion cruise ship on a whim.


    After An Feng finished the phone call, he came back and said, "No problem, the proprietress just happened to drop by, and I will talk to her about business later. Now, let''s go to see the car and choose one that I like in the afternoon. I''m looking at the SUV. Not bad, the view is spacious and comfortable, suitable for domestic roads����


    An Feng''s domineering performance alarmed all the sales in the store. They secretly glanced at each of them, wanting to see what a local tyrant looks like... It turned out to be a young man with extraordinary conversation, well-dressed, and a foreign girl. I''m afraid that the jewelry on her body is worth a lot, right?


    Half an hour later, the proprietress arrived.


    It looks like a woman in her forties, a little fat, with a haggard face, maybe because of recent incidents, An Feng sat down with her to discuss business, and the others went to test the car... During the conversation, I learned that the proprietress has been changing hands of the store. I intend to, but there is no suitable buyer.


    Now that An Feng delivered it to her door, she naturally wished for it.


    So the business negotiation went very smoothly, most of the content was about the price, and the proprietress was from the Northeast, she was straightforward, and An Feng was rich, so she didn''t care at all. So it��s a waste of words, but in fact it only took five minutes, you quoted me one by one, and finally the transaction was 12 million.


    For a secondary dealer of this size, 10 million is not bad. If it is a 4S store, it is estimated to be doubled, but the 4S store is too restricted by the manufacturer, so it is not as good as the secondary dealer, who can sell as much as they want. The manufacturer has nothing to do with it, even if a car sells for a dollar, it has nothing to do with you.


    The proprietress happily shook hands with him, obviously satisfied with the price: "Brother, thank you, it really solved the urgent need."


    "It''s okay, I happen to like this store." An Feng also smiled.


    The business has been negotiated, and the next step is to wait for the drafting of the contract and other trivial matters. The draft contract is already available. If it is soon, it will be signed tomorrow, just in time for An Feng to leave. It is very suitable... Then An Feng bought it, maybe The last Audi Q5 before the boss change.


    The whole journey takes about an hour.


    When he left, everyone understood what domineering is.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 147： easy to attract onlookers

    Chapter 147 is easy to attract onlookers


    An Feng didn''t buy this shop on a whim. After he got rich, he thought about changing his family to a better way of life, but he never had any good ideas. That''s when he saw the car shop today. . The brother-in-law wanted to take the children to the city to go to school, and my parents had been doing a lot of activities in the city recently, so I simply let them all move here, live a stable life, and save themselves in that small place.


    An Feng said to his brother-in-law solemnly: "I appoint you as the general manager as the owner of the company. All the affairs will be handled by you, and the salary will also be calculated from the profit. You may lose a little at the beginning, but don''t worry, I won''t be able to find you." , Mom and Dad still have some money, ask them to borrow it!"


    Mom and Dad don��t have a little money, but a lot of money. In the agreement signed with Wang Wei, he will pay them 10 million a year for three consecutive years. The elderly don''t spend much money, except for houses, cars and some activities, most of the rest will go back to the children.


    Let��s talk about the holidays or something like that, as soon as Xiaoyu acts cute, the money will come rushing in.


    Brother-in-law said: "Don''t underestimate me, I was in this industry back then, and almost became a manager."


    Sister stared at him: "Comrade Liu Ze, please be down-to-earth when speaking, don''t just brag!"


    An Feng spoke for brother-in-law: "Sister, don''t underestimate my brother-in-law, he has been a mess over the years, I believe this is okay, I am optimistic about him!"


    "Enough loyalty!" The brother-in-law smiled and put his shoulders on his back, "I didn''t cover you for nothing when I was young!"


    Sister sighed and shook her head.


    An Feng said with a smile: "It doesn''t matter if you mess up, just pay the tuition as if it were more than 10 million!"


    It seems that more than 10 million is a lot, but after converting it into US dollars, it is only 2 million. Compared with An Feng''s current wealth level, I really don''t feel much.


    It would be good to convert this dollar into RMB, I feel very rich.


    After explaining the matter, I will make an overseas call to John, because China''s foreign exchange control is relatively strict, to see if the international account can be used.


    There is a limit for remittances from foreign accounts to individuals, and income certificates need to be submitted. Large remittances will be investigated, but John said that international accounts are not within the scope of control. At most, the remittance of US dollars is converted into RMB according to the exchange rate of the day, and the price may fluctuate. Some.


    After finishing these things, it was only a little more time.


    The contract or finding a lawyer is completely handled by the brother-in-law. As the boss, An Feng of course doesn''t care. He is only responsible for taking Joanna to go shopping.


    Joanna wants to experience the local culture, An Feng can only satisfy her as much as possible, the city center is a good place, there are commercial streets, characteristic streets and so on, the important thing is that there are many people. An Feng subconsciously told Joanna that the large number of people is also a major feature of China, the traffic jam in Los Angeles, the traffic jam here.


    But today...it seems that they are a little more blocked.


    Joanna''s dress is very simple, with a cool white dress and her iconic blonde hair casually, but this simple combination can bring outstanding results. For example, European palaces are generally paired with ivory white and shiny gold, which is luxurious without becoming vulgar.


    The same is true for human beings, it is fresh and natural, and it is far from ordinary. Passers-by turned their heads frequently to prove this point. The city is not like a metropolis where foreigners can be seen everywhere. There are very few foreigners here, especially blond beauties with good looks and temperament.


    When An Feng saw the eyes of the men or women around him, he was thankful. Luckily, he didn''t plan to go to the county town. People there only had the impression of foreign girls from TV and movies, and they had almost never met them in reality. A tall foreign girl with blond hair appeared, why didn''t she get a lot of onlookers? Joanna''s hair is unique in the crowd, the kind that stands out from the crowd, it''s hard not to be noticed.


    But bored = showy person, his thoughts are complicated, and he is a little happy in his heart. His wife can show the stage, and he is naturally proud of receiving attention.


    Walk slowly on the street, and occasionally stop at places where people gather. From the perspective of foreigners, there are still many things full of foreign cultures on the street, which can easily arouse curiosity. After walking for a long time, Joanna especially admired the master who was lying on the ground and writing backwards.


    Although she didn''t know a few Chinese characters, she was still surprised and said to An Feng: "What a great artist! Can we give him some support?"


    "Okay." An Feng nodded. Joanna put several red notes in the bag, and the crowd looked sideways, what a generous person, or a foreign girl?


    Everyone didn''t read the words, just stared at her. Ordinary foreigners will not cause this effect, but for beautiful foreign girls, the effect will be extraordinary. Even if you''re not from abroad, if a beautiful woman suddenly stops by your side, I''m afraid men will take a second look, right?


    The showman said something to Joanna tremblingly, but An Feng didn''t understand much. It seemed like he wished good luck or something. With so much money, let''s change his mood.


    After finishing speaking, An Feng pulled her away. Obviously, everyone was more curious about her. If she stood here as a model again, sooner or later, the big busker would steal the limelight.


    When Joanna left, she was still talking about what happened just now, her sympathy was overflowing, An Feng didn''t feel much, maybe he had seen it too much, he almost saw this scene from a young age, the street art in the commercial district Most of them are either disabled singing or begging for five yuan fare.


    There is nothing wrong with people with disabilities performing their own jobs, at least they are relying on their real skills, but those who ask for five yuan for a fare to go home are so pitiful... It has been five or six years and they haven''t raised enough five yuan. When An Feng passed by, he glanced at the poor "sister". Yo, the price has also increased, eight yuan now!


    It can be seen that the people''s living standards have improved, their consumption power has increased, and they are happier...


    Tired from shopping, they drank freshly squeezed juice in a well-decorated shop to enjoy cooling down.


    Looked up and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the news broadcast on the flat-screen TV on the wall, huh? Isn''t that the building of the Gene and Tima Medical Research Center?


    The camera switches to the interior, followed by Mike Case''s face full of philosophy, speaking English eloquently, talking about some cancer breakthroughs.


    He thought about it, and it was only a few days before the official treatment volunteer that Case mentioned. It is now the seventh, and it will start when it is ready in the middle of the month. The real shock to the world is estimated to be at the end of October. At that time, all doubts will be crushed by hard facts.


    After eating, Joanna dragged her to go shopping again. She changed her routine and liked to drill into crowded places to see what strange things happened. As soon as she passes by, when she sees something funny and speaks English, everyone''s eyes are not on the show, but on her.


    She is too easy to attract crowds.


    An Feng had no choice but to hold her hand and declare ownership.


    Although Joanna can speak some Chinese, this is the first time she has come to mainland China. She is no different from other foreigners. I saw sugar paintings in the cultural snack street. They are paintings made with boiling sugar. Such special shapes, such as butterflies, dragons, phoenixes, etc., she was overjoyed when she saw them, bought several, but refused to eat them, and asked An Feng to hold them in both hands to take pictures for her.


    Finally threw away the sugar painting, and when it was time for the cotton candy, An Feng completely surrendered: "I''m not too old, so it''s not appropriate to run with you with this?"


    "But I like it so much!" She opened her eyes and said pitifully.


    "Okay..." An Feng was helpless.


    When seeing her lively appearance bouncing up and down in front, the embarrassment is worth it.


    ��


    Meet the lawyer at noon the next day, sign the contract in the afternoon, and transfer the money to the other party��s international card. The transaction is basically completed. Some follow-up work will be handed over to the general manager, Comrade Liu Ze. An Feng didn''t care about this aspect, and even gave the contract to his sister for safekeeping.


    In the evening, everyone gathers at the hotel.


    Each of them gained a lot, and there were a lot of gifts. Frank also bought a blue and white ceramic fruit plate. Fortunately, this time it was a private jet, so it would be fine if it was several times more.


    While packing up his things, An Feng handed a big red envelope to Xiaoyu: "Girl, you have been doing very well recently. This is the red envelope my uncle received. I will give you some."


    "Thank you uncle! And beautiful aunt!" Xiaoyu took the red envelope, her mouth was sweet as hell.


    "So cute!" Joanna kissed her forehead.


    Saying goodbye to my parents, I wanted them to live abroad for a while, but no one is free. It is said that my parents have joined the Senior Citizens Activities Association, and they have something to do every week. I heard from my sister that now I just drive a small car and go to the city to play on time every week to cultivate fun or learn from each other. enjoy.


    An Feng naturally has no objection to this, mainly because he is afraid that the elderly will be bored, but now they have more arrangements than himself... Say goodbye to them, get in the car with his parents-in-law, roll down the window and wave goodbye. The plane transferred to SH, followed by customs inspection, and returned to the United States by private business jet.

    After dealing with the vineyard, An Feng returned to San Rafael.


    If you don��t think about it, there is nothing on your body, but if you think about it carefully, there are too many arrangements...including planning to build a building for Joanna...I am not sure whether it is a castle, a mansion or a manor building. They were all items to be selected. He considered them for a long time, but couldn''t grasp the essence.


    While he was scratching his head at the computer, Angela''s call came.


    "Hi, Angela?" An Feng picked up the phone.


    "Hello, Mr. An." Angela always used a soft voice to show cuteness to him, "We have found the design of the racing track you requested last time."


    "Individual or team?" An Feng asked.


    Angela said: "Of course it''s the team. This is a heavy and complicated job. They have designed some famous domestic tracks, and there are retired professional drivers among the members. They can provide opinions with personal experience. You can communicate with them. It must be very rewarding.��


    An Feng nodded habitually: "Okay, may I ask the time?"


    Two days later.


    An Feng agreed with the other party to meet at an ordinary coffee shop in San Francisco. This time, three people came, mainly for preliminary discussions. After sitting down, An Feng was not polite to them, and expressed some of his ideas, including a 5-6 km standard track, luxurious grandstands, and a racing car maintenance center (or museum) for his convenience. Park collectibles��


    The other party carefully recorded An Feng''s request, and kept exchanging opinions with him. After adding or deleting some unnecessary details, the initial intention turned into a business negotiation. Add it all up and improve it bit by bit.


    As a result, they stayed in the coffee shop all afternoon. An Feng drank two sips of coffee in total. Affected by Joanna''s habit, they don''t drink coffee as an irritating beverage. Only tea is their first choice of beverage, so tea is considered high-end now. . He also needs some high-end taste.


    After the discussion is about the same, say goodbye to the design team, agree on a time to sign the contract, and leave the design work to them. An Feng hurried to the parking lot, drove the cool silver 918 away, and accelerated all the way...he had to rush to pick up his wife after class.


    ��


    An Feng has always regarded Joanna''s affairs as an important arrangement. As long as it conflicts with her, many jobs will be rejected, but the ones that cannot be rejected are particularly important and can make him a lot of money��Joanna understands very well, and sometimes Blame him for pampering himself too much, and he won''t do anything in the future.


    In the past few days, another big event happened. The research center is about to start the treatment of the first case of terminal cancer. The news has been known all over the city, and the major media are following up and reporting. They want to see whether this is an oolong or an expert. What he said would be a medical breakthrough that would shock the world.


    For this reason, Joanna felt obliged to urge her husband: "Go, you can''t miss such an important matter, and you will be a hero if you succeed!"


    An Feng stopped in his tracks and turned around: "What if it doesn''t work?"


    "You too." Joanna said with a smile, "but only mine."


    "Goodbye." An Feng said to her. According to the schedule, he needs to stay in Los Angeles for a few days. After all, it is the first time, and he must ensure that there will be no mistakes.


    "Goodbye!" Joanna waved, and after seeing him walk a few steps, she suddenly caught up with him, hugged him and kissed him.


    She smiled and said, "This is to reward you in advance."


    An Feng let her go, got into the car at the door, went to the airport ten kilometers away from home, and flew directly to Los Angeles.


    ��


    Early the next morning, he took the special car from the research center to his destination.


    As soon as I got out of the car, I saw four tall "guards" guarding the entrance, army green short-sleeved T-shirts, khaki overalls, sand-colored military boots, vacuum headsets around their ears, and sunglasses without squinting The appearance is very cool. But the sharp eyes behind their lenses prove that they are not good at all.


    This group of guys dressed like mercenaries are the bodyguards specially sent by Aegis Security. They are all professionally trained elites who can organize battles with guns. From the main entrance to every floor above, Aegis security guards are arranged to patrol. Such strictness is by no means unfounded. There are too many reporters at the gate these days, and there is no choice but to guard against it.


    In addition to guarding against boring reporters, you have to pay attention to confidentiality. Although the focus is on a few experts, there are some special instruments and processes that are kept secret-there is no patent application, and a patent means disclosure. Only fools can do it. Making big money is a must.


    When An Feng came to the door, they scanned the employee identification card they had just handed over, and passed the inspection with a beep, and An Feng''s name and rank were displayed on the scanner, and then two security guards specially escorted him to the elevator , all the way up to the experimental floor.


    Mike Case is waiting for him.


    "Hi, Bruce, long time no see!" Case hugged him, "I heard you got married, how are you doing?"


    "Very good." An Feng said with a smile, "Let''s make a long story short, where is the current development?"


    Case said while walking: "The specific information of the patient has been obtained, the special medicine has been configured, and other equipment has also started to be adjusted..."


    Due to the particularity of this comprehensive therapy, almost every patient has a special treatment method, so it is very troublesome and expensive. The first volunteer was a lady in her 40s, suffering from cancer, with advanced tumors on her body, and according to the common view, she was dying soon.


    The research center has to seek breakthroughs in the most difficult places to achieve the most astonishing effects. The volunteer woman has signed the Volunteer''s Regulations, stating that whether it is success or failure, the risk is borne by her, and if successful, she must cooperate with the research center''s publicity.


    There are a lot of conditions, and they have been reviewed by lawyers anyway, so there is no need to worry about violating the law. An Feng doesn''t care about these, he only cares about the process of implementing the treatment, helping to check where the "apprentices" are not perfect, and make the final remedy, otherwise the treatment will be difficult at the beginning.


    But it turns out that Case and the others are doing a good job.


    The arrival of An Feng is a powerful reassurance for them��this godlike young man has made experts completely ignore his age, gender or race. They can''t catch up, they can only worship.


    Formal treatment begins the next day.


    In addition to preparing a group of high-quality security teams, the research center also prepared personnel to deal with the media, press spokespersons and the like, making it very professional. The research center also has a share of Mrs. Sinclair, so the political background is complex and green-lighted in many ways.


    Case and their licensed assistants walked into the treatment room one after another. There were many helpers, from nurses to professional surgical experts, to medical experts who were purely observing. Their rigorous work is about to begin, and as long as they succeed, they will become famous all over the world.


    As for An Feng... playing computer games in his office on the top floor.


    Beside him, a little secretary was helping him sort out the employee contracts. Last time, the research center signed a few experts from Case and paid them the same lucrative salaries as when they were working in universities. The agreement period was five years. Even if the research is successful, there is no need to worry about them running around with the technology.


    Sorting out the contract is mainly to modify some benefits. If it works, you have to reward the staff, right?


    In fact, experts are not the focus. An Feng��s focus is on drugs��patented ones. This fast, but costly treatment, only the rich can enjoy. It can bring money, but it cannot bring him huge profits. Only the mass-produced drugs on the assembly line are the key to getting rich.


    Little secretary Julie looked up at An Feng who was fighting fiercely with the computer, walked over lightly, put the documents on the desk, and said, "Mr. An, the classification has been completed."


    An Feng looked up at Julie, who was a little nervous, and said, "Leave it alone. When my lawyer comes, you can inform me, or you can go and get it to them."


    "Let me inform you, Mr. Ann." Julie said.


    "Okay." An Feng nodded, and added: "Thank you, you did a good job."


    Julie smiled: "Thank you sir."


    The little girl retired happily, An Feng smiled, who just graduated? Always treat your boss with care and try not to make mistakes.


    The treatment on the first day only took three hours. Case��s report went well, and the team repeated some difficult handling methods with An Feng. After getting his nod, they prepared for the second stage of treatment with confidence. At this time, many curious reporters had gathered outside the building.


    But the vicious security guard completely blocked the curious eyes.


    The next day An Feng was still playing games in the office, and had a video chat with Joanna who was resting on the bed for a while. Looking at the news, there are also small-scale discussions on the Internet, and the tone is relatively pertinent. I hope that the research center can bring new hope, but there are always people who are ridiculed.


    An Feng didn''t care about the clown, and continued to relax.


    The results on the second day were also very successful. After all, the master was in charge, and the experts had no worries, so they naturally did things quickly and neatly.


    On the third day, An Feng slept all morning. Because of the treatment procedure, he had to work late at night... When he woke up, he went for a walk on the beach and watched the sunset.


    Franklin has revised the new contract, which will extend the working time of the experts to ten years, and at the same time give them a certain percentage of share, a total of 5%, to stabilize the morale of the army.


    On the afternoon of the fourth day, cheers and celebrations came from An Feng''s office.


    Success��Although the ten-day completion period is less than halfway, 90% of it has been completed now. It can be said that the chances of winning are sure. Even if there is an accident, it will not affect the result. At best, it will be some follow-up treatments. The success of the first patient also announced a breakthrough in this technology.


    An Feng also heaved a sigh of relief. A breakthrough is a good thing. At least to a certain extent, the medicine of the comprehensive method is similar to the chemical medicine that will be developed later. It succeeded here, which proves that the next step is not wrong. The blueprint for medical hegemony is slowly unfolding in this research center.


    An Feng called Joanna to announce the good news.


    She congratulated herself, her excited tone felt like she had made a breakthrough, not An Feng himself.


    Then called Mrs. Sinclair again.


    An Feng talked about the progress of research and development and his own professional opinions. Although he didn''t understand the professional vocabulary, Mrs. Sinclair could fully understand the meaning: the cure is sure. Although it wasn''t placed on her, it was no less than seeing the dawn in the darkest hour.


    Chatted with the excited old lady for a while. After hanging up the phone, An Feng stretched his waist and walked to the conference room. The next step was some work and confidentiality arrangements. After making a breakthrough, you still need to face the media and face doubts, but the most important thing is how to do a good job of publicity.


    This will be explosive news.


    An Feng was full of energy, and there was another big money-making project.

 Chapter 149： cooperate

    Chapter 149 Cooperation


    The research center will release the results at the end of the month, but An Feng has no patience to wait until the end of the month.


    So he walked around the luxury stores in Los Angeles and bought some gifts that Joanna might like, most of them were jewelry, although her box was full...but it��s always right to buy more for his wife, Choose from a wide range if necessary. I also bought a new Prada handbag for her.


    Then fly home and surprise her.


    Things are going well and the days are happy. While waiting for the news of the explosion, An Feng occasionally pays attention to the race track, SHIELD, or the robot company. Or pick up Joanna on time, pamper her like a goddess, and make all women envy and men admire is his goal.


    It is very successful so far, and the smile on Joanna''s face is not missing... When they have free time in the afternoon, they will dress up as a passionate couple, walk in the nearby streets or parks, walk the dog, and walk side by side on the tree-lined path Enjoy a leisurely and fulfilling life in the afternoon.


    was holding Joanna''s little hand in a daze, when the phone rang, picked it up and answered: "Hi, Xiaolezi!"


    "Crap! Call me Brother Le!" Wang Le scolded, "Bitch, are you still in California recently?"


    "Yes, San Raphael is here to accompany my wife." An Feng looked at Joanna, who was holding a dog leash with one hand and his with the other, and smiled at her.


    "Hi! Jimmy!" Joanna greeted Wang Le on the phone, whose English name was "Jimmy".


    "Didn''t disturb your enjoyment of life?" Wang Le on the phone thought maliciously.


    "Your sister! How about simply walking the dog and basking in the sun!" An Feng said contemptuously, "I think you are the kind of beast that is playing with primitive people while making phone calls!"


    Wang Le laughed a few times, and returned to the topic: "I plan to visit your house tomorrow, is it okay to make an appointment now?"


    "Whatever, let me know when you arrive in San Francisco, and I will pick you up." An Feng said.


    Wang Le said: "Thank you. Also, brother, I''ve made it clear. I plan to invest in a green card. Without a green card, it will be difficult to live in the United States."


    "Finally enlightened! It seems that Lisa has trained you well!" An Feng said with a smile.


    The two continued to attack each other on the phone, talking nonsense, and after hanging up the phone, they happened to meet Lin Hai and his **** who came from the opposite side...or Alaska, anyway, they were pretending to be noble wild wolves with piercing eyes character. Lin Hai said hello: "Good afternoon, both of you!"


    Both An Feng and Joanna greeted each other, but as Lin Hai talked, he started to shift the matter to the business side. An Feng hurriedly acted first: "Well, we have time tomorrow Saturday and afternoon, and we invite you The family is here as a guest, how about we take a yacht cruise in San Francisco Bay?"


    Lin Hai listened and nodded: "Okay, we will arrive on time at one o''clock."


    An Feng said goodbye to him and continued to walk in the park. Lily is very good every time she goes out, even if the rope is loosened, it is still swaying around the owner. They sat on the bench and watched Lily deal with other dogs, from being unfamiliar at the beginning to wagging her head and tail at the back, it was very interesting.


    ��


    At noon the next day.


    Wang Le and Lisa arrived in the morning and are making juice in the kitchen, preparing for an afternoon outing. Joanna also prepared some beef, fruits and vegetables and moved them to the yacht kitchen. I don''t eat too much, some fruit salad, a few slices of meat and juice can make me feel comfortable in the afternoon.


    After finishing, Joanna came back and hugged his neck: "What kind of bikini do you think I should wear?"


    An Feng thinks: "You can consider a pink tone with a translucent veil tied around the waist, or a white tone bikini and a light blue veil."


    She nodded: "What else?"


    An Feng added: "Be more sexy, you have such a good figure, it''s a waste if you don''t show it off."


    "Adopt your opinion." Joanna kissed him, and went upstairs lightly.


    The doorbell rang, An Feng went to open the door, Lin Hai��s family came, invited them into the house, and then introduced Wang Le and the others to each other. Everyone was very happy to meet Chinese-speaking compatriots, and there were many topics to talk about. In the afternoon, we set off when we were ready.


    An Feng was wearing a pair of beach shorts and sunglasses on board. This 15-meter yacht is very dexterous and can easily turn around in the canal.


    And there is a tow hook under the stern platform, which allows him to pull a two-person motorboat out to sea.


    Captain An Feng turned around and let the yacht sail into San Francisco Bay. There are many scenic spots in the Bay Area, such as the cities along the way, the scenery of the bridge, or some famous islands. Such as "Devil''s Island", the island of death where prisoners were imprisoned in the last century, surrounded by sea, even if they escaped, it would be useless to face the vast ocean.


    However, Alcatraz Island has now become a scenic spot, and many people visit it every day. When passing by the island, everyone ran to the front deck, stood by the fence and looked at the scenery of the island. Now freed, she''s clearly happy.


    An Feng opened the skylight above his head to let the sun shine in. The weather in mid-October has lost the heat of summer, and the temperature is now in the 20s. The sun is warm and it is specially prepared for going out to play in the water. He increased the speed of the yacht, tilted the bow slightly, the waves were rolling behind him, and the wind was blowing in front of him.


    The ladies were blowing the wind and discussing the play items. The men returned to the back deck, sat on the sofa, poured juice and enjoyed leisure. An Feng walked around the San Francisco Bay Area, then drove in at full speed, crossed the Golden Gate Bridge, and headed for the Pacific Ocean. If you want to have fun, the Pacific Ocean is the first choice.


    After driving for a certain distance, slow down, there is a large landmass and a small city behind, and an endless ocean in front of you, the sky above your head is blue and clear, with only a few white clouds floating occasionally, and the temperature is not very hot, Best for lounging on the foredeck and sunbathing.


    Stopped the boat, An Feng went to the lower living area to get a few bottles of beer and threw them to the guys, then took Joanna''s cosmetic bag to the front deck. As he wished, she was wearing a very **** white bikini, with a light blue veil draped below her waist, and the sea breeze blew, her beauty looming.


    At least three people can lie down on the front deck to enjoy sunbathing, but the ladies have had enough fun just now, and now they can rest on the sofa on the back deck and listen to some music. An Feng came to sit down next to Joanna, gave her a glass bottle of mineral water to replenish some water, and then took out the bottles in the bag.


    This woman is very particular about basking in the sun. There are a lot of high-end brands, such as applying base cream first, and then applying sunscreen, and replenishing it every once in a while. There are even details, such as sunscreen lipstick on the lips... An Feng said it was a mess , do as Joanna asked.


    "Help me paint my back." Joanna lay on the mat, unbuttoned her bikini, An Feng pouted, applied some in his hands, and then slowly massaged her. She squinted her eyes slightly, the expression on her face very relaxing. An Feng is also willing to enjoy the **** service requested by his wife.


    "Do you want to paint it on?" An Feng looked at her butt.


    "Everyone is watching." Joanna twitched.


    "It''s better to have some." An Feng knew that she was embarrassed by face, so he helped her smear the erogenous area. This requires a certain amount of willpower, otherwise it will be embarrassing.


    I''m used to living in the United States, so it''s not unusual. There are still people drying their upper body on the beach in Santa Monica, although Joanna is no different now. Westerners have different living habits, so they should be more open. Even a lady like Joanna does not reject this approach.


    Lisa, who had enough rest, pulled Wang Le over. Lisa went to the side and began to prepare for sunbathing. Wang Le hummed: "Don''t look at evil."


    "Grass! Less feudal!" An Feng despised him, his eyes swept over Lisa''s figure, with long legs and straight breasts, which is very good, but it is not far from Joanna''s best.


    Lisa smiled and said, "Your wife is beside you!"


    An Feng shrugged: "I can''t just close my eyes and pretend I don''t want to see it, can I?"


    Wang Le smiled: "Little man!"


    An Feng is proud: "Better than a hypocrite!"


    They all laughed, but Joanna was still very open-minded and didn''t blame him. We are friends anyway, so there is nothing strange. If you don''t mind this, you really have to poke your eyes out when you go to the public bathing place. Alright... finish the painting, mark the time for her, and return to the rear deck. Let the two ladies slowly enjoy the sunshine and sea breeze, as well as fashion magazines and endless gossip topics...


    Not long after sitting down, she found that Lin Xiaofei couldn''t bear it, and jumped into the sea to swim... Sure enough, she was young and invincible, Gao Jie was a little worried: "There are no sharks in this sea, right?"


    An Feng smiled: "Don''t worry, sister, here is so close to the human living area, a lot of people come out to play every day, sharks won''t come."


    Everyone sat down, shared some juice, and chatted aimlessly.


    Wang Le talked about his immigration: "There is a plan, but I just can''t find a suitable investment project. Although the 500,000 investment in the central area is very simple, it is also risky. It will take a long time to get a green card. It��s better to have more money, but it doesn��t mean that you will lose money, right?��


    An Feng nodded: "That''s the reason. For example, my current vineyard may not necessarily lose money if I change hands now."


    Wang Le said: "But I just can''t find a suitable project, and I don''t have so much energy to do it alone. I just want to come to play when I invest."


    Lin Hai suggested: "Why don''t you invest the money in the winery?"


    Wang Le asked: "Is this okay?"


    An Feng said: "With some formalities and certificates, a winery can provide more than ten jobs? With an investment of millions, the Immigration Bureau will have no problem."


    "Didn''t you say it earlier? It caused me to die a large group of brain cells!" Wang Le yelled.


    "Hahaha, you didn''t ask!" An Feng said with a smile, and touched the wine bottle with them, "But let me tell you in advance, the winery may not make money."


    Wang Le shrugged: "The investment is completely exchanged for a green card, and acquaintances have more peace of mind."


    Lin Hai also understood very well: "There are risks in everything you do, but your risk is relatively low here. Those who have made wine over the years will not lose too much."


    An Feng smiled: "Okay then, the two of you invest some capital, and we will work together to establish a winery, and then Brother Li will be in charge of sales."


    Everyone be quiet.


    "What''s next?" Wang Le felt that he had only half spoken.


    An Feng was embarrassed: "This... I haven''t thought of it yet."


    Everyone is sweating, can''t you think a little further?

 Chapter 150： Exoskeleton【Third watch】

    Chapter 150 Exoskeleton��Third watch��


    When it comes to business, this topic seems endless.


    An Feng frequently looked at his mobile phone, shit, half of the good time with his wife wasted, after their discussion was almost done, An Feng said: "That''s it, this time I asked you to come out to play, not to discuss business in a different environment! Are you worthy of the blue sea and blue sky around you?"


    They were stunned, hearing this statement for the first time.


    An Feng glanced at them and continued: "From now on, free activities! Whoever talks about business again will be a bastard!"


    This sentence is very effective, and everyone in the back really dare not go overboard easily... An Feng played some soothing music, drank beer together, and bragged...


    It was three or four o''clock, the sun was no longer so fierce, and the ladies on the front deck had had enough sun, put on their bikinis again, and went back to the back deck to chat.


    An Feng is sitting cross-legged on the sofa, fighting the landlord with Wang Le and Lin Hai.


    Joanna stood behind and looked at his neck for a while, then said softly, "May I make you some lunch?"


    An Feng nodded: "It''s troublesome, dear."


    "It''s okay." Joanna didn''t leave after speaking. An Feng naturally understood what she meant, turned around and kissed her, and then left with a smile.


    Lin Xiaofei saw her face full of envy: "You guys are so loving, I want to find a husband like this too."


    Gao Jie gave her a white look: "You are so young, why do you think about this all day long? At least you have to wait until your brothers and sisters are old enough to think about it."


    Lin Xiaofei curled up on the sofa, picked up a magazine and flipped through it: "If I can find such a caring boyfriend, God can''t stop me."


    Her parents expressed their helplessness.


    Instead, Lisa came over and poked An Feng with her finger, pointing to the motorboat at the stern: "Can you drive out?"


    "Oh, I almost forgot!" An Feng threw the key next to her to her, "Just play around, remember to untie the rope below and use some strength."


    "I want to go too!" Lin Xiaofei threw away the magazine.


    The two girls untied the rope, rode on the motorboat, started "booming", and soon were able to soar on the sea, chasing the waves, and their screams could be heard from time to time. There are other people around who are playing in motorboats. Seeing that there are all beauties here, they can''t help but want to have a friendly match to show off their skills, so that some men who fight against the landlord want to ride out and have a good time. .


    Wang Le said to An Feng: "If you want to enjoy this, you really have a lot of tricks."


    "Thank you." An Feng stood up with a smile and stretched his waist, "Shall we dive while it''s still early?"


    "Let''s go!" Everyone hit it off. The yacht is two or three meters above the waterline, which is more than enough for diving, and the sea water in the outer sea is not polluted, and it is a piece of blue. People can''t help but want to plunge into it when they see it. It''s comfortable Swim in the embrace of nature.


    After Joanna brought out the steak, everyone disappeared. They sat on the sofa and replenished themselves with some skin care products. The wet An Feng climbed up from the stern.


    She begged: "Hungry, feed me."


    "Of order!" An Feng smiled and hugged Joanna, who was carrying the plate, and stepped on the stairs to the aft platform amidst her happy cheers. He sat on the high-grade teak floor and stretched his legs to In the sea water, she sat sideways on her lap, sharing the delicately grilled delicacies together.


    Kiss from time to time, and then look at everyone playing on the sea, talking to each other about light topics, this hand is occasionally unruly, put it in some imaginative places, challenge her patience, and then Joanna Punishment... This life doesn''t trade for anything.


    ��


    In the evening they returned to San Rafael.


    Wang Le and Lisa stayed as guests, Lin Hai''s family said goodbye, Lin Xiaofei wanted to stay and spend the night with his brothers and sisters, but in the end it was changed to the next time.


    After a few days of excitement, they went to register An''s Winery. Anfeng holds 60% of the shares, Wang Le and Lin Hai each hold 20%, with a capital of 6 million, no more, no less, tens of millions in RMB. To run a new winery, the funds are fully sufficient, and the management of sales is Lin Hai.


    Anyway, there is no other candidate besides him.


    After finishing these matters, Wang Le was busy dealing with the immigration bureau, while An Feng also waited for his own affairs.


    Robotics has a breakthrough.


    Colin Hoffman, a geek, is so fierce that he managed to produce a set of exoskeleton that An Feng wanted that is more in line with realistic standards in a short period of time.


    Of course, this is not difficult, nor beyond the existing technology. An Feng''s arrangement was just to test the cooperation ability of the research team.


    It is reflected in this set of test items.


    If the development speed is fast, the cooperation is tacit, and Hoffman is satisfied, then the team will be finalized. And if there are frequent troubles during the cooperation and the personnel cannot cooperate, you have to consider reducing or reassigning personnel��everything is based on Hoffman''s preferences, because he is the research director, and because he is the smartest and fastest, isn''t it? Instead of looking for the best, pick the bad ones?


    An Feng flew to the robot company in San Jose by helicopter. After several rounds of job fairs hosted by John, the company currently has 30 technicians, and 10 other personnel, administrative secretaries, and finance. The number of people is small, and there is basically no need for full-time management, so An Feng did not recruit.


    After the plane stopped, he walked towards Warehouse No. 1, which had been transformed into two laboratories. He spent a lot of money to buy a batch of machinery and equipment, and invested more than two million US dollars, which barely met Hoffman''s requirements. He also passed These machines produced the exoskeleton An Feng requested.


    Some parts are purchased from outside. Obviously Hoffman thinks that time should not be wasted on the existing parts, so he ordered a large number of them and assembled them into a set of exoskeletons with a weight of about 65 catties. In terms of standards, 50 catties is relatively advanced.


    Now the requirements are lower, 65 catties, quietly placed in the No. 1 laboratory, it looks like a huge Transformer, and it must be inconvenient to wear it.


    The exoskeleton required by An Feng is to feel the same when wearing it and not wearing it. It is always important to keep it as low as possible, preferably like wearing only a coat.


    But that''s going to take a while to get there.


    Hoffman, who was wearing a dirty lab coat, saw An Feng and immediately walked over: "Mr. An, can you carry out the actual test now?"


    I used to say that Case and the others are not particular, and they like to get straight to the point, but now they don��t even have the small talk.


    An Feng nodded: "Okay, let me try."


    An Feng didn''t take off his clothes either, and went into battle in casual clothes.


    The technicians used mechanical tools or hands to slowly put An Feng on the exoskeleton. Since it was not a layer of armor, it was not as cool as Iron Man in the movie, and it was even ugly. With a lot of scrap iron on his body, he looked bloated and heavy. It took half an hour for six technicians to install it.


    Hoffman took a few steps back and said: "You can try to take a step, and the computer chip will receive the motion feedback from your muscles and make the exoskeleton respond."


    An Feng tried to take a step. It was very light, but it was a bit difficult to maintain his balance. He looked down at his feet, took the second step, landed firmly, and breathed a sigh of relief. He continued to take three or four steps, and at the same time, he was connected to a lot of data cables, recording data on the computer at the other end.


    Hoffman continued: "Try the body movements, bend down, stretch your hands..."


    An Feng did all the movements that a normal person should have. He did it slowly. He didn''t dare to go too fast, for fear that the feedback of the exoskeleton to the living body would not be sensitive enough... The result was good. As long as he had the idea of ??stretching and bending his arms, The hydraulic system will drive the body and make movements.


    After practicing for 20 minutes, enter the challenge session.


    Hoffman said: "Lift the iron box on the ground, pay attention, it weighs fifty kilograms, and you can only use one hand."


    An Feng wanted to nod, but he held back. An inadvertent little movement made the machine nod its head. This needs to be improved. Otherwise, in critical situations, such as shooting a gun, the computer would not pull the trigger. If the instruction is received and the action feedback is made, then it will be bad.


    The iron box was placed on the table in front of him. The difficulty of the first test was very low. If it was placed on the ground, he would have to bend down, which would increase accidents.


    Lifting the box was not done by hand, but by a hook extended from the exoskeleton. Slowly hook the hook to the iron box, lift it hard, and lifted it up very easily. Fifty kilograms felt like more than ten kilograms to him. Of course, it is not easy for ordinary people to weigh more than ten kilograms.


    There is the principle of mechanical transmission, that is, the combination of hydraulic system and electric power. This technology is actually around us, like the steering wheel of a car, the typical hydraulic power steering, especially when some women are driving, they do not have enough strength to turn. If there is a power assist system, they can control this clumsy steering wheel with very little force and easily drive a car.


    The principle is basically the same, but the hydraulic system used on the exoskeleton will be more complicated, especially after miniaturization, like the current sixty kilograms? Don''t even think about it! An Feng allowed up to fifteen catties, and he couldn''t be as bloated as he is now. He asked that even if he was wearing an exoskeleton, he could also wear a suit.


    It��s not just about improving the load-bearing capacity, but about simultaneously improving dexterity, speed, and responsiveness, so that you can immediately become ��superman�� when you put on an exoskeleton.


    The requirements here are too high, and there is still a long way to go. In An Feng''s robot plan, such a lightweight exoskeleton is only the first step.


    It takes a long, long way to develop the human body from the exoskeleton and let the machine replace it, or perfect the exoskeleton armor. This is why Anfeng wanted to do it at the beginning, but struggled with insufficient funds. Even if the direction and theory are correct, R&D still costs money.


    Fortunately, there is a genius like Hoffman, who was born for An Feng''s robot project.


    Afterwards, I discussed with him about the R&D team. When we didn��t talk about professionalism, this guy stuttered again. It sounded like he was dissatisfied with some people, but he was embarrassed to say it outright. It was a simple matter of a few words. An Feng struggled with him for ten minutes to find out clearly.


    After that, An Feng made a decision to transfer the employees who couldn''t get along with Hoffman to another R&D group��the robot company is not only developing exoskeletons, but also some small machines. An Feng is also thinking about selling cute robot dogs. So staff are basically not enough.


    The remaining researchers have satisfied Hoffman, so that he can start at full speed.


    An Feng handed Hoffman the second set of exoskeleton drawings, this time will be advanced technology. Its weight is greatly reduced, and it is also more exquisite. The exoskeleton is close to the body and is no longer bloated. Anfeng''s plan is to design the upper limbs first, then the lower limbs, and finally combine them, and then further streamline them.


    Finally, the personal exoskeleton is available.

 Chapter 151： conspiracy

    Chapter 151 Conspiracy


    Another week passed.


    On another Saturday, An Feng and his wife flew to Los Angeles for vacation. It is convenient for people who have a plane. It seems that six or seven hundred kilometers are far away, but for them, it is just a luxurious wait of forty or fifty minutes. For those who live far away in big cities, it takes more than an hour to drive to and from get off work.


    The work of the research center is coming to an end, the patient has been completely cured, there are still fragmentary work left, and the press release that is being prepared nervously, dealing with various media, scientific doubts... Anyway, everyone is full of joy, because the big boss has spoken , bonuses will be issued this month.


    The U.S. economy has been weak, and it is difficult for companies to pay bonuses. Many small and medium-sized enterprises do not have year-end bonuses. Therefore, An Feng''s bonus at the end of the month is exciting, and it also allows everyone to devote more energy to work and perform hard... But the big boss is playing with his wife on the beach at the moment.


    Anyway, An Feng didn''t regard himself as a serious scientist, and it was enough to guide him once in a while. He didn''t want to come at the most critical moment this time, but Joanna wanted to witness miracles, and also wanted to eat French food and buy a new one. bags, as well as necklaces and two custom dresses��


    On the beach in Santa Monica.


    An Feng held the mobile phone, and Joanna took a lot of poses with the beach as the background. After being able to zoom out and fall into the water, he stayed away from photography.


    The waves of the sea were churning, and the waves chased the crowd to the beach, washed Joanna''s ankles, and her skirt was fluttering in the wind. She twirled around the skirt happily. An Feng recorded these energetic and wonderful shots, and then she trotted over , to check the shooting result just now.


    "This one is so ugly, the hair is flying all over the face! Delete it!" She pointed aside.


    Deleted a lot of good photos, Joanna took his phone away, tapped the screen with her fingers nimbly, glanced at him, smiled and typed a line: my most beautiful goddess. Upload with a few pictures. She turned the screen to him: "How about it? I''m so beautiful, you will gain a lot of fans!"


    An Feng was infected by her liveliness and confidence, and smiled heartily.


    "Carry me this way." Joanna pointed to a short stretch of soft sand ahead.


    An Feng bent over with his back to her: "Come on, baby!"


    "Oh!" Joanna jumped on his back, put her arms around his neck, and said affectionately, "You are so kind...you will meet my requirements."


    An Feng said with a smile: "Who made you my wife!"


    She smiled: "I will satisfy you too."


    An Feng walked a few steps behind her back, the mobile phone in her hand rang, she pressed to answer, the voice was very soft and sweet: "Hi!"


    "Mr. An?" The other end of the phone hesitated.


    "I''m Mrs. Ann." She said with a smile.


    "Oh��Ms. An, hello, I''m glad to hear your voice. The voice is beautiful, and you must be very beautiful." The other party also smiled and complimented him.


    "Your mouth is so sweet too! I''ll give him the phone!" Joanna put the phone to his ear, and An Feng said, "Hi, Mike?"


    Case''s voice came: "It''s me, how about relaxing with your wife?"


    An Feng smiled: "Yes, we are at the seaside, what happened?"


    Case said: "No problem, if there are no accidents, we can hold a press conference tomorrow and announce this breakthrough to the world!"


    "Congratulations." An Feng said, "But calm down, this is only the first stage, and there will still be a Nobel Prize for you in the latter stage!"


    Case said: "Your help is absolutely indispensable. Without you, we would not be able to get to where we are today."


    Chatted with the excited Case for a while, then hung up the phone.


    ��


    The breakthrough of the research center is indeed worldwide. Two weeks ago, she was a terminal cancer patient who was about to be critically ill. Under the shooting of the media, the lady expressed her determination that she would rather give it a go than sit and wait for death. But now, her complexion has turned around, with a smile on her face.


    Although the treatment process was kept strictly confidential, and the security guards of SHIELD Security completely blocked the curious, it does not mean that the research center did not allow filming. Some big TV stations were still able to track and record, and when the news started to broadcast, the news spread all over the world in an instant.


    Completely overcome cancer, and it is still an advanced patient, which is unimaginable at all... It feels like technology has leapt for decades, but the facts are right in front of us, and there is no room for doubt. After the news release, there will be various tests to prove it A major success in medicine.


    The media these days can almost be described as a catastrophe.


    The "Jean and Tima Medical Research Center" became popular almost overnight and is well known to the world.


    As for An Feng...it''s nothing to worry about, because it''s true, and there are no surprises, but Joanna is very happy, saying that her hero is the best.


    Just when the news exploded, the scientists became famous, and the media cheered, the real expert��An Feng, was invited to the reception at the mansion in Beverly Hills.


    I don��t know why Matthew chose Beverly Hills. It��s a high-end community where celebrities are haunted, but it��s incomparable with top rich people like him. For example, the isolated and curious mansion in Santa Barbara last time. The road takes a few minutes to drive.


    was picked up by a Bentley to the location, and someone specially came to open the door.


    An Feng is naturally in a formal suit, but Joanna is dressed like a star on the red carpet. She is wearing a formal evening dress, a black mermaid skirt with some shining crystals on it. It is very grand, but in order to highlight the characteristics of the dress, She doesn''t have much jewelry, just a pair of earrings.


    Sometimes jewelry is just an embellishment, not a theme, and talent is.


    Let Joanna walk in with her arms crossed. The house is huge. In Beverly Hills, luxury houses of this size and decoration are estimated to cost tens of millions. After entering, the reception has already started, but no one minds that An Feng is late, because he is famous enough, and he is the special guest of the host of the reception.


    "Hey! Look at you!" Matthew walked over with a smile, "With a smile on his face, and his wife is so beautiful, life must be wonderful!"


    "Thank you!" An Feng shook hands with him, hugged him, and said, "It''s a happy event for us."


    Matthew smiled: "Of course, tonight''s reception is just for you."


    An Feng was a little puzzled, but when the other guests chatted with him and his wife one by one, he found that he was really the focus of entertainment. Although he didn''t know these people, among the guests present, he was most familiar with Matthew, and Several other frequent partners.


    But now the tempo is a bit leaning towards... flattering him.


    That''s right, look at these people, they all took the initiative to come forward, showing elegant etiquette to themselves with smiles on their faces, as if they were specially trying to win his favor.


    After Matthew made the recommendation, he went to chat with other people. An Feng''s side seemed to be a small circle of people vying to hand over business cards. The shareholders of the group company are also very important when they take it out.


    An Feng is not a novice anymore. With a net worth of tens of billions, except for some really big families, he can despise most of the people present. So his attitude is very indifferent, even if the other party is very enthusiastic, he still uses his own method to deal with them.


    After chatting for a while, Joanna was also warmly invited to the circle of other ladies and ladies, chatting happily, discussing topics such as fashion and luxury consumption. She knows no less than them in this regard, whether it is the foundation or the present, she has a wide knowledge of this aspect.


    After dealing with the warm guests, An Feng finally stood with Matthew.


    "How is it? It''s nice to find a relationship with everyone, isn''t it good?" Matthew said with a smile, and touched his wine glass with him.


    "It''s okay." An Feng said.


    Matthew said: "You have to adapt to this. As a core member of the group, you must have the indifference just now. You just need to know that it is only natural for them to curry favor with you."


    An Feng smiled. Matthew was right. He could use these relationships. Among the crowd just now, there were merchants in the media industry, red wine industry, or other luxury industries. If needed, give them a call and they will help��but they will owe you favors. In the future, they will climb up their big tree, get in touch with higher-level circles, and get to know more heavyweights and rich people.


    It''s like trying to get acquainted with someone in the Sinclair family through yourself. Don''t look at Matthew standing here, but he is not very interested in these people. If it weren''t for the warm invitation from the owner of the house, he would not choose this place for the reception tonight. The right is to expand An Feng''s social circle.


    When I was with Matthew and several core members, the topic came. Matthew said: "I heard that your second plan is the research and development of anti-cancer drugs?"


    An Feng nodded: "Of course, medicines that can be accepted by ordinary people and require a certain amount of money can bring me almost crazy benefits."


    Matthew appreciated: "The essence of making money is the long flow of water, but how long do you expect to see results?"


    An Feng thought for a while: "It is estimated that it will take at least half a year. If it is slower, it may be a year or two. The work in this area is more complicated."


    Matthew suggested: "In fact, even if a drug is developed, it doesn''t have to be launched too soon, because your comprehensive therapy can squeeze the fat of those rich people."


    An Feng nodded, "Yes, this is also a way to seek profits."


    Matthew continued: "Then what''s next? If you make a breakthrough, you won''t continue to plan to resell it, will you?"


    "No." An Feng shook his head, it costs hundreds of billions, and there are really few companies that can afford it. "I''m going to find a partner."


    Matthew''s smile widened.


    An Feng knew what he was thinking, and he also had the intention: "Your mother holds 30% of the shares in the research center, and with the influence of the family, it is no problem to support a pharmaceutical factory?"


    "Of course no problem." Matthew was waiting for this simple sentence, "We can take full control of a pharmaceutical factory and then authorize patent production. As for other public relations, market rules and so on, don''t worry, the family will handle it, this will not Someone can stop us from making money."


    An Feng said: "After making another additional investment, you can invest in a pharmaceutical factory."


    Matthew agrees that there is a huge market for effective anticancer drugs. Last year, the global output value of anticancer drugs was 70 billion US dollars. Various complex factors increase the chance of human beings suffering from cancer. People suffer from cancer every year, and drugs with good curative effects are definitely the overlords of the monopoly market.


    From the perspective of a businessman, it is not necessary to cure with one course of treatment. Two to three, or longer, can be considered. Anyway, it is to give patients hope, but it cannot be achieved immediately. It sounds ugly, but it is a common unspoken rule in the medical field, no matter what kind of medicine it is.

 Chapter 152： new passport

    Chapter 152 New Passport


    Except for the initial pleasantries, An Feng spent the rest of the time communicating with members of the core group. This time he did not intend to share benefits with outsiders, but only cooperated with his own people. Implemented with the strength of the Sinclair family, although it has little connection with the original domain, it is fully capable of carrying the flag.


    When An Feng went to a small meeting, Joanna naturally became the first choice of "Madam Diplomacy". It is impossible for men to be overly courteous to other wives, but women are fine. They surround Joanna like stars and follow her Topics, her preferences continue to be exchanged, as if they are the center.


    The reception ended in a good atmosphere. Joanna received various invitations from the ladies. She responded with a smile, neither refusing nor replying immediately. To be proficient, there is no need to worry about her not being able to play well.


    After the reception, fly home at night.


    ��


    When the research center became popular all over the world, An Feng received a notification from an immigration agency.


    The intermediary responsible for him said that if he had time to go to St. Kitts Island in person, participate in the luncheon held by the local immigration officials, and communicate with each other, he could get his passport faster. It has only been a month and a half since he started looking for an intermediary, and the normal speed will be at least another half a month.


    An Feng asked: "Is it a buffet with a fundraising nature?"


    The intermediary has a lot of meaning: "Yes, if you make a proper donation, you will definitely get special treatment as a philanthropist."


    Crazy thinking about money, but he likes: "Okay, how is the security situation in the local area?"


    The countries near the Caribbean Sea always feel like a magical country where pirates are rampant, and the flag bearers wear iron hooks... But the agent said: "It''s a very peaceful country with few residents and good security. As long as you don''t go to the wilderness alone, you can There will be no surprises."


    After An Feng hung up, he dialed Gu Li''s number: "Hi, buddy, are you free recently? I might need some bodyguards."


    "I''m just waiting for a word from you, how much do you need?" Gu Li said straightforwardly.


    An Feng said: "I''m going to an unknown island country for business, and I don''t know how the local environment is. Bringing more bodyguards shows that I have ostentation."


    ��


    one day later.


    This time, Gu Li personally led the team, and there were four other extremely fierce bodyguards following him.


    Unified black suit, wearing sunglasses, arms folded in front of the fierce man stood behind An Feng, this momentum made many people in the airport detour.


    After getting on the plane and flying to the east, one is to get a visa, which is very simple. Tell the visa officer that you want to invest and he will approve it for you immediately; the other is to replenish fuel. If you fly across the United States and then fly to St. Kitts Island, you may have to wait before you arrive. Fell into the sea... After staying for half a day, we set off with a visa.


    An Feng supplemented his knowledge on the plane. After all, he was about to become a citizen of the country. If he didn��t understand anything, it would be a shame.


    St. Kitts and Nevis is more than 2,000 kilometers away from Florida. It is a typical Central American country with a tropical climate and no winter, so there are many dark skins in the area. The country is small and consists of two islands. St. Kitts is more than 20 kilometers long and eight kilometers wide. In the western United States, 50 million can buy the same area of ??land.


    The speed of Citation X is well-deserved, and it arrived at the destination in less than three hours. The two drivers slowed down patiently, found the airport runway, and landed carefully. The runway is quite long, but the airport is a bit shabby��if no one tells An Feng that this is the airport.


    I thought that the airports in the United States were old enough...but there are still terminal buildings, but there are not many passengers. I just stamped a stamp at the immigration checkpoint and walked out with a group of white people who came to travel. The sweltering air waves unique to tropical countries hit us head-on, and it was uncomfortable to stand under the sun for a minute.


    At the gate of the airport, take a MPV sent by the hotel to visit the scenery of the capital Basseterre. There are almost no tall buildings with more than five floors, and the roads are full of low, wooden houses, but the scenery is very good, sunny and green, a typical resort, the kind that is isolated from the hustle and bustle.


    When passing through the capital, you can see the large cruise ships anchored on the distant sea. Most of the local income is supported by tourism. The GDP is only about 800 million a year. To put it bluntly, it is not enough for Anfeng to earn as much in half a year. He is now truly wealthy, or alone seeking defeat.


    After leaving Basseterre, the road turned into vast farmland and sparse houses, and we drove for a few minutes to another place called Taiji Village. I don''t live in the capital because the hotel conditions are poor, but Taiji Village has a very good resort hotel, and Anfeng has generously booked an area.


    Such a big name made many people curious, but unfortunately those few bodyguards completely extinguished people''s curiosity, they could only wander around, talking about who the rich man was. The local population is small, just over 50,000 people, and there is not necessarily anything new in a year, so I like gossip.


    An Feng ignored this. The swimming pool in the resort hotel was great. It was originally a public swimming pool, but after being booked by him, it became a private one. Soaking in the water to cool off the heat, lying on the edge of the pool, I want to see the beach What a beautiful MM, it''s not bad to relax after eye addiction.


    The results are all black, and the white ones are also bucket-waisted horses.


    In the evening, I ate some seafood, changed into another set of clothes, and then participated in the investor buffet meeting held next door. A small world is not good, everyone lives close to each other, you don��t need a car when you go out, the ostentation is gone, but the bodyguards are still there, the majestic two in the front and the two in the back **** him.


    After the bodyguard showed the electronic invitation card at the door, the janitor Xiao Hei timidly invited them in. An Feng took out a few US dollar bills and handed them to him. Xiao Hei looked down and saw that the face value was not small. . The bodyguards scattered around, serving as hotel security guards.


    An Feng didn''t come early. There were already several people who were not local residents. Everyone was dressed in shirts and trousers. An Feng exchanged a few words with them casually. One was American, two were Canadians, and some came from Europe. Everyone''s purpose was simple: to get a passport quickly and avoid tax to some extent.


    Minutes later, their host was invited, the country''s "Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Secretary of Homeland Security and Immigration and Labor and Social Security."


    The national conditions are special, you have to learn to memorize these long strings of names.


    Mr. Deputy Prime Minister is now appearing as an immigration official. Your Excellency Wu Tuo is a black man who is a bit blessed. He smiles at this group of donors, and his white teeth are very iconic. He didn''t use his identity to show off. He knew that there were rich people present, and some of them might be richer than the country.


    St. Kitts and Nevis belongs to the Commonwealth of Nations, headed by the Queen of England, and English is naturally the official language. Uto also spoke in English: "Welcome everyone, we are here for immigration. I am deeply honored for your immigration intention, which will bring to our country..."


    Most of the leader''s speeches were nonsense. An Feng listened with a glass of wine. After the nonsense, Wu Tuo became straightforward: "The development of our country is still not optimistic. A single tourism industry is difficult to support the operation of the country. Fang philanthropists can give a little financial support."


    It��s no surprise to everyone, politicians are like this, either seeking support or raising funds, and maybe filling their own pockets... Wu Tuo talked about some key places, such as road construction in remote areas, expansion of docks, and airports expansion etc.


    Anyway, everyone��s thoughts were not on the reception. In response to what Wu Tuo talked about, everyone picked up the check book and started to donate. An Feng couldn��t see how much money everyone filled in. The figure of 500,000 was drawn and handed over to the stage.


    The black lady who collected the donation looked a little surprised: "Thank you for your kindness, sir! May I ask your name, sir?"


    Because the payer on the check was "GP International", An Feng said his Chinese pinyin and added Bruce''s English name at the end.


    His Excellency Wu Tuo came over. After seeing the check, he smiled and asked, "Thank you for your generosity, Mr. An. What do you want to use the money for?"


    Can you specify by yourself? An Feng smiled: "I hope it''s better to be an airport, and add some reminder signs, because it''s difficult for my plane to park today."


    "Mr. An''s private jet?" Wu Tuo asked.


    "Of course, I don''t like a crowded environment, even if it''s a first-class cabin." An Feng said indifferently, it just means that I have a lot of money.


    Wu Tuo��s smile remained undiminished: ��Can Mr. An go to the side to talk?��


    This guy looks like a gentleman. An Feng and him came to the side, and the waiter also served them two glasses of local wine with unknown names.


    An Feng took a sip and expressed his love: "Very good wine."


    "Thank you, this is a local specialty." Wu Tuo said, "Mr. An, are you Asian?"


    "From China, but now living in the United States." An Feng said.


    "America?" Wu Tuo nodded, "Your English is very good, as if you grew up in an English-speaking country."


    An Feng smiled: "My wife is British."


    Wu Tuo came to a sudden: "She must be a beautiful lady with extraordinary background."


    An Feng is not modest: "Yes, her father is a hereditary nobleman."


    Wu Tuo''s tone was very advocating for Britain, and after inquiring around in the chat, he assured An Feng: "For such a generous philanthropist and a gentleman who benefits the people, we have no reason not to welcome you, and show the highest enthusiasm, I will complete the formalities for you as quickly as possible."


    "Thank you for your help." An Feng nodded with a smile, "If there is any trouble, I will definitely do my best."


    If it is really easy to do things with money, An Feng and several other donors stood under the national flag and took an oath the next day. Some local people were present to watch the ceremony, and they heard from officials that Mr. So-and-so had generously donated hundreds of thousands of dollars, which would be used for the construction of the school, and hundreds of thousands of dollars, which would be used for road repairs by Mr. So-and-so.


    An Feng was also dressed in a suit, with a tall and straight figure standing under the sun. He raised his hand and followed a black official and said some irrelevant lines, then played the national anthem, raised the national flag, and the naturalization oath ceremony ended... It is said that the citizens who can take the oath on the spot They are all on a special list.


    Equivalent to VIPs and the like. In the future, there will be any fundraising activities, and you will get tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands... The local immigration bureau likes this kind of rich people the most. They are not short of money. As long as you provide good service, hundreds of thousands are just tips. An Feng, who is the most generous today, doesn''t even bat an eye for half a million.

 Chapter 153： Diplomatic immunity [Third update]

    Chapter 153 Diplomatic immunity


    (452 ??votes... Please recommend tickets! Remember to recommend!)


    ��


    After this, the passport was successfully obtained.


    An Feng originally wanted to leave, but received a personal invitation from Wu Tuo, so he decided to stay for another day.


    Because of the nature of private invitation, the location is located in Wu Tuo''s home, a very nice sea view villa, enjoying a luxurious swimming pool and invincible sea view, and some tropical plants, such as coconut trees, are planted beside it. An Feng attended on time in formal attire and had dinner with their family.


    Originally, seeing Wu Tuo''s dark face, he thought he was very old, but he had just turned fifty, and he had a son and a daughter. The son was twenty years old, and the daughter was fifteen. Madam reminded them that they were reluctant to do other things.


    After dinner, they sat in the living room and chatted about some knowledge.


    Uto said: "I have been to London. It is a very beautiful and vibrant city. I really hope that after retirement, I can go there for a long vacation."


    An Feng also talked about the changes in these years from his experience in London. The topics are very light, and they are all things in life, but they also deepen with familiarity.


    Talking about the issue of the country, Wu Tuo said: "Mr. An, you come from China, you must know that St. Kitts and Nevis has not established diplomatic relations with China, right?"


    An Feng nodded: "Yes, I think it is necessary to establish diplomatic relations with the five great leaders."


    Wu Tuo nodded: "We do have this intention, because China is a huge country, and its influence in the world is gradually increasing..."


    After listening to An Feng, he still didn''t understand what he said about the establishment of diplomatic relations with him.


    But what Wu Tuo said later made him understand a little bit: "However, the cost of setting up an embassy is very high, including housing, furniture, ambassador''s vehicles, and staff salaries... For a government that is mainly maintained by tourism, this aspect is very important. Spending has to be calculated carefully.��


    An Feng knew that he was showing off his wealth, and he wanted to attract sponsorship, so he said: "I support you in establishing diplomatic relations with China and provide reasonable assistance. I grew up in China and am very familiar with the local area. On issues of national conditions or human conditions, I can give a lot of good advice."


    Uto said with a smile: "Sir, you are really a respectable philanthropist."


    An Feng tentatively said: "Your Excellency, you also know that I am from China, so I have some special feelings for it. Occasionally, I need to go back to visit relatives and the like..."


    After An Feng got a new passport, it meant that his Chinese nationality would be cancelled. Next time he wanted to go home, he would not be as casual as before. He had to obediently go to the consulate for an interview and apply for a visa, and the two countries have not yet established diplomatic relations. There are still some restrictions on the period of stay in the country.


    Uto smiled: "Sir, I can understand your feelings for your homeland, and we will also give you appropriate help for your generosity."


    "For example?" An Feng smiled all over his face.


    Wu Tuo''s voice was low: "The privileges of some diplomats allow you to travel between the two countries without hindrance, without going through complicated procedures."


    An Feng''s in-depth guess: "That is... diplomatic immunity?"


    Wu Tuo nodded, but changed the subject: "However, this is only the preliminary proposal of the parliament, and there may be many accidents that will affect the final result."


    An Feng understands, it''s about money.


    It is easy to give money, but it must be just right. The other party is a public official or a national leader, so you can''t just write a check and give it to him. This is a crime of bribery. Moreover, if you want to show how much benefit you give, you can take as much benefit as you can��because people''s appetites cannot be satisfied.


    ��


    An Feng returned to the United States the next day.


    There are also two black youths accompanying them, one is the son of Uto, and the other is the nephew of Prime Minister Sanchi. Both guys want to travel to the United States, and if possible, they will study there. Although the fall semester has passed, they will still be able to attend the spring semester.


    An Feng knows what to do, donate some money to the school appropriately, just throw these two guys in. This is the bargaining chip in the negotiation. I let the children of two high-ranking officials come to the United States to study and give them money to enjoy, and you must give me benefits, otherwise the two children will be hit by a car one day...


    I feel that at this point, it is impossible not to play black.


    It is not difficult to do these things. An Feng is now a core person who supports politicians and joins interest groups. Some people do this kind of thing for him.


    The plane returned to Los Angeles, arranged for the two guys to stay in a local star-rated hotel, and transferred an assistant under John to temporarily take charge of the two earth riskers who were shocked by the metropolis. The two of them still haven''t recovered from the resplendent presidential suite.


    An Feng instructed: "Find a decent school, invest appropriately, arrange for them to enroll in the spring, and help them apply for a bank account."


    Assistant''s assistant named Jim, he said, "It''s okay on the American side, but what about their country?"


    An Feng smiled: "It''s no problem, these are the children of high-ranking officials. As long as the United States grants a student visa here, it will be a one-sentence matter over there."


    Jim nodded: "No problem, Mr. Ann."


    An Feng went to say hello to the two guys who were jumping on the big bed: "Hey, you two! Enjoy your vacation here! Remember this gentleman, Jim, he will be in charge and plan your activities and expenses, what is there If you don��t understand, you can tell him, and he will deal with it.��


    The two guys nodded, and immediately made some requests, all of which were drinks, feasts and other enjoyments.


    Jim sent An Feng away. On the way, An Feng told: "Don''t spoil them all, make them comfortable, and let them know whose territory this is."


    Jim understands: "I''ll find a few girls to make them lose their temper tonight, go to nightclubs and bars for a few days, and then let them feel the local darkness properly..."


    An Feng smiled: "You are very smart, just do it, but don''t let them have an accident��occasionally some minor injuries don''t matter, you have to grasp this aspect."


    Jim said: "I know how to measure. They will enjoy life, but they will also feel that they cannot do without Mr. An''s help to ensure that they will be obedient in the future."


    An Feng smiled slightly: "That''s it."


    The big boss, escorted by bodyguards, left in style. Jim jotted down some things to give the two hillbillies a taste of luxury, corruption, and night-time crime. According to An Feng, it is to make them comfortable, but also to make them feel inseparable from the protection of the boss.


    It is necessary for both parties to have bargaining chips to handle affairs. They give An Feng privileges, and An Feng controls the future living expenses of these two guys.


    The reason why An Feng is so passionate about this matter is nothing more than "diplomatic immunity".


    Diplomatic immunity, which belongs to the head of state or the staff of the embassy abroad, enjoys privileges including immunity from jurisdiction, immunity from litigation, and immunity from execution.


    As far as one of them is concerned, the right to inviolability of the person, namely: diplomatic representatives are not subject to any form of arrest or detention. Even if a diplomatic representative violates local laws, neither the police nor the military have the right to arrest or detain him. On the contrary, someone must be sent to ensure his safety.


    St. Kitts and Nevis is planning to establish diplomatic relations with China. If An Feng takes the opportunity to gain the status of a diplomatic representative and enjoys diplomatic immunity, and accidentally commits a crime in China in the future, sorry, the police will not be able to control him, because he is a diplomatic representative , enjoy the power of absolute immunity.


    He can even ask the Chinese government to send armed police to protect his safety. In terms of travel, the cars of foreign embassies are the best. Running a red light in the wrong direction is something that can be dealt with. Anyway, the police can��t control it. You can control it if you want.


    When traveling to and from home and abroad, the belongings of diplomats enjoy a great privacy right, airport security check? No! Diplomatic representatives cannot be inspected - except in extremely urgent cases, which rarely happens. So it''s no problem for An Feng to fly back and forth with a gun hidden in his luggage.


    Even if he is found out, he cannot be caught because he has criminal immunity! Confiscated��should be an item in temporary custody that must be returned when the representative leaves. Criminal immunity means that in some major cases, he has the privilege of not being prosecuted by the laws of the country where he is located-unless the immunity is revoked.


    And the visa or something does not exist. As for diplomats, when the plane arrives, it must make an empty space to park. It is absolutely necessary to be a VIP all the way to the end. You can also ask the government to send a car to pick you up, and the police car will clear the way in front of you. The reason is "official visit". And understated, it''s "private visits."


    There are still many privileges, maybe there is no interest in people from other countries, diplomatic representatives in China? It''s meaningless, and I don''t want to come to China to play. But An Feng is different. This is his home country, where his parents, relatives and friends are all there, so he has to go back and forth several times a year? With diplomatic privileges, it is definitely much more convenient.


    And he is not the kind of diplomatic ambassador stationed in a foreign country, but as a kind of hidden diplomatic representative - the representative does not have to be in China, he can shuttle back and forth between the two countries, as for when to come, how long to stay, when Going back, there are no regulations.


    What An Feng wants is this kind of ease and freedom, plus a little bit of privilege. Although it may not be useful, it is equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death.

 Chapter 154： ocean shipping

    Chapter 154 Ocean Shipping


    It''s November.


    After An Feng''s new identity is confirmed, he will go to the Immigration Bureau to update his green card information. As for the banker in Switzerland, Friedman sent a clerk stationed in the United States to complete the information for him to help protect the privacy of the client. The shore company was investigated, and he was not implicated.


    An Feng also bought a stack of checkbooks to spend in the name of GP International. His U.S. account has also been upgraded again, and the corresponding services will be picked up by the telephone secretary, that is, those fundraising, receptions and dinners recommended by the bank, first through Angela, and then by her team according to An Feng''s interests And habits, filter out the items of interest. Otherwise, what does it look like for a rich man to receive referral calls every day?


    In addition to these, An Feng often goes to UCB to watch games.


    Nothing else, that is, Joanna participated in a women''s saber competition recently, and she has played these days. As a husband, it is natural to be a cheerleader for her. In order to train her, he hired a team. There were not many people, but they were all professional athletes and could give Joanna a lot of tips.


    There is another game this afternoon. According to An Feng''s observation, it is clear that the sports cells of the students in American colleges and universities are very developed. Usually, they are not in the classroom, but in the school library or on the sports field. In addition to basketball and American football, some unpopular ones such as fencing and shooting also have competitions.


    Joanna is dressed in a snow-white sword suit, her iconic blond hair is exposed behind the mask, and she looks heroic. Her opponent was a black-haired girl, who was slightly shorter than her, but she was very flexible. She had resolved Joanna''s attacks several times. Although the black-haired girl retreated repeatedly, she was always able to rely on her luck to hit the effective part first.


    There are also quite a few spectators around, including men and women, some are interested in fencing, and others are purely watching female swordsmen. In the 14-meter kendo stage, there was a tense duel. At the fierce point, people could not see the trajectory of the sword swing clearly, and only heard the French uttered frequently from the referee''s mouth.


    After the game, the referee announced that Joanna''s opponent had a small lead and won the victory. Joanna, who took off her mask, was disappointed, but An Feng gave her a thumbs up. When she came, he congratulated: "Today''s performance is really wonderful , if the opponent hadn''t been lucky a few times, she would have lost."


    Joanna curled her lips: "It''s really consoling, but her skills are indeed better than mine. After I got married, you pampered me and stopped practicing. I''m a lot rusty."


    An Feng handed her a towel to wipe her sweat, and said in his mouth: "The battle for the top two is over, but isn''t there still a battle for the third place? Even if it doesn''t work, you lost the game, but you won the love! Winning or losing the game is temporary , love lasts forever, so just let them envy you!"


    Joanna smiled: "So sweet."


    Back home, a specially hired chef had already prepared dinner for them. This was also lazy. An Feng himself didn''t want to go into the kitchen, and he didn''t want Joanna to waste time in the kitchen and sacrifice training time, so there was A dedicated chef is the best way to go.


    The chef is a middle-aged French immigrant who is good at cooking French dishes. He is only responsible for their dinners, but usually spends two to three hours carefully preparing them, and the salary is 6,000 US dollars per month. That''s how craftsmanship and big names show, the dinners are great and the French are very artistic.


    After the meal, he left satisfied after giving the French chef enough praise. An Feng felt very happy. The chef who was hired at a high price had to comment on his cooking skills and give his opinion every day after he had finished enjoying himself with his employer.


    Joanna said: "You don''t understand those who pursue the ultimate cooking skills. They are some kind of artists. Artists are crazy, you know?"


    An Feng agreed: "Indeed."


    Joanna said again: "Let''s practice a dance later? Today''s fencing is a lesson. I must maintain my habit and not let you spoil me."


    An Feng said: "Is it wrong for your husband to love you?"


    Joanna shook her head: "That''s right, but you don''t think it''s a bit too... Don''t you think we should all have some characteristics that attract each other? Don''t you like me beautiful, tall and sexy, or I like your body that is unstoppable bodybuilder?"


    An Feng smiled: "I can''t refuse you, you always have a lot of opinions."


    Rest for half an hour after the meal, and dance the waltz together in the fitness room. An Feng learned very fast, and Joanna kept increasing the difficulty. In the end, he came to the conclusion that if he went to participate in the ballroom dance competition, it would not be difficult to get a ranking... To be honest, An Feng also felt that he was too good.


    In the evening, while Joanna was having a beauty treatment, An Feng took time to watch something.


    The design of the Turku shipyard has been initially completed, and the rest will come to San Francisco to listen to An Feng''s opinions, and let the design team at the headquarters revise the details...The shipyard will follow. An Feng must have a shipyard, even if it is left unused. Because if you purchase a cruise ship as an individual, the expenditure cannot be deducted from the tax amount. If it is calculated as the expenditure of commercial activities, it can be deducted here.


    Regarding the design style of the cruise ship, the designers in Turku are constantly seeking the views of An Feng and Joanna. Naturally, a cruise ship cannot be parked in its own yard and used as a private yacht, because it is too large, and the maintenance costs are terrible. Commercial operation is a must, and it is also a way to make ends meet.


    It��s impossible to park a cruise ship comparable to a small city, only a few people go on it, and then spend hundreds of millions of dollars in maintenance costs every year, right? So from the day it was built, commercial operations must be considered. But An Feng doesn''t care about the bottom ten floors, the top floor he needs is specially customized.


    That is to say, luxury is like a palace, and everything is based on ultimate enjoyment. In this regard, An Feng has gained a lot of knowledge and learned about luxury brands in the world. Because he wants a magnificent and high-end style, the carpet is considered to be purely handmade in Persia, just like the Arabian Palace described in the Arabian Nights.


    There are also options such as lighting. Swarovski��s crystal chandeliers are obviously atmospheric enough, and there are more details such as the selection of glass cups. wine��


    After a few days of dead brain cells, the Turku design team is now concentrating on the construction of the palace of the top ship owner. Gold, ivory and sea blue.


    An Feng looked at the renderings. It is luxurious but not lacking in elegance. This should look like a tasteful palace. Just make a bunch of golden ones, which are made by upstarts. You have to have other embellished colors to decorate It, ivory white is essential, and some blue, perfect!


    When the designer was trying to modify the No. 1 suite, An Feng flew to Florida with Joanna during the weekend, accompanied by a female assistant from Texas, Eve Ludlow, who originally wanted to be called John...but forget it, He''s too busy right now, and it''s his wife''s birthday recently.


    An Feng understood him very well, so he replaced Ludlow.


    The reason why I came to Florida was that apart from a day or two of vacation, I also considered registering a shipping company, and then signed a contract with the Turku Shipyard in the name of the company to avoid the taxes that Anfeng needs to pay. By the way, take a look at Miami''s deep-water docks, which can berth hundreds of thousands of tons of giant ships.


    The name of the company has already been decided, called "Ocean Shipping Company". Although there is already a giant in the shipping industry in the local area: Royal Caribbean Company, but An Feng now likes to hit the market - because he has confidence, he is now considered a big role, not to mention his own Partners are stronger, aren''t they?


    The business of registering the company made Eve and the assistant she brought busy. An Feng and Joanna continued to hang out. People start their life path with one decision.


    It��s November, but there is no winter in Miami, and the climate is warm. It��s no problem to lie on the beach and bask in the sun. The two of them dressed casually like last time, wearing sunglasses and flip-flops, walking along the coastal path with laughter, and Joanna asked him to carry it.


    "Continue carrying me," she said, "Same as before."


    An Feng turned his back on her and asked, "Do you want to propose like last time?"


    "If you want to..." Joanna smiled slyly, "I allow��but I don''t."


    An Feng laughed dumbfounded, and squeezed her **** mischievously with the hand holding her thigh: "If you dare to refuse me, this is punishment."


    Joanna laughed: "Haha! Ah! Don''t!"


    Strolling along the beach, looking at the rows of beautiful sea-view villas in front, An Feng said: "It is said that these villas are worth millions, and they all have private beaches. It must be a happy thing for family and friends to enjoy the beach to themselves.��


    Joanna asked: "Do you want to buy real estate here?"


    An Feng didn''t care about spending money, he asked, "I''m free, but do you like it?"


    Joanna said: "It''s okay to take a vacation for a few days occasionally, but it feels a bit extravagant."


    An Feng smiled: "Hey! Look at your worries just now, quickly get rid of your thoughts of a housewife from your mind, from the moment you agreed to my marriage proposal, it is doomed that money will only make you unable to remember how many zeros in the future , you just want to burn it down, and the gasoline is there for you."


    Joanna buried her head to kiss his cheek, and said, "You always melt my heart."


    An Feng said proudly: "You know that I am the best husband in the world."


    "You are the best." Joanna smiled, "It is okay to buy it, but you haven''t considered the castle, manor or palace you mentioned earlier?"


    An Feng sighed: "What a headache! All the good places have been taken up. If there is no cultural relic protection policy, I''ll just buy you a European palace."


    "No!" Joanna shook her head, "I want you to build it for me, no matter how long it takes, I''m willing to wait ten or a hundred years."


    An Feng nodded: "Okay, think about it slowly, and you will always figure it out."


    The one-and-a-half-day vacation in Miami is very free and happy. The resort is always comfortable. At the same time, the registration of the company is also very smooth. The name of Ocean Shipping has not been repeated. An Feng only needs to prepare 600 million US dollars. 30% of the cost of Erku Shipyard will do.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 155： suffer a little

    Chapter 155 Suffering


    For An Feng, another major event recently is cancer.


    Of course it is also of global concern.


    The reputation of the research center has been greatly shaken. From a research institution that was originally inconspicuous, it has become the focus of attention overnight because it can completely cure cancer. In the past few days, whether it is newspapers or TV news, you can always see it being mentioned. Research centers and the luckiest female patients.


    As the first lucky person who was on the verge of death but was successfully rescued, people will indeed remember her. After various examinations, the female patient was confirmed to have completely disappeared cancer cells, and she gradually recovered her health. After a few months of recuperation, she was able to live like a normal person...


    What makes the research center even more on the cusp is that they did not stop to enjoy the victory, but non-stop, high-profile announcement: Here are a few more extreme examples.


    Experts want to challenge the extreme and impossible, and reverse the fate of patients. It is very difficult, because in addition to cancer cells, the failure of other organs also affects life expectancy. It does not mean that after the cancer cells are eliminated, the patient will definitely be able to survive, so the difficulty is not trivial.


    It is impossible for the research center to take care of everything, and it needs to be chosen carefully. It must be difficult, but it is also impossible to choose a patient who has almost entered the grave and will not live long even if the cancer cells are eliminated. This time it was decided to cure two patients at the same time.


    The media was in an uproar, isn''t this too fast? Aren''t you afraid of self-defeating and smashing your own signboard? And some experts in the medical field from all over the world also got the opportunity to show their faces and use their theories to "analyze", implicitly saying that this may be an accidental cure, because of the characteristics of infinite division and proliferation of cancer cells, it is almost impossible to use the same method Go kill it...they don''t think the research center''s luck will last.


    An Feng laughed when he saw the news, sensationalists will eventually shoot themselves in the foot, the routine of the research center surpasses modern medicine for decades, can it be solved? Unless the patient has cancer and other terminal illnesses, failure is unlikely to occur.


    But to be on the safe side, An Feng still specially guided the details.


    Those who ridicule doubters can be happy for at most two weeks, and then they will either be submerged in the saliva of the masses, or disappear from the public view forever.


    In fact, it has little to do with him. Only a broad-minded person can get more joy. If a dog bites you, you still bite back? Being so preoccupied, living too tiring, An Feng''s mentality has always been very positive, and he is a person of status, so he would lose face if he cared about these things.


    ��


    Not going back at night, after dinner, I decided to go see how the relatives of the two senior officials were doing.


    In recent days, Jim, the assistant''s assistant, took them all over Los Angeles. For two guys who live within a ten-minute drive across the border, Los Angeles is an indescribably beautiful metropolis with an area larger than their country and a population More than their country... Women''s **** are white and dazzling, and there are thousands of delicacies from all over the world...


    The bodyguard of Aegis Security drove An Feng to a local nightclub, and was escorted in front and back. The bodyguard had a warning on his face that strangers should not enter. The aura was too strong, and everyone automatically moved away... After receiving the news Jim greeted him and invited An Feng to sit down in a corner of the hall.


    This nightclub is not considered a high-end venue, but it is also very famous. It''s just that Anfeng''s level is too high. He usually attends dance parties in star-rated hotels or formal banquets in private mansions, so it feels average. Of course, the lively and high-class places here are not of the same type.


    The waiter came over with wine and poured An Feng a glass.


    Jim looked at the crowd on the dance floor: "The two of them are there, learning the American way of life, inviting the ladies to dance first, and then developing the follow-up."


    An Feng curled his lips, watching Xiao Hei picking up girls is very boring, and when the lights are dimmed, no one can be found... Looking back: "Are they still cooperating?"


    Jim nodded: "Of course cooperate. They all know that you are a character with great energy. Obedience is beneficial. If you go against it, you won''t know when you will die."


    An Feng smiled: "Very good! What about studying abroad for them?"


    Jim said: "I found it. The local universities in Los Angeles are ranked well in the United States. They only need more than one million sponsorships to send them in."


    Million Laiwan is only a trivial matter to An Feng, and he is concerned about another point: "Have you found out what they were told?"


    Jim leaned closer to him and said, "I was fascinated by a prostitute we invited the day before yesterday, and made a trick out of it, saying that their family hopes to get half a million."


    "It''s not bad." An Feng said, but for a small island country, half a million dollars is not a lot.


    After saying this, the two guys each pulled a black girl who was not so dark and came over. In a white country, the probability of a black man picking up a white girl is very low. Unless you are rich, famous, or talented, almost no white girl will talk to a black man.


    These two not-so-black girls are representatives of African Americans. They are a little different from African blacks. African blacks are pure black, black is shiny, and black charcoal is the same, while American blacks are more or less mixed, and their skin is lighter. , with a higher level of education.


    "Hi! Boss!" The two pulled the girl to sit down and greeted each other.


    "Hey, two guys, how are you doing?" An Feng said.


    "It''s very good, your hospitality is really warm." Uto''s son Fern said with a smile, he put his arms around a plump black girl with thick lips.


    Another black man, Homan, said: "Our two-person team decided to hang out with you. I like endless nightlife and endless wine."


    After speaking, he kissed the girl next to him again, and touched the thigh and breast of the girl who wanted to welcome but refused: "There is also that slim and beautiful beauty."


    An Feng suppressed the nausea in his heart, and smiled lightly: "I''m glad you are satisfied with my hospitality."


    They wanted to say something, but Jim, who was watching the situation, felt that An Feng didn''t like it, so he said: "It''s getting late, let''s go to another place and continue having fun?"


    "Choking to death! We like to change places!" The two guys scratched and touched the black girl again, An Feng stood up with a smile and walked in front.


    Jim followed: "Mr. An, with the current situation, you won''t frown on anything you ask them to do."


    An Feng nodded: "But don''t let them play too crazy. My money is given to the people behind the scenes through them, not to them for nothing."


    Jim said: "Don''t worry about this, I will take care of it."


    The bodyguard at the door had already driven the SUV over. When An Feng was about to walk in front of the car door, Jim stepped forward and opened the door, asking him to sit in and close the door.


    An Feng added: "You sit in the front."


    Jim looked happy: "Okay, sir."


    Now that An Feng''s status is very high, naturally not everyone can get close to him, not to mention that he often disappears and appears occasionally. Except for the privately hired John who can be contacted frequently, other people must do everything well if they want to be favored. A detail work.


    Being able to sit in the front row is undoubtedly a good opportunity to enhance your relationship and let the boss remember you.


    Jim got into the co-pilot, while the two black men and the woman were picked up by another car, and finally a bodyguard car. Aegis Security has a branch in Los Angeles, and it usually has a lot of business, but it is a little extra for the big boss to travel. It''s no problem to have some ostentation.


    Three cars were driving at a constant speed. The night view of Los Angeles was very different from the daytime scene. The mess appeared in a blink of an eye, which made people feel very out of tune with this bustling city.


    Jim reported some work matters: "Mr. Adams is managing your robot company recently, and I feel that he is very responsible and rarely complains."


    An Feng smiled. Jim is very good at being a man. He not only praised his boss, but also flattered the big boss. If he speaks ill of John now, it is guaranteed that the goodwill left to An Feng before will disappear completely. John has been working under him for a long time, and his sense of responsibility has already been proved.


    The convoy stopped at a red light intersection. It was late, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street, only cars passing by in a hurry.


    Suddenly there was a sharp sound of brakes, and two black Dodges rushed past An Feng, outflanking and pinching the front Mercedes-Benz, the doors of the cars were all pushed open, and six or seven people dressed strangely and wearing chains jumped out. A black man with a baseball bat in his hand and his hat on backwards.


    They went to pull the front door of the Mercedes-Benz fiercely, smashed the baseball bat on the hood, and cursed, the first reaction of An Feng''s driver was to turn around and leave��but An Feng stopped him: "Don''t worry! Come at me, let��s see what��s going on first.��


    The driver lowered his head and said a few words to the miniature microphone hidden in the collar, and then a bodyguard car slowly approached. According to the security principle, after an accident, no matter whether it is for VIPs or not, he must leave the scene quickly��but now An Feng strongly Asked to stay and watch the show, they could only draw their guns and prepare.


    Every bodyguard of Aegis Security has a concealed gun certificate, and even the driver subconsciously touched his armpit, and his reaction was very alert.


    The door of the Mercedes-Benz in front was opened, and the two blacks and the black girl were dragged out. The two women and another group of blacks scolded each other fiercely. While the two "compatriots" were pushed to the ground by the black gang, An Feng asked with a smile, "Did those two guys **** someone else''s horse?"


    Jim nodded: "It should be, sorry Mr. Ann, I didn''t know they would-"


    "It''s okay." An Feng pressed his shoulder, "Let them suffer a little bit, knowing that there are many rules in this world that cannot be surpassed."


    Fern and Homan were pushed to the ground, punched, kicked, and beaten up. The driver was just an ordinary person. Because of his innocent identity, he was not beaten and ran away far away. On the contrary, there were two black people in the two cars who were displeased with watching the show, and with the baseball bats in their hands on their shoulders, they walked towards them arrogantly.


    They''re waving baseball bats in front of the SUV, yelling, "Fucking white pig! Get the **** out of here!"


    Obviously, he thinks there are seven or eight people on his side, all of whom are gangsters. No one in the area doesn''t know them, so they are awesome and everyone is afraid of them.


    Seeing this, the driver bowed his head and said, "Take them down!"


    After that, a Chevrolet SUV got off four thick men in black suits. They put their hands in their arms, and what they took out was not a gun��there is no need to use a gun for small things. The uniform ASP swings the stick, and with a violent swing, it immediately becomes six to seventy centimeters long. The bodyguards with gloomy faces surrounded him without saying a word.


    The two black buddies with baseball bats were dumbfounded. They froze for a second, threw away the sticks, turned and ran.


    Unfortunately, it was too late, the front bodyguard hit him hard with a stick on the back, and the guy flew out��yes, the strength of the big bodyguard was too strong.


    This fool did not run away like a cargo, and he lay down on the spot when he flew out. The ridiculous thing is that when he came to make trouble, he was still wearing denim low-rise pants, showing a lot of red underwear, and he had a lot of jewelry, necklaces and dog tags on his body, and he walked like a street juggler.


    The other guy was kicked on the **** by the bodyguard and fell to the ground on his back. The baseball bat flew five or six meters away. Then he was surrounded by two bodyguards and kicked them with leather shoes. The bodyguards'' shoes were specially made to facilitate running. , the front end is relatively hard, and kicking people is basically the effect of screaming.


    The black man immediately shrank into a lobster shape within a second.


    The companions of the black gang looked up and saw that one of them had been beaten, and was full of anger. He immediately picked up the guy and fought with the bodyguard who was waving a stick.

 Chapter 156： An Fengs Energy

    Chapter 156 An Feng''s Energy


    Don��t look at the ASP swing stick as just a humble telescopic stick. It is a well-known special tactical equipment for law enforcement forces. It is made of high-strength steel and alloy. It is made in the United States with good quality and amazing strength. It can easily lift a car The weight of a police car!


    Using this thing to hit people is much harder than a baseball bat.


    A few bodyguards surrounded them, and they fought with those blacks without saying a word. They played vigorously with sticks, but those who had undergone professional training were different. Opponents feel better. Although the battle was chaotic, all the blacks fell to the ground "orderly".


    In front of professional thugs, these gangsters are not enough to look at at all. When they got into a panic, a black man touched his crotch and wanted to take out a gun, but was hit by a stick on his wrist. When the gun fell to the ground, his scream of "ah" resounded through the sky, He jumped up, covered his wrists, and the expression on his face was distorted.


    This blow probably shattered even the bones.


    An Feng looked at it for a while, and when he saw that it was almost done, he got out of the car and walked towards Fern and Homan. The bodyguard beside him had already unbuttoned his suit, and the holster and black handle of the gun under his armpit were looming, ready to draw his gun at any time. But in non-emergency situations, bodyguards still have to abide by the strict prohibition of exposing firearms.


    The bodyguard showing his gun is nothing more than a warning: don''t mess around.


    Fern and Homan were also clever. After being knocked to the ground, the first thing they did was to curl up and hug their heads, trying not to expose their soft parts, so the fat beating was only a skin trauma, but the two A black girl was scared and screamed by the viciousness of An Feng''s bodyguard.


    "Shut up!" a bodyguard shouted at them.


    The sound stopped, followed by the sound of sirens, and within ten seconds, two police cars with flashing red and blue lights rushed up. The policemen jumped out of the car, pulled out their weapons in unison, and shouted: "LAPD!" Then I was startled by the scene in front of me: eight black men knelt on the ground in a uniform posture, crying with their hands raised above their heads, as if they were criminals who were about to be shot. Behind them were a few majestic white men in black suits, the sticks in their hands were still bleeding.


    "Drop your weapons!" the police yelled through the car horns, "You are surrounded!"


    The captain of the bodyguard immediately ordered: "Put down your weapon and raise your hand! Mr. An, you too!"


    An Feng had experienced the power of the American police in San Francisco, so he would not die in front of the police who were on the verge of an enemy, so he raised his hand obediently.


    But his bodyguard captain emphasized loudly: "We are people from Aegis Security! We have a record in the Los Angeles Police Department! This is our security employer, and there is no illegal act!"


    After hearing this, the seriousness on the faces of the two policemen disappeared a bit. They were all acquaintances. Aegis Security is often responsible for some large-scale local exhibitions, luxury exhibitions or security activities for celebrities and politicians. It is not once or twice to deal with the police, let alone What happened this time is very clear, it is clear that black people have provoked powerful characters.


    But the duties of the police must be performed: "We have to ask you to go to the police station and cooperate with the investigation!"


    "No problem, but my employer has the right to request a lawyer and other reasonable and legal actions. Without sufficient evidence, you cannot interrogate or **** him in any form!" The captain of the bodyguard''s lines are comparable to a gold medal lawyer, Imposing.


    "I know!" The policeman said seriously, "But this gentleman, please get in the car and go back with us!"


    "Okay, I cooperate, officer!"


    An Feng smiled slightly, got into his SUV, and was escorted by a police car to the police station in the district, where he was invited to sit down. Fern and Homan, who were traveling together, received a policeman''s wound treatment, which meant wiping off the blood on their faces. It was nothing serious, just a flesh injury.


    An Feng just sat there, picked up his mobile phone and made a bunch of calls. Before the police had time to ask him to cooperate with the investigation, the sheriff received a call from his superiors and a call from the congressman, all of whom expressed concern about the matter, and the lawyer had already arrived. In terms of formation and speed, even if they really broke the law, they would not be able to grasp the opportunity.


    An Feng said to Fern and Homan: "Pay attention, the lawyer will tell you what to say, and what not to say, keep your mouth shut."


    After the scene just now, how could they not know how powerful An Feng is, and nodded repeatedly: "We will definitely."


    There seems to be nothing to say about the definition of the nature of the matter, but the party who was beaten insisted on accusing An Feng of excessive self-defense, even deliberate injury, and An Feng, the "mastermind", who started by sending his men to seduce black girls , It''s a complete trap, even sue him.


    After An Feng heard this, he couldn''t help laughing: "Well, I welcome it. I''m the least afraid of going to court! I''ve invested a lot in law recently, let the lawyers make a good use of it!"


    The lawyer An Feng called also laughed, and Franklin said: "Don''t worry, Mr. An, we can mobilize all the lawyers from the private firm and the company''s legal department, not only to win the lawsuit, but also to let each of them add a few more. For one crime, he will go to prison for a year and a half."


    Jim sycophant said: "Find some more relationships and make them comfortable in prison."


    An Feng made up the picture of the chrysanthemum in his brain, and his whole body trembled, but he nodded: "Just do what you say, and save everyone from thinking I''m easy to mess with."


    It was Fern and Homan who were naive and asked, "How can you be comfortable in prison?"


    An Feng laughed, and the adults laughed too.


    These two hairy kids just learned how to play with women, but they haven''t touched the realm of true love yet.


    Jim held back his smile and explained: "I''ll explain to you after I go out later. There are too many people here, so it''s not good to speak too bluntly."


    Fern and Homan were puzzled.


    The matter is simple - and An Feng''s lawyer team can finally show their talents. They usually deal with contracts and company legal matters. Now they are really serving the big boss. These bored people have to come up with ten Two points of patience, do this thing perfectly?


    When An Feng left, the captain of the bodyguard said something: "A policeman talked with me in private just now, and he said that those people belonged to the local gang, and one of them was a bit important, and he was the cousin of the gang boss. It is recommended that we negotiate in private, otherwise we cannot guarantee other things."


    "The police are black?" An Feng''s first reaction was this.


    The captain of the bodyguard smiled: "You can understand this yourself."


    "Oh." An Feng nodded, sure enough, it was black, and the policemen in the world were generally black.


    The captain of the bodyguard said: "You can consider maintaining the current security staff, although the other party is likely to speak harshly, but just in case."


    An Feng said: "Don''t worry, I have my own way."


    In the end, the police didn��t investigate An Feng very much. There was no way. If you ask a question, An Feng is still thinking, and there are a group of lawyers beside him to answer for him. If you play like this, can we still communicate well? In the end, please leave this great god, and I am a little policeman, who can''t afford to be provoked or hide!


    After An Feng got in the car, he called a state congressman he knew and told him about what happened here. The other party met at a previous banquet, and he was a member of the Republican Party, so he naturally flattered the core group. This time An Feng gave him a chance to curry favor and see how he handles this matter.


    He just finished making a phone call, and flew back on a private plane the next day, so it''s not worth caring about little **** and the like.


    The follow-up of the matter is that the congressman attached great importance to An Feng''s affairs, and used the relationship of various parties to let the LAPD carry out clean-up activities against the gangs in that area. Subdue immediately, otherwise, black and white will be attacked together, and they will be completely wiped out.


    In less than three days, the other party gave up completely, and the gang boss personally apologized, but the target was not An Feng��he didn��t have the qualification��it was just two pure black youths from the Caribbean. Fern and Homan learned that the gangster in the movie The boss apologized to them, nervous and excited, unable to sleep at night, just remembered how to brag to his partners about the fact that American gangsters and them were friends after returning from vacation.


    As for the gangsters who insisted on suing An Feng, they have now been abandoned by their beloved gang, and are facing a lot of accusations from lawyers. Their own lawyer ran away. It is said that someone smashed their car, so they dare not take care of it This matter... the only thing the gangsters need to consider now is how to pick up the soap after entering the prison.

 Chapter 157： The land has landed

    Chapter 157 The land is settled


    Erhei��that is, Fern and Homan learned to be grateful after having a good time in Los Angeles for a week. Before leaving, they decided to publicize to their parents and brothers the status of the boss in the United States, his extraordinary ability, and his inexhaustible wealth... Finally An Feng would never agree with that.


    No matter what, the effect that should be highlighted has been achieved. An Feng generously donated millions of dollars to win Erhei a place to study in the United States, and the two guys went home to pack their bags and prepare to come to the spring semester after Christmas. At the same time, it also establishes the power that An Feng can have.


    If you dare to cheat... An Feng said that he would send a team of paratroopers to their country.


    Recently, Aegis Security has made a lot of moves. It is said that their general counsel, Mr. Korotayev of Russian origin, has a plan to form a rapid response team.


    Not long after the two Erhei went back, the good news came. Wu Tuo said that after the vote of the parliament, the bill was passed and he was preparing to establish diplomatic relations with the Chinese government. He is currently looking for a suitable candidate for diplomatic ambassador. Naturally, the ambassador has nothing to do with An Feng, but a certain number of diplomatic representatives...


    An Feng felt that he was a little impatient and revealed his intentions. Wu Tuo probably expected that the parliament would pass this bill, and happened to meet someone who was interested in diplomatic representatives in China. Come out, followed by this scene.


    Sure enough, **** is still old and spicy. Who said that black people''s brains are not easy to use?


    If An Feng is calmer, it will not be difficult to bargain, because he is the only one who is interested and willing to pay��why let his motherland be there, and his relatives and friends are there? If you want to change an American, you don''t bother to pay attention to it. If you give a few million a year, you just go to a country where you don''t understand the language?


    But it doesn��t matter if you lose money or make money, it��s worth exchanging millions for diplomatic privileges. As long as there are benefits, An Feng will not care about small money... He spends his time on important things, such as watching Joanna��s third-place swordsmanship battle. The game was held in UCB''s indoor stadium, and the audience was full that day.


    After the coach''s targeted training, she maintained a very good condition, wearing a decent sword suit, and she was as cool as ever. Before putting on the mask, she smiled towards An Feng, her sweet image won warm applause from the audience, and even a small group of fans shouted.


    Joanna��s opponent is not as high-profile as her, because when you can��t make the audience scream in appearance, you should obediently put your energy into the game. The girl is slightly shorter and has blond hair. She is different from Joanna in that she holds a sword in her left hand and is left-handed.


    Before the start of the game preparations, Joanna and the opponent were both in position two meters from the center line, standing sideways, pointing at the opponent. The hand that was not holding the sword was placed behind him.


    With the start of the referee''s French, the duel between the two female swordsmen began. Joanna was in good condition today, and she took the lead in attacking confidently. hit. The referee lights up and Joanna gets the score.


    After the referee stopped, An Feng and the audience applauded. Fencing is very particular about etiquette. Only after the referee speaks can the audience express their joy, otherwise it will affect the performance of the swordsmen on the field. Because saber is the most important thing about speed and dexterity, even a slight negligence will lead to defeat.


    The two ladies take their positions again two meters from the center line. The game of saber is different from foil or epee. The speed of each round is very fast, and unlike the previous two swords, which can only stab, the saber can both stab and chop. It focuses more on how to chop the opponent. So stabbing points are rare.


    In the next nine minutes of the game, Joanna''s good form has been maintained. The opponent has always been stabilized by her self-confidence and skills. Although she occasionally scores, it is not as crisp as Joanna. In the last few seconds, Joanna, who was full of fighting spirit, used two feints to draw out the opponent''s flaws. She slashed her head with a sword, and the referee turned on the colored lights. Joanna scored again.


    The result of the competition was already obvious. Joanna finished the whole game with ease and ease... Then the referee announced the final victory for Joanna and held a simple awards ceremony. The chairman of the school fencing association personally awarded the medal to Joanna.


    Everyone applauded and congratulated her. She has a lot of fans, both male and female. Daisy also cheered for her in the fan group... An Feng stepped forward to hug her, congratulated her, and kissed her, making the male fans smile. Hostility, finally a goddess with both temperament and appearance is born, but she is famous and beautiful.


    Daisy jokingly said to him: "Mr. An, the juniors are new fans, and their hearts are fragile. Be careful that you will be challenged by them tonight."


    An Feng said with a smile: "Failure will make them grow."


    Joanna raised the sword in her hand and said, "Don''t worry, I will protect him."


    Daisy smiled: "Look at you, show affection everywhere!"


    ��


    An Feng asked Joanna for some fencing skills. The movements are quite simple. In fact, any sport is simple. Track and field is to swing two legs, boxing is to swing two fists, racing is to turn the steering wheel and hit the accelerator... But how Mastery is another world.


    Joanna is very happy, because she can bully him openly, and she always wins by herself. She pretends to protect him...but she doesn''t know who always curls up in his arms at night, An Feng''s arms feel numb and think If she secretly took it away, she would feel at ease after waking up to find it.


    The weather is getting cooler, halfway through November, the second and third patients in the research center have also successfully recovered, and announced the results to the world. Those who once preached luck, fake science, or showmanship have invariably disappeared, or been drowned in sneering saliva.


    Now everyone is wise not to stand on the opposite side of this matter. Even if you want to stand on the opposite side, no one will agree with you. When no one pays attention, the opposing voice will naturally disappear.


    After that, An Feng participated in the gathering of the core group again.


    There are fewer people this time, so it is a dinner party. Matthew and his wife were present, as well as some other partners, including the owner of the house, Austin Blulane. The relationship between Sinclair and Blulane is very complicated. You can''t see much cooperation on the surface, but secretly they are in trouble.


    When there are no outsiders around, the theme is relatively light. When talking about business or life, how do you usually play it? Where to relax? Skiing in Canada, hunting in Africa, or flying to the southern hemisphere for the summer? Nothing is high-end enjoyment. After hearing this, An Feng felt that he had just stepped into the ranks of being able to play.


    Austin said: "I recently bought a nearby piece of land and built a golf course. Are you interested in playing a few shots tomorrow?"


    Matthew shook his head: "Don''t count me in, I have to participate in the Jockey Club activities tomorrow."


    Austin looked at An Feng: "Bruce, are you interested?"


    An Feng also shook his head: "I have to go to fencing class tomorrow."


    Austin looked at other people, and Matthew smiled: "Stop playing such boring things, and follow me to raise a few racehorses when you have time, and enjoy a more elegant life."


    Austin shook his head. Playing golf has become a mass sport in front of this group of people, and it is not worth mentioning.


    An Feng was interested in the land he bought: "I saw the golf course you mentioned on the plane. It is flat and open, and it is indeed a good place."


    Austin finally found a confidant: "Of course, it cost some money, and it is very suitable for building the stadium."


    An Feng said: "Recently, I also want to find this kind of land that is flat, has a wide view, and has geographical advantages. Unfortunately, there are really too few of them. I envy you."


    "Thank you!" Austin smiled, "However, I heard that there is an abandoned park on the north coast of Santa Barbara that is going to invite bids next year. Are you interested?"


    "How big is it?" An Feng asked.


    Austin said: "There are about 302 acres, most of which are flat land, with a cliff on the other side, and the beach and ocean below, but there are no stairs to go down."


    Matthew asked: "Bruce, are you buying these to build a house?"


    An Feng nodded: "That''s what I mean, but I haven''t decided whether it''s a castle or something else."


    Matthew said: "Three hundred acres of flat land, building a castle is a waste, the castle should choose the top of the mountain, with a view of the small mountains, refer to the Hearst Castle in California. Flat land is only suitable for garden mansions, or manors. Manors need leisure The environment is not suitable for being too close to the city.��


    An Feng smiled: "You know so much."


    Matthew said: "I have always had this kind of plan, but it is not in the United States, but in the United Kingdom."


    Afterwards, An Feng asked Austin about the details of the land. The enthusiastic Austin even sent a helicopter to take them to the sky to observe. The abandoned park has now been bulldozed, exposing bare land, surrounded by some residential areas, It is very close to the airport, maybe six or seven kilometers.


    One side of the land is close to the sea, with a 1.3-kilometer-long coastline. The sandy beach and sea water underneath are unpolluted, clear and blue, like a rare treasure, but there is a 30-meter gap between the sandy beach and the land. If you want to go down to enjoy the private beach, It is necessary to build stairs on the cliff.


    After turning around, An Feng asked Joanna beside him: "How do you feel, is the location okay?"


    Joanna nodded: "The environment here is very good. Santa Barbara has always been a livable city, quiet and peaceful, and can also have a private beach."


    An Feng smiled: "It means you like it?"


    Joanna nodded: "Very good."


    According to a friend, the local government intends to invite public bidding next spring, and the estimated auction price is between 35 million and 40 million. That''s right, the tens of millions level is just a flat wasteland. Because Santa Barbara is one of the top ten ideal places to live in the United States, a typical rich city, the local average house price is one million US dollars, and most of the residents are rich stars who come to enjoy vacations and freedom.


    Other places talk about rich people''s districts, but here they talk about rich people''s cities. Just from the literal understanding, you can know that Santa Barbara is indeed a paradise for rich people. The location of the abandoned park is very good. It is quiet and the air is fresh. It is a good place where you can enjoy the sea breeze in your spare time... An Feng decided to take it.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 158： spend the money

    Chapter 158 Spend the money


    Although it is not sure whether the land can be obtained... But An Feng is determined to win it, whether it is money or people, he has it. Naturally, there is no shortage of money, and he can still afford tens of millions; as for people, through the relationship of Brulan, he got to know some local officials who know the details.


    In fact, money plays a leading role. As long as there is money, the government as the auctioneer will not mind who it is sold to. An Feng left satisfied, and took a look at the land there again. The location is very good, and there are also advantages in transportation. It is surrounded by wealthy areas, with high quality and good public security.


    The rest is the choice of style.


    For inspiration, he and Joanna visited Hearst Castle in SLO during their vacation.


    Hearst Castle was built on the top of the mountain, overlooking the mountains. It uses the architectural styles of various periods in Europe, that is, it combines various architectural cultures into a big pot, and creates a sense of luxury in a mix and match, creating the illusion of a profound history�� You have to forgive the poor history of the United States.


    Most rich people in the United States admire European culture, and they also fantasize about living the luxurious and elegant life of European aristocrats, with aristocratic temperament. So Hearst Castle imitated well, but unfortunately it was donated to the government before it was completed. Some people say that the money is not enough, and some people say that the family has a better castle.


    After some visits, An Feng felt that the luxury was there. Every detail of the castle was exquisite, but it was always not right. Perhaps the religious atmosphere of the building was too strong, and what he felt was a sense of solemnity. When you live in it, you will feel fresh at the beginning, but it will be replaced by dullness after a long time.


    Joanna looked at the towering castle in the courtyard: "The sun is shining, the environment of blue sea and blue sky should be very relaxing, but it is a little less angry."


    An Feng nodded: "Yes, like a late old man."


    So this style is not for them. Afterwards, through the Internet and on-site visits, they came up with a more suitable plan, referring to the Ekaterina Palace in Russia, a palace with a Baroque style��it can also be said to be the Russian version of Versailles, but the colors are more vivid.


    Although they were not able to visit the site, the photos taken by sightseeing are very beautiful. The building is east-west, that is, a long row, two stories high, with milky white walls, echoing the blue and gold embellishments. The color contrast is strong, giving people a sense of grandeur and luxury.


    The front yard and backyard of the palace are very wide, the garden layout is exquisite, the grass is green, and the lake is rippling. Inside the palace, the royal demeanor is brought to the limit. The magnificent corridors leave only luxury in the eyes. At the same time, some blue and white collocations dilute the glitz.


    After reading the introduction, Joanna said: "At that time, it was the holiday palace used by the empress. It was brightly colored and lively in style. It was used for the empress to relax and enjoy the summer. According to some unofficial history, Catherine II Inside with her favorites..."


    An Feng pinched Joanna''s face, but admired the architecture: "This kind of fresh and elegant style without lack of luxury is suitable. If it is too solemn, like the castle in front, with high roofs and monotonous colors, Going to the bathroom at night will probably feel very spooky!"


    "Coward." Joanna laughed at him, "So you decided to adopt this ostentatious Baroque style?"


    An Feng nodded: "Of course, it''s very good, isn''t it?"


    Joanna said: "Is that so? It''s the Queen''s bedroom!"


    An Feng shrugged: "What does that matter? We just need to like it. The rest depends on how the designer uses his imagination according to the requirements."


    Joanna looked forward to it: "I''m really looking forward to it, it belongs to our palace!"


    Finally decided to use the contrasting style of the resort palace to build their future mansion. Of course, the scale must be appropriately reduced. The land is certainly enough, but there are not many people, and the feeling of emptiness caused by the majestic atmosphere must be alleviated. After all, it is not a royal palace, but a private mansion.


    The construction of the imperial palace will take more than ten years, even decades, and this is still under the condition that the emperor funded the construction and summoned experts from all over the country. If it is a private person, I am afraid that there is not so much financial and material support. Could it be that the day he was going to live in, he was already on crutches?


    That��s why we should focus on enjoyment, and enjoy it in the most beautiful years of life, and don��t recall the passion of those years when you are old. An Feng hopes that the construction period will be three years, and it can be four years if it is longer. At that time, maybe if you have a child, you can walk in the royal garden with your wife and children.


    ��


    After the style of their mansion is determined, Joanna prepares for the work at the end of the semester. An Feng took a trip to the vineyard��it should be "An''s Winery" now. The vineyard has transformed itself, from a garden to a self-produced and sold winery. It is full of vigor and is ready to soar into the sky.


    The management of the winery, Old John, is in charge. He does everything from picking grapes to hiring senior winemakers. Lin Hai is only in charge of marketing, how to sell wine to more people, expand its brand effect, and seize the market... It sounds like everyone has strong confidence.


    The old John suggested that Anfeng could reduce the planting area appropriately.


    An Feng asked: "Why?"


    Old John explained with a smile: "Because the winemaking workshop of the underground wine cellar is limited, and the output is too high, it will virtually lower its value. Refer to the famous French estates, which always occupy a large area, but their grape planting area is very large. Maintained at about 100 acres, the output is stable."


    An Feng said: "But that''s a situation where the reputation is big enough. We''re not famous yet, right?"


    Old John said: "Don''t worry, the quality of this batch of grapes is very good. Even Frank, who bought the grapes, kept praising them as the best grapes he had ever seen."


    "Could it be bio-fertilizer?" An Feng wondered, he had indeed asked Tai Lan to help him produce some before, but it is a pity that Tai Lan has changed hands now.


    Leaving old John to take care of the winery, An Feng went to meet with the design team of the racetrack. This time the design has been completed, and they will contract the construction of the racetrack, which is expected to be completed in about one and a half years. According to An Feng''s request, he first paid the contract payment of 200 million US dollars.


    In fact, this is a lot of money. Generally, 10%-20% of the contract payment is collected in advance. Anfeng pays half of it at a time. Naturally, it is for the purpose of tax avoidance. When calculating taxes and fees for commercial investment, this part can be reasonably deducted The total tax amount is more than 60 million.


    After the contract is signed, it is reasonable to say that the construction team can work, but they will not work at this time when they encounter Americans'' Thanksgiving and the following Christmas. An Feng despises him. He still works from nine to five when commuting. The salary in the same industry is three times higher than in China, and he refuses to get off work overtime.


    Complaints are complaints, and the contractor guarantees for one and a half years, so naturally they have their confidence. If they don''t do well, according to the contract, they will compensate An Feng a lot of breach of contract. They should worry about the progress of the project, not themselves. After I figured it out, I relaxed and waited for the upcoming vacation.


    At the end of November, the design team of Turku Shipyard went through more than a dozen revisions, and finally completed the design of the cruise ship that satisfied both An Feng and Joanna.


    The Queen is similar to the two largest cruise ships in the world previously designed by the Turku Shipyard. After all, the tonnage difference is not large. It has two rows of buildings on the left and right, with a total of 16 decks. There are two buildings across the front and back, which are 16 floors. The No. suite is designed as a casino and indoor swimming pool at the back.


    The middle part of the cruise ship is vacated, and it is divided into upper and lower platforms. The upper floor is located on the ninth deck, facing the sun in the open air, and is designed as a luxury shopping center and a central park; while the lower floor is on the third deck, mainly including cinemas, theaters and indoor ice skating rinks.


    There are many other details, but An Feng is most concerned about the No. 1 suite on the top floor of the front deck, which will span two rows of buildings on the left and right, with a forward and streamlined shape. It is located on a high place with the best view and can overlook the sea; the design spanning two rows of buildings can also overlook the public area at the foot.


    The room adopts a duplex structure. There are three bedrooms on the upper floor, with an outdoor viewing platform and an open indoor balcony. You can see the exclusive swimming pool on the lower floor, and you can overlook the magnificent ocean through the floor-to-ceiling windows; the lower floor is a variety of living areas, leisure areas and A collection of enjoyment and luxury such as the library.


    Suite No. 1 will be the most luxurious and the best located. It has a construction area of ??about 1,500 square meters, and Anfeng expanded it greatly, because the construction of this cruise ship is a gift to Joanna. The commercial nature of cruise ships is due to tax avoidance considerations, as well as recovery of operating costs.


    It is equivalent to a mobile holiday palace. You may live in it two or three times a year, and have a carnival trip around the Caribbean with tourists from all over the world, or travel to Europe, America or even the world. As a ship owner, you will enjoy the most luxurious and comfortable top treatment.


    We will provide a variety of rich services when traveling overseas. In the open sea area, you can go to the casino to play a game, go to the swimming pool on the top floor to bask in the sun and swim when you are bored, or go to the open-air theater to watch a show, play golf on the top floor, and do some rock climbing on the large platform at the stern. Or walk between the spacious decks on the upper and lower floors, have a shopping spree, and taste food from all over the world... It can be said that as long as it can be done on land, it can be done here, or even better.


    The last is the data, which is called "Queen-Joanna", which means "Queen Joanna". The longest is 365 meters, the width is 65 meters, and the water surface is 75 meters high. It can accommodate 6,500 tourists and 2,000 crew members. The displacement is 230,000 tons, and it will probably be several hundred tons more when it is completed, but it must not be less, otherwise it will not be able to break the world record.


    After appreciating the design drawings, An Feng and Joanna were very satisfied, so they called a lawyer. After checking, they signed the contract and paid them 600 million US dollars through Ocean Shipping Company. The other party notified the account the next day, and promised to complete the construction of the largest cruise ship with the highest priority and the fastest speed.

 Chapter 159： chip revolution

    Chapter 159 Chip Revolution


    But it will be at least two years before the Queen''s maiden voyage.


    After investing all the planned money this year, my wallet is empty, and the end of the year is approaching. Joanna and An Feng spent a Thanksgiving without turkeys. They are not Americans, so it doesn��t matter if they celebrate the holidays. Instead, they do volunteer work with the girls at school, which is busy but interesting.


    December is after Thanksgiving, and the countdown to the holidays begins at universities around the world. While Joanna is preparing for the exam, she is also planning holiday activities. An Feng was in charge of searching for strategies on the Internet according to her request, and chose the one he liked... The days were very peaceful, until the GP company notified him.


    Graphene chip finally succeeded!


    The news came a bit late. According to An Feng''s original prediction, it would take three to five months to get it out, but now it took almost a year. It can be seen that the gap between ideal and reality is not small. Even if the theory is completely correct, the experts in the technical team still have a long way to go.


    But a breakthrough is a good thing, and it means that money can be made again.


    An Feng finally felt the urgency of lack of money. When he first sold Tailan shares, how should he spend more than one billion yuan, but once his personal plan was implemented, his wallet was immediately empty. There is a lot of money in an offshore account, but it is of a corporate nature and not as convenient as a private account.


    The market potential of graphene chips is no worse than that of super batteries, and it is even easier to popularize with the public, and it can drive the revolution of chip technology.


    An Feng''s special plane flew to Texas and landed at Austin Airport, and the company sent a special car to pick him up. Very interesting, it is actually a Tesla MODEL-S.


    Due to the strength of GP Energy, Tesla, which has a particularly huge demand for super batteries, is closely following them.


    The driver opened the rear door for him, An Feng got in the car, and the electric car started silently, running peacefully and at a constant speed on the road. It felt very different from a gasoline car, and it was too quiet to drive. Put more work on the decoration and suspension, and you can''t feel that you are in the car when you close your eyes.


    But the workmanship of American cars... this is still not discussed.


    "It uses a new type of battery?" An Feng asked boredly.


    The driver nodded and said: "Yes, sir. It looks the same as a normal MODEL-S, but it uses a super battery specially developed by the company for Tesla. It has an outstanding range and can reach more than 650 kilometers. Charge 70%, ten minutes full."


    An Feng said: "There are very few super charging stations in Texas, right? What about ordinary ones?"


    The driver replied: "The wall-mounted high-voltage charger takes 25 minutes to fully charge, while the ordinary household charging plug takes about 40 minutes."


    "Very good!" An Feng finally felt that the future was close to him, starting with super batteries, and then super chips, slowly driving various fields.


    The driver is a chatterbox, and he couldn''t stop when An Feng spoke: "Recently, Tesla can be regarded as a star in the automotive industry. It signed a ten-year super battery supply contract with GP Energy. In the future, the electric vehicle market in the United States may be dominated by it. , and the recent stocks have also doubled."


    An Feng smiled and asked, "Have you bought Tesla stock?"


    The driver also smiled: "After GP announced a breakthrough in super battery technology, I bought a little Tesla''s stock as early as possible, and now it has more than doubled. It''s a pity that it''s not the original stock. The guy who takes the original stock is the most profitable. Yes, more than two hundred times, it can be called the mass production place of millionaires."


    An Feng jokingly said: "If GP Energy is going to be listed in the future, everyone has to rush to buy it."


    The driver said: "Of course, I am very optimistic about it."


    I chatted all the way to the company. I haven��t seen each other for two months. The land next to me has become a construction site. I heard from the driver that a new building is being built, taking into account both office and technology research and development. There is also a helipad on the roof, which An Feng likes, the designer is good, the big boss just needs a dedicated helipad on the roof.


    The electric car deliberately detoured for a certain distance, drove on a temporarily rebuilt road, came to the original company''s six-story office building, and stopped steadily. The female assistant Eve had been waiting for a long time, and she quickly stepped forward and opened the car door. An Feng got out of the car, looked up at the office building, and walked towards the main entrance.


    An Feng said while walking: "Is it going well recently?"


    Eve nodded: "The operation of the company is good. GP Energy''s No. 1 workshop will be in operation by the end of the year, and No. 2 and No. 3 are expected to be completed in the second half of next year."


    An Feng looked at her with a smile: "I mean you, can you get used to a busy life?"


    With the lessons learned from John, he is right to ask this question. He really likes to put all the pressure on the assistant secretary, and then go on his own.


    Eve smiled: "Thank you, Mr. An, for your concern. The work is very challenging, but I can do it well."


    An Feng nodded: "I believe in you."


    Eve''s job is not bad. Although there is still a gap between him and the skilled and talented John, but for An Feng who doesn''t like to change subordinates frequently and is a little nostalgic, as long as it is not a fatal flaw, he plans to gradually develop into a A trusted confidant. Eve is a candidate.


    Came to the lab, hugged Song Wenrui, whom I hadn��t seen for a long time, and said to the team members: ��Congratulations everyone! I brought you such a great New Year��s gift!��


    Song Wenrui said: "Fortunately, I have the full support of my husband."


    An Feng said with a smile: "You are too modest. Without your work, where would you be today?"


    An Feng''s words are very helpful to the employees. Although they do all the finishing work, it is the somewhat unpredictable young boss who really pioneered. But being able to contribute to the Great Wall of Technology and witness its breakthrough and rise is a lifetime. A glory to be remembered.


    After exchanging pleasantries, the personality of the engineering man was exposed, and everyone got to the point and showed the samples. It is a computer about the size of a home computer case.


    Song Wenrui said: "We successfully installed graphene chips on the computer and assembled them into a minicomputer, which has 16 superprocessor chips built in. But except for the chip, we are not prepared in other aspects. The minicomputer is a cooperation with IBM. made."


    He continued: "The processor chip uses IBM''s POWER architecture, and other hardware is obtained from suppliers in various fields. At present, the R&D team is considering whether to develop our own processor architecture, or according to IBM''s idea, we will cooperate with It cooperates and takes what''s available."


    There are many ways to process processor chips. Minicomputers and servers are a bit far away from ordinary people. Taking the current household microcomputers as an example, the chips are nothing more than Intel or AMD. They seem to be different, but they all use the X86 architecture. If a microcomputer company wants to manufacture chips, it must have the authorization of X86, and the patent of X86 is in the hands of Intel. If it does not grant it, what you do is useless.


    Minicomputers and mainframes are similar, and IBM''s architecture patents are there.


    An Feng has his own ideas. He has a new architecture with strong compatibility in his head. Whether it is a microcomputer platform or other mainframe platforms, there are simple instructions or complex instruction sets, and this is much easier than developing chips. Just tell me the time.


    But now his concern is performance: "How does the performance compare?"


    Song Wenrui said: "Compared with IBM''s Power-740 minicomputer, the test product has 32G of memory, and the peak frequency of the graphene chip reaches 300GHz. After a series of complex comprehensive tests, it is concluded that its performance is about It is more than 150 times that of the 740, comparable to a large computer."


    "It''s great!" An Feng said, knowing that it''s too complicated is useless, all he needs to know is how powerful it is after comparison. Graphene really hasn''t let him down now.


    Song Wenrui continued: "Moreover, it generates very little heat, consumes low power, and its manufacturing cost is about ten times higher than that of computers of the same type."


    Ten times the performance of hundreds of times, as long as it is not a fever, you will be willing to accept it. The market for minicomputers is also huge. If its performance can replace mainframes, it can almost monopolize both medium and large computers. IBM will definitely be in a hurry, but fortunately they also have shares in GP.


    There are too many articles that can be done here. It is estimated that the top management of IBM should now consider how to bribe the people on the GP company, so that they can win more shares, or cooperate in research and development, and devour this huge market. Maybe their ambitions will revive and they will want to invade the microcomputer market.


    But An Feng doesn''t want to touch the shares of GP company anymore. The water here is too deep, and the consortium family is taking root. If there are more outsiders, it may be difficult to coordinate. The best way out for graphene chips is to establish a subsidiary company... GP Electronics finally recruited wise men like last time.


    An Feng is not interested in the business fight. The purpose of developing these was to make money at the beginning, and it is still the same now, but there is one more thing: robot companies can use it. He considered making a mainframe and moving it back to San Francisco as the core server of the robot company to expand the field of cloud computing.


    Hoffman has been wanting to use GP''s graphene computer recently. Apart from his hobby, he said that it can provide a lot of help for research and development.


    Even, this monster plans to set up a small-scale cloud computing network.


    The future of cloud computing is very interesting. A small mobile device is connected to the mainframe through the network, and the calculation process occurs entirely on the mainframe. The device is only responsible for receiving the final data through the network. In some respects, the mobile device Computing power is as strong as a mainframe.


    Further expansion, whether it is a notebook, a desktop, or a tablet, there is no need to develop a separate chip, all of which are based on cloud computing, and all calculations occur on the core host, which is fast and powerful... After all, An Feng felt that this was the prototype of "Skynet".


    Hoffman went around this pit!

    PS: I��ve been very busy recently, and the update time may not be normal in the past two days... After the 3rd, the punctual and monthly ticket additions will resume.

 Chapter 160： play big guy

    Chapter 160 Playing Big Guys


    An Feng plans to stay in Austin for three days.


    It took some time to deal with the development of the chip. In fact, the R&D team has a good grasp of this aspect. All he needs to talk about is follow-up research. The potential of graphene chips is huge. This success is only an introduction to this technology. The research and development team still needs to go deeper to maintain an absolute lead in technology.


    In addition, the company''s CEO Benjamin Hawley is preparing to hold a general meeting of shareholders to discuss the establishment of a subsidiary. The future of GP Electronics can be predicted, and it will turn out to be a dark horse again. Although the news is confidential, it is not blocked, and IBM, which holds a stake in the company, has been informed.


    An Feng was delighted to hear this scene, moving a small bench to watch everyone scrambling to raise the price to the sky, just like the sensation caused by the establishment of GP Energy last time, there is no mass production sample yet, just the establishment of the company will make money A large sum has been paid, so that the development work has no worries at all.


    The only thing I worry about is how to avoid anti-monopoly issues after the company grows. This is also considered by a special department. If it doesn��t work, the two companies will compete and watch the executives rob the market.


    the next day.


    An Feng''s plane arrives.


    Before he came to Austin, he was thinking about hunting in winter, and ordered a Robinson R44 helicopter through the service of American Express, which was very cheap for him. On the second day after he arrived in Austin, the seller sent the plane to the company and parked it on the lawn in front of the office building.


    After the helicopter landed, a group of company white-collar workers watched their boss take off his suit, roll up his shirt sleeves and play with the plane. He had a lot of fun and subverted the image. He even flew in the battle himself, performing sharp turns and lateral moves. Waiting for the exciting action, this group of people... were stunned.


    The boss didn''t plan to get off the plane, he walked around, said hello to his assistant Eve in the air, and left Austin for Lano County.


    Visiting your own hunting ground is naturally indispensable when you come to Texas.


    After flying at the maximum cruising speed for more than ten minutes, after finding the landmark of Buchanan Lake, a little further south is his hunting ground, with lush trees and dense forests, and a different scene on the river bank further south, with flat land and flocks of cattle and sheep , the two scenery together, very harmonious.


    Fly along the river. There is a private river bank of more than 1,000 meters in the north. The river is very wide, about 100 meters. It is not bad to put a few motorboats to play in the water. After that, I found a flat land, stopped next to "Mike Firepower", turned off the engine, jumped off the plane, and went straight to the gun shop.


    and the old Mike dressed in cowboys came to a warm hug. I haven''t been to this gun shop for a while, and it has changed a lot. There are more types of guns on the shelves and on the walls. There are many posters on the wall, all of which are advertisements for weapons and ammunition companies. In addition, there is a wall dedicated to pasting the signs of various associations. Old Mike explained: "This venue is good, and local gun lovers like to gather to play."


    "Congratulations, it seems that the gun shop is developing very well." An Feng said.


    Old Mike smiled and said: "It was a bit unexpected, but thanks to Bruce''s idea and generosity, allocating such a large piece of land has indeed raised the gun store to a few levels. I am considering whether to use the profit of the gun store next year. Expand some projects, such as moving targets."


    An Feng said: "It''s up to you to decide. You know I don''t care much about profit, as long as the gun store can continue to operate normally, and I''m going to contribute a certain amount of income to the gun store. Prepare bullets and guns. December I''ll come over with my friends and enjoy the hunting grounds."


    "Oh!" Old Mike seemed to remember something, and beckoned An Feng to go with him, "Follow me buddy! I saw a good thing last time, you will like it!"


    An Feng followed Old Mike suspiciously to a small warehouse next to the gun shop. He smelled a pungent gasoline smell in the air. As soon as he walked in, his eyes were attracted, he stared at it for a while, and then he came back to his senses and said: "Wow! Mike! This is great! Amazing!"


    Parked in front of him is a classic Army military vehicle with green, yellow and black paint, black tires, and a somewhat ugly boxy shape. Of course, some people think it is a kind of masculine beauty. The rate is very high, it is the HMMWV that has been fighting all over the world with the US military.


    It is also commonly known as "Hummer", but HMMWV has little to do with the Hummer that people think. HMMWV is a pure military vehicle. It is prepared for the battlefield. It is full of armor, equipped with special self-rescue winches, weapon racks, and weapon platform armor... and Civilian Hummers are just for fun for ordinary people.


    The old Mike professionally introduced: "It is an M1044 armed transport vehicle. In view of the shortcomings of the basic vehicle''s lack of protection, it has strengthened the armor and is equipped with a weapon bracket. It can hold the same weapons, M240 machine gun, M2HB, etc. In terms of weight There has been an increase in mobility, but no decrease in mobility."


    An Feng looked at it carefully, opened the door, and felt a heavy and solid feeling. The door is armored and reinforced, and the windows are also thick bulletproof glass.


    Mike said: "The top of the M1044 is specially reinforced. After adding these armors, its weight is close to 3 tons, but its maneuverability has not declined."


    An Feng looked back at Mike: "Can it still drive?"


    Mike smiled and said, "Why not? Otherwise, what would I buy it for?"


    An Feng couldn''t wait to get in the car. The interior was completely different from the ordinary Hummer. The seat was very narrow, and there were various communication equipment beside him that had not been removed. They were piled up randomly. In the middle of the back row was a machine gunner who raised the height The seats make the space narrower, even a little depressing.


    The seats are hard and very uncomfortable, the steering wheel feels bad, and the central control panel is extremely simple. As for the air conditioner, don��t even think about it, just wait for the sweat in summer.


    Started the beast under the guidance of Mike, stepped on the accelerator, the engine roared low, and after Mike got on the co-pilot, he slowly drove the car out.


    The comfort of driving a military vehicle can be completely ignored, because it is used to torture people. And the heavy body will give people a great sense of security. Ordinary pistol bullets don��t want to penetrate armor. The continuous vitality of assault rifles can be considered, and heavy machine gun bullets can��t stand it.


    No matter how much armor is added, the roadside IED (improvised bomb) can easily make it go to the sky.


    On the other hand, the M1044 has strong off-road performance, independent suspension, and a large suspension stroke. It is equipped with a 6.5-liter V8 engine, but it only has 150 horsepower, which is too strange. What''s even more weird is that its torque reaches 600 N It can be said that it is completely used to conquer the battlefield environment.


    Mike saw that An Feng was driving relatively steadily, so he said: "Don''t be so gentle with it, this guy is born to be treated roughly!"


    Encouraged by An Feng, the soul of Combat Maozi possessed him. He turned the heavy steering wheel and crashed into the pile of rubble beside him. He didn''t expect the **** to be so intense.


    After passing a few steep gravel slopes that ordinary off-road vehicles are difficult to conquer, An Feng forgot all the discomforts of driving it and immersed himself in the fun of off-roading.


    After playing for half an hour, An Feng, who smelled like gasoline, drove the dirty car back.


    After getting out of the car, he stretched his body and said, "It''s good, but it''s too uncomfortable to drive. It''s fine for occasional fun, but long-term driving is completely torture. I thought the Hummer H1 for civilian use was simple enough, but I didn''t expect the Hummer H1 for military use to do it again." Refreshes my understanding that off-road vehicles do not consider comfort."


    Mike smiled: "If you want to combine off-road and comfort, you need a Land Rover, or a stronger Mercedes-Benz G-Class."


    An Feng agreed: "The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is indeed impeccable."


    Mike looked at the roof of the car and asked, "Are you considering putting a machine gun on it?"


    "Of course." An Feng readily agreed, no wonder it looked a little uncoordinated. It turned out that there was no machine gun on his head, which made him less domineering.


    Back the car back into the warehouse, Mike called another guy, they reinstalled the gun rack that needed to be installed on the roof, and hung a black M2HB machine gun on it, An Feng experienced it in the center of the back row After a while, Mike will drive the car out and let him have a real addiction.


    As a machine gunner on a fast-moving HMMWV, this feeling is really great. Hold the machine gun with both hands, press the trigger with two thumbs, and watch the bullets spray out, splashing some stones along the road, shooting range targets Destroy them all and feel like you are at war.


    Flying bullet casings, strong smell of gunpowder, shaking car body, roaring gunshots... This is a hundred times more exciting than watching movies or playing games!


    After An Feng emptied five boxes of bullets, there were yellow shell casings under his feet. He jumped down and saw that it really looked like the effect of just returning from a charge on the battlefield. It was real and exciting, and An Feng also came up with an idea from this: "If How about arranging this as an experience session?"


    "Very good." Mike said, "I''ve thought about this too, and I was just about to tell you. I didn''t expect you to bring it up first. It feels good, doesn''t it?"


    "It''s great! It''s really like fighting a war!" An Feng said.


    Mike said: "So I plan to try out this experience. Recently, more and more gun friends have come to shoot targets. When they are preparing for the competition, we will launch this project."


    An Feng nodded, but said: "But you need to buy a few more cars. I like this car, so I turned it into a private collection. By the way, how much did you spend?"


    "This becomes yours, how cunning!" Mike said with a smile, "I bought it from a military fan, 80,000 knives, and some of them are not in good condition, but they can be opened. About 50,000 to 70,000, as long as you use the profit of the gun shop to buy it, you should be able to buy two more."


    "I''ll write you a check." An Feng said, "I''ll give another 500,000 to the gun store. You can find some useful military vehicles. Don''t worry about the money."


    Mike said: "Don''t talk about military vehicles for 500,000 yuan, you can even buy tanks."


    An Feng''s eyes lit up: "I''ve been thinking about tanks, do you have any connections?"


    Mike nodded: "Yes, there are, but World War II tanks cost at least a hundred thousand, and the current third-generation main battle tanks even cost four to five hundred thousand, which is too expensive."


    An Feng expressed his attitude: "Money is not a problem!"


    Mike looked at him and smiled: "Forget that you are a rich man! Last time I saw someone selling a decommissioned M1A1 tank, it was sold for 720,000 yuan, which is very cheap, but unfortunately it has changed hands."


    An Feng was surprised: "Isn''t the M1A1 still being used in large numbers by the U.S. Army?"


    Mike nodded: "The earliest batch of service is retired now, and has been purchased by many people through various channels. However, considering the confidentiality, its gun barrel will be drilled a few holes, the fire control system must be dismantled, and it has depleted uranium armor. The gas turbines must also be dismantled, and it seems that the gas turbines cannot be kept.��


    An Feng thought for a while, and said: "It''s not bad. I want the gun barrel and fire control system, but it''s useless, and I don''t have any shells for me to use. If they are disassembled, there will be room."


    "Then you want to buy this type of tank?" Mike asked.


    "Yes, preferably a third-generation tank."


    "There is a model... Sorry, I''m going to make a call." Mike went to make a call and came back and said, "A friend I know knows someone who sells an M1 Abrams tank, which is a little older than the M1A1. But it''s in good condition and the engine hasn''t been removed."


    "How much?"


    "750,000."


    "Just buy one and enjoy yourself." An Feng decided.

    PS: The monthly pass for the new book is over. First of all, thank you for your support! Applause~! Then... Nima 890 votes, I''ll go! Last month, I confidently said that it would be finished at the end of the month... Let��s calculate the primary school problem: 890-452=438, 438 divided by 20 equals 21.9 additions, well, round up to 22 additions.


    22 times... It is estimated that this month will have to add more to go crazy... Seeing the upcoming debt repayment boom in July, everyone will give you a few guaranteed monthly tickets.


    Also, I strongly ask for recommendation tickets! Recommendations don��t cost money, they are available every day, and some have several, don��t you dare to be lazy?

 Chapter 161： diplomatic representative

    Chapter 161 Diplomatic representation


    But it will take a few days for the other party to arrange a trailer to deliver the tank to the door. An Feng doesn��t have that much time to wait. After transferring two million to the gun shop, he decides to come back to play next time. Before he leaves, he asks Mike to help him find something interesting. things... like scrapped cars, as targets for tanks to run over.


    I feel that when I buy a big guy, I have to experience the feeling of being unstoppable. Scrapped cars are very cheap. You can buy a dozen for thousands of dollars and play with them casually. In addition to letting the tank run over it, you can also pour some gasoline on the car and put it in the middle of the shooting range to shoot the machine gun.


    Back to Austin, An Feng expressed some of his ideas again, and asked the R&D department to develop a new architecture, which is highly compatible, and there is no need to use IBM''s POWER, which has many dependencies and will be tied at critical moments. To engage in research and development, all of them must be their own creativity, and perfection can create a reputation.

    At the beginning of December, Joanna was officially on vacation after her exams, and An Feng and her returned to SLO''s vineyard for leisure. At the same time, she is planning a trip. The last time she traveled to Europe, she was in a hurry, and she couldn''t play what she should have played. This time, she plans to go to Paris to watch a musical, attend a fashion show, and watch the New Year in London. count down and so on. It''s casual, and you don''t have to rush like you used to.


    An Feng is the same as her, he no longer needs a visa for traveling in Europe, which really needs to be celebrated with champagne, but the trouble of going to China is always a lump in his heart, so hurry up and take down the status of diplomatic representative, diplomatic immunity allows him to enjoy exemption in China. Sign, inspection exemption, tax exemption, liability exemption and penalty exemption...


    A few days before the holiday, I occasionally visited my father-in-law��s house, had dinner together, teased the kids, and listened to their travel plans. They have a lot of spare money, and they often travel around the world during vacations. They used to be a family of four, but now they are reduced to three, with less spending and more freedom of purpose.


    While they were preparing for their European tour, news from Utop of St. Kitts finally came.


    Wu Tuo asked him to go back to China to exchange feelings with the officials, so that his status as a diplomatic representative would be easier.


    An Feng knew that he was about to bleed again, but he didn''t have the right to choose. After the foundation was solid, the charm of money would make these guys obedient.


    Still took a few bodyguards and set off, accompanied by his wife, to fly to St. Kitts and Nevis.


    An Feng was a big name as usual, his special plane landed, escorted by bodyguards, and asked the hotel to send the best car to pick them up, and arrived at the resort hotel majestically. The motorcade stopped at the main entrance, and the bodyguard stepped forward to open the car door, and the couple walked into the hotel escorted by men in black.


    Leave a curious passing crowd behind.


    This feeling is quite good. Occasionally when I have nothing to do, let the bodyguards cooperate to act aggressively, and I feel full of superiority and victory in life.


    St. Kitts is a tropical country. It is very hot all year round. When living in the room, the air conditioner is often turned on to the coldest. The best way to relieve the heat is to soak in the water to eliminate the heat on your body, or take a speedboat in the afternoon Going out to sea, under the recommendation of the black guide, come to an underwater adventure.


    Around Christmas, there are many foreigners who come to St. Kitts Island for vacation. Except for the area reserved by An Feng, the other rooms of the hotel are full. Most of them are tourists from North America and Europe. Part of the reason is to avoid In winter, come here for a beach holiday.


    In the evening, Sanqi, Uto and their son and nephew came to visit.


    Even the prime minister and deputy prime minister, the bodyguards are still watching vigilantly, not caring what your identity is.


    Uto and Sanqi had a taste of this momentum, comparable to the president''s guards.


    Fern, who was behind them, saw this scene, and whispered to his partner: "Did you see it? I have already said that Mr. An is very capable in the United States. He has both black and white. He has politicians supported by himself, and he also has private armed forces." Power also has a lot of talking weight in the black world."


    Homan nodded in agreement: "Of course, the Americans serve him."


    Sang Qi and Wu Tuo looked at each other, and repositioned An Feng in their hearts. This person is rich and has a strong background. He is definitely not a cat or a dog who can be scared casually. The American business and political circles are a hundred times more complicated than this country. This person can play well, let alone here?


    An Feng came out after being informed by the bodyguard, and apologized: "Sorry, my bodyguard has always been so strict and professional, please forgive me!"


    Sang Qi and Wu Tuo smiled and said, "It''s okay, Mr. An, we can understand."


    An Feng turned sideways to invite them in: "Come in, friends!"


    These people walked in, and met Joanna who had just changed her costume. The radiant lady made their eyes shine, and her natural noble style made them have no doubt that she was An Feng''s wife, that is, a lady of this level. To be worthy of a rich man at this level?


    Sang Qi smiled: "Surely this beautiful lady is Mrs. Ann?"


    Joanna nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am his wife. Nice to meet you guys, please forgive me for not being able to call your names when I am new here."


    The serious Oxford accent further confirmed the guesses in several people''s minds. There is a saying in the UK that the accent can tell the social level. People who speak Oxford English or standard English must have received a good education, and most of them are in the upper class.


    They laughed and said it was okay. As a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the governor is still a country appointed by the Queen of England. He has a natural sense of admiration for Britain, let alone a noble lady from the United Kingdom. Their attitude is even more enthusiastic. And try to act like a gentleman.


    After they were seated, An Feng asked the hotel waiter to serve a few glasses of local fruit wine in order to make the atmosphere more relaxed. The color is bright, like a cocktail, and it tastes very good, and it is not easy to get drunk if you drink too much. Come here and remember the taste of this wine.


    Although Fern and Homan have met An Feng a few times, they are still a little cautious now. It may be that the elders are present, and they are too monkeys to behave. In addition, An Feng gave them a tall image, and they will not let go of the police and the gangsters. In his eyes, a private occasion that only accepts VIPs also unconditionally opens up a green channel for him... In this ordinary small island country, he is a legendary existence in the movie, and he is worshiped by them.


    After some opening remarks, Sanqi got to the point: "We are very grateful to Mr. An for his generosity in helping the two children find a suitable school, and we will give back for this."


    An Feng asked: "Does that mean the problem is not serious?"


    Sang Qi nodded: "Basically there is no problem, but Mr. An, some relationships still need to be taken care of."


    What he said was too cryptic, but An Feng said with a smile: "I know, friend, but you can speak with confidence in front of me. In fact, in the American political circle, these topics are open to the public. It is nothing more than politicians raising funds to support Those who provide help, mutual benefit and cooperation between the two parties.��


    Wu Tuo nodded and said, "That''s what we want to say."


    "How much does it cost?" An Feng asked.


    Sang Qi asked: "About two million dollars, mainly to make members of our party feel that it is worth the money and help the country."


    An Feng said sensiblely: "This is inevitable. Supporting the government''s work is also the duty of every citizen. As long as it is not too exaggerated and within a reasonable range, I will be happy to accept it. Of course, this is my responsibility. What do you think of the views drawn in the United States?"


    Sang Qi and Wu Tuo understand An Feng''s reasoning, he won''t mind if you are reasonably greedy, but if the lion speaks loudly, it will be of no benefit to each other.


    They laughed: "That''s what it means."


    An Feng raised his glass: "Then shall we prepare to celebrate?"


    "Cheers!" Everyone clinked glasses.


    ��


    Although the diplomats have always been designated by the head of the government, at least other members of the government need to be informed, not to mention that a yellow race has been mixed in this time. Of course, as a citizen of his own country, An Feng has the right to vote and be elected, and any position is allowed by law.


    But it will be much more convenient in the future if you make a proper announcement.


    Sang Qi and Wu Tuo planned to start from being familiar with China. Back then, everyone was not familiar with China. They looked around and chose to establish diplomatic relations with Wanwan. They missed the behemoth of the mainland and regretted it. Now that diplomatic relations are established, we must show sincerity and elect representatives with a sense of kinship.


    And this person is An Feng.


    After explaining with this reason, everyone can accept it. Moreover, as a diplomatic representative, An Feng assists the ambassador in China to a certain extent. If you are not convinced, you can try it yourself, but there are really few black people who are blind to China who can have such confidence .


    ��


    An Feng and Joanna continued to enjoy their holidays on the island. They climbed mountains with the local tour guide, dived into the sea, and had a great time... Two days later, Wu Tuo informed him that there would be a banquet in the evening, and then tomorrow was the appointment ceremony, officially assigning diplomats Ambassadors and a certain number of diplomatic representatives.


    An Feng and Joanna attended the dinner in formal attire.


    A bunch of blacks are imitating the upper class to put on a show, which is a bit funny. Their abilities in this area are indeed lacking. An Feng still communicated with them gently throughout the whole process, connecting feelings, and satisfying everyone''s curiosity about the super rich and politician supporters of legends (mostly spread by Fern and Homan).


    Anyway, An Feng felt that he and Joanna had been watched for a long time, constantly dealing with the guests.


    Then it was his turn to make a small speech on the stage, reading a prepared speech, nothing more than donating some money to the government, two million for various supplements, and then a little improvisation, he guaranteed some belongings of the embassy Donated by him, such as embassy vehicles, furniture and electrical appliances... It is completely a good-hearted person, which has doubled the favor of others, and the upcoming ambassador Parry is even more grateful to him.


    Ambassadors stationed abroad need to bring their relatives to live abroad for a long time, and they can have more comfortable living conditions. Anyone will be happy if they change, not to mention that Anfeng spends a lot of money, giving luxury cars, high-end furniture, and central air conditioning... This even makes People are jealous of Parry''s **** luck.


    Familiarity with politicians��familiarity is a bit against his will, because An Feng feels that black people are basically the same.


    The method of acquaintance is very simple. The members of the party are in the single digits, and An Feng buys all of them with 2 million yuan.


    After getting acquainted, the low-key inauguration ceremony began the next day. Eric Parry will serve as the ambassador to China for a five-year term, and the prime minister will continue to decide whether to succeed or not. After announcing the representative, An Feng also attended the ceremony, and the general manager conceived his English name Bruce Ann.


    Followed by the documents in hand, engraved with the official seal of the state.


    An Feng enjoys absolute immunity in China. Like the head of state, no matter what he commits in China, he cannot be sanctioned in principle.


    Of course, there are also out-of-principle ones, such as a terrorist attack by a diplomatic representative��but unless his head is caught by the door a hundred times, he will not die.


    After the inauguration ceremony, a delegation is expected to visit China next Wednesday, headed by the Prime Minister and the ambassador to China, and An Feng will also attend.

 Chapter 162： Die again (Part 1)

    Chapter 162 Die Again (Part 1)


    After the friendly meeting, there was a dinner for the state guests in the evening. An Feng didn''t attend, and his addiction was overdone. As for the appearance in the first hall just now, the news of tomorrow night is guaranteed to show his face. The camera can''t hide from him. According to the etiquette Speaking of it, it must be shown to foreign guests.


    Free activities in the evening, that is, having dinner at the hotel, and then returning to the room to beat the jet lag.


    Early the next morning.


    The visit itinerary is only three days, and now it is the second day. The state leaders have special arrangements, but An Feng and the ambassador to China are not on the list. However, An Feng also has a mission. He is going to visit his country''s embassy in China. A special car to go there, that is, the few Mercedes-Benz S600s he donated.


    The top-of-the-line S600 is naturally luxurious, and the license plate is uniform with white characters on a black background, plus a red word "Shi", indicating its special status. The embassy''s car is recorded and generally counted as the "territory" of the country''s movement, so it enjoys immunity, and it is domineering to drive.


    An Feng and his wife sat in the back row of one of the S600s. The co-pilot was Gu Li. He glanced at the back seat. After the two VIPs were seated, their lips did not move, but the throat-thumping headset transmitted his "go" command. Going out, the two bodyguards in the front car got the order and immediately directed the car to clear the way.


    Guri regards this as a rare opportunity for defense training, and the target is a politician or a national leader. The current environment is very appropriate.


    An Feng has no objection either, and it is his own big name.


    The embassy of St. Kitts and Nevis is near Sanlitun. This area is a famous embassy district with embassies all over the world. Its location is okay, neither good nor bad. It is a bit small, unlike those big countries The imposing embassy has everything it should have, and there are armed police standing guard outside.


    Visiting the embassy, ??An Feng asked about household items that needed to be replenished, such as electrical appliances and furniture, and promised to ask someone to buy a batch and donate them to the embassy. Parry is very grateful for this, because he is about to live here with his wife and children for five years, and no one will refuse if he has good conditions.


    An Feng paid tens of thousands of dollars to get a relationship.


    If there is anything to do in the future, if you call the embassy, ??the ambassador to China must not say a few words for yourself, or confirm the identity of your diplomatic representative?


    So the investment is well worth it.


    After visiting the embassy in the morning, Guli and the two bodyguards took photos with the diplomats, with the embassy as the background and the national flag fluttering behind them.


    In addition to these, there are also photos with the Prime Minister and others, which can be used as a means of Aegis security advertising in the future. This small calculation is crackling, but it is indeed a good opportunity. The employer''s understanding of this aspect is amateurish, and he values ??actual evidence. For example, our company has served as the security guard for foreign leaders and ambassadors. This sounds high-end to employers'' ears - even though it''s a small country.


    But who cares?


    After finishing the work in the morning, I was invited to visit the Forbidden City in the afternoon to let the foreign guests appreciate Chinese culture. An Feng happily took Joanna to visit with her. Due to the nature of the visit, some areas that are usually not open to tourists can also be visited by them, and they can even be photographed.


    After visiting in the afternoon, we visited several scenic spots and had dinner together. In order to relax, An Feng proposed to go to a bar for entertainment, and also invited two receptionists and translators who accompanied them all the way. Evening consumption is not included in the reception fee, and An Feng pays for it, so he asked to go to a high-end hotel.


    Naturally, the two translators would not object to the request of the foreign guests, let alone pay for the treats!


    Everyone came to a certain bar club recommended by the translator. It was fashionable in style and did not have the noisy environment of ordinary bars. Since it was a high-end club, it only served some famous foreign wines. The waiters were also very polite and decent, especially the girls who went to and from the bar. Tall and sexy.


    In the cheerful bar music, holding a glass of wine and communicating with Ambassador Parry, chatting about today''s knowledge, what delicious specialties, etc., the atmosphere is very good, two translators are also adjusting the atmosphere, recommending tomorrow''s activities, These are some short time-consuming, but worthwhile attractions.


    On the way, Joanna went to the bathroom once, and she looked in the mirror in front of the sink to touch up her makeup. Women''s beauty-loving nature was fully revealed, especially when there were many beautiful girls at the scene. Whether it was out of comparison or to save face for her husband, she would Don''t mind being glamorous.


    Looking at the beautiful lady in the mirror, she smiled slightly, picked up her handbag and walked out.


    In the corridor outside, two drunken men were tugging at the bathroom door.


    "Let''s go, let''s go! Come with me for another drink, and bring down these bastards!" A man dragged another guy who wanted to go into the bathroom.


    The man who was caught shook his head violently: "Fuck! Let me go in first to catch my breath!"


    The two people who were pulling each other blocked Joanna''s way. Out of politeness, she said in English instead of unfamiliar Chinese: "Please let me go, sir."


    When the two guys heard this sentence, they looked up and saw a blond and tall foreign girl, both in figure and appearance were high-end. The pulling man let go of the other party, thought it was cool, stroked his hair, and said in broken English: "Hi, girl, nice to meet you."


    "Thank you." Joanna smiled politely.


    The guy who was about to go into the bathroom also stopped, and said in Chinese: "Damn, Li Liang! Such a top-notch girl, you bastard, take advantage of my inattention, and take the lead!"


    The guy named Li Liang was proud: "I have stayed abroad, I can handle this chick in minutes, believe it?"


    "Trust me!" Another guy despised, "It doesn''t count if you spend money! Your way of picking up girls is already clich��d, few women can stand it!"


    Li Liang smiled: "Bet you on a car! See how I fascinate the big horse!"


    The drunk man said: "Bold enough! I''ll follow! Bet you can''t handle her in ten minutes!"


    Joanna frowned slightly when she heard these outrageous words, but in order to avoid trouble, she continued to say in English: "Please let me pass."


    "It''s my honor!" Li Liang stepped aside with a smile, Joanna walked over, but he followed: "Hey, can I buy you a drink?"


    Joanna shook her head: "Sorry, I have friends."


    Li Liang kept smiling, pestering her: "How about just a cup, or leave me a call?"


    "Sorry," Joanna said, "I don''t want to know you."


    After a man heard the words, he laughed: "Hahaha, you don''t need to spend money, you can get a woman? This time you are finally deflated, right?"


    Li Liang turned around and cursed: "Fuck! I''ve given you the car! Keep your eyes open! Today you, Brother Li, must take care of this foreign horse!"


    The drunk man smiled: "Okay! I''ll watch!"


    Li Liang stepped forward quickly, stopped Joanna at the entrance of the corridor, and said proudly: "I want a phone number, how much is it?"


    Joanna understood their conversation, her face became sullen, and her tone became firm: "My husband is nearby, please move away!"


    Li Liang hiccupped and said confidently, "I have a lot of money, and you can''t spend it all."


    Joanna took a step back in disgust. She hated men who smelled of alcohol and were self-righteous and had no manners at all.


    Li Liang is not as tall as Joanna, and she is wearing high heels, so Li Liang is staring at her breasts, secretly praising her, and sweeping her up and down. Exuding a haughty aura, it''s really the best in the world. He is used to playing with women with money to strengthen his courage: "As long as you give me the first time, how about giving you a million?"


    Joanna''s face became ugly, and she looked for her phone from her handbag.


    Li Liang saw this scene, smiled and said to the drunk man: "See? So what if you have a husband? Money can make her open her legs to me automatically!"


    But instead of giving him his number, Joanna made a quick phone call: "Hi, I''m in trouble. I''m in the bathroom hallway."


    Then she hung up the phone and looked at the other party coldly.


    Li Liang was deflated again, no matter if it was money or other things, this woman would not give in to anything, making him ashamed and angry when he was used to using money to bring down women, and then he heard her yelling boldly in front of him, and laughed: "You know Is it? This bar is opened by my friend, and I have the final say here, no matter who you are!"


    Joanna sarcastically said: "Is this the quality you should have?"


    "Crap! Can you speak Chinese? I wasted my feelings just now!" Li Liang was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "If you knew what I do, you wouldn''t dare to talk back to me here! Believe it or not? You man, it��s okay to let him kneel in front of you and watch a group of people **** you!"


    Joanna said angrily: "You are disgusting!"


    "Damn! Come with me!" Li Liang stretched out his hand and was about to grab Joanna''s arm, but she was not a weak woman. She usually had enough exercise, and she had also practiced swordsmanship and self-defense. His hand was empty, and then he slapped him across the face.


    The sound of "snap" was extraordinarily crisp, making other people around look at it.


    Li Liang''s face turned red and then blue. It''s been a long time since he dropped out of school in the United States. He has never been treated like this, especially a foreign girl, which will remind him of how those white people who thought they were superior bullied He...but this is not America!


    "Fuck!" Li Liang scolded, "I won''t kill you tonight, so I''ll write the name upside down!"


    Joanna took a few steps back.


    Li Liang rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward when someone gave him a heavy pat on the shoulder.


    "Hey! Tony!"


    "What are you doing!" He turned his head angrily, but what he saw was an infinitely enlarged fist.


    With a "bang", Li Liang only felt his eyes go dark, the sky spun, and he flew up...he fell heavily to the ground, a piece of hot and humid liquid flowed from his nose to his mouth, and it still smelled salty. Don''t think about it, the previous experience Remind him that he was disfigured by this punch.


    The other drunk man was stunned, he looked at Li Liang who was lying on the ground, and then looked up at the cold man standing in front of him for a few seconds, he was mostly sober, and he jumped up and cursed: "Who the **** are you? Dare to hit someone here! Come on! Come on! Security! Captain Wang! Beat someone up!"


    "Shut up!"


    An Feng stared at the yelling young man with sharp eyes, stepped forward in three steps and pretended to be two, and slapped him on the face, the voice stopped, he turned around on the spot, and fell to the ground. Joanna watched from the side, the anger dissipated in her heart, but looking around, trouble also came.

 Chapter 163： mental damage

    Chapter 163 Emotional Damage Fees


    Things spread internally that night.


    The news was just broadcast at seven o''clock in the evening. It was said that the Prime Minister of St. Francis visited China with a diplomatic delegation to establish friendly bilateral relations and jointly promote cooperation between China and Eastern Caribbean countries. The news was only broadcast for three hours, and there was a commotion over there. , almost handcuffed the diplomatic representative.


    This matter is indeed a headache, the key is that it is vaguely defined, and can be large or small. If you talk about big things, it doesn��t count, at most, the entourage was frightened; but for small things, a group of people surrounded the diplomatic representative to fight, it��s simply not worth paying attention to! Finally, it also attracted the attention of the leaders.


    The result is of course a strict investigation. After investigations and investigations, the cause of the incident lies in Tony.


    The central government ordered that an explanation should be given to the visiting diplomatic representatives in the fastest possible time��meaning that there must be a result tomorrow, because the delegation will leave tomorrow afternoon.


    On the night of the incident, there was an action by the special case team. There were a lot of witnesses to this kind of incident. The security manager of the clubhouse and Captain Wang, who was the first to participate in the action, were invited to drink tea in the bureau. It took no effort to find Tony''s father.


    His father is not a big official, he only works in Beijing, Beijing officials seem to be imposing. Hearing this news, he almost peed his pants. This **** son is usually the most troublesome. He got into trouble in the United States and was shot by the police. I thought Bring him back, and he will live in peace under his nose. I didn''t expect that before it was calm for a long time, there would be a vain attempt to force the diplomat''s wife and entangle unknown personnel to beat the diplomat.


    This time even the top leaders have spoken, the only thing he can do is rush to the door to apologize, and pray that the matter will not be on the news-foreign news, he has means to settle it in China, but the trouble is that the other party is a foreigner, CNN and others learned Finally, whoever can hack China, which time will they let it go?


    ��


    That night, An Feng and the representatives returned to the hotel and had a celebratory supper.


    No one was seriously injured this time, the three bodyguards were injured to varying degrees, but these minor injuries are common in training. Once the clothes were changed, nothing happened, and then everyone ate hot pot together. The weather in City B is really cold right now, it''s the best time for everyone to get together and have a hot hot pot meal if they have nothing to do.


    After exercising just now, everyone consumed too much physical strength. The three bodyguards in Guli who had never tried hot pot ate the most vigorously. Because they were hungry, they all ate with relish. The fork was stirring in the pot, and the three of them occupied If one pot is filled, another group of people will occupy the other.


    An Feng stood up and made a toast to everyone, and said enthusiastically, "Thank you for your help tonight. Although this matter is unpleasant, I have a hunch that someone will apologize to us soon. Just give us a little hint, and everyone will agree to it." Satisfactory results were obtained."


    Master Parry and other diplomats also toasted, enjoyed the delicious meal amid laughter, and then exchanged some "hints". Anyway, it��s not for nothing, Tony was a guy who drove a sports car and lived in a luxury house in the United States, so he didn��t deduct some fat from him, so he wrote his name upside down.


    After eating late at night, they each went back to their rooms. As soon as they entered the door, Joanna turned around and hugged him without saying a word.


    An Feng touched her hair, and whispered in her ear: "Are you scared at night?"


    "No." She shook her head, "They can''t scare me, it''s just that you were so nervous when you rushed out, and you also think... so cool."


    An Feng hugged her and sat down: "Is there any? I feel so embarrassed by them."


    Joanna looked at him: "I''m serious, a man who can stand up for a lady is very attractive, and your performance is completely in line with it."


    An Feng smiled and said: "It seems that your little girl''s hero complex is quite serious, no wonder I have to hug you tightly every night before going to sleep."


    Joanna was proud: "This is my privilege. You have diplomatic immunity, and the diplomat''s wife has the highest authority to direct the diplomat''s actions."


    "Then my wife of a diplomat, how do you want to command me tonight?" An Feng gently pinched her skirt-wrapped **** with his hand, very soft. Since she is usually not in the car or indoors, she doesn''t wear any stockings in winter, which of course feels good.


    Joanna''s body was completely soft on him, and she said softly: "I want... the romantic plot that heroes and beauties should have after they return from victory."


    "Yes, ma''am." An Feng bit her lip.


    ��


    The next day was a sunny day, and it was rare to see the sun.


    After enjoying a Chinese-style breakfast at the hotel, drive to the embassy and prepare to welcome their guests. For this reason, the three of Guli also put on a serious attitude, which is commonly known as "dismounting the horse", which means that you will feel the pressure all the time from the moment you enter the door.


    The other party called and said that he would come in the morning and wanted to meet with the ambassador to explain some things.


    Parry said that he had work in the morning and noon, and asked them to come in the afternoon.


    This trick was taught by An Feng to Parry. It is commonly known as playing big cards. If you don��t give him a break and make him anxious, he will think you are a character who is easy to bully.


    In the afternoon, a low-key Audi A4 of the other party came to the gate of the embassy on time and was stopped by the armed police.


    The entrance of the embassy is equipped with armed police and iron gates as standard. It is impossible for ordinary people to enter. The armed police saluted dutifully, then checked their identity, and notified the embassy. After obtaining permission, they officially released the vehicle. He drove in and parked beside those luxury Mercedes-Benz.


    In the reception hall, An Feng and Ambassador Parry waited quietly.


    There were three people who came in, a young man wearing glasses, a little frail, and he knew it was an interpreter at a glance, followed by a fat middle-aged man, with a pair of triangular eyes squinting, his hair combed back, shiny, looking Just a layer of hairspray. Behind him was a dejected Tony.


    As soon as the middle-aged man came in, he came forward with a smile on his face, and shook hands with a slightly bent waist: "Mr. Ambassador, Your Excellency Diplomat, hello, I am Li Tao, nice to meet you!"


    Parry shook his dark hand, smiled and said, "Me too, Mr. Li."


    Then An Feng shook hands with him without speaking.


    This is Li Tao, who sings a red face and a bad face, and is well versed in officialdom. He immediately knew that the other party had grasped this point. It seems that it is impossible to get away without some blood today... But these people''s thoughts are somewhat different from those of Li Tao. Like An Feng, as long as the money can solve it, then it''s nothing to worry about.


    What is the money for? The **** who is used to smash people at critical moments!


    Both are seated, only Tony standing...and the bodyguard standing at the door. Li Tao didn''t care about his son, and explained as soon as his **** touched the stool, saying that what happened last night was purely a misunderstanding.


    Tony also said in a low voice: "I''m sorry for what happened last night. I hope you can understand me and give me a chance to make corrections!"


    An Feng said slowly: "The attitude is good, but what happened last night did have a great impact on the psychology of the diplomatic representative. Especially my wife, the physical injury is second, and the mental injury is difficult to make up for. If an apology is useful , you don��t need a psychiatrist.��


    When Li Tao heard that this crime was to be said to death, he was frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "This matter is completely our fault! In order to express our apology, we are willing to do our best to make up for the spiritual loss in our private capacity and do our best. It is possible to repair the psychological trauma of your lady!"


    An Feng finally had a smile, he was very sensible, very direct, and it was all about sending money.


    What followed was a conversation with words in it. In fact, to put it bluntly, the two sides negotiated the price, which was the same as the last time An Feng was in St. Kitts Island, and it was the same as the leaders discussing how much to buy the status of a diplomat. On the way, An Feng talked about some insignificant things, such as the drag racing case in San Francisco more than a year ago. It is said that someone put 10 million dollars as a bet, how powerful it was, and so on.


    When Li Tao heard this, he gave his son a hard look. This **** will embarrass himself! Their meaning is very clear, the price cannot be less than 10 million US dollars.


    But what else? Between being punished and paying, everyone will choose to pay, so he said with a smile: "Gentlemen, I will definitely do it until you are satisfied."


    "You''re welcome, Mr. Li." An Feng said.


    Everyone shook hands with each other, and the rest waited to leave. An Feng sent Li Tao off. On the way, he quietly gave An Feng a bank card with a password of six and eight. The insufficient money would be made up in the afternoon.


    An Feng reminded: "In addition to the diplomatic representatives, there are also those of the Prime Minister."


    Li Tao gritted his teeth, but he had no choice but to give him another card: "Average score?"


    An Feng nodded.


    Sending off these two guys, An Feng came back to share the good news with everyone.


    Five million U.S. dollars means little to him. The rich man worth tens of billions really looks down on him, but it means a lot to others. An Feng decided to reward each of the three participating bodyguards with 300,000 U.S. dollars, and the rest of the money Divide among everyone, or use for celebratory play.


    An Feng made a million dollars in the end, and it was considered as the cost of this trip in Beijing.


    But there was another card with a value of five million dollars, which was not handed over to San Qi in the end, but was transferred to the public through some means. More than 30 million yuan, such a large sum of money, was enough to cause the high-level shock In the end, Li Tao was dealt with internally, dismissed from his post, and confiscated the property obtained through illegal embezzlement, and then found out millions of cash from unknown sources, as well as several overseas accounts with huge deposits.


    In the end, due to the huge amount and the roll call, Li Tao and his wife were prosecuted by the procuratorate and may face more than ten years in prison. However, his child, who is usually arrogant and domineering, is now truly doomed. My father is wearing a mask, my old friends have cleared the boundaries, and I have no ability. The future tragic life can already be predicted...


    The diplomatic visit was successfully concluded. Under the control of relevant departments, no media reported on the relevant incidents. The report on Li Tao was only an anti-corruption operation, except for a few times in some folk forums, it was mentioned that he might hit the gun. The real reason, but soon the news was deleted again, and nothing happened... Both parties who benefited from each other are very satisfied, and there is no need to make things embarrassing.


    Guri said: "It''s just like the American media was uncharacteristically low-key during the ''Occupy Wall Street'' back then."


    An Feng is speechless, the hand of emotion is still internationalized!


    The delegation left, but diplomat An Feng, his wife and bodyguards stayed. An Feng will not leave until the money is spent.


    Joanna has an idea: "The Lord **** has made our lives happy and happy. We should repay the society and donate the money."


    An Feng shrugged: "Whatever you want."


    It''s easy to spend this little money. As a diplomat, donate half of it to schools far away from the urban area, exchange some books or something, put the rest in red envelopes, take a stroll around the embassy car, and give some money that is still alive in winter. The New Year''s red envelopes for homeless people wandering on the street each contain three to five hundred yuan.


    The bodyguards and Joanna are in charge of giving, and An Feng is in charge of watching.


    An Feng has a good eye for discerning who is really poor or a professional beggar. Most of the money was given to those in need, and Joanna was also called the "Goddess of Mercy" by an old man. An Feng couldn''t laugh or cry... She spent a whole morning doing good deeds, keeping a low profile throughout, hiding her merit and fame.


    Then accompany her to visit the capital in winter with empty hands, stroll in the streets and alleys, feel the tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the city, or go for a stroll in Houhai. Unfortunately, the lake is frozen in winter and boating is not possible. Looking at Joanna who was cautiously testing the ice, she felt that she was more beautiful than the scenery.


    They returned three days later, the diplomats went all the way to the VIP, and flew back to California on a special plane.

 Chapter 164： Invitation to hunt

    Chapter 164 Invitation to hunt


    It''s the beginning of December when I get home, and the vacation can''t be wasted.


    Long before the visit as a diplomatic representative, An Feng spread the news of the hunting invitation in his circle of friends. It was held at his private hunting ground in Texas, enjoying the VIP service of the gun shop, and casually playing in the private domain of automatic weapons... There are many interested people , when you come back, you have to start preparing.


    Actually, the gun shop has equipment, and An Feng doesn��t need to prepare anything, but Joanna is picky and always thinks about this and that. Hunting clothes are nothing more than military uniforms or custom-made clothes, and she can struggle all day long. Finally, under An Feng''s endless praise, she chose the clothes she liked.


    Participating in the activity, Wang Le and his girlfriend reported for duty, and Henry, who was also interested, also brought his hunting dog.


    This time, most of them are of the same age, and the older ones are either preparing for Christmas or traveling around the world with their families��for example, father-in-law Frank, who plans to go to the southern hemisphere to enjoy the summer in December, so he is not short of money. , although not at the level of An Feng, but also generous.


    The crowd flew to Los Angeles together, and the tools for this trip were arranged by Roger, because there were a lot of people, except for a few friends of An Feng, Roger, his girlfriend Miranda, who had never changed for thousands of years, and other people who dropped by to go back to Texas , such as Austin Blueline, Roger''s uncle.


    But the way Roger entertained everyone was too��


    In the airport, in front of everyone is a plane like a giant dragon entrenched on the ground. The fuselage is painted in red and blue, and the tail is also sprayed with the English word "Browlane".


    An Feng was surprised: "Are you serious? A Boeing airliner?"


    "No, no, no! You''re mistaken, my friend!" Roger naturally pretended to be aggressive, "It''s not a passenger plane, it''s a variant of the Boeing 777-VIP business jet. It looks the same, but the inside is customized. Come on Let''s go! Let you see the palace in the air of the Brulen family!"


    To get on this kind of plane, you must have a ladder car. The ladder car sets up the stairs to connect the cabin door, and there is a red carpet, just like the last time An Feng visited China... Saobao Luojie walked in the front wearing sunglasses, and then turned sideways Standing aside, he made a gesture of invitation to everyone: "Ladies first!"


    Ladies go up, he is in charge of the rear.


    Walking into the plane, everyone''s eyes were opened.


    If an ordinary business jet is to move a mansion into the sky, then this guy is to move the presidential suite, office, bar and dance hall into the sky, with a magnificent design, majestic atmosphere, divided into multiple areas, and a group of people in uniform, Stewardess always smiling.


    Roger introduced: "The original 777 can seat three or four hundred people, but now after the renovation, it is only designed to have 50 seats, and everything is mainly for high-end enjoyment. It can be said that there are presidential suites, and here is almost the same. Look at the presidential suite. You can��t reach the white clouds under your feet, but here you can!��


    Everyone visited from the nose to the end, it is indeed amazing, there is even a small swimming pool, which can accommodate three or five people to play in the water, but it is not very practical, or it is more appropriate to say that it is a bath. After the visit, An Feng pulled him and asked, "Can I ask how much it cost?"


    Roger said straightforwardly: "From ordering the green leather machine (bare machine) to the cost of interior and exterior decoration, the total cost is more than 300 million US dollars."


    "It''s not bad." An Feng said.


    Everyone automatically stay away, now it is a duel between two local tyrants.


    Roger said with a smile: "Of course, in front of you, a super rich man, what are these things? I heard that you booked the largest cruise ship in the world?"


    An Feng nodded: "Let''s go into the water in about two or three years."


    Roger said: "It''s amazing, remember to notify me when the time comes, I will also participate in the maiden voyage of the largest cruise ship."


    An Feng smiled: "No problem."


    After the visit, everyone sat down in their favorite area and the plane took off. An Feng was still talking about the plane with Roger, and Roger told him: "Actually, Boeing or Airbus have similar customized VIP services. Boeing has 787-VIP and 747-VIP."


    "The biggest one is 747, right?" An Feng said.


    "Of course, four engines, with an upper cabin and a convertible lower cargo hold. Among the airliners in service, the Airbus A380 is bigger than it. Are you interested? I happen to know people from Boeing in this regard, so I can give priority to replacing it." You handle it, jump in line in front of everyone else."


    An Feng shook his head: "I have no plans for now. I don''t need such a large space at the moment."


    Roger said: "It is usually used to fly international routes. This time it is also passing by. I will borrow it for everyone to enjoy."


    An Feng has some ideas. He wants to customize a large aircraft, either a 747 or an A380, with multiple layers and multiple modifications... It''s a pity that there are too few ideas in his head now, and he can''t think of what kind of enjoyment he needs. I can only talk about it in the future, maybe Will think of a better solution.


    The journey of more than three hours ended in comfort and enjoyment.


    The plane landed at Austin Airport, a group of eight people, a group of hounds and luggage obviously couldn''t be transferred by helicopter, so renting a car became the first choice. This time, An Feng''s assistant Eve was well prepared, and the car rental company had already prepared what they needed Pickup trucks or SUVs are high-riding vehicles anyway.


    Holiday leisure, everyone is not in a hurry, four cars set off slowly, the front Chevrolet SUV is in charge of leading the way, the driver is Joanna, An Feng is not in the convoy - he is in the sky above his head, obviously there is a big problem when he drives his helicopter out Useful, air hunting is indispensable.


    The convoy slowly drove to the city of Llano, more than 100 kilometers away. There is also an airport there, but the runway is only a little over 1,000 meters. A large aircraft like the 777 needs a runway of 2,000 meters, and there are no landing conditions. The 747 has higher requirements. rice. It is still convenient for a light aircraft, and it can land safely within a kilometer.


    Not in a hurry, I arrived at Danglano City leisurely all the way. It is said that the city is actually very small. There are no large hotels, but there are many motels. Go to camp, let the ladies house, let''s camp."


    Everyone heard that the purpose of hunting is to enjoy the wild environment. If you deliberately emphasize staying in a five-star hotel, it would be too hypocritical and lose the fun. After living in the big city for a long time, everyone has the interest of returning to the wild forest for a short time. When Roger said it, everyone hit it off.


    After discussing, he turned around and drove towards Buchanandan. An Feng had already arrived at his destination and was playing with his mobile phone outside the gun shop. After receiving a call from Wang Le, he asked Mike about some tents in the gun shop. He said There is enough stock to handle them all.


    An Feng felt relieved when he heard this.


    Twenty minutes later when everyone arrived, An Feng also showed off his army-painted HMMWV. The machine gun mounted on the roof had not been removed, so he rushed forward domineeringly and acted as a role model for everyone. Leading the way party. Climb up the dirt slope, through the jungle, and drive to the wooden house on the river bank.


    It also takes some time to cross the hunting ground. When we reach the plains, the field of vision really widens. Everyone slows down to take pictures. While An Feng is waiting, he drives into the grass to experience the destructive power of military vehicles. Nothing happened, but people''s **** suffered.


    Stopped in front of the wooden house. There were only three rooms in the house. There were four ladies at the scene. Fortunately, everyone was familiar with each other. Henry''s girlfriend Lucy and Lisa were together, and they chose the largest room to live in. After putting down the luggage, everyone took a rest and discussed the next activity plan.


    After all, everyone��s eyes were focused on HMMWV, and the itchy hands couldn��t help but want to play a game, and then the discussion turned into a game of playing military vehicles outside the house. Roger, who is familiar with firearms, couldn��t help pointing his machine gun at the water. A few bullets were fired, and the movement made the surrounding shepherd dogs bark non-stop.


    An Feng saw that everyone was not tired at all, so he greeted: "Stop quarreling with my cattle and sheep here! Come with me to the gun shop and play big guys!"


    Henry jumped out of the driver''s seat and said, "It''s overdue."


    Wang Le smiled: "Be careful to stir up public grievances and shoot you down!"


    Putting down the luggage, everyone crossed the forest again, came to "Mike Huoli", and went in for a visit. The four shop assistants came to greet them. Although An Feng invited everyone, they were still very conscious about their consumption. Out of pocket, foreigners are very aware of this.


    Although An Feng doesn''t care about the money, he still respects the customs.


    When everyone was choosing guns and guns and buying ammunition, An Feng checked to see if there were any newcomers in the team. Needless to say, almost all the native Americans had touched guns. I also went to the gun shop to play when I was bored, and my skills were much improved.


    When they all came to the super large open-air shooting range with automatic weapons on their shoulders, a big guy painted in green, black and yellow next to them attracted attention. Undoubtedly, judging by An Feng''s proud expression, this is exactly the US M1 tank he bought for 750,000 last time, a big guy weighing more than 50 tons.


    Wang Le expressed surprise: "Damn! Such a big guy, really amazing!"


    Roger was also very interested: "Is it still open?"


    An Feng used the tone of Mike last time: "Why can''t I buy it if you can''t drive it?"


    "Start it!" Many people conveyed their meaning with their mouths or eyes.


    "Hi! Mike!" An Feng greeted the old Mike, and smiled at the young Mike in the crowd, "Start it, let''s have a high!"


    Old Mike used to be an Army armored soldier and could drive this thing. I saw him easily climbed up, got into the cockpit, and greeted everyone: "Come on!"


    An Feng said to everyone: "Climb up and experience it for yourself?"


    Naturally, everyone does not object, and even ladies are very interested. When I came to the side of the tank, I realized how huge this guy was, and it was not easy to climb up like Mike. They each found a foothold, propped themselves up with different postures, and then turned to pull the lady.


    After everyone is in position, the tank is already full of people, and everyone is still carrying guns. This formation is a bit like an African warlord who has confiscated the spoils.


    An Feng and Joanna sat on the turret with a wide view. He greeted Mike, whose head was peeped out from the cockpit: "It''s time to start! Flatten all obstacles ahead!"


    "Hurry up! Everyone!" Mike said loudly. The M1 tank started, and there was a low roar, and it started slowly. The feeling of shaking when standing on the turret was very obvious. An Feng had to sit still and find something to support him. It would be embarrassing to fall.


    M1 has an AGT-1500 gas turbine with a maximum output of 1500 horsepower, which is quiet but powerful. The mass of the tank itself is huge, and it is very spectacular to start. It is rolling forward steadily, and no **** or gravel can do anything to it. Soon its first opponent appears.


    In front were two Honda sedans of unknown age. The windows were full of cracks, and they were obviously scrapped. They were facing the tanks, trying to challenge them, but they were insignificant in front of the big guys. Mike aimed the scrapped car with the track on the right, and said loudly: "Hold on carefully! Don''t fall!"


    When the track on the right side of the tank was slowly rolled up, a certain inclination occurred, and the guys sitting on the right gripped tightly, staring at this wonderful scene: the tank slowly rolled over, and at the same time, the inclination returned to the level, Because its own weight has crushed the car flat.


    Then it was the turn of the second car. The high-horsepower engine allowed the tank to continue to press over the car without a single pause. When everyone looked back, it had turned into a pile of squashed scrap iron, and everyone cheered in unison. Mike turned around in front, came back and used the left track to kill the scrapped car again.


    This time it was more relaxed, and it rushed over almost as if walking on the ground, just like the flattened scrap iron in the scrap yard. Only a few wheels that bounced off proved that it was not scrap iron, but a former car. This effect was so violent that everyone applauded it.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 165： unreliable

    Chapter 165 Unreliable


    I played the heavy-tasting tank crushing car game twice, and finally HMMWV hung a nylon rope behind it to drag away the pile of scrap iron on the ground. Both friends and fellow gunmen who happened to be present at the scene took photos to commemorate it. It is rare even in Texas to witness this violent scene.


    Everyone��s comments are very exciting. Even if you can��t play cannons, you can��t just see such a huge iron coffin in life, let alone experience it.


    After jumping off the tank, Wang Le said, "It would be even better if I could still masturbate!"


    "The U.S. emperor doesn''t give guns to private individuals." An Feng shook his head, looking at the M1 tank that had stopped.


    If you can really have a shot, the excitement is indescribable. It is a pity that it is illegal for private individuals to play guns on private territory. If it is legal, I am afraid that only the state can play on national territory... When everyone jumped out of the tank and went to the shooting range to play, An Feng stopped and his mind was spinning.


    Private can''t play, then the state��obviously, if he plays cannon in the name of the state, can there still be problems? He can''t influence the United States, but there are some that can. Isn''t St. Kitts one of them? They have an army, but their numbers are pitiful, and their defense budget is less than $10 million.


    If he donates a few tanks to the country for free as a benevolent person, the only requirement is to be able to fire a few shots when he is free... This requirement is not too high. At worst, he will be a false job in the army and play guns as himself. Cannon''s Pass, played several times a year.


    If you buy arms in the name of the country, there are basically no restrictions��except for ballistic missiles or certain strategic weapons, even if they are sold, there is nowhere to play. But a few tanks, a few dozen rockets, a transport plane, gunships, fighter jets from the 50s and 60s...should be easy.


    It doesn��t need to be too advanced, advanced means very expensive and needs to be purchased in large quantities. In addition, the country is small, and one shell can be fired directly from the west coast of the country to the east coast... Buy the old model, which is cheap and affordable. Once the shells are loaded, you can fire a few shots, and you will leave after enjoying yourself, leaving behind the halo of a philanthropist.


    The more An Feng thinks about it, the more feasible it becomes. St. Kitts Island has an army, so it naturally needs weapons and equipment, and its budget is limited, so it must be filled by itself, because the commander-in-chief of the army is concurrently held by the prime minister, and San Qi is his good partner! Be an army chief of staff or something, hang up a vacancies, and occasionally come to play.


    "Great idea!" An Feng decided to perfect the idea, and then chatted with San Qi about his life... This time the diplomat will not donate money, but donate tanks and cannons!


    ��


    An Feng didn''t express his thoughts, because there are still many details.


    When he came to the shooting range, he saw that everyone was enjoying themselves with automatic weapons, so he also joined in with itchy hands.


    He chose an extremely sci-fi-looking FN2000 rifle to join in the fun. This is a bullpup rifle made in Belgium. It is fully automatic. When the trigger is pulled, the bullets light up. The 50-meter target on the opposite side is shattered. , but what is needed is a drastic effect.


    Most of the men choose automatic weapons, and it is fun to shoot out all the bullets in a magazine. Considering the physical strength, the ladies use weapons with small recoil. There are exceptions, because the shooting range is equipped with weapon brackets, and some machine guns are fixed. Just pull the trigger and play.


    Roger��s girlfriend Miranda touched a PKM general-purpose machine gun that was set up. The weapons produced by Maozi are very rough. This 7.62mm machine gun doesn��t even have a magazine, so I saw Roger reloading her. The former supermodel is now also armed, wearing protective glasses and earphones, pulling a chair and sitting in front of the machine gun, with his shoulders on the **** of the gun, and starts shooting under Roger''s guidance.


    The movement of the machine gun fire was not trivial. A scrapped car on the opposite side was hit by bullets several times. The surrounding soil was blown up, the smoke filled the air, and the stray bullets whizzed and hit the concrete wall behind, and the cement fragments flew around... Luo Jie fed the ammunition belt, and the bullets decreased rapidly. When the round of shooting stopped, the barrel of the gun was faintly red and smoke was coming out of the muzzle, while the car on the opposite side was already riddled with holes.


    Roger fanned the smell of gunpowder smoke, and said: "If you pour a little gasoline on it, or put a few oil drums around, the shooting will be more exciting!"


    After hearing this, An Feng turned to look for Mike.


    Mike said: "It''s getting late. Tomorrow at noon, a group of gun lovers will come to organize shooting. If you are free, we can organize a shooting feast. Not only machine guns, but also heavy machine guns and grenade launchers. How about the petrol can you mentioned?"


    "Good idea." An Feng nodded, "Then wait for tomorrow''s surprise!"


    Mike said with a smile: "We will prepare, this is a big business in gun shops."


    Of course it��s a big deal. In the game played by Roger��s girlfriend just now, more than 800 bullets were fired in a few minutes.


    When playing guns happily, the time is very short. Before you know it, it is around 4 o''clock in the afternoon. Everyone returns the guns and chooses some outdoor camping supplies in the store, such as moisture-proof pads, water bags and double tents. Listen According to the plans in their respective mouths, some people suggested to be in the mountains, while others suggested to be by the river.


    Wang Le has never camped before, so he has no right to speak, but Roger is very interested: "If you want to play, let''s have a game close to reality. We''d better find a clearing in the dense forest, bring tents, food and hounds, To pass the long night with a bonfire in the company of faithful hounds!"


    An Feng stopped: "Why is it so idealistic? Are you sure it won''t be another scene where you are shivering from the cold and frightened by the sounds of wild beasts?"


    Roger raised the gun in his hand: "What is it for?"


    Experienced Henry suggested: "I think the first time camping is still in the plains, a little closer to the wooden house, and then go deeper after getting familiar with the environment."


    Roger pouted: "No challenge."


    An Feng decided: "Let''s start with the simple ones first. If Roger, you like to live in the deep mountains and wild forests, you can go live after we get to know each other the next day?"


    Roger thought about it, although there was a gap between the plan and the exciting wilderness survival ideal, he still agreed... because he was bored and longed for a few days of primitive life for a rich kid. , I don''t know what will happen.


    The plan on the way back was changed again and again, and finally decided to camp on the "high ground" 50 meters away from the wooden house, because...if the distance is too far, the ingredients are not easy to move here. In order to take care of my growling stomach, this The four realistic slobs compromised one after another.


    The ladies prepare the barbecue ingredients in the house, and roast the beef to medium rare in advance, while the men look for firewood outside and pile them up in a pile.


    Then pour gasoline and set it on fire.


    This is Roger''s bad idea! It rained a few days ago, and the dry firewood I picked up was very damp. After lighting it a few times, it failed. This guy ran to the house and brought a box of 5 liters of gasoline. Light a cigar, then throw the match on the gasoline.


    With a bang, the raging flames ignited, cool is cool, but this guy is unreliable, the gasoline burns more and more, and finally everyone hurriedly draws their salaries, and the result is that the dry firewood is burned into plant ash, and there is no charcoal for the barbecue. Leave a few pieces. Roger sucked on his cigar in embarrassment, his smile froze on his face.


    The same reasoning can be proved. What Roger said about camping in the mountains is unreliable.


    Everyone had no choice but to collect firewood again.


    But Lawrence, who came back from horse herding and grazing cattle, told them that there were piles of dry firewood in the basement, which were stored for heating in winter. The reason why the fireplace in the hall was not lit was because the climate had warmed up recently, and winter was not too cold. Cowboys With rough skin and thick flesh, I dare to swim in the river now...


    After hearing this, everyone looked at each other holding dry firewood.


    Lawrence covered his stomach and laughed non-stop: "Hahaha! You fools!"


    ��


    In the evening, a barbecue party was held, and everyone gathered around the campfire and sat down on cushions. A few hounds around were drooling and looking around, and the pet dog in his arms was restless, taking a bite of the fragrant and oily beef, accompanied by various forms of praise, it was delicious.


    I took a few bites of beef, and then poured a mouthful of hot milk to warm my heart. This is what I should do around a campfire in December.


    The oily Wang Le said to An Feng: "This beef is not fresh enough. Tomorrow we will get a deer as early as possible to taste the real game. What do you think?"


    Before An Feng could speak, Henry said weakly: "Roasted rabbit is also good."


    An Feng couldn''t help laughing, since he and Wang Le pulled this guy into a trap last time, he always thought that a cute rabbit can also be delicious, life is great, death is glory!


    "Look at you." Joanna wiped off the oil from the corners of his mouth with a tissue, "You really decided to sleep here at night? Won''t you move back to the lobby on the first floor?"


    Roger protested: "Don''t shake the morale of the army, my plan has been almost destroyed by you."


    They ate, drank and chatted, and then the ladies stayed to help them set up tents, a total of two double tents, covered with moisture-proof mats, and lit a fire outside that should burn until dawn, and then put on warm clothes, Then spray a circle of strong insect repellent around. In winter nights, there are still many mosquitoes, and there are some annoying reptiles. Insect repellent is almost a must-have item for camping.


    Finally, everyone got into their own sleeping bags. In order to enhance the understanding among friends, Wang Le and Henry were in a group, An Feng and Luo Jie were in a group, and each tent was equipped with two guns and two hounds to lie down safely. After coming down, he talked for a long time, and finally fell asleep in a daze.


    To be honest, camping is very uncomfortable. Whether it is winter or summer, summer is naturally hot. If you live in an area with four distinct seasons, the temperature is low at night, but there are many mosquitoes; in winter, there are not many mosquitoes, but it is very cold, even if you are armed After so much, still being woken up in the middle of the night by freezing.


    After An Feng woke up from the cold, he found that the fire outside had gone out, no wonder it was so cold, and the two hounds beside Pi Pi Dan Dan were all on top of him. He closed his eyes again and squinted for a while, but still couldn''t fall asleep, and felt Roger move beside him, and he quietly got up.


    "Hey!" An Feng uttered.


    "Oh!" Roger covered his heart, "Scared me, didn''t you fall asleep?"


    "Woke up from the cold!" An Feng rolled his eyes, "It''s all your bad idea, luckily we don''t live in the mountains."


    Roger in the dark smiled: "It''s really uncomfortable, why don''t we run back quietly? Anyway, the distance is not far, only fifty meters."


    An Feng had this plan at first, but he felt that he was not very loyal. After Luo Jie mentioned it, he didn''t care about it, so he sneaked up, put on his clothes and returned with the hound, pushed open the door and returned to the house, feeling a sense of warmth Come on, it''s really cool indoors, An Feng and Luo Jie looked at each other and looked for each nest.


    Joanna and Miranda each occupy a room, so their goals are clear. An Feng came to the door and knocked, and after giving a signal, the door opened quietly, and he saw Joanna in a black nightgown appearing in front of him, holding a pistol in the other hand.


    "Hi! It''s me!" An Feng greeted with a smile.


    Joanna also smiled: "Can''t stand it anymore?"


    "It woke me up three times! It''s all because of Roger''s unreliable idea!" An Feng complained, took off his coat, and Joanna took it and hung it behind the door.


    An Feng hugged her: "It''s still comfortable and warm here with you."


    "Come to the bed!" Joanna pulled him into the bed, and said warmly, especially when there was a soft and delicate body in her arms.


    After a comfortable night''s sleep until the next day, I felt guilty after waking up. I felt that it was a bit embarrassing to abandon my teammates like this, so I put on my clothes, kissed the sleeping Joanna on the forehead, quietly got out of bed and left, and walked out just in time Meet Roger who also has this plan.


    "Let''s go, before they wake up!" Roger said guilty.


    The two of them went downstairs, and happened to see one person lying on each side of the sofa in the living room, waking up leisurely. They were exactly Wang Le and Henry who were also frozen into a two-parter last night. Because their women slept together, they couldn''t enjoy a separate room and big bed... In short, the two groups met in the living room.


    "You?" The two sides faced each other, eye to eye.


    "Traitor!" Wang Le jumped up and shouted.


    An Feng blushed, but reacted quickly, and pointed at him: "Didn''t you also come to call us? You two traitors!"


    Looking at each other, everyone couldn''t help laughing. Wang Le sat down and greeted everyone: "Sit down, you really suffered last night!"


    An Feng leaned back on the sofa and put his feet on the table: "It''s all Luo Jie''s bad idea."


    Roger had nothing to say this time, and faced reality: "I''m sorry everyone! In order to express my apologies, this afternoon''s feast of weapons is my treat!"


    Everyone agreed with both hands, feeling that Roger was about to enter the pit.

    PS: Whether St. Kitts and Nevis has an army is currently...unknown. The country is too small, and the information in hand is ten years ago. I heard that there is an OECS among the Eastern Caribbean member states, and there is a common peacekeeping force, but in the novel, for entertainment, St. Kitts is set to have an army... because no one can stop the local tyrants Play cannon.

 Chapter 166： shooting feast

    Chapter 166 Shooting Feast


    (492 votes plus updates...Three updates today, please recommend tickets!)


    ��


    In the morning, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention camping.


    These people were spoiled by the weather last night. The temperature difference between day and night in Texas is huge, and it��s December. Maybe the sun is okay at noon, but it��s strange if they don��t wake up from the cold when they sleep until midnight. Luo Jie and An Feng were smarter, got up in the middle of the night and followed the scent to their own women''s bed.


    After breakfast and a short rest, I drove to the gun shop. The plan is to take advantage of the free time in the morning to hunt wild game. This time, we require enough deer to feed ten people for a few days, and there is also rabbit meat that the wild game army asked for as an extra meal... When I took a shortcut to the gun shop, I found that they were not the first of.


    Other gun mates arrived, wearing uniform jackets emblazoned with the association logo. It is probably the shooting activity of the Gunners Association that Mike mentioned yesterday. At least six cars were parked in the parking lot, and there were men and women who got out. It was still 9:30 in the morning, and the activity was said to start at noon.


    Old Mike also found An Feng, and walked over: "You guys are so early!"


    An Feng looked at the people at the scene: "It''s so lively, why are there so many people?"


    Old Mike smiled: "It''s a coincidence that this is a Christmas shooting event organized by everyone. Taking advantage of everyone''s holiday and free time, it is a regional custom. It used to be held at other shooting ranges, but this time we have a large enough venue. There are also the attraction of those big guys, so let��s go here.��


    An Feng looked at an M1 tank and three HMMWVs parked on the green space next to them. Some staff members had already mounted machine guns on them, and it was estimated that they could also participate in interactive projects. But this is not enough, and someone actually moved out an M134 Minigun.


    "Wow! Look at that guy!" As soon as An Feng saw it, he walked over automatically.


    When I came to the black six-barreled machine gun, I found that the size was not too big, it should be a small caliber, Mike explained: "It is a new purchase in the gun shop, 7.62mm caliber, airborne or vehicle-mounted, the rate of fire is controlled at a per minute 3,500 rounds. There are two of them, and the other one will be installed on the helicopter."


    An Feng became excited when he heard it: "Helicopter? Playing aerial shooting?"


    Old Mike smiled and nodded: "Exactly! This is an idea I came up with recently. The Shooting Sports Foundation provides a modified transport-type Bell 205 helicopter. If the space is spacious enough, you can install an M134 with a fixed bracket. Realize ground fire attack."


    Bell 205 has a good reputation. The military model participated in the Vietnam War. The most classic is the six-barreled machine gun mounted on both sides to shoot at the ground. I am afraid it is still the predecessor of the Black Hawk. The civilian model is not much different from the military model. Although there are no special welding hardpoints, the cabin can be modified because it is spacious.


    An Feng turned around and said to everyone: "Shall we stay and visit?"


    Everyone agreed that the plan to go hunting just now was forgotten, and these big guys on display were too attractive, even women were not immune. The event is expected to start at noon. An Feng will take a tour first, or go to help out and place some firearms.


    There are a lot of firearms brought out, such as the M2HB heavy machine gun with a tripod, the M249, or the classic MG74, among the RPD, and there are also many sniper rifles, such as the 12.7mm Barrett M82A1, McMillan TAC-50 , or the precise Steyr SSG69, PSG-1 and so on.


    To be able to buy so many things, An Feng''s investment is the key. In addition to the initial one million, he also signed a check for two million later, and the money was spent here.


    All the weapons are placed in a row, facing the shooting range at a distance of up to 500 meters.


    The shooting range is currently prohibited. There are staff members who are towing the car to the designated location, and there are some oil barrels to add fun.


    Mike pointed to the oil barrel 200 meters away and said, "This distance is a bit far. Consider shortening it a little bit so that everyone can use grenade launchers."


    An Feng asked: "A bottom-mounted M203?"


    Mike nodded: "That''s it, we put the grenade under the M4 assault rifle."


    An Feng praised: "Your idea is really great!"


    ��


    The countdown to the shooting activity was in everyone''s anticipation, and there were more and more people. This time, it was not only before Christmas, but also on the weekend. Residents nearby also came to join in the fun after hearing the news. At least 30 people from the Gunners Association were present. One by one wearing a uniform jacket and taking pictures to commemorate.


    When noon approached, the layout of the venue was almost done. Except that the helicopter came a little late, several guys in the gun shop had already changed into professional clothes. The red color was very conspicuous. Maintain order in the scene.


    Everyone chooses their own weapons. An Feng and his group specially choose powerful guys, such as the M2HB machine gun with a tripod. Leisurely chat while firing.


    Roger said earlier that he is responsible for today''s consumption.


    So everyone is not polite to him, the two super rich people on the scene are him and An Feng, who is not going to cheat him?


    Everyone took their positions, and after wearing earphones with communication functions, everyone was holding heavy weapons, sitting or lying on their stomachs. Following the order of the old Mike, at least forty weapons fired at the opposite hillside and cars at the same time. The sound, the sound of the assault rifle and the sound of the sniper rifle are connected together.


    This opening remark is a hundred times more effective than any speech. The overwhelming sound of gunfire is deafening and resounds through the sky. You can feel its power even if you wear headphones. The explosion ignited a flame several meters high, and thick black smoke rose from the car doused with gasoline... In this scene, I thought I had traveled to the battlefield.


    The scene of the roaring guns lasted for more than a minute. After the ceasefire, the targets on the opposite side were already on fire to varying degrees, and the land that received the bullets was plowed again. The shooters who were shooting on the spot were hooked, shared the video with everyone, and cheered for their hit record.


    Next is the free fire time. The firearms are completely open. You can choose your favorite weapon, buy bullets and play a few shuttles, or find some rare weapons, such as the classic German MG42 machine gun. Rent it for ten minutes to pose for a photo. Take it to the field and enjoy shooting.


    Playing with guns is not only a matter for men, but other women who join the battle group are also a unique sight. Joanna is one of them. She is wearing simple, blue jeans with showy legs, and is lying on the ground holding an M14-EBR rifle. Shooting, the straight long legs are eye-catching.


    An Feng sat beside her, recorded some hits for her, and had a great time playing.


    Looking at the others, Roger was playing hard, holding an M4 with a grenade launcher attached to it and firing at a distance. The grenade that flew out in a parabola exploded next to the oil drum fifty meters away, and missed. He reloads the grenade. A 20mm grenade costs $20, which is no pressure for a local tyrant like him.


    But the highlight is still the two Miniguns.


    One of them is being installed on the helicopter, and it may take some time, but the other one has been installed on the roof of the HMMWV, waiting for your arrival. An Feng took advantage of the privilege of the boss, shamelessly inserted in the front, and listened to the introduction of a guy in the gun shop, mainly about the price.


    Like this 7.62mm caliber Minigun, each bullet is $1.50, and the rate of fire is 3500 rounds per minute. That is to say, you need to pay 1.5��3500=5250 dollars for one minute of shooting, and it will disappear in one minute. 32,000 RMB! Playing with cars, playing with watches, buying famous brands, showing off wealth, etc. are weak, and when I go out, I will tell people that I played Mini Hills for ten minutes today.


    One minute of playing with this guy costs an ordinary couple a month''s salary, but An Feng resolutely got into the car and took the gunner''s seat. As a boss, you definitely don''t need to count the money, but now it''s Roger''s treat, so you can cheat as much as you can. An Feng was also considered loyal, and gave him a discount, one dollar a time.


    He grabbed the handle of the gun with both hands, and pressed the shooting button with two thumbs at the same time. After the barrel idling, a dense "buzzing" sound sounded like a mosquito. It fired so fast that it could shoot 58 shots in almost a second. Bullets and rain are not enough to describe the density of bullets. The land on the opposite side seemed to be on fire, and was swept by the faintly visible "line of fire", and the car that was swept was almost thrown into the air!


    An Feng retreated after playing for five minutes. The shell casings thrown out beside him were already piled up all over the floor, and the golden glitter was particularly dazzling. He paused twice in five minutes. To cool the machine gun, it consumed more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition, which cost more than 20,000 US dollars, or more than 10,000 dollars in conversion.


    Roger, who was having a good time, did not expect that his wallet would be empty within a few minutes.


    An Feng also climbed onto the helicopter to experience the thrill of shooting in the air again. Because tracer bullets are added to the bullets, one tracer bullet is added to every thirty rounds of bullets, which means... when the helicopter hovers in the air, An Feng turns the muzzle to shoot downwards , actually hit a clearly visible red curve.


    This is what the tracer does, correcting the trajectory for the machine gun shooter. And Minigun��s rate of fire is too high, every thirty rounds of tracer bullets can fire two rounds in almost one second, which naturally has a very visual effect. It feels like God is holding a paintbrush to paint on the ground. , none were spared.


    An Feng opened fire and plowed the ground again, smashing the scrapped cars on the road to pieces, and finally returned with smoke from the barrel. After a rough calculation, there were no more than 10,000 rounds of bullets... Each of the eight people in the back had a good time in the air and on the ground. Bundle. Calculated according to the normal price, Roger estimated that he would have to pay more than a hundred thousand, but An Feng gave a discount of one dollar per bullet, so this time he didn''t see 80,000 just for playing Minigun.


    Roger was also straightforward, and filled out a check for 100,000 dollars for 80,000 US dollars plus 20,000 for other weapons, and An Feng handed it over to Mike as business income. In fact, the purchase cost of bullets in Minigun is 0.5 US dollars, so even if it is discounted, the gun store will double its profit this time.


    Even more because of this fierce strafing behavior, it also made other army fans salivate. Fire yourself and experience the thrill of destroying all obstacles in front of you with bullets. It''s worth it!


    After playing enough, there are still military fans coming to the shooting range. I heard that the nearby residents heard the news and came to watch the fun. Seeing so many gun lovers gathered together, I couldn��t help but show off their hands and buy some bullets for fun... Ann After Feng walked around, he found that everyone was very involved in the game and spoke highly of the venue.


    He came to Mike, who was also wearing a red jacket, with two pistols on his body, and was communicating with other people with a walkie-talkie in his hand.


    Mike asked: "How did you play?"


    "Very good!" An Feng sat down and said, "Have you considered holding it in the future?"


    Mike said: "As long as there are conditions and the cost can be maintained, then naturally there is no problem."


    An Feng suggested: "Why don''t we expand it a little bit and carry out some proper publicity, but around Lano County, in Texas, or in the west? Every year before the Christmas holiday, we hold a shooting feast for gun fans. , invite everyone to come and participate?"

 Chapter 167： endless trenches

    Chapter 167 The Trench is Endless


    Mike listened and said: "It''s a good idea. There is a natural open space here, and it''s private land. No one will take care of how you remodel it. The cost of land maintenance is almost zero, but other costs will be high. Like this An event may not necessarily be profitable in the end.��


    An Feng didn''t care: "I don''t care how much profit it is, as long as it can maintain the cost of operation, I think this kind of folk weapon shooting activity is very exciting, everyone participates together and can exchange experiences with each other. Holding an event is not profitable, but it can earn fame Bar?"


    Mike said with a smile: "I found that you are really a pure military fan."


    An Feng asked: "So you can handle it?"


    "Why not?" Mike asked back, "As long as you are willing to invest, I have a lot of ways to let more people know that there will be a shooting exhibition in winter through the relationship of friends or the promotion of the association, so that everyone can gather together." Together, enjoy a smoky afternoon."


    An Feng bumped fists with him: "Deal."


    An Feng didn''t have any complicated ideas. He just thought it would be fun for a group of people to play with guns. Three million is just for fun.


    There are wealthy people who are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to change their status as members of the Jockey Club, and they don��t participate several times a year, just to try to be high-end and show their attitude towards life; while An Feng also spends several million to hold a shooting exhibition every year, just Take a lively picture and let everyone know how the rich spend their leisure time.


    That night they took out what they had photographed or recorded. When An Feng participated in the aerial shooting, he put on a tactical helmet and mounted a camera to record the hottest scene of the aerial shooting. He uploaded the video to Youtube that night and shared it with netizens.


    At the same time, there are also some meager updates in China, earning a few fans.


    After discussing the details with Mike, the scale of the shooting range in the backyard of the gun shop can be expanded, because it is close to the reservoir, the hunting ground is on the other side, and the coastal plain is far away, forming an idle woodland. It is better to develop it and build a Larger open-air shooting range.


    Going further, the shooting range is large, and it can also provide convenience for aerial shooting. Although it is fun today, the plane always turns around in one place, which is not exciting enough. Also, build an off-road lane around it, specially for off-road vehicles, military vehicles or tanks to run around the field. It is not necessary to play with guns at the shooting range. It can be developed in multiple ways. It is also very creative to shoot at the targets on the field while driving.


    An Feng has a lot of ideas, and gradually develops this land into a private land that integrates a private arsenal, a hunting ground, and a leisure resort. If you have nothing to do, you can fly here, hunt, play with guns, and enjoy a few days of rural life. Just relax. Isn''t this the back garden?


    ��


    Dinner was still beef in the refrigerator. After the meal, no one mentioned camping anymore, and they all stayed in the house obediently. The four men sat around the sofa and played cards until late at night. The floor is laid on the ground, anyway, there is heating in the house, and it is too hot to cover with a blanket in winter.


    The next day, everyone went to the gun shop to pick up their favorite weapons, and then officially entered the mountain.


    This time I spent a whole day enjoying the jungle hunting life. Except for the gun shop and the river bank plain, the other areas of the hunting ground are mountains and forests, which are not steep, but the trees are dense, there is no road, and you can only step out step by step. The view is not spacious. Hunting requires great skill.


    Five hounds acted together, and four hunters participated. The ladies were not interested in going into the mountains. Obviously, they were too tired from playing yesterday, and they had temporarily lost their affection for firearms. Moreover, hunting required patience and physical strength. Even Joanna It''s too tiring, let alone other women.


    Stopped and walked, wandered around in the dense woods, maybe the animals were hibernating, and I didn''t see much activity. From one end of the forest to the other, don''t underestimate the distance of seven or eight kilometers. It takes a whole morning to walk on a mountain road. But there are more components to play, and I don��t feel tired.


    Empty hands, but the hound contributed a few rabbits on the way.


    Everyone stopped and adjusted, and continued to act in the afternoon. The king paid off, and finally found a herd of deer on the edge of the hunting ground. There were a lot of them. Some were crossing the road recklessly, and some were still standing in the middle of the road. Traffic accidents usually come like this.


    "Look for the target!" An Feng said, relying on Shuping to hold the gun. The surrounding weeds are too dense, and it is obvious that there is no shooting range when squatting down.


    Waiting for everyone to get ready, An Feng''s focus rested on one of the deer. It has more than a dozen forked horns on its head, which is extremely rare. The deer''s head can be used as a decorative specimen.


    Just as he was holding his breath and concentrating, and was about to shoot down this top-quality product with a single shot, there was a "bang" and someone fired first! The sound of gunfire resounded through the sky, startling the herd of deer, and the prey in the scope reflexively jumped away. Before An Feng could shoot, the prey was gone.


    He realized that he had made a mistake. The four of them obviously couldn''t fire in succession. As long as one of them fired, the others would basically lose their target. This time, Wang Le was the first to fire. This guy''s marksmanship is average, so the target is simple: a small deer with five forks.


    Henry put away his gun and said, "Outside is the plain, you can still chase it!"


    After he finished speaking, he urged the hounds to catch up. Everyone was taken aback, and immediately reacted, holding their guns and chasing after him.


    The herd of deer was running in panic, and there was a group of hounds chasing after them. The dogs kept barking one after another. The deer herd split into two parts. One part fled along the road and quickly disappeared to the other side of the woods; the other part crossed the road, Run wildly along the flat ground.


    They chased the herd of deer crossing the road. There were no tree obstacles around them, and the field of vision was extremely wide. The distance was no more than 300 meters, and the sniper rifle could fight.


    Just as each squatted down to find the target, Henry reminded: "Don''t fire! That''s private territory!"


    An Feng hurriedly shouted at the hound: "Come back!"


    "Shit!" Roger cursed, "I''ve been staring at it for a long time, a dozen forks! They ran away!"


    An Feng also sighed: "Mine too!"


    Wang Le comforted: "At least we can still get a deer."


    Everyone looked back at Wang Le, who was a little proud. There was no way, he killed the deer.


    An Feng''s mouth was full of sourness: "Shit luck!"


    Wang Le smiled: "Haha!"


    "Let''s go up and have a look." Roger suggested, apparently still unwilling.


    Everyone followed and walked along the road for a while. Opposite was a large piece of flat land and a wide river. The deer had already run to the river. They must have been active around the river. Occasionally, they would come to Anfeng. Explore the jungle, but not too far from the water.


    Henry looked into the distance: "That location is really good. Where there is grass and water, there are not only deer herds, but also many other wild animals."


    An Feng pondered: "Can you discuss with the land owner and let us shoot a deer?"


    Roger shook his head: "The owners of these private lands in Texas have very strange tempers, some are very straightforward, and some are completely ignorant of people. And the two deer we fancy have so many branches, they are always the best choice for collectors , even if there is, it will not be given to us."


    An Feng was depressed: "I don''t want people to hunt properly..."


    Henry looked around: "It seems that there is no one on the other side."


    Roger reminded him: "Don''t think about it! The laws here are different from California. If you trespass on private land and hold a gun, you deserve to be killed."


    An Feng said casually: "Can''t we just buy that piece of land?"


    Roger smiled and said, "Of course, as long as the price you offer satisfies the other party, it shouldn''t be too difficult for you."


    An Feng shrugged and called the hound back: "Let''s take the prey back first. The herd of deer is on the opposite side. We won''t be able to get through."


    ��


    When they were trying to figure out how to peel off the deerskin, An Feng told Lawrence, the manager of the ranch, what happened just now, to vent his depression, and asked whose territory it was and whether he was good at speaking, but Lawrence said: "I don''t know who owns that piece of land, but it has been idle for a long time. It was put up for sale recently, and several surrounding pieces of land are being sold due to the severe drought this year."


    When An Feng heard it, he felt that the sky was beautiful.


    He used his laptop to surf the Internet and searched the information on the surrounding land on the professional website. Sure enough, there was information on the sale of this area. The area varied from large to small. The most important point was that due to the remote location, although the land was flat, it was not fertile. , the farmland can''t be done, only some trees can be planted or grazing.


    Therefore, its price is very cheap, not at all the sky-high price of Anfeng''s current land.


    After all, it can only be planted with trees or used as a pasture. Unlike here in Anfeng, a little modification can be used for residential land, agricultural land, and natural pasture land. Therefore, thousands of acres cost tens of millions of dollars... He pulled the map to look, crossed the canal and then Outside, there is a mountain forest, and there is also sales information. Since the mountain area can''t do anything and is cheaper, it is said that the only one can only be used as a hunting ground, and other uses are difficult to use.


    An Feng added up several pieces of land for sale, totaling more than 20,000 acres, with a total price of more than 30 million. There is also a large piece of flat land, even if it is to build an airport, there is no problem. The longest area is more than ten kilometers , the shortest is about 300 meters, which can be connected to my side.


    I regret why I didn''t look at the ones over there, but I thought about it carefully. I asked for it to be close to the city, because the gun shop should be built on the side of the road, and there must be beautiful natural scenery. These lands obviously do not meet the three conditions. If it fits, it''s strange not to be ruled out.


    It��s different now. These pieces of land can be connected together as a coherent private territory. One piece can be used for leisure, the other can be used as a hunting ground or ranch, and then an airport can be built. In the future, your own plane can be parked directly. Wouldn''t it be much more convenient here?


    After thinking about it, he drove the helicopter to go around the land for sale.


    The conditions are naturally not as good as those on the south bank of the reservoir, but the land is considered flat, with occasional forests and wild animals inhabiting the bottom. Due to the long-term unused, there is a section of good-growing grass along the river. Flying farther away, it gradually becomes high and low. Undulating mountains, low altitude, but it is not easy to use commercially.


    It is fifteen kilometers away from the farthest point of my existing hunting ground. It is a very spectacular distance. As a hunting ground, it must be very luxurious. An Feng looked back and forth a few times and felt good in his heart. In addition to the reserved funds, there are more than 100 million blanks.


    In addition, the 50 million that will be bid for land in Santa Barbara next year will be deducted, which is still a lot. You can spend another 30 million to buy the surrounding land at one go, become a big landlord, and build an airstrip as a Use the private airport to facilitate your own round-trip travel.


    As long as it is fun to play, An Feng decided to do it.

 Chapter 168： Visit [three more]

    Chapter 168 Visit��Third watch��


    The cause of the incident was the lack of a few deer.


    Being able to see but not move is obviously not what An Feng wants, so he spent a lot of money to buy the land opposite. Now I can fight, right?


    This kind of thinking is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. But An Feng not only thought about it, but also did it. The next day, he called his assistant Eve and asked her to buy the first piece of land for him, which was the piece of land that he couldn''t catch up with yesterday. The other three lands can be negotiated slowly, and the price can be lowered.


    After 4 million landed across the road, An Feng drove the helicopter to hunt deer. Roger and Henry sat in the back seat. They were looking for some memorable trophies today. The frightened deer under the plane were not theirs. The goal is to find more than a dozen bifurcated top grades.


    An Feng''s flying skills are so-so, and his reaction is a little slow. Several times when he encountered a good target, he missed the bullet because he didn''t control the stability of the aircraft, but they had a lot of time. The herd of deer ran below on four legs, and they flew in the sky. No matter how fierce they were, they couldn''t escape.


    After more than two hours of fuss, rushing from one end to the other, Roger finally shot down a dead deer that satisfied him. Ten minutes later, Henry also finished his prey, and then An Feng called for backup and let Wang Le drive away. The off-road vehicle came, and four people worked together to carry the two deer into the vehicle.


    An Feng wrote some more shooting records, and posted two hunting tickets on it. The process was to drive them away by helicopter, and then fire two shots to get it done. You can come as you please. With so many dead deer, who cares?


    In a way, the two deer cost two million��because it cost four million to buy the land, and in the end, An Feng flew the plane and took his friends to hunt the two deer... so their value is far from ordinary deer can be compared. They were almost gilded stags.


    That night, everyone cooked a venison feast, and invited the guys from the cowboy and gun shop. Everyone shared the food, ate the meat, and gorged themselves. The four million ate enough to fill their stomachs, and even the five full-fledged hounds around them After losing the desire to eat, he stopped contentedly.


    Another day passed.


    An Feng finally bought all the land at a cost of 30 million. The private territory has been expanded again, and the combined area of ??several lands has reached 30,000 acres, which is equivalent to 120 square kilometers. If it is compared to a square, its side length is 11 kilometers, but several lands are irregular shapes, with a maximum length of 21 kilometers. km, and 6 km at its widest point.


    Now he can proudly declare: Man can no longer stop me from hunting.


    In addition, he also plans to build an airport on the open land on the other side of the canal��strictly speaking, it is just a runway plus two hangars. It is a private airport, and it is not put into commercial operation. It is obviously a pain in the **** to build a waiting hall! But the runway has to be 3.5 kilometers long.


    The reason is naturally to facilitate the landing of large aircraft in the future.


    But the cost of building only one airport runway and two hangars is not simple. It is estimated that a 3,500-meter runway will cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Even if it is a little simpler, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Capital, he can''t make it casually.


    He did the calculations and found that his American account was almost empty, with more than 70 million yuan left. Next year, he will need at least 40 million yuan to buy land, which means that 30 million yuan will take half a year.


    I thought I had a lot of money at first, but until now, it��s still not enough.


    His offshore account still has 600 million yuan, but it is easy to say for business, but it is not convenient for private use in the United States. After careful consideration, I still feel that it is necessary for the research center to earn some extra money for myself. In terms of rapid treatment of cancer, it is easy to contribute several million for each case.


    After staying in the hunting ground for a few days, I had enough fun, and then retreated.


    At the Austin airport, everyone went their separate ways. Henry and his girlfriend were obviously going back to California. Wang Le heard that he planned to bring his girl back to China.


    An Feng pulled him aside: "It''s progressing very fast, are you going to meet your parents?"


    Wang Le curled his lips: "What''s so strange, you kid hugged a foreign wife all day long, so brother can''t go this way? I''m not too old anymore, it''s time to think about personal issues, Lisa and I get along very well, He is not a pure foreigner, so he can easily pass the test with my parents."


    "Congratulations in advance!" An Feng said with a smile.


    "We have to prepare a big red envelope from now on." Wang Le reminded.


    "No problem, I guarantee your satisfaction!" An Feng shook hands with him and hugged.


    The four of them boarded the business jet called by An Feng and left. Obviously, it was troublesome for pet dogs to go to civil aviation. For convenience, An Feng directly called a private jet.


    Roger and his girlfriend are left.


    I thought that his kind of flamboyant should be accustomed to the life of feasting and feasting in the city, but he never expected that when he integrated into the rural life, he would have a decent appearance, except that he was a little unreliable.


    Roger also hugged him: "It is estimated that our family will visit Sinclair in a few days. Goodbye."


    Saying goodbye to them, An Feng drove away from Austin to San Antonio. Naturally, this plan had the intention of visiting Mrs. Sinclair. As Christmas approached, she had already invited them. As for cancer treatment, An Feng also had to explain some details.


    San Antonio is more than 100 kilometers away from Austin, and the highway is very convenient. After arriving there, they stayed temporarily, because Joanna would definitely not allow herself to go to the meeting in casual clothes, so An Feng had to accompany her to go shopping in the local shopping mall first. San Antonio is not small, the second largest city in Texas, with a wide choice of luxury goods. After walking around, she lost her cowgirl attire and became a noble lady again.


    The rented car was returned locally, and the special car sent by Sinclair picked them up. They traveled comfortably all the way to Medina County, and drove into the old lady''s English-style manor away from the hustle and bustle. The conventions were warmly and rigorously received, and An Feng had gotten used to these rules under the influence of Joanna.


    Because of the festival, the old lady''s children were all there, two sons, one daughter, and their own children, three generations under the same roof, very lively. Madam personally introduced them to let the two parties exchange feelings, after all, we are relatives. Then go back to the room specially reserved for them.


    Enjoyed a traditional dinner that night, eating, drinking and chatting for four hours, which is about to surpass the French custom of eating for an afternoon. But the atmosphere is still very good, everyone is very chatty. Matthew also played the role of adjusting the atmosphere and increasing the laughter of everyone.


    The next day, the young masters and ladies went for a leisure ride, and An Feng sat with several elders.


    The discussion is naturally about healing.


    Ms. Sinclair looked at An Feng: "I decided to receive treatment from the research center after the New Year. I will be the first paid customized patient. Can I handle it?"


    An Feng nodded: "It can be arranged, there are not too many things at present."


    Bazel has doubts: "Is it safe so fast?"


    Before An Feng could speak, the old lady was dissatisfied: "If you make a decision, let God bless you, and then go against it, can fate still be in your hands?"


    Everyone was embarrassed, An Feng smiled and said: "No problem, there are already three examples that fully confirm the correctness of the theory and experiment, even if Madam doesn''t do the first one, someone else will try. At present, the research center has received requests from people from all walks of life. Inquiry, obviously they all have intentions."


    Bazel asked: "Is the success rate high?"


    An Feng said: "It is almost impossible to make a mistake, otherwise I will mount the horse myself, which is more secure."


    An Feng personally made everyone feel at ease. Everyone here already knows that the research is basically driven by him. If he is in charge, it is equivalent to adding several layers of insurance. ��As we talked about things, we turned around to profit.


    Matthew has his plan: "I will be in charge of the pharmaceutical company. The plan is to establish or acquire a pharmaceutical factory with perfect conditions, and let his own people serve as the top management. As for the proportion of holdings, it depends on Bruce''s intentions, but I suggest exchanging shares. Set aside the funds."


    An Feng asked: "Is it from the energy company?"


    Matthew nodded: "Of course, if you like the shares of Western Investment, we also welcome it."


    An Feng said: "Come out with a few more plans, so that I can have more references."


    "No problem." Matthew said.


    An Feng of Xin''s Energy has learned that the annual turnover of energy is 100 billion, and the net profit of energy is more than 10 billion. Because it is not a listed company, its value is difficult to estimate, but a piece of oil is worth 100 billion US dollars, and then consider It is certain that the value of other companies invested in behind it is hundreds of billions.


    There is also the Western Investment Group, which is the most expensive company in the family. It once spent hundreds of billions to acquire listed companies. It has made good profits in recent years and is estimated to be worth hundreds of billions... If you use the shares of pharmaceutical factories In other words, it is obviously more able to promote cooperation.


    Or you can refer to other plans. The proportion of shares in the research center remains the same, but the shares in the pharmaceutical factory are equally divided, and Sinclair will provide him with a sum of money... Recently, he has spent too much money. Before, he couldn''t figure out how to use up the rich man''s money. Now I live this kind of life myself, but feel that it is not enough.

 Chapter 169： London real estate

    Chapter 169 London Estate


    Spent a few days of leisure in Sinclair''s manor. In addition to business cooperation, every day was the "British life" on American soil. Everyone dressed up, rode horses, chased and hunted. After several members of the Blueline family visited, it added fuel to the flames. For several nights in a row, there were either banquets or dances. It was a luxurious and colorful scene of singing and dancing, and the real luxury life of the upper class was staged.


    After playing for several days, An Feng and Joanna said goodbye.


    The second day after returning to California, An Feng talked about his previous thoughts with Prime Minister Sanqi who was far away in China and the United States.


    As the commander-in-chief of the army, although his men are a little...fewer, he still has the courage: "Do you want to donate some army equipment and play by yourself?"


    An Feng corrected him: "Your Excellency, you are wrong. My main purpose is to enhance national defense strength, and then my personal needs. I also think that proper military training and consumption of ammunition are important for maintaining peace and stability in the Eastern Caribbean region." , can play a very good role in promoting.��


    After listening to what An Feng said, San Qi responded: "If you are willing to donate for free, the government will certainly not refuse, but on the issue of use, I don''t quite understand what form you want to make. I just Say, it''s not appropriate if you make too much noise."


    Sang Qi is very careful when speaking, because An Feng is now their sponsor and is expected to contribute several million dollars every year, so he has to be careful with his tone.


    After hearing this, An Feng assured him: "Don''t worry, Your Excellency, I''m just a pure gun enthusiast. I enjoy it occasionally, and I will definitely use it in military areas. Isn''t the middle part of St. Kitts Island uninhabited? I think Our country''s army can train there."


    Sang Qi added: "But actual combat training requires some expenses..."


    An Feng said: "If I participate, I will bear it, okay?"


    Sang Qi smiled: "I''m really sorry, it''s just that we are still in the development stage, and we have to be careful about everything."


    An Feng said: "I believe that the country will definitely develop and grow stronger. As long as the rich people contribute a little more, the GDP will increase sooner or later, isn''t it?"


    Sangqi said: "Yes, just like you, sir."


    After talking about some details with him, An Feng hung up the phone. If we talk about increasing the GDP, it��s really simple. Counting his property, the per capita GDP will reach 150,000 US dollars, easily surpassing Luxembourg and reaching the highest level in the world... This proves that the residents of this country are very rich!


    According to An Feng''s idea, they should buy some equipment from Russia or China, not just tanks, but also add some personnel carriers, individual weapons, rockets, etc... When buying from these two countries, the pursuit is cost-effective. There is no war in the area, cheap and affordable take the first place.


    After finishing, it''s time for An Feng to plan the travel.


    The original plan was to take a luxury trip to Britain and France, but I lived in Texas for almost ten days. After returning to California, I still had a lot of entertainment, and it ended in the middle of the month. In the end, they revised their plans. There was no need to be as exhausted as last time, and they only went to England to spend Christmas and New Years together.


    An Feng was relaxed, so he brought Joanna and his wallet. Visas have already become a cloud. After all, it is a new passport now, and Europe and the United States are exempt from visas.


    Take off from New York and land in London, England eight or nine hours later.


    An Feng took Joanna''s hand and walked out of the airport, looked up at the gray sky, then turned to look at her again: "Honey, us?"


    Joanna knew what he was going to do: "It''s up to you."


    An Feng stopped the taxi, just like last time, the destination was in front of the Aston Martin 4S store.


    I feel sorry for myself and James Bond for not driving a British sports car in the UK!


    Anyway, it��s a luxury vacation, and a car is not worth a lot of money. If you have enough fun, donate it. Donating in Joanna��s name can also gain a good reputation.


    Coincidentally, it was the same person who received them.


    "Mister and Madam, hello! Long time no see, how are you doing recently?" The salesman greeted them with a smile, apparently still remembering them.


    An Feng nodded: "Very good, thank you. We want to see the current car."


    "Please visit freely, all models are available for test drive, and there are enough existing cars." The salesman dared not neglect, and walked ahead quickly to invite them to visit the models.


    The last time he got a car in 20 minutes, the salesman didn''t doubt his purchasing ability at all.


    Walking around the Anfeng store, he nodded at a white V12-Vantage with a simple request: "There is no need for a test drive, just open a contract."


    "Please wait a moment!" The salesman asked them to sit down, he ran to prepare the contract, and the female assistant was very happy to serve tea and water. After browsing through it briefly, An Feng signed his name on it and issued the check. The whole process took less than fifteen minutes.


    The salesman helped them put their luggage in the trunk and opened the door for the wife.


    An Feng shook hands with him to say goodbye, got in the car and left gracefully, leaving the salesman with an undiminished smile.


    This vantage is stronger than the last vanquish in terms of acceleration and top speed, but the price is cheaper. I don��t understand the sales philosophy of British cars. Maybe they sell them because of their appearance... An Feng slaps himself, Aston Martin sells Appearance, is it funny? All look the same!


    This trip first stayed in a hotel by the Thames River. The royal suite cost 10,000 dollars a night, and ten nights can be exchanged for a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. This time they expected to stay for more than ten nights. Of course, it won''t be the same hotel, you have to change your taste and try the style of other top hotels.


    An Feng''s definition of vacation is: the most extravagant outfit, the top enjoyment.


    ��


    In the next few days, they kept visiting London, visiting scenic spots, or spending the whole afternoon in a daze, snuggling together to keep warm and chatting. Or, if you want to go together to cultivate your body and mind, the British Museum is obviously a good place, and visiting it can take several days.


    Then An Feng and Joanna really spent several days visiting it.


    Driving around the city in a sports car, tasted the scenic spots and foreign food (yes), changed hotels three times, and then suddenly thought, instead of changing hotels frequently, it is better to find a fixed residence, which belongs to them completely The house can be arranged however you want, and it also has a parking lot.


    An Feng showed his advantages: "It''s not bad to buy a house. Anyway, you are a local, and you will definitely come back often in the future. Count it, if you live in a hotel, you will come twice a year for ten days at a time, 10,000 US dollars a day. You can buy a nice central apartment in five years and it will last you 999 years.��


    Joanna nodded: "According to your algorithm, it''s correct."


    An Feng turned over and looked at her: "Then let''s look for it? The condition is a residence in the central area, a residence for vacation, and a transportation advantage is the first choice!"


    Joanna agrees: "No problem."


    London��s high housing prices are world-renowned, but it��s also interesting. No matter which country or region you are a citizen of, you only need to pay a lump sum, and they will sell it to you��because London is an ideal place for political asylum. But you want a loan or something, the premise is citizenship or visa.


    An Feng is naturally not short of money, and there is an advantage in London, he can use his own offshore company account... This is said, after all, it is registered in BVI, a British island, and it is only right to use it in the UK. Taxes are a headache for Americans. For things, British businessmen only take money.


    Joanna is familiar with London, and found a top real estate agency through the VIP service of American Express, which means that as long as you have an idea, they can provide special car, special person and thoughtful service throughout the whole process, ensuring that customers only need to use their fingers to transfer money, and they will do everything else for them you do.


    There is no special car, An Feng takes Joanna for a ride in a sports car. There is a wide range of choices, taking into account the nature of vacation, and the real estate is concentrated in the city center. The area around Canary Wharf is an emerging financial district. Recently, local tyrants in China have spent thousands of dollars to buy high-rise buildings, and newspapers have heatedly discussed them. An Feng went to take a look, it was okay, but not enough.


    An Feng asked: "It must have a good view."


    Joanna also said: "The field of view should be wide, the duplex on the top floor is the best, the one on the bottom floor is not, the one in the middle can be considered, the ventilation is good, and there must be enough privacy space, the distance between the residents is large, it is best to be top-notch decoration, equipped with a spa Jacuzzi����


    Now you know the difference between men and women.


    But the agency said that there is no problem, as long as you have money - they can even handle the license plate on behalf of them. Obviously, An Feng''s sports car needs a serious GB (EU-UK) license plate.


    It��s easy to do anything if you have money. Even if you��re tired of driving to see the house, the intermediary will immediately arrange a luxury car to pick you up. Finally, after looking around, you aim at the south bank of the Thames River. London��s landmarks: around Tower Bridge, a high-rise apartment building, two One living room with a study. Because the building is designed with glass curtain walls, there are no balconies, but there are all-round floor-to-ceiling windows, which provide an extremely wide field of vision and a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery.


    With an area of ??more than 1,200 square feet, equivalent to 120 square meters, the most exquisite design and decoration, using top brand furniture and electrical appliances, everything has been prepared, buyers only need to carry their bags to move in, and its price is also cheap, 180 Ten thousand pounds��for An Feng.


    Calculated on average, it costs 15,000 pounds per square meter, which is equivalent to 150,000 yuan per square meter. Many high-end residences in metropolises may be out of reach. As the intermediary said, only villa-style mansions are left with a higher average price than it. As an apartment, it is one of the best in London.


    Then An Feng bought it.


    Such a good location and scenery, I��m sorry if I don��t buy it, it��s only more than 3 million US dollars, not to mention that it has room for appreciation, even if it depreciates, the range will not be too large. After all, there are many famous scenic spots around, at most 300 Buy it in, sell it at 250, and you will not lose money after all the calculations.


    The house is brand new. It was bought by an unscrupulous profiteer to hoard the goods, and then pay high taxes. It costs a lot of money to hoard houses in the UK. There are real estate speculators, but they require a lot of capital. The intermediary also specially helped Anfeng contact the housekeeping company to clean the room again.


    After staying in the hotel for two more days, you can move in and enjoy yourself.


    Needless to say, An Feng is happy, but Joanna is happy because she can buy a lot of clothes, bags, shoes, hats, jewelry, cosmetics, perfumes... put them here.


    "Instead of throwing them away like last time!" Joanna sued An Feng.


    An Feng said innocently: "You still blame me?"


    Joanna said: "That''s the only way you will be impressed."


    "That''s why I bought you more bags?" An Feng smiled and took it.


    "How courageous! How dare you!" Joanna blushed after seeing through her small thoughts. He stopped using words, but took action: rushed over to attack him.


    An Feng hugged the restless cat and sat down by the bed, hugged her on his lap, straightened her loose hair, and asked, "Then I will accompany you to sweep the street again?"


    "Correct answer!" She laughed.


    =====


    PS: There was a mistake in the last chapter!


    It��s the cost of the airport. It��s a mistake of hundreds of thousands. After being reminded by an expert, the cost is at least hundreds of millions. It has been revised. Let��s say something here.

 Chapter 170： Baroness Project

    Chapter 170 The Baroness Project


    London has many attractions, and there are many things to play.


    But An Feng still encounters a lot of things that he can''t understand. After buying a house and living in the south of Tower Bridge, in addition to having an invincible city view, it is also close to scenic spots, such as the Tower of London, which is the former royal palace, a very famous and classic Normandy-style building.


    Joanna explained to him that the Tower of London, as a royal palace, also served as the Royal Mint, and it is more famous that it used to be a prison.


    An Feng asked: "Is that the kind of cage where prisoners are held?"


    Joanna nodded: "That''s right, the prison, and it''s a prison for serious offenders."


    An Feng frowned, expressing that he could not understand the way of thinking of the Saxons, but the weirder thing was yet to come.


    "For a while, it was also used as a zoo." Joanna said cautiously, staring at An Feng.


    "What?" An Feng couldn''t help laughing, "You''re sure it''s the palace, and what you want to tell me is: a zoo where a group of monkeys and orangutans gather together and squawk?"


    Joanna knew it would have this effect: "Of course."


    "Haha��" An Feng covered his mouth, be serious...but you can''t understand the funny world.


    Joanna curled her lips and said, "It''s a royal zoo, and it''s only for princes and nobles."


    "Well, I believe this is also a kind of grandeur." An Feng nodded, "I just don''t know what the princes and nobles who lived there think."


    Joanna said to herself: "The Tower of London is more useful."


    After the tour, the two walked slowly along the banks of the Thames. In the afternoon, the rare sun came out and bathed in bursts of warmth. When passing by a street restaurant, I decided to try oysters. Oysters, also known as raw oysters, are a great season to enjoy delicious food, especially char-grilled.


    There are quite a few people in this restaurant, with a French flavor. It seems that the continental oysters are more enjoyable... But the goal of a group of foreigners is quite unified, to enjoy fresh and attractive grilled oysters. Not long after they sat down face to face, two ladies came to the next seat, speaking in authentic Chinese.


    "The oysters here taste good, everyone recommends to try it, but the price is not affordable enough..."


    Hearing a familiar voice, An Feng looked away from Joanna, looked at one of the two ladies, and asked hesitantly, "Zhang Li?"


    The lady with tied hair and hat looked up, looked at An Feng a few times, and said pleasantly, "Oh! It''s you! I didn''t expect to meet you here!"


    "Yeah, what a coincidence." An Feng smiled, saying that Zhang Li was his colleague when he was a hard worker in the company, and the two were simply bickering enemies.


    Zhang Li was obviously very happy to meet friends in London, and kept talking: "You have changed so much! It''s a pity that I didn''t have time to attend your wedding last time. I have a lot of entertainment on October 1. I hate those picky holidays." A person who does great things! I heard that you have settled down in the United States? Hey, who is this?"


    An Feng received a lot of questions in his head, and explained one by one: "This is my wife, Joanna. I have settled in the United States, and this time I came to London for the New Year."


    "Nice to meet you, my name is Lilian." Zhang Liying greeted Joanna, "I used to work with Anne, oh, this is my friend Anne."


    Joanna smiled and said, "Nice to meet you, Lilian and Annie."


    When acquaintances meet each other, there are naturally many topics to talk about, so we just gather around a table to chat later. Obviously, Zhang Li is an outgoing girl who talks non-stop, even with her friends. If they are not concerned about public occasions, they will definitely become the focus of the audience. After dinner, we also went for a walk together.


    An Feng said that it is right for three women to be on the same street. Joanna doesn''t talk much, and her Chinese is not proficient enough to communicate quickly, but adding a sentence occasionally can bring more new topics. Listening with a smile, while the two ladies are in charge of talking.


    An Feng followed and listened. Their thoughts jumped quickly and they were full of gossip. Zhang Li said: "In addition to eating, drinking and playing, I finally came to England. I must meet Miss Du and ask her to give us some advice. These ordinary people show what is the demeanor of a noble lady."


    Zhang Li''s words have contempt in it. An Feng was curious: "Who is Miss Du?"


    Zhang Li turned around: "It''s your new colleague who came here after you resigned. He kept working with famous brand bags. After working for half a year, I heard that her boyfriend''s family immigrated to the UK and was awarded the title of nobleman. After that, I heard her talk about it all day long. How powerful my boyfriend is, high-class people, family glory and so on."


    Annie asked: "So you specially dragged me here to travel, and gain knowledge by the way?"


    Zhang Li smiled: "There is a certain element, but I can''t get used to the face of a green tea bitch. I don''t believe that nobles are so easy to get, but she said that she has a certificate. Who knows if the certificate is fake?"


    Joanna looked at them and reminded professionally: "So far, there are only three Chinese descendants who have been knighted by the Queen."


    Zhang Li turned to look at her: "Really?"


    Joanna nodded: "I''m sure, and they are all non-hereditary lifelong nobles."


    Zhang Li is still puzzled: "But she said she has a certificate, and she looks quite high-end. In addition, her boyfriend''s family can immigrate, which means she has some money."


    Joanna shook her head: "Impossible, if you are a citizen of the United Kingdom, you have a chance, but it''s ridiculous to confer a seal just after immigrating there."


    Zhang Li smiled: "Great! Finally we can expose her hypocrisy."


    An Feng asked at this time: "I have heard before that there is an activity of buying and selling titles among the British folks. As long as you pay money, you can exchange titles."


    Joanna suddenly smiled: "Do you believe it? If you buy a few inches of land for hundreds of thousands of pounds, and then the seller provides you with an unknown title, such as a baron viscount, you can really integrate into it." Those circles of nobles conferred by the queen or hereditary?"


    An Feng shook his head, if it was so casual, why would Joanna lose her inheritance right?


    Zhang Li suddenly realized: "Maybe she is talking about this kind of shabby title bought for hundreds of dollars! Haha, I have to ask her out and have a good talk."


    ��


    At noon the next day, An Feng was sitting on a soft chair, watching some news on his tablet while bored.


    The news is about some recent big and small things in London, such as what''s going on at Christmas, and how many thousands of people this year''s New Year''s Day parade will exceed... After flipping through it, a headline caught his attention, probably saying that the Queen conferred the New Year''s Day In the knighthood, there is the shadow of a financier.


    A few years ago, due to the bad economic situation, people in Europe and the United States were very resentful towards financiers. The economic crisis caused them to lose their jobs, and the unemployment rate doubled. The British royal family did not consider conferring on financiers. Start rewarding contributing financiers.


    Joanna got out of bed barefoot, came over and hugged his neck, and watched the content on the tablet together: "Conferring a financier? It seems that the recent economic recovery has been good."


    An Feng asked: "Is there a conferment every year?"


    "Of course, twice a year, once for the Queen''s birthday and once for New Year''s Day," Joanna said.


    An Feng asked again: "Who are the people who have been awarded? I think there are both men and women here. Look at this lady, DBE? It seems to be jazz?"


    Joanna glanced at it and said: "DBE is a type of Medal of the British Empire. Its rank is quite high. After being awarded, it is generally called with honorifics. The female is Dame, and the male is Sir. It is still rare for women to be awarded Yes, most of them are political figures or have influence on society.��


    An Feng said: "What if you also have a positive impact on society?"


    Joanna said with a smile: "It''s not too difficult. As a citizen and Lady, I will do some charity activities and support social welfare construction. I will get a medal in the end."


    An Feng discovered the New World: "Doesn''t that mean you have been re-granted the title of nobility?"


    Joanna shook her head: "Sirs are not nobles."


    An Feng clicked on a woman''s experience: "It''s okay, the level is raised step by step. Didn''t you see that she also started from DBE? After mixing for a while, she was naturally nominated for Baroness, and the queen personally conferred the title Although the baroness is a lifelong nobleman, it is of great significance."


    Joanna also read the experience of the baroness, and commented: "Of course, this is also a way to obtain a title, but it will require a lot of expenses."


    An Feng didn''t mind: "Money is not a problem, just do a few good deeds, and then give you a different title, so that everyone will use honorific names for you in the future."


    Joanna smiled and kissed him: "You have so many thoughts."


    An Feng continued to check other information: "It''s a sense of accomplishment to upgrade you to a noblewoman, and you can continue to go up... Oh, no, the baron is the highest among the lifelong nobles. It doesn''t matter, it''s not bad to have one, maybe wait for the law After the reform, you can get hereditary."


    Joanna thought of a point: "I''ve seen a Scottish baron before, and it needs a million pounds, and some trivial conditions, but it''s a pity that it''s male."


    An Feng was overjoyed when he heard it: "I thought the royal family wouldn''t get in. It turns out that if you have money, it''s easy to say."


    Joanna curled her lips: "It''s not the first time the royal family has sold their titles. It''s not allowed to do so now, but it doesn''t mean it can''t be done in other ways."


    She added: "You also have a chance. As a citizen of the Commonwealth of Nations, you are also listed."


    An Feng shook his head: "I''m afraid we still have to go back to the political background? As sad as I am, at most, you can get a lifelong title with gray hair, but you are different. If it weren''t for the inheritance law that discriminates against women, you would have been a countess by now. And it��s hereditary, passed down from generation to generation.��


    Joanna has excellent conditions. First of all, she is not from an ordinary background. She has been an aristocrat for several generations. The family has made outstanding contributions in World War I and World War II. After the death of her ancestors, the Queen personally mourned her. An Feng even saw photos of her and the Queen of England in different periods , so the family background is good; secondly, the feminist movement has been frequent in recent years, the government has continued to stimulate the economy, the society needs outstanding people, and capable women have begun to emerge.


    The last point is on An Feng: money.


    Money can do a lot of outstanding things. After Joanna made enough contributions to society, she was nominated to the queen. The queen took a look: Hey, didn��t you see this little girl before? The first impression is fine, and with emotional points, other procedures will be easy. In the end, of course, the sword patted the shoulder, with the title in hand.


    Although it has no real power, it sounds and feels completely different.


    An Feng YYed a bit, the sense of accomplishment of the baroness cultivation plan is incomparable, and it can also fill the emptiness that he has money and no place to spend after he has developed.


    ======


    PS: The real power of the British aristocracy is yet to be determined, because the House of Lords (House of Lords) are all nobles, they have the right to discuss financial bills, and the highest judicial power...

    The plan is only a preliminary idea, because it is not enough to have money alone, and you must have some meaningful relationships. Otherwise, no matter how good your performance is, no one will see it. Isn��t that useless? So An Feng''s plan is to lay the foundation first, set up a charitable foundation or something, and build up some character.


    The rest has to be taken slowly. Joanna is still very young, and there is no rush. She is only in her early twenties, and she is still a woman. Except for the royal family or hereditary titles, there is no such young one. Maybe it''s a good idea to play it safe... After chatting for a while, the two dressed up and prepared to go out.


    Because I need to drink afternoon tea. Drinking tea seems to have nothing to do with costumes... In fact, it depends on where. Leeds afternoon tea is world-renowned, so it requires men''s suits and ties, no jeans, and women''s skirts, that is, semi-formal or formal dresses.


    Speaking of British afternoon tea, I am afraid that it is one of the few British meals that An Feng thinks is desirable, especially the afternoon tea in Leeds is the most rare. Although it is not expensive, it is famous. There are three stalls a day. I want to book the afternoon tea The most secure seat is three months in advance!


    Obviously, An Feng didn''t need three months, but he got a seat four weeks in advance.


    He drove an Aston Martin in a suit and traveled smartly. After arriving, he got out of the car, threw the car keys to the parking boy in a graceful manner, and then opened the door for Joanna. Wearing a black dress and jewelry, Joanna got out of the car, draped his arm, and walked gracefully into the main entrance with him.


    Other guests are also grand, if they dress casually, they will feel embarrassed. The layout of the restaurant is also very exquisite. Looking around, every detail of the walls and dome is full of luxury and retro. At the same time, the exquisite porcelain and shiny silverware on the table are also very respectable.


    An Feng felt that drinking afternoon tea in this kind of place was mostly to enjoy the environment.


    Joanna said: "Traditional English afternoon tea, the etiquette is so cumbersome that after people try it once, they completely lose the mood of enjoying tea."


    An Feng smiled: "So it''s just for people to pass the time."


    There are not so many traditional etiquette here, except for the dress code, others are casual. On the way, the artist played a few impromptu piano songs, enjoyed black tea and snacks in an elegant atmosphere, and the leisurely afternoon was quickly wiped out, and the guests returned home with a full meal.


    It was already dark when we left, and we drove around the city to enjoy the hustle and bustle of London. The road in the city center is not spacious. Strictly speaking, it is not a cement road, but a stone paved road with a certain history. Walking on it gives people a strong sense of historical vicissitudes.


    Double-decker sightseeing buses can be seen everywhere on the road, which is probably one of the British characteristics, and there are absolutely indispensable red and black telephone booths. In addition, the streets of London have become more exotic in recent years - such as a Bugatti sports car with an Arabic letter plate on the front.


    Not only it, but the Lamborghini passing around also have Arabic license plates, which are different from the British or EU license plates. These outstanding sports cars do not belong to the local area. They are obviously transported by air from the Middle East. The bustling London has become a showcase for them. ego platform.


    An Feng said: "It feels like rich Arabs have taken over London?"


    Joanna nodded: "There are indeed a lot of Arabs, and these people who drive luxury cars are either super rich or members of the royal family. Some of them are studying in the UK, such as the royal family of Qatar. Their members are designated to study in British military academies. The summer is sweltering Then they come to London for the summer."


    An Feng said: "It''s really pleasant."


    "The royal families of several countries in the Middle East are closely related to the British royal family. Tourist visas are easy to obtain. Moreover, the business here is developed and there are many luxury goods. It is different from the Arabian region, which is a large desert. Therefore, these rich people choose London as the best place to travel. The stay is ten days."


    An Feng was stunned: "No wonder there are so many sports cars of Middle Eastern royal family members in London."


    After turning around a few times, cross the Tower Bridge and return to the underground parking lot of the apartment building. Since the building has just been built, the occupancy rate is not high, so the parking lot is a bit empty. The woman screamed, followed by the sound of kicking and beating.


    "What''s going on?" Joanna in the car looked at him.


    "I''ll go and see, you lock the car door!" An Feng said to her, and closed the car door.


    He followed the direction where the sound came from. Although he didn''t want to cause trouble by nature, it''s obviously not good to hear a lady calling for help without being a gentleman... After An Feng walked six or seven meters, he saw a few people beside a yellow Lamborghini A man was being assaulted by a group, next to a woman calling for help.


    "Hey!" An Feng reminded them that someone was watching.


    The men who beat up the man on the ground looked back at him. They all wore the uniform of a certain maintenance company, and one of them warned: "Don''t meddle in your own business!"


    An Feng shrugged and pointed to the camera above his head: "Look."


    a bunch of idiots! The security monitoring of the high-end community is obviously very good. Within a few minutes, security guards will arrive. Although these people are pretending to be air-conditioning repairmen and driving MPVs, but... one of them smiled, walked over without any care, and put his knuckles There was a crackling sound.


    "You trust these cameras too much." He said sarcastically.


    An Feng said: "I was just passing by."


    "You should turn around and leave immediately, we won''t trouble you!" He said as he walked.


    An Feng joked: "Can I regret it now?"


    The other party snorted, put on a bumpy iron glove on his right hand, and rushed up.


    He punched An Feng directly in the stomach.


    He jumped back, and when the opponent didn''t expect this seemingly harmless guy to have such a reaction speed, An Feng''s fist had already hit his face, flying three or four meters away together with the fallen teeth. An Feng stepped forward quickly, and when he was about to get up, he stepped on his chest.


    Apparently that guy is also a skilled player. If he couldn''t dodge it, he put his arms across his chest to block it, but this was his second miscalculation��An Feng stepped on his two little arms, and he couldn''t support the force. A soft **** hit his chest, together with the leather shoes, his whole body was boiling with blood.


    An Feng kicked him in the ribs again, cursing: "I want to leave too, but you are guarding the elevator door, how do you want me to **** the lady upstairs?"


    The guy who fell to the ground was about to vomit blood when he heard the truth! He cried, Bai Mi finally has a care, they happened to be waiting for the target near the elevator, and then taught him a lesson, unexpectedly, a hard stubble would go to the elevator from here...the result became the current situation.


    Seeing that the situation was not good, his other three accomplices took up weapons such as iron bars, wrenches, and sharp knives, and surrounded them.


    An Feng unbuttoned his suit, put on a fighting posture, and hooked his hands: "Come on!"


    The three people surrounded them in the shape of a pin, without saying a word, they raised their hands and hit them. An Feng reacted faster, raised his feet and stepped on the calf of the guy directly opposite him. He turned around and swept his legs, kicking away a guy with a knife on his left, hit a black Land Rover next to him, bounced back to the ground, and the harsh siren rang through the parking lot.


    It took only three seconds to knock down two guys, and the third guy just hit his back with the swinging stick, An Feng turned around, swiped his right hand in the direction of his swinging stick, dodged and clamped his arm with his arm. Then he kicked his crotch with his wrist, and the whole person said "ah", bent his knuckles, followed An Feng and kicked him on the chin, this guy turned somersault in the air, forming a big Type fell to the ground.


    The whole journey took only ten seconds, and the three strong men besieging him fell to the ground. Afterwards, An Feng stopped work and clapped his hands. The sound of running high heels came, followed by Joanna with an anxious face. She walked unsteadily: "Are you all right? Why did you come out?"


    "I''m worried about you." She looked at several people on the ground.


    "I''m fine." An Feng said, "It''s you, it''s easy to twist your feet while running in high heels."


    Joanna didn''t speak, and checked An Feng, who was safe and sound, and then heaved a sigh of relief, "Why did you fight with them?"


    An Feng was depressed: "I want to say that I am innocent. They are guarding near the elevator. Even if they don''t help, I will take you to the elevator, right?"


    At this time, the man who was beaten came up with the support of the fashionable woman. There was nothing wrong with his face, and the opponent''s attack was very targeted, and he didn''t slap his face. But look at his appearance...just slap him in the face! Although he is an Arab, this appearance is a bit enviable.


    The man said gratefully in English: "Thank you for your help, sir, may I ask your name?"


    An Feng said: "Bruce. Are you okay?"


    The other party stretched out his hand to him: "My name is Khaled, I''m fine, thank you for your help."


    An Feng shook his hand, looked at his standing posture, and didn''t seem to have any serious problems, so he asked, "Why did they beat you?"


    Khalid smiled: "I don''t know yet, but I will find out."


    There was quite a commotion in the parking lot. The security guard who heard the noise rushed over. Seeing this scene, he immediately took out the rubber sticks and electric batons on his body. Khalid immediately shouted: "I am Assani! This area Investors! Hurry up and call the police to deal with these criminals!"


    After An Feng heard this sentence, he thought of the luxury apartments around him. The high-end projects with an average price of 800,000 yuan actually belong to this guy?


    Sure enough, he lived up to the reputation of the local tyrant in the Middle East. An Feng felt that he could almost compare with himself... because he quickly calculated, based on two sets per floor, the 30th floor is about 60 sets, and the average set is 100. Ten thousand, that is 60 million pounds, plus other construction periods, about 200 million.


    Two hundred million pounds is not bad for a guy who dares to throw two billions to buy a cruise ship as a gift.


    Khaled saw that there was no surprise on An Feng''s face, and he was still calm. Looking at the woman next to him, his attention was completely on him, his concern was beyond words, and he admired him. A real kung fu master, the highest state of mind training.


    Khalid didn''t know where he heard about the Chinese Kungfu, and he admired An Feng in his heart, so he tried his best to invite him to his mansion on the top floor as a guest.


    Seeing that his enthusiasm was unstoppable, An Feng reminded: "I still have to cooperate with the police to investigate some things."


    Khalid smiled: "It''s okay, I will let my lawyer handle these things for us, and make sure you don''t feel any trouble."


    An Feng glanced at Joanna, how could he refuse the rich invitation.

 Chapter 172： royal family members

    Chapter 172 Royal Family Members


    I took the elevator with a local tycoon from the Middle East to his duplex mansion on the top of the building. It was really unusual. The space was empty. Except for the load-bearing walls, most of the walls had been demolished. There was very little furniture. The window is extremely wide, and the bright night view of London is all outside the window.


    The simple layout of the interior just echoes the wide scenery outside the window, which makes people feel open-minded and feel that there are many mountains and small mountains. Of course, there must be a swimming pool indoors. As a visitor to the desert country, how can you be worthy of the money in your pocket and your deep affection for water without a swimming pool?


    An Feng took a few glances and praised: "It''s a very nice place."


    "Thank you." Khaled was helped by his female companion to sit on the sofa, "Forgive me for not being able to stand up to receive you. And this is Laila, my friend."


    An Feng said meaningfully: "Girlfriend?"


    Khalid nodded: "Yes!"


    An Feng smiled, I can only help you here in Sao Nian.


    The woman who hadn''t spoken much smiled at them: "Nice to meet you!"


    Laila is of mixed race, looks very Arabian, with plump lips and charming eyes, especially when the gray eyes are paired with flaming red lips, they are very lethal. Seeing this scene, Joanna pulled An Feng who was staring at others, and said to him with some resentment: "Sit down first."


    An Feng and Joanna sat on the sofa beside them, gently holding her hand, turned their heads and said in Chinese: "You know that I love only you."


    An Feng obviously guessed Joanna''s jealous thoughts. She was quite embarrassed to be found out, but her tone was cheerful: "Poor mouth! Pay attention to the occasion!"


    An Feng smiled: "Otherwise, how would you know that I care?"


    Laila couldn''t understand Chinese, and when they stopped smiling, she said to the flirting two, "Please wait a moment, I''ll get some refreshments."


    Joanna nodded gracefully: "Thank you, I really trouble you."


    Leila said, "It''s okay."


    Joanna showed a friendly smile again. She is now looking for a place in someone else''s territory, and her words and deeds, even her actions, are standard ladylike.


    After Laila left, Khaled picked up his mobile phone and made a few calls, then turned to them and said, "It''s all right, let the police investigate tomorrow."


    After finishing speaking, Khalid shifted the topic to An Feng: "Bruce, are you from China?"


    An Feng nodded: "Yes."


    "I knew it, Chinese Kungfu, right?" Khaled said adoringly, "It''s really amazing! It''s so cool to see you defeating them just now."


    An Feng accepted it immodestly. Khalid talked about the content of kung fu for a long time. If it wasn''t for the inconvenient movement, and the meaning of asking An Feng to teach him a few moves, An Feng said that he has no love for accepting apprentices... halfway Lide didn''t stop until his personal doctor came, it was just a little skin trauma, nothing serious, after the doctor left, Khalid sat down again after changing his clothes, Laila also prepared dessert and fruit salad.


    Khaled has a bit of French enthusiasm. When everyone enjoyed the meal, they did not forget to express their gratitude to An Feng for his helping hand tonight.


    He said: "If it weren''t for your help, I would definitely suffer. Next time I have trouble, just come to me."


    "It''s okay, what a gentleman should do." An Feng said, "I feel that they are well-prepared and teach people professionally. I''m afraid you have to be careful recently."


    Khalid smiled and said proudly, "It might be because of Laila."


    An Feng and Joanna were puzzled.


    Khaled glanced at Laila and said, "She is well-known in the European show business circle, and she is an actress admired by many Arabs. This time, she and I came to London for a low-key vacation. Hotel, so there are some omissions in terms of security."


    An Feng automatically made up his mind. It turned out that Diaosi was soaked in the goddess, and then the other rich and handsome were upset, so he hired thugs to teach him a lesson and give him some flair. But the reality is cruel, Khalid is obviously not a dick, and based on his behavior and various behavioral signs, this guy is a rich man.


    After Khalid mentioned that he was from Qatar, Joanna reminded An Feng: "The surname is related to the royal family, maybe it is a prince or something."


    An Feng complained, can you not play like this? Rich, handsome, beautiful, or a prince, how can you let others face life with optimism?


    In view of the showy temper of Arabs, An Feng didn''t beat around the bush, so he asked, "I feel that your surname is related to the royal family of Qatar."


    Khalid did not hide: "It is somewhat related, my father is the brother of the new head of state."


    An Feng thought for a while, so isn''t his father the prince now?


    Amazing! The prince of a local tyrant, Qatar is still an absolute monarchy, not a constitutional monarchy where the king does not have much real power. The country is small, but it has a lot of oil and natural gas, and the potential wealth is absolutely extraordinary...Qatar is one of the top ten countries with per capita GDP.


    After much deliberation, An Feng regained his confidence in the fact that he is rich. You have status and money, and I have a lot of money, so the world is balanced, right?


    Khaled saw that An Feng''s face was always calm, and his female companion had a good temperament. According to the Oxford accent that is only available in the upper class, he may be either a nobleman or a rich family. Coupled with the speculative chat, he has the intention of making friends, he said : "May I ask what industry Mr. An is in?"


    An Feng touched his pocket, but there was nothing there. It was Joanna who thoughtfully opened the handbag and took out a few bronzing business cards. An Feng took them and handed them to him: "This is my business card! Well, this is from GP Energy, I''ll give you another one from the GP company, and this security company."


    Khaled took the business card, thinking that this person is so powerful, I am afraid that the business card is usually issued selectively... When I saw a company starting with GP, as a well-informed person who took a degree in the UK and traveled to Europe Members of the royal family quickly thought of the origin of GP Energy.


    Khalid was surprised: "Are you the shareholder of that GP Energy?"


    An Feng nodded: "I have some shares."


    Khalid said: "It''s amazing. People in the traditional oil industry are discussing new energy recently. Your electric vehicles must be very strong, right?"


    An Feng was puzzled: "We don''t produce electric vehicles."


    Khalid asked: "Isn''t it called Tesla?"


    An Feng said with a smile: "Tesla is our partner and also holds a certain share."


    "You outnumber them?" Khaled said.


    "Probably." An Feng answered vaguely.


    "Are you the boss?" Khalid said suddenly.


    "Haha!" An Feng laughed, "What do you think the chances are?"


    Khalid also laughed, and did not continue on this topic, after all, it is personal privacy. But he always felt that An Feng''s background was not simple, so he continued to chat in depth, frequently revealing his interest in new energy, and inquired about some information: new energy is indeed very strong, but it takes a lot of time to develop.


    This is finally good news. At least the traditional gasoline industry has been taken away, and oil can still dominate other fields. The dominance of natural resources cannot be shaken in the short term. However, the foundation of new energy is not stable. It will take time to develop, but it is strong in The chances of failure are low.


    After talking about the development of science and technology in the United States, Khalid talked about the environment: "I would like to go there to have fun. I heard that the winter in Florida is very warm."


    An Feng said: "The weather is maintained at 20 degrees Celsius during the day, and it will be even hotter at noon. It is a good place to go swimming in the sea in winter."


    Khalid said: "So I plan to take Laila there. Things here are too troublesome. There are always people who want to spy on my secrets, making people uncomfortable."


    An Feng figured it out, this guy just wanted to take the beauty to a place where others couldn''t find it. But the Arabs go to America? I''m afraid it''s not appropriate, aren''t they afraid that they will be treated as human bombs with bearded scarves in the past? An Feng said cautiously: "Americans are different from British people."


    Khalid nodded: "I know that Americans are more cunning, and I am from a Middle Eastern country, so I will subconsciously give them a bad impression."


    An Feng thought to himself: I know why I still go, isn��t the Arab��s paradise not good in Europe?


    Khalid continued: "The relationship between Qatar and the United States is still good. They implement a visa-on-arrival policy. As long as it is not a tense moment, we will pass it unconditionally."


    An Feng understood: "I wish you all the best. If you encounter any trouble over there and need manpower, you can call the number on the Aegis security business card and tell them that Bruce introduced them. They will arrange the most professional bodyguards for you." , to ensure that you can enjoy the most relaxing journey.��


    Khalid looked at the business card and put it away seriously: "Thank you for your generosity. I am indeed not familiar with the United States. It would be much more convenient to have friends to help me. But it is still just a plan and has not been decided. If I go on vacation, I will definitely visit you sometime."


    "I''m very welcome!" An Feng said with a smile, it would be nice to get a wealthy friend and then sell Aegis Security.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 173： conferment

    Chapter 173 Conferred


    The next day, An Feng chatted with the police lawyer who arrived.


    That is to dictate the whole incident of last night, because the camera was deliberately damaged, so the oral evidence of An Feng and Khalid is very important. Of course, the police are completely against them. Khalid''s identity is there, an investor who promotes employment, and the government is trying to curry favor with him.


    Khalid didn��t know the cause of the incident, but nine out of ten it was because of the Lebanese mixed-race beauty Laila, who deserves to be the idol of the Arab people. But it''s also cheaper for An Feng, who draws his sword to help when the road is uneven, and even hooks up with local tyrants.


    After that, An Feng continued to travel with Joanna.


    On the way, Zhang Li and her best friend joined the organization, chattering and buzzing constantly. But An Feng''s two-seater sports car was obviously not enough. After the generous Khalid found out, he took him to the underground parking lot and pointed to the row of cars: "Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Rolls-Royce...choose any!"


    The local tyrant��s garage is still very powerful. An Feng visited several four-door cars, and after listening to Khalid brag about his car, he finally chose the low-key Range Rover. But since it is a car for local tyrants in the Middle East, the low-key displacement of 3.0 is obviously not in line with its status, and it needs the top 5.0 liters.


    Fuel consumption, in countries where mineral water is more expensive than gasoline, this concept... they usually ignore it.


    ��


    After Christmas, the weather was very cold, but everyone''s enthusiasm for playing was as usual.


    Zhang Li obviously did her homework, and took them to visit attractions familiar to local talents, some of which even Joanna didn''t expect.


    For example, Camden-Market, two ladies strongly requested to take a trip accompanied by a gentleman.


    An Feng was puzzled and said, "Where is that place? Do you need a man to accompany you?"


    Zhang Li said: "Camden Bazaar is a place where certain trends are concentrated. The races are relatively mixed, so the security is occasionally a bit chaotic, but it is said to be worth a visit."


    Joanna seemed to know something, but she didn''t reveal the answer. Although Zhang Li and Annie had never been there, they were full of curiosity and wanted to uncover the deep veil of London.


    So An Feng drove them away.


    Camden Market is crowded with people, the buildings on the street are a bit messy, and the shops use some unconventional designs, such as a plane that is falling straight down, and huge chairs stand on the billboards... But this is not the point, the point is Anfeng The sight seen by the eyes is still unimaginable to this day.


    Looking around the market, some styles that are not acceptable to most people appear one after another��a towering **** head, hair dyed green, shaved on both sides, revealing a blue scalp; with a nose ring, wearing ripped jeans, There are also shiny silver studs on the shoulders of the motorcycle jacket.


    "Kill Matt?" An Feng felt Dandan''s sadness.


    With a dark face, he pulled the two ladies in front of him looking around: "Sister, are you sure you''ve come to the right place?"


    Zhang Li and Annie were obviously also very surprised. Hearing An Feng''s words, Zhang Li nodded: "Of course, this is the birthplace of British Punk (punk)! Hey! What did you just say about killing Matt? We can do it well." Is it? Can those middle-school and second-tier rural models in China be compared with punk?��


    An Feng curled his lips: "Look at your proud appearance! Do you want to have that... Boom hair?"


    Annie smiled: "What is Boom''s hair?"


    Three afro-headed horses with smoky eye circles and nose rings passed by. An Feng looked at them and clapped his hands over their heads: "It''s like it exploded."


    Zhang Li despised him: "It''s vulgar! Appreciating art doesn''t mean that you like being art!"


    An Feng shrugged: "You win, but you can''t beat you!"


    Actually, it��s not that he hasn��t heard of punk rock, right? They play in Europe and the United States, especially those punk bands, with Mohawk hair, wearing fancy clothes and going crazy, feeling that they are not in the same dimension as everyone... And here is the holy land of punks, the birthplace of punk culture.


    An Feng said to Joanna: "It completely overturned my understanding of British gentlemen."


    Joanna said with a smile: "Since you are here, you have to understand these ways of expressing your dissatisfaction by changing your appearance and eager to stand out."


    An Feng is puzzled, doesn''t it feel like a young and ignorant killer?


    Of course, after visiting the bazaar, An Feng defined: This is the high-end version...First of all, British middle school and second-year youths have their own aesthetics and taste; secondly, punk players are also people who have jobs and have a high degree of education , they shape a culture��a culture that is not very acceptable. Finally, punks have something to say: punks for punks are not real punks, punks are attitudes rather than appearances.


    ��


    Two days later, when the new year was approaching, it was time for Zhang Li and her best friend to say goodbye. An Feng sent them to the airport, and on the way back by car, he received a call from an unfamiliar person. The bluetooth headset answered, and the voice was very familiar: "Bruce, this is Matthew , this is a British number."


    "Matthew? Come to England for the New Year?" An Feng asked.


    Matthew said: "That''s right, but the main purpose is to celebrate Bazel''s conferment in person. He will be knighted by the Queen after the New Year."


    "Oh! Congratulate him for me, what a surprise!" An Feng said.


    Matthew smiled: "No, he is next to me. Are you free tonight? Let''s have a drink together, plan to find a place to play and so on."


    "Okay, no problem tonight." An Feng said.


    In the evening, he and Joanna dressed up to attend, and many people came. Matthew, Bazel, their wives and children were all here. If the old lady was not preparing for the operation, I am afraid they would also be there. We all had dinner together, and the conversation focused on the rosy Bazel.


    Bazel has always impressed An Feng as a calm, traditional person with a gentlemanly demeanor and a completely British life. For example, he likes to ride horses, raises expensive racehorses, and often organizes friends to play horse races. He can also play fencing and has played against Joanna before.


    If one day Matthew said that he was knighted, An Feng might be skeptical, but if it was Bazel, he would completely believe that Bazel''s behavior conformed to the model of an old nobleman, but he was a little confused about his nationality. Matthew later explained that Bazel has dual citizenship, that is, he holds both the United Kingdom and the United States.


    (Note: The United States defaults to dual citizenship)


    Matthew said: "This year, the ceremony at Buckingham Palace is a little earlier, so we have to come here now. By then, Bazel will suddenly become a baron."


    An Feng smiled: "Congratulations, Bazel."


    "Thank you!" Bazel nodded with a smile and toasted him.


    Many people are conferred by the Queen every year, and they have various occupations. Directors, movie stars, singers, football coaches, financiers...all have been awarded medals. However, the queen confers the title of jazz, which does not belong to the nobility, but is just a symbol and a title of honor before the name.


    The baron is different, the prince is male, and the baron is at the end, but there is no doubt that this title belongs to the nobles-there are very few nobles who can be officially conferred by the queen, because the titles of the nobles in the UK are hereditary, except for major contributions. Generally no titles will be added.


    The reason why Bazel was banned was naturally his significant contribution to the country''s economy and the number of jobs he provided. The reasons are very strong. What''s even more powerful is that if he wants to, he can be nominated as an aristocrat to enter the upper echelon. House of Representatives, become a soy sauce politician.


    An Feng is very curious about the process of these "promotions", because he also plans to let Joanna get a title back to add some fun to life.


    After hearing this, Bazel said plainly: "I was not conferred on purpose, and I didn''t plan it before, but I have summed it up mainly for a few points: domestic enterprises have made outstanding performance; charitable foundations Years and months of service; opportune timing to be nominated for the Queen."


    An Feng nodded: "It seems that this is a long-term job."


    Bazel smiled: "Not necessarily, it actually depends on the person and the method. For example, Joanna, she has good conditions, and Bruce, you have spare money. If you are targeted, you can make some contributions to society and politicians. If it is easy, you will be nominated, and you can finish it a few times."


    An Feng asked: "Can you hook up?"


    Bazel nodded: "If you want, that''s fine."


    ��


    If before 1999, the power of the British aristocracy was not small, the more than 1,000 seats in the House of Lords were all kinds of aristocrats, who could shake the government''s decision-making, but after the reform in 1999, 90% were cut off at once, and only 90% were retained. Several seats, known as the "twilight of the nobility", and the beginning of the new century.


    Now mixed with non-hereditary titles, if it is not for politics, it will only be boring.


    An Feng happens to be the boring type. There must be some pursuits and challenges in life, otherwise it will be easy to be depressed. After a long chat with Bazel, he plans to spend more than five years creating a very beautiful woman for Joanna. A typical image of an outstanding character, put the glory on her.


    It was a long process, but it was a challenge.


    In the next few days, visiting London with the Sinclair family was not an ordinary tour, but an elegant life, such as going to a concert, the Royal Albert Hall is obviously a good place, and everyone sat in a box to enjoy a Beethoven''s symphony, cultivate your sentiment.


    An Feng feels pretty good, except for the opera. Opera is really not something that everyone can appreciate. People who like opera are either born die-hard fans or acquired fantasies. Even Joanna said that she has no love for opera. It is different from musicals. Musicals also have popular elements, or Beautiful actors, and opera is like... Chinese people go to Beijing opera, babbling, oh, oh, one out of ten appreciates it is considered a success.


    After that comes the New Year. The New Year��s countdown fireworks show is a big event in London. In addition, there are Paris in France, New York in the United States and other metropolises. London��s is more classic. Oranges are really delicious in color and fragrance.


    If you want to see it, you have to pay a lot of money��it is safe to wait six hours in advance. If you go late, the venue in front of Big Ben is full, and the police will not let people in.


    An Feng and the others obviously don''t need the way of ordinary people. They rent a boat and swim on the Thames River. Everyone sits together and looks at the sky. The fireworks are brilliant and colorful... The giant Ferris wheel "London Eye" not far away is also bursting with colorful colors The wonderful, New Year''s bell is slowly swaying...

 Chapter 174： GP Energys Big List

    Chapter 174 The Big List of GP Energy


    A few days later.


    Bazel''s conferment went smoothly. After the ceremony at Buckingham Palace, a celebration ball was held at the hotel the next day, and friends from all walks of life were invited to attend. An Feng and Joanna were naturally among them. They attended on time and found that not only rich businessmen but also some politicians were present.


    It seems that Sinclair''s stall is very large. No wonder Bazel often travels between the two places. His children are also studying in the UK, so part of the business falls here. This made An Feng''s assessment of their strength once again improved, no longer limited to the United States, but to Europe and the United States.


    But going down, I am afraid that it will have to be defined again.


    Because he met Khaled. This guy is also wearing a suit and dress, and the female partner next to him is the Lebanese mixed-race female singer. She is wearing a red suspender dress with a high profile, just like Khalid''s extroverted temperament. Perhaps because of his education in Western culture, he didn''t grow a beard and put a suit on his body. If he didn''t have a dark complexion, he might not be able to tell that he is an Arab.


    "Hey, Bruce!" Khalid apparently also found An Feng, and walked over in surprise.


    "The world is so small!" An Feng greeted him.


    Khalid said: "At the invitation of Mr. Sinclair, I came to celebrate his knighthood."


    An Feng chatted with him for a while, and clinked wine glasses with him, but what An Feng drank was champagne, while Khalid drank ordinary fruit juice, which he still had **** taboos. Then they went to socialize separately, and An Feng was introduced by Matthew to meet many businessmen and politicians.


    An Feng glanced at Khaled who was talking with Bazel, and asked curiously: "It seems that the relationship card also has business elements in it?"


    Matthew nodded: "Of course, we have cooperated with Qatar in oil in recent years, and we have a lot of business dealings. This time, the other party is rushing to LNG in Texas. Once an agreement is reached and approved by the US government, we will have a sum of money." Tens of billions of orders."


    Ten billion is a big deal. Xinshi Energy cooperates with Qatar Petroleum, and Qatar cooperates with them in natural gas. Under the background of mutual benefit, in-depth collusion will be indispensable in the future... Therefore, Anfeng believes that Xinshi Energy''s business scope spans three continents. involved in high-level operations. The members of the royal family this time are undoubtedly making connections. If they want to go further in the future, they must contact these princes and nobles.


    Later, Matthew also said: "Africa''s oil is also in the strategic plan. As we all know, Libya and Nigeria have more oil reserves than Texas."


    An Feng admires that the strategic vision of a real big company will never be limited to the present. Like a general company, it may plan three years or five years later. Multinational companies will have ten or twenty years. The most classic is Google. Achieved the development strategy of fifty years later.


    It is normal for Sinclair''s African oil strategy to be included in the plan, and new energy is also their plan, but it has already begun to be implemented. From this friendly conversation with the British business community and the Middle East oil tycoon, they have put some Focus on new energy.


    ��


    Soon after, An Feng and Joanna returned to the United States.


    The winter vacation for American college students is a bit short, and they have to start school in January, and I��m afraid the domestic ones just have a holiday... After sending her to school, I went home and carefully made plans for this year. The reason for being able to calm down and make plans is naturally that money is no longer enough to spend lavishly, and planning is equal to saving money.


    According to Hardy Locke''s calculations, after deducting the 100 million in taxes, there are more than 60 million left in his US account, and 50 million of them will be included in the land expenditure-the auction of the land in Santa Barbara is determined to be won The standard must have more than 50 million funds.


    The remaining ten million yuan is no longer enough for him to be extravagant. If it is included in GP International, it is quite a lot, more than 600 million is a considerable scale, but it is not convenient to use it in the name of a person. If you want to use it, you will pay it as a dividend and then deduct a tax. An Feng doesn''t like this kind of depression.


    "Do you really want to go abroad for consumption?" An Feng was entangled. He invested in so many industries, but in the end, few of them could give him profit dividends.


    It doesn��t matter if it doesn��t generate profits, some companies still keep swallowing money, such as robot companies.


    Depressed, a phone call came from the assistant Eve.


    "Hi, girl?" An Feng said casually.


    Eve said: "Mr. An, hello. Let me inform you that workshop 1 of the battery factory has been put into operation, and the recruitment and training of workers have been completed. Next, we will negotiate with Tesla, Apple and other companies. Would you like to attend in person?"


    An Feng said: "Isn''t there Hawley hosting? It''s not interesting for me to participate in these things. Just tell me something briefly and see how it''s all planned."


    Eve said: "In terms of car batteries, according to the contract, at least 1.5 billion single car batteries will be provided to Tesla within three years. The car batteries in the first year can only be provided to Tesla, which are divided into high-end version and low-end version. There are two types, and the demand for each of them is around 2,000."


    Anfeng experienced it in Texas last time. The high-end version of MODEL-S has a range of 850 kilometers��actually, it is about 800 kilometers according to the driver��s driving habits, because you always have to drive with air conditioning, listen to music, or occasionally use a large battery. door, racing other cars...


    The range of the low-end version is 550 kilometers, which is actually slightly lower. Although the battery cost is lower, the charging time is not much worse.


    An Feng asked: "Have you calculated the battery profit of the low-end version?"


    "Yes, according to the current cost, the profit of each battery can be maintained at about 5 dollars."


    An Feng calculated that a car has 2,000 batteries and a profit of $5, so its selling price is estimated to be around $10, and 30% of Tesla��s cost is batteries.


    In fact, to build a large battery, it is enough to connect dozens of pieces in parallel, but Tesla is arrogant, but to build a precise battery control system, it takes thousands of pieces to reflect its high technology... the safety of graphene batteries It is very high, but since it is required by the customer, let''s do it.


    An Feng asked: "What about the high-end version of the battery?"


    Eve said: "The demand for the high-end version accounts for about 30% of the total, and the profit of each battery can be maintained at about 8 US dollars. According to the three-year demand, it is estimated that the high-end version of the battery can bring a total of 3.6 billion in net profit. , with an additional minimum profit of 5.2 billion, for a total of 8.8 billion U.S. dollars."


    An average profit of 3 billion a year��ideal state. Assuming a net profit margin of 30%, its turnover will be at least tens of billions, which is a very high figure compared to the battery industry, and it is only Tesla��s car batteries, what about the broader car brands? ? And away from the automotive field, what about mobile devices?


    An Feng said happily: "This is definitely the company''s biggest new year''s order."


    "Congratulations!" Eve congratulated with a smile, "There is also good news. The company is currently negotiating with Apple and will also provide them with batteries for mobile devices. In order to maintain their technological leadership, they require us to offered exclusively for three years, but Mr Hawley disagreed."


    An Feng thought about it and agreed with Hawley. Three years is too long, but he intends to introduce new batteries to mobile devices all over the world. In addition to making money for himself, there is also a noble saying that it will benefit mankind-in fact, the more you sell, the more you earn-but it''s not easy to say?


    Eve continued: "Except for the time difference, the negotiation in other aspects was very good. The company intends to develop high-end batteries for mobile devices. Compared with twice the capacity of car batteries, the capacity of mobile phone batteries will be increased by at least three times. , the charging time of ordinary chargers is shortened to 20 minutes, and the profit is more than 11 US dollars."


    An Feng thought of something: "Workshop No. 1 can only use 20% to produce other batteries, right?"


    ��Yes, 80% goes to making car batteries.��


    An Feng asked: "The other two workshops will not be able to operate until the end of the year at least?"


    "It is expected to be so, and the No. 3 workshop may be slightly beyond the plan."


    An Feng said: "The output of 20% is not high. At most, it can be supplied to two mobile device manufacturers at the same time. It is better to provide it exclusively to Apple within one year after the completion of other workshops, so that we can properly charge some exclusive fees. How about the cost, plus the profit?"


    Eve wrote down his plan: "I will give my opinion to Mr. Hawley later."


    An Feng smiled: "It''s troublesome."


    ��


    The development of batteries has given Anfeng the dawn of making money, and it is expected that he will definitely be able to pay dividends in January next year... Unfortunately, there is still one year left. However, the development prospects are good. The first workshop alone can get so many orders, and Tesla and Apple have put forward various conditions to get ahead.


    If the second and third workshops are built, there will be more businesses that can''t wait to come around, from car batteries, to mobile phones, tablets, notebooks... Anyone who doesn''t want to be connected by wires will choose their extremely cost-effective ones. Super batteries also mean mountains of wealth.


    If cost savings are considered, it is more appropriate to build the next factory in a third world country, because the Americans are really **** up, workers'' wages continue to rise, and various trade union representatives will come to threaten the factory to raise wages... Next time the factory will be built In China, offering higher treatment than the local level ensures that everyone has no complaints, and it is also conducive to expanding the market. It can also be regarded as overseas Chinese businessmen contributing to GDP.


    ��


    Benjamin Hawley is really in high spirits recently.


    As the CEO of GP, he manages the work of GP Energy downwards. For an epoch-making company, many people are struggling to get their orders. As far as mobile phone batteries are concerned, Apple and Samsung also have to compete. Even though the company has leaned towards Apple, Samsung is still not reconciled, saying that if this year''s exclusive plan fails, they will try their best to compete for the No. 2 workshop next year.


    Hawley appropriately let out a little bit of news, gave them hope, but did not give promises. The result would naturally be competition, exhausting all methods, and showing the benefits��even at a loss. Because of the long-term vision, what is grabbing now is not the battery profit, but the future market.


    Even if buying batteries is a loss-making operation, but the future market has been seized, do you still care about this loss?


    Hawley naturally understands the other party''s psychology, so he, who has the power of life and death, almost laughs at the battle of the princes, trying to expand the company''s interests and win the favor of the shareholders behind him-he understands that so many giants are crowded together, and he stands out. It''s easy, but you have to keep your seat.


    The most effective way to keep your status is to show your grades.


    For Hawley, who likes a challenge, this is exciting. After constant negotiations, Apple finally won 20% of the output, and GP will exclusively provide them with batteries for a period of one year. In addition to paying for the batteries, they will also give them an exclusivity of up to 2 billion U.S. dollars. cost.


    To put it in a disguised form, the 2 billion is equivalent to Apple��s advertising expenses��declaring to the world that their mobile phone batteries are invincible, which is stronger than other forms of advertising.


    It is almost effortless to get the money. Even the battery has not been shipped, and 2 billion has already been received. According to the agreement, Apple will pay half of it in July and the rest in January of the following year. Other merchants who lost their opportunities naturally lamented for a while, but they also ignited their fighting spirit to compete for the No. 2 workshop.


    GP energy will be a hot word for a long time.

 Chapter 175： high treatment costs

    Chapter 175 High medical expenses


    In the middle of January, An Feng, who was short of money, got a sum of money.


    Things went back half a year ago, he sold two weight-loss drug patents from the research center to HG Company, and received 25% of the sales of weight-loss drugs. Up to now, the weight-loss drug has been on the market for 5 months, and the effect is outstanding, and it has many supporters. Obese patients rush to buy it, and there is also a wave of slimming.


    Looking at the information on the Internet, HG''s diet pills are not only interested in the United States, but even Russian women on the other side are also very interested. They are currently negotiating and considering branching.


    There are two types of Russian women in terms of figure. The first stage is when they are young, the girls are all kinds of slender, all kinds of hot, and you can find tall and **** beauties on the street; the second stage is when they have children or are older. , Auntie''s figure... It''s like inflating her body.


    HG''s diet pills can change this situation. As long as you exercise enough, your youthful figure will return again.


    So its popularity has only just begun.


    Also in January of this year, HG Company remitted 30 million sales revenue to An Feng''s private account according to the contract requirements. If John and the bank secretary hadn''t informed him, I''m afraid he would have forgotten it too. It''s a great feeling to have someone help you just when you''re short on money.


    With an extra 30 million, Anfeng''s funds will be much more abundant.


    Because of this inspiration, he has a plan for the research center to continue to develop maintenance drugs. The research center has a lot of staff, and not all of them specialize in cancer research. The remaining researchers can consider researching and developing some beauty products. Having a beautiful face is probably what women pursue all their lives.


    The research and development of new drugs is not too difficult. After the results are obtained, they can be used by Joanna. Caucasians grow fast and mature at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but bloom early and wither early. After the age of 30, if life pressure is high and care is not taken care of, they will be more likely to age than yellow people.


    An Feng saw many typical examples in Los Angeles. He looked like he was in his thirties, but his skin was already loose. The exposed skin on his chest, shoulders and other places were all kinds of spots, and he could feel a rough feeling from the outside. , Compared with Asians, whites are really powerless.


    Of course, Joanna is rich and takes care of her health, so she doesn��t have to worry about it, but An Feng believes in her own technological strength, and it will save her from being entangled in not knowing which way to take care of herself when she becomes a mother in the future... He found out a lot of useful things However, it was later discovered that the most powerful solution was biotechnology.


    Biotechnology starts from a deep level and slows down the speed of cell aging. Normal cells can divide 10-50 times in a lifetime. , can guarantee that fifty years old is the same as thirty years old.


    To some extent, this is also a way to prolong life.


    But biotechnology is much more difficult than chemical drugs... An Feng looked at Joanna who was laying down and applying a silk mask. It doesn''t matter if it is difficult, as long as it is necessary. Who doesn''t want their wife to be young and beautiful forever? So he spent the night sorting out his thoughts and staying young, which will be a big project.


    Two days later, An Feng and Joanna flew to Los Angeles.


    This time, it''s business plus private. Joanna''s personal affairs are on Joanna''s body, and it''s nothing more than going to the luxury shopping mall in Beverly Hills to buy some things she likes, cosmetics or clothes, etc., and by the way, go to AmEx to pick up the newly made Centurion Black Gold Card. Made for Joanna.


    This is also considered a fashion, so that when she travels alone, if she can''t get a credit card, An Feng has to use the best one for her. Once the top-level card is issued, the VIP service will come immediately. After receiving it, go to the research center with her. As planned, Mrs. Sinclair was hospitalized.


    Today is the first day, and both Matthew and Bazel are with us.


    An Feng met them, chatted for a while, and said to them: "Don''t worry, things will go well, just wait for the good news, I''ll go see her first."


    Bazel said: "Trouble."


    "Don''t worry." An Feng came to the specially added ward and said it was a ward, but he couldn''t see anything related to the hospital at all. It was like a high-end hotel room, beautifully furnished, with a sofa and TV. It is also equipped with a small living room, which is convenient for receiving guests at ordinary times.


    There''s also a real reason: it''s a research center, not a hospital.


    An Feng walked up to the old lady who was being drawn by the nurse, and asked with a smile, "Hi, Tima, are you feeling alright?"


    The old lady nodded: "Not bad, but a little nervous."


    An Feng pulled a chair and sat down next to her: "Don''t worry, I will play in person this time, and I will definitely ensure that you can feel the vigorous vitality again."


    She said: "I just hope that I can get rid of the torture of taking medicine frequently, and stop listening to them nagging all day long. It''s okay to feel uncomfortable."


    Feeling the childishness of the old lady, An Feng smiled: "You have to understand their feelings as children. If it were me, I would be nervous all day long."


    The old lady smiled: "I know. But my physical condition and what to pay attention to, I know better than anyone else before my mind is clear."


    Like most British and American old people, Mrs. Sinclair has a strong sense of independence, and age cannot kill their pursuit and "vigor". An Feng often sees old men in California driving retro convertibles with friends... He turned The head asked the nurse: "Are all the samplings over?"


    "Yes, sir, this is the last blood draw, followed by a comprehensive examination." The nurse said.


    "Very good." An Feng nodded, and looked at her again: "I''ll arrange work right now, madam, please relax your mind, and you will be able to get rid of the nightmare soon."


    ��


    An Feng joined the expert group. The expert group has three treatment experiences and is familiar with the process. Anfeng is only responsible for checking the ratio of drugs, because different patients have different dosages, too much or too little will lose the effect, and even have adverse effects. rigorous.


    In addition to participating in drug preparation, An Feng also found time to do other things, and arranged new tasks for the two research and development teams of the research center, which were engaged in drug research and biological research and development respectively. The goal is to keep in good health, the former one is for women, and the latter biological method is for all human beings.


    Occasionally a little noble sentiment is also good, although humans need to pay the bill.


    The researchers have already experienced the power of An Feng, so they take a very serious attitude towards these tasks. Every detail he explained has been recorded and studied repeatedly, and the relevant progress will be reported at any time... An Feng only Just need some pointers.


    Three days later.


    An Feng put on a white coat and a mask, and made a guest appearance as a doctor. But his role is only on-site guidance, checking the details, because he does not have a medical license. Even so, everyone still trusts him very much. If there are still problems with his presence, it proves that the original theory will collapse.


    Before treatment begins, drugs are injected and a surgical operation is performed.


    An Feng observed the whole process and was not used to seeing the operation process, but from a medical point of view, he persisted and guided some follow-up steps, delivery of drug doses, etc., trying to make the process more coherent and reduce the steps of treatment , reduce the error rate.


    Outside the operating room, Matthew and Bazel waited, playing with their mobile phones, or looking up at the ceiling, seemingly casual, but they did not speak during the whole process, and even others could feel their anxiety... Finally, the door of the operating room It opened and a nurse came out pushing a cart.


    Matthew stepped forward and asked concerned: "How is it?"


    Nurse said: "Please rest assured, the world''s top experts are concentrated in the operating room, there will be no problem."


    Matthew breathed a sigh of relief, no bad news is the best news.


    Ten minutes later, the door of the operating room opened, and An Feng, who was in a relaxed suit, was the first to come out. He glanced at Matthew and Bazel, and made an "OK" gesture. When I returned to the dressing room, I could still hear the cheers of the two brothers outside... It was a bit subversive, but it was true after all.


    An Feng was surrounded by the two of them and talked for a long time, and he said honestly that there were no accidents and everything went well, that is, he could recover in about ten days.


    Hearing An Feng''s personal assurance, the stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground. It was worth so many years of worry and waiting.


    Following that is frequent treatment.


    Considering the operation and the reason why the expert group needs to concentrate on developing anti-cancer drugs, the Case team is already training the helpers and gradually reducing their number of appearances. After a few more patients, Case will leave the operating room entirely and return to their laboratory.


    Finally, in terms of service prices, the director of the research center, Joseph Hart, listed some cost information. In terms of the cost of drugs to treat a patient, various drugs do not exceed 100,000 US dollars, which is not much, but this time Sink Mrs. Lay paid a fee of five million dollars.


    Although the drug cost is only one hundred thousand, what about the expert fee? This is an extreme activity of intellect plus brainpower. There are only a few people in the world who can do it, so what''s the problem with five million? And if you are willing to pay, they may not necessarily work. In the future, the expert group will be replaced by his own apprentices.


    The old lady''s five million is equivalent to the benchmark for treatment expenses. Some relevant media reported that the patient information was not disclosed at all, but the Treatment Expenses Research Center officially released it. For the example of curing cancer without any reference, you can��t tell whether it is more or less. Anyway, the practice of medicine has been approved and taxes are paid normally. It��s too late for the local government to be happy. Why would they talk about this matter?


    Facts have proved that even if it is 5 million, there are still a lot of rich people who make appointments, especially when they learn that the research center has started accepting jobs, this trend has blown up in the high-end class��usually the most expensive at the front, and then consider Demand, which will slowly lower the price, is always attractive.


    Due to the lack of manpower, we can only receive 4-5 patients a month.


    So I urgently want to receive treatment before the end of spring, five million is a must. And the ones in the back are naturally cheaper, but the premise is that there is life waiting.


    This kind of personalized therapy cannot benefit the public. Only after the drug is successfully developed can it be promoted to the world at a relatively low price. From An Feng''s point of view, it''s just a small idea at the moment, and it''s only used by rich people. After the sick rich people have been cheated... civilian medicine will be promoted.

 Chapter 176： another plane

    Chapter 176 Another Plane


    (Addition of 532 votes)


    ��


    An Feng encountered a rare busy this week.


    My family lives far away. Of course, the title of "Certificate X" "Fastest Business Jet" is not for nothing, and the flight of more than 600 kilometers is just over half an hour. Start at full speed, and you have arrived before you feel it. Then the research center is working again, and the treatment of the patients has to be checked.


    Even Bazel, who often came to visit his mother, felt a little ashamed.


    Bazel knocked on the door and entered An Feng''s office. Behind him were two people in uniforms of hotel chefs with takeaway lunch boxes in their hands. After he entered, he pointed to the glass table next to the sofa: "Put it here Let''s go." After speaking, the two chefs began to take out the meals from the insulated lunch box.


    An Feng glanced at the table and asked, "This is?"


    Bazel said: "Seeing that you don''t plan to eat out at noon, I happen to be the same, so let''s make do with it. Chinese food should suit your taste."


    An Feng smiled: "Trouble, I''ve been really busy recently."


    Bazel sat on the sofa and said to him: "No matter how busy you are, you must ensure your health. Many young people suffer from stomach problems because they are too focused on work and forget to eat. The loss outweighs the gain. So I advise you to hurry up , while the smell of Chinese food has not dissipated."


    Bazel, who has always been silent, speaks so humanely. How dare An Feng not to show mercy to the baron, so he hurriedly sat down beside him, and looked at it. The spicy chicken and sweet and sour pork ribs are served with white rice ! An Feng swallowed his saliva: "It''s awesome, it smells really good!"


    Bazel also picked up the rice, of course he took a fork. He tried the chicken, then the sweet and sour pork ribs, and praised: "This dish is good!"


    An Feng understands that this sweet and sour pork ribs caters to the taste of Westerners and is sweeter.


    Bazel asked: "Is this supposed to be authentic Chinese food?"


    An Feng said: "This chicken is fine, but the ribs are a bit sweet, and the acetic acid taste that should have been lost."


    Bazel shook his head: "It''s really incomprehensible. I always feel that Chinese food is very complicated. It looks beautiful, but some of them taste strange."


    An Feng smiled: "There are regional differences. If you want to coordinate, you will end up with mutated meals, just like the reason why cheese is not accepted in China."


    Bazel nodded: "I know, there is also the very...strange black egg porridge in China."


    An Feng thought for a while, and felt that Bazel probably wanted to say "preserved egg porridge". He nodded: "Actually, as long as you don''t watch the process, it is also a delicious dish, but after watching the process, you find it a bit unacceptable. You can Think of it as a difference in food culture."


    Bazel said: "So that''s the case, I can understand. Ever since I was hunting in Africa once and saw the locals eating grilled mosquitoes, my mentality has been balanced."


    "What?" An Feng swallowed a mouthful of rice, "Roasted mosquitoes? Are you serious?"


    Bazel wiped his mouth with a tissue and smiled: "I promise, but I suggest you finish eating first, otherwise I won''t be responsible for not being full later."


    After the meal, I chatted with Bazel about a lot of different topics. When we really get along, Your Excellency the Baron is quite interesting��compared to his usual staid image. He also has moments of rapport, and although they are twice the age difference, they have a lot in common.


    Maybe after Mrs. Sinclair''s condition stabilized, Bazel let go of the burden? An Feng ignored the age gap between them, feeling like friends, talking about everything, His Excellency the Baron did not deliberately maintain his image, and even heard some classic complaints from him.


    It''s a bit subversive, he almost said four words starting with F or S.


    An Feng felt that... the former Bazel and him were business partners, but now they are friends. So he didn''t take his work into consideration, and chose to chat with Bazel. From dietary differences to small things in life, to hobbies and habits, hunting, horse raising or swordsmanship, they could talk very long.


    Bazel said: "We may organize an African hunting trip in October this year to experience the freest hunting in the south-central region."


    An Feng is very interested in: "There should be no restrictions on hunting in Africa, right?"


    Bazel said: "There are some restrictions, such as endangered lions and rhinos, and other deer, antelopes or zebras."


    An Feng said: "When the time comes, count me in."


    Bazel smiled: "Of course it''s no problem, the children in the family will also go, put them in the pickup cage, watch the beasts, and increase their knowledge."


    An Feng gave a thumbs up: "This is a good way to exercise your courage!"


    While chatting and laughing, An Feng''s cell phone rang. After saying sorry to Bazel, he put it in his ear to answer: "Hey, Bob, how is the plane?"


    Bob is the director of Bombardier��s western region. Anfeng ordered a Global 8000 business jet half a year ago. Now that he has money, he wants to get it quickly, or take someone else��s order, because as a diplomat, travel No private plane...excuse, full excuse!


    Bob said apologetically: "Mr. An, due to the tight sales of the Global 8000 model, our order has been queued for four years, and the customers have no intention of giving up..."


    After listening to his explanation, An Feng said, "Well, it seems that I have to wait patiently, please."


    After hanging up the phone, Bazel looked at him with questioning eyes.


    An Feng explained: "It''s about the plane. I booked an intercontinental plane. Since I need to go back to China, I want to make it earlier."


    Bazel said: "Private jets really consume patience. Are you Bombardier?"


    An Feng looked at him: "Can you guess it?"


    Bazel smiled: "The name Bob is a bit familiar."


    An Feng nodded: "Yes, the Universal series is very popular recently."


    "If you have enough money, I have other ways to get the intercontinental plane." Bazel said.


    An Feng said: "It should be no problem, I can use the offshore account for consumption as company assets."


    Bazel took out his mobile phone: "That''s good, I recommend Gulfstream to you. They recently released an upgraded version of the aircraft. They just asked me a few days ago if I wanted it."


    "What model?" An Feng asked.


    Bazel dialed a number: "Let me ask."


    He chatted with the people on the phone for a few words, put down and said: "It''s G650ER, ER stands for their upgraded version, mainly improving the width of the cabin, and slightly increasing the range. The green leather machine (bare machine) is waiting. Customer''s final customization, delivery within three months, are you interested?"


    The G650 can fly about 12,000 kilometers. If the ER type increases the width and range, it seems to be a very good choice. Of course, it also means that it will cost another 70 to 80 million to buy a new aircraft, but Anfeng does not. After hesitating, he nodded and agreed, "I want to go and see."


    Bazel talked a few words on the phone, and then said: "The other party said that there is no problem, you can go anytime."


    An Feng said: "Thank you for helping me. Recently, I just have plans to go to China and Europe. It is not economical and troublesome to hire planes frequently."


    Bazel agrees: "It''s really troublesome to hire a plane, and it costs twice as much as a private jet. It''s really not as good as your own plane. If you need it, I can lend you a plane, a medium-sized one like a Gulfstream G550, a large one There are 787-VIP, even the car can fit in it.��


    An Feng was not polite: "If there is a need, I will mention it to you."


    Bazel is generous: "I won''t mind."


    ��


    When An Feng��s special plane flew to the headquarters of Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation in Georgia, he learned that these green leather planes were all for high-end customers. Even if other people had money, they would reply: Sorry, but they need to place an order. Bazel''s great favor is an understatement.


    It''s like asking me to lend my mobile phone and call me.


    After getting off the plane, a special account manager came to receive him and visited several green leather machines in the factory. According to the manager, this is a model produced on the assembly line. Considering the order quantity of G650, The "quasi-spot" that was specially allocated was quickly selected by customers.


    There is currently only one spot left, and Gulfstream is going to give it to Bazel, and finally transfer it to An Feng.


    An Feng looks at the ugly G650ER. In addition to being able to take off normally, its appearance and interior are all starting from zero, which needs to be customized by customers.


    Then sat down with the designer and negotiated on the customization content. Thanks to the customization experience of Global 8000, it was easy to choose the style this time.


    The interior is more high-end, with brown carpets and seats, which looks luxurious. The cabin is divided into three parts. The front part is equipped with two sets of side-by-side sofas and single seats facing each other. In the middle is an area for two pairs of seats with a hidden table for working or eating.


    The rear part has a small bar, the hidden wine cabinet and refrigerator can store a lot of good things, there is also a three-seater sofa on the opposite side of the bar, and two seats facing the direction of the nose, which can accommodate five or six friends Get together for a drink, chat and stuff.


    In terms of appearance, the most classic milky white is used, the wings are sprayed with his own name, and then the belly is painted with local gold lines. When you look up at the sky, you will see a few dazzling golden lines on the fuselage. After landing, the white body will make it low-key again.


    Afterwards, An Feng did not forget to ask Joanna for her opinion, and sent her some design samples, and she chose some styles she liked, and then handed them over to the designers, asking them to make some changes, adding some objects, and Some unnecessary cumbersomeness has been reduced.


    After this design, together with some supporting multimedia facilities, door curtains and the like, it can finally accommodate 18 passengers for intercontinental flights. The total cost of customization and aircraft costs is 75 million US dollars, and it is expected to be delivered in three months. An Feng needs to pay in one lump sum.


    As for the large sum of money, he did not have a big problem. After signing the contract, the buyer transferred the money through an offshore account in the name of GP International, and then the cooperation was completed. Both parties got satisfactory results. An Feng did not stop and arrived in the morning , The plane returned to California in the afternoon.

    PS: In the chapter on Tesla batteries, the cost was calculated as high, so it was revised and the number of batteries was changed to 2000. But it does not affect the reading of most readers.


    If you can��t access Google at home, you have no choice but to find some Chinese information that looks more reliable. The cost of Tesla��s batteries does not exceed 30%. Therefore, it is calculated (the process is not listed, the number of words is too much), the battery cost is between 13,000 and 16,000. The cost in the article is 20,000. In terms of mileage (480 kilometers for lithium batteries and 850 for new batteries), the cost is higher, but it is more affordable. And there are 30 minutes full of high-tech.

 Chapter 177： The proportion of pharmaceutical factories

    Chapter 177 Proportion of pharmaceutical factories


    A few days later.


    The research center��s treatment of Mrs. Sinclair came to an end, and things naturally went smoothly. The goal was achieved without any accidents. After the experts announced that the cancer cells had been completely eliminated, everyone held a small celebration for her. Even though the old lady couldn''t get out of bed because of the surgery, she accepted everyone''s blessings with a smile on her face. The nurses also specially put some flowers in the room, which looked full of vitality.


    After all, no one can ignore the hero of the matter��An Feng.


    The old lady looked at him through the crowd.


    An Feng pulled Joanna over and said, "I''m happy to help you, ma''am."


    The old lady glanced at the children around her, then looked at An Feng, her tone was a little serious: "Although he was very relaxed during the treatment, only a few people could read the tension from his eyes, and only the nurse on duty Only then did I know that he repeatedly checked his work every day until late at night."


    Everyone looked at An Feng with different expressions.


    The old lady continued: "The worry of helplessness is less than one-tenth of what he does behind the scenes. This is the benevolent heart of a doctor, whether it is from the noble perspective of benefiting mankind, or from his feat of bringing me back to the world, I, and each of you, have to thank him!"


    An Feng smiled modestly: "It''s easy."


    Her children put away their smiles and thanked him one after another. Their gratitude was beyond words. Even Bazel, who had always been silent, was sensational and expressed his gratitude with a bunch of words. Feeling everyone''s strong enthusiasm, An Feng felt complacent, and then felt that he should be humble and restrain himself.


    Anyway, he is a coquettish person who accepted all the aura of praise and warned himself to be humble.


    After the incident, An Feng felt that he had a deeper relationship with everyone in the Sinclair family. He was not only an important partner in business, but also a benefactor who saved the lives of their relatives. If it weren''t for his bold and avant-garde ideas, the old lady would still be in pain in torment.


    According to An Feng''s analysis, apart from the impact of cancer, the old lady''s health is still good, she is only in her early seventies, and proper health maintenance methods can make her live more than ten years, and the current medical methods are so developed��especially cheating�� It is not a problem for her to cover herself for ten years.


    An Feng has a lot of small plans, but they are harmless. If he really wants nothing, he thinks he is a fool.


    The old lady still needs to be observed for another four or five days before being discharged from the hospital, but An Feng''s work has been completed, and then there is another plan for the research center: health preservation. This is not just superficial technology, he must first start with chemical technology, and then go deep into biological means to slow down aging and prolong life.


    The latter is an act against the sky, which can make people last forever. There are also disadvantages: after the popularization of technology, people will accidentally become a "sister" who can be a mother... Biological research is very long, An Feng will focus on the easy ones first, after all, there is still a lot of time, and Joanna is still in the most beautiful years middle.


    It is worth mentioning that the lease of the coffee shop on the first floor of the research center building has expired, and the property owner did not renew the contract with them, but gave it to the research center. Afterwards, the second and third floors were also negotiated and appropriate compensation was given to the research center.


    At this point, the entire building has become a research center. The first floor will be built as a reception hall, where ordinary departments will be arranged, and there will be an inpatient department on the upper floor��it is very small, after all, it is not a hospital, but considering the treatment of cancer, six luxurious wards will be added; further upwards will be operating rooms; The lower ones are all kinds of scientific research rooms, the top floor is the boss''s office, plus some laboratories organized according to his requirements.


    After receiving a large amount of funding, the research center will naturally have a new look. As a world-renowned organization, it can''t be justified without a good appearance. In the future, there will be press conferences and the like, all held on the first floor, and security posts will be set up on important floors, and senior security guards from Aegis Security will be hired.


    ��


    The news that the first paying patient was cured spread throughout the world.


    This has aroused heated discussions. One is pure praise, praising the great medical contributions made by the research center, the pioneers of mankind, and the like. The other is very conflicted about the amount, thinking that the five million dollars is a complete robbery, and it is dedicated to using life to make black-hearted money, which should be condemned.


    At any time, things will have opposites. After An Feng read a few reports, is five million a lot? It is indeed a little bit, but it depends on the demand. Even if he offers 10 million, there are still people chasing after him. The current reservations are about to exceed single digits, which proves that this price is not difficult for the rich.


    But this is the matter of Director Hart, An Feng is concerned about another thing: the pharmaceutical factory. Due to the strong medical effect, the Sinclair family also accelerated their plans to compete for the drug market. At present, a pharmaceutical factory must be established first, but there are many details on the proportion of shares or funds.


    The Sinclair family showed full sincerity and sent special personnel to take over the financial statements of Xin Energy and Western Investment Group. The reports of non-listed companies are not released casually, and they are relatively confidential. They can be handed over to An Feng for review. One is trust, and the other is sincerity.


    An Feng was not pretentious either, he summoned his own private team to study the reports of the two big companies.


    An Feng didn''t quite understand the financial stuff, but Hardy Locke and John Adams browsed with surprise. In their words, it was moving from reality to legend. Why? These two companies are representatives of the consortium, through which they can get in touch with the deeper world.


    Seeing them fascinated, An Feng reminded one thing: keep it secret.


    Although Sinclair didn''t explain it, no one wants to talk about this kind of thing.


    At the same time, Matthew Sinclair, who was in charge of the pharmaceutical factory, also began to discuss some strategies with him. Matthew believed that the shareholding ratio of the research center could not be changed, or could be changed, but it was still in the hands of Anfeng. The factory needs them to hold shares, and An Feng only enjoys the share.


    The business is not one-sided. Matthew will give him the shares of Xinshi Energy or Western Investment Group. Now the only thing is to wait for the valuation. How much An Feng thinks, and how much Sinclair can give, how much shares are linked to sales performance, etc. or other more complex protocols.


    This is not like selling the company in the past. An Feng also needs to seriously consider matters of long-term interests.


    ��


    A few days later, the valuation of the financial experts came out.


    An Feng sat and listened to Hardy''s report.


    "Start with Xinshi Energy. It is a non-listed company, mainly engaged in petroleum products, natural gas, etc. It is based in Texas, with an annual turnover of more than 120 billion. This year''s net profit is 12 billion, and the net profit margin is 10%. The profit is very good. .Including fixed assets, accounts receivable and payable, etc., the company is worth about 130 billion."


    An Feng said: "Is this just about energy?"


    Hardy nodded: "Yes, other investment or holding companies, and companies under holding companies, we can''t analyze them in a short time. For example, the value of GP company changes every month, so we can''t estimate it. And They didn��t provide that much information either.��


    An Feng knew that the foundation of Xin''s Energy was very complicated, so he said, "Then you can make a simple estimate?"


    Hardy pushed his glasses and said: "I counted the companies that I hold or invest in, and I estimate that the value of Xin''s Energy will exceed 200 billion."


    An Feng admired: "The total assets are a bit behind some international oil giants, but as an unlisted family business, personal wealth is the strongest."


    Oil giants such as Exxon Mobil, PetroChina or Royal Shell have an annual turnover of more than 400 billion. Among them, Exxon Mobil has the highest net profit margin of 10%, followed by Royal Shell at about 5.5%; as for PetroChina, it is about 1.92% % or so, sell more and earn less.


    (Note: The data is taken from Forbes in 2013)


    Hardy turned the page and said, "Next up is Western Investment Group."


    An Feng listened carefully.


    "Because it is a purely capital-operated company, it is difficult to evaluate. According to the operating profit of previous years, it is about 20 billion, and the valuation is between 200-300 billion, and it may be even higher, because it has shares of American Express Group. , but we do not have a statement from American Express.��


    An Feng nodded: "This one is also good."


    Hardy went further: "The next step is our value."


    "Last year, the market for cancer drugs reached 80 billion U.S. dollars. With reference to the growth rate in the past five years, it should be 85 billion U.S. dollars this year. It is estimated that new anticancer drugs can capture about 80% of the market, so the estimated value is 68 billion U.S. dollars. According to what the other party said, A 55% stake in the pharmaceutical factory is required, which is equivalent to 37.4 billion.��


    "The annual growth rate of anticancer drugs is about 15%. Considering the impact of new energy on the inherent oil market, the growth of Xinshi Energy will slow down, but if GP Energy is included, they will increase again, so the growth rate Maintain around 5%, and the investment group is too affected by the market, and it is estimated that there will be negative growth, so if you replace the shares, you need to ask for a price higher than 37 billion.��


    An Feng didn''t understand so much, so he asked, "Does Xin''s Energy have more prospects?"


    Hardy nodded: "It can be said that natural resources still dominate industrial consumption."


    An Feng began to calculate in his mind. According to the growth rate of anticancer drugs, the Sinclair family wanted to take 55% of the shares, worth about 40 billion. Xin''s Energy is valued at 200 billion. If it replaces its shares, it will cost 20%, and if it goes down, it will be 18%.


    ��


    Two days later.


    Discussing with Matthew again, he also proposed several complicated plans, including the exchange of 15% of the shares, because Anfeng''s anti-cancer drugs were overvalued a few years ago, and it is impossible to occupy the market all at once, and it will take several years Time slowly expanded, and in addition to 15%, an additional 3 billion in cash was paid to him.


    Anfeng was moved when he heard about the cash. It��s not a big problem if the shares go down, but the cash is pure profit, so what if the turnover can reach 80 billion, the profit margin is about 50%��this is the best situation, maybe it��s only 10% , so paying him in cash is equivalent to the net profit that can be squandered at any time.


    There is not much difference between 20% and 15% of Xin Energy. The annual net profit is 12 billion, and the 15% is about 1.8 billion. It is still a good deal to exchange 5% for 3 billion.


    As for Matthew, he is different from An Feng, profit comes second, and improving overall strength is the first choice.


    Two people, one for money, and the other for the future.


    Matthew guaranteed to provide him with US$1 billion in US accounts and US$2 billion in offshore accounts, which means that Xin''s Energy has a lot of tricks to avoid taxes.


    But it is a bit difficult to spend money in offshore accounts, and it can only be spent overseas...and considering that the intercontinental plane is about to be available, overseas consumption is also acceptable.


    After much deliberation, An Feng is still swinging from side to side.

 Chapter 178： take it down! 【Third watch】

    Chapter 178 Take it! ��Third watch��


    There is only a preliminary plan for the shareholding ratio of the pharmaceutical factory, and it will be finalized only after the anticancer drugs appear. There are still many details to be discussed. Even the cost of pharmaceuticals is a factor affecting the transaction price, so the plan cannot be implemented until the end.


    Now the pharmaceutical factory will be established first. According to the agreed share, Anfeng will take 45% first, and Sinclair will take 55%. After the results come out, it will be adjusted again. The name of the pharmaceutical factory is also simple: Xin''s Pharmaceutical Factory. For An Feng, it doesn''t matter, anyway, it doesn''t need to be called "Eggy Pharmaceutical Factory".


    The big things in January are basically done, and the rest is leisure and looking for designers around the world. The Santa Barbara land auction was held in early February, and An Feng, who was determined to win it, had already regarded it as a temporary property in the hands of the government. As long as it is auctioned, it will never be missed.


    Sitting in the car and waiting for Joanna to finish school was a bit boring, so I called my brother-in-law in China after checking the time, it happened to be morning there, so I was very free.


    After connecting, An Feng said: "It''s me, do you still have plans to come this year?"


    The brother-in-law said: "Yes! The child has been thinking about her partner over there and her pony. Recently, she has been asking me if the pony will grow up again. I said no. She asked me why, and finally , I don��t even know how to explain��if I said I would grow up, she would definitely ask why.��


    An Fenghan is one, really tired of dealing with bear kids: "You just have to be more patient, I guess you promise her to go to Disney again and see the underwater world. By the way, how is the business status of the recent car shop? No Bankruptcy was pulled up with a banner, and the door was listening to the radio all day, right?"


    Brother-in-law despised: "I don''t even look at who I am! Don''t talk about bankruptcy, I''m making a profit now! This city is developing well, with spare money in hand, and more and more people are buying cars. Come on, if customers recommend customers, and the brand is good, it will naturally sell well. By the way, there is still some profit, do you want to share half of it with you?"


    "That''s enough loyalty!" An Feng said with a smile, "As long as you can think of giving me half, the profit will be given to you! Let''s develop well, it''s a career anyway."


    Brother-in-law said: "Don''t worry, I will come over in a few days and let you see what a successful person is."


    An Feng smiled: "Okay, I''m looking forward to it. By the way, are Mom and Dad okay?"


    "It''s very good. There are many activities every day. My father-in-law recently participated in a chess competition. I heard that he was shortlisted for the semi-finals. My mother-in-law asked us to watch the game and cheer..."


    Knowing that everyone''s life is very good, An Feng is also relieved, he is afraid that he has money to spend and drink, and is chic and happy, while his family is too poor to live.


    After chatting with Joanna after school, I hung up the phone, went up to her and kissed her lovingly as always, and drove away the Ferrari F50 in the eyes of the crowd.


    Only some comments were left: "It''s another car, I''m so envious!"


    ��


    There is another party in early February.


    To be honest, rich people have a lot of rights and wrongs. Even a low-key rich businessman like An Feng has several receptions, dances, fundraising parties and the like every week. Party, get a few thousand dollars at a fundraiser, and make a name for yourself.


    Now that An Feng''s business card has been changed, only the title of "philanthropist" remains.


    There is a saying that the highest state of business cards is to have as few titles as possible, and the ultimate is no business cards��when everyone knows you, they will naturally no longer need business cards.


    In order to achieve the effect, An Feng is now taking a streamlined route.


    And he cannot be absent from this gathering. It is a big gathering of the core group, and the theme is preparations for the upcoming presidential election this year.


    The location is still in Santa Barbara.


    There are many people this time, including businessmen and politicians. The star figure is Floyd D. Anderson, the pre-appointed Republican presidential candidate. From February to June, he is almost sure to win in the party primaries. After all, there is a Big gang of Republicans and their behind-the-scenes support groups.


    It is customary for An Feng to have friendly exchanges with people from all walks of life. In this big gathering, his status is not the highest, but it is not something that can be ignored. Those who have met him also want to make a good impression on him, so they look familiar.


    It was similar to his situation in St. Kitts, but it was more complicated and high-end here.


    Take the well-dressed Joanna around, let her chat with the ladies, and show off what jewelry her husband ordered, what luxury goods she bought, or a new plane for her family Coming soon, what style the interior will be, and more.


    An Feng got together with the small group again, and the focus was on congratulating Anderson.


    Anderson''s starting advantage is very obvious. Among the two candidates of the Republican Party, he has been determined to be pushed to the front desk as the No. 1 player. In this election, both California and Texas are already the backyard of the Republican Party. California has a large population, so it has the highest 55 votes in the presidential election.


    You know, in the presidential election, more than 270 votes can be elected president.


    With a solid 55 votes, which almost won the first battle, and Texas has 34 votes, which adds up to almost a third.


    What Anderson needs to focus on now is to focus on winning votes in "swing states" in the advertising war after the bipartisan war is over. This time, the groups united by several families will strongly support him and help him obtain as much campaign funds as possible, so the campaign is very promising.


    For this reason, His Excellency the Baron raised his glass to congratulate: "I hope that Anderson will be able to take the lead in the second half of the election and win!"


    He paused, looked at the others, and said, "With our help, take the lead!"


    Everyone gathered together and clinked glasses: "Take it!"


    ��


    After the important supporter meeting, even An Feng, who didn''t care much about politics, was a little bit enthusiastic. Unfortunately, he is not a citizen, and he has no votes, so he can only provide some help��after all, Anderson has quite a few relatives. Some support can be given as appropriate.


    In addition, what An Feng has to win is the land.


    The auction started on February 10th, and An Feng and his assistant John attended the on-site bidding ceremony.


    On the way, John analyzed: "Your biggest opponents in this auction are two real estate developers. They both want to take down this prime location and build a holiday villa. They have sufficient funds. It is estimated that the auction will reach the expected price of 40 million. As for Others are not very competitive."


    An Feng asked: "Are they planning to build twenty or thirty houses?"


    John nodded: "Of course, the land here is notoriously expensive, and only you, sir, dare to use it for private use."


    An Feng said with a smile: "You have to seek some excitement in life."


    John also smiled: "They plan in great detail, but as long as there is a plan, it means that there are limitations, so you can easily defeat them."


    Look at what this said, isn��t it that money can be unprincipled?


    An Feng laughed...but he likes it.


    The car arrived at the municipal building, An Feng got off, and walked into the auction venue in the hall together with others. This time, there were three pieces of land participating in the auction, and the top prize was naturally the 302-acre sea view lot that An Feng valued, with all-weather natural scenery and geographical location. Invincible enough, the government announcement is also a land that is highlighted.


    The auction will start in half an hour.


    At the beginning, it was the first two pieces of land, and some real estate developers came to bid for them. There were relatively few private ones. After all, the land was too large, unless it was like An Feng who had the purpose of building a royal garden. After the auction of the first two lands was completed, the auction of the third land began, with a starting price of 22 million US dollars. Everyone raised their cards.


    The increase was very fast, and it broke through 30 million US dollars at once, and then hovered around 35 million. The main bids were the two real estate developers mentioned by John. There were almost no third parties competing with them. Wait until 36 million The price was about to drop the hammer when John started.


    "36.5 million! Mr. No. 35 bid 36.5 million! Is there a higher price?"


    "37 million!"


    An Feng crossed his arms and turned to look at the two guys who were competing with him. He can now use 60 million US dollars, so no matter how much he competes, he will not fail��the fact is the same, no matter how much they increase the price, An Feng is always a little more than them.


    First, one real estate developer withdrew, and the other persisted for a few rounds. After exceeding the psychological price, he also withdrew. An Feng bought the wasteland for US$42 million, exceeding the expected transaction price by US$2 million. If it is real estate, it means losing a house, no wonder they all gave up.


    To be honest, 42 million, even in high-priced areas like New York, can buy a good mansion, and what An Feng got now is just a piece of land... After the auction, the driver drove them around the wasteland. The coastline is 1.3 kilometers, which is very spectacular. Standing on a cliff 30 to 40 meters high, watching the waves beat the rocks, wash the beach, and enjoy the sea breeze, you will feel open-minded and vigorous.


    "Good location!" An Feng said proudly.


    ��


    After the land is bought, the plan goes to the next step: design.


    It��s not like the Americans, who can build a modular house with a few pieces of wood, and when the typhoon blows, there is nothing left... He needs to be high-end, not short of money, high-end stones are purchased from all over the world, and a certain amount of jade is needed , agate...and the design style must be innovative, so as not to be copycat. It is equipped with a green and comfortable English garden, an artificial lake and a beautiful private beach.


    If necessary, even the basement needs to be well designed, make full use of the land space, build a secret room, a wine cellar, etc., and store some valuables in the secret room... An Feng can''t think of what is precious at the moment, but the wine cellar has many uses, In the future, we can keep the wines of An''s Winery for more than ten years, and celebrate important occasions with a few bottles... There are many plans, including Joanna''s ideas.


    These things are naturally handed over to the secretary.


    Call Angela and ask her to be a designer who is usually good at royal gardens and top residences around the world. This is a big project, and talents are not easy to find. If some design fees are raised, the difficulty should be reduced. An Feng told Angela the idea, as long as it can satisfy him, the money is enough!

 Chapter 179： horse urine incident

    Chapter 179 The Horse Urine Incident


    Two days later, the domestic family reunited again.


    In addition to my sister''s family, my parents also came. They said that there are not many people in the country. After decades of traditional Spring Festival, they are tired of routines, so they come here for a change of taste and to follow the trend... An Feng has always agreed with this kind of free life attitude. If you have money in your pocket, don��t you need to be stupid?


    Everyone lived in SLO, and Joanna didn��t go back to San Rafael after school. Anyway, the plane was fast enough, and the office workers in the big city were still stuck in the road and honking their horns, so she went home to drink tea. But this fast and comfortable life can only be enjoyed by very few people, and its cost is too huge.


    Old John and his assistant Cathy took them home. After being upgraded to a winery, the title of the position must naturally be upgraded. The partner Lin Hai is naturally the "Sales Supervisor", while Old John is the "Production Supervisor". Cathy works very well, and as the supervisor''s assistant, the salary has also increased accordingly .


    After all, An Feng is not short of money, as long as he is happy, it doesn''t matter.


    ��


    After increasing investment, the changes in the vineyard are also obvious.


    First is appearance.


    The mansion on the top of the hill is the landmark building of the vineyard, and it looks quite spectacular from a distance. After Old John took the money, he carried out major renovations on the original basis. First of all, the sides of the uphill road are no longer bare��the ��wild road�� where Anfeng used to drive down the mountain with off-road motorcycles has disappeared, and green grass and flowers have been planted.


    When I drove up, I looked up and saw a wooden signboard of "An''s Winery" erected high at the gate. The iron gate was also repainted, and a mailbox was added next to it. Pushing open the door and entering, the flowers, plants and trees in the yard have been carefully decorated, and the two hounds seem to have become garden guards.


    My mother looked at the brand-new winery and said with emotion: "I haven''t seen it for several months. The changes here are really big. It feels a bit like on TV."


    Everyone agrees, the change is great.


    An Feng said to everyone: "This is what I want! Everyone, please come in! Welcome to the reborn An''s Winery!"


    The house has also been remodeled, removing some youthful objects, laying a brown carpet, adding a red theme, wine red furniture can be seen everywhere, and neatly packaged red wine on the wine rack... From the perspective of visitors Looking at it, it does look like a famous winery.


    Compared with the houses I lived in before, it used to be a traditional home style, but now it feels like it has transformed into a high-end style.


    Brother-in-law admired: "The designer is amazing!"


    An Feng took the credit: "I also have my opinion in it, okay?"


    Joanna laughed: "Nonsense! You put all the work on John and didn''t mention him."


    An Feng smiled, turned his head and said to Old John: "And you, the hero who provided the creative design of the winery, this beautiful place really deserves the artistic conception!"


    Old John smiled: "We have a batch of red wine, do you want to try it?"


    An Feng said: "No problem, we will enjoy dinner together. Don''t forget you, John, I haven''t sat and chatted with you for a long time. Are you free tonight?"


    Old John said, "I''ll be there on time."


    ��


    During dinner, Old John brought back two bottles of the winery''s own wine.


    It is February now. In addition to aging, some of the wines that were drinkable in that year or produced in large quantities have been bottled and are ready to drink at any time. Red wine does not mean that the longer it is kept, the better it is. It takes a long time for aging. After aging and bottling, continue to store for three to five years to obtain the most mellow taste.


    Now Old John opened ordinary wine and poured some for everyone.


    An Feng picked up the wine glass and shook it lightly, ignoring the little girl''s eager eyes for "Coke", he casually said: "Red wine is made with horse urine, children can''t drink it indiscriminately!"


    Xiaoyu has seen both red and white before, but the red one has never been explained to her, and she has never noticed it. Now she looks at him with question marks, and her face is full of disbelief. But seeing that the adults are all serious, even the grandparents who don''t usually lie to her... She began to be a little suspicious.


    An Feng tasted a small sip, the taste was rich, and the aftertaste lasted for a long time. Compared with some red wines worth thousands of dollars that he ordered in Western restaurants in the past��maybe some of them were not ashamed, and because of the boastful halo, even if it was deducted by 50 % effect, it''s worth $500, isn''t it?


    An Feng was very proud. He asked Old John: "How much do you think this batch of wine can score?"


    Old John put down his glass and said with emotion: "This is definitely a high-quality red wine. Several neighbors around have tasted it and are full of praise. Frank has even brewed all the grapes you sold to him with traditional techniques and made them aged. Store it for five to ten years and seal it up as top wine."


    An Feng nodded, not many people present understood it, but it felt very high-end.


    Old John just got to the point: "If you can invite a master wine taster to comment, it is very hopeful that a batch of aged wines will be highly rated."


    An Feng said: "When do you usually start wine tasting?"


    "There is no specific time, generally it depends on the schedule. As long as the red wine is brewed and bottled, you can invite some famous masters to taste the wine and score an authoritative score. We have plans to invite some domestic��"


    An Feng interrupted him: "Why isn''t it world-class?"


    Old John smiled: "The cost in this area is a bit high, and our winery has just been established."


    An Feng didn''t care: "It doesn''t matter, the most famous is Robert Parker, right?"


    Old John nodded: "Naturally, he deserves the title of ''Emperor of Wine''. The industry is used to using Parker Score to compare the quality of red wine."


    An Feng had an idea: "I think it''s him, and the master''s high score is needed to be worthy of the grand press conference I held in May."


    An Feng''s plan is to hold a wine launch conference in May. At that time, he will invite as many public figures as possible, not necessarily all celebrities. Any wine expert, fashionista, etc. can be invited. Leave your name on the signature wall and take photos to promote it.


    Everyone looked at him in amazement, and listening to his description, the scale of this friendship may not be smaller than the press conference of a big winery, right? And An''s Winery is just a newcomer who is about to show up... An Feng looked at them and said solemnly: "You have to gather big names to have an advertising effect."


    Afterwards, An Feng modestly asked his father-in-law for advice.


    Frank has been in this business for more than 20 years. He has a set of experience in press conferences, and he is well-organized. In terms of form and location, he can be divided into high-end and low-end venues, such as bars, wineries or high-end hotels, and the form is noble and glamorous. Model, big-name walk a short section of the red carpet, leaving a style on the stage; or passionate model, give a song and dance performance... An Feng was confused by hearing this, and finally decided to hire a professional planner.


    This is the solution for lazy people, but it is also the most efficient.


    Afterwards, considering the issue of the invitation, he decided that it would be best a few months in advance, so he called friends from all walks of life, first of all, Roger. People in society have a small circle, and everyone knows more or less, so once they shouted slogans, they spread the word to hundreds of people, and everyone they knew came, and some unfamiliar friends were also brought in.


    The special guests of the press conference are not a big problem, and the next step is to ensure the quality of the wine itself. No matter how loud the advertisement is, if the quality is not good, it will fall into mediocrity sooner or later. An Feng hopes to give this batch of wine a good name through word-of-mouth from the master, and then sell them to all walks of life.


    After all, it is a winery named after my surname, no matter what, I should spend some money to change my name.


    ��


    When there are more people, especially when there are children, the house becomes lively.


    After the influence of the environment and parents, Xiaoyu can now use some basic spoken English. Of course, with the help of her little friend, the blonde girl Mia taught her a lot of long and short sentences. There are few neighbors around the vineyard, and there are only a few children, so whenever they have time, they laugh and laugh together.


    Children learn new languages ??at the fastest speed. If they haven��t seen each other for a few months, they can tell you a sentence, and I will give you a general idea. Although some words are still a bit vague, but An Feng listened carefully, it really looks like that ! The environment here is so good, if you stay for a year and a half, you are guaranteed to be proficient.


    Of course children are less interested in learning and more in playing.


    Especially when a few cows raised on the small farm in the garden gave birth to calves, Coke spoiled the children. An Feng has observed that when the calf is just a few months old, it is very cute, its body has not grown, and its performance in all aspects meets the "round and toot" standard, especially it likes to push people.


    The little calf is very interesting. When people shake it in front of it, it will push you mischievously. Sometimes if you don��t pay attention, this guy has to overturn the obstacles in front of you. On the head of one of the calves, the guy bowed his head and began to exert force.


    "Look!" An Feng looked at a few brats who were eager to try, the calf lowered his head and pressed his hand vigorously, his hind legs stretched straight.


    "Uncle (Sir), I want to play too!" said the children.


    "OK!" An Feng stepped aside, and the little calf walked past him proudly, and then he watched the two children come together to "fight the bull".


    An Feng took a mobile phone and recorded a video for them, recording these childlike fun, and when he grows up, he can still look at it and laugh.


    After the kids had had enough fun and the calves were tired, he led the three guys and their pony back. The three little knights turned over and rode on the pony, leading An Feng in running. He waved to Joanna who was taming the horse in the distance, signaling that he was going back to have dinner.


    Back home, the children continued to walk their horses in the yard outside. An Feng walked into the house and heard everyone discussing where to play.


    An Feng made a casual opinion: "How about going to a city in the east, New York or something, for a change?"


    Everyone heard this, and they all have a good feeling about New York. It��s a bit unreasonable not to see the world��s largest city after coming to the United States and spending all day in the West.


    My parents and brother-in-law decided to go to New York this Spring Festival.


    An Feng naturally has no objection. Anyway, he just wants to send them away by plane. Now, from the air to the land, and the sea behind, are all private.


    After chatting about some plans, there was a burst of yelling outside, and Xiaoyu rushed in with a glass cup, which contained some unknown liquid.


    The little girl stood in front of him and handed him a cup: "Uncle, I''ll give you something delicious."


    "What is this?" An Feng smelled a familiar smell.


    "Red wine." The little girl said.


    "This color..." An Feng frowned, brat! This is clearly horse urine, okay?


    Girl, this is going against the sky. When the family members found out about her feat, they had mixed expressions. The elder sister pulled her face: "If you don''t do good things, why use a cup to hold horse urine?"


    The little girl said aggrievedly: "It was what my uncle and grandpa said yesterday. The wine glass is filled with horse urine. Children can''t drink it. I saw that you all drink very little. Today I saw a bear (pony) peeing." , I��ll go pretend so much and come back for you.��


    An Feng was stunned, and turned to look at everyone: "Is this called death if you don''t die?"


    Everyone can''t laugh or cry, you said you want to blame the girl, this joke was made yesterday, if you don''t say it, why don''t you treat red wine like a horse from now on? After everyone laughed, explain to the little girl seriously again, and then translate to her little friend, and the truth came out.

 Chapter 180： advanced customization

    Chapter 180 Advanced Customization


    When Joanna is also free, they will fly to New York on a special plane.


    Private jets come and go freely, fast and comfortable. After spending a few hours chatting, we landed at the airport smoothly. We had already reserved cars in advance. We divided into two teams and drove to the hotel in Manhattan. Since it is to join in the fun, it must be the most lively area.


    Manhattan is undoubtedly the most prosperous center in New York, and the hotel is located around Central Park, where you can experience the unique scenery of dense New York. One side is full of high-rise buildings, and the other side is flat and open. The fusion of the two extreme scenery is extremely eye-catching and fits the theme of the Chinese New Year.


    This trip is mostly for sightseeing, especially to see the exotic Spring Festival with a strong New Year flavor. In New York City, the Spring Festival has become a holiday since 2003, with one day off. There are also some companies that do not have a holiday, but the Chinese in the company have a holiday, and Chinese companies generally have a collective holiday.


    So it is also a good choice to come to New York to celebrate the Spring Festival. The New Year is very strong. Chinatown in Manhattan is the most lively. There are red lanterns hanging high on both sides of a street, and there are various parades to celebrate. Setting off firecrackers and burning fireworks are indispensable. The old, middle-aged, old and beautiful put on traditional costumes and walked around the streets lively.


    The Americans are also very interesting. In order to attract tourists to the United States and increase income, the Empire State Building was dyed red on the night of the Spring Festival��colored lights on the wall surface, red mixed with gold, very traditional. Fifth Avenue also has strong Chinese elements.


    Brother-in-law bought a Chinese newspaper at random, and even gave a red envelope.


    The little girl happily opened the red envelope, but it turned out to be empty... The girl in festive red pouts, holding the empty red envelope with an unhappy expression on her face.


    In the end, An Feng took the bear kids to watch the firecrackers. In addition to a group of Chinese, there were also some foreigners who were curious about traditional culture. They also specially changed into Tang suits, and they handed over to everyone. I don��t know where they learned , looks good, and the Chinese brothers also responded enthusiastically.


    My sister looked around and said, "I feel that this year is more interesting than those in China!"


    An Feng said: "Because there are many people here."


    My sister said: "Not necessarily, even if it is a big city in China, the taste of the New Year is not as strong as when I was a child. It is still as exciting as before. Every house is decorated with lanterns, lanterns and lion dances. The most anticipated programs for the children are either setting off firecrackers or getting red envelopes. Every moment counts."


    An Feng agreed: "Yes, it''s a pity that we have all grown up."


    ��


    In addition to these activities, An Feng accompanied Joanna to several press conferences.


    When it comes to fashion, New York is as famous as Milan, Paris and London. Every February, there will be an autumn and winter fashion week of this year, which lasts for seven or eight days to showcase the trend concepts of brands from all walks of life. Joanna doesn''t blindly pursue fashion, but she likes one link: haute couture gowns. Different from ordinary fashion, it is this year''s autumn and winter fashion released by luxury brands such as Chanel, Dior, and Armani.


    Even noble ladies, their beautiful dresses for various occasions are based on ideas here, or they are tailor-made, and they are nothing more than hiring these famous designers. As Joanna, who often needs to accompany An Feng to attend various high-level social occasions, the demand for dresses is very high.


    The most expensive thing about a dress is the creativity, which usually accounts for 90% of the value, ranging from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands. In principle, ladies only wear it once, and the splendor will not be repeated. in this way. Joanna also pursues uniqueness, and the requirements here are even higher.


    An Feng put down the newspaper, looked at Joanna who was taking off her makeup, and asked, "The latest customized model... so this is to seize the commanding heights of the trend?"


    Joanna nodded: "Of course, I hate bumping into other people''s shirts or shoes the most."


    An Feng shrugged: "It is a brand after all, and it will be mass-produced. How about hiring a few designers to design the most unique dresses for you?"


    Joanna wiped her face with a soft towel, and said, "But the top ones don''t just sell casually, that is, the designers of these brands can make good works."


    An Feng shook his head: "I don''t understand."


    Joanna turned around and said, "Just like the suit I customized for you at One Savile Row last time, although there are also mass-produced ones, it is definitely unique."


    Listening to the "fashionista" explaining this, An Feng understood: "It means that when I have enough funds in the future, I will buy these brands?"


    "What? Why do you always have to jump in your mind?" Joanna came up and jumped on him with a smile.


    An Feng hugged the cat and fell on the bed and said, "Isn''t that? It''s so dignified!"


    Joanna looked at him: "Do you want to put a few diamonds on me to be happy?"


    "Gold can also be considered." An Feng said seriously.


    "Be serious! I''m serious, you care about me beyond the limit, but I can''t give you the same." She pouted.


    An Feng hugged her tightly: "But I don''t think love can be measured by equivalent value."


    Joanna said: "I know my mouth is sweet."


    An Feng stroked her smooth back gently, and smiled: "Not sweet, why do you like to kiss me?"


    Joanna bowed her head and kissed, and then asked, "Like this?"


    "Yes." An Feng nodded.


    ��


    The next afternoon, An Feng and Joanna attended a Versace (Versace) press conference in formal attire. Both haute couture and ready-to-wear are skipped, and as high-end people, they only attend couture gown launches. The person who invited them was a wealthy businessman they met at the previous reception. He heard that he had a shareholding, so the couple sat in the front row and the most conspicuous position over all the celebrities and big names.


    And behind them are said to be big names.


    Where in life is not pretending... Before the official seat, like other celebrities, join hands to appear in front of the poster and pose for a few poses. Joanna asked to be simple, and just stood with An Feng''s arm, the camera clicked, and she left before she had time to capture more of her amazement.


    After coming in low-key, I met the wealthy businessman An Feng knew, shook hands with him, and chatted for a while. The attitude of the other party was very enthusiastic. Obviously, An Feng was the level he wanted to get in touch with, so he was very attentive, and treated them as high-level VIPs, and personally invited them to sit at the seat with their name on it.


    There are indeed a lot of celebrities around, as well as some wealthy daughters.


    But An Feng''s mentality is calm. Whether it''s a big-name star, a political celebrity, or a family consortium, he has seen it all, so it''s not surprising. What''s more, he is so rich and has such a deep background. There was a movie star he liked.


    Shortly after An Feng was seated, the lights on the scene dimmed, and the highlights were concentrated on the catwalk. There was a soft music playing, and then a tall, expressionless supermodel wearing various dresses appeared. With this height and high heels, it is indeed a standard hanger, so you can wear it casually.


    An Feng''s focus is on various female models. This press conference is interesting. Most of the custom-made dresses are very luxurious, highlighting the advantages of women''s bodies. Joanna looks at all kinds of beautiful dresses and thinks what she should change to look better. ��in the end there is something to be gained for both men and women.


    After a round of releases, Joanna said, "I saw two good ones."


    An Feng knew the meaning: "Take it later."


    Joanna smiled and continued on the stands, this time there was a second round of releases.


    After appreciating these two haute couture releases, which can be called a visual feast, An Feng has learned a lot: Ladies'' clothes are very profitable, and a few pieces of fabric can be sought after casually; designers sometimes make funny comparisons, and those dresses If you don''t change it, one-third of them don''t believe that someone dares to wear it.


    But the overall is still very good.


    So I dug up the original joke: buy the brand.


    He admitted that half of the starting point is Joanna, and the dress must not be different, so it must be unique, but there are very few designs of this one, and it is usually sold out. What should I do? The most direct way is to buy all the brands and let the designers design them specifically for the wife of the boss.


    Buy it, let me see if you dare to repeat it?


    The other half... is the factor of spending money. It is obviously not a good idea to keep too much money in the bank and wait for depreciation-now you are poor, but you will still have it in the future. Although he also has investment projects, but in the case of his own development, the cost consumption is very small. Unlike other high-tech companies, technology research and development are dedicated to burning money... so the distributed profits can be used for other things. The luxury industry has always been worthwhile. investment.


    Joanna shook her head and said, "Luxury brands are very valuable, like Chanel, which is worth 5 billion. Even if you want to buy it, they may not necessarily sell it."


    An Feng said poorly: "They will definitely not sell it if I pay 5 billion, but if I pay 6 billion to buy 51%, they will definitely kneel and lick it!"


    Joanna found his statement unassailable.


    I''m afraid he is one of the very few in the world��even the rich and royal families in the Middle East dare not say that they spend billions of dollars, and the purpose of buying a luxury brand is to design clothes for their wives.

    (552 votes.)


    ��


    Leave the order and Joanna''s proud figure data, and then wait for the dresses to come to your door beautifully... These three sets cost more than 40,000 US dollars, and it can basically be concluded that they are disposable consumables. For a suit, you can wear it for a long time �� According to An Feng, who has been at least ten times, this is called a prodigal.


    But it doesn''t matter, the wonderful and eye-catching defeat is worth the money.


    An Feng really paid attention to it, maybe he will still be short of money in a year or two, but after that, he should encounter a situation where he has money and has nowhere to spend it. Apart from the occasional need for "self-realization" - that is, charity, investment Some luxury brands are not necessarily a waste.


    Try to beautify your reasons... An Feng told himself.


    The family spent a good exotic holiday in New York, but An Feng and Joanna mainly enjoy the high-quality life, while the family members are visiting, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Governor''s Island...the famous scenic spots are all gone. Even though it was tiring, it was full of rewards.


    An Feng was lazy, so he didn''t join their play team, but he also had other entertainments. When he came to New York, he naturally had to visit his friends. Matthew Sinclair was the first choice. Although every time I met him in California, he felt like a resident of the West, but in fact he lived in New York.


    is located on Long Island next to Queens. The helicopters of those financial giants who go to work in the high-rise buildings in Manhattan usually take off from Long Island, and because of this, this place has become a concentration place for the rich and famous. As a super rich man, Matthew couldn''t help getting together.


    From the perspective of the helicopter, Matthew''s home is quite regular-compared to her mother''s luxurious style. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, it occupies a lake, with a vast green space and a tennis court, and a helipad is specially set up next to it. A big "H" is particularly conspicuous.


    The helicopter stopped on it.


    Matthew and his wife came out to greet him. After getting off the plane, An Feng hugged him warmly: "Your place is really good, you have occupied all the good seats!"


    Matthew said modestly: "I can only say that I came early, and the others were a step late."


    An Feng said: "Oh, just as low-key as your brother!"


    Matthew laughed, Bazel really didn''t like to express himself.


    After greeting each other, enter the house as a guest. The interior design of the house is relatively trendy, with strong color contrast. Joanna looked around and admired it: "The layout is really beautiful, the colors are bright and energetic, Catherine must like it very much, right? The designer must have put a lot of thought into it."


    Matthew''s wife, Christina, smiled and said: "Actually, I designed part of it and revised it five years ago. The theme should cater to the children''s preferences."


    "So you are still a designer?" An Feng said.


    ��A little part-time in college,�� Christina said. An Feng opened his eyes. As the wife of a super rich man, she has always been very low-key and well-behaved, but she is not as good as Joanna''s slightly expressive personality. To be precise, she should be Joanna twenty years later. youthful vigor.


    The maid served some desserts and fruits, and they ate while discussing the topic of house decoration. Last time Matthew said that he had plans to build a mansion in England.


    Matthew smiled: "The castle I told you last time has actually been changed by Christina more than a dozen times. No matter how I change it, it can''t add a lively style, and the space is too wide. Overthrow it and start over again. This time it is estimated to be a manor-style mansion."


    An Feng admired this perseverance: "You guys are so leisurely, if it were me, I would definitely not have the heart to cancel a plan that I have been thinking about for several years."


    Matthew glanced at Christina, held her hand and said, "We have a lot of time, and what we enjoy is the process of giving together, the result is secondary."


    They clasped their fingers and looked sweet.


    Joanna nodded in agreement: "This is the attitude of life, don''t be dominated by time."


    Matthew issued an invitation: "Speaking of leisure, do you have time to watch a polo warm-up match? It will be tomorrow morning, in Nassau County not far from here."


    An Feng looked at Joanna. In fact, it doesn''t matter where you go, it mainly depends on her schedule.


    She nodded, and An Feng said, "No problem, we will attend."


    ��


    There is a well-known polo field in Nassau County, and polo games are usually held in summer and autumn when the temperature is relatively high. Although it is only spring, it cannot stop the enthusiasm of polo lovers. Before coming here, I heard that Matthew likes these sports. An Feng has seen them before. He is very good at equestrian.


    As far as polo is concerned, it should have originated in China and was called "Jiju" in ancient times, and then flourished in Europe. This feeling is actually similar to the history of football. Polo is especially popular in the UK. It is said that equestrianism is an aristocratic sport, while polo is a king''s sport.


    Joanna introduced: "Official polo games are very expensive. There are 4 players in each team, but it consumes a lot of horses. A horse needs to be changed every two games. Therefore, each player must reserve at least 6 players. There are as many as 12 war horses, and the team has to raise 48 precious warm-blooded horses.��


    An Feng said: ��I have heard jokes on the Internet, saying, ��You can play golf with an annual salary of 20,000 U.S. dollars, but you can play polo with an annual salary of 20 million U.S. dollars��.��


    Joanna shook her head: "When it comes to sports, F1 and football only burn money. Polo is very small, but because of the small number of people, it will appear that private expenses are very high."


    An Feng understood: "There are only four people in the team, and the average is really high."


    Joanna continued: "Of course, very few rich people who play polo are professional athletes, so the game can be shortened to four quarters, and 8 people can prepare 16 horses. But it is not something that ordinary families can play, from equestrian training to the following It will take at least three years to coordinate horses to fight."


    "Ladies play polo less, right?" An Feng asked suddenly.


    Joanna smiled: "It''s a little less, because this is a gentleman''s sport, but it''s not like there are no women''s teams. In addition, the reason why women don''t watch football...you will understand."


    An Feng was puzzled. When he arrived at the polo field, which was the size of 9 standard football fields, he immediately knew the reason: this was nothing more than a top-level social occasion moved outside. Men wear simple clothes, suits and leather shoes. They mainly watch the football, but the ladies are different, as grand as they are! If you''re not afraid of being loud, you''re not��there are brightly colored morning gowns and innovative top hats everywhere.


    Joanna solves the mystery: "The men sweat on the court, while the women compare themselves off the court."


    An Feng understood: "No wonder! This is a rare occasion where you can compete in the open air. If you wear a sportswear, I am afraid that you need a lot of self-confidence."


    Joanna smiled and straightened the hat on her head, and took his hand to enter the arena.


    No wonder she was dressed so grandly today, and even chose a hat and jewelry specially... An Feng and Matthew met, and they came to the open auditorium together.


    Someone served them champagne, Matthew said: "There are not too many people in the warm-up friendly match in spring, most of them are senior fans, and the atmosphere is not enough."


    An Feng looked around. Although there were not many people, they were all dressed in various dresses. I am afraid that after the start of the competition, people''s attention was not on the eight contestants who were fighting against each other, but on these people dressed in various luxurious dresses. My own women, plus those who like polo, are mostly rich and rich��this small group of people will definitely spend a lot of money on their wives, because this is also a man''s face!


    Joanna asked: "Matthew, do you have any plans to play?"


    Matthew shook his head: "I''m just an ordinary hobby. I play occasionally. I don''t have enough time to train. I''m not as free as the princes."


    Joanna explained to An Feng: "In the UK, this sport has been sought after by the royal family, including Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry, who are all good polo players."


    An Feng understands, no wonder it is said to be the king''s sport, these princes and crown princes are all keen on it, and those nobles can''t praise this sport to the sky?


    After the warm-up match started, eight players from the two teams wore professional equipment, rode on majestic horses, held T-shaped bats, and started a fierce battle. An Feng is also a horse lover, but if he really wants to play this kind of sport that not only tests himself, but also coordinates the horses, he is really not confident.


    The speed and intensity of polo are by no means comparable to ordinary sports. The horseshoes fly, the club sweeps the ground, and even some green grass is swept up. Where the horses step, usually there will be pieces of overturned turf . There are eight quarters in a game, and by the time of the intermission, the playing field is no longer level.


    Matthew drank the champagne in the glass, stood up and said, "It''s time to play!"


    An Feng was puzzled, and Joanna explained: "The audience can also play and interact. There is a five-minute intermission, and we can go in and step on the turf together!"


    It��s a lot of fun, and probably the only game where the spectators can interact. Many gentlemen and ladies joined hands to find the turf dug out by the horseshoes, put them back in place, and then stepped on them with their feet, which naturally left a lot of laughter.


    Joanna, who was walking in front, found a piece of turf, turned around and said to them: "Gentlemen! Come and move the turf back!"


    Naturally, the lady would not move the turf by hand. An Feng and Matthew were very happy to step forward and move this large piece of turf back to the original position where it flew out. , but also have the pride of contributing to the players, so naturally they will be happy.


    In spring when the weather is still a little cold, you can exercise your body, enjoy the sunshine, and walk hand in hand on the field together. This time, since it was not a regular competition, the organizer gave a long tour time, like An Feng, just strolling on the lawn holding hands with each other. Some people also took the opportunity to meet other friends and chat with each other, and there were also single women who got together and were competing for their "top view".


    Joanna said while walking: "The Royal Ascot in June is the most grand horse race in the world, where the low-key nobles gather together, and the Queen attends with a new look every year, and also attracts a large number of well-dressed ladies. Racing season is the equivalent of outdoor haute couture.��


    An Feng asked: "I guess, you also want to appear in a very good look in June?"


    Joanna laughed: "I can''t fool you."


    An Feng patted his chest: "Don''t worry, our new plane will arrive at that time. Flying to the UK is just a matter of falling asleep for a few hours. I guarantee that you will make your appearance on the stage and be more dazzling than the princess. Steal their limelight and tell them, Give the lens to the young people!"

 Chapter 182： expansion plan

    Chapter 182 Expansion Program


    After a few days in New York, An Feng and Joanna returned to California first.


    Both of them have things to do. Joanna needs to attend some school activities, while An Feng is going to Texas to continue working as an elementary school teacher... He said earlier that he wanted the research team to develop a new chip architecture. It''s not too difficult. Under his step-by-step guidance, the research and development team has made a huge breakthrough.


    He continued to construct the details with the technicians, and completed the theory in the eyes of everyone in amazement. In the eyes of outsiders, he is like a god. Countless processes can be completed with only brains, hands? Nothing! Almost all the people in the GP company who came into contact with him had this kind of frustration.


    And magic is not a flash in the pan, almost all advanced theories are proposed by him, from graphene, to batteries, chips, composite materials... If the process is not completed by the R&D team, I am afraid he is really a god. The only thing that made them "comfortable" was that his hands-on ability was terrible.


    After An Feng verbally instructed them in some details, he returned to the office and let these guys immerse themselves in the joy of completing major technologies by hand... As for the poor hands-on ability, he was completely lazy on purpose. Appropriately high-profile, occasionally low-key, the name of a cross-border expert is too exaggerated.


    After burying his head in sorting out some drawings, his assistant Eve reminded him: "Mr. An, there is a meeting in the company in fifteen minutes, which will be chaired by Mr. Hawley."


    "I see, let me know in ten minutes." An Feng nodded.


    Ten minutes later, he showed up in the conference room with his assistant, and all the eyes were on him. They had heard that the founder of the company had come and gone without a trace. The leadership of the company had changed batch after batch. I am fortunate enough to witness the true face, I really look forward to the stars and the moon that is rare to see.


    An Feng glanced at all the high-level executives present, except for CEO Hawley and the other two executives who could call out their names, no one else had seen them at all. Being watched by a group of men and women sitting upright, An Feng was complacent, but on the surface he maintained the seriousness that a boss should have.


    After he sat down, Eve also sat down beside him. Benjamin Hawley glanced at him, nodded slightly in his direction, and started the meeting.


    There are a lot of small things and big things to talk about, but there are two main things: release one or two concept phones using graphene chips before the start of this year''s North American Electronics Show; the second is the establishment of GP Electronics, which is arranged After the electronic exhibition, use the accumulated popularity to make money.


    Hawley said: "The North American Electronics Show has a huge influence. Every year, electronics manufacturers from all over the world participate in the exhibition. At present, our products are positioned in the enterprise server and minicomputer market. As for the home microcomputer, due to the time required for research and development, it cannot be listed as a priority for the time being. .��


    An Feng has also learned that cooperation with IBM has the power to use the POWER architecture for the time being, but to be honest, the relationship between Intel and them is not very good for microcomputer chips, and it is definitely difficult to cooperate with the obvious behavior of smashing the market. The new architecture is currently being worked on, so there is no super chip for the microcomputer for the time being.


    Speaking of IBM, it��s quite a back-and-forth. It was good at developing graphene chips, but it was completely surpassed by another unknown small company. All the funds they spent were wasted, and they even gave up the market to rookies. Just wanting to be the big brother to save face won''t do, he has a strong background.


    But this is unavoidable... It can only be said that Qianlang died on the beach.


    Hawley pointed to the projection screen and said proudly: "The data listed above shows the recent search interest and coverage of graphene chips. Although it has not been officially released, the revelations of some official social accounts have whetted the appetite. If The demonstration of the chip is successful, and the establishment of GP Electronics will not cost a penny, and we will have sufficient funds to build a chip factory and choose a base."


    Eve explained appropriately in his ear: "Compared to the financing speed of super batteries, GP Electronics is expected to have a slightly lower valuation this time. The current price negotiated by IBM is maintained at 35 times."


    An Feng fully understands that due to the architecture, compatibility and other factors, the chip is of course not as good as the battery that can be used when it is fully charged, but its potential has also doubled dozens of times, comparable to the popularity of the company''s listing. It also shows that everyone still attaches great importance to the future.


    Hawley continued: "We need to do a good job of publicity and make more use of the Internet to promote our new technologies..."


    Hawley��s starting point is to improve the gold-absorbing ability of GP Electronics, hoping to be able to compete with super batteries, but the latter��s price is 70 times that of horror, and GP Electronics may not be able to do it in a short time... An Feng has heard a lot, and it��s all about how The marketing strategy is straight to sleepy.


    In short, he only needs to know that Hawley and the management have done a lot of planning, and they have endless ideas on expanding the business. It''s not a big problem, he can rest assured to wait for the result.


    After dealing with the GP company, fly back to California.


    ��


    After resting for a few days, An Feng actually received a call from Khalid.


    The Arab prince really came to the United States. He spent a few days in Florida in the east, and then went to visit Matthew. Unfortunately, he didn''t have time to come to the west.


    "I have to go back to China to deal with things in a hurry, so I don''t have time to visit you. Maybe next time, if you come to London in June and July, I will definitely entertain you well." Khaled said enthusiastically.


    An Feng said: "It''s okay, I also have plans to go to London in summer."


    Khalid said: "Then we will meet in London. And the bodyguard service you provide is very good, thoughtful and hidden. This trip is very reassuring."


    An Feng didn''t know about it.


    After chatting for a while, after hanging up the phone, Khaled mentioned that he became interested in Aegis Security.


    The last time he invested in a security company and arranged for Gu Li to be the general counsel, he didn''t care about the business, and he didn''t know how the current development was. The business volume has increased steadily, and internal reforms have continued.


    For this reason, he chatted with Guli online.


    In the video image, Gu Li is actually dressed in a military uniform and looks very imposing. An Feng joked: "Did he develop into a PMC in the end?"


    Gu Li grinned: "If you want to get to this point, it is not difficult. The company has manpower and connections, but the funds are not sufficient. I am currently modifying the company''s training methods to make professional bodyguards pay more attention to their own strength. Door Syke has also adjusted departments and is streamlining the organization."


    An Feng nodded: "The two bodyguards last time were very good."


    "They are the elite of the secret service team, and there are many similar talents in the company, with great potential. After training, they will definitely be excellent bodyguards in the future."


    An Feng said: "If you want to expand the scale, funds are essential. If the plan is suitable, I can still provide funds."


    Guri thought for a while, and honestly said: "I talked with Mensek, and we both have some ideas."


    "Let''s listen to it." An Feng said.


    "We plan to form a quick response team for support in emergency situations. The tools used are mainly fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters. In emergencies, such as valuables being robbed, VIPs being blocked, the quick response team will Can respond as quickly as possible.��


    An Feng said: "It''s a very good idea. If it can be developed abroad in the future, neighboring Mexico or South America, etc., the rapid response team will also be very useful."


    Guri continued: "In addition, I plan to set up a security advisory system, that is, to provide training for the army and the police, but certain equipment is required, ranging from aircraft to special vehicles. The business can be contracted to some regional police and small countries'' armies. quality training."


    An Feng also agrees with this point: "It is said that those retired American soldiers cannot adapt to the life of ordinary people, so let them live like this and contribute to society."


    After talking about some details, Gu Li strongly invited An Feng to go to Arizona to see their remodeled training base and new bodyguard team. The hospitality was hard to come by, so An Feng flew a special plane and spent an afternoon watching the performance. It''s not bad, the base is now equipped with helicopters and wheeled assault vehicles, and the drills are like regular troops. They are even used as bodyguards, and it is more secure to send them to the battlefield.


    After watching, after some consideration, An Feng invested another 20 million in the company in the name of GP International, increasing his shareholding ratio to 60%. The investment of this money also provided sufficient development funds for the company to create a rapid response team and a security advisory system.

 Chapter 183： High-tech toys 【Third watch】

    Chapter 183 High-tech toys


    In March, An Feng changed his job direction.


    Colin Hoffman, the R&D director of the robot company, obviously did not disappoint him. In just a few months, the second-generation exoskeleton has already taken shape. After all, that is the task of the third generation, and now the main focus is on the second generation.


    Hoffman''s work is concentrated on the upper body part. According to An Feng''s plan, this is 50% of the overall work. The beginning is the most difficult. I thought it would take half a year, but this silent guy has repeatedly refreshed An Feng''s understanding of human geniuses. Awareness��this guy''s brains are too good to use!


    An Feng did it himself, and he didn''t have the patience to test it dozens or hundreds of times.


    Hoffman enjoyed the process.


    It would be very pleasing if he was like a normal person in life, but unfortunately things cannot be perfect, except for professional content, Hoffman is just a super-long nerve reflex arc, a boring gourd and a nerd who doesn''t understand life.


    An Feng joined the research work in order to speed up the research and development. To his credit, this was one of the few instances where he was willing to actively participate in the work.


    Different from the previous graphene and cancer cells, it is his ideal to have an exoskeleton and several robot pets who understand human nature. When other things stabilized, he became a standard office worker, sending his wife to school every day, going to work at nine o''clock, and returning home at three o''clock in the afternoon...and so on for two weeks.


    In addition to exoskeletons, the company has also established research groups such as bionic machines, pet machines, and flying machines. Although the speed of exoskeletons is the fastest, other groups are not slow to progress under An Feng''s tips or guidance. Recently he received a new toy: a quadrotor horizontal coaxial aircraft.


    It is the size of two palms, has four center-symmetrical rotors, can accept wireless commands, is equipped with a high-energy battery specially customized by GP Energy, and can fly for five hours. Record video up to 2TB.


    The control terminal can be applied to a variety of devices, which is equivalent to a multi-platform APP, which can be used on mobile phones and tablets. The control is just like playing games, just tap your finger, but it requires a certain bandwidth to receive video images. When you are far away from the signal tower, you can only downgrade to SD video.


    An Feng is now using the tablet to control the aircraft, and the content of the tablet shows the scenery outside the robot company��aerial. Not HD, but the zoom is good enough for him to make out the text on street signs, or the license plate number of a vehicle. Switch modes, and you can also record and take high-definition pictures at the same time.


    Click, a car passing by the robot company was photographed, the driver was enjoying picking his nose, his expression was weird, An Feng retched a few times, and deleted the high-definition picture... Sometimes, these too powerful technologies It is not a good thing, it is beautiful to be able to ignore it.


    An Feng controlled the aircraft to fly farther. Its controllable radius is about 3 kilometers, and its ceiling is 300 meters. When the aircraft floated to the fifth floor of an office building, he found a man bending over his desk. Busy girl, standard skirt and uniform, round buttocks.


    "Hey, I found a beauty!" An Feng laughed, but the disadvantage is that it can''t make a sound, and it can''t project text, otherwise, you can tease the beauty. He put down the tablet and recorded the defects on the side. Both voice and projected text are necessary, and information can be transmitted when it is critical.


    Looking at the beauty is not the intention. After recording the defects, An Feng controls the aircraft to turn back.


    "The flying speed is still too slow." An Feng muttered, the camera captured Hoffman scratching his head, and the aircraft shook in front of him to show its presence.


    Hoffman looked up, then lowered his head and wrote on the paper. The paper stood up, and it read: Can''t collect sound, it will always be a half-finished product!


    "Bastard!" An Feng scolded with a smile, letting the aircraft team know that the fruits of hard work are evaluated in this way, and see if they will hit you with a sack at night.


    Hoffman continued: The arm''s power feedback is in trouble.


    An Feng raised his hand to look at his watch, he was about to leave work, but if he refused, this guy would have to struggle all night... An Feng let the aircraft land, picked up his suit jacket, put it on, and ran downstairs to the warehouse. The converted warehouse has become the general base of Hoffman and his "robot army".


    The second-generation robot arm is indeed finished, but there is a problem with force feedback.


    For example, when shooting a gun, holding the pistol in one hand and firing, the arm will be forced backwards. If it is in a normal state, An Feng''s strength is enough to offset the recoil and keep the muzzle stable. But when wearing an exoskeleton, the computer mistook the backward force for a body movement and responded quickly.


    This leads to, after firing a shot, the arm movement will make the muzzle point to the sky, which is very exaggerated.


    An Feng and Hoffman have to overcome the difficulties at present, which means that they need to design more dense sensors to collect muscle movements, feed them back to the computer thousands of times per second, and let the computer quickly judge which movements are autonomous, What is involuntary, and then give accurate feedback.


    Hoffman said: "I tried all the silicon chips, and the calculation speed can keep up, but the energy consumption is too high; control the energy consumption, but the calculation will not work."


    "Silicon technology is not good enough, let''s use GP''s experimental product." An Feng said.


    Hoffman nodded: "This is a good direction!"


    Fortunately, they have good innate conditions, have enough powerful graphene computers, and have sufficient super batteries. They only need to work **** information feedback, and sooner or later they will solve the problem... After several days of research, the newly designed chip was added to the exoskeleton arm, and the Feng wears it again.


    In order to reduce weight, the material of the exoskeleton should be made of carbon fiber or aerospace alloy as much as possible, which requires lightness and firmness at the same time. He sat quietly while two technicians fitted him with exoskeleton arms. Now this exoskeleton is very dexterous. It mainly has a hydraulic and electronic hybrid booster system, which is the key to strength. Of course, there are also booster systems on the small arms and fingers.


    Just the machine that is attached to his right hand has more than twenty sets of power assist systems, the largest is the exoskeleton that simulates the human triceps and biceps, it is powerful; and the smallest is five. Fingers, the extension and flexion of each finger is provided with corresponding assistance.


    This means that no matter what the action is, even picking the nose, the effort is only one-third, or even one-tenth of the original.


    It took ten minutes to complete the installation. The system energy is provided by the battery pack on the back. The battery is not ordinary. It is specially made by GP Energy. The machine works more than 30 hours.


    Hoffman took a few steps back and said, "The actual wearing test is ready."


    An Feng stood up slowly. Since he didn''t have all the exoskeleton equipment, he felt that the weight was on his right hand. It was not too heavy, although it was quite big. Because he was willing to spend a lot of money, the total weight was only a little over three kilograms. Feng tried to raise his arm, and this time the feedback was very sensitive.


    "It feels... better than last time, and the feedback is faster." An Feng said, judging with the naked eye alone, it is impossible to tell the difference, and only through wearing can you feel it through subtle changes. An Feng took a few steps. The usual practice is the heavy object session, a 50kg iron box.


    There is no iron hook this time, relying entirely on five fingers and biceps. The fingers lightly touch the grip, with a little effort, the fingers are tightly closed together, with only half of the usual strength, the grip is already tight, and then lifted up - no pressure. He changed his movements, straightened his arms, and lifted heavy objects flat-this extremely tested the computer''s feedback speed, but it was still fast.


    An Feng said without panting: "It feels like it''s only about ten kilograms."


    "To more complex movements." Hoffman said.


    An Feng''s next challenge is to fill the balloon with air. Wearing an exoskeleton to play with balloons is completely opposite to normal. The computer feedback force is slightly increased, and the balloons will explode. Last time, more than a dozen exploded... An Feng carefully touched the balloon, held it with open palm, and gently pick up.


    An Feng looked at the balloon in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.


    "The data is very good! Let''s have some brisk movements!" Hoffman recorded on the computer. The other researchers have different expressions, after all, there is only one set of models.


    It is the suit worn by the boss. Because it is tailor-made, the length of the arm and the length of the finger are all the data of Anfeng, and others cannot wear it. Therefore, its success or failure is related to the future of the machine, including millions of Is the research and development expense a waste of money or a grand slam.


    An Feng obviously also had full confidence in this set of expensive arms. He grabbed the balloon and slapped it upwards��the first time, the balloon lifted into the air easily. If it didn''t explode, he threw it again, and then grabbed it with other very awkward movements... After doing this more than a dozen times, the most sensitive details did not go wrong, and the balloon was still safe and sound in his hand.


    It was obvious that Hoffman also breathed a sigh of relief: "Very good! The computer data are all within the error value!"


    "Come on to the next test."


    The firearms session was specially requested by An Feng, and a small underground shooting range was specially opened for this purpose��because the San Jose area laws are very strict on gun control, they can only act in a low-key manner as required. In the underground shooting range, An Feng loaded a Glock pistol.


    Raise your hand, aim the muzzle at the target ten meters away and fire until the entire magazine is emptied. The high-speed camera records every movement of him. The 10,000-frame camera means that it can decompose the bullets sprayed out of the gun chamber, Super slow motion of gas and flames spreading around.


    In these slow motions, the swing of An Feng''s arms was kept to a minimum, and the recoil of the firearm tried to affect An Feng''s movements, but the sensors and the sensitive computer finally cooperated closely this time, allowing every voluntary movement to be fed back , involuntary is ignored.


    The researchers have joy written all over their faces, and they know what it means.


    After An Feng emptied the magazine, he skillfully unloaded the empty magazine and exclaimed: "It''s so powerful, I feel that this machine is the same as my own arm, and I can''t tell whether it''s me or the machine that''s working. It has been greatly improved, and it is already a success!"


    An Feng has information in his head, so he knows what is success and what is a semi-finished product.


    The feeling is right this time! After the left arm is finished, the spine and the legs are done next��they are much easier than the arms, so the arms take up 50% of the workload. As long as the difficulties of the arms are overcome, the future work can be done by analogy. More time-consuming.


    After the full completion, the beggar version of Iron Man with bones and no armor will be available.

 Chapter 184： fire up the hill

    Chapter 184 Fired on the mountain


    When An Feng was working in San Jose, the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis was also looking for high-quality and cheap equipment according to his advice. An Feng''s request is very simple - enjoyable. He doesn''t care how advanced or powerful the weapon is, the only thing is that the US dollars are thrown in, and the shells sound loud when they are fired.


    Finally, after negotiation, the seller chose China. China��s foreign trade equipment is famous for its high quality and low price, such as tanks. The foreign trade type 85 tanks can be compared with the third generation tanks, but the price is only half of them or even lower; the tungsten alloy for filling The Type 96 tank with armor-piercing bombs can penetrate the depleted uranium armor of M1A1, except that its own protection ability is a bit weak...but even the so-called "impenetrable" M1A2 was abused by landmines and anti-tank missiles in Iraq. So thick armor is sometimes not necessarily better than running fast.


    The two countries have just established diplomatic relations, and it is easy to discuss some things. St. is also refreshing. In recent years, international arms sales, especially to Asian and African countries, have been particularly difficult to pay. The most classic is Russia. It is estimated that the more than 100 billion bad debts sold to Iraq in the former Soviet Union era cannot be recovered. came back.


    China also has this kind of thing. African countries are poor. If you sell it to him, he may not be able to pay it back when he sells it. But now it is different. Sheng has the support of local tyrants. There is no need for credit or cash on delivery. Ten million U.S. dollars will be given to you first, and your country can decide what to give.


    An Feng is very aware of this point. Although 10 million yuan is not much, it is definitely not much at the exchange rate of 60 million yuan. Norinco sold hundreds of millions of arms to Africa, and it may not be able to recover the money within a year or two. So cash payment is very popular, and because of Sheng''s big belly, they also showed the demeanor of a big country.


    That is, the issue of price is second, and the main thing is to make friends.


    What An Feng pays attention to is ammunition. A hundred guns only have a hundred bullets, which is definitely not as good as a gun with a hundred bullets. This is the reason why China sold them two Type 85-3 tanks, which are a small amount of foreign trade stocks. There is also a Type 96 tank that is the same as the Type 85. The Type 96 is more advanced and is known as the "quasi third generation". There are two WMZ551B wheeled armored transport vehicles, which are amphibious, and they can also play cross-sea landing operations on islands in the future... An Feng said that he plans to use St. Kitts Island as a gathering place for "WarGames".


    These five armored vehicles cost only 3.5 million US dollars. In the United States, I am afraid that they can barely buy an M1A1. If the five armored vehicles are lined up in a row to bombard the M1A1, the winner must be the one with the largest number. In the other account, 4 million is used to buy ammunition, and the rest is used as transportation costs or... site fees.


    An Feng pretended not to see it. After all, if he wanted to have fun, he couldn��t do without a venue. He feels that ammunition is the most affordable. There has been no war in China for a long time, and the backlog of ammunition is very serious. A lot of ammunition is destroyed every year. Destruction refers to detonation, not shooting.


    It can be seen that An Feng bought ammunition here to help them clean up their inventory.


    However, due to the long distance, the goods cannot be transported by transport plane, and only freight ships can be arranged, which still needs to wait for some time. During this period, Sang Qi marked out a part of the island as a military shooting area. In fact, there are people living along the coast, and there are no ghosts in the interior.


    When An Feng was researching and developing exoskeletons, and being romantic with his wife, the freighter slowly set off. It had to go around a long distance to reach Central America, so it had more ammunition than equipment, and it saved half a year of playing with it. It is too inconvenient to wait foolishly for delivery without stock.


    ��


    After more than a month, in early April, An Feng was notified that the goods had arrived.


    NORINCO also sent a few technicians, of course, by plane, and all the expenses for the whole process were borne by the official��in fact, An Feng, the official��s largest donor at present, was responsible. Considering Aegis Security''s PMC plan, An Feng also sent a study group.


    If the business goes to South America and Africa in the future, how can PMC not be familiar with Soviet-style and Chinese-style equipment!


    Gurit brought a team of elites there to learn from the comrades who came from far away in China... Before An Feng left, he just wanted to have fun, not to be a soldier, and GP company had something to deal with recently. After the North American Electronics Show, GP has detonated the technology world.


    Just relying on graphene chips to make computers jump a hundred times into the ultra-high-speed era, this sensational effect is unimaginable. All advanced countries are doing everything possible to obtain technology or samples, even if they pay high prices. Even the US government They are all staring at it.


    However, even if the samples are given to them, it will be difficult to develop them without the support of the next-generation theory; even if they are developed, the cost will remain high-this aspect is far inferior to GP, which is about to mass-produce and push graphene technology to the world. company, and GP Electronics under construction.


    According to the recent situation reported by Eve, just like the stock market has experienced a sharp rise, the current original stock can at least increase by more than 45 times, and it has become a sweet bun that many giants in the electronics industry are vying for. However, the company''s top management is still planning to engage in marketing. Not the end result they wanted.


    An Feng knows exactly where the next breaking point is - a new architecture with strong compatibility. As long as it comes out, it can be backward compatible with other architectures and is more flexible, whether it is a microcomputer or other types, it will not be able to stop the torrent of next-generation technology.


    After reviewing the matter, An Feng finally had time to fly to St. Kitts Island by special plane.


    Landing at the only airport on the island, with the sunglasses on the nose, combined with the uniform of the army, it seems that he is about to become an African warlord. It is not surprising that there are too many black people present, which can easily cause this feeling. It was Gu Li who drove to pick him up. He didn''t plan to go to the hotel, so he went to see the venue first.


    Gu Li was driving an old Toyota pickup. Not only did this guy frequently appear as an armed pickup in the Middle East and Africa, but he also followed him everywhere in the Eastern Caribbean. Let��s go, the learning ability of black people is very bad, but the elites I brought mastered it easily, mainly because Chinese is too difficult to understand, otherwise it would be faster.��


    An Feng thinks that in the 21st century, for at least 30 to 40 years, the most suitable weapon for blacks is a two-piece set of golden partners: AK-47 with a smooth bore and RPG-7 with smooth paint. Other more complex weapons... I''m afraid they won''t work well. For the blacks who shoot for the sake of making a sound, if you are serious, you will lose.


    So An Feng was able to experience Guli''s anger during this period.


    However, there is something he is satisfied with: "In addition to the local army, I have changed three batches of training teams to let them adapt to armored vehicles and a more realistic battlefield environment. Most of them are veterans. Their skills have not been dropped, and their performance is perfect. If PMCs are to be developed, they are elites."


    An Feng said: "Recently, the Arab region is very unstable, and the U.S. military is playing the trick of wearing pants and leaving, so the foreign companies there must need a security team. It is said that those who have done PMC are now undertaking Once the foreign company has signed a contract, we can do it as soon as possible.��


    Guli nodded, but he had concerns: "In simple ground military contracting, casualties are inevitable. If one person dies, he will pay a lot of money. Therefore, I suggest strengthening the protection of personnel and making great efforts in this area, so as to save costs in the future. Otherwise, like Like black water, it will be miserable for the company to be fined continuously.��


    "It makes sense." An Feng said, "It''s better to temporarily contract security work in some areas with a relatively high stability factor, and then face the world when there is a more suitable plan."


    Guri glanced at him: "It feels like you have a good plan?"


    An Feng said: "It''s not a plan, it''s just an idea, because...you know I recently got a set of exoskeletons, I think it can be equipped on security employees, but the current cost is still high, and it needs to be put into battle If so, stronger bulletproof equipment is needed."


    Guri said cautiously: "Although I have never seen an exoskeleton, I have seen your powerful brain. I suggest that you keep a low profile in this regard. The NSA (National Security Agency) will be very happy to come to you with an exoskeleton that can be used by the military. Those who talk, put some restrictions on you, so that you have no place to do business."


    The crisis activist said again: "In addition, if you are too high-profile, be careful of being monitored 24 hours a day and followed around the clock. Don''t think that the Americans will not, once it involves national defense and military issues, they can do anything. I will give you later Get a wiretapping-proof phone."


    An Feng shrugged: "I know, so I didn''t plan to push it to the market at all. I just used it in small batches for my own use. My final idea of ????developing an exoskeleton is a robot."


    Guri shook his head: "I can''t understand the world of scientists at all."


    An Feng smiled: "But I may need a group of volunteers to test the exoskeleton. Battlefield experience is also a good solution, what do you think?"


    Guri said: "Including me, I also want to try a machine that can strengthen people several times. In addition, I will help you select some honest volunteers who can keep secret."


    "That''s the reason, thank you, buddy!"


    After driving for about ten minutes, I swayed along the dilapidated dirt road to the military area. There were dense forests along the way. After a few minutes, it suddenly became clear: a large flat area, pressed out by armored vehicles The land, surrounded by green trees, is very secluded.


    This is actually the army base of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis. The current number of the army is estimated to be around... 90 people, a platoon level.


    There are two machine guns at the gate of the camp, condescending, with a wide field of fire. It is estimated that these plans were brought by Gu Li, and the blacks could not have thought of so much. When passing through the gate, Gu Li''s face was the best pass. He rolled down the window, and the black man with the AK47 saluted An Feng before letting him pass.


    An Feng asked: "Why do you salute me?"


    Guri smiled: "Because we recently signed a military and police training agreement with the local military for 500,000 US dollars, so in principle we are all officers."


    An Feng admired: "I really didn''t expect you to be able to do business here."


    After getting out of the car, the military boots were stepping on yellow mud. After walking a few steps, the shoes and pants were killed. Fortunately, I was wise on the plane and didn��t wear a suit.


    Walking to a wooden house in the camp, surrounded by several white men in uniforms who were resting, smoking and chatting, when they saw Gu Li walking, they all greeted with smiles, and the relationship seemed to be very good. Gu Li introduced: "This is our boss Ann, the person and sponsor of the project!"


    An Feng greeted the soldiers, and then looked at the equipment on the field, three green and yellow painted tanks and two jungle green wheeled transport vehicles, this time they were genuine, capable of rushing up slopes and firing cannons... An Feng With a big wave of his hand: "Gentlemen! Let''s fire a few shots at the top of the mountain first!"


    Guri Khan: "That''s a volcano, BOSS!"

 Chapter 185： designer

    Chapter 185 Designer


    An Feng smiled awkwardly and put down his hands.


    In fact, the two islands of St. Kitts and Nevis are volcanic islands, and there is a volcano in the center. Among them, the volcano on Nevis Island is said to be an active volcano, but there has been no record of eruption. And the mountain that An Feng was pointing at seemed to be similar, and it seemed unsafe to fire there.


    But finally fired a cannon towards the hill.


    One employee in the team did not believe in evil. He believed that the volcano was not active, and the rock was so thick. If it could be activated with a random shell, the country should be relocated collectively... The Type 85 tank raised its gun barrel and blasted it up the mountain. The gun suddenly flew gravel and smoke filled the air.


    An Feng was wearing earmuffs and looked from a distance. When the tank fired, he felt the ground shaking under his feet. If he listened nearby without any protective measures, he might be deaf. No wonder the armored soldiers are hard of hearing. Afterwards, he decided to do it himself - seeing other people having **** is addictive to the eyes, but doing it himself is addictive to the hands.


    It happened that there was an armored soldier in the team who used to be the commander of the vehicle.


    In the tank team, the commander is versatile. He can not only drive the car, but also fire the gunner. He is usually responsible for observation and command, and is the soul of the armored vehicle. So he is familiar with all the operations of the tank, not to mention the way to get started is similar.


    An Feng is very interested in playing tanks. Last time I learned some ways to drive tanks from Mike, but unfortunately the M1 was almost dismantled and I couldn��t learn how to fire. Now here are all complete, and there are Chinese, easy too much. The commander taught him how to use the weapon and the fire control system, such as using the thermal imaging camera to find the target, and finally choosing the timing to fire... An Feng learned it very quickly, and the lecture only took one afternoon.


    Being purely curious, not preparing for war, the commander was only responsible for teaching him how to aim and fire. As for the hit rate, the environment, the tricks of the target search, etc., skip them all. What''s more, the digital ballistic computer of Type 96 is very easy to use, and the aiming tends to be foolish.


    There are still many technologies on the Type 96, such as the automatic loader, which eliminates the backward mode of manual loading. The loader can automatically select the type of ammunition and complete a series of actions such as feeding, loading, and launching. Up to 8 rounds per second, capable of carrying 41 125mm smoothbore guns.


    It is said that guided shells can also be launched, but this time I couldn��t buy them. The 4 million were all kinds of armor-piercing shells, armor-piercing shells and anti-personnel grenades. After An Feng officially got started, he controlled the loader to select a fragmentation grenade, and fired a shell with the help of the scope and various auxiliary machines.


    Wearing sound-proof earmuffs, I don��t have a specific sense of the size of the sound, but hiding in the tank, my whole body is shaken by the sound waves with energy, and the power of the launch is full. The target 1.5 kilometers away was also knocked down by the shock wave-for a novice who spent a few minutes aiming, it was quite satisfactory.


    An Feng didn''t care about grades, he was happy that he really masturbated with his own hands! Although it is not as spectacular as looking outside in the tank, it is like the difference between watching others play with guns and playing with guns yourself-indescribably exciting. Later, I couldn''t help but choose different types of ammunition and fired a few shots.


    The driver played a guest role as a driver, adding a little difficulty to An Feng''s shooting��shooting in a moving situation, and the hit rate at this time is a huge challenge. An Feng tried several times, but still couldn''t get the trick. If it was on the battlefield, they might have turned into a burning scrap of iron.


    ��


    It is definitely a wonderful trip for local tyrants to burn money to be able to really play Cannon. An Feng is happier, and he can play unlimitedly in the future, as long as he is willing to pay the bill. Moreover, artillery shells are different from missiles. Missiles can be very expensive, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, but artillery shells are less than one percent.


    For example, the 96-type tungsten alloy fin-stabilized shell-piercing ammunition is sold to them for 10,000 yuan per round, 10,000 dollars can buy 6 rounds, and 1 million dollars is 600 rounds, and an additional 30 rounds are given as training rounds. Another $3 million was used to purchase other types of ammunition.


    But even so, it is still very difficult for ordinary people to play... After An Feng has played enough, he will consider leaving two tanks and a wheeled transport vehicle for the local army, and collect a tank and a transport vehicle for himself, and store them In the army camp. When friends come over in the future, they can also enjoy a few rounds of fun.


    Commander-in-Chief San Qi does not object to this decision, because the army has less than a hundred people, and even the police force is a little more than the army. Obviously, they don''t need much equipment, and only by pleasing An Feng can they make money in the future. It has only been half a year since he became a citizen, and it has brought so many benefits.


    Both parties have their own plans, so the cooperation is very happy.


    Before An Feng went back, Guli left five training instructors behind to complete the training cooperation with the official. This is the first contract after the establishment of the security advisory system. The amount is not high, but it can inspire confidence in the future. At the same time, it is also the first step in planning to spread the Aegis security outward.


    ��


    After returning to California, An Feng, who was exposed to computers, did something to make military fans touch nail clippers.


    He posted pictures and videos of himself playing tanks and firing cannonballs, and summed up his operating experience in a few lines, making those who followed his whereabouts sigh again: What else can stop the local tyrants? This guy should run to play with missiles next time, right?


    Not to mention, An Feng really has this idea.


    It��s just that missiles are too expensive. The cheapest individual missiles cost 40,000 to 50,000 US dollars, not to mention those vehicle-mounted and airborne missiles are more expensive. Also because of technical secrecy, even if you want to buy it, you can only buy it in large quantities, which is obviously not in line with Anfeng''s original intention of buying a few pieces for fun.


    After typing a line of words on the keyboard, the last part of the picture and text is uploaded. Out of the corner of his eyes, he found Wang Le''s profile picture flickering. When he clicked on it, he sent a message: "I need to discuss something with you."


    An Feng replied: "If you have something to say, just say it, is the mother-in-law''s account stolen?"


    Wang Le sent: "Steal your sister, bitch! It''s me!"


    Following a video request, An Feng clicked to accept, and saw Wang Le holding a cucumber, with one leg still standing on the chair, chewing, without any image.


    "Look at the hair? Imported tall, rich and handsome cucumbers!" He emphasized.


    An Feng was overjoyed: "Look at the way you spoke just now, you thought you had encountered hacking?"


    Wang Le put down the edible and usable artifacts, and said, "Isn''t this a little more tactful! I plan to enter the pit this summer, or in autumn when the weather is clearer, what do you think?"


    An Feng said: "Your speed is not very good! Last year, you told me to take the girl home to meet the parents, and now I dare to say that I want to win."


    "I know what you''re capable of, Yanmars come here casually!" Wang Le rolled his eyes, "To be honest, I''ve known her for a year, and my parents have seen her too, so it feels like it''s about time. And there''s only A few singles, I don��t hurry up, I will just give you red envelopes in the future, and lose money myself!��


    "So that''s the purpose, what''s the moral!" An Feng said with a smile.


    Joanna brought a plate of cut fruits from the kitchen, put the plate on the table, sat beside An Feng, raised her hand and greeted Wang Le: "Hi, Jim!"


    "Hi, beauty!" Wang Le smiled brightly, "Don''t always cook so many delicious food for him, so as not to develop bad habits in the future and only know how to open your mouth when you eat!"


    Joanna, who was feeding An Feng, smiled.


    After eating, An Feng was unhappy: "Damn! You don''t live a happy life, so don''t come to harm us! You don''t understand this kind of love!"


    As he spoke, he hugged Joanna and kissed her, it was so disgusting.


    "See? You have to live like this!" An Feng said proudly, not giving Wang Le a counterattack: "But I agree! You should buy a diamond ring or something as soon as possible, find a place, or hide it in a cake for her Eat, put on a cool show at the end, say that you are the only one, wouldn''t that be enough?"


    "It makes sense!" Wang Le seemed to have found inspiration, and soon disappeared.


    "Cat, come and sit on my lap." An Feng opened his arms to her, hugged her on his lap, and leaned against the back of the chair, basking in the afternoon sun comfortably.


    Joanna''s body was soft enough to curl up into a comfortable position in his arms. The sun in mid-April began to feel a little warmer, and it was very pleasant to snuggle up and absorb the sun lazily. An Feng had nothing to do, so he blew her hair, watching the hair fluttering in front of him.


    Joanna played with him for a while, then raised her head and said, "Last time you said you were looking for a designer, I have screened a few."


    From the purchase of their luxury house plan to the present, except for the construction and flattening of the land at the beginning, it has taken a long time to find a designer.


    An Feng asked: "How do you feel?"


    Joanna said: "They are all pretty good, but because they are all good, I don''t know which one to choose. This is a big project, and I don''t want to have flaws."


    An Feng said: "Come on according to your feeling, I believe there will be nothing wrong."


    Joanna said: "I am optimistic that the designer who came back from studying in France is a lady. In addition, I plan to invite a British team to design the garden."


    An Feng said: "British gardens? It''s not bad to dig an artificial lake near the sea. I''ve seen many designs recently, and it''s the same way."


    Joanna adopted his opinion, and after confirming the candidate, she made an appointment to meet with the designer. The female designer who returned from studying in France obviously has a lot of experience. Although the area is huge this time, her ideas are in line with their original intentions. After some differences were revised, the agreement was reached.


    Once the style of the main building is determined, other things around the main building will be easy. The design team of the English-style garden is top-notch, and the construction method is written in the contract to ensure the most meticulous service. An Feng looked at several groups of real pictures that he had made before, and the effect was indeed very good.


    Joanna said: "They have been responsible for the design of some large-scale gardens, and they have rich experience. By the way, artificial lakes can also be excavated at the same time."


    An Feng knew that what he had to do now was to pay for the designer''s work at a high price.

 Chapter 186： high score

    Chapter 186 High Score


    Near May, the account manager of Gulfstream Aerospace called him.


    The calculations are almost the same. The last time the plane was ordered was at the end of January, and it was promised to be delivered in three months. The time was just right, and the Americans were more reliable.


    When An Feng went to pick up the plane, Joanna happened to be free, so she boarded a Cessna business jet with him and flew to the Gulfstream headquarters in Georgia.


    After a period of flight, the plane landed smoothly on the dedicated airstrip, the cabin gangway opened, An Feng and Joanna walked down, and a Cadillac car was parked in front of them, and the account manager who came to pick him up smiled and opened the door with enthusiasm. Said: "Mister and Madam, please come in!"


    They get in the car, the manager takes the driver''s seat, and the car drives to its destination.


    Long before the plane landed, An Feng saw several white-painted business jets parked beside the runway. The difference in style could not be seen from above, but when the car passed by, the local gold lines on the side of one of the planes spread to Belly, against the background of the white fuselage, the gold color is particularly conspicuous. Two huge turbofan engines are placed behind the fuselage, and Bruce-An''s English is painted on the tail, which is full of exclusivity.


    Joanna looked at the plane: "What a beautiful guy, it looks much bigger than our original one."


    An Feng was triumphant: "Of course, otherwise, how can we fly across continents!"


    The car arrived next to the plane and got off to watch it. Although it is said to be a small business jet, when it actually stops before the plane, both the car and the people feel small. The gangway of the engine room fell, and the account manager walked in front to lead the way: "Two, let''s go up!"


    Holding Joanna''s hand, let her step up first, and followed her on the gangway to get on the plane. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. The brown carpet with a touch of gold is matched with a luxurious sofa of the same color, and the lights can be adjusted in the cabin Under the sunlight, it is very luxurious. Stepping on the carpet, it feels soft and comfortable. The space is more spacious than the Cessna, with a sense of hierarchy. Even a big man with a height of two meters will not feel oppressed.


    Joanna sat on the sofa and was very satisfied: "It''s a soft sofa that can seat three people, and you can stretch your body freely when you''re tired."


    An Feng also tried it on the luxury seat opposite the sofa. From the circular porthole, you can look out to the ground outside. Because it is an exclusive view, it is very comfortable, and the details are in place. It can be blocked by blinds When you are resting, let the sunlight outside the window not come in.


    Going further inside, there is a wine-red cabinet with a flat-screen TV hanging in the center, and vases on both sides, with a few blooming flowers inserted. Open the cabinet below, built-in refrigerator and wine cabinet, then you can put some high-end crystal glasses and put a few bottles of wine for drinking in your spare time.


    Continue to go deeper and come to the office area that sits in pairs, which can accommodate eight passengers and two desks, and the desks can also be folded to increase the space. At the end is the kitchen and bathroom, and the space is also not small. Go back and experience the high-fidelity audio and the 52-inch TV... The widening of the space will make the air travel very comfortable. Compared with the Citation X, which only has speed but not enjoyment, the G650ER is very good.


    But there are gains and losses. Compared with the Citation X, which can soar to 1100, the speed of more than 900 per hour is slightly behind in terms of time efficiency. If you are in a hurry to do something, the Citation X is still the first choice. G650 can make people feel uncomfortable.


    According to the customer manager, after being decorated according to Anfeng''s requirements, it can carry up to 18 passengers and 2 drivers, and the maximum flight distance reaches 13,000 kilometers, which is more than enough for transcontinental flights, and it pays great attention to comfort , are more stable in the stratosphere than airliners.


    After a few rounds of shopping, the account manager smiled: "Sir, are you satisfied?"


    An Feng nodded: "Not bad."


    If there is no problem, it means that the official delivery can be made. After signing the rest of the documents and confirming that the deal is concluded, let the pilot assigned by Gulfstream drive the plane back. An Feng and Joanna participated in its first flight, sitting in a comfortable plane, enjoying its first flight journey.


    They try each position, making a list of what needs to be completed. The luxurious interior of the plane is ready, but some indoor plants and perfumes that can be decorated need to be considered by themselves. There are a lot of items listed, and for long-distance flights, enjoyment must also be considered.


    ��


    Not long after the new plane landed, it was already May.


    According to the winery��s sales and management suggestions, the launch will start at the end of May or June, which also means that it is necessary to catch up with the money so that the red wine can get an authoritative score. This scoring system cannot avoid choosing the most famous Robert Parker system today.


    As a wine emperor, Parker tasted 10,000 wines a year when he was young and full of energy. I am afraid that most people will not be exposed to so many wines in their lifetime, but he is able to do it with ease and comment on more suitable wines. An aesthetic wine for the masses.


    According to the plan, this batch of An��s winery should be kept for 18 months or more. However, the masters usually fly all over the world and have a tight schedule. It is rare to taste it alone. "Blind tasting" of brand-labeled wines.


    Before the master came, An Feng tasted it in a decent way, and then spit out an elegant curve. Originally, when he first came into contact with the winery, he thought that the masters of wine tasting were fierce men who could drink 18 bowls and kill tigers. Han, but Old John is telling the truth: there is a lot of knowledge about wine tasting, some sommeliers have a poor capacity for drinking, and they can only pour one glass, but if they master the skill of "spit wine", even if they taste a hundred brands in a row, there will be no slightest loss. drunk.


    The sommelier actually put it in his mouth to feel it, and then spit it out. He didn''t drink at all during the whole process, and of course he wouldn''t get drunk. An Feng learned from Old John for a long time, and finally mastered a more elegant way of spitting out wine - that is to block it with his hand, spit as much as you want, just don''t let others see it.


    The most satisfying aged wine was selected, and everyone tasted it together, and the response was good, especially Frank''s professional opinion: "The color is bright purple, with a bit of dark black, and when you hold the wine glass close to it, you can smell a strong wine. Fragrance, very pure, strong in the mouth, long-lasting aftertaste... High-level works are estimated to be able to get a score of more than 90 on the Parker system, congratulations!"


    Usually 96-100 points means that it belongs to the top wine, even the first-level winery may not be able to produce it, but more than 90 points are excellent works, extremely individual and beautiful. If Parker really scores such a high score, it also means that the value of the wine will rise steadily.


    Old John also gave the same evaluation after tasting it. He thought it could be higher, because Parker''s taste changes every year, and this time the red wine tastes a bit out of the ordinary... They don''t know exactly how, but An Feng did. Thinking it should be the effect of fertilizer.


    It��s amazing. At the beginning, it was to save fertilizer costs and let Tailan produce it. He didn��t expect not only to save money, but also to produce good products. He thought about whether to continue to buy a fertilizer factory after this time to produce special fertilizers for him. , so that the quality of the grapes in the coming year will be better.


    ��


    A few days later, wineries in the Paso Robles area ushered in a tasting day.


    A total of 30 wineries presented samples for this tasting. The place was located in a hotel. Parker, who was over 60 years old, and his team were present, and the heads of the wineries waited patiently. It is rumored that Parker needs to adjust for a few days before tasting, and he will not drink or smoke in order to achieve his best condition.


    The master was very elegant, carefully savoring a large pile of red wine without any labels in front of him, and gracefully spit out the red wine into the curve of the fountain more than one meter away.


    "You spit out skillfully!" An Feng turned his head and whispered to Joanna.


    Joanna smiled and pinched him: "Be serious."


    Parker''s 100-point scoring system is based on 50 points. Every red wine submitted for review can get 50 points, and then it is composed of a comprehensive evaluation based on its color appearance; aroma; flavor and aftertaste; a total of 50 points. You have to be at the top to get a high score.


    After a period of brewing, the score came out.


    This time it may be due to the good weather conditions, the evaluation scores are relatively high, there are many between 80-90, and there are also several above 90, among which the new winery - An''s Chateau is just like Frank''s evaluation before. , got a high score of 95, only one line away from the top.


    Although there is a slight gap from the top, Parker''s score is not fixed, it changes with time. In 1982, Lafite once scored 100 points, but now it has dropped to 97+. As for An Feng''s batch of aged wine, if it is kept longer, the effect will definitely be better.


    In fact, the future can be seen from the highest score this time��that is, Frank��s Sassen Winery. Last time, he bought some good-growing Cabernet Sauvignon from Anfeng. This amazingly won a high score of 97.


    As the saying goes, seven points in winemaking depend on grapes, and three points depend on craftsmanship. Sassen Winery��s processing methods play a key role, which also means that once the scoring results are released, wines with high scores will be popular in the market. Although Parker cannot represent everyone, human beings like to follow suit.


    Everyone is not surprised by the results of Sassen Winery. After all, two generations have been in business for decades. It is not uncommon for them to get more than 95 points in their history. They are well-known in the local area and exported to Canada, so they have the highest score. The attraction obtained is not as good as the dark horse of An''s Winery.


    While accepting everyone''s congratulations with a smile, An Feng was also thinking about the price.


    Usually, the price of red wine above 90 points will not be low. This refers to Parker himself, that is, the RP score, not the WA score. More moisture. An Feng consulted some brands, and Lin Hai and Old John��s opinion, set the price at around 300 US dollars, if the press conference at the end of May is done well, it can be raised further.


    It is estimated that there will be 2,500 cases of aging. According to the specifications of 12 standard bottles in a case, there are a total of 30,000 bottles of red wine, which is expected to bring in an income of 9 million US dollars. If it is not for super rich people like An Feng who can burn their money , for ordinary wineries, it is definitely a fruitful year. After deducting the cost of 9 million, it is estimated that there will be more than 4 million profits, and his partner''s investment can be recovered within two years.

 Chapter 187： iron man

    Chapter 187 Iron Superman


    The winery needs to prepare a new wine launch next.


    With An Feng''s current status and connections, it is easy to invite some celebrities to come over to support him. Even if he wants to, many friends will be willing to buy his wine��even if the quality is poor. But after the high evaluation given by everyone, the wine is not an ordinary product, and the market is naturally not a problem.


    Marketing is left to Lin Hai, how to plan the press conference is left to Old John, and An Feng continues to be the shopkeeper, only responsible for convening friends from all parties. But he has not been easy recently, and has been going back and forth between his home and the robot company. But the effect of burning money in the bottomless pit is shocking.


    Colin Hoffman, An Feng wondered if he was a machine under his skin. He worked tirelessly and was full of enthusiasm... The boss likes this kind of employee the most. The only downside is that he has no idea about spending money. Some can be modified by other departments, but he insists on outsourcing.


    In order to prevent Hoffman from going astray, An Feng had to keep an eye on it.


    Hoffman took his baby: the tablet computer customized by GP company came forward, and discussed with An Feng: "Sir, I think the machine on the calf can be simplified. Its power part is mainly concentrated on the thigh. After streamlining the calf, There is an impact on sprint speed, but overall lighter."


    An Feng looked at the drawings and thought. He didn''t have a specific plan in his mind, he could only build ideas, so Hoffman''s thinking was very important. After reading it, he said: "This part continues to use titanium alloy. It is not recommended to reduce the hydraulic system, because considering the load, the exoskeleton of the calf is also very critical. You can''t feel it in a light state. If you are sprinting with a load, Energy consumption will be higher."


    After listening, Hoffman nodded, shook his head and went to work again.


    ��


    In the research of exoskeleton, its core is: assist system, computer and energy. These three things determine the advanced level of the exoskeleton. The robot company has unique conditions. GP company has solved the two major problems of advanced computers and energy, and the only thing left is the power assist system.


    The hybrid booster system designed by Anfeng himself uses hydraulic and electronic booster mixing, and the process is complicated. For example, the power-assisted system of the thigh this time, it is close to the outside of the thigh, flat and long, exposing the mirror-like bright hydraulic rod, it seems simple, but the inside is complicated, taking into account the energy circulation.


    There are many power assist systems, but it also consumes a lot of energy. If you want to work continuously for ten or twenty hours, there are two aspects: powerful energy, and an energy-saving system. Unilaterally increasing the battery capacity, the system does not save energy, and the working time is still short, which is not a qualified second-generation exoskeleton.


    It took more than one million yuan for repeated research and development of this complex system, and more than a hundred thousand yuan for the manufacture of these four finished products, and less than ten kilograms of scrap iron was sold. It is very inconspicuous, and no one will pick it up if it is thrown on the ground, but it is the exoskeleton put together by these systems, which represents the advancement of technology.


    There are too many advanced things. The exoskeleton department uses a new type of computer that has not yet been released, the super battery that GP Energy will put into production in the future, and various confidential drawings... In view of the need for security and confidentiality, Anfeng simplified the organization and divided it into multiple There are three departments, and the core department pays the most attention to confidentiality.


    Working in groups is more efficient. After everyone hits the mark, they finally design the lower body two months after the arm is completed. The weight of the exoskeleton is also mostly concentrated on the lower limbs. It is different from the upper limbs. The upper limbs consider exerting force, while the lower limbs must take into account both load and speed. Two legs need four power assist systems.


    After the lower limbs are manufactured successfully, it is the turn of the overall splicing. It is not acceptable to spend more than ten minutes each time to put on the exoskeleton. An Feng requires that the exoskeleton must be put on by himself within three minutes and disassembled within one minute. So at this point, the modularity of the exoskeleton must be considered.


    Modularization is not too difficult, they have already done the most difficult part, modularization is only equivalent to the later art. There was a design drawing originally, and it took three days to assemble it. When An Feng came to put it on again, the complete set of exoskeleton had already stood majestically on the ground.


    An Feng wore it under the guidance of the technician, and Hoffman introduced: "Our last weighing data shows that the total weight of the exoskeleton and the energy system on the back is 25 kilograms. The modular design has been practiced several times. Finally, it can be put on and taken off in a minute or two."


    An Feng did put it on very quickly this time, it only took three and a half minutes. After putting on the whole set of exoskeleton, he had already turned into a strange man with long iron on his body. It is composed of nine parts of the assist system as a whole, namely two trapezius muscles, two triceps brachii, spine, and four legs.


    There are a lot of small assist systems, and there are more than twenty sets of ten fingers. He gently raised his hand, spread his palm, and clenched it into a fist. It was much easier than usual, but he was not used to being covered with a layer of metal, and his body was out of thin air. Increased... He took the first step in the anticipation of everyone.


    Hoffman said: "For daily basic actions, you can choose the second mode, which is the semi-energy-consuming mode, which can continue to work for 40 hours."


    An Feng raised his left hand, and there was a touch-screen computer on his arm, on which he could select the mode, unlock the exoskeleton module, and check the remaining energy, the load of the computer, the working status of several large sensing systems, and so on. The screen is military-spec and very sturdy.


    This time, pull out the data cable on your body and wear the exoskeleton to do some daily actions, such as walking, turning, bending... or playing with mobile phones. You don''t need to deliberately master the strength. The sensitive feedback system can already distinguish 100% of the movements, allowing People feel the same as usual, but with less effort.


    Hoffman saw that he was almost used to it, so he said: "For complex movements, choose the first mode. Under the full energy consumption state, the energy can work for more than 20 hours."


    There are more complex movements, such as running, doing a little fitness, hitting sandbags and so on. This time, An Feng felt different from the previous world. When he was running, his speed would increase, but he did not pant. He ran down the field for 1,000 meters without feeling tired and still relaxed.


    The exoskeleton takes up two-thirds of the work, and now the running is equivalent to the usual brisk walking, and the oxygen consumption is less than 30% of the original. Later, An Feng chose to run with a load of 100 kilograms. The huge backpack was pressed on his body, and his feet became heavy on the ground. It will not affect his performance.


    Take off the weight, run a 100-meter sprint in full mode, and feel like you are turning into a gust of wind when you run. The exoskeleton weighing more than 20 kilograms on your body is as light as a feather. When he sprints across the line, the data recorded by the stopwatch is more than 9 seconds. Before he knew it, he actually broke the record of Black Lightning Bolt!


    "This is real?"


    An Feng breathed steadily and came to the technician holding the timer. The record of 9 seconds 43 was frozen, and everyone''s surprise was completely written on their faces.


    Hoffman was scratching his head: "Is it more conducive to full play after the integration of the exoskeleton?"


    An Feng thought about it and gave him an affirmative answer.


    I continued to try a few times later, and the field outside was wide enough to run 100 meters. After a few sprints, I could easily run within 9 seconds. If we also design an exoskeleton for Bolt, maybe he can run in 8 seconds... You must know that the record he set was 9 seconds 58!


    Followed by a comprehensive test, such as weight-bearing sprint running, obstacle running, flexible dodge movements, extreme high jump, sprint jump... All kinds of movements that are used more in practice have been significantly improved with the help of exoskeletons, and even An Feng He worked hard to lift a nearly 3-ton pickup truck at the gate of the factory building.


    An Feng hugged the bumper, the front wheels of the car were in the air, and the rear wheels were on the ground. He turned his head to a group of technicians with well-developed brains but average body and said, "How is it?"


    The big guy has nothing to say, and the effect is unexpectedly good.


    In the World Hercules Championship, those super strong men play cars like this, but their expressions are twisted and tangled, but An Feng is relaxed. He lifted and lowered it several times in a row without changing his expression. After standing up straight, he still didn''t show signs of being too tired.


    But he looked at the computer on his arm. In this mode, the power consumption will be doubled.


    Hoffman calculated on the tablet and said: "If you insist on being Superman, the battery can last up to 10 hours of operation."


    "It''s not bad!" An Feng said with satisfaction. What is the biggest problem with the exoskeletons developed by other institutions in the United States? It is energy.


    No matter how they develop, the lithium-ion battery can last for tens of minutes at most, which is completely scum compared to Anfeng''s more than 20 hours. Not only is the battery powerful, but also his unique energy circulation system, the two-pronged approach is the key to low energy consumption.


    An Feng also tried the most essential part of the weapon, and it was naturally handy to play. Even the quick disassembly pistol was faster and more agile than usual. And shooting with a gun... It feels like the game is hanging up. In the full mode, the arm is not affected by the amount of recoil at all.


    Anyway, he held the gun flat and emptied the bullets. It can be deduced from this that even assault rifles and light machine guns can''t help him. The very flamboyant dual-wielding AK shooting can also appear in life, and even the more exaggerated dual-wielding light machine guns are just a waste of electricity. That''s all.


    After the actual test, there are still many things that can be improved for the exoskeleton, such as using the helmet display system instead of the arm computer, adding hanging points on the body, being able to wear body armor, making it easier to hang weapons on the exoskeleton, and enhancing the flexibility of the sole part. Can run more conveniently.


    If calculated according to the standard of a soldier, the exoskeleton is fully qualified and even very strong, but the cost is very high. From the research and development to the present, it has cost more than 7 million yuan. If it is to be manufactured in the future, a set of Anfeng The exoskeleton needs to be customized, and it will cost at least 1.5 million US dollars.


    But the 1.5 million is just the cost, not the value. As for the value... the super battery that is far ahead of the world can��t be bought for 1 billion now, and now the strongest battery issued by GP Energy, the battery life of the exoskeleton is about 5 hours Around, half consumption may reach 10 hours.


    Anfeng did not regard the second-generation exoskeleton as the ultimate goal, and did not intend to push it to the market. If it is used in small batches, it can be equipped with its own security company. At least Guli is one of the volunteers, and the materials do not need to be top-notch. , Properly reduce the cost. Originally, aviation-grade titanium alloy was used. Next time, it will be replaced with carbon fiber or other alloys, as long as the total weight is controlled at about 40 kg.


    In addition, the two batteries are core secrets, and it is impossible to leak them casually, which means that only the highest-level batteries released by GP Energy can be used to develop into a battery pack. In energy-saving mode, it is good that it can last for more than 10 hours. Even if it is a battle, you have to rest for more than ten hours.


    At the charging speed of the graphene battery, it takes up to 30 minutes to fully charge... After much deliberation, it would be good to equip your own personal security with an exoskeleton in the future, or after Aegis Security develops PMC, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of employees, use a weakened version of the exoskeleton Not bad.


    But after much deliberation, there will be a lot of troubles for such machines involving the military field to be used openly. The most obvious is the US government. Their eyes are bright, especially this kind of advanced technology that affects the future. They will purchase and increase There are a bunch of restrictions on it, and it is not allowed to flow abroad.


    Especially the set on An Feng''s body is too lethal... He thinks that even if he wants to use it, he can only produce a weakened version. After all, this set is really difficult to make. These tiny parts are almost killing the CNC machine tool.


    An Feng couldn''t think of a good solution, so he used it for his own use, or turned it to civilian use. The assist system brought by the exoskeleton is also helpful to medicine.


    =====


    PS: As far as the exoskeleton depicted by the author is concerned, it should be similar to the one worn by Matt Damon in the movie "Elysium", but it is not so rough...It has not developed into an Iron Man covered in armor, so It is said that it is a beggar''s version, with only "bones" and no "meat".

 Chapter 188： Big names gather

    Chapter 188 Big names gather


    Currently, this second-generation exoskeleton is basically completed, but it can be processed in many aspects in the later stage, such as the helmet display that An Feng hopes for. If the helmet is inconvenient, tactical glasses can be considered. From the actual combat considerations of security employees, it must be inconvenient to touch the arm computer frequently.


    Anfeng also provided them with some ideas for the post-processing plan, but most of the perfect work involves technologies in other fields. Robot companies are not omnipotent. For example, tactical glasses are made by high-tech companies. They want Equipment, I''m afraid I have to order it specially.


    An Feng has the idea of ??self-sufficiency in core technology to avoid top-heavy.


    But it does not mean comprehensive development. It is unrealistic to have a one-stop process from materials to products. Some technologies of US aircraft carriers come from other countries.


    So it is the current requirement to ensure the self-production of the most advanced parts.


    After finishing the work, the exoskeleton remains in the robot company''s safe. This set was custom-made for him, and of course his own, but it''s not finished yet, you should at least give him some paint, right? Just a large piece of bare metal, it looks really... not aggressive enough.


    The research and development of the exoskeleton has come to an end, and the time is close to June.


    The press conference prepared by An Feng is counting down.


    The winery... To be honest, I just feel that I plant so many grapes every year, but in the end I pick them and sell them to others. With the recommendation of friends around me, I had the idea of ??establishing a winery at the beginning, but with a winery, there is a need for sales, and once there is a sales, it cannot be treated casually.


    Things get complicated.


    According to the development routine of wineries, no matter how good the quality is, it takes three to five years, and at most ten years of brand precipitation. Looking at world-renowned wineries, all of them have come this way.


    But a grand release and promotion can shorten the time for precipitation.


    An Feng''s idea was right in this regard. He started making phone calls when the press conference was approaching. He had already greeted his friends from all walks of life a month ago. Now it is time to officially confirm the time. In early June, the election was held in a hotel in Los Angeles.


    After making a phone call, the doorbell rang. An Feng just wanted to get up. Unexpectedly, Joanna took the first step and said cheerfully, "Let me go!"


    I saw her happily running to open the door, and then came back with a beautiful packaging bag, sat on the sofa and enjoyed unpacking it, the packaging was quite grand, with one layer on the outside and two layers on the inside, after opening, she shook hands with her chest in surprise : "Wow, it''s so beautiful! Come and see it, honey!"


    It''s rare to see her so happy, An Feng also leaned over, and saw her take out a light blue dress with exquisite scales from the packing box.


    An Feng laughed, no wonder, it turned out to be beautiful clothes that women cannot resist.


    Joanna said appreciatively: "It was Armani''s spring and summer haute couture last time, the finale, and the only one I got."


    "It looks beautiful, and it must be perfect on you." An Feng said.


    Joanna nodded: "I like the shape of the mermaid tail and the crystal scales the most. I plan to wear it to attend the press conference and be the most dazzling lady!"


    Joanna looked at him after she finished speaking. An Feng knew that she needed compliments, and he wouldn''t let him go if he wasn''t sweet enough. He hugged her, leaned on the sofa and brewed words: "I promise you will definitely overwhelm the audience, unparalleled , this is a tube top, right? Pair it with mermaid jewelry, it''s even more perfect."


    Joanna kissed him on the cheek: "Smart."


    ��


    The day of the press conference was very lively. Although An Feng had just brought Joanna into the car and did not arrive at the scene, but from her incomparably grand attire, it could be predicted that this would be another costume war for ladies. Usually social occasions are either more attractive than men, or more beautiful than women.


    Bentley stopped at the entrance of the hotel where the press conference was held.


    As soon as Joanna''s high heels hit the ground, the camera''s flash fired. As the hostess, you have to come in advance, so the media reporters on the scene naturally know that this is a heavyweight. The hostess is dressed in a very grand and high-profile way. She is wearing a light blue floor-length mermaid skirt. The scales on the skirt are embellished like a dream. The design of the tube top dress tightens her slender waist and reveals a large white chest. , plus a chain of sparkling diamonds, **** and just right to embellish her elegance, there is no doubt that she successfully controlled this dress.


    An Feng walked on the red carpet with her and stepped into the press conference.


    At the end of the red carpet is a sign-in counter, with a large winery poster standing up as the background, and there are already media reporters around, because the role of the sign-in counter is to stand on it for all guests to show their beauty in front of the camera Elegant, then big name on the poster.


    An Feng and Joanna also walked onto the stage, faced the camera, left a long list of English names on the huge poster behind them with a signature pen, and left the stage with a smile. They came to the main hall, which is used as the brand display area and buffet area, and the center is the stage, which is specially used for speeches.


    The director of the winery, Mr. John Bailey, has arrived. He is wearing a grand suit without a tuxedo, and his hair is combed upwards. It is the first time An Feng saw the old John so grand. Joanna bowed. An Feng smiled and asked, "Are you ready?"


    Old John nodded: "Of course."


    Then, the sales director Lin Hai and his wife came, also dressed grandly, and the two sides greeted each other.


    Moreover, their daughter Lin Xiaofei also appeared in a dress.


    Obviously today is a school day, but Gao Jie said helplessly: "She heard that there are many celebrities she likes present, and she doesn''t even have the mind to do other things."


    An Feng gave her a thumbs up, and said quietly: "You are very beautiful, girl, there will be handsome guys who will pay attention to you!"


    Lin Xiaofei smiled decently: "Thank you."


    An Feng smiled: "That''s the way to go, show off the ladylike demeanor from China."


    ��


    After a while, all the guests will appear.


    The on-site division of labor is very clear. Old John and Lin Hai are in charge of hosting the venue. An Feng, the big boss, needs to stand up and lead his wife to exchange feelings with every distinguished guest. Although most of the visitors were shining stars, he didn''t recognize them, but there were a few familiar faces, probably seen in movies.


    An Feng didn''t know very well, but this girl Lin Xiaofei and some other young ladies were staring at the stars, and they were counting the stars who were familiar to her peers, what movies she had made, how strong this year''s box office was, and beside her was a certain A certain producer; or how many consecutive Billboard charts has the released song been on; and those tall supermodels have been very popular recently, endorsing a certain luxury advertisement...


    In one word, it is: big names gathered.


    But in fact, comparing these big names with the heavyweight guests present, although the VIPs are not ostentatious, their significance is even more extraordinary.


    Heavyweights, such as the low-key Baron Basil Henry Sinclair, plus his name as an oil tycoon, this weight is one of the best. There weren''t many people who knew him at the scene, but those who could talk to others were all bigwigs from various industries, and if they stopped there, they would automatically form an upper circle.


    An Feng hugged Bazel enthusiastically, and was pleasantly surprised: "I didn''t expect you to have time to come."


    Bazel smiled: "I''m planning to go to Canada, stay in Los Angeles for a few days before connecting flights, I heard that there will be a press conference, and I''ll add some popularity to you."


    An Feng made a joke: "I''m afraid when you come, everyone''s eyes are not on me, but on you!"


    "Then you have to prepare some brochures, let me send out a few for you." Bazel said with a smile.


    "Haha, I don''t dare to ask Your Excellency the Baron to work for me." An Feng invited him to the guest area. There was no need to entertain him, and someone would take the initiative to strike up a conversation with him.


    In addition to celebrities and heavyweights, there are more realistic ones. Some friends who run hotel chains and restaurants have not even started the press conference. They have expressed that they will order the red wine from the winery, put it on the menu, and help promote it... An Feng smiled all over his face, this is not selling wine, but face!


    His face is very valuable now.


    After the first batch of scheduled guests entered the venue, Joanna muttered, "The winery has received two deals before the press conference even started."


    An Feng was proud: "This is called the face effect."


    "Smelly." Joanna said in Chinese, but she looked forward with a natural expression, and she couldn''t guess her heart from the surface.


    Just as An Feng was about to speak, his eyes swept away, and he shook hands with the coming Roger: "Welcome, my friend! Thank you so much for your help this time!"


    Roger said: "You should thank Miranda, the hot girls on the scene are all invited by her."


    Milan smiled.


    The press conference naturally had to have models showing red wine, waiter girls who added popularity, so many supermodel hot girls, it��s not good without any connections.


    An Feng expressed his gratitude to Miranda: "Of course, and you, dear Miranda!"


    Enthusiastically came to two face-to-face gifts with her, and invited them in.


    With the rush of guests arriving, An Feng began to feel a little overwhelmed. Not only business friends, but also some very photogenic celebrities arrived. Big names are different. Whenever they stand on the stage, the sound of the camera never stops, and the poses they pose are also very stylish.


    An Feng selectively screened the reception targets. After all, he didn''t know many people, and he was also a very famous person. Only those tycoons and wealthy people could receive his special reception. Others... would naturally have special reception, but it wasn''t them. This level is gone.


    There is an acquaintance who cannot be ignored behind.


    "Look." Joanna reminded him calmly, her eyes were looking ahead, but there was a faint arrogance in her indifferent expression.


    She seldom releases her aura on her own initiative, the only ones are women, just like a peacock opening her tail to compare her beauty, her possessiveness will be obvious when it comes to a woman who may have a relationship with him.


    An Feng also saw it, just smiled lightly, and said to the visitor: "Hi, Miss Kelso, long time no see! Nice to meet you here!"


    The well-dressed Jennifer Kelso also shook hands with him with a smile, hugged him gently, and said in surprise after letting go: "I didn''t expect this to be a press conference held by you!"


    Joanna smiled generously: "Welcome!"


    Jennifer looked at her, then at An Feng, she seemed to understand something with a smile, and introduced the people beside her naturally: "This is my male companion Eric, a film investor."


    "Hello, Eric!" An Feng shook hands with Eric.


    Eric was also very enthusiastic. They greeted each other politely, but they were both men, so they could feel that the relationship was a bit awkward. Although Eric wanted to chat with Bruce Andor, the biggest player on the scene, the timing was not right. It would be embarrassing, so I took Jennifer into the venue.


    After they left, Joanna said, "What a pity, isn''t it?"


    "Why?" An Feng said innocently, "Isn''t it because you met an ex? Look at your expression now, as if you want to draw your sword and stand by my side."


    Joanna looked up at him: "Can''t you?"


    "Of course, the noblewoman must protect me." An Feng smiled, put his arm around her waist and walked inside, "Okay, kitty, I''m yours now, what else do you mind? Let''s go! Let''s enter the arena After drinking a few glasses, I almost forgot that I am the biggest brand, what kind of reception is it like!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 189： Thief

    Chapter 189 Being Thief


    The press conference with big names was very successful.


    Even before the start, An Feng received a lot of orders. The owners of those high-end restaurants and chain hotels were all trying to sell An Feng''s face, or more specifically, the face of the large group behind him. The influence of the consortium is not trivial, let alone the core members.


    This grand ceremony made the media reporters too busy, the camera kept turning, trying to capture the looks of every star on stage, or try to find a way to gossip...Anyway, there are constant surprises, and the owner of the winery is unexpected There is such a great ability to bring these people together.


    The surprise of the rich is no less than that of the reporters. Of course, they don��t care about public figures. There are many people who are not high or low. It''s a pleasant surprise to see people you''ve met a few times, but haven''t had a chance to talk to.


    An Feng is responsible for introducing some people appropriately. Some people in the circle don��t have so many rules. For example, Roger, he is still working for the family. He is a rich kid who comes out to exercise. The circle of friends is also very complicated. Nobles like Bazel are involved.


    So An Feng is irresponsible in recommending guests to him.


    Roger also accepts all orders. The three generations are short of money recently, and the family left him a lot of money��but it��s funds or shares, and they can only eat some profits. Therefore, if he gets more business, his performance will increase by one point, and it is said that he can share 70% of the profit... With this level of cheating, other employees are probably born behind most of the time when they compete with Gao Fushuai.


    After almost all the guests arrived, the press conference began.


    First, a short speech, introducing the culture of the winery... a few words. Followed by the winery''s unique brewing process, followed by Parker''s high score, special comments, etc., half of which was praise, half was introduction, and then it was the turn of the boss, An Feng, to come forward to say a few words.


    He had just entered the stage, and there was constant applause from the audience.


    Smiling and saying a few words, saying thank you to the guests, and welcome to give comments, then announce to enter the next theme, a buffet with an appreciative nature.


    Every beautiful model shows the exquisitely packaged wine bottle in their hands. After a round of posing, a professional waiter will come up to open the bottle and pour it for each guest, so that everyone can taste the wine that has not been brewed for enough years. wine. But the response was good, and Parker''s score represents the taste of the public.


    There are not many people who really know how to taste wine. If the red wine doesn��t taste very strange, otherwise, after seeing Parker��s high score, even the same wine with different packaging will have a different feeling after drinking it�� It��s also a disguised master effect. An Feng saluted everyone with a wine glass, taking a small sip.


    The rest is free time, tasting red wine and making friends.


    An Feng also got free, alone.


    Madam naturally has to show her generosity, and she also has her own entertainment.


    An Feng walked around, no matter whether he recognized him or not, he smiled and nodded as a greeting, and then met Jennifer in the crowd.


    An Feng held the wine glass, lightly touched the wine glass in her hand, and asked casually, "How are you doing recently?"


    Jennifer smiled: "Not bad, career is going well."


    An Feng smiled: "Isn''t it very good? I have seen your movie posters in several cities, and there are still many movie fans talking about you on the Internet!"


    Jennifer smiled: "Thank you. Recently, I have received several movies in a row, and the response has been good. I have been busy... Well, are you married?"


    An Feng glanced back at Joanna, who was chatting with other guests in a graceful manner, and nodded: "Yes, it''s been a year, time really flies."


    Jennifer said: "Congratulations, she must be very happy."


    An Feng smiled: "Of course, what about you?"


    Jennifer shook her head: "You know that actresses have a limited shelf life, so try to be single as much as possible and leave room for fans to fantasize, which is the way to maintain popularity."


    "It seems that you have adapted to this star-studded life." An Feng raised his glass, "Congratulations, you have realized your dream, and I wish you can go further in the future!"


    "Thank you!" Jennifer clinked glasses with him again.


    Afterwards, I said goodbye politely, like a friend I met by chance, not very good, but I could chat a few words, giving me a sense of embarrassment about the years in my life.


    Going back to Joanna, she said, "So soon?"


    An Feng took her hand and said with a smile: "It''s not about feelings, isn''t it just a few words of pleasantries?"


    Joanna asked: "Did I limit you?"


    "It''s nothing." An Feng shook his head, "Okay, cat, you know that the only thing that keeps me from getting up fast is you. It has to be stewed slowly."


    Joanna laughed: "Protest! I became food!"


    "Then I can eat you." An Feng put his arms around her waist instead, and whispered in his ear: "Come on, ma''am, let''s be the center of attention."


    The press conference was very successful, not only the heavyweights opened the eyes of the guests, but also the winery��s harvest. According to Lin Hai, the quality of the red wine is already high-quality, coupled with a little celebrity effect, after the on-site trial, it is naturally popular. Praise, so far I have received ten orders.


    Whether it is a private order or a high-end restaurant order, the quantity is quite large, which consumes almost half of the official bottling of the winery next year, and the remaining half can be stored or sold according to the market response. In any case, its sales are no longer a problem, just wait to make money.


    ��


    The weather became hot again in June, and Anfeng also became a little lazy due to the weather. The exoskeleton project is currently entering a long consolidation stage. The work mainly focuses on improving the second-generation exoskeleton according to Anfeng''s needs, and then summing up experience. They are not in a hurry to develop the third generation.


    The third-generation exoskeleton is Anfeng''s ideal, a fantasy of human beings, so it is very difficult-it is a problem at the beginning, because there are some complex machines that are not yet available on the earth, some parts require high-precision machine tools, or are more capable of creating complex machines. 3D printers in different shapes and sizes cannot be achieved by 3D printing on the market.


    He needs a 3D printer that can print metal to ensure hardness and toughness. Most of the machines currently on the market are printed with plastic, and even if they can print metal, the effect is not up to standard. This means that if the third-generation exoskeleton is to be developed, the industry must be developed simultaneously.


    Simply put, it is the balance of technology.


    On the other hand, because he requires a close-fitting exoskeleton with undiminished strength, the type that you can''t see even if you wear a suit on the outside, so the theory is equally important. It is necessary to use a new structure, connect the brain nerves, and use the brain Radio wave control, fusion of some organisms... The theory has crossed the border.


    Even a genius like Hoffman would have to spend some time studying hard.


    So Hoffman rarely pursued this time.


    The current second-generation exoskeleton has become the key object of the company''s improvement. It is repainted into a very sci-fi carbon black according to Anfeng''s needs, as if covered with carbon fiber. New hanging points were added, some lines were replaced, and the connection points were adjusted to make it more modular.


    On the one hand, modularization is convenient to wear, and on the other hand, it is easy to carry. It only needs an ordinary password box that can hold one million, and its total weight does not exceed 25 kg. Airplanes and the like don''t take up much space either.


    Except for the lack of a more advanced tactical display system, this set of exoskeletons has already met the advanced standards required by An Feng. Hoffman is also designing the ordinary version of the second-generation exoskeleton. Although An Feng''s set is good, it is too expensive. The cost is tens of millions, and the value cannot be estimated.


    Hoffman''s new task is to save costs without reducing performance too much.


    This is also a challenge.


    One morning, Hoffman ate breakfast and walked slowly towards the research room with the "Super Tablet" he brought out from the laboratory last night.


    Super Tablet uses GP''s chip test product, adopts the new architecture of the test, the main frequency is maintained at about 150GHz, and the operation speed is comparable to that of a minicomputer. The tablet in Hoffman''s hand stores the drawings of the second-generation exoskeleton booster system and the energy circulation system, which is particularly critical.


    Come to the door of the laboratory and open it through the fingerprint code lock. Hoffman revisited yesterday''s progress in his head. Today should be to improve the material design of the lower limbs.


    In view of his fanatical love for machines, at his request, the boss agreed to design a normal version of the exoskeleton based on his body data, which is really exciting. As for the boss''s expensive exoskeleton, it is the most perfect machine he made, and it can only be admired as a work of art.


    Thinking of this, he couldn''t help but take a look.


    Fingerprint and password lock to open the specially-made large safe, pull open the heavy door, and look inside.


    Hoffman was stunned, and took a closer look��empty!


    He even rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn''t hallucinating.


    But still empty.


    Thief! Hoffman''s dull brain thought of this, this is his hard work, not only the exoskeleton, but also a set of confidential information stored in the computer!


    After being at a loss for a while, he finally thought of calling the boss.


    An Feng had just sent Joanna to school at this time, when he received a call from Hoffman: "Ann, our things are missing, but they were still there yesterday..."


    Hoffman was talking nonsense, An Feng frowned: "Speak slowly, what is missing?"


    "The exoskeleton still has some computer data. When I opened the safe in the morning, I found that these two things were gone." Hoffman said.


    "I see, you stay there, I will deal with it." An Feng''s tone was calm.


    Hoffman rarely stammered: "You have to come quickly, I installed a set of GPS on the safe of the exoskeleton, the data in the hard disk is also encrypted, and it has a self-destruct program, as long as the other party cracks it violently, it will start automatically destroyed, but with higher technology, it can still be extracted.��


    An Feng backed the car out: "You stay at the scene and don''t touch other things. I will arrange for professionals to go there."


    "Hurry up!" Hoffman was very anxious.


    "Calm down." An Feng hung up the phone, dialed the airport private service, and asked them to drag the helicopter out.


    It is obviously too late to call the pilot, so I can only drive it myself.


    While driving to the airport, he called the Los Angeles branch of Aegis Security: "Send me the most professional security team!"

    An Feng got on the plane, turned around and hurried to Santa Clara County, and landed on the tarmac designated by the robot company 20 minutes later.


    After getting off the plane, I saw the distraught Hoffman running over.


    Although this guy is in his twenties, except for his steady scientific research, other aspects of his performance are like a high school student who has not been exposed to many major events. An Feng also understands the urgency of losing the most important things, so try to be patient and keep a steady tone when talking to him.


    "Tell me about the situation this morning in detail." An Feng said as he walked.


    "I got up in the morning, thinking about the blueprints, so I opened the door of the laboratory first, and opened the safe to take a look at the exoskeleton. Sorry, I just want to appreciate the elegance of the artwork, because it looks It looks so perfect, I never thought I could design..."


    An Feng reminded him: "Going off topic, what did you see?"


    "Sorry!" Hoffman returned to the topic: "I saw that the inside was empty, and the special lockbox and hard drive for the exoskeleton were gone."


    "What about that special tablet?" An Feng wondered. There are usually some important blueprints in the safe, or high-tech that GP has not released. Hoffman likes to collect rare objects. There are two minicomputers, a bunch of super batteries.


    Hoffman took out the tablet from the inner layer of clothes: "I brought it back last night, and I planned to calculate the endurance limit of the exoskeleton machine under high strength..."


    An Feng interrupted him: "It''s good that it''s still on you."


    Hoffman hid it back again: "No one can take it away."


    An Feng is speechless, with your small body, any strong man will be knocked down with one move... They came to the stolen research room, looked at the empty safe, there was nothing but a pile of blueprints . From the outside, there is no trace of violent prying, which proves that it was done by the technical party.


    An Feng asked: "How long did you work last night? I mean the work in this laboratory?"


    Hoffman said: "It was about two o''clock, around two thirty, and I was the last to leave."


    "What time did you come in the morning?"


    "Ten past seven."


    Hoffman''s answer shortened the time for the thief to commit the crime to five hours in the middle of the night. An Feng looked around, the security equipment in the laboratory was in charge of professional companies, including the safe, the surrounding monitoring, fire sensors and so on, and then he asked to call the monitoring.


    When his subordinates adjusted the monitoring, An Feng sat down and said to Hoffman: "Now it''s okay to track the location of the safe?"


    "No problem, it is dual-mode, and the general means of shielding the signal are useless." As he spoke, Hoffman sat in front of the computer and typed on the keyboard.


    At the same time, the security team dispatched by Aegis Security arrived at the scene.


    The team leader is a white man named Jeff Clark. He used to work in the FBI. It is said that he felt that the salary was not high enough, so he voluntarily resigned and started a more profitable high-end security field. Just like this kind of anti-theft or tracking cases, he is very good at it. After arriving, he quickly learned about the situation and learned that there was a GPS built into the box.


    Jeff immediately said, "Track it, show it on the map."


    Hoffman stared at the computer without blinking: "I''m doing it."


    Jeff said to a guy who also seemed to be a computer expert: "He''s going to be in charge of tracking, then you can help adjust the monitoring."


    Hoffman clicked the mouse a few times, and the positioning distance is shrinking, from California to Santa Clara County.


    "I found it, it''s near the airport more than 30 kilometers away from us!" Hoffman said.


    Jeff read: "Target is still with no signs of movement."


    His men recorded key information.


    Then Jeff took out his phone: "If that''s the case, it''s as simple as calling the field team."


    Jeff''s work is only responsible for tracking or anti-theft security of high-end items, which is to play with IQ. As for those violent behaviors, guarding important personnel, etc., it has nothing to do with him. This kind of work that tests the strength of limbs and physical response is usually It''s the big guys in the field team.


    After the phone call was arranged, Jeff did not relax. He said to An Feng: "I don''t believe it will be so simple. The thief''s method is very clever. I have known the company that installed the security equipment. The technology is not strong, but it is also Not bad, it can be taken away without a sound, and the means are extraordinary."


    After finishing speaking, Jeff went to look at the surveillance that was tuned out. Several people circled around and checked it several times. During those five hours, there was no trace of theft. The surveillance screen was always the same as before, and An Feng couldn''t see it either. What happened, the safe has never been touched, could it be a ghost?


    But he found that Jeff had been asking to play several time periods repeatedly, and he looked very interested. After watching it a few times, he said: "Stop!"


    Pointing to a place on the screen: "This is the shadow from outside the window, the time is 3:20, go back an hour and look."


    The technician stepped back for an hour, and An Feng seemed to see some clues. Jeff told the truth contemptuously: "The location is like a shadow, and the monitoring equipment has been hacked. These are all pre-recorded, looped videos. The interval is one hour. Play it a few more times and watch it."


    Jeff stared at the video, and said with his mouth: "Mr. An, please let other irrelevant people leave, and let the technicians extract the clues at the scene."


    An Feng said to everyone except Hoffman: "Go out first, keep things secret, and work as usual today."


    ��


    On the other hand, the special service team of Aegis Security has rushed to the location shown by the tracking GPS, and greeted the company branch, ready to greet the police here��in case there is a fight, a gun battle, etc., they can keep a case record, save At that time it is difficult to explain clearly.


    The six members of the secret service team put on body armor, a suit on the outside, and vacuum headsets. Team leader Mars got out of the car with several team members and surrounded the target location. The pistol was already in his hand, the bullets were loaded, and he could shoot at any time. Mars said, "In the house ahead!"


    "The search formation is advancing!"


    They dispersed immediately, armed with guns and waiting for battle. Through the comparison of mobile phones, they were getting closer and closer to the target, just ahead��


    "Stop! Overtake!" Mars suddenly raised his fist. The house was still more than ten meters away from them, but the location shown on the PDA had already passed.


    "Search in situ! Radius of fifteen meters!" Mars said.


    The team members scattered around, and a few minutes later, a sharp-eyed team member picked up an object the size of a grain of rice on the ground, lifted it up and said, "Where is it here?"


    Mars put away his gun: "Shit!"


    ��


    The technicians of Clark''s team extracted fingerprints from the surrounding area, but found not many. The only one that could enter the laboratory was the main entrance, and the other windows were also welded. Since it was originally a warehouse, the work in this area was very solid, and it was impossible to enter the laboratory silently. , violence is directly ruled out.


    At the same time, Mars called. After hearing a few words, Jeff said, "You guys come back here first to gather."


    Then Jeff said to you An Feng: "They saw through the tracking GPS."


    Hoffman, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Actually, there is also a tracking device."


    "Why didn''t you say it earlier?" An Feng frowned.


    Hoffman said weakly: "But that requires that when the machine is started, it will actively connect to the surrounding network signals, and only in this way can it be tracked."


    Jeff asked casually, "What is it?"


    Hoffman looked at An Feng, not knowing what to say, An Feng said: "A set of equipment, equipped with a computer chip, can connect to the Internet."


    Jeff saw that what he said was vague, and everyone was so nervous, it proved to be a confidential item, so it was not easy to ask. means to locate where it is?"


    Hoffman nodded: "Yes."


    "Who else knows?" Jeff asked.


    Hoffman said: "Just me, because this is not used to track."


    "From now on, please keep it strictly confidential." Jeff said to him, "It hasn''t been a long time since the theft was stolen, and according to what you said, it is obviously impossible for this large piece of metal to get on the plane. If the other party came by plane, the possibility It''s not big, and it''s not a jewel worth tens of millions��"


    "It''s worth a lot," Hoffman emphasizes.


    "Oh?" Jeff was surprised.


    An Feng explained again: "It''s high-tech, but it hasn''t been released. Only my employees know about it."


    Jeff nodded: "Assuming there is also the possibility of getting on the plane, but I think the most likely is that after they get it, they will obviously have to go through some means to inspect the goods."


    "So they will start the machine?" An Feng followed his train of thought.


    "Yes, as a backup plan!" Jeff said, obviously he didn''t pin all his hopes on the other party''s starting machine being tracked.


    Jeff returned to the monitoring side again, and it has been proved that he has been tampered with. An Feng really doesn''t understand the point of them continuing to study the video.


    But I am just a layman, there is no need to talk nonsense in front of former FBI experts.


    Jeff glanced at the video, and then reminded An Feng: "When this happens, you have to make a comprehensive analysis. The reason for the theft is either the leak of the news, or the inner ghost. If you guarantee that no one will release the news to the society, then It''s almost certainly your employees who have gone awry."


    An Feng thought for a while and said, "I can''t guarantee everyone''s innocence, but Hoffman is fine."


    Hoffman said gratefully: "Thank you sir for trusting me."


    An Feng smiled slightly.


    It��s just the guy who has to filter his lies several times in his head before he can express himself fluently. If he really did it, there would be no more stupid thief in the world, and he didn��t need to steal at all, because he knew all the technology, and so did the machine. He designed and assembled it. If he stole it, it would be as weird as taking the initiative to put his head in the door��and he did it three times in a row.


    Jeff took a look at Hoffman, he was a man with a strong brain but a weak life, unable to do this kind of thing.


    A computer technician staring at the video made a discovery: "According to the analyzed surveillance video and the comparison screen, it can be deduced that the time when they hacked the surveillance was between 2:10 and 3:30, and the video content at other times was very regular. , there is a 90% probability that it was recorded normally.��


    An Feng understood, that is to say, the time when the other party hacked the monitoring was the time when they committed the crime, and the monitoring in other time periods was working normally. In this way, the time for committing the crime was shortened to more than an hour. Use has been fully utilized.


    Jeff said: "Switch to the surveillance outside and watch the video from 2:00 to 3:30."


    The technician took it out and watched it again, and it was still calm. Through the comparison of shadows and environments before and after, it proved that the video here has not been moved.


    An Feng wondered, did he really escape from the ground?


    Jeff turned his head and asked Hoffman: "Do many people know how to open the combination lock of the gate?"


    Hoffman nodded: "Five people in my group know it, and so do other groups."


    "Where''s the safe inside?"


    "Just me and two other technicians, but the others..." Hoffman scratched his head, not knowing what to say.


    An Feng said for him: "He doesn''t pay much attention to the secrecy of this aspect."


    It means that the password is against gentlemen but not against villains.


    ��But it also has fingerprinting,�� Hoffman added.


    "It''s useless, you can use a piece of plasticine to copy your fingerprints." Jeff shook his head and said, "Now it is basically certain that this was done by an insider."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 191： confusing

    Chapter 191 Confused


    It''s not that An Feng didn''t pay attention to the issue of security and confidentiality before. For example, the security laboratory specially hired by the robot company, he really cared about the confidentiality of information, and specially customized a large safe. The seller once It is claimed that 10 kg of C4 cannot be killed.


    Regardless of whether it is bragging or not, it does not have to be violent to open.


    The ghost inside the company is one of the cracking methods. An Feng made a mistake, and it is difficult to defend against house thieves by day and night! He turned his head to look at Jeff and said, "If it''s an insider, everyone in the company except Hoffman is suspected. What to do next is up to you."


    Jeff nodded: "We know what to do, as long as you give permission, sir."


    "Let''s do it, and deal with it as soon as possible." An Feng took out his mobile phone, walked aside and answered a call.


    Guri called, and he said on the phone, "Dude, are you in trouble again?"


    An Feng was helpless: "Yeah, a few thieves stole my equipment. It''s so **** unlucky. I have installed so many security equipment, from cameras to explosion-proof doors to large safes. All of them are useless at critical moments. It is better to be smashed to pieces and snatched away than to be intact now."


    Gu Li judged on the other end: "The intact situation is either encountered by international thieves, or has an inner ghost, or a combination of the two."


    "It''s about the same. Jeff said it was an insider, and it is currently being investigated." An Feng said.


    "Jeff Clark? He''s very good. I''ve worked with him for a while. This guy has been in the FBI. He can read minds. Be careful when you face him. Remember to keep your expression on. Don''t let your emotions pass by. Show your movements and demeanor, otherwise you will be eaten to death by him."


    An Feng smiled: "Why do I feel that you have suffered from him, and remind me instead?"


    Guri said: "Of course, you are the boss, and he still relies on you for salary, so don''t worry about him blackmailing you, but it''s always right to be cautious, and no one guarantees that you will quit."


    "Okay, I accept your suggestion." An Feng said.


    "I will send a quick response team to support. In this case, the possibility of gang crimes is very high, so there will be brains and hands. Brain Clark is very good, but the team is good at fighting, and it is also used as an actual combat training. Test their tacit understanding."


    While An Feng was talking on the phone here, Jeff Clark had already started arranging private interviews. The method was very simple and effective. People are usually an important part of clues. Although the uncertainty is high, for him who has learned a set of mind reading skills, he is good at finding clues from behavior.


    He started with the two researchers who also had the safe authority, but in his mind, being able to plan meticulous theft methods usually would not make himself too high-profile, so their suspicions became lower instead. The first researcher was named Donald, and answered Quite well-behaved, there was still indignation towards the thief in his tone.


    The same is true for the second place, except that the guy named Jason hesitated when answering his question. From his expression, he had some concerns in his heart, so Jeff used it in a very calm and irritating way. Said in a trusting tone: "Please rest assured, sir, we are alone now, the whole conversation process is kept secret, no one will know what we have said and what we have done except you and me."


    Jason made up his mind and revealed: "I feel that a researcher named Larry in the second group is very out of shape recently, often looking at the safe..."


    Jeff listened to the pile of facts and added a lot of personal inferences to the description, and felt that Jason was very gossipy, sensitive to his surroundings, and good at grasping details... As for the man named Larry, he also arranged to meet. Larry looked nervous, his eyes evasive.


    Jeff''s questions are lighthearted, roughly: how are you doing? How are you? How many children are there in the family, etc., are common topics.


    Larry also slowly relieved his tension.


    Jeff suddenly got to the point: "Do you have any plans for the future?"


    "Huh?" Larry was taken aback, "What do you mean?"


    Jeff smiled and said: "It''s nothing, I''m just interested in your life plan. I read the information, and you have changed many positions frequently in the past five years. Have you found something you like to do?"


    Larry said: "I found a job I like here, and I know you are doubting me, but I promise, I didn''t do it."


    "I will not doubt people without reason, nor will I make judgments casually." Jeff smiled, "Okay, your answer is over, please go ahead."


    After Larry left, Jeff asked to focus on the major incidents that occurred in his previous employment, and arranged for 24-hour monitoring and monitoring of him-of course, Aegis Security will not admit the latter two. Because they are industry benchmarks, they will never touch the law.


    Part of the focus right now is on Larry.


    But Jeff is not a person who is easily satisfied. Like An Feng, he was curious about the means used by the other party to enter. After the questioning was over, he entered the scene of the crime. After turning around, his eyes stayed in the corner and were ignored for a long time The next vent, he called his men and took a ladder to go up.


    "It is specially made, and the screws are screwed on from the outside with an electric screwdriver. There is no obvious trace of movement, and it should not be able to be opened from the inside." The above team member said.


    "Any fingerprints?" asks Jeff below.


    The team members shook their heads: "Not found."


    "Unscrew it," Jeff said, looking like he wanted to get to the bottom of it.


    This vent is also specially made by the security company. The blinds are reinforced by horizontal bars, and the screws are screwed on the outside. It is very difficult to open, but Jeff has challenged this type of L with homemade tools before. A font screwdriver, the turning part can be unscrewed patiently.


    The team members used an electric screwdriver to unscrew the screws, opened the ventilation grille, and took a strong flashlight to probe in. Due to the draft, the pipes must have accumulated a layer of dust, but this time the flashlight shined on it, and a large area was covered with dust. Clean, proof someone has been there recently.


    "Found it!"


    "Come on!" Jeff said.


    ��


    When An Feng was having dinner with Joanna, he learned the latest progress by phone.


    Putting down the phone, Joanna asked concerned: "Any clues?"


    An Feng wiped his mouth with a napkin and nodded: "Yes, it was discovered that the burglar came in through the ventilation duct, but the security company made it more difficult for me. At that time, the ventilation duct was not facing the street outside, and several insurances were added. So they first climbed up to the roof through the outer wall, and then dismantled the ventilation ducts to get in. What they have to do now is to call the surrounding surveillance to see who is around at that time."


    Joanna said: "These thieves are really annoying! They have hands and feet and don''t do serious things, but want to steal. They are bad guys and have a good mood!"


    An Feng''s mentality is still stable: "Don''t be angry, I have already prepared sufficient security measures in the early stage, and I can only say that I am doomed to be stolen."


    Jeff''s tracking team chased all the way from the ventilation duct to the roof, and then judged the possibility of intrusion from several surrounding walls, and asked the special service team to contact the local police. They agreed to assist in obtaining the monitoring equipment of other companies and enterprises around, and Monitoring of surrounding intersections, etc.


    However, there is a lot of work here, and it will take at least a day or two to filter out the results. For this reason, Jeff specifically chatted with Larry about the progress of the matter.


    The atmosphere was not tense. Jeff took two cups of instant coffee and sat with Larry, sighing: "It''s not easy. I have been working so much recently, and I have to tense up. I always want to throw away all my work and take a good rest for ten days. On vacation, basking in the sun by the sea with my wife and children.��


    Larry nodded: "Everyone is under a lot of pressure."


    Jeff said with a smile: "I hope we can share the pressure for this company. Recently, we have made a lot of breakthroughs. We have found out the thieves'' means of entry, and we are cooperating with the police to find suspicious objects through license plate or face comparison." You know that the face recognition system recently added by the police is very advanced, as long as there is a facial outline, the specific information of that person can be found through the database."


    Jeff talked about a lot of detection methods, and also talked about the clever theft methods he has encountered.


    "The most powerful thief I have ever caught broke into the exhibition hall by paragliding. When he escaped by using the fire alarm, he specially prepared a silicone mask that looks like the staff. If it weren''t for someone with sharp eyes who found this guy today You should take a vacation, and that famous painting should be lost."


    Larry looked up at Jeff and said, "Okay, I''ll tell you the truth."


    Jeff nodded: "Please speak, don''t be burdened."


    "I didn''t do it!" said Larry.


    Jeff also nodded: "Tell me about your evidence?"


    Larry said: "I don''t know how you guys doubt me, but I never planned an exoskeleton. I just took a drawing of the leg joints inside and wanted to modify it for my wife who has mobility issues at home. Put it on..."


    "What''s the matter with your wife?" Jeff asked.


    When Larry heard his question, he covered his head in pain: "She was in a car accident, and her left leg was amputated from the knee to the knee. She is now in the hospital, and her mood fluctuates a lot. She said that I am a machine maker and asked me to build it for her. A mechanically assisted prosthetic leg, she doesn''t want to use the prosthetic limb provided by the hospital... After seeing the company''s highly skilled leg drawings, I couldn''t control it, so I wanted to imitate a machine that could be used in medicine."


    Jeff asked: "So you''ve been staring at the safe these days, trying to put the blueprints back in place sometime?"


    "Yes." Larry nodded, "I didn''t expect that the safe was stolen at this time. I was afraid that everyone would know that I took the blueprint."


    Jeff sighed, and then said: "I suggest that you better talk to your boss, if there is a reason for it, he may forgive you."


    "You don''t doubt me anymore?" Larry looked at him.


    "Because what you said is right." Jeff stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Greetings to your wife for me, wish her a speedy recovery, and face life optimistically."


    "Thanks!" said Larry.


    The clues were broken again here. Larry did have a ghost in his heart. He took the company''s drawings, but to be honest, he didn''t involve core secrets, nor did he leak them to the outside world. The starting point was only for his wife. Not good, I just want to return the blueprint with trepidation.


    Jeff lights himself a cigarette, where is the next step?


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 192： come to light

    Chapter 192 The truth comes out


    With the most suspicious Larry ruled out, things are at an impasse again.


    The investigation team has completed the investigation of the employees, and almost everyone is suspected, but the suspicions are big or small... Jeff filters the appearance of each person in his mind, years of memory training, he can remember in a very short time A person''s characteristics and set a preliminary judgment.


    It has been two days since they took over the case, the longer it drags on, the easier it is for things to change hands, I am afraid that next time it will not be in the United States, but around the world. Jeff has dealt with this kind of people for many years, and he is very clear about their psychology. Even if they have to go around the world and return to the United States, they will do it just to falsify the source.


    Larry''s suspicion cost them a lot of time. Jeff had an intuition that this was the opponent''s smoke bomb, which successfully made them wander in the fog.


    When he had an inference in his mind, there was also news from the secret service team.


    The police use an advanced recognition system that can accurately recognize license plates and faces. Of course, it is worth a lot of money every time it is used, but it depends on the target. The super rich have spoken. Money is just a string of numbers. He can even Let the police in Santa Clara serve him.


    Near the outer wall of the robot company, cameras from other companies were installed, and according to the hours before and after the time of the incident, they focused on screening and finally identified a few suspects, most of whom were minivans, because they had to carry Tools, sedans are clearly inconvenient.


    Among them, a small truck with a common style that appears frequently but does not have a license plate is worth noting. It''s one of those street ice cream and donut trucks, very common, but the fact that it doesn''t have a license plate is suspicious. It''s a pity that there are not enough images, only the back view is captured.


    Although Mars of the special service team is good at force, it doesn''t mean he has no brains. If you can''t see this section of the road, you will spread it around and screen the same model...After comparing the computer database, you finally screened out a car with a license plate The minivan, the color is more or less the same.


    The police immediately checked the license plate number and concluded: "It has stolen the license plate. If there is a car with the same license plate as him, the car is the real one."


    Mars stared at the screen and asked, "Is there a frontal photo of it?"


    "I''ll look for it again." The policeman said.


    After repeated inquiries, I finally photographed a small section of the front of the car on a turning road section. Through image enlargement, face data was collected and compared with the police database, three people who matched the characteristics were obtained, and then according to their age, work, etc. Information, leaving a Mexican.


    "He is in the downtown area of ??San Francisco. He usually operates fishery transportation. He has a lot of trucks under his name. The address is here..." The police clicked on a few lines of data on the screen.


    Mars mobile phone received the data, and said to his team members: "Get ready to act."


    ��


    After An Feng learned that the secret service team had made a breakthrough, he applauded their efficiency.


    If the police are allowed to do it, this kind of thing may be delayed for a long time. The police in reality in the United States are not like those in the movies. They are all tough agents in suits. Those police officers who are super fat and eat donuts and fast food all day long are very corrupt and bribery, but they have little investigative skills.


    While fast also has unruly reasons, the actions of the two groups crossed the line in many ways, including their illegal monitoring, accessing the police database, carrying rifles with large magazines, etc., but so what? Aegis Security contributes a lot of money, and they have private cooperation with the police-information sharing.


    Security companies work with money, so they are highly efficient, and every time they find a lot of irrelevant crime information��some of which are very important to the police. This relationship has been in the security industry since the beginning, and the police and security companies have always been partners on the surface or in secret.


    After obtaining the other party''s information, the secret service team prepared to conduct non-lethal means of arrest. San Francisco is a downtown area, so of course it is not allowed to carry a rifle in and shoot. They generally use stun guns, net guns, or non-lethal weapons such as smoke bombs and tear gas bombs, which are legal and will not harm innocent people.


    While An Feng was waiting for the result, Jeff called.


    Jeff said: "Mr. An, I think we can continue to look for breakthroughs from internal employees. I already have key suspects."


    An Feng said: "Mars'' special service team has already acted."


    What he implied was that he found another clue, so that the original trouble would be unnecessary.


    But Jeff disagreed: "Sir, you can''t guarantee that everything will go to the end along one line, the opportunity is fleeting."


    "Okay, tell me your inference."


    "I feel that the researcher Jason, who has access to all the codes, is a suspect."


    "Didn''t you rule him out last time?" An Feng said, Jason and Donald are both technicians with Hoffman, although they are helpers, they have access to the code.


    "I feel that the matter is a smoke bomb. He deliberately pointed the clues to Larry, wasting a lot of our time, and according to my professional judgment, my intuition tells me that there is a difference between his surface and his heart. It is a pity that the tools are not available now, otherwise I will There could be a surprise interrogation of him."


    "Are you sure? There won''t be a misunderstanding?" An Feng said cautiously. It would be expensive to doubt people casually, and it would eventually lead to a deadlock in the relationship, let alone cooperation.


    Jeff said: "I can''t be sure, but I have a very strong hunch that this time I was almost devolved into a maze."


    "Okay, do it according to your idea, I will let others bear the consequences, be careful not to make too much noise-in the end, don''t tell me this is a misunderstanding!"


    "Don''t worry, I have a measure." Jeff assured.


    After getting An Feng''s permission, Jeff began to concentrate his efforts on Jason. He felt that this guy was really calm, and he played a very good trick. But this is only Jeff''s subjective judgment. No one can guarantee what will happen. He just increases the possibility.


    ��


    Mars'' operation team surrounded the apartment building where the target was located.


    There are many Chinese people in this area, and the buildings are all apartment-style buildings next to each other. There is a parking lot below, and the residents upstairs are more complicated. Pistols to avoid conflicts between gangs and them due to misunderstandings.


    They came to the corridor on the fifth floor, and a middle-aged Mexican with a beer belly walked towards him. Seeing a group of black suits approaching, the two mustaches on his lips curled up, and he turned and ran.


    Mars was taken aback, and shouted: "Chase!"


    "Second group, he ran over, stop him!"


    A group of people were chasing after him, and Lao Mo was running in front. He knew the terrain very well, and turned left and right to the other side. This guy was about to go down the stairs, but another group of black suits rushed up, all with guys in their hands ! He turned around and ran in another direction, smashed the corridor window with his head in his arms, and jumped to the top of the fourth floor outside.


    Mars rushed to the window, stepped on the window sill, and jumped out. The people in the other teams had a clear division of labor, some kept up, and some went downstairs to block...Old Mo couldn''t last long, and with a beer belly, he was obviously not as good as these energetic guys who trained all day long.


    Mars chased after him, estimated the distance, and rushed, put his arms around Lao Mo''s neck and threw him to the ground. When Lao Mo tried to resist, the cold muzzle of the stun gun was aimed at his neck. Stein shouted: "Want to taste the taste of high-voltage electric shock? Shit!"


    ��


    The news of Lao Mo''s arrest came back.


    Jeff took advantage of the opportunity to attack Jensen. During the second round of investigation, Jensen remained calm, but Jeff, who was good at collecting expressions, found that he could not sit still. No wonder, after all, Lao Mo''s part should be perfect. The license plate was taken off, and after leaving, the vehicle was repackaged and a new license plate was installed.


    But I never thought that the police''s face recognition technology had been upgraded.


    This time technology has the upper hand.


    When Mars conducted a surprise interrogation of Lao Mo, Jeff also properly revealed some information to attack the other party''s psychological defense��if he really did it, then under the frequent and disorderly questioning, he would show his feet sooner or later... Jensen protested: "I''m leaving and getting back to work!"


    Jeff smiled: "Please suspend work."


    "You are not a policeman, so you have no right to ask me to do that!" Jason said dissatisfied.


    Jeff still smiled indifferently: "I have no right, but your boss does. He asked you to stop working first, chat with me in the office, and have a few cups of coffee. It''s okay? Do you still want to go to work? Skip work and go out to pick up girls? I don''t think your boss will be happy!"


    Jensen was not convinced: "Even the boss, he can''t trap me here in this disguised form of detention, which violates human rights!"


    Jeff shrugged and pushed his mobile phone to him: "Then call the police! You should know the influence of Mr. An. The police is just to let you talk to me in another place. The police station is not more comfortable than here, Look, how big the office is, and the central air conditioner!"


    Jason was angry: "What the **** do you want to know? I didn''t do anything, and I was treated as a suspect for no reason? Or Mr. An thinks that he can really influence all law enforcement agencies and make everyone shroud Under the shadow of the capitalists? These words have been published in the newspapers, I am afraid it is very interesting?"


    "Please calm down!" Jeff still smiled, "It''s okay, you have your rights, but you should also know that Mr. An is very angry about this matter, and you should understand his feelings. To tell you the truth, now not only It''s the security company, and even the police, and the local gangs are starting to help."


    Jensen''s chest heaved violently: "Are you threatening?"


    "I''m not threatening, just a kind reminder. I''m a citizen, and I have freedom of speech." Jeff said with a smile, "As long as you tell me what you know, Mr. An will stop those who are not very smart, such as The local gangs, they don''t have that much scruples about what they do."


    Jensen resisted: "I am innocent, you are framed! The place was bought by you, but the state will not, nor will the federal government. I will make the matter public!"


    Jeff put away his smile: "I will never repent!"


    He took out a few photos of his body and threw them on the table, "Look for yourself, you appeared around the company''s outer wall for a certain period of time, and there are surveillance videos showing that you had several contacts with a Mexican , combined with your ''friend'' who has now been captured by us."


    Jensen finally saw a trace of panic in his eyes when he saw these surveillance photos.


    Jeff continued the offensive: "The guy who took the lead to catch him was a guy who served in Iraq. They have a lot of methods on how to torture prisoners of war! I can guarantee that there is a book on how to get Mexicans to talk. , so how do you think things will end up?"


    Jason swallowed, his brow sweating.


    Jeff looked up at his watch and continued, "It''s still half an hour before Mr. Ann''s plane arrives, and I believe he wants the result now. So I''ll give you a chance, and I''ll intercede with him for you, and let the responsibility just be The burden is on you alone, and there is no need to involve other innocent people."


    Jason sat down slumped, leaned on the back of the chair, rubbed his face with his hands, and said, "Can you guarantee it?"


    "Of course, as long as things go well," Jeff said.


    Jason said frankly: "I caused the incident. After I accidentally released the video of the exoskeleton test, I heard that an intermediary was very interested in it and offered 20 million yuan to get the prototype, so I thought carefully. Vote with my brother and a Mexican he knows, and some fellows we''ve got."


    Jeff said: "Your brother is really capable. Do you know what the intermediary you are talking about is an international procurement intermediary. They do all kinds of goods, stolen goods, and business including human life, and those who know this kind of person are nothing more than international procurement intermediaries. Criminals. But it doesn��t matter who you steal from, but Mr. An.��


    Jason smiled bitterly: "It''s all my fault for trusting them!"

 Chapter 193： quick response

    Chapter 193 Quick Response


    The truth has come out.


    When An Feng arrived, Jason explained the cause and effect of the matter, including the number of people who committed the crime, how to survey the company''s outer wall, and the internal design drawings they found, how to bypass the monitoring equipment, and use technology to hack the monitoring...they It took half a month to prepare the plan.


    When Jason faced An Feng, his expression was very flustered, and he talked about the rule of law and human rights, but for a powerful rich man like him, it was ridiculous to say these things. Jason begged: "Mr. An, I am responsible for the matter. Don''t blame my family. It is my fault. I am willing to bear it!"


    Someone brought a chair for An Feng, An Feng sat down in front of him, crossed his legs, if he had another cigarette in his mouth, he could go to make gangster movies now, but unfortunately he doesn''t smoke. After hearing Jason''s words, An Feng''s voice was a little cold: "Where are my things now?"


    Jensen said honestly: "Los Angeles, we agreed to wait in Los Angeles."


    An Feng turned to look at Jeff, he nodded: "The team will act immediately."


    ��


    After Mars wrinkled Old Mo into a panda, he didn''t get any useful news from him. He only knew that Jason really wanted him to help transport some things, and he had a bunch of sneaky people with him, but he completely watched the process. In less than half an hour, the car was parked, and then drove to the San Francisco pier.


    But that was enough to expose Jensen.


    Not long after, he was notified by his superiors to take his weapons and equipment to the airport.


    Mars feels high-profile��because they have guns on their backs. It is not always possible to let the SUV drive directly into the airport and enjoy the exemption from inspection.


    The team stopped in front of a luxurious Gulfstream business jet. After boarding, their boss Ann and an assistant sat inside.


    Mars stepped forward to greet him: "Mr. An, nice to meet you!"


    An Feng shook hands with him very gracefully, and then said: "After the preparations are completed, we will leave for Los Angeles immediately. You arrange an action plan, and the additional weapons needed can be provided by the Los Angeles branch. On the police side, I will go and talk to the Los Angeles police. Say hello to the bureau officials and give you enough time."


    Mars felt domineering from these simple words.


    Those thieves were unlucky to meet people like An Feng, black and white all turned on green lights, and they even defaulted to using weapons with large magazines, just to handle the case before the police... It is equivalent to a pardon order! This ability makes people jealous, but the strength of its foundation makes jealousy powerless.


    ��


    Jeff and his team remain at Robotics.


    Even Jason is not sure whether his accomplices will urgently change places after Lao Mo is taken down. Now their communication has been disconnected. They said that they will continue after the transaction is completed and safety is confirmed. connection. According to Jeff''s temperament, a single clue is prone to failure, so he prepared a backup: Hoffman. This guy inadvertently implanted a chip capable of locating targets via satellite.


    Although there has been no sign of power-on these days, as long as there is hope, it is worth waiting.


    An Feng''s special plane stopped at Santa Monica Airport, and several tall GMC off-road vehicles were waiting aside to pick up the fully armed secret service elites on the plane. Los Angeles is a branch of Aegis Security, which is currently expanding and developing, which is equivalent to their second site.


    An Feng boarded the Mercedes-Benz SUV that specially picked him up and rushed to the Los Angeles Police Department.


    In the car, assistant John said: "The secretary called just now, saying that Mr. Cole is already waiting for your visit in the office."


    An Feng nodded: "Very good."


    An Feng''s private armed forces are unscrupulous in the front, so it is natural that someone needs to settle the trouble behind them. Otherwise, one illegally carrying a weapon is enough for them to drink a pot.


    Cole is currently a member of the LAPD Director''s Committee. When SHIELD Security was expanding, he met at a buffet meeting. He was recommended by the state assemblyman and met several times later, so he has a good relationship. An Feng also donated some money. In addition, he has a great background, and Cole will not give him face.


    Unless he really wants to retire and get his head blown off by gangsters.


    Being a police officer in Los Angeles is not enough to be purely white or purely black. The society is very complicated, and you can get along better if you have both sides. At least when there is a big case that the rookie police can��t handle, some gangs can also provide useful information. clues, but the price is the family of the police and robbers.


    The corruption of the police in Los Angeles is also notorious. With the name of "Crime Capital" spread all over the United States, there are still many people who want to make a movie about corruption.


    An Feng met with Cole in the chief''s office. Besides him, there was also a police chief.


    After exchanging a few pleasantries, An Feng got to the point: "Gentlemen, recently a group of international thieves stole two valuable things from me."


    Cole politely said: "If necessary, we will provide help."


    "I am very grateful for your justice and responsibility, sir. With you in charge of the police in Los Angeles, the crime rate will definitely continue to decline." An Feng smiled, "But the matter involves some privacy. In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, my bodyguard has already Action, so on some things..."


    Cole knew what it meant: "Law enforcement officers from all walks of life are responsible for arresting international thieves. As long as the friction and conflicts that occur are not too bad in nature, we can all understand."


    An Feng was very satisfied: "The security company only got an order from me to take back the items. Other people involved in the case also need the police who uphold justice."


    Cole''s eyes lit up, isn''t this just giving credit? He didn''t need to make any effort on his side, and he didn''t need to investigate the case. In the end, he only needed to be notified, rushed to the scene "in time", arrested these criminals, and then published in the newspaper.


    Even if he is not familiar with An Feng, he will be willing to accept this kind of thing.


    ��


    The special service team led by Mars broke into a warehouse in the Los Angeles coastal area.


    They have changed the assault rifle in the car. Although it is still semi-automatic, the magazine has been expanded to 30 rounds, which is a temporary license.


    Before the action, everyone put on a mask and a helmet. The Kevlar bulletproof helmet is just in case, and the mask is to prevent being recognized. After all, this is a high-risk occupation, and it is easy to provoke enemies. It is best to hide your face when it is not necessary, so as to avoid trouble after retirement.


    There are five targets they want to capture, and three of them are good at using force.


    The shotgun smashed the doorknob twice, kicked the door open, and the team members threw flash bombs and shock bombs in, and the strong light and sound waves instantly stunned the people inside.


    The members of the special service team rushed in, controlled the people who were stunned to the ground, or those who were crawling in tears, pulled their hair and pulled their heads up to compare their appearances one by one.


    However, there is no matching target.


    "Report, the front yard and the back door have been searched, and no suspicious targets have been found!"


    Mars put down the gun, pulled out the pliers hanging on the tactical vest on his chest, and came to one of the guys with tattoos who looked like a gangster, and pinched his face. Mars had been conveyed by the distorted voice of the machine. Come: "Tell me, where are those people?"


    "I don''t know who you''re talking about!" the man yelled.


    "It seems that you are a stubborn guy!" Mars gestured to the team members with his eyes, one of them stepped forward and pressed his palm on the stool, and the special pointed pliers in Mars''s hand were inserted between his nails, Accompanied by that guy''s scream, he grabbed his nails and pulled them out violently!


    "Ah!" The guy''s cry was like killing a pig.


    "I won''t promise to be so straightforward next time." Mars smiled sullenly, and clamped another nail again.


    "I said!" The man couldn''t stand it, he was dead anyway, and he would rather hurry up: "They have already driven the speedboat out and are going to land on the freighter outside!"


    Mars took the photo from his companion: "Are you sure it''s these five guys?"


    The man looked and recognized three: "Only these three!"


    "How long has it been?" Myers asked.


    "about an hour!"


    "F**K!" Mars threw the photo on the ground and kicked him. The guy rolled on the ground twice before stopping, begging for mercy with blood dripping from his mouth.


    Mars took out his phone annoyedly and reported the situation here.


    ��


    After An Feng received the report, they were one step too late again.


    The police chief analyzed: "Obviously, they go to sea to trade on the high seas. International intermediaries believe that high seas transactions are safe, because if they are arrested, the law enforcement power belongs to the ship''s registration country, which is usually Panamanian. Therefore, this case It��s not convenient for the police to intervene.��


    "The high seas?" An Feng thought for a while, then dialed the phone to Gu Li.


    At the same time, Hoffman finally received the signal.


    Jeff called An Feng: "The position has been released, but it is on the sea surface and is currently stationary."


    An Feng said: "The rapid response team has been dispatched!"


    ��


    Guli arrived with his quick response team a day ago. After being notified by An Feng, he dropped the phone and shouted to a group of strong men who were sweating in the gym: "Three minutes! Get me fully armed and gather in the playground immediately." , bring your equipment! Only three minutes!"


    The strong men disappeared within three seconds.


    Three minutes later, two black-painted Bell 205 helicopters had landed on the playground, and the clothes on the person swept by the rotating air stream rattled. Eleven bodyguards in military uniforms, body armor, and assault rifles boarded the helicopter. In terms of equipment scale, they pay more attention to actual combat.


    Mars'' special service team has to scrupulous about local laws, and the weapons they carry are not very lethal. As for the quick response team, their goal is to be fast and straightforward. This time, there are two machine guns on the plane, which are fully automatic, and they were obtained through illegal means, but on the high seas, at most, they are used up and thrown into the sea.


    The helicopter took off from the training base in Los Angeles and chased towards the sea.


    After about forty minutes, the distance to the destination indicated by the GPS was getting closer and closer. Guli put down the PDA, and there was no need to look any further. There was only one cargo ship around.


    Guli spoke in the team channel: "The first team provides support from the air, and the second team listens to my order and prepares to land on the deck!"


    "receive!"


    Sure enough, Guli''s worry was necessary. As soon as the plane approached the cargo ship, sporadic gunshots were heard, and bullets whizzed into the air.


    The plane had to raise the altitude.


    Guli glanced at the armed personnel on the deck. The weapons were from the AK gun family. These weapons are the cheapest and most practical... But Guli has more powerful ones. He picked up an M249 machine gun and sat in the open cabin At the door, there was no warning, and they fired directly at the deck with "boom boom boom".


    There was a machine gunner on the left and right sides of the helicopter, and the powerful firepower beat the people on board until they couldn''t lift their heads.


    Assault rifles want to compete with machine guns in firepower, but they are sprayed at high altitudes, as if they are dead... Hundreds of machine gun bullets are swept down, and it is too late for those people to throw away their guns and escape. How dare they raise their heads and fire. Gu Li easily replaced another magazine, and a hundred rounds of bullets were enough for him to consume.


    "Push them below the deck!" Guli once again pulled the trigger and suppressed the ground with firepower, and then issued a second order: "Second groups quickly rappel!"


    "receive!"


    Another helicopter, under the cover of aerial firepower, lowered its altitude, ropes hung down from both sides of the cabin, and members on each side rappelled to the ground. The tactical formation was deployed, and the assault rifles were used to conduct a carpet search... Finally, all personnel were gathered on the front deck, and the air and ground guns were aimed at them.


    According to the comparison of the photos, the commandos took down the three guys, and after breaking a few teeth, they easily asked where the box was.


    A team member got the box, opened it for inspection, and found a whole set of black and shiny exoskeleton lying safely inside, he closed the box, and reported: "I have got the things!"


    Guri said: "Very good! Handcuff them and take them to the helicopter, the second team returns to the base, the first team stays, and drive the boat back to Los Angeles with me!"


    Subsequently, Gu Li informed An Feng that the matter was over. The task has also entered the final step: let the police finish. The capture of international thieves and international procurement intermediaries, these two notorious professions, no matter which one is caught, it is a credit, not to mention there are several big fish this time!

 Chapter 194： not necessarily a bad thing

    Chapter 194 is not necessarily a bad thing


    The LAPD and major TV stations in Los Angeles are very busy tonight.


    The whistleblower is the police. It is said that an unidentified cargo ship was found in the offshore area of ??the United States. There were many armed personnel on board, suspected of arms smuggling. Then LAPD responded quickly, dispatched helicopters and special police to quickly surround the cargo ship, landed on the deck to fight, and controlled a group of gangsters.


    Following them, they found a batch of arms that they wanted to smuggle to South America, as well as some precious jewels that were stolen from the ship, and several suspects wanted by Interpol. The rewards on them alone exceeded one million dollars. The police can be described as straightforward and agile, and have gained a lot.


    Cole praised the speed of the police officers and stated that the crime rate in Los Angeles has recently decreased. The implication is that I have done a good job. If you are in politics, please vote for me... An Feng glanced at the news, except for the last shot From the scene of escorting the suspect, everything else is fake.


    This time, the Los Angeles police easily arrested a group of arms smugglers, international thieves, and international procurement intermediaries without a single soldier. It''s all a great contribution, and it was also praised by the governor.


    But in fact, two guys were controlled by Aegis Security, and only one was handed over to the police, and the rest were still useful, because there were seven people in the gang, and two are currently at large, and those two happened to be holding secrets. Hard drive, which stores complete exoskeleton drawings.


    Although not as important as the exoskeleton, it is also classified.


    If other people get the blueprints, it is easy to make an exoskeleton. If the military gets it, they can equip special forces in a few years. It is impossible to universally popularize it. It is very expensive and the battery alone It will cost at least one hundred and two hundred thousand. Not necessarily good stuff to buy.


    An Feng didn''t want to promote these machines that could be used in the military. He wanted to make the third-generation exoskeleton, or a robot using an exoskeleton... The ideal is too beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Just because you don''t want to, doesn''t mean it won''t happen passively. He had to face the fact that the data had been lost.


    That night, Guli used a set of methods used by the former Soviet KGB to torture prisoners, and tortured one-third of those two guys.


    Why one third? There are many reasons. Da Mao''s torture methods are world-renowned. As the secret service of the former Soviet Union, KGB has mastered the essence of Mao Zi''s torture. There are not many people who can enjoy a complete set all the way, and those who can persist to the end and not open their mouths...no.


    No one in the world can withstand torture, the difference is "sooner or sooner" the confession.


    Gu Li once said that the farther you travel in the black world, the easier it is to confess. If a top killer is caught, he will confess without hesitation, and then ask for a quick death. Because he knew that it was impossible for him to insist on never speaking, unless he had the will to never speak.


    Those two guys were crying and yelling about everything before the show started.


    Then Gu Li made an emergency dispatch, dispatching two special service teams to chase down the remaining two people... Unfortunately, it was too late. As soon as they heard the news, they immediately went to the empty building and disappeared into the vast crowd. It is said that they have several identities, and they may not be in the United States anymore.


    Gu Li said regretfully to An Feng: "I''m afraid this hard drive will come back, even if it can be brought back, the data inside may have been copied."


    An Feng frowned: "Is there any way to deal with them?"


    Guri hesitated for a moment, and said: "The first is to let Aegis go on the record and wait for the rabbit, but the chance is very small; the second is to play black, and offer a reward on the head."


    An Feng asked: "Is that the kind of international intermediary you mentioned?"


    Gu Li nodded: "That''s right, when the rich are in need, they can contact the intermediary. The intermediary finds a suitable executor through their means. During the whole process, the customer''s information is kept strictly confidential. Even if the executor is arrested and the intermediary suffers, There is no way to find out who hired them."


    An Feng propped his chin and thought for a while, then asked, "How much is this kind of person?"


    Guri said: "Three million is enough for them to die, and with a little more money, they can choose the method, such as drowning, being hit by a truck, car bombing, etc."


    An Feng said: "You help me deal with it."


    "No problem." Gu Li nodded, and he asked again: "Did it leak and the consequences would be serious?"


    An Feng nodded: "If it is used in the military to equip soldiers to participate in wars... For example, if the United States and Russia go to war, ordinary soldiers are no match for this kind of mechanical killer. This Pandora''s box was opened by me. It can be counted on my head."


    Guli understands it clearly, but he doesn��t think so: ��Actually, everything has two sides. Before the atomic bomb was manufactured, didn��t people intend to use nuclear fission as a new energy source? If you think that the responsibility lies with you, then the manufacturer of the gun Now it is estimated that I will die 10,000 times!"


    An Feng knows the truth, of course it is. The Five Great Changs are the five countries that sell the most arms. If you say that, they deserve to die ten thousand times.


    But when things happen to me, I always feel a little guilty.


    He has to do something to fix it.


    ��


    Afterwards, he asked Jeff and Guri to stay and redesign the security program specifically for the company.


    Eat a pad to gain a wisdom, this time it was stolen, so be smarter, what should I do if there is a second time in the future? Therefore, not only the security measures, but also the need to send additional professionals. For the core technology��not only the robot company, but also the research center, GP company needs to upgrade its security level.


    Then, he and Hoffman sat down to discuss the direction after the leak of the secret.


    Hoffman made his deduction and said: "If it is obtained by a large organization, it will take about half a year to imitate it according to the drawings. I spent almost half a year under your guidance, but my information is included in the information. Experience, they can learn from experience and finish faster.��


    An Feng nodded: "Half a year, it''s pretty fast."


    Hoffman hesitated, and said: "But they can only manufacture the mechanical part. As I said before, the core of the exoskeleton is the power system, chip and energy. Now that they have the first one, maybe the control chip can also be made. , but it cannot accommodate all sensors at the same time like a graphene chip.��


    An Feng followed what he said: "That is to say, the feedback will be wrong, and the arm can be broken with a slight shake of the hand?"


    Hoffman nodded: "That''s why you had this the first few times, unless their silicon technology is more advanced and the processing speed is faster."


    An Feng smiled: "That''s not bad."


    Hoffman continued: "As for the last point, energy is the most important thing. If the chip is willing to spend a lot of money, it can be designed, but if there is no strong energy source, the system is simply scrap iron, and the battery we use The blocks are all custom-made by GP."


    An Feng deduced: "According to your understanding, even if they can manufacture machinery, they still have to rely on graphene chips and super batteries?"


    An Feng can��t make a conclusion from a subjective standpoint��because he thinks all technologies are simple, and exoskeletons are nothing more than that.


    Hoffman nodded: "The chip is not necessarily, but the battery is necessary. GP''s technology is very strong in this regard."


    "This..." An Feng suddenly thought of a good idea, stood up and said excitedly: "Thank you for reminding me, I don''t think this is a bad thing!"


    He just thought of two points. Even if the exoskeleton is manufactured, it still needs chips and batteries from GP, which is the only one in the world that can provide it. That doesn''t mean that the manufacturer must purchase his, and it is a special order. , and therefore need to pay a big price?


    In this way, this loss can be turned into a disguised merchandise promotion.


    If you want to sell products better, you obviously cannot lack a sense of urgency��the sense of urgency can come from many sources, and the most typical one is competitors.


    You have to have competitors to catch up before you are willing to spend a lot of money to order!


    If only the United States has mastered it, others cannot catch up, and there must not be much demand from a single customer. If there are also American opponents, there will be more potential customers. According to the speed of technological development, it will take more than five years to imitate graphene chips, and it will also take five years to imitate graphene batteries.


    There is no guarantee what will happen in the future, but now it depends on the GP company.


    Since the loss of secrets is irretrievable, An Feng simply promotes the technology to other countries. The five majors cannot be exclusive to the United States. Letting it dominate alone will also mean that other countries will suffer misfortune. Therefore, China, Russia, Britain and France must have all four, which is a means of balance.


    After everyone participates in the competition, the demand for chips and batteries will definitely increase, which also means that GP Energy''s products will sell better.


    But there is also an important point to consider: the trade embargo.


    As we all know, European and American countries led by the United States have always imposed strict commodity embargo measures on China, including weapons, high technology, CNC machine tools, and mechanical parts, which are not allowed to flow to China. The object of the embargo is not only China, Russia, North Korea, Cuba, etc. are all listed.


    NATO countries restrict the development of their opponents in this way. Because of the embargo, China didn''t even have a switch, nor could it connect to the Internet. Therefore, it is definitely not easy for Anfeng to export such things as exoskeletons. Government intervention is inevitable, and it is hard to say that they are included in the embargo list.


    If technology transactions are carried out on the surface, the robot company will be severely fined, and even its business license will be revoked, and the legal person will be arrested and shut down for more than ten years. If it is an anonymous gift without a trace in private, who can control it? Donation is not enough, so why not open a company in a foreign country with another identity?


    After the technology leaked, it would not hurt to give An Feng away for free. After all, he never planned to make money from exoskeletons. After sending it out, I accidentally discovered that GP can still make money from the chips and batteries needed for the exoskeleton. In addition, it can also balance the strength of the five major individual soldiers, which can be regarded as a contribution to international peace.


    Another way of thinking, the loss of confidentiality is not necessarily a bad thing.


    The technology of the exoskeleton has been released. I am afraid that no matter how it is hidden, it will always be available one day. It will be "leaked" sooner or later. Now, however, I voluntarily hand over the technology, abandon the interests in this area, and turn a corner to seek a broader one. In the end, I can still enter the right track of business.

 Chapter 195： Open black plan [three more]

    Chapter 195 Opening the black plan��Third watch��


    (Addition of 592 votes)


    ��


    But the implementation of the plan, the initiative is not in An Feng''s hands.


    It is no problem to give away exoskeleton technology for free, such as to China, but there is a saying that good steel should be used wisely. Send it out now, in exchange for a word or two of thanks, and after the United States develops it and shows it off in a high-profile manner, he will deliver it to your door, which is of extraordinary significance.


    As for the rest of the countries, the principles are the same, and they have to be played at critical moments. Another example is Niu Niu, no matter how good Ying Jiang has a good relationship with it, he will not immediately share the latest technology. Didn��t Ying Jiang only sell F35 instead of F22? Therefore, in private, in the name of someone or a relationship, how well this is an emotional card!


    I feel that Shino has been blinded by Taishan recently, and losing things may not be a bad thing...just be careful in this process. First apply for a patent on the hybrid power assist system - this thing covers a wide range of areas, the military is only a small part, and civilian applications such as medical equipment, car power steering, and large machinery are all useful. As for the overall patent, he does not intend to apply for it. Whoever controls it counts. It involves a lot of trouble in the military.


    An Feng leaned on the seat, put his hands on his head, and looked up at the blue sky. He planned every step in his mind. He didn''t know who got the hard drive. He hoped that the US government would also have a share, because only They have enough financial resources and strength to mass produce.


    According to Hoffman''s prediction, the results may be produced in half a year, and the research and development team will encounter various problems, the most obvious being energy - those ordinary lithium batteries can make the exoskeleton operate for an hour. GP''s current strongest product is estimated to be able to run for ten hours.


    The set of exoskeleton customized by An Feng can last more than 30 hours, and the battery technology is 30 years ahead, and it is the only set. This shows that he was nervous when he lost the exoskeleton. Even if the exoskeleton is lost, it is not as important as this set of batteries. It is against the sky, and can even be used to make electric aircraft.


    Back to the original point, it is expected to be lively in half a year��even if the Americans keep it private, An Feng will let the robot company participate in the robot exhibition in San Francisco. So the plan will start in half a year, and now he can prepare for new orders.


    Preliminary predictions show that the orders for batteries or chips in this area are not high, and it is impossible for exoskeletons to manufacture more than 100,000 vehicles a year like electric vehicles, so the price of batteries can be slightly increased, and the dedicated energy pack costs eight to ten yuan. Super batteries, each set sells for more than 100,000.


    No matter how you count, there will be at least a hundred groups, right?


    It doesn��t make much money, and it��s not as good as batteries that can spread to the public, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it��s meat, even if it makes up for the research and development costs of the exoskeleton... In addition, there is also the technology of computer chips. After much deliberation, the United States may use chips, but it is unlikely that foreign countries will use them.


    After all, after so many things, everyone has become smarter. It is not unheard of for the Americans to leave a back door for chips. Iraq, which was killed in the Gulf War, is a typical example... An Feng had a whim, why didn''t he leave a back door? ? It is hidden in the chip and activated at critical moments.


    Chips have limited military use, but civilian use can be extended to the whole world.


    How technology is getting more and more developed, chips are not dedicated to computers, especially after electronic devices are equipped with smart phones, mobile phones, printers, car computers and so on.


    In case of any trouble later, he just needs to open the back door and disable all equipment... The idea is evil, but it works. He had to find an advanced technology in his mind. He couldn''t see it now, and he couldn''t detect it in the future. After removing it, the chip would be a "normal part" that would be disabled.


    The machine brain that has not been used for a long time is running at high speed again.


    As a result, such a solution really exists! And... still a lot! It feels like this knowledge is specially prepared for this moment! In the past, An Feng''s life was smooth and smooth, and he didn''t think about this problem. This pile of things was piled up in the corner and covered with dust. Now that he took it out, he found that it was all treasures.


    "Genius!" An Feng admired the people who came up with these endless tricks��although he didn''t know whether it was designed by people or something.


    An Feng also discovered that not only computer chips, but also many electronics-related things can be set up with backdoors, and the degree of weird tricks is beyond the imagination of people in this era. When it does not erupt, it is a necessary part for the operation of the equipment. Once it erupts, it becomes a demon of destruction!


    It is said that the more high-tech things are used, the greater the hidden dangers, and even a virus can paralyze them. The same goes for so many high-tech technologies in An Feng''s mind, and the designer left several or more than a dozen "administrator permissions" correspondingly, and only he has a way to control them.


    It''s like the current graphene chip, which is used in the server, is designed with a back door that can paralyze it, but no matter how the developers test it, they don''t have the advanced consciousness of An Feng, and they will only think it is a normal, Important core, parts that cannot be removed.


    Although An Feng wasn''t sure whether he would need it in his life, after digging out this huge amount of information, there was a consciousness driving him to do so.


    Don''t be afraid of 10,000, just in case. When he is in trouble one day, this may be a gold medal for life.


    ��


    An Feng temporarily stopped the robot company''s exoskeleton research and development.


    The incident of the theft had just passed, and the two suspects were wanted by black and white roads all over the world. Several other participants, Jason and several of his accomplices were all thrown into prison. The legal team will prosecute them, and at least they will have to stay in prison until their hair turns gray, or they will be killed by the inmates inside.


    He kept Larry, who was modified with blueprints of exoskeleton legs.


    Larry, to be honest, the blueprints he took were not the key confidential objects, and it was just convenient to put them in the safe. Moreover, he did not plagiarize the company''s technology, but just modified the basics and changed it into a set of mechanical feet that are beneficial to the disabled. It is also an intellectual creation.


    The reason for keeping Larry is nothing more than talent. Although he can no longer participate in the exoskeleton program, he can be reassigned to civilian machinery. As far as the development of medical equipment is concerned, Larry''s plan is very good, and it can provide people with troubles in this area with an experience that is no less than that of normal limbs.


    This is considered a good thing.


    Larry was very grateful for his innocence and vowed to make a contribution to the company.


    An Feng accepted these guarantees.


    After this incident, everyone knows the background of the boss of the robot company. Even if they have small thoughts, they will kill them as soon as possible. To be able to mobilize so many people within a few days and carry out a thousand-mile pursuit, before you want to make a move, you''d better weigh your weight enough to die a few times.


    Stop R&D On the one hand, the company''s security system is being established. In addition to the retinal scanning, voice recognition and other advanced security recognition systems in the future, a group of professional security personnel from Aegis Security will be appointed to take charge of the company''s security matters in shifts. .


    In addition, Gu Li also reminded him: "This used to be a factory, the congenital conditions are not good, and the later modification will be very troublesome. I suggest you change the location."


    An Feng asked: "A building like the research center in Los Angeles?"


    Guli nodded: "Of course, this is the best. The company''s professional team can relocate a set of strict security equipment from the ground floor to the top of the building. It is currently the most high-end on the market. Coupled with professional security personnel, whether it is technical or violent , the probability of theft will be reduced to a minimum."


    An Feng said: "According to what you said, it''s better to build a new building. You can adjust the building style according to the safety plan, and implement it from the bottom up."


    Guli agrees: "This is of course a high-level security method, but the cost is a bit high, but it is not a big problem for you. We can design a comprehensive system that will be monitored and detected from the moment you step into the company, so that All trespassers have nowhere to go."


    An Feng admired him, the idea is really powerful.


    But he has strong intentions. First of all, the office building of the robot company is really... shabby. It was okay to say at the beginning, but now that various plans are expanding, the two-story office building has become crowded, and it is a ventilated building. Large warehouse, safety conditions are not up to standard.


    In addition, various problems caused by the manufacture of the third-generation exoskeleton, such as high-tech materials, special steel, high-temperature superconductors or 3D printers, etc., the current industrial technology cannot meet the requirements, obviously need new industrial enterprises to undertake, and Complementary with robotics companies, specializing in high-tech fields.


    So a building with perfect security conditions is necessary. Both equipment and personnel are used, high-end security equipment is used, and professional security guards from Aegis Security are assigned to station. Set up different confidential research departments in the company, no longer need to take the risk of exposing high technology in the warehouse, like the plan to temporarily rebuild a safe, it has too many security shortcomings. After all, secrecy is the top priority at the moment.

 Chapter 196： money season

    Chapter 196 The season of spending money


    An Feng adjusted his direction.


    The current priority is not to recover the stolen items, but to add some special technology and leave a "back door" before GP company finalizes the mass-produced model of the chip. When necessary, it can be activated through the network. If the other party is a local area network... This is a bit difficult.


    But not without solutions.


    On the way to Austin on the special plane, An Feng dug out some feasible solutions in the brain of the machine.


    For example, a passive signal receiver is added to the chip with extremely sophisticated technology, and it is passively determined that it will be activated after receiving the signal, and then open the "back door", spreading like a virus on the LAN. It doesn''t matter whether you are on a local area network or the Internet, everything is useless.


    If it is powerful enough, in a few years or ten years, when the major banks in the United States replace their servers - at that time, GP Electronics will definitely dominate, quietly leaving a powerful back door, allowing the virus to invade the bank server, casually put yourself The account amount of the account is modified.


    But there is no such treacherous technology in my mind, and once the virus backdoor is activated, it will only bring damage. The monitoring of the bank is not vulnerable. It may be no problem to change a few thousand dollars, but if the number is too large, the account will be treated as money laundering being monitored. Both the FBI and the IRS are very keen on this point.


    It''s too risky, and it''s not as fast as his own money making. Ten years later, An Feng is convinced that he must be a tycoon with millions of dollars a minute. Why worry about being wanted by the world once he is exposed? I am afraid that the speed of making money is comparable to that of banks printing money! It''s better to leave a hidden back door.


    There is no need to confront a country. This is a life-saving measure, not a provocative act.


    ��


    The plane landed in Austin, and the company sent a Tesla model-s to pick him up. This model is still a confidential model, and the low-end model has appeared at the auto show and is accepting reservations. But the high-end version, which claims to be able to run up to 850 kilometers, is waiting for the Frankfurt Motor Show to completely kill gasoline cars.


    Tesla��s strategic vision is still very far-sighted. After a breakthrough in battery technology, the world��s demand for electric vehicles has skyrocketed. Tesla originally produced more than 100,000 vehicles a year, but now it is estimated that 250,000 vehicles are not enough. Three years later, if the price of batteries can be lowered, the world''s car production should be reduced.


    After all, the cost of clean and green electricity is much cheaper than gasoline. What is still waiting to be seen is the price of the car. After all, the low configuration of 70,000 yuan and the high configuration of 80,000 yuan are still not affordable for all American families. Europe is similar, and their cars are not necessarily cheaper than in the US.


    Thinking, the car has arrived at the GP company headquarters.


    The construction site next to it is surrounded by walls, and when you look up, you can see the towering hanging towers busy at work. It is said that the new building is 22 floors high, and it also accommodates multiple R&D laboratories inside. It is very suitable for microchips to be developed in office buildings. Light industries do not have high environmental requirements, and they can also take into account confidentiality.


    Learning lessons from the past, secrecy is really important now. Even though GP has a high degree of secrecy, it still cannot be lax in preventing problems before they happen.


    The car stopped, and the assistant Eve stepped forward to open the door.


    An Feng got off the car and walked ahead, and Eve briefly reported: "The company has entered the late stage of chip research and development. According to Team Leader Song, several architectures have basically been established. In addition, other materials derived from graphene have also made breakthroughs. The market is currently adjusting accordingly.��


    "Very good." An Feng nodded, "My main purpose this time is chips."


    Eve asked: "Is there any important changes?"


    "There are some, but it doesn''t affect the current structure." An Feng said, shook hands with Song Wenrui who came, and said: "Let''s talk as we go, things are a little urgent, I found a new BUG, ??which will affect performance. Hope Be able to make corrections in time and try not to affect your progress."


    Song Wenrui said: "That''s really a formidable loophole. We tested it a dozen times and didn''t find it."


    An Feng didn''t say much, if you can find the problem, it would be hell.


    His urgent modification now is to add a "destroy button". According to the progress reported by Song Wenrui, there are still a lot of adjustments that can be made, and mass production has not yet been established. Therefore, even if it is called off, it will not affect the overall process, and even the technicians hope to slow down.


    The current speed is too fast, and they are also a little unsure of right or wrong.


    This is also the consequence of hacking. I am afraid that no one has ever encountered in history. There are no examples of scientific and technological research and development, whether in theory or steps. The only mistake is the experimental method-this still varies from person to person. But theories are impenetrable...it''s amazing.


    Therefore, when An Feng mentioned that there was a bug, they felt relieved and did not find any mistakes during the whole process. Instead, they were frightened and suspicious... An Feng did not comment on their ambivalence, but now it is necessary to install an expert and install the hardware backdoor. Add it quietly.


    No matter what type of chip is produced in the future, the back door will automatically exist.


    It went very smoothly. The extremely destructive technologies in my mind were born for "speed" and "concealment", so I arrived at the company in the morning and solved the trouble in the afternoon. A few words of praise: "The work is very good, and it is expected to be finalized by the end of July. Congratulations first, after the establishment of the subsidiary, I promise to reward you with generous original shares!"


    Everyone swept away the usual depression and cheered collectively: "Long live the boss!"


    An Feng accepted everyone''s praise.


    Before leaving, he arranged for Eve to plan to enhance the security level. With the robot company''s theft warning, his secrecy has been strengthened. GP company''s technology is more important and more valuable. is a disaster. So Aegis Security will be stationed.


    In addition to professional security, we also need to improve the entire set of security equipment, replacing the old password recognition with voice, fingerprint and high-level retinal scanning. In addition, the company''s anti-theft system has been fully upgraded. Once an intrusion case occurs, an overall defense plan will be triggered immediately. , Do heavy insurance.


    Eve documented everything and made sure to prioritize it.


    An Feng took the plane back to California with satisfaction.


    ��


    He is in a particularly good mood these days.


    Joanna, who was reviewing the exam knowledge, was also infected by his joy. She came behind her husband who was humming to the computer, put her arms around his neck, leaned on his back, and asked with a smile, "I heard you hum five times in a row. Play this song again, have you encountered any good things recently?"


    An Feng hugged her into his arms: "How could you forget? We just experienced such a big and good thing last year."


    "Anniversary?" Joanna said.


    An Feng nodded: "It also counts, but... how should I put it, it is our most important day, but the destructive power is still not enough for what we are about to encounter."


    "I can''t guess." Joanna put her head on him, frowning: "I haven''t used enough brains lately."


    "It''s just a test." An Feng patted her head and smiled: "Let me reveal the answer, mid-June is about to usher in the season of spending money!"


    "The season of spending money?" Joanna felt that the statement was weird, but after thinking about it, she understood: "Oh, you mean that Mosaic should pay you the contract money?"


    "Bingo!" An Feng nodded with a smile, "I''ve been counting down for a long time. The US account is 1.26 billion, and the offshore account is 770 million. See how proficient I am at reciting it? It''s hard to imagine that we are relying on more than 10 million yuan. It has been supported until now, and it still feels that the consumption level has been rising."


    Joanna curled her lips: "You still say you are poor with more than 10 million yuan? I''m afraid you are the richest man in the world who is short of money!"


    An Feng didn''t take it seriously: "Who let the federal tax law irritate people, no! When I think that if I don''t have a reasonable spending plan this year, I will have to pay another 440 million US dollars in personal taxes, my heart is bleeding... How about this, How about I just buy you a luxury brand?"


    Joanna looked up: "Are you sure you have to spend all the money?"


    An Feng nodded, then shook his head again: "No. I mean, within the scope of tax calculation, I must find a way to deduct it, and the rest, of course, will be kept as capital, but the capital of more than one billion yuan It''s not necessary, money will easily depreciate if left alone, and it''s not like you don''t know our net worth."


    In addition to his salary, An Feng''s companies are all very valuable. As far as GP Energy is concerned, the valuation is hundreds of billions. The existence of GP Electronics, which is about to be established, can beat IBM and Intel is even more astronomical. Pharmaceutical factories, research centers, robotics companies... money is really just numbers.


    Joanna nodded: "It always feels exaggerated, but it must be true."


    An Feng said: "That''s why I said it''s a season to spend money. Enjoy it to the fullest. After the holiday, please pack yourself with extreme luxury. Remember this year''s British Jockey Club? Then you will find the benefits of more money, Almost able to cover the limelight of all women."


    Joanna smiled: "There is nothing I can do about you."


    ��


    In addition to worrying about money, An Feng paid attention to Tailan by the way.


    Strictly speaking, Tailan was merged into a subsidiary of Legg Mason at the beginning, and it quickly expanded to every corner of the United States, and then developed to the world...but its earning speed is far less than the stock price with several daily limit! At the beginning, they bought Tailan for more than 14 billion. In less than half a year, the stock doubled and easily recovered the investment! An Feng, who knew about it after the fact, also learned a lot about the money-making power of the stock market.


    He naively thought that even if the stock price rose, Legg Mason would need more than three years to make money back, but he didn''t expect that it only took half a year, and the more than 10 billion spent did not affect the foundation at all, but made a lot of extra money money, and used the money to quickly expand his empire.


    If Anfeng hadn''t sold the fertilizer at the beginning, but had chosen to develop and grow, the effect would have been so strong. But that''s the same thing, if you develop slowly, I''m afraid I don''t even think about luxury business jets, luxury cruise ships, super luxury houses, or spending money everywhere.


    So things have their own definite number somewhere.


    An Feng is not jealous of Mosaic''s prosperity. In his opinion, this is also a phenomenon of ensuring that the money is paid on time. If Mosaic is still struggling after getting the super fertilizer and the profit is meager, then An Feng should really worry about whether they can pay The annual cost is more than two billion.


    It''s not a problem now. Mosaic''s monopoly is very successful. It is expected that in January next year, Anfeng will still be able to enjoy a 14% share of the annual sales profit. According to the published report for the first half of the year, the trend is very good, the cost is low, and the profit is high. Maybe I can still get four or five billion at that time.


    Life has never felt so good.

 Chapter 197： Royal Ascot

    Chapter 197 Royal Ascot


    When An Feng was waiting for the money to arrive, he handed over the plan of the new company building to John. Considering that it would specialize in the development of high-tech in the future, the construction problem was handed over to the construction company, but the safety problem required the intervention of Aegis Security. . Another thing is also related. The security company has always had expansion plans. After discussions between CEO Mensek and the company''s management, they decided to expand in California, which has the greatest potential.


    An Feng met them at the Los Angeles branch. Since the robot company was stolen last time and the company showed strong security and tracking capabilities, he felt that his investment was worthwhile. Even if it cannot bring him profits, the importance of the armed forces that can be mobilized at critical moments is self-evident.


    The rich man is only accompanied by three or five bodyguards, but what about him? An expanding security company. In terms of hierarchy, he is indeed a level higher.


    An Feng, the Los Angeles branch of Aegis Security, has been here several times. It is a bit far from the central area. It is a two-story building with a training ground that can park two helicopters at the same time. There are more than 20 security officers stationed here, including 11 people. Most of the rapid response teams are in training on weekdays.


    Generally speaking, this company is very cohesive, and everyone has the desire to succeed. Mensek is noble and provides a platform for veterans to show themselves. As we all know, American soldiers, some of them returned from overseas, have some neurological problems, such as PTSD, and it is difficult to integrate into normal society.


    After these people leave the army, they either wash dishes or drink and fight. The society is out of touch with them. If they don''t have a good career plan, they will be useful on the battlefield and stay in society as harmful scum. What Mensek considers is how to continue to restrain them with military regulations and make use of their abilities.


    An Feng met Mensek and Guli in the office building.


    Without much fuss, Mensek said: "Based on the current scale of the site, it''s a bit small. Our plan is to rent an office building in the city center, which is usually used to receive customers and provide fast service, as the conductor of California center, processing information and coordinating officials."


    An Feng asked: "There shouldn''t be such a big venue in the central area, right?"


    "So the plan is to separate the office building from the training ground. Los Angeles is too dense and there is no suitable training ground. We plan to rent a large training ground in Wentu County, 60 kilometers away, northwest of Los Angeles. There is a lot of land and the rent is low. It��s cheap, and it��s not too slow with a helicopter.��


    An Feng looked at the map and was very satisfied: "Yes, the scale is several times larger than it is now. If there are problems with funds, I can continue to invest."


    Mensek said with a smile: "The current funds are quite sufficient, but Mr. An, if you want to improve, you can invest in the purchase of a batch of equipment for the office building."


    "What type?" An Feng asked.


    Mensek turned to look at Guli: "Guli is still proficient in crime prevention."


    Guli said: "If we continue to strengthen our capabilities, we can add a set of servers. We cooperate with the Los Angeles Police Department to share a part of the personnel database and use the servers for comparative analysis. When performing other security tasks, we can quickly rule out whether there are criminals suspected of committing crimes." personnel."


    "It''s very good!" An Feng likes it very much. The crime database of the Los Angeles Police Department is very strong. Not only some fugitives in the United States have been overthrown, but there are cases in other regions, and even criminals in the world also have information. When performing tasks, they can pass The branch''s command center improves work efficiency.


    After the discussion, Anfeng decided that after the contract amount was credited, he would invest another 20 million in Aegis Security, increasing the proportion of shares to 70%. Reasonable investment expenses can also be regarded as deducting part of personal tax. As for Aegis Security, with so much money, their plans are petty!


    20 million is definitely a lot for a security company, and it can even set up a new one. Therefore, after the California plan, Mensek and Guri together, the big boss is so bold, he can��t be timid, right? Simply expand the west and east at the same time, one distribution in Los Angeles, and one in New York.


    Anyway, there is a lot of money, so don''t worry about the capital chain not keeping up.


    ��


    In the middle of June, the weather is clear, the birds are singing, and the days are free.


    When Joanna came home, her first priority was to get clothes and hats from various well-known designers. In order to prepare for the Royal Ascot, she spent a lot of thought, coupled with An Feng''s unscrupulous pampering, the result was a five-day event, but there were more than a dozen sets of clothes as options.


    In addition to the well-tailored clothes, there are also beautiful necklaces, earrings and other jewelry, as well as several handbags specially designed for matching... Compared with the ladies who are trying their best to steal the spotlight, An Feng is very simple, a few sets of tuxedos are in London is waiting to pick up the goods, and after the preparations are over, the special plane departs.


    Gulfstream G650ER undertakes the work of intercontinental flight, with a range of more than 12,000 kilometers, it is easy to fly to Europe, even Russia. There are also father-in-law and mother-in-law, as an annual event, they will also participate this year, but the figure of the bear boy Andy is missing.


    I heard from Kelly that Andy went to reunite with his grandparents, and the Jockey Club is a carnival day for gentlemen and ladies, so it is really inconvenient to bring a child.


    "I agree to have their own space!" An Feng said, the stewardess poured champagne for them, and he toasted: "I wish you all a happy holiday these days!"


    In a pleasant atmosphere, the plane landed in London.


    An Feng originally planned to invite Frank and Kelly to live in his apartment in the city center, but they all had their own plans, so they declined with a smile. An Feng hailed the car for them very sensiblely, watched the two parents leave, and then he and Joanna got tired of doing whatever they wanted.


    An Feng applauded, the parents-in-law are so enlightened.


    Joanna told the truth: "I think everyone''s purpose is the same, and romance is not limited to young people."


    "I agree." An Feng nodded, "There are still a few days before the opening ceremony. Should we arrive early to meet the Sinclair family, or continue..."


    "Get ready to pack!" Joanna emphasized.


    They drove to Savile Row, a famous mecca for men''s clothing and a prime location for tailoring, where the word "custom" originated. The No. 1 store is the most classic among them. They once customized a dress for Prince William, who was married, and there are countless high-end customers.


    An Feng specially ordered a few sets of tuxedos here last time, in order to prepare for the horse racing festival in June. Although the cost of tailoring clothes is high, you can get a suit that suits you best. It''s really interesting to change clothes and stand in front of the mirror, put on a top hat, let alone, it''s really interesting.


    ��


    The day before, An Feng met Sinclair in Windsor Town.


    Bazel, his wife, and son Charlie were present. Matthew was absent due to business, but his daughter Catherine arrived as scheduled. Although it has not yet opened, everyone is dressed up grandly. Like Joanna, the dresses that were not selected are used in daily life, which is naturally luxurious and dazzling.


    In addition, there are some friends from different regions.


    An Feng was also fortunate to meet a few low-key gentlemen... To be honest, if these people didn''t have an Oxford accent and a serious appearance with a tight upper lip and no emotion at all, you really wouldn''t be able to tell that they came from extraordinary backgrounds. This aspect is the same as Bazel, rigid and rigorous.


    The next day, they arrived at the scene by car.


    Esco is only about ten kilometers away from Windsor Town. An Feng drove a sports car, carrying a well-dressed Joanna, and it took less than ten minutes to arrive there. They didn''t come early, and the nearby parking spaces were almost full. Fortunately, Bazel had reserved several parking spaces in advance.


    Everyone got out of the car, and the men were nothing more than a typical gentleman''s three-piece suit, dark tuxedo, vest, trousers, and an extra tall top hat. If it weren''t for the cool summer in London, this outfit would be stressful. And ladies, I''m afraid it''s hard to have enough words to describe them.


    For Joanna, today she is wearing a white printed morning dress and a beige rose-shaped hat that is worn diagonally. Most of the highlights are concentrated on the head and face; while Catherine��s black round The brim hat is even more exaggerated, filled with animal feathers...Every lady passing by, whether it is a morning dress or a hat, is very distinctive, and the shape is bright and exaggerated, which is the opposite of a gentleman.


    It is said that the Asco Jockey Club is known as a paradise for ladies�� dresses and crazy hats. The well-dressed ladies and their hats make you feel as if you are in a sea of ??high-end outdoor fashion at a glance. Creative, quirky, conservative...the list goes on.


    The Jockey Club is held at the local racecourse. At this time of year, whether it is the mysterious royal family or the low-key nobles, they will appear in uncharacteristically high-profile costumes. The high-class people gathered, and the ordinary people gathered together. It brought groups of different status and status together to celebrate this grand event.


    Thanks to Bazel, An Feng and them are located in the center of the auditorium, with a huge awning above their heads, so they can enjoy enough coolness in summer. After everyone was seated, a dedicated waiter brought them champagne and beer to add to the fun of this grand party.


    Joanna said to him: "Despite the superficial luxury and mystery, it is actually a carnival. Every year, hundreds of thousands of bottles of champagne are consumed at the Jockey Club."


    An Feng was surprised: "Then there are a lot of drunks?"


    Joanna nodded and looked around: "Most people here have status, so they pay more attention to performance. But the surrounding audience seats are generally more excited, just like crazy fans at a football game. , will always find ways to celebrate."


    An Feng knew that wherever there was horse racing, there would be gambling. Whether it is the UK or the US, although the crackdown on gambling is very strict, horse racing is out of the question, and the law does not control it, so these days will also be happy days for bookmakers and spectators who are interested in playing a game.


    Chatted with friends again, greeted the same grand father-in-law and mother-in-law, walked around and clinked glasses with British friends I knew, and pretended to communicate with a few Oxford accents, through this kind of code to show that I also have an identity... The heavyweights always come last.


    Members of the royal family appeared on the stage in a convertible car, and all the cameras and mobile phones were raised. The queen''s appearance is the focus of the Jockey Club every year. Although the old lady is old, she is not weaker in her pursuit of fashion than the young. This year, she is dressed in pink and wearing a multi-layered carved top hat, with a lively style.


    Then there were various members of the royal family with brilliant looks. It was the first time An Feng saw these people with "class" symbols in reality, so he focused his attention, looking here and there. But I found that there was nothing special except that everyone''s voice was relatively high.


    An Feng can summarize based on what he has seen: Princes are not necessarily handsome, such as Charles who guards the throne until his hair is gray; princesses are not necessarily young and beautiful, such as Anne who is over 60 years old. In the future, if someone tells him how beautiful the prince and princess are...


    An Feng turned to Joanna and said, "No wonder you didn''t bring your child."


    "Why?" Joanna didn''t understand.


    "Destroy the fairy tale!" An Feng pursed his lips with a sullen expression.


    "Ha��" Joanna covered her mouth and smiled, pinching him: "Don''t make me laugh anymore!"


    You have to emphasize that everyone is the same when you get older, which is of course a good comfort. But in addition to the active prince, there are several other young princesses... To be honest, I don��t feel too sorry for the audience. Seeing everyone��s voice is so loud, An Feng can believe that the British pay attention to "temperament".


    There is a saying on the Internet that there are many ways to praise girls. Beautiful girls are called beauties, unbeautiful girls are called cute, and neither beautiful nor cute are called...temperament.

 Chapter 198： team plan

    Chapter 198 Team Planning


    The first day of the Jockey Club was very lively and grand.


    It allows the audience to appreciate a feast of dresses and hats, and feel the beauty of beauties from all walks of life, and it also satisfies people''s exploration and yearning plot for those princes and nobles. On the first day of the Jockey Club, the British royal family made a collective appearance, and the normally low-key nobles also made a rare high-profile appearance.


    There are even visitors from other countries, such as the sheikh of Dubai who has a big beard but also appears in a suit and sunglasses. He heard that the sheikh likes horse racing and came from afar in his private capacity. There were also several members of the royal family in Qatar, and An Feng saw Khaled who was mixed in the team.


    There are many heavyweights on the first day, so there are many arrangements. After watching for a while, An Feng socialized with Bazel. He also has his own circle in England. Although not all of them are royal nobles, these celebrities and tycoons are the ones who have real wealth, so it is very worth making friends and familiarizing with each other.


    With the face of Bazel, everyone did not dare to underestimate this Chinese. An Feng has learned a lot. Although the UK and the US both speak English, it would be a mistake to think that they are the same. In some respects, they are opposite. For example, Americans like to be grand and enthusiastic, while the British are more restrained.


    Tightening the upper lip, it is true to describe a gentleman with absolute restraint.


    Joanna joked before: "They are calm, humble and low-key. If they really want to express their emotions, they will use dramatic or exaggerated ways, such as: I won the Nobel Prize because of the mistakes of the judges; thank you The error in measurement made me win the marathon.��


    But there are exceptions to everything, for example, not all Americans are enthusiastic, there are **** beaches in the UK, and some people in China eat cheese. However, in the upper class, the nobles and the rich abide by the rules, restrain themselves and not easily express their emotions, and reflect their "class" in this way.


    Bazel also said to him: "Fundamentally speaking, Britain is a country that distinguishes social status through language and accent. The upper class has a unique way of doing things, and emotional outbursts and excessive emotions are considered gaffes. Of course , Ordinary people don��t need to control their emotions, and that��s why they are the lower class. In our case, excessive emotionality must be avoided.��


    An Feng understood, no wonder it was said before that dialects are only regional dialects in other countries, but in the UK, they mean social dialects. Just like Bernard Shaw''s famous play: "My Fair Lady", the heroine has to work hard to change her accent to get rid of the traces of life in the lower class.


    Joanna gave him this kind of impression at the beginning: she speaks authentic Oxford English, has absolute self-restraint, and is always emotionally stable.


    It''s naturally iconic, a high-rise representative of the upper class, but without the joie de vivre. Fortunately, An Feng continued to subtly influence some of Joanna''s habits, making her more natural, instead of living in the lifeless atmosphere of aristocratic society.


    ��


    The Jockey Club Anfeng for several consecutive days feels good.


    The main reason is that there are a large group of ladies who show their beauty to the fullest, which is indeed a beautiful thing to look at. Joanna was no exception. Her clothes and styles were carefully prepared. According to the environment of each day, she was particular about what jewelry she wore... An Feng, who had completed the three-piece suit, was glad that he was a man.


    But when the well-dressed lady came out holding his hand and communicated with all parties without losing her style, it was all worth it. The limelight on the racetrack was taken away by the ladies, and the gentlemen kept a low profile as gentlemen, and the only thing they could show off was their female companions.


    Especially the third day, known as "Ladies'' Day", is different from the previous two days. Today''s style is more free, showing individuality, with a major modification on the basis of morning dresses, and even women wearing semi-see-through clothes to catch people''s attention... Ann Feng condemned this provocative behavior with his eyes.


    While criticizing inwardly, a voice sounded behind him: "Mr. An?"


    An Feng looked back, then smiled and shook hands with the other party: "Nice to meet you, Khalid! Do you also like to watch horse racing?"


    Khalid nodded: "Of course, I have raised some good racehorses in the UK. I also invest some money in this grand event and try my luck."


    An Feng smiled: "I have also followed a few batches, but unfortunately I have not been very lucky."


    "Shall we try it together?" Khaled said.


    An Feng looked to the side. Joanna was chatting and laughing with other ladies. Obviously she didn��t need him, so she and Khalid returned to the audience area on the stage in a low-key manner. There are waiters holding betting machines here, and they can also swipe cards. After An Feng and Khaled sat down, they each had a glass of juice and chatted about horse racing.


    The betting pattern of horse racing is complex and changeable, the single choice first, or the first, second and third in order, and the second and third in disorder, mainly betting on the horse, but you can also bet on the total points of the jockey... The betting ratio varies with the difficulty The degree of difficulty varies, betting on horses not only depends on luck, but also relies on some skills.


    Playing with Khaled is just for entertainment, the emphasis is on communication rather than gambling. Occasionally bet one or two hundred pounds. It doesn��t matter if you lose. It��s just for fun when you win. When talking about raising horses, both Khalid and An Feng are good at it.


    Khalid also invited An Feng: "Go to my horse farm if you have time. Although it is not as large as here, it also has a complete runway and an automated stable. Every horse pays attention to the purity of blood, standard Junma, after you have been there, you will not be disappointed."


    "Okay, I''ll have time after this horse racing festival." An Feng said.


    "No problem." Khalid said very readily, "I need to go back except for Ramadan, and I am free to travel around Europe at other times."


    An Feng said: "You really enjoy it, there is no pressure at all."


    Khalid shook his head: "No, my friend, I am not just playing, but also shouldering the great task of finding a development path for the country."


    An Feng almost wanted to laugh, your "important mission" is to hoard houses in London, then buy more than a dozen sports cars to blow up the streets in turn, to meet Arab beauties who are national treasures?


    But he still held back and changed the subject: "Then what are your plans?"


    When it came to this, Khaled was very interested. He put down his glass and talked eloquently: "To be honest, I have recently taken a fancy to a team and plan to invest in it, or buy it directly. Although its operating conditions are not very good , but the prospects are still ok, as long as we can get through the tough times."


    An Feng said: "The Premier League team?"


    "Of course." Khalid nodded, "How about it? Is this plan a good one? To be able to advertise for Qatar Petroleum, as long as the team''s performance is good, it can be seen by the whole world. The advertising effect must be good. Even Operating with a small percentage of debt can also save a lot of advertising costs.��


    An Feng understood that this guy didn''t love football at all, but set his sights on advertising. But based on the current situation, most of the Premier League teams are operating in debt, and there are only a few teams that can make money, but why are there so many rich people rushing to invest money?


    Seeking profit without a name.


    Although the Premier League is said to be a British competition, their owners are almost from all over the world. There are several types of people among them, rich groups and families headed by the United States. , Abramovich''s purpose is very complicated, I am afraid it is to seek overseas amulets; as for the Middle East, it is largely the name of the picture, the pursuit of political and international status.


    Khalid is obviously looking for both fame and profit. At first glance, the wealthy in the Middle East all spend a lot of money, but they all have their own little calculations behind them. It��s not that they have money and nowhere to spend it. Justify yourself, in fact, his investment can also produce economic benefits, okay?


    An Feng asked: "Then which team do you plan to invest in?"


    Khaled said: "I originally wanted to invest in the most valuable Manchester United, but it is worth about 1.1 billion pounds, which is not cost-effective, so Arsenal, which is too expensive, was also excluded. But it can''t be too famous, and played a few games. The ball can��t just lie down. So teams with a value of 300 million to 500 million can be considered.��


    An Feng said: "Hearing what you said, I think investing in football is also very interesting."


    Khalid smiled: "Then what reason do you have?"


    "Reason?" An Feng held his chin and thought, as if... no.


    Khalid��s plan to buy a football team looks like a local tyrant, but actually has a deep purpose. An Feng wants to buy a team, which looks like a local tyrant, but he is really a local tyrant!


    "Yes!" An Feng thought, "I can promote the Medical Research Center!"


    "Research center?" Khaled was puzzled.


    An Feng said: "Have you heard of ''Jean and Tima Medical Research Center''?"


    Khalid suddenly realized: "Is it the recent uproar, a medical research center where a wealthy man in the United Arab Emirates is also scheduled to go to the United States to treat cancer?"


    "Of course, that''s it!" An Feng said proudly, enjoying the admiration.


    "Then why do you invest in advertising!" Khaled was speechless, "The whole world knows about it, so why not just strike while the iron is hot?"


    "It''s not the same." An Feng shook his head, "In some aspects of biological research and development, it has little to do with cancer...Maybe we should really publicize it so that everyone can understand its strength. Advertisement for a security company...does this seem to be more affordable?"


    Listening to his words, Khaled felt a little speechless.


    An Feng turned his head and asked: "Khalid, do you think it''s appropriate to use the team to promote the security company?"


    "What''s inappropriate?" Khaled asked back, "Everyone''s purpose is very complicated, and there are people who promote the bank through the team! Didn''t you say it earlier, you want to promote medicine through the team. But our side It is to enhance the international status, as long as you dare to think, nothing is impossible!"


    An Feng thought about it, and it''s not impossible, but there are still a lot of places to spend money, and the team that can promote him must be well-known, and the performance must be good. Understand these principles. But these teams cost four to five billion... or pounds!


    Taking Manchester City as an example, under the Markham system, it is worth about 410 million pounds, and it would cost more than 700 million U.S. dollars. This is not cheap, and the business expenses in this area are not in the United States, so it seems that they cannot be deducted. Too many, not in line with Anfeng''s current consumption focus.


    This year''s Anfeng seems to be rich, but there is still not much spare money. Some of the money has to be included in the luxury house expenses, and some of it is needed for the race track. The issue of tax credits for business expenditures is still a good deal for American consumption.


    In the long run, investing in sports is a good choice. It is an advertising method with a huge impact, and it can also be aggressive... But with the current level of funds, it is not enough to consume, so it can only be included in the plan first. In the second or third year, when there is really nowhere to spend the money, burn it hard.

    PS: Which team do you want to belong to?

 Chapter 199： foundation

    Chapter 199 Foundation


    Investing in sports is still in its infancy. An Feng��s visit to the UK this time is mainly to participate in the Jockey Club, to satisfy Joanna��s desire for performance, and to start the first step of the "Barononess Project": to establish a charity fund in her name, to establish a A good image while doing something kind.


    He also plans to set up a local machine research company, which is a subsidiary to some extent, and its main purpose is to study one of the exoskeleton: the power assist system. In fact, it is to complicate things, such as the development of the power system in the UK, the materials are from China, and the energy and chips are from the United States.


    After the secrets are leaked, exoskeletons have reason to appear in any corner of the world. In the end, which country it is in control of is beyond the control of the robot company-who made you weak in US customs supervision? The robot company has suffered heavy losses and has no place to complain!


    In addition, the patent of the hybrid power assist system can be reserved for the British robot company, which can be provided to large machinery such as cranes, cranes, etc. in the future. If the US military needs exoskeletons, sorry, the company also purchases foreign ones, so please pay to buy them there.


    However, how these two programs started is also a question.


    The United Kingdom is different from the United States. Anfeng has a good foundation in the United States. He has friends from all walks of life, from private teams, professional managers, to businessmen and politicians. It is only a matter of one sentence to do something, but in the United Kingdom, it is still a zero-starting point, and even has some He still doesn''t know much about many rules and customs.


    The first step is to find a professional manager, assistant or something.


    But the assistant''s ability and character are another difficulty. Since the theft happened, he has consciously raised the level of defense. Handing over the company to someone he was not familiar with before for no reason is not a small risk. He hopes that it is best to be someone who is familiar with the background and the root cause.


    Before going to bed at night, An Feng leaned on the chair and looked at Joanna, who was suffering from choice syndrome, facing a lot of jewelry, and felt very interesting.


    Joanna in front of the dressing table also encountered her trouble: "My dear... Oh, I don''t know what style of brooch I should choose tomorrow."


    An Feng said: "Let me see, is it so difficult?"


    She turned her head and showed three styles in the palm of her hand: "Cute, shiny, and simple?"


    An Feng looked at it, and nodded the animal brooch with gold ornaments and diamonds: "The little golden squirrel is very nice, as beautiful as your hair!"


    "Really?" She stroked her hair.


    "I''m sure. Come here, I''ll put it on for you." An Feng smiled.


    Joanna came over with a shiny golden squirrel brooch, knelt down in front of him, and looked up at him. An Feng caught the brooch, carefully pinned the brooch to her skirt, held her shoulder to look, helped her tidy up her hair, and nodded in satisfaction: "Look at you, how beautiful you are!"


    She stood up and turned slightly to show him.


    "Very good, like an angel!" An Feng said sincerely.


    "Believe you!" Joanna sat sideways on his lap and changed the subject: "I met a few friends this afternoon and they invited me to the dance, but I declined."


    "Why? Don''t you like this kind of place to show yourself?" An Feng asked strangely.


    Joanna played with his collar: "If it''s a simple social dance, it''s fine, but it''s a blind date between a lady and a gentleman, and it belongs to a party that hasn''t belonged yet. You want your wife to make an appearance? You are not afraid of being judged by others. Take it away, and no one will give you a hug at night?"


    "I will put on a mask to supervise." An Feng nodded her head, "Let you appear on the stage in the most beautiful posture, and after giving them some hope, destroy hope with the truth."


    "Bad guy!" Joanna poked him with her finger, "What''s wrong tonight? Do you have a headache? It feels like you have frowned several times in a row."


    "Are you aware again?" An Feng raised his head.


    "I am your wife, the other half of your soul, and I know your every move." She put her arms around his neck and said affectionately.


    "Look at how proud you are." An Feng smiled, "Didn''t I say I want to develop in the UK? But I don''t know whether to find a professional manager directly, or to screen by myself."


    Joanna hit the nail on the head: "You might as well ask Bazel to recommend some for you!"


    "Hey! I really forgot this!" An Feng slapped his head. Bazel''s influence in the local area is not small, and he has controlled several large companies.


    ��


    The next day he told Bazel about the trouble.


    Bazel listened, and said straightforwardly: "No problem, I have a lot of management talents, what field do you need a manager who is good at?"


    An Feng said: "The standard can be lowered. I don''t specifically need to manage the top management of the company, but as my business assistant in the UK."


    "I see, it''s more versatile, right? I''ll ask someone to arrange it first, and I''ll give you the results in three days." Bazel picked up his cell phone and made a call.


    After saying a few words, he put down his phone and asked, "Can you share your plan?"


    An Feng also said straightforwardly: "Of course, this is not a secret. I want to set up a local foundation, do some charity, and open a light industry enterprise that may be used in the future. I don''t have any specific ideas yet. So I need an assistant to run things for me."


    Bazel said: "It is good to be prepared for things. Even if other goals are not clear, it is meaningful to register the company''s name first."


    An Feng agrees very much.


    It��s good to have many friends and strong ability. A word of relationship works everywhere.


    Without the burden, the horse racing in the next two days is purely for celebration and fun. Have a few drinks with friends from all walks of life, chat about wine, or watch ladies compete in styling, and expand your social circle... Nobles, rich people and ordinary people gather here. This is indeed a great social platform.


    An Feng has attended many gatherings. From the experience of the past few days, I feel that the celebrities of the upper class in the UK generally pursue a rigorous and self-restraining attitude, that is, to restrain their emotions, stabilize their emotions, and have no waves. When they are with them, they can feel A rigid and blunt, not easy to get along with.


    The British are always proud of their long history of the nation and abide by that set of chivalry, so they rarely show emotions that affect their behavior, unlike the enthusiasm of Americans, but when you find out one day they can also laugh with you After that, it means that it has been accepted.


    Generally speaking, Americans do not have many rules when dealing with people, while the upper class in the UK has requirements for culture, etiquette and demeanor. If you want to integrate into the circle, you must abide by the red tape that has been handed down for hundreds of years. The most basic gentleman''s demeanor, ladies first is a must.


    ��


    Three days later, An Feng met with the person recommended by Bazel.


    In the building of a trust fund in London, which is actually the property of the Sinclair family. I heard that the person who was recommended was dispatched from the middle level, a native British. An Feng saw him in a reception room. He was about thirty years old, with a solemn expression and sitting with his back straight.


    As soon as An Feng came in, he stood up and stretched out his hand: "Mr. An? I''m Hope Goodrich, recommended by Mr. Sinclair. Nice to meet you!"


    "Me too, Mr. Goodrich!" An Feng shook hands with him and sat down.


    In terms of appearance, Hope Goodrich''s dress is very standard. The suit is only buttoned in the middle, revealing the tie and white shirt inside, but the style is relatively old, and he must be a conservative person. His hair is neatly combed, and his chin Smooth, with a strong sense of confidence in his eyes.


    Typical British. After An Feng sat down, he had a judgment in his heart.


    Hope handed over his resume with both hands: "Mr. An, here are some of my resumes, please have a look!"


    An Feng took it and flipped through it. He graduated from a prestigious school and worked in many different fields with good grades. He closed his resume, looked up and said, "I think it''s you."


    Hope was stunned, he had prepared a lot of lines, and it was finished before he said a few words?


    An Feng smiled slightly. The British naturally think that there is a set of procedures for everything and follow the rules. Unfortunately, he is not, and he can play tricks casually. If he can''t adapt... But Hope reacted quickly and immediately said: "Thank you, sir , I will use my strength to prove my worth!"


    An Feng said with satisfaction: "Very good, I like people who can adapt to any rhythm."


    The whole process takes about a minute.


    An Feng signed an employment agreement with him. He believed that Bazel would not recommend a mediocre person to him casually, so he didn''t care about the annual salary of 150,000 pounds. As long as the work is excellent, it is normal to double it. After signing the contract, Goodrich officially became An Feng''s assistant in the UK.


    An Feng told him his idea, first set up a charitable foundation, and register a company involving robots. The charitable foundation uses Joanna''s Christian name, the "Elizabeth Fund". The machine company can''t think of it at the moment...Leave it to the assistant, he will be good at it.


    It is mainly about the issue of the Elizabeth Fund. An Feng doesn''t think much about it, but as the chairman of the foundation, Joanna, she arranges the foundation to help children and women. Children''s issues stem from her overflowing love, while women''s issues, to some extent, pursue women''s rights.


    An Feng said: "As for the machine company, due to some special reasons, I hope that you can be the corporate legal person, and I am only responsible for the investment. If you don''t want to, I can find someone else to do it. If you want, I will provide additional Here''s a bonus for you."


    "What industry does it mainly involve?" Hope cautiously asked.


    An Feng smiled: "Nothing else, just some mechanical assist systems, there will be no violation of the law at all."


    Hope nodded: "I will, sir."


    "There are still some..." An Feng added some things.


    Hope wrote down these contents very carefully, closed the notepad, and promised: "No problem, sir, I will deal with it as soon as possible according to your request."


    An Feng said: "If you need an assistant, you can go through the company''s personnel recruitment first, and I will provide you with a certain amount of activity funds."


    Hope said, "Well, sir, it''s more convenient to have a few helpers."


    Then An Feng left the communication method and left gracefully.


    These things are not worth worrying about. As long as Hope does a good job, he can serve as an assistant for official business in the UK in the future, just like John in the United States. Now that John''s net worth has doubled, as the No. 1 assistant and spokesperson of the super rich, he is naturally famous, famous and rich.

 Chapter 200： Private racecourse [three more]

    Chapter 200 Private Racecourse��Third watch��


    (Addition of 612 votes)


    ��


    The five-day horse race ended grandly.


    These days can be called carnival days for gentlemen and ladies, giving people a taste of the leisure and fun ways of the upper class, and the grand clothing of ladies has also set off a trend. After the end, each of them gained a lot of money, or met friends, or showed their perfect side.


    For An Feng, the excitement continues.


    Apparently watching the races on the field these days, not being part of it, is fun for the crowd - but only halfway there, so Khaled invites his friends to have fun at his private racecourse in Surrey. And emphasized that he went to battle in person.


    After appreciating a horse racing feast, everyone has a strong desire to show "immediately", and they all want to show their hands. Khaled provided the place, and everyone readily went there.


    This time it��s horseback riding, so the ladies finally don��t have to worry about it anymore.


    Equestrian suits are not complicated��compared to those dresses with various styles. In a country with a strong equestrian atmosphere like the UK, there are many luxury brands of horse gear. When you go to a luxury store, you come in empty-handed, leave with big bags and small bags, and then pack your things in the trunk and return with pleasure.


    Surrey is very close to London, connected to Greater London, and only about 30 kilometers away from the city center... To be honest, it is not a big reason why there is the UK. The following journey proved that self-driving tour in London is similar to driving in California, and it feels like the same distance.


    Khalid didn��t invite many people this time, but they all had status. When Bazel arrived, his family and friends were indispensable. An Feng, as a relative, would attend even if he didn��t know Khalid well. Khalid still has a lot of face, being able to invite so many distinguished guests.


    Surrey is something of a suburb of London, or ��countryside�� in another word. However, the word "countryside" is not necessarily derogatory in the UK. Those nobles are very proud to claim that they are "country people", so "city people" really don''t have the confidence to be proud in front of them.


    Driving a white vantage on the country road, it is rare to see a clear sky above the head. The weather in the past few days is very honorable to the Queen. The Jockey Club is cool and cool. On the first day after the Jockey Club ended, there was a heavy rain immediately. Today It started to clear up again, such is the weather in England.


    After arriving at the private racecourse, park in the parking lot. According to the custom, first invite the lady down, then take off the harness in the trunk, and then enter the racecourse with other guests, talking and laughing, with the so-called "British Hand" Khaled exchanged pleasantries before visiting the stables.


    Khalid��s private horse farm takes into account both horse breeding and horse racing. There are two standard tracks inside and outside. The middle of the track is surrounded by green grass, and two artificial lakes have been dug. There are open-air and indoor horse training grounds, hay fields, and some obstacle courses around him, which are very complete.


    Khalid walked in front and introduced: "I have been living in the UK intermittently for six or seven years since I started studying. From horses to professional equestrian warmblood horses, everything is involved.��


    The two horse farm employees at the front opened the gate of the stable, and everyone walked in talking and laughing. The stables are double row, that is, there are two rows of horses, with a spacious aisle in the middle. Each horse enjoys a single room service, equipped with automatic cleaning machinery, and the air conditioner is blowing at this time of summer.


    An Feng sighed, these guys probably enjoyed it more than humans.


    Everyone gave praises one after another. Khalid accepted these compliments very much, and then said: "The horses here are all well-trained and well-known horses, and my friends often ride them. Except for some weird-tempered horses Besides, everyone, please feel free."


    After the master spoke, everyone who already had itchy hands went to look for their own horses.


    An Feng and Joanna are not in a hurry, there are less than twenty people anyway, and there are at least thirty or forty horses here, there is a lot of room for choice, especially for horse lovers, appreciation is also a pleasant process . Joanna explained the origins of these horses one by one, such as English thoroughbreds, Sierra-French, Hanoverian horses... from breed to appearance characteristics, they are all excellent, and each horse is naturally worth a lot.


    After turning around, An Feng said: "Seeing these tall horses, I really itch."


    "You don''t have a plan for a private horse farm, do you?" Joanna, who is already familiar with his character, guessed.


    "Huh? You said it first!" An Feng looked at her with a smile.


    "I agree!" Joanna was very straightforward this time, because she also liked it.


    An Feng took her for a walk: "I respect your opinion. When we go back, we will buy a piece of land in California and build a high-end horse farm, taking into account both horse racing and polo. The vineyard is too small, it is suitable for occasional leisure, and when there are many people, It will inevitably become crowded and the venue is not professional enough."


    Joanna said: "These automated cleaning machines are very suitable. They are precise and fast, and they can also shower and massage horses."


    An Feng nodded: "Automated machinery is really good. A few horses can take care of themselves, but if there are too many horses, pure manual labor is time-consuming and inefficient."


    Joanna said: "Now is a good time, we have to learn."


    After the two reached an agreement, they chose the horses they liked. As horse lovers, they definitely don��t need the help of the staff of the racecourse. From the time they are pulled out of the stables, they start to communicate with the horses. This is also an extremely technical test, but this batch All the horses have been trained and are very obedient.


    Put them on the bridle, adjust the length of the rein, and then swing the saddle up, and lead them out of the stable. Joanna smiled and said, "Let''s see which of us adapts faster?"


    "Come on!" An Feng nodded.


    After a distance, the two got on their horses, spurred the still uncooperative horse under them, and began to move around the field, making other people who were still preparing to speed up... Soon, after a few laps, After both humans and horses adapt to this rhythm, the cooperation becomes tacit.


    An Feng couldn''t help but praised: "What a smart horse!"


    In addition to them, everyone also rode into battle one after another. They chose different entertainment methods, and several staff members rode horses and followed them around to prevent accidents. Safety measures were also in place. But most of them are the first time they come into contact with unfamiliar horses, and they dare not let go too much.


    Especially ladies, when the technique is not too safe, too much desire for performance may embarrass themselves. For example, Catherine, the girl can turn over and ride on the back of the horse alone is enough to win warm applause, and she also made the horse realize it. Walking quickly to the stop command, it��s really impossible without some skills, but she stopped in moderation and did not continue to perform. Not everyone can be like Joanna...


    Now she is galloping on the track on a Hanoverian horse. Her body is undulating and her waist is straight. Coupled with a well-tailored riding suit, she is very heroic and has easily won the applause of ladies and gentlemen. Without any strong skills, I really don''t have the guts to play so fiercely.


    Khalid rode up to stand side by side with An Feng, and said, "It''s amazing! I didn''t expect Madam''s equestrian skills to be so good, as expected of a noble family!"


    Although An Feng was proud, on the surface he still said modestly for her: "She just spent other people''s leisure time on training."


    Khalid nodded: "It really takes hard work!"


    It may be Joanna''s stimulation. Everyone''s desire to perform is fully stimulated, and they all have to show their skills in front of others. Regardless of whether the skills are good or bad, as long as they dare to try, they will give the warmest applause. After all, the purpose of coming out to play is leisure, not on the field. In the competition, entertainment is the first priority.


    An Feng also showed a little skill at winding barrels. Coincidentally, Khalid told him that this warm-blooded horse is usually good at obstacle races, so after the coordination of the horse and man, it is easy to control the horse to run back and forth between the field, and gallop back and forth between the obstacle barrels.


    After the wonderful performance, An Feng rode back in front of the crowd, took off his hat and won rounds of applause.


    Affected by the horse racing festival, I had a lot of fun all morning. The summer sun in London is not too strong. Even the standard British riding clothes are still very comfortable. After playing tired, sit down and rest on the audience stand, drink frozen mineral water and fruit juice, chat and make friends.


    Khalid handled this very well. After everyone had had enough fun on the horse farm, they were almost familiar with each other, and the next topic would be easy and natural, centering on equestrianism, raising horses or other topics. Especially equestrian, it is easy to resonate with everyone.


    An Feng asked Khaled some knowledge about private horse farms.


    Khalid knows a lot about the selection of venues, the construction of stables, indoor horse training grounds, hayfields... There are all kinds of specifications, but he can''t guarantee that he will be proficient, so he recommends: "In fact, hiring a professional designer is the best."


    "I agree." An Feng said, in line with the lazy thinking, he used to do this.

 Chapter 201： Holidays and Benefits

    Chapter 201 Holidays and Benefits


    From equestrianism to collection, Khalid talked about cars.


    Although the collection car is a bit less high-end compared to the racing horse, the car is still very important as the most frequently used tool for people to travel.


    An Feng also has something to talk about, especially after everyone learns that he is a shareholder of GP.


    In the face of curiosity, An Feng talked about his point of view: "I think it is inevitable that electric cars will replace cars. The current technology is very mature, and even the mileage of electric cars has surpassed that of cars. Tesla is the first batch of electric vehicles to use supercars. Batteries will be promoted to the world in the future.��


    Khalid asked: "I heard that the high-end version of Tesla that will be sold in the United States will have enough power to run more than 800 kilometers?"


    An Feng nodded: "In the theoretical driving mode, 850 kilometers is the average of multiple tests."


    Khalid admired: "It''s amazing, it seems that I also need to try something new!"


    From the new energy vehicles that changed the world to classic collections, An Feng took care of the British present, and he specially praised the British sports cars.


    Although they adhere to the low-key principle, they are actually proud inside despite their superficial modesty.


    An Feng understood them.


    The British sports car is not like Aston Martin, which is always too gentlemanly and has no explosive power; while Lotus is sluggish, still adhering to the low-key principle and not revealing the landscape; only the one that was born more than 20 years ago McLaren, let the world see what a ferocious beast is.


    The most talked about is the legendary McLaren F1, a classic of naturally aspirated and full carbon fiber frame, definitely the most representative of British sports cars. It is a pity that the production is scarce, and due to various accidents, its stock has dropped sharply. It is definitely a beautiful thing to be able to collect this car.


    Someone mentioned later: "There will be an auction of British sports cars in London in early July. I heard that McLaren F1 will participate in the auction!"


    An Feng was surprised: "Really?"


    "It should be, there is already news on the official social network." The other party said.


    Hearing the news, An Feng couldn''t help being moved.


    As a sports car enthusiast, the current racing track built in California has a two-story museum. When his garage can no longer accommodate the car, it will be transferred to the museum. It is expected to accommodate hundreds of cars, so "Super Garage "There are still many classic collections in need.


    He looked at the time. After the horse race, it will not be far from July. In addition, he needs to wait for Goodrich to handle the foundation and company, so the itinerary is within the plan... After two days at the racecourse, everyone spoke highly of Khalid''s hospitality.


    Then they left separately. An Feng and Joanna returned to their apartment in London for a few days of leisure.


    He checked the relevant auction information on the Internet, and there is indeed a local auction that will hold a British sports car auction, but it is very low-key and adopts the method of invitation, and most people can''t get tickets, but Anfeng is hard to beat, and American Express is still a little bit capable. , easily added his name.


    He also entertained Frank and Kelly, invited them to his apartment, chatted and drank tea together, they were very satisfied with this trip to London, and spent a harmonious afternoon chatting. The arranged private plane arrived and sent off the two parents with Joanna.


    After returning, Joanna took him to stroll the streets of London.


    After wandering through the crowded streets and tasting the delicacies worth trying one by one, she leaned on the fence by the river with a full stomach, looking at the calm river, and said lazily: "What a beautiful summer! If It must be perfect to change into a swimsuit and bask in the sun with you!"


    An Feng said: "There are not many places in London for you to take pictures."


    Joanna turned to look at him: "Why don''t we go to the beach by car?"


    "Driving in a convertible, cool and traveling against the wind?" An Feng described.


    Joanna stretched out her hand towards him: "Yes! We will remove the roof of that car when we go back!"


    "That''s a van, you have to cut it off with big pliers, girl!" An Feng smiled and took her hand, "But I have another good idea!"


    Joanna frowned: "Tell me!"


    An Feng pulled her into his arms: "Let''s go back, we will have the answer right away."


    When I went back in the afternoon, the sports car from the 4S shop arrived with a trailer: a white convertible Lamborghini Huracan. The driver fell down carefully. An Feng walked around, signed a contract with the seller, and tore off a personal transfer check. The convertible car belonged to him.


    "What a cool car! You''ve already planned it?" Joanna asked in surprise.


    "Of course, after staying in London all day, you already have aesthetic fatigue, don''t you?" An Feng said with a smile, opened the door for her, and asked her to get in the car.


    "Let''s go, let''s refuel!" An Feng turned around and headed for the nearby gas station.


    Huracan''s new convertible is released recently, continuing the wedge-shaped line of Lamborghini, with white body and carbon black wheels, regardless of comfort, this sports car named after the Spanish bullfight "Huracan", the V10 heart can burst out 610 horsepower, naturally is born for passion.


    (Spanish, H silent, read uracan, many websites misuse English pronunciation, including Du Niang)


    Did not stay the next day, changed clothes and set off.


    If you dress up purely for the holiday, all the gentleman and lady demeanor can be discarded. An Feng just wears cropped trousers and flip flops, carrying a travel bag carelessly. Joanna also cooperated with him, wearing a tunic shirt with denim hot pants, and high-heeled sandals that set off her perfect long legs, which he pulled youthfully.


    Open the carport, put on sunglasses, and walk west along the road amidst the roar of Huracan, blowing the summer wind and playing some pop music, which is very casual.


    Especially after leaving London and driving on a road with few vehicles, step on the accelerator, the speed of the vehicle suddenly increases, and it is easy to overtake the car in front, leaving a high-pitched noise. I drove across a road surrounded by fields and green trees, and it was full of greenery. Sure enough, as the donkey friend said well, the beautiful scenery is on the road.


    Joanna opened her hand: "What a beautiful country!"


    She also unbuttoned her seat belt and stood up from the passenger seat. With her hand on the windshield, the buttons of her shirt were blown away by the wind, revealing the cool bikini inside. She ignored it and let out a cheer. Seeing how crazy she was playing, An Feng slowed down the speed of the car.


    Joanna sat down again after blowing the wind for a while, with a smile on her face: "I''m so happy! All I feel is freedom and fresh air!"


    "Haha..." An Feng smiled, "Now I guarantee that no one will recognize that this lady is the Lady who shined brilliantly and speaks elegantly a few days ago!"


    "I don''t care! Just need your answer, do you think I''m pretty?" she said aloud.


    "Of course, you are the most beautiful in the world!" An Feng nodded.


    She leaned over to kiss his face, then found some hair clips from her handbag, **** her messy hair, and tied a bow at the hem of her shirt, revealing her belly button and **** waist With her waist exposed, the only function of the shirt is to cover her from the sun.


    The hot shape also made a group of guys overtaking halfway blow their whistles and wanted to say hello side by side. Who knew that An Feng kicked the accelerator and easily shook them off so that they couldn''t even see the taillights, leaving behind a depressed. An Feng smiled and said, "I''m afraid you''ve been suffocated by various rules these days."


    "A little bit." Joanna nodded, "Seeing the demeanor and standard etiquette displayed by those noble ladies, I feel that the gap between reality and my imagination is getting bigger and bigger. If I am like this, it is just from the assembly line of the lady factory. A member, without its own characteristics."


    "What''s wrong?" An Feng asked strangely.


    "I just suddenly felt that since I have already become your wife, a part of the transition to your hope, isn''t this what I should have?"


    "I like you whether you are a lady or a hot girl." An Feng looked at her.


    "It''s so sweet!" She hugged his neck and kissed him again.


    "Hey! Be careful, you''re driving now!" An Feng smiled and put his arm around her.


    ��


    The climate in the UK is cold, just like the gloomy expressions of the gentlemen, Sunny Beach has nothing to do with it, but in fact it is not the case - more than 400 kilometers west of London, the northern coast has a magnificent sea view, blue ocean, golden white The beach is full of hot guys and hot girls.


    More than 400 kilometers are enough to cross the east and west of the UK. For An Feng, who is used to running Highway 1 in California, this is just a little more distance from SLO to Los Angeles, so he feels that the UK is similar to California. Stop and go, finally arrived in Cornwall in the afternoon.


    There is a nice beach in St. Ives in northern Cornwall.


    When they arrived, both of them were a little tired. It was really uncomfortable to drive a sports car for a long distance. After parking the car, they ran to the golden beach surrounded by mountains, found a place with parasols and cushions, changed into clothes, and ordered a cold drink Lie down together with snacks, and adjust your body and mind with the sea breeze.


    After drinking a bottle of cold drink to refresh his body, An Feng devoted his energy to the beautiful scenery. The beautiful scenery surrounded by the city is indeed spectacular without any pollution. Tourists enjoy sunbathing leisurely, or take surfboards to challenge the waves, or enjoy Jet skiing nearby.


    An Feng turned over, admired her perfect figure, and said: "I think so too, it''s really not conducive to healthy development to have a sullen expression all day long!"


    Joanna laughed: "Poor mouth! Come and help me wipe my back!"


    "Happy to help, ma''am!" An Feng moved to her side, chose different sunscreens according to his wife''s requirements, untied the rope behind his back with one hand, applied it on her, and massaged it gently, she lay on the mat, Her hair was tied up, and her fingers pressed the phone.


    "Very good..." She said enjoying herself, picked up her phone, "Shall we take a selfie?"


    "Are you sure?" An Feng nuzzled his chin, girl, you are naked.


    "Reluctance?" Joanna sat up on her knees, raised her mobile phone, and covered the jade on her chest with one hand, counting down three two ones, An Feng immediately moved over and put on an expression.


    This is called lens syndrome.


    Clicking a piece, Joanna saw it and smiled.


    "Let me see!" An Feng took the phone over, "Wow!" In the camera, he had a weird expression, while Joanna was smiling, with one arm covering her chest.


    "Delete!" she emphasized.


    "I thought you wanted to upload it to social networking sites." An Feng said.


    "Did you upload it?" she asked.


    An Feng nodded.


    "Oh, that''s terrible!" She got up, covered her chest and came to An Feng, sat on his lap and grabbed the phone, "How dare you!"


    An Feng smiled and put his phone on top, and said, "You''re just kidding! If this is uploaded, it will become pornographic. I don''t dare to make my wife famous!"


    Joanna took back her mobile phone and looked at it. If there was nothing there, she said, "Scare me!"


    "Aren''t you bold in front?" An Feng laughed at her.


    "That''s just for you to see!" She quibbled, reaching out to pinch his face, "Pure personal welfare does not allow you to become a large number of netizens!"

 Chapter 202： Take the elite route

    Chapter 202 Take the Elite Route


    After the establishment of the Elizabeth Foundation, their work in the UK came to an end, and then they arranged for the consignment of the sports car, and then returned to California by special plane. It was already the beginning of July, the sun was shining brightly overhead, and the sky was clear, which meant ushered in a typical sunny beach day in California.


    An Feng and Joanna returned to the winery for vacation.


    Blown by the sea breeze from the Pacific Ocean, Paso Robles has a very pleasant climate. Even in summer, the average temperature remains in a comfortable range.


    An Feng likes the huge swimming pool in the backyard the most. On a sunny afternoon, he can enjoy the swimming pool all by himself, with an unobstructed view and a panoramic view of the surrounding vineyards. . Choose another good spot and hide in the shade for a drink.


    Looking at the vigorously growing vineyard below, An Feng happened to think of a small batch of genetically modified grapes he planted before, with an area of ??about ten acres. It has been almost two years, and it should be growing by now, right? Thinking about it, I greeted Joanna who was doing beauty treatment, started the off-road motorcycle parked at the door, and rushed down the mountain��stopping in front of a large green grass, the bad habits of the past are bad.


    These green grasses have been planted at a high price. If they continue to rush to the slopes in a hurry as before, it is estimated that before the old John, the manager of the winery, turns green, his property will be lost first. Zhuang''s face project is bumpy, what does it look like?


    So he followed the winery mountain road and drove slowly. Walking along the dirt road through the vineyard, I came to the super grape planting area that I specially divided and kept clear from the surrounding grapes. I happened to meet Cathy, who was inspecting the work, and stopped to say hello: "Hi!"


    "Hi, BOSS!" She looked up.


    "How is the growth of this batch of grapes?" An Feng asked. The growth of the genetically modified grapes has exceeded the general standard. At the age of two, it is already similar to the Cabernet Sauvignon in the surrounding 30 years. If it is not dense enough, it may be true. It is difficult to judge from the surface.


    "Very good. This is the fastest-growing grape I have ever seen. It has strong vitality and excellent disease resistance. Basically, it can continue to grow with sufficient water, but it is not yet ripe. Judge the quality of its fruit."


    An Feng observed his masterpiece with satisfaction, and said proudly: "In a few months, the wine it produces must be top-notch."


    "So confident?" Cathy asked with a smile.


    "Of course!" An Feng nodded, "Please believe in the power of science. The only thing that is uncertain now is the market''s attitude towards genetically modified grapes."


    There are indeed uncertainties in this. As far as he knows, California is quite acceptable. Not only is he doing this kind of experiment, but other vineyards also have it, but it cannot be guaranteed in other areas. Europe, especially France, I am more resistant to these technologies that violate the laws of nature.


    "Good luck to him!" Cathy said.


    An Feng said again: "Take me to visit the vineyard and introduce its recent development."


    "Welcome!" Cathy said with a smile, "You care about the vineyard once, and the period is still calculated according to half a year. I have to call John who has the most opinions first."


    Later, I visited the vineyard with Old John and Cathy.


    Due to the excessively high output last year, this year it has been appropriately reduced, demanding quality rather than quantity, and the winery is taking the boutique route��in layman��s terms, it is going high-end and rejecting low-end mass production. An Feng likes it. As a super rich man, he likes the noble and glamorous most, and rejects the mediocre model.


    But An Feng asked: "What about those vines that have been removed?"


    Old John thought for a while, and said: "Grapes that are more than 30 years old are very easy to sell, and they can produce 95-point red wine!"


    An Feng originally wanted to donate it to Frank, but his garden was full and the quality of the grapes was excellent. The same Cabernet Sauvignon did not affect much, but it was his research and development that played a key role. Those bio-fertilizers... Thinking of this, he asked John: "How much fertilizer do you have in stock?"


    Old John replied: "It can be used for about two years."


    There are not many fertilizers for two years. The fertilizer developed by Anfeng is high-end, that is, a small amount but long-term. Once fertilized, it can last for several months without worrying about it. So in calculation, the two-year period is really not much. Last time, he thought about buying another fertilizer factory and supplying it exclusively for himself.


    Because there are so many things going on recently, I forgot about those who came and went.


    In order to develop for a long time and give yourself a good face, after visiting the vineyard and knowing that everything is going well, I called Angela and her assistant John when I got home, and asked them to find a fertilizer company that is not too large. Produce special fertilizer for grapes by ourselves.


    Going back in the evening, opened a bottle of ordinary red wine, and after having dinner, Joanna talked to him about the private horse farm. Build one, but his original idea wasn''t too complicated.


    But Joanna said that since she wanted to do it, she didn��t want to be the best, but she had to be worthy of herself and the money in her pocket... What she said really learned the essence of spending money by herself. An Feng didn''t know much about it, so I left it to Joanna to do it. She has been looking for information on the Internet these days.


    Now I pulled him to the sofa, and there was already a plan on the computer screen in front of him.


    Joanna introduced to him: "Referring to the specifications of other racecourses, my idea is that the area is about 80 to 120 acres. The standard oval track can be set up as a polo field and obstacle course, or it can be used Come the horses, and then the track, there are four..."


    An Feng listened, probably don''t need to hire a designer, isn''t this one in front of you?


    According to Joanna''s idea, the racecourse is a standard ellipse, and the space inside the circle is fully utilized. The polo field or training ground are all planned, and the four tracks are the inner circle practice track, the second circle of sandy track, and the third circle of grass. The runway, the fourth lap ambulance runway, is very standardized.


    In addition to the outdoor racecourse, there are also indoor racecourses, training grounds, etc. In addition, a luxurious stable is built to realize large-scale automation and mechanization. There is also a luxurious rainproof stand that can accommodate 50,000 to 100,000 spectators, and is equipped with boxes , public area and so on different types, complete styles of the area.


    Since it is a racetrack, standardized electronic equipment, electronic scoreboards, tracking camera devices, scanning devices, and the determination of capturing the exciting end point, large-area color screen images and digital displays, etc. are indispensable, as well as the intelligence required for horse betting. betting system.


    After listening to it, An Feng asked: "The commercialization is too strong, is there any consideration for private use?"


    His original plan was just a luxurious private horse farm, where he could play with friends in his spare time, but according to what Joanna said, he was a little inclined towards commercial operations.


    Joanna said: "It mainly depends on how you define it. If you want to develop horse betting and become a banker, you will naturally have competitions every day. If not, you will only undertake some large-scale events, and you will have a lot of free time in a year. You can refer to other A private horse farm in the region, in the form of a private club."


    "Oh, so I understand." An Feng nodded. His idea is that whether he makes money or not is the second priority. Anyway, he has the most profitable way, and his own fun is the most important thing. If he plays on the field, the surrounding A crowd of spectators was so noisy that they couldn''t concentrate at all.


    Joanna has a lot of ideas: "If you focus on personalization, then change it and develop it into a high-end route that only recruits members, focusing on equestrian and polo training. The social level of members will be high, and some professional coaches will be hired. It would be a good way to be responsible for the training of high-end members."


    An Feng likes this: "This idea is very good. Occasionally hold some influential events. When not in use, it will be used as an equestrian club to receive members and take a high-end route... I will invite some friends when I go back, and they will definitely be happy to join .��


    Joanna smiled: "Yes, you have such a big face, there will be many people responding!"


    "I''m smart!" An Feng smiled with his arms around her.


    In fact, the racetrack that is open to the public around the clock is a bit too noisy. Of course, the rich like to be quiet and exclusive. In the future, I will invite some friends who share the same hobby. It doesn��t matter if the membership fee is more or less, just like those high-end clubs, many people crowded Brainstorming to get in.


    The reason is that it is fun inside? I''m afraid it''s more because there are members with the same status and status. It''s an excellent place to make friends and find great business opportunities. In other words, it is a high-end elite club, and being able to enter means formal contact with this circle, and it is worth the huge cost.


    Joanna thought about it for a while, and liked it: "It''s really good to take the high-end route. Anyway, you have a lot of friends, so you have to develop towards luxury."


    An Feng nodded. Anyway, he had no objection and was only responsible for paying the money, so he asked, "How much do you think the cost will be?"


    An Feng knows that professional racecourses are not cheap, just like the one in Dubai, which cost three billion US dollars, but they didn��t even play horse racing, and it was completely funded by the government. The purpose is to increase their reputation in the world, just like they build the world The bold idea of ??the tallest building, but it is really famous.


    Joanna said: "If you take the luxury route, it will be about 200 to 300 million U.S. dollars."


    An Feng knew it was awkward to say this, but he still said: "So few?"


    Joanna is used to: "Then how much do you think?"


    "I thought it was at least seven or eight billion, more than a billion." He said honestly.


    "That''s very commercialized. Most racetracks don''t cost that much. There are 50 to 60 million, and 100 to 200 million is already very good. But we take care of so many things and take the The elite route may also only need more than 200 million points in the final calculation."


    An Feng nodded: "No problem, and you don''t want to think so much by yourself. As my wife, please follow my style - go to a professional design team. Just tell them your ideas, and my idea is to make as much as possible More high-end, money and other things are negotiable!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 203： friendly match

    Chapter 203 Friendly Match


    Joanna is very interested in the racetrack, and she has many ideas that An Feng could never have imagined. Seeing that she is so passionate about it, An Feng completely entrusts her with the decision-making power. Do whatever you want, and he will pay the bill in the end. . But her brain is very useful, unlike someone else.


    Including the layout of the racetrack, creativity, which level of design team to hire, and what kind of racehorses to buy later, the quantity, etc., are all up to her to decide-in fact, it is a position of shopkeeper who specializes in giving orders, which is very easy. An Feng used to often made.


    He wandered around when he had nothing to do, and flew to San Jose by helicopter to finish the robot company''s affairs first. According to what Gu Li said, the idea of ??building a building is very good, because there are many directions in which robot companies or industrial companies can develop in the future, and the future is still far away.


    So he dispatched John to look for land, construction contractors... The preliminary estimate is that the building should not be too tall, but it should not be too short either��because his helicopter needs to be docked, so about 12 to 15 floors is very suitable. More importantly, it takes less time to build.


    If there are dozens of floors or hundreds of floors, I am afraid that it will not be built until the flowers are all withered. An Feng told John his thoughts, and let him and his assistant team torture their brains. The land in this area of ??Silicon Valley is not cheap, considering the cost, it can be properly far away from the urban area.


    Then there is the research and development issue of the robotics company.


    Since the theft happened, An Feng stopped the research and development of the exoskeleton. At present, Hoffman has nothing to do all day long. According to the small reports from other departments, he has continuously damaged the bionic machine modules of the robot group, tore down a wall and refitted the wiring, and now he is targeting the company''s computers.


    This guy doesn''t seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp. In the end, An Feng had no choice but to call Hoffman and give him a difficult task: "Starting today, the company will arrange for you to go to the UK, and you can bring your two assistants with you, and you will have full board and lodging there. Generous subsidies����


    I don''t know if Hoffman understood, he just asked, "What are you doing?"


    "Develop a booster system that saves energy or is simpler. After you get things done, you can go back to manufacturing a mass-produced version of the exoskeleton."


    Hoffman did not hesitate: "Agreed!"


    If he had known it would be so easy, An Feng would have said it bluntly. Giving up so many benefits is a waste of emotion. This guy earns an annual salary of more than 100,000 yuan, so he probably doesn��t know how to spend it. I heard that he does takeaways every day. The consumption is very simple. , and live in the company, the rent is estimated to be saved.


    An Feng dismissed this super nerd scientist. After the UK can win the patent of the power assist system, he can develop whatever he wants when he comes back. Anyway, apart from the power assist system, the robot company does not take other patents. Maybe the Americans need to pay for patents when they manufacture these. fee!


    Two days later, An Feng''s sports car arrived.


    It costs a lot to airlift it from the UK, but for a legendary sports car worth more than 4 million yuan, it is worthy of this ostentation. At the SLO airport, I saw a ferocious animal locked in an iron cage. An Feng admired it carefully.


    He must be careful, as long as the car crashes a little bit, he will cry. McLaren has long since not provided repairs, let alone no spare parts, right? As long as he crashes, other collectors will definitely pop champagne to celebrate. So he drove this untamable beast very carefully.


    It is also well-founded to say that it is difficult to tame, because there is no electronic assistance on the McLaren F1, not even hydraulic boost for the brakes! Driving it is a test of skill. It can be said that the moment you step on the accelerator, it may lose control on the road and hit the guardrail or something.


    Fortunately, I have driven a Ferrari before and used the ESC-OFF mode. In this mode, any electronic assistance is turned off, and safety auxiliary equipment such as the vehicle stability system and traction control system enter a dormant state. When only the ABS is still working, the most Raw and manic state.


    Non-professional drivers driving super sports cars are actually assisted by various electronic assistance systems. From the start of the vehicle, the stability system works��if not, the car will shake its head and tail with a big foot throttle, and the driver will be petrified. When accelerating, the traction force must also distribute the fuel supply evenly, and the tire speed is poor, otherwise ordinary drivers will not be able to control it... This is why some sports cars have a comfort mode.


    If you don��t choose the comfort mode, most drivers can��t play it. Not only Ferrari, but supercars like Lamborghini and Porsche are the same. You can control it freely-in fact, it��s all fake! It''s all assist systems helping you, and they''re trying really hard to pretend you did it yourself.


    The McLaren F1 is even more extreme. Not only does it have nothing, in order to save weight, it is not even equipped with ABS... To deal with this beast, it cannot be used on the road, but it has to be driven on the track... It takes two days to figure out its character Afterwards, An Feng drove it to Monterey to prepare for the "Laguna-Seca" circuit (Laguna-Seca).


    According to the needs of safety management, any driver on the track needs to be equipped with a safety helmet and, if necessary, a professional fireproof racing suit. But this time it was avoided, An Feng put on his helmet, passed the inspection of the staff, and got into the car in good condition.


    I��m pretty sure he��s driving instead of sitting��it can only be blamed because it��s a three-seater sports car with the driver��s seat in the middle. Whether you drive from the left or the right, you have to step over a passenger seat, so the posture is very weird. An Feng came to the conclusion that this car is very cool - provided you don''t get in and out of the car.


    Anfeng has run this Monterrey track several times before. It is not easy. High and low drop. It brings the environment of reduced altitude, no buffer zone on the roadside, and sandy terrain at any time.


    So the challenge of the spiral bend is super big.


    An Feng sat firmly in the driver''s seat and gained a central view. Start this primitive beast, the sound of the engine is not enthusiastic, compared with the few Ferraris speeding past, it is very low-key, like an old man with little strength, but when you really step on the accelerator... the beast is activated.


    The track is not long, with a total length of 3.6 kilometers. There are many long and compound turns on the road. But the longer the curve, the more the high-speed racing car is disturbed by centrifugal force, and the more difficult it is to pass. If you don''t want to slow down, consider hard skills. It just so happened that An Feng was the one who refused to admit defeat, the front of the car was still a little bit floating and rushed through the spiral bend with a drop in height, next to it was a sandy field and anti-collision tires, if there was one negligence, the car worth more than 4 million yuan would have to be scrapped!


    After passing, An Feng''s back was also sweating. When he turned from high to low at high speed, there was a section of the road ahead that was invisible! A blind area of ??vision occurs at a critical moment. If the driving track cannot be discerned, the acceleration will often turn into a tragedy of rushing off the track.


    After running a few laps, due to excessive investment, a lot of water is consumed. What tests the performance of a sports car is not pure data. Even if it can accelerate from 100 kilometers in 2 seconds, a car with a top speed of 400 can''t conquer the track, and it will always be a speed toy rather than a performance killer. Wouldn''t it be better to install a rocket propulsion?


    Finally, it stopped at the maintenance station, and some car friends who came to play were resting and discussing. When they saw this extremely rare McLaren stop, they all paid attention to it. When An Feng opened the door and got out, a guy came. It was a tall, brown-haired white guy, and he said hello, "Hi buddy!"


    "Hi!" An Feng took off his helmet and said.


    "The car is very good!" said the brown-haired white man, and stretched out his hand to him: "My name is Duke, and I came here today to play a game. I saw your lap time, it''s pretty fast!"


    "Bruce." An Feng shook his hand, "But you guessed wrong, this guy is on this track for the first time today, and he was still in England a few days ago."


    "Oh? Then you are really talented!" Duke said in surprise.


    An Feng looked at them: "You are also here to play with cars? Tell me about the models?"


    Duke turned around and looked at the orange sports car, and said, "This is the Saleen S7 (Saleen) I brought, and I''m going to let it move."


    "Wow!" An Feng exclaimed, "What a sports car, a beast of speed! Is it turbocharged or naturally aspirated?"


    Duke laughed: "Naturally aspirated V8 engine."


    "It''s really rare!" An Feng stepped forward to take a look around. Not many people know about this car, but to be honest, it is very well-tuned. Except for the naturally aspirated model, the twin-turbocharged S7 can only accelerate from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers. It takes 2.8 seconds and the top speed breaks through 400 kilometers. It used to be a powerful and muscular beast.


    Duke was obviously very happy with the appreciation of others, but he also said politely: "Your F1 is more classic, it''s very rare to see it on the field! Can you take a photo?"


    "Please feel free, I plan to take a photo with your car too!" An Feng said with a smile.


    "Let''s exchange pictures!" Duke laughed.


    We took some photos with our mobile phones together, and when another batch of sports cars returned to the maintenance area, Duke said to An Feng, "Bruce, are you interested in running a few laps?"


    "Just the two of us?" An Feng said.


    "Of course not, and I have a friend. Look, he''s coming!" Duke looked in the other direction, and a metallic silver sports car was coming.


    It is by no means a vulgar thing, a Koenigsegg CCR model. The output is scarce, that is, it and Bugatti broke the world record of McLaren F1 for several years, and now they meet in the same field, plus the Sarin S7, which is also not weak, other drivers who want to go on the track have stopped , leaving space for them to compete.


    A middle-aged man with short black hair got off the Koenigsegg, and Duke shook hands with him with a smile, and then introduced: "His name is Howard, he used to be a rally driver, drove a RV, and now he has retired and switched to playing cars. Sorry, forgot to mention, I''ve been to NASCAR a few times as well."


    An Fenghan, you guys are obviously bullying people, a crazy rally driver, a professional driver who has played the most popular NASCAR car in the United States, and he is an amateur, compared to a dick...he put himself The mood is fully expressed on the face: "Are you sure?"


    Duke looked at it and said with a smile: "Don''t worry! We haven''t played for a long time now, our skills are not as good as they were back then, and this track is not often run. Just now, judging by your lap speed, we may not even be able to run. How about a friendly match to let everyone enjoy themselves?"


    An Feng turned his head, and more and more spectators gathered around, encouraging them to fight.


    "Okay, but you have to let me follow!" An Feng said, the hospitality is hard to turn down, so he had to bite the bullet and fight.


    Howard smiled and said, "Maybe we are following you?"

 Chapter 204： Strong duel 【Third watch】

    Chapter 204 Strong duel ��Third watch��


    (Addition of 632 votes)


    ��


    This is a strong duel.


    As far as cars are concerned, McLaren F1, Sarin S7 and Koenigsegg CCR are comparable in performance, accelerating from 100 kilometers in about 3 seconds, and the top speed is above 360 ??kilometers, which is a testament to the glory of the era. In the actual test, it is also comparable. In the 1/4 mile acceleration race, all three cars completed in about 11 seconds.


    In terms of people, the first two have played professionally, no matter what track they are, they will be stronger than ordinary people, and An Feng just ran a lap of 1 minute and 40 seconds is also very outstanding, at least if they did their best. You may not be able to run with all your strength, and it is the first time that the sports car is on the field.


    In such a comparison, in the eyes of the audience, it became a standard sports car and a driver''s duel, and even the news of the competition spread to the racing management, who specially sent technicians to provide services for them, check the condition of the vehicle, tires, etc. , fuel and so on.


    Before the start of the game, Duke proposed: "How about the third place invite everyone to have a beer?"


    Howard agreed: "Of course it has to be a bit of a prize! But change it, the second and third place should all be invited to drink, and there can only be one winner!"


    "Bruce, what about you?" Duke looked at him.


    "I have no problem, it''s up to you to decide!" An Feng said, thinking that it was just a drink... Obviously facing professional drivers is still very stressful.


    Finally, after the inspector confirmed that there were no other sports cars on the track, the three cars lined up neatly in front of the key line, and all parties were ready. According to the requirements, the person who ran 10 laps first won the victory. It takes about 18 minutes to complete, and one tank of gas is enough.


    An Feng drank half a bottle of water. Racing is a sport that consumes a lot of body water. The most typical one is F1. The degree of dehydration after a run is enough to shock ordinary people, but the drivers can still talk and laugh. This requires particularly strict exercise , but it just so happens that An Feng is a person with a strong physique.


    Put on the helmet, get back into the driver''s seat, and the uniformed staff will close the door for him. In order to meet the occasion, there is even a female rider who coolly enters the battle, waving black and white flags, adding a lot of highlights to the race. Other riders or spectators have already disappeared��running to occupy the commanding heights.


    Although command lights can be used on the track, everyone still thinks the racing girl is more exciting. As the flag fell, the three cars roared at the same time, and white smoke rose from the friction between the tires and the ground. They rushed out at the same time and began to compete for the start. leading position.


    According to the acceleration performance of 100 kilometers, the three cars are comparable, but in the acceleration period of 0-100 miles (161 kilometers), McLaren has the advantage. An Feng stepped on the accelerator and stared at the rearview mirror. The car was pulled away by him and gained a temporary lead.


    Then he was greeted by a small bend, which was very simple. He rushed past the inside line, and just appeared on the outside line at the exit of the curve. The test is not the technology, but the performance of the car.


    Going straight again, CCR is full of horsepower in the middle and rear stages, and is already side by side with him, and a little bit overtaken.


    CCR takes the lead in entering a sharp curve ahead.


    Facing the curve, An Feng knew that the challenge had really begun. If he didn��t want to be affected by centrifugal force and lose control when cornering at high speed, he had to cut the corner straight, that is, pay attention to the ��outside-inside-out�� racing skills. Enter the curve from the outside before entering the curve, drive on the inside in the middle, and cut back to the outside of the curve after passing the top of the curve. If plotted, the motion of the car is nearly straight.


    The leading CCR in front was stumped by this big curve. Although it is fast, its performance on the track is not as good as F1, which is specially designed to adapt to complex and changeable environments. CCR is not dominant on the curve, so it rushes out of the curve After the road, An Feng was already following him, and the speed was even faster.


    An Feng gritted his teeth, and the opportunity was fleeting. He slammed the steering wheel, and the sports car with excellent performance moved laterally from right to left behind the CCR. He stepped on the accelerator and put his right hand into gear, and used the high speed to overtake on the left side of the car. Before the arrival of the second corner, the first position was regained again.


    An Feng regained some confidence.


    Maybe it is because there are chasing soldiers behind to make people run faster. For example, when there are vicious dogs chasing and biting behind them, the explosive power of people is always very strong. An Feng felt that the machine brain and the biological brain were spinning at the same time, and various data and the images of the previous racing car were superimposed, and the best situation was analyzed.


    "Slow speed for the next corner, downshift..." An Feng''s mind automatically recalled his previous experience. He entered the corner too fast, and he was in a hurry to control the direction. Too much steering will bear a very large centrifugal force, causing the brakes Frequent, chaotic trajectory... so brake first to enter the corner.


    This time he entered at a slow speed, stepped on the accelerator halfway, and accelerated out of the corner...perfect pass! An Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and looking behind him, S7 had already surpassed CCR, biting his own ass. As expected of a professional driver, even though he was already in the lead, he was followed in an orderly manner, and the pressure was overwhelming.


    If you want to be in a straight line area, the powerful performance of F1 will give you a lot of confidence. After sprinting for a straight line, you suddenly come to a sharp turn close to 60 degrees, and it is accompanied by a downhill. There is no buffer zone on the roadside - if the speed is too fast, it is absolutely The tragedy of rushing out and hitting the bumper tire.


    Anfeng��s mind is full of this difficult corner, and going downhill at high speed is usually a death-suspect��unless your car can keep all four wheels close to the ground, a wheeled armored vehicle or tank weighing dozens of tons will do, but this is For a sports car known for its light weight, the most effective way is to brake down to second gear, cut into the curve from the inside line, and after reaching the top of the curve, find a good direction and then cut out the outside line...still pass safely.


    He glanced at the rearview mirror and disappeared!


    It didn''t take long for the pride to come, the lingering orange-yellow S7 moved sideways neatly, swung the rear of the car twice, bit the back of F1 again, and it cut to the inside line, it looked like it was cornering at high speed just now, and Gaining faster exits than An Feng - and doing so is overtaking!


    "Oops!" An Feng stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, but the exit speed of S7 was there. If he accelerated at the same time, it was difficult to grasp the original advantage. I can only look at the taillights of the S7 flashing a few times when cornering.


    Duke is amazing. He controls the accelerator well and rarely steps on the brakes.


    After another turn, An Feng was already sweating. He turned several times at high speed, bringing a lateral acceleration close to 2G, which meant that the original 10kg object would become 20kg. The suddenly heavy helmet on his head oppressed his neck. A little awkward, but he quickly adjusted.


    Another glance at the rearview mirror shows that the car in front is not far away, but the car behind is still chasing after him fiercely. It is not easy to be the second child.


    After going through several turns with S7, he encountered a spiral turn that caused him a blind spot again. He went uphill first, and he was already mentally prepared to be overtaken. After all, he is an amateur, and he is definitely not as proficient as a professional driver, so he is quite satisfactory. Run along the outside at a slow speed, keeping the body as close to the ground as possible.


    Duke, who was driving the S7 in front, may have full confidence in his racing skills. Although he felt that the car body was a little floating before entering the corner, and it would be unstable if he went downhill, he still ran along the center, hoping to go faster in a shorter straight line. Through curves with height differences and blind spots.


    With a mentality of admiration, An Feng followed the S7 into the corner, and then... the downhill increased its speed. He also stepped on the accelerator, and the result was understeer. The tire on one side of the car rushed out of the sand outside the track, and the brakes sounded , An Feng was stunned... But he reacted quickly. When the CCR behind him was about to overtake, he turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator. The black beast swung the rear of the car, seized the CCR''s overtaking lane, and rushed out roaring.


    This time, instead of the orange S7 in the rearview mirror, it was replaced by a dusty silver CCR.


    An Feng smiled triumphantly. It is estimated that Duke has played too much NASCAR, and he only takes small-angle turns and is not suitable for corners with large ups and downs (the track of NASCAR is a very simple ellipse )... After passing the most difficult corner, he easily crossed the finish line of the first lap.


    On the straight track, F1 and CCR once again staged a straight-line acceleration duel, taking the lead of F1 by a small margin, and cornering steadily according to the memory and feel in the machine''s brain. It''s a little cheating, every time he can feel the satisfaction, it''s like saving the feeling and playing it over and over again.


    In this way, his car feeling will only get better and better.


    ��


    In the straight sprint on the tenth lap, the black McLaren dominated, and the buzzing ultra-high speed swept the finish line. The speedometer showed that it had reached a speed of 330 kilometers per hour when it crossed the line, and it was crazy ahead of the second place. The S7 has three bodies, the third place has five bodies, and wins!


    When the three cars returned to the maintenance area, the spectators gathered around, and one of the men in overalls was full of horror: "It''s amazing! The owner of the McLaren ran 1 minute and 34 seconds on the ninth lap. If the lap time is faster, it will be able to break the 1 minute and 33 seconds set by the Dodge Viper!"


    An Feng was also slightly surprised.


    After getting out of the car, the sweaty Duke asked with a smile: "Bruce, aren''t you also a professional driver or have received professional training?"


    An Feng is modest: "It''s just that I like to drive fast!"


    Everyone doesn''t believe it. This kind of technology is obviously not something that ordinary people can get out of. An Feng didn''t reveal the answer. If one surpasses, one can only eat ashes behind.


    But the robot brain made him do one thing ten times, every process, every feeling has experience, what to do, the amount of accelerator, the angle of steering... are almost the same. In this mode, unless it is a professional driver who is familiar with this track, it is difficult to beat the opener.


    So cheating allowed him to win.


    Neither Duke nor Howard was entangled in the result. They came over and hugged An Feng. After congratulating, they fulfilled their promise: "We said that the second and third place will treat guests to drink beer, and friends here who want to participate can also come. Let''s go to a nearby bar and have a good drink!"


    In a nearby bar, the three of them and some car friends they just met just now arrived, which also caused this ordinary bar to suddenly stop more than a dozen eye-catching sports cars, such as Ferrari and Lamborghini, which are already clich��d. Karen, Sarin and Koenigsegg are all here.


    Everyone chatted happily inside, discussing racing cars and sports cars.


    Later, I learned that Duke was originally the son of a NASCAR team sponsor. He likes to play racing cars since he was young, but the accident rate of NASCAR is not low. Crashes are common. Kid takes risks, so his career is limited to a few.


    Duke said proudly: "JGR, Joe Gibbs Racing Team, the second most valuable team, this year''s battle is in full swing, and there is hope to surpass the first!"


    NASCAR is very popular in the United States, far more than the indifferent F1. At first, An Feng didn''t understand that there is no fun in running in an ellipse without skills. After he actually came to the scene, he realized that only the top The roar of the tuned engine is enough to burn the blood of the audience!


    At the end of the chat, when everyone talked about cars, collections, etc., everyone present was able to drive Ferrari and other sports cars, and they also belonged to the wealthy class. Very rare laferrari, simply let the mouth water.


    But after An Feng talked about the luxury racing track he was building, it was everyone''s turn to drool.


    An Feng took the opportunity to promote his racing track, saying that after it was established, he hoped everyone would support it. Everyone is a car fan, and they are not short of money. Will definitely be there, and will drive the most classic cars.

 Chapter 205： add property

    Chapter 205 Adding property


    Everyone was like-minded, so they exchanged business cards or contact information. From what An Feng saw, he had a variety of occupations, but being able to come out to race cars on Wednesday proved that he was usually free, and he had to have spare money to play. Most of them were investments. Those who eat dividends.


    Instead, Howard opened a comprehensive dealer in Los Angeles, engaged in the sales of some niche sports cars.


    An Feng looked at his business card: "Do you sell Koenigsegg and Pagani at the same time?"


    Howard nodded: "Because the output of niche cars is too low, they generally don''t set up sales centers. Of course, there are their sales points in Los Angeles, but I still open advanced ones, not only these two brands, but also some European niche brands, Ascari ( Ascari), Tramontana (Tramontana) both."


    An Feng asked: "Do you have Koenigsegg''s latest Agera-R?"


    Howard smiled: "Of course, but there is only one display car, and you need to place an order for all the existing cars."


    "I''ll go to the store when I''m free, maybe I can bring you some business." An Feng said with a smile. Although the core competitiveness and research and development capabilities of the niche sports car are not strong, it is strong in customization and care. The most important thing is that it has a small number��fewer than the limited edition models of major manufacturers.


    Taking Ferrari as an example, its limited edition LaFerrari sells 499 units, mainly manual work, and the slowest is completed within ten years, with an average of nearly 50 cars a year. However, compared with Koenigsegg, which claims to be mass-produced, it has only The annual output does not exceed 20 vehicles, and there is not much difference between mass production and the limited number of large manufacturers.


    An Feng also likes rare cars, but don��t think about them in stock. Manufacturers only start work after receiving orders, and they pay attention to slow work and meticulous work. Can you believe that he dares to polish a car light in a day? So ordering this kind of car requires patience and a certain amount of financial resources.


    Howard said: "If you want to come, I will entertain you personally, but I have something to go out in the last three days, so it''s best to call me first."


    "I will notify you." An Feng nodded.


    ��


    Joanna has been very busy recently.


    This is what I said...but it is true. It can only be said that it is the same as An Feng playing sports cars, the power of interest is infinite.


    She discussed with An Feng that the racecourse must take traffic into consideration, obviously it cannot be built in a deserted place, even if someone comes, it will take several hours. The plan based on convenience was cancelled, and the address was changed to near SLO, where the airport is large and the population is also large.


    Actually, the most suitable place for the racecourse is around the big cities, but they decided to enjoy it privately and with friends, so they changed most of the plan, focusing on being close to themselves. In addition, the luxurious grandstand is still retained, but the venue has been enlarged. In addition to the professional track, there is also a spacious leisure area.


    Site construction is easy to do if you have money. One or two hundred acres of land can��t be as high as the sky. The land around the SLO city is about three million, and then hire designers and builders. , the cost is lower than expected, maybe just over 200 million.


    But there is another big expense��famous horses.


    Obviously, since there is a luxury racecourse, the horses themselves have to be worthy of the grade. They have to be purebred, descendants of parents who have performed outstandingly, or retired racehorses. Although retired horses are no longer Participate in the competition, but it is not bad to buy back and forth to add some fame.


    Joanna has already calculated the demand: "There are about 15 warm-blooded horses for running the track, and 30 warm-blooded horses for comprehensive training. Taking into account the polo field, we need to add another 20 horses. It is estimated that we will need 65 horses. Horses, based on the average price of 300,000, the budget is about 20 million."


    An Feng rested his head on her legs, listened, and added: "As long as you like, you can be ten times taller."


    "Rationality!" Joanna reminded him, "It''s not like you! As long as you like it, you don''t care about it. These horses are not used to participate in the Olympics, nor are they used to participate in the three major events. The level of 300,000-500,000 is enough to buy very good Yes. Millions of them are hard to raise, and they don��t make much sense.��


    "Well, what you said makes sense." An Feng grabbed her hand and played with it.


    Joanna didn''t notice that his attention was no longer on the conversation, and continued: "Of course, if there are really good breeds, the budget can be increased to 30 million. According to the needs of future expansion, the settings for the four stables can accommodate two horses at the same time. Hundreds of horses and supporting equipment."


    "Two hundred horses? Not bad! But a simple racecourse is not big, so it certainly can''t accommodate that much. You have to expand the foundation."


    Joanna nodded, leaned over and kissed him: "Thank you."


    "Kiss me a few more times, and I can sell you myself." An Feng said with a smile, turning his head and kissing her skin through a layer of cloth.


    "Sweet mouth!" She smiled and pinched his mouth.


    ��


    As far as the private racecourse is concerned, An Feng is basically soy sauce.


    After the style was basically fine, An Feng flew a plane and took her to see the land around SLO in the air. Except for the grape planting area, there are many idle lands around the city. The area is not small, but the transportation is convenient and close to the city. Land prices are a little bit expensive.


    But this is not a factor that affects the purchase, it mainly depends on whether she likes it or not.


    Joanna''s requirements are relatively high. The surface layer of the land should be rich in organic matter soil, on the premise that it is suitable for lawn grass, and add appropriate amount of fertilizer and soil improver; and the road base should use loam or sandy soil, divided into layers or Two-story building; good drainage is required, and the runway is rolled with a roller.


    After looking at it several times, she decided to buy a 165-acre piece of land. An Feng summoned the land agent, signed the contract and handed in the check. Then she called Angela and asked her to find a professional construction team for the racetrack. Starting from transforming the land to plant lawns, we pay attention to everything.


    She has been very leisurely recently. Apart from beauty and fitness, she doesn''t like to drive and have fun all day. She is worried that she has nothing to do.


    After she took over the work at the racetrack, An Feng went to Los Angeles.


    After making an appointment with Howard on the phone, Fred drove him to the research center in Santa Monica by helicopter, and then drove a huge Mercedes-Benz SUV to the address provided by Howard, which is a two-story general sales store. In the parking lot behind, many cars were covered with cloth.


    Get out of the car, greet Howard with a hug, and walk into the store together.


    The store is small, but beautifully decorated. There are two salesmen, one man and one woman. There are two rare sports cars in the indoor exhibition hall: Koenigsegg Agera-R and Pagani Huayra.


    As soon as An Feng saw them, his pace quickened a little. These are rare items, just like the McLaren F1, which can only be seen at auto shows.


    "It''s rare to see it!" An Feng sighed.


    Howard smiled: "I can understand this feeling. I was very excited when I first opened the store. I had to look at them a few times every day to fall asleep."


    "It would be better if it was your own?" An Feng joked.


    "Of course!" Howard nodded, and said with his head sideways: "So I quietly kept one for myself."


    An Feng laughed, this guy is very funny.


    An Feng left the white Agera and turned to look at Pagani-Huayra, which means "wind god". It adopts huge gull-wing doors, that is, the door opens upwards, and the body adopts a large amount of carbon fiber structure. Sitting in the car is also full of metal feeling.


    Howard introduced at the side: "Whether it is Agera or Huayra, they are both excellent. The theoretical top speed is above 400 kilometers per hour. If you refresh the driving computer of Agera and release the electronic speed limit, it can run to a top speed of more than 430 kilometers. .��


    "It''s great, it feels comparable in performance!" An Feng said, which also aroused his interest in driving them on the track for personal testing.


    After carefully admiring the two customers'' ordered cars, he sat down with Howard again.


    "I like them very much." An Feng said straightforwardly, "I can have it sooner. Is it convenient to sign a contract now?"


    "Oh! I can''t react at your speed! I''ve only watched it for ten minutes!" Howard said, but his reaction was not slow, and he turned his head and waved to a saleswoman.


    "I''ve always paid attention to efficiency!" An Feng smiled.


    The sales contract is very easy. Anfeng has put a lot of effort into the color of the vehicle. Because it is produced in a small amount, there are many places for customization for customers, including color and interior decoration. If necessary, you can add your own personalized name to it. , but the wait is longer.


    An Feng''s requirements were simple, so he chose Koenigsegg with white body and black wheels, and Pagani with red body, and carefully selected some interior styles. , An Feng signed his name.


    These two cars are not cheap, Koenigsegg is 1.45 million US dollars, and Pagani is 1.35 million US dollars. Counting the profits earned by the middlemen, they are already very close to the market price. But the manufacturers sell so high, naturally they also have their own profits, but it takes a little longer, and they have to wait for one and a half to two years.


    An Feng was annoyed by waiting, he asked: "Is there no way to go faster?"


    Howard said: "I can contact the factory and ask them to work overtime and deliver within a year, but the customer has to share part of the salary."


    Koenigsegg is quite well-known, but its factory has only about forty employees, and the manufacturing speed is quite slow, so it is also a shortcut to give them more wages to increase the speed. After all, in a capitalist society, if there is no big-name status like Ferrari, money is easy to talk about.


    "How much will it cost?" An Feng asked.


    "It depends on their answer, the two cars do not exceed 300,000." Howard said.


    "Let''s do this." An Feng said, 300,000 can be changed quickly, and he thinks it''s worth it.


    "If you are in a hurry, try to contact the factory in the afternoon. If you are not in a hurry, it will be two days later. You know that Europeans are very laid-back."


    An Feng remembered that Pagani is from Italy... no wonder.


    "I''m not in a hurry, just call me." An Feng stood up and said goodbye to him, "I won''t stay any longer, I have to look at other cars and consider a four-door car."


    "What brand? If it''s a Rolls-Royce, I know the owner of Beverly Hills."


    An Feng originally wanted to buy a Bentley. After all, Les-Royce is too old... He has to be older, and he will be able to sit up with a gray-haired butler in his 30s and 40s... But it is still a choice. He decided to go and see the details with Howard. of. It''s close, everyone is around Beverly Hills.


    As a result, Bentley was ruled out at first glance.


    Although on the surface, Rolls-Royce is in the shape of a large black coffin that has remained unchanged for decades, but its luxurious workmanship and grand appearance are unforgettable after experiencing it in person... Buy it, and Joanna will be knighted in the future, St. After Barbara''s mansion is completed, it will definitely come in handy.


    So he decided to buy it.


    And there''s more than one, three Phantoms - two Phantoms with a black exterior and red interior, and they are long-wheelbase versions, that is, the popular extended version, which is about 15 cm longer than the ordinary Phantom, and most of them are added to the In terms of rear space, VIP guests are more comfortable.


    The third car is a two-door version, a convertible Phantom, with a milky white exterior and white interior. It has abandoned the image of a dull black coffin in the past and has become sporty and fashionable without losing luxury. It is most suitable for wearing a suit The male owner of the hotel drove the car himself and took his wife and children on an outing.


    After adding some personalized decorations, the three cars cost more than one million yuan. The time to pick up the cars is expected to be about two years. An Feng is not in a hurry this time. The racecourse is built, and you can take the driver and bodyguards with you when you go out.

 Chapter 206： super tall building budget

    Chapter 206 Super tall building budget


    After the matter was settled, An Feng said goodbye to Howard, and returned to the research center with a stack of car purchase contracts. Seeing that it was still early, he glanced at the progress of the research center. Director Hart reported that the current appointment list for cancer treatment has been scheduled until March next year, but the growth trend has slowed down.


    It is also reflected from the side that Anfeng''s five million cases of cheating the rich can almost be completed. After all, the probability of rich and sick rich people is very small. In the past few months, more than 30 cases have been cured, and the remaining customers are probably still There are more than 20 people, and the income from quick treatment alone is more than 300 million.


    An Feng is very satisfied. Of course, some people are waiting and watching. Not everyone is eager to become a guinea pig in the research center... These are not within his consideration. I glanced at the work progress of Case''s team, and it''s going smoothly. According to the progress, it may break through at the end of the year.


    An Feng, who had nothing to do, returned to SLO by helicopter.


    Two days later, he participated in a charity fundraising reception held in San Francisco, initiated by the local Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Overseas, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has a huge influence and covers a wide range. Basically, it is an all-round non-profit organization that provides information exchange for overseas Chinese businessmen.


    After all, to do business overseas, you must have a network of contacts, but the circle of white people is not easy to enter, and some people always think they are superior to others.


    Chambers of Commerce also do some charitable activities, and often donate to all walks of life. During the earthquake in China, Chinese chambers of commerce around the world provided a lot of financial assistance. As a wealthy overseas businessman, An Feng was invited to join a long time ago, but he has not been very active, appearing occasionally a few times.


    This fundraising event is one of several occasional ones. It is said that it is prepared for the country. Recently, heavy rains in some areas of the country have affected some schools in remote areas with poor conditions. Therefore, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce intends to support education in these areas. An Feng looked through their history and felt that they were more reliable than the Red Cross Society of China. At least there should be no Meimei here, right? So he brought Joanna with him.


    The location is in a hotel in San Francisco, and all the rich businessmen and politicians are present.


    The fundraising activities are very simple, completely voluntary, and there is no quantity requirement. Most of them are hundreds or even thousands. An Feng thinks that he has a lot of money, and the donation can be deducted from taxes, and it is a charity for domestic children, so he signed one proudly. A check of 100,000 was cast in a low-key way, unfortunately it became the focus.


    An Feng wanted to say that he didn''t do it on purpose, but the amount was a bit too big. His donation alone was comparable to the sum of all the people... No way, he dealt with some enthusiasm and praise, and went around talking to the Chinese councilors. Liu Yaowei stood together. This guy has frequent activities in the San Francisco area, and his behavior has brought a high-profile American publicity, so he is often seen in newspapers or on the Internet. His confident face.


    Liu Yaowei said in Chinese: "Mr. An''s kindness is really admirable!"


    "Where is there!" An Feng said modestly, if he donated to the Yankees, he would not be so enthusiastic. He deducted so much tax from himself, and still donated?


    Liu Yaowei is ABC after all, it took a few seconds to understand what An Feng meant, and smiled: "No matter what, this kind of behavior is commendable."


    An Feng smiled: "How are you doing recently? The party is very busy, right?"


    Liu Yaowei also smiled: "It is indeed very busy. Basically, the party congresses are selecting candidates for president and vice president. There are constant meetings and voting."


    An Feng half-jokingly said: "I''m sorry I''m a foreigner, and I don''t have many opportunities to pay attention. How is the situation?"


    Liu Yaowei said simply: "There are basically no surprises in the presidential candidate, and he is definitely His Excellency Anderson. However, there are some differences in the vice presidential candidate. It is expected to be at the end of August. After the party congress is over, Anderson should devote himself to canvassing speeches across the United States." It''s active."


    An Feng was surprised: "It''s still so long? Recently, I have seen advertisements and supportive words from all parties flying all over the sky!"


    Liu Yaowei smiled: "Before the election starts, it is advisable to selectively publicize through the media. After the candidate with the support of the party takes the stage, we need to pay attention to the funds in this area, because it is open and accepts personal information. Or the money of interest groups must be limited..."


    Liu Yaowei popularized some of the principles of the presidential campaign for him. It doesn��t mean that a consortium can directly donate tens of millions if it is powerful. 5,000 US dollars, and cannot exceed 20,000 US dollars per year to political parties.


    Can you really be so disciplined? An Feng felt that he was not in his place, so it was difficult to say.


    Let��s just talk about the most recent one. When President Trump was running for office, he received more than $300 million in small donations, accounting for about half of the total fundraising. What is a small donation? It specifically refers to payments under $200 that can be transferred through an online bank account and can choose not to disclose the details. This means that the source of this part of the money can go without saying very clearly.


    An Feng and Liu Yaowei clinked a glass, and said with a half-smile: "Is there any more ''hot'' ingredients?"


    Liu Yaowei also told him with a smile.


    According to him, in addition to small-amount donations, there is also a "package" method. How should I put it... For example, at the time of the canvassing campaign in September, Anderson can offer to have dinner with him as a condition for campaign fundraising. . Then, His Excellency Bazel led 2,000 accomplices to participate, and each person gave a maximum check of 2,000 U.S. dollars after the event. This night, Anderson was able to raise 4 million U.S. dollars in presidential campaign donations.


    With Bazel''s influence, it is difficult to drive 2,000 people? With his financial resources, it is very difficult to write two thousand checks?


    So I can get 4 million for a night of picking up customers, and if I come a few more times, the cost of the campaign and advertising will roll in, plus some enthusiastic small-amount donors, it will be several hundred million. No need to worry about the cost, coupled with a good eloquence, a natural image of an American hero...


    An Feng listened, and nodded knowingly: "I also... mention something interesting."


    ��


    After the charity fundraising ended, An Feng''s life was back on track.


    Who makes him not a citizen? Otherwise, in September and October, Bazel or other representatives can be "packed" to send money... If he wants to go, no one will refuse, but That is, non-US citizens cannot send money, so it doesn''t make much sense to go empty-handed.


    When he still thinks there is too much money, the time to spend money has come.


    The designer''s final plan for the mansion was released.


    The 302-acre land located in Santa Barbara, after several months of busy work by the designer team, took away 3.5 million design fees, and finally brought a set of very creative architectural drawings. An Feng and Joanna were full of praise after seeing it, and put the renderings on the computer, the two-story baroque building, lush green garden, lake garden... This is clearly a palace, if the main building is not shrunk.


    An Feng considered that he and Joanna had at most three or four children, plus servants, chefs, gardeners, bodyguards, etc., the total number was about thirty, and they did not live in the main building, so the main building Compared with the Ekaterina Palace, it is much smaller and more private residences.


    The main building has shrunk, but the garden pools and pavilions in the front and back yards have not shrunk in the slightest. They are completely in accordance with the highest standards, pursuing the ultimate in every aspect while taking into account the speed. An Feng said before that he can wait up to four years, and he doesn''t want the children to be able to play soy sauce, and he hasn''t lived in it yet.


    The construction of ancient palaces was time-consuming. To a certain extent, the industry was underdeveloped and there were no large-scale machinery. The advantages of modern society are great, and if you are willing to spend money, the speed will naturally be faster. According to the various requirements of An Feng and Joanna, the construction budget company concluded that it might cost 500 to 600 million US dollars.


    An Feng heard that, after the relationship, the property tax will have to pay several million.


    However, his personal lawyer Hardy Locke told him that the price estimated by the government often fluctuates greatly, and there is no reference standard for his kind of luxurious buildings. But he said it was an ordinary stone, worth five yuan, and then he could calculate the tax as much as he wanted.


    An Fenghan is one, it turns out that there is a reason why the low-key luxury of the rich has connotations.


    Hardy also reminded: "Even if you pay a high property tax, it can still make reasonable adjustments in the individual tax, so according to Mr. An''s living consumption, this aspect will not cause too much damage. However, it is conducive to the development of reasonable tax avoidance activities.��


    Naturally, An Feng would not shrink back because of this little tax. After all, this is the dream of the two of them. Together, they walked around the construction site and compared the drawings to see the surrounding layout. Anyway, there is no shortage of money, so I signed a contract with the most professional construction company according to the design drawings.


    They now need to sign two contracts, estimated at 500 million, and 10% must be paid first. After the completion of the project, re-settlement will be made according to the bills and expenses of all aspects, which is the so-called "pay more for less". In order to ensure the quality of construction, Anfeng also hired a supervision team.


    Joanna took his hand and stood on tiptoe on a rock to look out: "If there is a lawn here, you can ride a horse in the future!"


    "Of course no problem." An Feng supported her. The racecourse is only about 100 acres, and the garden alone is more than 200 acres. Of course, there is no problem with riding a horse. It is necessary to treat it as a horse farm. But this will destroy the overall harmonious beauty. After thinking about it, An Feng decided to take this This idea drives away.


    After turning around, I met with the person in charge of the construction company. Naturally, they must pay attention to large projects. The manager said to An Feng: "If you have no other requirements, the construction team will be able to move in on July 15th. The construction time is expected to be completed in July next year."


    An Feng knew that this group of people was at the front, and they were only responsible for flattening the land, shaping it, and then building the building, so the time was not very long, one year was enough. Then the professional team needs to beautify the gardens, lakes and buildings, and carry out interior decoration work... This aspect may take more than two years.


    In short, this is a time-consuming and extremely high-budget building.


    Before leaving, An Feng looked back at the barren land, 302 acres, 1.22 million square meters, hoping to surprise himself in a few years.

    ��


    The next day, the secretary of the robot company called.


    Yesterday, someone called the company''s administrative secretariat, claiming to be someone from Raytheon, and wanted to negotiate a business with the robot company. Since it was late at that time and there was no one in charge of the company, it was decided to notify An Feng the next day, and the other party also asked the boss to come forward.


    After listening, An Feng said: "Okay, if they have time, I will go there tomorrow morning."


    "No problem, sir, they are in San Francisco." The secretary on the other end of the phone said.


    After An Feng hung up the phone, he was thinking.


    Of course he knows Raytheon, a US defense contractor specializing in the production of missiles and missile defense systems, fighter radars, satellites, etc. They are the ones who produced the Aegis radar, AIM-9 Sidewinder, AIM-120 , BGM-109 "Tomahawk" and other missiles are also made by them.


    Although the other party did not express their specific intentions on the phone, An Feng felt that it was an exoskeleton.


    In the afternoon of the next day, Anfeng''s plane arrived in San Jose.


    The other party came on time. He drove a black Cadillac CTS. Two white men with leather shoes got off. The staff invited them to the office and met with An Feng. One of the middle-aged people introduced himself: "Nice to meet you, I''m Weldon, and this is Johnson."


    An Feng shook hands with them, signed their names and sat down.


    Obviously Weldon was the one who spoke, and he got straight to the point when he sat down: "Mr. An, our company is very interested in the exoskeleton machine you developed."


    An Feng was not surprised: "I know."


    Weldon felt that An Feng was not very interested in his speech, so he explained: "Recently, our company''s business intelligence department collected some videos about mechanical exoskeletons, and found that the exoskeletons with outstanding technology came from Your hands. You know that our company is also engaged in the research and development of military mechanical exoskeletons and has received defense investment, so we want to discuss cooperation."


    An Feng said regretfully: "I''m sorry, we originally had successful experimental products, but since a theft, the samples and design drawings have been lost. The videos you mentioned are probably spread by ghosts in the company. That''s what led to the accident of being stolen."


    Although the exoskeleton was chased back, only An Feng, Hoffman and the team members involved in the operation knew. Even the secret service team didn''t know what the metal in the box was. They signed a non-disclosure agreement afterwards, and the occupation of the bodyguard Quality, will not divulge client secrets.


    Wilden was a little surprised: "Stolen? When did it happen?"


    An Feng said: "About a few months ago, the police and private detectives searched for a long time but found no clues, and the items we recovered were all incomplete."


    Wilden lamented: "What a pity!"


    An Feng''s face was a little unnatural: "Of course, this was designed with tens of millions of dollars, and it was stolen overnight by thieves. The exoskeleton and blueprints have not been recovered until now, especially the US police and customs. It��s useless! No progress has been made since the filing of the case, and the taxpayer��s money is for nothing! I pay so many taxes to the government every year, and in the end it all turns into one or two cold ��sorry��...��


    Wilden felt a lot of anger after hearing a lot of complaints and complaints from An Feng.


    After An Feng stopped to drink water, Weldon tentatively said, "But as long as the technicians are still there, you should be able to continue to develop it, right?"


    "Of course, but it''s very complicated and requires a long process, and the key sensor data is currently lost, and it will take a while to recalculate." An Feng said, holding his chin, and looked up at him, "You are interested ? Do you want to cooperate in development or transfer technology?"


    Wilden smiled: "If Mr. has intentions, we are more willing to hold this company."


    An Feng resolutely refused: "Sorry, we have no plans to accept foreign investment. And many technologies are pure hobbies, and commercial profits are very low."


    "I don''t agree with this, I think your research can lead to a very broad military market." Weldon said, "But since sir doesn''t like it, we can only make the next step: buy your company''s technology and ask you not to provided to third parties."


    An Feng shrugged: "We also want to sell technology, but you know that after it is stolen, we have to spend a lot of energy to redesign and conceive, so there is no technology to transfer, but some blueprints. And the core technology, we are also Rely on outsourcing."


    "Can you tell me?" Weldon said, the interest he showed was indeed very strong.


    An Feng also told him straightforwardly: "As far as the power system is concerned, we purchased it from a British machine company, and the chips and energy came from GP, which has been very popular recently. The titanium alloy material is from other industrial enterprises. In the end it was just the assembly and the design of the frame."


    Wilden''s companion wrote down some key words on the paper.


    An Feng said with a smile: "Hey! Don''t be so open and aboveboard in front of me. The business has not been negotiated yet. Now these are still confidential to some extent."


    Weldon accompanied the smiling face: "I don''t think you will mind if you are so open-minded? Also, can I ask how long it will take for you to redevelop it? Or if you transfer the technology, what is your intended price?" ? Report the number for our reference."


    "Let me think about it." An Feng thought, "My technicians are currently studying abroad, and the key to the exoskeleton is on them."


    "Understandable," Weldon said.


    "It may take more than two months, from design drawings to ordering materials, using high-precision machine tools to build, and then purchasing core technologies. As for all transfers, I have no plans. After all, we still have to rely on its structure to develop Robots, it��s fine to offer them exclusively.��


    Wilden nodded, listening.


    "If you want, 200 million US dollars." An Feng said indifferently.


    Rao, Weldon is calm enough, and his face also changed after hearing the offer. Isn''t this appetite too much? He said: "Sir, you know that our company is engaged in the research and development of military exoskeletons, and the head office has a budget of 70 million US dollars. You are selling 200 million US dollars, which is too high."


    An Feng laughed: "I''m sorry, I want to ask if you have achieved anything after spending 70 million yuan? And what is the level of our development so far?"


    Wilden''s old face blushed. Indeed, Raytheon spent so much money to develop an exoskeleton that can only be installed for more than ten minutes. But Weldon was still dissatisfied with the price: "Sir, it really exceeds the department''s budget."


    An Feng shrugged, with an attitude that the choice is yours.


    Wilden threw out the killer weapon he just found: "But sir, your confidential technology and blueprints have been lost. I feel very unfortunate, but we have to see clearly, which means that those who get it can also develop it, so you The exoskeleton here is not unique in the world."


    An Feng''s face became ugly. Weldon saw it all, the theft of secrets was the scar of this guy, for the sake of negotiation, he could only uncover it again and again.


    An Feng snorted, he couldn''t deny it, and then asked: "Then how much do you think?"


    "Twenty million at most!" Weldon said.


    An Feng actually laughed in his heart. He never thought that he could make money with exoskeletons. He didn''t expect to dig a hole, and now someone would jump in automatically... But he still needs to do enough superficial skills. He shook his head: "It''s too low. Already! Do you think the level of imitation can be compared with the original factory?"


    Wilden said: "It''s a bit low, but we also bear a lot of risks. For example, if these technologies fall into the hands of India, we don''t need to worry. Even if we give them the blueprints, we can''t make them, but they fall into the hands of China." Here, it is guaranteed that there will be special exoskeleton forces in a few months. Mr. An, the risk here is indeed not small, and neither you nor I can be sure which country it will appear in, can it?"


    "It''s not that easy." An Feng said.


    Wilden felt that he was trying to save face, he lost it obviously, and others could imitate it, how proud are you?


    Wilden smiled: "I think Mr. knows better than me."


    An Feng doesn''t care about the price anymore. Anyway, what he wanted to sell at the beginning was only batteries and chips. Now that the goods are delivered to his door, he took the initiative to buy a set of iron shelves that will be given to Wu Dachang in name... his heart is already happy, But the expression on his face was as ugly as eating a fly.


    "You have to let me think about it!" An Feng said with difficulty.


    Wilden said: "It is natural, sir. After you have considered it, please make this call."


    After speaking, he left his business card on the table.


    "Looking forward to your call, Mr. An."


    Wilden left after saying this, leaving An Feng with a "depressed" face.

 Chapter 208： mutual pit

    Chapter 208 Mutual Pit


    When Weldon and his colleagues left, An Feng finally couldn''t hold back his expression, covered his stomach and laughed... You two idiots, do you really think that everything is under control and you have everyone''s handle? It''s really interesting, but there are still some problems in the point of changing hands.


    If it is not allowed to be provided to a third party according to what Weldon said, it is obvious that they are very sure to win the order from the US government, but what about the self-developed ones for security companies in the future? To some extent, this should be a performance of grabbing business, so the details must be carefully considered.


    An Feng wants to provide a batch of exoskeletons to the security company. It is a very effective way to improve the combat effectiveness and the company''s reputation. If this is not allowed in the contract, if you need to pay Raytheon to produce the exoskeletons yourself , wouldn''t it mean that if you don''t succeed, you will be tricked?


    Moreover, the transfer of technology must be done before the patent of the hybrid booster system comes out.


    He called the British side.


    I don''t know what time it is over there. Logically speaking, it should be noon. Hope Goodrich answered the phone.


    "Mr. Goodrich, how is the machine company doing now? Has the patent been applied for?" An Feng asked. When talking about work with the British, you have to be more formal. Unlike the Americans, you can call them by their names casually, even by their names. It can be omitted and replaced by nickname directly.


    Hope temporarily served as the director of the machine company and was in charge of daily operations. He said: "Sir, the technician you sent has already recorded the drawings and construction instructions. We have submitted them for review three days ago. From now on, the design of this aspect as a commercial secret."


    It takes a long time to grant a patent, ranging from three to five months to one or two years, so after the application is submitted, you can do whatever you need to do and take advantage of the time. After hearing this, An Feng said, "Yes, continue to recruit technicians and prepare to start the machine."


    "Preparation is underway, sir, and the quota will be fully enrolled by the end of the month." Hope said.


    After An Feng hung up the phone, he called and chatted with the company''s chief technology officer Hoffman for a while, and learned that he was still teaching those technicians, and it took about half a month to finish teaching the technology. An Feng gave him a good hope: he can continue to develop the exoskeleton when he comes back.


    An Feng re-conceived it again, and everything went according to plan. He dismantled all the money-making parts of the basic exoskeleton, so as to maintain the maximum profit and avoid military sensitive areas. The secret is lost, and the company can''t do anything about where the exoskeleton appears.


    Now just hang out with the other party for a while, and then give an answer.


    ��


    After Wilden went back, he got to know the robot company again.


    On the surface, there is nothing special, just like the tens of thousands of high-tech companies in Silicon Valley, even in the field of robotics, there are a lot of companies that are better than them, but they have strong capital, and foreign companies have invested tens of millions. Ordinary, but has good cooperation with GP company.


    It is unpredictable. You must know that the servers or batteries of GP Company are still shrouded in a veil of mystery... Apart from these mysteries, the robot company has very few employees, but they can buy materials with large sums of money time and time again. Run towards the exoskeleton.


    Wilden can''t understand, is there really pure interest? He went to investigate the theft again.


    As a defense contractor that works closely with the U.S. government, it is easy for official figures to help. Even some of the vacant positions in the company are people from the government. Using their connections, they easily obtained the case records. The Los Angeles Police Department and Santa Clara The LA County Police have them all.


    From the beginning of the company''s theft to the multi-faceted joint investigation, it can be seen that the robot company is very angry and nervous about the theft, has mobilized so much power, and has many illegal activities, but Weldon is not a policeman, he is too lazy to care about these things, he Only care about the whereabouts of the exoskeleton and blueprints.


    According to the suspect''s statement, the exoskeleton has a fixed buyer, but the drawing does not. A group of them took the exoskeleton to the high seas to trade, but failed in the end, and the matter fell through. And another group of people who got the hard disk is going to copy it and sell it at a low price to more countries or companies in need.


    I heard that the exoskeleton was finally recovered, but the police report was missing. Customs and the police have been investigating for a long time, and the state government has also been concerned, but there is still no clue. The background of the robot company is not small... Weldon marked the disappearance record of the exoskeleton, and turned to check the whereabouts of the hard disk.


    Wilden didn''t have much to discover.


    He turned to the company''s security personnel. God knows whether they are undercover agents of the FBI or the NSA. Anyway, it is related to the development of the country. It is necessary for these people to provide help... Soon, an employee who drank coffee and read newspapers all day and had nothing to do, gave He has a precise direction: international intermediary.


    Wilden feels that these agents are still useful at critical moments.


    The international intermediary gave an affirmative answer, saying that they had two sets of drawings in their hands, one original and one copy, the first set had already been sold, and the second set was currently looking for a seller. I don��t know if it��s true. Guaranteed reputation in the industry... But there are not many interested, after all, compared to the asking price of 6 million, there is no sample, and the risk is very high.


    Wilden was also hesitant, but asking a price of 20 million for the robot might not be a deal. If you spend 6 million to buy the drawings now, give up the exclusive technology sharing, and buy a set of samples as a comparison, you will spend up to 15 million. Wouldn''t it be more appropriate to save five million?


    According to An Feng''s asking price, it will definitely exceed 20 million, but buying the blueprint for 6 million will at most take some time for research. If there are samples for reference, of course it will be faster. The most important thing is that it can save a lot of budget, and the company''s investment in this area is not too much.


    Finally Weldon made a move.


    The process is very complicated, whether to pay first and then ship, or to pay first and then pay, or to pay first and then deliver... It depends on the international situation. At present, the west coast has severely hit such multi-national personnel. It took a complex method: to see the goods for money.


    To put it bluntly, it is to inspect the goods. After the professionals confirm the gold content, the two parties finally traded for 6 million yuan and got the design drawings. Weldon was curious about who the previous buyer was, but the other party did not disclose the secret, and only gave a general direction: Asia. There are nothing more than two countries - China and Japan.


    But after all the calculations, China is unlikely, because the international criminal market has not been opened, international intermediaries are not easy to mix, and the attitude towards machine technology is far less than that of Japan. Japan''s robot technology is the world''s leading-although it is used for civilian purposes. On, like boring **** = love machine.


    Wilden feels that the Japanese are not to be feared, let the Americans carry forward this technology! And they have an inherent advantage, the robot company is still on US soil. The next day, he took the initiative to call An Fengming and told An Fengming that since both parties would not make any concessions, the second option would be adopted.


    "Talk about your opinion." With that serious British accent on the phone, Weldon always felt that he was talking to an old-fashioned British guy.


    He dismissed this idea and said: "Maybe we don''t need to reach an exclusive technology agreement, just order a set of exoskeleton from the robot company, how about it?"


    "I can understand that this is an April Fool''s Day joke?" The other party said with a smile.


    Weldon explained: "You misunderstood sir. I mean, the sample and the attached conditions are priced at eight million dollars, one transaction, and we have no right to interfere with who your product is supplied to. But within half a year, you How about not being able to transfer technology to other companies?"


    The other end thought for a while, and just when Weldon thought he still had to bargain, the reply came: "Okay, I like this suggestion too."


    "Then let''s have a formal talk tomorrow." Weldon said happily.


    ��


    An Feng hung up the phone with a strange expression.


    The previous time they said that they could only cooperate at a price of 20 million yuan, so they only need samples and no technology?


    Of course, they demand that technology cannot be transferred within half a year, which is fine, but samples can be sold. For example, competitors Lockheed Martin, if they have samples, they will definitely be able to prevent them from being released... An Feng doesn''t understand, but he also tends to This plan, technology exclusive or something too painful.


    So they sit together and go over the details.


    An Feng couldn''t guess what Weldon was thinking. Even if there were samples of the exoskeleton, it would take time to imitate it. Don''t you see that the Americans or Russia can safely sell arms to India, and even give them blueprints, but they don''t care about China. Careful? Because the overall industrial level is there! For India, which cannot even be self-sufficient in bullets, talking about high technology is too fake and too far away.


    The United States is advanced, but compared to the current manufacturing methods of robot companies, it is only a "little brother". Half a year of research and development is indispensable��unless they have design drawings. It is very difficult to have drawings without samples; it is also difficult to have samples without drawings, but the difficulty is greatly reduced if both are complete.


    An Feng seemed to understand something.


    But he still pretended to be crazy and signed a transaction contract with the other party, promising to only sell products within half a year, and not to transfer confidential technology��not much secret, the power system is in the UK, chips and energy are in Texas, and the rest of the framework It''s just a little more complicated.


    After signing the contract, 8 million is easy to get.


    For An Feng, this seems to have come out of thin air, because no matter what, he hopes that the United States has this technology, and only this aggressive guy can make other countries in the world nervous and let An Feng''s "Gifts of favor" have become extremely weighty.


    The original expectation was zero income.


    But now I accidentally took 8 million more, is it the "event budget" that I got somewhere?


    An Feng gave the Americans a thumbs up, spending money to buy free products, amazing!


    Finally, the agreement between the robot company and Raytheon is to provide the individual with a set of exoskeleton as soon as possible after the technicians come back, that is, before September. For robotics companies that are familiar with the process, a set can be built within a week without any difficulty.


    Waving to the Cadillac, An Feng returned to the office to pack his things happily. Recently, the robotics company has nothing major to do. The exoskeleton has stopped, and the rest is the design and production of some small machines, aircraft or bionic machines. His plan is to lay the foundation first, and then make efforts.

 Chapter 209： Add a boat

    Chapter 209 Adding a boat


    Speaking of the overall effort, An Feng went to visit the construction site.


    The matter was handled by John, who decided to use the robot company as a material warehouse, and the location of the new company was very close to the warehouse, which was convenient for commuting. The final plan is to build a 12-story building, which is shorter than An Feng expected, but it is rectangular and the total area will be larger.


    In addition to the main building, a large two-story parking lot is also set up. The lower floor can be used for parking for employees, and the upper floor is very wide. Therefore, a helipad will be set up, which can accommodate two helicopters at the same time. As for the roof, due to the suggestion of the security consultant, Jeff Clark of Aegis Security, there is no helipad, which is a bit inconsistent with Anfeng''s original idea of ??the tycoon parking on the roof.


    But trust in Jeff''s ability, all his suggestions are adopted. The security consultant team hired this time needs to add security considerations to the architectural drawings to increase the level of confidentiality. In addition, when the building is initially completed, advanced security equipment needs to be installed.


    An Feng intends to set up future industrial and robot companies in the building. Anyway, they are all companies controlled by him. To a certain extent, they can hold each other to achieve the purpose of confusing sight... After he is satisfied and the security consultant has no problem , officially started.


    All he asked for was speed and money.


    ��


    Back home, Joanna was receiving guests, and An Feng greeted the man and woman. I heard from her that it was about the racetrack. Recently, he didn''t intervene much. He just listened to Joanna''s narration in his ear every night. She was very happy to have something to do, and the progress was not bad.


    An Feng also made some plans in a daze.


    There are quite a few things, but they are messy and there is no reasonable plan... It would be great if the machine brain can help him, but until now, unless he is highly focused, he has rarely been able to mobilize it. After getting down slowly, I got used to existence, and looking back now, the progress of restoration is about to reach 50%.


    This means that half of the content is about to come out, but in the face of these disorderly and extensive information, he has a feeling of being unable to start, and the question that has been repeated more than once reappears: What is the purpose? Why do these things appear in my mind?


    He had the feeling that... there was something very important waiting for him to do.


    At the beginning, it was relatively mild and shrouded in heavy fog. An Feng could only explore by himself, but after he found that he could set up backdoors for chips or other mechanical equipment, these technologies became extremely...aggressive. Somewhere, it seemed that a path had been arranged for him.


    The answer to the mystery may be revealed soon.


    ��


    When he thought about these endless things, he suddenly felt a headache. As before, he gave up when he encountered him and turned to think about other things.


    There is still a lot of time, and I have to do something.


    A year ago, he started a shipping business in Miami, Florida in order to purchase cruise ships. A dozen employees have been recruited, but they have been doing nothing until now. The world''s largest cruise ship will take more than a year to complete. Based on the principle of rational use of resources, An Feng has always wanted the company to operate.


    Operation requires a cruise ship, and it is obviously unrealistic to order another cruise ship��it is not a lack of money, but a lack of time. His plan is to buy a boat, but this is also quite difficult. A cruise ship is not the same as a yacht. Yachts may often be sold, but as a commercial tool, cruise ships rarely change hands.


    From the establishment of Ocean Shipping to the present, he has been waiting and watching for more than half a year. Finally, in the past few days, he received news from the employees there that a shipping company in Florida encountered a financial crisis and planned to sell one or two ships. Cruise ships to ease the crisis and are currently looking for a seller.


    A large cruise ship with a cost of more than 100,000 tons is not easy to sell. Its price is too high, and the cost is 600 to 700 million. In addition, those businessmen are very cunning. Although the quality is good, they just don''t buy it. It will be cheaper to hold an auction after the company goes bankrupt... An Feng is eyeing the "spot" in their hands.


    Due to the poor financial situation, the two cruise ships with a capacity of over 100,000 tons under that shipping company have been out of service for three months. They are currently placed in the port to be exposed to the wind and rain, and they are listed for sale but no one cares about them. Wait until they are dying and then take advantage of the fire to take advantage of it as much as possible.


    Through the relationship inquiry, he may still know the boss of the company... When GP was first established, he met a partner named George Green through Roger''s relationship. Later, after the company expanded, he sold the shares at a high price , as a return on venture capital.


    And this shipping company belongs to the Green family where George belongs.


    An Feng contacted Roger, and then connected with the Green family through Roger''s relationship. Although it is said to be a family, there is a big gap with Sinclair, Blue Lane and other hundreds of billions of assets. Green is just a small family with billions of assets. But still huge for the average person.


    Chatted with George on the phone and agreed to go to Miami next week and talk to him about some business.


    After finishing the work, I went to the Internet and read the news from Miami. In the past, I must have stayed here for a few days. After reading some information, An Feng turned to Joanna who was lying in the sun and said, "Honey, are you interested in finding a quiet place to bask in the sun?"


    Joanna took off her sunglasses and looked back at him: "What do you mean?"


    ��


    An Feng''s private plane landed in Florida and drove to the local hotel.


    On Wednesday, there was a business appointment at a golf course. An Feng had little contact with this kind of sport, and he only played a few shots in California. Later, he felt that it was not as interesting as equestrianism, so he gave up this kind of lofty pursuit and devoted himself to it. On to the more expensive horseback riding and collecting sports cars.


    Golf also has clothing requirements. In order to respect the customs, An Feng and Joanna went shopping to find clothes. But there is no means of transportation in the local area, and it is inconvenient to rent a car or take a car. It is very tiring to go around, and An Feng''s footsteps behind him stop at the door of the car shop and cannot move.


    On Wednesday, An Feng was invited to drive to the golf course in Miami Beach in the morning.


    She was sitting in a car. Joanna hadn''t arrived yet, but Jim, the assistant who became a full-time employee, followed her from California to Florida with a briefcase. Jim used to be John''s assistant. Because of his good performance and An Feng''s appreciation, he was able to become a regular and became the third assistant of the big boss.


    In addition to playing golf, An Feng''s second purpose here is to discuss business.


    But for the business talk at noon, An Feng came a little earlier, and planned to have fun first and exchange feelings. He was dressed casually for playing golf, with a collared T-shirt, casual trousers and golf shoes. Considering the problem of sun exposure, the assistant prepared a hat for him, which seemed quite high-end.


    George, who hadn��t seen him for a long time, greeted him with a smile on his face, and shook hands with him: "Hi, Bruce! How are you doing? Where''s Madam?"


    An Feng said: "Very good, but she has to be late for some things. What about you? I heard that there are a lot of troubles?"


    George sighed, and walked side by side: "There are a lot of troubles. There is something wrong with the family''s investment. The funds cannot be recovered at once, and the shipping industry has been affected. A large loan has encountered problems again. I can''t find it." Once we find a suitable way out, we can only make a decision to sell it.��


    "Don''t worry, we will get through this difficult time." An Feng said.


    "Thank you for saying that." George and he walked to the field, and someone beside them prepared all kinds of clubs for them.


    "Shall we play first?" George said.


    "No problem." An Feng chose the glove, and then the club. The rules are also very simple. Standard 18 holes. The total score of the 18 holes is used to determine the winner. Generally, professionals or coaches can keep around 70. 100 is not bad. For a novice like An Feng , he set himself 200 shots.


    It''s a pity that his skills are really not good, maybe to cater to An Feng, George''s performance is also average. The two played golf less often, and spent more time chatting. With a few assistants watching, the two of them reserved the field and swung wildly. However, An Feng''s skills are really...


    Later he couldn''t pretend anymore: "Sorry, I''m really not good at this kind of sport."


    George smiled and said: "It''s okay, I don''t actually like it either, I think drinking beer on a yacht is more interesting!"


    "I agree!" An Feng said with a smile, stood in the sand, and swept a shot vigorously, accompanied by splashing sand and white ball, and rushed to the hole where it should fall.


    Looking at the ball flying out and over the hole, he frowned: "Can''t we dig a bigger hole?"


    George asked: "How much do you want?"


    "About this big?" An Feng clamped the club and compared his hands.


    George smiled: "Are you planning to plant trees?"


    "If you allow!" An Feng said.


    George greeted the assistant: "Just at that position, dig a hole as big as Mr. An hopes!"


    "Okay, sir!" The assistant immediately ran to find someone to work.


    An Feng said in surprise: "I was just joking!"


    George smiled: "Don''t mind, having fun is the main thing."


    "Okay!" An Feng smiled half a smile, "After the meeting is over, we will plant a tree!"


    ��


    While digging the pit, the two left in a battery car, went to a leisure bar in the stadium, ordered two glasses of cocktails, and talked about the change of hands of the cruise ship.


    When it comes to cruise ships, George complained bitterly: "The current cruise tourism industry is highly competitive. It happens that the family''s capital turnover is not working well. Two cruise ships have already ceased operations. If the vicious circle continues, the huge debts will be more difficult to pay off. The only way out is to apply for Bankruptcy protection, the company''s assets are auctioned off."


    An Feng asked: "How is the maintenance of your two ships?"


    George said: "The ships are in good condition. One of them was built in 1996, and the other was built in 2009. I have some information about them here, you can take a look."


    Speaking, George took out a beautifully printed booklet, and he said with a smile: "In order to change hands, I even made some advertisements."


    An Feng picked it up and looked through it. It contains the data of the two ships. The displacement of the older cruise ship is about 112,000 tons. Since the construction time is a bit long, the conditions are not very satisfactory to Anfeng. If you need to repair or replace some machines after buying it, although it is cheap, But not worth it.


    The other is a cruise ship that has just been launched for less than ten years, with a displacement of 135,000 tons, 1,500 guest rooms, and a capacity of accommodating 3,500 guests. There are casinos, theaters, nightclubs, gyms, and miniature golf.


    An Feng put down the brochure and said, "I like this big one better, ''Sapphire''? It feels very good. How much did you pay for it?"


    "$830 million," George said.


    "How much money can I sell?"


    "$730 million," George said.


    "I came here with sincerity, buddy!" An Feng said with a smile. He had done his homework beforehand. This ship is indeed good, but if it is resold, 730 million is very high. It has been listed for more than three months, and no one has lowered the price. Ask about it. Obviously, everyone is waiting for them to go bankrupt before auctioning them at a low price.


    George smiled and said, "Well, how much do you think it''s worth?"


    "600 million U.S. dollars!" An Feng said bluntly.


    "Too low!" George frowned.


    "But what I give is cash, whether it''s a domestic or international account!" An Feng said calmly.


    The temptation of cash is great. If the company is in debt, the company will go bankrupt sooner or later. After bankruptcy protection, nothing will belong to them anymore, and they will not get a penny. But now that the boat is sold, if they can get so much cash, even if the company goes bankrupt, the money can be used as profit.


    You know, a cruise ship company with assets of more than 3 billion yuan should have a net profit of about 100 million to 200 million yuan.


    George couldn''t make up his mind. He said sorry and stepped aside to make a phone call.


    After a while, people from the Green family came, and after a few pleasantries, they negotiated again on the issue of price. An Feng didn''t give much face. After all, he had experienced many times in American business negotiations. No matter how good he was before, when he came to the negotiating table, he had to be as decisive as killing his father and enemy!

 Chapter 210： low price

    Chapter 210 Start with a low price


    An Feng was not unprepared. He had done his homework before going to the meeting and consulted professionals on the situation of the two cruise ships. Taking the Sapphire as an example, it has a displacement of 135,000 tons and has been in use for less than ten years. Focusing on luxury and exquisite decoration, it is normal for George to ask for 700 million.


    But today��s world is different, businessmen are looking for profit, and opponents have spotted the Green family��s financial crisis and urgent need for money. The value of this ship is hard to exceed 700 million anyway. An Feng simply cut off 100 million yuan, and the psychological price is 650 million yuan, and the rest depends on how to negotiate.


    He believes that his price is still very human compared to other people''s downfall.


    Assistant Jim knew that this was his first performance after becoming a regular, and it was about his future and salary, so he showed 120,000 points of professionalism and negotiated with the other party.


    An Feng, who had nothing to do, went to swing a few shots with George.


    Not to mention, a hole as big as a tree pit, a hole-in-one, is as good as Tiger Woods... The laughter of the two and the onlookers also spread far away.


    After another swing, the phone rang, and An Feng took off his gloves to listen to Joanna''s call.


    "Honey, I''m at the gate of the stadium, where are you?" Joanna said softly.


    An Feng looked around and showed her the way: "I''m right in front of the door, you go straight along the road, and you will see a group of people behind a lake."


    Soon, a Lamborghini Aventador with a white body and carbon black wheels could not hide its low profile. It is a convertible model, which is different from the convertible Huracan bought by Anfeng in London. Equipped with the iconic "scissor doors".


    This car...in fact, it was bought by An Feng, who was carrying a shopping bag and couldn''t walk on his legs when he was shopping the day before yesterday.


    The lady drove this kind of convertible with huge horsepower, and she was also neat and neat. She parked the car on the side of the road gracefully. While everyone was staring at her, she opened the door and got out of the car. She was dressed in an elegant black dress like a celebrity preparing to attend a reception. , with a smile on his face, he came towards them slowly.


    Xiangche beauty is very eye-catching, and many men and women have thought of asking for a number.


    Joanna stepped forward and kissed An Feng on the cheeks, and let him hug her waist intimately, and appeared in front of everyone. Of course, this is also a direct expression of declaring a woman''s right to belong - who made all the men present stare at her chest and exposed white back.


    George stepped forward to shake hands with her gently, and praised: "You are very welcome, beautiful lady! Your presence makes the style of this place even more elegant!"


    "Thank you." Joanna smiled decently, giving An Feng a lot of face both in her appearance and her inner temperament.


    Joanna looked at the big pit ahead and asked curiously, "Honey, what are you doing?"


    Everyone laughed suddenly, An Feng said happily: "We... this is to plant trees."


    "Plant a tree?" Joanna looked around. A tree is planted in the middle of such an empty golf course?


    George also said: "Yes, ma''am, we are indeed planting trees."


    Joanna shook her head: "It must not be like this."


    Just when everyone wanted to continue teasing the beauty, George''s assistant came over: "Mr. Green, everyone suggests going to see the cruise ship."


    George looked at An Feng, he nodded: "No problem, I just want to see it too!"


    Joanna walked towards the Lamborghini, but An Feng didn''t take the initiative to go up. Instead, she opened the door and sat in the driver''s seat by herself, while An Feng walked around to the passenger seat and got in. She felt a little shy, started the sports car, turned around and followed a few battery cars.


    An Feng jokingly said, "Take your man for a ride, doesn''t it feel good?"


    "Of course, she looks like a woman in the free age!" Joanna nodded in satisfaction.


    "Well, women in the free age..." An Feng smiled and took out a pair of sunglasses from her bag, "Put them on for you, sun protection, and the effect is even cooler!"


    "So sweet!" She turned her head and kissed him.


    ��


    Joanna drove to keep up with the convoy, crossed the city to the pier by the sea.


    On the pier used by the Green family, an unusually large cruise ship docked quietly. The Sapphire has nothing to do with blue, and the hull is pure white. The name "Sapphire" is printed in blue letters on the bow.


    It has been out of service for a long time, there are only a few security guards on board, and it took a while to wait for boarding. It''s too big, and it can''t be directly stepped on like a small boat. It needs to use a boarding bridge to connect the hull, and then let the guests step into the body of this huge steel monster like a boarding bridge.


    While waiting, George introduced them: "This ship is 310 meters long, with a displacement of 135,226 tons and a height of 61 meters above the waterline. It is equivalent to a 20-story residential building. The top floor has a very good view and is equipped with various water entertainment facilities. It is one of the most popular projects for tourists.��


    An Feng looked up, the height of the 20-story building, from the outside, each suite has a small balcony, if it is not for its huge body floating on the water, and the number of balconies, I am afraid that it is easy to be mistaken for land. The luxury apartment building... First of all, the appearance is a plus.


    He likes the big ones.


    The Sapphire was manufactured after the 21st century, and its design tends to be more modern. Whether it is circuit equipment or other configurations, in addition to many ordinary elevators, there are also two indoor sightseeing elevators in the ship, which can view the 15 decks in the cabin. The featured attractions are very convenient.


    But it is impossible to visit more than 1,500 rooms within a few days, so I picked some representative ones, which are positioned as luxurious, so there are many types of luxury suites. After looking at the room, there are living and entertainment facilities on the ship. The 12th deck of the bow is opened all the way, and you can see the sky clearly when you look up, surrounded by various restaurants, coffee shops or sales points of various brands. The variety is complete, comparable to land.


    Stepping on the red-brown high-end carpet, walking in the resplendent casino, or strolling in the cigar club, there is a strong sense of luxury, and the cruise ship also uses top Swarovski crystals to create welcome stairs. It is said that each step will cost 300,000 US dollars , Walking on it is like a dream.


    After the tour, they sat down in the indoor plant viewing area on the top floor.


    An Feng said: "The decoration looks very good, but I still need someone to check the specific operating data of the ship and the operation of the machine."


    Old George, that is, George''s father, nodded: "That''s for sure. Issuing an authoritative report will make both of us feel at ease."


    An Feng said with a smile: "Very good, but we still have a little disagreement on the price."


    Old George sighed: "Well, you know that our family is in urgent need of money, so let''s give in to each other. How about a deal of 620 million?"


    Jim said beside him: "They insisted on 650 million up front."


    An Feng put his finger on the table and thought for a while, then nodded: "If the inspection proves that the ship is in good condition, I can accept this price."


    The Green family''s face was overjoyed, almost smiling. Although it was a bit low, they had planned to sell it at a lower price in exchange for funds. This deal was much better than the worst case, and the negotiation process Zhong kept saying that he was at a loss and it was just pretending.


    Although it is possible to lower the price a little more, Anfeng does not have much time. Anyway, the difference is tens of millions. If the vacation is wasted on the whole day of negotiations, I am too sorry for the dollar bills in my pocket... But as far as the market is concerned For the price, it is very affordable.


    But there are some follow-up issues: staffing. You must know that in its heyday, there were 1,600 employees on the Sapphire. After the Green family encountered a financial crisis, these people almost disbanded. Now that Ocean Shipping wants to take over, it must spend time recruiting.


    George is also aware of this, and he gave a suggestion: "If you still can''t find the crew, I can recommend the original batch of navigators to you."


    "Including the captain and waiters?" An Feng asked.


    George shook his head: "Not so many, only the captain and some of his men, all kinds of waiters and security personnel on the ship need to be re-recruited, if you want to be quick, I can also recommend people, they are relatively skilled, can Quicker adaptation to life on board."


    An Feng said: "I hope to use some of the original staff."


    The reason is naturally proficiency. The old employees know the cruise ship very well, and some new employees can join in and lead each other, so that they can get familiar with the work faster. You must know that even if the cruise ship is not used, it is like burning money for such a big guy to park in the pier. The daily cost is at least 100,000.


    George thought for a while and said, "I''ll go back and arrange for someone to contact the original crew members, and try to find those managers, waiter foremen, and the like."


    An Feng said: "Thank you, this saves me a lot of work!"


    George smiled: "It''s okay, you also helped us a lot at a critical moment."


    ��


    An Feng had a meeting at Ocean Shipping Company.


    At present, there are very few employees. In fact, the shipping company does not have many employees on land, and most of them stay on board. He discussed the recruitment with several employees who had nothing to do for many days. As a company, it definitely needs a competent supervisor, and also needs supervisors.


    The director was not found, but the supervisor was there, Jim was obvious.


    Jim flipped through the information and introduced: "The Sapphire used to travel around the Eastern Caribbean. It started from the port of Miami, went to St. Martin, St. Thomas, then to Nassau, and finally returned to Miami. It took 15 days. Also once took a 12-day fast journey."


    An Feng didn''t have any good ideas, so he said, "Let''s continue with this route. Besides, isn''t St. Thomas very close to St. Kitts and Nevis?"


    An employee present said: "St. Thomas is in the U.S. Virgin Islands, about 152 nautical miles from St. Kitts and Nevis, half a day''s voyage."


    "Not bad!" An Feng nodded. In fact, the Eastern Caribbean is an island country with beautiful natural scenery, and St. Kitts is not bad. He has been here a few times and saw cruise ships docking at the pier, so the tourism industry is very promising. In addition, he hopes to develop the local area. It also means to contribute.


    After all, the richest, most philanthropic, and most popular diplomat in the Federation has to make some contributions, open up tourist routes, build resort hotels locally, or ask the parliament to discuss, designate an area to set up some casinos, and let those who land Passengers are also having fun.

 Chapter 211： private beach

    Chapter 211 Private Beach


    The meeting ended in the afternoon, so I went for a drive when I was bored.


    Joanna may have enjoyed being the protagonist, she drove the whole journey, and An Feng was also happy to act as a "little boy" to go shopping with the rich woman. After three o''clock in the afternoon, it is said that people are gradually waking up, because in Miami, the night is the most lively, and the carnival crowd usually stays up all night, sleeps in broad daylight, and wakes up at three or four in the afternoon to drink afternoon tea or something , Continue to make noise at night.


    Joanna drove onto the bridge, turned around and said, "Shall we go visit the island?"


    "It''s up to you." An Feng said indifferently.


    Miami''s various local islands are well-known at home and abroad, where celebrities and rich people gather, various styles and various luxury, surrounded by dense palm trees, attracting countless people''s longing eyes. Even Joanna was not exempt. She drove a sports car and turned onto the road leading to Palm Island.


    The sports car drove across the bridge and turned onto the road on the island. Various mansions under the cover of big trees began to appear on both sides of the road. As far as she knew, Joanna said: "Visitors who drive in are not allowed to stop, they are only allowed to drive slowly." Driving to ensure that the rich and famous have enough privacy.��


    An Feng curled his lips: "Don''t believe this, no one will take care of your parking now."


    Naturally, ordinary tourists drive in and take pictures with their cameras, which must be listed as a key prevention and control target by the community management, but this kind of beautiful woman who drives a convertible and has an extraordinary temperament comes in with her little boy. Don''t dare to open your eyes and talk indiscriminately, maybe it''s the new owner?


    Joanna smiled: "You are so smart!"


    An Feng looked at the villa in front of him, and said, "I''ve also heard that Will Smith, Ricky Martin, Uncle Long, or rich foreigners all have mansions here. They come here in December every year and live there. For a month or so, the remaining 300 days are all vacant for the housekeeper to live in."


    "That''s an attitude to life." Joanna said, "And, Mr. An, stop talking about others, what about yourself?"


    "I''m not that wasteful, am I?" An Feng always felt that he was quite economical.


    "Nonsense." She smiled.


    "How about we also be neighbors with celebrities?" An Feng saw a "house for sale" sign in front of a villa, and the price below it was 15 million.


    "Look, I just finished talking!" Joanna said, turned a corner ahead, and continued to cross the bridge to the next island lined with mansions.


    "There''s no place to spend the money anyway." An Feng said to himself, and turned to look at her: "Then what do you like?"


    ��What is Miami like?�� she asked.


    "Sunshine, beach, palm trees and beauties in bikinis." An Feng said, this meme is dead long ago, the first three items have always been there, but beauties in bikinis are not necessarily, at least he has only seen a few in so many days. It is barely plausible, but a large group in the legend has not been seen.


    Joanna said: "Don''t you think there is something missing on these islands, or do they overlap with us?"


    An Feng turned his head lazily and understood: "I know! The beach is missing, the yacht dock is repeated, but the beauty in bikini is right in front of you."


    After saying this, he stretched out his hand.


    "Stop!" Joanna scolded, slapping off his paw, "If you want to buy, the one with a private beach is the best choice."


    "No problem." An Feng took her words as agreement, and pointed forward: "Let''s go, I''ll take you to find the most luxurious private beach villa!"


    Joanna turned around: "The sea is ahead."


    An Feng: "..."


    There is a saying that the more places tourists can��t get to, the more expensive the house price will be.


    The rich like to keep a low profile, except for a few who like to show off their wealth, but obviously, most people don''t want their quiet life to be disturbed. There are almost no people who do this, and An Feng can''t do it so fiercely.


    The islands in the inner bay of Miami are familiar scenic spots, so some rich people who like to be quiet and enjoy exclusive wealth skip directly and turn to the north of Miami. The top of the twenty-odd kilometers of sunny beaches is golden and soft sandy beaches along the way. , clear and charming sea water.


    Most of the coastal areas are public areas, but there are still real estate developers who have obtained a small piece of sandy beach. It is also just right away from the tourist area, and the scenery is not inferior. In addition to having a beach of thousands of square meters, there is also a blue and clear view. The shallow water area at the bottom is in line with the principle of few people and low profile.


    Joanna drove north and walked along the spacious road surrounded by palm trees. There were all kinds of mansions on both sides of the road. The houses here are not cheaper than those on the islands just now, and the total area is larger. Looking all the way, There are also many properties for sale, some of which have been listed for more than half a year.


    Afterwards, An Feng learned that some villas were offered at too high prices, and no one was interested in them for half a year, and the prices also dropped again and again.


    An Feng didn''t know the reason why the others didn''t make a move. Anyway, the more there were for sale, the wider his choice... The next morning he made an appointment with an agent, and Joanna still drove him to see the house. She didn''t drive fast, and chose the most comfortable mode, blowing the wind comfortably.


    The lady who received them was very quick and quick, and immediately took them to visit these luxury houses for sale.


    According to her introduction, the total area of ??luxury houses in this coastal area is similar, but the difference lies in the building area. Some people want the backyard to be spacious, so they reduce the building area. Between 7000 and 8000 square feet.


    Due to the unique location, each house has a different style. An Feng saw two neighbors, one with a Southern European style, and the other with a bit of South American style...The talents of the architects will be sprinkled on Here, these mansions are also works of art that condense true wisdom.


    Artworks are naturally valuable. The initial cost may be four to five million, but now it must be more than ten million, and the high one is more than thirty million. But these are just numbers to An Feng. As long as Joanna is satisfied, she will dare to buy it for 300 million yuan, and then live there for 20 days a year just like the rich.


    Joanna commented on a house: "I don''t like this style. It''s like bringing a group of men and women to party all night. It''s messy and full of alcohol and cigarettes. Erosion life."


    "Let''s go to the next stop." An Feng said to the female agent, he has no objection, because these houses look great, and they are all the painstaking efforts of professional designers.


    The female intermediary asked Joanna: "Do you prefer clean and stylish ones?"


    As expected of a professional, you can judge your preferences by words and deeds. Joanna nodded: "We plan to use it for vacation, so simple and fashionable ones are the best."


    The female agent smiled: "There are many houses like this, please follow me."


    After looking at a few more sets, Joanna took a fancy to a house with an unconventional shape, gray and white tones, made of various graphics, like the geometric world drawn by abstract painters, with a strange beauty, and a large number of glass walls The surface collects sunlight to the maximum extent, making the house appear spacious and bright.


    The floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby occupy the height of two floors. Looking up, you can see the inner corridor on the second floor. The crystal chandelier above the head hangs down, and when you turn on the switch, it is crystal clear and bright. Outside the window is the grass and the swimming pool. The terrain is one or two meters higher than the beach, so you can overlook the rolling sea.


    Joanna ran out to step on the lawn with a smile on her face. An Feng followed her and asked the female intermediary: "These glasses are so thick, are they bulletproof?"


    It was originally half-joking, but she nodded and said: "Yes, the previous owner of this house asked the designer to take into account the scenery. You can see the blue sky and the sea when you open your eyes, and you need to ensure safety, so you used bulletproof Glass, it''s resistant to assault rifle fire."


    You can''t understand the world of the rich, An Feng shook his head and followed.


    The backyard is very spacious, with a square swimming pool covered, so you can choose to open and close. There is also a jacuzzi that can accommodate four or five people, and the flowing water is continuously falling from the mouth of the lion sculpture, which is very interesting. The planted plants spread to the beach outside, and the sand is all soft and fine. The female agent said that this was also selected, and all the large stones were picked up so as not to affect the beauty.


    Joanna took off her high heels, walked barefoot on the beach for more than ten meters, looked at the vast sea in front of her but could clearly see the sea bottom, a gust of sea breeze blew, and the surging waves chased to the coast, and there were some resident creatures Dragging the house and running in a panic, looking for a safe haven...


    "It''s so beautiful, and very quiet." Joanna turned her head and said to An Feng.


    The female intermediary also noticed that the lady driving a sports car has a magical power that the husband cannot resist, and he has no objection to almost what she likes, so he strikes while the iron is hot: "Ma''am, there are rich people who come here for vacation at a certain time, so basically It''s empty and usually very quiet."


    "I like it." She grinned.


    An Feng shrugged, if you like the moon, I will find a way... He turned to look at the female agent.


    The agent smiled and said, "For only 26 million US dollars, this house with a private beach and beautiful sea view can be exclusively enjoyed by my wife! In addition, we also provide professional butler services, which can save you from the worries of managing the house and let you enjoy it every time. The living experience is perfect."


    An Feng also nodded: "The housekeeper is good, we don''t have time to take care of these details."


    After that, what else is there to say? After signing the contract and making the payment, the agency provides free house cleaning services, re-disinfects and cleans the house inside and out, and at the same time provides dozens of housekeepers to choose from. The annual salary is generally around 100,000, which is not high. But the work is really easy. I can live in a luxury house, but I rarely do anything.


    An Feng considered that with the beach, Joanna would occasionally carry out some meaningful activities back to nature, such as **** on the beach, and the butler was obviously not suitable, so he chose a female housekeeper, which is better than a male housekeeper. There are few, but there are still choices. In the end, he chose a Chinese woman.


    It is more convenient for those who can speak Chinese. In the future, my parents and relatives will also come to spend a few days of vacation. I will save myself the trouble of thinking about the meaning of these English words. I can communicate directly in Chinese. The housekeeper will implement the plan attentively... two days later when they move in , the butler also arrived at the same time.


    It looks like a woman in her thirties, very young for a housekeeper, but she can speak Chinese. She introduced herself to them in English: "Mr. An, Madam, thank you very much for hiring me. My name is Nancy and my surname is Wu. I hope we can get along well in the future."


    An Feng asked: "Can you speak Chinese?"


    "Yes, Mr. An." Nancy spoke pure Chinese, "I immigrated from China with my parents, and I went to middle school in China."


    "The profession of female housekeeper is quite a break from the tradition." An Feng said.


    Nancy nodded: "So I hope to challenge the limit of my ability and prove that many jobs are not necessarily the expertise of men."


    An Feng shrugged and reached out his hand to her: "I think Joanna will approve of your words."


    Nancy shook hands with him, then looked at Joanna with a smile, she also extended her hand, and said with style: "Of course, I am in charge of him."

 Chapter 212： love grave

    Chapter 212 Love Grave


    It is worth buying a house that can blow the sea breeze, see the sea, and listen to the waves. It is in an excellent location, quiet and close to the sea, with a private beach. The house is not small, nearly 8,000 square feet, or about 740 square meters , with 5 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. Due to the designer''s creativity, many walls of the house have been removed to highlight its spaciousness.


    In terms of the total area of ??the house, including thousands of square meters of private beach, it will be nearly 4,500 square meters, more than enough for two people, and even a little empty. But after being paired with a butler, there is an extra person, and she handles the cumbersome affairs, and the host is only responsible for enjoying, which feels pretty good.


    An Feng held a party with it.


    That is, the person who entertained the Green family, and signed the contract by the way.


    The professional inspection team hired by Anfeng took the cruise ship out these days, wandered around the sea for a few laps, and inspected the operation of various equipment. After the end, they issued a professional review result with legal effect, and finally concluded that The conclusion is that the Sapphire is in good working order.


    According to the original agreement, if the cruise ship is in good condition, An Feng will pay them 620 million U.S. dollars. The money will be injected into Ocean Shipping Company as a commercial investment, and then traded with the Green family through the company. There are a few more steps in the procedure, but for tax deductions , which is understandable.


    As for the party matters, with a butler, Wu Qian is of course in charge, including hiring a team to host various parties, bartenders, creative design and so on. An Feng made a few phone calls and called his lawyer in California to make sure there were no loopholes.


    An Feng doesn''t think much, but he still has to think about the hostess. Joanna loves beauty, especially after marriage. She likes to show her beauty and attract her husband''s attention. This time is no exception. The style, at the suggestion of the stylist, changed to a bold one.


    The female stylist invited by the housekeeper helped her design a cool and **** outfit, with fluffy hair, ruby ??earrings, pink lipstick, and a long black halter dress with a deep V and an open back. This kind of burden was directly passed, and she went into battle in a vacuum.


    The deep V in the front has beautiful breasts, and the back is open to reveal the beautiful back. It is indeed very bold. The caring stylist helped her choose a **** sticker to prevent bumps. Joanna looked in the mirror and was very amazed. Then she put a shiny chain on her wrist and suddenly became a mature and charming lady.


    "Madam, sir is waiting for you downstairs." Wu Qian informed softly from outside the door.


    Joanna turned around, and Wu Qian praised: "It''s so beautiful!"


    "Thank you." Joanna walked out with graceful steps, and followed Wu Qian down the stairs of crystal glass. An Feng waited downstairs with his hands behind his back. After flicking her hair, she is instantly charming and charming.


    An Feng said sincerely: "It''s amazing, my dear."


    Joanna was very satisfied, stretched out her hand to hold his arm, and came to the yard with him. The afternoon party has already started. Although it is informal, the men are all in shirts and trousers, and the ladies are also very serious about their dress. After all, this attitude is necessary for a successful business negotiation.


    The appearance of the hostess has indeed won everyone''s attention and praise without hesitation. She is indeed beautiful and **** today, which can be called a welfare. She looked at An Feng''s face, and it didn''t matter what other people thought. If he didn''t think it was good, the two hours of dressing up would be wasted.


    But he smiled very brightly, and Joanna whispered in her ear, "Are you satisfied?"


    An Feng looked calmly and said: "Very good, but I feel like I''m showing too much. I''m at a disadvantage. I need to find some ground from other people."


    "How dare you!" She smiled, but her words were threatening.


    "Who told you to go up and down the vacuum." An Feng also said with a smile, if he hadn''t stood by and listened, he really wouldn''t know what the smiles of the two of them represented.


    "I... suddenly like this, can''t I?" Joanna said stubbornly.


    "Ms. Green, hello!" An Feng smiled and shook hands with a lady, hugged and kissed, and after a few pleasantries, they entered the venue. He returned to the topic with Joanna: "Then you are ready to bear the consequences... I think I will suddenly like certain poses tonight."


    "Hmph!" She didn''t care, "I''m not afraid."


    "Pay attention to morality." An Feng hugged the next guest sweating a little. He wondered if he had infected her with too many negative things.


    "Just kidding, baby." Joanna smiled, "But if I know you care so much, then my appearance today must be outstanding."


    An Feng turned his head and said, "You know that no matter what the situation is, I will like it."


    "I''m so touched, I''ll give you a kiss." Joanna kissed him on the face, but left a clear lip mark, "Oh, wipe it off for you!"


    "Haha, it''s alright." An Feng grabbed her hand, "Don''t stand in the sun, I''ll take care of it here, go over there and chat with the ladies under the shade of the trees."


    Before leaving, Joanna lit a fire in his ear: "It''s up to you at night."


    ��


    Everyone drank a cool cocktail and chatted. Let the lawyers look through the contract in the house. An Feng also listened to some praises for his new house, which greatly satisfied his vanity... Then we ate, drank and chatted until evening, and the two sides confirmed After correct, sign the contract.


    After signing the contract, the party came to an end. The two parties said goodbye, and the other party expressed their satisfaction with the event. An Feng sent them to the door, waved his hand, and turned back to the house. The housekeeper has ordered a meal service for the house, which is an Italian dinner prepared by a chef and his assistant.


    An Feng went to the dining table and pulled out the chair, asked her to sit down, and then had a very happy dinner for two together. After the meal, they poured some brandy to aid digestion after the meal, sat on the egg-shaped cushion outside, leaned together and clinked glasses with each other, looking at the blue sea and the reddened sky for deliberation.


    Joanna leaned on his shoulder and asked, "What do you think of our butler''s performance?"


    An Feng''s expression was satisfied: "It''s not bad. As far as this party is concerned, it saved us a lot of trouble, and he also knows how to prepare a warm dinner for us."


    "Yes, I also think she is very careful." Joanna nodded.


    An Feng curled his lips: "I also found a stylist for you to dress up in a blood-boiling look."


    Joanna put his arm around her waist and asked, "Is it okay?"


    "Okay." An Feng touched her exposed smooth skin, "It would be nice to have a butler to handle things."


    Joanna said: "Then she will be our housekeeper in Miami."


    "Agreed," he said.


    ��


    After staying for two more days, they flew back to California.


    Half of the money was spent on this trip, the cruise ship cost 620 million US dollars, and considering the operation and labor company, he invested another 80 million in the company, so the total expenditure was 700 million. In addition to the racetrack that Joanna made up her mind on all the way, it would cost tens of millions including the horse racing, as well as the Santa Barbara real estate and the new company in Santa Clara County. Calculated, the personal account has already spent nearly 1 billion.


    An Feng feels that the money is still not enough, but fortunately, the company has finally started to make profits, and the more money he has in the future, the next year will be a bumper harvest. First, there will be a 14% dividend from Tailan, at least 300 to 400 million Bar? Coupled with the dividends from GP Energy, the net profit is estimated to be 2.5 billion, so he can get 600 million. In addition to the research center, or the pharmaceutical factory that will be ready next year, it is certain that I will get more than one billion yuan, and then I will have a fixed salary in June, which adds up to almost three billion yuan, not including offshore accounts. of.


    With this optimistic attitude, An Feng arranged the plan a little further.


    He can say that he is not short of money now, or that he is short of money... He always feels that he has to prepare more money just in case, although it has been spent, sports car collections, real estate or companies can be mortgaged or sold. Part of the reason for this mentality comes from the unknown answer.


    The progress of the machine brain has been hovering around 50%. His feeling was stronger, or a sign, something would happen half the time, maybe the answer to the mystery, maybe nothing...he didn''t know. But prepare more money, money can turn ghosts around, right?


    Hiding in the shade of the trees in the backyard, watching a group of young people who came to play at home, but my thoughts wandered outside.


    It��s okay to click on the tablet to see what news there is in China. It��s afternoon here, and it��s early morning in China. It��s still relatively easy to get together. Seeing Wang Le''s avatar on the line, he sent a message: "Unlucky boy, things are going well recently?"


    Soon, Wang Le replied: "It''s okay, big things will be done in two days."


    Wang Le had been talking to him about this matter as early as May and June. Originally, he wanted to invite the "diplomat" to return to China to congratulate him. For this reason, Wang Le also held two shows at home and abroad, and because the families of the man and woman are very well-established, neither side can be stingy, which requires a little trouble. In the end, Wang Le refused to allow diplomats to enter the country.


    The reason is simple, the excitement in the country is enough, and Wang Le doesn''t have many friends in the United States, and there are only a few who can show the scene. An Feng is the most representative one. If he comes, it will definitely be a great face. After all, GP company is so famous now, who doesn''t know?


    An Feng typed: "Bless you all! And diplomats are not allowed to enter the country, you are really a blockbuster!"


    Wang Le returned a smiling face: "Tomorrow, I will brag about my ability at the banquet, and diplomats will give me face! Look at this face, international model!"


    An Feng smiled: "What about the other guys, are they all here?"


    "All the good ones in China were present, and a few of them also planned to fly to the United States on my chartered plane. Wu Chao and his wife used their annual leave to come here to enjoy the autumn breeze."


    An Feng asked: "Is it New York in the east?"


    "I''ve said it five times, okay! It''s the beginning of August in New York time, and it''s now counting down to dozens of days." Wang Le replied with a sweat, "I have to come over to have a lively bachelor party at that time. There is no atmosphere here in China. I will attend After a few times, those women have become **** and want to set up an archway! The casino is so cheerful, and if they become bitches, they will bring a work permit, warm and thoughtful service... hey, internationalization!"


    The first thing An Feng thought of was Roger, this guy is a great party god, please don''t be sorry for God''s gift.


    "Xiao Lezi, you should be more familiar with Roger Blueline?"


    "Invite him? Not bad!" Wang Le seemed familiar.


    "Be prepared to collapse, this guy is very good at playing." An Feng replied with a smile, "But New York is too far to fly to Las Vegas. I''ll see what he can do."


    He called and chatted with Roger for a while, and as expected, the guy agreed.

 Chapter 213： Atlantic City

    Chapter 213 Atlantic City


    Not long after I came back, the design of the racetrack was also completed.


    After paying a sum of 30 million yuan, it officially started construction. It has been revised more than a dozen times so far, changing the original style of a pure racecourse into a private racecourse today, taking into account both horse racing and polo fields. In addition, there is a large area A venue that can be used purely for horse racing entertainment.


    The area of ??a standard racetrack is actually not that big, and the land they bought is almost double the size, so the designer used all the available land without leaving any waste... A lot of time will be spent for summer vacation and leisure, An Feng Joanna was also found a governess.


    Of course, the tutor here refers to swordsmanship or etiquette. An Feng hired a swordsmanship teacher with a high salary. She used to be a professional female saber player. Two hours of special training for Joanna.


    Set up a kendo in the front yard and practiced on time every day. Joanna was keen on it, and because fencing helps shape beautiful legs, even her sister who came on vacation was also interested and asked Joanna for advice. Not to mention, after a few days, regardless of technique, the posture is quite impressive.


    After August, An Feng and Joanna flew to New York.


    This time the plane stopped at Long Island. Manhattan is obviously not the ideal place for rich people to live. After getting off the plane, he met Wang Le who came to pick him up. It��s been a long time since he met him. This guy��s face was full of red, and his body was slightly fatter. An Feng patted him : "Are you comfortable these days?"


    "Don''t mention it, I lost a few pounds!" Wang Le said to himself, "Marriage is really not an easy thing, especially when you have to deal with so many people."


    An Feng smiled, looking at the nonsense of Kung Fu... After getting in the car, he asked: "It won''t start until the day after tomorrow, how do you plan for these two days?"


    "Look at your opinions. Anyway, I don''t have many friends here, and I let my father-in-law''s family handle things. These days, I basically just bask in the sun when I am full, and occasionally go to the golf course with everyone. Rod, these days are too monotonous." Wang Le said while driving.


    "When it comes to playing, obviously Roger has the most ideas. He told me that if you don''t have a good plan this time, he will make the decision."


    Wang Le smiled: "This guy is full of destructive power."


    "Agreed." An Feng nodded.


    Back to the local resort hotel by car, met Wu Chao and Ji Min, and exchanged pleasantries, especially Wu Chao, who hugged so hard that his chest was ringing, and finally took a photo with scissors hands, An Feng wondered Rubbing his chest: "I haven''t seen you so enthusiastic before?"


    Wu Chao made a point: "It''s different now, you are a diplomat!"


    An Feng asked: "Everyone knows about this?"


    Wu Chao shrugged: "There are too many! In our group, the teachers and classmates almost understand it, and the screenshots of the news are still kept in the group photo album. You didn''t go to see it? You don''t know, everyone said you guy Niu, as the number three person to meet with the leader, we are almost overjoyed."


    An Feng said enjoyingly: "How can ordinary people understand the actions of a great man!"


    "Okay, good man, what are we going to do next?" Wang Le asked him, "This time besides you guys, Lisa has only dated three girls, not too many people, and the separation is too chaotic, so I plan to have men and women together, It''s just a big pre-wedding **** anyway, isn''t it?"


    "Where to play... You have to ask an expert." An Feng took out his mobile phone and made a video call with Roger, standing in front of everyone, and everyone greeted Roger.


    "Dude, we''re in Long Island now, what''s your plan?" An Feng asked.


    "Where is there anything fun on Long Island, the most is riding a horse like my brother, it''s too boring, come to Manhattan, I''ll take you crazy."


    "Manhattan is long gone." An Feng said.


    "Did I mention it''s Manhattan, buddy?" Roger laughed. "Come here, if you think it''s quicker for me to get to you."


    An Feng asked everyone for their opinions, and finally decided to drive to Manhattan.


    It was only a hundred kilometers away, and it took an hour and a half to arrive. Roger was waiting for them on the side of the road, looked at the parked SUVs, and frowned: "Oh! You don''t even look at the weather. Is the car going to survive the winter? Drive all the cars into the parking lot, and I''ll change it for you."


    Wang Le and Wu Chao drove down and stopped. An Feng chatted with Luo Jie on the top. An Feng asked him: "You are the only one this time? Where is Miranda?"


    "Her?" Roger smiled awkwardly, "This...we have had some conflicts recently."


    "No wonder you didn''t come." An Feng understood, and patted him on the shoulder, "Although I don''t know what it is, but find time to coax him, first admit your mistake, women are like this."


    "It depends on the situation, it''s a bit complicated this time." Roger said.


    Seeing his melancholy face, as if he had encountered a relationship crisis, An Feng wanted to ask a few more questions, but the venue was not suitable, so let''s talk about it later.


    Roger invited them upstairs to the luxury apartment on the twentieth floor. It is said that he used to live in it, and he lives in it now... After entertaining everyone to sit down, he made a few phone calls and came back and said to everyone: "According to the usual practice, I usually choose Las Vegas, but the traffic is inconvenient now."


    An Feng nodded: "Every time I go to Las Vegas, it''s pretty cool."


    Roger smiled: "Okay, this time we''re going to Atlantic City!"


    An Feng Khan: "Take back what you said earlier."


    Wang Le gave science popularization that he didn''t understand: "Atlantic City is also a major gambling city in the United States. In Chinatown of New York, there is a ''Fat Fortune Bus'' every day from New York to New Jersey. They also give away twenty-dollar chips, just like Las Vegas. You can gamble, watch undressing, and there are many tourists, especially Chinese gamblers.��


    Roger was triumphant: "Ten people are just right, let''s go to the dance together!"


    Those who are familiar with Roger have reason to believe that this dance will not be serious.


    About 30 minutes later, the car called by Roger came, and they went downstairs together, and three cars were parked by the side of the road, BMW 6 Series, Bentley Continental and Ford Mustang, the most obvious of which were convertibles, the rear seat Spacious, just enough for four people to travel in one car.


    Roger said: "This is a car I borrowed. You can choose whatever you like. You need a convertible for traveling. It seems that you are out of date!"


    "You are amazing!" An Feng said.


    He and Joanna chose the more comfortable Bentley rear seat, and let Wu Chao drive the car. This guy must experience driving a luxury car in the East. Wang Le drove that BMW, and took his wife and his wife for a tour. Roger is a stubborn guy, and he took three girls by himself. He just set off, and he made them tremble. An Feng glanced at the rearview mirror , heartless, no wonder the relationship is in crisis.


    The afternoon was sunny. A group of ten people and three convertible cars played music and went all the way to Atlantic City, which is more than 100 kilometers away. Everyone drank bottles and drinks on the way. An Feng took a group photo of Wu Chao, Ji Min and his wife in the car, then stood up from the seat, and took pictures of the two cars behind. vulgar people.


    Fortunately, it was a working day, and there were not many cars on the road, so it took nearly three hours to arrive in Atlantic City. It was evening, the sky was dark, and the night was less grand and luxurious than Las Vegas. Many places were far worse than the magnificent Las Vegas, but there was a unique tranquility.


    Each has its own strengths. Anyway, they found the Caesar Hotel in the local super casino, and stayed in the best suite. Usually, the hotels here are very cheap from Monday to Thursday, but as long as the weekend comes, it will be crazy Four or five times more, so this time the top suite is also considered affordable.


    After putting down their luggage��many people were empty-handed, so they brought their wallets and went to try their luck. When they checked in just now, they were given a few chips, not many, twenty-five dollars per person, but this was a bait that made some The gambler''s fluke psychology is infinitely magnified, and then he can''t stop.


    Together in front of the large slot machine gesticulating, Roger will host the game. I don��t know if it��s luck, but this time he won several games in a row.


    A few people had hundreds of dollars in chips, and they doubled it several times, and finally changed more than 3,000 dollars. I felt that the more they wanted to lose their money and go to dinner, the luckier they would be. Finally, Roger made a decision: "I won''t play anymore!" Is everyone interested in using the money to go to the dance?"


    "What dance?" Ji Min looked curious.


    An Feng and others who understood the meaning laughed, and Lisa raised her hand: "Ladies, go too! Supervise you, and we also want to see how lively it is!"


    Roger agreed: "Of course, this time it''s purely from the perspective of appreciation!"


    In the end, four men and six women went to a local strip bar to watch the undressing. The thousands of dollars that Roger won were obviously not enough, but there were more rich and powerful people present, and all the dollars won became 20 denominations The extras are all for swaying, and some bright cocktails are ordered. Amid the sound of music, steel pipes and **** are staged at the same time, and five professional dancers with strong bodies improvise.


    No matter men or women, after eating and drinking, everyone throws money on the stage. What brother throws is not money but loneliness. In the eyes of this group of dedicated children, the fragrant dance has become a tool for entertainment... In the end, Luo was a little drunk. Jie hugged the steel pipe on the stage and announced loudly: "You have completed the transformation!"


    Never drunk, the most energetic Roger was the first to fall down.


    Later, everyone called a car, and An Feng and Wang Le dragged Luo Jie up, and they returned together.


    Wang Le said in the car: "This guy seems to be preoccupied."


    An Feng nodded: "It''s a relationship problem. It was a little abnormal when I was in Manhattan. I will enlighten him later."


    Back at the hotel, each of them went back to their rooms to take a shower and rest. An Feng threw Roger on the sofa, poured a glass of ice water, took a sip himself, and then poured the water directly on Roger''s face. The guy suddenly opened his eyes. , staring angrily at the person in front of him, An Feng smiled and said, "How do you feel?"


    "It''s terrible!" Roger wiped his face, leaned on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling.


    "What''s going on?" An Feng asked him.


    Roger rubbed his head and said, "She said she doesn''t want to live this kind of life again. She has been with me on and off for five years, and now she just left."


    An Feng looked at him: "Five years? You can really delay the girl''s beautiful youth."


    "I know... I don''t know what''s going on, and I''m very reluctant to let her go." Roger said.


    "But you don''t want to part with the extravagant life outside, right?" An Feng said, he had seen through him a long time ago, this guy loves women.


    Roger nodded: "A little bit, she said we are all thirty, if we continue like this, we will miss a lot of things, I want to keep her, but I don''t have the confidence."


    "You''d better let her go." An Feng said slowly.


    "Why?" Roger looked at him.


    "Because a person who is willing to spend five years of youth waiting for you, pampering you, and allowing you to mess around, to be honest, you are not worth having at all!"

    ��


    Roger stared at him uncomfortably.


    An Feng said indifferently: "Don''t look at me like that, don''t you think she will have more five years for you? Everyone has the right to pursue happiness. Now that she sees it, she will find a more suitable and loving one." For her people, you should give blessings instead of complaining behind!"


    "No!" Roger shook his head seriously, "She definitely won''t, she loves me the most!"


    "Fart! Then why did she leave?" An Feng despised.


    Roger revealed his evidence: "I made a joke with her. She thought I proposed marriage and had already agreed, but it was actually a spoof..."


    An Feng scolded: "You deserve it! This kind of thing is also used as a joke? You are an incomprehensible piece of shit, and people will step on it on the road!"


    Roger''s expression was tangled, he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.


    An Feng kicked him: "If you really like her, hurry up and do something to remedy it, otherwise wait until she marries a man who is a million times worse than you, and endures his strange temper, alcoholism, domestic violence, drug abuse, eating too much and being lazy." ...You just have the heart to let her live this kind of life in the future?"


    "No, no! I won''t allow it!" Roger shook his head and got up from the sofa, but he couldn''t stand still and fell down. "Mobile phone, where''s my phone?"


    An Feng successfully provoked the drunk man, and took out his mobile phone: "Here it is!"


    Luo Jie took the phone and pressed it tremblingly. He couldn''t find the number for a long time. An Feng couldn''t see it, so he took his phone and looked through the address book. There were a lot of girls'' names and sweethearts. Big breasts, buttocks and other nicknames keep coming. I really don''t know if this guy is a blessing in his previous life, but there are women who are so willing to guard him... An Feng sighed, and he didn''t want to help him.


    "Help me, please! She''ll probably be back in France soon!" Roger looked at him beggingly.


    "Okay." An Feng found Miranda with keywords, dialed the number, and handed it to Roger.


    The guy held the phone to his ear and said incoherently as soon as the call came through: "Hey, Miranda! No, no, listen to me first, it''s my fault! It''s all my fault! I love you! I''m Seriously, I''m sure, I can''t live without you, I need you!"


    After hearing this, An Feng laughed unconscionably.


    Roger was talking in a long-winded manner, and the words did not match the words, but he said the truth after drinking. This guy said a lot of truth, some were good, some were speechless, and he seemed to be yelled at in the end , he handed the phone to An Feng and said, "She wants you to answer the phone."


    An Feng took the phone: "Hi, Miranda."


    "Is he crazy?" Miranda asked a little louder.


    "Huh?" An Feng laughed, "No, he just drank too much, a little drunk, told me about you, this guy regrets it now."


    "I don''t know if I should forgive him," Miranda said.


    "You love him, right?" An Feng asked.


    "Yes, I can also tolerate many things with him, including playing games with women, but he shouldn''t make fun of that kind of thing. I feel like a doll that can be thrown away after playing casually! I followed without complaint Is he only worth a joke for so many years?"


    An Feng listened to her complaints and acted as a peacemaker: "He was indeed a bit of a jerk, but now he knows he was wrong, and he cried in the car just now."


    There was silence for a while, and she asked, "Is he okay?"


    An Feng glanced at Roger who fell asleep on the carpet, and lied: "It''s okay, I kept saying your name."


    Roger was snoring in a good mood, An Feng kicked him a few times.


    Miranda didn''t speak, An Feng asked: "Are you sure you want to leave?"


    "I don''t know. I''ve already packed my luggage and bought a plane ticket back to Paris tomorrow." Miranda said.


    An Feng held down the microphone and kicked Roger''s **** again: "Get up! If you are not sober, she will leave tomorrow, so just cry in the future!"


    "No!" Luo Jie came to his senses, grabbed the phone, slapped himself twice, and said, "It''s me! Don''t go, I''ll go find you tonight, okay?"


    Not knowing what the other person said, Roger suddenly cheered and jumped around the room.


    Everyone heard the strange sound and came out to watch.


    "Is he crazy?" Many people think so.


    An Feng shrugged: "Who knows?"


    Roger ran over and hugged An Feng: "Thank you, buddy! You helped me a lot!"


    Then he rummaged on the table again: "Where are the car keys? Give me a car key, I want to go to New York before dawn!"


    "Please, driving now is like killing yourself!" An Feng lifted him up with one hand, and put him back on the sofa under everyone''s horrified eyes.


    He looked back: "Why are you so dazed?"


    Wang Le pointed to Roger who was on the sofa, and said, "Did you pick up this thing with one hand just now?"


    "Haha." An Feng scratched his head with a smile, "Maybe I usually exercise more. By the way, I will send this guy back to New York later and come back tomorrow."


    "Car keys!" Joanna handed him the Bentley keys.


    "Thank you, dear!" An Feng kissed her on the cheek, and stood on the table: "You guys rest tonight! And I����go to rescue a pair of lovers in crisis!"


    "You''re drunk too!" Joanna pointed out.


    "Give me an hour, just take a bath!" An Feng smiled, "Remember not to let this guy get the key, otherwise he will definitely be in the car accident news tomorrow!"


    Wang Le and Wu Chao said: "Leave it to us!"


    An Feng took a hot bath, and when he was almost recovered and not drunk, he changed his clothes and helped Roger go downstairs. It was after two o''clock in the evening, and the streets of Las Vegas were still lively and colorful. An Feng threw Roger into the passenger seat, got in the car and drove towards New York.


    Roger muttered addresses all the way.


    "I see! Shut up!" An Feng turned on the music in annoyance, covering his voice.


    Except for the sound, Roger was very restless. When the wind blew, he felt like throwing up. An Feng had no choice but to grab the steering wheel with one hand and stretch the other hand as far as possible to push his head out of the window. He vomited all over the car door, but it was better than vomiting in the car, otherwise he really couldn''t stay here.


    After driving for more than two hours, I came to the black New York. Unlike the lively and colorful Atlantic City at night, the silence here at night is a bit scary. There are all kinds of homeless people on the road, and vehicles are speeding past at high speeds. It feels like there are people in the streets and alleys plotting crimes.


    Cross Manhattan to Queens, drive to a hotel near JFK Airport, call Miranda: "Come on down, this guy is dying."


    Soon, Miranda trotted out wearing a coat. When Roger saw her, he got out of the car and hugged her, followed by a forced kiss. Miranda struggled for more than ten seconds before pushing the thing away, cursing Said: "Stay away from me! Look at your mouth full of alcohol, it''s disgusting!"


    Roger has sobered up a lot, and pulled her: "I just couldn''t control myself, I''m serious, it was my fault that day, but it wasn''t all a joke."


    "Really?" Miranda glared at him.


    "Of course!" Roger vowed, "I just... didn''t have the courage to try your tone, but I messed up in the end. I still want to say, I love you, I can''t live without you, just like you By the way, we are all in our thirties, and we are no longer young, so I am willing to����


    "No!" Miranda covered his mouth, "I want to wait until you are most awake!"


    "Okay." Roger turned back, looked at the messy car door, and said to An Feng: "Thank you buddy, if it weren''t for you, I would regret it all my life!"


    "It doesn''t matter, you just pay for the car wash!" An Feng said, "I still owe me the Presidential Suite''s comfortable big bed package for one night, plus a luxurious breakfast!"


    Roger smiled: "No problem, I will treat you this time!"


    ��


    Sometimes An Feng also feels that he is quite noble.


    Early in the morning, he drove two couples who were angry last night and were tired of being together in the morning. In the back seat, they hugged and kissed, and they didn''t feel the awkwardness before... An Feng looked at the rearview mirror, coughed a few times, and reminded: "Pay attention to the impact, there is a lot of time, don''t worry."


    Roger smiled and said: "Bruce, you are my lucky star! Love you!"


    "Disgusting!" An Feng vomited, "Remember you owe me a seafood meal that you bought overnight in the presidential suite! Oh! Tomorrow is Saturday, and people all over the country welcome the rise in prices!"


    "You really care, man!" Roger said with a smile.


    "I saved you." An Feng said.


    Miranda said seriously: "Thank you, Bruce, you are a good man!"


    "Oh! NO! NO! NO!" An Feng turned the car slightly, "I''m not a good person, I''m married!"


    They don''t understand what good people have to do with being married.


    An Feng explained Chinese customs to them all the way, from New York all the way to Atlantic City, the two guys finally understood the meaning of the good card.


    Miranda said: "The opening line of the breakup in the movie here, ''You are a good girl'' is the same."


    An Feng nodded: "That''s what it means."


    ��


    It was nine o''clock when we arrived at the hotel.


    Not long after everyone woke up, they enjoyed a seafood feast in a five-star hotel. A large piece of crab as big as a palm was bought according to the number of people �� 5. Other signature dishes were all delicious. Serving each plate, An Feng, who had been starved for a long time, ate heartily, thinking of eating poor Luo Jie.


    Roger didn''t care, he served good food casually, and please Miranda.


    After the meal, they walked together on the classic boardwalk in Atlantic City, with various shops on one side and the beach and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. It was built in New York, and here it is authentic.


    After walking for a while, I saw a lot of people basking in the sun on the beach, so I bought swimsuits nearby, went down together, brought some fruit juice and coconut milk, applied sunscreen, and lay quietly on the cushion, blowing the sea breeze And listening to the sound of the Atlantic waves can make people stay quietly for an afternoon.


    Wang Le next to him touched An Feng with his elbow: "Isn''t the love story exciting last night?"


    Wu Chao also leaned over his gossip head and listened.


    An Feng took a sip of the juice, and complained: "Stop talking, this **** was talking crazy all the way, and almost threw up a car, which made me drive with one hand the whole time..."


    After listening to An Feng''s complaints, Wang Le smiled: "Didn''t they accept a good person card afterwards!"


    "Pfft!" An Feng took a sip of juice, "Hundan! Don''t mention this to me!"


    Everyone laughed.


    An Feng changed the topic: "Don''t talk about this, your kid will get married tomorrow, what plans do you have in the future?"


    Wang Le scratched his head: "There are not many plans... and I have also taken the green card. I guess I will stay in the United States. We plan to save some money and buy a house by the sea."


    "You still need to save money?" An Feng took off his sunglasses and looked at him. Both of them were second-generation, and their families were very good. I heard that just for their marriage, Wang Le''s family gave the woman a bride price of 8.88 million according to the custom. It also provides a lot of assets, as well as their stocks, and there are many funds.


    Wang Le smiled: "Isn''t this a symbol!"


    An Feng said: "Why don''t you go to the west with me, we live close to each other, and I can take care of you in the future. Besides, you also have shares in the winery."


    Wang Le nodded: "I also have this plan, but she is still struggling because there are good houses in the east."


    "Show some masculinity, this matter is up to you!" An Feng patted him on the shoulder, "A man has to be like me. Whatever I say, my wife agrees!"


    "Really?" At least four suspicious voices sounded around.


    An Feng wiped off his sweat: "Can''t you symbolize it?"

 Chapter 215： NASCAR

    Chapter 215 NASCAR


    After dinner, everyone packed their equipment and returned.


    The bachelor party this time was very good. Without exception, Roger invited a large group of strippers to cheer them up, and even rented out the venue and threw money. Even Joanna, who has always been serious, took the change to have fun... The things behind were also very happy , Roger''s sincerity won Miranda''s forgiveness.


    As always, open the carport and go home with music on. Stopping and stopping on the road, the ladies also asked to stop and take pictures. It was a mess, and Wu Chao, who was walking in front of him, took the wrong road... It��s just that the highways in the United States are too complicated, and the street signs are hard to understand. Many novices have highway comprehensive Levy, a little afraid of the high speed of the American pen. They went around and found that there was a small town in front of them.


    Wu Chao was stunned: "Where''s New York?"


    An Feng smiled: "Wu Chao, you are not a good leader! You should quickly check the GPS!"


    Everyone was not in a hurry, booing took up most of the time, and then turned around, Roger said that he would take them on a small road, interspersed all the way, the road conditions in the east were more complicated than in the west, and they went around and around until night before returning to Manhattan, An Feng and Wu Chao and others lived here first, and Wang Le and his wife returned to Long Island.


    An Feng was free to play poker with Wu Chao and Luo Jie at night, and the three women who had nothing to do went to talk about what clothes to wear to attend... When the commotion was in full swing, a phone call came in, An Feng looked down at the number, it was The rider Duke I met last time at the Monterey Speedway.


    "Hey Duke?"


    "Bruce, how are you doing recently? Are you free to talk?" the other party said.


    "Of course, what''s the matter?" An Feng said.


    "Recently there is a NASCAR national race held at the most representative Indianapolis racetrack. I wonder if you are interested?"


    An Feng remembered that last time he said that he wanted to find a chance to see NASCAR, and it turned out that Duke was really enthusiastic. "About when?" he asked.


    "In the morning in three days, Indiana," Duke said.


    An Feng thought about it for a while, and agreed without any itinerary: "Okay, I will show up on time."


    Putting down the phone, An Feng asked everyone: "Are you interested in watching a race car?"


    "NASCAR?" Roger asked.


    "You understand too?" An Feng was surprised.


    He undoubtedly got Roger''s strong disdain: "Oh, come on! The most popular car race in the United States, the ratings are second only to football, and every game is televised live, don''t you think?"


    An Feng smiled awkwardly, but Wu Chao was also interested: "I want to go and see it. Last time I saw it on the TV in the hotel. It crashed into several cars. It was very exciting."


    An Feng was speechless: "You saw the racing car and you went there with the aim of crashing it?"


    Everyone laughed.


    An Feng continued: "The competition will be held three days later, and the plane will leave that day, with luxurious private cabins. If you want to go, hurry up and register with me."


    ��


    The next morning, the wedding of Wang Le and Lisa was held in the church on Long Island.


    The parents and friends of the two newcomers were all present, and the process was not lacking in excitement and grandeur. Since Lisa''s parents also have Chinese descent, the communication was smooth and no translation was needed. I also heard that the families of both parties are very good, and the masters are not short of money, so they are well-matched, which is considered a good thing.


    After the solemn swearing-in, there was a cold dinner party for both parties to get to know each other. An Feng didn''t do anything, but there were some people who knew him. After spreading the word in the circle, someone came over to say hello and chat about what happened last time. I''ve seen it somewhere... An Feng smiled, but who remembers it?


    An Feng had a lot of entertainment, and they went on and on until night. After all the ceremonies were over, they could finally lie down comfortably in the guest room specially reserved for them by the Li family, and sleep until dawn. During the day, I chatted with Wang Le about some plans. He planned to travel around after marriage, North America or Europe.


    An Feng poured some truth into him: "Take it easy, life is long, be careful of kidney deficiency, we will go fishing together when we have time in the future!"


    "Hun Dan, do you think I look like you?" Wang Le said contemptuously, touching his biceps, "Only these two pieces of meat can catch sharks without any problem!"


    "Just wait for your words, see you next time!" An Feng punched him and hugged.


    ��


    Early the next morning, the plane rushed to Indiana, more than 1,000 kilometers away.


    After arriving, I waited at the airport for a while. Duke arrived as scheduled. An Feng was responsible for introducing several friends to each other. Duke counted the heads, took out his mobile phone and called an MPV, and packed everyone away at once. On the way, he said that he is one of the sponsors of the team, and it is very convenient to get in and out.


    The airport is not far from the race track, and it takes about ten minutes to arrive. But Duke didn''t intend to stop. He drove directly into the arena and parked in a special area, and the sponsors received good treatment. After getting off the car, Duke asked: "There is still some time before the game, shall we visit the museum?"


    Everyone agrees that there is no need to worry about not being able to find a seat when there are big people who are familiar with the road anyway��but when they finally enter the auditorium, they know that they have to find their own seat among the 200,000 people. Even if they know the direction, it is not so easy thing.


    On the way, Duke popularized science by the way: "The track in Indianapolis is mixed, and the oval part mainly hosts NASCAR and Indy 500 events; the complex one has hosted many F1 American races before, but F1 is in It is not popular in the United States, and it has been canceled in the last two years."


    "In addition to the oval track, this track can also be diverted, adding a large number of curves and straights to make it meet the standards of European racing cars. The total area is about 350 acres. The track can accommodate 250,000 spectators. If there is a grand For events, it can be expanded to 400,000."


    Comparing An Feng with his own racing track, he found that 2,300 acres is a bit too big compared to 350 acres...but it was built according to the standards of European racing tracks, plus a lot of auxiliary facilities, and the total length of the F1 track here 4.2 kilometers, Anfeng is expected to be more than 5.5, and there are also tracks that can conduct quarter-mile, half-mile and one-mile straight-line acceleration races.


    If you think about it, you will understand. Maybe when the F1 World Grand Prix is ??held next time, your own racing track should also apply, and it should be easy to get the right to host it. After all, there are not many racing tracks designed for F1 high-speed racing in the United States. is a somewhat silly oval track.


    Came to the racing museum while talking and laughing.


    "F1?" Wang Le looked at the front row of cars that looked like Formula One.


    Duke said with a smile: "No, although they are similar, these cars are all used in Indycar racing, and they are still different from F1."


    An Feng asked: "Is the Indycar race also an oval track?"


    Duke shook his head: "It''s not quite right, but Indy 500 is like this, and in IndyCar, the oval track only takes up about one-third."


    An Feng admired the racing cars displayed in the museum at close range, not only modern cars, but also some old-fashioned ones. The classic cars were also very competitive in those days. The V12 engine in the 1960s could easily reach more than 220 kilometers. He even discovered that Buy a rare, 1886 "Mercedes"!


    But at that time, the brand of "Mercedes" had not yet been established. This should be a carriage designed by Karl Benz and transformed into a three-wheeled vehicle, which is very antique. An Feng stood aside to take a photo with it, leaving behind a vulgar scissorhand... Everyone also took pictures with the fetish.


    After the tour, Duke took them into the arena with half an hour before the game started.


    The auditorium is full of car fans. There are auditoriums on both sides of the oval track. Looking at the past, they are all colorful and dazzling. The race has not yet started, and nearly 200,000 spectators, based on their terrifying base, are presenting to the best race in the United States. An intuitive way to announce the grand occasion of this event!


    After looking for a seat for a long time, everyone finally sat down.


    In this kind of sunny weather, it is obviously best to stay under the awning. Duke chose a very good location. There are both male and female car fans around. Like the ladies in Anfeng��s business, they are the simplest hot pants plus A cool T-shirt, or a more enthusiastic upper body bikini.


    Duke grabbed a handful of things in his hand and sent them to the ladies one by one: "Be careful to wear earplugs, otherwise you can''t bear the sound!"


    Men also need earplugs, but before the race starts, they need to listen to the sounds of the cars and feel the sound waves of the cars... There are about forty cars participating in the race, the main models are Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Toyota Camry, Ford Thunderbird and Pontiac.


    But that doesn''t matter because all cars look the same and perform the same.


    Duke is in charge of science popularization: "The national race is the second largest race under NASCAR. Compared with the highest-level Sprint Cup, its horsepower is a little smaller. It uses a small-displacement 5.8-liter engine with a maximum horsepower of 650-700. About horsepower, and the highest level has more than 860 horsepower."


    Duke pointed to a few cars on the field: "Did you see those two cars in front? Joe Gibbs Motorsports! They are all sponsored by my family. Don''t look at the few advertising spaces on the car and there are other businesses. But with so many viewers and so many TV broadcasts, it''s a very powerful advertisement."


    As all the vehicles were ready, the roar of the first round of the engine rang out, making everyone without earplugs frown. This sound is not comparable to ordinary street supercars. What is a racing car? It''s a bunch of crazy mechanics wrecking the engine for maximum performance.


    So don��t even think about what kind of muffler will be installed in its exhaust pipe, don��t think about it at all, the most primitive engine roar comes out, when the car is running at high speed, it will reach about 130 decibels, which is comparable to the loud noise of a cannonball , close listening, enough to deafen the ears!


    The start started under the crazy sound waves, and most people had already put on earplugs. All the cars accelerated along the oval track. Compared with other races, because of the simplicity of the track, NASCAR has a very high frequency of overtaking. Maybe that''s the way to get the adrenaline pumping in the audience.


    When the leading car passed by on the first lap, An Feng and the others who didn''t wear earplugs couldn''t bear it anymore. The sound was too loud, much worse than his usual shooting without earplugs, and he felt unprotected two or three times. , The ears will be buzzing for the next few hours.


    It is much easier to put on the earplugs, although the sound is still very strong, but it is within the acceptable range, watching the cars constantly sprinting and overtaking, although some F1 drivers describe this as: a lap on an oval track Run around stupidly. But it actually looks like fun.


    The enthusiasm of the audience alone is enough to prove it, but what about the tens of millions of viewers behind the TV station?


    An Feng watched the racing cars and their sponsor advertisements keep scanning in front of him, and suddenly came up with an idea: GP Energy might also be able to advertise. Although it is well-known enough, the advertisements for sponsoring racing cars can reflect more high-tech connotations.


    GP Energy can completely print its own logo on these racing cars, let the audience watching the race understand, and can prepare for their future development of higher-performance batteries��such as racing batteries. Now that the batteries are so strong, the racing cars are not necessarily It burns oil, right?


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 216： racing sponsorship

    Chapter 216 Racing Sponsorship


    Considering that GP Energy''s battery and "car" are closely related, and that Tesla''s market was first opened in the United States, and NASCAR is a car race with great influence in the United States, and a GP is printed on a team. The energy symbol is indeed a good means of publicity.


    In addition, he has a plan. After the super battery is born, cars will be gradually replaced by electric cars, so racing cars will definitely not lag behind, and electric cars will not be inferior to cars. Their energy efficiency is about 3 times higher than cars. It means that the power of the motor can be made higher.


    Take Tesla as an example, the motor can easily reach more than 12,000 rpm, and the highest speed of an ordinary sports car is 8,000 rpm, and the high speed of a racing car is used to squeeze horsepower and improve energy efficiency. Electric motors have inherent advantages in this regard, as long as they need sufficient energy, their performance fully meets the needs of racing cars.


    It is not difficult for GP Energy to manufacture a battery suitable for racing cars. The only thing is that the technology of electric vehicle motors has just started. With the advent of the energy age, plans are being adjusted one after another.


    An Feng''s idea is to let GP Energy promote it in car races first, and when the time is right, he can provide batteries for racing cars, or when he has enough financial resources, he can buy car brands by himself and hold the world''s first formal electric car race. A very good idea.


    Just when he was thinking wildly, the sound was accompanied by the pungent gasoline smell. A red racing car rushed past the audience, trying to overtake at the end of the straight. The audience''s eyes were all on the front and rear cars. When he was about to overtake, the front of the car tilted. Maybe it was because of the inside overtaking that he couldn''t control the accelerator, or some other accident, the front of the red racing car hit the rear of the car in front.


    This is prone to accidents. When An Feng first came to the United States, he used a Ferrari to hit the rear of a drag racing party''s car and successfully overturned the other party''s car. It seems to touch lightly, but the actual speed has reached 150 kilometers.


    The result is crazy rollovers plus rear-end and crashes! The situation took a turn for the worse in a few seconds. The hit car flipped a few times and fell off the track. The car behind it couldn''t brake in time. It hit the red car in front and collided with other cars.


    The field commanders waved the yellow flag quickly. The yellow flag waved back and forth indicates that there are obstacles on the track. At this time, all vehicles must slow down and overtaking is not allowed. There was a four-vehicle collision in front, and the most serious one was pushed to the rear, flipped and fell off the track.


    It flipped out of the track, and the shell immediately turned into countless pieces. The front of the car was filled with smoke, and a faint fire appeared. The broken car revealed a strong roll cage. The racer ran out unharmed!


    The heart that was almost in my throat let it go back. The racing car is different from ordinary cars. It looks like it will break when touched. A layman thinks it is very fragile��it is not. Taking the most common carbon fiber as an example, when it exceeds the bearing limit, it will quickly undergo shattering fractures to consume the energy generated during impact.


    The debris absorbs the impact energy, but it will not be transmitted to the driver. Instead, it is an ordinary vehicle. After a high-speed impact, the car is not damaged much, but the people inside may be injured by the energy... So Ferrari, Lamborghini and other super sports cars are fragile, It''s not that it''s of poor quality, but that it protects the driver.


    The four cars that collided were damaged to varying degrees, and the track was full of debris, but the four drivers were fine. After taking off their helmets, they smiled and waved to the audience. The audience also burst into warm applause, cheering for the drivers. applaud. Then clean up the **** on the track, take back the yellow flag, and the race continues.


    After such a car accident, the drivers behind were more careful, but there were still many wonderful overtakings inside and outside. Amid the strong smell of gasoline and the shouts of the audience, An Feng and his group were also infected. Together with Duke, cheer for the two leading Joe Gibbs cars.


    After the complete race, a car from the Joe Gibbs team surpassed the second-placed JR team and became the driver champion of this station! Duke stood up, waving the Joe Gibbs team flag in his hand, as if he had won the championship.


    After the game, Duke was in a particularly good mood and took everyone to a local hotel for dinner.


    An Feng chatted with him about the team sponsor.


    Duke asked, "You mean, you can get GP Energy to sponsor NASCAR?"


    An Feng nodded: "It shouldn''t be too difficult. After all, I also have some shares, and recently GP Energy has been trying to expand its influence through super batteries. The sponsorship or agency of racing cars should be a good choice to show your strength. In this regard, you Any suggestions?"


    "If you think it''s okay, I naturally recommend the Joe Gibbs team!" Duke said without hesitation.


    But this team is really good. The annual team in the national competition is second only to the JR team, but the race is only halfway through. NASCAR''s national competition will continue until November, and the final outcome is still undecided. According to An Feng''s thinking, the first choice is naturally these star teams.


    "You are so enthusiastic, you should have some shares?" An Feng guessed with a smile.


    Duke nodded: "Of course."


    "Not bad!" An Feng said, "Isn''t the Gibbs team''s advertising quota all over?"


    "No, this year is already full, but next year there will be two sponsors withdrawing for other reasons, so the team is planning to find other sponsors."


    Speaking of this, Duke is proud: "To tell you the truth, whether it is in the Sprint Cup or in the national competition, the performance of the Joe Gibbs team is at the top level. GP Energy can compete with The effect of sponsored advertisements for merchants connected by cars is absolutely great!"


    An Feng said with a smile: "I recommend you to talk to the marketing department of GP Energy."


    "That''s none of my business." Duke shook his head, "I just love this team, but I''m not its manager. I can only recommend it to you."


    Naturally, Anfeng does not need to pay for the sponsorship. It is the company''s task. Go back and talk to the company''s marketing department or talk directly to the CEO. It would be good to give some sponsorship money every year... Anfeng and Duke asked for the team''s money. The boss''s contact details, have time for GP Energy to talk to them.


    After the meal, Duke also invited An Feng to participate in the NASCAR National Grand Prix in Iowa next Saturday, but An Feng refused because the time schedule was not enough... To be honest, NASCAR is not the type of race he likes, he I feel that running an elliptical without any change is still not exciting enough.


    A true test of skill would have to be something like Monterey''s Laguna Seca.


    Or the super-luxury racetrack that he himself is building. The 2,300 acres are equivalent to 6.5 Indianapolis racetracks. It must be very domineering after it is completed. In the future, apply to host F1, or start a national electric racing competition with your own money, for nothing else, just like this when playing cars!


    Saying goodbye to Duke, they wandered around Indianapolis.


    Unlike Los Angeles and New York, Indianapolis is very ordinary, and even because of the history of development, it looks a bit dilapidated, which is completely inconsistent with the large cities in the United States. The city is full of tall buildings, the traffic is developed and smooth, and the streets They are all depictions of beauties like clouds.


    As far as An Feng sees, in fact, many so-called "big cities" in the United States are dilapidated and backward compared with China''s emerging cities, with narrow highways and some in disrepair, let alone urban public transportation. In ordinary cities, there is basically a trip every two hours, but it is on time.


    After walking around, seeing that everyone was not very interested, An Feng said, "Do you two have any plans for the holiday?"


    It can be said that Wu Chao and Ji Min are full of sincerity. They have put down their domestic work, and Wang Le has been touched for a long time. I heard that Wu Chao has been promoted to department manager, and things can be arranged for his subordinates, so this time he got eight days off. Plus with spare cash in hand, Wang Le reimbursed the air ticket...


    "Go to the beach!" Ji Min answered first.


    An Feng smiled: "How about a lady?"


    Wu Chao asked: "What good places do you have?"


    An Feng stroked his hair: "You know that I am rich and handsome. Today I can be in the United States, and tomorrow I can go to Europe. Do you want to go with me to Miami to bask in the sun?"


    Ji Min said: "Sunshine beach and bikinis?"


    "Of course! You can ask my wife." An Feng turned his head.


    Joanna smiled: "Coastal villas and private beaches, crystal clear shallow water area, you can swim for an afternoon, and then go back to the shore to drink coconut juice."


    "Oh, I like this!" Wu Chao shouted, and came to hug An Feng''s thigh: "Brother, you are my own brother! Take me to enjoy it?"


    An Feng smiled: "Well, for the sake of your initiative."


    "Do you want to call Wang Le?" Ji Min said.


    An Feng was puzzled: "Are they on their honeymoon?"


    "It''s not the same as going on vacation! And wouldn''t it be better to have so many friends to accompany you?" Wu Chao said, taking out his cell phone, "Let me talk to him on the phone."


    After saying a few words, Wu Chao gestured OK and said, "Coincidentally, they also plan to go south to Florida, and they will definitely come."


    An Feng looked up at the scorching sun above his head, and said, "Okay, let''s go there in the afternoon, so as not to sweat in the sun here!"


    Life needs an instant trip...with a business jet, flying to Florida is not a problem at all.


    ��


    One day later, Sunny Beach and Mansion Bikini meet.


    Four men and four women can just play a game of volleyball on the private beach. When you are tired, you can lie down under the palm tree, or like the ladies, jump into the jacuzzi and enjoy a quiet and undisturbed holiday ...As for the men from An Feng, they went out to sea with surfboards.


    Everyone is not familiar with surfing, but fortunately, the surrounding area is a private territory, there are no outsiders, and you are not afraid of embarrassment. After drinking a few mouthfuls of seawater, you really mastered the technique of surfing on your stomach! It takes some evolution to stand up, but they have plenty of time, sooner or later.

 Chapter 217： custom exoskeleton

    Chapter 217 Custom Exoskeleton


    While on vacation, Jim of Ocean Shipping began to recruit people. As a developed capitalist country, the market for professional managers in the United States is huge, and it is easy to choose satisfactory ones. After doing it according to An Feng��s intention, he will be notified to come. When it comes to high-level people, he still has to make up his mind.


    An Feng put down the phone, didn''t change his clothes, just got into the car in casual clothes and flip flops, opened the hood and walked along this avenue surrounded by palm trees, crossed the inner bay from the bridge, and went south to the central area of ??Miami , The stylish sports car shape makes passers-by frequently look sideways.


    Regardless of performance or comfort, just in terms of appearance, Manniu is indeed a magic weapon... An Feng parked the car in the office building very coolly, stepped on slippers and walked into the lobby on the first floor without hesitation, in a group of well-dressed Among the rigorous white-collar office workers, he is particularly conspicuous.


    The main office of the shipping company is on the cruise ship, so the location of the company is not extravagant. It only rents the 15th floor of an office building. However, in a company with only a dozen people, almost one person and one independent office are still available. ��until now the number has increased a bit.


    Jim''s work is still reliable. It''s not easy to recruit so many people in a short time. He also understands An Feng''s psychology and personality, and knows that he should talk less and do more, and let go of small things. Only big things need to be asked... In the office, An Feng and Jim sat face to face.


    Jim gave him several documents: "Mr. An, after my screening, this group of professional managers has relatively rich experience, and most of them have engaged in tourism or shipping-related occupations, so they can get familiar with the positions faster and do not need additional Please take a look at the adaptation time."


    An Feng flipped over, and Jim added appropriately: "Everyone on the list will have a retest in half an hour."


    He stayed and participated in the interview as the boss, accompanied by three interviewers. The process was similar to the one he applied for back then, but now he changed his identity. After several rounds of interviews, he saw a few good ones. stay. Anyway, the company is short of people and there are many positions.


    After finding a head for Ocean Shipping, An Feng''s role was switched to that of an investor.


    Going back to enjoy a day off with friends, An Feng gave them the land, and returned to California with Joanna first. Anyway, the villa has Wu Qian as the housekeeper, so she knows what to do. There was something else in the rush to get back to California, and Hoffman, who had gone to England, was back.


    An Feng met with Hoffman and listened to his report on the progress of the work there. Basically, it is very simple for a British machine company to develop a power assist system, but the model of a robot company is copied from the past, and the key lies in the equipment. A few days ago, Hope Goodrich in England also mentioned it.


    After finishing the unimportant things, Hoffman came: "Mr. An, our exoskeleton plan?"


    An Feng knew that the three sentences of this product are inseparable from robots and exoskeletons, and he was ready before coming: "Continue to manufacture the second-generation exoskeletons, but please order the parts of the power assist system from a British machine company. Chips are ordered from GP, and we are only responsible for the assembly of the structure.��


    Hoffman said: "No problem, and it will be faster."


    After all, everyone understands the manufacturing process, and there is no need for several people to repeat a process to waste time. Doing it separately can improve efficiency. At present, after the British machinery company has received nearly four million dollars in investment, the purchased machines and raw materials are already in place. , ready to produce.


    An Feng added: "Your task is not easy. We currently have an order from a company to manufacture a standard version of the exoskeleton for them as a sample. In addition, you also need to manufacture several additional sets of customized exoskeletons. The data will come in a day later."


    Long ago, An Feng and Gu Li talked about exoskeletons.


    After the robot company was stolen, the exoskeleton was almost in a semi-public state. People in the industry knew that this company was developing these technologies, but they didn''t know the progress and effect. Now that the road has been paved, it doesn��t matter if these exoskeletons are exposed, it��s just a technical promotion.


    Raytheon will surely make the exoskeleton available sooner if it buys these samples. With the temperament of Americans, they will not give up this opportunity to show off in a low-key manner, so when other countries are jealous or nervous, An Feng, a kind man It is easy to get gratitude and favor.


    The only consideration is not to let outsiders know that he sent it.


    Then he got in touch with Guli.


    Guri said: "I chose three guys who can''t talk nonsense for you. Americans who are not cunning are hard to find, but there are still some."


    An Feng said with a smile: "Tomorrow, please bring the volunteers you selected, and we will officially start work."


    ��


    A helicopter is parked on the grounds of the robot company.


    Four people came down, and An Feng knew them all, the first Guli, Harry and Jack who were dispatched together by the diplomats, and Mars, the team leader who showed bravery in chasing the exoskeleton last time. After the four got off the plane, they followed Gu Li and walked towards Anfeng. An Feng and Gu Li shook hands and hugged.


    "Come on, you guys go to measure the body data first." An Feng didn''t talk nonsense, the measuring equipment has been prepared in the laboratory, and the precise data of their bodies will be measured, including the length of the fingers, how many millimeters longer the **** is than the ring finger, etc. Wait, the current exoskeleton is still mainly customized.


    Guri said: "Can''t we expand the range, just like wearing clothes, tall people can wear them well, and short people can still wear them?"


    An Feng said: "There is such an idea, but it still needs to be perfected. The future will be like this. Although the special customization is perfect and appropriate, it is a waste of time."


    Guli measured his height for the staff, and it showed 1.95 meters. This guy��s size and aggressive appearance have always given people a lot of pressure, and more materials will be used on him, but it is worth the money. An Feng also wants to test Take a look at the performance of the exoskeleton in actual work.


    After the detailed measurement for the four of them, everyone saw that the general counsel and the boss had a relaxed chat, and the three of them also expressed their curiosity about how strong the exoskeleton is. After all, they had such a big battle last time to pursue Stolen items, everyone knows it is extremely important.


    Facing their questions, An Feng called Hoffman over.


    Wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and holding a tablet, the tall and thin Hoffman stood in front of these strong men, like a little white rabbit facing a big bad wolf.


    An Feng asked: "How many times can he walk under your hands?"


    The four people looked at each other, although they remained serious, there was still some contempt in their eyes. Mars said, "Sorry, Mr. An, can we not answer?"


    An Feng smiled and said, "Is it vulnerable?"


    None of the four people made a move. You say nod. Although it is true, he is the chief technician and cannot be offended. If you don��t nod, it��s against your will. I��m sorry for myself... An Feng saw their expressions in his eyes and said : "Perhaps the four of you together may not be as good as him."


    "What?" Mars said this time.


    "Let the facts prove it." An Feng called other technicians over. He was holding a black box in his hand and opened it on the table. Inside was a set of red-painted exoskeleton. In a word, you cannot understand the world of scientists.


    "Hoffman, please!" An Feng said.


    Hoffman took off his glasses and walked over to skillfully put on his red-painted exoskeleton. An Feng reminded the four of them: "You better use some protective gear."


    But all four of them shook their heads, obviously thinking that even with a few irons on their bodies, they would not become much stronger.


    Three minutes later, the thicker Hoffman stood in front of them.


    An Feng asked: "Who will go first? Or together?"


    "I''ll come first!" Mars stood up carelessly, pinched his knuckles, "As long as he is put on the ground, I will be considered victorious, right?"


    An Feng nodded: "Of course!"


    "Okay!" This fellow Mars is also very aggressive. After finishing his sentence, he rushed towards Hoffman, trying to lift him up and put him on the ground like an eagle catching a chicken. When he touched Hoffman, he was grabbed by the shoulder first, and the strength was not small!


    Mars gritted his teeth, and raised his right hand reflexively, trying to hold down the opponent''s hand with the fighting technique he learned in the army, and at the same time turned around and threw him over his shoulder��his steps were correct, and his movements were crisp, which would have been earlier for ordinary people. It fell down, but when he turned around and hugged Hoffman''s arm, he felt nothing changed... It was like hugging a piece of steel standing in cement, trying to bend it, but there was no way to continue.


    But the well-trained Mars will not give up easily. When his body was already tilted, he swept out a kick and kicked Hoffman''s calf, trying to trip him first��but this time it was the same. Kicking on the metal exoskeleton, the opponent just moved a step.


    Following Mars, he was pushed to the ground by a clumsy move.


    He was lying on the ground, staring blankly at Hoffman who had just pushed him down with both hands and strength, and couldn''t believe it all.


    An Feng went over to pull him up and asked, "How is it? Do you feel powerless?"


    "It''s very powerful." Mars nodded and said, "If you fight like this, I can''t do anything about him."


    An Feng understands the implication, no matter whether it is fighting or fighting, no one will do this now. If it is true, Mars can use the ultimate move in the first round. Kicking the crotch or inserting eyes is a good choice. Take out the saber and hit the opponent''s heart a few times to end the battle.


    But they are not fools. The exoskeleton has such strong strength and speed for a weak otaku. If they wear it, doesn''t it mean that the combat effectiveness will be doubled? Having figured this out, Gu Li and the others applauded: "Good thing, I think I understand its power!"


    Mars looked enviously at the set of exoskeletons on Hoffman: "Look at its small size, I''m afraid it''s not just for commandos, it can be used by armored soldiers, airports or aircraft carrier ground crews, and even in many positions that require endurance and load. They are all capable of one against two..."


    An Feng said: "There are even more powerful ones, you will only know after using them yourself."

 Chapter 218： Discovered!

    Chapter 218 Discovered!


    After several twists and turns, Anfeng''s exoskeleton development continued. The current focus is on the second-generation exoskeleton, and going forward, An Feng does not want to try more advanced and more lethal machines until the confidentiality conditions are not sufficient, or the US official attitude is not clear.


    He has found that the leak of secrets is too troublesome. No matter where the core technology is transferred or what vest is used, he feels that it is difficult to handle it perfectly. If stronger technology is leaked again, I guess I just want to cover it up, and the US government will not agree, after all, it involves national security.


    He also stopped by to see the company building under construction. The construction site has been surrounded on all sides, and there are machines laying the foundation. According to the construction speed of the Americans, it will be put into operation in one year. An Feng should pay a little more money. Simultaneous implementation of all aspects can also be faster.


    ��


    In the scorching summer, An Feng hid in the shade to play computer and read information online.


    Recently, GP will make another big move. The new architecture of chip technology has passed the test and inspection, and it is confirmed that it can be mass-produced. The compatibility of the latest set of concept products is very good. As long as the interfaces match, it can be perfectly backward compatible. This technology is the most lethal.


    Accordingly, the subsidiary GP Electronics was established.


    Eve��s report shows that the subsidiary is the same as GP Energy, which shocked the world before, with a total of 100 million shares, 52% of which are subscribed by the promoters, and the rest is raised from the society. Some people say that GP company no longer needs to go public to raise funds, and its momentum has increased dozens of times, which is comparable to many large listed companies.


    Indeed, GP has definitely been the most shocking high-tech company in the world in the past few years. First, the super battery that changed the world, and then the graphene chip that broke through the tradition. Someone once compared them to Microsoft, but now it seems that its future Bigger than Microsoft. The media got information from a public speech by Benjamin Hawley that GP will develop all graphene-related products.


    Also because of this information disclosed, some people portrayed GP as a huge enterprise preparing to build a graphene empire, and some people believed that this was the re-emergence of American technology, and some believed that the US government stood behind it... People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong , there will always be gossip.


    Just a few days before the company''s plan was established, An Feng flew to Austin.


    As the shareholder with the largest right to speak, a crucial vote must be cast. Although it is more symbolic at the moment, he basically does not care about it... The plane arrived at the headquarters of GP, and the land area has recently been expanded by three times. Planning to build a science and technology exhibition hall?


    This has the spirit of a big company. When he arrived, An Feng saw several Discovery news cars, so he asked Eve, who came to pick him up, "This is it?"


    Eve replied with a smile: "This is an exclusive interview with the Discovery Channel. It is mainly to understand the company''s R&D department and our battery and chip technology."


    "The recent advertising and marketing is very good." An Feng said.


    Eve said: "Everyone is very active. Mr. Hawley recently prepared a TED talk to let everyone have a deeper understanding of GP''s important task of building the future."


    "Building the future? I like this slogan!" An Feng said, "construction" rather than "change", the former''s self-confidence is obviously stronger.


    Eve wrote it down and asked, "We just use it as the company slogan?"


    "Go and collect everyone''s opinions first." An Feng said. He walked into the currently shabby company building and took the elevator with a significantly increased number of employees, but these new employees didn''t know him, but they knew Eve very well, and she was a secretary who had the right to speak.


    The elevator was relatively crowded, and Eve turned to him sideways and said, "Mr. An, the company''s new building is expected to be put into use by the end of the year."


    "Very good." An Feng smiled, "Do you have my office?"


    "Mr. Hawley has prepared the area with the best view for you." Eve smiled.


    Everyone got a key message from a few words��this is the legend of the company, a technology boss who only exists in legends.


    Before they came back to their senses, the elevator arrived. An Feng walked out, followed by his assistant.


    The employees who came back to their senses exploded in the elevator.


    ��


    An Feng just listened to some reports and chatted with Holly.


    Then he did what he is best at, and talked about the follow-up development issues with several technical executives who came to his office. At present, both batteries and chips are in their infancy, which is equivalent to discovering a virgin land, but they have just set foot on it. There are still many places to be reclaimed.


    Among other things, An Feng promises that as long as he is still there, he will always be ahead in technology. Everyone is acquaintances, and has formed a blind worship of An Feng, and attaches great importance to his ideas. In addition, graphene also brings some composite materials and nanoelectronic technologies. The technology below 10 nanometers has great advantages in nanoelectronics. It can even cooperate with robot companies to deepen in the field of nanorobots.


    If things go well, there will be three main forces changing the future: GP companies, research centers, and industrial companies in preparation. The three-pronged approach covers several major aspects such as biology, electronics, and industry, and these are important directions for future development.


    ��


    After that, he flew to the hunting grounds in Reno County by the way.


    The climate in Texas is hot in August, and the whole land is enjoying the power of the sun''s radiation. Even An Feng, who is flying the plane, can feel the scorching heat. After getting off the plane, he wants to jump into the river for a swim, but he holds back . He walked into the gun shop, which had been enlarged and improved.


    Now there are ten guys in uniform in the gun shop, with a wide range of long and short guns. Mike''s role has become a purely management CEO. He makes some plans every day, especially the first grand design feast coming in December. Feng gave him a budget of three million U.S. dollars, which was abundant.


    "Mike, how are you?" An Feng greeted Mike and gave them a big hug. Don''t look at this guy who is in his fifties. I no longer dare to underestimate the Texas cowboys, they are tough.


    "Very good, I''ve been looking forward to your coming this morning, I have a lot of plans!" Mike said.


    An Feng had a headache: "You know I don''t care about these things, and there are too many things recently, my mind is already at idle."


    "Hahaha!" Mike laughed, "Don''t be like this, things like money have to be settled carefully, come and listen to me."


    An Feng had to listen to Mike''s plan, and lost his mind frequently on the way.


    The last information I got was that through several gun associations and foundations, Mike spent money to promote it, letting many people know that in addition to Oklahoma, Texas is also planning to hold a lively shooting feast, and It is held when everyone is on vacation.


    This can get a lot of support. There are many gun advocates in Texas. Almost every household has a gun. They like this kind of scene of violent catharsis. Even if they can��t play, the on-site experience is good, and there are even guns. Manufacturers want to provide some advertising sponsorship and take the opportunity to promote their brands.


    An Feng was also bold: "I am very relieved of your work. As long as you make the scene lively and let everyone have a good time, other things can be discussed."


    "It''s fine with your words." Mike said.


    ��


    There are still a few days before the registration of GP Electronics. An Feng is not in a hurry to fly around, so he stays in the hunting ground and cares about his own property. Thirty thousand acres of land is quite spacious. There are hundreds of thousands or even millions of acres of large landowners in the United States, but that is not a piece of land.


    An Feng feels that it is fun to play on one piece of land.


    Lawrence, the manager of the ranch, suggested buying more cattle and sheep. Although it is defined as a hunting ground, I am afraid that no rich man��s hunting ground covers such a large area, and even many areas have been left unused... After hearing these opinions, An Feng originally had plans, so It hit it off.


    How much money can be made from animal husbandry is second to none, the key is to be effective... After the treatment, when the weather is no longer so hot in the afternoon, An Feng wants to drive around and inspect his hunting grounds. Lawrence originally suggested not to travel alone, but when An Feng drove the HMMWV out.


    Lawrence looked at the machine gun and shrugged. "Well, good luck!"


    The longest part of the hunting ground is 20 kilometers. The land along the way is not flat. Even if you drive fast, it will take you 20 minutes. If you drive slowly, it will take more than half an hour. An Feng has nothing else to do, so he drives slowly to patrol Once again, cross the bridge and crush the obstacles along the way.


    After leaving the lush hunting ground, I entered an endless woodland. Lawrence''s reminder echoed in my mind. This area has been idle for a long time, sparsely populated, and there are often ferocious beasts, such as brown bears, coyotes, or some cats...Ann Feng wanted to see and see.


    Although HMMWV can''t withstand the hail of bullets, he doesn''t have to worry about beasts other than elephants and rhinos.


    Bumping forward, it took thirty minutes to drive to the edge of the hunting ground. Living in the coastal areas, I can��t feel the vast land and sparse population of the United States. Now I feel very obvious in Texas. I drove all the way, and some sections of the road were still driving along the highway. I couldn��t see a single person, only some animals.


    An Feng stopped at the border, got out of the car and took a few photos of his "territory". Seeing that it was getting dark, he drove back. For the sake of fun, he didn''t take the road, but took a wild road, shaking and bumping through the wasteland and woods, and there was silence except for the sound of the engine.


    Suddenly, he vaguely heard several beast roars.


    An Feng slowed down the speed of the car, discerning...it seems to be true! He turned off the engine, climbed to the machine gunner''s position, and poked his head out to listen. About a minute later, a few thick, cat-like roars shook the air, not far away in the woods to the northeast.


    An Feng returned to the driver''s seat, started the car and decided to go find out.


    If he was driving a small car, he would definitely not be so bold, but now it is a bulletproof military vehicle with a heavy machine gun, even the elephant will be smashed to pieces.


    Speeding up and driving over the weeds, after driving about a hundred meters, he saw bloodstains on the ground, An Feng followed the bloodstains and drove slowly...following a roar, his pupils shrank, and there was a yellow-brown dog more than ten meters away, all over the place. The striped white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes is staring at him.


    An Feng stopped the car and observed carefully.


    The tiger was obviously injured, its blood was all over the road, and the wound was on the hind abdomen close to the leg. The wounds that fierce beasts fight cannot produce such effects. Most of them are bullets. Thinking of the sporadic gunshots I heard just now, maybe It was wild beasts that shot the rancher or the hunter.


    The brown-yellow tiger seemed unable to walk anymore. It stared at the car in front of it, and roared a few times from time to time, trying to scare An Feng away. He took out his mobile phone and called Lawrence. Cowboys have experience in dealing with such things. After telling his location, he put down the phone and his eyes lit up!


    There is a little tiger!


    No wonder the tiger is so nervous, it turns out he is protecting the calf!

    (692 votes)


    ��


    Although the big tiger seems to be dying and dying, but when you face a big guy with a length of more than two meters and a weight of nearly 200 kilograms in the wild, it is better not to have the courage to rush to compete like Wu Erlang . This guy can knock down an adult with a single slap.


    An Feng climbed to the position of the machine gunner, and carefully took pictures of the injured tigress with his mobile phone��An Feng deduced. The back abdomen of the tigress was bleeding continuously. This shot was very deadly, but it was the strength of maternal love to be able to carry a cub so far and still protect it.


    Looking at the little tiger, it is not too big, like a big tabby cat, hiding behind the tigress coweringly, but its cute big eyes show the fear of the unknown. The tigress stared at An Feng tiredly. The excessive blood loss caused it to blink from time to time, fighting against exhaustion.


    An Feng''s sympathy overflowed for a while, but he didn''t have medical supplies in his hands, so he rushed forward to touch the tigress protecting the calf, which was simply asking for his own death.


    He could only pray that Lawrence would come over soon.


    Time passed by every minute and every second, and the roar of the tigress gradually weakened. She was still staring at him with her forelimbs upright, but now she was lying on the ground, unwillingly fighting against the **** of death. The haze of death shrouded his head, and even the little tiger felt the desolation.


    There was the sound of a car in the distance, An Feng returned to the driver''s seat, slammed the accelerator a few times, and the roar spread, and the Chevrolet pickup truck he found approached. Lawrence and a cowboy from the ranch came with a rifle and a medical first aid kit. Feng shouted to them: "It can''t move anymore!"


    "understood!"


    Lawrence and the young cowboy came with guns, and slowly approached the looming yellow-brown tiger in the green grass. Their fingers were already on the trigger, and they could shoot at any time in case of accident... After about a few seconds, they leaned against the Humvee, and Lawrence observed Said: "It''s dying!"


    An Feng got out of the car with a pistol and asked, "Then what should I do? Can it be saved?"


    Lawrence shook his head: "We don''t have an anesthesia gun, and the wound was shot with a shotgun. There is so much blood, it''s basically impossible to save it."


    While speaking, the tigress closed her eyes several times in a row, then opened her eyes with force, and let out a low growl, as if warning, and as if she was telling her cub to leave... Repeat this several times Finally, it finally lowered its head powerlessly, and closed its eyes unwillingly.


    "Dead?" An Feng asked.


    "Probably." Lawrence stared, "I heard that a Bengal tiger was abandoned a while ago, and the government even issued a notice to the ranch. Maybe it was it."


    An Feng asked: "Abandoned? Is it still raised in captivity?"


    Lawrence smiled: "You may not know that there are no more than 3,000 wild tigers in the world, but there are more than 15,000 in captivity in the United States. Zoos are facing the problem of excess tigers, and many people like to raise these beasts. But when it grows up, it may be abandoned by some owners due to reasons such as food intake or personality, and then wander around."


    An Feng was amazed when he heard that, Nima wild tigers are only at the beginning of 3,000, and you have 15,000 in the United States, which is against the sky! No wonder I saw in the news that how many tigers were bred by some families in the United States. They don��t show off their power, but can be cute, and they are completely raised as big cats. I didn��t expect this to be the reason.


    Lawrence tentatively took a few steps forward and observed the tigress: "What a beautiful tiger! It has yellow-brown fur, at least 2.5 meters in length, and weighs as much as two adults. There is no deformity, and the cub is also good. , but just wandering in the wilderness like this, either die in the mouth of wild wolves or starve to death!"


    An Feng looked at the little tiger like a big cat, and felt compassion: "Can''t you feed it?"


    Lawrence glanced at him and smiled: "If you know how much food this guy will eat when he grows up, you can understand the psychology of abandoning their owners. There are too many tigers in the zoo now. To a certain extent, they are selling tigers Reduce the burden, let alone adopt a cub!"


    An Feng stared at the beautiful little tiger: "I want to try."


    Lawrence pointed out: "Just go to the Wildlife Administration to make a record, get an adoption certificate at the animal center, and after a simple study, you can raise this beast. But I have to remind you, it was cute when it was young, and it will grow up If you release it, it will not have any ability to survive in the wild jungle, and its only fate may be the same as its mother."


    "It''s okay, I''ll take care of it." An Feng now only has the cute little tiger in his eyes, so why would he want so much.


    "Okay, let''s go up and have a look!" Lawrence threw a few stones at the tigress, and after confirming that there was really no movement, he stepped forward carefully with a gun.


    It was the first time for An Feng to get close to a tiger, and he was very excited. He reached out to touch the tiger, and the fur felt very good. No wonder everyone likes tiger leather chairs, which are stylish and comfortable...Look again Little tiger, it is not very alert to danger, and will not leave when people come.


    "Come on, little guy!" Lawrence put the gun behind his back, reached out and grabbed the little tiger by the back of the neck, and lifted it up like a kitten.


    "Haha, it really looks like a cat!" An Feng smiled, grabbed his neck and pulled it up. The little tiger opened its limbs, stared around, and trembled slightly.


    "Give me a hug!" An Feng said.


    "Be careful, it will bite!" Lawrence handed the tiger to him. An Feng imitated him and grabbed the piece of skin on the back of his neck. The little tiger didn''t resist and let him hold him in his arms. Be careful, although it looks like a cat, it already has some teeth, and it will hurt if bitten.


    But the little tiger behaved well. Apart from being nervous in An Feng''s arms, he was very docile. An Feng gently stroked the fur on its body and scratched the hair on its head to relieve its tension. After a while, the little tiger He stopped resisting and let him hold her in his arms.


    "Quick, quick! Take a picture of me!" An Feng handed the phone in his pocket to Lawrence, and stepped back to let him take a group photo.


    An Feng looked at the photo, then touched the little tiger: "It''s so interesting! What should we do next?"


    Lawrence looked around and said: "It''s getting late, take this tiger back first, and then call the Wildlife Management Bureau. If you want to adopt a cub, tell them tomorrow. Usually, you will take it back for testing. Vaccinations and filings and things like that.��


    "Okay, let''s get to work first!" An Feng put the cub back into the car, and followed Lawrence and the cowboy to carry the tigress onto the pickup truck.


    Not to mention, if it weren''t for An Feng''s amazing strength, the three of them would have struggled.


    Back at the wooden house, An Feng asked Lawrence about some precautions, such as what it should eat now. Lawrence observed it and said: "It is estimated to be about two months old. It should be fine if it is fed with some milk properly. As long as there is enough food , Tigers have a strong ability to survive.��


    An Feng didn''t care about his own food, so he found some milk happily, put it in a bottle and fed it to this guy, at first the little tiger with a small mouth could only suck, but when An Feng fell down, it was choked and dripped all over the floor. Later, he learned how to behave, found a basin, poured it on it for the little tiger to lick, and then put a piece of roasted beef in front of it, almost instinctively, the little tiger opened his mouth and rushed over to eat it.


    "Wait! This is my dinner!" An Feng held up the meat and refused to give it. Lawrence, who had placed the tigress'' carcass, saw this scene and said with a smile: "I suggest that tigers in this period should not feed it a whole piece The meat you want to feed is chopped or cooked and softened.��


    "Roast beef should be softer, right?" An Feng tore off a small strip, and carefully handed one end to the tiger. For the rest of the beef, the little eyes are full of yearning for beautiful things.


    "I''ll eat it all for you!" An Feng patted the tiger''s head, avoided its claws, continued to feed it, and then patted it again to take advantage.


    Repeat it several times, and when you touch it again, the little tiger already knows that this is good. It no longer avoids it, but wants to come up to rub his hand.


    "It seems that this guy is very hungry." An Feng fed it another piece of beef.


    Lawrence sat on the sofa beside him, smoking a cigarette: "Be careful not to overfeed, young animals don''t have a clear understanding of their own food intake."


    After playing with the little tiger, An Feng thought that since he wanted to adopt it, he should give it a domineering name. Seeing that he was full, he huddled in the corner of the table like a tabby cat with black and yellow stripes. There is still a little white, so he took the name "Xiaobai". He hugged the little tiger and called Xiaobai a few times, regardless of whether it agreed or not.


    After An Feng finished his dinner, he checked some information on the Internet. From this point of view, Americans really have a strong affection for tigers. Tigers are raised in almost every state in the United States. Among them, more than a dozen states have no regulations at all, and others are different. Rules vary from state to county, and even from city to city.


    As far as the number of captive-bred tigers in the United States is concerned, it is indeed more than five times higher than the number of wild tigers in the world. Many tigers that dominate the mountains and forests have lost their hunting instincts, and only have the time to eat and drink, such as being cute or Lai Yangyang. I don''t know whether to call it lucky or unlucky...


    An Feng took a few photos of Xiaobai and posted them on the Internet together with a group photo of himself. Soon, domestic netizens who followed his news replied: Tuhao, this is your new toy? It''s an acquaintance. As soon as An Feng replied, someone left a message: Where are the missiles that the local tyrants talked about?


    An Feng didn''t know whether to laugh or cry, so he also sent some pictures to Joanna.


    Soon, she called: "Is that a cat?"


    "Is the tiger okay?" An Feng said proudly, "I just found it, it''s very cute."


    "Really? I saw the photos, especially the one rubbing against someone, it''s so cute! I really want to touch it!"


    An Feng said: "I named it ''Xiaobai''. It''s a poor little guy who just lost his mother. Are you sure you want to adopt it?"


    "Of course, what happened to its mother?" Joanna''s sympathy was overflowing.


    An Feng explained: "I shot the hunter, and I almost died when I rushed over. There is only one cub left, and it will die if no one raises it."


    "You have to take care of it!" Joanna said.


    An Feng said: "Don''t worry, I will take it back to California after the procedures here are completed."


    Joanna reminded him: "It seems that this beast has different management methods in different states, and some states cannot be brought in from the outside."


    An Feng said: "It doesn''t matter. I will find someone to deal with it. At most, I will pay a little more money, or I can buy two identities. There will be no problem with adoption."


    "Well, I''m really looking forward to it, the kids will be so happy!"

 Chapter 220： benefit mankind

    Chapter 220 Benefiting mankind


    After that, An Feng had to deal with the formalities for the little tiger in California.


    Although a state in the United States is often compared to a province in China, the status of the state is very special. It is more like a country. Except for having no diplomatic power and the right to declare war, the governor has more power than senior officials, and anyone who is familiar with the United States knows that , each state and each region has its own laws, not necessarily selling the federal face.


    There are also many regulations on the management of large pets. Texas and California are different. After An Feng consulted with the governor''s secretary, he got a definite answer, which is equivalent to obtaining the support of the governor. Easily register the little tiger''s file.


    The news that An Feng raised a cute little tiger spread like wildfire.


    As a result, the bear children flocked to see this "big cat" with their own eyes and up close. After a few days of human baptism, Xiaobai has been able to calmly face rubbing, hugging, pinching, scratching, etc. Movement, if it doesn''t hurt it, it will be naughty once in a while.


    After having a cute animal, the house became more lively, with endless laughter and laughter. Lian Anfeng, the official owner, wanted to pet Xiaobai, but had to wait in line for a while... Fortunately, every time it was time to eat, he was looking forward to Anfeng Arrived, specifically looking for him, and finally gave him some comfort, this guy was not in vain.


    Follow him and plan biological transformation. Induced gene mutations are not uncommon. In addition to the process of embryo formation, mutations can also be induced by various influences, such as cancer cells. So it''s kind of bad and good, and even humans face a bunch of potential mutations.


    One day at work, he received a call from a stranger.


    An Feng had just answered the call when the other party said, "Is that Mr. An?"


    "it''s me."


    "I''m Brian, director of RM, we met last year at the sports car auction in Italy."


    "Oh...it''s you, this time there are good things again?" An Feng asked with a smile. He is quite interested in collecting cars.


    "That''s right, the Pebble Beach Auto Show will be held in Monterey on the 18th of this month, and it will bring a number of heavyweight auction items, including Lamborghini Reventon, Sixth Element (Sesto-Elemento), and Pagani Zonda-R All models will participate in the auction, are you interested?"


    "This is really good news!" An Feng was very happy. As far as he knows, heavyweight sports car collections are rarely auctioned, and are usually privately traded.


    Brian said: "Then I will reserve a place for you, sir?"


    "Okay, let''s do this, and I will attend on time." An Feng said.


    After saying goodbye to Brian, An Feng typed a few times on the computer in front of him, and looked at the preview of this year''s Pebble Beach Auto Show. An Feng likes Zonda-R very much.


    Although they are not legendary, who can tell in the future? After browsing the content of the auto show, An Feng had a whim, and contacted the person in charge of the exhibition venue, chatted with him, and expressed his willingness to send his private collection to the exhibition, two generations of McLaren flagships, two generations of Ferrari flagships .


    Although the news is a little late, but the model is excellent, the other party gave a positive answer, saying that they will give enough booths, but An Feng needs to pay the venue fee, 10,000 US dollars means maintenance of the green grass under his feet... An Feng is very concerned about this The sum of money didn''t even frown.


    After hanging up the phone, I felt a little flustered. In the past, I was yearning to attend the auto show, wanting to witness those rare sports cars, but now I send the cars to the exhibition by myself. They are not ordinary models, they are all limited and have legendary blood good stuff.


    ��


    Two days later, An Feng took Xiongzi''s family and his wife to Los Angeles, but the purpose was different. Anfeng needed to do some business, and the others went to play, and Xiongzi wanted to go south to San Diego to see the underwater world... An Feng was forced to go Research center, conduct some biological experiments.


    The key steps were recorded in the laboratory, and the whole plan was conceived several times. In order to ensure safety, the scoring steps were modified, and different doses were applied according to different periods. Inducing mutations will be a slow process, which may take about 3 to 5 months. , conducive to healthy development.


    According to the current translation progress of the machine brain, as long as he tries it a few times on mice and rabbits, it is basically a sure thing... In fact, the method is not only for tigers, it can induce mutations for other animals that are not as complex as humans. For example, it is not difficult to strengthen a horse''s sports genes, possess stronger qualities, and after scientific training, dominate the arena.


    Proper use of genetic technology will be amazing. An Feng glanced at the progress by the way, and was still stuck before 50%. The answer is very close, but he just can��t see it, which makes people itch. I thought about it myself, and finally got a false alarm.


    After he injured his brain cells, he went to drop by when he was bored.


    Case��s research team is making steady progress. It is said that they can produce results before Christmas. An Feng praised their patience and speed. In the final analysis, Ken''s perseverance in testing again and again is also an important part of affecting research and development.


    Another department, which was silent, surprised An Feng.


    Anfeng has planned the research and development of health-preserving medicines, and is currently working on the first step: the external assistance of chemical medicines. At the beginning, he was just arranging things and theories. The data were stored in the server according to the authority level, and they read them according to their needs. An Feng didn''t provide much help at the time.


    But they passed all the way and got to the present. Looking at the progress, it is estimated that there will be results in a month... An Feng chatted with the research and development team specially. The cost of the drug is high, but the effect is obvious. Possess resistance to viruses.


    It looks like a jelly, it doesn''t look good, it doesn''t taste good, it works well, but it needs long-term verification - so it''s not very competitive. An Feng went back to the office and thought about it. It is not cost-effective to sell drugs, the cost is high, and it is easy to be copied.


    Naturally, it has to add some confusing means. It is silly to apply for a patent for all of them, but for a part of the application, the other essential ingredients are kept secret, which invisibly increases the difficulty of copying. Several patents lie ahead.


    Thinking about the future, it is not necessarily a drug. Drugs have to pass strict FDA testing, and they cannot be popularized by all age groups. Children must have trouble buying drugs. If it is a prescription drug, it is impossible to start without a doctor''s certificate... so it is best to adapt to all groups of people.


    "Drink?" An Feng thought of this step.


    It can dilute the medicine, make up its color, aroma, and taste in drinks, and promote it to the world. It tastes good and can strengthen the body and prolong life. It can also be divided into grades, such as functional drinks with ordinary effects and biological drinks with higher concentration.


    Of course, energy drinks still have to deal with the FDA, but they are not medicines after all.


    The research and development team has yet to establish the final form of the drug. An Feng has already thought of how to make money from drinks that taste good and have physical bonuses in the future... This time it is not only about money, but also the lofty purpose of benefiting mankind. Clearly, it''s worth a shot on both counts.


    But its effect is weak. It will not be as immediate as graphene, and it will not be brought back to life like anticancer drugs. Its change will take a long time. It may take three to five months to feel the difference, but it will really affect the human body. One or two years or even longer.


    Its short-term competitiveness is very weak, until everyone who insists on drinking finds that there is no pain in the back, no pain in the legs, and no breath when climbing fifty floors in one breath... After this strange phenomenon, they will cause a frenzy.


    The means of promotion is naturally advertising, which is definitely a very important part. It can create some celebrity effects, or global publicity like Pepsi, or simply name and sponsor sports events... As long as the effect is good, it is not afraid that it will not sell!


    Calculated in this way, the profit is not high, but it can be made after all. The money is a little less, but there is no lofty purpose of benefiting mankind?


    From this aspect, An Feng''s mentality began to change a bit.


    Actually...he''s not that lofty yet. Since its effect is very strong, the difference between those who drink and those who don''t drink is obvious after one or two years, which means that people all over the world will be inseparable from it. Even if only 30% of the huge market of six to seven billion people can consume it, there is still Two billion people.


    Those involving health are the most ferocious monopoly. You can use counterfeit mobile phones, old-fashioned computers, and ride bicycles to work, but no one wants to pay attention to the body or replace it with old models... The reason is obvious, only certain marketing methods are needed to conquer the world.


    Thinking to the end, he dreamed that he was surrounded by money printing machines.


    It''s a pity that I messed around, but found that only one-sided money can be printed...Woke up from the dream, and I took a moment. How can there be a money printing machine that prints only one side? But the idea is indeed a good idea. In terms of effect, you can promote the strong ones first, and then popularize the weak ones after gaining word of mouth, so that more people can consume them.


    Even what he can think of, those marketing elites, don''t they know?


    So he checked the progress again and gave some guidance.


    After Joseph Hart, the director of the research center, asked for an interview, An Feng asked his assistant Julie to arrange a time to sit with him in the staff canteen to eat, drink and chat, as a way of showing closeness to the people. The staff cafeteria is necessary, as too many researchers habitually forget to eat and drink.


    Joseph made a comment: "Mr. An, I think the company''s name can be changed appropriately."


    "Why?" An Feng asked.


    "Because the field we are involved in is no longer limited to medicine, in order to increase our reputation, we can change it to a wider range of ''biology'', and we will reveal the plan in some interviews to pave the way for future technology promotion and let more people Man can accept our nature."


    An Feng''s eyes lit up, Joseph''s brain was still useful. He nodded: "Very good! Next time, let''s take advantage of the popularity of cancer drugs and promote medical research��no, it''s a biology research center! Let the public know about our plan, a blueprint for the benefit of mankind!"


    Joseph agrees: "That''s the idea, make the most of the resources."


    "You are right about this, I agree!" An Feng said, as the boss, his agreement means unanimous approval.


    Since then, it has been changed to "Jean and Tima Center for Biological Research."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 221： take it all away

    Chapter 221 Take it all away


    The research center has two research and development directions.


    They are cancer drugs and biological beverages. It is difficult to distinguish the market size of these two, but according to Anfeng��s estimation, the latter should have great potential in the long run. First, cancer drugs are only aimed at patients and the price is high; while beverages are relatively low in price. , applicable to almost all groups of people.


    After returning to the vineyard, he came up with a lot of ideas. Beverage companies can be said to be the trend of the future. In order to make its taste more acceptable to the public, different flavors can be considered. Anyway, these added drugs are rarely repulsive, and they are omnipotent. Type, it is no problem to put it in the pot to cook.


    Going around to the back, the most important thing is the taste of the drink.


    An Feng thought about it for a few days, and there was no good solution, but if he really thought that his "a few days" were very long, he would be very wrong, it was only ten minutes, and then the brat came to tease him, little tiger Come to rub against him, my wife will come and get bored with him... and ride horses with everyone, one day will pass.


    He summed it up as a way of thinking of "making progress while making steady progress", with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness and beauty... Finally, the day of the Pebble Beach Auto Show is ushered in. The flagship models provided by Anfeng this time are Ferrari''s The F50 and ENZO, as well as McLaren''s F1 and P1, are heavyweights.


    But he does not participate in the activities on the first and second days, but only goes to the exhibition on the third and fourth days.


    On the morning of the third day, the professional tow truck hired by An Feng arrived and carefully transported away the sports cars worth more than ten million dollars. An Feng''s family was dispatched together, and the bright red convertible California was the first choice for travel. Joanna handed out sunglasses to everyone and set off noisily.


    Due to the fact that Xiaoyu is not old enough to sit in the passenger seat, the brother-in-law can only drive a four-seater car. There are many sports cars in Anfeng, but all of them are two-seaters, but there are no four-seaters... Slowly driving along the California highway, I came to Monterey with the sea breeze, and the auto show was under preparation.


    The Pebble Beach Auto Show is different from some international auto shows. It is open-air and has a relatively free style. The exhibitors can be both manufacturers and private individuals. There are almost no car models. They are usually placed on the lawn and displayed at will, more like a huge event. The car fan event, the commercial atmosphere is not strong.


    The theme of the Pebble Beach Auto Show is classic cars... But in recent years, the exhibition has not only been a stage for classic cars, modern sports cars, and future concept cars have all been unveiled. It is said to be a classic car show, but you can see a group of concept cars there. Taking a few steps back, An Feng''s McLaren F1 is also getting old.


    So he sent the four flagship sports cars, and originally planned to send the Porsche 918, but unfortunately there are not enough booths, and some are not connected together, so the 918 can only wait for the next appearance��maybe next time It should be in the exhibition hall at Anfeng Motor Speedway.


    ��


    The weather in California is still sunny and the sky is clear. Xiaobai, who is held in Joanna''s arms, is the first time to experience a convertible car. From time to time, he raises his head and looks at the surrounding scenery. The move also made Joanna laugh constantly.


    After everyone arrived, they entered along the road built by the golf course. Joanna was wearing a plain dress and a round-brimmed hat, holding An Feng''s arm, and walking the "big cat" with a rope in the other hand. The little tiger is very eye-catching, and everywhere he passes is star-level treatment aimed at the camera.


    The feeling of hanging out with his wife with his arms around him is very chic. With sunglasses stuck on his nose, An Feng leisurely accompanies him to the auto show. The auto show lasts for 5 days. The first day is the opening ceremony, and all models will be unveiled. The next day is the highlight of the classic car parade.


    The convoy will pass through forests, cliffs, lakesides and other historically significant places. It will depart in the morning and arrive at noon. They will travel about 17 miles. If you can successfully reach the finish line, you will be allowed to participate in the classic car competition. But some people just drive classic cars out to show off.


    The first and second days mainly depend on personal preferences. An Feng originally wanted to go, but he didn��t have a classic car, and his family only wanted to participate in the open-air exhibition, so they only came on the third day. After entering the arena with the riders, follow the icon sent by John to the vicinity of the exhibition area and meet the assistant John Adams.


    Naturally, the exhibition also requires a certain amount of manpower management. It is impossible for An Feng to guard his car, and the assistant is the first choice. Recently, John has nothing to do, so arrange some work for him. An Feng also pretends to keep him away In the office, come and do some outdoor activities, basking in the sun to adjust your body and mind.


    An Feng greeted him: "John, why are you still dressed so formally?"


    John''s unchanging suit and shirt, like some of the staff around him, is a bit too serious. He listened to what An Feng said, and said with a smile: "Professional habits, and I will be responsible for explaining it later. If someone takes a group photo, I will do it more formally..."


    "Haha, whatever you want, please be more casual, go shopping, drink a glass of champagne, don''t stay here all the time!" An Feng said to him.


    John smiled: "I will, sir!"


    An Feng nodded, John took a few glances at Xiaobai, and said, "The pet is very cute, is it a tiger?"


    "That''s right!" An Feng bowed his head, Xiaobai was about to bite the introduction card erected in front of him, he pulled it back and warned it: "Little boy, be careful!"


    "Wow! It''s so cute!"


    While An Feng was "repairing" the little tiger, a girl''s voice came from beside him. When he looked up, several big ponies stared at Xiaobai with strange expressions.


    They said: "Sir, can we take a photo together?"


    "No problem." An Feng hugged Xiaobai, and three good-looking horses automatically surrounded him, and took a few selfies, envious of others.


    Of course, An Feng is still very disciplined, after all, his wife is watching...


    "May I touch it?" They asked unsatisfactorily.


    "Of course." An Feng smiled, "Maybe you guys hug it?"


    "Yeah! This is the best!" They said expectantly, An Feng put Xiao Bai into their arms, and said: "Be careful, it is not light."


    Xiao Bai got into the arms of the beauty, and turned his head restlessly. This paw accidentally reached out to the girl''s chest, which made the beauty laugh again and again. It still looks cute and innocent. An Feng was speechless when he saw it, but luckily it was a tigress, otherwise it must have been called a **** embryo.


    Let the little tiger and the girls fight for a while, the driver drove Anfeng''s four sports cars to the exhibition area, parked them on the grass, and put a chain around them to prevent accidental scratches. From the time the sports car entered the arena, there were photographers who were constantly taking pictures and framing the scene, and the four flagships were still very attractive.


    He stands by and enjoys the attention��cars and pets, actually.


    Later, simply put the little tiger on the front cover of the sports car and act as a model! An Feng put his arms around Joanna and watched from the side. The little star was very cooperative with the camera, and the click sounded continuously, and then asked Xiaoyu to hold the tiger in front of the car to pose for a photo. The little girl and the cute tiger softened the voices of the passing ladies.


    ��


    There are many highlights of the exhibition. An Feng also paid attention to the auction of classic cars, but they are all very common models, and there are not enough highlights to attract him. There are no classic cars from Ferrari. He plans to collect a set of 250 series , if the price is right, it will be a solid investment.


    In the afternoon, he met Howard who came to the exhibition.


    "Hi, Howard, why didn''t I see your rare car today?" An Feng said.


    "I won''t participate this time, I''m purely here to participate in the classic car auction." Howard said with a smile.


    "Me too, but my goal is a modern sports car. There will be an auction for several weight models at three o''clock in the afternoon. Are you not interested?"


    Howard said: "Yes, there are, but this time there are too many competitors, the price is estimated to be high, and it is obvious that you are one of them, isn''t it? By the way, I saw your show car just now, all four cars Very good, I really envy you who can collect so many treasures!"


    An Feng greeted him for a while, and the time came to three o''clock.


    They walked into the venue together. Due to the dramatic increase in the excitement of the Pebble Beach Auto Show in recent years, the original classic car auction has added an extra link, becoming the auction of classic cars in the front and modern cars in the back, and RM, Sotheby''s and other industries. With the participation of the leader, there are many heavyweight auction items.


    Originally, I heard rumors about Ford GT40 racing cars, but in the end it was confirmed that there were no rumors. Otherwise, An Feng would also participate in the auction of classic cars and set a record of tens of millions of dollars... This time he only valued two Lamborghinis. The first one is The Reventon convertible model, the production of "Reventon" is extremely rare, it adopts a full carbon fiber design, and its shape is inspired by the F22 fighter jet. It is a sports car that can instantly kill men and women.


    The other "sixth element", to be honest, does not have many highlights, but the number is small, and they are all track versions. For Lamborghini, which is not very good at racing, it is not outstanding. That is, its rarity is worthy of collection, otherwise An Feng would skip it, because the starting price is 2.8 million US dollars.


    The third car is also a racing car, Pagani''s Zonda-R, which set a record of 6 minutes and 47 seconds on the N��rburgring Nordschleife. Few scored 6 points. But such a comparison is meaningless, because R is a racing car, and Ferraris are mass-produced cars.


    An Feng bought it mainly to see if he could beat Laguna Seca''s record. Maybe he could break 1 minute and 30 seconds, but it''s rare and has a high appreciation potential, so it''s worth buying. . Although the prices of the cars he bought over the years are high, there is considerable room for appreciation.


    He promises to keep these cars for a few more years, and they will definitely make money if they are auctioned off.


    So in the auction of the first Zonda-R, An Feng showed other bidders what it means to be ruthless, and directly bought it for 2.5 million US dollars. According to its starting price of 2 million, the collector has now made a lot of money . The next Ravington was also won by him for $2.3 million.


    Because of this ferocity, when The Sixth Element started shooting, everyone looked at him in unison. After bidding interest, others dropped off.


    Originally, the price could be soaring very high, but because of this scene, the sixth element was auctioned for 3 million US dollars, which counted as earning the money of an ordinary Ferrari��but definitely not much. Therefore, An Feng became the biggest harvester in this auction, 7.8 million plus a certain amount of taxes and fees, all of which were taken away.

 Chapter 222： Redeem

    Chapter 222 Redemption


    After photographing these collections, An Feng realized one thing when he went back: the garage was not enough. Apparently, Vineyard''s garage can only hold up to five cars, and currently his pickup is out in the open, and there are a few more in San Rafael, but adding three more now obviously has nowhere to put them.


    But he can''t let his collections be exposed to the wind and rain outside, saving land but not preserving value. After arriving home, An Feng found a construction company and asked them to send someone to build a temporary garage. Naturally, these cars will not be kept for too long. When the racing track is completed, the vehicles that are not commonly used can be properly kept.


    Just like the two racing cars this time, it cannot be legally used on the road, but can only be driven on the track, so it is definitely not commonly used... In the final analysis, this is also a kind of happy trouble. I got up the next day to clean the car, tried to start it, and the sound was very loud, looking forward to their performance on the track.


    When An Feng was cleaning the car, the little tiger ran into the yard and quarreled with the two hounds that came out one after the other. It was rare to see it have a chance to escape from the embrace of humans. Since it was adopted, it has become a different animal. A pet that worries about food and drink, and it has almost adapted to the role of being touched by everyone.


    Now this scene is in line with the nature of the tiger! Xiao Bai regarded the two much larger hounds as his opponents, stooped forward and quietly stepped forward, under the watchful eyes of the hounds, leaped out, wrapped his paws around his legs, and opened his mouth to bite. The hound has a good temper and doesn''t get angry, so he plays with it cooperatively.


    The hound was honored to play a cameo role as a tigress, playing with it on the lawn and biting each other. Although Xiaobai was defeated, he tried to attack again and again and never tired of it. It grinned at the two hounds, Pippi tilted his head to stare at it, stretched out a paw and patted it on the head, Xiaobai was held down all the time, if he couldn''t do it later, he would play a rogue, turn his head to bite Pippi''s paw, Unfortunately, the action is not sensitive enough.


    It''s so funny, Xiaobai tried his best to treat the two hounds as opponents, but they treated him like a funny tiger skin toy, rolling on the grass, lying on the ground staring at it, occasionally jumping up, opening their mouths to bite it, Xiaobai blocked it with his paws, or flexibly moved around behind his back.


    An Feng leaned on the car and watched. If Xiaobai grows up to be as smart as a hunting dog, able to hunt and show cuteness, and even watch the house at critical moments, he will definitely be the most special pet tiger in the world��even the most complete pet tiger. able tiger. An Feng is now putting his ideas into practice.


    Biological research is not difficult for An Feng, but it is very difficult for the world��the process of exploration. An Feng is blessed by nature, the exploration process has been skipped, he only needs to follow the steps to configure the liquid medicine, choose the way to activate the mutation, set the dosage according to Xiaobai''s body size, and so on.


    Even without going to Los Angeles, there is his laboratory in the sundry room of the vineyard. Fred was asked to airlift a batch of equipment and medicines from the research center, and An Feng began to develop and live in the laboratory. A little blood from Xiaobai, and a little blood from a hound, so as to prescribe the right medicine.


    A pet with the loyalty of a dog, the ferocity of a tiger, and the stamina of a leopard is definitely a feat of biotechnology and, in the long run, the direction of evolution. If tigers do not adapt to the natural rhythm, they will slowly become extinct, but An Feng took the initiative to let it evolve.


    ��


    The next day, my brother-in-law received a call from China. Seeing that he hung up the phone with a bad face, An Feng, who was feeding the little tiger, said casually, "What''s the matter?"


    Brother-in-law said: "In China, our car dealership is blocked by people."


    "What?" An Feng was surprised, "Could it be that the boss who took Xiao San away last time still has debts to pay off?"


    But the matter was not so bloody, the brother-in-law shook his head: "No, one of my cousins ??is in trouble."


    "What does your cousin''s trouble have to do with the traffic jam?" An Feng was even more surprised.


    The brother-in-law said helplessly: "Hey...you are not in the country, so I don''t know the situation here. After I took charge of the car dealership, distant relatives and neighbors who had never seen before appeared one by one. The three aunts and six wives saw that our situation is so good, it is inevitable Be courteous, you want me to do you a favor, give me a job or something, my mother can''t stand the ear, and give a cousin who is doing nothing to work in the store..."


    An Feng frowned when he heard this. Although he has been hiding abroad since he was rich, he also knew the saying that "the poor make troubles and no one asks, the rich have distant relatives in the mountains". This is the state of the world and cannot be avoided. There is never a good way to deal with these relationships. If you are too magnanimous, you will have difficulties yourself, and you will not be able to tell your sufferings;


    So human feelings are the most troublesome thing.


    The thing is that his cousin doesn''t do much in the shop, he just hangs around as Liu Ze (brother-in-law), brags outside, makes some wine and meat friends, and when his sister''s family comes to California for vacation, he drinks and gambles with his friends, As a result, he lost more than 300,000 yuan in a row, and couldn''t repay the money he borrowed from others. After the grace period passed, the other party took him to a car dealership called "my home", hoping to get some mortgage first.


    But this car dealership does not belong to him, so naturally he will not take away the mortgage for them. The manager has no choice but to call Liu Ze overseas for help, and then there is the scene in the afternoon. After An Feng heard this, he didn''t blame his relatives and friends. After all, he understood the pressure involved. An Feng said: "Clean up now, let''s go back together, the car dealership is under my name, if there is any dispute, I have to come forward."


    I packed my luggage that afternoon and planned to take Anfeng��s private plane back. The time is almost at the end of August, and the elementary school is about to start, so I can only stay for a few more days, so I will drop by this time. But An Feng didn''t let Joanna come, it was because they wanted to go back to talk and talk, not to play, it was unnecessary.


    He made an excuse and asked Joanna to stay and take care of the little tiger or something.


    There is no need to wait for private jets, but international routes have to be applied in advance. An Feng had no choice but to use the privileges of diplomats, so he was naturally the first to arrange them. In view of the meeting with loan sharks this time, An Feng also brought four bodyguards from Aegis Security, headed by Harry, to be prepared.


    ��


    Returned to the country twice, and then returned to the city by car.


    In order to make it easier for the little girl to go to school, there is also a house in the city, but my parents are away, and it seems that they have been away for a while. This incident did not affect them. After all, the relationship is so far away, and it is not easy to talk. When they came back, there was no sign of the guy.


    It took Liu Ze several phone calls to get in touch. After a few chats, he put down the phone and said, "The person was taken away. The restaurant next to the national road in the countryside in the suburbs requires us to redeem him with money on time. Otherwise, after 12:00 , Cut off a finger an hour later. If you call the police, it will be scrapped immediately."


    The elder sister was worried and angry at the same time: "I told you not to spoil him like this, just make friends with him randomly, but something big happened this time, not everyone is as sensible as my brother! See what to do now ? They are all loan sharks, all of them are ruthless..."


    Liu Ze got dizzy when he heard that, An Feng said: "Sister, don''t talk about it, it won''t be too late to talk about it when you bring him back, now you go back to rest, brother-in-law and I will take care of the rest."


    After putting down the luggage, two taxis were stopped by the side of the road. The formation was very standard. An Feng and Liu Ze sat in the back seat, the co-pilot was a captain, and the car behind was three bodyguards. They had enough communication equipment and simple self-defense weapons. , if it wasn''t illegal to carry a gun, they would do it too.


    Forty minutes later I arrived at the hotel. It was a very unremarkable place with a two-story building. There was a shocking red letter "Demolition" printed on one side of the wall. There was a tire repair shop not far away. It was a typical wilderness. It''s not a good place to go without going to the village and not going to the shop. For safety reasons, the foreigner asked the driver to stop and wait for them. An Feng was responsible for the translation, and added a sentence: the driver readily agreed to pay as much as the time wasted.


    Harry opened the door, An Feng got off the car, four people in black suits, short-inch sunglasses, and ears wrapped around earphone wires walked into the hotel.


    The store is not wide, with six or seven tables, surrounded by people. The main table is a guy with a cropped head and a blue scalp. He wears a gold chain around his neck, a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist, and is shirtless. The fan above his head was shaking feebly, and the people beside him were silent, with serious expressions, as if they were holding a Jianghu conference.


    Liu Ze��s cousin was tied behind his back on a chair, his mouth was stuffed with cloth, and his face was covered in bruises.


    Obviously, after the four foreigners came in, the eyes of the people in the room were unified. Seeing the gangster attire only seen in this movie, many people who pretended to be a bit frightened. The suit is bulging with muscles, and the front of the fist has been smoothed and covered with thick calluses. He either beats people often or has been trained all the year round, but he is by no means a coward.


    As they looked at each other, the other party took out his mobile phone and babbled in a local language. An Feng could understand a little bit. These guys had placed spies at the gate of the police station. As long as they found a police car, they would send a signal and coax them collectively. As for San, it seems that they all have a little experience.


    The man headed by ?? said coldly: "Where''s the money?"


    An Feng said: "I just came back from abroad and I don''t have time to prepare. If you receive a check or have an international account, I can give it to you now."


    The man had no access to personal checks or international accounts, he shook his head: "I only accept cash, it''s getting late, watch out for his fingers!"


    Liu Ze said helplessly: "Transfer the money! I have an account in China. Now that the bank is off work, it is impossible to get cash."


    The man thought for a while, then nodded: "450,000."


    "Didn''t you say 350,000?" Liu Ze frowned, the price soared really fast.


    The man has his reasons: "The loan is 350,000 yuan, and the hotel fee is 100,000 yuan. Is it understandable?"


    An Feng pulled a chair over and sat down opposite the man. Four bodyguards stood beside him. He also calmly stated his reasons: "There are only twenty or thirty people in your room, and more than half of them are just for fun. Yes, and my bodyguards hit four with bare hands, not to mention a stun gun. As a visiting diplomat, I have notified the local government of my whereabouts. As long as one phone call is made, tens of thousands of armed police and special police will block you!"


    The man looked at him in surprise, tens of thousands of people is a bit exaggerated, how could there be so many people in the city? Although he was surrounded by a group of foreign bodyguards, it was a bit fake to say that he was a diplomat, but it was never a good thing to fight with foreigners. Even if it was their fault, the main responsibility was ultimately his own. After a brief thought, the man agreed: "Okay! Seeing that you guys came in such a timely manner, I''ll save face today and take him away with 350,000 yuan unscathed!"


    Liu Ze heaved a sigh of relief. If it weren''t for An Feng''s formation, 450,000 would have been paid.


    The mobile phone transfer money, and after a while, the man took out his super long standby Apple, opened his eyes wide and clicked a few times, and stood up with a grin: "Let''s go!"


    Everyone dispersed in a hurry.

 Chapter 223： Do charity [three more]

    Chapter 223 Charity


    An Feng glanced down, and immediately a bodyguard stepped forward to untie the rope for Liu Feng, and removed the cloth strip from his mouth. Liu Feng took a breath and cursed angrily: "These bastards! I obviously won!" 100,000, they insisted not to let go, and even said they could borrow money if they lost!"


    An Feng obviously had no interest in gambling, so he turned around and left.


    Sitting in the back row are Liu Ze, his cousin Liu Feng and An Feng. The car slowly returned to the destination, and the atmosphere on the road was a bit dull. Liu Feng''s eyes swept around, observing the situation, and after a while, he broke the silence: "Brother, I was wrong about what happened this time..."


    "Let''s talk about it when we go back." Liu Ze said, having a headache about this kind of thing.


    They split into two groups, An Feng asked the bodyguards to find the nearest hotel, and he and his brother-in-law went home first.


    After arriving home, some people came, including Liu Feng''s parents. When they saw Liu Feng with bruises on his face, they rushed to greet him, and asked this and that with concern. Liu Feng also fully interpreted his grievances: " Parents, I didn''t do it on purpose, they just dragged me and refused to let me go! They kept beating me!"


    "As long as it''s okay! It''s all because of those evil spirits!" His mother checked up and down, obediently complaining about Liu Ze''s late arrival, letting their son be abused, etc., the sister couldn''t see it and replied : "I can only blame myself, if he didn''t gamble, how could these things happen!"


    His mother heard it very keenly, and said, "Hey! What are you talking about, meaning that my son deserves it for being beaten?"


    "I don''t mean that!" My sister curled her lips and said, then turned and pulled away Xiaoyu, who was curious and poking around, "Go back to the house to do homework, and school is only a few days away, I will check tomorrow!"


    My sister didn''t take a few steps, but Liu Feng''s mother kept saying, "Don''t worry, we will pay back the 300,000 yuan, not because we owe you."


    My sister stopped, and Liu Ze gave her a wink, but she still couldn''t help it: "Of course it''s not owed to me, but to my brother. Besides this time, there is also the 300,000 last time!"


    When my sister said this, Liu Feng''s mother''s face became a little ugly, and Liu Ze hurriedly said, "People are the most important thing now, so don''t worry about money for now, okay?"


    "I didn''t mention it first!" My sister was also unhappy.


    Mother Liu Feng started to read: "People nowadays, they forget their roots, and they don''t know how we helped you back then. Now that we have some skills, we forget everything!"


    Liu Ze knew that something was wrong as soon as he heard it, and before he had time to speak, his sister said: "Yes, when you were rich and were cadres, we borrowed some money and asked thousands of times like burning incense for our ancestors. The two ends of the day have been talking about it, as if we were afraid that we would evade the bill! But now? We will give you three or five sentences without complaint. You go and let everyone judge and judge. ?��


    When Liu Feng''s mother heard her say this, her face pulled up and she seemed to be sarcastic: "Look at it, everyone! It doesn''t make sense! This book is all for nothing. You just learned how to be ungrateful in school? If you have some money, you will be ungrateful." You can ignore people! I know you have always held grudges in your heart! No wonder you don��t care about this matter at all, I��m afraid you are eager for it to happen, and you are still happy in your heart!"


    My sister was in a hurry: "You! You are talking nonsense, slander��"


    Liu Ze was also annoyed: "Everyone, stop arguing! Please stop for a while!"


    The elder sister said aggrievedly: "I just know how to roar!" After speaking, she pulled Xiaoyu and turned back to the room, leaving Liu Ze with a helpless face and An Feng who was silent at the side.


    Mother Liu Feng continued to make sarcastic remarks: "Look at this attitude��"


    "Okay! Auntie, can you stop for a while?" Liu Ze said with a headache, "There is no need to bring up this matter, it is so stiff now!"


    Instead, An Feng sat down, crossed his legs, and asked, "What''s the matter with my sister talking about owed money?"


    Liu Feng''s family turned to An Feng. After all, they are Liu Ze''s relatives, and their relationship with An Feng is quite far away. The last time they met was when their sister got married. An Feng also had a vague impression of them, all he knew was that their family had some money and they worked in the county government. In the past, his sister borrowed some money from them, but the other party seemed to be very unhappy, and he was afraid that they might not be able to pay it back or something.


    Liu Ze explained: "It was my cousin who wanted to make some investment. He borrowed 300,000 yuan from me before, but it failed later...Because I didn''t have that much free money at the time, so the money was taken from the funds of the car dealership. Yes, count it on me, and I will return the money to you."


    An Feng shook his head: "The company''s account belongs to the company, while the personal''s is personal. If you use the company account to lend money to an individual, you owe the company. You don''t have to bear the money. Whoever owes me will pay it back. You have to figure it out, if money is involved, don''t make a relationship in it!"


    An Feng knew that in Liu Ze''s capacity, it would hurt his feelings if he said this, so he could only let him sing the white face. And he didn''t have a good impression of this family, especially just now, when Liu Ze came from the United States immediately after receiving the news, but after hearing her tone, he complained that they were late.


    They knew that this was the rightful owner, so they said a little meanly: "Don''t worry, how much we owe you, our family still pays attention to face."


    An Feng was not angry: "That''s good. I''m a businessman, and I like straightforward things the most. Record this amount in the company''s receivables, and calculate it according to the market interest rate in the same period. I didn''t ask for the time, but I didn''t I hope it becomes a bad debt. Three hundred thousand plus interest is a lot, don''t blame me for speaking so harshly, after all, this is the company''s money, not personal, according to the legal system, what should be done."


    Liu Feng''s mother looked at An Feng, who had a resolute attitude and an extraordinary bearing, and was about to say a few words, but her husband pulled him away and said, "Let''s do this first, thank you for saving my son. Even if you sell the house or the car, you will pay back all the money.��


    "Good luck to you all!" An Feng said, as he got used to speaking English.


    The family left with a very ugly face.


    ��


    Liu Ze sat down and rubbed his head: "This kind of favor is really hard to get! But I have to thank you, I really don''t know what to say."


    An Feng said: "Understandable. My mother also mentioned it to me on the phone several times. Since our family has money, relatives and friends who have not met before have come forward one by one. They just want to borrow some money to buy a house. For investment or something, borrow if you can, but I reminded them, those who used to be stingy and looked down on others, please say it is my money, deposit it in a foreign bank, and they are not allowed to borrow it without permission."


    Liu Ze smiled: "So you went abroad and left a bad reputation here."


    An Feng curled his lips: "It''s not from those people! Those who were kind to me before and often asked me to go to dinner when I was young, asked me to borrow money without saying a word, and didn''t ask for a repayment time! I want to hold a referendum on character. There is no guarantee that everyone will say that I am good, but at least it will exceed 60%!"


    Liu Ze said: "But there are only a few who can be like you. Here, everyone bows their heads and does not look up, and parents and elders also need face. Being poked in the back all day long is almost a typical example of ungratefulness. So these days Parents-in-law often go out to play and relax."


    "It''s a big deal not to go back!" An Feng said indifferently, "I also know the pressure of having money at home. Otherwise, I will go back tomorrow to donate money to build a few schools, and put my name as a great benevolent person on it. Can a person''s mouth be stronger than the actual evidence!"


    Liu Ze said with a smile: "Look! How many people in this world can do this? Most people will eventually have to compromise with rules and favors!"


    An Feng shook his head: "Forget it, you can figure it out for yourself, or you can bear it and wait for the little girl to graduate from elementary school and go to settle abroad. Sunshine Beach has a good environment for spending US dollars. Except for some areas where there is a little bit of racial awareness. Strong, people of color are not welcome...but the money is the place!"


    Liu Ze nodded.


    An Feng got up and patted him on the shoulder: "I''ll go back and lie down for a while, don''t just sit around stupidly, hurry up and clean up the aftermath! Be careful kneeling on the keyboard tonight, no, kneeling on the CPU!"


    "Damn! You kid!" Liu Ze scolded with a smile.


    ��


    The next day, An Feng drove back to the county to inspect his hometown.


    In the end, he came to the conclusion that his reputation is indeed not very good. Some people generally say that they are ungrateful when they are rich, and they forget who treated them well and helped them... An Feng is speechless. It''s a thumbs up, it''s your turn.


    "I want to do an image project!" An Feng said to his brother-in-law, "Let''s see if a few mouths can distort the facts, or a few golden schools are more effective!"


    As a result, after he contacted some institutions, he learned that a hope primary school needs 10 million.


    An Feng sneered��only fools will donate to you, I will give 10 million, and the school will only cost 1 million in the end, right? Let the dogs eat the remaining nine million! Although he has a lot of money, he doesn''t just cheat people casually. Even if he wants to cheat, he has to show what he thinks is worth it.


    So the diplomat rejected the offer very angrily, and turned to deal with the matter through diplomatic channels. An Feng decided that 10 million is no problem, and 20 million is fine, but at least he must be worthy of the price, don''t tell me 2000 Wan built an elementary school for 800 people, but there was still no hot water! Do you, an ordinary small county town, want to catch up with the elementary school in New York or the construction cost in Los Angeles?


    An Feng skipped the charity link and handled it through diplomatic channels. Although taxes are collected, at least there is no relevant department to intervene. After all, it is related to the international image, so An Feng is nepotism, mainly for convenience, and there happens to be a cousin at home. I have nothing to do at home lately...


    Mainly because of her deeds, she has a strong love, she has done many charitable deeds in the past, and she also worked as a volunteer in the earthquake-stricken area, so her character is absolutely fine. An Feng entrusted her with the use of 20 million love funds and was responsible Build the school, and the power of supervision is handed over to the elder sister.


    The 20 million yuan is enough to build a good primary and secondary school in the county. If not, Anfeng will add more funds in the later stage, but at least 80% of the funds must be used to build schools, not messy relationships. Don''t let charity turn bad��in fact, I have my own thoughts, because An Feng wants to show it to everyone, so the school is currently considering naming it after him.


    After the school is completed, dig some corners and recruit some teachers with a salary higher than the average line. As for the tuition fee, it will not be charged, and the book fee will be enough. Calculated, the annual operating cost may be three to four million, which is not enough for An Feng to bid for a sports car!


    Then, he wanted to see who had a better reputation!


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 224： very powerful

    Chapter 224 is very powerful


    In addition to revisiting his hometown, building a school named after him, and doing good deeds to make his name famous, he also learned about some investment policies in the southern coast. Recently, GP Energy plans to build factories overseas. China is the first choice, nothing else��artificial The fee is low, compared to Americans.


    In the end, the situation is quite clear. Although cheap labor is not very pleasant to hear, the fact is that there are so many Chinese people, and the government cannot guarantee everyone''s jobs. Even Switzerland has unemployed people, and foreign investment is very difficult. Popular, especially the average salary is high.


    A few days later, An Feng''s cousin, An Hui, adjusted her mentality and accepted this paid job that could do good things for the children. Overseas accounts also remitted more than three million US dollars, which was just the money that An Feng occasionally squandered. But it can bring hope to thousands of children.


    An Feng does not reject doing good deeds��the premise is that there is no such thing as beauty, the relevant departments take a cut, and he will be happy to contribute. Originally planned to return to the United States in the morning, but the local government insisted on giving him praise. After learning that he was a diplomat, the praise was changed to thanks.


    An Feng attended the ceremony. The process was very simple. He just chatted with some leaders. Afterwards, he was very sensible and treated them to a meal, but gifts and the like were waived, and the other party obviously did not dare to accept them. Fighting with diplomats, there is a saying in China that "diplomacy is no small matter", unless you are tired of being an official.


    ��


    The day when Joanna returns to school is approaching.


    Preparing for the new semester, An Feng accompanied her to go shopping and buy some beautiful clothes. At the same time, we will pay close attention to the production of biological medicines of Little Tiger, and also pay attention to the research and development of health care medicines. It is estimated that qualified samples will be produced in October. So Anfeng contributed some future beverage technology.


    He does not sell medicines, but only sells bio-drinks, but he also needs FDA inspection. He wasn''t worried. For the beverages popularized by the public, the main thing is to detect whether there is any damage to the human body. There is no problem in this aspect. An Feng understands the efficacy of these ingredients better than anyone else.


    As for the name of the drink, you have to think carefully.


    This time, I also handed over the job of choosing the name to John. An Feng didn��t put much effort into choosing the name, which can be seen from Xiaobai, and as a big brand that will sell well in the world in the future, it must be loud and easy to pronounce... The first day of September , An Feng injected Xiaobai with the first injection of biological medicine.


    It is mainly like the "vaccine" we give, which focuses on prevention, because there will be many different types of medicines in the future. If there is no such tailor-made primer, it will fail in many cases. After Xiaobai got an injection, he got up and opened his watery eyes innocently.


    But it was still alive and well. Looking around, An Feng held it in his arms and scratched it a few times, rubbing his head with it. The little guy calmed down, and he carried him to visit other departments. The research center is now taking a high-end route. There are not many people, but they are all elites. The equipment is not complicated, and all of them are top-notch.


    An Feng does not pay attention to the profit of the research center, but to the results. Therefore, half of the money for the rapid treatment of cancer is used to upgrade the equipment of the research center and increase wages. It can be said that due to the good academic atmosphere and the world''s top research environment, the research center is currently a sacred place in the hearts of biologists, especially graduates in cytology, who are even more attracted to it.


    He has seen a survey that graduates from prestigious universities in the United States, who meet their majors, hope to come to the research center for internship or employment. Firstly, its technology leads the world, and secondly, the salary is very high, and there are dividends for research results, and a large amount of research funding. ��He walked around and met three batches of interns from prestigious schools. They all showed a modest and cautious attitude, because there is a popular saying in the research center, "Maybe the person passing by you is someone who is going to win the Nobel Prize." Expert", this sentence is too lethal.


    There is a full-touch smart computer at the entrance of the elevator on each floor. This is a technology contributed by GP. The screen and chip made of graphene, coupled with the application of new technologies, can query the information you want in the fastest way. To know the specific information of each department, including personnel, location, subject, etc.


    An Feng clicked a few times casually. In addition to the two major tasks he arranged, the research center is currently engaged in the research and development of some intractable diseases, heart disease, or skin diseases; there are also research and development for terminal diseases: AIDS and leukemia. So the popular saying inside the company is true, it will produce many Nobel Prize winners.


    He also left some research and development directions and theories for the special research group, but the involvement is not deep. He intends to build a high-speed internal network after the computer technology of GP company matures, record his experience and experience, and then related technology Personnel are reviewed by rank.


    Only trusted or gifted employees can be promoted to the deeper content of his field-and this requires a certain amount of intelligence, not rigid operations. The current computer technology is not good enough, so GP''s technology very critical.


    Benefiting from the technology provided by GP, the current research center has a high-tech aura; coupled with the presence of Aegis Security, it has a high-level security environment. From the inside to the outside, from technology to safety, it will be all-round star treatment.


    ��


    An Feng brought the cute little tiger back to live in San Rafael.


    I don��t know if the community will keep this kind of large pet, but don��t worry now, even if someone sees it, he will say it��s a dyed big cat. You don��t even care about the hairstyle and color of your pet? However, after checking, the community did not have any regulations on this aspect.


    There is no permission or regulation, so keep a low profile.


    The backyard is very spacious, with water and trees, enough for Xiaobai to make trouble. His old friend, Labrador "Lily" is also with him. It''s just that Lily''s personality tends to be pet dogs, and she doesn''t have the trained wildness of Pippi and Eggy, which is not good for teaching Xiaobai to master the killing skills.


    The days passed peacefully. An Feng has been engaged in scientific research, preparing Xiaobai''s next stage of medicine. According to his calculations, there will be a total of five stages in about two weeks, and the third stage will induce mutations. The stage is guaranteed, and you can start over even if you fail.


    The entire experiment process took only two and a half months, which was much faster than expected, but An Feng planned to wait until Xiaobai was three months old before starting. Mature individuals can also guarantee the success rate of the experiment, and they must have a strong body. Only then can it withstand the tempering of these life evolutions.


    It was the weekend, An Feng met with some friends, Daisy, his boyfriend, Lin Xiaofei who was nearby, prepared snacks and desserts together, and boarded the boat to go to sea. The temperature in September has returned to a little refreshing. It is also very interesting to stay in the inner bay of San Francisco, bask in the sun and enjoy the scenery.


    An Feng picked up Xiaobai, stood on the stern platform, and under everyone''s attention, he bent down and put him in the sea... It was not the first time Xiaobai touched the water, but it was the first time he touched the sea water, maybe he didn''t feel it What''s the difference, I jumped up happily, and the cool sea water was very refreshing.


    "Wow, does it really know how to swim?" Lin Xiaofei said in surprise, she was still reluctant to ask An Feng to put Xiao Bai into the water just now.


    An Feng smiled: "Don''t you understand? Although there are tigers who can''t swim, Bengal tigers are excellent in water. They live in tropical and subtropical regions, where there are many swamps and rainforests. They can swim without training. How can you sneak up and hunt? It��s even better than humans!"


    "It''s so cute!" Daisy took a few photos with her phone.


    An Feng walked back to the living area by stepping on the stairs, sat there and watched everyone taking pictures, and then jumped into the water to play with the little tiger. Laughed, this guy''s welfare is much better than that of humans.


    Joanna comes over and brings him a glass filled with liquid.


    An Feng took a sip and asked, "Is it water?"


    "Don''t always drink." She sat beside him, "Drinking too much is bad for your body, beer belly, alcoholic liver, and decreased sexual ability."


    "No, right? My muscles are quite beautiful, and I have always been very sexual." An Feng stroked his stomach.


    "I don''t care, listen to me!" She said arrogantly.


    "Okay, I will let you experience it tonight and you will know that I am not lying."


    "Bold!" Joanna laughed, shrunk her legs on the sofa, leaned on his shoulder, and said, "The trip to Africa is coming soon, do you have any plans?"


    An Feng said: "There are still more than ten days left, so think about it slowly, but Bazel said that they are available locally, so you don''t need to bring anything��except for women''s clothes."


    Joanna nodded: "That''s right, they have a private animal sanctuary locally."


    "So we just need to pay attention to adjusting our schedule." After An Feng finished speaking, the phone rang.


    After answering the call, it was from the biological pharmacy team of the research center. After testing their experimental drugs on mice for many times, the results were all within the expected value. The test body showed obvious changes, with stronger vitality, improved physical fitness, and food intake Correspondingly increased features.


    This means that the biopharmaceutical has been successful.


    The employees of the research center are very powerful, repeating the tedious work over and over again, and finally got the result An Feng wanted. When he had time, he flew to Los Angeles and looked at the results. Currently, it is the most concentrated medicine, a jelly-like substance, which is expensive, tastes bad, and looks bad, but it is easily soluble in water. , seldom repelled with other drugs, so it is the best choice to make a drink after dilution.


    Due to the complexity of the ingredients, there is no need to apply for a patent, or you can apply for a certain part of the patent, which makes the road to copycats more complicated.


    An Feng tried a new drink, and it was okay. In fact, it is not a selling point, but to cover up the biological agent like boiled water to make its taste more acceptable. At this stage of development, there are still some follow-up work left, which will be submitted for inspection after being handled properly, and the new company will be able to produce it if passed.


    However, the short-term effect of bio-drinks is not obvious, which means that its competitiveness will not be the same as that of anti-cancer drugs or graphene, so it needs a lot of advertisements, spread all over the world, so that more people can know and choose it , love it, can''t live without it in the end.

 Chapter 225： Tanzania

    Chapter 225 Tanzania


    In late September, An Feng and Joanna took some time to get vaccinated, mainly yellow fever vaccine, typhoid fever vaccine, etc. Because the sanitation conditions in Africa are poor and there are many infectious diseases, vaccination is just in case. Then, everyone discussed the itinerary of the trip on the Internet and on the phone.


    Considering that everyone has children (wives) studying, the itinerary is relatively small. Including weekends, there are only five days in total, and there is only one location: Tanzania. An Feng had heard about it before. Several countries in East Africa: Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and other regions have the largest number of wild animals, and it is also the easiest to watch classic TV programs such as Animal World and Animal Kingdom.


    Entering Tanzania is not complicated��An Feng and Joanna are exempt from visas. The reason is... Citizens of Commonwealth countries are naturally visa-free. But Americans can''t, they can only sign on arrival and add another 50 US dollars! Or obediently go to the consulate to get a visa. An Feng who knew the truth was happy.


    It took a while for the Americans to go through the formalities. In the early hours of Saturday, everyone gathered in New York with their luggage. There were eight people on this trip. Except for An Feng and Joanna, the Bazel family and the Matthew family were all present. Boarding the Gulfstream G550 business jet, I am full of longing for the upcoming journey.


    After more than six hours of takeoff, it first landed in Casablanca, Kingdom of Morocco. Due to the total distance, it could not arrive at one time, and it was necessary to refuel halfway. At this time, the sky was only getting brighter. As the busiest airport in Morocco, passengers from various countries shuttled in the terminal building.


    Waiting was boring, so everyone listened to Bazel''s story.


    "The social level in Tanzania is definitely far inferior to South Africa, but if you go to South Africa to see animals, you might as well stay in the United States! Population and industrial development have affected the purity of nature, and commercialization has also made it lose the original taste of Africa. Only in Kenya Only in Tanzania can you experience the purest style. The wild animals in Tanzania are among the best in the world, six or seven times more than Kenya.��


    An Feng asked curiously: "Bazel, how did you come up with the idea of ??building a zoo over there?"


    Bazel smiled: "At first it was an interest. It is not accurate to say that the zoo is a nature conservation park integrating research and adoption. I am just an investor, and the real management is local people and scholars. There are film crews every year. Stop over at my side because the conditions are better."


    An Feng asked again: "Since it''s a private place, hunting must be convenient, right?"


    Bazel nodded: "Of course, the management is much looser than that of the United States, but it also has to follow the government''s regulations. Hunting species are seasonally regulated and need to be reported, and each prey will be marked with a price. But in recent years, lions, leopards and Hunting permits for large animals like elephants are on the decline."


    An Feng asked: "Elephants can also be killed? Isn''t it endangered?"


    "It depends on the location. For example, China''s wild deer herds are scarce, but they are flooded in the United States. There are quite a lot of elephants in East Africa. There are too many elephants knocking down trees to find food. Due to the needs of forest protection, the government often A certain number of elephants are hunted to reduce economic losses. Therefore, according to international conventions, a small number of elephants are allowed to be hunted every year, but only old ones."


    An Feng understood: "It''s good to kill the old but not the young."


    Bazel said: "But poachers don''t pay attention to these things. They focus on ivory and rhino horns. In the past few years, the security guards hired by the park have caught more than 20 poachers and seized a large number of ivory. Poaching The fate of the victims was also quite miserable, and the locals hung them from trees before the government arrived."


    An Feng understood the meaning of this. In such a wild place in Africa, where wild beasts infested, hanging from a tree meant nothing more.


    ��


    After listening to the experienced Bazel tell a lot of African legends, I found that he is not just a white hunter on the African continent. The hunter is just one of his identities. He is also a wildlife protector. He invests in the construction of protected parks every year to prevent poaching. and provide a research environment.


    His private conservation park in northern Tanzania covers an area of ??nearly 1,000 square kilometers, covering a freshwater lake and a vast plain. He has a group of security teams who usually patrol around to drive away poachers. He also receives support and awards from the government. He is an outstanding person.


    Everyone listened with great interest and yearned for Africa even more. Two hours later, I boarded the plane and flew from Casablanca to Dodoma, the capital of Tanzania. It took more than six hours. When I arrived in the sky above Tanzania, the sun was high above my head, and the plane landed cautiously.


    The airport is very ordinary, with only one runway, and the number of flights is very small. After stepping off the plane, the heat wave came head-on. An Feng looked up at the sky, and saw the scorching sun, which remained the same throughout the year. This is East Africa, a typical tropical region, which is just around the equator line of the earth, and there will never be winter.


    But Dodoma is not the destination. Their journey has just begun, and Bazel obviously has no intention of staying. After everyone has completed the immigration procedures, he will take them on a single-engine fixed-wing plane. This is very common in the United States. The price of 10,000 yuan can be used both on land and in water after modification.


    The person who flew the plane was a middle-aged white man, wearing a T-shirt, big shorts, and sunglasses, very casually.


    The plane took off smoothly on the concrete runway and left the city. The captain deliberately lowered the flight altitude, showing everyone the wilderness below. There are vast grasslands everywhere, and a variety of animals... This is not the peak tourist season, but it is also the second peak season, and there are many European and American tourists.


    The destination is somewhere in Manyara, which cannot be found on the map, but it is a well-known gathering place for experienced travelers, with an airport and a hotel. The living conditions in East Africa are harsh, and life is usually camped in camps. A hotel is a rare place, let alone an airport.


    Actually, that "airport" is a bit of a misnomer... When the captain was about to land, An Feng could only see a bare dirt runway.


    "Are you sure?" An Feng turned to look at his companions.


    The runway has become clear, which is the same as the fact that there are basically no cement roads in this country. Most of the roads, including the airstrip, are dirt, and they are not very long...It is scary, no wonder business jets can��t stop , This needs to be replaced with a heavier plane, and the landing is estimated to be fatal.


    During the landing process, everyone watched with trepidation. But Bazel talked with Matthew about the next plan very easily, with a calm face and indifferent emotions... The plane bumped on the runway and came to a steady stop. During this process, everyone was sweating .


    Everyone got off the plane one after another, and they were relieved after getting down to earth.


    Bazel looked at everyone''s expressions and said with a smile: "I have flown this runway dozens of times, and I have tried even worse environments than here. For this kind of light fixed wing, unless it is a pile of rubble, otherwise Kyle (Captain) can stop easily, he was a fighter pilot before!"


    "If you could have said it earlier, none of us would be nervous." An Feng made a joke, and praised the pilot calmly.


    Kyle, who came down last, smiled and bowed: "Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your trust. Finally, I wish you all a pleasant journey!"


    After getting off the plane, I felt that the weather was getting hotter. While waiting for the pick-up vehicle, everyone started to take off their clothes. Bazel also reminded: "Pay attention to sun protection, the ultraviolet rays here are very strong, be careful of sunburn, put on your clothes first, and we will choose some sunshade equipment later."


    "I have these!" Joanna pulled a pair of sunglasses from her backpack.


    After waiting for a few minutes, the car that picked them up arrived. I thought it was all pickups or big breads, but I didn��t expect them to be quite high-end. Three black Jeep Wranglers were obviously modified. The wheels were very wide and large, and they were diesel versions. After all, there is basically no gasoline in Africa.


    The convoy left the airport, walked along the dirt road through the souvenir market, and went to the hotel in the suburbs��in fact, it was only about two kilometers away. When we arrived, we found that it was a three-storey building, which was very nice, with a restaurant and a swimming pool, and the grass in the backyard was soft. We will also live here.


    From the window of the hotel, you can see the vast grassland around. The green grass is sparse, and it looks yellow. Occasionally, there are a few animals hiding in the shade of trees and grass, and it is not clear whether it is an antelope or a wildebeest. . An Feng and Joanna lay by the window and stared.


    "Here is some equipment for you." An Feng handed the taken out telescope to Joanna.


    Joanna looked through the binoculars: "Amazing! I saw two giraffes!"


    "Where?" An Feng took her binoculars, and found a long neck in a weed that was estimated to be as tall as a person, shaking his head...fighting!


    "They are fighting, and a third one is coming!" An Feng said.


    "Let me see," Joanna said.


    They exchanged binoculars and stared at the wonderful scene in the distance, and other passengers noticed it. The camera clicked constantly. Unfortunately, the clumsy fight between the two did not last, and the giraffe rushed over to persuade the fight. Soon, as if nothing had happened, he continued to eat leaves.


    This cute look won a lot of laughter from everyone.


    They gathered in the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel, where the air-conditioning was in stark contrast to the scorching sun outside the window. After An Feng and Joanna found Bazel, Matthew and Christina also ran in from the door in a hurry, saying, "It''s terrible! The temperature outside is terrible!"


    An Feng said: "In such a hot afternoon, I dare not stand in the sun for ten seconds."


    Bazel said: "Don''t worry, we will basically spend in the car in the future, there is not such a strong sun, and it may rain these days."


    Everyone had lunch. The rhythm of Africa is a bit slow. Whether it is a waiter or a chef, the pace of life is very slow. Fortunately, Bazel is the owner of this area��including hotels, restaurants, airports, and safari parks. The district is all contracted by him.


    The boss is present, and the speed is much faster.


    After the meal was full, everyone went back to the shop we just passed by. Most of them were carved handicrafts, masks, and some paintings, but not many people bought them. Everyone looked at it, and finally chose some Arabic-style headscarves and face scarves, which can not only shade the sun, but also facilitate ventilation.


    They each put on their headscarves, hats, a pair of sunscreen sunglasses, and a breathable coat. They walked together to the nearby zoo. They said that the zoo was too narrow. In fact, there were fences and houses in the adoption center. All other areas are fully open.


    That is to say, wild animals can come and leave at any time, and no one controls them.


    The animals kept in the pens are adopted or are being studied. Tickets are charged at $5, and there are many tourists. It is said that there will be more tourist seasons. Although there is no primitive wild, there is a very good link here-being able to contact animals.


    No, as soon as the ladies in front walked in, cheers came.

 Chapter 226： wild africa

    Chapter 226 Wild Africa


    As soon as they stepped into the park, they saw a few tall creatures looking at them, with long eyelashes and **** eyes full of curiosity. Catherine and Joanna, who were walking in front, were full of youthful vigor, standing on tiptoe by the fence, wanting to touch They, this giraffe, also have a good temper and bowed their heads to cooperate.


    Matthew pointed to the top: "Ladies, don''t worry down there, let''s go to the second floor and feed them with our own hands!"


    It is much more convenient to come to the corridor on the second floor. The giraffe normally stands at the same height as them, and the staff next to it is holding a piece of alfalfa in its hand. At a glance, it is clear that tourists have paid for it. But An Feng discovered that Bazel, the boss, also had to pay.


    Sensing An Feng''s gaze, Bazel explained: "The Fund for Animal Protection has limited funding, and poaching has been serious in recent years, so the money must be spent on key points, and even most of the hotel''s annual profits are invested in it. Try to It needs to be self-sufficient in order to survive in the long run.��


    "Good idea." An Feng said.


    Seeing that everyone was very happy feeding the giraffe, An Feng also brought some food forward. The giraffe stretched out its head. An Feng hugged its big head and spread his palms. very happy. The closest contact is much more interesting than the zoo.


    The giraffe did not forget to please him after eating, wanting to get more rewards, An Feng got close to take a photo with it, and was licked by the hot long tongue without paying attention. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and only touched One point, if you don''t get rolled by such a big tongue...it''s like washing your face.


    An Feng took a few steps back with a smile, saying that everyone was hugging the giraffe, but they were very affectionate. Bazel reminded everyone: "The buck has a bad temper, and you may get angry if you touch it. To pet the doe, as long as you give them something to eat, they will basically refuse to pet them!"


    An Feng stood beside him and said, "You''re pretty good at research."


    "Do this often, and find out their habits." Bazel said.


    Played for a while, then everyone bid farewell to the giraffe and left from the other side of the stairs. The next stop is the breeding area, also called the adoption area, which is dedicated to adopting and caring for small animals that have lost their parents. The managers of the reserve will bring them back and release them to nature after they are raised to a certain age.


    The Little Lion Center is not open today, and many foreign tourists leave disappointed. Although there are many wild animals in Africa, there are still very few opportunities to get close to them. At least when you go out to see them, you must be separated by a layer of glass or protection. Yes, very few can or dare to touch it.


    The sign at the door is clearly written, the price of 40 dollars is close contact, but there is a closing reminder below. But as soon as Bazel arrived, the staff opened the door automatically... There is no doubt, it was the boss who came over, and they specially vacated the seat for them exclusively.


    There are two little guys who have just lost their mothers. After the cage was opened, they ran out like puppies and ran around the room. They were very naughty. The little lions went around in circles with the staff, but they refused to catch them, but they were still reacted to later. Sensitively grabbing the skin on the back of his neck, he lifted it up.


    It was almost no surprise that the two cubs were given to the lady first.


    The one in Joanna''s arms was only two or three weeks old. It had two big watery eyes, black eyes, round ears, and a big belly. It was the same as Xiaobai at home. She is ignorant and curious about everything, and does not refuse the touch of strangers at all. This natural cuteness is simply a lady killer, even men can''t resist the innocence and cuteness of young animals.


    They stayed with the little lion for the most time. After everyone came out satisfied, it was getting late, and they walked around the garden again. It is not big, and it can basically be walked in ten minutes, but if you stop and look, you have to Spend a long time taking photos with giraffes, teasing lion cubs, watching cheetahs sleeping late, or going to see the rare century-old tortoise, leisurely hiding under the shade of trees to enjoy the cool.


    Until the evening, everyone was finally tired from playing and went back to have dinner. Due to the time difference, there was no activity at night, so they all went back to the house to rest.


    the next day.


    Everyone gathers in front of the hotel after putting on breathable and loose-fitting clothes in the morning.


    Four cars were parked outside. The eight of them were divided into three groups according to the family and took three cars. There was also a car for accompanying security guards. Four black men with guns were hired by the wildlife park to drive away poachers. In addition to security guards, there are four drivers and guides, and another animal expert.


    An Feng looked at the animal expert a few more times because...his name is Darwin. It is said that it is an expert from England who specializes in the study of lions, leopards and other beasts.


    Darwin has worked in Africa for many years and knows this area well. When he learned that Bazel and his party were going to hunt, he made a list for them. According to the number of wild animals this year, hunting without affecting the ecological balance, the maximum allowed Two lions, two elephants, five leopards...


    In fact, the impact of commercial hunting on the ecology is far less than that of human activities��such as industrial development, urban expansion, mining of minerals, etc. Although it is not possible to see how many animals died because of this, it affects the entire biological chain behind it, and the number on the verge of extinction is far greater than that of human activities. Much more than commercial hunting.


    Of course, poaching is not included.


    Darwin was deeply resentful about poaching: "Just two months ago, many armed poachers appeared in the northwest area close to Rwanda, killing more than a dozen elephants one after another, and there is a tendency to spread southward. The army Some people went to investigate, but nothing came out!"


    Bazel said: "Go back and ask the security team to seize the security checks in the surrounding area."


    Darwin said: "But only our area can be protected, and other national parks may become a place for poachers to gain profits."


    Bazel shook his head: "You know that this kind of thing is inevitable. We are not omnipotent. We can only protect what we can take care of."


    Darwin also knew this, but he still looked helpless.


    Bazel came in front of everyone, and two security guards took the weapon box from the car, he said: "We are operating in a private protected area, and Darwin will give you a list for each team, follow the above regulations, there are some There are limits to how animals can be hunted, and the methods are on it."


    Next is to shoot the shotgun.


    There are also restrictions on hunters�� guns. Large magazines or automatic weapons are prohibited. You can choose double-barreled shotguns, or some rifles in the catalog, such as a Steyr SSG-PI held by An Feng, and he was in the United States. The SSG69 sniper rifle is similar, but it is a commercial model, with iron sights removed, a heavier barrel, and a .243 Winchester round that is smaller than the .308 version.


    After taking one or two shotguns, the average number of guns in the team has reached 1.5. I am afraid that it is also the most powerful tour group in Tanzania. The most in the hands of others are cameras or fruit knives. With a gun on his back, he is full of toughness!


    ��


    After the preparations are complete, everyone gets in the car.


    These four Wranglers have been modified to varying degrees. Originally, the Wrangler claimed that its off-road performance was comparable to that of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. it. But comfort is not considered.


    In fact, in Africa, you don��t need to consider comfort. The main thing is to have a soft chair, and it��s heaven to have an air conditioner blowing cold wind, and you can do anything else. The roofs of these four vehicles are all modified to be in a liftable mode, which can support a shed, allowing people to stand up in the car and look at the external scenery.


    After the convoy set off, everyone was standing uniformly, the sun was covered by the ceiling above their heads, they were wearing sunglasses, wrapped in face scarves, and they picked up their cameras to look around. An Feng and Joanna share a car, with a driver and guide on board, and a car radio to keep communication unblocked at all times.


    They play very high-end games. The other tourist teams encountered on the road are inferior to them in terms of equipment and vehicles, and the tourists are purely for viewing, while they have the purpose of hunting. This time, except for the rare animals on the list, there are no restrictions on other zebras, antelopes, etc.


    Especially hyenas, because lions are illegally poached excessively, the hyenas have no natural enemies, and the result is naturally flooding and seriously damaging the ecosystem. Therefore, hyenas are currently shot freely in many African countries, aiming to control their numbers to a reasonable level.


    After walking a few kilometers along the dirt road, the guide car turned into a private reserve and bumped forward on the grassland. The Wrangler has strong off-road performance. It has three differential locks and non-independent suspension to ensure that it can pass obstacles even when only one tire is on the ground.


    Darwin��s voice was on the radio, and he was introducing the area: ��Last week, there was a group of hyenas with a number of about 30. My colleagues filmed scenes where they snatched food from cheetahs and lions. If you go in this direction, you may gain something.��


    The team increased the speed of the car. The surrounding design of the roof is very thoughtful, with armrests and cushions, which makes it comfortable for people to lean on. An Feng and Joanna looked at the open grassland around them. It''s not much, and I have to sit back and blow dry frequently.


    About ten minutes later, the convoy returned to another road.


    Within a few minutes, a voice came from the guide car: "Attention, there are a group of Xiangqun crossing the road ahead. There are many small elephants. Stop and turn off the engine. Be careful not to provoke them."


    Darwin acted as the narrator at the right time: "Little elephants are very timid and easily frightened, especially the sound of the engine. Once it is frightened, the elephant will get angry. Our few cars can''t stand it. So they passed Be careful on the road and don''t get too close."


    Everyone stands up and observes the herd of elephants crossing the road.


    Compared with the elephants An Feng saw in the zoo, these African elephants are a little thinner and dirty, but the baby elephants are cute, with short noses, they cross the road with their mothers, very well-behaved, and won many cameras rattling sound. But there are also special elephants with a bunch of grass rolled up in their noses and come to the side of the road to eat, and then their accomplices stretch their noses to grab the grass in its mouth, but it looks like it is trying to kiss, which is very funny.


    These two elephants don''t even cross the road, so they just roll up grass and eat in the middle of the road. If there is a traffic jam, the driver who is impatient may have already honked his horn, but this is not the case here. It is no longer a human world, it is an animal kingdom. Animals are the masters, and humans can only escape when they get angry.


    Patiently wait for the herd of elephants to cross the road, and then continue to set off. A voice came from the radio: "Good luck, there are lions hunting ahead!"


    An Feng looked around, but couldn''t find anything except a patch of weeds. The two of them searched together, and there were various inquiries on the radio. Obviously, these novices were not as sharp as the eyes of experts. After Darwin pointed out the specific direction, It was difficult for everyone to find the lion group hiding in the weeds.


    There are about three or four lionesses staring at the gazelles grazing not far away.


    Then Darwin''s voice sounded: "Oh! There is a group of hyenas in the northwest! It seems that this lion hunt will be very exciting!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 227： lioness encounter

    Chapter 227 Lioness Encounter


    The group of gazelles who were grazing leisurely were obviously unaware of the danger coming.


    An Feng observed through the scope of a sniper rifle. The gazelle is a medium-sized animal with a light brown body, but the abdomen is obviously white, and a pair of long sharp horns on the top of the head. It has an aggressive personality. A group of lions surrounded them, and two gazelles were having a good time fighting with their heads on top of each other. They were not vigilant enough.


    Darwin''s voice sounded: "The lion group is Victor''s family. The leading lioness recently gave birth to three cubs and has been looking for food nearby... The hyenas are also approaching. They look hungry and may steal the lion''s prey , or perhaps act on their own.��


    An Feng looked at the group of hyenas farther away. He had heard about hyenas for a long time. They have a bad reputation. They are a symbol of greed and laziness. They specialize in snatching prey from lions and leopards for nothing. But there are also people who justify their names. Hyenas will also actively hunt and even bring down bison.


    "Oh look! The pride is in motion!"


    The sound fell, and everyone focused on the lions. Three lionesses rushed out from the grass, chasing the gazelles who were immersed in grazing and fighting. The appearance of the lion immediately shocked the group of creatures, their four legs seemed to be loaded with springs, and they scattered in the blink of an eye.


    The three lionesses chased after them, and soon, they locked on one of the gazelles! Its body is very flexible, it dodges from left to right, and never walks in a straight line. The first lioness chasing after it is not as flexible as it is, and it misses nothing, but the cooperation of the lions is very tacit. One dodged to avoid the lion''s **** maw, but was knocked down head-on by a lioness chasing from the other direction, biting her neck, and fell silent in a few seconds.


    "Wonderful!" Everyone''s voice came from the radio station.


    This hunt took a very short time, but the cooperation was tacit, and it was a classic.


    After the lion bit off the throat of its prey, it began to share the delicacy. Apart from the panicked gazelles, the hyenas in the outer circle also slowly arrived. The ugly sound from the hyena''s mouth, like a hysterical laugh, was transmitted to the lion group, and they raised their heads vigilantly.


    At this time, the hyena pack speeded up, and the lion pride faced a choice: fight or retreat. The number of hyenas is at least 20. Although the lions are mighty, they can only fight hyenas head-on, but three lions can only shrink their heads when facing 20 hyenas.


    The lionesses were not very reconciled, maybe they were starving these days, so they took a few more bites of food, and then roared, trying to scare off the group of hyenas. But after all, hyenas are used to running rampant on this land, and they are born to like to bully others. With prey and few opponents, isn''t this an opportunity?


    When the hyenas approached, the three lionesses circled around the prey, chasing the hyenas away with noises and dashes. For a moment, the hyenas hesitated, but soon the smell of the food stimulated them. They also gained courage, and the hyenas began to attack the lions together.


    Once the group of hyenas cooperated, the lions were indeed invincible. After a while, they flinched and stood aside unwillingly, watching their prey being shared. Another lion was bitten on the leg when driving away the group of hyenas just now, and now it is lying on the ground panting, very angrily.


    "Poor lions!" said Joanna.


    An Feng couldn''t deny it: "The law of the jungle is the law of nature. When the lions are full, the hyenas will starve to death one after another."


    "Yes." She nodded, "but I still sympathize with them."


    "It means being sympathetic is a normal person." An Feng said with a smile.


    Maybe everyone''s sympathy is at work, Darwin said: "According to the recent activities of lions, they have been facing food shortages, the hunting team has lost a lioness, and there are too many hyenas. If you can, you It would be nice to intervene in this matter.��


    Although it is said that it is best for humans not to intervene to destroy the laws of nature, the poaching of lions has long broken the rules, and the excess of hyenas is evidence. When animal experts also said the same, Bazel��s voice came: " Leave half! Follow my instructions when everyone is ready!"


    "No problem." An Feng picked up the sniper rifle, adjusted the magnification of the scope, and mounted the gun on the roof of the car. He observed the group of hyenas vying for the gazelle. There were only one gazelle in such a large number. Not enough to eat... Joanna beside her also set up her gun.


    An Feng glanced at her, and said to the communicator: "No. 3 is ready!"


    "Received!" Bazel said decisively like an army commander: "All units are ready, now you can shoot freely!"


    The sound fell, and there were gunshots. An Feng pulled the trigger, and a spotted hyena in the scope was knocked over. The blood on his body flew several meters away, and he couldn''t get up again. He reacted quickly. After firing a shot, he pulled the trigger to eject the cartridge and reloaded it. With one shot, another hyena that was running in a hurry was rolled over, but it was still able to get up and struggle. An Feng shot through it again. body of.


    After the second hyena fell to the ground, An Feng wanted to continue looking for other prey, but they were all gone. Then everyone reported on the radio. An Feng reacted quickly and shot two prey, Joanna and the others. There are only eight people in total, which is a little less than the expected ten.


    After the hyenas were beaten away, the pride of lions obviously got a chance. Despite the threat of gunshots, hunger drove them forward and bit their prey again. This time they did not eat in place and planned to drag them back. According to Darwin, they still have cubs waiting for food at home.


    Everyone put down their guns, put on a telephoto lens, and take pictures of the backs of the lions.


    Bazel said to everyone: "It''s a good start. Let''s continue down, keep up with the lions, and see their families and cubs."


    The convoy starts and moves on.


    There is no road in the direction of the lions, and there are a lot of rocks. This is an extreme test of the off-road ability of the vehicle. If you change it to some pickup trucks, it is probably either scratching the chassis or getting stuck in the rock pile, while the Wrangler is still easily passing through obstacles. Follow lions dragging food at a distance.


    They followed and filmed all the way, with a few vultures hovering above their heads.


    Joanna looked at the sky: "Does this mean that there are abandoned corpses nearby?"


    "Maybe." An Feng took a few glances, and the places where vultures hovered usually had prey ready to fall, or were being shared by hunters.


    They followed to a pond where rainwater accumulated, where the lion family lived.


    The convoy stopped. Getting too close would disturb them. Everyone picked up binoculars and observed the lions from a distance. There is also a lazy male lion in the lion group. Its big and thick mane is very conspicuous. When the food is served, it will come up to enjoy it domineeringly, and there are two or three cute little guys around it.


    Darwin''s murmur spread over the radio: "Strange, where is the other lioness Shirley? Let''s get closer and look from the other direction."


    The convoy approached slowly, switched to the side of the lions, without the cover of vegetation, and finally saw the scene of the lions enjoying the food clearly. Both the male lion and the lioness were biting the carcass of their prey, chewing heavily, blood splattered everywhere, and the cubs They gathered around, occasionally getting a piece or two of meat, and they had a great time fighting over it.


    "I saw it!" Darwin''s voice became high-pitched, "Damn it! Shirley was lying down, she was injured...it was a trap!"


    The convoy was only three or four hundred meters away from the Lions'' family. An Feng set up the binoculars, just as it happened in front of him. An Feng observed the lion Darwin mentioned. The flesh and blood that came out were very obvious... even ferocious.


    Its neck was tightly strangled by the trap, and it was sunk in the flesh. The skin had long since disappeared, and the red flesh on the neck was turned out, and there were even flies crawling on it. The lioness lay powerless, exhausted, her almond-yellow eyes filled with despair, not to mention eating, even breathing was difficult.


    "Let''s help him!" Catherine and others in the team had this thought.


    Darwin said: "There are lions around, our tranquilizer guns are not enough, and the lions will attack us!"


    "So what?" Joanna asked.


    "Look again, let''s find a way to drive the lion away!" Darwin said.


    "You prepare an anesthesia gun, and shoot them away after they are full!" Bazel said, "Matthew, pay attention to the lion group later, we face two situations, the lion group leaves or the angry male lion attacks us, Don''t overestimate the bullet in your hand, the lion will not be afraid!"


    An Feng has seen a video of a group of hunters hunting down a lioness, but was chased by a lioness. It was shot several times, but it still rushed into the crowd and threw the hunters down. Unfortunately, it lost its aim, or it would have been slapped or bitten , is enough for the hunter to die. So lazy male lions are the most dangerous.


    Waiting patiently, the tragic situation of the lioness Shirley won everyone''s sympathy and the anger of poachers. Due to the sharp decline in wild tigers, hunters focused on lions, and the price of their bones doubled by ten in just ten years. Times, also attracted the interests of poachers.


    The lions finally had their fill. Bazel asked everyone to fire into the sky, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the lions. During the confrontation, they continued to shoot. Maybe it was because they were too full to run or something else. The male lion let out a few very domineering roars Finally, she left with her lion group, and Xue Li struggled to get up and followed behind.


    "good chance!"


    The vehicle caught up, and within the effective range of the anesthesia gun, it shot Shirley in the ass. The guy struggled a few times and fainted to the ground.


    Everyone stared at the lions that were far away, and after confirming safety, some people stayed in the car, and the rest got off.


    Darwin took a first-aid kit and came to Shirley to observe. When everyone saw its neck at close range, the contracted iron chain had already sunk into the muscle. Darwin couldn''t find a way to cut it off, and even the area around the wound was infected. Even if it is cut off, it will not escape death.


    Everyone thought of a lot of ways, but in the end they could only face the ending of lack of recovery. The lioness would die from two situations: infection or starvation. It was so badly wounded that it could not eat, even if it could withstand the infection of the wound. Looking at the skinny appearance, it can last for a day or two at most.


    "Damn poachers!" said Catherine.


    Darwin shook his head and looked up at everyone: "Maybe we can make it easier."


    "Shoot?" An Feng asked, and everyone nodded.


    An Feng looked at the miserable appearance of the lioness. Living is also a kind of torture, so it is better to give it a happy life silently.


    "That''s it." Bazel turned his head and said, "Matthew, bring the camera, record the environment and time, and prepare to report it later."


    "I don''t want to read it." Catherine turned away.


    An Feng stayed where he was and looked at it. Under the camera and Darwin''s narration, everyone ended its life.


    After the gunshots, there was a lot of regret, and I returned to the same place relatively silently. An Feng looked up at the sky, and the vultures were still circling. He thought they were aiming at the lioness here, but no, they were in the wrong position. An Feng called Darwin in front: "Do you see where the vultures are going to move?"


    Darwin looked at the sky and pointed to a sparse forest in front of him: "That direction!"


    Bazel said: "A place with vultures means death. Poachers may have appeared here recently. Let''s follow up and see, maybe there are other discoveries."

 Chapter 228： Fierce battle against poachers【Third watch】

    Chapter 228 Fierce battle against poachers


    (732 votes, 712 votes forgot to mark last time)


    ��


    The convoy left the shallow lake and drove into a green grassy forest.


    However, in East Africa, the concept of woods is also sparse, with a few trees far apart, except that they are close to the water source and the green grass is relatively lush, but this is still a flat land with no end in sight. The scorching sun was high and the heat was unbearable. On the way to drive, An Feng sat back and turned on the air conditioner.


    Following the guide car, I found many wheel marks on the road, some new and some old. Everyone was communicating on the radio. Darwin said that they hadn��t taken this road recently, and the security guards in the reserve hadn��t been there. They walked on the other side. In this way, there may be outsiders here, not just once.


    Ten minutes later, the convoy stopped, and a rancid smell filled the air.


    "It''s an elephant!" Darwin, who was sitting in the guide car, realized, "Go and have a look!"


    Smelling the pungent stench, everyone pulled up their face towels to cover their noses. When the convoy arrived at the place Darwin mentioned, two huge black creatures fell to the ground, their flesh already rotten. , a group of vultures were happily pecking at the corpse, the scene was disgusting.


    "Poachers did it!" Darwin concluded. Everyone looked at the elephant''s corpse. Half of its face had been cut off. The white ivory had long since disappeared, leaving only two huge corpses rotting and smelling. The ground was covered with blood-stained mud. The scene was bloody.


    "There are no wild animals around, everyone can get out of the car!" Bazel said.


    Everyone got out of the car and came to the two elephant corpses with their noses covered. Joanna frowned at the scene, and Catherine followed her. Cut off the face, instead of anesthetizing them, just take the ivory?"


    Bazel explained to her: "Because of the structure of the elephant''s skull, the roots of the ivory are buried deep under the eye sockets. In order to get the most valuable whole ivory, poachers usually use saws and axes to chop off half of the face. As for paralyzing and taking the ivory, that is of little value."


    Darwin said to a black security guard in the team: "Report to the Animal Protection Bureau and let them send someone to investigate."


    The black security guard returned to the car and began to contact the local protection department.


    An Feng asked Darwin: "This is a private park, and poaching is so serious?"


    Darwin shook his head: "No, this is the first case this year. In the past, there were security guards patrolling around, and poachers or strangers were not allowed to come in casually, but the ivory business in Africa is very prosperous, including around Kenya and Tanzania, poachers emerge in endlessly , the equipment is no worse than that of the army.��


    Bazel walked over to look at the bullet marks on the elephant, and said with experience: "Other regions are under strict management, and they will find other places to attack. Look at this elephant, it''s just visible to the naked eye. There are more than a dozen bullet holes, and it is almost certain that they were fired with assault rifles, which is very rampant!"


    Matthew came back and said to everyone: "There are wheel marks around, and they are still fresh. It is estimated to be within three days, and there may be more nearby."


    "God bless them!" Darwin frowned. "Shall we go and see again? Poachers are smart now and will take advantage of the compassion of elephants."


    "How did you say it?" An Feng asked.


    Darwin glanced at him and explained: "According to observations, African elephants have some emotions similar to humans. They usually gather around the corpses of their dead companions at night to miss them. Poachers take advantage of this, and sit back and wait for rabbits. Struggles to kill the prey."


    "Then let''s go and have a look!" An Feng said.


    Everyone get in the car and follow along the wheel marks found nearby. There are many clues on the road, and it is clear that the poachers have developed to the point where they have no scruples.


    During the dull pursuit, An Feng checked the gun silently. He came out to hunt in a good mood, but he was completely destroyed by the scene created by the poachers. Everyone, including him, lost hunting The mood was replaced by a heavy feeling.


    The convoy was driving slowly, and the voice on the radio sounded: "There is the sound of a car starting nearby!"


    "Catch up and have a look!" Bazel''s voice came.


    Everyone regained their spirits, and this anger turned into motivation for pursuit. The car accelerated forward, and after passing through the woods, it came to another freshwater lake. Just a few hundred meters ahead of them, there were two cars, a pickup truck and a SUV. The pickup fell behind and kept cranking, but wouldn''t start.


    When the other party saw the convoy appear, they looked at each other for a few seconds, and then hurriedly moved things from the trailer of the pickup truck to the off-road vehicle. There were about seven or eight people, wearing grass-green clothes, a bit like military uniforms, and carrying Weapon, Bazel''s voice came: "Let the security go ahead!"


    After all, this is a poacher. In Africa, a wild land that lacks regulation, if you dare to kill beasts, you will naturally dare to kill.


    The security car passed them and drove forward, stuck its head out, and shouted through the loudspeaker, speaking in the local language, which I couldn''t understand, but the tone was serious, it should be to tell them to stop and check. The three cars behind were at full speed, and An Feng couldn''t help touching the gun.


    Matthew reminded: "Attention! Stay away!"


    As soon as he finished speaking, when the security car caught up, the exchange of fire happened suddenly.


    The crackling gunshots were like firecrackers during the Spring Festival. When the front of the car tilted and stopped immediately, the sound of bullets hitting the window and echoing on the car body was heard. The security guards on the car were shocked and dared not hide in the iron coffin. Li, jumped down quickly, and fired back at the opponent. Suddenly, there was a loud gunshot and bullets flew randomly.


    Matthew, who reacted the fastest, shouted on the radio: "Get out of here!"


    "Go!" An Feng patted the dazed driver. They were only two hundred meters away from the poachers, and the bullets had no eyes, which was very dangerous.


    The driver was shot by An Feng, so he quickly turned to catch up with the two cars in front. An Feng raised his nervous heart and turned his head to look out the window. Among the two sides of the exchange of fire, the poachers'' firepower was obviously stronger. Shooting while scrambling supplies in the back of the pickup truck. The gunshots were not coherent, but regular bursts, proving that these guys are not newbies with guns, but veterans with some experience.


    While holding his breath, An Feng heard the swishing sound of piercing the air, accompanied by broken glass and strange noises, the driver grunted, blood splashed on the car window, and he fell on the steering wheel and stopped moving. An Feng blinked his eyes , Another bullet hit the front hood, and dazzling sparks appeared with a "bang".


    An Feng''s biological brain was already sluggish, but the robotic brain made him instinctively reach out to touch the door on the other side, open it forcefully, and pushed Joanna out, shouting: "Don''t look up!" After jumping out, the car window crackled and shattered, and stray bullets seemed to be right above his head.


    After the accelerator was released, the car finally stopped in front of them. An Feng glanced at the surrounding area, and saw that it was very empty. He quickly pulled Joanna to the car, but the car stopped at a very bad position! It was facing the battlefield sideways, and almost any bullets from the opponent could hit them!


    After Joanna fell off the car, she heard the shout just as she was about to get up. She followed An Feng and jumped down, pulling her to the position of the front engine. At this time, don''t believe what is shown in the movie, a car door can block bullets - the bullets of an assault rifle are enough to give a car a refreshing crossover!


    The only place where bullets can be blocked is next to the engine.


    An Feng pulled her to that position, pressed her to squat down in front of the right front wheel, and looked up at the two cars in front. Although they stopped, they were a full forty to fifty meters away, and there was no shelter outside. The flying bullets swept the ground, splashing waves of dust, making it impossible to pass through.


    Everyone shouted from the vehicle''s radio: "Are you all right?"


    "I''ll help you cover!" Bazel''s voice brought hope.


    "Check your weapons! Cover fire!" Matthew was also methodical, "Women get out of the car and go to the car in front! Men stay!"


    At this dangerous moment, they did not choose to leave. Both cars stopped. Christina and her daughter Catherine in the rear car ran to the front car in a panic, while Bazel and Charlie in the front car came to support with guns. . As sporadic shots sounded, they began to return fire.


    An Feng felt his heart beating faster, his breathing was a little rough, his hands were shaking, and there was even some blood on his face, which seemed to be from the driver just now... He took a deep breath, and he kept telling himself, don''t be afraid at this time, you are afraid Not only you died, but also your wife!


    Joanna shook him: "Are you okay?"


    An Feng came back to his senses and supported her: "I''m fine, how about you?"


    "It''s okay!" But the panic was completely written on her face, and there was fear in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth and told herself to calm down.


    An Feng''s heart ached: "It''s okay, their target is not us��"


    With a "bang", the bullet hit the hood above his head, laughing at An Feng''s consolation... Feeling that the target was shot, Joanna couldn''t help crying out.


    And the trembling scream activated him, and the fear disappeared in that instant, only the voice echoed: "Don''t worry! You will be fine! I promise!"


    He picked up the gun, pushed the charging handle to push the bullet into the chamber, and pulled it down until the bullet was ready to fire. He was sitting on the right side of the front of the car, holding a gun sideways.


    There are two commonly used postures for shooting from a sitting position. One is to face the enemy head-on, with the **** to the shoulder. This is very stable, but it will expose most of the body. And An Feng adopted the second method, facing the enemy sideways, with his right arm resting on the **** of the gun, the barrel resting on the joint of his left hand, and turning his head to stare at the scope.


    There was a blur in the scope. An Feng patiently re-adjusted the magnification. According to the simple scale of the scope, he measured that the opponent was about 200 meters away from him. Several looming figures were clearly visible, and the flames and smoke that flickered frequently when the gun was fired exposed their position.


    An Feng aimed the reticle at an area where bullets were sprayed behind the bushes, breathed and pulled the trigger steadily, and with a bang, the aiming field of view flicked, and when the reticle returned to its original position, the grass covered the situation and could not see clearly. But the position was quiet, and then he pulled the trigger handle again, and the bullet casing jumped out of the gun chamber with heat, and the tip of his nose was filled with the smell of killing, but he pushed the bullet into the chamber surprisingly calmly.


    The gun was pointed at the second gunman who was squatting next to the pickup truck to cover his accomplice. This guy was obviously frightened by the silent bullets, and he never let go of the trigger with his finger. An Feng aimed at his head and shot. , but there was an error, blood sprayed from his shoulder, and he fell backwards.


    An Feng ejected the shell, the second person was enough to calibrate his trajectory, he loaded the third bullet, and shot the dazed guy holding the corn bag to the bottom of the car. The world suddenly quieted down, and the other party panicked looking for the direction of the bullet, and fear gradually occupied their bodies and minds.


    In the dullness, a guy appeared with his waist down. He dragged his companions on the ground and wanted to retreat. An Feng gritted his teeth. He thanked them for their friendship. The gift was a bullet of burning anger, which opened his skull from behind. And the body missing half of the head took a few steps forward before falling down.


    When he was cornered, killing was as simple as breathing... Even during the whole process, he didn''t even change his breathing significantly. When the poacher was scared by the sniper, and the bullets swept around but couldn''t scare the opponent away, he gave up the pickup. The thing behind, turned and got on the off-road vehicle.


    An Feng saw the car leaving, with the last bullet in the gun chamber, he leaned on the hood, aimed at the wide wheel of the off-road vehicle, held his breath, and pulled the trigger again, unable to see where the bullet hit , but the off-road vehicle in the scope was crooked and crashed into a tree.


    The whole process took no more than three minutes, and the situation took a turn for the worse. After the gunfire on the opposite side stopped, the two vehicles of Bazel and Matthew also chased after them and shot at the off-road vehicle opposite to provide them with cover. After An Feng finished the whole shooting mission, he breathed a long sigh of relief, threw away the gun and pulled Joanna up, and looked her up and down: "Are you all right? Do you feel any pain?"


    "I''m fine!" Joanna hugged him tremblingly.


    An Feng patted her on the back lightly, his mind was blank, he couldn''t even recall the scene just now, mixed with fear and anger, and the desire to survive, between retreating and advancing, he gave himself a chance to stage a reversal The shooting of the situation, now thinking about it, I only feel tired.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 229： follow-up

    Chapter 229 follow-up


    This encounter came suddenly and ended abruptly.


    A few minutes before and after, everyone experienced scenes from calm to chaos, from survival to death. An Feng stepped forward, not only saving himself, but also giving life to the four security guards who were trapped in front by bullets. He couldn''t withstand the fierce firepower, and was beaten so hard that he couldn''t lift his head.


    The off-road vehicle crashed into a tree, and three black poachers jumped off. Faced with guns several times larger than them, and the terrifying sniper just now, the only option was to throw the gun and surrender. Matthew stared at them and called security on the comm channel, while Bazel brought someone over.


    Before passing, Bazel shouted towards An Feng: "Attention! We have passed!"


    "Understood!" An Feng said loudly while hiding behind the car.


    Bazel, his son, and a guide rushed forward, surrounded by two companions with guns watching the front, ready to fire at any time for defense.


    "Are you all right?" The three of Bazel bent down and ran to their side. Looking at the car window that was sprayed red with blood, they knew that something was wrong.


    "We''re fine, but the driver may be in danger!" An Feng pointed to the driver inside. He wasn''t dead, but he was lying on the steering wheel and breathing weakly.


    "It''s too bad! We don''t have tools... Go up and help him stop the bleeding and press his wound!" Bazel ordered the guide, then turned to his son Charlie and said, "You gather the ladies and leave in a car. We stay to clean up these guys, understand?"


    Charlie is still very young, and the fierce exchange of fire just now made him a little dazed.


    "Did you hear that?" Bazel asked him loudly.


    "Understood!" Charlie reacted with a shock, and repeated: "I will **** the ladies to the car, get out of here, and look for support!"


    Bazel looked at him: "Yes, that''s it! Look into my eyes, don''t be afraid, show your courage! This is just a challenge!"


    "Yes, I can do it!" Charlie clenched the shotgun in his hand and said to Joanna, "Please follow me!"


    Joanna looked at An Feng, and he nodded: "Follow him, it''s not safe here!"


    "You must come back!" She pulled him.


    "I will! I promise!" An Feng pushed her to Charlie, picked up the gun on the ground, and looked ahead: "Are you sure they really surrendered?"


    "Not sure." Bazel didn''t relax, put the gun on the hood, and said at the same time: "Charlie, get ready, bend down and rush over, just leave and don''t wait for us!"


    "Okay." Charlie nodded.


    "Go!" Bazel ordered, Charlie took Joanna''s arm, bent down and ran across the road that had been visited by bullets several times, and safely arrived in front of the second off-road vehicle. At a glance, she was sent to the back seat, followed the car to start, and left soon.


    Now only males are left.


    Bazel observed the three poachers, and said in his mouth: "I can''t guarantee that they still have any weapons on them, someone needs to control them! Bruce, try to contact Matthew!"


    "Okay." An Feng opened the door, the driver in the driver''s seat was already unconscious, and the bullet hit his neck, but there was really no way to treat the serious gunshot wound, so he could only press it with his hands. An Feng sighed, and used the radio to contact the other party: "Matthew, can you hear me?"


    "I''m here, Bruce." Matthew''s voice came.


    "How are the security guards? Can they act?" An Feng asked.


    "Three were wounded, and one was about to lose courage. It was useless." Matthew said, perhaps because of his military service, his tone was very calm for a while.


    "How to control poachers?" An Feng asked, he had absolutely no experience in receiving captives.


    "Two options, shoot them directly; or let them take off their clothes!" Matthew said, "Fortunately, we happen to have someone who is familiar with the local language."


    Bazel obviously heard the plan, he said: "Catch the living!"


    "OK!"


    After a while, the local language came out from the loudspeaker. The guys in An Feng''s scope looked at each other, hesitating, and he had already put his finger on the trigger. Take their lives just as before.


    But after Matthew shot into the sky, people began to take off their clothes, followed by his accomplices, and after they were stripped, they came with their hands held high. Everyone did not take it lightly. After all, among the four people who fell down just now, only one was confirmed to be dead, and the other circumstances were unknown.


    The three naked black men came, and Matthew asked the guide to take out the spare tow rope of the off-road vehicle, and **** their hands and feet. At this time, the sound of a helicopter finally came from overhead. An Feng raised his head, and a plane with an unknown model flew over his head, and the airflow blew up smoke and dust on the ground.


    "It''s a plane in the protection zone!" Bazel said happily.


    After the helicopter circled several times, two more off-road vehicles filled with government soldiers arrived, and a group of soldiers wearing military uniforms and holding AK-47s came down. After one of the officers talked with Matthew over there, two doctors immediately The guy who looked like came to check the driver who was shot.


    Following, a group of heavily armed soldiers stepped forward to check under cover, and soon, they sent a signal: safe.


    Bazel put away his gun: "It''s safe, do you want to take a look?"


    An Feng nodded mysteriously: "Okay."


    Then he went up with them, it didn''t seem so good, An Feng saw two government soldiers vomiting with their backs to the pickup truck, he was in a tense mood just now, his mind was full of thoughts of letting himself and Joanna live, completely There is no extra room for thinking, but the thinking is extremely active now.


    Bazel, who was walking in front, took a glance and turned back to ask An Feng not to look, but the sharp-eyed An Feng still saw the guy lying next to the pickup with half of his head missing. The surrounding ground and the car were all red and white Mixed jelly and jet-like blood, accompanied by a strong fishy smell.


    An Feng looked at it for two seconds, felt nauseated for a while, and turned around decisively not to look at it again.


    Matthew came with a gun in his arms and looked at it with a few bold soldiers. There was nothing unusual about him. He also said a few words about the way of shooting. Among the four people shot by An Feng, one of his skulls was blown off by a bullet. Death, three people were injured, the most serious was hit in the stomach, life and death are uncertain.


    The leading officer did not pity them: "Poachers! Damn it!"


    The other soldiers also looked like they deserved it, showing no mercy to these poachers. Soon, the soldiers moved out several bags from the trunks of the pickup trucks and off-road vehicles, all of which were blood-stained ivory tusks, most of which were intact, and the largest one weighed at least 40 to 50 kilograms.


    An Feng shifted his gaze to look at the seized ivory. The number was not very large, about a dozen. Taking two as an elephant, at least eight elephants died in their hands. According to the officer, the gang were habitual offenders and must have had ivory hidden elsewhere.


    Things were in the finishing touches, An Feng didn''t want to stay longer, Matthew glanced at him, and gave Bazel a wink, and they went back together. An Feng was silent on the way, he tried his best not to think too much, but his mind was full of fuzzy brains and **** scenes.


    Matthew looked at him and said, "Bruce, thank you for saving us. If you didn''t take action, we might have more casualties."


    An Feng forced a smile.


    "Don''t blame yourself. If you don''t shoot, maybe one of us will fall, that is Joanna." Matthew continued.


    "I know." An Feng said.


    "Relax, you are actually a hero." Bazel also patted him on the shoulder.


    Backing in the car, Matthew dug out a bottle of drink and handed it to An Feng.


    He shook his head, and Matthew''s tone was undeniable: "Drink it, the sugar will help you calm down!"


    An Feng took the drink, unscrewed the lid and took a few sips. Bazel started the car and swayed back. When he arrived at the hotel, the sun was almost setting. The women were waiting for them. Seeing their husbands coming back, they all breathed a sigh of relief, hugged or kissed, and thanked God.


    They started discussing what happened just now, obviously they all recovered from the shock. After all, the ladies didn''t witness the **** process, only heard the gunshots. The more serious one was Joanna, who felt the tension of the bullet hitting her body, the windshield splashed with blood, and the stray bullet flying overhead.


    But she is very strong, and her complexion has recovered.


    An Feng didn''t want to discuss what happened just now. He was absent from dinner and couldn''t eat, so he went back to his room by himself.


    Joanna looked at his back, and Matthew said to him: "Don''t worry, he''s a good guy, give him some space, and then give him some warmth."


    Joanna nodded.


    Soon, some representatives of the army and the government came to understand the whole process of the matter with them, and wanted to meet An Feng.


    Bazel refused: "I''m afraid not now, give this kid some space to think, he needs to rest. I think it''s ok, come again."


    Bazel''s tone was very calm, but he couldn''t deny it.


    None of the military officers or government officials at the scene dared to disobey this rich British businessman with a deep background. They expressed their attitude politely: "We have no other purpose, just want to express our gratitude to him. From a personal standpoint , we have no objection to this behavior."


    Bazel nodded, and they left with interest.


    ��


    Joanna returned to the room after having a simple dinner. An Feng wondered, "Why so fast?"


    "I''m full." She walked over and wanted to hug him automatically.


    An Feng hugged her, Joanna put her arms around his neck, and said softly: "You know everyone thinks you are the hero who saved them."


    An Feng said: "Of course, I have always enjoyed the admiration of others."


    "No matter what, I will support you!" Joanna said, looking at him: "You must be very tired, go and rest for a while, I will accompany you!"


    An Feng wanted to refuse, but he was really tired, so he lay down on the bed.


    He didn''t know what to say, unlike the panic and fear depicted in film and television publications, to some extent, if this kind of thing happened again, threatening Joanna, he could do anything...but it wasn''t easy enough for a few hours He just exploded a person''s head before, but now he can chat and laugh.


    Cuddled her to sleep for a while, got hungry, and got up when I couldn��t stand it anymore. The temperature was low at night, so I covered her with a blanket, and went out when I heard voices outside. It was not too late, the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel was still open, and several tourists were chatting about their travel experiences.


    An Feng sat down and asked the waiter to order some food and a glass of whiskey.


    The wine was served first, took a sip, and a person sat down opposite, An Feng raised his head, surprised: "Bazel, why are you still up?"


    "Just now I went to do some business and chatted with people from the government." Bazel said, calling the waiter over, and also ordered a glass of wine.


    "How''s the matter?" An Feng asked.


    "The local government is interrogating those who surrendered." Bazel said.


    "I want to ask the specific people." An Feng said.


    Bazel sighed: "The driver left on the way to the hospital, and the other three security guards were not seriously injured. The poacher who was shot in the stomach was dead when the doctor arrived, and the one who was shot in the shoulder lost a lot of blood Also died��don��t think too much, the ending of the last two is not caused by you.��


    "Do I need to make a record?" An Feng asked.


    Bazel said: "I''ll help you arrange it, but it''s not too particular here, and you have merit, even if you don''t do anything, everyone won''t mind. The matter will spread tomorrow. Just now I heard those security guards and soldiers talk about it." I read some ''yellow death'' stories, which are quite interesting, maybe you should listen to them tomorrow, and you will feel that you have suddenly become a lot stronger, and you are full of righteous cells!"


    An Feng smiled: "This is finally a good treatment for a hero!"

 Chapter 230： big card hunter

    Chapter 230 Ace Hunter


    Actually, An Feng''s discomfort is caused by physiology, not psychology. It''s like going to a slaughterhouse, it will cause some physical discomfort. In terms of psychology, he has almost no burden. If there is a threat to her next time, he will still take up arms and fight back without hesitation.


    It may also be machismo at work, but he thinks that if he can''t even protect the woman in his arms, then life is meaningless. The psychological impact is long-term, but the physical impact... After a hungry meal, it tastes good. The next day An Feng reappeared in good spirits.


    Bazel called everyone together in the hall. He said: "The government is sending people to inspect the surrounding area and hunt down poachers, so our hunting activities are temporarily canceled. In addition to hunting, the natural and cultural landscape is also worth seeing. Serengeti is a sacred place for watching wild animals."


    ��We plan to drive to visit the Serengeti National Park in the morning, and then go to the Maasai village in the afternoon to watch a rare hunting activity.��


    After everyone prepares their equipment, the convoy starts.


    There are still four cars for this trip, but Anfeng��s car has been replaced yesterday, and it is also a modified Wrangler, which is always good for off-roading. There are a total of five Wranglers and three pickups in the reserve, which is just enough for now. We headed north along the road, all the way to the Serengeti.


    National parks in Africa are actually a large area where wild animals live. Serengeti is one of them, and it is extremely rich in species.


    During the visit, An Feng felt that they did not go to see the animals, but showed them to them. You see, in civilized countries, everyone is free to go to the zoo to see animals in cages, but in Africa, animals are free to look at people locked in cars.


    Isn��t this for animals?


    There are many tourists on the road, most of them are from Europe and America, and most of them are Americans. Everyone drives slowly on the road, as long as you are careful enough, there are animals everywhere, such as leisurely zebras, lurking cheetahs, and playful monkeys. The animal kingdom is by no means in vain.


    Following the other tourists'' convoy, they walked for a while. Soon, someone on the radio found the lion. An Feng and Joanna stood up and observed with a telescope. In the distance, there was a male lion with a thick mane. The four or five lionesses approached and used the cover of the car to move forward.


    The lion may have gotten used to this group of strange creatures that can be seen but not eaten in a cage, so they are not surprised by them and just ignore them. The car was parked on the side of the road, and the male lion led his lioness by the side arrogantly, almost touching them with his hands.


    "Their target is the buffalo herd over there!" An Feng pointed in another direction. If they attacked from the front, the lions would definitely be exposed.


    But the lions cleverly used the cover of the car. The tourists all raised their cameras and clicked. The mighty lion passed by them, and then lay down lazily. It was observing the herd of cattle having fun, there were at least thirty or forty of them, scattered around drinking water, and there were guards.


    After spending a few minutes patiently, the male lion climbed up. He had already found several cows that had fallen behind. Almost instantly, he launched a charge, and the lioness followed him very cooperatively. The group of lions rushed to the buffalo. In front of the group, this group of dark, grumpy creatures also found a natural enemy.


    But buffaloes are not vulnerable. They are not even afraid of lions. A dozen or so buffaloes gathered together and charged towards the lions under the leadership of a bull. Everyone did not blink their eyes. Just when they were expecting a strong confrontation At that time, the lion was the first to turn around and run away!


    The lioness who rushed up was scattered by the frenzied herd of cows in two or three strokes, and helplessly avoided the herd, while the fastest male lion looked back at its harem, unable to tell what expression it was... Anyway, the tourists watching were either stunned or burst into laughter, An Feng said speechlessly: "Lion King, what about your integrity?"


    Joanna is also very happy, this is more funny than a family... The following situation proves this even more. The hunting led by the lion is always powerless. The two gangs are arguing non-stop. Cooling off in the shade, the lioness had no choice but to pant.


    It is estimated that the lions will not gain anything in the morning, so everyone left.


    The animals on the road are so complex that any zoo is less than one-tenth of the level, and they are all natural and wild. There are countless wildebeest, zebra, wildebeest or elephant herds, which are dazzling to see. Besides the wild, There are also some very dumbfounding things.


    For example, when passing through the woods, everyone observed the group of baboons above their heads, and the long-faced baboons also had a lot of trouble. One of the male baboon actually faced the camera, masturbating as if no one else was there��and even harassed a female baboon next to him. The baboons took the baby and tried to prevent it from succeeding.


    "This little pervert!" Joanna laughed.


    An Feng clicked a picture of it playing with Ding Ding. There are many creatures in the prairie, and it takes experience and carefulness to discover the wonderful ones. For example, a leopard sleeping on a sausage tree. If it weren��t for the sharp-eyed guide who spotted its drooping tail, I really couldn��t see the trace of this guy. .


    The convoy quietly stopped below, and everyone looked at the leopard sleeping soundly in a tree more than ten meters high. An Feng saw that there were not many branches at the bottom of the tree, and it was really great to be able to climb up. So it is not safe to hide in trees in Africa, and super-climbing leopards can easily poke your back door.


    The weather was very hot, the car hid in the shade of the trees to enjoy the cool, watched the leopards sleeping late, passed by some gazelles and wildebeests nearby, and the leopards didn''t even hear about it, and some even passed under the trees. With the characteristics of leopards, it was completely It is possible to jump down to raid, but again the chance to feast is lost.


    A group of Pumbaa (warthogs) strolled over, dark, with long faces, sharp and curved tusks raised, passing lazily below, hiding from the sun for a while, and then one of them was happy After farting, the sound caught the leopard''s attention, and it woke up.


    Seeing the lazy guy wake up, everyone''s spirits also came.


    The leopard hunting Peng Peng is quite interesting. Unlike lions that directly kill Peng Peng, leopards have to be very careful about Peng Peng''s fangs, and they focus on outsmarting, and they may suffer losses when facing the enemy head-on��this may be a young leopard that fell from the tree. Just follow up.


    The Peng Peng family found the natural enemy, and immediately stood up, facing the leopard with a big ugly face and sharp fangs, with an arrogant expression and an attitude of "you can do it if you want it". However, the leopard also made troubles. It failed to succeed in several attacks, and was almost stabbed by the sharp fangs. The fight with Peng Pengdu caused injuries all over his body.


    "This is the price of being young and vigorous." An Feng looked at the leaving Hua Bao and said, Peng Peng won the victory, but he also ran away timidly.


    "With this experience, it will be smart next time." Joanna has great confidence in the leopard.


    After a round of sightseeing, everyone came to the Engelo Crater, which is a huge crater with a diameter of about 20 kilometers. There are more than two million wild animals living under the crater. It is an excellent viewing area, and There are inns and hotels nearby, so you can rest and adjust comfortably.


    After watching the animals all morning, they returned to the camp to rest.


    In the afternoon, they drove to the Arusha area in the east. Their second purpose today was to experience humanities.


    When it comes to hunters on the African grasslands, lions and leopards are the easiest to think of, but there is also a saying: When lions smell the smell of Masai, they will choose to back down. This time everyone is going to visit the Maasai village, the legendary ace hunter on the African savannah.


    On the way to drive, Bazel talked about the Maasai: "They have a rule that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Every Maasai needs to hunt a male lion for the coming-of-age ceremony. The tool is only a spear, a pair of In a fight, life and death are at the moment of thought, and he can be called the most stalwart hunter."


    After hearing this, An Feng felt that the coming-of-age ceremony of the Maasai people did not follow the attitude of "the lion will not die, but I will die"?


    Then Bazel went on to say: "But as the government has stepped up efforts to protect wild animals, this custom of the Maasai people has slowly changed. The glory days of hunting lions alone have passed, and some of them even joined anti-poaching organizations. They go to guard every year. Today we are lucky to have the permission of the local government, and the Maasai are going to hold a collective hunting ceremony, and the target may be hippopotamus.��


    From Bazel��s words, the hunting tools of the Maasai are very simple, such as spears or stones, and the objects they hunt are not only lions, but also leopards, zebras, bison, elephants, hippos... almost nothing they can��t conquer beasts of prey, and the tools are primitive spears.


    This made them look forward to meeting this group of "black death".


    ��


    More than an hour later, they came to the Maasai village.


    Looking out of the window, the Maasai are not strong and burly as Spartans, but thin and tall with long legs. Most of them are wearing red robes, some with a little blue in the red robes. The men wear their hair with earrings, while the women have their heads shaved. The senior old men walk leisurely with dog sticks in their hands.


    The living environment of the Maasai people gave them the feeling of being backward and dilapidated, but they were very enthusiastic. When they came over, there was a row of welcoming Maasai people outside the village. As soon as the tourist team approached, they kept jumping and jumping in place��Masai A welcome custom of jumping in place.


    Bazel waved to everyone: "Join the team quickly, and compare with them who can jump higher."


    Although it is a bit weird, but respecting the customs, everyone still joins the team of bouncing and bouncing. Africans are more talented in rhythm. This side takes off and sings. If you let outsiders see it, it''s just a group of tourists and a bunch of strange people in red robes jumping around and going crazy.


    Finally everyone was tired from jumping and started to enter the village.


    "Look at their ears!" Catherine looked curiously at the ears of the Maasai men around them. All of them were exaggeratedly big ear holes that could pass through fists.


    Indeed, without exaggeration, the Maasai are said to measure status and beauty by the size of their pierced ears.


    "Can I take a photo?" Joanna asked Bazel.


    "It''s okay, the visit fee and activity fee have been paid just now." Bazel said. An Feng saw that he gave a lot of money just now. The Maasai people didn''t take pictures at first, but after connecting with civilized society, they began to understand that making money is much easier than hunting wild animals.


    The village leader gathered the villagers to perform a stunt of drilling wood and using donkey dung to make fire for the guests. Everyone watched patiently under the sun. In fact, animal dung is a treasure in the eyes of Maasai people. Donkey dung can be used to make fire, elephant dung is used to repel mosquitoes, and cow dung...is used to build houses.


    An Feng took a look at their dark house, and it was really awesome.


    But according to Bazel, these are the parts that ordinary tourists can visit, and the following group hunting scene, you have to spend some money and have some connections to be allowed to watch. It is also the most exciting, and you will experience how the ace hunter in Africa uses javelins to hunt and kill wild animals.

 Chapter 231： ivory

    Chapter 231 Ivory


    A local guide who is familiar with the Maasai language translated for them: "There are about 150 people in this Maasai village, and 30 young people have joined the anti-poaching activities. Private hunting grounds and national parks have given them jobs. Probably Be back in an hour."


    "What animal are they dealing with?" Matthew asked.


    The guide asked the leader, and then translated: "He said that two wounded hippos appeared near the village, threatening the safety of his people and cattle, and they could not be driven away, so he needed young warriors to kill the hippos. He also Said that this is the legal power given to them by the government to fight back."


    Because the hippopotamus is timid and short-tempered, its probability of hurting people is very high, even higher than that of lions, leopards and other beasts. Lions will stay away from humans, especially the Maasai people, but hippopotamuses think they are the best in the world and invade other people''s territory Not to mention, attacking humans.


    The Maasai don��t show their power, the hippo really treats them as sick cats.


    Everyone chatted under the translation of the guide. The Maasai people in this village are relatively civilized. Judging from the fact that they accept tourists and collect money every time, they have indeed learned the essence of a civilized society. But there are still some very traditional places, such as polygamy.


    Polygamy is very common in Africa. How many wives a Maasai can marry depends on how many cows they have in the family. Generally, ten cows can marry one wife. The leader Zama has forty cows, so he has four wives. He also proudly took them to visit the house he built with cow dung and mud. It was very dark and depressing inside. If you want to take a photo, you have to use a flash. It is hard to imagine how tall Maasai people can bear this environment. .


    During the chat, the village warrior returns.


    The Maasai people gave An Feng the impression that they are all tall. It is said that the average height is 1.9 meters, and their legs are very long. They are not those sissy long-legged Obamas. The dark muscles of the Maasai people show their bravery and agility. Before the hunting ceremony, they "drain strength".


    Commonly known as drinking cow blood.


    Cows are live cattle, and their blood is warm. They stabbed the cow with their sharp knives, knelt beside the cow and sucked the blood, thinking it was a sacred way to gain strength. The leader Zama suggested that they also drink it, but everyone politely refused. How many bacteria does this stuff have!


    More than 20 warriors changed into casual clothes and brought about a hundred "javelins". That is to say, it is made of wood, and the pointed end is a sharp iron piece. This is their most commonly used and traditional weapon. Each of them set out with two javelins. The location where the hippo invaded was just two kilometers away from the village.


    To be on the safe side, An Feng and the others drove there.


    According to Zama, several hippos have been driven away a few days ago, but two of them have been occupying this place, and they cannot be driven away, leaving them nowhere to fetch water. An Feng and the others are indeed lucky. Not everyone can see the Maasai hunting in this day and age.


    The two-kilometer journey was completed quickly.


    Zama pointed out to them the pool where the hippos lived. Surrounded by a piece of calf-green grass, a muddy pond disturbed by hippos appeared in front of them. Parking at a close distance, everyone climbed onto the roof of the car, sat on it with binoculars and cameras, and waited for the original scene.


    The Marseille Warriors are working on a plan. Hippos are as dangerous creatures as lions, and what is even more terrifying is that they have to face many changes in the water, so it took a few minutes to formulate a plan. The Maasai walked side by side slowly towards the pond, the javelins in their hands glowing coldly.


    Both hippopotamuses were floating on the water, basking in the sun leisurely, unaware of the approaching danger. Almost instantly, the first Maasai warrior threw the javelin in his hand. He was very powerful��the javelin was directly inserted into the Hippo''s back! Then, like an explosion, the Maasai people surrounded them in an instant, and threw more than a dozen javelins at the floating hippopotamus. Some missed, some hit the hippopotamus'' back and were bounced off, and some successfully stuck on it... the hippopotamus Instantly furious and tumbling, the surrounding mud and water splashed like rain. The empty-handed Maasai immediately retreated, followed by someone holding a javelin to make up for it. When the angle was right, he threw the javelin at the hippopotamus again.


    The scene is extremely intense and thrilling! The hippopotamus in the mud pool rolled, roared, and opened its terrifying **** mouth. The bold Masai people threw javelins at close range, almost one or two meters apart. Any mistake they would turn into a hippopotamus. minced meat.


    They backed up after throwing their javelins. They were very dexterous. No matter how the hippo rolled over or opened its mouth to bite, it was useless. The number of javelins on its body exceeded ten. Except for the initial burst, the bleeding and physical exertion gradually made it unable to hold on. Two more javelins were shot at him, and the hippo sank.


    But the hippopotamus on the other side was obviously very violent. Facing the intensive javelin attack, it got up from the muddy pond and rushed towards the crowd. Everyone retreated in unison, holding the javelin high and roaring. It was not inferior to the hippopotamus at all. After the hippo landed, its ability to move slowed down, and what gave people pressure was its mouth that was big enough to swallow a person, and the few thick teeth.


    The Masai people cooperated tacitly, retreated empty-handed, and stepped forward with javelins, all of which were thrust into the hippopotamus at close range. There were more javelins stabbing at it, and some bold Maasai people grabbed the javelins on it and poked it vigorously, and then a group of people surrounded it and stabbed it on the head. After a few hits, the hippopotamus died.


    Then the Maasai cheered, sang and danced around their prey. After four or five minutes, the two beasts, which were incomparable to ordinary people, died under the intensive javelin attack. To participate in the Olympics, the javelin throw must be very strong.


    Also running, Maasai people have long legs, flexible and fast.


    Among the cheers and dancing, the hunting ended.


    The Maasai''s hunting methods are very bloody, which has brought a lot of pressure from public opinion, but An Feng feels that this is Africa, and their way of survival for hundreds of years, if Africans also stand on the moral high ground and attack Westerners'' diet Ways, like the French take foie gras, would be interesting too.


    The tribal leader also invited them to stay and share the food, but since the cow blood in front of them was said to be a sacred power, it is estimated that the food is not much better, so they refused. While it was still early, I bid farewell to this primitive and fierce village and returned to a civilized society.


    ��


    The next morning, the local government notified Bazel of a news.


    The group of poachers was taken by a nest.


    An Feng heard what the black officials said. These guys are very fierce, armed poachers, and there are a lot of them. Last time An Feng sniped only a part of them. They often operate in Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania, not only for poaching, but also for poaching. Also killed several soldiers who found them.


    After a raid, they destroyed the poachers'' lair and confiscated more than 700 ivory tusks, with a total weight of more than 2.5 tons. In terms of black market value, it was more than two million US dollars, but this was only the "factory price" out of Africa. Poachers sell an ivory weighing 30 to 40 kilograms, usually for 500 to 2,000 U.S. dollars, and then leave Africa by smuggling and sell it to Asia��Asia is the region with the largest demand for ivory��and its value may be tens or hundreds of times After all, the orientals cannot resist these white and delicate temptations.


    Orientals love ivory, just as Westerners cannot resist the charm of diamonds, and countless **** deaths have occurred for profit. For diamonds, Africa suffered heavy casualties in the last century. Lion Rock (Sierra Leone)''s "keep long sleeves and keep short sleeves" is famous all over the world along with blood diamonds; and for ivory, it also makes the land of Africa suffer.


    The black officials said a lot. They specially invited the foreign tourists who discovered the poachers and captured them��that is, An Feng and the others to visit the government��s exhibition activities. They will show the world the ivory obtained by these poachers from slaughtering elephants. Call for more people to join the anti-poaching action.


    Anyway, the distance is not too far, and Bazel also has friendship with senior officials of the local government, so he participated in this exhibition. In the Serengeti National Park, government soldiers gathered the confiscated ivory in a small village, with journalists and news media present, as well as officials from the country.


    There were more security guards with guns behind, and the president of Tanzania also appeared. Everyone looked at the ivory all over the place. Because it was stained with blood and mud, it could no longer be seen that it was originally white and flawless, but after seeing so many The numbers are still outrageous.


    The activity lasted for a long time, An Feng curiously asked Bazel next to him: "How did the government deal with this batch of ivory?"


    "Under normal circumstances, after registration, they are sold collectively. It is useless to store these things. The sale can be exchanged for some money, which can be used in the protection of wild animals." Bazel said, glanced at An Feng, "Bruce , are you also interested in these ivory?"


    An Feng nodded, anyway, anyone who sells will sell, and a lot of the money earned is used in anti-poaching work, which can be regarded as the contribution of these dead elephants to their compatriots.


    Bazel said: "That''s no problem. I also want to collect one or two large ivory. We will talk to the president later and discuss it with him."


    Bazel is very important. After the special interview report, the president and his party returned to the hotel in the Serengeti to stay, and they also followed up to arrange a private meeting. President Hassan has no airs, is approachable, and especially thanked them for their contributions.


    Hassan said: "Without your help, we would not have tracked down this group of poachers, thank you, Mr. Sinclair, Mr. An."


    Both Sinclairs and an Andy are smiling.


    They talked about some ways to deal with ivory. Bazel promised to buy it at the market price, and will pay some extra money to donate to the anti-poaching foundation, so that the government can invest more in anti-poaching activities in Africa and save ivory. Endangered wild elephants.

 Chapter 232： What a joke!

    Chapter 232 What a joke!


    The communication with the President of Tanzania was very easy, and it may also be to save face for Bazel. They chatted for a long time, from Bazel''s investment in the conservation park in Africa, to their acquaintance and the assistance they provided. An Feng only learned about Bazel''s glorious deeds through the chat, but he could only blame him for being too low-key.


    Bazel is the kind of attitude that if I like it, I will do it, and what others think has nothing to do with me. Whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, he will not talk about it.


    They say goodbye to Hassan and go back to the hotel.


    An Feng took the time to dictate the whole incident to the local government, but the cause was not important. The reason they recorded was mostly out of curiosity, not cautious about the case... This country doesn''t pay much attention to it, and the reason is simple: the poachers are Bad, killing poachers is good.


    ��


    African holidays are not all about watching animals and driving out hunting. According to An Feng��s imagination, East Africa is the kind of withered yellow grassland full of animals, scorching sun, and endless, but on the last day of vacation, Bazel took them to A place that changed perceptions: Zanzibar.


    Zanzibar is a beautiful island off the coast of Tanzania. It is famous for planting lilacs. There are a lot of lilacs and other bright flowers on the island. There is no shortage of sunny beaches and clear and transparent oceans. Like a paradise.


    Everyone was sunbathing on the island, or walking together on the nearby beach. An Feng met local residents��three or four black children.


    They are very curious about the tourists, especially when the cameras in the hands of the tourists are aimed at them, as soon as the guys feel it, they twist and dance in the sun for a while. Not to mention, although there is no fixed routine, it has a good appearance, reflecting the style of the African land.


    In Zanzibar Island, the original and wild "Samba" was performed by four black bear children. The bear children moved their mouths to the music and enjoyed the attention of the camera. They didn''t feel stage fright at all. , A child even picked up a drink bottle on the ground and beat it like a tambourine. They have a strong desire for performance, and black people are naturally sensitive to the rhythm of music, and they infect other people by dancing.


    Charlie, Catherine and even Matthew were all making beats for them, and An Feng also followed along with the children''s original music. It was nothing special, but it was very fun, and the excitement also attracted the children next to them. They were also not to be outdone. Help foreigners show off their unique skills.


    The kids are playing like crazy and beat the beat with their slippers. If it wasn''t for the underdeveloped country, we might be able to form a band when we grow up. Everyone let go, as if returning to their silly childhood. Watching the performances of these brats, they are all vivid, like little monkeys.


    The joy and mischief of the bear children ignited the excitement on the beach. Before leaving, An Feng went to the local photo studio to print the photos of the performance just now and gave them to them, but he couldn��t think of anything else to give them. There are several large boards of bananas prepared by the small vendor to give away.


    The children had harvested a lot, and they held bananas to say goodbye to them on the coast.


    Everyone went back to pack their luggage and came to the capital Dodoma. According to the previous request, the other party selected some of the largest and most complete ivory for them. After washing with water, each ivory was very beautiful. The largest one was five Ten kilograms and nearly two meters long.


    An Feng chose two relatively good ones, about one meter long, and bought them at a high price of 150,000 US dollars, almost three times higher than the market price. Naturally, most of the money goes to charity, supporting local anti-poaching efforts. Their generosity also allowed the other to issue the most powerful proof.


    The international inspection of the whole ivory is very strict. If there is no sufficient proof of the source of the top-quality goods like An Feng, they will face a lot of inspections, but now the president has let it go and the minister has stamped it. Even if you want to pick a bone It is also impossible, at most the customs will pay some tax.


    After completing the formalities, I packed my things and got on the business jet that came to pick me up.


    On the departing plane, looking at the vast plain below, the legendary experience of these days came to an end. Everyone covered a layer of blankets, unfolded the seats, and had a good night''s sleep. After returning to the United States, the job that should work, the school that should go to school, the wild land is gradually going away.


    ��


    Back to San Rafael, they fell on the soft bed and had a good sleep.


    Returning to a civilized society, I can no longer experience the wonderful excitement in Africa, and the original beauty of being separated from civilization. Occasionally, I miss it when I think about it. Both the environment and people have become extremely simple, with no scheming, no hypocrisy, only the sincerity of helping hands at critical moments.


    Ever since they were hit by bullets that day, and Sinclair didn''t leave, he cherished this kind of friendship that can only be verified in critical moments.


    "Shall we go on another adventure when we have time?" Joanna turned over and looked at him.


    "Okay, as long as you have time." An Feng said, "But next time, you should be well prepared and use stronger sunscreen. Look, I''m already tanned."


    "Hey." Joanna pulled up the blanket to cover her sunburnt arm, which is not bad, and I heard that there are still tourists who were sunburned and entered the hospital.


    An Feng scratched the little tiger lying lazily on the ground: "I guess Xiaobai will grow up next time. If possible, I would like to take him to Africa."


    "Are you sure? It''s just a domesticated tiger!" Joanna looked at Xiaobai.


    "Don''t worry, you will be surprised when the time comes." An Feng said with a smile, domesticated tigers are naturally not good, but what if it is a comprehensive enhanced type?


    He is looking forward to the narrow encounter between tigers and other beasts on the African grasslands.


    And all this stems from his biotechnology.


    A few days after returning, An Feng took Xiaobai to the research center. The configuration of the potion was the most difficult and the most patient-consuming, but his interest kept him going, and the most advanced machine made his journey smooth... After the configuration was successful, An Feng carefully injected it into the little tiger.


    The first stage was a bit risky, An Feng had to observe it all the time.


    After spending five hours in fear, the tiger did not show any signs of deterioration, which proved that the first step had been taken. From now on, Xiaobai was no longer a simple Bengal tiger, but an evolutionary with a mutated gene, perhaps It can also change the evolution direction of tigers in the future.


    An Feng played with Xiaobai for a while, but he didn''t see him for a few days. He has grown up a lot, and his size is comparable to some medium and large dogs, but the cuteness still hasn''t disappeared. When it is in front of it, it will take the initiative to push people.


    Seeing that it was no different from usual, An Feng felt relieved. Genetic engineering is not easy. If the research center hadn''t been rich, purchased the most advanced machines, and had the absolutely precise technology in his mind, he wouldn''t have dared to do it recklessly. So far, though, the machine brain has been right.


    After going back, An Feng continued to arrange the second phase of medicine.


    But the progress of the machine brain made him uneasy. The restoration is already 49%, which feels infinitely close to 50%. In addition to the anticipation of the answer, there is also a little fear of the unknown. Until now, An Feng didn''t know why there were these things, and what was the purpose of their appearance.


    This has always been a mystery, and the longer it goes on, the weirder it gets.


    Just as he was thinking wildly, Joanna''s voice came from outside the yard: "Honey, quickly bring me a bottle of diet mineral water."


    "Wait a minute." An Feng went to find it... It is actually a bitter mineral water produced in the Czech Republic. It is said to have the effect of beautifying and slimming. Because of its scarcity, the price is staggering, and it is rare in the market. She ordered it through the VIP channel. Yes, monthly supply, direct air freight.


    He picked up the bottle and glass and walked out through the kitchen, still thinking about the strange information, feeling as if very close, he walked through the living room out to the yard, the afternoon sun fell on him, and for a split second, the machine The repair progress of the brain reaches 50%.


    At this moment, a feeling of powerlessness came to my heart, and my field of vision dimmed. I only had time to glance at Joanna. When my eyes went dark, my limbs became weak and I fell forward. My body lost consciousness, and my hearing gradually disappeared. The same happened, and slowly, Joanna''s voice moved away from him.


    ��


    I don''t know how long I slept this time.


    In the past, the biological brain was resting, and the machine brain was still working, but this time it is different. The biological brain and the machine brain shut down at the same time, and after waking up, they lie in a hospital bed. It is quite luxurious, with an exclusive room and a matching bathroom. , I don''t know if there is a living room outside, two-bedroom or three-bedroom...


    An Feng shook his head, thinking nonsense! The ward is empty now, and it��s already bright outside. I guess he��s been lying down for a while, but he still feels a little weak. Joanna always says he��s as strong as a tiger, but now he��s finally turned into a sick cat...


    "Quickly concentrate!" An Feng thought silently, recalling the whole process of the matter, the repair progress of the machine brain has reached 50%, this is a critical point, so... it needs to be restarted once, store the original information, and bring new, More expansive and vast content.


    The reason for this is...


    "I''m going to die?" An Feng felt unbelievable, continued to scroll down, and put his heart back.


    The thing is this: the future technology will cause the butterfly effect, the world will perish for various reasons, such as nuclear war, conventional war, meteorite hitting the earth, iceberg melting, doomsday virus, Nokia accidentally dropped in hand To the ground and smash through the earth...


    "What?" An Feng was speechless for a while. Even without these next-generation technologies, the earth will be destroyed sooner or later due to one of the above reasons, right?


    What does that have to do with me?


    The answer is��no.


    But the data of the machine brain is very certain: the earth will be destroyed. As for which way, the butterfly effect is at the left and right, and it can only be calculated based on An Feng''s behavior. For example, the probability of Nokia smashing through the earth is about one in a hundred billion, and the nuclear war is currently only about 3%. .


    It is not to say that Nokia cannot smash through the earth. In the case of the probability of quantum tunneling, it is normal to fall through the earth from a high altitude. If An Feng has this ability, compress its density to within its Schwarzschild radius , the Nokia black hole can destroy the earth...


    It��s too far away... After all, the machine brain wants to tell An Feng: the earth will be destroyed.


    The machine brain also has a solution. For example, An Feng showed his might and became a superman to save the earth... He doesn''t like red underwear! For example, to inform all human beings, to use the power of the collective... to reserve luxury beds in the mental hospital! For example, building a super spaceship and getting out of the sea of ??suffering as soon as possible... The difficulty is not ordinary.


    In short, the right to choose is entirely up to An Feng, and the machine brain is only responsible for informing him. As for what he likes to do, even sleeping late, basking in the sun and waiting to die is not bad��it saves the most effort. According to the current analysis, An Feng is lazy and has no ambitions. There is a 15% probability that he will bask in the sun and wait to die.


    "Go, what are you kidding!" An Feng was completely speechless, fell on the bed and stared at the ceiling depressedly, "It must be the wrong way for me to open it!"


    =======


    PS: In fact, Doomsday is a pit... The main purpose is to give the protagonist a direction to do things, otherwise it will appear that the subsequent development is too chaotic and scattered. .

 Chapter 233： very short of money

    Chapter 233 Very short of money


    An Feng raised his hand and squeezed his face, wanting to confirm if this was a dream... Why did such a funny thing happen to him? If the earth is destroyed, it will be destroyed. Why do the data of the machine brain tend to face disaster because of its appearance?


    Forget about war or something, but "meteorite hitting the earth" can also have something to do with yourself?


    The most hurtful thing is that the answer given by the machine brain is also extremely irresponsible, the kind that puts on your pants and leaves: Do you like to do it all at once? There are quite a lot of ways to avoid it, but there are natural disasters and man-made disasters in the end, and prevention must start from many aspects. After much deliberation, An Feng felt unreliable.


    The door of the ward opened, and Joanna, who came in, saw An Feng pinching her face in confusion, froze for a moment, and hurried over: "Honey, what are you doing?"


    An Feng let go of his hand, turned to look at her: "Hi."


    "Are you okay?" Joanna sat on the edge of the bed, holding his hand, with the concern on her face expressive.


    An Feng moved his head, Joanna helped him raise the pillow, An Feng looked at her: "It''s okay, I feel a little tired, just eat something."


    "The lunch is here, and it''s all what you like to eat." Joanna looked at him, "The doctor said you were overtired, so I''m really worried about you."


    "I''m fine." An Feng smiled, "How long have I been asleep?"


    "A day and a half." She sat aside and touched An Feng''s face, "Any other bad feelings?"


    "No." An Feng shook his head, and made a small request: "Lie beside me, okay?"


    "No problem." Joanna nodded, An Feng moved a little to the side, she fell asleep lying on her side, An Feng held her hand and put it on her chest.


    "I like your smell." An Feng bowed his head and kissed the back of her hand.


    Joanna said: "Sweet mouth."


    "Who made me love you." An Feng smiled and sighed again, "You said... If the world is about to be destroyed, what would you want to do first?"


    "With you," she said, without hesitation.


    An Feng smiled, and she asked, "What about you?"


    "I am the same, and you are the one I miss the most." He said, unable to imagine what would happen to her after he left... I hope everything is safe.


    Joanna kissed him lightly, satisfied with the answer.


    An Feng felt that it was necessary to make some preparations. If he was alone, he would not have so many thoughts. Life is short, so let''s enjoy ourselves in time. But now that he thinks about it, he has a wife, will have children in the future, and a bunch of family and friends . If the information about the machine brain is true, it must be a tragedy.


    It seems absurd, but An Feng dare not doubt the machine brain that never makes mistakes.


    But he doesn''t think he can change the world either. He wondered if there was any way to effectively prevent the crisis once and for all, but as the machine brain said, any behavior of his would lead to different results. Since the emergence of next-generation technology, the butterfly effect has appeared.


    It''s like...the disaster of a meteorite hitting the earth. Humans need powerful weapons to crush meteorites, but powerful weapons may also make human wars destructive; and without powerful weapons, it can avoid destructive wars, but they will die from the impact of meteorites.


    This forward or backward, is death... full of uncertainty everywhere.


    After An Feng thought about it, how to grasp the balance point is very important.


    And the most critical part, I am afraid, is on himself. The technology in his mind can bring about many changes, and with countless unknowns, after thinking about it, super technology is dangerous to anyone��because no one can. Only he can predict the future.


    The larger the scope of diffusion, the more complex the impact. If it is only concentrated on one point, the impact will be the smallest.


    The conclusion still has to be drawn by yourself.


    He discovered the crux of the matter. He is a lazy guy. He has no ambition to rule all mankind, nor does he have the ideal of benefiting the world, but he is the most suitable for doing this kind of thing, because he is difficult to be influenced by the outside world, and his purpose is simple enough. better implement the plan.


    But there are some surprises.


    For example, An Feng is now thinking about building a spaceship and bringing his family and friends with him. Whether you are hit by a meteorite or a nuclear war, it has nothing to do with him. Everyone gathers around the porthole and watches the blue earth erupt below. Dazzling rays of light, that is the ultimate destruction...


    The plan to escape is definitely the least impactful, but once on the spaceship, do you just live on it for the rest of your life? The earth is finished, and it is obviously impossible to go back. There is only endless space wandering, or building a base on the moon, living without water, until old age and death?


    He thought about it further, without the earth, how would he spend money in all directions? Who else can make clothes for his wife? Who are you going to show off your wealth to? Who should design the new sports car? How can I enjoy the sunny beach, hug my sister and lie in the sea breeze for an afternoon...


    This is more terrifying than the destruction of the earth!


    It is obviously an extremely bad plan, and it can only be used as the last irreversible backup plan. The best thing is to ensure the integrity of the planet, and only in this way can he spend money happily, flying in Europe, America and Africa, a house in the west, A beach enjoyment on the east side.


    ��


    An Feng treated this matter very calmly.


    Even if nothing can be changed in the end, he can still run away, but that is a bad idea. Without a natural livable and enjoyable environment, it is not what he wants. After eating a full meal, he recovered in the afternoon and went home regardless of the doctor''s observation advice.


    An Feng didn''t dare to examine them too much, in case they diagnosed someone with a physique that was different from ordinary people... He went back and tested the blood himself, and there was nothing special, neither Superman nor Hulk tendencies, so rest assured. Then he began to think about the future, which is too lazy.


    It would be too false to say that he should be labeled as saving the earth. Most of his starting point is for himself, he is not so noble, but there is a saying that "disasters the fish in the pond", it is like a nuclear war in Europe, even if the Americas are not affected, the final nuclear winter can kill human beings.


    Weighing the interests, it is better to keep the status quo��unless he can find a more suitable place. But the probability is much smaller than that of Nokia smashing through the earth. After much deliberation, it is obvious that the differences in human beings are difficult to cooperate with him to complete this plan, and the differences in outlook on life and values ??are too great.


    Even now An Feng tells them that the earth will be destroyed for some reason, more people are ridiculed and despised, and treat him as a lunatic. An Feng has no tendency to be abused, so what''s the use of talking about it? Noble? He never considered himself noble, so he planned to come quietly.


    Obviously, in the face of countless variables at present, it can be summed up in two ways: natural disasters and man-made disasters. In response to natural disasters, he can let robots withstand them, robot companies can store a large number of powerful robots and weapons, and research centers can develop many antiviral drugs or drugs to improve human physique; and man-made disasters, robots can put an end to wars and release them at critical moments. The people of the world are armed.


    The three directions of robotics, industry and biology have the ability to avoid natural disasters and man-made disasters.


    But there is also a very obvious problem: money.


    Don��t think about anything if you don��t have money. If you don��t have money, talk about those lofty and positive things... Even the Americans who claim to maintain world peace can��t do it. With An Feng''s current net worth and an annual salary of 3 billion, if he wants to change the world... 30 billion is difficult, 300 billion is considered.


    The simplest example, the cost of a multifunctional robot is one million. Obviously, to form a torrent of steel that resists aliens and unites earthlings, it needs at least an order of magnitude of 100,000, and the budget for this alone exceeds 100 billion. He can''t borrow money on the grounds of "maintaining world peace".


    Furthermore, building a spaceship may cost hundreds of billions. Even the cost of life-saving cards is so huge. It seems that the money on my body has encountered inflation, and it is worthless overnight. can not hear. All kinds of technological research and development are obviously the burning of tons of dollar bills.


    An Feng was lying on the deck chair basking in the sun, everything was difficult at the beginning.


    The way the curve saves the world is obvious. I used to think that I had the most money in the world, but now the retribution is coming. If he wants to enjoy such a leisurely life in the future, he must work harder to make money��and then spend more money crazily. This is absolutely true. Although the profits made by high-tech companies are high, the total amount is not much. At present, GP and future anti-cancer drugs make money. There are only two units. How much benefit can it generate?


    He has to own at least dozens of the most profitable companies among the world''s top 100 companies to be able to provide him with a steady stream of funds. Therefore, the money earned will be spent crazily to occupy more industries, and then use these industries to make more money, then spend it again, and then occupy more industries...


    An Feng took a bite of the apple and chewed: "Is it easy for me to save the world?"


    Since he is not actively masochistic, part of the money he plans to spend must be private, otherwise saving half of the earth will lose motivation. Who will be responsible? So when he has 10 billion, he can consider 20 to 3 billion for private consumption. When he has 100 billion, he can use 10 to 20 billion for private consumption. Anna bought all the luxuries... This kind of work with rewards is needed to make people persevere.


    After thinking about it, An Feng threw the apple he had bitten a few bites to Xiaobai. After he smelled it, he walked away disgusted... You see, the tiger costs US dollars!


    In the end, it has left the height of human existence and rises��no, descends to the level of how individuals have more money to consume. An Feng''s mind was turning and turning, there were a lot of ghost ideas, and none of them were too bad plans, and the funding for saving the earth was a highlight.


    It��s just that you have to spend a little time to sell your ideas. In the past, you spent money like running water, but now you have to spend money like a flood. You used to be local tyrants, but now you are super local tyrants. He wiped his mouth, turned and went back to the house, thinking that he would not be so resistant to work after thinking of the benefits he could get, and countless money was waiting for him.


    Thinking about it, I was a little excited.

 Chapter 234： bio drink

    Chapter 234 Bio-drinks


    Even if it was such a bad thing, An Feng''s second thought��it would take several times��allowed him to discover the hidden bright spot in it. Ordinary people must be admired from the bottom of their heads. What life pursuits and ideals have all become stumbling blocks on the road to saving the earth.


    An Feng is very sure of this, so don''t worry about these things, let''s talk about it after sleeping, and don''t rush for a while. According to the probability estimated by the machine brain, the next few years will be the calm before the storm... Maybe the method is appropriate If so, the storm will stop.


    Let��s talk about being anxious to death, and the beautiful wife staying alone in the vacant room? no no no! In this regard, he has learned the essence of the Italians, namely: "What is tomorrow for? Tomorrow is just a storage room, and all things that are not conducive to enjoyment at this moment can be thrown into this storage room, as long as the things in front of you are real." !"


    ��


    Xiaobai and Lily were having a good time in the yard, and a toy bone was enough to fascinate them. Later, when they were bored, they came to harass their sleeping master. The dog licked his hand with his tongue, and the little tiger rubbed his furry head. From this aspect, Xiaobai has learned the essence of being cute.


    "Aha!" An Feng woke up, hugged Xiaobai with both hands, and raised them up to block the sun, "Who taught you to be cute? Is it?"


    Wang Xingren wagged his tail, flatteringly asking for credit.


    After winding it fully, put it on the ground, and Xiaobai started... Lili picked up the bone and brought it to him. An Feng knew what it was going to do, so he picked it up and threw it out. Xiaobai, who was a step too late, bared his teeth and wanted to **** it, but Lily took advantage of her height and passed by it calmly, returned the spoils, and wagged her tail to please her.


    An Feng was thrown out again. This time he fell into the swimming pool, which made it more difficult, but the two guys were not to be outdone. They got used to the existence of the swimming pool, and they just jumped into the water and crawled forward. One step, but swam to the edge of the pool, but somehow got ashore.


    An Feng went to pick it up.


    Before he could react, Xiaobai also followed Lily''s example and shook his body, water splashed everywhere, and An Feng was hit all over his body... But it also proved from the side that the genetic technology was very successful, and Xiaobai inspired the ability to learn to imitate , and slowly form an instinct.


    But besides the cuteness of pet dogs, Xiaobai needs to learn more hunting skills. Can learn to use the sense of smell to track prey silently and silently.


    ��


    Dinner is spent under the perfect interpretation of the chef.


    Maybe Joanna was frightened that day, An Feng has become a treasure, this is not allowed, and he has to live according to the doctor''s instructions for a period of time, and when the situation stabilizes��Joanna rejected An Fengwan''s initiative to go to the The idea of ??sweeping the streets is that walking is too tiring.


    An Feng got into her arms happily: "It would be perfect if you knew these things in normal times."


    Joanna added: "We''ll talk about it when you''re better."


    An Feng smiled, and when he was restless in his arms, he was decisively stopped: "No! Indulging in **** will hurt your body, you have to restrain yourself!"


    "But you dress so sexy..." An Feng is very innocent.


    "It''s about exercising your willpower." She always has a reason.


    "I''m really fine." An Feng said helplessly, "Even if I come up ten times non-stop, I won''t fall, do you believe it?"


    "Okay, okay, ten times!" She nodded, looking at An Feng with concern, "I believe you can do it, but can you be more peaceful now?"


    An Feng flattened her mouth, she was coaxing herself like a child.


    Joanna shook An Feng, but he didn''t speak, and finally she gave in: "Then what do you want?"


    "Feeding milk!" He said cheekily.


    ��


    Life continued without restraint. After An Feng proved that he was as strong as ever, he got Joanna''s parole, got rid of the life of plush toys at home, and went to deal with some official duties��no! No matter what he does now, even going to the bathroom is a feat that affects the world!


    "I am high-spirited, with my head up and chest up, bang dang..." An Feng was wearing a white lab coat, humming, and walked into the laboratory, leaving the surprised faces of several experts passing by. What''s wrong with him recently? He is very motivated in everything he does, and has endless energy.


    An Feng''s secret is that he is energetic because of a drink.


    Produced in the laboratory, the technology comes from the future - it has not yet been put into production, so it is a three-no product, and only relevant personnel can enjoy the special offer. This was An Feng''s first drink at first, and although it passed the safety test, the experts in the research team always felt that he needed to be more cautious.


    But An Feng ignored them, just a couple of sips would be a bottle.


    As a result, they all drank it later. The safety of the product developed by themselves is clearer than anyone else, not to mention that it is diluted with water, and the concentration is less than 1% of the jelly. Even if there is any problem...just treat it as a biological experiment. . But once you drink it, you become addicted.


    It has the functions of relieving fatigue, enhancing resistance, etc. After a day of work, I have a bottle of it, and I feel a lot more energetic, and I don��t feel sleepy when I continue to work at night. But it is different from those stimulating drinks, it is mild to the human body and has no side effects. The natural effect is shocking.


    An Feng is well aware of the fundamentals. Bio-drinks can gradually improve human physique, the most important thing is to slow down aging, but due to the dose, it takes a long time to take effect, and relatively speaking, its anti-fatigue properties are very outstanding. In short, it has a great effect on human beings, not just as simple as a drink.


    Out of confidence in himself and technology, An Feng took the lead as a guinea pig, and then tested his blood every day. But taking him as a sample, it''s hard to see the difference, because this guy is as strong as a cow��if you switch to the data of other researchers, you can finally see obvious changes.


    Anfeng prepared two kinds of drinks, one is high concentration, the effect is very obvious, you can experience obvious changes in the body after two or three months of use, but the cost is slightly higher; the second is low concentration, commonly known as popular, large Some people can consume it, but the effect is slow and you have to persevere.


    Biopharmaceuticals have a strong core strength. Anfeng will learn from future beverage flavors, and finally complicate the steps and formulas. Some of them apply for patents, and the rest are commercial secrets, which are packaged and released to the market. But it has to pass the FDA''s food safety monitoring.


    The research work has come to an end, and it is time to officially let the new company take over. An Feng told John to think of a name in advance, and after thinking of hundreds of names, he finally named it "Bida". It sounds a bit like honey, and it is easy to think of sweet and delicious things.


    After listening to An Feng, who has a negative naming ability, several times, he didn''t have any good ideas, so he decided to be it.


    With the name, it is natural to choose the location of Bida Company. For beverage brands like this that need a certain amount of advertising to accumulate popularity, it is most convenient to set up in a big city, and the production workshop can be appropriately far away. As for the issue of security and confidentiality, An Feng is very relieved that it is not produced in one package.


    The beverage part is produced by the company, but the biological secret formula comes from the research center, and only they have this kind of purification process. Further down, the raw materials are processed by departments, and the process is relatively complicated, but separating the steps can improve the efficiency of manufacturing and keep confidentiality.


    Everyone made suggestions and finally decided to locate in Los Angeles.


    The name and transportation of the second largest city in the United States are both convenient, and An Feng considers interpersonal relationships, he can get along better in Texas or California, the two governors are friends with him, and the other two places are also the concentration of enterprises. Then go to other places to develop, some people are not familiar with the place.


    John is in charge of company location selection, while Julie from the research center is in charge of applying for the company.


    An Feng is naturally responsible for being lazy.


    He doesn''t consider partners for the time being. The two big families he is familiar with are currently very busy, and the beverage company may suffer serious losses in the early stage. He needs funds to do a lot of advertising, not only on TV, but also to name some sports events. Let the world know about this brand.


    Naturally, his opponent is neither Pepsi nor Coca-Cola, and the market value of tens of billions is far from enough.


    Because it is so powerful that it is like three meals a day. After people get used to it, the lack of it will feel uncomfortable. The world has a large population, and the consumption power is terrifying. As long as the marketing is done well, a terrifying monopoly will be formed sooner or later. At that time, if someone wants to cooperate again, they can sell at a higher price.


    An Feng needs funds most now. He has to spread out his plan, invest in more fields while he still has spare money in his pocket, so as to collect more funds, and then use the funds to invest... The ultimate goal is to accumulate wealth, to manufacture robots, or to avoid the end of the world spaceship.

 Chapter 235： The new consortium【3rd update】

    Chapter 235 New Consortium ��Third Update��


    (752 votes)


    ��


    But An Feng''s idea of ??starting a business independently was quickly interrupted, and his assistant team was targeted as soon as they started their operations. In fact, someone wanted to make a venture capital investment in his new company. The background was not small. The other party was said to be from the Morgan consortium and had a strong interest in An Feng''s new company.


    An Feng was surprised when he heard the name Morgan, how did they find him?


    Don��t blame him, he always thinks that he is just a rich man with a little money, but in the eyes of others, he is a venture capital target and a strange man who makes wealth.


    In addition, he is a core member of the consortium, a role that is steadily rising as a whole, and it is impossible not to be noticed. IBM, which is controlled by the Morgan consortium, has a lot of cooperation with GP. Naturally, it is not difficult to get to know An Feng. They kept proper attention and found business opportunities.


    Nowadays is no longer the era when consortiums travel alone. The development of science and technology has led to economic globalization. The era when a consortium controlled a large enterprise decades ago is gone. Now consortiums are interpenetrating and restricting each other. GP has capital injection from the Sinclair family, but it also has investment from Morgan.


    Information in the industry is still relatively circulating. Not only the Morgan consortium, but other big consortiums may also know his name. After all, offshore companies, split shares and other vest methods are all badly played by them. Calculating with your brain, you can know who has the highest share among them.


    After some connections, they got in touch with An Feng''s chief assistant.


    John Adams has broadened his horizons now. Perhaps a few years ago he would have been shocked by the name of the Morgan Consortium, but now he only treats an industry partner with a more knowledgeable attitude and a naturally stable mentality. He politely rejected the invitation for An Feng, saying that he had to notify him first.


    When An Feng received the call from John, he was training the little tiger with the hounds in the vineyard.


    He finally asked: "You mean the other person wants to talk to me?"


    "Yes sir, do you have time?" John asked.


    "The day after tomorrow, book me a seat in a coffee shop in Los Angeles." An Feng said, throwing out the bone in his hand, Xiao Bai excitedly chased after him.


    ��


    Strictly speaking, An Feng and them are competitors of the consortium, but the businessmen have no hatred, only interests, and the price is enough, so they can still get together. Although An Feng didn''t want to accept the venture capital investment��he was on his side if he wanted to come, but he still showed up on time to save the other party''s face.


    There are four people in total, An Feng and his assistant, and the other two.


    "Mr. An!" One of the handsome middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes smiled and stretched out his hand, "I''m Hunter, nice to meet you!"


    "Me too!" An Feng sat down after shaking hands, took off his sunglasses and waited for them to speak first. The three people present were all dressed formally, only he was wearing a shirt and jeans, a pair of outfits just returned from the beach, comfortable and casual. Bystanders saw that An Feng must be the boss.


    Hunter didn''t beat around the bush, he cut straight to the point: "Mr. An, we are very interested in your new company, and we know that you are currently working alone, and there are many constraints in terms of capital or other aspects. Are you interested?" Accept outside investment?"


    An Feng asked: "Do you know the industry the company is in?"


    Hunter smiled: "Mr. Adams and I have learned about the production of bio-drinks. In terms of the function and form of drinks, it has great potential, but unlike other high-tech products, its market depends on certain publicity. , the previous stage is very expensive.��


    An Feng thought about it for a while. It might not be as simple as it seems on the surface. They are afraid that they learned that the company''s technology is obtained from the research center, and the research center has repeatedly performed miracles, which made them intend to take risks. And to put it bluntly, venture capital is naturally an investment with both risks and returns.


    An Feng did not refuse outright, but said: "My plan is to register a capital of 100 million. If I accept the investment, how much can you contribute?"


    Hunter said: "If possible, we will hold the shares."


    An Feng smiled: "You are so funny!"


    Hunter also smiled: "From a business perspective, we naturally hope to take 49% of the shares and give about three times the investment."


    Three times the 49 million shares, it is only 140 million US dollars, and for Anfeng, Bida will be a brand that monopolizes the earth in the future, which is completely out of proportion. So he shook his head: "Mr. Hunter, you have a big appetite, and the asking price is very low. You were optimistic about it just now, but you are actually not sincere."


    Hunter said: "But it is different from a battery. There is no intuitive data to illustrate its value. We can only explore the way."


    An Feng nodded: "I agree, your concerns are justified, but I am very confident in my company. And you ask for too many shares, but you give too little funds, why don''t I ask for money from insiders, at least More than five times, more than ten times."


    Hunter said: "Of course, in normal times, these huge investments may not be too difficult, but Mr. An, you know that the consortium in Texas has recently encountered differences in funding and direction. At this time, it will not have much energy to care about you. side matters, and we are sincere."


    An Feng didn''t know about it. He glanced at John and nodded slightly.


    An Feng knew it in his heart, it seemed that he was too leisurely, and he didn''t know about this kind of thing inside. He said again: "Mr. Hunter, let me make another suggestion, 30% of the share, at least 500 million, don''t rush to answer, you go back and discuss it, and give my assistant an answer."


    The other party knew that An Feng was issuing an order to evict customers, so the price he offered was really confident, 16 times! With the current listing of some high-quality companies, the stock issue price is only a dozen or twenty dollars. An Feng''s asking price was still under the circumstances that the product was missing and the company had no hair.


    Even though he has repeatedly created miracles, Hunter still doesn''t think he is good at beverages. After all, he is in the electronics industry, and his scope is limited to graphene. For completely unfamiliar fields��at least they think so��he really can''t think of him. Where does great confidence come from.


    So Hunter has to seriously consider, such a large investment needs to be discussed by the members of the consortium. He left his business card and said goodbye politely.


    After the two left, An Feng asked, "What''s going on recently?"


    John said: "Things are very complicated, we have to start with the two consortiums in Texas one after the other."


    "Tell me, I have a lot of time." An Feng said.


    John changed to sit opposite him and said: "Actually, sir, the Texas consortium you belong to is different from the original Texas consortium involved in the oil and arms industry. Cut off the munitions and turn to high technology."


    An Feng has also learned that the Texas consortium is different from the current consortium. The former rose after World War II and was involved in everything from oil to arms to some banking industries. However, he is in a younger consortium whose members used to be A group formed after growing in different fields.


    As for the reason for the division is very complicated, in short, they are a group of very rich financial families, using their own advantages, a rapidly rising interest group, and joined by the old and huge oil family of Sinclair, their capital is very strong, so they can Get on your feet quickly.


    John said: "They are moving too fast, and there are shadows of other consortiums in many fields. Large consortiums must have reliable banks. Of course, American Express Company also has a banking department, but not all of them. The companies that control their shares It''s complicated, and it''s being acquired intensively."


    Amex has sold many businesses and departments over the past few years, such as selling the once popular business travel to Qatar, and the recent upward trend in market value must be due to the game of the consortium. An Feng felt that a qualified consortium must have its own bank.


    John continued: "Xin''s Energy is a traditional family business, and important positions are held by family members. Although this model is stable, it will make allies lack confidence."


    An Feng also knows this. It is indeed very rare for a non-listed company to get to this point, and the family business is running very well, with a reasonable debt ratio and huge profits. If it weren''t for the fact that they have a lot of cards, someone might have lobbied them to go public. Even the current allies also want a share.


    Naturally, if you want to form a consortium with close cooperation, it is definitely inappropriate to continue to use the family-style management method. The cohesion is not enough, and the sincerity is not enough. So according to John, at present everyone wants the Sinclair family to be frank and honest, and then seize the opportunity to win the shares of American Express.


    Only in this way can this emerging consortium be able to fully exert its strength, otherwise it will only face a situation where the individual is strong and the combination becomes weak. When 1+1 is less than 1, a lot of resources must be wasted. This is their current state. The Sinclair family is very strong, and Blueline is not weak, but because the cooperation is not deep enough, the so-called "strong alliance" ended up holding each other back.


    John doesn''t know much about the reason for the disagreement.


    An Feng simply asked them directly.


    No matter how the outside world speculates or infers other cases based on evidence, it is not enough for insiders to say a word. Bazel said that before the end of the presidential election, he will finalize the Texas consortium. They must have a reasonable order, otherwise everyone will hide from each other, and the future cooperation will not last long.


    The Blueline family also agrees. As far as democratic voting is concerned, it has reached a two-quarters approval ratio, and one more vote is needed to pass.


    What about the remaining key vote?


    An Feng thought about it and couldn''t think of it��it was him!


    He is one of the giants in the embryonic consortium. It has four major sources of funds, the Sinclair family, the Blueline family, and the Kaigua family, as well as small financial groups and other allies count as the fourth share. In terms of asset value, Sinclair was first, Brulen was second, and he was third.


    How much money Sinclair has is still a mystery, but Anfeng''s is easy to calculate, 51% of GP company, GP Energy and Electronics Conservative have 200 billion, but in terms of monopoly ability, ten years later It will exceed trillions; there is also a research center against the sky, with personal assets of 80 billion.


    As for the Blueline family, the investment losses in recent years have been huge. Except for the GP company making a bit of money, they were originally very strong, but their talents withered. Now they have helped an Anthony. I think he used to be in the auction house business... so far. The market value of assets barely reached the 100 billion level.


    If they can reach closer cooperation, it will be no problem for the consortium to rank among the top five. Regardless of how famous those big consortiums are, their actual value is probably hundreds of billions, and there are still declining ones, such as Citigroup, although its assets are close to Two trillion yuan, but most of them are non-performing assets, with a lot of liabilities and bad debts. The market value has fallen to tens of billions of embarrassing situations, and now it is only more than 100 billion in market value.


    So consortiums are not easy to mix nowadays, especially those that rely on the financial industry.


    Perhaps An Feng had little interest in the past, so he could make money without affecting him, but now he needs money very much. A consortium that can continuously produce "dollars" is more ideal. Therefore, he is very optimistic about the frank and in-depth cooperation, and he also voted for it.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 236： VCs

    Chapter 236 Venture Capital


    Later, An Feng also learned some inside information.


    The Sinclair family has been well-known since the beginning of the 20th century. The family business is very enjoyable and has accumulated huge funds. When the capital was the strongest, they had their own bank and prepared to operate across fields. Not good at closing the door, and concentrate on the energy field.


    After the 1980s and 1990s, Sinclair''s assets reached a considerable scale, and he was able to support the operation of the consortium. Both economic and political foundations were strong, so they tried the second time, but due to differences in family management concepts, Even if everyone cooperates well, they still can''t keep up with the rhythm of modern consortiums.


    If you want to continue to grow, you can only change, especially in the case of a godsend - Anfeng''s technology is the door to wealth opened for them, energy, chips or medicine, as long as the three aspects cooperate properly, they will develop into a giant is a breeze.


    According to internal statistics, 92% of the shares in GP are owned by the consortium, and GP also controls two super profitable subsidiaries. This is simply a money-making machine tailor-made for the consortium... After a few days of discussion, Everyone agreed to reach an agreement for close cooperation.


    In fact, it was mainly the Sinclair family who nodded, and others can talk about it...because the prosperity of the consortium largely depends on this family, whether it is money or contacts, as long as they are there, the foundation is strong enough. Only in this way can we develop at full speed without any worries.


    They have to get the American Express first. The consortium holding the financial group is a symbol, which means that the consortium can have a huge source of funds, and the internal circulation of funds is no longer a problem. Unlike other companies, when they have no money, they can only borrow money from the bank or raise funds from the society.


    This time, the Sinclair family invested more than 10 billion through several subordinate companies. With the market value of 100 billion, the Sinclair family acquired 10% of its shares. Together with the shares of other members of the consortium, it finally reached 50.5%. Belongs to consortium holdings. So far, the first step of expansion has been completed.


    The acquisition of AmEx also relieved the Blueline family, which owns 35% of Amex shares, and they turned around and were almost dragged to death. Fortunately, they stopped in time. After finishing these, it is the circulation of internal funds. As An Feng is a "personal family", all projects are not fortified against him.


    He took advantage of his power to look through everyone''s information for the simple purpose of wondering how much money they have, but for non-financial professionals, it is difficult to understand this pile of account books. Anyway, the total assets of the consortium exceed trillions. Assets are meaningless. There are a lot of companies with hundreds of billions of assets and a market value of only one or two billion.


    To measure the value of a listed company, the market value is the key.


    In addition to the listed companies, there are also many non-listed companies in the consortium, many of which are confidential, especially those of the Sinclair family. After reading the information, An Feng felt that they were really rich!


    An Feng''s data was estimated by the customization team headed by Hardy Locke. Because of the epoch-making nature of GP, it is currently around 80 billion. If it is disclosed to Forbes, he will be the richest man in the world without any suspense, compared to the second The famous 70 billion is much more.


    It''s a pity that "the richest man in the world" has a few hundred million left in his pocket. The cost of changing the world is astronomical. With the current technological environment of the earth, the industry is backward, and it doesn''t matter what you want. It costs hundreds of billions to make a spaceship, at least . So when his personal assets exceed trillions, it can be said in another way, when he is rich enough to be able to do things happily.


    But also a little consolation �� consortia. The consortium can provide Anfeng with a lot of funds, and it is no problem to raise tens of billions in an emergency. The consortium needs to be stronger and richer to be able to implement An Feng''s plan - now that he has figured it out, it is very difficult to carry the burden by himself.


    Let him earn so much money, even if he cheats, it will take years and months to do it. But everyone contributes together, and it is easy to get money from the consortium��although they may not know what An Feng will use the money for. But to mitigate the chain effect, he won''t say it.


    But some things can''t be hidden.


    For example, An Feng''s beverage company plan, although he has repeatedly said that there is no prospect, but they are all his own people, so they have to invest some funds to provide some help.


    It was normal at first, but after An Feng asked the price, the capitalists realized that there was something in it.


    Matthew said to him with a half-smile: "We need to talk!"


    An Feng has no choice but to talk if he wants to talk... In a restaurant in Los Angeles, Matthew and Anthony sat opposite him, discussing the content in depth.


    Finally, Matthew asked: "You mean, it''s not just as simple as a drink? It also has the effect of improving physical fitness and relieving fatigue?"


    "The drink is easy to understand, but it is actually biotechnology." An Feng said, "If you want to try it, I will give you a few bottles later."


    "You are amazing!" Matthew said in surprise, "I wonder if you have a 24-hour machine in your head, buzzing."


    An Feng smiled, it was obviously a joke - but he was right.


    Anthony is more realistic: "According to your thinking, even if you accept our venture capital, you have to pay at least 16 times the price?"


    An Feng nodded: "According to its future market, 16 times will become 160 times or even higher sooner or later. Even since you talked to me, I changed it to 100 times��"


    "100? Wait! Wait!" Both Matthew and Anthony expressed their dissatisfaction.


    An Feng smiled: "Of course, since I told you at least 16 times, I will not change it. But a reminder, there may be no profit for a year or two, and its effect is slow. During this period, it will consume a lot of money and patience. , and even let your investment go down the drain.��


    Both of them are seriously thinking about it, and now they are spending money everywhere.


    Matthew asked: "How much is the minimum start?"


    "100 million." An Feng said with certainty.


    Finally Matthew gave up: "Let''s talk about it next time. I''m afraid you and I will also get a lot of money from the cooperation with the pharmaceutical factory."


    An Feng can understand: "Of course, it mainly depends on you."


    Anthony is interested: "Perhaps my family can give you a sum of money, but it will be a month or two late, after the arrears are recovered."


    An Feng thought for a while and agreed: "No problem, just pay 16 times the price we negotiated. How much do you plan to get?"


    "Around 20 percent," Anthony said.


    An Feng said: "There are quite a few, so you trust me?"


    Anthony said with a smile: "Venture investment! Before this, not many people believed in graphene chips, super batteries or cure cancer."


    "Okay, you can get some test items to boost your confidence." An Feng said.


    ��


    The negotiation this time was not bad. Although I gave up some shares, as a core member of the consortium, I just talked about benefit sharing a few days ago, and now I am eating alone... Bad rules do not come from this way. Especially when everyone is optimistic about him and trusts him, just sacrifice a little. Anyway, the resources of the consortium can be used by themselves, right?


    In addition to talking about business, the three also chatted about other things, such as the recent popular presidential campaign.


    Anderson''s popularity is very high. At present, there are two guaranteed votes in the two most populous states, California and Texas. He has a great chance of winning, and it is now October. Ballots, the final result will be confirmed by December.


    Matthew said about the success of the election: "If Anderson can be elected, the Republican Party headed by him can bring us a lot of convenience, including in the oil and financial fields. Especially new energy, it violates the interests of many people , we must always be careful of our opponents!"


    An Feng asked: "Are those in the oil field?"


    Matthew nodded: "Of course, some people want to put pressure on us to make GP Energy invest more or simply issue shares. In the month that Tesla and GP Energy signed the contract, Bazel blocked two oil partners from sharing benefits. The request made the relationship a little stiff."


    An Feng was stunned, his life was peaceful, but he never thought that GP Energy would face so many troubles, and even a consortium wanted to buy shares at a high price...but most of what Matthew said was positive, that is, relying on relationships to gain some benefits , are all aboveboard.


    As for the secrets, to be honest, no, after all, you are the representative of the interest class, and why not Sinclair? Those who dare to play like this will offend not just one person, but a class. It involves the most fundamental rules of the game, fighting and killing are just low-level means.


    In short, with the blockade of giant consortiums and a strong political force, GP''s development path will be very stable. With its current market share, it is far from facing anti-monopoly. However, the future is uncertain, but they are already planning and preparing for this aspect.


    After chatting for several hours, everyone left together.


    None of them noticed that there was a camera pointed at them in a black Camry parked on the street opposite the coffee shop. From walking out of the coffee shop to sitting in the luxury car picked up at the door, a series of actions were taken one after another. A few, even the license plate is also recorded.


    The photographer looked at the effect and was very satisfied, and the car left in a low-key manner.


    An Feng and Matthew are in the same car, ready to take Matthew to the airport. An Feng said: "Flying around all day, don''t you think about buying a house in the local area?"


    Matthew said: "I have this plan, especially in the future, the focus of work will be concentrated in the west, but we have to wait for Catherine to graduate."


    "Is she graduating next year? What kind of university do you intend to go to?"


    "Not sure for now, but we respect her opinion and interest." Matthew said, took out the vibrating mobile phone in his pocket, answered, and his brows quickly frowned.


    "Check it out!" Matthew''s voice was a little harsh.


    Seeing him put down the phone, An Feng asked, "What''s going on?"


    ��The bodyguards found someone secretly filming us. The identity is unknown at present. It is said that they are a bit like gossip reporters, but we are not public figures.��


    "Maybe they are interested in the super rich!" An Feng said.


    Matthew shook his head: "The invasion of privacy and portrait rights alone is enough for them to drink a pot. No one dares to make fun of the privacy of the rich!"


    An Feng thought of Aegis Security: "Maybe my subordinates can handle it."


    Matthew glanced at him and nodded: "Let''s do this for now, I''ll let a bodyguard stay and cooperate with you."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 237： spy

    Chapter 237 Spy


    An Feng was also curious about why they secretly photographed them. After all, they are different from public figures like celebrities. It is understandable to take a few photos of celebrities in public, but the privacy of the rich is not violated casually. They are rich and powerful, and they are not afraid of going to court, and they can sue people to poverty.


    An Feng hung up the phone and said, "Maybe it was a false alarm."


    Matthew is not optimistic: "I hope so, but now is a sensitive moment, the presidential election is coming, we are all supporters of Anderson, although everyone is very careful, but it is inevitable that something will be photographed, the final Time must be vigilant.��


    An Feng asked: "Do you think the opponent will use these tricks?"


    "I don''t think it''s a certainty." Matthew said with certainty, "The two parties have never stopped fighting openly and secretly, no matter who becomes president, it can''t be avoided. To put it simply, the ''zipper'' between Clinton and Lewinsky Door'', isn''t it the Republican Party who facilitated it?"


    An Feng has also heard that when the Democrat Clinton was president, he had a **** scandal with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. As a result, the right-wing conservative Republicans frantically attacked, and they wanted to impeach the president immediately to step down, which also led to scandal-ridden Clinton was pushed to the cusp, and his approval rating plummeted.


    Hearing what Matthew said, he became more cautious. Although he didn''t have much contact with Anderson, he was the money maker after all. After letting the opponent find out their ways, wouldn''t they expose their cards? Especially in this election campaign, both sides are not very disciplined, so we have to be careful not to fall into the trap.


    ��


    After Aegis Security received a call from the boss, it acted quickly.


    This time, General Counsel Guli led the team. He is familiar with personnel security and defense work, so it is very suitable to do this. In addition, there are four people in the team, two electronic experts, a female bodyguard and a colleague, who is said to be the bodyguard of the boss''s friend, a top tracking expert.


    They drive out two cars and replace them at any time. Los Angeles is the center of SHIELD''s defense business. If necessary, they can call more than a dozen vehicles in rotation to confuse the line of sight. The operation in Los Angeles took advantage of the right time and place, and it was only necessary to keep up with the opponent and find out the details behind it.


    Now they can catch him, but they won''t find out the truth.


    An Feng hopes to follow the vine to find out whether it is a false alarm or premeditated, and if it is a false alarm, he will be taken to court and sentenced to a few years��not surprising, the strange thing is that the same crime can be acquitted in the US judiciary. It can also be sentenced to several years, depending on your lawyer, local influence and so on. Most of the justice is for whites and wealthy people, and it is hard to say for others.


    If it was premeditated, you have to investigate all the way up, and if necessary, you can bite back and let the opponent lose his wife and lose his army. Seeing the other party''s driving habits, Gu Li took a circle on the street before going back, proving that they have some means of anti-tracking, which requires them to have enough helpers.


    But this time there is a faster way��Guri took out a black suitcase, opened it, and it contained a set of quadrotor aircraft and a computer for monitoring. They released the aircraft, and the high-definition camera observed in the air. There was no need to follow Behind the opponent.


    Moreover, the flight time of the aircraft is outstanding, and the shooting effect is clear. If it is at night, it is almost invisible. It can also record sound and project images. sample.


    ��


    Anti-tracking will take some time, An Feng didn''t spend all his energy on this aspect, although he doesn''t need to worry about the site selection and registration of Bida Company, but he still has to exercise the decision-making power. In addition, there are some dances and receptions to attend, and he has a lot of social activities in the evening.


    But following Guli''s advice, he brought two bodyguards. A layman looks at bodyguards in the same way, isn''t it the kind of cool guy in a movie who wears sunglasses and a black suit? In fact, it is not the case. There are those who are mainly responsible for security and order, like celebrities; there are also those who are responsible for privacy protection, like An Feng.


    They are good at finding abnormalities in every detail, and can prevent other people with impure motives from approaching or shooting them to the greatest extent. They also plan the most private travel route, the location of the car, and even the location of the meal, so as to prevent eavesdropping or camera targeting VIPs to the greatest extent.


    When it��s not necessary, they are hidden, you can��t see it, you can��t feel it... When An Feng danced a passionate tango with Joanna at the ball, the team over there was taking turns to watch for 24 hours. The matter is indeed not simple, it was premeditated.


    Just in the evening, the aircraft captured the meeting between the paparazzi and several other people, and some things were traded. Gu Li had to arrange more people to monitor them. After several rounds, they finally came across an opportunity for people to go to the empty building. According to the usual practice, they went in to search.


    The paparazzi lived in an ordinary three-story townhouse, surrounded by mixed races, and two people walked in without attracting attention. There are locks on the door, but these locks are not worth mentioning. The driver involved in the operation is an expert in unlocking, and two or three strokes are faster than opening your own door with a key.


    Two people entered the door, put on gloves and shoe covers, searched the house in an orderly manner, and got a laptop computer and three USB flash drives, but the computer had a password, and the USB flash drives were also locked... It was hard for an electronics expert to use an unlocking tool to fix it Computer, and then cracked the U disk, after some searching, a large number of photos were extracted.


    Gu Li, who was on guard in the car, heard their voices: "This kid has a lot of photos stored in his computer, as well as staff notes, including our boss''s travel time, hobbies, living habits, etc., very careful, probably not It''s just one person doing this kind of thing."


    "Make a copy of it, don''t startle the snake." Gu Li said.


    The team copied the data, then put the items back intact, and finally checked whether there was any monitoring equipment in the house... After learning that everything was normal, they returned to the car in a low-key manner, flipped through the data on the laptop, and the other party It''s really hard work.


    The next day Guli informed An Feng to come over and ask him to check it out.


    An Feng frowned and looked at these photos, most of which were taken when they were doing activities in public places.


    An Feng asked: "Can you guess what they want to do?"


    Gu Li frowned: "The purpose is very complicated. It can be sent by a business opponent to understand your preferences, weaknesses, etc., and gain the upper hand in the negotiation; Your family is broken; of course there are some special purposes, I know that there is a group of people who specialize in collecting information about rich people and selling it on the black market, which may lead to dangers such as kidnapping and extortion."


    "Most of the people who encounter this kind of thing are the rich or politicians. Competitors or political enemies usually like to take advantage of their opponents to gain benefits. So some of the rich''s personal information will be stolen more or less. Refer to this country''s dignitaries."


    An Feng listened to it and summed it up as "the rich have a lot of right and wrong".


    But in the other party''s information, there is no evidence that can threaten him. An Feng''s life is very simple, except that he spends a lot of money, he is a good man, and he has never been involved in scandals. , and did not deal with improper people, was phished for law enforcement or something.


    As a super rich man, he has extraordinary strength, and there is a large group of teams behind the scenes to help him. It involves legal, tax, or other methods, even in the dark, and others cannot see it. Although he is a man of color, he does well in white circles and has friends all over the place.


    This is the intelligence collected by the other party.


    After reading it, An Feng said: "Continue to investigate and find out all the people involved in these activities, and you can deploy additional people."


    Guri nodded: "No problem."


    Guli also asked the company''s technical experts to install a set of advanced anti-eavesdropping software on Anfeng''s mobile phone, which can increase call security by 50%.


    An Feng told Matthew on the phone that the other party''s target was not only him, but their entire group.


    Matthew attaches great importance to the evidence collected. Recently, they have a lot of things to do. The presidential campaign requires energy. The consortium cooperates to **** benefits. It is inevitable that some people will be provoked, but the other party will not come clearly. Just like them, they will only go Collect opponent''s information and secretly master it.


    ��


    At the end of the investigation, Guli defined the paparazzi as "spies".


    Obviously, unlike the spies who work for the national government, their scope of business is wider, and the nature of their employment is obvious. Specialize in stealing information, either personal or commercial. The information of an ordinary person is worthless, but the information of a rich man is different. In business negotiations, you need to know his psychological bottom line, which is equivalent to a sure chance of winning.


    There are many forms of it, most of them appear as women, or some are instigated halfway. For many mistresses who report gang bosses, the nature of instigation is the most obvious... In the end, in Anfeng''s Aegis Security and Matthew''s hiring team worked together to find out the root cause.


    I followed my younger brother and searched upwards, got reliable clues, and asked people in the industry to identify them at a high price. I learned that most of them work for a not-so-famous newspaper. They usually specialize in celebrity gossip. The circulation is not high and they are at a loss. State, but lingering for many years without closing down.


    Found here, and further up is the employer.


    The network closing operation was launched. Since the evidence is not obvious, it is obviously impossible to act according to the law. Therefore, some special operations teams from Aegis Security, or other professional negotiators recruited by Matthew will be dispatched together. At the same time, let people come to talk to the boss in charge of these paparazzi.


    Of course, it��s not about talking with a suppressed pistol��the matter hasn��t developed to this point, just explain to the boss that you are in big trouble.


    "Tell me, who is the employer?" The conversationalist sat opposite the boss, with the brim of his hat lowered, so that his face could not be seen clearly against the backlight, and he only heard a cold voice.


    The boss swallowed his saliva and panicked: "I don''t know, they also contacted me through an intermediary, asking for a long-term follow-up of the information of the people on the list, as well as the composition of the shareholders of GP company, how do they usually contact each other? Get in touch, get along, etc.��


    The confidant asked: "Who did you sell the information to?"


    "Some transactions have been made, but they are all simple information, in a semi-public state." The boss explained that the confidant put a lot of pressure on him.


    "Hand it over," said the confidant.


    The boss did as he did, and took out the USB flash drive where the data was stored, and the other party said, "Turn around and turn your back on me!"


    When the boss stood up, his body was already trembling. He was not sure what he would face after turning his back, maybe it was a black hole muzzle with a silencer on it.


    Suddenly, he was hit **** the neck and fainted to the ground.


    When he woke up, he found that the office had been rummaged, and all the secret information had disappeared. Once it was sent to the police, it would be enough for him to squat for ten years! He realized that disaster was imminent, and when he planned to run away in his mind, several police cars drove up under the magazine building.


    "It''s over." He slumped on the ground, took out his phone, and could only try the last card. After all, the background of those who dare to investigate this group of consortium families is not simple.

 Chapter 238： be a neighbor

    Chapter 238 Being a Neighbor


    The network collection operation worked well, dispatched hundreds of people, controlled 20 commercial spies, and confiscated their crime tools, and talked with them in accordance with the regulations��because the operation was illegal, the process was not law-abiding, blood and tears were inevitable , leaving a warning at the end.


    An Feng was very interested in the information they collected. He selected and read some of them, and it was really good. They obtained more reliable information and analyzed the information by tapping on the company staff, squatting at the door, tracking on the road, etc. Everyone''s character, guess four or five points.


    However, Matthew or Anthony, who were also affected by the incident, all had a nonchalant attitude. To be honest, this information is not considered confidential. You can find out a thing or two with an acquaintance. The purpose of collecting it is mainly for commercial purposes. , Almost all large companies will face it.


    Matthew said: "Any large-scale enterprise with strong capabilities will inevitably be full of commercial spies placed by the opponent. Similarly, they will also plant spies for the opponent to steal the opponent''s operation plan, marketing plan, and even find management loopholes. sold to competitors."


    An Feng understood. Fortunately, after the theft of the robot company, the company''s awareness of confidentiality was improved. Now the security contract of GP company is completely in charge of Aegis Security, which spends millions of dollars every year. Although the cost is high, there are various high-tech and professional Personal protection, well worth it.


    Matthew continued: "Actually, if the means of secrecy are appropriate and unrelated personnel are not allowed to access the secrets, commercial espionage is not terrible. The most important thing to be careful of is the deep-seated ones, such as the agents placed by the US government in enterprises, especially this kind of electronic intelligence. technology giant."


    An Feng was surprised: "Really know how to play these?"


    Matthew asked rhetorically: "Let me ask you, since the surveillance scandals broke out frequently in the United States, do you still think that Internet or telephone communication is safe?"


    An Feng shook his head: "I said many important things in person."


    "So if you think about it again, the government will really rest assured that those companies that involve high technology or the military will continue to operate freely? Capitalists are after profits, especially arms dealers. They wish the United States would fight every day and sell arms to the world. , can the government keep an eye on it?"


    It is said that members of parliament are the spokespersons of capitalists, representing interest groups to control the government, but this is not complete. There are also spokespersons of other interest groups. Furthermore, the U.S. government is not stupid. It is a typical double-dealer and will try to monitor them. The government of a large country is very complicated.


    An Feng asked: "Then what should we do?"


    "Let it be, live as you want." Matthew said, "The game has rules, as long as they don''t violate them, both parties will be very happy."


    An Feng thought for a while and understood.


    ��


    The espionage matter came to an end. The people who were listed as targets were in a calm state of mind. They arranged some appropriate countermeasures and relaxed after the storm passed. And that group of people has disappeared now and has been included in the blacklist. If they are involved in the future, they may lose their lives.


    John also found the address of Bida Company, which is very close to the center of Los Angeles. There are office buildings and a sufficiently spacious production plant area. The conditions in all aspects are good enough for the company to carry out large-scale production activities, but the rent is a bit expensive. But it''s not a big problem.


    An Feng registered the company first, with a capital of 100 million. Then, using the resources of the consortium, they selected a few good managers. Both the consortium and the big family intend to reserve such talents. As senior workers, they also know what to do and how to behave.


    An Feng didn''t pick and choose. It''s better to go to the talent market to try his luck than to try his luck in the talent market by himself. The main thing is to take a few glances and leave the matter to the assistant John to do it, I believe he will be able to handle it with ease.


    Then life got back on track.


    He pondered over that piece of information, and the machine brain didn''t give a cause, it could only affirm that there was a crisis for human beings��whether he existed or not.


    That is to say, the end of death is inevitable, but when he learned about the future, a butterfly effect formed, and the process was completely messed up. He who predicts the future can exacerbate the crisis, slow it down, or avoid it. In essence, he did not cause the crisis, but he messed it up.


    Because he "predicted" the ending, the subsequent development was derailed.


    Even if he doesn''t, it''s understandable��it''s not his fault. And if he intervenes and succeeds in the end, there is no doubt that he is a hero.


    Although An Feng was a bit selfish, he finally carried the banner.


    But Robot Brain is showing signs that there is no rush. After predicting the future, panic, fearing this and that, will increase the probability of perishing instead! In principle he doesn''t care about anything, and lets things develop naturally��until death at the end. The process will take a long time.


    Because the current probability of various events is very low.


    So people who are anxious about the future, or who are in a hurry, cannot do this. Only those who are as calm as An Feng, or even heartless, will not be affected. It is far away from the future, and worrying about it now will speed up the destruction, so what was in the past is still what it is now.


    An Feng just let himself work harder.


    ��


    When he was bathing Xiaobai, he perfected the framework of the plan in his mind. First of all, it must make a lot of money, there is no doubt about this. Then there is industry and technology, which has to lay the foundation for future robots. It is obviously safer to hand over the core to robots under their own control than to spread it to humans.


    But when it comes to robots, it involves the issues of intelligent core, energy and structure. Further down, the intelligent core is also divided into levels, independent and centralized; further down, there are virtual intelligence, artificial intelligence; and further down is the manufacture of computers��huge graphene computers, or photonic computers , or a powerful but energy-consuming quantum computer...


    In fact, further down, there are various materials and processes required for manufacturing...and such a complicated thing is just a part of the core of the robot!


    An Feng was completely dizzy.


    There needs to be a computer to help him share some pressure. Obviously, no matter how powerful his machine brain is, it is impossible to calculate billions of times per second like a supercomputer... Therefore, a powerful and intelligent computer is needed to act as his "assistant" , and connect via a private network.


    Just by making a plan, he feels that this is an extremely huge project.


    In the end, I was lazy, and the wind blew under the shade of the tree for a while, thinking about whether to eat at home at night, or take her to New York to try the dishes there. In fact, Europe is also good, but it is suitable to leave in the afternoon... The super rich think Those other people couldn''t imagine, but he thought it was normal when the phone rang.


    "Hello, Xiao Lezi?" An Feng said.


    "Brother Le!" Wang Le dissatisfied, "Which corner of the earth has the **** been active recently?"


    "Where else can it be, 25 centimeters away from the shadow of the third palm tree by the swimming pool in San Francisco." An Feng babbled.


    "How about I go there and have a few drinks with you?" Wang Le said.


    "Don''t! If Mrs. Wang thinks that there is someone outside her husband, you can''t let you kneel on the floor at night." An Feng said with a smile.


    "Hundan!" Wang Le scolded, "Do I suffer from such severe ''bronchitis''?


    "It''s hard to say." An Feng smiled.


    "I''m serious, now there is a choice, she agrees to live in the west, and I have some acquaintances in the west, so I consider whether it is in Los Angeles or in San Francisco."


    "What''s so good about staying in Los Angeles? The air is bad, there''s traffic jams, and the public security is not very good. Traveling is okay, and I think about picking up girls, but you''re already married, so staying for a long time is not a good choice."


    "It means you recommend San Francisco with green mountains and green waters?" Wang Le asked.


    "Of course, don''t look at where I live now, the sky here is always so blue, the air is so fresh, and you can go out to play in the sea when you''re bored!"


    "Okay, I''ll take your opinion!" Wang Le said.


    ��


    Wang Le is a solid activist. Before calling An Feng, he was looking at a map in New York to find directions. The next day, he dragged his family and landed in San Francisco��and called An Feng to pick them up in person. Considering that I don''t have a four-seater vehicle, I ended up flying a helicopter.


    Seeing Wang Le and his wife at the airport, An Feng greeted him with a smile and hugged him: "I haven''t seen you in a few months, the fat on this body can be squeezed out!"


    "Can you not mention this?" Wang Le was depressed. After traveling around the world for more than two months, eating and drinking to his heart''s content, he was indeed a little darker and a little fatter.


    "It''s right to come here. I can urge you to exercise when I have time." After An Feng finished speaking, he hugged Lisa again and praised with a smile: "Mrs. Wang, you are still the same as before, slim and beautiful! To be honest, Wang Le This guy married you, it is really a blessing he has cultivated in several lifetimes!"


    Lisa giggled: "The mouth is so sweet, no wonder Joanna always talks about you."


    An Feng turned sideways and said: "Get on the plane!" According to their request, they made a few circles around at low altitude, and finally they decided to have a pier as well.


    An Feng gave a business card: "I left it when I bought a house last time. The service is not bad. Just check the house, and they will handle other things perfectly for you."


    "Thank you." Wang Le took the business card.


    That night they stayed at An Feng''s house, had dinner together, and then gathered in the backyard to chat and tease Xiaobai who had grown up a lot, especially Lisa, who couldn''t resist this kind of cuteness. And Wang Le and An Feng were chatting there, talking about their plans for the future.


    Aiming at the things that have not been worked up to now, Wang Le has a high-sounding reason: "Have you ever seen a really rich person need a job?"


    An Feng pointed to himself.


    Wang Le ignored him: "Rich people always ask others to work. As long as you have money in your bank account, ask a reliable financial advisor to help you invest in some funds, and occasionally buy some bonds and stocks. Going to work honestly works dozens of times more.��


    An Feng curled his lips: "This is not nonsense, but the premise is that you have to be rich. How many people in the world do you think can be like you?"


    "So this is an enviable talent!" Wang Le shook his hair. In fact, this guy was very low-key when he went to school in China, and he didn''t show his landscape.


    "Smelly!" An Feng leaned back in his chair and looked up at the starry sky.


    Wang Le asked: "Do you have any investment plans recently?"


    An Feng nodded: "Yes, there is, but it''s over now. Next time, I promise to double or triple the value within five years."


    "so smart?"


    "Of course, without looking at who I am."


    "Count me in." Wang Le said.


    An Feng nodded: "The next time the public raises funds, if you have spare money, you can invest in it. But let me tell you in advance, it is very valuable, that is, one hundred dollars per share. Considering the principle of fairness, I am afraid I can''t give it to you." How many discounts, but I can guarantee that I will earn money in the future."


    "Good buddy!" Wang Le drank the bottle with him.


    "One million starts." An Feng added.


    "No problem, I''m not afraid of you tricking me." Wang Le said with a smile.


    =====


    PS: Some book friends asked me to explain the setting of the end.


    I believe that old bookworms can understand at a glance, but let''s say a few words at the end. Because the protagonist��s stall will be very large, but his personality is lazy. If he still develops desperately without a suitable reason, it will appear "out of character, aimless, running around, running accounts"...so what the author wants to say Not "Doomsday" (in fact, this is also a pit), but to give the protagonist a reason for what he did.


    above.

 Chapter 239： Anti-cancer drugs

    Chapter 239 Anticancer Drugs


    Wang Le spent a few days looking for a satisfactory house. According to the straight-line distance, the two families are no more than two kilometers away, so they can be regarded as neighbors, and it is very convenient to visit each other. Lin Hai, another business partner of the winery, also lives nearby, and the three shareholders have become neighbors.


    It is now November, and An Feng''s life has gradually stabilized...because of the lack of money. Also because he had to plan for the future. Unlike the aimless life in the past, when you have a goal, you will naturally become more diligent and think further.


    There are currently two plans: robots and computers. Robots with armed capabilities are too advanced to be seen in public as much as possible, so he needs a secret robot base-sounds crazy, maybe he won''t use it in his lifetime, but plan it now, just in case.


    The United States must set up bases��to prevent man-made disasters. Throughout decades of wars, Uncle Sam is the most lethal, a typical "world **** stick", in case they want to trigger an "immeasurable" crisis, they will use the slogan of maintaining world peace to disarm them .


    Also, continents need bases. In addition to preventing man-made disasters, there are also natural disasters. In case a large meteorite falls from the sky, robots can also defend against it, or there are a group of aliens in the meteorite... the possibility is very low. But natural disasters and man-made disasters, the scope of application of robots is very wide.


    The second item: computer. An Feng already felt that his brain was not enough, and the calculations involving future probabilities were too complicated for him to think alone, so he needed a powerful computer to calculate the probabilities of various disasters, which ones to focus on, as well as manage bases and control robots.


    Having an intelligent computer is the first choice. Artificial intelligence is naturally the best, but it needs a stronger computer core. At present, Anfeng can''t find the conditions, so he can only settle for the next best thing, use graphene to make a supercomputer, and then perform bionics to make it have a certain degree of intelligence .


    Manufacturing involves various materials and industrial technologies, and is also very complicated. And after they are completed, how to use them will also involve network communication, satellite communication, etc., which is just as complicated. After much deliberation, the result is a complex square. All have to be ground honestly from the most basic place.


    The most basic thing is one word: patience.


    An Feng happened to lack both, and he was always thinking of any shortcuts he could take.


    In addition to thinking about the future in his mind, he also looks the same as usual. He should eat and play. Yesterday, he took Joanna to New York to watch a musical and had a candlelight dinner for romance. Right now he dozed off, and woke up naturally in the afternoon, took out his phone and summoned Wang Le.


    "Come out for a run!" An Feng said to him.


    An Feng will feel unhappy if he doesn''t toss his body. He and Joanna are three good young people who pay attention to exercise and love life, so they are in good shape, but Wang Le is not very good. It''s okay to say when they were young. Now they are both twenty-nine , who is almost thirty years old, must pay attention.


    So An Feng dragged him out and went for a run first.


    An Feng told him: "If you want to have smooth lines, you must first remove the layer of fat in your stomach. Outdoor aerobic exercise is the most suitable."


    Wang Le wore a vest and a pair of cropped trousers and ran under An Feng''s supervision.


    five minutes later.


    "How far is it?" Wang Le asked out of breath.


    An Feng was at the same speed as him, but now he didn''t change his face. He raised his hand to look at the electronic watch: "Hurry up, sticking to home is victory!"


    ten minutes later.


    "How much longer?" Wang Le asked.


    "Hurry up, stick to it for one minute now, and one more minute in bed later." An Feng encouraged.


    "Ah!" Wang Le exploded his potential, "I''m working hard! Day by day, day by day!"


    "Pfft!" An Feng sprayed, if you can do it day by day, I should be your apprentice...


    After he finished desperately and returned to An Feng''s house, An Feng gave him a new task: "Push-ups on the ground, six sets, thirty in one set, start!"


    After pressing the phone for a few minutes, An Feng looked up: "Finished? Okay, five sets of bench press, one set of five, come on!"


    "Can you stop talking so much at once?" Wang Le fell to the ground and couldn''t move.


    An Feng kicked him: "Does the world''s richest man dislike you for being your fitness trainer? Obediently do what I say, and in three to five months, I will be as standard as I am! Imagine a beautiful summer: sunny beach and beauties in bikinis , but you have a beer belly, what a shame!"


    "Ah! For my wife!" Wang Le shouted, "Twice a year, once a year for half a year!"


    "Damn!" An Feng blurted out, this guy''s goal is getting bigger and bigger.


    After finishing a set of bench presses, Wang Le panted and asked, "Do you have any activities at the hunting ground in Texas next month?"


    An Feng nodded: "Didn''t you participate in the shooting exhibition last year? I told you that it will be more lively this year. I invested a few million just to hear it!"


    Wang Le said: "Of course I remember. In fact, I have a few friends in China who are also interested in firearms. They may come over and ask for your opinion."


    "No problem. Since they are your friends, they are also my guests. I promise to make their trip worthwhile." An Feng said.


    While talking, the phone rang.


    It was Matthew who called, and he said: "Bruce, I received a report from the research center, saying that Dr. Keith''s anticancer drugs have been completed?"


    "Really?" An Feng thought for a while, "Oh...they told me a few days ago that it seems to be happening."


    "What have you been up to lately, that you even forgot such a big event?"


    "It''s not the beverage company''s problem, there are quite a lot of procedures." An Feng said a few words casually, "Since the anti-cancer drug is out, can you find some time to take a look?"


    "No problem, let''s discuss the issue of the pharmaceutical factory by the way." Matthew said.


    ��


    They met at the research center two days later.


    At the same time, congratulate the experts who are still in the laboratory.


    In retrospect, the years have passed, and it has been more than two years since Anfeng dug Keith''s corner. I have gone a long way on the road of fighting cancer, and I have been through wind and rain. Now I finally hold the cloud and see the moonlight and win the victory. Fruit, the perfect end to what many people regard as a lifetime task.


    An Feng did not hesitate to praise: "Congratulations! The world will applaud you! History will remember you! You are all heroes!"


    A group of old men with an average age of 60 years old, who have worked tirelessly for two years, are dedicated enough!


    Case said with a smile on his face: "We all don''t forget you, Bruce! Without your impeccable theory, we would not be able to get to where we are today! Although it was done by us, fundamentally speaking, We can all thank you for your indispensable guidance!"


    An Feng congratulated each other for a few minutes.


    Then Keith went to the topic: "Anticancer drugs will be divided into many types for different cancers, for skin cancer, liver cancer, bone cancer... Targeted treatment will have a more significant effect, and it is estimated that three to five drugs will be needed. A course of treatment can completely cure cancer.��


    An Feng said: "Very good, almost three months as I expected."


    And Matthew is a businessman after all, so he asked, "What about the drug cost?"


    Case glanced at him and said, "It''s not too high, but I''m not in business. The cost of commercial production has to be considered by you."


    From their mouths, they learned that the samples of several common cancer drugs have come out and passed the biological tests, and human experiments are now short. This also requires volunteers. Fortunately, there are living examples of the research center curing cancer, and volunteers are easy to find.


    An Feng said to them: "Now you can go on vacation!"


    The expressions on their faces are very relaxed. This step is already done. Next, you can take a long vacation for yourself, or join in the writing of group papers, or quietly wait for the Nobel Prize next year. No one has been able to compete with them.


    An Feng asked his assistant to bring some champagne and congratulated them in the office.


    The experts put down their work and joined the celebration without distraction. During the period, they also talked about the difficulties in the research and development process, everyone''s differences, and every time An Feng''s magical conclusions, or the experience of scolding them when they got bored... People can''t laugh or cry.


    An Feng is embarrassed, can these old beauties save me some face? This should be spread, how can I mess around with a group of 60-year-olds if I say dirty words to them?


    When the experts were immersed in joy, An Feng did not forget to check the safety work of the research center. Although it is useless to take the medicine away now, after all, the ingredients are too complicated. The experts spent two years under An Feng''s guidance. Can a broken human machine handle it?


    Finally, An Feng and Matthew sat together.


    The content of the chat is of course the issue of shareholding ratio. A long time ago, Anfeng''s private team calculated that if the pharmaceutical factory was controlled by the Sinclair family, and taking into account long-term development factors, the value of 55% of the shares would be between 350 and 350. Between US$40 billion, the main way is replacement.


    However, authorization from the research center must be obtained first.


    Pharmaceutical factory wants to produce anti-cancer drugs. According to the original agreement, it has to pay 25% of the sales profits of anti-cancer drugs every year. An Feng holds 70% of the shares in the research center, that is, he can get a 17.5% share of the net profit. He actually takes 16%, and the remaining 1.5% is the share of the R&D team within five years.


    After all, the experts have paid so much, so it is right to get some share. Don''t underestimate this 1.5%. When the sales profit is 10 billion, they will have 150 million. The global cancer market is more than 80 billion, and the profit is expected to be more than 15 billion, which is still increasing every year.


    Here is the authorization, and then there is the share of the pharmaceutical factory.


    Since the close cooperation, An Feng has read the information of Xin Energy, and after learning about his family background, he is very interested in the replacement of shares. In terms of value, it is about 200 billion US dollars. If it goes public, as a high-quality enterprise and the core of a consortium, its market value is only high or not low.


    Matthew asked him: "How about the consideration?"


    An Feng gave a reply: "The result of the last discussion is the same. I think there must be other people in the consortium who want to take some shares, so I will take 45% and give you the rest. Replace Xinshi Energy with 55% of the shares 15% of the shares, you pay me an additional 3 billion in cash."


    Matthew said: "I will submit this proposal, as long as the effect of anticancer drugs is as good as expected, there is no problem in cooperation."


    In fact, 15% of the shares is already very, very high. According to what he learned, Matthew actually only has 6% of the shares, Bazel is higher, with 8%, Mrs. Sinclair 25%, plus other family members, the company 51% of the shares are in the hands of Sinclair, which is a veritable family business.


    Calculated in this way, Anfeng can enjoy 61% of the sales share of anti-cancer drugs, and also took 15% of the shares of Xinshi Energy, and 3 billion in cash. Although the other party is responsible for the management, the actual production authorization is still in their own hands, which is very worthwhile.

 Chapter 240： Debut [three more]

    ��


    An Feng prefers to combine his interests with the consortium. He knows that his foundation is weak and his experience is insufficient, and he can only develop firmly through continuous cooperation with big families. Therefore, it is worth it in the long run for him to take the shares of Xinshi Energy to realize the bundling of interests.


    However, the specific anti-cancer drugs will have to wait for a few months, and it will be available in February next year at the earliest. An Feng could only wait patiently for the result of their discussion. Matthew, Bazel, and the old lady are all inclined to him. There is a saying that the minority obeys the majority, and it is not a big problem.


    With the breakthrough of cancer drugs, the major research projects of the research center have come to an end. An Feng is thinking about other things. In order to prevent natural disasters, he needs to solve all difficult and miscellaneous diseases. probability of this.


    It is also a merit to make terminal and incurable diseases disappear from the earth.


    In addition, he is going to give GP a task: a supercomputer.


    Different from the current supercomputer, the speed of graphene will be faster. The research and development team will also cooperate with the research center to conduct a period of bionic research, imitating the way of thinking of the human brain, and create a machine with certain intelligence. But this has to be classified as confidential and not used publicly.


    It��s just for the company. Anyway, the big boss speaks, who knows if he��s using it for playing games or something else? His casual sentence "for technology research and development" is enough to make everyone shut up. With his professional strength, in the researcher''s heart, he was almost deified.


    R&D is expensive, but not all of it is his. He holds 51% of the shares, so naturally he uses 51% of the money, and the rest of the funds are naturally borne by the shareholders.


    An Feng finally tasted the sweetness of the consortium.


    ��


    on the other hand.


    His new company was registered, called "Anshi Industries".


    Industry promotes human progress and is an important link in measuring the degree of a country''s development. Today, the concept of "industry" is no longer as monotonous as machine tools and machinery as people imagined. The scope of future industries is broad, including electronics, biology, aerospace, energy, and new materials.


    So Ans Industries removed the overlapping part of the research center and GP company, and was responsible for the research and development of new materials, intelligent machinery, nuclear energy and solar energy, and space technology. Industrial companies want to lay the foundation for other technologies, which is also the next-generation technology needed for the all-round development of Anfeng.


    In the past, he didn''t care, just wanted to make some composite materials and 3D printers, but now it''s different, since he has huge advantages, he simply took them out and developed them secretly - after the supercomputer is built, he will store the information in his mind in it, reducing his own exposure risk.


    After all, a person knows everything and is proficient in everything, which is too shocking.


    An Feng needs to find an agent��virtual. After the "holographic three-dimensional projection" can be formed in a fake and real way, a non-existent character can be simulated by using a supercomputer, and this knowledge can be taught, or you can learn by yourself, but change your image to become a "primary school teacher".


    For the many technologies he will develop, agents must exist, otherwise not only will he be busy, but he may also be regarded as a rare animal. The experiment on mice is completely persecuted by delusional people. Geniuses always receive special attention.


    He didn''t want that.


    ��


    In November, An Feng and Joanna appeared in London.


    Joanna, who is busy at the end of the semester, came here on weekends. This is a foundation event. Since it is the first time, it is of great significance and requires the chairman of the foundation to appear. The reason why they couldn''t refuse and invited them from the United States was that the foundation had made achievements in children with autism.


    After the Elizabeth Charitable Foundation received 8 million pounds of funds, according to the foundation''s management charter, half of it will be used for business investment, and the current focus is on machine companies; the other half, after discussion by the council, will be used to assist children In the research and development of the treatment of autism, five children with autism were subsidized free of charge. After two months of treatment with the new method, they achieved good results and attracted attention.


    An Feng learned about the process on the plane. The foundation spent 200,000 pounds to fund a research group on autism and came up with a set of non-drug behavior training methods. Then the foundation donated another 100,000 pounds for free for five autism patients. Children with autism are offered therapy with very good results.


    Joanna is also happy, the development direction of the foundation is very good.


    Seeing her happy, An Feng said, "I''ve heard that doing good deeds is a manifestation of accumulating merit, and giving someone a glass of water will also be rewarded by the kingdom of heaven."


    Joanna shook her head: "No, what you are talking about is Catholicism, which excessively pursues fame and fortune, and distorts the essential meaning of doing good deeds, just like their indulgences. Protestant deeds of kindness are spontaneous, a manifestation of rebirth and salvation, not merit, It has no saving power in itself."


    "Sorry, I misremembered." To be honest, An Feng couldn''t tell the difference between those who also read the Bible and believed in God, the difference between Catholicism, Orthodoxy, or Protestantism, and the subdivisions, such as Protestantism. Where are the differences among denominations such as Luther, Calvin, and the Anglican Church?


    "It doesn''t matter." Joanna understands her non-religious husband very well. "I don''t think the opinions of the outside world are important. Doing good things to make yourself happy is the most important thing."


    "Hey, maybe you should start a new sect!" An Feng joked.


    "Bold!" she laughed.


    ��


    Landed in London, it was much colder in California, and it was still drizzling. This time, the Anfeng sports car did not drive, so I took the pick-up car sent by the foundation, an ordinary Audi A5. In recent years, German cars have been doing well in the UK market, but American cars are well-behaved and there are no bright spots.


    After arriving at the company, I took a short rest. Due to the tight schedule, I arrived in the morning, had activities in the afternoon, and had to fly back in the evening, so An Feng became a gentleman with an umbrella to protect her from the rain, watching Joanna and the members of the council During the exchange, An Feng looked serious and did not speak.


    Lunch is settled at the restaurant near the lunch, and the car departs on time in the afternoon. The place is located in a mental illness treatment center in London. When they arrived, the five children and their parents had already arrived, and the autism specialist in charge of treating them was arranging special interactive games for them.


    Autism is also known as "autism". It is generally a group of people who are unwilling to speak, have communication barriers, or have other abnormal behavior patterns. There are not many people suffering from the disease in the world, and the UK is relatively high. No wonder they were so indifferent in their childhood.


    Joanna communicated with parents and experts. Regarding the children''s various problems, parents were talking, experts were explaining, and Joanna was listening.


    The five children still had some stage fright when facing this strange woman they met for the first time. But Joanna was very patient, and squatted down to communicate with them cordially. Although she might not answer a sentence after five sentences, but remember the previous teaching, be patient... Finally, she asked them if they like to stare at the rotating fan When I was still painting, a little girl said weakly: "I like painting."


    "Excuse me, can you show me your work?" Joanna smiled, speaking softly and kindly.


    The little girl nodded, and everyone applauded her.


    The expert explained on the side: "Usually this kind of performance means that she has taken the first step, which will play a very critical role in promoting future healing."


    The little girl sat on the side, painting like no one else, and seemed to pour out her inner world on the brush and drawing paper. It took half an hour for a colorful and somewhat impressionistic painting, and she stopped when she was done. After the battle between Fantian and Ren, he looked back at Joanna.


    "Can I see it?" Joanna asked, no matter the words or manner she used, she showed her decent and friendly demeanor.


    The little girl nodded and handed the paper to her.


    "Please allow me to praise, this is a beautiful, colorful and very layered world!" Joanna said, she was not completely polite, because after she finished speaking, she pointed to one of them and asked: "How many times did you draw?" The line should be a rainbow scattered by sunlight, right?"


    The little girl opened her eyes wide. It was obvious that what Joanna had said hit her mind. She nodded happily and said, "Yes."


    "Awesome!" Joanna smiled, "Can you give it to me?"


    "Yes, ma''am!" The little girl looked happier.


    Joanna accepted her gift and was about to stand up when the little girl said unprecedentedly, "You are beautiful, madam."


    "Thank you, dear." Joanna smiled sincerely.


    The parents of the little girl were also happy. They took the initiative to do things and talk in just half an hour, which proved that the treatment was very effective. I am also very grateful to Joanna and the foundation for their kind deeds. Although the whole event was not grand, and even the children were a little quiet, they have taken the initiative before and after. This small step means that they are on the road to overcoming autism. A big step, and one to celebrate.


    After the event, Joanna was in a good mood, and the council followed her advice to continue funding the research group to help people overcome autism.


    After the debut, follow the low-key return journey.


    A seemingly casual event, but it has attracted a lot of attention.


    The social networking site of the foundation published activity photos, promoting funding and sponsorship of scientific treatments for autism, and achieved great results, as well as an activity photo of foundation chairman Joanna. That day, she was wearing a dark coat, long skirt and short boots, a black round-brimmed hat and gloves, and she showed a very reserved smile in front of the camera, completely looking like a British noble lady in the early twentieth century.


    As a result, it became popular.


    Things are relatively coincidental. One is that the UK has also been paying attention to autism recently, and is very concerned about the news of the results; the other is naturally that the heroine has temperament.


    An Feng read the message, in addition to praising the research results, there are also many people who praise her, most of them are British, some people praise her for embodying a model of nobility and elegance, presumably it is a rich lady or something... An Feng is happy to see it of. The photos are indeed very elegant, and the temperament is natural.


    Watch it a few times again, Joanna is very photogenic, but unfortunately she is too low-key, she didn''t say a few words during the whole process, if she didn''t understand, she thought it was a bodyguard. But after all, it is a foundation bearing her name, so naturally it wants to let the chairman show off. To put it bluntly, in the future, you will have to rely on these titles to change titles.

 Chapter 241： self-driving tour

    Chapter 241 Self-driving tour


    At the end of November, they returned to SLO.


    Americans also have a tradition of reunion. They usually choose between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Joanna has a holiday on Thanksgiving, and they may have other activities at Christmas, so they use Thanksgiving to reunite. Go to the Thanksgiving parade together, eat a turkey dinner, and have some traditional games after dinner, simple but warm.


    Anfeng''s practice continues the tradition after coming to the United States: giving bonuses on Thanksgiving.


    This is the favorite item of the winery staff. Nothing else, BOSS is generous, as long as the work is done well every year, if he is satisfied, his hard work will be rewarded, and he will give a bonus that is much higher than other places, making Old John overcrowded every time he recruits.


    After Thanksgiving, Joanna went back to school and devoted herself to the intense work at the end of the term. After this busy semester is over, the next semester is basically writing a thesis and waiting for the day of graduation... But she took too much leave after getting married, so the next semester has more courses than others.


    An Feng continued to stay at home.


    50% of the progress is not perfect, he felt that he had only spoken half of what he said... until later he discovered something strange from the "event probability".


    He went deep into the calculation method of probability. Although he didn''t understand how to calculate those complicated formulas later, he found that only those with an event probability of more than 50% can be regarded as potential hidden dangers, and 80% are dangerous, but don''t say 50% now , not even 10% of the events.


    Of course, there are also reasons why there are not enough values, but with such a low probability, it will be fine within a few years to be honest.


    Going around, this may just be a warning decades in advance.


    An Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was not nervous, he was always feeling bored. But now, after calculating the time of the event from the probability, it is found that the worst situation will take several years to deteriorate, and if he intervenes in the control, it may be delayed for decades before finally calming down.


    There is still so long, he can take his time, the only thing is that there is more direction for struggle.


    Since he was not in a hurry, after he had arranged his future plans, he had nothing else to do, so he got together with Wang Le to discuss the arrangements for this Christmas holiday.


    While talking, Wang Le talked about his friends who were going to participate in the shooting exhibition last time.


    Wang Le said: "My friends are very interesting. Although they are all second or third generation, they are not as arrogant and domineering as on the Internet. You will get along well. By the way, they also want to take a self-driving tour, so I ask You, can you drive to Texas from here?"


    An Feng thought for a while: "It''s not a big problem, but California to Texas is not a popular route, and the second half is basically a boring and monotonous desert road."


    Wang Le said: "It doesn''t matter, don''t worry about the scenery or anything, they have been to all the big cities in the United States, and now they just want to experience driving in the United States."


    An Feng nodded: "Okay, let''s make a plan. From here to Texas, at least 3,000 kilometers. If it''s for fun, you can go to see the Grand Canyon or something. It may take six or seven days to drive. The shooting exhibition is also near, the best When we arrived, the event was about to take place����


    "That''s the truth." Wang Le said.


    They discussed a lot of routes, and even talked about where to go after Christmas. An Feng also has arrangements for this. Recently, he is really leisurely. The company is in the construction stage and has nothing to do, so he wants to experience a trip to the Eastern Caribbean on his own cruise ship.


    Then Lisa also joined the discussion. She was very interested in traveling around the Eastern Caribbean, but one link led to another. An Feng looked at the memo plan, and now it''s good. You don''t have to worry about having no place to play during the entire Christmas holiday. The schedule is full, if there is any official business, I am afraid it will not be enough.


    After Joanna heard about their ideas, she also agreed to travel by car. The reason was that she hadn��t had the freedom to relax for a long time, so she wanted to drive on a sparsely populated straight road without restraint. friends discuss travel plans.


    Joanna''s holiday came in December. After An Feng took the time to give Xiaobai a second dose of genetic medicine, he entrusted him to the old John of the winery, let Xiaobai play with the hunting dog, exercise his hunting ability... and then return to San Francisco, waiting for the arrival of Wang Le''s friends.


    ��


    They met five friends from China at the airport.


    Wang Le smiled and hugged them, and then pulled everyone to warmly introduce: "This is the Mr. An Fengan I told you about, my best friend, and a good neighbor who eats and drinks! And these few, aged Those who are older than me and those who are younger than me are all friends in China."


    There are three men and two women in the team. They all come from wealthy backgrounds, but they are very humble, with a smile on their faces, and very kind. In particular, a guy named Ye Ning was very hospitable. He said that next time An Feng returned to China, if he passed by him, he would definitely entertain him and experience the local characteristics.


    An Feng smiled and said: "If I have time to pass by, I will definitely pay a visit. But since we are in the United States this time, let me entertain you first!"


    "I like it so refreshing!" Ye Ning said with a smile, "This time, there are only two purposes, driving and playing with guns. Last time Wang Le sent those videos to me. My heart is itching. Although my buddies are also playing in gun shops in the United States. A few times, but it''s nothing compared to what he''s been through."


    "There will always be, and this time it will be more intense." An Feng said.


    After some politeness, rent a car at the car rental point at the airport. The car rental industry in the United States is very developed. You can choose to rent a car in San Francisco, and return it at the chain store in Houston, Texas, so you don��t have to worry about not being able to get around. No need to choose, they booked online.


    Because of long-distance driving, comfort is the first requirement, and the spacious SUV is naturally the first choice. They chose the Grand Cherokee and Ford Explorer, typical American SUVs, large displacement, stable and comfortable to drive, and spacious vision, not king Le-led 911 can compare.


    There is no convertible car in California. Wang Le keeps a low profile. Unlike Anfeng Ferrari and Lamborghini, which are all flagships, a two-door four-seater convertible Porsche 911 is his car. The frog with big eyes has remained unchanged for decades. But there is a heart that can run to 320.


    An Feng and Wang Le have lived in the United States for a long time, so they are naturally American-style shirts and jeans, with a pair of sunglasses, with the carport open, the front is coquettish=sao leading the way, running at the speed limit, passing traffic lights without slowing down, and turning without turning Brakes and other American-style driving are played vividly.


    ��


    Everyone rested that night, and got up early the next morning to prepare for a trip. Since Anfeng only had a sports car in San Francisco, he drove out of the sports car and went south to Los Angeles to pick up the car. Although the convertible car is very chic, when the distance exceeds 500 kilometers, you still have to take care of your body. Comfortable car.


    The same goes for Wang Le, he only has a sports car, this time he plans to use the same car as An Feng, and he can switch to another car if he gets tired, so he started with two Porsche sports cars, a 918 and a 911, along the most beautiful Highway 1 in the west Going south, the sea is on the right hand side, and the beautiful scenery and scenery are intoxicating.


    But this time feminism is serious, and the drivers are two ladies. Joanna and Lisa are unambiguous when they drive a sports car. An old lady in her fifties and sixties smiled and passed.


    Ye Ning, who was driving behind, glanced at the speedometer and accelerated accordingly. He said to his companion, "This American drives really hard!"


    "Everyone seems to be rushing to reincarnate!" His companion also agreed.


    The knowledgeable ones are yet to come. Highway No. 1 is built on the mountain, and there are many winding roads. However, when facing big and small bends, the two sports cars in front hardly show signs of slowing down. , If the speed is converted into kilometers per hour, I am afraid that they are all above 100.


    But when we arrived in the urban area, things changed suddenly. The drivers became gentle and polite to the point that they had no friends, especially when there were no traffic lights and only a red "STOP" sign, even if there was no one around, they would Patiently stop and watch for a few seconds before driving.


    This "STOP" appears more frequently than traffic lights. When passing the green light, the driver can do it in one go without slowing down or even accelerating, but when encountering a red sign, everyone will stop obediently and pay attention to quality, which is quite different from the previous scene of driving to 140.


    When they arrived in Los Angeles, An Feng and Wang Le changed cars, temporarily parked the sports car in the underground parking lot of the research center, and drove out his huge full-size Mercedes-Benz GL63-AMG, which is the kind of car that must be used for long-distance travel. It is an SUV that can sleep and lie down, and can also be loaded with a locomotive when the seat is put down.


    It took half a day to go south on Highway 1. They stopped in Los Angeles and went to the beach to have a look at the scenery. Of course, the parking fee was high enough, 60 dollars a car, and they love to park non-stop. Local tyrants naturally wanted all-round advantages, and three cars parked side by side.


    I spent one afternoon and one night in Los Angeles, and took a ride on the Ferris wheel in the afternoon, and then the two MMs from China and the wives from the United States decided to go shopping. The journey was so long, and they came empty-handed. How could it be possible? How about clothes and jewelry?


    The men acted as coolies.


    Continue to set off the next day, this time driving more than 400 kilometers, from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, because it was late last night, I didn��t get up until ten o��clock in the morning, and it was already eleven o��clock after breakfast, so don��t worry Busy driving from LA to LV, the road is straight and the speed is fast, it can be done in four hours.


    The temperature in LV in winter is not too low. If it is summer, basically stay in the casino during the day, and occasionally you can play dead people at 40 degrees outside... The most exciting thing in the casino is the night, but because of the presence of the lady, it may not be enough Familiar, bad boy thinking can''t be brought in for the time being.


    Everyone tried their luck in a well-behaved manner, and then went to various hotels with special characteristics, watched a few performances, and had endless free activities. An Feng didn''t have anything else to do, so he took Joanna to the cinema to watch a movie, but after playing it for a few minutes, he found out that the heroine was actually his ex.


    In Joanna''s half-smile expression, An Feng finished watching it with a little appreciation. It''s an action movie. The hero is stylish and ruthless, and the heroine is bold and unrestrained. Few, the audience enjoyed watching it, and the evaluation is generally quite good.


    "How was it?" Joanna asked him how he felt watching the movie.


    "It''s not bad." An Feng said with a little hesitation, "If you play the kind of rich daughter or princess or empress, it will be even more brilliant."


    "I don''t like acting!" Joanna said.


    "Then I''ll let someone else play you, okay?" An Feng flattered her.


    "What can I do?" she asked.


    "Romance movies with some action scenes, don''t you think the experiences we''ve met since we met can be filmed like this? But it''s hard to find a heroine. She doesn''t have your temperament, and the pure British style is probably difficult to imitate. ...It''s a pity, who made you unique!"


    "Look at your sweet talk." Joanna was happy.


    An Feng hugged her and left the theater, saying: "Isn''t it? But to be honest, when we are old, we will find a gold medal screenwriter to make our story into a movie and find handsome men and women to shoot. My request is not High, the audience''s preference comes second, as long as we like it."


    "Good idea," she said.

 Chapter 242： shooting show

    Chapter 242 Shooting Exhibition


    The next day, everyone got up earlier than yesterday. When eating breakfast at the hotel, I just listened to everyone chatting about some new experiences. An Feng has lived in the United States for a long time, and he feels that the rhythm is normal when he integrates into the environment, but in their eyes, there are many differences and incomprehensions.


    From traffic rules to regional customs, after real experience, to be honest, there are both good and bad. Ye Ning talked about what happened last night: "I drove out for a walk, there are many homeless people, and in some dark places outside the long street, some old blacks are taking drugs openly."


    Wang Le looked up: "How do you know it''s drug use?"


    "The police caught him at the back!" Ye Ning explained, "I thought I was 1.85 meters tall and weighed 90 kilograms, which was not bad in the crowd, but those old black figures made me feel dizzy. He was strong, but he was knocked down to the ground by the police, and he was handcuffed and taken away after being beaten up."


    An Feng is not surprised: "Black people are often very deadly when they provoke the police. Don''t think highly of the American police. Those who talk about the rules are all serious officials, while those who are on duty are mostly not particular. They don''t talk about racial discrimination. , but in my heart, people of color can��t argue with the police.��


    Ye Ning said: "It makes sense. The police in China mostly focus on persuasion and are cautious with their guns, while the American police directly draw their guns and beat them up. In addition, the day and night in the United States feel opposite. There was order and chaos at night."


    Wang Le said: "Actually, you can understand it this way. Think of the United States as the world in ''I Am Legend''. It is safe and stable during the day, and ghosts and ghosts at night."


    Ye Ning smiled and nodded: "That''s how it feels."


    An Feng also laughed. It��s quite interesting to chat with some domestic friends occasionally, and it��s very relaxing.


    ��


    After breakfast, they set off again.


    At this moment, it is still in Nevada, and it is more than 2,000 kilometers away from Austin, which is far away.


    The next stop is the shared area of ??Nevada and Arizona��the Hoover Dam. The casino is powered by it. The dam was built in the 1930s. It is considered a major project for mankind. An Feng once saw it once. It is very spectacular, but it is still not as good as the Three Gorges.


    The naming of the Hoover Dam is also a bit tortuous. At the beginning, it was named after "Hoover". As a result, after the hungry president stepped down, the Democratic Party changed it to "Bowd Dam". Then the Republican Party gained power again and changed its name back. Has been using the "Hoover" name until now.


    It can be seen that the struggle for power between the two parties is not usually fierce.


    Before they get on the bridge, the police will come to check to see if there are any explosives or the like.


    Wang Le was very puzzled and said: "Isn''t this dam claimed by the United States to be able to withstand nuclear attacks? Why are you still worried about this explosive?"


    An Feng shrugged: "Who knows, and the time when the dam was built, it seems that nuclear weapons have not been officially used yet?"


    Wang Le scratched his head and laughed: "You can really blow!"


    Since passing by, it is good to have a look. The scenery around the dam is not bad, but some people are curious: "What will happen after the explosion?"


    An Feng thought about it for a while, and then said: "It is estimated that Las Vegas can raise fish around the clock, and let residents upgrade to sea view rooms for free."


    "I want to praise this!" Wang Le said.


    Walking ahead, the sharp-eyed people found it interesting again. Ye Ning pointed to the sign beside the dam, and his curiosity came: "Dam safe area? That''s interesting... Why isn''t the call below 911? Could it be that this Is the serial number the express line of the U.S. urban management?"


    "This..." An Feng said that he hadn''t thought about it at all.


    There are too many problems, An Feng and Wang Le can''t handle it... But it''s still very fun, the big guys have to go out to play, no matter how good the scenery is, it''s versatile if you''re not in a good mood. This group of people just happens to be able to make up for second-hand goods, and they have a great attitude on the road, and everything can cause laughter.


    After visiting the dam, continue to set off. They still have four to five hundred kilometers to go today, and they have to see the Grand Canyon of the United States. An Feng had seen it in the air, but hadn''t tried driving before, so he set the GPS and drove forward at high speed. After leaving the casino, the scenery on the road became monotonous.


    This is the most typical western highway landscape. The straight road is separated by a wide separation belt in the middle of the road, spreading to the end of the field of vision. The blue sky and white clouds above the head, desert wasteland on both sides of the road, the vegetation grows feebly, and the desolate landscape of the west can be seen at a glance.


    The unchanging scenery makes it easy to get sleepy. Anfeng yawned a few times on the way. Joanna looked at him and said, "Shall we go to the back row to rest?"


    An Feng nodded: "Okay, I feel sleepy after seeing these sights."


    Talked to the cars behind on the radio, they also planned to change the driver, so they parked together on the side of the road, opened the door and got out of the car. The weather in February gets colder the further you go inland.


    Everyone added clothes, changed people and continued to drive.


    The sunset gradually fell behind them, and the Grand Canyon finally arrived. Drive along the road specially opened for tourists, and come to some of the most classic scenic spots. Get off the car and stand at the viewing point with the most tourists, overlooking the river canyon below. , to experience the splendor of nature.


    An Feng pointed to a river beach washed out by the river turning in the distance, and said, "It''s a very familiar scene, I''ve seen it on the computer desktop."


    "Well, yes." Joanna leaned against him to keep warm.


    An Feng enjoyed the tranquility and warmth here, but the friends over there started arguing. He boldly walked to the edge of the cliff and asked his companions to take pictures. Then everyone stood together and greeted An Feng and Joanna, and walked over to join them. , behind you is the abyss, click a picture.


    But it was a bit cold outside. After the trouble was over, they got into the car to turn on the heater, returned to a nearby city, and had an exotic Mexican meal together. Small towns in the United States are different from big cities. They are very quiet and have good law and order-because there are many pot-bellied policemen, and they have nothing to do when they have nothing to do. They go door to door and say hello, just like the sheriff Johnson in Paso Robles.


    Go to bed earlier this time, because tomorrow they need to run 900 kilometers across New Mexico. There are also some national parks in New Mexico, but everyone is not interested in it, preferring the big shooting activities in Texas, so the next day, I refueled and drove at full speed.


    There are few vehicles on the straight Interstate 40, and the speed can be very high. Whether it is a RV or a truck, if you slow down, they will buzz past you. According to the American driving practice, regardless of the speed limit, When others are fast, you can be fast too.


    The speed hovered between 130-140 per hour. Looking at the monotonous desert scenery outside the window, I ran for hundreds of kilometers. Then I stopped at a gas station to adjust, went to the store to buy something, and changed to another driver to continue the rest of the distance. Arrive in Texas in about 9 hours and stop in the small town of Amarillo.


    The next day, we continued to dispatch. Although we were already in Dezhou, its land area was too large, and we still had to run more than 800 kilometers, and there were many fork roads. In order to arrive before dark, we patiently studied the route and chose the best route. Reasonably, the scenery on the road has finally changed.


    Wang Le, who was driving, said boredly: "Hey, have you noticed, I don''t think Texas is too popular with other Americans."


    An Feng put his arms around the sleeping Joanna, looked out the window, and said: "Look around, except for the developed industry, it is a backward rural area, and there are many descendants of Mexico in the local area. Being independent is definitely something special.��


    "That''s right." Wang Le nodded, "Next time the Americans always talk about the border issue in China, the country should also use this to fight back."


    "I strongly support the independence of the Republic of Texas." An Feng quoted a famous Internet quote.


    "Not bad! Not bad!" Wang Le smiled.


    ��


    After five days, they drove fast all the way to reincarnate, and finally arrived at their destination.


    Considering that Anfeng��s wooden house can��t accommodate so many people, it is necessary to find a hotel in a nearby town. Usually, this kind of small local hotel is out of the question, but American-style Motels (motels) are almost everywhere. Where there are people, there is a Motel, it should be easy to think about.


    But the truth is, they were wrong again.


    The two hotels in a row were full. An Feng glanced at the cars in front of the room. The license plates were not all from Texas, but also from some surrounding areas. He heard from a restaurant waitress that many people took advantage of the holidays to Come for the shooting action, and that''s not all.


    They walked further away, and finally found two rooms that had not yet been taken.


    To say that these people in the team are also optimistic, Ye Ning said with a smile: "When I was in the casino, the waiter would wait in line for half an hour to enter the hotel after parking the car for you. The relationship here is good, and I will let you directly The car parks at the door of the room, and once you get out of the car, you can go in and snore while lying down."


    "Then you should give a five-star rating." Wang Le said with a smile.


    An Feng arranged their accommodation, ate something, and returned with Wang Le.


    ��


    Woke up early the next morning.


    This small place looks like a countryside in the outskirts, and there is nothing to do. They are all rushing to Anfeng''s gun shop. Wang Le drove the HMMWV out, ready to open the eyes of these people. After getting up, An Feng prepared some bread and milk with Joanna, had a simple meal, and then drove to the gun shop.


    The nationwide shooting activity started on the second day and will last for two days and two nights. It is still under preparation today. When An Feng stopped the car, Wang Le and his fellows gathered around the military vehicle and watched curiously. An Feng got off the vehicle and greeted them: "Go. Come on, let''s go inside and have a look, it''s fun in the rear."


    Everyone walked into the gun shop and opened their eyes again.


    Even Wang Le, who has experienced the scale of the gun store, said: "It feels like it''s getting bigger and bigger, and it''s a bit comparable to a military factory!"


    Due to An Feng''s large investment, it can be said that there are weapons on the market, and they can be found here. There are even some out-of-print ones displayed in glass cabinets. There are only two guys in the gun shop, and the rest are in the open air in the backyard. In the shooting range, gunshots could be heard faintly.


    "Choose a weapon first, and go to the back to try the feel." An Feng said to everyone, considering that there are more beginners, he also called a buddy to guide them. Everyone came to the backyard with their favorite weapons. There were many gun friends. Mike was pointing at the side, and there was a pile of aircraft molds in front of him.


    An Feng went over to say hello: "Hey, Mike!"


    Mike gave him a high five and said, "Just in time for you to come, this event has the American Gun organization participating in this event, providing us with some new ideas, see these aircraft molds? We are going to assemble them for tomorrow''s shooting event Use it as everyone''s flying target."


    "Hit a plane with a gun? Good idea!" An Feng said.


    "I also think that if it is just a simple strafing, it will be a bit boring. Adding these active targets will definitely double the consumption of bullets."


    An Feng said: "But I also brought a good thing, which can make this feast more visual."


    "What is it?"

    Chapter 243


    Mike waited with doubts, and soon, An Feng came back with a black box, and he said loudly: "Let''s go far away, the gunfire is too loud here!"


    "Follow me!" Mike led him away.


    They came to the base covered with nets farther away, An Feng put the box on the table and opened it. Mike looked inside and saw a set of aircraft, four rotors surrounded by outer circles, painted black, and exquisite workmanship. An Feng took it out and showed him its features.


    "The full-HD camera, with a capacity of up to 2T, can record shooting events in all directions, and as long as the network signal is strong enough, it can operate within five kilometers and at a height of 300 meters in the air. You only need to move the router of the gun shop Go outside and it has plenty of signal."


    "Looks good," Mike said.


    "Try it." An Feng handed the aircraft to him, and then took out the tablet inside, "It''s very simple to use this control."


    Mike groped for a few minutes and got familiar with it. He put the aircraft on the table and gave it an instruction to start it with the computer. Then the four rotors started to rotate. After changing the inclination, the aircraft slowly lifted into the air. Mike controlled it and turned on the camera. , the tablet displays a high-definition picture.


    "Awesome!" Mike said excitedly, "It can also record sound? What a great thing! How long does it last?"


    "About five hours!" An Feng said.


    Rising to an altitude of 100 meters, the employees on the ground were photographed through the zoom technology, and the image was still clear. Mike sighed: "High technology! I''m so ignorant."


    An Feng didn''t explain that these equipments are not widely used in the market yet. The first one to use is Aegis Security. At present, the robot company has sold them five sets of aircraft. After actual use, especially in major security activities, it has effectively increased the scope of investigative activities.


    Mike played with relish, and An Feng explained some techniques to him. He planned to use this to shoot the opening ceremony on the first day. He was limited by the angle before and couldn��t shoot the scene of the weapon firing from the front. Now that he has the aircraft, the front angle is obviously easy. up.


    After a while, Mike answered the phone.


    An Feng thought it was an employee or a friend, but a few minutes later, a tall beauty with wine-red hair, jeans and boots, with a pistol on her waist, was very wild. She smiled and shook hands with An Feng: "Hi, An, I''m Tanya."


    "Hello, Tanya." An Feng was still a little confused.


    Mike said: "She is my daughter, and she came to help this time."


    "Oh, that''s how it is." An Feng reacted, but seeing Mike as an old man, he didn''t expect to have such a beautiful daughter.


    The world is unpredictable... Tanya didn''t know An Feng''s sigh in her heart, she said enthusiastically: "I heard that you are short of manpower here, so I came here to be a shooting instructor. Well, I am mainly responsible for the command of the plane. I used to like playing games very much, and I have a lot of experience.��


    An Feng Khan, do you like to masturbate?


    Tan Ya looked at An Feng who was speechless, and said, "Then I''ll go arrange the activities?"


    "Okay, see you later!" An Feng nodded.


    Mike smiled: "Don''t mind, she is so carefree, very outgoing."


    "It''s okay, as long as you do well, the salary will be paid according to the standard."


    "That''s not necessary, she is purely here to play with guns this time, just give me a discount on bullets." Mike said.


    "No problem, free of charge." An Feng said, since the beautiful woman came here to help, he can''t lose his grace, right?


    Facts have proved that the beauty effect is very good. The guys who can shoot in the front are all novices now, waiting for her kind teaching, or lying on the cushion to show them the use of high-recoil firearms... An Feng see After a few glances, these unscrupulous men!


    But Tanya was laughing and joking with them, and didn''t mind these petty thoughts at all.


    An Feng went back to Joanna. She was teaching a few ladies how to use a pistol. She was very patient, demonstrating and giving hands-on guidance. Unfortunately, there was no men''s session, otherwise some people would choose to forget that they could shoot...An Feng saw through their psychology.


    As the boss, he also put on a conspicuous red vest, walked around and inspected the venue. Check to see if there are any potential safety hazards, such as different shooting areas, the shooting angle must be careful, and the line of fire cannot cross... The phone rang and answered: "Hi, Matthew?"


    "It''s me, do you have an event tomorrow?" Matthew asked.


    "A shooting event in Texas, are you interested?" An Feng said.


    "Of course, I''m nearby, and I''ll bring my friends there tomorrow morning."


    "You are very welcome. Please call me when you come." An Feng said, and continued to chat with him. Matthew was obviously also interested in firearms.


    ��


    On the second day, the shooting site was set up. Due to Anfeng''s generous investment, there are currently movable targets as far as 1,200 meters away. Dig a runway around the shooting range, let the crawler robot support the target, and can transfer or move, which is an extreme test of the skills and patience of the snipers.


    But the most exciting part is the explosion of cars and gasoline barrels. It is about 200-500 meters away from everyone. There are at least 20 scrapped cars on the field, and dozens of oil barrels beside them. They even bought some explosives and arranged remote control. Detonate links to increase the fun of the game.


    Before the start of the exhibition, the local police also came to the scene, one is to participate in the activities, and the other is to maintain law and order. Regional police are not civil servants, and their salaries are not paid by the federal government, but are supported by the property taxes of local residents, so the starting point of serving the people is deeply rooted.


    If you talk about the American police, there are naturally good and bad. Those in big cities who receive state salaries ignore the residents. You say yours, and I play mine. They are very corrupt. But I don��t dare to do it in small places. If you don��t do well, you will vote next time. Go drink the Northwest Wind in the future.


    So for this shooting feast, the police were also present. The skin gave everyone a lot of psychological security, but it was the security patrols with weapons on their bodies that actually played a role. It''s up to them to stop it.


    In the United States, there are many examples of guns being used to sweep people in a hurry... After half an hour, there are more and more people on the field. According to the regulations, they are not allowed to bring their own weapons, so everyone came in empty-handed, and a symbolic fee of 2 There are nearly a thousand tickets in US dollars.


    There are three camps in total, gathering firearm enthusiasts from different regions, there are men and women, there are also some firearms associations, some organizations are present, and there are journalists carrying cameras... A few minutes later, An Feng went to the gun shop Matthew was greeted at the door.


    At around nine o''clock in the morning, with hundreds of guns ready, the gun store manager Mike stood on a high place, holding a loudspeaker and giving the command to "fire". In an instant, An Feng relived the grandness of setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year when he was a child. Flames and smoke are everywhere, the muzzle of the gun in his hand is beating, hot bullet casings are constantly being thrown out of the barrel, the bullets smashed the distant car into a sieve, and exploded the gasoline barrel.


    When it was the most intense time, the staff pressed the button to detonate the explosives, and the sound of "boom boom boom" sounded from all directions, and the burst of air waves blown around in a circular shape. on the smoke, triggering more bomb explosions.


    The adrenaline of the shooters was stimulated, and the muzzles swept away the obstacles in front of them and smashed them into pieces... and the high-altitude aircraft filmed this scene, especially the precious video of the frontal fire. The side, now the front.


    The gunfire was loud, and the opening ceremony of the massive shooting lasted for three minutes. At least one hundred thousand rounds of bullets were consumed in these three minutes. The bullets were fired from the barrel, and the US dollars flew out of the wallet... Mike looked at this scene with a smile on his face. Reduced, although the preferential price has been implemented, it is still profitable.


    The collective shooting ended. There are three venues for the event. One is an ultra-long shooting range, which is specially used for sniper rifles or anti-material weapons; There is one for the aircraft.


    Soon, more than a dozen aircraft moved out. Under the remote control of the "pilot", it rushed into the air and gradually moved away. Then the 20 people who participated in the activity began to pick up their weapons and shoot at the aircraft, and the gunshots suddenly crackled Constantly, unfortunately, it is very difficult for bullets to hit the plane.


    The plane kept flying on the field, attracting everyone''s firepower, but this is reality, not a movie. The bullets just missed. They circled around for four or five minutes, pouring tens of thousands of bullets, and everyone was unwilling to replace the bullets. box, and continued to fire at the nimble aircraft in the air.


    An Feng, who was watching the battle, shook his head, and when the plane turned around, he drew his pistol and stepped forward to bang a few times.


    The plane smoked and fell to the ground.


    Wang Le and his friends who were changing the magazine were stunned. Wang Le was full of disbelief: "Shoot the plane down with a pistol? You are better than General Jin!"


    Ye Ning also said weakly: "General Jin still uses a rifle."


    "Pure luck." An Feng smiled and did not explain the complicated trajectory calculation.


    "Cool!" said Tanya who came, and An Feng thanked with a smile. She turned to face everyone again: "In fact, hitting the plane is mainly based on calculating the lead, such as this machine gun."


    Tan Ya walked up to a parallel M249 machine gun and sat down, grabbed a gun in each hand, turned her head and explained to everyone: "The concentric circle sight in the middle is used to calculate the lead, as long as the bullet hits the plane''s In front of the trajectory, there will be a higher probability of shooting down."


    Everyone listened carefully to the beauty''s explanation of "how to masturbate".


    There was a smirk on the faces of Wang Le and the others, but the big girl was not joking when playing with big guns. When the second plane took off, she held the gun butt, followed the trajectory of the plane, and the machine gun in her right hand fired first. , followed by the machine gun in the left hand. After several times in a row, the plane really smoked and fell to the ground. Although it took more than a minute, compared to the scene where more than 20 people took four or five minutes, Enough!


    Everyone applauded unanimously, the beauty looks not only hot enough, but also strong enough.


    Tanya stood up again, and said with a smile, "It''s barely okay, but An''s performance just now was the best, combining probability and luck perfectly."


    Wang Le looked at An Feng, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that the masters of flying planes are among the people!"

 Chapter 244： grand occasion

    Chapter 244 Grand occasion


    Perhaps it was due to a competitive mentality, everyone was interested in the project of flying a plane, especially after An Feng Xiaolu just now, other people also took up their guns to participate in the competition. The guys at the controls sat high up trying to keep the plane dodged from these bullets and prolong its life.


    The aircraft carried out various evasive actions. Everyone tried their best, and the guns in their hands chased it and sprayed bullets, usually machine guns and assault rifles with large magazines. After installing the ACOG scope, the trajectory of the aircraft can be captured more clearly. Those who successfully shot down were cheering, while those who failed were sighing.


    The masturbation continued. After An Feng participated in it a few times, he left with envy.


    Having nothing to do, he, like other security guards, walks around the venue with a pistol in his lap, to give some guidance to the ladies, to show off his skills, to win some cheers, or to say hello to other friends. Try the gun feel, and finally meet Matthew who is playing with a sniper rifle.


    Different from the hustle and bustle around him, his side is very quiet, lying on the cushion, with a pile of professional tools beside him, staring at the target in the distance and frowning.


    "Long distance target?" An Feng asked.


    "Of course!" Matthew loaded a 12.7mm sniper-specific bullet into the barrel of the TAC-50, and handed him the rangefinder: "Come be my observer?"


    "No problem." An Feng also got down beside him, picked up the handheld laser rangefinder, aimed at the target, and read the data on it: "750.22 meters."


    Following him, he looked at the anemometer next to him and said, "The wind speed is 6m/s, at 11 o''clock, half-speed wind! The influence of wind speed is not small."


    "Okay." Matthew adjusted the shooting angle, pulled the trigger, and there was a deafening bang. An Feng observed a cloud of dust around the target.


    "The error is 3 meters, and the wind speed keeps changing." An Feng observed, "The flag of the target is blowing in the direction of three o''clock, and the wind direction is different from here."


    Long-distance shooting is definitely not focusing on the target. It considers not only wind speed, but also humidity, temperature, and even the force of the earth''s rotation. After the sniper shoots, if the wind speed changes, the bullet will be affected by the changing wind, with a distance of more than 700 meters, enough error of more than two meters.


    Matthew reloaded a special sniper round and stared at the scope again.


    To be honest, a sniper is very lonely and boring, far less interesting than in the game, the impact of the natural environment on the target within 300 meters is not too big, and one person can handle it, but for a longer distance, you need to prepare Watch hands, deft minds...and failure.


    The failure of long-range shooting is normal, and the second bullet fired by Matthew also missed the target.


    An Feng continued to report the number: "The wind speed is 5m/s, the direction is 12 o''clock, and the wind speed is zero. This is a good opportunity!"


    "Zero-speed wind" refers to the wind blowing that will not affect the shooting. The bullet will be in the wind or against the wind. Matthew followed the trajectory he corrected, and the third shot finally sent the bullet into the target. The circular target It was hit by a large-caliber bullet and landed a few meters away.


    "Good job!" An Feng congratulated him.


    Matthew gave him a high-five, and asked, "Want to come and play? Last time I saw you shoot very accurately!"


    "I''ve never hit one with a distance of more than 600 meters." An Feng shook his head, even if he hit such a long distance, he couldn''t guarantee the accuracy.


    "Don''t be humble," Matthew said.


    An Feng said: "I''m serious. If it''s within 300 meters, I''ll use a small-caliber sniper rifle to shoot accurately. But after more than 300 meters, I don''t know anything about correcting ballistics. I have learned it several times, but it is too difficult. As the saying goes I don''t have the patience to say that snipers are fed bullets."


    Matthew said with a smile: "I actually regard long-distance shooting as a game that tests patience. It allows me to calm down and think."


    "Then your skills must be very powerful." An Feng said.


    "Maybe, I''ve hit a 1,050-meter target once, but it was pure luck."


    "Luck is here now." An Feng pointed to a target that was barely visible to the naked eye. "The farthest there is 1200 meters, which is still within the effective range of this gun. How about a challenge?"


    "Okay." Matthew said, "But I need to prepare a large-capacity magazine."


    An Feng handed him the magazine, which of course tested his confidence and bullet capacity. Even a professional sniper could not guarantee that he would hit it with one or two rounds.


    ��


    An Feng and Matthew played with sniper rifles all morning.


    Compared to other people who fired hundreds or thousands of bullets, they only used more than 20 bullets throughout the morning, and the time was spent on debugging, correcting ballistics, or chatting. An Feng also tried it at Matthew''s instigation, but he was not lucky with the target a thousand meters away.


    On the contrary, I was very happy chatting with Matthew. I heard him talk about his military service experience 20 years ago. He went to experience military life with enthusiasm, which made his family very angry. His father even gave him an ultimatum, saying that he would If he does not obey the decision to be transferred back to the country, he will lose his inheritance rights.


    An Feng said: "As a kid from a rich family, you were so courageous back then!"


    Matthew also said: "Yeah, Bazel taught me afterwards, saying that our family should play the role of the ruler, not the identity of the dominated. I was just foolishly fighting for the interests of other groups, not the country. The country also It��s just a collection of family interests.��


    "Very realistic." An Feng said.


    "But the reality is like this." Matthew said straight away.


    ��


    After lunch, the afternoon activities will continue.


    Fighting planes has changed from a fixed shooting point in advance to a mobile one��that is, sitting on a military vehicle and chasing planes in the sky with machine guns. It is very difficult, but it is more exciting. You can experience extremely simulated wars on the spot. Even the ladies signed up.


    After An Feng experienced it, he accompanied Joanna to try it out.


    The model is still HMMWV, but it has been converted into an open top, with an M240 machine gun mounted on the rear row, dragging a long ammunition chain. After the car starts, the remote control plane above the head shuttles back and forth on the bumpy dirt road. Her mission is to Shoot down the plane in the shortest time possible.


    "Put your shoulders on the gun stock, lean forward slightly, and put your weight on it to stabilize yourself!" An Feng gave her instructions at the side. Since she was shooting while standing, the shaking car would seriously affect the accuracy, but she didn''t Pure, just pull the trigger and let the bullet fly by luck.


    An Feng supported her shoulders, watching her finally sweep it down from the sky. He let go of the almost empty ammunition belt, and congratulated: "Congratulations, the mission is completed!"


    Joanna''s face was full of excitement: "Have you filmed it yet?"


    An Feng pointed to the quadrotor aircraft above his head: "Of course, didn''t you see that it has been following us? I will take out the video later, it must be very exciting!"


    "Let''s play the next one!" Joanna said.


    She treats it like a playground. After experiencing land warfare, I moved to the air. Apart from flying, aerial shooting is the most popular, but the cost is a bit high. Considering that the six-barreled machine gun consumes too much ammunition, a light machine gun is also installed on the other side of the plane to experience ground attack.


    This is naturally a reasonable use of resources that Mike came up with. The effect and response are very good. In addition to the ferocious firepower, everyone also likes to change the visual mode. The good girl also turned into a little devil with sharp horns.


    "Great, did you see? I hit three!" Joanna said excitedly to him.


    "I know, I know, honey." An Feng supported her, "But don''t move your gun around, the people below will panic."


    "Don''t say it!" Her cute wink, the little mistake of being too excited...


    After the gun barrel cooled down, she continued to shoot the second round, this time targeting scrapped cars, the ferocious bullets would easily destroy them.


    The camera on the side of Joanna''s helmet recorded a wonderful scene.


    The sky in the afternoon was slightly gloomy, but it also gave the tracer a chance to perform. The shooting scene became more colorful and attracted more gunners to try it. Before An Feng left, all his familiar friends went up to try the air Fire support fun.


    It costs a lot, starting at 6,000 US dollars a minute, many people have more than one minute of addiction, it is rare to come here once, touch these heavy weapons, and satisfy yourself unhappily, I am really sorry for the money in my pocket, I can buy a bunch of them Famous brand, why can''t you play a shuttle bullet?


    ��


    Someone left in the evening.


    Matthew and his friends obviously had enough fun and were very satisfied with the event, especially the aerial shooting of oil barrels and flying machines.


    Matthew also sent an invitation to them: "Bruce, if you are free recently, how about going to my mother''s place for Christmas?"


    An Feng thought for a while and agreed: "I haven''t seen her for a long time. If there is no other important matter, we will go to the meeting earlier."


    Matthew smiled and said: "It doesn''t matter, she is in good health now, I wish there would be more people to make it lively, she will definitely welcome you very much."


    "See you then." An Feng shook hands with him.


    There were still activities in the gun shop at night, but considering that Joanna would definitely be tired after being in the gunpowder all day, An Feng accompanied her back very considerately, created some alone time, and made dinner together. Delicious grilled lamb chops, served with blanched vegetables, look great and are comfortable to eat.


    She was lazy, An Feng fed her like a kitten: "Let me have some vegetables, balanced nutrition."


    Joanna opened her mouth and bit down, and didn''t forget to wipe her mouth with a napkin. She was very ladylike, and even looking at it was a pleasing art.


    "Very good." An Feng said with a smile.


    After the meal was full, Wang Le, who had gone crazy during the day, came back with his wife. He kept talking as soon as he entered the door, saying how wonderful the shooting at night was, adding tracer bullets, it was like setting off fireworks in the night sky... chatting non-stop, and then smelling Seeing the scent, I rushed over and said, "What''s delicious?"


    "There is a copy in the kitchen, take it yourself." An Feng said.


    Hungry Wang Le rushed to the kitchen again, and came out biting the lamb chops, with constant praise in his mouth: "Your wife''s craftsmanship is really good!"


    "Thank you." Joanna smiled.


    "It''s also due to me." An Feng said speechlessly, but Joanna was happy at the side. Who would let her get all the credit for doing good deeds?


    "Only beauties can cook this kind of dish." Wang Le ignored him and sat down with Lisa to share.


    An Feng despises this kind of foodie.


    Wang Le ignored his gaze: "By the way, what are your plans for tomorrow?"


    An Feng said: "I''ve had enough fun today, and I don''t really want to participate tomorrow. I listened to the crackling sound all day, and now there are echoes in my ears."


    "Then go hunting, isn''t your hunting ground here quite big? Let''s drive there!"


    An Feng looked at Joanna, she nodded: "It''s up to you, I''ll accompany you."


    "Nicky!" Lisa suddenly laughed.


    "You can do it too." An Feng put his arms around Joanna and said, "But what about your friend Wang Le?"


    "They will come too. They will increase their knowledge on the first day, and continue to increase their knowledge on the second day. When I go back, I have to ask them to promote it to my other friends. Mr. Wang has a wealthy friend. Nothing can stop him from having fun. I will envy him later. Kill them." Wang Le said a lot of truth.

    ��


    Early the next morning, the hunting team gathered in the gun shop.


    I had enough gun addiction yesterday, and my ears were still buzzing when I slept at night, so they very much agreed to change the taste the next day. Hunting in Anfeng''s private hunting ground is very strange for this group of men and women living in big cities, whether it is shooting or hunting.


    There is no such environment in China, and rich people with conditions go to the "diagonal corner"��that is, North America and Africa. But no matter in terms of the type of firearms or the level of comfort, they are not as good as private hunting grounds. No one cares here, even if there is no hunting license, but who knows who did it?


    After they arrived, they first bought some equipment in the gun shop. Daily clothes are definitely not convenient for running in the woods or grass. The gun shop also sells outdoor products, and everyone chooses the best ones to replace them with, but they are all made in China.


    An Feng said to Wang Le and his wife: "You are more experienced, so you are responsible for leading them to hunt on the ground. You must pay attention to safety, okay?"


    "No problem." Wang Le nodded, "Let me watch, these guys won''t mess around."


    Ye Ning was curious about An Feng''s whereabouts: "Then what are you doing?"


    An Feng said: "The team is inexperienced in hunting. It is difficult to find prey on the plains, and it takes a lot of energy to go over mountains and ridges. In order to have fun, I will give you aerial observation. You drive out and I will follow you. Once you find prey, Will communicate with you by radio."


    Ye Ning asked doubtfully, "Are you going to fly a plane?"


    "Of course, I have a license." An Feng said with a smile, "You can drive the two military vehicles out, or choose your own car."


    "Military vehicles!" Wang Le replied for them, "Otherwise, the fun will be lost."


    "Whatever." An Feng shrugged, this group of people just went there for fun. If they were like Anfeng''s hunters, climbing mountains and ridges, squatting for hours just to wait for a bear, I''m afraid they won''t be able to play, and there are women in the team, but they don''t have as much physical strength and endurance as men.


    After the arrangements were made, they drove the two HMMWVs out, bypassing the mountains and forests, and headed towards the wider plains outside.


    After they left, An Feng took Joanna to find the plane.


    A Bell 205 painted in gray and black was waiting quietly. An Feng climbed into the driver''s seat and the equipment was ready.


    An Feng was familiar with the plane with the pilot in the morning, and the basic principle is the same. He puts on his headset, fires up the helicopter, the turboshaft engine kicks in, and the rotors start turning. Joanna in the cabin fastened her seat belt, and after checking that everything was correct, she patted An Feng on the shoulder.


    An Feng knew that this was a signal to take off, so he pulled up the collective pitch lever of the throttle, and the helicopter with changed blade angles lifted into the air. The Bell 205 has a 1,400-horsepower engine, which is twice as large as the Bell 407 that he drove before. The speed is very fast. An Feng skillfully pushes the cyclic pitch rod (pilot stick) forward, and controls the angle of the tail rotor with his legs to maintain the balance of the fuselage and move forward rapidly at a large inclination angle.


    Joanna boldly sat by the cabin door, with her legs on the landing gear, holding binoculars and headphones, observing the team below, and contacting them in the channel: "I saw you! The front is empty, No creatures to hunt, keep going!"


    "Got it!" The ground replied solemnly.


    An Feng drove the plane forward to find out the way for them... It is good that the hunting ground is huge, and the distance of more than 20 kilometers is enough for the plane to circle the field at a slow speed for more than ten minutes.


    "I found it, it''s eleven o''clock!" Joanna said, she picked up the binoculars to observe, "It seems that a group of coyotes are running up the mountain."


    "Okay, I''ll follow." An Feng said.


    Followed the coyotes in the air for a while until they disappeared into the forest and lost their clues. Then they turned around to look for today''s prey. With the advantage of the air, they found several batches of deer, and the number was quite large. According to Joanna''s observation, there were quite a few deer that had split forks. It was worth a try.


    "OK, let''s turn around!" An Feng turned around and went back. It took a while to find the ground team, but the situation was a little...


    "Why did you sink?" An Feng saw next to the river below, a military vehicle was stuck in the soft mud washed out by the river beach, unable to move.


    Wang Le''s voice came: "We didn''t notice that the road by the river is unstable. The car in front passed by fine, but the one behind sank. Prepare to tow the car!"


    An Feng let the plane circle around, one car sank, and everyone was fine, the other car prepared a tow rope to pull it out of the quagmire, but it needed to climb a slope, after several attempts, they tried the sideways , It was able to be pulled, but the soil over there was also very soft. The military vehicle roared a few times, and the tires on the other side also sank, and then the accelerator was used to dig holes in place, and finally the chassis was on top.


    "Oh, it''s over." Wang Le''s voice came from the radio.


    "Hahaha, you guys are so sad!" An Feng smiled heartlessly.


    Wang Le looked up at the plane above his head: "Stop gloating, think of a way!"


    An Feng lowered his height to observe, and said with experience: "The terrain here is not conducive to trailers. I really don''t understand how you walked this way. Even if you come to other cars, there is no way... Forget it, let me do it. You guys are here. Wait here, I will find tools to save you."


    After speaking, An Feng turned around and left.


    Looking at the plane going away overhead, everyone chatted around Wang Le, wondering what An Feng was doing. He had a lot of guns and military planes. They were all wondering if he was an arms dealer... Wang Le Le laughed and explained: "Don''t think too much, my buddy is a successful investor, not just a rich man who is not short of money. He loves to play, and there are more things you can''t think of."


    Wang Le''s words were quickly confirmed. When there was a mechanical movement in the distance, they raised their heads and opened their mouths unconsciously... A tank painted in black and yellow was domineering. If it wasn''t for Joanna sitting on the turret, they really wouldn''t I can''t believe it is what An Feng said.


    Wang Le experienced it last time, but he was still surprised: "When will you be able to drive a tank?"


    An Feng climbed out with his head exposed: "It''s very simple, easier than a car, and similar to driving an excavator, but it''s not comfortable to drive while lying down."


    Due to the narrow interior space of the M1, in the standard combat state, An Feng almost drives lying down and falls asleep easily... Now that he lifts the back of the chair and turns it into a sitting position, his head is inevitably exposed, but Can observe the surrounding road environment more clearly.


    "Awesome!" Everyone couldn''t help thinking. Knowing how to fly a plane, drive a tank, play with guns, and have a blonde girl, is simply the benchmark of a happy man.


    An Feng jumped to the ground, gave Joanna a hand, and carried her down.


    "I''ll go take a look." An Feng walked carefully to the bank of the collapsed river. The tires of the two military vehicles had already sunk. Looking ahead, the river washed down and turned a corner here. Naturally, the soil along the bank was not stable enough. A ton-heavy car drives past, and there is a high probability of problems.


    "Can it be done?" Ye Ning asked when he saw that he was watching and not speaking.


    An Feng nodded: "Of course no problem. If this guy is not good enough, I can''t think of anything else. Come on, all the men prepare a tow rope for me!"


    An Feng taught everyone to take out the steel rope from the winch of the tank. It has a maximum length of 97 meters, a pulling force of 622 kN, and a 1,500-horsepower turbine. After the tow hook behind the military vehicle, An Feng climbed into the driver''s seat again.


    Modern tanks have abandoned the ancient way of two joysticks in the past, some use a steering wheel, and some have a T-bar. The driver of the M1 uses a T-bar to steer the tank. The stick is equipped with a throttle control and an automatic transmission control. and in-vehicle intercom.


    Controlling the tank is quite simple, similar to that of an excavator. Through the speed difference between the two tracks, the huge guy straightened up on the spot, and everyone gathered around to watch. Drive up, here is where it stumps ordinary cars.


    It is difficult to take care of both climbing and towing a car.


    But the tank climbed up easily, and the process of giving the accelerator felt very smooth, almost effortless to climb forward, and the military vehicle stuck in the mud was dragged out little by little. Everyone applauded, Wang Le gave him a stop gesture, and ran to untie the tow rope.


    They drove the military vehicle aside, An Feng backed up to the second vehicle, buckled the tow rope, let the tank exert its strength again, and drove along the bank, but it might be that the roadside was not stable enough, or a tank of more than 50 tons It''s too heavy, it will sink while driving, and the tank has already tilted.


    "No! If you go down, you will sink!" Wang Le reminded on the slope.


    An Feng climbed out and saw that the track on the right had turned the soft soil into muddy water. If it also went down, I��m afraid we��d have to find a tank rescue vehicle.


    He looked at the **** next to him and said, "There is a way."


    Drilling back into the driver''s seat, he let the left track reduce the speed, and the right track increased, which naturally turned to the left. This will increase the sinking speed of the tank, but it will allow the left track to climb on firmer ground, a test of horsepower and luck. The gas turbine was roaring, the right crawler was already churning the muddy water, while the left crawler successfully grabbed the ground, stopped the right crawler, and dragged the huge body ashore under the force of the left crawler.


    "It''s done!" Give the conductor Wang Le a thumbs up, "Drive towards me, be careful and you''ll be fine!"


    Finally, relying on its own high horsepower, it pulled the HMMWV out of the quagmire steadily.


    Amidst the cheers of everyone, An Feng looked at the situation on the right side of the tank. The body that had been cleaned up by Mike became dirty again... I was a little sorry for him, and left the tank alone. The old armored soldier looked However, I will help him take care of it for free.


    But soon, amidst their calls for tanks to go off-road, An Feng forgot his guilt, and showed his hands flirtatiously.


    Wang Le sat on the turret and said to him: "Run up and take a look?"


    An Feng said: "I''m afraid you won''t be able to bear it! You will be tortured to death at a speed of 100 kilometers!"


    "Come on, let me have fun!" Wang Le said.


    As a result, An Feng raced on the plain... No, he raced a tank!


    Its speed from 0-32KM/H is about 7 seconds, and the maximum speed reaches 72 kilometers. But it doesn''t matter, when a group of guys with weird clothes and guns on their backs climbed onto the tank, the rhythm has become that the Middle Eastern guerrillas who captured the US tank are showing their spoils.

 Chapter 246： election results

    Chapter 246 Election Results


    Driving a tank to hunt greatly satisfies the experience desire of domestic friends. Selfies and group photos are indispensable. Everyone��s goal has become an experience trip. The tank is running wildly in front of the dust, and the two military vehicles behind are chasing along the road pressed by the tank. The hunting ground has also changed. It has become a pure natural off-road venue.


    Tired of playing behind, stopped in front of a few hills.


    A group of red deer is slowly approaching nearby, and everyone is lurking waiting for the opportunity to capture a big one that can be used as a souvenir. An Feng didn''t participate, and the last dozen or so deer heads with split ends were still hanging in the room, and the novelty was no longer there, so it was just for them to experience.


    Wang Le didn''t participate either. He pointed to the surrounding mountains and said, "There should be many animals in the mountains, right?"


    An Feng nodded: "Just now Joanna found a group of coyotes hiding in the mountains. The surrounding area is relatively open, and wild animals generally rely on the barriers of mountains and forests."


    Wang Le said: "Play with guns, play off-road, hunt, you can play everything you can. I see that the land here is so spacious, you should just dig a base."


    Although it was a joke, it aroused An Feng''s interest.


    In my own land, except for a part of grazing, a large area is idle land, and there is no specific use. It has completely become a paradise for wild animals. It is not bad to dig a base for a little use��nuclear defense base. No one knew it would come in handy.


    At present, all kinds of probabilities are very low, and it will take more than ten years to happen, but nuclear war is possible. In case of failure, or half of it, a safe and stable base is very necessary... If this is too dangerous Doctrine, then apart from the anti-nuclear function, it can also serve as a base for robots.


    An Feng had thought about setting up robot bases around the world, but he had no good ideas, but now in this vast land of Texas, he suddenly had an inspiration. The vast land is sparsely populated, which is low-key enough and also benefited from the local industrial level. Materials for construction will be easier to obtain.


    What about the location? An Feng looked at the mountain in front of him, referring to the specifications of other nuclear defense bases, he dug a hole in the mountain, leading to a hundred meters underground, let the workers dig out the prototype first, and when the robot technology is more developed, they will start working with robots. It is also possible to mass-produce robots in secret.


    In the past, An Feng might not have cared about it, but with future warnings, he felt it was necessary to try, even if it didn��t work, he had the right to have fun. Nuclear defense is not realistic within ten years, but it can provide a reasonable place for the production of armed robots. The surface is obviously not suitable, and only underground.


    ��


    In the afternoon, everyone returned with their prey.


    Find a skilled cowboy and ask him to help skin the deer and chop off the head, while An Feng drives the tank back to put it back.


    The shooting exhibition is about to come to an end. According to Mike, there are a large number of visitors in these two days. The revenue is only bullets.


    "Even with this calculation, the gun shop is still losing money. We invested two million in the purchase of various firearms and ammunition, and the cost can''t be recovered." Mike took the account book and calculated, "But with this year''s inventory, we can buy it again next year. If it is held a few times, it will definitely be profitable."


    An Feng was very satisfied: "I didn''t plan to be able to take care of my own profits and losses, but now it seems that you have managed the gun shop very well."


    Mike smiled: "The main thing is to pick the right date and get the promotion in place. By the way, there is something I want to tell you."


    "What''s up?"


    "Excluding the ammunition prepared for the next year, the gun store has nearly one million unplanned funds. The inventory of guns is already sufficient. I don''t recommend continuing to buy in large quantities, so I want to set up a branch store and use the newly created fame to publicize Let��s expand our business.��


    An Feng asked: "Have you considered where to open it and who will manage it?"


    Mike already has a choice: "I have counted the number of visitors this time, and there are more in the direction of Austin, where we can set up a chain store and send enough employees. As for the manager, if you don''t mind, I recommend Tanya, she is here The performance in this event was very good.��


    An Feng smiled and didn''t mind: "I also think she can manage it."


    Mike asked: "Is it settled like this?"


    "That''s it." An Feng nodded.


    ��


    The expansion of the gun store is a good thing. There are too many idle funds, and it is not good to leave it moldy. Although Tanya is younger, she has shown a strong sense of responsibility in the past two days. With her father''s help, it should not be difficult. After An Feng went back, everyone held a bonfire party at night, roasting venison, and the fragrance was 100 meters.


    The event in the evening was very enjoyable. An Feng invited the cowboys from the ranch, the guy from the gun shop, Mike and his daughter Tanya. Everyone ate, drank and chatted, and got to know each other. The laughter continued until late at night, and the excitement gradually came to an end... The next day, I packed my bags and prepared to leave.


    Ye Ning''s next stop is Houston. They plan to return the car after visiting the space city, and then fly back to China. Wang Le and Lisa need to go to New York to spend Christmas with their relatives there. An Feng naturally wants to go back, so this is where they bid farewell.


    On the way to the airport, Wang Le and An Feng discussed: "I plan to go to Miami two days after Christmas. Is your ship leaving on New Year''s Eve?"


    "At eight o''clock in the morning after the Chinese New Year, set sail on time." An Feng said.


    "Okay, let''s meet there, good luck!" After Wang Le finished speaking, he hugged An Feng, shook hands with Joanna, and said goodbye to each other.


    An Feng didn''t leave immediately, he stopped by the GP company on the way.


    Christmas is approaching, some employees have been on vacation, but there are still some who stick to their posts. It was a coincidence that An Feng came here. The chip team leader headed by Song Wenrui was also planning the work for next year, so An Feng gave some advice. It is related to the research and development of supercomputers with certain intelligence.


    After he said something, Song Wenrui asked: "Does it need to involve the biological field?"


    "Part of it is because its intelligence requires bionics." An Feng glanced at the crowd who were full of interest, and continued: "This work will be done in cooperation with the Los Angeles research center. You should plan to deal with biological experts next year. You will get a lot New and creative."


    Very challenging job, Song Wenrui is very interested: "If it can be manufactured, does it mean that artificial intelligence is possible?"


    "Probably." An Feng gave an uncertain word for the first time.


    Everyone is very surprised. From now on, An Feng''s tone is either negative or affirmative. Words like "should" rarely appear.


    There are many reasons why An Feng didn''t say it... The graphene computer is not strong enough, he has to consider a more powerful one, but the current foundation in all aspects is very weak, even if there is a way, it can''t be built, so An''s industry under construction is very important. Everything must be coordinated and developed simultaneously.


    Said some important matters, left the plan of the intelligent computer, and adjourned the meeting.


    I also talked to Eve about some things in the office, and finally threw her a very absurd job: find a construction company that can dig underground caves.


    Eve was curious about what it was for, and An Feng told her it was because of interest.


    In the end, she automatically understood it as "a rich man''s unreasonable doomsday fantasy". But who cares what to mine as long as you pay enough fees?


    ��


    An Feng and Joanna returned to the vineyard.


    California is good, there is no winter, and after the two-piece suit in Texas returns here, it directly becomes a summer suit.


    At this time, the atmosphere of Christmas is already very strong, but this year there is another major event that attracts Americans more��the presidential election.


    In the general elections in November, the electors of each state have been selected, and it can only be truly established on the second or third Monday after December. The "electors" elected by each state go to the state capitals to vote, with more than 270 votes to determine the presidential candidate.


    An Feng has been immersing himself in planning for the future recently, and the US president is not so important in comparison... Afterwards, he looked around the whole process online. Ad wars, campaign speeches, voter meetings, press conferences, and public debates are the order of the day, and now it''s time to tell.


    Refer to the support rate of the candidates of the two parties on the Internet, each has its own strengths and weaknesses, and even in China on the other side of the ocean, there are also discussions on these things. Usually the Republican Party represented by conservatism is not liked by them. After all, the Conservative Party is foreign. Likes a tough relationship.


    For example, when it comes to dealing with China and Russia, the Republican Party has a very hard mouth.


    However, neither the Democratic Party nor the Republican Party has a good attitude towards the "enemies" that the United States considers. In the speeches or debates of the presidential election, the two candidates were aggressive on the issue of China''s rise, speaking harshly and promising to do cruel things. Words such as contributing to world peace abound.


    No way, voters can do whatever they like.


    The final result was that Anderson, who was very eloquent, defeated his opponent and initially won 300 votes. Although the election has not yet ended, his election is already certain. California, which used to be the backyard of the Democratic Party, this time because the state government is composed of a Republican team Because of the huge impact, it won the most 55 votes, and all the votes in Texas also contributed to Anderson.


    Anderson''s victory speech was being played. He took a few glances at it. The guy''s face was full of red. Afterwards, he thanked his wife and children who had always supported him... An Feng was also a little happy. Although Anderson also had other groups supporting him, the biggest part was from their side.


    But it does not mean that they will be unscrupulous when Anderson becomes president. As the opposition party, the Democratic Party will still stare at it. Not a fuel-efficient lamp.


    Anderson''s election as president means that he will take the lead in many things, such as the oil issue in the United States, which can give them a lot of convenience, or the development of GP. You must know that antitrust is a troublesome task, and if the president is behind it, the burden will be easier.

 Chapter 247： Pure Electric Plan

    Chapter 247 Pure Electric Plan


    Before Christmas, An Feng brought his wife to the appointment on time.


    I made an appointment in advance before coming here, so as soon as I got off the plane, there was a special car to pick me up. This time it was a silver-gray Bentley and two Land Rover. The bodyguards in black opened the doors and the driver helped them with their luggage. The two got into the car, with the Land Rover leading the way, followed by the Bentley and drove out of the airport.


    Mrs. Sinclair received guests with a very high standard, perhaps the rigor of a British butler, paying attention to details and etiquette everywhere. The convoy drove steadily on the road, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry. On both sides of the road were vast farmlands and occasional running horses. The scenery was beautiful and the country atmosphere was strong.


    Compared to the barren Midwest of Texas, this area is surrounded by mountains and rivers, full of greenery. Except for the different climate, it is somewhat similar to the scenery in the UK.


    When there were rows of towering trees on the side of the road, An Feng knew that he had arrived at his destination.


    The convoy drove on the private road, drove for a few more minutes, and stopped in front of the main building after crossing the verdant green lawn and the flat mirror-like lake. A row of male and female servants stood at the main entrance as usual, while the master stood in front, and on her right hand side were the children and grandchildren, and the reception was grand.


    The car stopped, and the door was opened by the servant.


    An Feng and Joanna got out of the car, and the servant went to pick up the luggage, while Mrs. Sinclair stepped forward: "Welcome both of you!"


    An Feng smiled and shook hands with the old lady: "Thank you for your grand hospitality! The environment here is getting more and more beautiful, full of vitality everywhere."


    While An Feng was greeting the old lady, Joanna also greeted the others with a smile on her face. When the butler, who was watching the words and expressions, felt that it was all right, he led the way and invited everyone into the house. Everyone walked into the hall while chatting, the servants retreated, and the welcome ended.


    ��


    Every time An Feng is a guest, he can feel the strong British feelings.


    This kind of heritage cannot be buried even in the funny America in the eyes of the British, or even in a barren place like Texas. Afterwards, it was said that except for the original British butler, the other servants were carefully selected and professionally trained, and some even traveled across the ocean.


    After the luggage was settled, it was afternoon. Invited by the old lady, we had afternoon tea in the backyard garden and chatted by the way.


    The old lady looked very good, and she couldn''t think of her sickness a year ago at all. Now people feel full of energy and vitality, and the conversation is also very interesting. For example, when the servant counted the wrong dishes just now, the cold British humor in her mouth came out unconsciously: "I have lived in the United States for so long. They count like this: ''One, two, three, four, another, another, another...''."


    An Feng froze, it was so cold.


    Joanna said: "Even though the world has promoted the metric system, Americans who insist on imperial units are indeed a bit inferior in arithmetic."


    The old lady nodded in agreement.


    Talking about today''s Internet, the old lady is also fashionable and proficient in surfing the Internet, so she said again: "I recently tried Wikipedia, and found that besides the "English" option, there is also "simple English". Just weird, doesn''t it mean ''Americans please order this''?"


    An Feng laughed again. Fortunately, there were no Americans around, otherwise it would be embarrassing.


    Cold humor is the nature of the British, and it belongs to this group of depressed and even neurotic people who often use teasing, sarcasm or self-deprecating. After communicating with the old lady, you have to admire her quick thinking. Fortunately for An Feng, Joanna is quite normal.


    But there are exceptions... For example, last time she asked herself: "How do you convince Americans to participate in a war?"


    An Feng couldn''t answer, so she said, "Tell them the war will end soon."


    Look here.


    ��


    As a religious holiday, Christmas is very grand in the West. Christmas trees are hung, turkeys are roasted, and the family gathers at the dining table to share a warm dinner. Except for eating, you don''t need to do anything else. There are servants standing behind you to ensure that the guests'' wine glasses or plates are always full.


    After dinner, they went back to the study to chat.


    People came together, apart from Bazel and Matthew''s family, the eldest daughter Christine, and Mr. Sinclair''s brother were also present. In addition to talking about the family, it also talked about the work after the year. Now that the presidential election is over and the consortium has gained power, it is indeed necessary to seize the opportunity.


    Bazel talked about the development of GP and the competition between GP Energy and the traditional oil field. He suggested that GP Energy should prepare for listing after another year of brewing. Even if the company is rich, the fastest way to attract funds is to go public, especially if the GP company has stronger technology.


    Bazel analyzed: "The current two subsidiaries are licensed by GP. They are only responsible for production and have no core technology R&D department. To some extent, as long as GP interrupts the authorization or no longer provides technology, Subsidiaries will struggle. Under this premise, the development of subsidiaries can be very fast, and their success or failure will not have a fatal impact on the parent company."


    This is what Anfeng insisted on at the beginning. After the company was listed, under the condition of absolute control, the giants could acquire only 49%, which could not shake the control. In the event of a price drop or other changes, the subsidiary can be discarded at any time, after all, the technology is with the head office.


    By the same token, in the production of anticancer drugs, the research center also holds the power of life and death. At present, the pharmaceutical factory is only a cooperation between Sinclair and An Feng, but there is no guarantee that there will be other situations in the future, but the possibility is very small. After all, this is a profitable industry, and no one is stupid.


    They concluded that the current major investment of the consortium, and with the funding provided by three super profitable companies, it is necessary to continue to expand the manufacturing field, and even the oil industry can slow down and turn to other promising things, such as investment automobile industry.


    Matthew''s idea is very favorable to Anfeng. He said: "I suggest that GP should acquire some European car brands when the funds are sufficient. According to the current market, the cost of super batteries is relatively high, so it is suitable for high-end cars. , our strategy is correspondingly high-end cars.��


    An Feng agreed: "I think some sports cars are fine. If you are familiar with cars, you will understand the lethality of electric motors on gasoline engines. As long as there is enough power and a reasonable battery layout, its performance will be better than that of gasoline engines." The car is better and stronger."


    Bazel asked: "But which brands?"


    This is not to say that if you have money, you will sell it, especially if some brands are overvalued in the market. With the current GP company''s foundation, although it has some money, it is not yet rich and powerful��and if you start late, you will miss the use Time for high-quality electric vehicles to build momentum.


    There are many problems here, An Feng thought for a while, and said: "Let me give you an alternative, Porsche, Maserati or Aston Martin, choose one. The three produce both luxury cars and sports cars. The first two Both of them are involved in professional events and have high sales in the United States.��


    International crude oil prices continue to rise, and pure electric vehicles are definitely the future trend. Today, when GP Energy promotes automobile transformation, if you seize the opportunity to acquire automobile brands and take advantage of GP Energy''s own advantages, there is a great chance to form a new profit items.


    The most critical thing for a pure electric vehicle is the battery.


    Battery is not a problem for GP at all, because the development of pure electric power is also no problem.


    After hearing this, Matthew said: "It''s a very good idea, and we will focus on it."


    In addition to planning a wider range of money in An Feng''s mind, he also wants to satisfy his curiosity. After acquiring a big brand, he can naturally modify it according to his own opinions, such as developing a more powerful motor, holding some novel electric car competitions, etc. Wait.


    Bazel also gave his opinion: "According to the popularity of Tesla in the market today, the European and Asian markets cannot be ignored. Regarding the aesthetics of vehicles, perhaps European cars are more popular, so in the case of GP Energy''s insufficient funds Now, the family can also contribute.��


    ��


    In addition to the development of GP, there is also the matter of pharmaceutical factories. The old lady is very optimistic about anti-cancer drugs. After all, she has personally experienced the technology of the research center. An Feng exchanged 55% of the shares of the pharmaceutical factory for 15% of Xin''s Energy. She has no objection, which is also a bundle of interests to some extent.


    An Feng wanted to tie them together, and Sinclair also wanted to win An Feng over. Therefore, the problem of reciprocal cooperation is not a big problem. As long as the tested drugs have sufficient effects and pass the FDA test, funds and shares can be prepared immediately to achieve the goal of win-win cooperation for both parties.


    The pharmaceutical factory Anfeng only holds 45% of the shares, but in fact he holds 70% of the shares in the research center. The authorization of the pharmaceutical factory is on the research center side. According to the agreement, it needs to pay 25% of the profit dividend every year. Fundamentally speaking , An Feng still holds the fate of anticancer drugs in his hands.


    ��


    In the new year, the consortium is gaining power again, and there are many things. As a core member, An Feng, although he doesn''t participate in many activities, he has key voting rights on major matters. For example, he has the power to veto the plan for GP to acquire a car brand.


    Anderson��s advantages after being elected must be fully utilized. The old lady has gradually let go. Now that she is in good health, she has passed the burden of the family to her descendants. It is said that she plans to return to the UK for the New Year and catch up with old friends whom she has not seen for many years. After the hustle and bustle of Christmas, everyone went their separate ways.


    An Feng did not go back to California, but went directly to New York.


    First take two sets of dresses, and the last custom-made ladies watch. On the cruise ship, you have to attend the reception dinner on the ship, and as the hostess, you don''t have a bit of style. Then go for a new look, Joanna wants to curl her hair a little better with a new dress... while An Feng just reads magazines.


    There are also some talking about transportation fashion, such as the trend of electric vehicles. It''s like the iPhone in An Feng''s hands. If you only watch the time and make a few calls every day, its standby time is more than half a month, but it only takes half an hour to charge. Even if the price is slightly higher than the regular version, it is still fashionable.


    Similarly, electric cars are also popular, but the sales of American cars in Europe are not very good, and the aesthetics are different. Tesla only relies on super batteries to expand sales, and it has to face competition from other brands. European car companies They have sent people to the United States to negotiate business with GP Energy.


    Electric vehicles are already an unstoppable future trend, especially as Sinclair predicts that oil prices will continue to rise this year. The battle for the market has already begun, and those who seize the opportunity will make crazy money. An Feng made a super battery, so there is no need to let go of the electric car.

 Chapter 248： private resort

    Chapter 248 Private Resort


    Experienced as a tourist, An Feng is satisfied with the various entertainment items on the cruise ship, and the food is also very good. It is good to focus on luxury. At present, there are about 4,000 tourists on board and 1,350 crew members, reaching a ratio of 1:3 The numerical ratio is basically on call.


    Back to the room after dinner, the talented waiters even folded their sheets into cute images such as elephants, puppies or turtles, which are very pleasing to women. The luxury suites are cleaned three times a day, once in the morning, at noon and at night, so that tourists have no privacy, but they feel comfortable.


    Blowing the sea breeze that night, lying on a soft and comfortable bed, An Feng gave a high score to the first day of the journey. He has high requirements for the environment. If he is also satisfied, more than 70% of the people will be satisfied. A good start and a reflection of the excellent management of Oceanic Lines.


    Early the next morning.


    Looking at the sea view, I was too lazy to have breakfast, so I picked up the phone and called room service. Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang, and the meal was brought to them, and they sat beside the bed to eat it. When the waiters cleaned up, they recorded their favorite dishes, hoped for any improvement, whether it will be the same tomorrow morning, and so on.


    An Feng mentioned some of his favorites, and then asked: "Miss, do tourists in this area have this kind of treatment, or do all tourists have it?"


    The food delivery lady said: "Visitors in every area can make requests in this regard, and we will try our best to make everyone feel comfortable and relaxed."


    An Feng said: "The company''s requirements are quite strict, right?"


    She smiled: "A little bit. But large cruise ships are demanding, especially this kind of cruise ships that require five-star service."


    "Thank you, you deserve it." An Feng took out several ten-dollar bills and handed them to her. She accepted them happily and thanked her several times.


    I was lazy for another ten minutes, and went to shower after digesting. It was already past eight o''clock when I came out. Everyone got up early, and some of them went out to watch the sunrise. The daily activity schedule and sunrise time were shown on the TV, and they even provided itinerary reminder services thoughtfully.


    There are more detailed items in the manual, both on board and after docking, the itinerary of more than ten days will not be monotonous. When he was looking for something to play, Lisa suggested: "Let''s go to the top floor to exercise? The food provided by the cruise ship is too rich and complicated, and it is easy to gain weight."


    An Feng has also heard that the food on a luxury cruise ship is so good and there are many types, it can be called a foodie paradise, so it is normal to gain five or six catties after a trip, and proper exercise is necessary. At this time, Joanna also recommended Secret Treasure: "I recommend HG''s over-the-counter diet pills to you."


    "I''ve heard people say, does it work well?" Lisa took the box.


    Joanna advertised: "Very good. Bruce said that there is no harm to the body. You only need to exercise properly. It doesn''t matter if you let it go. I use some occasionally. Of course, I usually drink bitter mineral water, especially when exercising. Afterwards, it is very helpful for plasticity."


    "Really?" Lisa and Joanna walked in front and chatted.


    An Feng shrugged at Wang Le, and accompanied them to the top deck. There were quite a few of them. There were several coaches on the stage teaching everyone to dance a simple fitness dance. The audience was very enthusiastic, allowing tourists from other countries to experience the American attitude The love of sports, at least hundreds of people dance to the music.


    They also joined the team, twisting their bodies, burning fat in the mild sunlight. An Feng doesn''t have much fat, and Joanna is also very healthy, but Wang Le is having a great time. Now this guy is most afraid that he will become fat, and he won''t be good enough for his slender and hot wife.

    According to the boat track, it is a long-line trip to the Eastern Caribbean. There are many island countries along the way, all of which are beautiful and can be called a paradise. Just like St. Kitts Island, the natural landscape is outstanding and maintains a certain degree of primitiveness. Most of the islands are black people. First, tourism revenue is an important part of GDP.


    Sailing is basically a day on the boat and a day on the shore. It can combine work and rest. Those novel and beautiful islands and beaches have become adventure places that everyone yearns for. a happy thing.


    An Feng experienced some activities on the shore. The tile-blue ocean and the golden-white beach are a perfect match. There is also a snorkeling area with a suitable depth. Holding Joanna''s hand and exploring underwater together is a must-do for couples. Touch the colorful fish and underwater plants with your own hands.


    After floating up, An Feng took off the mask and wiped off the water on his face. Joanna shook her wet hair back like a goddess, facing the sun, every movement was very beautiful, An Feng looked tempted, He stepped forward and hugged her and kissed her, her crisp laughter kept coming.


    Take off the snorkeling equipment and take her back to the beach. On the way, he said: "The beach is really nice. I have plans to develop a resort on St. Kitts Island."


    "Like Royal Caribbean''s private island?" Joanna asked.


    "Well, don''t you think it''s very good? It can be managed in a unified manner and more entertainment projects can be designed. As far as I know, not all the income of cruise ships is on board, and there are various activities and entertainment expeditions to land on islands. It''s like just now The snorkeling we play, tourists always pay a lot of money."


    Joanna said: "The beaches on the south coast of St. Kitts Island are very good, but they are not properly developed."


    "So I want to try." An Feng and she came under the umbrella, greeted the black waiter on the shore, gave him the boat card, and asked for two iced cocktails.


    Joanna said: "As your diplomat and donor, there should be no problem, and St. Kitts Island is also in the Eastern Caribbean region. You must know that this is the most popular route in the world. Not only us, other cruise ships The company''s eyes are on this sea area!"


    "After the cruise ship docks, I will discuss with San Qi." An Feng said, took the colorful cocktails handed over by the black man, and tipped him another five dollars.


    "You will make a great contribution." Joanna took a sip and stuck out her tongue, "Oh, I was deceived by its bright appearance, the degree is so high."


    "Is there any?" An Feng tried it, and it was indeed a bit, especially the ice cubes paralyzed the taste.


    "I still like fruit wine on St. Kitts Island." She said, "It is also a special item."


    "Smart." An Feng smiled, raised his chin and looked ahead, "Look at the two of them, how happy they are!"


    Wang Le on the beach is running with his wife on his back and a few other foreigners with foreign horses on their backs, surrounded by spectators, who are constantly shouting and excited.


    When the race was over, Wang Le and Lisa came back out of breath. An Feng asked with a smile, "Did you just play Zhu Bajie''s back-wife race?"


    "Why did you add the words ''Zhu Bajie''?" Wang Le said sensitively.


    "Haha." An Feng smiled.


    "It''s a beach triathlon: zipline, swimming, and sprinting on the back of a girl," Lisa explains, "but he''s too dumb to take first place."


    "I almost died of exhaustion." Wang Le took a sip of juice, and then added: "Almost sunburned! No, I have to use SPF50, PA+++ sunscreen."


    An Feng was speechless after hearing this: "You might as well wrap yourself up like a mummy!"


    "Good idea!" Wang Le unexpectedly picked up, "There will be a masquerade party tomorrow night, and I''m considering whether I want a special look."


    An Feng: "..."


    ��


    There were many activities on board. An Feng��s companion, Joanna, attended an elegant concert in formal attire. Like other gentlemen and ladies in formal attire, she immersed herself in Schubert��s wonderful melody and cultivated her sentiments...or occasionally went to the bar , drink a cup of pastime.


    Halfway through the journey, the Sapphire stopped at St. Kitts.


    St. Kitts Island also often has cruise ships docking, and the deep-water port of Basseterre can accommodate large-tonnage cruise ships. When we disembarked, the attractions brochure stated that this place is a newly opened destination, with authentic Caribbean style and cozy villa resorts, as well as a standard 18-par golf course.


    To be honest, this island is not as good as the nearby St. Thomas, not in terms of natural scenery, but in the degree of development. In terms of natural scenery, the islands in the Eastern Caribbean have their own advantages. After getting off the boat, An Feng did not go to the resort on the island with the tourists, but chose to travel by car.


    He wants to inspect the southern coast of St. Kitts.


    Driving along the flat road, there is a hillside in front of you. According to the driver''s introduction, it is about 160 meters high, and there is a winding road to go there. When the car reached the top of the mountain, An Feng asked to stop and take a look. Standing on the side of the road overlooking the beach below the mountain.


    "This location is very good. You can design a zipline directly to the foot of the mountain, and the beach is not polluted. It is at least 500 meters long and the surrounding land is flat. It is an excellent choice for a resort." An Feng saw what he had seen before. There is not much difference in the area, very satisfied.


    The point is that it has not been developed and can give designers a chance to be creative. In addition, he is an official of his own country, and he is familiar with the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Defense...all senior officials will give him the convenience of a rich man who donates millions of dollars every year, as can be seen from the last time he bought a tank as a toy.


    He currently wants to have a private leisure area just like Royal Caribbean, which is exclusively open to the company''s tourists, as a gimmick to increase attractiveness��the ultimate goal is naturally to increase revenue. Although his advantage in the tourism industry is not great, it is also considered a personal interest.


    In addition to making robots, he also likes to plan the leisure resorts in his mind. Traveling around the world and enjoying the beautiful scenery is one of his goals, especially in the case that he may not be able to enjoy it in the future... After the driver drove down the mountain and arrived at the beach, he went barefoot to experience it.


    "Very good!" An Feng grabbed the sand on the ground, "It''s just not fine enough, try to transport some over here, and spread a layer here... Except for the beach, the sea water here is very good, there are both shallow water and deep water, completely A resort could be built behind this."

    The company''s private resort can cater to the curiosity-seeking psychology of tourists, and it is also more convenient in management and security, and can freely add entertainment items. As for the local government, they like to attract investment, which will mean land lease fees, consumption tax, and corporate income tax.


    After An Feng''s field experience, he made up his mind.


    They drove back to the resort beach in the west. The calm resort area became very lively because of the arrival of this large group of tourists. There were countless sunbathing tourists lying on the clean beach, and there were a large group of bikini girls and male companions in the water. Playing, the cold drink shop on the shore is also very busy, and Xiao Hei, who shuttles back and forth among the crowd, has a smile on his face after receiving a generous tip...


    "Back to nature!" Joanna kicked off her slippers, stepped barefoot on the soft sand, and took off her skirt as she walked. She was wearing a light blue bikini underneath. An Feng took the skirt from her, Pulled by her to the side of the beach: "Where are they!"


    Lisa in the water greeted them: "Here!"


    "Of course." After Joanna finished speaking, she turned to look at An Feng: "Honey?"


    An Feng took off the sunglasses on top of her head, looked at it, and nodded: "This is more suitable, I still have some things, you go first."


    "Waiting for you." After she finished speaking, she walked towards the ocean.


    An Feng returned to the rest area, and Wang Le, who was lying under the umbrella, pulled down his sunglasses and said with a smile, "Is this finally back?"


    "The purpose is very simple. To investigate local resources, don''t think about it." An Feng picked up Joanna''s handbag, stuffed her clothes into it, and threw it beside Wang Le.


    "The field trip is really interesting." Wang Le continued to laugh.


    "Evil people must have evil hearts." An Feng unscrewed the cap of the mineral water, took a few sips for himself, and then lay down beside him, stretching his limbs comfortably.


    "What are you doing here?" Wang Le asked him.


    "Field fighting." An Feng said casually.


    "Damn it, is it true?" Wang Le was surprised, "You don''t want to play with the good environment on the boat, but you want to go to the wilderness to be exciting?"


    "Get out!" An Feng said angrily, "You don''t believe me when I say it''s a field trip, and you don''t believe it when I say it''s a field battle. What should I say?"


    "There is an inside story." Wang Le smiled, picked up the phone and looked at it a few times, "It''s rare to have a signal, I need to add a few hate messages, and then add beautiful illustrations..."


    "Look at you." An Feng shook his head, but there were many beauties on the beach, so he also picked up his phone.


    He has to reserve that place, and get it done quickly while he has free time. After thinking about it, he called San Qi and talked to him about the investment. Sanqi was very grateful to him for choosing St. Kitts as the docking place of the Sapphire, and expressed his serious consideration to his idea.


    An Feng knew that the investment was not difficult, and the other party only thought about leaving time to negotiate the price. The initiative was still on An Feng''s side. If he didn''t let the Sapphire dock at St. Kitts, there would be a large loss of income here. Weighing the pros and cons, San Qi absolutely knew not to offend the benefactor.


    The thing is not difficult, the only thing is the investment amount, but now it is a holiday, An Feng doesn''t think about it for the time being, squinting for a while, a black uncle is dangling in front of his eyes, his eyes match the uncle''s, and the other party comes over, and said mysteriously : "Sir, can you see?"


    The black uncle had a box in his hand, opened it, and took out a black stone the size of an egg.


    An Feng wondered: "What is this?"


    "Shenshi." The black uncle said in a low voice, looking around for fear that others might hear it.


    "Pfft!" An Feng laughed, "Sorry, tell me again, what is this?"


    "Sacred Stone." The black uncle said solemnly, "The treasure I got by accident, whenever night falls, it will show a magical suspension..."


    An Feng listened to the half-truths and asked, "How much?"


    "Three thousand dollars!" said the black uncle.


    "Oh! I don''t have that much money!" An Feng said disappointedly.


    "Then how much do you have?" the black uncle asked.


    He took out his trouser pocket and took out a five-dollar bill: "That''s all."


    The black uncle shook his head: "It''s a sacred stone!" After speaking, he left disappointed. An Feng looked at it, and he sold it to the next tourist.


    Wang Le, who also saw this scene, smiled: "I thought he was going to make a deal."


    "I guess I want to find one with a higher price." An Feng pouted, "When I had a friend who went on a trip before, he also met a merchant who recommended jade for him, and the price was 500, but he said he only had 50, which is weird It��s actually a deal! In fact, the price of the treasure is five yuan.��


    "It''s really treacherous." Wang Le shook his head, "Let''s not talk about it, let''s go swimming��you see, my wife seems to have been accosted by a little boy?"


    "Tragedy." An Feng gloated.


    "And your wife too."


    "How courageous!" An Feng jumped up with lightning, and walked over eagerly.


    Without a male companion, it is inevitable for a woman with a good figure to be approached. Just when the fair-faced boy was showing off his charm, An Feng walked over and poked him straight: "Hi, beauty?"


    "What?" Joanna looked at him, and An Feng didn''t talk nonsense, so he went up to hug her and kissed her passionately, and said after finishing, "I like this direct feeling!"


    "Me too." She shyly cooperated.


    As she said that, Joanna was taken down by An Feng, who came later and came first, while the white-faced brother wondered, "It''s okay."


    ��


    The leisure on the island lasted until the afternoon, after which tourists returned to Hong Kong by car. This is the southernmost stop of the Eastern Caribbean trip, and the next return journey will also pass through different countries and regions. While waiting for the pick-up car, the black uncle met them again.


    "Hi, Mr. Shenshi?" An Feng greeted casually.


    The black uncle glanced at Mr. Wuyuan, shook his head and sighed. Joanna was more sympathetic, so she asked, "What''s wrong, sir?"


    "I have a sacred stone." The black uncle''s voice was vicissitudes, "If I hadn''t been in a hurry to use the money, I would never have taken it out."


    Joanna looked at the smooth stone in his hand and asked, "God stone?"


    "It will show a magical scene on a night when the moon is high." The black uncle said dejectedly, "It was originally a family heirloom to be left to my son."


    "What''s wrong with your son?" Joanna asked.


    "I want to give him a present for his twelfth birthday, but I have no money." The black uncle said.


    "How much is it?" Joanna asked.


    "Three thousand dollars!" said the black uncle.


    "Three hundred." Joanna bargained, seeing the uncle hesitated, she continued: "It''s getting late, these tourists leave, and the next batch will be five days away."


    The uncle struggled for a long time. Seeing the fewer and fewer tourists around, he finally nodded reluctantly. Joanna smiled and took out three banknotes from her handbag and handed them to him. An Feng took the stone that he regarded as his treasure. It was not light, and he even gave it a gift box, but there was no magic in it.


    An Feng asked her puzzledly: "Can this stone still be used as a necklace?"


    Joanna said: "Just take it as a good deed. I think he is really in a hurry."


    "Then you still lower the price to 300?" An Feng said.


    "There are limits to doing good deeds." She made sense.


    "It makes sense." An Feng smiled, she was sympathetic, undefeated, and a good woman. Pulled her into the car, and returned to the harbor with other tourists.


    ��


    An Feng didn''t care how magical the stone was, he just threw it in the suitcase as a gift box, then went to shower, changed clothes and had dinner. There are still two docking places on the return journey, and the rest of the time is spent on sea voyages. An Feng continues to experience every detail of the cruise.


    The cruise ship has advantages and disadvantages, but overall it is good.


    After the 11-day and 10-night voyage, I often hear some tourists say that they have gained a lot of weight... An Feng glanced at the past, and there were indeed many people who gained weight. Almost everyone rated the catering service of the cruise ship as five-star Yes, the reason is that it is too delicious to stop.


    After the cruise ship docked, An Feng revealed his identity as the boss, and disembarked through the VIP channel.


    He didn''t want to wait any longer, so he asked the captain to take him out without inspection. Say goodbye to Wang Le again, he has other plans. An Feng took Joanna back to the local mansion by car, planning to stay for another day and hand over the advantages and disadvantages recorded by An Feng during the trip to the company director for him to improve.


    I went to the company in the morning and told the company director Franson about the experience. Franson attaches great importance to the boss''s words and said that he will rectify every inadequacy. However, rewards and punishments are clearly defined. An Feng still praised the efficiency of the cruise team. There are shortcomings, but there are more advantages.


    Going home at noon, Joanna is sorting out the harvest on the sofa.


    "Is this bag here?" An Feng picked up a Gucci handbag that was discarded on the ground.


    "It''s so annoying to bump into people when you just go out on the street!" Joanna said.


    "It''s not easy to support you." An Feng picked up his bag to check, in case he lost his documents or something... But they are all **** bikinis, full of surprises.


    There is also a box containing the **** stone.


    Since it was brought on board, it has nothing magical, it was thrown aside and never moved. Opened the box, played with the black metal stone, threw it on the ground, it fell at a normal speed - but at the last moment it was suspended and did not touch the ground.


    "What?" An Feng was surprised, and reached out his hand to touch the bottom, making sure that there was nothing on top of the stone, so he picked it up again, and let go of it again.


    is still suspended, about three or four centimeters above the ground.


    "It''s weird!" An Feng thought about the thing in his hand, could it really be a stone infused with divine power?


    After much deliberation, I had no idea, so I heard Joanna, who lowered her head and pressed her phone, pleading softly: "Honey, the air conditioner is so cold, come and hug me."


    "You turned the temperature too low." An Feng said.


    "It was too hot when I came in," she quibbles.


    "Okay, Your Lady Queen." An Feng went to find the remote control, picked it up, and froze, "Wait, wait..."


    "The room temperature is 22 degrees Celsius." An Feng muttered, and then looked at the guy floating on the ground, "Room temperature superconductor?"


    "What?" Joanna glanced over and realized, "This is... magic?"


    "Of course, it''s amazing, right?" An Feng said casually. He raised the temperature of the air conditioner by two degrees and threw stones a few times. No matter what height it was from, it remained suspended.


    "It''s so interesting! Tell me the reason!" She crawled over from the sofa, lying beside him and shaking him.


    An Feng thought for a while and explained: "It may be a room temperature superconductor. Under appropriate temperature conditions, it will repel the earth''s magnetic field under its feet and suspend itself. If the temperature is too high, it will lose its superconducting properties. The temperature outside the house At least 30 degrees Celsius, it is estimated that it will not be able to levitate."


    An Feng took the stone outside and let go, it fell directly to the ground this time. When brought back to the house at 24 degrees Celsius, it can still maintain a suspended state.


    "It''s amazing," she said.


    "It''s not just magical, I''m afraid it''s not an exaggeration to call it a ''sacred stone''." An Feng said.


    "Oh?" Joanna''s physics knowledge has long been forgotten.


    An Feng threw stones: "For example, it can create suspended UFOs and allow cars to fly off the ground. Is it powerful enough?"

 Chapter 250： Search

    Chapter 250 Looking for


    An Feng knew that its functions were far more than that.


    Room-temperature superconductivity is currently an "impossible" concept. The latest technology of superconductivity also needs to be realized at ultra-low temperatures of minus 70 to 80 degrees Celsius. Scientists are working hard to find high-temperature superconductivity (compared to low temperatures, high temperatures are also below zero). Room-temperature superconductivity is the ultimate dream.


    Superconductors have many functions, superconducting power generation, transmission and storage, as well as maglev trains, superconducting computers, or controllable nuclear fusion reactions, magnetic fluids, electromagnetic pulse bombs... Humans have a great demand for superconductors, and its market is in a straight line Growth, last year was estimated to be 200 billion US dollars.


    But there is a premise: low temperature environment.


    Only by using liquid nitrogen or a stronger catalyst to control the temperature at minus 70 or 80 degrees Celsius can superconductivity be achieved, which is too expensive to be popularized at all. If there is a high-temperature superconductor, or even a room-temperature superconductor in the concept, it will definitely trigger a new revolution in technology and affect the whole world.


    Using the strong magnetism of superconductors, the magnetic field can confine the fusion plasma, making controllable fusion possible.


    There are also ultra-high-efficiency generators and cables. Superconductivity means no resistance, which means zero loss in the entire transmission process. We must know that the loss rate of long-distance power supply in the world is about 8%, and energy is wasted. If superconducting power transmission technology can be used, the efficiency will be doubled.


    Even for quantum computers, artificial intelligence has gradually surfaced after nuclear fusion has the premise. The key material is a superconductor with a sufficiently high temperature (still below zero). Now directly give him a room temperature superconductor, which is simply a godsend. With one stroke, the problem is solved.


    ��


    The stones obtained by accident became the biggest gain during the journey.


    The black man couldn''t understand its scientific value, but An Feng knew very well that many technologies in his head would use superconductors, strong magnetic fields to constrain controllable nuclear fusion, and zero resistance so that energy would no longer be lost... strong current applications, weak current applications or Antimagnetic applications are excellent.


    In terms of influence, superconductors will even be more extensive than graphene. Room-temperature superconductivity is a far-off concept, but now that there is a room-temperature superconducting metal substance in hand, An Feng only needs to go back to the laboratory to analyze its composition, and maybe there is a way to imitate it.


    Joanna was confused when she heard that, and she asked, "Wait, is it because the temperature is too high that it can''t float in the scorching St. Kitts Island?"


    An Feng said: "The local temperature is maintained above 32 degrees Celsius all year round. Superconductors need to be in a low-temperature environment, and room-temperature superconductors also follow the law. I estimate that superconductivity will only occur at low temperatures, and the black man said that it is at night, and the temperature may drop. a lot of."


    She still didn''t understand, and said, "Why don''t you go there to mine ore as soon as possible?"


    An Feng smiled: "Room-temperature superconductors must be very rare. If they were everywhere, then St. Kitts Island would have been famous all over the world. This may be the only one in the world. Even if there are still, the local transportation is inconvenient and mining is difficult. With great fanfare, it is easy to leak the wind.��


    "But you gotta be first," she said.


    "That''s right." An Feng nodded, "I''ll go back to discuss local development in a few days, and I''ll ask that black man to find out where it came from."


    ��


    An Feng and Joanna returned to California.


    It would be a little troublesome to bring such an unknown piece of metal on the plane privately. Fortunately, Anfeng��s private jet will save you the cumbersome security checks. After returning to San Rafael, Joanna continued her senior year as a senior. Basically, it is a pattern of fishing for two days and drying the net for three days.


    An Feng left the superconductor behind and set off with his assistant.


    The job of the prime minister of this country is equivalent to that of the mayor of the United States, and there are many assistants, so the job is very easy. It is said that he has the same hobby as O''Hei, and often plays golf.


    An Feng exchanged pleasantries with Sang Qi first, feeling that the Prime Minister has been busy with official duties recently, and he got a lot of tan for playing golf for the people... Then he got to the topic. For the investment in the southern area, Anfeng wants to treat it as a private resort of Ocean Shipping, and the company''s brand is exclusive to it.


    Sang Qi read the plan given by Jim, put it away and said: "There were people who wanted to invest in that area before, but they didn''t reach an agreement."


    An Feng understood very well: "Your Excellency, I will definitely give you a suitable price."


    "Sir, we will definitely give you the greatest convenience this time." San Qi said with a smile.


    An Feng also smiled, is it for the convenience of the dollar?


    But it��s the easiest way to be straightforward. After the discussion is over, I will go to the local area with San Qi again. After specific measurements, the beach facing the Atlantic Ocean is 800 meters long, the sand quality is average, but the natural and pollution-free sea water is very clear, the surrounding land is flat, and there are oceans on both sides.


    According to the operating model of a luxury resort, the shops built locally are linked to the company, and some employees can also be sent here. In addition, the development of alpine ziplines, shallow sea snorkeling, or motorboat swimming, seaside surfing and other entertainment projects can also be very rich.


    Except for the Sapphire, future cruises can choose the route here. Don��t worry about repeating it. The Eastern Caribbean is the most popular route. Dozens of cruise ships run here, and no one says they��re tired of it. Except for the distance, they don��t have an advantage. , but can be compensated by speeding up the voyage.


    After Jim recorded the plan, An Feng did the second thing.


    "Looking for someone?" Sanqi asked.


    "Yes, I met him several times in the resort area. He once sold me some things. Who is going to prepare a birthday present for the child." An Feng said.


    "It''s simple, I will arrange a guide who is familiar with the local area to help you." Sanqi said.


    "Thank you." An Feng said.


    ��


    It is not difficult to find a person in the small island country. After the local guide went to the resort to inquire, he learned who the guy who mysteriously sold the "God Stone" to tourists was. It only took half a day to find him in the northern city. At the door of the house, the car stopped and the horn sounded.


    A black uncle came out of the house.


    He looked at An Feng in surprise. Although ten days had passed, he still had a clear impression of the guy who bought the sacred stone, and it''s a pity to think about it now.


    The guide turned to An Feng and asked, "Is that him? Sir?"


    An Feng nodded: "Yes."


    The guide said with a smile: "Weber, this gentleman is looking for you. He is a distinguished guest of Prime Minister Sanchi and our country''s diplomat in China."


    When Wei Bo heard An Feng''s name, he asked hesitantly, "What''s the matter?"


    "Speaking in the house?" An Feng asked.


    Weber hurriedly opened the fence of the yard, and invited everyone in.


    The house is very simple, just like the houses of other local residents, there is only one ceiling fan in the hall shaking feebly, making a creaking noise. Weber asked them to sit down on the wooden chairs, and then An Feng said, "Mr. Weber, I think you know me."


    Weber nodded.


    An Feng said: "I came to you to find out if you still have the stone from that day?"


    Wei Bo looked at An Feng, but didn''t answer right away.


    An Feng explained: "The thing is like this, my wife found it magical and liked it very much, so I want to prepare some for her as a gift."


    Wei Bo heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and shook his head with a smile: "I said that the sacred stone is unique, and there is only this one."


    The guide was very disdainful: "Stop bragging, when I asked about it just now, everyone said that you have been touching a stone as a treasure all day long, and you may not have earned much money."


    Weber''s face turned red. Although his face was very dark, he could still see a little.


    An Feng took out a copy of Franklin from his wallet and put it on the table: "Then tell me where I found it."


    Weber looked at the hundred dollars on the table, hesitating.


    An Feng put another one: "You only need to report an address."


    Wei Bo stared at the money, quite moved, but still said: "You give me another two hundred, and I will take you there!"


    An Feng looked at him, and Weber''s position was also very firm, and finally An Feng nodded: "Okay, four hundred dollars, take me to the place where I found it."


    "Not now." Weber said after receiving the money.


    "Why?" An Feng frowned.


    "It''s getting dark, and the place needs to climb a high mountain, and it takes only a few hours to walk." Weber explained.


    "Okay." An Feng said, "Well then, I''ll come to you tomorrow morning."


    Early the next morning, An Feng found Weber by car.


    The driver drove north according to Weber''s instructions. On the way, he talked about his experience: "I only discovered it by accident. I was working on the mountain that day, and it suddenly rained heavily. Floating in the rain, took it home..."


    After driving for five or six minutes, I came to the place Weber said.


    He pointed to a volcano and said: "The stone should have rolled down from it. It will take at least two hours for us to climb up from here."


    An Feng looked at it and said, "Lead the way."


    Weber led the way, An Feng and the local guide followed.


    The weather is very hot, and you will be sweating after walking for a while. Except for the sunny beach, there are no good memories in the tropical area. There is no road at all up the mountain, and they are all stepped out step by step. The speed of travel is very slow, and it takes more than two hours to reach the destination.


    "This is it." Weber gasped and looked at the two sweaty guys.


    An Feng looked around and found that the ideal was too beautiful. The surrounding area is desolate and barren, with a dormant volcano above his head, and a pile of yellow mud and gravel at his feet. He found some at random, and they were all common stones. There was no room-temperature superconductor he wanted at all. Later, Weber was asked to dig a few holes, but he didn''t find it.


    The guide asked suspiciously: "Sir, do you really need these stones?"


    An Feng nodded: "I like it."


    The guide suggested: "Perhaps, sir, you can hire workers to look around for those that meet the requirements, and maybe you won''t necessarily find them."


    An Feng originally didn''t want to say anything, because once there are more people, sooner or later someone will know the origin of these strange stones. Talk about hiring.


    Finally, an agreement was reached. For stones of the same size as last time, each was exchanged for 500 US dollars. For these lucrative businesses, Weber agreed without any hesitation.


    An Feng looked around again, and went back down the mountain after finding nothing.


    After going back, he chatted with San Qi for a while, trying to find out if the local minerals could be developed, and finally the other party gave an affirmative answer. But it is very difficult to mine resources. There are not many digging tools in the local area, at most some excavators and small agricultural trucks.


    An Feng regards this plan as an idea. Before confirming whether there is such a superconductor in the local area, he still focuses on small-scale exploration. After the quantity is confirmed, he will contract it and pack these extremely precious resources into in your own pocket.

 Chapter 251： represent the future

    Chapter 251 represents the future


    Even if he couldn''t find anything, An Feng didn''t regret it. He was lucky to have a sample. If the industrial technology is strong enough, it can be imitated. Although there are many shortcomings in the current technological environment, Anshi Industries appeared just to make up for the shortcomings in industrial technology.


    After leaving the investment plan, he returned.


    San Jose, in the robot company. At present, An''s Industry is listed here, and there are still very few employees, and it is mainly doing some recruitment plans. It will take half a year for the company building to be completed. The technology is ready, but the construction is lagging behind... An Feng decided to let a group of people learn first.


    An Feng called Hoffman over and asked him, "What is the team doing recently?"


    "Design drawings, improve machinery." Hoffman answered honestly.


    An Feng''s main purpose is not these, he asked: "Are you interested in working at the GP headquarters in Texas for a while?"


    "Changing jobs?" Hoffman hesitated.


    "Did you see that boss who took the initiative to invite employees to change jobs?" An Feng frowned, brother genius, can you use your brains in the normal world a little bit?


    Hoffman said: "No problem, I have wanted to see it for a long time."


    An Feng was used to his delay, so he said: "Leave the day after tomorrow. I will give you offices and laboratories. Before the company''s building is completed, you can learn more about chips and computers. If you have enough time, you can also join to the research and development of holographic projection equipment."


    "I love these," Hoffman said.


    ��


    This time, more than 20 people packed their luggage and set off, so An Feng finally boarded the civil aviation company.


    It��s been a long time since I��ve experienced queuing up for security checks, being welcomed by first-class flight mothers, and surrounded by bustling passengers�� He put on a blindfold and spent the journey lying down. The plane landed at Austin Airport, and the company sent super-capacity MPVs and electric vehicles to pick them up.


    The model that Anfeng is riding on has been launched in North America and Europe, and it is said that the market is very good. I thought that the market for a product with a price of 90,000 US dollars is not big, but with its battery life of 800 kilometers, it can be quickly charged in half an hour and supercharged in 15 minutes. The feat finally won the favor.


    On the way to the GP company, An Feng felt more and more that the workmanship of American cars was not as good as the delicate and unique European cars, and the ride experience was not as good. In some respects, high-end cars are the same as the manufacture of luxury goods. The United States can''t do well, and Europe has this kind of carefulness.


    So in addition to his official business this time, he also has to cast a key vote for the acquisition of a European car brand.


    ��


    The GP company building in Austin has been completed, with the highest 12 floors. It is a very large cross-shaped building. It can accommodate 10,000 employees to go to work. It is surrounded by green grass and green land, and an artificial lake has been dug to create a green mountain and green water. Surrounded by natural beauty.


    According to the measurement data, GP��s headquarters covers an area of ??30 acres. Currently, there are two artificial lakes and five buildings��but it will soon become four, because the old buildings affect the appearance and will be demolished to build a parking lot. In fact, the current headquarters building can also be regarded as a monolithic building, because in the bird''s-eye view, it is in the shape of a cross, that is, four buildings are put together to form a monolithic building.


    The twelfth floor is not high, but it is huge enough. The surface of the building is made of black glass curtain wall, and the wall is also equipped with electronic display functions. Both the visual effect and the architectural style are in line with the image of a high-tech company. An Feng is very satisfied with the designer''s creativity, which highlights the technological features.


    However, due to the overall consideration, the main entrance of the company is set up in a low-key position on the side. If it is not for the "GP" logo on the glass wall next to it, it would be a bit difficult to find. After parking the car, Eve opened the door, and An Feng, who was in a suit and leather shoes, got out of the car and strode forward vigorously.


    He observed that the color of the gate is gradually changing. From a distance, it is the same black as the whole, but the closer you get, the more transparent it becomes. When you are a few meters in front of the gate, you can see the hall inside through the glass door. , and a few steps forward, the sensor door automatically slides open to both sides.


    The hall can best reflect the culture of a company. The first impression Anfeng walks in is that it is clean and spacious. The marble floor under his feet is spotless and bright as a mirror. Facing the gate is the company reception desk, with several indoor plants dotted with greenery, and five dignified clerks smiling.


    On the white cultural wall behind them, the company''s name is written in carbon black relief material, echoing the graphene they developed.


    Seeing An Feng''s satisfied expression, Eve slowed down her pace.


    Opened the eyes of the subordinates who came to visit, it is spacious and spacious, reflecting the financial resources and strength of a large enterprise everywhere.


    It feels like a future enterprise in a sci-fi movie, with the maximum application of technology, the sharp-eyed Hoffman discovered that the hall is covered with an internal wireless network, and some of the surrounding touch display devices use the most advanced graphene technology. The same goes for chips.


    An Feng said: "Very good, Miss Ludlow, please continue."


    Eve smiled: "This way, please. The company has a total of sixteen elevators, one of which is dedicated, and can reach any floor with high authority."


    The company''s special elevator also caters to the same bright black as the theme, and there are no buttons around it. When Eve stood forward, the outline of her face was scanned, and then fingerprint recognition was performed. After the two items passed, the elevator door opened , everyone walked in in an orderly manner.


    Elevators with high intelligence close the doors after all people come in and run quietly.


    Eve introduced: "The special elevator can choose a multi-purpose mode. At the highest security level, it needs to perform facial contours, passwords, and retinal scans. It can go directly to the first and second floors of the basement, and can also enter the company''s confidential research department. It is in line with the Connected by security."


    While visiting the company, I listened to Eve''s introduction. As the headquarters and key research and development area, GP Company pays great attention to security and confidentiality work. The current security employees are all Aegis Security, including these advanced equipment. In addition, there are some core technologies developed in-house.


    They experience every place that exudes high-tech charm, intelligence appears in every corner, and security monitoring is carried out quietly. There is a set of core security software that monitors the building through computers and cameras, and any hidden dangers can be detected with the utmost care. Respond quickly.


    In classified departments above ten floors, security employees are equipped with guns 24/7. Texas'' gun laws are much looser than California''s. No wonder those spies couldn''t get any benefits here last time. There are both intelligent system monitoring and high-end security maintenance, and the possibility of infiltration is very small.


    The offices on both sides of the corridor in the office area are all made of glass walls, so that the dynamics of the employees inside can be seen from the outside. Under the leadership of Eve, he walked into one of the offices to experience it on the spot. It felt spacious and bright, with sufficient central air-conditioning heating and luxurious desks.


    Eve took him to a desk and introduced: "Currently, the company''s computers are already trialling microprocessors with a new architecture, and it is expected that one or two processor chips for home-use microcomputers will be released in the second half of the year. As for its performance , I recommend you to try it, sir."


    "Okay." An Feng sat on a chair, surrounded by a group of onlookers.


    When everyone saw the company''s "first assistant" warmly receiving a Chinese, they guessed that he was most likely the company''s legendary boss, founder and general technical consultant, no matter in terms of financial resources, intelligence or charisma Well, An Feng is the idol of many employees.


    An Feng is very proficient in using the built-in software to perform computer floating-point calculations, �� value calculations, etc. The results are a hundred times stronger than the best microprocessors on the market, and are even more handy in various complex multi-tasking processes. The performance of the new architecture microprocessor is very satisfactory.


    A female employee stepped forward and whispered, "Sir, can I take a photo with you?"


    An Feng raised his head and nodded with a smile: "Okay."


    Someone started it, but the enthusiasm behind it couldn''t be stopped. There are more female employees in this office. In the end, it turned into a group of OLs taking pictures around the boss. It was about to be out of control. Fortunately, there were enough security guards in the company to maintain it. order, An Feng was able to escape.


    This can be regarded as a relaxing time to visit.


    ��


    After spending more than an hour visiting, An Feng was very satisfied, and so were the fellow employees. From the moment I stepped into the company, I felt in a trance that I had traveled to the future and lived in a sci-fi world. There are virtual robotic female voices everywhere, full touch panels everywhere, and the smooth and fast GP network... If you add a group of robots shuttling among the crowd, there is no doubt that this must be a movie!


    Hoffman proposed the idea of ??adding machines to An Feng.


    An Feng said: "As long as you can do it, after robots and intelligent computers come out, there is no problem in accepting the control of a system."


    Hoffman said: "I really hope that the robot company will be like this in the future."


    "Yes." An Feng said. With the presence of An''s Industries, the technological level of the robot company will be even more advanced, and even make visitors doubt the reality.


    Hoffman''s team lives here temporarily.


    His team can use the office and equipment is very sufficient, enough for them to conduct research without any worries.


    GP Company has more than 1,000 employees, most of whom are researchers. The situation of GP Energy and GP Electronics, which share an office building, is the opposite. There are not many technicians, but a lot of marketing and management. At present, there are more than 4,000 employees working in the company, which is very spacious compared with a company that can accommodate 10,000 people.


    An Feng also felt the atmosphere of working here.


    I feel that the layout is rigorous and organized, but the actual management is very loose and there are few rules. The first is confidentiality, and the second is tasks. There is no such thing as clocking in at work, as long as you can complete the work tasks, the time is very random, but most people are very conscious-after all, there is a lot of competition pressure.


    As the world''s leading technology company, GP represents the future. Therefore, the salary is high and the environment is good, especially in the development stage, it is easiest to stand out. Anyone who has a pursuit will strictly demand himself. Those who didn''t have much pursuit were gradually dismissed, making the company a virtuous circle.

 Chapter 252： dividends

    Chapter 252 Dividends


    An Feng also met his office as he wished.


    The office is located at the front end of the top floor of the building, divided into two areas, inside and outside. The glass door enters the outer area. There is a desk directly opposite the door. The outer area is also the office area for the secretary and assistant. There are a few round-edged soft chairs and glass tables, and some evergreen plants are placed to add some greenery. .


    Passing through the outer area, you come to the lounge, where the air is fresher, because there are many indoor plants, there are a few soft chairs by the wall, and a set of table football, which can be used for leisure and entertainment when you are bored. You can also stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and look out. The windows here can be opened.


    The air vent on the top of the head adopts the dual mode of inner grille and outer grille, which ensures safety while ensuring ventilation. From a professional point of view, there is a built-in motion sensor here, as long as there are any huge creatures moving inside, it will automatically alarm.


    Turn left from the lounge, go up two flights of stairs, and behind the automatic door is An Feng''s office.


    Eve explained: "There are many voice-activated devices in the office, such as lighting and air conditioners. It is also very simple to use."


    The office is spacious, but simple, with a black desk with only a thin layer, on which a monitor and two telephones are placed. There are some books on the bookshelf next to it that no one will read, probably used as the background when receiving guests.


    This is the tallest twelfth floor. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the lawn and the calm lake, and you can also see the occasional pedestrians passing below and the cityscape in the distance.


    An Feng returned to the boss chair and sat down. It was ergonomically designed and provided with various massage methods. An Feng turned around and said, "Light!"


    All the lights were on, and Eve in front of her said, "Sir, you can also add some voice control items to control the lights or brightness of certain areas."


    An Feng clicked on the desktop computer, and the control software was inside.


    Eve also showed him the new technology. She picked up the remote control and pressed it, and the wall in front of An Feng gradually turned into a natural and elegant landscape painting. She pressed it again, and it turned into a beautiful snow-capped mountain, which was still dynamic. Scenery from around the world follows, vividly displayed on the wide walls.


    There are even changes in sound and air-conditioning temperature, room fragrance.


    "The screen is the crystallization of graphene technology. The realistic display effect is a great feat of the company''s development of display chips. Like the microprocessor chip, graphene can also be applied to the chip of the display card to achieve this false effect. With the sense of smell and temperature."


    An Feng smiled: "This is the rhythm that makes me unable to leave the office."


    Eve said: "If Mr. can stay for a long time, the employees who provide ideas will be the biggest contributors, and we all have to thank him."


    "I''m glad you said that." An Feng smiled, tapped his finger on the computer screen a few times, and then transferred the screen to the desktop��in fact, the table is a large touch screen. Press play, and an elegant swan dance will be shown on the wall, and then switch to a movie video.


    "It would be perfect if it is a three-dimensional projection." An Feng said.


    "I believe it will be realized sooner or later." Eve said, "Isn''t the technical expert brought by Mister this time for this purpose?"


    "That''s right." An Feng nodded.


    ��


    In addition to the experience, Eve reported some business.


    It is now mid-January, and it is also the day when major companies calculate their annual operating profits. The results have been drawn and displayed on the wall in the form of electronic books. Eve, who is familiar with finance, sat aside and explained to him about the company''s operations, earnings, etc. in the last fiscal year.


    GP��s largest profit source is its subsidiaries, of which GP Energy accounts for a large proportion, and GP Electronics only operated in the fourth quarter of last year, and the income is not good. GP Energy''s battery turnover reached US$11.8 billion, with a net profit of US$4 billion and a net profit margin of 34%.


    GP Energy��s net profit margin is very high, which means it is very profitable, and large companies can have 10% of high-quality products, and high-tech companies are relatively high, such as Apple and Microsoft, which are generally around 20%. This year, Apple has 32% , is one of the most profitable companies in the industry.


    High-tech companies are profitable, but other fields, such as oil, are miserable. The profit margin of the giants is 5%, or even 1%.


    GP Electronics started relatively late, but after four months of operation, it has also delivered a batch of minicomputers and servers. The turnover in this area is 1.5 billion US dollars, and the profit is 450 million, which is also more than 30%. The main reason is that the market has not been opened. Otherwise the chip will not be weaker than the battery.


    As for the separate licensing fee, for example, Apple��s US$2 billion is used for business expenses, and the funds are sufficient. That is to say, after deducting the provident fund, the distributable profit of the two subsidiaries will reach US$4.45 billion. After leaving some for budget, it will be Distribute 4.2 billion profits.


    According to the recent adjustments made by the headquarters of GP, it has increased its shareholding in GP Energy to 53%, GP Chips to 55%, and the distributable profit is 2.23 billion. An Feng holds 51% of GP''s shares, which means he Able to get 1.13 billion dividends from the previous year''s operations.


    After getting this number, An Feng was in a good mood.


    After waiting for more than two years, the company has finally brought profits to itself. Although it is not too high, but referring to the market growth rate in recent years and the continuous operation of the second and third battery workshops, the turnover will break through a certain amount sooner or later. 100 billion, and the profit will reach 20 to 30 billion. The future is bright.


    After the dividends were paid out, An Feng learned that GP Energy has reached an agreement with NASCAR''s Joe Gibbs team on the naming of advertisements. In this year''s race, the logo of GP Energy will appear on the car and On the driver''s clothing, expand the publicity area and increase the reputation.


    After sponsoring racing activities, GP companies can do another job��acquisition of car brands.


    He held a video conference with the major shareholders of the company in his office.


    The directors of the company have all considered the three brands that An Feng provided advice on, and made an analysis from the aspects of influence, operation and value. Obviously, Porsche is the best in all aspects, followed by Maserati, and then Aston. Martin; and so in value.


    Aston Martin''s global sales are not high, and its brand value and recognition are not as high as the former two. Needless to say, Porsche''s annual sales exceed 100,000, with a turnover of 15 billion US dollars, while Maserati''s world The sales volume also reached 20,000 units, with the United States topping the list.


    Porsche has a wide range of business, from entry-level sports cars, super sports cars, to sedans, and SUVs are involved; Maserati is mainly luxury cars, and the sales of President and Ghibli account for 70% of its production, followed by sports cars; Aston Martin, with sales in the early 5,000s and mostly sports cars, competes on unspecified, often overpriced cars��but has a very high net profit margin of 32 percent.


    Each brand has its bright spots, and it is difficult to choose.


    Considering that the battery is a new technology that must be reflected in performance, Aston Martin, which has a strong gentleman lineage, lacks explosive power and is temporarily ruled out. Followed by Porsche, the German Volkswagen did not want to sell, because the price is very dishonest, 20 billion US dollars.


    Finally, back to Maserati, Fiat Group��s operating conditions are also good. Its Ferrari and Maserati are both profitable. Chrysler, which is fully owned by Chrysler, has brought Jeep, Dodge, RAM and other brands to it. It can be said to be the seventh largest car in the world. group.


    A director of the company said: "Chrysler, which is heavily indebted, has dragged down Fiat to a certain extent. If they want to compete with the major giants in the pure electric field, they must learn to make trade-offs, transfer to Maserati, and integrate industries with overlapping businesses. Get funding to redevelop."


    "Maserati has market potential. The valuation of the acquisition is about 3.5 to 4.5 billion US dollars, which is also within the financial range of the company. Aston Martin is cheap, but the market is limited; Porsche is the best, but the public obviously disagrees. And the EU is also a problem."


    An Feng asked: "Your suggestion is Maserati?"


    The director nodded: "This is my opinion."


    "Let''s vote." An Feng said.


    An Feng looked at the result, and he had a veto power on this matter. Even if everyone agreed, he objected, and the directors would have nothing to do.


    But in the end he also raised his hand.


    Maserati is good, the luxury car experience is much better than Tesla, and sports cars and professional events can also satisfy his personal wishes.


    Next, we will consider how to make Fiat let go.


    ��


    After returning to California, his personal accountant, Hardy Locke, brought good news. First, the profits of HG Company were also distributed, and secondly, the sales profits of Legg Mason also belonged to him. Hardy explained some details and sources of funds to An Feng in San Rafael.


    The 25% share of HG''s weight-loss drugs brought him 110 million in revenue, which is very impressive. In addition, Mosaic''s 14% profit share is even stronger, directly bringing 450 million profits. This is also the case of Mosaic''s excessive expenditure this year. And they have to give him 2 billion in salary in June.


    In addition, although the research center does not expect much dividends, the income from cancer treatment is quite generous. In addition to the necessary expenses, there are still more than 20 million yuan left in An Feng''s pocket. Not much for An Feng, but it is also a value-added item.


    In the future, it is predicted that anti-cancer drugs will also receive 3 billion from Sinclair within this year. Adding up all of them, the estimated total revenue this year will be 6.69 billion, and the potential personal tax will be 2 billion US dollars��of course it will not be so stupid Those who hand in for nothing can deduct too many items.


    By the end of January, most of the funds had arrived.


    If it weren''t for being a member of the consortium and controlling the American Express Company, I''m afraid those account managers would still bother themselves, what kind of funds, bonds and the like, in short, don''t put the money in the bank to depreciate, or give it to the tax bureau for nothing There are many reasons for deducting so much personal tax.


    But now that his ears are clean, he has a lot of time to plan his consumption.


    Among the items that must be spent first, the racetrack will cost at least 250 million, the racing track will cost 300 million, and the cruise ship will cost 1.4 billion. But there is still a lot left, and Anfeng has to consider some deductible items. Commercial investment is the most suitable, and the US government also encourages it.


    First of all, robots and superconductors are two important items. It is estimated that you need to buy land, build factories, etc., and go to the hunting ground in Texas to dig a nuclear-proof cave. It will also cost a lot of money, and the private resort in St. Kitts Island also needs money , followed by the publicity of Bi Da Company.


    The bio-beverage has passed the FDA test, and the production workshop has reached the standard. It is expected to be produced in the second quarter of this year. Some of the funds from the venture capital of the Blueline family can be used for TV advertisements. On Anfeng''s side, he can also continue to make additional investments, create celebrity effects, etc.

 Chapter 253： the festival

    Chapter 253 Holidays


    An Feng has to use part of his money for development, because the situation is different now, and he can��t spend it as he used to. He needs to keep at least half of it to invest in business and seek more benefits. But to be honest, investing in business is far from being as beneficial as investing in yourself, at least he can guarantee a steady profit.


    He has considered saving more money to acquire large companies at one time, such as the luxury goods industry that Joanna likes, but this requires that it be collected within one year, otherwise he will pay huge taxes... After much deliberation, it is currently impossible for one year Earn so much, still have to be considered later.


    When he was slowly thinking about how to spend his money, his other work, the composition of room temperature superconductors, was currently analyzing its composition. Many unknown compounds appeared, and the analysis might take a long time... The superconductors were thrown on the ground for him. up.


    Put this thing on the second floor, even if it is superconducting, it will not float. An Feng tried it, maybe the second floor is too far away from the magnetic field on the surface... While waiting for the results of the laboratory, the time slowly came to February, and his parents in China called him overseas.


    They plan to let the couple come back for a reunion year.


    I heard that relatives will arrive together this year, and An Feng happened to have this intention, so he asked Joanna, who is also curious about traditional culture, and when her schedule is settled, it will be around the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. The special plane flew back to the country, and the diplomats went all the way unimpeded.


    He also sent his father a pair of ivory chess pieces that had not passed the customs inspection��the last two ivory chess pieces An Feng couldn��t imagine what they could do, and he bought them on a whim. Later, he consulted other people��s opinions. Just make a pair of small chess.


    As soon as she entered the house, Joanna took out a gift and gave it to her parents. Mom''s is some pearl jewelry and rare foreign jade bracelets she picked out. She was so happy from ear to ear, she praised this daughter-in-law for being sensible for several days...while Dad looked at the gift box suspiciously.


    "Open it." Joanna said expectantly.


    My mother hurriedly reminded: "My daughter-in-law asked you to open the present in person!"


    Dad said oh, opened it with a smile, and saw a pair of yellow chess inside, picked it up and pondered: "It''s so smooth."


    "This is an elephant''s tooth." Joanna said, her Chinese is very slow.


    "Ivory?" Dad''s eyes lit up, and he touched the other chess pieces, "This is a rare item. I heard that a pair cost tens of thousands of yuan!"


    "How to send such a valuable thing?" Mom also said.


    "But it looks so beautiful." Joanna clicked a few chess pieces cutely.


    My mother laughed, and was instantly killed by her daughter-in-law''s cuteness.


    The finished ivory chess is not as white as imagined, but a little yellowish in color, bright and smooth, very nice to the touch, and feels heavy in the hand. Dad talked about expensive and expensive things, but the joy in his heart was completely written on his face. An Feng gave Joanna a thumbs up.


    I didn��t live in the city after that, Anfeng Ma Daha, foreign countries and domestic and foreign countries plus flight time are different, today is already twenty-nine, and tomorrow is New Year��s Eve, my parents still stay at home in the city to wait for them. After sitting for half an hour and resting enough, the two drove home.


    The destination is a small town in the countryside.


    From the perspective of experiencing traditional culture, there is no New Year flavor in the city, and now only the countryside still maintains the flavor of the New Year. While driving, my father said: "Today just happens to be the fair day, let''s go early, and we can add more time." Juveniles are rare in this city now."


    "Hurry...what?" Joanna asked.


    "Going to the market." An Feng said, he knew that sound was difficult to pronounce. "It''s a conventional market transaction... like the farmers'' market in Los Angeles."


    "Oh, I see, isn''t there a lot of fruit?" Joanna asked.


    An Feng said: "In addition to food, there are also some handicrafts, as well as fireworks and firecrackers. Anyway, there are many types, and you will know when you arrive."


    "I''m really looking forward to it!" Joanna''s expectation was full, and she looked down for the camera in her bag.


    The car came to the bustling market, it was only one o''clock in the afternoon, and trucks kept coming from the countryside, transporting various agricultural products. Some cows and horses are pulling carts on the street, and fresh fruits or pork are being transported to the vegetable market in batches, and there is a busy scene everywhere.


    Both sides of the road are crowded with old folks, and the cars have to slow down and be careful when passing by. Through the windows, you can hear one after another yelling and shouting. The children are happily holding the firecrackers they just bought, laughing and laughing, and can''t wait to stand on the side of the road. Fired in the field.


    "Oh! What a fun candy!" Joanna stared at the roadside sugar painting stand, which she also liked last time.


    "Here we go!" Dad casually parked the car in front of someone else''s store, got out of the car and greeted the owner of the store who was ordering food, getting acquainted.


    An Feng also got out of the car... Then he underestimated the lethality of the foreign girl.


    Chinese people like to join in the fun, especially when they see a tall blond beauty getting out of the car, their eyes all focus on this side.


    Joanna wore a knitted wool thermal hat, but it couldn''t hide her hair hanging down her back and shoulders. The blonde hair is almost iconic, and her face is also westernized. With a height of 174 cm and high heels, It is simply outstanding, and the rate of return is full.


    She walked around for a while with An Feng''s arm on her arm, looking at some rare objects, but she didn''t expect them to become rare objects instead. Everywhere you go, you are the focus, and taking selfies of yourself will turn into a group photo... An Feng couldn''t take it anymore, so he picked some New Year''s goods at random, and dragged her away.


    "Haha, a lot of people look at us, the treatment of a big star." Joanna smiled.


    "Continue three floors in and out, and you will regret being a star." An Feng wiped his sweat, threw his things into the trunk, and let Joanna sit in the car.


    Fortunately, my parents also understand the lethality of foreign daughter-in-laws, so after shopping quickly, I said goodbye to my friends. On the way, Joanna was still flipping through the group photos in the camera, and there were some good ones, such as the tiger-head embroidered shoes hand-sewn by an old lady, in children''s sizes.


    "It''s so cute." Joanna showed it to An Feng and then to her mother.


    My mother smiled: "You have children, you can try it, it''s very warm in winter."


    Joanna said, "I will."


    "When do you plan to get it?" My mother followed the clues.


    "No rush." ??An Feng answered for her.


    "You''ll be thirty next year." My mother said in a tone of impatience.


    "I''m so rich, thirty is not in a hurry." An Feng said casually.


    "What does having money have to do with when you have children?" Mom said.


    "Hmm..." An Feng propped his chin and thought for a while, "It has a lot to do with it. Some American experts say that the genes that can make money will not be inherited until after thirty."


    "Is there such a thing?" Mom was dumbfounded.


    "Don''t listen to this kid''s nonsense, he is just teasing you." Dad said.


    "Hahaha!" An Feng laughed. It''s not that he hasn''t thought about it, but at least after all the plans are developing smoothly, there are too many variables now.


    ��


    On the night they went home, jet lag knocked them down, and both An Feng and Joanna went to bed early. Joanna didn''t get up until the sun was shining on her **** the next day. Joanna changed into a pair of flat boots, pulled up her sleeves and started to "help".


    My mother had no choice but to invite out the meddling daughter-in-law and let her go and make trouble with An Feng.


    "No! He''s setting off firecrackers outside in a competition with others!" Joanna snitched.


    "What?" Mom stood up, "I''m such a big man, my wife doesn''t care, just play firecrackers with others? I''ll clean him up!"


    My mother rolled up her sleeves, pulled back An Feng who was trying to induce two little chubby guys to blow up cow dung on the roadside, and then pushed Joanna to him. The meaning was obvious: you take care of your people. The implication is: the daughter-in-law is too curious, let her have something to do, don''t add to the chaos.


    "What are we doing?" Joanna happily regained control of him.


    An Feng wiped his hands, looked up at the gate, and said, "Let''s post couplets."


    "I like it!" Joanna was eager to try.


    "Okay, here you go." An Feng shrugged, found a bench and a couplet, stirred the paste, and put the paste on the back of the couplet together with her. She had to stand on the bench to post, and asked An Feng to support her below, staggering.


    "I can''t stand steadily." She looked down at An Feng.


    "Then you can''t blame the stool for being ugly, can you?" An Feng said.


    "Carry me up." Her method.


    "Okay." An Feng let out a long sigh, knowing it would be like this. He asked Joanna to ride on his neck, pasted the couplet crookedly, and then ran around the yard three times with her on his back as requested by Her Majesty the Queen. As a result, the second uncle who entered the door saw it, and laughed out of the cigarette in his mouth. to the ground.


    An Feng put her down in embarrassment, and the second uncle smiled and said, "Go on, go on!"


    Joanna also smiled, but fortunately, this is not the UK, and no one can see if the lady''s morals are lost...


    "Uncle, are you coming tomorrow night?" An Feng asked, breaking the embarrassment.


    "Of course, your dad has already discussed it. Everyone gathers at the table on the first day of junior high school to have fun together. This scene has not been seen for several years."


    "Oh." An Feng nodded, "Then I have to prepare a lot of red envelopes."


    "Necessary, who told you not to have children!" The second uncle said with a smile, his grandsons are all soy sauce, and only An Feng is almost thirty.


    An Feng is not afraid of him laughing: "Just wait, I will bring a football team in the future, and earn back the red envelopes given out over the years in one go!"


    "Hey! You''re smart enough!" The second uncle chatted with them for a while, and then went into the room to discuss things with Dad.


    Evening is naturally a traditional event on New Year��s Eve. The whole family gathers together to have a New Year��s Eve dinner, taste the crafts that mother specially learned, and let the foreign daughter-in-law learn a lot. Then it is to burn charcoal, chat and eat snacks around the sofa, watch the party, and watch the night together. After the last moment of New Year''s Eve, everyone ran to set off firecrackers. Amidst the sound of firecrackers one after another, they entered the New Year lively.

 Chapter 254： representative office

    Chapter 254 Representative Office


    The sound of crackling firecrackers rang again in the early morning of the next day. An Feng buried his head in the bed and covered his ears. This traditional year is interesting but boring. What is interesting is that everyone was having fun last night, but now he is sleepy Sometimes, it is annoying to hear these sounds.


    Laid on the bed for a while, until there was a knock on the door outside, and my mother told them to get up and eat, and then reluctantly got up. After washing up, according to the habit, An Feng changed into new clothes for the New Year. An Feng''s dress was very simple, but Joanna went downstairs satisfied after trying several times.


    The hall was full of people, relatives were all present, talking and laughing happily. When An Feng appeared, everyone''s eyes focused on the two of them, and it was warm and cordial New Year greetings. An Feng responded with a smile and wished each other a New Year with everyone. Joanna also followed suit by his side.


    This big reunion was planned by my parents a long time ago. After all, we haven��t seen each other for many years. An Feng��s career has flourished and he has helped everyone a lot. They all have to come here because of love and reason, so the topic is also focused on them. , There are a lot of household matters, those who care about, and those who congratulate.


    There is also a group of children running up and down, their parents and An Feng''s peers, and now they all surround him and call his uncle. The purpose is very simple - red envelopes. Before coming here, An Feng exchanged cash at the bank, and put them one by one in the red envelopes bought in the gift shop.


    After taking it out, the brat''s eyes naturally glowed.


    An Feng pulled up a chair and sat down, with a basket full of red envelopes in his hand. Joanna stood beside him, smiling: "Children, it sounds nice."


    They showed their prowess, some were as smooth as an endorsement, some hesitated and couldn''t hold back a few words, and some were dedicated to being cute and sympathetic... Their hard work was rewarded, and every red envelope was heavy. , in addition to the whole hundred, there are many small denominations of change.


    As a person who has experienced it, An Feng estimates from experience that there is a high probability that hundreds of them will be kept by parents��often missing. The small denominations, such as ten yuan and twenty yuan, are relatively easy for the children to control, so after they opened them, the cheers were very warm from the bottom of their hearts.


    Even after Xiaoyu got the red envelope, she even kissed Joanna in a very foreign way. This cute kung fu really made her aunt laugh.


    After distributing the red envelopes, it was afternoon, and everyone started to get busy. This time there were a lot of people, and it was estimated that there would be two or three tables, and there were enough ingredients. My mother was too busy alone. Joanna just wanted to show off, but the three aunts and six wives invited her out ...Joanna smiled and avoided the work and was praised again.


    Everyone helped, those who moved the table moved the table, and those who had nothing to do came to the yard to bask in the sun. The spring sun was warm and comfortable. An Feng''s cousin also specially sat in front of them and talked about the construction of the school, which was very particular.


    Anhui is a few years older than Anfeng, and she thinks about things comprehensively. She said: "The current 20 million yuan is more than enough to spend on the construction of the school, but you haven''t thought it through. In the school''s annual operation, the expenditure It''s bigger than you expected, three million is not enough."


    An Feng said, "What about the six million?"


    An Hui was speechless, and the following words were completely ruined by this sentence. She almost forgot that the person in front of her was a rich man whose unit was in US dollars.


    Joanna said: "I have learned a little bit that the quality of a school is mainly due to the quality of teachers. In China, compared with private schools, you trust public schools more. I was also very surprised at the time. In the UK, I have always been Those who go to private public schools, except American universities.��


    An Hui nodded: "Most of them are like this, but it doesn''t mean that private schools in China are necessarily bad, some aristocratic schools in big cities are typical, but we don''t do this kind of thing now, but can let children have a better environment Schools, teaching conditions, and the level of teachers all have to be considered.��


    "Then 10 million per year?" An Feng still couldn''t understand.


    An Hui sighed. Joanna said with a smile: "She wants to say that the teaching method determines the quality of the school, and it is not enough to work **** the surface."


    "Then poach the wall." An Feng said.


    "That''s it." An Hui said, "I''ve seen many schools. There are good students and bad students, but the nature of the children is good. It''s just that the way of education and management is not good enough. In this regard, Western education is It is relatively advanced, but it is impossible to completely copy it in China.��


    An Feng gradually understood: "Isn''t it a combination of advantages? Then there are more requirements here, and the quality cannot be judged, but the quantity must be balanced. I think that the number of students in each class in foreign schools is very small, and it may be possible to do the same. Anyway, in the early days of the school��s establishment, there were not many students.��


    An Hui nodded: "Yes, only with this small class system of ten or so people, teachers can have more energy to take care of each child. Children''s thoughts and behaviors are cultivated from an early age. Schools and families are important places. In other words, when it comes to teaching, it is better to teach how to be a person first.��


    "Then there must be enough investment every year." An Feng said.


    Anhui continued: "If you can continue to invest, the school''s funds do not depend on the education system. You can consider the model in which the principal is responsible for education and management, teachers are elected to form an education evaluation committee, and the council is responsible for the allocation of funds. Of course, teacher exchange training must also be in line with international standards. .��


    An Feng felt that An Hui had really put her mind on this. She still had many, many ideas. Although she couldn''t change the current educational situation, she could experiment with An Feng''s plan. She considered cultivating quality first, so the school''s demand for the number of students would be reduced.


    An Feng thought about it and said, "It''s too troublesome for me to invest every time, but it''s not appropriate to put the funds in the school without circulation."


    "Foundation." Joanna tugged at him.


    "Yes, it''s a good idea." An Feng said to An Hui again: "Joanna has a foundation, maybe it can support the school."


    "It''s more resource-saving." Joanna said proudly, "My private foundation, in addition to charity, can also use funds for business investment. It is enough to support the operation of the school every year."


    Elizabeth Fund is currently investing in British Machinery Company. As a next-generation technology company, although it is not eye-catching, it is very competitive. It is involved in both civilian and military applications. In the future, the annual profit will be tens of millions of pounds. Not a problem, part of the vote is for the school, isn''t it enough to operate?


    An Hui''s eyes lit up: "This is a very good idea. If you can''t keep investing money in it, the foundation''s profits will be enough."


    An Feng said: "So, it is not only for the operation of the school, but it can also support some domestic college students with excellent character and learning. Anyway, the purpose of this foundation is to do charity around the world and earn fame. It is also popular in Europe and Asia. It is also a kind act encouraged by the government.��


    He thought for a while, and then said to Joanna: "Maybe we can continue to invest some money in the foundation, after all, this part can be used for tax deductions."


    "I agree," she said.


    An Hui said: "I found out that you haven''t seen you for a few years, kid, but your realm has improved a lot."


    "Haha, thank you!" An Feng smiled, "Actually, you should praise Joanna more, she is the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, with a heart to help the world."


    Joanna smiled too.


    An Feng then said: "Just like the Elizabeth Fund set up a representative office in the United States, it should also set up a representative office in China. How about the capital?"


    Anhui said: "If you want to set up a representative office, the procedures are more troublesome, because the history of domestic foundations is not as deep as that of foreign foundations, and it is just at the beginning. Many laws and policies have been perfected. So far, the establishment of representative offices in mainland China There are only more than 20 foreign foundations.��


    "Troublesome?" An Feng asked.


    "The registration process is quite tortuous. I happen to have friends who have been in contact with these before. Not to mention foreign countries, even some foundations in China need to go through many channels. Of course, the policies of different places are different, such as city S and city B may provide better services. , but not necessarily in other regions.��


    An Feng was not familiar with these procedures, and the representative office in the United States was handled by his assistant and the representative in the United Kingdom. After verifying its non-profit status, it was successfully established. But I didn''t expect that there is a lack of applicable laws for overseas foundations. Although it is allowed in principle, the management is not perfect.


    Finally, Anhui gave a solution: "Maybe you can go to Hong Kong to register. It is more accepting of Western culture there, and it should be faster."


    It is certain that Hong Kong is more open than the mainland, and it is naturally more international. An Feng thought about it, and from a quick perspective, Hong Kong is also good. Donating to the mainland is also an act within China, and it is subject to the laws and regulations of Hong Kong. It''s not a bad thing either.


    An Feng said: "I will find a time to make a call to the British side and ask them to contact the Hong Kong government. If the problem is not serious, I will consider that side first."


    ��


    Afterwards, I learned from the British side that the Hong Kong government welcomes foreign charitable organizations stationed here, but everyone is celebrating the traditional New Year, and government personnel are not at work, so there may be a delay. After An Feng heard the news, he decided to let the representative office settle in Hong Kong first.


    If possible in the future, set up another one in the Mainland.


    In this way, there are Elizabeth Foundations on three continents. As a transnational nature, it obviously needs to have strong financial strength.


    Millions of pounds are not enough, An Feng is considering donating another 100 million dollars.


    After learning about the decision, Joanna asked, "Do you really want so much?"


    "Think about charity and tax avoidance." An Feng has his own reasons. "Recently, I have too much income. If I hand over the money to the U.S. government, I can''t control it. It''s better to donate it to a charity fund. I can designate its use. It''s not my own money anymore, but the latter is comfortable!"


    This year, Anfeng''s income is expected to reach 7 billion, and the tax is 2 billion. There is also a limit to the deduction of business investment, and the rest will be handed over to the US government for nothing? An Feng is not very happy, and donating can also be used to offset his taxable income, and it can also give Joanna a good reputation.

 Chapter 255： plan to expand

    Chapter 255 Plan to Expand


    Since An Hui is so passionate about charity education and plans carefully, An Feng didn''t bother to choose, so he appointed her to be the principal of the school. In terms of management, the advantages of Western education will be absorbed. The principal is only responsible for managing the school, and she is responsible for the board of directors elected by the donor.


    That is to say, the principal is not a single-handed role. If she does not do well or has major faults, the council has the right to remove her. The members of the council are appointed by the investors, and the election system can also be adopted to ensure the maximum fairness and prevent monotony.


    An Feng told An Hui about his decision, and then asked her, "Are you confident?"


    An Hui said: "I have no experience as a principal, but I am just a business manager, and I am not required to teach, no problem!"


    "I just like your confidence!" An Feng said with a smile.


    Second Uncle passed by and heard her bold words and ambitions, and couldn''t help muttering: "It would be great if she had this mentality when she finds a boyfriend."


    "Could it be that you just find someone with three legs and marry them?" An Hui retorted.


    "Hey... I don''t want to talk about you." The second uncle shook his head and left with a cigarette in his mouth.


    An Feng looked at his cousin, she was highly educated, she went to the hall and went to the kitchen, and she was not ugly. She was surprised: "You are not young, so you haven''t thought about it?"


    "Stop it! Stop it!" An Hui reminded him, "This kind of relationship between a man and a woman depends on fate. If not, I''d rather live alone."


    An Feng curled his lips and said: "No wonder the second aunt always said hello and didn''t want to learn, but only learned about those messy cultures such as leftover women and single nobles."


    "You don''t care!" She said stubbornly, and many people were discouraged by her temperament. If she was committed to one thing, she would never look back.


    An Feng smiled: "I can''t control it even if I want to. The young people of the right age are all married. Do you still want to know a few foreigners?"


    "Foreigners are boring." An Hui shook her head, "He is very male and has a strong body odor. I have encountered it a few times when I was working in a foreign company, and I can''t help it!"


    An Feng shrugged: "Then work **** your career, when will your annual salary be one million, and marry a boy, I heard that siblings are popular now."


    "Go!" An Hui kicked him, "Let''s get down to business, there are a lot of bad guys, so don''t worry now. According to what you said, the foundation is a ''non-public fundraising fund'' in China, and it has strong privacy. You can choose to keep it secret, but it can''t." Raise funds from society in any form."


    An Feng said indifferently: "How much money can I get from fundraising? My annual profit is a thousand times more than fundraising, so don''t worry about the source of funds. Even if I don''t invest, the foundation''s business operations will still have profits. At the moment it holds a stake in a big business, don''t worry about it."


    Public funds and non-public funds are two forms in China. The former can be donated from the society, while the latter can only be voluntary by a very small number of people. Basically, they invest their own money and have high requirements for personal financial resources. However, due to the complexity of the sources of charitable funds, the former requires strict supervision, while the latter is very loose.


    Anhui said reassuringly: "It seems that I only need to care about the education method, and I guess I have to study it specially, or go abroad to learn from it."


    An Feng said: "It''s good to go out and have a look. You can learn a lot of advantages in education."


    "Let''s list it as a to-do item, and wait until the school recruits teachers to consider it."


    "I''ll approve the funds for you." An Feng said.


    At present, primary and secondary schools are mainly considered, and the small class system can be seen to be more effective. The last point is the source of students. It is indeed a bit difficult for private schools, but the quality of brains has little to do with family background. Children from poor families are more diligent. As long as they have a platform, they can also spread their wings and fly high.


    Once the reputation of the school spreads, no matter how far away it is, parents who care about their children will send them to study. By then, it can develop into a boarding school... Although it is said that these are too far away, a good school will take at least ten years Time settles, it''s a long job.


    How to teach and how to manage Anfeng is a layman, but the school''s funds are just a drop in the bucket for him-don''t forget that he uses US dollars as his unit, and the future profits of the foundation will be enough to support the operation of ten schools, even if he does not No matter how much money is paid, it is enough to keep the school running.


    ��


    After the Spring Festival, An Feng retreated.


    According to the new plan, first generously donate 30 million US dollars in the name of Joanna. This is done in consideration of the fact that the Foundation��s current organization is still simple, and large sums of money cannot be used effectively. After the foundation grows again, donate the remaining 70 million yuan for charity or business.


    After returning to normal life, An Feng continued to compete with superconductor materials. The difficulty was really not small. There were several compounds that had never appeared on the earth, which meant that he had to find ways to refine them and imitate superconductors. After that, you need to consider the issue of mass production.


    Currently he is working alone and has several assistants, but they are only assistants, and it is not clear what he wants to do.


    Until he succeeds, he will not disclose his plan. The attraction of room temperature superconductors is stronger than that of graphene. He doesn''t want to be targeted by thieves again.


    Joanna continued to go to school twice a week. She felt too leisurely, so she went to the lady class, which was said to be advanced, and there was also a course on "How to Be a Rich Wife". She was educated by the British aristocrats and knew how to behave herself, but she had too much knowledge on how to be a wife.


    An Feng heard about this kind of course for the first time, so he visited it. Most of the trainees are rich women. Here they receive training in western etiquette and manners, learn cultural accomplishment, and train the key ability to be independent for their husbands. The content is high-end, and the fees are equally high.


    But seeing the sports cars and luxury cars at the door, the money is nothing to the ladies. Joanna also used to drive his Lamborghini-Reventon to class. Later, she became the most high-profile lady in the class, so she changed to a low-key Ferrari, but it was still not low-key.


    ��


    After F. Anderson was officially sworn in as president in January, the new official took office with three fires and launched a vigorous policy. The focus is nothing more than the employment rate, medical care or the world police. The first two depend on a certain amount of luck, while the latter... recently America feels good again.


    Since the video of Raytheon testing the individual exoskeleton appeared on the Internet in November last year, everyone has paid attention to the "future individual system". Exoskeleton is a new trend of individual equipment, which indicates that the physical limit will be broken through again with the help of external objects, entering a new era.


    According to the collected information, Raytheon''s "epoch-making equipment" is its own exoskeleton, which still uses GP''s batteries and chips. In addition, the hybrid power assist system is self-developed, but network experts commented bitterly that the power assist system is weak point.


    An Feng also saw at a glance that the power assist system was holding back.


    The folks have both praises and criticisms for this. Those who are pro-American automatically ignore the defects and think it is an advanced machine that is at the forefront of the universe. But after a while, the exoskeleton disappeared again.


    Until Anderson came to power, the U.S. military followed up with a high-profile disclosure of the actual use of military exoskeletons. It has a wide range of uses, not only for special forces. After some modifications, it relies heavily on physical fitness, such as aircraft carrier ground support, air force base ground support, armored soldiers, and special forces. .


    When they appeared again, they had already used the power assist system of the British Machinery Company.


    That is to say, the current exoskeleton has been perfected. The three cores all rely on private enterprises, and the booster systems are all customized in the UK. The funny thing is that the British can''t make an exoskeleton, but the Americans have achieved it. There are many articles that can be done here, and strong publicity is inevitable.


    With the **** nature of the Americans, it is natural to want to show these strengths to his opponents, making them nervous, chasing or fearing... As far as the current reactions from all walks of life in the world are concerned, this goal has been achieved. Even if the Americans cannot equip exoskeletons in large quantities, it is enough to make other countries nervous.


    Exoskeletons can double the efficiency of the army. It is no problem for one to top two, and one can top three at critical moments. This is the combat effectiveness that Uncle Sam advertised. Then An Feng looked at the Chinese forum with curiosity, and many forums were discussing this exoskeleton of the US military.


    Looking at the Russian version, it was equally lively, and some people posted the Russian version of the exoskeleton. The Americans succeeded, and its purpose is nothing more than to disgust people, create a tense atmosphere, and while maintaining technological leadership, it also stimulates people to chase after it and consumes energy.


    And the appearance of this piece of equipment has also triggered a series of changes that can be speculated. According to the calculation of the strange and complicated "destruction equation" of the machine brain, the probability of self-destruction has increased by 0.002 percentage points, which has little impact on the overall situation, but It is a trend towards this direction.


    He has learned from British Machinery that the government has placed an order for hybrid power-assist systems, not much��as ordered in the US. The aboveboard trade cannot be concealed from others, but the speed of the British is fast, but unfortunately there are still two things missing: chips and batteries. And drawings.


    But the drawings are not the three cores. An Feng can anonymously post the drawings to the mailboxes of the defense departments of various countries at any time.


    Originally, he planned to earn some favors through blueprints, but he didn''t think comprehensively. For a guy like himself who is not American and has a vacillating position, he must be an important person who has made major inventions again and again. He couldn''t guarantee whether anyone was monitoring him now, and who had his personal information.


    It��s really uncomfortable to be monitored, although he doesn��t have many secrets that threaten national security��some Americans don��t know that the graphene server currently used by the Ministry of Defense can crash at any time, does the United States know? Long story short, he had to find some time to have a good talk with President Anderson.


    If there is a listener, let''s show it off.


    He believes that with his weight, the government will be happy to negotiate with him... It doesn''t matter what nationality he is now, what he cares most about is how to avoid the probability of destruction - such a noble sentiment of all mankind, let''s talk about nationality, race and so on. It''s a little pricey.


    Back to England, An Feng''s "Baroness Project" continued.


    He can use the machinery company, or Sinclair''s relationship, to have a few drinks with the officials, and then let his wife show his face, implicitly expressing that the power system is ours, and the chips and batteries are also ours. In the future, we will use superconductors Such industries moved here.


    Isn��t that considered an outstanding figure?


    Afterwards, the relevant figures were nominated to the cabinet, and then the cabinet was nominated to the prime minister, and the prime minister recommended it to the queen... The queen rewarded her with a medal and was upgraded to a "lady". Things in the future were messed up because of monitoring. But there are also ways to do it. After all, industrialists who benefit the country and the people are never exaggerated.

 Chapter 256： Tiger training

    Chapter 256 Training the Tiger


    An Feng continued to fight superconductors. So far, clues have been found. The basic chemical elements are found on the earth, but the combination of different elements is the most difficult. Some compounds have never even appeared. The synthesis conditions require high temperature and high pressure, so the work needs to be undertaken by Anshi Industries.


    An Feng only does the important and confidential parts.


    There was a core meeting of the consortium in Austin in February. With An Feng''s temperament, when he has something to do, he usually asks to tell him the key points on the phone, and then he can vote by himself, but they require themselves to be present. Development of GP Energy.


    An Feng couldn''t refuse, so he flew to the local area by special plane.


    In the conference room of GP company, the current CEO Benjamin Hawley briefly explained the tasks of GP Energy this year to these bigwigs. Since the second workshop is in operation, the No. expand geometrically.


    According to the analysis of the super battery application market, GP Energy currently only eats 10% of it due to its low output, so the future is very bright, with a revenue of 10 billion? No! The market they can occupy is at least 100 billion a year, so paving the way is critical.


    Because An Feng wants GP to acquire luxury car brands, after everyone''s discussion, it is currently being implemented. Maserati''s growth rate in the United States and China is very fast. Last year, its revenue exceeded 2 billion euros. Due to the prosperity of the Chinese economy, its potential is still great.


    But there is still a problem, the attitude of the parent company Fiat Group.


    Facing the attention of the bigwigs of the consortium, Hawley said unhurriedly: "I asked GP Energy to cooperate more closely with Volkswagen, and developed new products for its ''Volkswagen'', ''Audi'' and ''Porsche'' brands. New battery, everyone look behind me, this is a Volkswagen concept car!"


    Everyone looked up at the projection, and a concept car that was very close to reality appeared. Hawley introduced: "It is pure electric, with a front engine design, and a four-door four-seater sedan. It received unanimous praise from the media at last year''s Frankfurt Auto Show. But not as good as this concept car from Audi!"


    The screen changed, and it became a concept sports car from Audi.


    Hawley explained: "It is also pure electric, with two doors and two seats, the engine is placed in the middle, and the battery blocks are located on both sides of the engine compartment. We specially reduced the size of the battery to make it easier to disassemble. In a private test, the sports car The performance is beyond imagination, stronger than the car."


    "Porsche''s hybrid model, and Lamborghini''s pure electric concept car under design, and even Bentley is considering the design of this aspect... This is due to the fact that Volkswagen owns the shares of GP Energy and has obtained in-depth cooperation with us. Currently, Volkswagen stocks soared."


    An Feng couldn''t figure out the relationship between Volkswagen and the acquisition of Maserati.


    Hawley continued to go deeper. He said that the power of super batteries is beyond doubt, and the epoch-making significance is obvious, so the globalization of electric vehicles is inevitable. If Volkswagen seizes the opportunity, other automakers will be fatally hit-this guy is currently doing this.


    In Volkswagen''s ultra-luxury camp, Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bugatti and Bentley all have a tendency to develop in the electric field. From low-end to luxury, from coupe to supercar, they all appear in the pure electric field. Achieved, no one will be able to catch up in the future.


    So, other brands are nervous.


    In the era of electric vehicles, if there is no powerful battery, it is like a super sports car equipped with a 4-cylinder engine.


    Therefore, GP Energy has been crowded with people recently. One company has just left, and the other company has followed up. They are all talking about business, and want to get orders for batteries first. The development of GP Energy is a bit... the model of hunger marketing, the supply is always in short supply, and the factory is working hard to expand.


    Taking the lead is very important. Take Apple as an example. At present, their dominance in the mobile phone market is once again stable. Samsung, which failed to seize the opportunity last year, is now falling again and again. It used to want to challenge Apple, but now it has to find ways reversal of the decline.


    Finally, Hawley said: "We started negotiations with Fiat using super batteries, and proposed the idea of ??acquiring 51% of Maserati''s shares for US$4 billion. They are currently considering it seriously. Other auto companies, such as the expansion of Volkswagen, are also promoting the negotiation! "


    Everyone understood, and immediately applauded enthusiastically.


    ��


    The time came to the end of February, and the acquisition was still under negotiation.


    The success rate is still very high. If it doesn��t work, just change it. An Feng is not worried. And his biological experiments have done well. At present, Xiaobai has completed the drug injection and is eight months old. His food intake is gradually increasing. He consumes five to ten catties of meat every day. He is a thriving tigress, and his body size has increased significantly. Big.


    According to the habits of tigers, a female tiger will leave her mother to live independently when she is about 2 years old. Xiaobai is obviously not at that age, and is still in his infancy. Feng can only use his own method.


    Wang Le was shocked when he was a guest at An Feng''s house.


    "You let Tiger play on the treadmill?" Wang Le looked at Xiaobai who was exercising on the treadmill in surprise.


    An Feng said proudly: "Don''t you see who raises tigers! Xiaobai! Come here!"


    Xiaobai, who was running, heard An Feng''s voice, and quickly jumped off the treadmill. He quickly ran in front of him, stood up on his hind legs, and threw himself into An Feng''s arms. The eight-month-old Xiaobai stood up almost to Anfeng''s waist and weighed 55 kilograms, which is not light.


    An Feng hugged it firmly, stretched out his hands to rub its furry head, Xiao Bai was not angry, his temper was just like his "Mother Lily", she was very nice in front of acquaintances, and even stuck out his tongue to lick An Feng''s face, But was dodged. He smiled: "Don''t touch me if you didn''t brush your teeth in the morning!"


    Xiaobai continued to rub against him affectionately, still showing off his cuteness.


    Wang Le looked at it strangely: "I haven''t seen you for a month, but you have trained me to be a pet dog?"


    "Haha! This is my good boy!" An Feng scratched its back and pointed to the treadmill: "Continue to exercise, there are five minutes left today!"


    Xiaobai''s comprehension ability is very strong, so he continued to jump on the treadmill to exercise. Even though this guy is still young, if he is serious, his speed will occasionally exceed 50 kilometers per hour, which is not weak for an adult tiger. After the fund mutation, its fastest running speed may exceed 90 kilometers per hour.


    Wang Lepei admired: "What a cow! It makes me want to raise one too!"


    An Feng said cautiously: "I have a special method. Ordinary domesticated tigers cannot be trained like this."


    "What method?" Wang Le was curious.


    "The biological project of the research center." An Feng said, "The details are very complicated. Xiaobai is considered a biological experiment, and we have to wait until it is an adult and healthy before we can draw conclusions."


    "Awesome!" Wang Le said, not sure if he meant the research center or An Feng.


    An Feng raised his hand to look at the electronic watch, and said, "Don''t be lazy, now is also your time to exercise. Tigers work so hard, be careful that you are not as good as animals."


    "What are you talking about!" Wang Le was speechless, and continued to torture his body, but not to mention, after An Feng''s scientific training, this body shape has been cultivated, and now he has some flesh. This guy is looking forward to summer soon When the time comes, he will go to the beach to show off his figure and show off his muscles...


    After Xiaobai also stopped panting, An Feng put a thick protective gear on his right hand.


    "Follow me!" An Feng walked ahead without looking back. And Xiaobai obediently followed behind him to the green lawn in the backyard.


    Wang Le, who was covered in sweat, also followed. An Feng wore a gauntlet similar to training hounds, but it was a reinforced version, with a layer of Kevlar fiber added inside to prevent tigers from biting people. But the current Xiaobai is not that strong yet, this is for it to be used when it becomes an adult.


    An Feng took a few steps back. Xiaobai knew what he was going to do. He bent down and stared at him. Although he did not have the size and might of an adult tiger, the ferocity of the beast had already been revealed. The hunting posture was standard, majestic, and his eyes were tight Staring at An Feng, ready to go.


    An Feng stretched out his hand and shook it, Xiao Bai suddenly jumped up like lightning, three steps and two steps rushed towards him, An Feng was not slow to react, turned around and raised his hand, Xiao Bai jumped and bit the protective gear. An Feng is so strong that he can lift it with one hand, but Xiao Bai not only bites his teeth, but also grabs it with his hands.


    An Feng struggled a few times, and ordered: "Release!"


    Xiaobai listened to the order and let go of the ground. An Feng touched its head and said, "Good boy, continue!"


    Xiaobai continued to charge, and An Feng showed more flexibility. The protective gear in his hand simulated the trajectory of the prey, erratic, left and right. It missed at the last moment, causing it to growl with its mouth open.


    "Continue!" An Feng patted the protective gear, telling Xiaobai to come again.


    After the biting training, I rewarded it with a piece of meat, followed by "boxing training". An Feng took out the vertical silicone sandbag in the gym and placed it in front of Xiaobai. He backed up a few steps, rushed up and slapped the sandbag with its tiger claws, then turned around and slapped it again, causing the sandbag to fall to the ground.


    "What a great power!" Wang Le has been subverted.


    "Very good!" An Feng lifted the sandbag, and this time he also supported it, allowing Xiaobai to practice slapping movements at close range, making him a tiger boxer.


    Wang Le was dumbfounded. Joanna and Lisa who came back from shopping in the supermarket also came. Joanna was not surprised by these trainings. An Feng had done this a long time ago. At the beginning, she objected, thinking that tigers could not do it. Unexpectedly, it is more humane and obedient than the hound now.


    Lisa, like Wang Le, was very curious about this scene: "This shouldn''t be a hunting dog in tiger skin, right?"


    "Of course not." Joanna said with a smile. She put on a pair of transparent gloves, picked up the fresh beef she just bought from the supermarket, and came to the yard.


    Xiao Bai smelled the aroma of food and was a little distracted during the patting process.


    An Feng shouted: "Pay attention to this side!"


    Compelled by the majesty of the master, Xiaobai continued to train aggrieved. But "Mom" obviously loves it more, Joanna said a few good words, and An Feng stopped training. Xiaobai happily enjoyed the food for lunch today, a large piece of beef weighing at least five catties, lay down on the ground and ate with relish.


    Wang Le had to be convinced: "You can train a tiger like this, you are amazing!"


    An Feng smiled and squatted down beside Xiaobai, touched its forearm, and said, "It''s not bad, the upper muscles have been exercised!"


    Wang Le also touched these muscles, and said: "With your training, I''m afraid that in the future, just slapping the prey will kill you, right?"


    "It''s possible. Its explosive power is already very strong now. When it grows to an adult, it will kill small and medium-sized prey at a distance of two or three meters."


    "Excellent!" Wang Le looked at the sandbags that fell on the ground, and they were scratched out by the tiger''s claws.

 Chapter 257： Buffet

    Chapter 257 Buffet


    Wang Le looked enviously at the big tabby cat lying on the ground, and scratched it with his hands from time to time, Xiao Bai was annoyed, so he yelled at him, scaring Wang Le and lightning back. An Feng stared at it with his eyes, Xiaobai changed his mouth to yawn into a yawn, and looked at him innocently.


    "Learn to be pitiful!" An Feng criticized it.


    Wang Le sat on the grass, looked at the silent Xiaobai, and said with a smile: "You''re really clever, and you can compete with Erha who makes mistakes and pretends he didn''t do it."


    "Don''t! I''m afraid that it will learn Erha''s character!" An Feng hopes that Xiaobai will be able to do many things when he grows up. If not, he can be as good as a Labrador. Speaking of housekeeping, a piece of ham can easily make it rebellious, I dare not think about it...


    An Feng said to Joanna: "Next time we have to let it have less contact with Lin Hai''s Erha, bad habits can''t be learned!"


    Joanna chuckled softly.


    Wang Le added fuel to the fire: "It''s too late! Look at its appearance, I''m afraid it has learned some essence!"


    "Stop!" An Feng pushed him away and stared at Xiaobai, which was normal.


    Joanna went back to the house, and came from the house with a cordless phone: "My dear, I have your call!"


    "Whose?" An Feng wiped his hands with a paper towel.


    "Roger." Joanna put the phone to his ear.


    An Feng answered the phone: "Hi, buddy?"


    Roger said, "Hey Bruce, how are you doing?"


    "It''s okay, are you free for a drink?" An Feng said.


    "I''m thinking about that too, but I''ve been too busy recently to relax. I want to invite you to a charity buffet in Los Angeles this time."


    "You held a buffet party? It seems that there are enough entertainments." An Feng said with a smile, "No problem, but can I bring a few more friends?"


    "Very welcome, I am worried that there are not enough people." Roger said.


    "Okay, I will go to the meeting on time." An Feng said, confirm the location and time with him, and hang up the phone.


    "Do you have time to send money?" An Feng asked Wang Le, who was stubborn and wanted to tease Xiaobai.


    "Send money?" Wang Le turned to look at him, "Can we use Chinese?"


    "It''s a charity buffet, a typical western social occasion. Don''t tell me you have been in the United States for so long and have never participated in these activities." An Feng said.


    "It''s fine if you just say that the donation is not enough, what''s the detour!" Wang Le scorned, "Who is this time?"


    "Old friend Roger. He knows a lot of people and might be able to find something that interests you."


    "This guy is very interesting, I will go." Wang Le said.


    ��


    An Feng attended the luncheon hosted by Roger at the hotel in the evening.


    Although it is informal, everyone is dressed in a very formal style. The style is different from other dinner parties. The ladies changed the more grand evening dresses into small dresses. The skirts reach knees, and they can be more freely matched in color Some jewellery, just as glamorous.


    An Feng brought his wife in, and Roger, the host, confessed to his friend, welcomed him warmly, and hugged him.


    "Long time no see! Feel like you''re busy recently?" An Feng said to him, and kissed the beautifully dressed Miranda.


    Roger sighed: "You have to know that my free life has come to an end, and I will feel sad for me when I walk on a busy road."


    After speaking, Roger saluted with Wang Le and his wife, and walked into the hall together.


    "What''s going on?" An Feng asked.


    "I got a promotion," Roger said.


    "Then you are still sighing? Promotion and salary increase, bright future, isn''t this a good thing to celebrate?" An Feng asked strangely.


    Roger shook his head and said: "Since the Sinclair family bought the shares of American Express, the consortium has completely controlled the company, and internal adjustments have been made one after another. I was also pushed to the front desk and became a regional director. This means that there are more things on me. , can no longer live freely as before."


    But Miranda caught his lie: "He just works a little more �� if you think the occasional meeting counts as much."


    An Feng smiled: "You cheated me of my sympathy."


    Roger frowned: "Things are not that simple. Although I can be as leisurely as before, the quality of the regional management is linked to my income!"


    "Don''t you still have a trust fund?" An Feng said, the trust fund is the first choice property left by the rich to their children, and there will be special personnel to help them invest and make money.


    "It has been changed to family shares." Roger continued to sigh.


    "Why do I feel that everything is a good thing? Why do you say it in your tone, and it becomes a bad thing?" An Feng was puzzled. I''m afraid others would like this?


    Roger also wondered: "I also feel very strange. Maybe there are too many family arrangements recently and the pressure is high. I really want to vent."


    An Feng made a conclusion for him: "I guess you are suffering from office syndrome, just like I used to be, hurry up and smash the computer tomorrow, work to hell! Let Miranda accompany you to walk around, go to the beach Sun, let''s have a few drinks together and have some romance."


    Miranda said: "You can accompany me to France next week! Forget about the work here, go to a few fashion shows, go shopping..."


    Roger looked at An Feng bitterly, with an expression of "you might as well not say it".


    An Feng shrugged helplessly.


    When Miranda mentioned this, Joanna''s interest also came: "I just had this idea. I went to Paris in March to watch a few fashion shows, customize clothes, and relax in a different environment. I miss the desserts there, colorful macarons and hot chocolate."


    "I also like French boutique desserts..." Lisa joined in, and as a result, three women lived on the same street.


    The three men left quietly, giving time and space to them.


    Wang Le took a glass of wine and raised it to greet them: "Well, the result of their discussion this time will determine our whereabouts next week."


    "I''m casual, European leisure is also good." An Feng said.


    Roger doesn''t care: "It''s okay, I also want to give her a vacation, go shopping in Paris, go to Switzerland to watch the Basel Watch Fair, and choose gifts for her."


    "Improved!" An Feng boasted.


    Roger smiled: "People will always change, and the environment is also changing me. Sorry, I''m afraid I need to receive other people, and we will talk later."


    "You are busy." An Feng said to him.


    Roger nodded and left.


    Not long after the guests arrived, Roger came to the stage and gave a short speech, talking about the deeds of the Blueline Family Foundation and what contributions it had made... After the speech, the rich were free to play and donate some charitable funds by filling in checks. It can not only keep your name, but also avoid taxes.


    During the buffet, An Feng met Anthony who was also present.


    They got together and talked about some charitable things. Furthermore, the recently established Beida Company, the money from the Blueline family has arrived, and according to the original agreement, Anthony needs to invest 320 million U.S. dollars to purchase 20% of the company''s shares. A very risky investment.


    Anthony asked his plan: "Have you thought about how to use this money?"


    "It is mainly used in advertising." An Feng said, "Beverages are mainly high-quality goods in the early stage, and the price is slightly higher, so the shipment volume will not be too much, so all the spare funds are used in publicity, which can quickly accumulate popularity. After the business year, it is enough for everyone to be inseparable from them."


    Anthony said: "It is the most appropriate to invite sports stars or sponsor sports events. The most significant part of bio-drinks is anti-fatigue..."


    "No, anti-fatigue is only the fastest effective among them, and its ability to slow down the aging process is the most powerful - so I call it a biological drink, not a carbonated drink or a functional drink." An Feng needs to give his cooperation The partner infuses these awarenesses.


    Anthony understood: "Then we have to start from two aspects, from anti-fatigue and anti-aging, with sports activities and some models who are good at maintenance. In this regard, Roger has a lot to do, and there are many goals to choose from. , as long as you dare to spend money."


    "Don''t worry about this, spend half of the money on advertising." An Feng said.


    "Half? Too high?" Anthony said.


    An Feng said to himself: "Of course, please don''t think that these publicity costs are high. If you know that it has the ability to make everyone inseparable, no matter how high it is, it is worth it. I even plan to sponsor some teams, or even buy them. Come down to promote these products."


    After listening to it, Anthony said in admiration: "It seems that your self-confidence is really strong!"

    Chapter 258 Investing in brands

    ��


    After the buffet was over, they agreed on a departure time.


    Mainly because of Wang Le''s visa problem, his passport is not strong enough... But he just went to France last time, and the tourist visa is still very easy, so everyone decided to leave in early March. An Feng didn''t make much preparation either. He had been to Paris many times, and the concept in his head was "seeking food and clothing".


    In the private plane across the Atlantic Ocean, Joanna, Lisa and Miranda discussed vacation plans together. March is not the peak tourist season in France, but it is of great significance to the fashion industry, because among the four major fashion weeks in the world, Paris Fashion Week is obviously the focus of the finale.


    Women were discussing fashion, while An Feng was flipping through Joanna''s handbag, taking out the euros that hadn''t been spent last time, and counting them one by one on the table.


    Wang Le asked the stewardess for a glass of Margarita, looked at An Feng who was counting the money, and joked, "How about showing off your wealth?"


    "Yeah." An Feng ignored him and continued to concentrate on counting, "Ever since someone tried to touch my wallet in Paris, I have always kept in mind the principle of ''fireproof, theft, and brother''. It was stolen unknowingly, and I still have the hole cards."


    Roger, who was playing with his mobile phone on the other side, said: "The law and order in Paris is not good either. I used to encounter the police to check passports, and some even wanted to check wallets."


    "It must be a fake policeman. The wallet check will often turn into a magic trick in the end. In the blink of an eye, hey, the person disappeared." An Feng divided the small denominations into a stack.


    "That''s right." Roger agreed, "And it''s useless for you to call the police. The police are busy with state affairs, so they don''t have time to take care of these small things."


    Wang Le smiled: "It feels like we and the ladies are creating a black and white impression area, one side is a beautiful longing, and the other side is a dark scene of depravity."


    "But it''s true, buddy." Roger lowered his chair, ready to sleep, "There are good and bad places, and the most important thing is to improve your defensive mentality. After all, we stayed in a downtown hotel, Hang around in the business district, relax and go play.��


    ��


    Arrived in Paris just in the morning.


    I have already booked a hotel before, and for high-end customers, there is naturally a special pick-up car, and I arrived at the hotel in the city center smoothly, and stayed in a luxurious suite. group activities.


    Generally, from the end of February to the beginning of March, Paris Fashion Week prepares for the autumn and winter of that year. The world''s major brands and famous designers will gather in Paris to stage grand fashion releases. More than a hundred feasts are enough to make everyone dizzy, and it is absolute to rush to the whole day.


    As a celebrity in the fashion industry, Miranda naturally has her own critical vision. What she recommends to everyone is not the brand, but the designer. She said that at the level of the rich, it doesn''t make much sense to pay attention to brands like ordinary people, and they all focus on customization. So she prefers the designer''s unique style.


    She plans to participate in two to three releases a day, pursuing refinement.


    The rest of the time is free, find some unique restaurants to enjoy. Infected by Miranda, it is not only the ladies who pursue refinement, but the men also abandon the simple suit shirts in clothing and replace them with the gentleman''s trend of the season, and there are still cameras to capture them when they walk together on the street.


    While eating a French meal, they were also discussing fashion.


    Listening to them talking about the history of major brands, An Feng asked: "These major brands are generally based in France or Italy, right?"


    Miranda nodded: "Yes, international luxury brands are mainly from these two countries, and some are family-run."


    Roger also said: "Luxury brands are all named after the founders, and they were naturally family-run at first, and have been passed down."


    "The ones that haven''t been sold?" An Feng asked.


    Miranda nodded: "For example, the LVMH Group in France has dozens of brands such as LV, Dior, and Givenchy. Group disputes are talked about."


    Roger looked at An Feng and asked, "Do you plan to play luxury goods?"


    He nodded frankly: "Of course, I have some ideas. To be honest, I have too much spare money this year, so I have to make some business investment. Luxury brands are my favorite, but I am currently facing a situation where the funds are neither too much nor too little. There are very few options at this level.��


    He has learned about some, such as Gucci, Chanel or Hermes, which are either worth tens of billions, or controlled by the family, and will not be sold if they die - of course, if they are willing to spend money, the empire will generally disintegrate from within, but An Feng just can''t do it now. Disrupt their money.


    Roger proudly said: "You have to ask Miranda about this."


    An Feng said with a smile: "Okay, I''ll invite her out to dinner tomorrow night, let''s talk about brand culture, don''t mind."


    Roger said: "It''s okay, I''ll just ask Joanna out." He turned his head to look at Joanna and asked, "Can I be allowed?"


    "Of course, if he dares to do it." Joanna smiled.


    "Haha." Roger smiled, "Bruce, you have to be careful."


    The guys were all having their sense of humour, and the vibe was relaxed. Miranda gave some advice: "These big brands are either family-run or controlled by large groups. It is not easy to buy shares, and it is even more difficult to acquire them. Of course, if you have a lot of money, please ignore what I said. "


    "Excluding them, there are some new brands that have emerged in the fashion industry in recent years and are sought after by celebrities and Hollywood actresses. In terms of development prospects, there are also some good ones. I don''t know what kind of products you prefer to choose, whether they specialize in women''s clothing or multi-faceted of?"


    An Feng thought about it, and said, "I prefer the one that can match Joanna."


    Miranda understood: "I really envy you, Joanna, your husband is not investing in business, but choosing a brand for you."


    Lisa was also envious: "It sounds so romantic."


    Joanna put down the knife, looked at An Feng, and he nodded: "If you don''t like it, I won''t take the risk of cross-border business."


    Miranda said: "If operating profit is not the first priority, why pursue big brands? Brands are only for the face and confidence of the middle class. The focus of celebrities or rich people should be on customization, and clothing that shows their own characteristics is the most important. Creativity is the most valuable."


    "Then what is your suggestion?" An Feng asked.


    Miranda said: "You can definitely invest in the brand created by the designer, let him become the queen''s clothing designer, and ensure that it is unique in the world."


    An Feng''s eyes lit up, after all, that''s what he was doing.


    "Tomorrow afternoon, we can go to a Lebanese senior designer Elie-Saab''s autumn and winter fashion show. He has attracted the attention of the international fashion industry in recent years. His works are famous for their luxurious, noble, elegant and charming evening dresses. The brand is very young , but the strength is not weak."


    ��


    In front of the conference venue, Elie-Saab��s fame attracted many news media. The camera lens was aimed at every car parked at the gate. There were many celebrities and big names coming out of it. Some singers and movie stars came to praise Saab��s venue. Very powerful.


    The hotel pick-up car they took sent them to the door. The man got off first and opened the door for the lady. Although they are not public figures, the ladies'' dresses are eye-catching enough, with gorgeous clothes, distinctive shapes and embellished jewelry, attracting many attention shots.


    On the contrary, the male is relatively low-key, and hastily enters the arena with his female companion.


    The layout of the conference venue used a lot of crystal lights, which is very luxurious and artistic. The director also spent a lot of thought on the details of the stage.


    After they sat down at the reserved seats, Miranda introduced to them the characteristics of the designer''s works in recent years. Although the brand is not as good as the big brands, the designer is absolutely top-notch. Many actresses favor the dresses he designed, including Oscar winner Halle Berry.


    While waiting, a man and a woman walked in front of An Feng. The man asked the lady to sit down and raised his head. The two looked at each other in surprise. "It''s you? Bruce?"


    An Feng smiled: "Khalid, nice to meet you!"


    "Me too!" Khalid shook hands with him, and then looked at the people beside him. An Feng gave him a brief introduction.


    Khalid greeted them, sat down, and said back: "I''ve been watching fashion shows in Paris these days, and I didn''t expect that we have similar tastes."


    An Feng applies what he has learned: "The designer is very good, especially the dress design that integrates Eastern and Western cultures, which has a bit of the characteristics of ancient palace clothes."


    Khalid agrees: "Indeed, the combination of European courts and Arabia."


    After they exchanged a few words, the press conference was about to start, so they stopped and focused their attention on the runway.


    The chandelier lights up just before the opening model''s gorgeous appearance, and the colors reflected are the main tone of the clothing, first blue, then pink, crimson; then black, white and gray. In terms of decoration, pearls favored by designers are particularly popular. Blue pearls are paired with navy blue chiffon goddess dresses; white pearls are decorated with long-sleeved princess dresses; champagne-colored ones are suitable for neutral pink-toned strapless cocktail dresses.


    After a few days of luxurious washing, An Feng thought that there would be no stunning look, but he was wrong. The designer has a lot of creativity, and the faintly visible **** expressed by the light silk mansan and pearl lace will make the luxurious The evening dress with the main tone is brought to the extreme, as if you are in a European court.


    Especially the style with a bit of luxury in the fashion, which is very suitable for Joanna''s temperament. Among the dozens of sets of clothes displayed by the model, An Feng feels that one-third of them are suitable for her, even her Bumps are much more beautiful than tall, thin models.


    Joanna also liked it, so An Feng had an idea.


    ��


    After the fashion show, An Feng and Khalid discussed the highlights of the show, and also talked about their interest in investment.


    Khalid heard this, and said: "The designer will hold a celebration banquet tomorrow night. If you are free to attend, I can recommend it to you."


    There is a reason why Khalid is so enthusiastic. The Qatari royal family and the Sinclair family cooperate in natural gas, and An Feng is the core of the consortium, so it is naturally worth dealing with. Although the Qatari royal family is rich, its political power in the international arena is not comparable to that of a consortium that can influence American politics.


    An Feng agreed to his kindness.

    Chapter 259 is very capable


    Exchanged contact information with Khaled and said goodbye temporarily.


    In the evening, they each find a chic and romantic place, and the next day is still free and active. The three couples have their own plans. There is Roger who goes to the park to see the scenery and a picnic, and Wang Le who goes shopping with his wife. An Feng wants to accompany Joanna on a special trip. To choose a perfume that suits her heart.


    Perfume is as important to Western women as beautiful clothes and jewelry, so this aspect cannot be ignored. After deciding to come to Paris, Joanna made an appointment for a perfume customization service, and now the time is just right. They drove to the "Guerlain House" on the Champs Elysees in the morning.


    Guerlain''s brand is well-known in the French perfume industry. It has a history of nearly two hundred years and was once the perfume brand used by Empress Napoleon III. Naturally, it is also the top fashion that a lady pursues, especially the most extravagant customized service, which is the dream of countless women.


    After instilling some knowledge in him, Joanna expressed her attitude: "I hope to bring you a unique taste that you will never forget."


    An Feng grabbed her little hand: "As long as you like it, I will."


    "Don''t think about the brand!" Joanna warned.


    An Feng laughed: "Do you think I''m going to buy the whole world?"


    "A little bit." Joanna said suspiciously, "You still have a lot of money to spend in your career, don''t just invest in secondary aspects."


    "Okay, you have the final say, my finance minister!" An Feng smiled.


    The hotel''s courtesy car sent them to the side of No. 68 road, and the two got off. The temperature in Paris was still a bit cold. He put his arms around Joanna''s waist, and when he looked up, he saw a very ordinary building, which was the same as other stores on the Champs-Elys��es Avenue, but it was a holy place for perfume.


    After entering the door, there are rows of exquisite glass display cabinets and perfume bottles that can be called works of art. The customers around are buying perfume under the recommendation of the shopping guide. There is a very unique fragrance in the air, which makes people feel comfortable. , is worthy of being a top perfume shop.


    A shopping guide stepped forward, and after Joanna told her about her appointment, she was received upstairs.


    The custom-made perfume here starts at least 30,000 Euros, which means that it costs more than 200,000 RMB to exchange for a bottle of hundreds of milliliters of perfume. Under her balance, she felt that customized models had to have long-term significance, so she invited Guerlain''s creative director, Ms. Delacourt, through high-end services.


    Ms. Delacourt, like an elderly Western woman, has many spots on her chest, but she has a lively smile and speaks fluent English. After shaking hands with them, sitting face to face at a glass table, the lady introduced some private customization services.


    She even put her mind on An Feng: "Perfume is very important to women, but it is also true to men. It can enhance self-confidence and become a unique mark."


    Joanna agrees: "I think so."


    An Feng smiled, and said to himself, ma''am, you should give me the title of "Sales Director".


    In addition to the creative director himself, there is also a perfumer, a very typical Frenchman, with a hooked nose, blue eyes and long hair. The specific judgment and production are all decided by him. He sat in front of them, brought several panels with pictures on them, and asked Joanna to choose which one she liked.


    Joanna chose several styles under his prompt, and then the perfumer analyzed like a horoscope: "Ma''am, what you like is the smell of flowers and lawn after the rain, which represents freshness, and the second one is a little fragrant. The scent of **** represents cleanliness and vitality, and the last one represents flowers and sweetness."


    "Is that right?" An Feng asked her.


    "Maybe," Joanna said.


    The perfumer smiled: "Don''t worry, ma''am, this is just the first step, and we will spend a long time getting to know your preferences."


    The perfumer gave her several funnel-shaped containers to taste, and then communicated with the creative director and perfumer, and the topics were all about daily preferences. An Feng went for a stroll when he had nothing to do. This place is like a jewelry store. The bottles of exquisite perfume have unique shapes, which are pleasing to the eye.


    There are even men''s versions.


    An Feng didn''t expect that even he could gain something... After Joanna communicated with them, the matter was not over yet. For high-value customization, after a preliminary understanding, she had to listen to the customer''s heart through more channels to understand her preferences , temperament, taste and identity.


    They will have meals, chat, and visit several characteristic shops together, and have a unique smelling experience... The whole process has been recorded tirelessly, and even An Feng thinks it is worth the money. They were also recommended by Ms. Delacourt to drink exquisite hot chocolate, which was very memorable.


    It wasn''t until the afternoon that the exchange ended.


    The perfumer was in a particularly good mood. He described Joanna as a woman full of energy and style, with aristocratic cultural background and acceptance of the trend of the new era...so he was honored to be able to customize for such a unique lady A most unique fragrance.


    An Feng listened to what he said clearly and logically, but he was short of the final feeling of admiration.


    After leaving, the customization cost 200,000 Euros, and it will take about a year for production. This will also be the focus of the perfumer''s future work. An Feng feels that good things have to wait, but there is no way, there is no shortcut in making perfume. Perfection is always rare.


    ��


    That night, Joanna dressed up carefully and put on a black suspender dress. In order to cater to the style, she wore a string of white pearl necklaces around her neck, and a gold and diamond-studded Winnie the Pooh brooch on her skirt. Playful with a touch of style.


    She held An Feng''s hand and attended the banquet held at the hotel.


    Before that, the two of them didn��t know each other at all. They just saw it at the press conference, and then they were invited here by Khalid. Now Khalid is still missing...Life needs courage, but An Feng has seen it in great winds and waves. , to cope with these scenes without pressure.


    It is customary to appear on the sign-in stage first, and leave your name on the poster behind you. There are also people taking pictures on the way, but they are very low-key and do not pose several times like other celebrity models. This kind of behavior generally shows that they are not public figures, and they must pay attention to portrait rights.


    They came to the magnificent banquet hall, surrounded by six round tables, no one was seated yet. According to the Western custom, a cocktail party is held before the banquet to let the guests warm up and get to know each other. Many well-dressed and well-dressed men and women are communicating.


    But it seems that there are mostly celebrities or supermodels here. An Feng''s social circle rarely overlaps with the entertainment circle. Most of his circles are rich or politicians, and he has little interest in entertainment. If there is an international big name, he may be interested.


    Finally, holding a cocktail, I stood in the corner and chatted with Joanna.


    It wasn''t until Khaled showed up with his female companion, Laila, that the low-key but prominent couple showed their faces.


    Khalid came up with his female companion, smiled and said, "I''m sorry, the traffic jam on the road took me a while, have you waited a long time?"


    "It''s okay, we were early." An Feng said understandingly.


    Khaled gave another hug to Joanna, and took them away: "Please come with me, Mr. Sabo and Laila are very close."


    Khalid''s Lebanese girlfriend Leila is a compatriot with the designer Sabo. Soon, a short, honest-looking guy appeared with a female companion. Khalid introduced: "This is Mr. Allie Sabo, and this is his wife. These two people who came from afar are Bruce Ann and his wife."


    Seeing that it was Khalid who introduced him, Sabo didn''t dare to neglect, reached out and shook hands with An Feng, and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. An."


    Then he shook hands with Joanna and smiled: "Please allow me to praise your beauty and temperament from the bottom of my heart. You cannot be ignored in the crowd."


    "Thanks. Nice to meet you too," Joanna said.


    Khalid said: "In terms of designers, Saab is world-class, including the beautiful dress on Laila, which is also from his hands."


    "Thank you, Khalid." Sabo said with a smile.


    Khalid continued: "My friend came here today, and I have something to talk to you about."


    Sabo looked at An Feng, and he didn''t beat around the bush, and said directly: "Mr. Sabo, my wife and I have watched several of your high-end dress releases, and feel that the creativity and style are very in line with her aesthetics. It must be perfect for her. Yes, she likes your creativity."


    "Thank you, Mr. An, and Madam." Sabo smiled, and it was natural and pleasant to be praised.


    An Feng said: "In addition, I am also interested in your brand. If you are willing, I can offer you very good terms."


    Sabo listened and said with a smile: "I am very grateful to you, sir, for your good opinion of my brand, but now it is the dinner stage, I am afraid I don''t have much time to discuss with you in detail. If there is a chance, we will find a special time How about we talk about this?"


    "It''s really inappropriate now, I can understand." An Feng knew that this was a tactful expression of disinterest, but he still took out his business card and handed it to him.


    Sabo took the business card and exchanged his own with him.


    After a few more exchanges, he went to entertain other guests. Khalid said, "Bruce, you don''t seem to have enough money."


    An Feng''s attitude is very good: "There is always no satisfactory thing in the world, and I have no intention of walking this single-plank bridge."


    Khalid looked at the couple and said, "Please don''t go, let me say a few words for you."


    Things did not make progress, and Joanna was obviously not interested in the people here. Even though the dinner had not officially started, she did have the idea of ??resigning.


    An Feng said: "Thank you, Khaled."


    "Thank you when it''s over." Khalid walked to Sabo''s position, pulled him aside and said something, then looked at An Feng, who was too far away and didn''t know what to say... Finally, Seeing Khalid smiled, he picked up the champagne glass and touched him.


    After Khalid walked back, he said: "Things are going well, he will find a special place to talk to you tomorrow."


    An Feng was even more curious about what he said: "How did you do it?"


    Khalid didn��t hide it either: ��I��ll tell you the truth, Ann is a super rich man with a deep background and a member of a large consortium. When you feel that LVMH and Hermes are huge and rich, they are just pockets in front of him. A nouveau riche with a few gold bricks in his pocket is not worth mentioning."


    An Feng laughed.


    "Don''t mind?" Khaled said.


    "It''s really good to have someone help me promote it, but be careful not to scare people." An Feng said with a smile.


    Khaled said: "I still talked about your ability in a small way. Who in the world doesn''t know new energy and super chips? People who can change the world, I think, are more powerful than the president of the United States. The president of the United States is in some kind of To a certain extent, it disrupts the world, but technology changes the future."

 Chapter 260： team plan

    Chapter 260 Team Planning


    An Feng then went to Switzerland.


    In the Credit Suisse office in Zurich, I saw Herlandek in a neat suit and a calm face.


    An Feng sat down, thanked the assistant who poured water for him, and said to Hlandek, "Why didn''t you inform me of this situation before?"


    Hollandeke flipped through the computer records: "I have called you seven times and sent twelve emails, explaining that the international exchange rate has fluctuated frequently recently and the value of the US dollar is unstable. I suggest that you change your deposit to a more secure fixed deposit. assets or other business investments, and you say you don��t worry about it.��


    An Feng felt embarrassed when he thought about it, and smiled: "Sorry, I have too many things recently."


    "So I urgently inform you, because the dollar may rise, but it is more likely to fall." Helandek said solemnly.


    "Is there any good way to preserve value?" An Feng asked.


    "You can consider gold, or use the money to invest in funds, or engage in other things that can appreciate in value, such as sports. As far as I know, American professional football teams have a high appreciation space, or basketball, or motor sports. And football in Europe."


    An Feng thought that the investment in the United States naturally has an American Express account, and the offshore account is obviously more suitable for overseas, so he asked: "European football?"


    "Let''s take the Premier League teams as an example." Helandek said, "Although the team can''t make much profit, the value of the team is actually increasing every year, such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United. The team has profits and losses, but the overall price has risen."


    An Feng thought about it in his head.


    Hlandek reminded: "My plan is just a reference, and there is also the possibility of loss."


    "I know." An Feng is naturally aware of this. It doesn''t mean that if you invest in a high value, you will be able to preserve the value, and you will lose more, and you will still be in debt in the end. But now you have too much money in the bank, and you get money every year. The business is in the initial stage, and there is no time to spend a lot of money.


    So he didn''t want to deposit too much money in the bank and evaporate it silently, which is too bad.


    Investing in sports is also beneficial to the promotion of bio-drinks.


    An Feng communicated his ideas with his assistant Goodrich. For the Premier League team, Goodrich is full of enthusiasm, and he is a fan himself.


    An Feng asked him to sort out the information and list the value and possibility of acquisition.


    ��


    one day later.


    An Feng was invited to fly to Qatar. On the plane, he browsed the local culture. Presumably the most well-known in the Middle East is Dubai, which is a representative of the rich in the eyes of the world, full of supercars and top hotels, the location of the tallest building, and a luxury resort.


    The Gulf country not far from Dubai, Qatar, is relatively low-key.


    Actually, Qatar is not as flashy as Dubai, but it is richer. Dubai has a population of more than 2 million, with a per capita GDP of about US$40,000, while Qatar has a population of nearly 2 million, with a per capita GDP of more than 100,000. In terms of total GDP, Qatar is more than twice that of Dubai.


    It may be that the concept of spending money in the two regions is different. Dubai is frantically investing money in urban construction, turning it into a tourist and consumption resort to cope with the situation of oil depletion. As a country, Qatar should devote itself to improving its influence and invest more in the world.


    The most famous is their big money. The funds invested in the 2006 Asian Games are the standard of the Olympic Games. This country regards the Asian Games as the Olympic Games. In order to host the 2022 World Cup, it also claimed to install air conditioning on the stadium...in order to improve football In terms of influence, they even prepared 1.5 billion pounds to buy Manchester United, but in the end it was nothing, and they are still staring at the Premier League.


    Qatar does not have the madness of Dubai in terms of urban construction, but in terms of the ability to burn money, these local tyrants in the Middle East are all the same. After a preliminary understanding, An Feng understood why Khalid was so enthusiastic. The reason was naturally the United States. Qatar and the United States had a lot of cooperation and wanted sugar daddy.


    An Feng is the core of the consortium, and its consortium supports the new US president. It must have closer cooperation in oil or natural gas. The United States also intends to provide military equipment to Qatar...Through this complicated relationship chain, it can indeed play a role. positive impetus.


    The plane arrived over the peninsula. This country is very small and has nothing but oil and natural gas. Most of the daily necessities depend on imports, but it has also turned the capital Doha into a modern city. Looking down, tall buildings stand tall and there are row upon row of buildings by the bay.


    The plane landed on the new airport built by Qatar. Its huge scale allows the world''s largest transport plane: An-225 to also dock, which is a manifestation of image and strength. The airport has just been put into operation, and there are very few flights. After the plane lands, it stops in a special area.


    A stewardess came and said, "Mr. An, your car is here."


    "Okay, goodbye everyone! Have a nice trip!" An Feng said to the crew.


    Holding Joanna''s hand and walking down the gangway, a black Rolls Royce stopped.


    The driver opened the door for them, and the two sat in the back seat of the Phantom and left the airport. It was afternoon, but the temperature in March was not low. The sun outside the window was fierce, and the surrounding buildings were covered with a layer of earthy yellow. Presumably, the usual wind and sand were not small, and there were still many construction sites on the road.


    After driving along the coast for about ten minutes, I arrived at a luxurious and beautiful villa area.


    Originally, An Feng planned to stay in a local hotel, but he couldn��t hold back Khalid��s enthusiasm. He said that there was no one at home, and there was enough comfortable room for them to choose, so An Feng agreed. When the car passed the gate, the security guard saw the iconic car and let it pass without inspection.


    After the car drove for a while in the villa area, it finally stopped in front of a modern building with a European style. The door was opened, and An Feng felt the hot weather in Doha. The two-piece suit was really unbearable. It was still March. If By June and July, being in the forties is inevitable.


    No wonder the Qatari government proposed to change the World Cup to winter. The players can bear the hot weather, and the fans can''t stand it either.


    A man wearing a traditional Arabian white robe and a pair of sandals came out of the room. An Feng stared intently for a few seconds before he recognized that he was Khaled.


    "Welcome!" Khalid invited them into the house.


    Walking into the house for a while, An Feng looked at the western-style decoration and joked: "I thought you were going to invite me to live in the palace."


    Khalid said: "If you want, I can also take you in for a few days."


    "I still like to be more free, this place is good." An Feng refused with a smile.


    Khalid said: "I told you that you would like it. I have lived in the West all year round, and my living habits and aesthetics are similar to yours."


    "It''s very good here." An Feng said, it''s similar to some vacation villas in the United States, with gardens and trees in the front yard that can best reflect the level of affluence.


    In the desert area, it is said that if you want to plant a tree, the annual maintenance cost will be at least 5,000 U.S. dollars, and the high point will reach 10,000 U.S. dollars. He just counted and there are at least eight trees in Khaled��s front yard , and then came to the backyard with green grass, overlooking the bay, not only trees, but also a luxurious swimming pool under the shade of green trees. Fresh water is a proper luxury.


    "Well, okay?" Khaled said.


    "Very nice place, you must have put a lot of thought into it."


    Khalid had a smile on his face when he heard the praise: "Of course, this place is different from London, and it will cost a lot to renovate the environment."


    After visiting the backyard, Khaled invited them to sit down and served tea to the servants, saying, "I will prepare a roast sheep feast for you tonight."


    Roasted whole lamb is a way of entertaining VIPs in Qatar, and Khaled specially prepared it. An Feng knew the customs, so he said a few polite words.


    After Khalid left temporarily, someone came to his house again.


    The first to come in were two children in clean white robes. They were about eleven or twelve years old. They both had handsome faces and held a football in their arms. After entering, they began to chatter. An Feng couldn''t understand Arabic either. , but seeing their extraordinary momentum, there was a sense of arrogance in their eyes.


    A middle-aged man with a big beard also wearing a white robe followed up behind him. He patted the brat who was about to play football in the living room, taught him a lesson, and then glanced towards An Feng, hesitating, and with a lot of effort The unfamiliar English said: "Are you Khalid''s friends?"


    "Yes, may I ask who you are?" An Feng looked at him.


    Khalid soon appeared, said a few words in Arabic, and then introduced: "This is my elder brother Farhad, his two children."


    Then he said a few words to Farhad in Arabic. Farhad extended his hand with a smile. An Feng shook hands with him. Dear friends, I hope you can like the life here and get used to this place."


    "Thank you very much for your enthusiasm, sir!" An Feng said with a smile.


    The two brats stared at An Feng and muttered, not knowing what to say, Khalid then translated: "I hope you don''t mind, they want to come here to play football."


    "It doesn''t matter, exercise is good for the body." An Feng said.


    Khaled said as he walked: "Actually, it is because of the hosting of the World Cup. Football has emerged in our country. The two children have nothing to do at home, and Fahad can''t play football. I practiced a little when I was in college in the UK, so They like to come here to play with me every time."


    An Feng said with a smile: "Maybe they are very talented."


    Khalid said: "Even if there is, their future path is not in sports."


    An Feng understands that these are members of the royal family. It would be too cheap to play football and become professional athletes.


    They came to the backyard, where Joanna and Lila sat down in the shade and drank tea. The two children were playing in the sun, don''t look at the bear boy wearing a robe, kicked the ball high, Khalid ran out to catch the ball with his chest, rolled to the instep, bounced a few times skillfully, and gave it to two children.


    An Feng also played with them for a few minutes. His skills were mediocre, but he was more than enough to abuse bear children. When he got tired from playing later, Khaled gave them the task of sparring, and then went back to the shade to drink ice water to relieve the heat. The two children are still playing happily on the green lawn.


    Regarding the topic of the World Cup, An Feng said: "Speaking of football, I also have some intentions to acquire the Premier League team recently, so as to promote the corporate brand for me."


    Khalid asked: "Which team do you fancy?"


    An Feng said: "I have sufficient funds. Except for the two most expensive teams, I can buy others, but the main thing is whether the owner is willing to sell."


    Khaled said: "You are amazing! Our purchase of the Premier League team has not been settled until now, and things have diverged again. We plan to spend more money on buying young or valuable players and let them join us. Qatar nationality, representing the 2022 World Cup."


    An Feng was surprised: "You guys have more ideas!"

 Chapter 261： sand washing

    Chapter 261 Sand flushing


    With a population of less than 2 million in Qatar, the probability of producing excellent players who can play in the World Cup is not high, but they have money, so things like buying players and transferring their nationality came into being. At present, they have found a group of good players, who are still kept secret.


    Khalid is very confident: "As long as they are dealt with, I believe Qatar can advance to the quarterfinals."


    An Feng said: "Perhaps if you work harder, you may still be able to advance to the semi-finals."


    Khalid smiled: "Don''t laugh, I am afraid that it will cost less than half of the cost of hosting the World Cup to realize this dream."


    "Who can tell for sure in the future?" An Feng gave him hope.


    "Thank you for saying that. When you talk about the Premier League team, according to my statistics and observations over the years, there are some good suggestions. Do you need it?"


    "Please tell me, I don''t know much about the specific value." An Feng said.


    "You need to promote your own brand. The team needs to be influential and have a huge fan base. Therefore, a wealthy team is an excellent choice. However, there are factors such as overvaluation and the owner''s reluctance to sell. Finally, it is ruled out. Liverpool, who have not won the championship for many years, are the first choice."


    An Feng listened attentively: "Continue."


    Khaled said: "Since John Henry bought Liverpool from Hicks and Gillette, the bright future that I thought was not realized, even the new stadium that I have been looking forward to for many years has not been found, coupled with the nature of the new owner I am more inclined to invest in sports ventures, because I don��t have enough money, and I can��t play with the money.��


    Khaled said a lot, analyzing various reasons, including lack of money to buy players, lack of a strong stadium, lack of a strong enough lineup, the second in a millennium, doubts that the company''s iron **** will not pluck hair... Anyway, in the past few years, Liverpool''s performance There are good times and bad times, and the business is dismal.


    "Someone else broke the news that Henry is dissatisfied with the team''s sluggish performance, and his funds are also problematic. The company can''t afford to run the team. It is very likely that Liverpool will be changed again." Khaled looked at An Feng, no doubt Yes, the super rich do have this ability, as long as he is willing to spend money to play.


    An Feng nodded: "It''s worth considering."


    Khaled reminded: "But I have to tell you one thing. When bidding for Liverpool, a Chinese buyer bid significantly higher, but the last three non-shareholder board members insisted on selling Liverpool to NESV. There''s black-box manipulation or race issues in it."


    An Feng can also understand: "I didn''t say that I must be the boss. My wife is completely competent in terms of background and status."


    Khalid said: "If it is a noble lady, I think the Red Army will be very popular."


    "Thank you for saying that." An Feng smiled, "It''s uncertain what to say at the moment. If the owner doesn''t want to sell, I can''t help it."


    "That''s the truth, but with discretionary money, I think there will always be suitable targets." Khaled said.


    An Feng agrees, in fact, he has a wide range of choices, not necessarily a football team, the one billion yuan is enough to participate in many popular competitions, and even on a whim, it is not a problem to add a cruise ship to Ocean Shipping... The current focus is Let the money flow, beware of letting it depreciate.


    ��


    Had dinner at Khaled��s home that night.


    Arabs also use tableware such as knives, forks, spoons, etc., and are particularly fond of ceramic products. A row of people sit on each side of the square table and put the roast lamb on the table. The enthusiastic Khalid invited some friends. The guy in the incomparable white robe sits at the dining table and eats.


    During the meeting, there were curiosity and questions about An Feng and his wife, but he would answer in detail everything he knew, and Khaled would translate it to promote the friendship between the two countries... After getting along, get rid of the mystery of the Arabs and the outside world. Not a bad impression, they are all very friendly.


    The reason for the estrangement is nothing more than religious issues, as well as differences in cultural traditions. For example, the simple minds of Americans can never understand the long history of China and Europe. become a contradiction.


    The dinner and conversation took a lot of time, which was very enjoyable and improved understanding. For example, An Feng finally figured out the meaning of their long names. For example, Khaled, his full name is very long, and the common ones are not short: Khalid bin Abdullah bin Faisal al-Thani.


    Khaled explained to them: "In fact, in simple terms, it is my name, father''s name, grandfather''s name, and finally people from the (Al) Sani family. If it is longer, you can also add some meaningful characters or An area to remember."


    The two opened their eyes, and An Feng asked: "Then, Ben.** is actually the Western media messing around. This is not the surname of that radical uncle, but it is very likely the name of one of his relatives? American How to call it, how to scold it, are you referring to a person who doesn''t know what to say?"


    Khalid smiled: "Yes, in fact, the terrorist tycoon who was killed by the US military was called Osama, and ''**'' should be the name of his ancestors."


    An Feng couldn''t help laughing: "It feels like Westerners think that Chinese people are always the same, and the pronunciation of the surname is repeated within a few words."


    "That''s right, that''s how it feels." Khaled nodded.


    "I''ve learned a lot." An Feng said.


    ��


    Early the next morning, Khaled took them to play exciting games.


    When you come to Arab countries, one of the most indispensable experience items is: sand washing.


    In the coastal area south of Doha, there is a large area that is very suitable for sand skiing. People can slide down on a skateboard at the peak. In addition, there are four-wheel all-terrain vehicles, four-wheel drive off-road vehicles, and even pick-up trucks if you have good skills. Let''s face it, but it''s a test of character.


    Due to the outdoor activities and the strong sunshine, An Feng and Joanna are dressed in long-sleeved shirts, taking into account the local customs, Joanna gave up the skirt and changed into a pair of jeans that show her figure, with a breathable scarf around her neck and a braided headband hat and sunglasses on his nose.


    An Feng looked at her attire, helped her pull the scarf to her mouth, and joked, "This looks a bit like a black widow!"


    "Nonsense!" Joanna pushed him away and went to look in the mirror, enjoying herself.


    Khalid asked someone to send two cars, and when An Feng went out to take a look, they were indeed the high-end standard equipment of the rich and royal family: Mercedes-Benz G-Class AMG.


    The chalk-white body and the square shape, the evaluation of its unchanged shape for decades can be divided into two types of people: ugly; or handsome and temperamental.


    But no matter what, it can��t change the aura of its civilian off-road king, Mercedes-Benz G65-AMG, it just takes into account the comfort and off-road performance, no matter which brand it is compared with, it seems pale... An Feng took a few glances , The two-meter-high body is really domineering.


    Khalid said to him: "Let Laila drive the car to the destination first, and then you drive one of them."


    An Feng said no problem, and got into the car with Joanna, Khalid drove the front car and set off, Laila started the car behind him, and slowly left the city, the landscape of tall buildings disappeared, replaced by endless desert and barrenness, a highway Lonely stretches into the distance.


    About forty kilometers away, they arrived at the sand-flushing resort by the sea.


    Khaled came down and explained to them: "Deflate the tires before sanding, lowering the tire pressure. It increases the tire footprint to provide better anti-sag, which improves traction and reduces vehicle tension. force and minimize wear and tear during travel.��


    An Feng also took the tool to deflate the four tires, then sat in the driver''s seat, started the car, and watched Khalid show off the skills of rushing from the **** to the top of the slope. The sets of differential locks work at the same time to ensure the working efficiency of the tires.


    There were also people washing sand around, but it was obvious that there were mostly Japanese cars, and it was not the scene of large-displacement off-road vehicles everywhere, either Mercedes-Benz or Land Rover, as An Feng had imagined. After turning around in situ, after getting familiar with the operation, I refueled and rushed towards the sand pile, loosened the accelerator appropriately, and let the car move forward slowly.


    When rushing up the sand slope, the inclination angle felt in the car is very large, and there is the thrill of riding a roller coaster. The sand **** is very long. From the window, you can see the surrounding cars driving sideways or backwards. The world has been turned upside down, and it feels amazing. After rushing to the top, there was a vast ocean in front of him. Khalid, who was next to him, honked his horn and pointed down.


    Naturally, if you rush up, you have to drive down, let the car drive down the sandy slope, a little slippery, but only for a short moment, the differential lock is adjusted, and continue to go down steadily, paddling on the wet beach Do a few laps, and then follow it back and forth again, to have a good time.


    Later, An Feng also recommended Joanna to try it.


    She was also interested, so she switched places with An Feng, and it was her turn to sit in the driver''s seat and control this nearly 3-ton beast. Sitting on it, the field of view is very spacious, which is not at the same level as a low-slung sports car, but the steering wheel is heavy, and it takes a little effort for ladies.


    Joanna stepped on the accelerator with confidence and began to accept the challenge. Feeling her driving style, An Feng reminded: "Follow the tire marks left by the vehicle in front of you, because the sand under these marks has been compacted, which is much harder than the untraveled sand. "


    "What?" Joanna felt that the tire on the right side of the car was slipping, so she continued to pump oil, causing the four tires to spin at high speed, digging out four large holes in a few moments, the suspension stroke had been stretched to the limit, and the tires were still suspended. The result is that the sand and soil stand against the site.


    "That''s not how you drive on sand, girl! You made a big mistake!" An Feng poked his head out to look, "It''s different on flat land, where you can climb out with your foot on the accelerator, but on sandy land, the speed is too high, and the tires are easy to get out." Dig the hole, the car is so heavy, it is very difficult to get out."


    "So what?" she asked.


    An Feng taught her: "Reverse if you can''t move forward, so put the reverse gear first, and gently try to retreat along your rut, and you will retreat along a road that has been compacted. When you reach a sufficient distance, grab the When the ground is strong, try to move forward and be careful not to get trapped again."


    "Okay." Joanna was ready to try.


    Khaled stopped next to them, walked to them, bent down and looked at the four suspended wheels, and said, "It''s not easy to get out."


    "Don''t listen to him, you can do it." An Feng encouraged.


    Joanna shifted to reverse gear, stepped on the gas pedal, and felt that she was going backward for a while. After climbing onto the sandy soil, she carefully controlled it to move forward. At first, it was a little slippery, but after refueling in the direction felt in her heart, the car started to move. An Feng hurriedly said: "The opportunity is here, move forward slowly!"


    Joanna held her breath. She felt that the left front wheel had compacted the sand. She could use this opportunity to drag the car up, so she added some fuel. The heavy body was dragged out of the bunker.


    An Feng said: "Congratulations, you succeeded!"


    "Yeah!" Joanna looked at the situation outside, and she did get out of the bunker.


    She looked at Khaled triumphantly again: "Did you see it?"


    Khalid smiled outside and said: "Very good! Not bad!"


    =======


    PS: Going around and finally mentioned that the team has decided on Liverpool, so if you have any ideas or suggestions, you can talk about it.

 Chapter 262： Thoroughbred

    Chapter 262 Thoroughbred Horse


    It is not difficult to play sand flushing with a V12 engine off-road vehicle. After Joanna got familiar with the trick, she moved forward obliquely and backwards with ease. She also hit the waves by the beach and danced with the waves. But the Arabs don''t seem to like swimming in the sea, but the unique sand sports.


    They didn''t return until the afternoon.


    Originally, Laila had to drive, but Khalid changed a car with them. It was the same model, the only difference was that there were some Arabic letters written on the side of Khalid��s white G65. An Feng was puzzled. Ask: "Let me drive? Are you afraid that the police will come to check the car?"


    Khalid is not worried: "Don''t worry, the license plate is reserved for the royal family, and there will be no police stopping and checking."


    An Feng looked at the license plate, and unexpectedly, he also drove a privileged car...Get in the car and follow Khaled to leave the sand flushing area, return to the road, inflate the tires at the auto parts store, and start on the road again. Back in Doha, Khalid recommended them a Lebanese restaurant in Doha Bay.


    The location of this restaurant is very good, it is open-air, and it is located by the bay. When night falls, the lights on the high-rise buildings shine on the sea, and the lights are brilliant and bright. Sitting on the beach and enjoying it quietly, you can look at the bustling city, but stay away from the hustle and bustle.


    After the four sat down, Khalid introduced: "This is the most exquisite Lebanese restaurant in Arabia, with the most delicious Arabic meals."


    An Feng picked up the menu booklet, which said "Welcome to the best restaurant in the world" in English, with great confidence. When you open the menu and see those exquisite dishes, it feels a bit like a la carte in a French restaurant, with complex and diverse types. On the recommendation of Khalid, I ordered a few specialties.


    Khalid explained: "Lebanon was once ruled by France, and French culture has a great influence on them, and the dishes always have the shadow of French cuisine."


    Leila from Lebanon also said: "Because of the influence of Western culture, Lebanese food is the most characteristic of Arab food."


    As far as I know these days, Lebanon is also a Middle Eastern country. It believes in Islam, but it is the most special among them. Their clothing and music lead Arab fashion. Miss World often has the shadow of Lebanese women, and food is also in Arab countries. the best.


    Looking at the women who occasionally followed their husbands around, they were all dressed in black robes with only one face exposed, while Laila was dressed in a fashionable fashion. From the clothes, you can feel the difference between Lebanon and other Middle Eastern countries. They are very Open, even regarded as "heterogeneous".


    It is this kind of maverick. When the meal is on the table, people in other regions can experience this deliciousness. It is similar to the order of French meals, appetizers, main courses, then desserts and tea. A beautiful and delicious meal that satisfies those who enjoy it.


    Khalid also served as a cultural communication ambassador, explaining the customs and habits of their country to An Feng and Joanna to enhance understanding. Some local people are explaining, and many phenomena can be explained, such as the ban on alcohol in Qatar, but foreign hotels in Doha are allowed to sell alcohol.


    ��There are no regulations for foreigners to drink alcohol in foreign restaurants, and the price of alcohol is a bit expensive, but for locals to buy alcohol, it is difficult and requires a license.��


    "Do you need a license to buy alcohol?" An Feng asked.


    "Yes, we, like other countries in Japan, strictly prohibit alcohol." After Khalid finished speaking, he moved closer, "In fact, under the impact of Western culture, many people''s ideas have changed. For example, there are often some The rich secretly take yachts to Bahrain to drink."


    "I see." An Feng said.


    ��


    The next day, Khaled continued to be a tour guide to take them around.


    It seems that Khaled is determined to be a cultural disseminator and promote his country to foreign friends. It feels good. After experiencing the cultural customs yesterday, today he drove them to the Doha Jockey Club in the suburbs to experience the equestrian culture of Qatar.


    The Doha Jockey Club once held the Asian Games equestrian competition. The construction of the venues is very luxurious, with modern stables and standard indoor and outdoor horse riding arenas. They raise batches of expensive horses, mostly Arabian horses, which are of great interest to the couple.


    Khaled said as he walked: "We raise a lot of purebred Arabian horses here, and there are also descendants of champion horses. They are all super-class thoroughbred horses. There are even a few Egyptian purebred Arabian horses worth more than ten million, but it is a pity , they were taken to private breeding."


    "Are you interested in selling it?" An Feng asked.


    Khalid did not refuse: "You are my guests. If you like it, I can consider reselling some top-notch Arabian horses to you."


    "This is the best news today." An Feng said.


    Khalid smiled and said, "It''s only morning now."


    "Joanna and I both like equestrianism, and an equestrian club in the United States is about to be established, and we are currently looking for high-quality horses all over the world." An Feng said.


    ��Finding a horse that suits your needs is indeed a lot of trouble.�� Khaled said.


    An Feng said: "I agree. The demand for the club is high, and it is difficult to find the number that can form a polo team. Until now, we have not made up our minds. If you have good horses here, Seriously, I''d pay a premium for a batch."


    "That''s no problem, let''s visit first." Khaled invited them to enter.


    Coincidentally, there is an indoor training hall that is training equestrianism. When I visited it up close, the knights are actually a few young children, at most thirteen or fourteen years old. Besides the boy, there are two girls, all of them are the same. British equestrian equipment, wearing heroic looks on the body.


    Khalid said proudly: "Our country is also slowly opening up, and equality between men and women is a matter of time. Only by following the trend can we be accepted by the world."


    Joanna agrees: "I agree."


    Khalid took them to the fence, where the two children were performing. Joanna raised her camera to take pictures of them, and a woman in a black robe walked beside her, covering her hair and ears like a traditional Arab woman. Only one face was exposed, and it looked very young.


    But she didn''t have the shyness of the Arab women in her impression. Instead, she proudly pointed to a boy on the field and said in English: "That''s my son, he is twelve years old this year."


    Joanna smiled: "Their riding skills are good."


    The woman also smiled: "Of course, there are also my two daughters. They are resting and will play later. You can also take pictures of them."


    An Feng looked along, and there were two girls who were dressed similarly to ordinary Western girls. They were looking at the camera here, and they were cuter than scissorhands.


    Khalid said to them: "In fact, in this field, boys and girls have equal rights, and this is what we have won."


    The woman saw Khalid''s face clearly, and she was surprised, but also nodded shyly, and greeted in Arabic.


    Khalid also showed a friendly smile.


    Chatted with each other and learned that the woman was from Lebanon. Although she had never studied abroad, she had learned English and French. Later, she married a rich man in Qatar and lived a happy life. Qatar is relatively open. Although it is also polygamous, not everyone has several wives.


    Arab countries can marry up to four wives, but it��s not that women have no power. It requires the husband to treat all women fairly, that is, what to buy for the eldest wife, and the other three must be the same, so not all men Like the habit of polygamy.


    But when Joanna also wanted to take a photo with her, she refused with a smile.


    After some visits and explanations, I finally came to the stables where the good horses were raised. Khalid translated the situation of each horse introduced by the staff. Here are all three to six-year-old horses, enjoying the most professional care, more than half of them are Arabian purebloods, all of them are valuable and smart.


    Khaled said: "The thoroughbred horses here were imported from the UK and have been registered in the studbook. The "General Register" can be traced back hundreds of years. Their ancestors are all the three famous thoroughbreds. The genetics are stable. It is extremely explosive and is recognized as the best breed in the world. Especially for horses used in sprint competitions, bloodlines play a very important role because of the genetic stability of their parents."


    Joanna took a fancy to the younger ones. One of them was just over three years old. Usually, this age has not yet completed growth and development. There are risks in buying, but there are also surprises. There is an element of luck in it, the young ones are cheap, but risky, and the ones that have been proved by the event are risk-free, but the price is high.


    "I found the right one," Joanna said back.


    "Are you sure?" An Feng asked, he had no knowledge of Joanna.


    "They are very good in terms of response and performance." Joanna said, "One is three and a half years old, and the other is four years old. When the club is established, we need to train for one or two years. Add the training period, and they will Be in top shape physically and mentally, won''t you?"


    "It makes sense." An Feng calculated the addition, and the age of six happens to be the adult age of a horse.


    Khalid said at this time: "If you like these two horses, I can contact the management and sell them to you at a reasonable price."


    "It''s really troublesome for you." An Feng said.


    Khalid contacted the management of the club. In fact, this place is state property, so with his help and a certain friendship factor, it is not a big problem to sell these horses that are preparing for training, and the price is not too high. , with an average price of $400,000 per horse.


    After staying in Doha for a few days, Guliedman also sent news.


    The result of the negotiation with Saab is that the other party is willing to sell 35% of the shares at a price of 310 million US dollars, which is a bit higher than An Feng expected, but considering its annual growth rate and sales, Joanna obviously likes this Design, he agreed and asked to sign the contract as soon as possible.


    Therefore, the trip in Qatar is also over.


    An Feng hugged Khaled farewell at the airport: "Thank you very much for your warm hospitality these days, making us feel comfortable at home. Doha is a beautiful and charming place. If there is a chance, I also welcome it very much You are a guest in California!"


    Khaled smiled and said, "It will, my friend!"


    An Feng let go of him, Khaled shook hands with Joanna again, said some polite words, then watched them board the plane and waved his hands below.


    Joanna sat down and said, "Khalid is so enthusiastic."


    An Feng nodded: "He is a friend worth dealing with. Congratulations, we have also opened up circles in the Middle East, and Lebanon is next!"

 Chapter 263： Fly all over the world

    Chapter 263 Flying around the world


    After a short flight, the plane landed in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.


    Due to lack of understanding, in the eyes of outsiders, the Middle East is a place full of war, poverty and terrorism, but this is too one-sided, just like some Americans still think that China has no toilets, and uniform uniforms and speeches are everywhere iron curtain society.


    Perhaps just like Dubai, Beirut has subverted people''s understanding of the Arab world. It has been dubbed the "Paris of the Middle East". In line.


    Cars driving on the streets of Beirut can feel the vicissitudes of history and the prosperity of modern society, and the Arab women here have been liberated to the extent that they can abandon the black robes, show their faces, and freely choose their clothes. Part of the backward religious culture was diluted.


    On the way to the destination, Joanna pointed out the window: "Look, there is a mosque next to the Catholic Church!"


    An Feng followed her pointing eyes, amazed, probably rare in the world, two religious buildings are built next to each other, and live in harmony.


    Such a strange scene, no wonder the Arabs call Lebanon an alternative.


    After a quick glance in the car, I already have a preliminary impression of this city. It is not backward and poor. As a small Paris, its bustling business district gathers world-renowned luxury stores, restaurants, and high-end hotels. You can''t tell the difference between locals and foreign tourists in the crowd.


    The car finally parked in the business district, in front of Elie-Saab''s flagship store.


    The driver opened the car door, An Feng stuffed a few US dollars at random, and two people, Sabo and Goodrich, walked into the shop, they both smiled and shook hands with An Feng.


    "Come in!" Sabo turned sideways gracefully.


    Stepping into the flagship store, spacious, luxurious, and full of artistic sense are the first impressions. It is very appropriate for a brand cultural center that combines fashion and luxury. It is not so much a store as a fashion showcase, where every piece of ready-to-wear and dresses is carefully displayed for customers to appreciate.


    After a quick glance, he went upstairs to the office.


    There were lawyers invited by both parties in the office. Goodrich introduced the lawyers he invited. After the two parties shook hands, they sat down and began to talk about the content of the contract and some details that needed to be explained. It took some time. Ann Feng also asked some doubts.


    After the confirmation is correct, Joanna will sign the agreement as a funder.


    That''s right, it was a gift from An Feng to her.


    After signing the contract, the largest female shareholder shook hands with Saab and opened champagne to wish the beginning of a good cooperation.


    Sabo delivered a speech: "Regard the beautiful lady!"


    Joanna clinks glasses with him.


    "And Mr. An!" Sabo turned to An Feng, "The person in the world who can love his wife so much is an admirable gentleman!"


    An Feng smiled and clinked glasses with him.


    After the celebration ceremony, everyone dispersed. Joanna stayed for a visit, and asked Sabo''s female assistant to measure her accurate body data. Not only simple measurements, but also shoulder width, neck thickness, arm length, and body length below the navel had to be recorded in detail.


    According to the agreement, Sabo had to design a dress specially for Joanna.


    Sabo, who obtained the final data, said: "Madam''s figure is very good, even if she is a catwalk model, there is no problem. Even if the clothes I design are not deliberately adjusted, Madam will definitely feel natural and appropriate when she wears them. Show it off!"


    Joanna smiled when she heard the professional designer''s praise.


    Stay for a while longer, after visiting the store, say goodbye to Sabo, and stay in a local hotel.


    That afternoon, they encountered a fashion event held by the hotel, allowing them to experience the lively scene of swimsuit parties and beauties in bikinis celebrating.


    It��s true that this is an Arab country, and it��s also true that they are locals.


    So the Arab women who covered their whole body and only showed their eyes basically disappeared here. Miss Lebanon is world-famous, and she is a constant winner on the supermodel stage. Beauty pageants and beauty competitions are particularly popular in the local area. In Beirut, women can naturally express themselves boldly.


    The appearance and body of the big Lebanese girl is similar to that of the West, to be precise, it is Turkey. Their enthusiasm and self-confidence are no less than those of Westerners. An Feng also saw them perform a Turkish-style belly button dance... Lebanon and Turkey are definitely two different types in the world.


    After watching the performance, An Feng said: "Those **** and enchanting women in the Arabian palace are definitely the prototypes brought by Turkey."


    Joanna discovered the New World: "So you used to watch this kind of movie."


    An Feng smiled.


    ��


    Due to the arrangement of the plane stay, they only stayed for two days before leaving in a hurry.


    The last time Anfeng asked to set up a charity fund representative office in Hong Kong, it has now been properly handled. But Joanna needs to go back to London first to deal with the details, and then bring representatives to Hong Kong to attend as chairman and officially announce its establishment.


    An Feng also talked about some things with Goodrich by the way.


    With regard to Premier League clubs, Goodrich does not need to prepare materials at all. He can casually say a lot of things that fans are familiar with, but as a professional assistant, his judgment cannot bring personal emotions, so he gives a more fair point of view. Good and bad for each team.


    In the end, he also recommended Liverpool.


    Goodrich said: "After Liverpool changed the boss, there were a few bright spots in the middle, but there was always a feeling of weakness. Because of the team''s owner''s family background and the conservative venture capital, the club will not have much money to buy players. If it continues, it will deplete the family fortune."


    "What about the possibility of acquisition?" An Feng was more concerned about this.


    "It is said that Henry has plans to sell Liverpool, but first, his price is too high, and second, there are still differences, and investors are also hesitating."


    An Feng asked: "How much do you estimate it will cost?"


    Goodrich thought for a while before saying: "About... about 350 million to 420 million pounds. From the perspective of efficiency, no matter how high it is, it is unnecessary. You can buy small teams and use the remaining money to buy more outstanding players. What Liverpool are worth now is the heritage and the fan base."


    Goodrich and Khaled have similar views, and the valuation is also similar. The money in the offshore account can be exchanged for about 820 million pounds, which is still very ample. The remaining 400 million can be used to buy players, or build new stadiums, or invest a few more billions, and start the two at the same time.


    An Feng prefers the new stadium, and he can name the Bida company.


    After much deliberation, I still have to face the simplest question: "You represent me to communicate with the club. If you can get a reasonable price, I will make a move."


    Goodrich nodded: "I will do these jobs well."


    "If it doesn''t work, you can give me a plan with low value, but potential, and a team that can use money to buy players and win good results."


    "Understood." Goodrich said.


    ��


    After chartering the route from London to Hong Kong, Anfeng��s G650 took the members of the foundation and set off.


    The journey took ten hours.


    After the plane landed at Hong Kong International Airport, it was the morning of the local time. They had been flying frequently these days, and they didn��t feel much tired. They focused on high-end enjoyment throughout the whole process, but jet lag was a problem. Joanna yawned again and again An Feng then canceled the afternoon activities.


    Take the welcome car of the hotel and head to Hong Kong Island.


    Due to the small size of the land and the large population, the airport was built far away from the city. It occupies a small island to itself. To get to the city, you have to walk for a while, cross the sea, pass through Kowloon, and then pass through the subsea tunnel before reaching the high-rise building. Towering, overcrowded Hong Kong.


    Didn''t even look at it much, and stayed in a hotel suite after getting off the car to beat the jet lag.


    After a full rest at night, take a stroll around the neighborhood first. Because the location of the hotel is in the bustling central ring, there are shopping malls and hotels around, the city is not big, so walking is no problem. These days I eat a lot and exercise less, so I can just use the time now to walk and digest.


    Joanna picked out a coat, wore jeans and sneakers, went out without makeup and without any jewelry.


    An Feng looked at her and said, "It feels like you look much younger after removing your makeup."


    "I was very young!" She was confident, "You are older than me, so I have to dress up in a mature style to match you!"


    "My fault!" An Feng smiled, and walked hand in hand under the bright lights, "I feel pretty good now, I''m tired of walking on high heels all day long."


    "Beauty has a price." Joanna said, pointing to the front, "Go over there! There are many specialty shops in the old street, I have been here before."


    "Okay." An Feng took her to a famous nostalgic old street in Hong Kong. There is a first-class stone road at the foot, and both sides are crowded with old shops and vendors, selling clothes, small gifts, jewelry, etc. of. Joanna just likes to rummage here and there for fun.


    After walking with her for a certain distance, she looked ahead and said, "There should be an escalator from Central to Mid-Levels. Let''s experience it."


    This is actually nothing special, just the escalator to the mountain, which is more than 800 meters long, is said to be the longest in the world, and there are entrances and exits every certain distance, and Joanna experienced a short distance, considering that there are only escalators up the mountain , You have to walk down the mountain, and then turn back.


    Hong Kong is beautiful at night, full of traffic, colorful pedestrians, and skyscrapers on both sides of the road, shining with colorful lights. The first experience will feel spectacular, but for people like them who have traveled all over the world��s metropolises, they are not very interested. Want to feel the local culture.


    Passing through a commercial building, she looked at a large group of tourists queuing in front of the Gucci brand store, and was a little surprised: "There are still people so late."


    "Going to Paris during peak tourist season is even more spectacular. There are specially equipped shopping guides who can speak Chinese. Some shops will limit the quantity of purchases for each person, and even set a time limit for their stay." An Feng looked at the tourists queuing up, and said that they came from afar without eating or not. Playing, just for shopping, is just looking for guilt.


    "It''s so beautiful." She looked eagerly at the shop window.


    "Please!" An Feng looked at her, thinking that you are a person who enjoys all-round customization, and you still yearn for these brand products?


    "Life always needs something to look forward to." Joanna''s reasoning.


    "Don''t look, it''s not allowed!" An Feng pulled her away, don''t pretend to be pitiful, and let others misunderstand that he doesn''t even want to buy a bag for his wife.

    ��


    If he can understand English, An Feng''s decisive words and his action of pulling his female companion away are really not elegant, but playing the poor Joanna is very interesting.


    "How about I buy it for you?" A voice sounded beside him.


    An Feng and Joanna turned their heads when they heard the sound. A foreigner with black hair and blue eyes was leaning in front of an Audi R8 sports car, looking at Joanna with a smile. Although she has plain makeup and ordinary dress, it is difficult to conceal her temperament and perfect figure. With makeup and a change of clothes, she is no worse than a star.


    "You mean me?" Joanna looked to the side.


    "It''s you, Miss." The foreigner stood up straight and opened the car door, "I''ll take you to a bigger shopping mall and pick out clothes and jewelry for you."


    Joanna covered her mouth and smiled: "You are so confident!"


    An Feng said with a sullen face: "I''m afraid you have found the wrong partner, hippie! She is my woman!"


    The foreigner shrugged: "I''m sorry, I think it''s a pity that such a beautiful lady follows you."


    "Are you looking for trouble?" An Feng was impatient.


    The foreigner ignored him: "Look! Yellow people are so stingy and have no interest in life! Ma''am, I''m serious. Ever since I saw you, I have fallen in love with you!"


    Joanna was overjoyed: "I''m sorry."


    "Please!" The foreigner continued.


    "Go back and use this trick on your mother! Maybe it will start to work! Stupid!" An Feng pulled Joanna away, but the guy followed.


    He shouted behind: "Stop! What did you just say!"


    "You asked for it!" An Feng let go of Joanna''s hand, and stepped forward. Just as she was about to stop him, An Feng''s fist had already hit him in the face.


    Fenmian foreigners seem to be tall and strong, but in fact they have a lot of bluffing elements. They don��t have much flesh on their bodies, and they walk unsteadily. Apart from being a bit big, they can scare ordinary people, but they have little chance of winning against a tough guy like Shang Anfeng. Nothing, just one punch, and he fell to the ground.


    "Oh! Stop!" Joanna stepped forward and grabbed An Feng, who continued to mend his feet.


    The surrounding crowd all looked sideways, some clapped their hands and said hello who were familiar with the whole process, some shook their heads who liked the civilized and legal system, and a few Cantonese-speaking people pointed at An Feng, which seemed to be very dissatisfied with An Feng''s street provocation Behavior also involves the quality of mainlanders.


    The scope of these words is too large, and there are tourists from the mainland around, so they express their dissatisfaction aloud.


    The Cantonese-speaking guys were sharp-tongued, scolded them loudly, and surrounded them, not letting An Feng go, saying that they would wait for the police to come to deal with them, and stretched out their hands to grab An Feng''s sleeve, but As soon as he touched his clothes, his wrist was twisted by a simple grabbing action.


    "Ah! Damn your old mother!" The overconfident young man shouted, An Feng pushed it out casually, and he stepped back a few steps before he could not stand still and fell to the ground.


    Seeing his companion being bullied by Lu Zai, those guys surrounded him, and the police also appeared. The guy on the ground pointed at An Feng and yelled: "He hit someone, catch him!"


    At this time, an uncle with a Chinese face came out from the crowd and spoke for An Feng: "Sir, he is in self-defense!"


    The uncle is obviously also a local, but his quality is much better than these young people. He told the police what happened, and then the police came to An Feng. Just ask in English: "Can you speak English?"


    "Of course." An Feng nodded.


    "You guys, please cooperate with me to go back and deal with it." The policeman said.


    "No problem, I voluntarily cooperate." An Feng said, and then thanked Uncle Hong Kong.


    The matter was not serious, so the police put several people into a police car and sent them to a nearby police station. After getting off the car, An Feng revealed his identity as a diplomat in a low-key manner and claimed that he had immunity. The police didn''t dare to be negligent, so they informed their superiors, who then checked the documents and decided to make the matter trivial.


    In the end, it was a negotiation between An Feng, the foreigner, and a few locals. A few young people are aggressive, talk about quality, break the law, sue you in court, foreigners say that they have been discriminated against... Finally, the police officers with higher status came back, and they were discouraged by a few words.


    "He is a diplomat stationed in China. If he wants to be held accountable, please go to the capital and seek a solution to the international issue with diplomatic incidents!" The police officer bluffed people with a straight face.


    Those Hong Kong people were stunned. They didn��t even know where Tiananmen Square was going to open. China is such a big place, thousands of kilometers away? Diplomatic incident?


    And foreigners have more knowledge, just ask: "Diplomatic immunity?"


    The police officer nodded: "That''s right."


    The foreigner came to An Feng without saying a word...surrendered: "I apologize for my nonsense just now, I hope sir and madam can understand!"


    An Feng was also pregnant. After all, it was just a few quarrels, and the police officers also came forward to mediate. As a peacemaker, there is no need to make things big. The other party didn''t have the mentality to pursue it. It was obvious that an elbow could not twist a thigh. After communicating with each other for a few words, they each dispersed.


    This little thing did not affect An Feng, and it was regarded as a trip to experience the police station in Hong Kong movies.


    ��


    The next day, Joanna took An Feng to eat Chinese food.


    Last night, she looked through the Michelin Red Book and found a rare Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant, so she decided to go there.


    Travel in Hong Kong is very fast, only a few kilometers away. I found the restaurant recommended by the Red Book, which does not accept reservations, and there will be a long queue at the door of the store during busy times, but they came early, and half of the seats in the store were vacant. The layout is simple, more like a tea house, and the diners are mostly locals.


    "A Chinese restaurant that can be included in the collection must be unique." Joanna said after taking a seat.


    "Let me have a look." An Feng picked up the menu, and just after looking at it, she skillfully ordered two servings of Sanxian porridge and special crispy baked barbecued pork buns.


    An Feng also added a few dishes, drank tea and waited for the meal to be served.


    After the porridge came, Joanna took a spoon and said, "I don''t like to eat offal, except for this very smooth and refreshing porridge, which is good for the stomach for breakfast."


    An Feng took a sip and praised: "There is no fishy smell of offal at all, it is tender enough!"


    "Of course, I''m a hand in Hong Kong." She said proudly.


    "Excellent!" An Feng laughed.


    "I''m serious, my father and mother have brought me here many times before, and my mother likes to take us to try the delicious Chinese food." Joanna picked up the char siu buns on the plate skillfully with chopsticks and put them in her mouth While taking a small bite, "So I learned to use chopsticks!"


    An Feng took out a tissue, she took it and wiped her mouth, saying, "I really miss those days."


    "But now that I''m with you, aren''t you happy?" An Feng said.


    "Of course." Joanna''s sad face disappeared, and she stopped talking and continued to enjoy her food. Unfortunately, she didn''t eat much, so she pushed it to him.


    After eating, return to the hotel, change into formal clothes, and follow the members of the foundation to the local representative office.


    The office area is located on the fifteenth floor of an office building. It is not spacious, but for a charitable foundation that is not busy and focuses on the UK, it is good to reserve 20 to 30 people for office work. After it grows and grows, it will expand slowly ��The inauguration ceremony was also very low-key. Joanna made a brief statement announcing the establishment.


    Then the members of the council held a meeting.


    An Feng is also a member of the council, they mainly make plans for the direction of the foundation''s funds.


    An Feng made a practical suggestion: "As a charity for China, I think the current focus is on supporting education. In addition to supporting education, you can also subsidize some college students, and allocate one to two million yuan a year to help some talented people. Difficult students."


    Joanna agrees: ��That��s good advice.��


    "But you have to screen the recipients. It is better to give more funds to those who are in need than to spend on irrelevant people." An Feng said that he met when he was in college. He received poverty subsidies, but his family did not There is no shortage of money, and the laptops and mobile phones they use are all high-end goods.


    A lady from the UK said: "We can pay more attention to publicizing the nature of the foundation to sponsored students, conveying love and ideas, and tracking their performance to judge whether they are good or bad. Those who really know how to be grateful and return are often the ones we need to support and cultivate. s student."


    Others also commented on the operation in China. The foundation is now well funded. According to the charter, 15% to 25% of the profits are spent on charity every year, so the funds can be used in many ways, not only for education but also for children. Health, women''s empowerment and more.


    From the definition of a foundation, the main work of a representative office is charity. Only the headquarters in the UK needs to consider the long-term operation of the foundation, use funds for commercial investment, and obtain profits. So the representative office in Hong Kong can recruit some local people.


    The matter was discussed until noon, and Joanna also completed her duties.


    According to the schedule, they will return to the United States tomorrow, so they will use the afternoon to visit Hong Kong.


    To be honest, Hong Kong is not a livable city, and most tourists come here for shopping. Joanna has no love for things that affect her mood, such as queuing up for shopping, and she is not very interested in playing, so the food is left. She doesn''t eat much, but she is greedy, so she likes to have a bite.


    In the evening, take the ferry to Kowloon to find the target.


    The 484-meter-high ICC building is a landmark in Hong Kong. In addition to gathering all the major banks in the world, it has very good restaurants from various countries on the 102nd floor, and above that is the world''s tallest hotel: the Ritz-Carlton. This time the destination is on the 102nd floor, a Michelin two-star Chinese restaurant.


    I originally wanted to go to the Michelin three-star restaurant on Hong Kong Island, but I had to make a reservation half a month in advance. AmEx��s service here is not omnipotent, so I settled for the next best thing. To be honest, two-star Chinese restaurants are very rare, and at the height of the 102nd floor, you can enjoy a unique night view.


    The environment of the restaurant is relatively elegant, and Joanna also dresses herself up beautifully. Her temperament and aura are naturally not comparable to that of the commoner girl last night. Elegant dining, with occasional playful Chinese words in English, which made some men around An Feng very envious of An Feng''s beauty.


    After dinner, take the elevator to the entrance of the building and wait for a taxi.


    An enchanting woman who got off the elevator with her was also standing by the side of the road. An Feng beckoned to stop Hong Kong, and beside the woman was a BMW 7 Series luxury car.


    She proudly glanced at Joanna, twisted her **** wrapped in a short skirt, opened the car door and entered, and gnawed on her godfather who was a round older than her.


    Joanna smiled: "Honey?"


    An Feng opened the car door for her, and invited her to sit in gracefully. Even if it was an ordinary taxi, it was deduced with a unique gentlemanly demeanor.


    Passers-by saw this and sighed to their friends: "No matter how good a car is, no matter how extravagant a life is, it can''t compare to simple and pure love, which is enviable!"


    While everyone was envious or feeling emotional, a smart girl shook her head: "The Hermes handbag in Fan Guimei''s hand is worth 100,000 Hong Kong paper, you don''t understand!"

 Chapter 265： new trend

    Chapter 265 New Wave


    After more than ten days of world travel, I returned home.


    Comparing the cities he has been to, An Feng still feels that California is comfortable, the days on the sunny beach are very pleasant, and everyone is lazy. According to a survey, the obesity rate in the west coast is higher than in the east because life is too comfortable to work.


    An Feng was also lazy for a while, and then started to do things.


    There are many things about him, and the focus is on superconductors and bionic computers. The results of room temperature superconductors have been analyzed, but there is no suitable method to refine the material, let alone mass production. As for the naturally occurring resources, St. Kitts has not been discovered recently, and there is little hope.


    For the remaining bionic computer, An Feng has to do it himself.


    A certain day in April.


    An Feng got off the helicopter, followed by Xiaobai who had grown in size again. Now he looked a bit mighty, staring at him made people frightened, much stronger than the effect of the black-clothed bodyguard. An Feng thought about bringing a tiger to the street in the future, and see who would dare to approach it?


    It''s just that there are too many regulations on bringing pets to the streets, and pets that are too large will always make people feel unsteady... An Feng greeted and walked forward, Xiaobai obediently followed behind him, like a pet A wagging puppy��if it wags its tail too.


    This time I came to the research center to discuss the details of bionics with Song Wenrui''s group.


    Although An Feng left the information in the server of the research center, it was not detailed enough, so he had to play in person himself. After mentioning some details, their work would be smoother. An Feng attaches great importance to this matter. The principle of bionics is somewhat similar to artificial intelligence.


    came to the door of the laboratory, opened the door and walked in, and several people turned around when they heard the sound��


    "tiger!"


    Song Wenrui instinctively yelled in Chinese, and almost threw the PDA in his hand, and other people who had never seen An Feng''s pet were also frightened.


    It''s hard to imagine this kind of scene. One day the door of the laboratory opened, and a tiger strolling in the courtyard walked in.


    "Relax! Relax!" An Feng pressed his hand and smiled: "Don''t be nervous, it won''t hurt anyone."


    They all looked at this yellow and black guy with lingering fear.


    In order to relieve their nervousness, An Feng pointed to the open space next to him: "Xiao Bai, stay there!"


    Xiao Bai walked towards the position he pointed, sat on the ground with his buttocks, his tail rolled up, his front legs stood upright, and then he yawned lazily.


    "Look, it is very obedient." An Feng said.


    Song Wenrui and the others were amazed. He took a small step forward, and when Xiaobai looked up at him, he took a big step back worriedly and asked, "Sir, is this your child?"


    "Of course, don''t you think the tabby cat is cute?" An Feng went over and rubbed Xiaobai''s head, and it pushed him reluctantly with its claws.


    Seeing Xiaobai''s unwilling and cute look, these people were relieved, and An Feng walked towards them: "Let''s discuss how the bionic consciousness works."


    There was a tiger staring at them at work, and they were a little uncomfortable at first, but as the content deepened, they gradually forgot the existence of this tiger, immersed in asking questions they could not understand, which were easily solved by An Feng, and then Throw a problem, and then solve the process.


    In the past, they would be terrified, but after being surprised more times, they will get used to it. Maybe one day when An Feng''s reaction is no longer so fast, they will be surprised instead... It can be said that the research team who followed him first, It has been "denormalized" in mind.


    Just as many people regard Einstein''s views as the truth, An Feng also has a group of "congregants", and its members feel that following him has benefited a lot.


    An Feng is also used to them. These are all high-achieving students, not stupid. Over the years, they have mastered a lot of knowledge. If they change another group, they have to start from the basics, which is a waste of time. He is very satisfied with the tacit cooperation like now.


    After finishing the affairs of the research center, An Feng returned to his office, and Xiao Bai followed suit.


    "Hi, Julie." An Feng greeted his secretary, "I asked you to buy the car, have you got it off now?"


    "Parked in the parking lot, sir." Julie took a car key from a drawer.


    "It''s troublesome. Take care of it for me." An Feng took the key and asked Xiao Bai to stay here. This time he was doing serious business, not shopping.


    "Okay, I will take good care of it." Julie has seen Xiaobai many times and is familiar with its character, so she is not afraid at all.


    An Feng drove his SUV to Texas last time, and there was no car here in Los Angeles. He thought about it, so he arranged for his secretary to buy a new car. After the last experience, he chose the higher-end Mercedes-Benz G-Class this time, and it is the most suitable top match for his status.


    The elevator came to the parking lot and pressed the car key. A chalk-white SUV rang. An Feng walked towards it. The chalk-white body and carbon black wheels matched well. Adult tigers are fine, but if it is a sports car or an ordinary car, there is definitely not enough space.


    G65-AMG is an SUV, but it is equipped with a 6.0-liter V12 engine, which shows its kingly characteristics. Few SUVs use 12-cylinder engines, and generally 8 cylinders are the main ones. But An Feng now likes domineering cars, kings with both comfort and off-road performance.


    Especially for playing with tigers, I��m sorry for not being domineering.


    The car has been tried in Qatar, start it lightly, listen to the deep roar of the engine, turn the heavy steering wheel, and drive it on the road. The destination of the navigation is set at the headquarters of Beta Company. After running for a while on the rare and empty streets of Los Angeles, it was blocked for a while, and finally arrived at the destination.


    The headquarters of Bida Company is an inconspicuous eight-story building. The first, second and third floors are for commercial use, and the upper part is the area rented by the company. There are not many employees at present, but with the help of the Blueline family, the high-level recruitment Very smooth, are some excellent professional managers.


    An Feng sat with the CEO and chatted.


    The CEO is a German immigrant named Friedrich Schwaben, but it is convenient for English pronunciation. He also uses Fred''s name. He was recommended by Anthony. His listening and speaking skills are very good. As far as the current situation is concerned, the company Being able to be managed in a short period of time in an orderly manner is indeed capable.


    An Feng discussed with him the direction of marketing��he definitely didn��t know how to do it, but it was generally the boss��s decision on what to spend the money on. He hoped to spend money on advertising, so as to win more consumers and create a good reputation under the condition that the effect can be guaranteed.


    An Feng looked at several samples of glass bottles on the table, which were filled with liquid, very beautiful.


    Swaben said: "We have designed the five appearance styles so far, and we are considering using one of them as the standard style for the press conference."


    "Have you chosen?" An Feng saw that the five packages are all beautiful, and they feel like high-end perfume bottles, which match their high-end positioning.


    "No, maybe we need to vote for it." Schwaben said.


    "These five appearances are very beautiful. As a high-end product, it is good to give customers more choices." An Feng said.


    "That''s also under consideration," Schwaben said.


    An Feng nodded, and asked again: "What about the advertisement?"


    "Aiming at its beauty, health and fatigue-relieving effects, we can start with supermodels and celebrities. Supermodel endorsement promotion is similar to beauty cosmetics, while celebrities promote it to more customer groups and increase their influence. ,�� Schwaben said.


    An Feng nodded: "It is suitable for a wide range of people, and multi-channel promotion is a good way."


    An Feng and Shiwaben were talking about the product promotion plan. Shiwaben had a lot of ideas. After he and the company employees tried the beverage, everyone gave a high evaluation. With the technical guarantee of the research center, it is expected that there will be more More than half of consumers will become repeat customers.


    Because it is excellent both in terms of taste and effect. After using it continuously for one or two months and feeling the changes in the body, word of mouth will gradually accumulate. After several large-scale advertising campaigns, An Feng believes that it will sooner or later Capture the hearts of consumers.


    But at present, it is only for high-end consumer groups, because it is a high-concentration version. After the effect comes out and the praise is rave, it will continue to pave the way for the middle and low-end. This is a lucrative bio-drink that is also conducive to improving the physical fitness of all human beings. Promote to the world.


    ��


    A week later, the company held a press conference.


    The press conference was lively and grand, with endorsement supermodels, heavyweight sports stars, and many news media.


    Bida Company used the name of the research center to promote itself vigorously. In fact, it is true that the confidential formula is supplied by the research center, and Beta Company is only responsible for the beverage part, and finally mixes it according to a certain concentration ratio, and then makes this magical beverage.


    Research centers now represent the holy land of medicine. They cure cancer, develop the most effective anticancer drugs, overcome many difficult and miscellaneous diseases in a few years, and have become famous all over the world in just a few years. This time, we cooperated with a beverage company again. Although the span is a bit large, it is worth paying attention to.


    Especially in the speech of the biological department of the research center, it was confirmed that after the beverage had a good effect on the human body, Bi Da was elevated from a pure beverage to a biological beverage at once. A drink that promotes human health?


    This is a very attractive selling point.


    Let the research center to advertise, its professional effect is far more than that of celebrities, and now they are the pinnacle medical institutions in the hearts of everyone. Can the products they develop and recommend are not good? I think they were not so high-profile when they cured cancer!


    This uncharacteristically high-profile has attracted the attention of a large number of people, and then spending money on celebrity endorsements, buying out prime-time TV commercials at high prices, rolling advertisements for popular sports events, naming titles, etc., Bida��s products have not yet been sold. It attracted a group of people first.


    When the first batch of high-end products were launched in anticipation of the public, there was a wave of panic buying.


    According to statistics, most of them are women. In anonymous interviews, many women said that they believed that it was not the advertisement of Bida, but the technology of the research center��especially when they learned that the green weight-loss drug of HG Company was just a "big drug" of the research center. Inconspicuous" after the research and development.


    The first batch of customers bought these exquisite "perfume bottles". After drinking them, they experienced subtle effects. First of all, their fatigue was relieved, they slept very sweetly that night, and they woke up in good spirits the next day. But if you stop halfway, the sense of comfort will be lost, and if you continue to use it, even if it is every now and then, the mental outlook of the whole person will be excellent, and you can feel the vitality of the body is infinite.


    In a short period of time, a new trend has quietly formed.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 266： Taming the horse

    Chapter 266 Horse training


    An Feng didn''t expect that the research center would contribute the most to the publicity.


    Among the current consumer groups, more than half are women, and most of them have used HG''s weight-loss drugs. After obtaining remarkable results, they are full of trust in the research center that can cure cancer. The force is naturally large enough.


    After they experienced the effect, they couldn''t refuse the bio-drink whose price was far lower than their brand-name cosmetics, and orders poured in, forming a trend in a short period of time. Driven by advertisements, it spread in all directions with Los Angeles as the center.


    An Feng is very satisfied with the current effect and response, but his plan is broader. Products that benefit mankind should be promoted to the whole world. Even the club he plans to buy can be promoted on the jersey and on the field, and at the same time, seize the funds Invest and expand to all continents.


    And the team has news.


    Goodrich said to him in the video: "Liverpool does have plans to change hands. After the news spread, the official did not stand up to refute the rumors. I am afraid that there is no consensus internally. Maybe the team owner hopes to get more money. Pack at the last minute."


    An Feng said: "As long as the boss wants to make a move, he will show our price advantage as soon as possible."


    Goodrich said: "This is for sure. In addition to the boss, there are other board members who hold shares. As long as the transaction price advantage is large, they can also play a role in the transaction. However, with Liverpool''s current operating conditions, it is reasonable to ask for a high price. There are not many competitors."


    "You should pay attention to this matter at any time." An Feng said.


    ��


    The busy April has passed.


    Early May was a relaxing start. An Feng had already finished the work, and the next step was to wait for the acceptance results. The investment made a few years ago is about to be completed now. The fastest one may be the racing track. An Feng has seen it a few times with a helicopter. It is in the final stage. I guess it will take another month.


    The work of the racecourse is easier than that of the racetrack. The most complicated thing is the construction of the luxurious stands. As for the track, it is mostly the repeated process of rolling the soil and planting the grass. Available now, in addition to the track, the obstacle course, the riding arena, and the stables have all been completed.


    An Feng has nothing else to do now, Joanna has also completed the course, and the only thing she needs to wait for is graduation, so she called Wang Le and Lisa, who are also interested in equestrianism, and flew to the racecourse in Obisburg together. Be the first to experience the joy of riding.


    The racecourse is very close to the city, and has a dedicated parking lot and apron, which are usually used by Anfeng''s helicopters.


    After the helicopter landed, they headed for the main entrance.


    The main entrance is very grand and spacious, and the height is high enough to allow pickups dragging the mobile stables to drive in and directly reach the luxurious stables inside.


    Wang Le looked left and right: "Green grass, green land, trees and lakes, if it weren''t for a few laps of the track here, I would have thought it was a golf course!"


    It was also the first time for An Feng to stand on the field and watch. He was always in the air before, so he didn��t have a deep feeling.


    After turning around in a circle, I came to the stable.


    A person in charge named Hansen received them and apologized: "I''m really sorry everyone, we are feeding the horses, and there are not enough people."


    "It''s okay, hurry up and make up. Now show us around." An Feng said very understandingly.


    "Come in!" Hansen gestured for them to enter the stable.


    The stables are built next to the track and occupy a wide area. The interior is divided into luxurious compartments with an aisle in the middle. When the weather is hot, there is air conditioning to cool down, and every horse can enjoy showers and massages. The freshest forage is provided every day, and the scientific combination ensures that it absorbs the most balanced nutrition.


    Compared to the spacious and luxurious stables, there are not many current residents, only a dozen or so horses. In addition to the two batches of thoroughbred horses ordered from Qatar, there are also harvests in Germany, four warm-blood horses purchased at the Hannover Horse Auction, two males and two females, each costing an average of 300,000 yuan.


    The one who went to Lower Saxony, Germany to refer to and buy them was the 30-40-year-old Hansen in front of him. He used to be an equestrian coach. He has been involved in equestrian since he was a child. He has 20 years of experience and was specially recommended to come to Ann. Peak''s racetrack is in charge.


    I have seen two batches of purebred Arabian horses before. Joanna is more concerned about the Hanoverian horses that have just arrived a few days ago. They are still in the development stage, and they are very happy to eat pasture. The color is mainly black and black, and the figure is typical. The tall horse is stronger than the Arabian horse next to it.


    "These horses are so beautiful!" Lisa looked at the Hanoverian horses in the single room.


    Joanna is also very satisfied: "The Hannover horses are known as the best warm-blooded horses in the world. In various international equestrian competitions, they are the most photographed, the most popular, and the best performers. Weldon every time At the auction, there will be bids for the best varieties.��


    Hansen looked at Joanna and said approvingly: "It seems that Madam has a lot of research on raising horses. Indeed, these four horses are the best in this auction, and horse lovers like them. To get a horse that has already It��s a blessing, if we weren��t well-funded, we would have missed them.��


    "Are they all just after preliminary training?" Joanna turned to Hansen and asked.


    Hansen nodded: "Yes, in order not to affect the development of the horses, only the most basic tests have been carried out to screen out the ones with the most potential."


    "Understood." Joanna walked in front of the four horses, looking at one of them, a tall and handsome horse with a brown color, "I really like this guy."


    Hansen looked at the horse Joanna had in mind, and introduced: "This is a three-and-a-half-year-old mare. It is very good in appearance. It is 166 cm tall. It is the best overall, but it has a temper and needs to be tamed. After that, it can be used as a riding horse and is currently being prepared."


    "I''ll do it," Joanna said.


    Hansen looked at her to make sure he heard correctly.


    "I know the method." Joanna said confidently, "This is also a key step in communicating with horses and cultivating relationships since childhood, isn''t it?"


    Hansen reminded: "There are many risks in riding a horse that has not been completely tamed."


    "I know." Joanna looked at An Feng again, asking for his opinion.


    An Feng knew that he couldn''t help her, so he agreed: "There is a premise, if you fall, you will hand over the work to a professional horse trainer."


    "No more than twice." She bargained, and An Feng could only nod.


    "Thank you!" Joanna kissed him, and happily changed into a professional riding uniform, black riding boots, white pants and a black riding jacket. After putting on the helmet, he stood in front of everyone in a pretty way. The tailoring of British clothing is very stylish for both men and women.


    Joanna began her horse training work.


    From getting along with a strange horse calmly, to becoming more familiar with each other''s existence, and then carefully putting on the bridle, reining in the water, and buckling the rein... This horse did not show much resistance, but after throwing the saddle When it reached its back, it began to move restlessly.


    Joanna gently stroked its mane with her hand to calm the horse''s emotions. The Hanoverian horse is the best breed of warm-blooded horse, and its temper is much better than that of a warm-blooded horse. After it got used to the weight on its back, Joanna let it walk away from the stable, and An Feng and the others followed.


    Hansen appreciates it: "So far, Madam''s method is correct."


    Joanna walked side by side with the horses for a while, and came to the indoor sand training ground. There is a canopy above the head, high railings all around, and the ground is full of soft sand, which can reduce the probability of horses or riders being injured when training horses. After a few steps to get used to it, Joanna is ready to get on the horse.


    The few of them watched from outside the fence, Hansen said: "Getting on the horse is also one of the difficulties. Many accidents will happen to horses that are not used to it."


    She stood on the left side of the horse, smiled at them, and then lightly raised her foot to step on the stirrup. The distance of one-third was very appropriate. Holding the rein in her hand, she stepped on it with a little force, and quickly turned over and rode on the stirrup. in the saddle. In an instant, it ran wildly in fright.


    "Good start!" Hansen said, staring at the restless running horse in the arena. Joanna rode it upright, holding the rein with both hands to control the frightened horse, but the main purpose was to let it keep running. Let the panicked horse gallop for a few minutes first.


    After it was tired, Joanna scraped its belly with riding boots and continued to make it mad.


    The horse was running and jumping, trying to get rid of the person on its back with large movements. Joanna still controlled it steadily, and even gave body commands to let it continue running when it wanted to give in and stop. Instill in it a subconscious that must be commanded and controlled.


    Hansen nodded approvingly: "Very good!"


    An Feng has also experienced horses resisting riders before. In the short ten seconds, he felt the world turned upside down, like riding a roller coaster, or rolling down a mountain, with unstable center of gravity and chaotic direction. And now Joanna has been sitting on a bumpy horse for ten minutes.


    The technology here is definitely not developed overnight, and everyone admires it.


    Including them, as well as the horse trainer and forage staff of the horse farm, they all gathered around to watch the beautiful woman train the horse. The horse has been resisting the rider on it, running and stopping, turning and jumping sharply, and the sand in the field is splashing, but it can''t get rid of her control no matter what, and the coordination is getting better.


    Everyone feels it''s been done, two more times, and the horse won''t resist Joanna.


    Just when it was getting stable, the horse that was walking to the fence suddenly stopped, its hind legs jumped up, and its whole body was about to hit the fence. Although it missed, Joanna, who was sitting on the saddle, was thrown out �� without falling to the ground, she rolled over to the right side of the horse, wrapping her hands around the horse''s neck.


    An Feng opened his eyes wide. Joanna is currently holding the horse''s neck sideways, but the horse has not stopped, and is still walking fast, snorting, and neighing. The situation is extremely dangerous. If it falls, it will be very dangerous. May be trampled by horseshoes, everyone''s relaxed mood suddenly raised.


    Joanna also knew that she couldn''t let go, hugging the horse''s neck, using her arms and one foot still on the stirrup, trying to move herself back to her original position.


    During the whole process, the horse was running around restlessly. If there was another big jump, she would definitely fall off. But luckily, it also tested the rider''s skills. Most people would choose to let go and fall off the horse, but she relied on herself He just sat back on the saddle again.


    Joanna breathed a sigh of relief, and the people around spontaneously applauded. She pulled the rein to make the horse turn around. After a few minutes of sweating all over, I just cooperated obediently when I was tired.


    "Good job!" Hansen applauded, "Excellent horse training performance!"

 Chapter 267： Authorization complete

    Chapter 267 authorization completed


    It took 20 minutes to subdue the horse, and slowly came to the railing according to her order. Joanna turned and dismounted gracefully, handed the reins to Hansen, took off her hat to greet everyone, and performed a gentleman''s salute. Breaking through the tradition makes her image more vivid.


    "Hey, that''s amazing!" An Feng took her hat. She performed well on horseback, exuding the unique charm of women''s rigidity and softness, and definitely won more praise than male riders. This is why An Feng does not object to her love of equestrianism. The female knight on horseback is eye-catching.


    "I haven''t fallen!" Joanna was proud.


    "The scene just now scared me!" An Feng said, and occasionally Joanna was very stubborn and couldn''t control her.


    "It''s all right!" She smiled slyly.


    After the horse training is over, everyone will choose the horses brought from the vineyard to ride on the new site. Joanna continued to ride "Gina" - this is the name she just took. Gina is a mare, still at a naughty and lively age, and needs to be strengthened.


    An Feng also wanted to try it, but he weighed his weight and learned more before doing it again, otherwise nothing else would happen in the face of Qiao An''s situation. . So in the end he rode a horse from the vineyard.


    It is still Philip''s character towards him. This horse, who has become very familiar with him, has been able to adapt to three equestrian events: dressage, cross-country and obstacle. Besides, if it''s not a professional race, you can''t tell the difference between it and hundreds of thousands of horses, just feel comfortable.


    He rode the horses outside the arena and ran a lap on the inner sand track that had been built. Warm-blooded horses are not good at sprinting on the track. The two pure-blooded Arabs in the stables are professional. They have strong short-distance explosive power. Blood horses have good genes from their ancestors, and they are also popular breeds for winning racehorses.


    In addition to several tracks, the central polo field is a natural free activity area, but it has not been completed yet, and half of it is still under construction. It is necessary to make the land level and standard, and there will be no large areas of potholes after a game. No, stepping on the turf is not like that.


    For several days in a row, everyone played at the racetrack.


    The vineyard is about 60 kilometers away from the racetrack, and it takes 40 minutes to drive a fast car. Now it is a helicopter, and it takes 10 minutes to complete the race, so there is no need to wait in terms of time. Under the guidance of Hansen and Joanna these days, An Feng also started to try to train horses.


    While he was preparing to train the horse, Joanna was already practicing dressage.


    In the eyes of laymen, the dressage training of horses is a bit of horse abuse. The rider holds a dressage whip to spur and control the movement of the horse. Pass the command, and correct it to make various basic movements of fast steps, slow steps, emergency stops, side walks, or turning in circles.


    There are a lot of whipping movements. A stupid horse has to eat a lot of whips a day, but the damage to the horse is basically zero. The dressage whip is different from the traditional whip. It is about 110 cm long. The core is made of carbon fiber and wrapped with nylon wire. The handles are leather or silver.


    Using this kind of whip to tame horses mostly uses touch to convey commands.


    Joanna can use the whip to make Gina run fast, and then stop suddenly to walk slowly, or walk sideways like a crab. As long as it takes a wrong step and gives it a whip, it can basically correct it next time. Joanna has good eyesight, and Gina is smart and a great learner.


    Others, An Feng is at the top due to his frequent rides; Lisa also practiced since she was a child, although she is not frequent, but she is also very good, but Wang Le is currently trying to catch up due to laziness and environmental factors. Everyone has no work, so they spend a lot of time on equestrianism.


    ��


    At the same time, GP also launched their strategy to acquire Maserati. A part of the output of the third workshop will eventually go to whoever owns it, which is very attractive to automakers. Germany''s Volkswagen has obtained a certain batch, and will be used in the development of pure electric vehicles.


    Relying on its strong financial resources, Volkswagen is planning to build a super charging station in Germany, so that every electric car can enjoy the convenience of 15 minutes of fast charging. For European countries with a generally small land area, it is very advantageous to build super charging stations and promote electric vehicles.


    Because of decisive and quick moves, coupled with the huge success of Tesla in recent years, all the car groups in the world are transitioning. Under the inevitable mode of pure electric, and then guarding the rising price and the depletion of traditional gasoline, it is tantamount to "closing the country" in the industry.


    The key to victory lies in the super battery.


    GP company expressed its attitude that mutual benefit cooperation is the key. Fiat Group has many brands, including many in the United States. The development of pure electric vehicles has regional advantages, but it needs to sell one of the brands to GP company to promote cooperation between the two parties. depth.


    If there is no benefit, wouldn��t it be better for GP to go to Mercedes-Benz or BMW?


    So after realizing this, the other party is considering the price.


    It can be said that the current stage of selling or not is over. What the two parties need to consider and negotiate is how much money or what conditions to acquire the brand.


    After the GP company bought Maserati, as the boss, An Feng also indirectly controlled it.


    He can now conceive some excellent motor technologies. Obviously, the zero resistance of superconductors is very worth using. The room temperature superconducting motor has an excellent mechanical energy conversion rate under the condition of no loss of electrical energy, and its power will far exceed the current one. High power fuel engine.


    An Feng has a plan for Maserati to design a mid-engined sports car, use the motor he conceived, use the best battery, like the MC12 back then, participate in GT races, or launch a civilian version of the supercar. Make up for the flagship supercar that the current Maserati sports car lacks.

    When Beta��s products were booming and Anthony was celebrating the success of venture capital, another work of the research center that benefited mankind ended. Volunteer tests of anticancer drugs have achieved excellent results. The drug is also tested by the FDA, and the possibility of passing it is very high.


    Now as long as you surf the Internet, in the health or technology sector, you can see the news that the research center is preparing to authorize the production of anti-cancer drugs. There are countless people guessing which pharmaceutical company can win this honor, and how much the boring people estimate it will cost. Money can only be authorized.


    An Feng read some reports when he was bored. Although the research center did not have any official attitude, there were reports on the Internet that a large company was willing to buy out the license at a high price of tens of billions and was preparing to negotiate with the research center. Stocks have also been on the rise lately.


    Seeing this information, An Feng smiled.


    Not long after, Matthew called: "Let''s discuss business."


    They met in the offices of the research center, and each brought their assistants, lawyers and documents.


    The agreement has been drawn up before, and now it is in the inspection stage, which will take a while. Matthew got itchy hands when he had nothing to do, so he ran to tease the tiger.


    Xiaobai is completely used to the curiosity of human beings, and is usually lazy, except when An Feng trains it, it will burst out like a tiger.


    Matthew touched the flesh on Xiaobai''s body and said, "Its muscles are so developed!"


    "It was accidentally raised like this." An Feng squeezed it. The degree of muscular development of Xiaobai''s special training is naturally stronger than that of wild tigers.


    The only pity is that Xiaobai is a tigress. When An Feng leaned on it to sleep, he always had the feeling of turning his daughter into a man.


    "That''s the only way to be worthy of the name of a tiger!" Matthew said with a smile, "Do you plan to live in Africa for a while next time?"


    "After it turns two years old, it will be very interesting to release the tiger into the African savannah." An Feng said.


    After the inspection, the lawyers of both parties confirmed that it was correct.


    There are two agreements to sign. The first is that An Feng, as the chairman of the research center, authorized the anti-cancer drug to a pharmaceutical company. The agreement lasted for 15 years, and the research center would share 25% of the net profit of the drug every year. He has the power to revoke the authorization in case the pharmaceutical company violates the regulations.


    The second is for a pharmaceutical company. Anfeng transfers 55% of the shares of the pharmaceutical company to a holding company established by the Sinclair family, in exchange for 15% of the shares of Xin''s Energy, 2 billion in cash��the other 1 billion, according to An Feng. Feng''s request is traded through an offshore account and used for overseas projects.


    After the two agreements were signed, An Feng became the second largest shareholder of Sinclair Energy, and the Sinclair family also controlled the pharmaceutical company. It is expected to start operation in the fourth quarter, and a press conference can be held tomorrow to show off to the world ��announced the Company''s authorization to manufacture an anti-cancer drug.


    An Feng and Matthew touched champagne, he said with a smile: "The stocks of some companies are about to fall!"

 Chapter 268： Bulletproof legend

    Chapter 268 The legend of blocking bullets


    Three days after the agreement was signed, the money and share agreement was obtained.


    The US account deposits have increased rapidly, but it is a pity that there are many items that need to be spent this year. The racetrack and the racing track will be delivered in the near future, at least 500 million will be spent, and the cruise ship ordered for two and a half years is expected to be delivered in December this year. Delivered, $1.4 billion needs to be paid.


    The two billion has already been spent... Wait until the next time, he will have a fund that he can freely use, but he also has a large amount of taxes to pay.


    In early May, An Feng went to Austin and planned to stay for a few more days.


    In addition to the two major research and development departments of batteries and chips, GP is also conducting development work in more than a dozen fields, including nanoelectronic components, solar cells, sensors and flexible screens. Due to the nature of GP company as a holding group, each project of GP can be developed into a subsidiary company.


    An Feng encountered a new technology crystallization: flexible screen.


    He sees a demonstration sample in the lab: a mobile phone. In fact, it is a mobile phone of a certain brand that replaces the glass screen, with a 5.5-inch plastic body. Due to the characteristics of graphene, it has good toughness-its screen can be bent at a large angle, or even curled.


    An Feng bent the screen sample, unfolded it, and nodded: "The toughness is good!"


    A technician said: "The sturdiness of the graphene screen is far beyond that of ordinary mobile phones."


    "Can you drop it?" An Feng picked up the phone beside him.


    "Please feel free." The technician is very confident.


    An Feng let go of the phone as soon as he finished speaking. The phone fell to the floor from about chest height, and the back cover fell off. He bent down to pick it up, and the frame was a little paint chipped, but the screen was fine and could be used as usual. He fell a few more times, but the result was the same. He connected to the wireless network and chatted online as usual.


    "Can you hit it with a hammer?" An Feng asked.


    "You can try." The technician said, and his assistant handed over a small hammer for smashing walnuts.


    An Feng took the hammer, put the phone on the table, raised the hammer and dropped it, and hit the center of the screen. When he picked it up, he saw that the place where the hammer was hit was scratched, but it was not broken. It can be used normally after unlocking. Wipe it clean and the display is clear and bright, just like before, amazing phone.


    An Feng tried again with confidence... the screen wasn''t damaged much, but the electronic components were broken.


    The technician was speechless: "Sir, you are pushing too hard."


    An Feng smiled awkwardly: "That''s right, it''s not just graphene used here, right?"


    The technician said: "There is a very small amount of mixed materials to increase the band gap between electrons, mainly so that it does not hinder the operation of logic operations. In addition, if the integrated design of the metal frame is adopted, it will be many times stronger than the current plastic prototype. It won��t rot after a few hits.��


    "Sir, you can look at these, they are all screen samples." The technician handed him the single screen.


    An Feng tried some violent means, hammers, knives, etc., but it took a lot of effort to break it.


    This is naturally attributed to "carbon". As we all know, diamond is composed of carbon atoms, and graphene is also carbon. The arrangement of atoms determines its own firmness. The hardness of its products will far exceed ordinary A glass screen in the sense.


    An Feng suddenly thought of a very old stalk: I picked up a mouse pad on the side of the road today, and I want to match it with a computer. What else is missing?


    Funny... When he held the flexible screen, he thought of making a mobile phone.


    Graphene screens have obvious advantages, coupled with high technology such as batteries and chips, it must be a magic weapon when assembled. It''s just that GP company has too many things to do at present, and chip research and development is the main focus. This year they will release a microprocessor chip, so they haven''t been able to put too much energy on the screen.


    The company has no time, but it doesn''t mean that An Feng is not interested.


    He plans to set up some industries outside of the US...like the UK or China. At present, too many are concentrated in the United States. Although it can increase capital, but with two giants of batteries and chips, the screen or mobile phone is a bit inconspicuous, but it is different in other countries.


    Taking the United Kingdom as an example, although it is still one of the top industrial countries, it cannot be denied that the manufacturing industry in the United Kingdom is facing a continuous downturn, and more people are switching to the service industry. Most of the industry in Europe was concentrated in Germany, and British industry was in decline.


    Coupled with the fierce fighting between Russia and Europe in recent years and the weak economy, the UK is looking forward to injecting fresh blood to stimulate economic growth. On the other hand, it is also a way to increase personal strength. Joanna made a name for herself in the UK, expanded her influence, and gained meritorious service.


    The market for this flexible screen is not small, and there is still hope if a mobile phone is launched.


    And the brand of the mobile phone... The first thing that flashed in An Feng''s mind was the legendary Nokia that can stop bullets. After Nokia''s mobile phone department was acquired by Microsoft several years ago, even the name of the building was changed. Only the "NOKIA" logo reminds people that it has not completely disappeared.


    After changing to a new boss, Nokia mobile phones did not rise from the ashes, and it also dragged down Microsoft. After several waves of layoffs, there is not much left. An Feng is not interested in other things, he just likes the "NOKIA" logo and the impression it gives people as "sturdy and durable".


    The graphene screen can withstand a hammer, and "NOKIA" is very suitable for it.


    But this brand logo is not cheap.


    Taking Microsoft, which acquired Nokia''s equipment and mobile division, they spent a total of more than seven billion, of which about US$5 billion was for equipment and services. The remaining 2.18 billion is patent licensing, giving Microsoft the Lumia and Asha brands, as well as the "Nokia" brand, for a period of ten years.


    Although the value of using the "Nokia" brand has not been announced, after excluding 8,500 design patents, 30,000 utility patents and patent applications for US$2.18 billion, the value of using this brand alone is estimated to be more than 500 million. The good news is that Microsoft''s mobile phone It has been "soft".


    Nokia has become tasteless to Microsoft. In the years since Microsoft acquired it, the mobile phone business has not improved much, but there has been a global layoff. Microsoft uses Nokia''s platform to promote mobile devices, but it will also gradually dilute the impression of "NOKIA" to the outside world, and ultimately make itself profitable.


    Just like Google''s acquisition of Motorola, the latter is done.


    So, the current status of the Nokia brand logo in Microsoft is worthless, do not want to use, tasteless state.


    Using these factors, GP has a dialogue with Microsoft.


    In addition, in order to let the directors of the company understand the process of the matter and An Feng''s thoughts, he also held a meeting.


    Mainly talk about the possible results of the mobile phone business with the help of batteries, microprocessor chips, and flexible screens. The specific technical advantages will be explained by technicians. An Feng expressed his thoughts, hoping to obtain the right to use the five letters of "NOKIA".


    As the absolute controlling shareholder of GP Company, An Feng can decide things with one vote, but the consortium has put in a lot of effort in the development of the company. Without their relationship and influence, the company''s road ahead would still be full of twists and turns. Now the company is acquiring Maserati, and suddenly it is engaged in mobile phones, which is too complicated.


    An Feng finally said: "If the company has financial difficulties, you can let me be the main funder and the company to license the technology."


    After discussion, everyone agreed.


    At present, GP''s capital chain is a little tight. The acquisition of Maserati is expected to cost 4.5 billion US dollars. In addition to business expansion, etc., it has already borrowed 1.5 billion US dollars from American Express. It is still spending money to prepare for the listing of GP Energy next year, and then buy it The worthless brand in the hands of Microsoft is very irrational.


    The result of the final discussion is: GP will contribute about 20% of the capital, and An Feng will be responsible for the rest. He can also find other partners. In the plan for negotiating with Microsoft, GP only needs Nokia''s brand logo and the remaining service life, and nothing else is considered.


    It may cost five to one billion, but it is acceptable to Anfeng, and the company also bears part of it. In terms of the distinctive characteristics of the new technology, it is not impossible, but it is not yet ranked in the more profitable field than GP, ??and he is eager to push it to the front, and it ends up like this.


    ��


    Afterwards, Bazel approached him.


    "There is nothing else, the company has limited funds and can''t take care of multiple aspects, but I am interested in mobile devices. I heard that you are going to set up a company in the UK?" Bazel asked.


    An Feng said: "That''s right, I mainly want to do it in the name of Joanna to expand the scope of influence."


    Bazel knew very early on that he wanted to give Joanna a medal and knighthood, and it was not surprising: "It''s okay. The mobile phone business is not very profitable for GP companies, but it is also an optional item for individual investors. I will For venture capital, and friends in the UK."


    "Really?" An Feng was surprised.


    "If you let investors see the technology just shown, there will be a lot of interest. With GP''s tailor-made batteries and chips, as well as technical support, many people will invest. It''s just... standing at the high level of the company It''s not worth it," Bazel said.


    "I see." An Feng nodded.


    ��


    The establishment of a mobile device company began to be planned.


    But styling and hardware alone are not enough. Referring to Nokia, it is dead on the mobile phone system, so a system with its own characteristics is very important, and then use Microsoft''s WP? Nokia just died on this, with Android? This is somewhat repetitive and spineless.


    Finally, An Feng decided to come in person.


    Design by yourself��Copy the operating system, which is a matter of spending some time as a coder. Encyclopedia Brain has a lot of available projects. Scroll back and find a good one with strong compatibility. In the virtual environment, it can be backward compatible with Android or Apple software, and merge the two.


    It��s like�� a virtual machine. Run the virtual machine on the device to simulate the usage environment of other software. As long as the hardware is strong enough, the virtual machine running under the root system can not only simulate the Android system environment, but also imitate Apple''s or even PC''s Windows system.


    So the concept of software compatibility does not exist.


    The system itself stored on a physical hard disk also has great potential... After all, it is the crystallization of future wisdom.


    After working as a programmer for a few days, I finished writing the mobile phone system without any mistakes. I tried it on the prototype and found it was okay. Then I saved some data and stored it in the company server to give some inspiration to the software development team. Let them be creative.


    The programmers who came into contact with this batch of systems were surprised to find that it is easy to use, highly open, with a super-strong hardware platform as the foundation, and the speed of the mobile phone experience is no less than that of a microcomputer. In addition, there are ultra-thin, anti-fall, and even solar charging technology that can be added later, so the competitiveness is not weak.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 269： cooperate

    Chapter 269 Cooperation


    The mobile phone and system are available, so there is still a shortcoming to consider.


    If the negotiation is successful, the use period of the Nokia brand logo will be six or seven years, which means that a mobile phone company can be established and use the "NOKIA" logo to issue products. Even though Nokia has fallen, it still has a strong brand appeal, so the equipment is good enough.


    Considering factors such as product features and appeal, it would take a lot of time and effort to create a new brand from scratch, but Nokia itself has huge potential customers. out. So he chooses the latter.


    Creativity, technology, and a more flexible system have already covered the characteristics of popular mobile phones. Anfeng has strong confidence in the new mobile phone. It has gathered so many highlights and advantages, and does not require the first place. It squeezes into the top five. right? He felt that the difficulty should not be too great.


    Besides, An Feng mainly seeks fame, not profit.


    It''s like the reason why Qatar once wanted to buy Manchester United at a high price. They value its profitability? No, it''s more about improving their international influence, and adding a little football gene to promote the World Cup. Qatar is also a country that loves football.


    In a short period of time, if the mobile phone An Feng imagined can be put into production, the chance of success is very high, and it will bring a lot of profits. The most important thing is to revive a brand in the land of sunset in the UK! There have been no mobile phones in the UK that deserve the attention of the world. The manufacturing industry in the UK is also on the decline. Now they are busy switching to the service industry or the financial industry.


    If it really happens, as a miracle maker, it will be justified in face.


    One last thing: making money.


    The Nokia brand still has more than six years of right to use it. It seems that the time limit is running out, but how many mobile phone brands can be prosperous for ten years and ten years? Not many. Generally, it is the hottest for a few years, and then takes the opportunity to make money, and finally declines according to natural laws after competitors appear.


    So take advantage of these more than six years, earn as much as you can, and leave when it''s over.


    In terms of Anfeng''s grand strategy, it is only a transitional period now, and more advanced products will appear in the future, from the current battery to the chip, and then to the trendy bio-drink... The scope will expand in all directions, and finally will form a huge Yes, tangled manufacturing empire.


    ��


    An Feng was typing on the computer in the yard with his mind full of ideas.


    Joanna was curious: "What have you typed on the computer recently, are you busy?"


    An Feng revealed something to her: "I have thought of some very good ideas, which will bring many surprises and surprises to the world, and will be more convenient."


    "What is it?" She moved a round-edged stool and sat down in front of him, full of anticipation of digging out secrets.


    An Feng was defeated by her knowledge-seeking eyes, and surrendered: "Well, let me tell you a little bit in advance, I am providing advice on the mobile phone designed by the company."


    "Mobile phone?" Joanna asked.


    "That''s right!" An Feng picked up the sample on the table, "Of course it''s ugly now, but I can tell you that it will be thinner in the future. Due to the development of battery technology and nanoelectronic technology, its circuit board It will be compressed into a small piece, and the battery will be very small."


    "Then." An Feng bent the screen, "Even if it is bent to this extent, or falls from a high altitude, it can still be used normally. If the airtightness is sufficient, put it in water for a while... If the battery is dead, don''t worry, we still have solar charging technology, the energy conversion rate is as high as 50%.��


    "Doesn''t it mean that the phone is out of battery, and it will be in the sun?" Joanna said.


    "Of course, solar cells are also one of GP''s main projects, and they will be used in power generation and aerospace technology in the future." An Feng said.


    "So you decided to invest in the mobile phone industry?" Joanna asked.


    "yes."


    "Have you considered that it will be accepted by consumers?" Joanna asked.


    Bazel''s friends later asked the same question.


    An Feng asked back: "What do you think is the reason for Apple''s acceptance? Fashion? Stability? What about Android phones? Open? Beautiful? Regardless of these reasons, if I say that they can have them, the new system also has them. Because of the system, it has strong compatibility with software, and I will also add technologies that they don��t have, not only in terms of hardware, but also in terms of appearance creativity. If we gather all the features that popular mobile phones should have, Does it have a great chance of becoming a new hit?"


    The other party asked: "Is it really so omnipotent?"


    "Must." An Feng said, if it doesn''t work...he admits it.


    Of course, he is not so arrogant that he thinks that with these characteristics alone, he will break into the top ten in the world tomorrow, the top five chrysanthemums the day after tomorrow, and Apple and Samsung the day after tomorrow. For example, even if it is a super battery, there are still traditional lithium-ion batteries competing with them in the low-end market.


    It is too far to be realistic, based on the fundamentals, he considers acquiring Nokia, using its brand appeal, coupled with the characteristics and performance of graphene, to promote the product, and then seek fame and profit, the transition before the advent of next-generation technology During the period, make a good fortune. Only.


    Bazel''s friend shook hands with An Feng after learning about his thoughts and confidence: "I hope this cooperation can become a benchmark for mobile phones in the new era. Mr. An, I have the same confidence in you as Mr. Sinclair. I have confidence in GP and wish us a happy cooperation!"


    "I will, Mr. Hart." An Feng shook hands with him, "But I am also an investor, and the key to success or failure lies in the management team."


    "I will provide a professional mobile phone design and program development team to participate in the plan." Franson offered his help as a partner.


    "This is very good." An Feng said.


    Franson Hart smiled. He looked like he was in his early fifties, with black hair and blue eyes, and he spoke serious standard English, showing his good education. According to some principles, the friends of local tyrants are also local tyrants, so Bazel''s friends also have a lot of background.


    According to what I learned afterwards, Franson Hart''s family enjoys a certain reputation in the UK and has a lot of influence. They operate businesses ranging from the oil industry to financial investment. They have a strong interest in manufacturing, especially the one specially recommended by Bazel. projects and major business partners.


    Following the three of them to discuss the issue of share distribution, An Feng''s request is not high.


    The mobile phone is a transitional device, and An Feng will not put too much energy into it. He is only responsible for leaving the plan and ideas behind, and then he will be the shopkeeper himself. There are many important things on her body, and the mobile phone is not the most important thing. The starting point is only to seek fame and fortune for Joanna. If she fails, she will sigh at most.


    But the new mobile phone has too many advantages. It is high-tech from the inside to the outside. The hardware and software are all top-notch. The actual experience is very good. In the eyes of investors, with the technical support of GP, this will be a very safe one. investment, regardless of the country in which it is placed.


    ��


    Hart is very capable. He can quickly recruit a group of employees who were originally engaged in mobile phone manufacturing, or recruit employees from other mobile phone manufacturers, such as managers, software engineers, etc., as long as the idea is implemented, the company can start work, and Quickly bring products to market.


    An Feng is happy to see this scene, they do things, and he is responsible for counting the money.


    The focus of his work is still on room temperature superconductors. Synthesizing materials is not easy, and pure natural ones have never appeared again. If it is rare, high-temperature superconductivity can be considered.


    An''s Industry is about to start operation. He is looking forward to and does not want to give up such a huge market. Superconductors are related to the future. Nuclear fusion, engines or quantum computers, their commercial value is far higher than people''s expectations, and they are important to the world. one ring.


    After a period of time in the hot summer, the results of the negotiations between GP and Microsoft came out.


    Microsoft Mobile''s use of the "Nokia" logo has dropped to the lowest point at present, and more of their own products appear, although the sales are not very good... It is confirmed from the side, Microsoft should just do software obediently. Nokia, on the other hand, has been sidelined and rarely mentioned again.


    So it is better to transfer the right to use the logo than to leave it alone.


    The result is that Microsoft paid $350 million plus 5% of the new company''s shares to authorize the right to use the brand, while tens of thousands of mobile phone patents are still in Microsoft''s hands.


    Microsoft sold chicken ribs for 350 million, which is the focus of heated discussions in the technology community.


    And this "taken advantage" is a company that has never been heard of - Berg Information Technology Company. It is registered in Birmingham, England, with a registered capital of one billion US dollars. Another person who broke the news said that GP, a high-tech enterprise, intervened and provided technical support.


    Subsequently, Berg��s official social account confirmed this, and GP provided graphene technical support.


    This has attracted the attention of many people. If someone spends 350 million US dollars to buy the right to use the Nokia logo, it will be discussed for a period of time. GP��s intervention will sublimate the meaning. Now when everyone talks about graphene, The first thing that comes to mind is GP.


    GP''s graphene empire is expanding outward at a terrifying speed. It''s not that other countries have never thought of catching up, but in the face of all-round advantages, they even have problems with large-scale mass production of graphene, and they have no foundation. How to use it to make various carbon products?


    Therefore, the official speech of GP company is a blockbuster. Some people speculate that there will be new technology. The current GP company has not promoted new products for a while. Some people speculate that it is a microprocessor chip, and some people say it is a flash in the pan. flexible screen.


    Berger Company, which is the focus of discussion, is currently under construction in a low-key manner.


    The original company also considered starting with GP, but An Feng vetoed it, and he wanted to keep it for future use.


    According to the current agreement, GP contributed to the negotiations, accounting for 20% of the shares. The largest shareholder is Joanna, who owns 30% of the shares, followed by the investment companies of Bazel and Fronson, each accounting for 22.5%, and then Microsoft. 5%, the company''s professional team is sufficient.


    Anfeng doesn''t have any shares, but it is still controlled by the consortium. Joanna, the company and Bazel''s 72.5% of the right to speak are still here, but he doesn''t care. Whoever is in charge of the company is fine, as long as it can generate profits, take advantage of it. It is enough to make money in these few years.

 Chapter 270： not short of money

    Chapter 270 Not short of money


    In the days when GP and Microsoft were negotiating, there were other things.


    Since the Americans broke the exoskeleton technology, a very sensational thing happened.


    An American freighter passing through the Gulf of Aden was hijacked by pirates. It just so happened that the U.S. fleet was in a hurry to change positions recently, and there was a vacancy in the escort, so they were targeted by international pirates looking at opportunities. Several small kayaks, about ten AK, plus RPG and slippers, done!


    Actually, things are more complicated. In addition to pirates, there are also well-equipped militants. I heard that their target is some cargo in the freighter. The United States did not specify what it is, but the news revealed that the NATO National Rescue Team was repelled, so the pirates are very powerful. .


    The focus of An Feng''s attention is not the life and death of the American freighter, but the special forces dispatched by the US military during the operation.


    They are equipped with exoskeletons.


    Special forces attacked by air and sea, landed on freighters, and fought fiercely with militants when the enemy was outnumbered. In the end, they won the victory without any damage and rescued the hostages... As can be seen from the pictures deliberately released by the official, every All soldiers are equipped with exoskeletons.


    This is undoubtedly the first public appearance of exoskeletons in actual combat, and the effect is remarkable. Far away from ordinary people, soldiers have doubled in terms of weight and speed. Sexual victory.


    So quickly put the exoskeleton into practice, sending out a signal: the technology of the United States is very mature.


    The word associated with all over the world is batch equipment. Since it has been verified in actual combat and the effect is excellent, batch equipment will come sooner or later. Raytheon''s stock has started to rise recently, and there are also rumors that they are about to win an order for exoskeleton equipment from the US government.


    I thought that after the prototype of the exoskeleton appeared, it would take several years to perfect it, but it was only unveiled for a few months, and it was immediately used in anti-terrorism activities, and achieved very satisfactory results. At the same time as it was unbelievable, countries with conditions have more or less stepped up to develop it.


    At this lively moment, another news came out.


    Japan also showed exoskeletons.


    As if following the United States to show off, their exoskeletons have no connection with the U.S. military, and their appearance is not very similar, but they are all the same in basic principles. Among the three cores, both the booster system and the battery are used, and only the chip is used. Self-developed, not agile enough in feedback.


    The Japanese are very proud to claim that they have also mastered the exoskeleton technology, and it was not awarded by the United States, nor purchased from the United States. As if this wasn��t enjoyable enough, they listed more applications of exoskeletons, not only military, but also commercial.


    An Feng confirmed that the lost information finally fell into the hands of the Japanese.


    Now it��s lively. The Americans claim to be ahead of the world in technology for decades, and Japan��s neighbors are even more uncomfortable. South Korea has been unhappy with them since ancient times, and this time it is also a practice. China is the same, especially the emergence of Japanese exoskeletons, which has brought a pressure virtually.


    Although the equipment of individual soldiers can hardly affect the overall situation of the war, and the sinking of the Japanese island is only a matter of several rounds of salvos from the second artillery, but after all, it has not developed to the point where the fish are killed and the net is broken. Although it is very cool to destroy a nation humanely, people all over the world are watching���� Unless Japan commits suicide.


    So the competition is concentrated at a lower level, at least armored tanks and soldiers are required for landing operations on the island, right? The importance of individual soldiers is self-evident. Although it didn''t happen, calculating the combat power and simulating it on the computer will also affect the victory, not to mention it is a future trend.


    Exoskeletons have already appeared in two countries. An Feng feels that the time is ripe, but he still has no good solution. If he goes to send favors by himself, he will definitely be suspected of being an intelligence broker. Besides, after the appearance of exoskeleton technology, the US Congress has agreed that its export will be subject to censorship. Protect.


    After thinking about it, it is easier to deal with it in the UK.


    Several other countries are afraid that they will give it away for free... Anyway, An Feng doesn''t want to be bothered by this trivial matter, so let''s give it away for nothing.


    ��


    In mid-May, An Feng brought Joanna to England.


    There are several purposes this time, convening a shareholder meeting of Berger Company and electing members of the board of directors; secondly, the team. Then quietly donate it to the big country.


    As the second largest city in the UK, Birmingham is an important industrial center in the UK and played an important role in the industrial revolution. However, after the new century, just like the overall decline of the UK, industry is also in decline. Yes, everyone is changing.


    But even so, Birmingham is still an industrial center. The emergence of the new army of British machinery companies has allowed the British to see the dawn of traditional industrial technology, and then the Burger company indicates that someone will develop mobile phone manufacturing on this land. The industry, too, is surprising in their plans.


    The employees of the machinery company are all locals. Perhaps the British in other fields are not good enough, but there are many traditional people with strong roots in the industrial city, and with the technical assistance provided by the robot company, it is easy to flourish. The company''s executives have rich experience and are currently on the right track and developing slowly.


    Especially after the appearance of exoskeletons, the precision power-assistance system used by both Americans and Japanese has become an important way for the company to make a name for itself, and has received orders for medical and industrial machinery. Obviously, they are of high quality and low price, and the technology is very Be favored.


    The focus of An Feng��s visit this time is not the machinery company��theoretically, the machinery company has nothing to do with him, he has no shares, and the company��s shares are all in the robot company, Joanna and the foundation. His purpose is to attend the inauguration ceremony of Berg Company and participate in several publicity receptions.


    For this form of dealing with people from all walks of life, although the environment is elegant and the characters are glamorous, it cannot conceal its essence-worshiping the mountain.


    As shareholders, Franson and Bazel are organizing these cumbersome social occasions and building good relationships with people from all walks of life, such as manufacturers of parts needed to make mobile phones. Obviously, making mobile phones is not the business of one company, so they have to negotiate cooperation... In addition There are also mayors, councilors or trade union representatives, etc., these people will be present. As a major shareholder, Joanna naturally had to make an appearance, so she looked familiar.


    An Feng played a supporting role in a low-key manner, basically accompanying her.


    Joanna handles this kind of situation very well. She is a prospective master''s student in business, and her business ability is a few blocks better than An Feng''s. She just keeps a low profile as the boss''s wife and doesn''t care about things. There are many masters, but she is just a novice with a high degree of education.


    It is different now, she is the major shareholder, plus the interim chairman.


    After chatting with several suppliers introduced by Bazel, she was very proud, and the business list was basically confirmed. Among them was the important metal case of the mobile phone. Berger could not do this kind of thing by itself. Orders to other suppliers, available in bulk.


    After taking a few sips of wine, Joanna was immersed in the joy of success: "Do you think I am qualified to be a boss?"


    "It''s not bad." An Feng said, probably because she was bored. After studying for so many years, she finally had a platform to show her style.


    "With you here, the chances are higher." She said.


    "Why?" An Feng asked.


    "As the chairman, there must be a bodyguard who is unsmiling and close to protect." She said with a smile, "How is it, dear?"


    An Feng shook his head and smiled, when Franson came over.


    "Mr. An, I have something to discuss with you." Franson asked inquiringly.


    "Please speak." An Feng nodded.


    "There are two people from BAE Systems here, and they want to talk to you about something. Are you interested?" Franson asked, "They learned that you are here through my friend. If you don''t want to be If it bothers you, I can have someone ask them to leave."


    "BAE system?" An Feng didn''t understand.


    Franson explained: "BAE Systems is the largest arms dealer in the UK, and it is also one of the top in the world. It is a huge enterprise, covering everything from military and civilian aircraft to original weapons, missiles, and military machinery. In Both Europe and the Americas have opened sales markets."


    An Feng didn''t know them, but nodded: "I want to know them too."


    "I''ll introduce you to you." Franson left with a smile, and soon brought two guys in suits and leather shoes, and introduced them to each other.


    Among them, a middle-aged man named Smith shook hands with An Feng: "Mr. An, it''s a pleasure to meet you. We have been looking for opportunities to chat with you, but unfortunately you don''t often appear in the UK, so you can only rely on friends to set up a line. I''m here to talk to you about some business."


    "What is it specifically?" An Feng felt that this person was quite polite.


    Franson glanced at them and said goodbye: "Talk first, I''ll do other things."


    Smith looked at An Feng and Joanna, and said, "Sir and Madam should be the actual controllers of the British Machinery and Power Company, right?"


    "Yes, publicly." An Feng said.


    "We don''t mean to offend." Smith smiled, "I just want to further cooperate with you on the miniaturized booster system, and develop you into a supplier of parts and components for military projects. In addition, we will also give you Lots of orders for machinery."


    An Feng looked at him: "Do you want to order parts similar to Raytheon?"


    "Yes." Smith didn''t beat around the bush, "BAE Systems intends to develop mechanical exoskeletons, and contract the construction of individual equipment in the UK. We want to cooperate with your company. As far as I know, exoskeletons first appeared in machinery companies. Shareholders, robot companies."


    An Feng said: "But our secrets were stolen, and then the research and development of exoskeletons was stopped. The United States has now imposed export restrictions on this aspect."


    Smith threw out the price tag: "Commodity is prohibited from exporting, but talents will not be restricted. It can be said that we have a government background, can achieve enough confidentiality in cooperation, will not leak privacy, and are well paid. We only need to sign a private agreement The secret agreement below will do.��


    An Feng smiled: "You know what? I''m not short of money."


    Smith has also investigated An Feng before, and the super rich will naturally not be short of this money, and then he followed suit: "Mrs. An is a British citizen, and her family has made great contributions to the country in history. I don''t think she will To see their country weaken."


    "Please don''t use me to influence my husband''s decision, Mr. Smith." Joanna interrupted him with a serious tone.


    "I''m sorry, ma''am!" Smith said, "if you think patriotism deserves an apology!"


    Joanna''s complexion was not good, An Feng said: "Sir, you didn''t understand me, I said I am not short of money."


    Smith thought for a while, he is a smart person, and his life is nothing more than making a name for himself. If there is no shortage of money, there is a lack of fame. Mrs. An is obviously from aristocratic background, but married an ordinary person... Smith said knowingly: "Mr. An is also a citizen of the Commonwealth, and can be awarded medals and titles."


    "Sorry, I personally don''t value titles." An Feng shook his head, "Cooperation is possible, but for the ladies who make contributions..."


    Smith hits the nail on the head: "I get it, but it''s easier."

 Chapter 274： things are not good

    Chapter 274 Things are not good


    Guri disappeared inexplicably.


    His reason to the company management: need to provide private security consulting services to the boss for a period of time. So he left his position to the assistant, paid off the debts he once owed to his colleagues for eating, drinking and having fun, took away the passports of the Russian gangsters, and left the United States in a low-key manner.


    After listening, An Feng asked, "He didn''t tell anyone why he left?"


    Jeff said: "As far as I know, Mars, who has the best relationship with him, didn''t know either. He also thought that Gu Li was here to take care of your boss''s security work."


    "Try to contact him." An Feng said.


    "I''m doing it." Jeff''s movements have always been very fast. Although they are enemies, they seem to be rivals and cherish each other.


    The headquarters contacted Guli through email, social account, etc. according to Guli''s personal information, but nothing happened. There are many doubts. So far, Guli has not done anything to be sorry for the company. Instead, he is promoting its construction, so there is no need to avoid them.


    Jeff found Mars and asked, "Has he behaved abnormally in recent months?"


    Mars thought: "It feels the same as usual...About a month ago, we celebrated the task of capturing the jewel thief. Every team member who participated in the operation was rewarded. Everyone went to the bar to celebrate, and Gu Li also went, but he After answering a phone call, I left."


    "According to his personality, he would not refuse the carnival celebration plus vodka. Looking back now, I found that his face was not very good when he left. In the following period of time, I had a lot of tasks, and I didn''t go out to celebrate with him again Well, just forget about that."


    Jeff speculated: "It should have happened to him at that time."


    After An Feng learned of these preliminary inferences, he still didn''t understand why he left without a sound. There are also some colleagues in Aegis Security who are concerned about his movements. Guli is very popular, has made a lot of contributions to Aegis Security, and maintains a good relationship with most people.


    Even Jeff, who has always been at odds with him, suggested: "As Guli is a prestigious leader of the company, I think we should care about his movements."


    "I will, he is also my friend." An Feng said.


    A friend is in trouble, and he can''t stand by. But the problem is that although everyone has a close relationship with Guli, their understanding is limited to the United States, and no one knows about Russia''s experience. An Feng handed over the task to Jeff. He has a strong tracking and investigation ability and can find the key from the details.


    A day later, Jeff''s team found a clue.


    Jeff said to An Feng: "We recovered some shredded data from his laptop hard drive and lost a lot, but we extracted a few emails, which were from Russia. We chose the ones with the most frequent exchanges and tried to contact the mailboxes. Master, mention him cautiously."


    "Just do it." An Feng said.


    They sent a security officer from the company who was also of Russian origin to contact the other party with some vague words.


    Soon, the other party got a reply, the content was very simple: Are you friends of Gu Li?


    Jeff gave a confirmed answer here.


    The other party: How can I trust you?


    Mars provides some of Guli''s living habits, preferences and ways of speaking.


    After being edited in Russian by a Russian colleague, it was passed on, but there was no response for a long time. Just when they thought the answer was wrong or the other party didn''t believe it, the reply came: it is not convenient to use the Internet.


    As long as there are clues, things will be easy to handle. For security employees whose nature is very similar to agents, they are very familiar with confidential communications and passwords.


    Jeff reported the matter to An Feng: "The other party is said to be a friend of Gu Li. He has encountered a serious incident. He can''t disclose too much information when the network may be monitored, but he asks us to send someone to talk to him. They met in Moscow, Russia."


    "What about the time?" An Feng asked, Americans naturally need a visa to go to Russia.


    "Two days later." Jeff said, "Don''t worry about visas. We can find employees who have just been to Russia, or use technical means."


    "Those people are dead, but the passports are still alive?" An Feng asked.


    "To a certain extent, we can use his identity to pay for the necessary annual expenses of the passport owner, medical insurance, and create the illusion that he is still alive." Jeff said, "This is mostly used for emergencies, although the law does not allow it, but That��s what the industry generally does.��


    "Okay, let''s do it." An Feng said.


    ��


    After being selected by the company and compared with makeup, two Russian-speaking employees were sent to set off with Russian passports similar to theirs, and their destination was Moscow. There are many variables in this trip. The other party knows their movements, but they cannot confirm the identity of the other party.


    In Russia, a territory that has a certain degree of hostility to the United States, Americans are not a good word. Due to sanctions against Russia in recent years, Russia has become very anti-American. If they are found to use fake passports, they will definitely be banned by the FSB. (Federal Security Service of Russia) take away.


    But the matter is urgent, and everyone agrees to try it. If it is exposed, the US consulate will send it back.


    While An Feng was paying attention to the progress of the matter, he also had other jobs.


    At present, the trial operation of "Aris" has ended, and other work is ready. The research center will work with GP''s computer experts to use a set of complex genetic equations to calculate the various genetic, mutation and other effects that a person will face. The amount of data is very large, almost unsolvable.


    But since there is a probability, it means there is a possibility of it happening. The use of supercomputers to simulate nuclear reaction processes and extreme climate simulations are successful cases. It is also feasible to use it on humans, but the process is more complicated. The equations summarized by An Feng can now be analyzed by computers.


    If there were supercomputers and comprehensive equations in cancer cell research back then, it would not have taken more than a year at all. The supercomputer can simulate hundreds of billions of times in all directions, and can get the results An Feng needs within ten days. more than a month.


    With everything in place, the human-machine integration project of the research center was officially launched. This time it is estimated that it will take six to eight days to let the computer sum up the differences in cells and genetics between drinking and not drinking genetically modified alcohol in different time periods, and organize them into probabilities for scientific comparison.


    After the task started, An Feng went to check the progress of the team going to Russia.


    There is a bad news: the other party can''t be contacted.


    An Feng asked: "They didn''t show up at the agreed place?"


    Jeff said: "After the two employees arrived at the designated location, they contacted each other through a password, but nothing was found, and it was as calm as water."


    "Could it be testing?" That''s all An Feng could think of.


    "The situation may be more complicated." Jeff thought, "This time our action was too hasty. If we think about it at a deeper level, the other party may not be Guli''s friend."


    An Feng was surprised, he hadn''t thought about it at all.


    Jeff continued to deduce: "The other party may be the person who controls Guli, and we can''t get what we need from him. After we took the initiative to contact him, he led us there. Of course, it may also be Guli''s friend, but when we arrive They''ve had other troubles before."


    Mars said: "The key now is that we can''t support them."


    "I have a way." Jeff said, "Inform the two of them of the inference of the matter first, and then use the middleman here to contact Russia. You can pay the locals to help. Although it is risky, it is better than nothing." It is obviously safer to act alone as a backup."


    An Feng has no objection: "Just do it."


    Everyone immediately divides the work, and asks the relationship to find someone to show their skills. Security companies are also similar to the police, and the relationship with criminal organizations is very delicate. As long as they don''t provoke me, everyone is friends and potential business partners. This time, through the intermediary relationship, let the gang in Moscow take action.


    Just as things were going on tensely, there was an echo from the Moscow Action Team: They were being targeted by unknown guys.


    Jeff immediately asked them to take emergency self-protection measures.


    To a certain extent, self-preservation can be called "oil on the soles of the feet", but the green hills are left without worrying about no firewood. The two Russian-Americans obviously couldn''t compete with the locals, so they ran away immediately... After that, the communication was disconnected. The headquarters couldn''t contact them either, and the situation suddenly became out of control.


    After spending several hours in tension, a message from one of the guys came: the accomplice was arrested and he was on the run.


    Everyone who heard the news had a sense of powerlessness. If the incident happened in the United States, Aegis Security would have the means and ability to intervene, but it would be impossible to change it in Russia, where they are unfamiliar. Jeff urged the organization on the Russian side, and the other party asked for a lot of money.


    "How much?" An Feng asked.


    "They said at least a million dollars," Jeff said.


    "500,000, buy it now." An Feng said.


    Jeff went to contact and came back and said, "They agree, but they have to transfer money to a Swiss bank account immediately."


    "Okay." An Feng said, if he dared to go back on his word, he would pay for the international killers to get them. The latter''s reputation is said to be the highest in the industry.


    After the local gangs in Moscow took the money, they provided protection to the employees of SHIELD and went to negotiate at the same time. Things are also easily resolved. According to the employees who participated in the negotiations, they sent a dozen or so people to chat with him for a few minutes, and then he came to speak.


    It took more than forty minutes before and after, most of which were spent in traffic jams in Moscow. The other party talked behind the back of the guy and got half a million��no wonder they like crimes. Zero cost and high return, work every three to five times, and live a happy life in the future, without worrying about food and clothing.


    The words are far away, the two guys who went to Russia were finally rescued, and they clarified the misunderstanding with each other.


    They are indeed Guli''s friends, but out of caution, they monitored the two guys who went to Russia, and both team members have special agent backgrounds, so they are naturally cautious in their whereabouts. The other party thought they were from the Security Bureau, and the misunderstanding increased If there is a new hatred and old hatred, one of them will be taken away.


    Now that things are sorted out, they have a united front.


    What Guri did in Russia is the truth: he rushed back to Russia from the United States, broke through many obstacles, and carefully planned to kill three people, one of whom was vague in nature and had an official identity, and he shot half of his head with a gun. Now Guri is being taken away by the Russian Federal Security Service.


    "What''s the worst and best case?" An Feng asked.


    Jeff said: "The worst is to be held in secret and enjoy the special treatment of Russian agents every day; the best is for him to confess voluntarily, and he may be able to die quickly."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 275： Remedy

    Chapter 275 Rescue


    An Feng asked the action team members to find out why Gu Li was so tough, but it was too complicated to explain clearly. It has to be traced back to a few years ago, when Guli was working in a private security company, he heard that something happened. After he resigned, he fled Russia overnight and came to the United States.


    At that time, the United States sanctioned Russia the most severely, and the relationship between the two sides was very tense. Therefore, Guli, who ran to the United States with a fake passport, was not pursued. Later on, the scene where An Feng met him in San Francisco happened. Once Guri is deported to Russia, he will face prison time.


    An Feng applied for political asylum for him, got a green card, and he lived a stable life in the United States. Until last month, he got some bad news, which touched his bottom line, so he risked never returning, and went to Russia alone, causing both sides to suffer.


    But he also had backhands, knowing that it would be difficult for him to escape the pursuit of the Security Bureau on this trip. After the action, he took away the confidential documents held by one of the contacts of the Security Bureau and handed them over to the person he trusted the most. Hide it and tell no one, including himself.


    In this way, even if he is forced to confess with drugs, it is impossible to know the specific whereabouts.


    "This is the only way to save life." Jeff said, "As long as he doesn''t say anything, or the Security Bureau is willing to negotiate with him, maybe he can save his life."


    "This guy can really do it!" An Feng had a headache. He guessed that there was a story about Gu Li at the beginning, and specially gave him a job, hoping that he could live a stable life. Unexpectedly, after a few years of peace, bad results still happened. According to inference, there is little hope of Guri''s survival.


    He killed the liaison officer of the Security Bureau and hid the confidential documents. If it were me, it would be strange if I didn''t peel her.


    An Feng sat down and rubbed his head: "How can I find the documents?"


    Jeff said: "The person holding the document once contacted other friends in Shangguli, but suddenly lost contact, and still can''t find the clue. When we replied, they thought we were holding the confidential document, and a misunderstanding occurred. , thinking that the two employees belonged to the Security Bureau."


    "Try to help him." An Feng sighed, the only thing he could do now was wait.


    ��


    Joanna is also concerned about this matter. An Feng said something briefly, without mentioning the deeds of killing three people in a row.


    "Gu Li is not a bad person. I know he looks cold but warm-hearted and polite to people. I didn''t expect this to happen in the end." Joanna said regretfully.


    "Yes." An Feng nodded.


    "Can you do it?" she said expectantly, always thinking that he could do anything.


    "I''ve never been to Russia in my life. What can I do? The local government doesn''t charge money to get rid of crimes." An Feng said helplessly.


    "Maybe there are other ways besides money." Joanna said.


    "Huh?" He looked at Joanna, "You mean another form?"


    "Yes." She nodded.


    "Oh... yes!" An Feng suddenly thought of an idea.


    "What is it?" she pressed.


    "Technology." An Feng said, "The key technologies that the Russians need most, if I use them as bargaining chips, I may be able to negotiate with the other party."


    "You mean... an exoskeleton?" Joanna guessed.


    "Nothing but this." An Feng shrugged.


    ��


    Recent military news frequently mentions individual exoskeletons. The excellent actual combat of the United States is the first wave, and Japan��s breakthrough is the second wave. Following the great powers�� overt or covert efforts to catch up is also the first wave. To be sure, although Russia is not high-profile, it also attaches great importance to the construction of "second-generation soldiers".


    If this important technology is exchanged, it is obviously a bargaining chip in the negotiation.


    Considering that the exoskeleton has made too many mistakes, An Feng plans to find time to send the key secrets to the remaining countries through the Internet. Obviously, it is very appropriate to do this on Russian soil. Even if you use technical means to confuse, you will not be able to find out who did it.


    When An Feng was considering how to implement the whole plan, news finally came that Guli''s mysterious friend had contacted them and the things were still in his hands, but he felt unsafe. After learning of Guli''s predicament , knowing it could save his life, so he wanted to join them.


    They planned how to meet and rendezvous as soon as possible.


    After waiting for seven hours, the news came back again��it was bad news. They are being watched! Three people were captured by Security Service agents, including two Aegis Security employees. They are afraid that they will be treated as American spies, and they will even talk to the US government through diplomatic channels.


    This is really losing his wife and losing his army. Before Guli got out, two employees fell into it.


    The situation was tense, and An Feng set his sights on confidential information.


    "Ask what is in that person''s profile." An Feng said. If there are too many people arrested, it is safe to have two bargaining chips.


    After a short contact, Jeff received several scanned pictures and said to An Feng, "It''s some mechanical drawings."


    An Feng looked at the screen and was taken aback, it turned out to be the design drawing of the exoskeleton!


    I thought that the blueprint of the exoskeleton finally fell into the hands of the Japanese. Where did the Russians get it now? Regardless of the process, it is already certain that Russia is determined to win the exoskeleton, but the meat that is about to be eaten is snatched away, and the contact person is also killed. It is no wonder that it is not popular.


    An Feng sat down, thought quietly for a few minutes, and said to Jeff: "I have a way, but I need someone trustworthy."


    "Specific requirements?" Jeff asked.


    "We have a good relationship with Gu Li, we can keep him a secret, and we must keep this matter a secret," An Feng said.


    "Exclude me, I haven''t developed enough to take risks for the Russians." Although Jeff''s words are a bit cold, they are the most honest approach.


    "I recommend Mars, he has a very good relationship with Guli." Jeff said.


    "I will consider it." An Feng nodded, and Jeff backed out. This matter has nothing to do with him, and he will forget all the details these days.


    ��


    An Feng finally chose Mars, and Harry and Dick, two special service members.


    He needs to go to Russia in person, and the bargaining chip is the exoskeleton, but thinking of dealing with the Security Bureau, he doesn''t feel at ease if he doesn''t bring a few bodyguards.


    Even if Russia has blueprints, the three cores are very difficult. Referring to Raytheon, they bought samples from Anfeng at the beginning, and then ordered products from British Machinery Company and GP Company to complete. A counterexample is naturally just like the incomplete exoskeleton of the Japanese now.


    Considering that people of yellow race obviously cannot get fake Russian passports when going to Russia, so An Feng needs another gold medal��diplomatic immunity.


    The Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis established diplomatic relations with Russia last year, which is the result of attracting small countries. There are usually only a few people in the embassy, ??and there is basically nothing to do for a year. However, as a diplomatic agency, the immunity and privileges of diplomatic personnel are recognized by the world and are an international convention.


    The bigger a country is, the more it pays attention to diplomatic etiquette.


    An Feng rushed to St. Kitts Island and asked Sang Qi for several diplomatic representative identities��temporary ones. This kind of thing will be done quietly after some money is given, and the records will be destroyed secretly afterwards. An Feng has a good reputation, and the officials cooperated tacitly. No one knew about the extra representatives.


    This is also a form of espionage. Taking the United States as an example, there are the most spies in embassies and consulates in China, so go in and catch one! However, they have diplomatic status and enjoy immunity, even if an accident occurs in the country where they are located, they can also be exempted from guilt.


    If the other party is unwilling to make a deal, An Feng will retreat as a diplomat.


    After the identities of the four diplomatic representatives were completed, they contacted the diplomatic embassy in Russia, notified the local government, selected the route, landing place, etc., and let the diplomatic plane land. And revealed that the nature of the visit is private, and there is another thing that the Russian government is interested in.


    ��


    Before the Russian government confronted the United States, the plane departed immediately and flew directly to Moscow.


    When I arrived, it was more than eight o''clock in the evening locally, but the sky in Moscow was still bright. The day would last until nine o''clock, and it would be completely dark until ten o''clock.


    Here we talk about night, which is actually similar to daytime.


    After the plane landed in the special area, the embassy sent a car, which barely accommodated four people, and several large boxes that were not inspected out of diplomatic courtesy, which contained computers, aircraft, bugs and other spy items... An Feng sat In the front row, let three big men squeeze in the back row.


    At night when the sky was bright and the car was driving on the streets of Moscow, An Feng felt that the weather was a bit chilly. The highest temperature during the day was only in his early twenties. Some people on the street were wearing vests and short skirts, and some were also dressed in two-piece suits. It''s a bit like winter in Los Angeles, and it''s comfortable to wear more or less.


    I have never been to Russia, but I have already experienced the names of fighting nations on the Internet, especially the various sturdy Russian drivers, just like Maozi��s rough and careless personality, they naturally do not pay attention to details... But after field experience, Moscow��s On the street, it''s pretty neat.


    As the capital of Russia, Moscow has a long history. The streets are lush with trees and the greenery is very good. The more you drive into the city, the older the surrounding buildings are. Most of them are in the style of Stalin''s period with large bases and high spires. There will be tall buildings.


    The only thing is that most of the cars passing by are dirty, and I feel that they don''t like car washing. Seeing An Feng''s doubts, the driver explained: "In Russia, car prices are similar to those in Europe, but car washing is expensive. Many people would rather have their cars dirty than wash them."


    "No wonder." An Feng understood.


    Continue to drive toward the urban area. The design of Moscow follows the central principle. The administrative center area is at the symmetrical center on its map, and then the ring roads spread out like ripples. The several ring roads radiating from the Kremlin to the surrounding area are all areas with high incidence of traffic jams.


    They''re blocked now.


    There was a traffic jam at 9 o''clock in the evening, but when I looked up, the sky was as bright as day, so the traffic jam was interesting.


    After moving for a while, the road conditions improved slightly, and finally arrived at the local hotel before sunset. Typical boxy Soviet style, with many rooms on each floor. Before coming here, I heard that Moscow has hundreds of rooms on a single floor and a hotel with a corridor of more than 100 meters.


    After staying, Mars used his portable computer to contact the other party, and agreed to meet at the gate of the embassy the next day. As long as they could walk in, Russian agents would not mess around in the embassy, ??not to mention they have immunity. After the transaction is completed, government officials will also be interviewed in the name of the ambassador.


    The plan was very tight. Considering the details, the bodyguards did not bring the real ones, but the rest of the special equipment, just in case. No one can guarantee whether a group of Russian agents will emerge after contacting that group of people. For the sake of prudence, they had to guard against it.

    ��


    I didn''t sleep very well that night. I closed my eyes and felt that the sky was still bright. Just slept for a while, the sun rose early again. I woke up tired, ate a Western-style breakfast of bread and milk, and listened to Mars'' action plan. It''s no different from what was arranged last night. Go to the embassy first.


    Go to the embassy by car, it is said to be an embassy, ??but it is more like an office. Russia is not as generous as China. The embassy in Russia is the fifth floor of a certain building. There are office areas and residential areas. There are guards arranged below, responsible for security work.


    An Feng showed his diplomat ID at the door, and he was released unconditionally.


    Beside the elevator in the lobby on the first floor, I met two guys in black coats, who were easy to recognize.


    Both guys are taller and have light skin. Because of their beards, they can''t tell their age, but they shouldn''t be too old. One of the guys with a red nose reached out to shake his hand and said in very unfamiliar English: "I am Andrey, he is Valentin, a friend of Guli''s."


    "Bruce." An Feng shook hands with them. If they were in the Soviet era, they should be called comrades.


    Andre moved his mouth: "Let''s go ahead, plan..."


    "Let''s speak Russian." An Feng switched to Russian, which surprised everyone.


    "You will say? Great!" Andre breathed a sigh of relief, "We have brought the things, it depends on what you do next."


    "Let''s go in first." An Feng said, walked into the old elevator with them, and creaked to the fifth floor.


    The embassy office on the fifth floor was deserted. The arrival of these people added a bit of popularity. An Feng shook hands with a black man: "I am An, and I am here to deal with some important matters with Russia at the order of Your Excellency the Prime Minister. I hope the ambassador will forgive me."


    "I can understand, Mr. An. If you need help, I will do my best." The ambassador said, they had already greeted them before coming, and the ambassador''s account also had a little more money, so it was easy to talk. After saying this, he left, leaving space for them.


    An Feng turned to Mars and said, "Let''s start."


    Mars nodded, took out the computer he carried with him, sat on the table beside him, and started to get busy.


    Andre took out the USB flash drive and handed it to An Feng: "This is the confidential file. After encryption, we can only extract a small part of the data."


    Mars took the USB flash drive and plugged it into the computer. He was not familiar with it, but there were many decryption programs stored in the notebook. It also used a graphene chip, and its calculation speed was a hundred times faster than that of ordinary computers. Unlock the password and successfully open the U disk.


    "Sir, it''s done." Mars looked up.


    "Let me take a look." An Feng looked at the contents of the USB flash drive and had an idea in his mind.


    At this time, Valentin pressed his ear, muttered a few words, and said to An Feng: "Several agents are eyeing us and ambushing around."


    "Don''t worry, we will not leave the embassy." An Feng said, "Now contact the Security Bureau in the name of the ambassador and tell us that the exoskeleton data is in our hands."


    This trick is very straightforward, but it also works.


    In less than ten minutes, three cars parked downstairs, and one of them came out of a middle-aged, slightly fat guy in a black suit. He was followed by two sharp-eyed agents, and the people who got out of the other two cars dispersed calmly and surrounded the place.


    Security Bureau officials brought two people to the fifth floor.


    An Feng asked them to come in, and introduced himself in Russian: "I am An, the person who took the initiative to contact you is also the developer of the exoskeleton."


    The leading middle-aged man''s expression changed, but he quickly returned to normal. He stretched out his hand to An Feng: "Mr. An, I hope what you said is true."


    "Of course." An Feng pointed to the computer beside him, "Here is the confidential information you need."


    The eyes of the two young agents frequently lingered on the computer and the USB flash drive. Mars, who was sitting in front of the computer, also looked at them vigilantly, and the atmosphere was tense.


    On the contrary, An Feng smiled: "The set of materials you got is similar to the one I sold to Raytheon, but there are no samples or replacement core components. It is just a set of more sophisticated machinery, not a set that can be used. Soldiers easily break through the limit of equipment."


    "What do you want?" the middle-aged man asked.


    "Please sit down!" An Feng asked him to sit down, the middle-aged man did not refuse, and sat aside, An Feng also sat down. The others continued to stare at each other.


    Judging from the performance after the meeting, An Feng is calm and calm, and the general situation is under control. There is no doubt that he has seen the storm, and he has also gained the attention of the middle-aged man.


    An Feng said: "What I want to remind you is that at least one-third of the information you have obtained is missing, and it is a castrated version."


    "How do you prove it." The middle-aged man said.


    "You can let mechanical experts who are engaged in research in this area watch it." An Feng said, "But considering our lack of time, let me show you the video."


    An Feng waved to the bodyguard Harry, and he brought a tablet over.


    An Feng clicked on it a few times, opened a high-definition video, and forwarded it to the middle-aged man: "This is a video of testing the exoskeleton."


    The video is the first batch of Aegis security members who came into contact with the exoskeleton. They are conducting various tests and comparisons, and there is also a comparison of creative improvements. After watching this video, let the middle-aged people compare with the design drawings, even non-professionals can see some differences.


    "If you don''t believe it, you can ask a professional to check it." An Feng added after finishing.


    "I trust you, sir." The middle-aged man said.


    An Feng nodded: "Very well, I just want to tell you that even if you have a complete blueprint, you will face three problems. I think since you can get the information, professional mechanics also know the difficulties. Chips and batteries are nothing. , but the UK will not sell you power assist systems."


    "You have a way?" The middle-aged man guessed.


    "As I said, I am a designer." An Feng emphasized this point.


    "Excuse me," he said, "please continue."


    "I have another alternative method, and I can give you detailed guidance to make the development of exoskeleton faster, and modify the batteries and chips of GP company-the United States certainly does not allow the sale of special batteries and chips, but you can modify them. " An Feng said.


    After listening, the middle-aged man asked, "What about your request?"


    "Leave my friends alone." An Feng clicked on the tablet''s photo album, which contained Guli, two other team members, and a friend of Guli.


    "The requirements are too high." The middle-aged man frowned.


    "I think you are very clear, sir, except for Mr. Korotayev who annoys you, the others have nothing to do with the so-called spies. They just want to find out the whereabouts of their friends. Rotayev has been arrested by the Security Service."


    The middle-aged man smiled: "You have to prove what you said is true and have exchange value."


    "I still have a more complete document here." An Feng took out a mobile hard disk on his body, "I will leave instructions for the professionals you arrange to review and explain the difficulties to them. If I don''t input instructions after three days, The hard drive will be formatted automatically."


    After the middle-aged man heard about An Feng''s plan, his trust increased a bit.


    An Feng looked at him and understood: "Go and inform your superiors, I don''t think you can make such a big decision."


    The middle-aged man snorted, stood up, turned and walked out, but he didn''t leave. He made a few calls with his mobile phone, and finally came back.


    "Someone is being sent," he said.


    Then both sides were silent. An Feng sat indifferently. To be honest, it was risky for him to trade with the Russians, so he added some protective measures. No matter how bad things were, with his status as an embassy and diplomatic representative, the Russians could not Detain him without reason.


    Besides, he is bringing business, not stealing any secrets, Maozi is not stupid.


    Later, more people came, including a few professionals. Without looking at the information, they chatted with An Feng about machinery and exoskeletons with a little arrogance. An Feng knew that they were trying to test him, so he crossed his legs, answered impatiently and despised their skills.


    "Using such a backward method, even if you use synthetic materials, the strength is second-rate, and it is not up to the standard. In addition, please pay attention to the appearance, the cost of the exoskeleton is very high, it can adapt to war, but if you use Russian maintenance, its lifespan will be reduced. half that of other countries."


    Under the love-hate eyes of several military experts, An Feng was convinced by what they said.


    One of the experts recited it and said to the other person in charge: "I''m sure that he is a designer, and no one is so familiar with it except him."


    An Feng glanced at them and asked, "Have you decided?"


    The person in charge said, "We cooperate. I will let four of your friends go and exonerate them, but this is not the first day."


    "No, now it''s a matter of whether I agree or not." An Feng also had conditions, "I won''t agree to your conditions until I see them safe and sound."


    The chief officer thought about it and said, "Okay, I will allow you and a helper to go."


    "I still need a driver to drive." An Feng said.


    "I''m not joking." The other party vetoed.


    ��


    An Feng got into the car of the Security Bureau in a big way, and went to an area in the suburbs that he had never seen or heard of. Drive into another prison.


    After inspection, An Feng took Mars with him.


    It feels different from the secret prison of the intelligence department in the movie. This is just an ordinary prison, and the prisons are not for repeat offenders. Instead, some areas are specially designated for special purposes. Other areas are simple, in this part it becomes complicated and requires multiple checks.


    Finally, I saw Guli in a private room.


    Gu Li was extremely shocked by An Feng''s appearance. He blinked hard a few times, his pale face was filled with disbelief: "I really didn''t expect to meet you."


    "I also feel that I am quite magical." An Feng looked around, "To be honest, I thought I was going to the secret prison under the former KGB building."


    "It is said that it is no longer used, which is a deception." Gu Li said.


    "It''s fun to be beaten, right?" An Feng looked at his swollen eye sockets and exposed skin with interest, covered with old and new scars.


    "It''s okay, I need to add more food to kill me." Gu Li smiled and moved on the narrow chair.


    "I''m here to take you guys away this time." An Feng said.


    "Us?" Gu Li was surprised.


    "I forgot to mention that after you disappeared without a word, everyone missed you very much. They were afraid that you would not get used to life in Russia, so they sent two brothers to form a condolence team, but the locals were too enthusiastic and invited them in. While I was chatting with you, Mars was reminiscing with them."


    Gu Li listened to the silence, looked up and said: "Thank them for me, I really can''t think of other words. I owe everyone this time."


    "Don''t say that, your contract hasn''t expired yet, the boss has to be careful." An Feng said with a smile, "Okay, I''m relieved to see that you are not dead yet."


    After An Feng stood up, Gu Li asked, "What''s the condition?"


    "Guess." An Feng said.

 Chapter 277： Final result

    Chapter 277 Final Results


    It was a rare time to come to Russia, and An Feng was not in a hurry to go back. He briefly talked about the things here with Joanna on the Internet, and it went smoothly. After not letting her worry, he continued to complete the transaction. Under the adoring eyes of several experts, he expressed his miraculous thoughts and creativity.


    These Russian experts have almost mastered it��to be honest, it��s the difficulty that they don��t understand. An Feng spends a few hours explaining it clearly, and then draws a few pictures. Just to be on the safe side, An Feng needs to stay for three days. An Feng couldn''t stay still, so he went to visit Moscow when he had nothing to do.


    After a few days, the task is completed.


    An Feng said casually: "The information brought by your agents is incomplete. There are no key points or hidden places. It is definitely intentional."


    The experts all nodded, An Feng looked at the spy chief who came to inspect and accept: "Where did you get it?"


    The agent chief looked at him, An Feng shrugged, and didn''t expect him to answer, but he suppressed a few words out of his mouth for the first time: "America."


    "I understand." An Feng nodded. Things seemed to be more complicated, but Maozi was not interested in talking about it, and he didn''t need to worry about them.


    "If you think the matter is done, I will leave." An Feng said to them, stretching out his hand, and the experts shook hands with him in a friendly way.


    "Are you considering staying?" an expert issued an invitation, "We can offer you a very high salary."


    "Sorry, I''m not used to the weather here." An Feng refused with a smile, and then reminded gently: "And I''m a diplomat, and I have a lot of things on me."


    "We welcome you at any time." The other party kept the opportunity.


    ��


    The formation of going back changed from escorting by three cars to traveling by a single car.


    "Drive along the route with the most scenery, and I will leave in a few hours. Let me have a taste of the customs of your country." An Feng said.


    The driver proudly agreed, pointing to the steeple church ahead: "That''s Basil''s Cathedral."


    An Feng looked at the strange and beautiful church like a castle in a fairy tale, with towering spires and several onion-shaped church tops on the top, which were colorful and colorful, just like a castle in Disneyland. It would be beautiful at night with some lights, or in winter when the snow is falling.


    "It''s spectacular." An Feng said.


    The driver continued to take them around Moscow.


    Moscow is rich in architectural culture, and the colorful buildings reflect the unique Eastern European style, which is fascinating.


    But it is a country with high tourism costs. Although it is beautiful, the prices are much higher than those in Paris and London. It is also just like the rumors. Behind the glamor, the problem of disparity between the rich and the poor really exists. It can be so rich that the rich travel in Bentleys and Rolls-Royces, or it can be so poor that they are on the same street, a few meters away. Beneath the wall, a ragged **** gets by with a bottle of cheap vodka.


    The car transferred to the airport, and An Feng said goodbye to the driver whose name he still does not know.


    According to the diplomatic VIP route, first return to St. Kitts and Nevis, and then rest in the local area for one night. An Feng also gave the crew a leisurely morning in the scenic area. Take a look at room-temperature superconductors that have made no progress.


    Finally back in California, things are over.


    A few days later, An Feng and Joanna Hospital visited Gu Li. Although he left alive and well, he was weak and wounded, enough for him to lie down.


    Joanna brought him a bouquet of flowers and blessings.


    Seeing that they had something to say, Joanna kindly gave up the space, left first, and went to a nearby casual restaurant for afternoon tea.


    An Feng pulled up a chair and sat down, biting an apple.


    Guri looked at the ceiling silently, and said, "Are you curious about the reason for this?"


    "I have prepared fruits and snacks." An Feng said, "If you don''t want to talk about it, I will finish these things and end the task of the boss visiting the employees."


    Gu Li smiled and spoke eloquently.


    The cause was that a few years ago, Gu Li went abroad for training as an excellent employee, during which a brother with whom he had a very good relationship was shot dead in retaliation. Like Gu Li, he is a senior employee of a security company. During a certain VIP guard, he had friction with someone, and after being found out by the other party, he provoked revenge.


    The assailant was very complicated in nature, and it was a transnational criminal organization. Neither the police nor the security company could deal with it effectively. Afterwards, he could only pay some money according to the regulations, leaving the deceased''s wife and two young children who lost their fathers to live a difficult life. Gu Li got angry and got on the horse himself.


    He gathered several of his accomplices to plan together, and he carried out the assassination and revenge against the organization, and took away their money by means of forced confession and robbery, killed the gangster, and handed over the money to his friend''s wife , Let them spend the years to come without any worries.


    Things were perfect originally, but it was unexpected that there were official people in it.


    The organization belongs to the nature of international intelligence brokers, has ties with Ukrainian civilian armed forces, and is also engaged in some illegal money laundering business. There are outside members of the Security Bureau, half-black and half-white. After knowing the facts, Guli took the blame, fled overseas and came to the United States.


    And the Security Bureau itself also made mistakes, so they didn''t insist on pursuing him to the United States. As long as Gu Li didn''t come back, he would let him go by default. After Gu Li met An Feng, he lived a stable life for a period of time, and later learned by accident that another guy was seriously injured, but he did not die.


    Although he has an official background, the boss has a black background and his purpose is to make money. Back then, Guli caused him a lot of losses. Naturally, he couldn''t swallow this breath, so he targeted his friend''s widow. After being informed of this fact, Guli took a risky action in order to completely eradicate the grass.


    With the help of his friends, he killed the leader and his subordinates, completely breaking the line. At that time, they were trading a stolen confidential document, which finally fell into the hands of Guli. As soon as he changed hands, Guli was caught by the agents of the Security Bureau and tortured to extract the whereabouts of the document.


    An Feng participated in all the subsequent matters.


    After listening to the whole story, I feel like the modern image of "everyone gets angry, blood splatters five steps". Although Guli''s method of handling things is simple, it is also the most effective. In the movie, he is a typical hero, but in the real world, he has to be a criminal who has been through prison.


    An Feng asked: "Are you sure there will be no other accidents this time?"


    Guri shook his head: "Everyone related to that matter has died, it has come to an end completely, and no one can disturb their peaceful life anymore."


    "That''s good, everyone is happy." An Feng said with a smile.


    "Not necessarily." Gu Li looked at An Feng, "You shouldn''t meddle in this matter, this is probably a trap set by the Americans, and you got in."


    "How to say?" An Feng asked.


    Gurley said: "Before that guy died, I used some means to find out that the confidential information was brought from the United States, and you said afterwards that it lacked key designs. I can think that it was deliberately given to Russia by the Americans for the purpose of making it easier for the Russians." Congress is nervous to allocate money to buy more equipment."


    "And your appearance has disrupted the balance deliberately created by the Americans. Maybe according to their thinking, the Russians will take two or three years to complete the manufacturing, but once you intervene, they will complete it in a few months. This effect will be counterproductive. , so that the US advantage is no longer."


    "Won''t the state allocate more funds?" An Feng said.


    ��Only when they loosen and tighten, feel threatened and stay ahead, will they readily pay for it. If they are too nervous, they will purchase stronger ones.��


    "It makes sense." An Feng said, "Then I really appeared in the wrong place at the wrong time."


    ��From now on, you have to be careful about your every move, especially in public places, and also be careful in your personal communications.�� Gu Li said.


    "It''s not that bad." An Feng said.


    "You always think of the United States too beautifully, and when something happens and a few agents in black suits come to you, you will regret it." Gu Li said, "No, I will be in charge of you after I leave the hospital in a few days." A privacy plan for a period of time, specifying a set of security policies for you."


    An Feng did not reject his offer this time.


    Because during the time in Russia, he also pushed the boat along the way. After multiple encryptions, he leaked the information of the exoskeleton, and the target was the remaining China and France. According to the probability equation, checks and balances can reduce the probability��if the data is valued.


    An Feng hopes that there are no pig teammates in it.


    ��


    In the days before the results of the research center came out, there were more than two bodyguards around An Feng, and sometimes there were five or six bodyguards, but there was no problem, but Gu Li used him to conduct experiments and design a high-level anti-eavesdropping system. Anti-tracking security solution, very professional.


    In addition to these, the research center announced the results under much anticipation.


    This time, the research center did not give any conclusions. They did not say "good or bad", but only presented data for everyone to judge for themselves. According to seven consecutive days, 24 hours of non-stop operation, more than 6 trillion calculations, extended to the next few decades, list various possibilities, compare the probability of disease and health, drinking this genetically modified wine and not drinking For comparison, in an ideal state that is not affected by other factors, the difference between the two situations must be seen to four decimal places, and the research center will not comment.


    But everyone knows that this means that there is not much difference.


    Let��s not talk about how many people can recognize the results of scientific computing. This time, the research center and GP company have succeeded. It represents the practical application of supercomputers in the field of biology, and also represents the low energy consumption and high-performance computers of GP company. , the last is An''s Winery.


    According to the Internet survey, about 70% of people believe in the results of this scientific calculation.


    Also, 30% of the interviewees expressed neutrality or opposition. Unfortunately, they could not find a reason to refute the complex set of comprehensive algorithms, or point out the errors in the computer. According to the usual practice, any scientific conclusion is correct before it is found to be wrong.


    So this is why a lot of people believe it.


    After the results came out, An''s Winery held a new wine launch conference, which was more grand and lively this time, but the winery announced that it would only be available in small batches, and they might store it for a few years, or digest it through internal channels. It''s nothing at first, so if you don''t sell it, you can find another place, but its top taste makes people intoxicated. After tasting, the lingering fragrance lingers on the tip of the tongue, as if opening up a new field and sublimating emotions to a new level.


    The winery released a limited edition of 1,000 cases of wine, which were sold out in a short period of time.


    The three shareholders all congratulated this grand occasion, and then decided to expand the planting area of ??genetically modified plants from the original ten acres to thirty. The sweet spot for top wine.

 Chapter 278： was taken away

    Chapter 278 was taken away


    Due to the authoritative results issued by the research center, the winery''s press conference was very successful, and the normal wines also received good orders. However, the orders for genetically modified wines next year are full, and even before the end of the press conference, there is a faint queue. Momentum for the third year, very welcome.


    Knowing that the situation is good, An Feng is relieved.


    Back to the research center, they are definitely the most outstanding this time, followed by the GP company, and then the winery. As the most watched institution, the medical first position has been firmly established. Because the halo of cancer is too strong, the research center''s efforts to overcome other intractable diseases have been weakened.


    For example, some cardiovascular diseases, skin diseases, etc., have been overcome. Drugs are currently being developed and numerous pharmaceutical companies favor them. The reception department with a small number of employees has heavy tasks every day, facing some inquiries, or negotiating the transfer of confidential technologies or patents.


    An Feng''s secretary, Julie, once estimated that if the current twenty-odd technologies were resold, the value would exceed tens of billions of dollars, and the market would be vast. Therefore, the current technology of the research center is very valuable, and more security forces have been invested, and the working environment is typically loose inside and tight outside.


    Now the medical department has announced the next mission: AIDS.


    With the Ares supercomputer and the standard model equations, experts can save 80% of the time. An Feng predicts that by the end of the year, the treatment of AIDS will be successful, and the drug will appear in the second half of the year. At that time, it will become a supporting computer to calculate the accuracy rate. ironclad evidence.


    In mid-June, Joanna prepares for her graduation ceremony.


    A few days before graduation, An Feng received a call from Bombardier executive Bob, informing him that the Global 8000 business jet ordered two years ago could be delivered.


    The flight from California to Arizona is a short distance. An Feng took his Cessna business jet and traveled nearly 1,000 kilometers in one hour, twice as fast as civil aviation. After landing in Tucson, I met with the account manager who came to pick me up, and saw my long-awaited plane by the runway.


    Pure and immaculate white fuselage, golden tail shining in the sun, walking along the gangway into the plane, it feels slightly narrower than his G650ER, but it can be ignored. Stepping on the soft wool carpet under your feet, you come to the office area, which can accommodate 8 people in the mode of sitting in pairs.


    Further back is the middle area, where there is a four-seater sofa and a fixed small table. Opposite the table is a multimedia entertainment area, a bar counter and a small kitchen; further inside, stepping up a step, is to overcome the fatigue of long-distance travel The best artifact - a big fluffy bed.


    The right side of the bed is next to the cabin, leaving only the passage on the left side. In fact, it is raised up and has to go up two steps. Therefore, the bottom of the bed is converted into a storage room to make more effective use of space. Opposite the bed is a dark brown teak cabinet with vases on both sides and an LCD TV hanging above the cabinet.


    The cabinet is also very practical, with a built-in refrigerator for some beverages and wine on the other side, complete with a beautiful set of crystal glasses. An Feng turned around and lay down on the beige bed. The width and length were suitable for two adults and a child.


    Put your arms on your pillow, looking at the deep starry sky that was specially designed above your head, close the electric curtains in the cabin, the room is darkened, turn on the bedside switch, and the top of your head suddenly becomes a bright and twinkling starry sky. These ideas are similar to Rolls-Royce''s starry sky roof, which is easy to hypnotize.


    Stretch your limbs comfortably. With this bed for long-distance travel, you don��t have to worry about being tired. In the past, when you sat on the G650, although there were luxurious seats and sofas, the feeling is different. Even if you lie on the sofa, you can��t move your limbs freely. , and now a few rolls will do.


    "Sir, what do you think?" the account manager asked with a smile, but you don''t have to think about it, you can tell from the satisfied look and smile on An Feng''s face.


    "Very good!" An Feng nodded in satisfaction, "I will use the G650 for flying within the United States in the future, and it is better for intercontinental flights. Although it is slower, it is comfortable!"


    "Our company is thinking about this." The account manager boasted, and he didn''t want the G650 to be able to install a bed as long as he wanted it.


    The most powerful part of the Global 8000 is of course the range. It can fly 14,600 kilometers at Mach 0.90 with 8 people, and with two people, 15,000 kilometers is no problem. Slow down and fly in fuel-saving mode, and the range can reach 1.6, but Some devices have to be turned off on the plane, don''t think about it.


    Compared to the G650, it''s a bit slower, but it makes up for it in comfort.


    An Feng was very satisfied with the luxury and comfort of the plane. While waiting for the transfer, he called Joanna and told her about the actual experience.


    Chatted with her about the plane, and at the same time transferred the $70 million account, and the plane was in hand.


    ��


    A few days later, An Feng and Joanna''s family attended the graduation ceremony together.


    The last time An Feng attended Joanna''s graduation ceremony in Berkeley was exactly two years ago. Time flies, he had just established a relationship with her as a boyfriend and girlfriend at that time, and now it is about to usher in the second anniversary of their marriage before he knows it. What remains unchanged is that she is still youthful and lively, with endless charm.


    Frank and Kelly took Andy to participate. Parents had proud smiles on their faces. The brat was talking a lot and had many questions as usual. An Feng learned to be smart. He wore a long-sleeved shirt and brought a book. , since the business school is held in an amphitheater, this thing shades!


    But Gu Li was caught off guard. Agent men naturally needed black suits all-weather, and because they had concealed gun licenses and special industry qualifications, they could hide guns on their bodies and enter sensitive areas like schools. Guri and his men are currently operating around.


    The entrance ceremony began, and the high-achieving students in black robes entered the arena one after another. When Joanna passed by the auditorium, Kelly said proudly: "Look! That''s our daughter!"


    Frank, like other parents, cheered and applauded, An Feng waved to her, and Joanna smiled cutely towards them.


    What impressed me the most was that American students graduated with constant smiles, but the atmosphere in China was lacking. When An Feng graduated, he was not interested in the ceremony at all. Everyone had already packed their bags and was ready to leave. And these Americans were enthusiastic.


    After the graduates entered the arena, American flags were already planted around them, and according to their temperament, they all stood up and sang the national anthem. An Feng still doesn''t know how to sing the national anthem. Anyway, he moved his mouth a few times when others moved his mouth. The ceremony is over. After that, the leader of a water spoke.


    There are also some bright spots. The college invited the president of **** as a guest to give a graduation speech. After graduating from the business school, many graduates will go to Wall Street, and the president will also speak well-spoken words of wisdom and high-quality career tips, even An Feng will benefit.


    But I guess I will forget it tomorrow. He wants to hear these famous quotes. There are many opportunities. He can go to Texas and talk to the CEO of GP, Benjamin Hawley, for a few days. As the most potential company in the world, Hawley must also be invited to give a speech at his alma mater or other places.


    An Feng is interested in the students of Berkeley. He has a lot of companies. At present, An''s Industry, which is seriously short of people, Beida Company, which is also short of people, and GP Electronics, which is short of elites, are all... But think about it, the company''s human resources department He must be smarter than himself, so he can''t think of it.


    After the speech, the main event will come on stage. The graduates will come to the stage to receive their graduation certificates, starting with the doctoral students. The age group here is relatively old, most of them are around 30, but there are also some unnaturally young ones, estimated to be in their twenties; Then there is the master''s student, and Joanna is also very young.


    After the long ceremony, the show ends.


    The graduates posed for pictures in the shade of the surrounding trees and on the lawn. All kinds of normal and funny pictures were taken frequently. Some people were busy preparing for the champagne reception, and some were going to the last fraternity reunion... Looking at the overflowing The smiling Joanna, An Feng gently waved at her.


    She spoke to several companions and walked towards him. At this time, two black Chevrolet Suburbans stopped beside the school road, and a few tall white men in suits got out of the cars and came towards An Feng. Gu Li glanced down, and the surrounding bodyguards surrounded him calmly.


    An Feng also turned his head, those people came to him, the leader showed the ID in his hand, and said coldly: "FBI! Bruce Ann?"


    "It''s me." An Feng nodded.


    "Please come with us and cooperate with some investigations," the person said.


    "Sorry, give me some space, I will go with you in five minutes." An Feng frowned and said, I really didn''t expect something to happen at this juncture.


    The man was about to veto, when several bodyguards of Gu Li stood next to the FBI agent, the buttons of their clothes had been unbuttoned, and the handle of the black pistol was looming. Considering that this is a campus, the impact of violence would be bad, not to mention that An Feng couldn''t leave, so he nodded in agreement.


    Joanna came to An Feng and asked strangely, "What''s going on?"


    An Feng smiled: "Talk to me about something."


    "Is it��" Joanna stopped talking halfway, "Are you going to be okay?"


    "Don''t be nervous." An Feng grabbed her hand, "I''m glad you finally finished your studies. I planned to celebrate with you, but it probably got delayed."


    "It''s okay." She said, looking at the strangers from time to time.


    "Hold one." An Feng hugged her and said in his ear, "Trust me, I will be back soon, don''t worry your parents, I love you."


    "Me too." Joanna hugged him tightly.


    An Feng let go of her, and then explained a few words to Frank, saying that the company was looking for something, and then turned around and followed those people.


    Gu Li also followed, winking, ready to put these people down at any time, but An Feng shook his head. Gu Li asked again: "Is there anything I can do for you?"


    "No, just wait for the news." An Feng said.


    Guli hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Good luck!"


    "Don''t mess around." An Feng reminded him. An agent opened the car door for him, and he sat in, and the agent sat down beside him.


    The two vehicles then left quietly.

 Chapter 279： endanger national security

    Chapter 279 Endangering National Security


    An Feng got into the car, and as soon as he took out his mobile phone, he was taken away by the agent beside him.


    "We need to temporarily restrict your communication." The FBI agent said indifferently, "And other communication tools on your body, please hand them over."


    "I only have one mobile phone." An Feng said, "According to the law, I have the right to notify the lawyer."


    The agent glanced at him and vetoed: "You have the right to ask a lawyer to consult with you during the trial, but you are currently in a special investigation stage. There is evidence that you endanger the national security of the United States. The lawyer can only provide you with consultation and help, and has no right to interfere. Interrogation of major cases."


    They didn''t speak any more, and the car drove towards the airport smoothly.


    An Feng was expressionless, but he was thinking of countermeasures in his heart. He was inevitably nervous when dealing with the FBI for the first time... This time there was no warning, it was too abrupt. If the order was issued by a high-level government, it would be aimed at such an important person as him. character, Anderson would have warned.


    Therefore, there are several possibilities: it was decided internally by the FBI, which is classified as a classified case; or it was dominated by Democratic officials without reference to the opinions of the Republican Party; partisan interest.


    An Feng can only pin his hopes on his own side and let them be smarter.


    Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the airport and stopped in front of a Cessna business jet. Several agents escorted him onto the plane, and he was told that the destination was the FBI branch in Los Angeles. More than an hour later, the plane landed in Los Angeles, and then drove to the local federal government building.


    The branch of the FBI is unremarkable. After several inspections, it feels similar to an ordinary office area.


    On the contrary, the interrogation room is very classic. It is an empty room without windows. There is a lonely table and two chairs in the center. There is a huge single-transparent glass on the wall, and the inside can only be seen clearly from the outside. An Feng raised his head, it was pitch black, but someone must be watching him.


    Soon, two black suits came in and sat down in front of him.


    An Feng looked at them indifferently.


    "I''m Mayer, on your case," one of the agents said, "Do you know why we brought you here?"


    "I don''t know." An Feng shook his head, "Planting? Law enforcement indiscriminately?"


    Another person said sternly: "Don''t play tricks with us! We have enough ways for you to cooperate!"


    An Feng said with a smile: "I''ve seen it in movies. You guys are very good at extorting confessions by torture. Hurry up and turn off the camera, and give me a set."


    Mayer knocked on the table: "You think you''ve gotten into little trouble?"


    "I haven''t committed any illegal acts, so I''m naturally not afraid of you." An Feng looked up at the dark glass, "I have the right to hold you accountable."


    "You are very confident in hiding the evidence." Meyer pointed to the assistant''s file bag, which contained some photos and some paper documents.


    "On the 20th of last month, you took three of your bodyguards to Moscow, Russia. At that time, two of your men were captured by the local security bureau and faced charges of espionage. The skeletal blueprints were the condition for the exchange of four suspects. Afterwards, you gave a reward of about two hundred thousand dollars to several people who participated in the operation, so that they would keep the matter a secret."


    "It''s nonsense! I need evidence and witnesses to confront each other face to face!" An Feng refused to admit it.


    "We''ll give it to you!" Meyer was annoyed at his unbridled attitude.


    "I''m waiting! Let''s see your level of forgery." An Feng said arrogantly. He had known Jeff Clark before. The FBI is good at catching flaws in characters'' expressions, demeanor or language. The best way to deal with them is Permanent silence or detour to fight back, cannot be led away.


    Meyer looked at the arrogant An Feng and continued: "In addition to the appeal case, there is also evidence that you are suspected of participating in illegal cooperation with the British government. You also exchanged the restricted exoskeleton technology for a British defense contractor. cooperation with your business.��


    "This is also a groundless slander." An Feng said, but from the tone and description, he felt that the FBI did not know enough about the British case.


    "So how do you explain your appearance with people from the British BAE company?" Meyer said.


    "Normal business cooperation." An Feng said.


    ��Will normal commercial cooperation be conditional on exoskeleton technology?�� Mayer said.


    "This is just your imagination." An Feng sneered.


    "According to the current evidence and witnesses, it is enough for us to prosecute you!" Meyer said, "So cooperate with me, I just need you to answer, have you gone to England?"


    "That''s right." An Feng said.


    "Have you had contact with anyone from BAE?" he asked.


    "Yes." An Feng nodded.


    "Just after you showed up in the UK and contacted them, BAE has exoskeleton technology. Tell me, how much do you benefit from it?"


    "Haha." An Feng understood their reasoning, "You are trying to induce a confession! I have the right to remain silent until my lawyer appears!"


    "Huh!" Meyer knocked on the table, "According to our monitoring of your series of behaviors, the comprehensive evidence shows that you have endangered the security of the United States. We have the power to arrest you for collusion with the enemy and espionage. With your permanent residency, you lose your right to lawyer defense accordingly!"


    "Please come up with instructions!" An Feng confronted.


    Mayer glared at him, and a minute later, he said, "You''ll regret it!"


    "I''m waiting!" An Feng said.


    Meyer left with his assistant, and the silent interrogation continued.


    ��


    Joanna was flustered watching the FBI take An Feng away, but she remained calm on the surface, and did not show the disorientation of ordinary women after encountering an accident. Images of key people flashed in her mind, and she thought about countermeasures. There was no doubt that An Feng''s political capital was very strong and she could use it.


    At this time, Gu Li came over and motioned her to talk in another place.


    Joanna walked aside with them and asked, "Is it��"


    "Wait!" Gu Li said cautiously, took out an instrument and scanned her body, and unexpectedly took out a small object from the wide cuff of the master''s uniform.


    "Bug!" Gu Li threw it to the ground and crushed it.


    Joanna looked at it in disbelief, then looked up at Gu Li with a questioning look.


    Guri said: "There are no other interference signals now, but things are very bad. It may be the trip to Russia. There are traitors among us."


    "Then what should we do?" Joanna knew that it would be risky for An Feng to do so, but he insisted on going his own way, and now something happened.


    Gurley said: "Don''t worry, there are two things we can do now. The first is for me to find out who leaked the secret between us. The leaker may be the accuser. Second, you look for anyone who can Those who support him have strong political connections."


    "I see." Joanna calmed herself down, "I know who to call."


    Guri nodded: "The more important the person is, the more he can guarantee his safety."


    Joanna said: "We split up, I will communicate with others, you are responsible for the investigation of the leaker, and I will allow any resources that need to be used on the way."


    Guri said: "I need a plane."


    "My plane is parked at a nearby airport." Joanna took out her mobile phone, "I''ll notify the crew members right away, and use it at any time."


    Guri said again: "I will leave two bodyguards for you to handle affairs for you."


    "Okay, you go quickly." Joanna said, and returned to her parents with the bodyguards.


    Kelly asked concerned: "What''s going on, what did those people do just now?"


    "It''s okay, it''s just a routine investigation." Joanna smiled, and she could no longer feel her nervousness. "I need to help him deal with some things. I can''t attend this prom. If you are not in a hurry to go back, you first Go and live in San Rafael."


    "We''re in no hurry, kid." Frank looked at her.


    "I can handle it," Joanna said. "Have a good day, I need to go to work."


    "Trouble remembering that we are still here!" Frank smelled some unusual smells, but it didn''t affect her current emotions too much.


    Joanna nodded, turned and left, and ordered: "Get me a car and drive to the nearby airport."


    "No problem." A bodyguard left.


    Joanna took off her master''s robe, handed it to the bodyguard, and then took out her mobile phone to make a call: "Angela, I need flight service."


    "Ma''am, do you need a flight?" Angela confirmed.


    "Yes, my pilot has other tasks temporarily, you arrange a flight from Berkeley to Los Angeles for me." Joanna glanced at the bodyguard who opened the door.


    The bodyguard said his driving time: "Fifteen minutes to the nearby airport."


    "Leaving in fifteen minutes." Joanna told Angela.


    "The fastest is thirty minutes later." Angela said.


    Joanna''s tone is undeniable: "You buy all the locations for me, and if you can''t, just buy their company! I need to leave in fifteen minutes!"


    "I''ll make arrangements, ma''am," Angela said.


    Joanna got in the car, the bodyguard closed the door, and drove towards the airport, driving at a high speed all the way. In the car, Joanna called Matthew again.


    "Uncle Matthew, are you okay?" Joanna greeted, "I have something to trouble you, are you still in Los Angeles?"


    "Yes, what''s the matter?" Matthew''s voice came.


    Joanna said: "Something happened to Bruce, he was taken away by the FBI. He may be in the Los Angeles branch now, and he needs help."


    "Speak slowly, you mean the FBI?" Matthew''s voice also sounded surprised.


    "Is it convenient for you to talk over there?" Joanna asked.


    "No problem, I use an anti-tapping mobile phone." Matthew said.


    "Okay, there may be some allegations that are not conducive to national security, but there should be no conclusive evidence..." Joanna picked up some key points.


    After hearing this, Matthew said: "I will let the governor and the Department of Justice intervene in this matter first, and participate in the federal investigation. Since the people are still in Los Angeles, I will let them stay in the local area to handle the case. The other thing is very strange , I didn''t get any wind...you should come over."


    "On the way," Joanna said.


    Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped at the airport. Since the flights to Los Angeles were short-distance flights, they were all operated by small companies, mainly minicomputers. After buying all the seats, Joanna directly turned it into a temporary charter flight. airplane. "After full", take off immediately.


    ��


    After four hours of interrogation.


    An Feng had confronted them several times. According to the evidence and deduction of the other party, it is indeed possible to extend the time of the "interview" indefinitely.


    Just as another round of intensive interrogation was in progress to break through the psychological defense line, the door opened.


    Mayer was called out, he looked at the strangers in the corridor, and asked the assistant: "What''s the matter?"


    The assistant looked at several strangers beside him: "They are representatives of the Governor''s Secretariat, the State Department of Justice, and lawyers, and they asked to meet with the suspect."


    Mayer frowned: "This is an FBI project."


    The governor''s secretary has a businesslike expression: "This is California, and I will coordinate with the state law and the governor''s instructions."


    The representative of the state Department of Justice said: "We must maintain state laws and the fairness of state laws to state residents, and provide reasonable supervision and advice."


    Finally, the lawyer representative: "I am the chief representative of Mr. An''s lawyer delegation, responsible for all legal matters related to him."


    Mayer frowned. He still underestimated An Feng''s ability. In just a few hours, the governor, the Ministry of Justice and the legal team all sent people.

 Chapter 280： complicated relationship

    Chapter 280 Complicated Relationships


    According to Chinese thinking, the state government naturally has to cooperate with the federal investigation and will not oppose the "central government", but it is different in the United States. The meaning of State is not only the state, but also the meaning of "country". In fact, the United States of America is a union of fifty "States" with a high degree of autonomy.


    Therefore, in film and television dramas, it often appears that state law enforcement agencies do not care much about the FBI. There is no superior-subordinate relationship between them, and there is even a clear distinction. You only need to do your duty to the state government.


    A more well-behaved state may actively cooperate, but in a tough area like Texas, there are often groups who want to fight for independence. Whether they are worthy or not depends mainly on their mood, unless there is a mandatory order from above. And now, California''s procuratorate has been ordered by the governor not to cooperate, but to supervise the FBI.


    Meyer is aware of the complicated relationship, which will only happen when the person involved is very important and has a close relationship with the governor. According to the law, he has no way to obstruct the state government from enforcing the law, because the incident happened on California land, and the other party insists on intervening , The FBI is helpless.


    Finally, they investigated the case together.


    Now there are six or seven people sitting or standing opposite An Feng, and the atmosphere is much more active. The faces of the two FBI agents are very ugly. When you are concentrating on your work, you must not be happy if someone interferes. But they can''t help it, the other party is not trying to save face now, and is determined to participate in this matter.


    An Feng��s legal representative said: ��I will represent the client to make any remarks that have legal effect.��


    An Feng nodded: "I agree."


    FBI agents were helpless and annoyed. Under the supervision and cooperation of many parties, they sorted out the facts of the case bit by bit, FBI evidence, witnesses, or evidence, and even lawyers wanted to investigate whether the FBI operation had passed the SAC (Advisory Committee) ) for consultation and approval.


    Meyer objected: "It''s not a big deal!"


    Before the lawyer could speak, the representative of the State Department of Justice said: "According to the nature of the matter, the influence of the parties in the local area, and the impact on the government and the economy, etc., all of which are important criteria, the Federal Bureau of Investigation will arrest the parties before ordering the arrest of the parties. , a committee resolution is required."


    The lawyer continued: "I will reserve the right of prosecution for the client!"


    Mayer doesn''t want to argue with these **** anymore. Obviously, the California government is biased towards An Feng. It doesn''t matter if you just say it?


    ��I object to a severely unbalanced review environment!�� Another agent said, ��The local state government seriously affects the judgment of the nature of the matter!��


    The secretary of the governor said: "The matter happened in California. According to the law, the California law enforcement department should also participate in this matter, and the governor will convene a meeting as soon as possible to make this matter heard in California. Before the provisions of the law are issued, when the personnel cannot leave California!"


    Mayer shook his head, thinking about leaving California and going to Washington to find asylum is impossible.


    The lawyer ignored his mood and continued: "When you issued some kind of ''verbal inference without practical effect'', which you called ''evidence'', my client was deeply suspicious and asked you to issue Evidence in this regard that is tangible and consistent with the letter of the law."


    "We have ample evidence!" Mayer said.


    The Ministry of Justice and the lawyer looked at him: "Please show it!"


    Meyer was disturbed by them, and had no choice but to produce evidence. They watched casually, and the lawyer memorized the key points carefully, and then everyone continued to dig out every step and every detail of the interrogation, including An Feng accused the other party of "racial discrimination".


    "Nothing at all!" Meyer said firmly, this big hat can''t fall on his head.


    The lawyer said: "Following my client''s description, during the interrogation, you once mentioned the words ''Chinese spy''. There is contempt for race in the context. I think it can constitute a potential racial discrimination. Hint. I hope Mr. Meyer will refrain."


    Mayer gritted his teeth, he is a lawyer, he will hate him in this life and the next life!


    ��


    Information from Matthew and Joanna in Los Angeles.


    According to the evidence collected by the lawyer, the biggest threat to An Feng is the tainted witness. The oral evidence of the witness shows that An Feng participated in a transaction conducted by the Russian Federal Security Service, which threatened the national security of the United States. The rest are some monitoring and inference, which is secondary.


    Matthew heard this and asked, "Have you seen the witness?"


    Hardy Locke shook his head: "The witness is currently under protection, which is in our favor. He is currently unwilling to appear in court and face the jury, so to a certain extent, his oral statement cannot be used as an effective accusation against Mr. An. Evidence. I think that''s why the FBI insisted on interrogating."


    Matthew said: "As long as he doesn''t appear in court, things still have room for maneuver."


    Hardy nodded: "Yes, so you need to find a way here. In addition, most of the surveillance evidence is inferred. If you really want to appeal on this point, as long as you publicize the FBI''s illegal surveillance, the jury will reject it. , there is no way to bring a public prosecution to the court.��


    After Matthew figured it out, he speculated: "The monitoring may be the cooperation of multiple agencies, the FBI or the NSA, and the one who can issue this order must be a high-level person. As far as the Republican Party is concerned, we are partisan supporters, and the probability of it happening is very high." Big, it should be on the Democratic side.��


    "What''s the point now?" Joanna asked.


    Matthew thought for a while and said: "I''ll help him deal with the trouble of monitoring evidence. It''s based on inference, but can I need the help of some influential politicians. If you have time, arrange for someone to find out Witness, find a way to make him change or shut up."


    Joanna said: "I know that the tainted witness is in the team going to Russia together."


    "You can start here." Matthew nodded, and then looked at Joanna, "Tell me the truth, did he do it?"


    "I''m sure he won''t do that." Joanna replied affirmatively.


    Matthew said: "You just say so."


    ��


    They acted separately, Matthew went to high-level officials, and Joanna was responsible for finding witnesses.


    She flew to the next stop with bodyguards: Phoenix.


    Aegis Security is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. It takes more than an hour to fly from Los Angeles. This time, Matthew lent Joanna his private jet and arrived in Phoenix faster. Gu Li sent a car to pick her up and returned to the headquarters of SHIELD Security.


    After she sat down, the female assistant brought a cup of black tea with sugar.


    Joanna said directly: "According to the lawyer, there is something wrong with the group of people who went to Russia. You have to find them out and make them drop the charges."


    "They are on vacation. After I came back, I contacted Mars and Harry as quickly as possible. Based on my impression and recent actions, their suspicion is very small, because they were the most active when I had an accident. The other three I There is no guarantee, and we are still unable to contact him," Guli said.


    "I don''t care, now you are looking for or kidnapping, in short, let the accused person shut up!" Joanna gave the order, "The witness is hesitating between appearing in court and not testifying in court. This time is very precious. If the witness Deciding to appear in court will cause a lot of trouble!"


    Guri took out his mobile phone: "I will send trusted forces to catch the leaker."


    Gu Li is very annoyed now. An Feng saved his life from FSB. Although he only thanked him a few times because he is not good at expressing his feelings, it does not mean that he does not know how to be grateful. Now he can''t wait to catch the guy who leaked the secret, tear his body into pieces and roast him with fire.


    Guri ranked the five people in order of possibility. The chances of Mars and Harry are not high. They have been together for many days. Although they are from different countries, Guri, who is good at observing, trusts them. Similarly, they also trust Guri. After his accident, the first response will be known.


    As for the remaining three people, the two Russians who were arrested, the possibility of coming back to bite their boss is also low��but it cannot be ruled out that they cannot resist the temptation of money; the remaining one is Dick, and Guli has a relationship with him Through cooperation, they often act together, but they don''t know much in private.


    But the low probability does not mean it is impossible, he needs to focus on the review.


    ��


    Due to the interference of many parties, the review did not make effective progress, and he left work after procrastination, and with the guarantee of a lawyer, An Feng could get limited freedom, but he had to move in places designated by the FBI, live in designated hotels, and be monitored by agents around him. Listening is everywhere.


    When An Feng and Joanna had dinner, there were agents watching them all around.


    An Feng said something to make her not worry, and then listened to her description of the current progress, and felt that the water was very deep, and the evidence of surveillance was inferred from last year, which means that this matter was planned for a long time Yeah, Anderson wasn''t even on stage then.


    On the other side, Meyer is also in action.


    He was not very willing to take over An Feng''s case, because he had known this person before, with a complicated background and a huge network behind the scenes, but he could not disobey the orders of the headquarters. Coupled with the overwhelming amount of evidence provided by certain informants, Mayer had no choice but to take over the case a month ago.


    In fact, ever since the California Republican government intervened, he knew that this was not just a case. Based on his professional sense developed over the years, there might be serious interest disputes involved here, so he tried **** the surface, but he always Follow the procedure to do things.


    He can''t afford to mess with both ends, so he can only pretend.


    After the state government put pressure on him, although he was annoyed by the collusion between the government and businessmen, but after thinking about it, this happened to be an opportunity to throw away the hot potato.


    Follow him and report the matter to the FBI headquarters, let the director handle it.


    FBI Director Kerry is a member of the Democratic Party, and his attitude towards President Anderson is very average. Anyway, he voted for the Democratic candidate during the election. He didn''t want to provoke opponents, but more than a month ago, someone paid to check one of Anderson''s supporters.


    Anderson''s supporters have a lot of background. Kerry feels that the political war has been burned from the two parties and the two chambers to the behind-the-scenes supporters. Since the new president took office, the disputes in Congress have become very serious and tend to become fierce. He wanted to play it safe. Not wading in muddy water, but someone asked him to do it.


    The Democratic leader of the House of Representatives and the Speaker of the House of Representatives made it clear that things are important.


    Kerry knew that he was going to offend people this time, but he had no choice. The funder was a large group that supported the party, and some Democrats were involved. He was also pulled up during the Oregon period. Yes, so I''m responsible for singing bad faces.

    Phoenix city.


    Only four actually came back, and Dick couldn''t be contacted for the time being.


    Guri apologized to them first, and then asked them to describe their trip after returning from Russia alone.


    Everyone has a very reasonable explanation for their outings, and when it was Harry''s turn, he said something that was almost ignored: "Someone once approached me on the Internet and asked me to provide clues about Russia''s actions. I used the company''s secrets as an excuse Rejected, but got some clues."


    Guri looked at Harry: "What about the details? Why did you say it now?"


    Harry hesitated, and confessed after a few seconds: "I''m short of money recently. I''m tired of working, and I want to find a woman for a vacation. Someone came to me and said that they could give me a lot of money, as long as I was willing to provide evidence and be a tainted witness, and even give me a new identity to live."


    "What happened next?" Gu Li asked.


    "I didn''t reject them right away, but asked for time to think about it." Harry said ashamedly, "Because the money was enough for me to live comfortably for several years, I was confused at the time and almost wanted to do it, but when I thought about the company''s huge impact on me. Help, I can''t betray everyone''s trust."


    Gu Li patted him on the shoulder: "You have not let everyone down."


    Harry smiled awkwardly, and continued: "Afterwards, I used some methods to check on the other party and obtained his identity. We knew each other."


    "Who is it?" Guli asked.


    "It goes back to the mission arranged by the big boss. We investigated a newspaper that was secretly engaged in commercial espionage and destroyed it. The person who contacted me, he was the boss of the newspaper, was finally accused, but because of the evidence Insufficient acquittal."


    Gu Li remembered that last year someone secretly photographed An Feng and his friends, and the instigator was the owner of the newspaper.


    But he disappeared afterwards... It is also very likely that he changed his identity, and a series of monitoring activities against An Feng began since then. Although it is not clear how it was related to the FBI in the end, it is not difficult to imagine that business competitors and political enemies can report.


    Harry said: "I thought the matter was not serious, and the big boss would have a way to solve it. In addition, the conversation between me and the other party was a little sensitive, so I kept silent."


    Gu Li could understand: "It''s not too late for you to say it now."


    ��


    That afternoon.


    The review has been deadlocked, and suddenly there is an order from the FBI headquarters and a document signed by the director, requesting that the suspect be interrogated separately, and has the right to refuse unreasonable requests from lawyers and local prosecutors. And sorting out the testimony, preparing to file a lawsuit in court.


    The governor, who was under pressure, also received protests and dissatisfaction from local Democratic congressmen, who believed that he had abused his power and interfered with judicial justice. Take a hand.


    This time it''s the opponent''s turn to make a move.

 Chapter 281： breaking point

    Chapter 281 Breakthrough Point


    Things have attracted high-level attention and put pressure on the state government.


    Under the double pressure of Democratic congressmen and the FBI, the governor had to make concessions, but he demanded that it must be fair and just. Even if the person concerned is not a U.S. citizen, he must be treated fairly as a California resident or a green card holder. The governor, in particular, is unhappy with illegal wiretapping.


    The third day.


    Joanna found a relationship that she could use.


    The Sinclair family, which has a close relationship with An Feng, Brulan and the assisted MPs are all thinking of ways. Some people are concentrated in the Aegis Security Branch in Los Angeles. They need video communication, so they have to choose an environment with a higher security factor to ensure that they will not be monitored.


    Gu Li, who participated in this matter, stated: "The tainted witness has been confirmed to be a special agent named ''Dick'' from Aegis Security. At present, he cannot be contacted. It may be protected by the official secret. It is a bit difficult to find him. Find as much as you can now."


    "In addition, according to one of my subordinates who was almost instigating rebellion, the matter is related to the previous industrial espionage, and it may be done by the same group. I deduce that it is not only An that is targeted, but also others, including those here. It''s just An Weaknesses are the most obvious and come first.��


    Matthew ordered: "After finding the whereabouts of that person, find a way to make him change his mouth, or make him shut up forever. The testimony of a tainted witness is the most serious. We have to spend a lot of effort to reverse the influence of this witness. So it''s best if he doesn''t exist."


    Guri nodded, he knew what it meant.


    Bazel on the computer screen asked, "How far has it developed over there?"


    Matthew said: "The FBI has put pressure on the state government. The director and we are not on the same side. I am sure there are other officials behind the matter. Especially they know that after taking down Bruce, it will affect our entire group. There are a lot of people who are happy to play against us."


    "The influence of the evidence must be eliminated��no matter what means are used." Bazel spoke firmly. "As for the FBI, I will handle it."


    Things were arranged, and Joanna and Matthew were left in the meeting room, as well as Bazel on the screen.


    After sorting out the context of the matter, Joanna understood: "This is not only about personal violations, but also involves conflicts of interests between different parties?"


    Matthew nodded: "Yes, it was originally just an illegal technology transaction with a vague nature. We launched a raid, trying to make chaos within us."


    Bazel said at this time: "He is safe for the time being, this is just a threat."


    Matthew thought for a while and understood: "I see, they are actually sure to deal with Bruce, but doing so will only kill us."


    "So their purpose is to negotiate, to ask for prices." Bazel said.


    "We don''t have bargaining chips yet." Matthew shook his head.


    "Take the initiative to create." Bazel said, turned his head and said a few words to the assistant beside him, "I''m going to meet Anderson. Hurry up."


    ��


    An Feng, who was in the whirlpool, was once again talked alone.


    The leader is replaced by Otto, an agent from the headquarters. He is more sophisticated and cunning, and he puts pressure on people from all aspects. He finds details from An Feng''s words, takes advantage of loopholes, leaks or slips of the tongue may become evidence for future prosecutions, so An Feng''s big Some moments are met with silence.


    "Mr. Ann, silence does not make you innocent." Meyer said to him.


    "I didn''t break the law. It was you who eavesdropped on me through the so-called security channel and obtained partial evidence, so you framed me." An Feng said.


    Otto with a pair of triangular eyes sneered: "Whether you are telling the truth or a lie, we can completely conduct a machine lie detector on you."


    An Feng is not afraid of him: "Whatever you want, but I reserve the right to sue!"


    "Very good! Very good!" After snapping his fingers, Otto suddenly stood up from his seat and came to An Feng.


    An Feng looked up at him: "Finally decided to violate the rules?"


    "Haha." Otto smiled, and patted An Feng''s face with the back of his hand, "I know there are many people watching outside, and someone will protect your skin!"


    "Maybe everyone knows my grievances." An Feng said.


    "Let me tell you!" Otto suddenly put his whole face in front of An Feng, "Now obediently explain what you have done, maybe those people outside can save your life. Otherwise, we will use Smear the witnesses, send you to court, and sentence you to decades!"


    "Continue!" An Feng said.


    "I think you have to learn a lesson before you can be good!" Otto took out an iron fist glove from his suit, put it on four fingers, and wrapped it with a layer of clothes.


    An Feng looked at him mockingly.


    Meyer stared at An Feng, the cameras in the interrogation room had been turned off, no one would know what to do.


    Otto stood in front of An Feng and said, "One last question to you, confess everything you have done!"


    "FUCK-YOU!" An Feng scolded, this guy is mentally ill, and he is charged with this crime, what shocking secret do you want to reveal?


    With a bang, An Feng was punched in the face, and fell to the ground with his chair and his body. His hands were bound and he couldn''t move.


    Otto pulled him up, looked at An Feng''s face, and smiled: "Have you figured it out?"


    "I remember." An Feng said.


    Meyer and Otto both looked at him, An Feng smiled and said: "Your wife''s tongue skills are so **** good, it makes me feel so happy every time, and I have endless aftertaste!"


    "Fuck you!" Otto punched him in the face again.


    Otto helped him up, looked at An Feng who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Are you comfortable?"


    An Feng was annoyed: "What do you want me to say?"


    "Did you bring out the list of FB-5?" Otto asked.


    An Feng was confused, and said loudly: "I don''t know, I''ve never heard of this ghost thing!"


    "Still talking hard!" Otto raised his fist, when the door of the interrogation room opened, and the sudden scene was fully presented to the eyes of several people outside the door.


    "What are you doing? Stop right now!" The first guy wearing glasses yelled sharply, and the people behind him winked hurriedly.


    Otto immediately took off the weapon in his hand and stood aside.


    The man with glasses walked up to An Feng. An Feng spat out **** saliva and asked, "Who are you?"


    "I am a special case representative of the U.S. Department of Justice, appointed by the Attorney General to supervise this case!" The man with glasses said righteously, and glanced at Otto unkindly. "Guarantee the fairness of the law enforcement process, and prevent any law enforcement personnel from breaking the law and abusing lynching!"


    When An Feng heard it, the state Department of Justice was withdrawn and replaced by the U.S. Department of Justice.


    An Feng said: "You see it now, isn''t it wonderful?"


    The commissioner shook his head seriously: "I am dissatisfied with this scene, and I am willing to report this matter to the court as Mr. An''s witness!"


    An Feng looked at the violent Otto and the indifferent Meyer with unnatural expressions, like stepping on **** and standing in the crowd, and smiled: "Let me go."


    Otto didn''t move, the commissioner said: "Before there is no conclusive evidence, you don''t need to detain the suspect to this extent."


    Meyer went to release An Feng''s handcuffs.


    After Bazel contacted Anderson, he did not dare to neglect the bosses of the consortium. Although the director of the FBI is not on the same side as the Republican Party, its boss��the Attorney General belongs to the presidential cabinet, and the minister (the Attorney General) is a member of the Republican Party. Characters on board.


    The forces behind An Feng gave a response. The U.S. Department of Justice��s Office of the Inspector General immediately set up a task force and rushed to Los Angeles to investigate this matter��in fact, it was to make the FBI behave. And the Department of Justice!


    Although the suspicion on An Feng is still there, things are back on track.


    With the participation of the Ministry of Justice, all law enforcement departments have to behave properly and deal with problems according to regulations and regulations. If there are violations, not only will they be in trouble, but also their superiors. And I have double trouble...


    The key to whether An Feng is guilty or not comes back to the two points of evidence and witnesses.


    The evidence is the wiretapping inferences, the threat here is not that big, and An Feng''s legal team is trying to sue any agency that has conducted illegal wiretapping and made jumping conclusions��the FBI and NSA will lie down, but the main thing is to let them let go Signal: There is no need to fight to the death at this point.


    Witnesses are the most difficult problem in this case. Although An Feng did not admit it, everyone more or less recognized the fact in their hearts, but now is not the time to care about An Feng leaking any secrets. When the benefits he brings to the consortium far outweigh the risks, everyone will cover him.


    An Feng''s relationship with these big families has been very good in the past few years, and the interests of each other have been bundled. If he falls, the others will suffer a lot. So they''re going to keep him no matter what, and just in the inevitable, the President''s relationship continues to play out.


    After the Department of Justice intervened, An Feng had just gained the upper hand when the leader of the Democratic Party and the Speaker of the House of Representatives took notice. He is now quite critical of Anderson.


    The case is relatively complicated, with two forces. The first is the investigation of whether An Feng is a spy, and the second is the dispute between the two parties and interest groups behind the scenes. These two things must be resolved at the same time, so that An Feng can get out of trouble. Otherwise, they can grasp a detail and zoom in infinitely.


    Now Anderson has to walk carefully, let the Democratic Party seize the handle of his abuse of power, which will affect his reputation, and may even be impeached by the House of Representatives. This is probably the most tragic scene of being a president. Now it is like walking in a canoe. Use power in a balanced manner.


    During the tense confrontation between the two sides, Gu Li finally found the witness who reversed the case.


    Now not only Gu Li is looking for this person, but An Feng''s friends all over the United States have also dispatched their own black and white forces, offering money and bribes, and inquiring on the road... Finally, countless clues quickly gathered��Dick was hiding in San Diego. A batch of FBI agents protected him and rarely went out every day.


    Guri took his action team into position.


    They analyzed the possibility of changing his mouth and shutting up, and it was already impossible for him to change his mouth. Under the protection of so many agents, they couldn��t contact him for a long time, so there was only the latter option��making him shut up. Many assassination plans flashed through Guli''s mind, and he needed to choose the one with the least impact.


    Because of the sudden death of the witness, it also had a great impact on An Feng.

 Chapter 282： Get away 【Third watch】

    Chapter 282 Get away


    (Third shift without votes to count...)


    ��


    Dick was beginning to regret his decision to testify.


    He was also confused for a moment, because the other party''s asking price was too high and he became obsessed. But now after being forcibly protected by a group of FBI agents, he calmed down and realized the horror of the matter. The boss of the company is a mysterious figure. Although he is very low-key, there is no denying the power behind this person.


    His instigators promised that if he gave evidence, he would get paid to get away with it, but now it is heard that he is also required to appear as a tainted witness because there are too many people involved in this matter, lawyers and DOJ monitors. The delay created many obstacles to his way of testifying.


    Dick didn''t want to testify against An Feng face to face, which would make him never have peace in the future. In order to convince him, the FBI has been trying to convince him, and there are a group of people behind the scenes who are asking him for a price, but they are not sincere enough... The price they gave is more like they don''t want me to agree so quickly.


    There was no news for several days in a row, and there were more agents around him. When Dick asked what was going on, they couldn''t explain clearly. Just let him follow a set routine. He was beginning to feel tired and scared, tired of the house, its dull atmosphere, and afraid of bullets coming from nowhere.


    He is sure that after he disappears, he will become the biggest suspect.


    Especially in the face of professional bodyguards, in fact, bodyguards and killers are just the opposite side of the same coin. They are familiar with the characteristics and focus of each other''s professions, and it is easy to switch identities. Therefore, Dick reduced the time for going out for activities, and drew the curtains in the house, carefully living in the shadows.


    One afternoon, a certain agent came back with an order.


    Dick said to them, "I feel like they''re there."


    The agent shook his head: "We checked, it''s safe."


    "No, you didn''t check clearly enough!" Dick said anxiously, "I smell danger, believe me, I know them well!"


    The agent moved the dinner to the table: "You have said it several times in a row, but every time it was a false alarm. I can understand your mentality. I have also been in charge of the protection of key witnesses before. They are always suspicious, but in the end They are all safe and well alive."


    "This is different, they are a group of high-level bodyguards." Dick said.


    "Can you change your identity to be a killer at any time?" The young agent said jokingly, picking up a sandwich, "They don''t even look around, there are countless sentinels and guards around, and the windows are all specially made. As long as one bullet is fired, all of us will be killed." They will all swarm up and grab the current one!"


    Dick doesn''t listen to him, but watches the agent eat the sandwich, and a few seconds later, he picks up the sandwich too.


    The agent took a sip from his Coke cup, and Dick stared again.


    After taking two sips, the agent shook his head and said, "I''m fine. Your spirit is too tense. We sent these specially, and they are safe."


    Dick takes a few bites of his sandwich.


    "Have a drink?" The agent shook the cup.


    Dick shook his head, and the agent smiled and took out a few bottles of mineral water: "Is there any problem with these? They are all tightly packaged and bought directly from the store."


    Dick took a few mouthfuls of the sandwich, felt a little thirsty, and felt that his nerves were too tense, so he took the safer mineral water bottle, checked the lid, and found that there was no sign of unscrewing it, so he unscrewed it with confidence and poured it for himself. After a few bites, the taste of the sandwich left in the mouth was diluted.


    Another agent also picked up the mineral water, and when he was about to unscrew the cap, he found Dick''s face was ugly.


    "What''s wrong?" The two young agents didn''t realize what happened.


    "I can''t breathe!" Dick grabbed his neck in a panic. He felt as if his chest was pressed by a stone. He had difficulty breathing, dizziness and nausea, body convulsions, and various symptoms of poisoning flashed rapidly in his mind. Finally, he touched the bottle of mineral water with trembling hands. water, head poured on the table.


    The agents gathered around, and someone shouted: "The target is poisoned!"


    A more experienced agent ran in outside the door and shouted: "Go and get the gloves!"


    The agent went to do it immediately, and the old agent ordered: "Open his mouth and induce him to vomit!"


    After the agent put on the transparent gloves, he stuck his finger into his mouth, Dick twitched, and a bad smell came, he was incontinent! In less than ten seconds, before he spit it out, the signs of life rapidly weakened, his eyes turned white and he was silent, and several agents around him looked at each other in blank dismay.


    The old agent picked up the mineral water bottle he wanted to touch last, observed it, and suddenly tore off the outer packaging, and found a very small bump under the glued joint, which had been melted, and it is certain that someone injected the poison from it with a syringe. Go in and then inject the glue to melt back into place.


    The young agent deduced: "Potassium cyanide is suspected."


    The old agent put down the mineral water bottle: "It''s potassium cyanide, which is highly poisonous and easily soluble in water. Once eaten, a few seconds are enough to kill an adult."


    ��


    Review work is in a standoff.


    Anderson continued to pay attention to the development of things, and the Democratic Party also watched the president.


    The review of An Feng''s work is not public, but he procrastinates and can''t accomplish a few things in a day. Lawyers always have various reasons to interfere with the case legitimately.


    Everyone understands that they are delaying time.


    The FBI has strengthened the protection of tainted witnesses. In addition, Democratic congressmen who are also concerned about this matter have begun to express dissatisfaction with Anderson. Although it has not developed to the extent of advocating the president��s abuse of power, the meaning is very clear. Even if you are the president, you cannot interfere with legal justice.


    Anderson used the tact of a politician to deal with members of Congress, and the authority of the president temporarily suppressed opposition voices.


    Just as the cold war continued, Guli''s message came back: complete.


    Matthew immediately notified Bazel: "The witness is done, we have the initiative."


    Bazel is very satisfied: "Very good, I am ready to talk to them."


    Matthew said: "I''m in charge of this."


    Joanna was a little worried after learning about the incident: "Will the death of the witness cause more trouble?"


    "There will be trouble, but it''s easy to handle," Matthew said.


    Joanna understood that the testimony of the tainted witness pointed directly at An Feng''s vitals, and could bring him down at any time. Now that the witness is dead, although An Feng is the biggest suspect, he is only a suspect, and he is not 100% sure that it is him. It depends on how powerful the lawyer''s mouth is.


    In this case, An Feng''s lawyer had the opportunity to have a private conversation with him.


    Two lawyer representatives met with An Feng in the reception room. Due to the intervention of the Ministry of Justice, An Feng''s treatment has now changed from a confirmed suspect to a suspected suspect, so he doesn''t need to stay in that airtight small dark room anymore, and can walk around the office area.


    Hardy briefly described the case: "As far as the current situation is concerned, endangering national security is mainly the inferred evidence of wiretapping, which is illegal in itself, and it has very little influence on you, but now you are facing another charge: instigating the murder of witnesses. I need to tell you the details of the case."


    Rather than talk, it is better to say that Hardy is teaching him how to speak on behalf of Anfeng''s behind-the-scenes group. Although instigating murder is also very serious, in the eyes of lawyers, it is far inferior to the previous one involving national security. The accusation is terrible, and it can be solved by exploiting loopholes.


    Talking about the monitoring, An Feng told Hardy some facts: "The exoskeleton developed by the robot company was stolen before. At that time, the local police in San Jose and San Francisco had received the case and had detailed records. I licensed the technology to Raytheon for free."


    "You mean, technology has been stolen?" Hardy seized on this.


    An Feng said: "Of course, this is my hole card. I haven''t said it because the witness''s allegations are too serious��"


    "Sir." Hardy reminded.


    An Feng avoids this topic: "The stolen ones include a complete set of exoskeleton samples and a hard drive with technology. It has no protection measures and can be copied by thousands of copies. In the end, I authorized Raytheon as a contribution to the United States. In addition, I There is also evidence that the Russians stole a de-emphasized blueprint of an exoskeleton from the U.S., which I very much doubt the cause of.��


    Hadi received these favorable evidences and said confidently: "Please rest assured, sir, in the case of illegal trading, you will definitely win."


    ��


    As far as the case is concerned, An Feng''s accusation of endangering national security is facing a situation of insufficient evidence. In all likelihood, it is unfounded, but the murder still has an impact.


    There is also a surprise: since he was taken away by the FBI, his words and deeds have been monitored, and there is no possibility of instigating others to commit crimes. This helped him indirectly.


    It''s a pity that it''s not a simple case, it involves a dispute involving the behind-the-scenes forces. If it was just a case, An Feng could get rid of the surveillance on the grounds of insufficient evidence, but before the behind-the-scenes control group got things settled, An Feng would still have to carry spies behind his back Suspects act as "targets" for negotiations.


    It is not until now that we can negotiate fairly with the other party.


    The cause of the incident was that after monitoring An Feng, it was speculated that he had committed illegal activities, and then the guy who was at odds with the Dezhou consortium seized the time to make trouble, trying to kill two birds with one stone��killing An Feng and hitting the consortium. Now he escaped, but the other party is still holding the handle.


    Anderson told Bazel: "If we want the Democrats to stop grabbing this matter, we can only compromise on certain aspects they want."


    Bazel understood: "The rejected trade bill?"


    Anderson said: "Yes. Otherwise they will continue to exert pressure to get more Democratic officials involved in the case and watch my every move."


    Bazel said: "Let''s make a concession here. Compared with the previous serious injury, the current ending is already within an acceptable range."


    "I think so too." Anderson nodded, "But sir, the thing about Ann is a warning, and there are too many things about him that can be manipulated."


    "I''ll go talk to him," Bazel said.


    ��


    Agent Meyer received instructions from the Director.


    There are many doubts about this matter. The FBI''s monitoring is illegal and cannot be used as evidence for accusation; the witness has died, and the most effective means of accusation has been lost. As a result, the case was deadlocked and reduced to a general murder charge. As required, only the materials could be handed over and handled by the state government.


    Mayer knew that this was a signal that the top management had reached unity and stopped.


    But the big detective from the headquarters, Otto, who is a bit white, still has to prepare to investigate this matter.


    Meyer was puzzled by the inconsistency within the FBI at first, but as a human being, he quickly understood��boy, you have offended someone!


    Meyer is thankful that he behaved all the way and was on the first boat.


    ��


    The FBI, which originally wanted to talk to An Feng about the accusation of murder, suddenly received an order from above, indicating that this matter is under the management of the local police. There are too many doubts about the espionage accusation. Can be handed over as a murder case.


    Subsequently, the state police took over An Feng''s case.


    Before that, Agent Otto had a very uncomfortable conversation with An Feng: "I know that you did it. Although the evidence is destroyed, it doesn''t mean that we will let you go! Pay attention to me, and we will keep an eye on you. Watching you, waiting for the moment when you show your tricks - kill you!"


    An Feng asked with a smile: "Is this an official threat to innocent civilians?"


    Otto said: "You know it yourself!"


    "Of course I know, you are a naked threat!" An Feng smiled and took out the recording device on his body, "It''s quite easy to use."


    Otto left with a dark face.


    "Wait for the court summons." An Feng reminded behind him.


    In order to show the importance attached to the case, the state police who took over the case sent elite police officers to investigate and deal with it.


    The so-called elite is to handle cases strictly according to the procedures: get together to drink coffee to discuss the case, meet with the suspect on time, talk and collect evidence, continue to gather in the afternoon to drink coffee to discuss the case, and then the day��s work ends. The second time, the steps of yesterday were still strictly implemented... In the end, due to factors such as the FBI''s non-cooperation and vague evidence, the police did not have favorable evidence, and even the jury was not used. The prosecution voluntarily canceled the appeal.


    Then new evidence emerged, and the murder case pointed to a local cross-border criminal organization because the victim had a drug dealing dispute with them, and then the police focused their detection on the Mexican border. Organize and destroy in a centralized manner.

 Chapter 283： dual citizenship

    Chapter 283 Dual Citizenship


    After An Feng got rid of these troubles, it was already July.


    Considering the ways of the world, he first thanked all the friends who helped him on the phone, and promised to attend the private party the night after tomorrow to discuss follow-up issues. Followed by dinner in Los Angeles before taking Joanna home. When she got home, she finally unloaded the burden, but the fatigue was still on her face.


    An Feng held her in his arms, patted her on the back lightly, and comforted her: "It''s all right now."


    "I know." She buried her head in An Feng''s chest and closed her eyes.


    Although during the past ten days, An Feng was able to meet her except for a few times when he needed to stay up late in the small black room, but due to the surveillance, he was unable to take care of many things, could not ask questions, and could not give her advice. For comfort, I can only encourage her with my eyes and give her confidence.


    Joanna contributed a lot to this matter. During the time when An Feng lost his freedom, she shouldered the burden and did a very critical job as the hostess. She acted as An Feng''s solid backing, contacting friends from all walks of life for him, and solving the problem. Trouble, there is no complaint in the whole process.


    Now that the matter is over, the sky is not falling, and people are still intact... An Feng hugs her quietly, he is very glad that he can have this woman.


    "It won''t happen next time." An Feng promised.


    "I hope so," she said, holding him tight. "You don''t know how much I worry about you. I''m afraid."


    "I know."


    ��


    the next day.


    A distinguished guest came to the vineyard��Bazel.


    An Feng has known everyone for so long, and they often visit other people''s homes as guests, and rarely invite them. Bazel, who took the initiative to come to the door this time, criticized: "I can come to your place once, and it is a kind of capital to show off when I go back! It is very good, with a strong atmosphere of the winery!"


    "Please!" An Feng smiled, invited Bazel in, and looked at the bodyguard he brought.


    Bazel said, "Leave them alone."


    An Feng took him away, and at the same time explained: "There is no invitation, because everyone is very busy, and I am sorry to make you come all the way."


    ��People always live in the spare time squeezed out from being busy.�� Bazel said, ��It��s not that they don��t have time, but whether they take it seriously.��


    "My fault!" An Feng said.


    Bazel was satisfied with his attitude, and sat down at the wooden table in the backyard. Joanna served them a fruit platter: "Please enjoy it as you like."


    "Thank you." Bazel smiled.


    An Feng knew that something must be wrong with Bazel coming to find him, so he asked, "What is it?"


    "About your identity," Bazel said.


    "Identity... do you mean nationality?" An Feng said that in this investigation, one of the main points of the other party''s suspicion of him was inferred from his nationality.


    "Yes, if you are a financier or a simple investor, it doesn''t matter much, but you are now an industrialist, and you are also engaged in very important industries and technologies. Whether it is batteries, chips or medicine, there will be people looking for flaws, It doesn��t have to be an individual breaking the law, but it can also be a corporate monopoly, abuse of market dominance, etc. In many aspects, we must be cautious, make fewer mistakes, and make mistakes in time.��


    An Feng asked: "Is it the same as this time?"


    Bazel nodded: "Since the advent of super batteries, we have been challenging the traditional oil field. You may have heard that the Sinclair family has paved the way for new energy, and has already had a tough fight with their peers. If we intervene in other fields The non-cooperative behavior has made many enemies at present."


    An Feng was very puzzled: "I still don''t know who the opponent is and where it is."


    Bazel smiled: "If you want me to answer, I can only say too much, and I can''t count."


    "I have the feeling that those politicians are only on the surface, although they have always been fighting each other." An Feng said the guess buried in his heart.


    Bazel nodded: "Politicians are at best a high-level **** in the incident. Without the support of people behind the scenes, they would not dare to take such a decisive action against us anyway. The politicians who seem to dominate the whole process are actually supported by capitalists. Just pets."


    "Who is behind the scenes?" An Feng became even more curious about the whole situation.


    "All those that have overlapping interests with us." Bazel said seriously, "Let''s talk about gasoline companies first, they are our most tense opponents at present. We use cheaper batteries to influence the traditional gasoline market, which will at least make Some automakers and gasoline dealers went bankrupt."


    "Is the conflict with the gasoline field so acute?" An Feng asked.


    "The current oil price is three times higher than ten years ago, and the world''s oil reserves can still last for a period of time. Before the battery technology of new energy vehicles had a breakthrough, it developed slowly and had nothing to do with the overall situation, but now the new energy vehicles have completely Lose the advantage of gasoline."


    An Feng knows that gasoline prices in various places remain high, and global automakers are developing new energy vehicles. GP has unprecedented advantages. In terms of battery supply, it affects the performance and future of many manufacturers. If there are more electric vehicles and they are cheap, who will use gasoline?


    "Do you know how nervous other people will be when the energy technology that should belong to the future is now under our control, and we don''t back down at all? It''s like holding a knife across the neck. Whatever we say, the other party can only obey obediently .In this case, many people are in a hurry."


    Bazel also revealed that they are not only rapidly developing the new energy field, but also taking advantage of the fire on the oil issue. With the assistance of politicians, the new president has signed many bills that are beneficial to their consortium after taking office. Against many large consortiums.


    An Feng understood a little bit: "So our opponent is the very small number of interest groups in the United States, the big financial groups?"


    Bazel nodded: "In theory, yes."


    Knowing the truth, An Feng admired it. This situation is a proper way to single out a group of people! No wonder so many politicians came out to sell this time. They are all the spokespersons of the interest class, backed by financial groups, and no one is afraid of anyone. The Sinclair family is just stronger, but they are not invincible.


    An Feng asked seriously: "With so many enemies, are you sure we can go on?"


    "So we compromised." Bazel shrugged, "We''ve pushed them into a corner, and if they go any further, it''s time for an explosion, so it''s appropriate to stop."


    "But this time it''s not over." Bazel emphasized.


    An Feng looked at him, and he pointed his finger at the table: "We backed down this time and suffered losses, but we don''t show that we are afraid! The pawns involved in this matter will clean them up sooner or later, the consortium behind the scenes...as long as we maintain internal stability , step by step, they will be finished in a few years!"


    An Feng was infected by him: "I will provide more help."


    His personality has always been very kind, but this time he was annoyed, so he decided to bring out more technology. Since it is a struggle of capitalists, he must have strong funds!


    Bazel said the main point: "Attacking the opponent, working **** the surface cannot hurt the core. If the lackey is killed, the dog owner will bring more lackeys next time! Only by directly defeating the dog owner can they really be scared. Politicians They are running dogs, and the supporters behind the scenes are the key."


    An Feng understood: "We maintain our current advantage. They don''t have core competitiveness. Sooner or later, it will be over?"


    Bazel nodded: "That''s why I said internal stability. In three to five years, they will wag their tails and surrender without us doing anything."


    An Feng said: "I understand the key."


    Bazel looked at the high-spirited An Feng, and smiled: "Things won''t be so fast. We developed too fast before, and we exposed our weaknesses."


    "I know." An Feng said, he himself can''t be in a hurry, too impatient.


    "Things have not yet developed into a sharp confrontation. This time our concession is only to create an illusion, and then we will slowly dismember the opponent."


    "I agree." An Feng said.


    An Feng has realized that although the politicians who shot him are actually consortiums with conflicting interests, it is easy for him to retaliate against these politicians, but as Bazel said, can beating a dog threaten its owner? No, so you have to beat the dog owner directly! The fist has to be in the right place.


    But these capitalists are so cunning that they won''t expose their flaws casually like a fledgling novice like him. So things come back to the original point - the struggle of capital. Whatever your opponent is good at, use stronger technology to compete with them, and sooner or later you will be **** and surrender with a white flag.


    An Feng knew that he was actually stealing the money that belonged to his opponent. They had no money, so how could they still dance?


    Bazel looked at him: "So relax, don''t you guys have something to say, after a loss, you will be smarter next time? This time we got blood, which is the price of negligence, but it definitely doesn''t mean that we will never lose money. It is passive, and the opponent has no weakness every time."


    "Thank you for your reminder." An Feng made it clear, "What about my nationality?"


    "In the industry you are involved in, it has a profound impact on the overall technology and economy of the United States. The accusation against you is just a harbinger. Few people would like to see a non-American Chinese galloping on their land. So I and After discussing with Anderson, you should consider naturalization."


    An Feng said: "But I haven''t reached five years yet."


    "Anderson will handle it." Bazel didn''t take this as a problem, "As a special talent, they will analyze your influence and effect on the United States, and with the president''s endorsement, you can take the fast track to become an American citizen. Every year special people are naturalized in this way."


    "Should I give up my original nationality?" An Feng asked.


    "Are you trying to hold dual citizenship?" Bazel asked.


    An Feng nodded: "Some of my relatives are still in China. Foreign nationals need a visa to go back, and my current status is a diplomat in China."


    "I see, visa-free." Bazel understood, "This is also possible, but it takes a little more effort. You can talk to Anderson tomorrow night."


    "He''s coming too?" An Feng said.


    "Even the president has his own personal space." Bazel said with a smile, "He has worked hard for your affairs, and took the lead to withstand the attacks of Democratic congressmen and officials, so he almost got into a fight... Fortunately, Your friend was quick enough to cut off the thread in time."


    "I will thank him personally." An Feng said, if Anderson hadn''t sent someone and provided a guarantee, he might have been locked up in a small dark room by the FBI for more than ten days.

 Chapter 284： crashed into the hospital

    Chapter 284 Knocked into the hospital


    The next night, Santa Barbara.


    The meeting place is still in Austin Blueline''s private mansion, which has become one of the consortium''s secret meeting places in California.


    There are a large number of people this time, members of the consortium, politicians are all present, and Anderson is destined to shine.


    When An Feng saw him, he came forward with a smile, shook hands with him and greeted him. After letting go, Anderson gave him another warm hug.


    "Mr. An, how are you doing recently?" Anderson greeted.


    "It''s okay, I would like to thank you for your help." An Feng said with a smile.


    "Just doing my best." Anderson wrote lightly, then turned to Joanna: "It''s nice to meet you too, honorable lady."


    "Thank you, Mr. President." Joanna smiled and shook hands with him.


    After exchanging pleasantries with Anderson and the first lady, the two temporarily left Anderson, who had a lot of entertainment, and came to the circle of other consortium members.


    Joanna often accompanies An Feng to dinner parties, so she is very familiar with these wives. When she stops in the circle, everyone greets her one after another. It feels like she is treated like a big star... Who told her to be An Feng''s wife, as the core of the consortium, It is human nature to be flattered and flattered.


    An Feng then took the champagne and went to say hello to those friends who helped him.


    From consortium members to politicians...Walking around holding wine glasses, each of them clinked a glass, took a sip and chatted a few words. The glasses were changed four times in total. There were many people who helped him, and some even only met a few times. Loss and loss, they all contributed to this incident.


    In order to help An Feng, everyone lost, but compared with the huge benefits he brought, it was easy to choose. Don''t talk about racial conspiracy or anything, bullshit! It is meaningless for capitalists at this level to talk about national boundaries. What they pursue is interests. If there is mutual interest, they are good friends. How much money can they make by talking about race?


    After that, An Feng and a few core members got together.


    Anderson is also here, in addition to discussing future plans, there are also arrangements for An Feng.


    Everyone agreed that An Feng should be more cautious in his actions. He also promised that the "spy" oolong would not happen again, the trouble caused by the exoskeleton has come to an end, and he has no other mandatory promotion tasks on him. Everyone also gave him advice and suggestions to improve his own protection.


    "Continuous security is necessary." Austin said with certainty, "You feel inconvenient, but when it comes in handy, you will be glad."


    "I will." An Feng accepted the education of his seniors humbly.


    "Hurry up and get your nationality." Matthew said, "In this espionage case, a lot of clowns are making a fuss about your foreign nationality. You have American citizenship, and it is easier for the government to obtain it." Trust, otherwise other friends will not be able to grasp the evaluation of you."


    An Feng looked at the president, and he said: "Your thoughts Bazel told me that dual citizenship is adopted by default. I will ask someone to add some powerful content to your file, and after the naturalization permit is granted with my authorization , encrypted and stored, and only a small number of people will be able to view it in the future.��


    "Then under normal circumstances, which identity should I use?" An Feng asked.


    "Whatever you like, it depends on your preference." Anderson said.


    "What if I am also a diplomat stationed in the United States?" An Feng thought a lot.


    Anderson was stunned, a little admired: "If you can obtain permission from the host country''s government, the United States will naturally recognize your identity."


    When An Feng was invited to drink tea, he had thought about immunity.


    If he is the diplomatic representative of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis in the United States, it means that he has absolute immunity. In principle, anything that happens on his land cannot be arrested by law enforcement agencies or the military. The embassy or the national government handles diplomatic incidents.


    Bazel had to remind him: "When you hold passports from two countries at the same time, it is best not to frequently use the privileges of diplomatic personnel."


    "I know." An Feng said. As a multi-national person with a special status, the right of immunity is not necessarily a gold medal to avoid death. When it is found out that he has American nationality, the law enforcement agencies can also say that he is on American soil. If he has American nationality, he will be dealt with according to local laws, and he will stumble. up.


    But after serious consideration, immunity is still necessary.


    Let��s first look at the attitude of St. Kitts and Nevis. Like the diplomats who went to Russia last time, it is not a big problem to destroy them when they come back, but this time it is a long-term one. They are both American and Chinese diplomats. It''s a little troublesome in the formalities... In fact, it''s still a matter of money and reputation.


    After An Feng took the diplomat status, he has been well-behaved, rarely used privileges, and did not cause trouble to the country. If it was changed to someone who caused troubles all day long and asked the embassy to deal with the aftermath, the officials would have to think carefully. So Anfeng has good credit and is easily accepted.


    The affairs of the diplomats were listed as the current focus after Anderson also gave an affirmative answer.


    Then they talked about monitoring or spying by opponents. An Feng was more disgusted with monitoring. Who knows how many secrets the FBI has stolen from the bottom of his bed or the bottom of his shoes? Others are also very unhappy with this behavior of the US government, and Anderson is innocent in the face of everyone''s doubts.


    He said: "Acts involving national security will be handled in secret, and even if I intervene, the FBI will still be able to shirk on the grounds of confidentiality. I can only ask that the monitoring be within a reasonable and legal scope and not violate the law. But there is no conclusive evidence Yes, I can''t control it."


    Austin said in this regard: "The position of the director should be replaced."


    Matthew asked: "Are you sure?"


    "At any time, it mainly depends on Mr. President." Austin smiled with a kind face.


    Anderson promised: "After you create an opportunity, help your own people up, and then check whether the FBI has targeted other people for bad behavior."


    Austin said: "Just wait for this sentence, if he doesn''t give up his seat, I will help him."


    Bazel said: "And this time some clowns performed very clumsily and wanted to confront me face to face. I think it''s time to create some scandal."


    Anderson laughed: "Someone from the Department of Justice will watch them."


    Matthew turned his head and said to An Feng: "For the time being, let''s get rid of the most outstanding guys this time, but it may not affect the people behind the scenes."


    An Feng could understand: "Let''s take it as a non-aggression warning."


    ��


    Maryland.


    Due to factors such as the small capacity of the FBI headquarters in Washington, the ugly appearance, and the lack of funds of the US government, the new FBI headquarters moved to Maryland. Feel alive.


    Director Kerry, as always, called it a day and drove home alone.


    Someone recently reminded him to pay attention. They won the behind-the-scenes fight, and the other side also died down, but there is no guarantee that it will turn into a superficial dispute. If his opponent gets some scandalous evidence, his position will be shaken. Kerry took it to heart, but he was clean himself.


    As a secret service chief, he is careful in life. If there is a scandal, he will erase it quietly. Even if the Republicans gritted their teeth at him, it is impossible to threaten him with illicit reasons, even the president. You have to act obediently in accordance with the laws and regulations.


    Kerry''s relaxed mood is like the bright sunshine above his head. After this incident, he can enjoy the money with peace of mind. Maybe it would be good to be a member of parliament in the future, and he is happier than now... He is in a good mood Driving without noticing the rear.


    There are two cars speeding in the overtaking lane, slightly exceeding the speed limit of the road. However, in the case of a large truck in the driving lane, there is nothing wrong with speeding slightly. When the two cars overtake the head of the truck, they change lanes. The first car is stable In the past, I found that there was still a small car in front of me slowly, so I hurriedly braked.


    The planned lane change of the second car was blocked, and the speed was too fast, so it hit the black Cadillac in front. The sound of brakes came, and the slightly rear-ended Chevrolet stopped.


    The Cadillac that was hit in front was unstable at high speed. The front of the car rushed to the right lane. The normal time is a little slower before stepping on the brakes.


    However, it was too late, the truck veered in an emergency direction, but it still hit the black Cadillac from the side. With a large mass and a high speed of over 100, the black car rolled and flew out of the air. Got up, rolled down the hillside, was blocked by roadside trees, and the car was seriously deformed.


    Trucks, Chevrolets all braking ahead.


    The driver got out of the car in a panic, called the police with his mobile phone, and went to check the situation of the driver who was hit down the hillside. Everything was going on in an orderly manner.


    This scene was captured by the truck and Chevrolet''s dash cam.


    The police and ambulance rushed to the scene, investigated the cause of the accident, extracted the video from the driving recorder, and finally judged that it was a very coincidental accident. The car in front changed lanes and braked, and the car behind was blocked. Cadillac, hit by a normal truck again.


    Everything is reasonable, and the two drivers also actively cooperated with the police investigation, expressing their willingness to take responsibility and compensate the victims for all expenses.


    And the victim...not dead, but presumably disabled. The accident also made the headlines of many newspapers: FBI Director Kerry was seriously injured in a traffic accident and was hospitalized!


    Subsequently, there was other evidence that Kerry was speeding at the time. In addition, alcohol and some addictive drugs of unknown origin were found in his car. The handling of the perpetrators was not mentioned, but because of the accident and active cooperation, even if the parties want to sue, it is only in the civil category.


    The director went to the hospital to wear a ventilator to count his heartbeat, but the FBI cannot be left alone for a day. The Department of Justice and the president, who are particularly concerned about this matter, specially greeted Kerry and made arrangements for the work of the FBI. Appointed an acting director. After the director can be discharged from the hospital and walk normally, the matter will be discussed later.


    Afterwards, people sighed about the accident, accidents are everywhere. The police also reminded drivers not to speed and drive with caution. After a few days of excitement, things ended peacefully. Then began some quiet job transfers within the FBI.


    Some high-level officials feel that the accident was too coincidental, but the police have closed the case as an accident. The matter has nothing to do with the FBI and cannot intervene in local police affairs. If you are dissatisfied, you can ask the president who made the appointment. silent.

 Chapter 285： security customization

    Chapter 285 Security Customization


    An Feng also went back to prepare his personal files. From the conversation last night, he learned that some high-level officials in the U.S. government did know about his background, such as GP companies, research centers, and beverage companies. But it has become a weight for self-protection.


    In addition, he also got in touch with Sanqi in St. Kitts and told him what he thought.


    Sanqi��s practice is to give some positive answers��but things must be a little difficult to do. Only when things are difficult will there be hard work. On the surface, it is necessary to review An Feng��s qualifications, which need to be discussed by the parliament. Decide and draw conclusions.


    An Feng knew that it would be enough to donate some money next time.


    Collecting money is also a technical job for a small country. Not everyone who has money can collect money��only those at An Feng��s level will think about it. He is sensible, abides by the rules, and has a deep foundation. He is more worried about secrets being exposed than important government officials. After the impact, that''s why Sanqi will collect money.


    Changing to another one who doesn''t know the background and only has money, they will consider it very carefully.


    After the two things are done, and for safety reasons, he will need bodyguard services for a long time in the future.


    Gu Li very much agrees with An Feng''s sense of urgency, and strongly recommends professional customization. He made a detailed plan based on An Feng''s travel rules and activity venues: the protected targets are An Feng and his wife. Considering the security of female personnel, one or two female bodyguards are needed.


    Female bodyguards may seem like vases, but they are not. In many sensitive places, such as shopping malls, many hijackings take place in locker rooms. If necessary, women can follow female employers. There are also sensitive areas such as toilets, baths, beaches, etc., where male bodyguards are not suitable.


    Considering the issue of information security, we temporarily need a bodyguard who is good at tracking/anti-tracking and privacy protection; two drivers with excellent driving skills and fighting ability; two bodyguards who have been engaged in private security and have good security experience in public places; Consider two more rotations.


    An Feng was surprised when he heard such a high standard: "So many people?"


    Gu Li said very seriously: "You can exclude those who are on duty. In your current situation, you need at least three bodyguards to accompany you. In the normal mode, it is six, and for important occasions, it is eight. In dangerous situations... Aegis Security currently has employees There are 1,800 people, and the Los Angeles branch has 500 people."


    An Feng said without thinking: "Then you can''t drive three sports cars at a time?"


    "Oh." Guli remembered, and added a sentence in the notepad, "Sports cars are not allowed!"


    "What?" An Feng protested, "Then why should I buy them?"


    "Don''t think about sports cars at the moment, just observe half a month later, maybe you can drive in your own area, on the track or something." Gu Li said.


    An Feng leaned back weakly, muttering: "I knew I would have let you stay in Russia."


    Gu Li put away his notebook and smiled: "This is for your safety. If there is any accident, I can''t bear the blame of my wife."


    An Feng faced the reality: "Okay, let''s follow your suggestion. For now, let''s have a simplified package."


    Guli vetoed: "First come to the standard, and then we can form a tacit cooperation."


    An Feng sighed: "It''s up to you."


    ��


    An Feng also saw the news behind him.


    The FBI has indeed changed its head. Although it is acting as an agent, the director''s physical condition is very bad. It is estimated that he will be discharged from the hospital in a relatively complete manner, and he will not be able to continue working in the future. And the whole process looks like an accident, only a few people admire the ingenious implementation plan.


    Afterwards, An Feng also thought deeply, if he encountered such a thing, how should he solve it?


    The answer is not optimistic. He wants to live a relaxed and leisurely life, but no matter where he is, the technology he brings will cause disputes, whether it is the United States or China, he is guilty of it. He is currently tied to interest groups, but his cards are not strong enough.


    Someone is covering him now, and the future is unpredictable. There will always be a loser in the competition, and no one can guarantee whether it will be his turn. If you don''t shoulder heavy responsibilities, failure is nothing more than giving up profits, but it''s not wise to put all your treasures in one place now, and you have to scatter them around.


    The investment he made in the UK is a kind of dispersion, so he has been walking in the right direction. But who doesn''t have a few accidents in life?


    In the final analysis, it was caused by the exoskeleton. Without it, he would not have broken the law or discipline, and would not have been caught at all. Competitors can''t fabricate charges out of thin air, right? After much deliberation, it was not because I passively made a wrong move at the beginning, which led to wrong moves later.


    Fortunately, the influence of the wrong move is finally eliminated.


    Things are back on track, there are no more flaws in his body, and he can continue his career as before. At the same time, pay attention to the development of overseas assets, and then dig a few more holes around the world. It is said that the pit of the Texas hunting ground has already started, and it is a coup to let the robot develop its own robot after it is completed.


    Bazel said it well, he learned from a pitfall, after all, he is still young, and his thinking is not comprehensive enough. If he were to be the boss of another consortium, he would definitely be more careful in his actions when facing the same thing as him. Just like this accident, who can guess which of the drivers was hired?


    The skills of the old treacherous and cunning people are definitely something he looks up to, so An Feng told himself to take it easy and learn. It would be too embarrassing for the core of a consortium to be caught again... Fortunately, the guys were strong enough this time, and they perfectly staged the capabilities of capitalists.


    ��


    An Feng saw his personal bodyguard team behind him.


    There are a total of six standard people. Let��s start with the only woman, her name is Scarlett Clifford, she is in her twenties, she is 170 cm tall, she has short dry black hair, she is thin, and she looks average��beauties can��t be professional bodyguards, what Gu Li wants is not A vase for the boss to see.


    Followed by a privacy and information expert, his name is Sean, he is an unremarkable man in his early thirties, with a medium build and a general appearance, and he will not attract attention in the crowd. According to Guli, in addition to privacy protection, he is also a computer expert, but the value of force is slightly weaker.


    Two capable drivers also made up for the output force of the bodyguards. Both of these guys are over 1.8 meters tall, and their muscles are as hard as steel, but they can''t be seen when they put on clothes. Taciturn, in line with the requirements of a private bodyguard.


    There are also two bodyguards of politicians who have served as celebrities and attended important occasions, and their force value is also high, but the difference from the driver is that they are at the front desk, that is, the kind of cool clothes, and sunglasses are standard. bodyguard. Very familiar with dealing with enthusiastic fans, reporters and the like.


    Two drivers, two bodyguards, a total of four master fighters. The two drivers are relatively low-key, like hidden masters. The two bodyguards are always by my side, except for the sticker on my forehead that I am a bodyguard.


    We have to add another general counsel��Gu Li.


    He needs to observe for a period of time and give a corresponding safety level assessment. The current environment is not very good. The open confrontation with the FBI has ended, but the dispute behind the scenes has not yet ended. Anderson warned that illegal surveillance is not allowed, but the law does not stipulate that it cannot be suspected.


    An Feng remembered that Agent Otto said he would keep an eye on him at all times.


    After introducing the six elites, Guli said to An Feng, "Bruce, they will spend some time with you and your wife."


    An Feng nodded: "Everyone is welcome, please sit down, you can relax in a private setting."


    The bodyguards initially felt that the boss was quite easy to get along with.


    The female bodyguard Scarlett came up and said to Joanna: "Madam, I need some private information from you to adjust my plan. Us?"


    "This way, please." Joanna took her to the study.


    The privacy and information expert picked up his package full of equipment and said to An Feng: "Sir, I need to re-check and set up your information environment here, and it may be necessary to install some anti-monitoring equipment, or implant Some security software, I will report to you one by one."


    "No problem." An Feng nodded. The remaining four bodyguards also need to visit the house and adjust themselves by referring to the plan that Guli provided them.


    After everyone left, An Feng looked at Gu Li: "I thought there was someone I knew."


    Guli shook his head: "They are all private bodyguards, all-weather, long-term nature, and the people you know like Jeff, Mars, and Harry, they rarely work as private bodyguards, they all focus on security tasks, or short-term high-end personnel Security, such as the activities of wealthy foreign businessmen or politicians in the United States, is generally based on a few days or a week, with high replacement frequency and more flexible work."


    "Is it more professional?" An Feng asked.


    "It depends on which aspect you pay attention to." Gu Li said, "If it is confirmed that you will encounter danger, their professional security is stronger, but in a relatively peaceful life like yours, private bodyguards are more able to endure loneliness, and professional Employees are a bit overqualified and a waste of resources."


    "I understand." An Feng understood.

 Chapter 286： Reward order

    Chapter 286 Reward Order


    Guri does not recommend sports cars, but people always have to move. Apart from the sky, the ground obviously needs several cars.


    Brands are almost a no-brainer��Maserati. GP recently completed the acquisition of a 51% stake in Maserati for $4.2 billion and a battery supply agreement with Fiat. It happened during the days when An Feng was being censored, and it was a pity that he didn''t have the opportunity to personally participate.


    He originally had a wide range of choices, such as luxury cars such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche, but now as the boss of Maserati, it is obvious that choosing other brands for the chief car will show that he lacks confidence in Maserati and affect the overall morale, so he can only choose it.


    But he said some conditions, emphasizing that the big president is not the little Ghibli, and the V8 must be the top configuration instead of the V6.


    If the boss is so picky, the employees will only have to work hard.


    ��


    An Feng had nothing to do, so he began to think about electric vehicles.


    Maserati has been obtained, An Feng is thinking about moving it to California. Moving the headquarters directly may cause nostalgia and dissatisfaction among many people. It may be more appropriate to only move the new technology department��also known as the electric vehicle department��to California.


    Moved next to his racing track, Maserati can enjoy a dedicated testing track.


    For the technology research and development of electric vehicles, Anfeng can provide ideas, especially the technology of electric motors, and the new building in San Jose has been completed, Anshi Industry has been listed, and the robot company affiliated to Anshi Industry has also officially settled in, and cooperated with GP A close cooperation agreement was reached.


    Everything was completed when An Feng was locked up in a small dark room. First, the delivery of the racing track, then the establishment of An''s Industry, and finally the racetrack that was ready to be completed. Joanna has already arranged for her assistant John to handle things properly. At the same time, he emptied his bank account.


    Back to the electric body. Due to the emergence of GP, pure electric vehicles have changed from the future to the current priority. All major automobile groups in the world are hurrying to develop electric vehicles. They should have slowly transitioned from hybrid to pure electric vehicles, but now they are directly discarded and jumped to the pure electric field.


    If you don��t hurry up now, you will regret it later. Brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW will release corresponding pure electric models next year. Volkswagen, which has seized the opportunity, is launching pure electric models. At the same time, it is paying close attention to the construction of super charging stations.


    After Maserati left Fiat, it can''t be delayed either.


    The traditional department stays in Italy, and the new department is best moved to California. Ans Industries, which is more sophisticated in technology, will provide them with more help, and it is so close to GP, so it is more convenient to inspect and use super batteries. There is even a professional test track.


    The conditions in California are very favorable. An Feng communicated with Holly to express his thoughts.


    The executives of GP also have the idea of ??moving Maserati to the United States, but they are considering the headquarters, which is a bit controversial. An Feng only considers the pure electric department. After getting the intention of the big boss, Hawley also agrees with this idea , ready to use Shang Fang''s sword to chop people.


    Hang up the call with Holly, An Feng continued to think about other things.


    At this time, Gu Li came over, and he handed a USB flash drive to An Feng, An Feng inserted it into the Sanwu notebook��this is DIY in consideration of safety, using a certain brand of molds, and other spare parts to the GP company Installed by a technical man, it should be the strongest notebook at present.


    The most important thing is the anti-spyware inside, which is updated regularly, which can effectively prevent monitoring or monitoring... An Feng doesn''t care, and he has nothing to leak now. Gu Li asked him to click on the file inside, and explained: "A group of people are currently monitoring us."


    "Anything else?" An Feng was surprised, your bureau chief went in, and there are still thorns?


    ��They only watched, without taking any pictures, recordings or other forms of infringing privacy. I asked the police to check several times, but it didn��t work.��


    An Feng looked at the video and pressed pause: "I have seen this person, the agent who interrogated me last time."


    Guri remembered this face. He said: "This person has appeared several times, but they are all reasonable and legal. We have no way to prevent them from doing so."


    "A group of flies!" An Feng picked up his mobile phone and called a senator he knew well.


    An Feng told about the FBI surveillance, contacted the acting director, and then gave a reply.


    "This person has not been appointed by the headquarters, and the director doesn''t care about him. They are not all the way, and neither are we, so he is a marginalized figure. According to the data, he is a bit idealistic and white, and has a little connection with the Los Angeles branch. , a dispensable role."


    "Okay, I''ll handle it myself." An Feng said. I didn''t expect to run into a stunned young man. I guess the last time the FBI tricked him into being a gunman!


    ��


    A few days later, An Feng''s "President" arrived.


    In order to cater to the theme, the two presidents are dignified and serious black models, and black film is pasted on the rear row, which is different from the car window film that is popular everywhere in China. No one can see what''s going on inside.


    The car and bodyguards are all complete, and it needs to be adjusted.


    According to the standard to go to Liangsao, the choice of the front and rear cars for the two VIPs is random, and the bodyguard rides are also random. This time An Feng and Joanna sat in the back row, the driver and the female bodyguard Scarlett were in the front row, the car started first, followed by the bodyguard car that could act as a backup at any time.


    Scarlett explained the actions of the bodyguards: "According to the habits and preferences of the employer, we are adjusting the way the team cooperates to achieve the best efficiency."


    "So that''s how it is." Joanna said, she naturally didn''t understand the knowledge of bodyguards, and Scarlett''s simple explanation made her understand the truth of every detail.


    An Feng was very satisfied with Scarlett''s performance. The group of taciturn and accompanying bodyguards was very monotonous. Although he didn''t mind, Joanna was not used to it. Scarlett was very good at observing words and expressions, occasionally saying a few words to adjust the atmosphere, or Chat with Joanna about the weather or something.


    Arriving at the racecourse, the bodyguards accompanied the employer into the private area with specially customized equestrian equipment. Recently, a few new horses have been added, and a shady indoor training ground has been specially set up, so that they don''t have to be exposed to the sun. An Feng likes to come here to train his equestrian skills.


    While they were relaxing, Gu Li found that each other was haunting each other like a ghost.


    Sean walked back and said: "They have been staying around, but because it is a private area, they can''t approach here without authorization."


    "Look at them," Guri said.


    An Feng and Joanna didn''t leave until the afternoon, and sent them back in a standard formation. Gu Li looked around and found that flies were everywhere.


    During the break before dinner, he and Sean discuss the implications of this.


    "Can''t get anything, just wasting manpower and material resources like this?" Gu Li couldn''t figure it out, there are people so persistent?


    Sean didn��t understand either. He picked up the binoculars and looked at the changing vehicles down the mountain. This group of people was very patient and followed them all the time, but they didn��t keep it legal.


    "Unless they can use other high-tech." Gu Li said.


    "High technology?" Sean looked back at him, "Maybe there are some things we don''t know yet... Have you heard of laser wiretapping?"


    Gu Li suddenly realized: "I actually forgot this!"


    "Let''s go to the side!" Sean said.


    The two of them came to the side of An Feng and Joanna''s residence, and then looked down the mountain. This position is just right. If the other party observes through the aircraft in advance, after positioning, they will shoot the laser on the glass of the room where the monitor is located to receive the reflection. Signal, and then conduct photoelectric detection, and restore the sound signal through amplification, filtering, power amplification and other steps, and the sound can be directly monitored.


    "It is estimated that they are listening." Sean guessed.


    Guri thought for a while, pulled him back, and said to the miniature microphone in his collar: "Don''t talk indoors now, gather in the yard!"


    Soon, five bodyguards gathered in the yard.


    Gu Li pointed to the road below: "The other party is likely to use laser bugs, so we need to go down from another direction, surround them, and seize the current situation. Only with witnesses and material evidence can we sue them through legal channels! The other party is the FBI, please pay attention Bring arms!"


    After the bodyguards understood, they acted separately.


    But the other party was obviously more vigilant. When the bodyguards went down the mountain, they discovered something was wrong, and immediately started the car to leave, leaving them empty-handed.


    After returning, Gu Li told An Feng about the matter.


    An Feng wondered: "What else does he want from me?"


    Guri asked, "Do you have anything else?"


    "Absolutely not!" An Feng shook his head, except for the exoskeleton, nothing else violated the laws made by the Americans.


    "Maybe they think there is," Gurley said.


    An Feng thought of it: "Last time, the agent said that I was related to some messy documents. If he wanted me to tell the whereabouts, I must have been fooled."


    "Maybe," Guri said.


    "Is there any way to get rid of them?" An Feng asked. Although he knew that the most sensitive people would definitely receive attention, the aboveboard surveillance was too condescending. Especially when Otto had told him that he would find a chance to catch him again. Young hero is so confident!


    Guri said: "There is a way."


    "Tell me." An Feng was too annoyed by these flies.


    Guri said: "We have no evidence to move him on the surface, but there are a group of people in this world who specialize in things that the law can''t do well."


    "Oh, I understand." An Feng nodded, "How much is this kind of spy chief?"


    Guri thought for a while, and said: "It is a sensitive moment for the FBI. It is not recommended to make things big, but it is still possible to teach a little lesson."


    "Like breaking his leg?" An Feng asked, and he didn''t want to kill anyone.


    "This is fine." Gu Li said.


    "How much do you think you need?" An Feng asked, he didn''t understand the market either.


    "For a person like him, it is estimated that the price will be higher, around two million."


    "Three million, break his leg." An Feng said, "Warn him not to go too far in this matter, otherwise I will spend 10 million to reward his life."


    Guri said: "I''ll make arrangements."

 Chapter 287： armistice

    Chapter 287 Armistice


    According to Guli, with the current market, taking one life for three million is more appropriate, so the price is very generous. They don��t care if you are the FBI or the CIA. They first evaluate the person, comprehensive risk factor, and then compare the price. As long as the profit is huge , a lot of people will take the risk.


    Guri contacted through an international intermediary, and the condition was to break one leg and lie in the hospital for at least two months.


    The other party was very happy and promised to send back the action video of the fighting process when the task was completed. Then, through the secret operation of the overseas account, Hollandeke helped him transfer the money to another dead person''s account, and then transferred the dead person''s account to an international intermediary. He first charged a 10% deposit.


    As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet? The FBI is no exception. They are just a little sharper than ordinary people, but they are not the unbeatable protagonists in the movies, nor are they 007 who save themselves from danger and help noble people. Agents are human too, so there will be omissions.


    One night, Otto was invited to a bar by a secret contact.


    Although the matter came suddenly, the information the contact person gave him was about the surveillance case, which was very important.


    In An Feng''s case, Otto knew that he hired someone to kill the witness, which also proved that his espionage was true. Otto, who is severely white, cannot tolerate it.


    Especially after knowing An Feng''s profound family background, he was even more displeased that a man of yellow race lived so chic and enjoyed such a luxurious life on American soil. There is a deeper conspiracy as well.


    He applied for an extension of the verification time, and the superior who was supposed to stop the investigation, went to the hospital this time and changed an agent, but happened to not find this application, so it became the default state, neither denying nor allowing, O Thor gave free rein to his full justice.


    So he brought his own operation team to monitor this guy.


    After a week, there was no evidence of illegal crimes, but he saw the horrible background of this person. In just a few days, he saw congressmen, governors, presidents and other heavyweights. He couldn''t get close due to strict security conditions, but could speculate about their relationship.


    Some colleagues started to retreat after learning about the backer of this Chinese American. Although they received special orders, they felt powerless in the face of the power as high as the mountain and the wealth filling the sea. The appearance of big figures who are not usually seen one after another means that this guy can''t chew at all.


    Otto''s team has been divided, and even he himself is not sure what the results of the investigation will be... He admits that facing the group of power and bureaucrats behind him, he also has a sense of powerlessness and fear that he doesn''t want to admit. Feng, without involving other people''s good wishes.


    The fact must be that as long as he touches An Feng, others will skin him and cramp him. The director who was admitted to the hospital due to an "accident" is a living example, violating the interests of this group of capitalists, they dare to do anything, under such circumstances, is he capable of continuing?


    So when the contact person approached him, he wanted to confirm the approval of his superiors on the action, and on the other hand...he also wanted to find a way to get off. The meeting time was relatively late, and the nearby parking lot was full. He parked near the bar, crossed the road, and walked towards the small bar tens of meters away.


    At this time, he keenly felt that a big man with a bad face was coming towards him, and the target was him.


    Professional vigilance made him touch the pistol at his waist quietly.


    Before the man in front of him got in front of Otto, he was suddenly stabbed in the back, and the high-voltage current spread throughout his body. Then, he saw a big man with a kerchief covering his mouth coming in the night, stepping on his struggling hand, another guy took out his pistol, he wanted to resist, but he couldn''t do anything, and his mind was filled with complex fears .


    The middle-sized man holding the electric baton said in a voice distorted by the voice changer: "Samuel Otto, senior FBI agent, isn''t that right?"


    Otto didn''t move.


    The big man said: "We are here to warn you, stop this matter, or you will never say goodbye to your wife and daughter next time!"


    After the two of them finished talking, they pulled one of his legs out neatly and put it on the curb. The big man lifted his foot, and the sole of his shoe stepped heavily on his leg joints. With a thud, a strange twist occurred at the joint where the calf connected to the thigh. , Shouts came from Otto''s mouth.


    "Remember what I said!" The middle man kicked him a few times, removed the pistol magazine and threw it aside, and a black car stopped beside them in lightning.


    The two continued to beat him, and when they were about to leave, they stepped on his leg joints again. Otto almost gritted his teeth. The two sneered, turned and got into the car, and the car quickly disappeared into the night. The whole process of beating people was orderly and took more than two minutes.


    Otto struggled in pain and hummed in an attempt to attract the attention of the surrounding people. Just now he saw someone nearby, but everyone was afraid of these two vicious guys. How dare they come over? At most, they helped call 911, and some people even hurried away as if they didn''t see it.


    About ten minutes later, a police car arrived late.


    Otto almost fainted from the pain, and the police were still slowly calling the ambulance. During the waiting time, he finally couldn''t bear to faint.


    ��


    the next day.


    An Feng is still relaxing at the racetrack with Joanna, and the equestrian training is persistent.


    During the noon break, Gu Li came over and whispered something in his ear: "The matter has been settled, I checked the video for you, it is excellent!"


    "Okay." An Feng nodded.


    "The rest of the balance payment will be remitted by the afternoon." After Gu Li finished speaking, he left automatically.


    An Feng returned to the dining table and sat down, Joanna asked, "What''s so happy?"


    "Business negotiation." An Feng said with a smile, raised his glass and touched her, "Let''s celebrate!"


    After lunch, Hansen, the manager of the racetrack, chatted with him.


    Hansen said: "The current racecourse is too empty. Sir, you want to develop it into a private racecourse. Although the model of only accepting members is good, the venue is too large and has not been used reasonably. Considering the operating cost, the additional Some revenue generation would be more appropriate."


    "What do you think should be done?" An Feng knew nothing about these things.


    "My suggestion is that if the private club is the main one, set up an open day only for members, and use other free time for horse racing activities, or some professional equestrian training courses. I have investigated, and the surrounding residents Still very interested."


    An Feng also learned that horse racing is a legal gambling activity in the United States. In fact, it has the same nature as the lottery. It is especially popular in all parts of the United States. Not only people in big cities like to play, but also in some surrounding counties and towns. , but there is no suitable place.


    The location of Anfeng Racecourse is good, and SLO is also a relatively affluent area, which still has a bright future.


    Joanna also agrees: "I like this suggestion. We don''t use the racetrack all the time, and it is too big, and the annual maintenance cost is very high. If there are other projects to generate income and bear some maintenance costs for the racecourse, it will It''s the best choice."


    She also agreed, and An Feng only echoed: "Of course. Hansen, you are responsible for this plan. If it works, you will be credited!"


    Hansen nodded: "No problem, sir!"


    ��


    After getting off the car and training the horse, An Feng returned.


    The two presidents are very impressive. Although they are four-door sedans, the performance of the V8 version is comparable to that of a sports car. It can accelerate from 100 kilometers in 4.7 seconds, and the top speed has broken through to 307 kilometers per hour. The power is sufficient, but Anfeng mainly As a passenger, the back row is what he considers.


    As the boss of Maserati, he experienced it very carefully and wrote down suggestions for improvement.


    As a luxury model that competes with Mercedes-Benz S600 and BMW 760, in terms of appearance, compared with the standard Mercedes-Benz and BMW, the president is more fashionable and sporty, which is why Maserati is favored. As for the interior space, it feels that the president is still a little behind.


    Regardless of the front row, the driving experience is considered by the driver. It is like a sports car, and it is very exciting to drive. The rear is a bit wider than average, with plenty of legroom, but there''s no rear LCD screen or laptop tray, and the seats are heated and ventilated, not massage.


    The central armrest can be pulled up to allow a third person to sit in the rear row, but the posture and space are very awkward. Generally, it is better to put it down and use it as an armrest. Only the electric curtains are telling people that it is also a luxury car. Therefore, the luxury of the back row is not as good as that of the front two.


    An Feng thinks that Maserati has to improve in the electric model, adding luxury configuration, and considering its consumer group, as a successful person, it must be luxurious in appearance, LCD screen, seat massage, car refrigerator It will be more high-end and face-saving.


    If it is pure electric, then add some high technology, such as automatic parking technology, vehicle departure warning, active braking, active steering, night vision system, none of which are equipped by the president. Maybe it is not as high-tech as Mercedes-Benz, but GP and Ans Industries can make up for it.


    An Feng wrote these down and prepared to give them to his assistant the next time he went to Texas.


    The next two days remained calm, and the group of flies staring at him finally disappeared. According to Gu Li''s investigation, the hotel they lived in has been checked out, the building is empty, and there are no more lost strangers around the winery , but if there is any more, they will be in trouble.


    Because An Feng sent Xiaobai out as a patrol dog.


    While he was waiting for the other party''s next move, an email was sent to his private mailbox.


    Written by an anonymous person, but judging from the content, the tone of the discussion is very similar to Otto''s side. They proposed a cease-fire between the two sides, and the matter was exposed. Everyone backed down a step, and no longer pursued the previous enmity.


    An Feng is kind by nature, not because he is cruel, but because his opponents are bullying too much. Now they took the initiative to apologize and surrender, and he also broke one of the other''s legs. He could not stay in the hospital for a few months.


    So he replied: Agreed, let''s stop the war.

 Chapter 288： high tech

    Chapter 288 High Technology


    The letter is sent, and the series of events caused by the exoskeleton comes to an end. As long as An Feng does not touch sensitive information in the future, the president endorses his responsibility, and he is about to obtain the status of a diplomatic representative, it will be very difficult for law enforcement agencies to attack him.


    Turn off the computer, stretch yourself to the backyard. The weather was fine, and under the shade of the trees by the pool, Joanna, who was relaxing in the afternoon, was sleeping on a deck chair, holding a book in her hand, and gently scratching Xiao Bai''s body with the other hand. Xiaobai squinted his eyes comfortably on the ground, wagging his tail from time to time.


    "Come here!" An Feng clapped his hands, Xiaobai opened his eyes, after all, he was still young and lively, his playfulness remained unchanged, when he saw An Feng teasing it, he jumped towards it enthusiastically, An Feng hugged the big The girl took a few steps back. It is now one year old and weighs more than 100 kilograms.


    It stands more than one meter tall, with very beautiful yellow and black stripes. An Feng is holding arms as thick as his calves, and his head is on top of it. It just took a bath yesterday, and it smells like a clean mother. Tiger. Xiao Bai liked this kind of intimacy very much, and lowered his head to lick him.


    "Hey hey! Stop!" An Feng dodged its tongue, bared its teeth and rubbed its big tabby cat''s head, and Xiao Bai foolishly quarreled with him.


    But being pressed by it was really heavy, An Feng patted its waist and said, "Go find your mother!"


    Xiao Bai fell to the ground, turned around and ran towards Joanna.


    Joanna took off her sunglasses, looked at Xiaobai who was walking towards her, and touched it: "It feels like it has grown from a kitten in its arms to this in a blink of an eye."


    "It''s always about growing up." An Feng sat beside her, took a few sips from the remaining half of Bi Da, and Joanna pinched him: "You''ve finished it!"


    "Do you have to worry about me?" An Feng handed the bottle to her innocently, feeling that he was worthless.


    Joanna stretched her head over to offer a kiss, leaving a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth: "Is this okay?"


    "It''s okay." An Feng smiled and stretched out his hand: "Get me some sunscreen."


    Joanna handed him the bottle: "Put on the primer first, the ultraviolet rays are very strong now."


    An Feng took the bottle, squeezed a little on the palm of his hand, and asked casually, "Didn''t you recommend elite graduates to me last time, how are you doing now?"


    "The three of them all worked in Anshi Industries, starting from internships." Joanna said. Not everyone is like her, who concentrates on being a rich wife after graduation. The employment rate in the United States is not high, and the pressure on college graduates is still quite high, but famous colleges are popular.


    "Only three?" An Feng asked. Joanna naturally would not recommend ordinary characters, especially the sorority she belongs to is very famous in UCB and is known as the "elite club". up.


    "I want to find more, but everyone is still a little cautious about new companies." Joanna said.


    "When I have time tomorrow, I''ll go see how the company is doing." An Feng said. He hasn''t visited the new building until now.


    "I''ll go too!" Joanna raised her hand, "I can give you a lot of advice."


    "OK."


    ��


    The next day the helicopter departs.


    The distance of more than 200 kilometers, the fixed-wing sky flight arrived in ten minutes, but the take-off and landing procedures were several times longer than the flight time. On the contrary, the helicopter is more time-saving and can start and stop at any time. The company also has a dedicated apron for free travel. In the end, choose the most convenient one.


    Only Gu Li and Scarlett accompanied the departure this time.


    With the end of the security incident, Sean has increased the privacy factor. In addition, the company has provided a batch of excellent security equipment. Anfeng''s information is highly confidential, and personal safety is not a problem. According to his idea, the size of two drivers and one female bodyguard is just right.


    An hour later, the plane came over Silicon Valley, that is, Santa Clara County, where world-renowned large companies and countless unknown small and medium-sized enterprises gathered. Anfeng''s new company is not located in the city center, but there are parking lots all around, and there are many big companies.


    The building can be seen through the porthole from a distance. It is located beside the highway that crosses the city. Its appearance is not as unconventional as that of GP. Twelve floors, a long row, but not "inline", it turns back from the center point, fan-shaped, with a small angle, so it can be seen clearly in the air.


    Next to the company building is a huge parking building. The top floor is mostly used for parking helicopters. Go down and move your hands and feet.


    Finally, Fred parked the plane easily on the second-floor parking lot.


    Several people got off the plane and walked a hundred meters to the company building. Although the right part of the building is still being renovated, 85% of the building has been completed. The left area and all the first, second and third floors are in normal use. It imitates the characteristics of GP company, clean and tidy.


    Assistant John was waiting on time, and when he saw An Feng coming, he stepped forward.


    The building is currently the office and research and development place of Ans Industry and its subsidiaries. The safety standard is very high. The building is designed according to the safety consultant and has special areas, such as the confidential area that accommodates large safes. The fourth to sixth floors are traditional office areas, and the upper six floors are experimental areas.


    High technology is also reflected in every corner, including advanced face recognition, retinal scanning, multiple voice-activated services, etc. Even in the office building, the cloud computing network has been covered. As long as it is connected to the internal network, the device will get The processing speed of a supercomputer.


    The company''s server and computer department is located on the eleventh floor. The computer uses the "Aris" type computer specially provided by GP Company, which is a little different from that of the research center. As a computer used by a high-tech company, it has higher performance requirements, so it has more processing units.


    Aris in the Research Center has only three units with a total weight of three tons. And the Ares here has the same structure in the unit, but it has been expanded to nine groups, and the frequency of each chip has been increased by 60%. Under the same structural system, its calculation speed is close to 5000 trillion times per chip. Second.


    Such powerful performance is enough to cope with the high-speed computing of the entire building, and even faces the situation of excess performance. Therefore, in general, in order to save energy and reduce heat dissipation, the frequency of the chip will be reduced, and it will reach the standard frequency only when it is used intensively.


    When they visited the enhanced version of Ares in the computer room, Hoffman was hiding in the corner and tinkering. Seeing An Feng coming, he couldn''t wait to tell them the benefits of cloud computing and how much time was saved in machine design. Be sure to keep this item as such.


    An Feng assured him: "We will definitely keep these technologies."


    Hoffman was relieved. The machine experts also knew a lot about the computer. He introduced to them the maintenance work of the machine room and the operation of each processing unit. Due to the low calorific value of graphene, all the units are air-cooled. Heat dissipation mode saves energy.


    After walking around, Hoffman will take them to see more high-end ones.


    An Feng already vaguely knew about it.


    In the special meeting room on the twelfth floor, Hoffman groped skillfully and found a touch panel. After opening it, there was a two-dimensional hologram, that is, the style of direct operation in the air. With a fingertip, he clicked on the image, and the room suddenly darkened.


    Hoffman explained: "Holographic projection requires a darker environment than the outside world."


    Several beams of light appeared in the center of the conference room, and soon formed a holographic three-dimensional projection of a man. The image was directly formed by the light in the air, and then the man walked towards them, and different bodies could be seen from different angles The details are so clear that it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.


    An Feng stretched out his hand to touch it, and his fingers passed through without hindrance. When he looked closely, he found that even the mole on this person''s body and the light beard on his chin could be seen clearly. Is false, it can pass off as a real person.


    Joanna asked: "Is it a holographic three-dimensional technology projected directly in the air?"


    "That''s right, look carefully at the floor under your feet, it is specially made." An Feng said, everyone looked down at their feet, it was not floor tiles.


    As the person who brought the technology, An Feng is obviously clearer than anyone else: "In addition to imaging, it also has the function of communication. When we stand in the holographic conference room, we can send any object that is active or inactive here. signature collection, and communication with other regions."


    Hoffman nodded: "Yes, now we have formed a connection with the GP company in Austin, and we can hold a holographic meeting at any time."


    "Please show." An Feng said.


    "Wait a minute." After Hoffman confirmed the network connection, he pressed his finger lightly, and a crowd composed of light and shadow rays appeared on the opposite side. Illusion, turned into a picture that is no different from real people now.


    An Feng looked at the people standing opposite, and said hello: "Hey, everyone, is this technology okay?"


    Song Wenrui admired: "When I was studying in California, I also saw a lot of holographic projection technologies, but none of them was as real and clear as it is now."


    "You can come over." An Feng said.


    Song Wenrui walked towards them, the distance between him and everyone became closer, and the details on his body became clearer. It is worth mentioning that due to the reality of the virtual reality, when Song Wenrui came, he deliberately avoided the chair blocking him on the road��in fact, it was just a projection, not a real existence.


    Song Wenrui said while walking: "This detail is really amazing!"


    Not only him, but people on both sides are walking around, thousands of miles apart, but now they stand together in a wonderful way, speaking and doing things, even the expression is very clear, except that they can''t touch each other - this is the only Telling them that reality is evidence of fiction.


    Hoffman said to the two groups of people in reality and virtual: "One of the main reasons for the clear image is that there are supercomputers rendering and retouching. If you use ordinary machines, its image quality will drop by several orders of magnitude. For example, now Like that." Hoffman lowered the bar.


    The quality of the holographic image is indeed declining. It may be adapted to the previous ultra-high-definition, and now it is a bit blurry to see the other party. But it is not easy to tell the truth from the fake, unless a real person and a virtual person stand side by side for comparison, and everyone can react within a few seconds.


    Hoffman said: "In this quality mode, the bandwidth it needs to transmit information will be reduced a lot, which can meet the network speed of general enterprise users. If it is reduced by several orders of magnitude, there will be the help of graphene processors and graphics chips. , it can popularize mass families.��


    The image quality is reduced again. This time, the naked eye can see that it is virtual, and the sense of reality has returned.


    An Feng said to everyone: "Welcome back to reality!"

    Anfeng regards the company as a technology base, where industrial technologies other than biology and computers can be developed as long as necessary. The development of holographic projection mainly embodies advanced and high-end, and another purpose is to confuse the line of sight��he wants to virtualize non-existent characters.


    Industrial coverage is too wide, and it is too scary to teach in one''s own capacity every time. As far as the current titles of multiple technical geniuses are enough, there is no need to develop to the point of "omnipotent". So he needs virtual dummies to do his job.


    Guri holographic projection is very interested, he asked: "Just now the lowest level of data transmission, how much bandwidth does it need?"


    This is also a question for everyone. Obviously, the popularization of this technology will lead to video innovation. Hoffman replied: "According to my test, if you narrow the scope and only project characters, the data generated per second is equivalent to online high-definition movies. A lot of families can use it."


    "It can be installed in the office in a miniaturized manner, so it doesn''t need such a complicated design?"


    "No problem." Hoffman nodded, "However, the level of home hardware is restricted, and more advanced graphics are difficult."


    Miniaturized holographic technology is not difficult, and its promotion is promising, such as holographic movies, stage performances, or communications with high image requirements. It''s like a technical explanation that is far away. If voice communication or images are not enough, the all-round holographic projection can make up for it.


    After the visit, continue to other floors.


    At present, the company has hired several professional managers to temporarily manage the operation of the company. John is also responsible for supervising the work. He will make appointments and dismissals based on future performance. All aspects of the company are in order. Very adaptable to the environment.


    After visiting in the morning, lunch is also settled in the company.


    What to eat for lunch? It is something that many office workers think about, including Anfeng before. At the beginning, he was very envious of those foreign companies, especially Google''s star restaurants, bright and fresh environment, delicious food from all over the world, the flavor changes in rotation, and the average weight gain every year 5 lbs.


    Although there is no Google''s exaggerated corporate culture of "There must be food within ten meters", considering the nature of the company, sleepless nights and food are more frequent, and it is obviously impossible to stop working on projects at critical moments. For example, Hoffman''s robotics department, which developed When the machine is in operation, three meals are usually given at random. In the old days of the warehouse, the meals were delivered around the clock, which was inconvenient and unpalatable. Now it has been reformed.


    There are company restaurants on the first and second floors of the building, which are self-service, and there is a leisure area on the fifth floor, which provides afternoon meals such as desserts and coffee. This time it was lunch, so Joanna decided to go to the restaurant on the second floor. In addition to the restaurant, there are some departments with frequent activities on the second floor.


    The restaurant is located on the left, with a delicate and fresh layout, a bit like a cafeteria in a star hotel. The new building has only been in use for two weeks, but there are a lot of people at lunch time, most of them are newcomers, of all ages, and you can hear many voices saying hello and introducing each other.


    There are also some old acquaintances. The technical geeks from the robot company have shown up frequently, and they greet An Feng consciously. They are very impressed with this boss. He is super rich, but he has a good temper and is easy to get along with. During non-working hours, the old employees are very cheerful towards him.


    He also took the plate, and went down to get food under the attention of everyone��two bodyguards beside him, an assistant to the boss, and a project manager. Everyone knew that this was an important person in the company. Some of them will even say hello, making their faces familiar.


    An Feng also met a familiar girl: "Hi, Daisy!"


    Daisy, who was picking up the meal, turned around and found that it was him. She looked at Joanna again and said in surprise, "Nice to meet you!"


    "Me too!" Joanna put down the plate and went to hug her best friend.


    Daisy complained: "Why didn''t you tell me in advance?"


    "I''m here to supervise the work." Joanna joked, and introduced Daisy to several others. As a master''s student in a prestigious university, she came here for the management. Although she is currently in the internship stage, her strength lies in her , Internship is a middle-level management position, and the salary is not low.


    At present, the company is very short of people, but anyone with ability and potential will be entrusted with important tasks. This is an incentive and a way to run quickly. If you can''t do it in the future, you can change it a little bit. First, give a platform for display and leave opportunities Fighting for them can easily inspire fighting spirit.


    After taking the meal, sit down and chat together.


    Joanna and Daisy talked a lot. Daisy kept talking about the company''s knowledge, and Joanna wanted to make up for the lack of being a small leader. Because in the future, she will not have the treatment of an office worker, and if she has one, she will be a director, the chairman''s wife, and other top-level ones.


    Listening to them talking about new things and knowledge, although the company is short of people, due to the professional nature, what is lacking is technical personnel. There are requirements for the profession, and not everyone is competent, so the replenishment speed is not fast. However, other procurement, finance, human resources and other departments are all in place.


    An Feng understands that technicians are the most difficult to find.


    After lunch, Joanna and Daisy went to work to be addicted to being OL... An Feng would not gossip with them, so he went back to his office, let others do whatever he wanted, sorted out some files by himself, and used Ari through the LAN Well, store some data on the server.


    I had a small meeting with several managers of the company and shared some of my thoughts. In the afternoon, the day''s work came to an end. I said goodbye to a few friends. Like a New York tycoon, I boarded the plane and left, looking down. There is a sense of triumph in the traffic-clogged streets.


    The fly in the ointment is that I am used to the speed of business jets, but now it is a bit slow and there are not enough seats. Although it is enough for a standard three-person bodyguard team, the space is very crowded. It is impossible to bring more suitcases. An Feng thought about it Retire it and replace it with a bigger one.


    An Feng talked to Gu Li on the plane, and then asked: "Do you have any recommendations?"


    Guli has learned how to pilot a helicopter and is very familiar with aircraft, so he had an idea in his head: "According to your situation, a single engine is no longer enough. Choosing a medium-sized aircraft with multiple engines will improve both the range and power, speed and space. It can also be balanced, which is very good.��


    "Model?" An Feng asked, he naturally knew the benefits of multiple engines, but with so many brands on the market, which one to choose is the key.


    Guli recommended: "You can consider Bell''s brand. Bell 412 is known as the medium-sized helicopter with the best performance in the air. It is highly adaptable and has 14 seats. After reducing the seats, the space will be very spacious. Because of its excellent performance, it is also used in in the armies of some countries."


    "Let me see." An Feng picked up the phone.


    After he inquired, he learned that the Bell 412 has a great reputation and can be called the most cost-effective medium-sized aircraft. Due to its outstanding adaptability, it is mostly used in military, search and rescue or harsh environments, conquering snow-capped mountains, crossing deserts, and slightly modified After the cockpit, it can also become a very comfortable luxury machine.


    But it is not outstanding in terms of maneuverability. Its maximum cruising speed is only 224 kilometers per hour, which is slower than the current single-engine aircraft. Although the army pursues reliability, the rich pursue time is money, so it is natural to change the aircraft according to their wishes. , slower than now.


    After Joanna graduated, her main place of residence should be a vineyard. There are many friends around her, and she is also close to her parents. Children from nearby and domestic will come to play. Therefore, Anfeng will still run in San Francisco or Los Angeles in the future. The straight line on both sides is more than 200 kilometers, and it is inconvenient to take off and land with fixed wings.


    So the helicopter is fast enough to not waste time while being comfortable.


    Guri recommended several popular mid-sized models to him.


    In the end, he was optimistic about a medium-sized aircraft from Agust Wittland: AW139, which is said to be a fast, low-noise, large and safe helicopter. The space is twice as large as it is now, and it is quieter and luxuriously modified Very professional and can accommodate up to 15 people.


    It is particularly outstanding in speed. With twin engines, its maximum cruising speed reaches 307 kilometers per hour. It only takes 40 minutes to fly from home to San Jose and 50 minutes to Los Angeles. After adding a spare fuel tank, its The longest range can reach 1060 kilometers.


    It also uses a fully integrated avionics system, automatic flight control system and a large flat-panel color display in the cockpit. The integrated cockpit features state-of-the-art technology that minimizes pilot workload, allowing them to focus more on operational objectives.


    It is comfortable, fast, and its use covers transportation, police and search and rescue. It proves that its performance and safety are also very reliable. Anfeng has also seen other customers'' modifications to the cockpit, such as LCD screens, multimedia speakers, and satellite broadcasting that helicopters do not have. , refrigerators can be equipped.


    An Feng liked it when he saw it, and after discussing with Joanna, he decided to have it.


    It��s just that the price of pursuing luxury is a bit high. From purchase to modification, it needs at least 18 million US dollars. This cost is almost enough to buy a business jet, and it is 60% more expensive than the Bell 412 that I was looking at earlier, but that��s what I said , as long as you like it, not to mention that it is in stock.


    An Feng made an appointment to see the plane. The plane is not small, and the stock is a standard version with 15 seats. Obviously, it does not meet the various luxury VIPs he needs. The account manager understands the psychology of the rich, and almost always has a modified model with him. The choice, as long as it can be installed, is unambiguous.


    Finally, An Feng pointed: Demolition!


    The two driver''s seats are standard and cannot be disassembled, but all the unsightly seats in the cockpit are replaced with a single-row four-seater with their backs facing the forward direction, and two VIP seats in the forward direction, which are spacious and comfortable, with armrests, Cup holders and a small refrigerator, you can look up and see the display above the row of seats.


    After the cockpit is widened, the sitting mode will leave a very spacious legroom, and a table can be added in the middle. If not, it is very easy to lie two tigers side by side, which is pleasing in terms of space. An Feng considers that the table is of little significance , the requirements for carrying people and goods are relatively high, so I didn''t choose it. In the end, the plan was established. Although compared with the original Bell 407, there was only one more seat, but An Feng, seeing the benefits, completely forgot.


    He finalized this model, took it out of stock and modified it, and it was expected to be delivered in one month.

 Chapter 290： amoeba

    Chapter 290 Amoeba


    After ordering a new car, An Feng considered disposing of the old car.


    Car nostalgia can be left in the garage to look at it a few times a day, but the maintenance cost of the aircraft is too high, and the parking fee alone is burning money. Even if An Feng has money, he has to spend it on what he wants. He doesn''t mind burning money, because he will need it when he goes out.


    Currently he has three business jets and one helicopter. There are obviously too many business jets, and he can''t use them a few times a month when they are not busy. After weighing, I decided to keep the Gulfstream G650ER and Global 8000, the original Cynas Citation X, and change hands, it is still worth some money.


    After the new helicopter is in hand, he will also sell this order. The money from selling the business jet and helicopter should be able to fill the vacancy of buying a new helicopter. In this way, he can make ends meet, which is quite a good deal. Joanna agrees, there''s no need to keep planes you don''t need.


    Two days later, technicians came to the house, all employees of GP company. They brought minicomputers and holographic imaging equipment, and they were going to renovate his study to realize holographic projection communication within the range of ten square meters. Attend meetings without leaving your home.


    For high-end home-use holographic equipment, the image quality that Anfeng wants is the second level shown by Hoffman last time. Although the first level is fake, but the requirements are too high in all aspects, it is not suitable. The second is easy, and there are two requirements : A computer that takes care of graphics rendering; a sufficiently fast network.


    As far as the current computer is moved, it uses 24 CPUs and 8 professional graphics processors, all of which are the crystallization of graphene technology. The frequency of a single chip is five times that of Ares, so it uses water cooling to dissipate heat, but the full load power consumption is also low. But slightly higher than an air conditioner.


    There is also the bandwidth of access. Anfeng uses enterprise-level 1000Mbps, which is reserved for nerds. Basically, it takes more than ten seconds for a movie, provided that the writing speed of the hard disk can keep up, but the custom-made computer is equipped with the best Storage hardware can be ten times faster.


    After the installation of the holographic communication room was completed and the range was adjusted to cover his desk, An Feng couldn''t wait to test the world''s first private holographic communication. The target of the connection was the conference room of Ans Industries, where several employees were involved in the commissioning work.


    The room darkened, and the lights and shadows flickered and intersected. In the holographic communication area, several employees appeared. The company''s office could not be seen completely, because the area of ??the office was much larger than here. According to the normal proportion of projection, he could only accept the corresponding area. But the image is clear.


    Anfeng''s requirements are not high, and his own communication area of ??10 square meters is enough, and he is not a company, so it does not make much sense to use large-area projection equipment. After the test, he communicated with the GP company in Texas, and took the time to have a small meeting with the CEO to discuss Maserati.


    Hawley sat in front of An Feng''s desk, the two faced each other, and could not feel the difference.


    Hawley has adapted to the impact of these technologies, and the topic focused on business affairs: "At present, we have appointed a new CEO of Maserati, and the original one has become a vice president. After discussion among the directors, we agreed to set up the electric vehicle department in the United States. together with the manufacturing plant."


    "What about the location?" An Feng was more concerned about this.


    "We showed them the advantages of your area, environment and transportation, and they all agreed to build a new factory near the racetrack." Hawley said.


    "Very good." An Feng was very satisfied, "The specific investment and site selection should be done as soon as possible, and we will strive to release new cars next year to seize the opportunity of new energy."


    "We all have the same opinion. At present, the existing models are converted into electric versions. After passing the test, they will be launched, and new models will be developed in the future, or the same model will be used..." Hawley said some results of discussions with Maserati directors. The suggestions are very detailed.


    After hearing these decisions, An Feng was very satisfied. He said, "Let''s do it."


    "Okay, sir." Hawley nodded, put away his notebook, and when he was about to end the call, he asked: "This technology is really amazing, sir, do you want to promote it to other directors? Considering that their residences are too far apart, it is not a major meeting If you go back and forth frequently, you don��t have enough time.��


    "No problem, let''s consider commercial use." An Feng said.


    "I will." After Hawley finished speaking, he nodded slightly at him, hung up the communication, and the video disappeared.


    "Not bad!" An Feng was very satisfied with the quality of the image. He clicked on the notebook on the desktop a few times and looked at the bandwidth usage just now. He found that some enterprise-level ones were overkill, and the bandwidth occupied by small-area holographic communication is not much. Any order of magnitude will do.


    ��


    Another thing worthy of An Feng''s concern is the racing track.


    His race track has already been built, and he started recruiting race track staff as early as two months ago. After a round of assessment, An Feng selected a supervisor to manage the operation of the race track for him. An Feng made an agreement with him This morning, go to visit the racetrack.


    Before the helicopter was transferred, the supervisor had already arrived ahead of time.


    David Robert, in his forties, with a medium build, is very kind, and seems to have no temper. An Feng chose him for two reasons: Angela''s recommendation; and he had held management positions in other racing circuits. So having Robert on the job can make a difference.


    Because it was the first visit after the completion, Joanna was also interested; although there would be no danger in the air, Guli was interested in racing and also participated. The last four got into the helicopter together, and Fred drove his old friend off the ground and headed straight for the race track.


    After flying for more than ten minutes, we arrived at the sky above the racetrack.


    Robert said: "I suggest watching its overall structure in the air first."


    The helicopter began to fly around the racetrack at low altitude, and Robert also introduced at the same time: "The total cost of the racetrack is 410 million US dollars, and the land cost is low, so most of the funds can be used for key issues. There are three tracks in total, one standard F1 track , two 3-kilometer short tracks."


    "The F1 track is mainly used in Formula One, but it can also be used for other events, such as Moto GP, Indy Car Race, etc.; the short track mainly considers different racing needs, such as karting, F3, or racing. A demanding touring car race."


    "So it is a comprehensive racing track. In addition to the three tracks, there are also tracks that can be used for 1/4 and 1/2 mile acceleration races. If you extend it, you can also expand a race that is enough for a one-mile straight-line acceleration race. Road, surrounded by independent bleachers."


    "The spectator capacity of the racetrack is very large. In addition to the main stand that can accommodate 45,000 people to watch the game, there are also open-air stands in different areas, which can accommodate up to 250,000 people. It is guaranteed to be the most popular event. The racetrack also has Enough space to carry it."


    After the aerial tour, the helicopter landed in front of the grandstand.


    After An Feng got off the plane, he gave Joanna a hand and helped her down, and then Robert continued to introduce them: "On my left is the main stand, which is divided into upper and lower floors. Below the main stand is the news center, the souvenir area and the racing car Field command area, and a dedicated channel."


    "And to my right is the living area of ??the team, which is divided into two floors. The first floor is all the maintenance area, with a total of 40 maintenance rooms. The passage outside the maintenance area can be used as a test drive area and staff activity area. The second floor It can be opened to tourists, considering setting up VIP seats."


    Due to the large size of the racetrack, it is impossible to visit on foot. They went to experience it in a car.


    The main stand is the most important part of the racetrack. If there is an event, the main stand will be the most lively. Activities such as the start of the car, the pit stop to refuel, and maintenance are all displayed in front of the audience. It is also the highlight of the final high-speed sprint finish. There will be countless flashes of spotlights.


    Behind the team living area is Anfeng''s museum.


    The Sports Car Museum has only one floor, but it covers a large area, enough to accommodate hundreds of cars and receive professional maintenance. At present, Anfeng''s seldom-driven sports car, Ferrari''s two-generation flagship, McLaren F1, Pagani zonda-r, Lamborghini''s racing car, etc. have been parked.


    After the visit, continue to drive to the track.


    The car was not driving fast, and Robert was explaining the details and highlights of the track.


    "The total length of the F1 track is 5.625 kilometers, with 18 corners. In addition to the high-speed corners that can bring 3.5G acceleration to the F1 car, there are also difficult corners that allow the car to drop from 300 to 120 per hour. In order to cope with the bumpy corners And considering safety, this curve is inclined."


    An Feng looked at the U-shaped high-speed curve outside the window. The car needs to climb a short slope, then go downhill, and then make a sharp turn. If the corner speed is too fast, there will be insufficient downforce, causing part of the car to hang in the air, and it will lose control. poses danger, so the tilt protects the car.


    Run the entire track slowly, and then drive out.


    The outside is the main entrance of the racetrack, and the ground and underground parking lots, the ticketing area and the entrance passage for tourists are built, while the special passage is beside it for the large trucks of the team, which can directly lead to the inside of the racetrack and the living area, ensuring The movement of the fleet is convenient.


    Finally they were back in the racetrack press area.


    Robert asked: "The racetrack is about to be put into use, have you thought of naming it, sir?"


    The racing track must have a name, but An Feng couldn''t think of a reliable one. He originally wanted to name it "Maserati", but it was a bit inappropriate for the world competitions he would apply for in the future. He couldn''t hold back a few other names, and finally Solicit their ideas and each think of a name.


    "Do you have any good ideas?" An Feng asked.


    Robert said his opinion: "What do you think of ''Amoeba''? You see, besides the main track, the racing track also has a straight-line acceleration zone, a variety of tracks for different purposes, and can be diverted if necessary to increase difficulty and Fun, like an amoeba."


    "Amoeba?" An Feng thought for a while. It means amoeba. To be honest, it is quite suitable for the track because it can change in various ways.


    "I feel very image." Joanna said.


    An Feng read it a few times and felt it was appropriate, so he made a decision: "Okay, I will use the name ''Amoeba International Circuit'' to make an appearance."

 Chapter 291： Preparing for the event

    Chapter 291 Preparations for the event


    An Feng originally planned to build the track for private use, but the money invested in it has grown bigger and bigger. In fact, it is absolutely impossible for him to have time to come to the track every day. As a busy and lazy rich man, he can come three times a month. He is powerful, and the operating cost of such a huge racetrack is not low.


    Most importantly, his sports car museum would be useless if it wasn''t open - for whom?


    "We need to host auto events and maintain operations." An Feng said.


    Robert was not surprised and gave professional advice: "Based on the standard of F1 track, it is enough to host most of the world''s events. Compared with other long-used tracks in the United States, there have been equipment damage and road deposition. The equipment is top-notch.��


    An Feng asked: "What do you think is the chance of applying for the F1 American Grand Prix next year?"


    Robert said: "There is still hope, but we need to communicate with the local government first, because F1 is the world''s top event, a sport alongside the World Cup and the Olympics, so hosting F1 will have a promotional effect on both tourism development and the promotion of the city''s popularity .��


    To give the simplest example, an F1 event takes three days from warm-up to qualifying and then to the official race. Generally, there will be 100,000 spectators, and there will be nearly 200,000 spectators. And within these three days, each viewer spends an average of US$1,000, which can bring in US$100 million in tourism revenue.


    F1 races bring more than superficial consumption income. More than 1.5 billion people around the world watch F1 races through live broadcast or broadcast. For the city or racetrack that hosts F1, it is an excellent opportunity to promote the image, and if it is not done, it will increase its reputation.


    Joanna said: "Being able to undertake an F1, the cost should be recovered a lot, right?"


    Robert nodded: "If you can do business, you can even make a fortune in other aspects through a game. But this kind of situation mostly happens in big cities. To be honest, we are a bit far away here, and the urban population is not large enough. The effect is not very good.��


    An Feng said: "It''s not bad to be able to subtract and not divide the operating costs."


    Robert said: "As long as the car race is held every year, the racing track will have income. Not only F1, Moto GP and WTCC are also world-class races. You can also consider Indycar races, or some car brand racing events, which are open to paid. Racing enthusiasts and more.��


    An Feng asked: "What are the requirements for bidding to host these events?"


    "There are still some conditions. For example, the FIA ??(International Automobile Federation) needs to inspect the track for auto races, and they can only be held after successful acceptance. Tracks that are not accepted by the FIA ??cannot hold world-class events. In addition, the FIA ??will also evaluate bids. The general situation of the location."


    "This is a requirement for the local government." An Feng said.


    ��So I suggest actively communicating with the government and trying to create conditions for bidding for large-scale events.�� Robert said.


    "Let''s leave it to you to do it. If F1 doesn''t work, then MotoGP. If it doesn''t work, come to the United States. I feel good about Indycar racing!"


    "I will do it." Robert said, "In fact, we are a new track with top conditions in all aspects, and the probability of being favored is very high."


    "That''s good." An Feng nodded, "Also, I want to hold a sports car party and an amateur competition to promote it when the racing track is put into use."


    "That''s no problem, the racetrack will be operational in three days at the earliest." Robert said.


    "Don''t worry, I have to inform my friends. Just in ten days, choose a weekend, the ticket fee will be waived, and there will be a charity competition with big prizes. The prize money for the top three... two million dollars, this sum The money will go to charity in the driver''s name, what do you think?"


    "Of course it''s the most appropriate. I''m afraid all TV stations will come." Robert said.


    ��


    With ten days left, An Feng began to contact friends.


    His friends are widely distributed, and his friends have more friends. After Roger learned about this, he said that he would send his Maserati MC12 to the exhibition and drive it to participate in an amateur race. He can also find more friends, even a car dealer.


    An Feng was speechless: "You might as well ask them to bring all the new cars and sell the cars by the way."


    "That''s fine too." Roger said with all his might.


    "I''m very serious about discussing things with you." An Feng emphasized, "Don''t call those guys who can only pick up girls with sports cars, but their hands shake when they drive 200. I need friends who have certain skills and like cars, and put the overall quality into consideration. Improve, we are going to the track, you know?"


    "No problem, I will support you when the time comes." Roger promised.


    "There is another lottery. The top three in the race will donate to charity in their name by the racing track, totaling two million dollars."


    "It''s better to have a reward! I''m already looking forward to it!" Roger said.


    Hung up the phone, An Feng went to inform other people, many people sold his face, saying that the top collection would be delivered by then. According to the statistics after the fact, they are all top models that cannot be seen on the road and are rarely seen at auto shows. They are limited in the world and are silently digested by the rich.


    ��


    Two days before the party, Wang Le and his wife arrived.


    An Feng invited them into the room: "It''s so early? Didn''t you remember the time wrong?"


    "Will you not be welcome if you come earlier?" Wang Le couldn''t stop talking, "Are you afraid that I will make you poor, and then steal all the wine in your house?"


    An Feng was speechless to him: "It''s open for you to drink, but you can''t finish it. You''re the one who cries after drinking it. Believe it or not?"


    "Trust!" Wang Le smiled and sat down, crossing his legs, "Brother is the shareholder of the winery, and now I bring the shareholder''s wife here to inspect the work."


    An Feng threw a bottle of drink to him, and said: "To put it bluntly, patrolling is just basking in the sun. If you have energy, you might as well do something more meaningful."


    "Speak." Wang Le unscrewed the lid.


    An Feng said: "Follow me to the racing track, it''s a very exciting and manly sport!"


    Wang Le was full of interest after hearing this: "Okay, I just want to go to practice. I will also play the day after tomorrow. I have to be familiar with the track."


    "No problem." An Feng smiled, "It''s open for practice these days."


    Joanna stopped Lisa: "The racing track is empty and there are not many people. It''s boring. Stay with me for a beauty treatment? I''ve made an appointment with a professional SPA technician. Instead of going to bask in the sun and smell the smell of gasoline for hours, Why don''t you enjoy a three-hour quiet afternoon with me?"


    "I like this!" Lisa was abducted by a few words.


    After lunch, An Feng and Wang Le set off. An Feng drove out the McLaren P1 that was ready to go to the battlefield today, and Wang Le''s Porsche 911 followed. So far, his garage has been emptied, and the sports cars that are not usually used have been transferred to the car museum for professional maintenance.


    It takes about ten minutes to go to the racetrack by helicopter, but it takes time to drive, about 80 to 90 kilometers. Fortunately, the road condition is good. It takes an hour to reach the racetrack after passing through several cities. Then drive into the racetrack through the dedicated passage and stop in the maintenance area.


    Among the friends An Feng invited, some were very professional, such as Duke who used to play NASCAR, Rally car driver Howard, and other enthusiasts. At present, there are six or seven cars running on the track, and they are practicing and familiarizing themselves with the track, and are preparing to appear in the advanced group the day after tomorrow.


    The day after tomorrow will be divided into three groups, classified according to the type of vehicle and the level of the driver. For example, the V12 Ferrari F12 must not be in the same group as the V8 458. This is an unfair duel. It is impossible for drivers like Duke who have played professional racing to team up with drivers who have not been on the track a few times.


    An Feng got off the car and said to Wang Le: "Sit in my co-pilot first, familiarize yourself with the road conditions?"


    Wang Le knows his level, and his goal is the junior competition, so he nodded: "Okay, let me see how professional you are."


    "Be careful not to pee your pants!" An Feng said with a smile.


    "Damn!" Wang Le pointed his **** at him.


    The two received their helmets in the maintenance area, and they had to listen to safety education, but when the staff saw that it was the boss, they automatically ignored it.


    Wearing a helmet and getting into the car, Wang Le is holding a handheld camera.


    "Still taking pictures?" An Feng asked.


    "Take it back and show off, you have to act professional for me, and I''ll tell you that Vettel is next to me!" Wang Le''s real purpose was exposed.


    An Feng laughed, how could Vettel have time to drive a sports car...


    Start the car, leave the maintenance area after getting the signal, drive into the track, and run with the car in front.


    After a few laps, An Feng officially entered the state. He canceled all electronic assistance and only kept ABS. He has run more than a hundred laps on the track in the past few days. He is already very skilled in details, so he showed his hand and let other friends take a look. , How is the racing on the track.


    After 10 consecutive laps, An Feng not only received a lot of excitement and Wang Le''s screams, but his fastest lap time was 1 minute and 45 seconds, currently ranked third. The first place in the lap is 1 minute and 39 seconds held by Duke, but how to say... This guy drives a track car: Ferrari 599XX.


    Stopped in the maintenance area to replenish fuel, An Feng and Wang Le got out of the car to adjust.


    The second place in the lap is a Ferrari F12. It is obvious that it has been lightweight modified. The side skirts and rear spoiler are all carbon fiber. The original four exhausts have now become two square ones. When he stopped beside them, he slammed the gas pedal twice, An Feng looked up to see who was provoking him.


    The car door opened, and Howard walked out after selling it to his niche sports car owner last time.


    An Feng recognized him, stepped forward to give him a high-five, gave him a hug, and said, "I thought someone took the second place, so it was you."


    Howard said: "The first is Duke. It seems that we have to continue to stage the scene in Monterey the day after tomorrow. Bruce, meet the challenge!"


    "Duke cheated!" An Feng shook his head, "This guy drove the car!"


    "I also protested just now. He argued that he only has 599XX, which is an advanced modification of Evo." Howard was also speechless to Duke.


    An Feng laughed a few times, and then introduced Wang Le: "This is my friend, Jim. Jim, that''s Howard, a professional rally driver."


    Wang Le greeted him.


    Howard said: "I ran a few laps with you, and I''m in good shape!"


    After drinking a few sips of mineral water, An Feng said, "I think it''s okay. If we conduct a separate test, the lap time will be better."


    "A layman feels that you are against the sky." Wang Le said, just now he sat in the co-pilot and experienced the terrifying first-person vision of a racing driver.


    An Feng said: "You won''t be afraid to drive by yourself, and the performance of the P1 is outstanding. If you change to this car, you can also play like this."


    "I hope." Wang Le felt a little comforted.

 Chapter 292： race track

    Chapter 292 Track Showdown


    After the break, An Feng took Wang Le to run as the front car, let him drive behind, and taught him the skills through the wireless walkie-talkie. Of course, it is only within the scope of amateur driving, and it is still far from racing.


    The race track will hold three groups of competitions. The first two groups are mainly for leisure, more for training and entertainment, and the speed will not be too fast. The last group is worth watching. The first place is 1 million dollars, the second place is 600,000 dollars, and the third place is 400,000 dollars. Although all of them will be donated, they will be donated in the name of the drivers.


    To put it bluntly, donations in their names can be deducted from personal taxable income.


    On the afternoon before the race, the racetrack reserved a practice area for drivers who wish to participate in the charity race. An Feng also participated, but he had to wear a professional racing suit and accept the safety knowledge assessment of racing. If he dared to participate in the advanced group competition, he must be familiar with the rules and have technical guarantees.


    Game day morning.


    The Amoeba International Speedway, located at the intersection of SLO County and Santa Barbara County, has been bustling since yesterday. There are constantly outstanding sports cars appearing on the streets, and many rare cars are brought by special trailers. Everyone has the same purpose - to participate in the opening ceremony celebration and competition.


    There was also a local press vehicle at the scene. This luxurious racing track covering an area of ??more than 2,000 acres was very mysterious. It was built in a low-key manner throughout the entire process. It did not receive any government sponsorship and was a private act. Its establishment did not have a clear goal. It is considered for private use.


    These mysteries are enough to arouse people''s curiosity.


    It even attracted the attention of the neighboring Santa Maria city government. Although they are in Santa Barbara County and the racetrack is in SLO County, it is obvious that the racetrack is also very close to them. Tourism economy and city popularity are both important.


    Amoeba Circuit has no restrictions on tourists today. You only need to collect free electronic tickets on the website or at the on-site ticket office to enter. We started to promote the charity competition ten days ago, and we have issued more than 30,000 tickets so far. Everyone is very interested in the competition.


    In order to maintain law and order, security guards wearing coats of coat of arms also appeared at the scene.


    Today happens to be Sunday. The weather is fine and the temperature is suitable. All the nearby residents who have nothing to do come to have a look. Anyway, the tickets are free, and you can also enjoy a feast of sports cars. When An Feng arrived at the scene, he saw a crowd of people, which was unexpected.


    Stop in the pit lane and meet up with some friends.


    Wang Le looked up at the auditorium on the opposite side of the track, and said, "There are so many people, I thought there were only a group of drivers and wives watching the race."


    "You underestimated the charm of racing." An Feng said proudly.


    While talking, a white and blue Maserati MC12 drove up, and Roger in casual clothes and Miranda in beautiful clothes got off the car.


    An Feng went to greet him: "Hey!"


    Roger bumped fists with them one by one, took off his sunglasses, and looked at the beauties around him: "It seems that the ladies are not to be outdone!"


    In addition to eye-catching sports cars, there are also wives who can steal the limelight of sports cars.


    The well-dressed ladies are equally powerful, each competing for beauty, with short skirts and high heels standing next to the sports car, which is more eye-catching and temperamental than some of the display models invited at the scene. The ladies don''t plan to drive, and Joanna doesn''t like wearing a helmet because she wants to look good.


    More and more friends came later, and all kinds of rare sports cars also joined the battle. Three LaFerrari appeared in one go, and two Lamborghini Reventons came, which made An Feng''s wish to be the only one. There are also many valuable supercars, which are extremely attractive.


    Hundreds of supercars filled the starting area, and the powerful sound of the engine echoed on the field.


    There are six large LCD screens on the opposite side of the auditorium, and the staff is rebroadcasting the captured images to the top, so that the audience can see the whole situation of the field more clearly and capture the details of the car chase. This is the opening ceremony of the circuit operation, and it is also a practical test of operation.


    So far, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.


    As the starting signal came down, a Mercedes-Benz SLS-AMG safety car ahead took the lead, and all sports cars started to catch up with the safety car. After the SLS runs at a constant speed for a certain distance, it will gradually increase its speed. After leading a lap, the safety car withdraws, and the supercars perform their respective functions.


    Hundreds of sports cars are just a hot spot. Due to too many vehicles and drivers of different levels, overtaking is not allowed on the track, so they ran for three laps while keeping the distance. Then there will be competitions in different groups.


    The participating sports car models are very complicated, and the basis for grouping is mostly voluntary. The first two groups are not for the championship, and everyone does not come with a competitive mentality. They just compete with friends on the track and discuss technology with each other. Only the last group mixed with professional drivers will fight it out.


    In the anticipation of the audience, the first group of cars was ready, a total of 16 cars, all with V8 or higher engines, acceleration from 100 kilometers in 4 seconds, top speed over 300, Wang Le''s Porsche was also among them, just like the previous car Based on the single-lap results, this guy is ranked eighth, and the overall performance is not bad.


    A simple race only needs to run five laps. According to the actual performance on the spot, an average lap takes more than two minutes, and the whole race takes about 12 minutes to complete. Although it is not intense, there are also sports car performances used to stage straight overtaking and cornering. Chasing and other scenes, the atmosphere is not bad.


    After the first group runs, it will eliminate the bottom eight, and then let the top eight go to a final with a slightly higher level, and the first can participate in the charity competition. Wang Le was also on the list for the finals. He had learned a lot from the two days of training. When he got off the car, he held his head high, as if he regarded No. 8 as the champion.


    Seeing Wang Le who hugged Lisa and cheered to celebrate, everyone laughed.


    The rules of the second group are similar, except that most of the participating cars are V12 class, with larger displacement and faster speed. They also run for five laps. Roger''s MC12 is in this group. He wants to go to the first group, but everyone thinks that road racing is bullying, so he can only participate in the second group.


    In the second group, famous cars such as Bugatti Veyron, Koenigsegg and Pagani appeared. The track version of MC12 dominates the GT race. Although the speed is not outstanding, the track performance is very strong. The race was carried out at a faster pace, with an average completion time of five seconds faster than the previous group, and some laps were completed within 2 minutes.


    After the mild preliminary competition between the two groups, it was An Feng''s turn.


    They only have qualifying, and the grid position is determined by the fastest lap speed. An Feng wants to synthesize the best P1, Duke intends to lie to the end, and the 599XX is unveiled; Howard drives the F12; in addition, there are Ferrari LaFerrari, two Porsche 918, and two Lamborghini LP740-SV (unreleased, guess).


    Although the previous two supercar confrontations were lively, they were not exciting enough. The two games failed to arouse the enthusiasm of the audience. After the qualifying session of the advanced group started, everyone cheered for the excellent start and the roar maintained at more than 200 when cornering.


    The main event is coming!


    An Feng drove the P1 with all his strength. From the start to the first corner, the speed of the sports car has exceeded 300. The first is a high-speed corner. Downshifted to a speed of about 240 and passed steadily. Then it was a straight line, followed by several A hairpin bend, the speed is maintained above 210.


    He has run hundreds of times in the past ten days and is very familiar with the road conditions.


    Looking at the others, the skills are obviously higher than the previous two groups, and the racing skills are also proficient. They all ran within 1 minute and 50 seconds in the lap speed. Duke''s performance this time is very eye-catching, scoring 1 point in the lap. The good result of 38 seconds, when An Feng felt that he played perfectly, it took 1 minute and 40 seconds.


    Compared to the mild competition in the previous group, the best result directly opened up a gap of 20 seconds.


    The result was the same as two days ago. Everyone��s best time was under 1 minute and 50 seconds. Among them, Duke��s 599XX was the most fierce and won the first place on the grid, followed by Howard. His modified F12 was able to reach 350 seconds. , achieved a slightly faster speed than An Feng and ranked second, and An Feng was third.


    The future results are also very good, with 1 minute and 42 seconds.


    The qualifying session is over, the morning schedule is also over, and the final will not be held until the afternoon. Now this free time becomes free practice, or stunt drivers invited by the organizer to perform motorcycle and car acrobatics. In addition, the Automobile Museum is open for everyone to visit Anfeng''s collection.


    An Feng and seven other drivers got together to discuss the afternoon race.


    Obviously, their group is the most concerned. When discussing cornering and braking skills, some TV stations came to interview them. As the most eye-catching Ferrari owner, Duke proudly talked about his racing experience, and then publicized the rules of the racetrack for charity.


    An Feng gave him a thumbs up, this guy is interesting.


    afternoon.


    The competition of the advanced group started amidst much anticipation. Considering the capacity of car tires and fuel, the race schedule is 25 laps, with a total of more than 140 kilometers. According to the slowest lap speed just now, this race will take about 45 minutes, and the whole process will be filmed by TV stations and official stadiums.


    After being kissed by Joanna, An Feng got in the car and got ready.


    There are eight cars in total, and An Feng is in the third place. After waiting for the green signal light to turn on, he stepped on the accelerator and sprinted.


    Due to the uneven performance of the racing cars, there were also many overtaking situations on the straight section. An Feng passed Duke just before the first high-speed corner, but was snatched back by him in the next few hairpin turns. Naturally, the track is not as naive as who is faster in acceleration, the test is the performance and the driver.


    After the first lap, the ranking did not change much. The top three are still 599XX, F12 and P1. They have run on this track for more than a hundred times in the past few days. The first place maintains a dominant lead, has no opponent for the time being, and runs faster and faster. The competition for the second and third places is serious, and the positions of the fourth and fifth places are often changed.


    An Feng''s P1 and F12 kept competing for the second position, and the camera lens chased them.


    Howard''s F12 uses a racing kit. When it brakes at high speed, the brake disc turns into a dazzling orange red like a burnt iron sheet.


    The audience cheered for this frequent overtaking race, and the wives who watched the race became cheerleaders, although many women did not know the drivers on the field.


    An Feng didn''t know that the outside world was so lively, he was engrossed in racing.


    After the fourth lap, he had to change his strategy. If he continued like this, he would always be second and third. When driving, my mind is quickly sorting out the experience of each corner. The track has eighteen corners, most of which are high-speed corners, and there are also low-speed corners that require a sudden drop in speed. But these two kinds of corners, the driver can deal with it very well.


    The most difficult parts are several hairpin turns and a high-speed corner.


    Facing continuous hairpin turns, An Feng kept following the F12 at a high speed, and used the acceleration of the sports car to overtake from the inside when tangential to the apex of the bend. Slow, but will take away the best lines of the F12.


    Sometimes, occupying the opponent''s line is also a strategy for overtaking.


    After overtaking, in order to prevent Howard from playing the same way, An Feng gave up the principle of "outside and inside" and adopted the "outside and inside" cornering method. From a macro perspective, it is also a kind of "outside and inside", but it will be more Go deep into the inside of the curve, and then tangent to the geometric apex in a nearly straight line.


    To put it simply, An Feng blocked the car behind and prevented him from overtaking.


    An Feng glanced at the rearview mirror, and saw that the F12 was unable to overtake Xiao Xiaoxuan. His wonderful performance was also appreciated by all audiences on the big screen.


    After a few more performances on straight roads and high-speed corners, I faced the second difficulty.


    There is a high-speed corner ahead, if it exists alone, it is easy to pass, but before reaching the high-speed corner, the speed of the car is maintained at around 260, it is impossible to turn at a high speed, and if you step on the brakes to slow down and turn, you have to downshift. Downshifting causes the engine''s revs to drop.


    Once the speed is slow, the exit speed will be slow, and if you accelerate again, you will feel that the power of the engine is not used for the key.


    So An Feng adopted a new cornering strategy��braking with his left foot.


    As we all know, when learning to drive or driving in a driving school, the coach emphasizes that you must use your right foot to control the accelerator and brake, and you cannot use your left foot to step on the brake.


    But in a racing car, left-foot braking is an essential quality for a driver.


    Like this high-speed corner that An Feng is facing, he doesn''t want to downshift, and he can''t turn at high speed, so he has to step on the brake with his left foot and hold the accelerator with his right foot at the most appropriate time. The braking process is very short, and the speed of the car slows down. But the speed of the engine is maintained, and it can still maintain a high speed when exiting the corner!


    Braking with the left foot is very particular about timing and strength, and requires hard work by racers. It is difficult for ordinary people to change the inherent thinking of braking with the right foot, so it is not easy to learn. An Feng is deftly using it skillfully.


    On the sixth lap, he was able to secure the second position, and turned to bite the **** of the 599XX in front, threatening Duke''s first throne.


    The 599XX is a track car, lightweight and specialized, and it was born only for the track. It is not easy to surpass it, but the P1 has the latest aerodynamic technology. With its excellent straight-line acceleration and high-speed corners, a large number of With the left foot braking strategy, each lap can be at least 0.5 seconds faster.


    20 laps down, at least ten seconds faster, what does ten seconds mean?


    Running a lap on the track, with an average speed of 205 kilometers per hour, can run at least 560 meters in ten seconds, which is a very obvious gap on the track. Therefore, An Feng used the technique of pressing step by step and accumulating more to deal with 599XX. Finally completed overtaking on the 24th lap, leading all the way to the last lap.


    In the last displayed lap time, 599XX is 1:39.9, while P1 is 1:39.2.


    There is only a small gap, but the gap is a tragedy. The audience saw that the first to cross the finish line was the McLaren P1, which won the championship.

 Chapter 293： Spineless!

    Chapter 293 Spineless!


    After the race, it was also interesting. The organizer set up a podium, prepared trophies and champagne, let the top three come on stage, and Robert, the director of the circuit, presented them with trophies. Then An Feng, Duke, and Howard began to shake the champagne bottles. , Unplug the cork and spray each other.


    Their targets are not only the opponents, but also other onlookers. When the riots started, drivers from other rankings joined the game one after another, and it turned into a carnival. Even the photographers and reporters were stalked... But everyone had a smile on their faces Yes, this kind of people-friendly competition is very interesting.


    Subsequently, the organizer presented a giant check of two million U.S. dollars, and Robert expressed that he would donate to the Elizabeth Foundation in the name of the three drivers, and won applause and praise from the audience. An Feng was also very proud, even though it was just the money in his pocket that was put in another place.


    After the competition of the senior group, this lively day also came to an end. All the drivers who participated and watched the race came to take a group photo to commemorate. to celebrate this successful event.


    Before the show ended, An Feng asked people to publicize the acquisition of classic models.


    The circle of car lovers is very large this time, the car that An Feng likes may not necessarily appear at the auction, and private transactions are more frequent than auctions, so if you want to get what you want, it is best to use the current circle to buy of. He also printed some of his favorite models.


    This proved to be very effective, and as soon as the word got out, Roger came to the door.


    An Feng looked at his MC12, and asked with certainty: "Do you really want to sell this car?"


    "Of course!" Roger nodded, "You know I bought it for the purpose of increasing my collection. A few years ago, I still had time to go for a drive. Now that I have a lot of work, this car is not suitable for driving on the road. You have to be on the track to get the most out of it, don''t you think?"


    "Of course I like it, because I''m its boss." An Feng said.


    "Then I will help you, the price is 2.8 million." Roger made an offer, and the price of friendship is not low.


    Considering that it is well-maintained and the output is scarce, An Feng agreed without hesitation: "Leave the car, you can walk back!"


    Roger smiled and high-fived him: "Asshole!"


    An Feng looked at this white and blue Maserati supercar. Although many people think of the Trident as a luxury car, the sports car is relatively mild, but as a brand that used to wear the same pants as Ferrari, MC12 alone won The champion of the GT race is soft, and it is worthy of the name of the top supercar.


    An Feng got in the car and tried the sound of the engine, and praised: "You must have this sense of power!"


    Roger said: "It was born for the track, and it is most suitable for people like you!"


    After An Feng had a small harvest, the day''s competition came to an end.


    Although this event was not broadcast live, it was rebroadcasted on TV stations and the Internet. Many car fans clicked to watch it. They could experience so many sports car battles that could never be seen at auto shows. Even FIA GT events are not so great. It was lively, especially in the final senior group competition. The video became popular on Youtube, with 10 million hits in a few days, and there were constant discussions about the strength of the models.


    In the monotonous professional competitions in the past, the adjustments to the performance of the cars were almost the same, and there was not much comparison, but now different manufacturers, different generations and different models of sports cars are compared together, and the performance parameters are so different that the audience can discuss it. There are many places to go.


    Robert was very happy, because the logo of "Amoeba Speedway" appeared frequently in racing videos, which was enough for some people to remember it. Later, someone contacted him, claiming to be a team agent, wanting to contact the number one to see if he was interested in racing.


    Didn��t mention the second and third place, because they are all old, racing has physical requirements, and age is a big obstacle, but An Feng in the camera is still young, especially as a non-professional driver, he is very promising. But Robert conveyed An Feng''s polite refusal, and he was not interested.


    An Feng is only interested in racing. If any interest becomes a career, he will hate it.


    ��


    After this publicity, the racing track has accumulated some fame, and then began to communicate with the local government to discuss the matter of hosting international events. The neighboring city of Santa Maria also expressed that it would provide help, because once the event comes, its city is bigger and benefits more people.


    Robert began to negotiate with them, planning to do it according to the degree of difficulty.


    IndyCar is relatively easy because it''s held all over the United States with a lot of frequency. The conditions of the new track are excellent, and it is easy to qualify for hosting, followed by MotoGP and F1. They are world events, basically only held in one country, so there are many competitors.


    Also, hosting F1 requires money, which is determined by the FIA. For example, in Monaco and Italy, there is often no need to pay for the right to host, while the average cost of hosting rights in Europe and the United States is about 10 million US dollars. The relatively high one is China. City S once Spend 30 million US dollars to buy the right to host.


    Robert communicated according to An Feng''s ideas. As long as the government supports it, he can share part of the cost of the event, but some conditions must be attached. After considering the two mayors, they are still inclined to let them jointly hold the event, but they need to listen to the opinions of residents and the council first.


    ��


    Time came to August.


    A family from China came over for vacation, and the little girl pestered her all day long to play with the little tiger. If she couldn''t beat her, she could only bring her here to satisfy her desire to play happily with the tiger. To describe it as a "little tiger" is a bit unrealistic.


    The grown-up Xiaobai finally got rid of the days when he was held in his arms as a plush toy. Now that the children want to fight with him, he plays with a few bugs when he is happy, and lays down on the ground when he is not interested. Even the little fur boy couldn''t hold it, no matter how he tried it, it didn''t work.


    But my parents didn''t come. When An Feng inquired about it, his brother-in-law was very impressed: "They are busier than me. They are full of activities and entertainment arrangements. Now they are probably traveling north with other people to enjoy the coolness. They said yes. Come and have a look when the weather turns cold, so you don��t have to worry.��


    An Feng can understand that, to a certain extent, his easy-going personality is also genetic.


    A few days later, An Feng happily boarded the plane with Xiaobai, who was rarely able to get rid of the clutches of the children.


    Although the tiger has completed the genetic mutation and its intelligence has doubled, it still needs regular physical examination to guard against potential accidents. The possibility is very small. Seeing that Lai Yangyang is now occupying three seats, and the way his big tail is wagging, it is clear that he is eating, sleeping and doing nothing.


    The helicopter landed on the roof of the research center, An Feng walked forward with his hands behind his back, and the tiger bodyguard followed.


    In the laboratory, Xiaobai was going to take a blood sample. I don��t know if it��s the sequelae of the injections when he was a child. He had a bad impression of these syringes. When he saw the syringe in An Feng��s hand, he moved back without making a sound. Three steps And made two steps to escape the danger zone.


    Wait for An Feng to turn around, hey! Gone!


    "Xiaobai!" An Feng called out, but he couldn''t find it in the research room. He went outside to look for it helplessly, and he couldn''t find it in the corridor.


    "Come out, I saw you." An Feng said while searching.


    It��s not good to have improved intelligence, it��s too smart, and once you hide, you can��t find it.


    The scene now is a scene of a very serious man in a white shirt holding a large syringe and dangling around. If it wasn''t for the fact that the security guards and most people on the floor knew the boss, they would have misunderstood him as some abnormal person wandering around with a syringe.


    "Did you see the tabby cat?" An Feng asked a security guard patrolling the floor.


    "It''s heading towards the elevator!" The security guard smiled and pointed in one direction.


    "Thank you." An Feng hurried to the elevator. Just in time to see the elevator door open, Xiaobai went in with his **** twisted, and was stunned by a lady who had obviously never seen the owner''s pet. Her back was pressed against the corner, her face was pale, her legs were trembling, and her voice was intermittent of.


    Xiao Bai ignored her, turned around and stood upright, with his paws on the wall, wanting to press the door close button.


    "Stop!" An Feng said, "I saw you!"


    Xiaobai''s ears drooped a little, and he looked at him with an aggrieved expression. An Feng frowned and said, "Come back soon! I should let you make a movie next time!"


    Xiaobai came out reluctantly, An Feng looked at the lady in the elevator and asked, "Are you okay?"


    She pointed at the tiger and said, "Tiger..."


    "I know, please relax!" An Feng said to her, bent over and touched Xiao Bai, who squatted down on his hind legs and curled up his tail to be a good cat.


    An Feng smiled and said, "It''s a pet cat, very obedient."


    "Really?" The girl clutched her chest with lingering fear.


    "Of course." An Feng looked down at Xiaobai, "Really?"


    Xiao Bai mischievously shook his head.


    The girl suddenly laughed, when the elevator door closed automatically, An Feng waved at her, hoping that the encounter with the tiger would not affect her mood today.


    "Okay, let''s go back!" An Feng turned his head, it just wanted to oil the soles of its feet!


    Seeing that Xiaobai wanted to run away, he turned around to catch it, but it circled An Feng, and finally grabbed its tail, and said helplessly, "You are a fierce tiger! The king of the jungle is still afraid of injections? Really? Spineless!" Regardless of whether it is willing or not, it rides on the body and touches it, and draws blood when it finds the position.


    Take some time to draw blood from the spineless tiger, and then take it back to the laboratory for testing. It takes several hours to get the test results and computer data. Go for a walk when you have nothing to do. The research center is also installing holographic communication equipment. An Feng''s suggestion is to keep pace with the times.


    In fact, there is another purpose. After he designs a dummy in the future, he can use the dummy''s identity to participate in scientific research and development. After packaging it, market the idea.


    At that time, with some encryption technology, no one will be able to guess where the virtual person came from.


    Or after the smart computer is developed, you don��t even need to play the game yourself, just let the smart virtual person communicate with the technicians one by one. Save it and recommend it selectively.

    Chapter 294 Green Earth


    After drawing the tiger''s blood, let it play, An Feng went back to the office.


    Every time he comes here, he has something to deal with, and this time is no exception. Not long after he sat down, the secretary notified him that something happened. Joseph, the director of the company, wanted to discuss with him a batch of medical technology and patent issues. The technology has been put away for a long time. Seeing that An Feng was free, he hurried to mention it.


    Joseph said: "A number of multinational pharmaceutical companies have negotiated with us to obtain drug patent authorization, especially biopharmaceutical technology. The results of the R&D department''s testing are excellent. It is time to consider how to authorize, or sir, do you have a license?" one''s own thoughts?"


    An Feng asked: "How is the market for new drugs?"


    Joseph replied: "According to the survey, the global cardiovascular disease market was 150 billion last year, but the competition is fierce and new drugs emerge in endlessly."


    "Is it just one big aspect? Or are there many types?"


    "Multiple types, such as cardiac glycosides and inotropic drugs, antihypertensive, antiarrhythmic, blood lipid lowering, blood regulation, etc., common ones have been conquered, most of which are biological drugs, the technology is relatively high, and it is difficult to imitate , and is also favored by pharmaceutical companies.��


    An Feng asked: "What about the cost of biological drugs?"


    Joseph replied: "If we follow our production method of pursuing speed, the cost is high, but large manufacturers have complete assembly lines, low-cost foreign supply channels, and produce on a large base, which can reduce costs and make them profitable at ideal standards. Inside."


    An Feng considered that even if the market is more than 100 billion, the cost is the key, the competition is fierce, and there are many effective drugs. It is not an incurable disease, and it does not have the absolute monopoly of anticancer drugs. In a big way, new drugs are just better, but there are many similar products.


    In a compromise, after three to five years of development, a pharmaceutical company should ideally occupy 50% of the market, which is about 60 to 70 billion, but the cost is very important. If the cost is high, the profit will definitely be less than that of anticancer drugs. Small and medium-sized enterprises can''t afford it, and it mainly depends on large enterprises.


    So he asked: "Which companies are interested? The one with the highest price?"


    "Currently, Pfizer is offering the highest price. They are the world''s largest pharmaceutical company. After the end of the patent protection period of some drugs, they have been looking for new drugs that can stabilize the market. They are very interested in the technology we have developed and said they can High price negotiations."


    "I see." An Feng naturally knew the name of Pfizer. When the anti-cancer drug was authorized, they offered a higher price than Sinclair, but he decisively chose the latter. One was his own people, and the other There will be a stake in Sin Energy. Influence and Power are worth more.


    The situation is different now. First of all, he is not sure whether Sinclair can continue to swallow such a large pharmaceutical market. After all, they are new to the pharmaceutical market. They have just obtained a strong anti-cancer authorization, and then they will develop the same huge cardiovascular disease market. I''m afraid I''ll be too busy.


    An Feng said: "I will list them as key considerations, but the specifics will depend on my discussion with other business partners before I can make a decision."


    Judging from the current situation, as the core of the consortium, they can help themselves with all their strength. As the leader, he is also responsible for pulling the strength of the consortium upward. Now that there are too many competitors, he can live well if the consortium develops well; on the contrary, if the consortium is weak, it will be swallowed by the opponent.


    So apart from the Sinclair family, other members of the consortium can consider cooperation.


    Joseph also talked about the authorization of other research results. After several years of precipitation, the technology of the research center is in a blowout stage, and many valuable technologies are looking for cooperation. If you simply change hands, you can get tens of billions immediately, but it is not suitable for earning overall profits.


    So he still decided to develop in the long run.


    ��


    After arranging things, An Feng got up and walked around to see the research and development progress of other aspects of the research center. As of today, the research center has 50 projects, of which 20 have achieved results, 15 have been abandoned due to insufficient conditions, and the rest continue to burn money.


    His botany department found something curious.


    The departmental laboratory is located on the seventh floor. The most distinctive feature is the environmental simulation area. It was built with a lot of money and can simulate various environments on the earth. At present, the main part is a desert, and the degree of sunlight is similar to that of a desert. This cycle repeats, but it grows miraculously. plant.


    Through the thick glass, the research team leader named Sam introduced: "The plants here are all genetically manipulated plants, and their growth and reproduction are still vigorous and rapid under continuous strong sunlight and drought and little rain. Double the size in ten days."


    "Sir, please look here." Sam came to the small petri dish next to him, "This is one of the experimental plants, developed from vetiver grass, we have integrated genes of drought-resistant plants into it, and after precise combination , the cultivated plants have multiple advantages.��


    "Its root system is extremely developed and can absorb water several meters deep. At the same time, the developed root system can effectively prevent soil erosion. The special structure of its root system can retain more than 75% of the water source in the soil. In addition, it is drought-resistant and has a very fast reproduction rate. Fast."


    An Feng asked: "Using the desert area as an environment, you want to develop a plant with a well-developed root system, drought resistance, and fast reproduction?"


    "Yes." Sam said proudly, "If it succeeds, I dare say it is the most suitable plant for the desert environment. As long as it is transplanted to eastern California or Nevada, even if it is a desert area with harsh conditions, I promise A year from now satellite images will turn green."


    "Oh, that''s right!" Sam led An Feng to another place. "Grass is not enough, and the research on shrubs and trees is going on simultaneously. I plan to apply for the use of supercomputers. Its theoretical models are very useful. Can save lengthy genetic exploration."


    An Feng went to look at the plant seedlings he cultivated again. Some of them were crossed out, which proved to be a failure; some were under observation, and their future was uncertain. Looking through the record files, there were a lot of failures. Obviously, these tasks need to be tried. If there is a computer to do it, one hour is worth his time for a year.


    And right now it''s all about luck.


    An Feng sat down and said: "It is a bold idea to let the desert grow green grass and trees and improve the environment. If you can test it under the guidance of the correct theory, the chance of success is not small. When do you want to use a computer? I Special approval for you."


    "Maybe in two weeks," said Sam, happy to be appreciated.


    "I''ll let the secretary do it." An Feng said.


    Sam said: "Thank you sir, the company''s plant research has not been very optimistic, and it is a great encouragement for me to be recognized by you."


    An Feng smiled: "It''s mainly your hard work. In addition, it''s a bit inappropriate to conduct experiments here. Maybe you need a better outdoor environment."


    Samso: ��But there are no suitable ones near Los Angeles, and they need supervisor approval and funding.��


    "I have a suggestion." An Feng said, "SLO, more than 200 kilometers away from here, may have a place suitable for you. In addition to the vineyard planting area, there is also a wasteland with strong sunlight. If you are willing to go there If you work, the company can allocate funds."


    After hearing this, Sam asked, "Stationed all the year round?"


    "If you''re alone, I don''t think the plants will be able to do without your care, but I''m sure you''ll have other helpers, right?"


    Sam understood: "I agree with that idea, sir."


    Chatted with Sam and learned that he has a small team of five people, and he was also recruited after the research center was renamed "biology". Like other job seekers, they are very interested in the research and development environment and knowledge base here , even if it needs to sign a contract of as little as ten years.


    Long-term contract is a way for the research center to protect knowledge. Although the conditions are harsh, it has high salary and treatment, and can also enjoy the share of research and development results. Like the cancer cell R&D team, each of them will be a multi-millionaire in the future. After publishing some autobiographies, they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.


    So the contract seems harsh, but it is actually fragrant. Even if you want to get this kind of contract, you have to go through a period of internship and trial period, and you will not be hired until you pass the assessment. But things are not absolute, no matter how to prevent, leaks are possible.


    There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Anfeng can''t control the knowledge that is stored in his mind after mastering it. But so far, this kind of thing has never happened. The research center invests millions of dollars in safety and security funds every year. Aegis Security''s technology and reputation are among the top three in the industry.


    Farewell to Sam, An Feng had an idea: turn the earth green.


    The transgenic plants cultivated by Sam through theory and tests in the laboratory have strong environmental adaptability. Planting them in deserts and barren areas can improve the environment, prevent soil erosion, prevent wind and sand, and prevent global warming. have a positive impact.


    There are too many places on the earth with harsh environments. Establish a company to provide "green earth" services. After on-site inspections, use a set of scientific green plans to detail where to plant what grass, what shrubs to cultivate, and how far away there is a tree to create a green world. A solid green system.


    Environmental governance is a difficult problem in the world, and there are not many effective solutions, but genetic technology has reduced the difficulty. If the entire huge green system can be successfully developed, it can be implemented in countries that have money but lack the environment, such as China or rich countries in the Middle East. Especially the oil countries, they need green too much.


    But Green Earth has a problem.


    If you choose to start work in places like Qatar where there is no shortage of money, it is obvious that plants are not enough, but water resources are also required. The water there is said to be more expensive than gasoline, so the normal way cannot be used, and it can only be obtained from seawater��desalination projects are a good choice. High yield and good quality.


    This has to involve industrial technology.


    Humans are not good at construction under harsh conditions, and they need the help of flexible machines. Manipulable robots are very useful here. Humanoid machines are currently used for fantasy, but small and medium-sized all-terrain machines are more flexible and agile than human hands. Robotic hands... are both good choices.


    While time-consuming to implement, there is no doubt that it is good for the environment as well as for yourself. In terms of environmental governance, China spends more than 800 billion yuan every year, so if possible, it will be at least one billion yuan, and it is still calculated in US dollars. For countries that are urgently managing the environment, the effect is good enough, and long-term contracts worth tens of billions of dollars are not a problem.


    An Feng intends to develop the "Green Earth" plan when the conditions are ripe.

 Chapter 295： sweet pastry

    Chapter 295 Sweet pastry


    In the afternoon, Xiaobai''s health test results came out. An Feng sat in front of the computer and browsed carefully. All the indicators were normal, and he was even extremely healthy in all aspects. The gene mutation technology is very successful, and the tiger cubs born to it and other tigers will also be able to inherit the mother''s excellent genes.


    "The job is done!" An Feng stretched his waist, and Xiao Bai ran over expecting to play with him.


    "Don''t look at me like that, you''ve had enough trouble today, now go home honestly." An Feng ignored its gaze, picked up his coat, thought for a while, and went downstairs.


    He went to the flower shop opposite and bought a bouquet of roses, and brought them back to board the plane.


    A certain person''s romantic EQ is quite high. Although they are considered old couples, when Joanna saw the bright red rose in his hand, she still excitedly hugged him and kissed him. With a smile, let my brother-in-law see this sweet look, and give a thumbs up.


    Seeing the thumbs up symbolizing praise, the bear boy clamored to send flowers to his uncle.


    An Feng said to her dumbfounded: "Girl, you''d better wait a little longer and let other handsome guys see you off, otherwise my aunt will be angry."


    Xiaoyu seemed to understand, but stuck out her tongue and ran to play with Xiaobai again.


    Joanna sat on the sofa with her legs curled up, hugged his arms, looked at Xiaoyu who was leaning on Xiaobai and told him stories, and said, "It''s so cute."


    "Yes, let''s abduct her and make her our daughter." An Feng made a joke, and the little girl heard it, and looked back at them with watery eyes.


    An Feng said: "Xiaoyu, I will live with my uncle from now on, and I won''t have my parents anymore, okay?"


    She looked at everyone, thinking seriously in her heart, whether it is better to be uncle and aunt or parents.


    Everyone held back their smiles and waited, the little girl finally shook her head.


    An Feng said: "Isn''t Uncle bad?"


    "Hello, Uncle." The little girl said.


    An Feng said injuredly: "Then why didn''t you choose me? How fun is my place? There are little tigers, little ponies, and your group of doll friends?"


    The little girl struggled for a while, and then said: "But dad is so pitiful. If I''m not at home, I will definitely be bullied by my mother all day long."


    "Ah oh." An Feng smiled, "Girl, you''ve got the truth."


    My sister said with a straight face: "Why is Dad so fierce all day long? Am I so fierce?"


    The little girl was in trouble, she secretly glanced at her mother, then turned to look at her uncle: "Uncle, can I go back on my word?"


    An Feng said: "Girl, your position is not firm, is it?"


    Brother-in-law opened his hand to her: "Mom is just teasing you, come here girl! I know you love dad the most!"


    Everyone made Xiaoyu amused, there was a child in the family who couldn''t stop the excitement... Later An Feng answered the phone, it was from Wang Le.


    "Bitch, can I make an appointment to go to your place tomorrow?" Wang Le said.


    "When did you learn to be polite?" An Feng said wonderingly, this guy always notified him until he was almost at the door.


    "Isn''t this more formal?" Wang Le smiled over there.


    "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." An Feng said, "Tell me, did you get kicked out by your wife?"


    "Your sister, you were kicked out of the house by kneeling on the keyboard!" Wang Le said, "Going to your side has something to talk about, it''s better to say it in person."


    "Okay, it''s on point!" An Feng said.


    The next day Wang Le drove an SUV over and honked the horn a few times at the door of An Feng''s house.


    "I heard it! I heard it! Can''t you open the door by yourself?" An Feng came out yelling, and took a look: "Hey, the cool red Porsche Cayenne, optional wheels and calipers, modified side skirts and rear row, and a 4.8" Upgrade to a larger displacement and a higher configuration, have you gotten rich recently, kid?"


    Wang Le drove the car in proudly, and said proudly: "The investment has a small return, thinking that there is only a sports car at home, and it can''t accommodate people at critical moments, so why don''t we just change it to a car with a larger capacity. Besides, the United States bought this car. One-third of the domestic price, comfortable!"


    "Chiguoguo''s show off!" An Feng smiled and invited them into the room.


    Wang Le greeted Xiaoyu: "Hey, little girl, do you still remember your uncle?"


    "I know, Uncle Wang next door, it''s best to remember." Xiaoyu said innocently.


    Wang Le''s smile froze: "What a good boy!"


    "Haha!" An Feng laughed, "Fortunately, you and I are not neighbors!"


    Wang Le sat down and said: "This time I''m looking for you, besides eating and drinking, it''s really a bit serious."


    "I knew it." An Feng looked like a god.


    Wang Le said: "My brother may come from China in a few days, and I have some friends. Let me remind you first, because my brother has cooperation with them, so I can''t speak directly, but if they talk to you about business, as long as they don''t If it''s suitable, it''s not good for you, don''t give me face, just reject them directly."


    "Wait a minute! What''s going on?" An Feng asked puzzled.


    Wang Le leaned back on the sofa and said: "It''s not a business issue. Recently, so many people from your research center have come to discuss business, and the news has also been received in China. I found out that you are a shareholder and can talk, and then I want to I connected with you through my brother''s relationship, they belong to a state-owned enterprise, and my brother has a lot of cooperation with them, so it''s not easy to directly refuse to offend someone, so let me come here to inform you."


    An Feng said: "There is no need to be so sensitive. Anyway, we are talking about business with anyone, and domestic products are fine. As long as the price is satisfactory, it can be regarded as contributing to the economy."


    Wang Le said: "I''m afraid that those factory directors and secretaries will put on a show. I''m used to being an uncle, so I thought I was paying attention to domestic ones when I came here."


    An Feng didn''t mind: "Anyway, the country can''t control me. If it''s business, we should talk about it in the way of business. It''s useless to talk about other things. Of course, I will show affection. After all, we are all compatriots. This is beneficial For medical and health matters, I can make some sacrifices."


    Wang Le is relieved: "You can just grasp the scale yourself. Of course, state-owned enterprises have advantages and disadvantages. The country is currently promoting the development of the medical field, and there will be a lot of allocations in this area, but the profits of state-owned enterprises are not as good as private companies in the United States. Or domestic private companies.��


    "I will pay attention." An Feng said.


    ��


    An Feng talked with Matthew first the next day.


    This time, through holographic three-dimensional communication, two places are separated, but face-to-face contact is strange.


    Matthew stared at An Feng, who sat behind the desk and stared at him. After a while, An Feng surrendered first: "Have you seen enough?"


    Matthew nodded: "These technologies are so realistic, I will ask them to install them for me in the future."


    "The company is currently promoting this technology, please ask everyone to buy more." An Feng said, "This time I came to you for the technology."


    "Pharmaceutical patents?" asked Matthew, who has been concerned about these lately.


    "Yes, are you interested? At present, there are 16 drug patents for cardiovascular diseases and skin diseases, and the comprehensive competitiveness is relatively strong. But you know that it cannot be like an anticancer drug, and there is no rival in the world. These drugs It��s just that the effect is better than similar products.��


    Matthew said: "I know, but a good effect is a core competitiveness. I can''t buy all the dozen patents at present, but I am very interested in the antihypertensive drugs among them. Let me give you a psychological price." Come on, don''t scare your friends too high."


    An Feng clicked on the desktop computer a few times, and said: "According to statistics, the global market for antihypertensive drugs has been growing and is expected to reach 60 billion next year, but there are dozens of specialized drugs on the market, and the competition is fierce. It is estimated that new drugs can occupy 50% of the market."


    Matthew shook his head: "Expectations are too high! It will take several years to implement. Currently, consumers generally trust big companies, and new companies need a period of time to promote."


    "You can use anticancer drugs as a gimmick, and the research center will help you." An Feng said.


    Matthew knew that profiteers were talking about money, but this piece of fat was delicious. He gave an idea: "2 billion overseas funds, 40% of drug sales."


    The drug that Anfeng wants to resell is worth 30 billion yuan, but the cost is not low. Although the part for Matthew has a market of 18 billion yuan, the final net profit of 2.5 billion yuan is not bad. Considering competitiveness, years and market Waiting for the problem, when it is replaced in five or six years, he may make a profit of nearly 10 billion.


    Of course, this is based on the best imagination, and there are too many changes in business.


    Regarding Matthew''s offer, An Feng did not give an answer right away: "My assistant will consider your proposal. Are there any other interests?"


    Matthew shook his head: "You are going to take all the cash on me now."


    An Feng smiled: "Help you consume overseas funds!"


    Matthew said: "I really have no money, but our business partners are also engaged in drug manufacturing. If you have time, talk to them."


    "I will." An Feng knew this was a reminder. The consortium is currently developing across fields and needs many profitable projects. As the core, he is the boss and has the responsibility to help the younger brother. This is also the strategy to defeat the opponent. Besides, we are all acquaintances, so it will be easier to negotiate the price.


    It''s also the same reason, that is, if there is benefit sharing, this consortium can develop synchronously, and it may not necessarily be a disadvantage for its own people, because they are familiar with each other and talk better, so it doesn''t matter much if they take more or less shares. They are all doing big things Yes, caressing about every detail can''t be mixed up.


    Following Anfeng and other consortium partners, they demonstrated holographic technology.


    The partners have a lot of spare funds in their hands, and some of them have accumulated strong capital overseas. Because of the Anfeng incident last time, they had conflicts with some capitalists in the United States. They have accumulated a lot, and they hope to invest it, and Anfeng also has the idea of ??continuing to develop overseas, so the two groups met and hit it off.


    According to the final statistics, a total of five patents have been transferred, and Anfeng can enjoy a share ranging from 40-45%. The total funds add up to more than 6.5 billion, most of which are overseas assets. There are also foreign exchange, such as British pounds, euros, etc. Everyone has strong capital.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 296： globalization

    Chapter 296 Globalization


    The strong overseas assets prove that they have huge ambitions, and their goals are not limited to the United States, but the whole world. This is all thanks to Anfeng''s technology. The advantages of pharmaceutical patents alone will allow the economic empire to continue to expand, and there are other more influential projects waiting.


    The new consortia have their own advantages. They are less affected by the outdated ideas of the old guys, and their concepts are advanced. If the future is only concentrated in the United States, the achievements will eventually be at the level of Morgan and Rockefeller. But the world stage is huge, and it is not Is American.


    An Feng is not the only foreigner in the consortium��although he is about to be an American��like Bazel, he has British identity. Austin feels that he is native American because of the first impression he received from the Blue Lane family, but his mother is Italian, he himself is of American-Italian mixed race, and holds an American green card. There are also some other members, who themselves or their parents are immigrants, take their nationality very lightly, and the pursuit of interests comes first.


    The current Texas consortium is more receptive than other established consortiums. As long as it can bring benefits to everyone, directly or indirectly, you are black, green or blue. In a way, Bazel intends to build the consortium into a kind of "fraternity".


    An Feng and Bazel once talked about that if they embrace the superiority of the American white circle, their development will be limited, but if they face the world, their future will be broader. Capitalists should downplay their nationality and pursue ultimate interests, or create higher A money order at the level.


    An Feng admires Bazel''s ideas, and he doesn''t dare to say that he can create a new order, but as long as there is money to be made, the stage for him to play is very broad... The next day he and Wang Le went to Los Angeles, Wang Wei took several A friend with shiny hair and suits and shoes arrives, looking like a cadre.


    Wang Le was responsible for the introduction, and An Feng also shook hands with them one by one.


    The people who came were all high-level state-owned enterprises, and their words were a bit bureaucratic. Maybe they couldn''t change their words temporarily, but their attitudes were very good, and their smiles were always there. After all, this is the territory of the United States. An Feng is now a wealthy overseas Chinese businessman. And as a diplomat, it''s already very face-saving to receive you.


    One of the comrades, who was in his early fifties and a little bit fat, seemed to be mainly talking about things.


    After exchanging greetings in the reception room of the research center, Secretary Ran said: "Nowadays, the country is also attaching great importance to the development of the medical and pharmaceutical field, changing the limitations of previous thinking and old-fashioned style, and deepening enterprise reform. We are also gradually going abroad to seek new breakthroughs. .��


    Although there were a lot of official words, An Feng understood, and he said bluntly: "Mr. Ran, I am more concerned about what aspects you are interested in."


    Ran Zhongliang did not talk nonsense, saying: "We are all interested in new drug patents."


    "I see." An Feng reached out to take the tablet from Julie, opened the entry, put it on the table and showed it to them, "Here are all patents that have not yet been reserved. Passed, and FDA''s authoritative certification, the content is very careful."


    Although the leaders of state-owned enterprises are very slippery in their official words, they also have professional skills. Without two brushes, they really can''t do this job. They read the content specially translated into Chinese, and some of them even put on glasses, which was not perfunctory. An Feng felt a little more admiration in his heart, and he also did practical things.


    There are too many contents, and each item is explained in detail. An Feng said that the test results of the laboratory can also be obtained, but all of them are in English, and the accompanying translator began to work. An Feng had nothing to do, he pleaded guilty and withdrew, and went back to his office with Wang Le and Wang Wei.


    Wang Wei came here specially this time because of business.


    "Renewal of domestic agricultural fertilizer authorization?" An Feng understood. He used to take advantage of his position to give them a small discount for three years. Now it has been two years, and the domestic sales are very hot. After all, it is a big agricultural country. It has expanded tenfold, with sales in the tens of billions.


    Wang Wei said: "I am afraid that the renewal this time will require a considerable price. Mosaic is also eyeing the Chinese market. If it is not without official support, they will open up sales on their own. But my current advantage is the official relationship. So this time I have to bring someone to trouble you."


    "It doesn''t matter, you have given me a lot of money in the past few years." An Feng said with a smile, Wang Wei is very good at life, in addition to the agreed price, he will allocate several million year-end dividends to An Feng in the past two years. peak parents. This is not his obligation, but it shows that he is very understanding of the world.


    "I hope things go well." After Wang Wei finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Le who was shaking his legs and playing with his mobile phone. "It''s just that this kid doesn''t grow up and doesn''t care about his family."


    "Hey! Stop! It was agreed at the beginning. I know my own weight and I don''t have that ability, so I will give you a lot of property, and I will take a little. The brother is not jealous and the sister-in-law is jealous. Now that I can''t make money, I want to turn around. To blame me?" Wang Le said very unconvinced.


    An Feng smiled: "Brother Wei, don''t underestimate him. He holds shares in GP Energy, and the listing is worth tens of millions of dollars, which is more comfortable than those who work hard to make money."


    Wang Le found his confidence: "That''s right, let''s not make people quiet to be a rich second generation!"


    Wang Wei shook his head and sighed, then looked at An Feng: "It''s too boring to sit like this, why don''t we talk about some business?"


    An Feng: "..."


    Wang Wei''s obsessive-compulsive temperament has not changed. See what he said, talk about business to relieve boredom? If you don''t press the calculator a few times, you will be restless, and you are born to do business. He doesn''t care about the estimated result, he just enjoys the pleasure of negotiating the amount and conditions between you and me, right?


    An Feng was also idle, so he asked, "How much spare money does your family business have?"


    Wang Wei thought for a while: "Because the farm fertilizer has accumulated a lot of cash, plus other receivables, there are four billion US dollars. The authorization of fertilizer will cost some, and the rest is temporarily unknown. Some of them want to invest in real estate. But now that the house price has fallen sharply, it is not suitable.��


    An Feng turned his mind a few times, and suddenly asked, "Are you interested in a Sino-foreign joint venture?"


    Wang Wei asked: "Who will manage it?"


    "It must be you. How are foreigners familiar with China''s national conditions?" An Feng said, the joint venture will pay less money, and it will allow the consortium to expand its business scope.


    "What is it specifically?" Wang Wei asked with great interest.


    "There are those in the pharmaceutical field, as well as high-tech ones, or the bio-drinks that are popular in the United States recently." An Feng said that doing business in China requires personal connections. It just so happens that the Wang family is very influential in China, with a wide circle of friends, and the speed of development and prospects They are all favored by him.


    If they can also join the consortium, with Chinese members, they will be much better than other foreign companies that are blind and unfamiliar with the rules and cannot get along in the country. It has always been difficult for large consortiums to open up the market in China, but if internal If there are others, it will definitely be easier.


    Wang Wei asked: "It''s all yours and ours?"


    An Feng revealed something: "No, the cooperation is of a consortium nature, and we need to share risks and benefits with each other."


    Wang Wei thought about it, and Wang Le said: "You mean the legendary consortium? Is there such a thing?"


    "Damn! You''ve been with me for so long, and you haven''t heard of my brother''s backer?" An Feng was stunned, Wang Le took this as a rumor?


    Wang Le scratched his head: "I always feel that it is too far away from ordinary people."


    "I''ve already said that I''m the richest man in the world." An Feng shook his head with a look of helplessness, "But I''m serious, a big interest group, if you are interested in cooperating, and they are willing Accepting your words will be very helpful for future development.��


    Wang Wei is not sure: "We have no experience in dealing with foreigners, so we can''t figure out what they think."


    "It''s easy to handle, I''ll introduce it to you sometime." An Feng said, of course, things can''t be established in a few words. What the Dezhou consortium needs is to have a positive effect on them, not to patronize members who make money by themselves. Otherwise, it will be the same as before without reform.


    With this in mind, An Feng and Bazel communicated in hologram.


    An Feng is just like his personality, expressing things directly and clearly, and then waiting for the answer.


    Bazel said: "If it is good for everyone and can promote development, no one will refuse. But Orientals, except you, I know very little."


    An Feng said with a smile: "They are the same, and they don''t know you well, so I suggest that we can get to know each other, start with some simple cooperation, and then consider longer-term issues after getting to know each other well. Whether it is suitable or not, the right to choose is up to you." What do you think about us?"


    Bazel nodded: "This idea is advisable."


    An Feng said: "I''ll just prepare for a time."


    Bazel said: "Speaking of which, I would like to mention by the way that the British Hart family has the idea of ??uniting with us."


    An Feng knew that Hart and Sinclair had a lot of solo collaborations, and it is not surprising that it has developed to this point. He asked, "What are your opinions?"


    "You were the first to know," Bazel said.


    "What will they do?" An Feng asked.


    "Add fire to our chips and batteries, and push them to the European market. Or cooperation in other fields, using their network. Our power can be dispersed and spread to Europe through the UK. If the cooperation with China is also smooth , we can span the world.��


    "This sounds very good." An Feng said, it is the same reason, the locals are more likely to mix up.


    Bazel thought for a while: "Let''s find a time to discuss together and listen to other people''s opinions."


    "Okay." An Feng nodded.


    Return to domestic friends. They are very interested in several of these drug patents. The cooperation is to refer to the way of sales sharing, and then pay a certain authorization fee in RMB. The total asking price is slightly lower, but considering that they want to cooperate with Wang Wei, they can be exchanged for favors.


    An Feng did not reply immediately: "The other shareholders of the company need to consider it."


    Ran Zhongliang naturally knew that this is the way to talk about business. He stood up and shook hands with An Feng: "I hope we can have a chance to cooperate."


    "Me too." An Feng smiled. At present, he has diluted his share, making it appear that the company has many shareholders, but in fact he is still the one who speaks.

 Chapter 297： own someone

    Chapter 297 Owing a Favor


    An Feng asked the think tank headed by John to conduct business negotiations.


    Now his private customization team has formed a large scale. John is not omnipotent, but he has talents who are good at various fields. They have their own strengths. When they are united, they form a pyramid structure. Top Anfeng provides services.


    Having nothing to do, he thought about Bazel''s vision when he went back.


    If there is a consortium that is not limited to the United States, its capital and future will be extremely broad��especially this kind of thinking is in line with An Feng��s actual situation. It''s not that all technologies are superior.


    Some things are not necessarily popular, and some advantages are not absolute. There are profits, but the ones that take a lot of effort are, for example, several biomedicines this time. They have high requirements on the manufacturing environment, high costs, and time-consuming, but the final profit is not high. This cannot be favored by An Feng.


    Although not favored, it is a project that can guarantee profitability for others. The consortium members have encountered many more business opportunities than other consortiums. They can digest the technology that An Feng thinks is tasteless and let him enjoy it. Cash and dividends save time and effort.


    Under this model, consortium members should cover a wide range of fields and develop in all directions. If they keep their eyes on the United States, their own development will be limited. After he communicated with other members, regarding the current trend and Bazel''s goal, everyone agreed to continue to expand, but he had to choose.


    Not everyone can be a partner. An Feng has a carefree personality and doesn''t pay attention to this aspect, but it doesn''t mean that other people don''t have this kind of caution. According to the established rules, if you want to join, you must first start with peripheral cooperation, and you can only be accepted into the interior after the weight is sufficient.


    ��


    Two days later, An Feng took Wang Wei and Wang Le to play golf in Santa Barbara, and there were other members present. In the western style of socializing, you can get to know each other while relaxing, and have a cocktail party in the evening... Some aspects are also similar to the rules of calling brothers at the domestic wine table.


    With the help of an interpreter, Wang Wei had a good chat with them. Everyone is full of curiosity about China. Its economy has been growing steadily and its consumer market is huge with more than one billion people. However, due to differences in cultural concepts, few foreign companies can make a name for themselves in it.


    Faced with doubts, Wang Wei communicated with them.


    An Feng played 18 shots with Wang Le very irresponsibly. The novice was abused properly. With a swing of the club, he frowned and said, "Can''t you dig a hole for me to score?"


    "Why digging holes? Planting trees?" Wang Le was startled by his thoughts.


    "Don''t tell me, I almost planted trees on the golf course before!" An Feng smiled.


    "What''s going on?" Wang Le asked.


    An Feng talked about the business with George, and Wang Le shook his head after hearing it: "It seems that I have to sacrifice some IQ to do business with you."


    "Look at what you said, I''m bringing people hope for the future. Isn''t it worth sacrificing a little bit in comparison? Besides, you guys are good at golf, but what about other things? Car racing?" An Feng started talking. Find a place for yourself, swing the club...in the hole!


    "Choked to death!" An Feng waved his fist.


    "Shit luck!" Wang Le changed the cue, ready to display his skills.


    An Feng''s mobile phone rang in his pocket. He took off his gloves and picked it up to answer it. After talking for a few minutes, he hung up with a smile on his face.


    "What good happened?" Wang Le asked him.


    "Hey, I just told you about the racing car, and someone delivered it to me." An Feng handed the club and gloves to the caddy beside him, "Two Ferrari flagships, F40 and LaFerrari. They are well maintained, and the F40 has driven 3,000 miles , the LaFerrari only has a little over 200 miles, and it''s a huge profit!"


    Wang Le was speechless: "You haven''t quoted the price yet, how can you make money?"


    "I like it, so I earn money!" An Feng was full of joy, and walked back to the coffee bar with a little drift, asked the waiter for a tablet, opened his public mailbox, and there were real photos of the other party in it. Looks great, even the spare key and instructions are still there.


    Not to mention the LaFerrari, a quasi-new car with a bright red body, as if waiting for its new owner to drive it on the track and win countless honors... An Feng was fascinated by it, and Wang Le had already classified him as a The ranks of sports car enthusiasts are not surprising.


    "I want to try the track experience now!" An Feng said with longing.


    Since it is a private transaction, it is a fixed price. Although the F40 is an extremely classic and perfect model, its output was too high that year. More than 1,000 units made the price not high. The original factory was more than 400,000 yuan. Dollar.


    But for An Feng, whose eyes were already bright, he didn''t want to buy it and was sorry for the money in his pocket, so he rushed to Los Angeles the next day to meet the owner of the car. They also know each other. After the track performance last time, An Feng sent a business card to promote his acquisition of a flagship sports car at a high price.


    The car owner had to reluctantly give up his love because he was going to live abroad.


    An Feng saw these two red horses. The F40 is a historic flagship among Ferrari''s flagships, and it is also the first sports car with a speed exceeding 320. Inside, the speed 324 is indeed remarkable.


    What is more attractive is the LaFerrari. An Feng has always wanted to buy it, but the 499 cars have already been sold out. It''s only had a couple of hundred miles on it, it''s pretty much untouched, it''s like new, and it looks great, smooth aesthetic.


    The appearance is completely compromised to aerodynamics, with a sharp nose cone and a depressed engine cover, full of vitality. The pursuit of the model design team no longer stays at the appearance without connotation, but at the cutting-edge level of aerodynamics, everything serves performance, so it is a beast of performance.


    Anfeng��s actual experience in the car, as a super sports car, comfort is always behind, LaFerrari streamlines the interior as much as possible, so that the owner can not be distracted and focus on the fun of driving. The design is compact, and most of the buttons are concentrated on the high-tech steering wheel.


    The result naturally satisfied him. After confirming that the procedures were complete, An Feng traded the two cars with the owner, and then drove them onto the trailer that had been prepared, and transported them back to SLO. The F40 stayed in the sports car museum, but the LaFerrari was brought home, and it was enjoyable to touch it.


    An Feng drove it on the track again and challenged the lap record. It has great potential, but still needs to get used to it.


    The negotiations made new progress the next day.


    The most refreshing is the state-owned enterprise, with a lot of money in hand, the effect of the drug is indeed better than similar products in the market, and the signboard of the research center, the advertising effect is also strong enough, currently interested in two of the drug patents, the cooperation method is cash five 100 million US dollars, 20% sharing model.


    The main reason is that the cost of the two drugs is high, and it is difficult to promote domestic drugs to the world, so the agreement becomes sales in Greater China, not the world. The market is shrinking, and the value is correspondingly reduced. The huge foreign market authorization is still in the hands of the research center.


    An Feng also sought advice from John and other supervisors.


    If American drugs want to be sold to China, they have to be clinically imported. The FDA approves them, but China does not. It is difficult to have full foreign investment, usually in the form of Sino-foreign joint ventures, but it takes a long time to build here. It is better to directly authorize Chinese pharmaceutical companies. , only pay attention to the share, and do not consider operational issues.


    The important thing is that the authorization is only in China, and other countries are still in their hands.


    An Feng went to chat with Wang Wei again. In fact, the terms of the transaction are good, and it is completely possible to sign, but it is very particular about business.


    Wang Wei picked up the exquisite bottle in his hand: "After communicating with the foreign friend you introduced, I am very interested in this bio-drink that is popular in the United States. If possible, we will consider setting up a subsidiary in China through a joint venture. Full authority to represent and sell this product."


    "So, you and Anthony had a good talk?" An Feng asked.


    Wang Wei nodded: "He is very confident in the future of beverages. In addition to high-end products, you are also planning to launch low-end consumer products next year. I think this is an opportunity. Compared with Coca-Cola back then, I think it is a drink that is beneficial to the human body. The market prospect is broader."


    Bio-drinks have a great effect on improving the human body. When they are sold to China, the benefits can be placed second. After all, they are all their own compatriots. The technology to enhance physical fitness and resistance should also be promoted simultaneously. If there is an aura of a domestic agent, it is obviously easier to be accepted by the majority of groups.


    "We will consider it carefully." An Feng said, but his tone was already inclined to affirmation.


    Wang Wei smiled: "I''m sorry!"


    "It''s okay, this is also for making money." An Feng said with a smile, "Then you can make the bosses of state-owned enterprises owe you favors."


    Wang Wei thought for a few seconds and finally understood.


    The negotiations between the research center and the country must not go smoothly. They require 650 million US dollars in cash, plus a higher share ratio. For state-owned enterprises, every additional US dollar is more than six yuan. The amount varies greatly, and the important thing is to affect the leader''s overseas record.


    Both sides naturally want to grind their mouths on this point.


    Following the smart leaders, they thought of borrowing the relationship between Wang Wei and An Feng, hoping to say something nice, give some benefits, and get more bargaining price... To put it bluntly, they want to use Wang Wei''s face to play emotional cards with An Feng, which is appropriate The impact of these cannibal Yankees.


    Acting needs to be sufficient, Wang Wei has a good relationship with An Feng, and the domestic leaders also see this scene in their eyes, Wang Wei is a sensible boy! An Feng finally said that for the sake of his friend, he would talk to the board of directors again, but the final result is not guaranteed.


    Ran Zhongliang smiled: "I believe that Mr. An will be the representative of that kind of Chinese who is affectionate and righteous."


    An Feng smiled... Negotiating with himself.


    Then the results came out, the board of directors made concessions, a deal of 550 million US dollars, 20% of the operating share, authorized two promising patents to domestic leading pharmaceutical companies, allowing the production of drugs in China, and will provide continuous technical guidance to Adjust the production method.


    Ran Zhongliang smiled and shook hands with An Feng: "Mr. An, we have a happy cooperation!"


    "Happy cooperation!" An Feng also smiled.


    Ran Zhongliang shook hands with other leaders of the research center. Finding a relationship costs 100 million US dollars less. Who said that people don��t care about their background in foreign countries? Everyone spoke highly of An Feng and was very satisfied with Wang Wei who facilitated the negotiation. Invisibly, this cooperation has created an important debt of favor.

 Chapter 298： intelligent recourse

    Chapter 298 The Recourse of Intelligence


    After several business talks in August, most of the pharmaceutical patents in the research center have gone. The first is the benefits of the partners, and the consortium took part of it; the second is Pfizer, a pharmaceutical giant, which will pay more than three billion in cash alone; the last is the cooperation with domestic pharmaceutical companies.


    Regardless of the share, the patent licensing can get more than 10 billion in cash. It is undoubtedly a huge transaction. If it all happens in the United States, at least 3.5 billion in income taxes will be paid, and then distributed to shareholders, another 35% The tax rate reaches 58%.


    But they are obviously not stupid. The patent licensing fee incurred in the United States is only 3.5 billion, and the remaining 6.5 billion US dollars are all traded through overseas accounts. The huge funds accumulated by international companies are transferred between offshore accounts. In the country, taxes and fees are out of the question.


    Most of the associations are signed this year, and Anfeng can get about 5.5 billion. In addition to the shares of other shareholders, there are also funds for rewarding the employees of the research center. The necessary expenses for the company''s operations, such as medical equipment, are the best choice Well, top-notch buys, so the cost is high.


    In addition, there is also cooperation with Wang Wei, to be precise, the cooperation between the consortium and the Wang family, which still requires the two parties to continue to understand. Because it is not only a simple business, but also a test for the consortium to accept new ones, and it will expand the power of the American consortium to the world, which will be a milestone.


    The test is concentrated on the Wang family. The consortium needs to consider their comprehensive strength. They don��t need to be the top, and it��s difficult to cooperate with arrogance; they don��t need to be the richest. If you have a good word, no matter how rich you are, it��s not enough for us to be rich. The point is attitude and potential, at least positive and promising.


    Wang Wei attaches great importance to this matter. If he has a relationship with an international consortium or becomes a member, the family assets will definitely double, and going to the world is not a problem. Therefore, after finalizing the renewal of the fertilizer contract with Mosaic and exchanging contact information, Wang Wei rushed back to China, preparing to discuss important matters with his family.


    Even Wang Le was called back to learn about the inside story.


    ��


    After the Xiongzi family returned to China at the end of August, the vineyard was empty again. After Joanna��s consideration, she decided to live in San Rafael in September, where the temperature is suitable, the sun is sea, and she can go out on a yacht to chase the sunset and enjoy the undisturbed world. , It is also convenient for An Feng''s work.


    An''s Industry has been running at high speed since its establishment. There are more than a dozen tasks waiting to be processed. The focus is on superconductors. At present, there is no prospect of room temperature superconductivity. The second is robots, and the research and development of exoskeletons has turned to robots.


    At the end of August, bring your luggage��big cats and dogs, as well as Joanna��s favorite handbag and a few custom-made lipsticks inside. The new plane had already arrived, and the refitted AW139 landed on the lawn mighty and domineeringly. The bodyguard stepped forward and opened the sliding door to let them sit in.


    The cockpit designed for private use is naturally spacious and luxurious. The two VIP seats are built according to the specifications of the first-class seats. They are all equipped with ventilation, heating and massage. There is a small refrigerator under the armrest where you can take some iced drinks. Display, capable of receiving satellite signals.


    The dog and the big cat jumped up, found a seat on the carpet and got down on the ground to be good, followed by the bodyguard who also served as the flight co-pilot. Considering the presence of tigers, the bodyguard finally compromised with the employer: when operating in a fixed area, the security level is maintained at the minimum standard. That is two bodyguards.


    An Feng insisted on counting three bodyguards, and he wanted Xiao Bai to be included.


    If there is a robbery or something, the bodyguard may take care of the robber in a few strokes, but Xiaobai will probably kill the robber with a slap. Under An Feng''s training, the female man is already invincible. An Feng had to wear an exoskeleton to cope with the little training.


    Scarlett closed the cabin door, radio communication: "Confirm takeoff!"


    In order to take into account the comfort level, Fred increases the speed of the plane gradually, which will make the passengers in the plane feel stable and reduce the signs of turbulence, and then align the destination in a straight line, and slowly increase the speed. Lift it up and cruise at 300 mph.


    After forty minutes, arrive at the destination airport.


    Two pick-up cars are also needed, a Maserati president who came ahead of time, and a spacious Chevrolet Suburban as a pet car.


    Although I can��t drive a sports car and hit the gas pedal by myself, it��s cool to be a boss. Not to mention anything else, the rear seats are comfortable! I don��t feel tired after sitting for several hours in a row. If I change to a sports car, it��s okay to take comfort into consideration, but it��s torture if I only consider speed.


    It took a few minutes to get home, Joanna said to Scarlett: "There are still two guest rooms, you can choose whatever you want."


    "Thank you, Ma''am." Scarlett smiled slightly. Being a bodyguard is meant to be serious and intense, but she and Joanna get on well.


    The rest of the bodyguards have no requirements in this regard, because they don��t work around the clock. An Feng has more money, so there are more bodyguards, so they are on duty at non-important moments, and the frequency can be once every two days or every three days. In fact, being An Feng''s bodyguard is very happy, every day is relaxed and nothing major happens.


    And he is very straightforward, and sometimes the tip is a hundred.


    ��


    Blowing the wind every day, occasionally going out on a yacht to play in the water, the half-vacation is very comfortable, Joanna has become a housewife after graduation, either gossip with Mrs. Wang, or find Mrs. Li together, and go for beauty and leisure together. Mrs. Rich''s investment in her body is comparable to middle-class wages.


    When An Feng was doing research, Joanna would also train Xiaobai.


    Her physique is not good enough. Although she keeps exercising and has strong physical fitness, a tiger is a beast that weighs more than 100 kilograms and is more than two meters long. After special training and genetic mutation, it is no problem to slap a person to death. In order to be able to play happily, the robot company is the first to launch the women''s exoskeleton.


    In fact... the exoskeleton is not divided into men and women, it is only the first case tailor-made for women. After Joanna wears it, her strength increases several times, and her speed and reaction also increase rapidly, while the power consumed is less than one-third of the usual one. Mom no longer has to worry about her fighting with Xiaobai.


    And An Feng, hurry up and finish the work during this period.


    He will continue to challenge high-temperature superconductivity with his team, and also participate in the development of high-precision intelligent machine tools. Considering the time cost, most of the parts are ordered from abroad, especially Germany, which has developed industries, and pays high prices to get the best. Then there''s the computer and robotics thing.


    The most advanced is the intelligent computer.


    An Feng is connected to the computer team in Texas through holographic projection in the office. Their background is a laboratory, surrounded by chaos. intelligent computer.


    Song Wenrui and his eleven-member team studied in Los Angeles for three months. They discussed and studied the human brain and wisdom with biological experts, and benefited a lot. With An Feng''s proper guidance, their understanding finally prevented An Feng Fire... After much difficulty, they produced samples.


    Through highly realistic images, the technology they demonstrated was restored.


    Song Wenrui said: "We use a specially prepared structure to allow it to count and classify each person, remembering from hobbies, habits, behaviors, etc. When that person touches it again, he will feel as if he is for himself It��s like a tailor-made machine.��


    An Feng frowned and listened, but it was still a little far from what he imagined: "It still calculates according to ''yes'' or ''no''?"


    "Yes." Song Wenrui nodded, "We can''t change the binary mode of classical computing. We can only add probability analysis to the front when the machine makes an answer, and then form the answer. After the analysis process simulates the way the human brain thinks, It comes with a certain ''logic''."


    "There is still a gap." An Feng said. The team is also helpless, they have never been in contact with it. Originally they were satisfied with the development of graphene, thinking that it was 20 years ahead and could walk slowly, but now An Feng asked to run, and the distance between 30 and 50 years was widened. , There is too much knowledge that needs to be supplemented.


    "Perhaps this is already the limit of classical information processing?" Song Wenrui asked.


    "Maybe." An Feng said uncertainly. The judgment of the binary machine is yes or no. Someone once imagined the ternary system. In addition to the path of "whether", the machine will also produce the third option of "why", which means independent thinking, and it also means the wisdom that has begun to take shape .


    Everyone looked at An Feng, hoping that he would have an answer.


    "Forget it." An Feng shook his head, "This road is too difficult, and it is difficult for classical information processing to keep up with the times. Let''s do other research and development."


    Song Wenrui asked: "Shall we seal up the current technology?"


    An Feng nodded: "The world doesn''t use such advanced ones yet. After ten years, these smart devices will be launched. They are currently used internally."


    Although this kind of intelligence does not meet Anfeng''s requirements for artificial intelligence, when used on computers, its optimization of resources and information will increase the speed by three to five times compared to other "stupid machines"��in the case of the same hardware on both sides Next, it is important for limit improvement.


    To put it simply, it is efficiency. It is like a scumbag who can understand a set of questions in an hour, but a good student can do it in five minutes.


    An Feng looked at the slightly disappointed crowd, and encouraged him: "It''s not that you are wasting time. You have laid the foundation for bionic intelligence. If you continue to develop in this area, it will be faster. In addition, let''s get in touch with quantum computing. A kind of computer, the quantum algorithm is very advanced."


    Song Wenrui said: "We will keep going."


    An Feng said to them: "Pay attention to the combination of work and rest. In addition, if you don''t have enough knowledge, you can continue to study. The company will be responsible for the whole process of expenses. You can use your wisdom on this stage to your heart''s content. The future is created by you! Geniuses, wish us Future success!"


    Everyone picked up their confidence and continued to work.


    After the communication was disconnected, An Feng thought, the pursuit of intelligence is equivalent to having a few more clones, who can take on many things for him in the future. For example, if it is not convenient for him to come forward, artificial intelligence can form a virtual character through holographic images to complete these tasks instead of him.


    Under An Feng��s restrictions, one can do biological research and the other can do physics research and development. There is also the answer to the doomsday equation. Powerful intelligence will be more accurate and analyze every detail in place, so there is no need to worry about what he is doing right or wrong like he occasionally does now.


    But the research and development of intelligence, even he himself is not clear...unless he uses off-the-shelf ones, and he does have off-the-shelf ones in his head.


    The cells in his cerebral cortex that are constantly dividing and proliferating are biological computers. They are combined with the brain, use the storage capacity of the brain, improve the brain''s mechanism of forgetting memory to protect itself, and can support their own thinking. It must be a very advanced artificial intelligence.


    But he couldn''t guarantee that he would have no problem after breaking his head and taking out a small part. Considering the characteristics of biological cells that can self-repair and proliferate, it is fine in theory, but who would be fine to open their own head with a scalpel? The risks here are too great.

 Chapter 299： Sea fishing [three shifts]

    Chapter 299 Sea Fishing ��Third Watch��


    After struggling with intelligent computing for a few days, An Feng gave up. Before the existing technology was complete and the information in his mind had not been sorted out, it was very nerve-racking to delve into this area, and he couldn''t eat hot tofu even in a hurry. Focus on other aspects, such as going out to sea.


    He came to live here in the San Francisco Bay to escape the summer heat. Although the summer in California is not hot, with temperatures in the early thirties, the temperature in September showed a strange rise. This is a good thing for the ripening of wine grapes, and it also means that this year Good harvest, but people are not very comfortable.


    So Joanna decided to escape the summer heat. The Bay Area is a very special summer resort area. There was a saying: the coldest winter is the summer in San Francisco. It is a bit exaggerated, but whether it is summer or winter, there is not much difference in temperature. The average high temperature in summer this year is only 23 degrees Celsius, and it is even hotter in autumn.


    At this time, if you stay quietly at this time, you may need a two-piece suit. In order to keep warm, An Feng chose a sunny afternoon to go out to sea, and called Wang Le, who had just returned from China, and brought snacks and snacks. The ladies put on bikinis , put on a coat and board the boat. Very versatile bodyguards are responsible for driving the yacht.


    The yacht sailed out of San Francisco Bay, An Feng stood up from the cockpit on the top floor, and felt the long-lost warmth under the soft sunlight.


    "This kind of weather is suitable." An Feng opened his hand and said.


    "The country is still like a stove, and when you come to San Francisco, it will drop by more than ten degrees." Wearing sunglasses, Wang Le leaned on the guardrail and looked at the sea.


    The two ladies on the front deck have already gone to cool off. At this time, the ultraviolet rays are not strong. Just apply a little SPF15 sunscreen, and then lie down and enjoy the suitable sunshine. It is definitely the most pleasant afternoon. Joanna took off her jacket and waved to the people in the cockpit: "Hi!"


    An Feng did not participate in the ladies'' activities, and waved his hand: "Go ahead!"


    "Of course." Joanna turned her head, "Scarlett, can you come too? Apart from fighting sharks at sea, there will be nothing else."


    Scarlett walked under the sun after changing clothes, a little uncomfortable, Joanna smiled: "You have to relax when it''s time to relax!"


    An Feng turned back to Wang Le and said, "Shall we go fishing?"


    "You take the fishing rod, I''ll find something to eat." Wang Le said.


    The two divided the work. An Feng dug out the boat fishing rod specially configured for yachts, assembled it, and then hung the bait on the combined hook. The amateurs don''t pay attention to technology, so they just throw it into the sea. Anyway, this is already a deep sea area. Follow Then fix the end on the special card holder.


    Wang Le brought beer and fruit, and threw a bottle to Neil, the bodyguard who was sailing: "Catch it, buddy!"


    Neil caught it nimbly, flipped off the pried loose cover with his thumb, and raised it up in greeting: "Thank you!"


    "Have a good time!" Wang Le returned to the next floor, put the snacks on the small table between the two reclining chairs, and sat down next to An Feng.


    "It''s done!" An Feng touched the wine bottle with him, grabbed a few cashew nuts and threw them into his mouth.


    The sea fishing on the yacht is mostly for entertainment. Occasionally there are fish biting the hook on the way, and the ones that are pulled back are not big ones. Most of them are half-sized groupers. , were thrown back into the sea. Now it''s a bigger game of who''s fishing.


    Wang Le threw a small fish back into the sea, wondering: "Isn''t this the season for salmon to migrate upstream and spawn?"


    "It''s no wonder, it''s your poor character!" An Feng smiled.


    "Maybe." Wang Le swung the fishing rod again, and it was a rare time that he didn''t contradict An Feng.


    "The sky has changed?" An Feng put his feet on the guardrail and looked at him strangely.


    "It''s not about the family business." Wang Le leaned his head on the chair and looked at the blue sky. "My family is very interested in cooperation and hopes to seize the opportunity to connect with the international community. I was appointed as a liaison officer after I took root in the United States. Pay attention to things here and be responsible for communication."


    An Feng understood: "It''s really embarrassing for an irresponsible guy like you."


    "So." Wang Le sighed.


    "But this is your family''s business, and you are also responsible for the rise and fall of the future. Besides, if the business is to grow, won''t you be able to share more property in the future?"


    "That''s true, but it feels contrary to the idea of ??the original lazy man." Wang Le said.


    An Feng understood: "Okay! I think you are an idle asshole! Just like Roger, you used to be in a free-range state, unrestrained, and suddenly you were entrusted with important tasks, so you are not used to it, but after getting used to it, now you Tell him to give up, and he promises not to do it. That''s why I''m being hypocritical when I call a slut!"


    "It makes sense..." Wang Le was unresponsive.


    An Feng laughed.


    "You are the slut!" Wang Le rolled his eyes at him, and accepted his fate: "Anyway, the responsibility is definitely on me, otherwise I will have no face to go home to see my parents."


    "Children can be taught!" An Feng nodded.


    Wang Le stared at him suddenly: "I almost forgot that you are also the master! Tell me your opinion, let me get some information?"


    An Feng chewed cashew nuts, crossed his legs, and said comfortably: "Brother!"


    "Brother!" Wang Le grinned.


    An Feng said: "That is to say, send some analysts to conduct on-the-spot investigations, find out your family background, potential and influence, analyze the benefits to both parties after cooperation, etc. There is still great hope. The domestic market is best to cooperate with local people. Cooperation, purely foreign capital is like opening your eyes."


    Wang Le understood: "It means that money comes second, and relationship and potential should be valued?"


    "No matter where you hang out, there must be a few relationships that you can show. Even if you don''t use it, it''s easy to understand policies and so on, what do you think?"


    "It makes sense." Wang Le nodded.


    "If you want to cooperate with bio-drinks, you probably have to wait until next year. At present, all the products sold in the United States are high-end products, and the price is not low in US dollars. The threshold for converting into RMB is still too high. Let��s promote it to the world after it comes out.��


    "Of course, we also need to assess the risk!" Wang Le said.


    "After the cooperation starts, you can properly invest in the core companies of the consortium, such as Xin''s Energy, Express Company or GP Company. It doesn''t need too much, 0.5% of the shares, they are not willing to have more. Then it will officially become an international company. Partner."


    Wang Le asked: "Let me tell you how strong this consortium is, so I can give them a good idea?"


    "It''s very complicated. The consortium is not a centralized holding company. It is decentralized. There are still many fast-growing companies, which can only be estimated by combining all the companies. The assets exceed 1.5 trillion yuan, and the asset-liability ratio of most companies remains normal. , the net worth may be half of it."


    "It''s really awesome, it''s more than one-tenth of the domestic GDP." Wang Le said in surprise, "With so much money, no wonder you dare to say that you are the richest man in the world! If this is the leader of the consortium, the average net worth will be It can also produce a dozen richest men in the world, right?"


    "But you have to know, there are more than a dozen people talking." An Feng said, and did not go deep into the issue of personal wealth.


    "In short, you are rich! You really have accumulated a lot!" Wang Le sighed.


    "What''s so strange, Han Gaozu was only in his fifties when he became emperor."


    "Okay! I won''t tell you! This target is all for the emperor!" Wang Le smiled, his eyes swept to the sea, and the fishing rod was pulled a few times.


    "Hey! The big guy took the bait!" Wang Le jumped up and grabbed the fishing rod, and quickly turned the wheel with the other hand to reel in the line, "It''s not weak! Get the net!"


    An Feng grabbed the fishing net beside him and leaned forward to see a **** guy writhing in the water, pulling the fishing line with all his might, and even the fishing rod was greatly bent, which seemed to be quite powerful. He stepped forward to make a strike, but the distance was not suitable, so he hurriedly said, "Go to the side, it''s too high here!"


    Wang Le pulled the fishing rod and moved to a lower place. Such a big fish would definitely not be able to be pulled up, and he needed to go to the stern.


    "Character explosion! Quack!" Wang Le looked at the big guy struggling in the water with a smile, and took a few steps down the stairs. The big fish was violently churning in the water. The position of going up and down the stairs is relatively short, and the big fish pulled hard...


    As a result, An Feng saw him do somersault, throwing himself and his fishing rod from the boat into the water.


    "Hahaha!" An Feng didn''t care about the fish anymore, he laughed **** the boat before talking.


    Wang Le in the water was thumping. He landed beside the boat, and the fishing rod was still in his hand. Hearing An Feng''s heartless laughter, he became anxious: "Damn! Hurry up! It''s going to run away!"


    "Immediately." An Feng came to the stern with a suppressed smile, handed him the fishing net, and then caught the fishing rod. The strength of the big fish was very strong, but it was a pity that what it bit was a combination hook tied with a fishing line. With six hooks, unless the fishing line is torn off, it is difficult to have a chance of escape.


    An Feng pulled the fishing rod on the shore, Wang Le caught the big fish in the water, and Neil who rushed over gave him a hand, and pulled the man and the fishing net back to the boat. The salmon with black back and white belly in the net was alive and kicking. Hold it down and use the hook remover to remove the explosive hook from the salmon bite.


    "What a big fish!" Several ladies on the boat also gathered around.


    "It''s amazing! I have such superb skills!" Wang Le is not to mention how proud he is now. After putting on his gloves, he hugged the fish, and it took two hands to hold it firmly. Struggling, Wang Le did not forget to remind them: "Quickly take a photo with me!"


    Lisa picked up her phone and took some pictures of him. This guy is only satisfied with posing.


    But where to put the fish in the end became a problem. This time I went fishing purely for entertainment, I didn''t expect to catch a big fish at all, it''s not good to leave it on the yacht and make it dirty, and I don''t want to release Wang Le to kill him. The last thing is to tie up the fishing net, soak it in the water, and leave him on the boat to watch.


    Lisa was very helpless to the childish Wang Le: "Are you happy?"


    "Well! Let''s eat salmon tonight!" Wang Le insisted.


    "Got it! Wash off the fishy smell on your body first!" Lisa said.


    "Sure!" Wang Le walked back to the living area on the ground floor wetly.


    That night they chopped up the salmon they caught. The fish that foreigners can eat is mainly salmon, which is usually sold in supermarkets. The point is that there are no spines. The edible salmon is also very poor, either fried or grilled.


    Lisa and Joanna were in charge of making the French salmon pie. An Feng and Wang Le felt that it was not rich enough, so they advocated sashimi, and the others unanimously opposed it, so they fried it later... They cut the salmon into strips and marinated it for a dozen times. Minutes, then wrap the fish with bacon, string it up with a toothpick, and put it in a pan to fry the oil.


    After the aroma comes out, discuss the steps on the Internet again, then add spices according to personal preference, remove the toothpick from the plate, add some pasta and vegetables for decoration, take a bite with a fork, beef and fish have two different flavors Full of mouth, tender and juicy.


    Wang Le was intoxicated and said: "It''s delicious! Come and taste it, everyone!"


    "Really?" The ladies picked up their forks suspiciously.


    Joanna nodded after trying a piece of bacon roll: "Although it doesn''t look good, it''s delicious! It''s rare that you can make it like this!"


    "Haha!" Wang Le patted the table with both hands, then raised his hand to face An Feng, "Come on!"


    An Feng had no choice but to give him a high five.

 Chapter 300： travel style

    Chapter 300 Travel style


    Time came to the middle of the month.


    An Feng modified part of the intelligent research and development strategy. Since there are difficulties in the intelligent development of classical algorithms, he turned to a more distant concept��quantum computing. As the saying goes, good things come in pairs. Since you want to get in touch with quantum computers, you need quantum communication and quantum encryption.


    Finally, he suggested that the R&D team should review quantum mechanics, so he recruited a group of quantum physics experts. Because of the upcoming high-temperature superconductors, quantum computers do not have to work in a low-temperature environment of minus 200 degrees like the quantum computers developed by Canada''s D-Wave company.


    A few days later, the superconductor, which was impossible to start with, made progress. An Feng had an inspiration one night and wrote down a lot of chemical formulas. For best results to develop.


    This is repetitive and tedious work, without technology but a test of patience, An Feng will not participate.


    Hoffman''s robotics team also brought surprises, perhaps due to the anger at not being able to develop exoskeletons and robots after the theft case. They spent more than half a year laying the foundation, and when the conditions and environment were suitable, they immediately took out the first-generation exoskeletons as Basic bionic machines.


    It''s just that this bionic is not a human being... but an animal.


    An Feng stood at the door of the robot company''s R&D laboratory and witnessed this scene: a group of researchers in white robes were squatting on the ground, several pairs of eyes were staring at a robot creature covered in silver-white metal, and one of them was a technician. Zhai is still imitating "Wang".


    Eye-popping! What made him even more speechless was that the human dog''s behavior successfully provoked the robot dog. It jumped and jumped on the spot, wagging its tail that should be made of polymer materials, and ran to the researchers, showing the flattery that carbon-based dogs possess. , cuteness and mischievousness.


    "Is this your breakthrough?" An Feng observed the machine Wang.


    Hoffman stood up a few times, and the robot dog ran to one of the people''s feet, gracefully raised its hind legs, and made a lifelike movement of a telegraph pole - if it wasn''t covered in metal, if it could Squirting liquid, An Feng thought it was a biological dog.


    Hoffman, who is usually dull, rarely smiled, and explained: "The robot dog uses the intelligent program of Ares through the wireless network to imitate the behavior that a standard pet dog should have."


    An Feng took a closer look and asked, "You mean to support it to perform these biological imitation behaviors, you need a supercomputer?"


    "It only takes up one-tenth of the resources." Hoffman said, "We use intelligent algorithms to add any possibility, and then the intelligent program uses probability to express the characteristics that the robot dog should have. After we test and record , and then write the data into the built-in chip.��


    "Can it get rid of the supercomputer?" An Feng is more concerned about this. If a robot dog needs to occupy one-tenth of the resources of Ares, few people in the world can afford it. What''s more, it''s just a dog with a simple mind. How complicated is it to be a human?


    Hoffman said: "We mainly use computers to screen, in fact, its intelligence can be perfectly handled by an ordinary microchip."


    "Not bad!" An Feng said.


    "Look, sir!" Hoffman handed the robot dog to him.


    It is heavy in the hand, and the weight of the metal is heavier than that of a pet dog of the same size. However, the simple wisdom of animals is perfectly interpreted by supercomputers. All kinds of things are not in line with human logic, but in line with the logic of pets. They want to lick people, Drilling restlessly.


    "It''s really interesting!" An Feng put the robot dog on the ground, and it started to wander around the room again.


    Hoffman brought An Feng to the workbench, which was about the size of a printing, copying and printing all-in-one machine. After pressing it a few times, a holographic three-dimensional map of the robot dog was projected, which contained its structural analysis. No need to introduce, An Feng After a few glances, I knew that the exoskeleton technology was used.


    Obviously, dogs need fewer exoskeletons than humans, so more than a dozen sets of small power-assisted systems, coupled with excellent internal structures, make it as flexible as pet dogs. If you put a bionic skin on it, implant it Hair, coupled with a sounder, it is a pet dog.


    Hoffman introduced something special: "We have simulated according to its body structure and the strength of its materials. It is very strong and durable. The exoskeleton can make its strength and speed many times that of ordinary dogs, making it respond faster and more Flexibility and longer life."


    "If you want to use it for a special purpose, such as a hunting dog." Hoffman clicked the image a few times, and the hologram enlarged the mouth of the robot dog, "We can replace the temporomandibular joint in its mouth with a stronger assist system. Come on, it''s enough to bite off a hard thigh bone!"


    There are many things that the robot dog can improve, and it is amazing, but this is not the final task of the robot team. They start from easy to complex��starting from simple machinery, and then developing to complex human bodies. Bionic robots will use exoskeletons, Endoskeleton as well as separate systems.


    The structure of human beings is not the best, and the simulation is only for concealment. It is used in other reptile work such as exploration work, underground excavation, etc. For example, the shape of pangolin is more suitable for walking, and the snake shape of exploration is more suitable, so the direction of development is very broad.


    After An Feng learned about the process, he decided to allocate funds to the robot research and development team.


    Using a separate chip is promising if it can escape the control of a supercomputer. An Feng plans to customize a few robot pets after they are finished. In addition to the purely funny short legs, there are also long-legged and slim-fitting high-cold hounds. They will be covered with a layer of bionic skin, which is no different from the real ones.


    ��


    A day later, Bazel spoke to him.


    "Franson wants to talk to you about bio-drinks. He hopes to cooperate with us next year as a sign of joining the Hart family. If you have no other urgent arrangements, it''s best to come over. Make an appointment on this matter. It''s too late to express your opinion."


    After An Feng was reminded by Bazel, he realized that he had procrastinated and left important things behind. He said, "I see, I will arrive in the second half of the month."


    An Feng has a lot of things to do in the UK. In addition to the necessary social gatherings to broaden the local circle, there is also the development of Nokia. He promised that he could provide hardware, in addition to the necessary chips and batteries, there are also Important cameras are missing.


    Joanna is also the same. As the new owner of Liverpool, the Premier League has started for a month, but she still has no news. She is probably a big enough name. Goodrich euphemistically conveyed the team''s high-level hope that the boss can be present at least once to bring some good luck to the team.


    There is also the matter of the charitable foundation. The expansion of the scale has been completed. At present, the remaining tens of millions can be donated in a high-profile way. With the help of politicians and media newspapers, Smith of BAE company has guaranteed that if it goes well. , Give her a medal by next year.


    An Feng felt that it was not an exaggeration to give the title directly to the advantages obtained by the exoskeleton. But if foreigners can��t be flexible, the British are the best. They are old-fashioned and dogmatic. They have no choice but to implement the plan according to the steps they think are appropriate.


    Then consider travel issues.


    They definitely need to bring bodyguards this time. In the United States, a country that is generally enthusiastic about football, the feeling is not clear, but in Europe, as the owner of a wealthy team, although it is not as eye-catching as the stars, it is inevitable to attract crowds. The bodyguards lead the way And guards are very important.


    With a bodyguard, you have to consider the car issue.


    An Feng asked Joanna: "What brand of car do the British like best?"


    "Audi." Joanna''s answer was straightforward.


    "I also think that there are so many Audis in the UK." An Feng was deeply touched. Different from the rareness of American Audis, the British people often rank first in their love for Audis.


    Therefore, An Feng follows the trend and chooses Audi as a scooter. The land in the UK is small, and foreign private jets require a lot of take-offs and landings. All in all, a car is a good choice. Considering factors such as bodyguards and safety, low-key, luxurious and connotative cars are the first choice. It just so happens that the Audi is decent.


    The convention is based on An Feng��s character, if you have money, you must be worthy of your own butt, and if you want it, you need an A8 with the largest displacement and the strongest engine. If V6 and V8 are directly clicked, you need 12 cylinders. It seems wasteful, but in his "centralization of gravity" plan, US investment can be slowed down, and the UK becomes a candidate.


    An Feng called Goodrich and asked him to get two top-equipped A8s.


    For politicians or celebrities, A8 is low-key enough, although it is not low-key enough for Phaeton, but the "A8" on the back of its **** can be deducted, and the logo of A6 can be swapped... After Joanna learned of his strange idea , I feel that his heart is full of contradictions and inconceivable.


    An Feng wanted to say that he had seen this kind of weirdness before.


    ��


    The days without work and classes are very free, and you can leave as you please.


    An Feng��s Global 8000 can finally take a smooth transcontinental flight, and he can also comfortably experience the comfort of staying in bed throughout the journey. He ignores the seats and sofas when he gets on the plane. The big bed is fatally attractive to him, and he doesn''t want to get up when he falls on it.


    Watching a movie, squinting for a few more hours, wandering around the inside of the plane, looking at the white clouds outside the window, and finally, when they felt it was time to go to bed, they met the morning in London... Walking out of the airport with jet lag, empty-handed, four The bodyguard played the role well.


    Fortunately, September in the UK is relatively cool, otherwise a bunch of black suits that don''t fit in with the crowd are walking in the airport, and people around them will keep their distance from them. But now the difference is not big, since they came out, the bodyguards followed them quietly.


    An Feng has gotten used to this kind of presence, or style.


    He and Joanna came outside the airport, and the pick-up car stopped in front of them. Two black and solemn A8s, if you don''t look carefully, you will feel that they are so ordinary in the traffic flow... The bodyguard opened the door and covered the roof with his hand Ask them to sit in, and then get into the front and rear cars respectively.


    The low-key car started and left the airport quickly.

 Chapter 301： crash

    Chapter 301 Crash


    Back to the apartment in London, except for Scarlett, the bodyguards can''t accommodate so many people, and it''s not convenient, so the other bodyguards choose nearby hotels. The business trip subsidy is very generous, if it is not a task, it can be regarded as a trip.


    The next day, the two of them formally dressed up and went out to do business first.


    The location provided by Franson is a private business club in London. It looks very ordinary and inconspicuous. It is just like the historical buildings in London. It is simple and vicissitudes. And An Feng was invited by the boss as a VIP.


    Parking at the gate, An Feng got out of the car and took Joanna to the gate.


    The manager of the clubhouse is waiting near the door early. He has received orders from the boss to receive two distinguished guests today.


    So the moment the two low-key Audis stopped, the manager immediately stepped out and looked at a man and a woman who were walking slowly under the **** of several bodyguards. The manager recognized at a glance that this was the boss''s distinguished guest, and greeted him personally, with warm greetings and door-opening service.


    "Sir and Madam, welcome! Please follow me!" The manager invited them in, and the bodyguards dispersed automatically. Private clubs pay much attention to privacy, bodyguards have special activity areas, and other places are in charge of the club. The more high-end, the more energy invested in privacy and security services.


    Walking inside the clubhouse, you can immediately feel the luxurious atmosphere that is different from the simple appearance.


    It is a full-service club with lounge areas, bars, restaurants, conference halls for private hire, in order to provide the best and most special equipment, services and products, as well as lounge areas for informal dinners, formal restaurants and private banquet halls.


    "This way, please!" The manager reminded appropriately, not only leaving time for the guests to watch, but also not forgetting the reception task.


    Take the elevator to the third floor and meet friends in the private box.


    Franson and Bazel''an Peak are both familiar. This time there is a middle-aged man who is slightly younger than Franson. The name he introduced is Louis, who is also an important member of the Hart family. Strictly speaking, he represents the Hart family to the shareholders of Burger Corporation, serving as chairman.


    An Feng shook hands with Louis, remembering him, and after they sat down, the waiter served dessert.


    "Very nice place." An Feng gave an opening remark, which was very vulgar and simple, but it was better than the bad habit of British people talking about the weather when they meet.


    Franzen smiled: "Sir, if you like it, I will create a membership for you. If there are business activities in the future, it will be very convenient here."


    "That''s exactly what I mean, thank you!" An Feng accepted the gift. This is actually an elite club, and membership is also a status symbol.


    But for a rich man of his level, the status of an elite club is dispensable, unless it is a top-level one, such as one established within a consortium��every time a group gathering in Santa Barbara is an elite club, it does not have members. Because only consortium members can participate.


    Franson is very happy: "On behalf of all members, I welcome Mr. and Mrs. An to join!"


    An Feng continued to chat with him a few words, tasted some desserts, and went through the process according to the rules, before getting down to business. Bazel talked about the idea of ??the Hart family, and wanted to use the key cooperation with bio-drinks as a sign of cooperation with the consortium, and at the same time launch other joints.


    An Feng picked up the key question: "Is it the shares of the head office or the shares of the British company?"


    "We hope that part of the company will belong to the head office and part of the subsidiaries." Franson said, "We have already worked out the plan."


    "Please speak." An Feng listened.


    "The Hart family is willing to invest and hold 20% of the shares of the head office in the United States. In addition, we hold 40% or more of the subsidiaries established in the UK. In the calculation of the relevant share prices, the market value or the value of the same industry Do the math, sir?"


    After thinking about it, An Feng replied: "The problem of the subsidiary company is not big, but for the head office, there are other business partners who are negotiating with me at present, and the share you are asking for is too much. In addition, my valuation of 20% is more than 2 billion yuan. . On this point, we still have to discuss carefully.��


    Bazel duly reminded: "The beverage company is the task of all of us, and it is currently run by the Blueline family."


    Everyone here understands that Bazel regards Beta as an enterprise at the same level as Xinshi Energy, American Express, and GP, that is, the first level of consortium control, so he is very particular about the share, 20% in one breath, I am afraid is second only to the founder''s share.


    "We will focus on the share of the head office." Franson said.


    The company has a bright future. In order to let every member of the consortium enjoy the benefits, it is no problem to hold shares in the head office, but taxation must be considered. And if each region sets up a subsidiary controlled by the head office, the funds will not flow to the United States, reducing links and reducing taxes.


    For example, the profits of a British subsidiary do not need to be distributed to the headquarters in the United States. The funds can be kept overseas and used to make other business investments, avoid multiple corporate income taxes, and can also be distributed to zero-tax companies to share the interests of shareholders. , can also avoid taxation.


    ��


    Finally, it was discussed that the Hart family holds 45% of the shares in the British subsidiary. As for the head office, the subsidiary is estimated to be able to operate next year. With reference to the strong response of beverages in the United States, it will also be very popular in the UK-because there are currently people engage in import business.


    An Feng, who has given so many shares, naturally cannot lose money. The Hart family will pay at least 50 times the price according to the markets of neighboring countries that the subsidiary can radiate. Generally speaking, the investment is very risky. There are two reasons for their high price: it has a bright future; and it is the contribution of a new member.


    The business in the morning is over, after lunch with them, the afternoon is free for leisure.


    Late September coincides with London Fashion Week, and it will last until the end of the month, so Joanna will definitely attend several fashion shows and choose clothes among various advanced customizations. Through the service of American Express, she carefully selected some well-known designer''s conferences, ready to chase fashion.


    There is no program today, so Joanna drove out for a stroll.


    Because it was a convertible, and because she was driving it, in order to avoid being recognized and avoiding the elegant and generous style of the past, she changed her attire: she put on trousers, a pair of silk blue-gray trousers, the trousers were rolled up, and she stepped on deer. Leather pointed boots, a coat, and a shoulder chain bag.


    Come out to show An Feng, and he left a sentence: "My Lady Queen!"


    Joanna grinned, and put on another pair of sunglasses. The Queen''s cold aura became stronger. She asked, "Is there anyone else who can recognize it?"


    "I can''t even recognize it." An Feng said exaggeratedly.


    "Okay, follow me!" Joanna walked to the white Huracan in the parking lot, opened the door and sat in the driver''s seat, and An Feng cooperated with the co-pilot.


    Since it is a queen, it is natural to have bodyguards worthy of the status, so the bodyguards followed in two Audi A8s. Joanna reversed the Lamborghini, kicked the accelerator, and the roar of the bull rang through the parking lot, and the sirens of other cars rang.


    An Feng put on sunglasses and gave a thumbs up: "You are amazing!"


    Joanna drove the car onto the road and merged into the traffic. The weather in London in September has turned cold, but it is quite suitable to drive a convertible in the afternoon. In the comfort mode, the convenience of electronic assistance allows ladies who are not used to sports cars to easily control this beast to blow up the street.


    At this time, there are still many outsiders on the streets of London��Arabian sports cars.


    Generally, August is the most, followed by September, because the temperature in the Middle East is generally 40 degrees Celsius during this period, and the local tyrants all come to occupy London, and use their planes to airlift their exaggerated and expensive sports cars... Joanna is now giving to the native British People look for places.


    Seeing that she was enjoying her role-playing, An Feng obediently cooperated with Her Majesty the Queen.


    Walk a few streets, eat some desserts and drinks, and continue to drive on the roads in London. Every time I pass an intersection or wait at a red light, I can get the sideways glances of passers-by, and they pick up their mobile phones to take pictures. The beauty effect is very strong, and Huracan successfully steals the scene.


    It''s a pity that the streets of London are full of people and cars, and most sports cars wither away with a roar. There are too many cars to drive, no matter how awesome the Lamborghini is, it has to follow the car in front slowly like the classic taxi beside it. In fact, this is only for people with money and time to play.


    After driving for a short distance, avoiding the traffic jam area, there is a lot of space in front of me.


    The sports car whose speed was suppressed could finally roar and run wildly. Joanna stepped on the accelerator, and the speed of the sports car soared. Fortunately, the 12-cylinder A8 behind him is also strong enough, and its acceleration ability can keep up with that of a sports car, otherwise the bodyguard would lose his job.


    These streets are still near the central area of ??London, and there are also sports cars around. A few cars followed behind Joanna. When passing an intersection ahead, a car suddenly turned out. She quickly stepped on the brakes, followed by "Boom." With a sound, the car body shook.


    An Feng almost didn''t have to think about it, he chased after him!


    They were followed by other cars. Joanna was driving very fast in front of her. The car that came out of the intersection suddenly made her brake. The car behind her was not close, but the reaction was very slow. It couldn''t stop and hit the rear of the Lamborghini. The impact energy absorption technology makes the debris of the two vehicles splash.


    Because the speed was not high, it did not meet the requirements for the airbag to pop up. An Feng and Joanna were fine, just shocked. It was a black Ferrari 458 that rear-ended them. Because of the same protection technology, the front of the car looked rotten. In fact, the driver was fine.


    But in the eyes of the following bodyguards, the slow scene was suspicious. So at the moment of the rear-end collision, An Feng''s bodyguards all got out of the car and rushed over. At the same time, several sports cars with license plates in Arabic letters also stopped, and a few Arabs walked out, and the bodyguards stared at them vigilantly.


    I don��t know if it��s because Americans see Arabs as dangerous elements, but one of the bodyguards said in a bad tone: ��Stand back!��


    An Feng had just unbuckled his seat belt, and when he looked back, the two groups tended to get together and stare at each other, speaking English on the one hand and muttering Arabic on the other, An Feng opened the door and got out of the car to take a look , but was blocked by bodyguards. That''s when people and bodyguards started shoving.


    Someone pushed the bodyguard, and then he was knocked down by the skilled bodyguard. Other people around shouted and surrounded him.


    The atmosphere suddenly became tense.


    Scarlett immediately pulled Joanna away: "Go to the car!"


    An Feng was also about to step back and let the bodyguard handle it. At this time, a polished purple Bentley GT stopped, and the window was rolled down, revealing a familiar face: "Bruce?"


    "Khalid?" An Feng also recognized him.


    "They are friends! Misunderstanding!" Khalid had a bad feeling and hurried out of the car. An Feng''s two bodyguards have been surrounded by each other, and they are in chaos!

    Those Arabs also had a bad temper, and the rear-end car was responsible for the rear-end collision. They dared to ask for an explanation aggressively. Although it may not mean that, but now who cares about the reason? After An Feng''s bodyguard fell to each other beautifully, they gathered around to fight.


    These people probably are usually either rich or powerful, and they don��t have the slightest fear in the face of three strong men in black, and they look like they just roll up their sleeves and do it. The incident happened in a busy neighborhood with many tourists around. Seeing this scene, they stopped and discussed, and most of them condemned outsiders.


    Because the locals don��t like these Middle Eastern tyrants who drive luxury sports cars and use the streets of London as tracks and testing grounds. Every summer, a large group of Arabs will automatically fly their cars over, creating traffic pressure for the city, causing sound pollution, and emitting exhaust gas... Now, the rich hit the rich, and the audience laughed and watched The two fight each other and join in the fun.


    Just as a fight was about to break out, Khaled walked over and shouted, "Stop it all!"


    An Feng saw Khalid''s statement, so he stepped forward and said, "Stop first!"


    The bodyguards consciously gathered around Anfeng. The profession requires bodyguards not to be aggressive, but to protect the employer as the primary goal. Just because the other party had an aggressive behavior, they acted in self-defense. Now the situation has calmed down. If someone comes forward, it will naturally stop.


    Khalid spoke in Arabic over there. The faces of those people were angry, but they didn''t mean to contradict them. An Feng quietly watched the tense development. You can leave, as a professional bodyguard, this is very correct.


    Soon, nearby motorcycle patrols rushed to the scene.


    After talking with his friends, Khaled said to An Feng: "How about we go to the side of the road to talk about things?"


    "Okay." An Feng didn''t want to stand in the middle of the road to obstruct the traffic, so he followed them to the sidewalk and asked the traffic police to intervene in the accident investigation.


    Khalid explained to him: "They are wrong about this matter. Those guys are ignorant and have a bad temper, which made everyone misunderstand!"


    "It''s okay, I''m not sure about it either." An Feng said.


    A young man walked out of the crowd, with the same light beard as Khaled, and a handsome face, which seemed extraordinary. The people who followed him were vaguely headed by him. Khalid introduced Said: "Bruce, he is my friend Saeed, from Dubai."


    "Sayed, this is Bruce, my American friend."


    Said can speak English, he smiled and reached out to An Feng: "I apologize for this matter on behalf of my friend, and will give compensation, Bruce."


    "Follow the police''s assessment." An Feng said. He didn''t ask for a price, nor did he say that the matter was exposed.


    The Middle Eastern man driving the Ferrari just now stood in front of him obediently, and said in English that he was not fluent in: "I''m sorry, sir!"


    "I accept!" An Feng said, the police over there were determining the responsibility for the accident, but obviously, when driving through a traffic light intersection, if you followed too closely and rear-ended, the responsibility lies with the car behind; if you followed too far and rear-ended, the responsibility was even greater. It''s the car behind. So it depends on how they pay for the accident.


    Saeed winked, and the Ferrari man backed away immediately, and he said to An Feng: "The thing is that we made mistakes first, and we can accept it no matter how we deal with it, but this is not the place to talk about things now, why don''t we change the occasion ? Leave an assistant to deal with this matter?"


    Khalid also said: "Let''s find a place to drink something, this matter is easy to solve."


    An Feng agreed: "Okay."


    An Feng left behind a driver who was familiar with the local area, and sat in an Audi to catch up with the local tyrants with various sports cars in front, and came to a nearby luxuriously decorated coffee shop. I heard that Arabs like to drink coffee, especially Turkish coffee, so it is not unexpected to choose this place to talk about things.


    After they came in, Said said a few words to the person beside him, and then the person went to the waiter and asked the waiter to reserve all the tables around... An Feng only heard a few words when he passed by, but he was worthy of the name of a local tyrant. He and Joanna sat down at one of the tables.


    Saeed and Khaled sat opposite him, the attendants sat around, An Feng''s bodyguard also sat next to him, the waiter came over, and they each ordered coffee. An Feng didn''t like coffee, but since it was a rich man''s treat, He just ordered one at random, and Joanna was still cool: "Same as him."


    Saeed took out a Lamborghini key from his pocket, put it on the table, raised his chin to signal a Lamborghini Aventador parked outside, and said sincerely: "In order to express my apology to Mr. An, I will compensate you for this car. Here you go, okay?"


    An Feng glanced at the metallic black sports car outside the window, and turned his head back with a smile in his eyes.


    Khalid explained: "Sayed is sincere, he hopes that the misunderstanding will not affect everyone''s friendship, and he also hopes to be friends with you."


    An Feng casually picked up the car key, and simply gave it away, he didn''t take money seriously! Moreover, Aventador is much more expensive than Huracan. It is worthwhile to crash a "Maverick" in exchange for a cooler and faster "Daniel". An Feng was disrespectful: "OK!"


    Said smiled and said again: "Mr. An, let me introduce myself. I am from Dubai and I am the youngest son of Muhammad."


    Khalid knew that the outside world didn��t know much about the Middle East, and Muhammad��s name was too common, so he explained: ��It��s the current Sheikh of Dubai.��


    "I''m glad to meet you too, Your Royal Highness!" An Feng said with a bit of playfulness.


    Everyone laughed, and the previous atmosphere eased a lot. Khaled said to them: "I said that Bruce is a good friend to deal with. Don''t let some misunderstandings that should have been avoided hurt the peace. Bruce is my good friend. , Saeed too, so you too."


    "Of course." The Prince of Dubai smiled. Apparently, Khalid had already told him clearly in the car just now that An Feng is the core of the American conglomerate, a person who affects the economy and politics, and it is the most stupid to fight against such a person. What''s more, this crash is not a big deal at all.


    Smart Saeed naturally knows what he needs to do. Sending a supercar to make amends is nothing. If he drove the Bugatti Veyron today, he would not hesitate. Because building a good relationship with a consortium leader is far more valuable than having conflicts with him.


    Because of this misunderstanding, they did not know each other. They chatted for a long time in the coffee shop and invited An Feng to participate in the play activities. Some plans, in the end Saeed also participated.


    An Feng naturally did not refuse, because it was a public place.


    Finally made an appointment with them, An Feng said goodbye, approached the Lamborghini with the car key, after it was automatically unlocked, he pulled up the cool scissor door and invited Joanna to sit in. He sat in the driver''s seat and started the car. An Feng is very familiar with it. There is a white convertible version in Florida, and the current Black Knight is more serious.


    The driving experience is the same, the acceleration performance is stronger, but there is no convertible, and the wind cannot be blown.


    "Do you like it?" An Feng asked, "How about we find a way to use big pliers to remove the roof?"


    "Don''t laugh at me!" Joanna pinched him. Last time, she suggested removing the roof of the Aston Martin and using it as a convertible to travel...


    "Be careful, I''m driving!" An Feng smiled and drove back.


    ��


    After a good rest in the morning the next day, it''s time to get ready to chase fashion in the afternoon.


    Joanna had a lot of thoughts: "In addition to the clothing display, there is also a fashion jewelry exhibition as in previous years, gathering the works of emerging British designers. Last year, we didn''t participate because we didn''t have time. Some of my favorite rings were ordered. What a pity! It must be early this year."


    "Okay, I will be responsible for packing for you then." An Feng nodded.


    "That''s great!" She sat on An Feng''s lap, the breeze was blowing outside the balcony, and her smile was like a spring breeze.


    Although there is already a royal brand, the love of beauty is the same as the appetite, and it is unsatisfactory again and again. Before attending the fashion show, Joanna tried on a lot of clothes and asked An Feng to give her comments. The degree of competition among the female participants is no less than that of the models on the stage.


    After finally deciding to pack, notify Khalid and set off together.


    The two groups got into their own cars. Khalid drove a Bentley and Said Rolls Royce, while An Feng drove a low-key Audi. The convoy went to Somerset House, where London Fashion Week was held in this neoclassical building with a strong sense of history and tradition.


    Although London Fashion Week ranks among the top four in the world, compared to the other three, it is somewhat unknown. There are no big brands gathered in Paris, and there is no exaggerated trend in New York, but it adds unique vitality and charm to this dull city. , interpreting the splendor of the newcomers.


    An Feng participated in a fashion show with a retro style. There were not many big names present, but Joanna liked it very much. These generous and decent styles, with aristocratic style fashions, are conservative but not old-fashioned, and the colors are monotonous but not lacking in trends... in Contradictions, the interpretation of the unique British style.


    An Feng also chatted with Khalid and Said about some art topics.


    After the grand press conference, if there is more time, we will go to drink afternoon tea together.


    Chatting at the dinner table took the most time, from fashion to London, then from London to London weather, to the heat of Qatar, and then to desert greening and seawater desalination, An Feng got involved in the recent biological project of the research center , and the plans of Anshi Industries.


    Khalid listened and was very interested: "You mean that American companies are conducting research on desert greening?"


    "The method avoids tradition and makes full use of technology." An Feng stirred the black tea in the cup with a spoon, "We have concentrated genes with various drought-resistant characteristics and cultivated plants with strong adaptability, from weeds to shrubs As for the trees, as long as there is one or two rainfalls every year, the desert will become an oasis sooner or later.��


    "Genetic engineering must be complicated?" Khaled asked.


    "If it is done manually, it may require more than one million billion attempts, and it will not be completed in hundreds of years, and most of the elements are luck, but now it is different. We have supercomputers to complete the inference of the data model. Only need Results in a few weeks."


    "Great!" Khaled admired, "If it succeeds, I am very interested in greening technology."


    Although Saeed still doesn��t know much about Anfeng, he can hear that this is a powerful technology, and said: ��Dubai also needs green very much!��


    An Feng smiled: "Don''t worry, if the effect is outstanding, I will take the initiative to come to discuss business."


    "That''s it!" Khaled said.

 Chapter 303： live watching

    Chapter 303 Watching the battle on the spot


    After visiting London for a few days, Joanna set off with a full harvest.


    An Feng drove an Aston Martin and took Joanna to Birmingham, more than 100 kilometers away, followed by a bodyguard car not too far away. Driving a sports car is subject to a democratic vote. What An Feng needs bodyguards now is privacy protection, but it is obviously unnecessary in this driving environment.


    So he drove out the Vantage that had been abandoned in the garage for a while, and enjoyed the British country roads.


    The road conditions in London were very good just after driving out of London. The weather was good. Although it was not clear, we could still see some light blue sky. When we were enjoying the driving, the weather changed suddenly. Before the windshield, the rain was light but incessant.


    Arrived in Birmingham under this kind of rain.


    This city, known as the "cradle of the industrial revolution", has been visited several times by An Feng. It is different from London''s buildings and streets with vicissitudes of history. Because of the German bombing, most of the Victorian buildings were destroyed, and the British reused them. Reinforced concrete built high-rise buildings on the ruins.


    This time, I stopped by and inspected the company.


    Nothing else, as An Feng, who has almost no business and no shares, just took a few glances as a tourist, and accompanied Joanna, the director and largest shareholder of the company, to appear on the stage. She listened to the reports of the company''s management personnel and gave a more professional view on the operation, and her performance was by no means a vase.


    The work of the machinery company is mostly step-by-step, because its technical support is the robot company, the technology is guaranteed, and the research and development is not the top priority. Technicians are needed.


    After the visit, go to the next stop, Berg Company.


    Burger Company is located in the city center. As a large enterprise with assets of more than 500 million pounds, it is located in a new fifteen-story office building. Six to ten floors are used by the company. It concentrates various departments and technology research and development areas. It is currently in full swing. Launch new mobile phone development.


    GP''s technical support is very good. Several technical team leaders have been met by An Feng in Dezhou. After getting the Nokia mobile phone brand this time, everyone will work hard, even if they slow down, they must improve their advantages and strive to release It will be a blockbuster and start a turnaround battle.


    For now, technology is secondary, mainly software and service issues. The backward compatibility is very strong, but we must pay attention to forming our own characteristics, so the initial focus is backward compatibility, and the new system will be perfected after the first mobile phone is released. The design of the new system is more future-proof.


    Finally, the director of the company reported the overall progress to Joanna. The mobile phone will be finalized by the end of this year. The press conference should be in January and February, and the content is already being prepared. In the end, an engineering machine was given as a gift, and my wife was invited to participate in the experience and give opinions as a consumer of electronic products.


    It was a strategic mistake for them not to send two mobile phones. The information and intelligence work is not good enough. I don��t know that An Feng is the most professional. But An Feng only looks and doesn''t speak, the current status of the husband of the director of the company, let a strong woman appear, we are only responsible for holding the handbag and holding hands.


    Joanna took the construction machine and pressed it a few times, then handed it over to An Feng, and continued to visit.


    "You are really famous!" An Feng said, took the phone and checked it carefully. The fuselage is made of metal, and the battery cannot be disassembled, but for the graphene battery, it doesn��t matter whether it is disassembled or not. With a high-voltage charger, it can be fully charged in fifteen minutes, and then it will be ready for half a month of standby time.


    But the fuselage is costly. Such a piece of metal is obviously cut out from a whole metal plate. Although the workmanship is exquisite, it wastes raw materials. If there is a 3D printer, it will be more economical to form it from the inside to the outside, and it can also be used to show off. , Said that mobile phones are high-end products of 3D printing.


    Can��t blame An Feng, this was all brainwashed by domestic manufacturers before.


    The experience in other aspects is the same as that of the vest phone. The graphene screen is highly transparent, the display effect is delicate, and it is anti-drop and anti-smashing. Coupled with the metal body, it is not at all worthy of Nokia''s reputation of being able to smash walnuts. I am afraid This thing can also be used as a hammer to hammer nails in the future.


    In terms of hardware, it goes without saying that if you use a graphene chip to flash those boring software that compares with benchmark scores, it should explode. If you play benchmarks to this extent, the score is of little significance��unless you have obsessive-compulsive disorder. The chip is a collection of central processing unit and graphics processing, both of which are very strong.


    The only downside is the camera. After all, there is a gap between mobile phones and professional cameras or SLRs. With the same 8 million pixels, SLRs can easily abuse mobile phones by more than a dozen streets. case, it doesn''t match up.


    An Feng considered letting them order the camera from the robot company. The wide-angle camera used in the aircraft is very good, and the manufacturing level is very advanced. It is not difficult to manufacture ordinary cameras, but the cost is the problem... After An Feng whispered in Joanna''s ear, the female leader nod.


    "I think the camera is a shortcoming." Joanna said bluntly.


    ��We''re looking for the best in the market and making them work together,�� says a technology development executive.


    "I suggest using robotics companies, they are already a level ahead in the development of camera technology, and it will be a good choice." She said.


    "We will focus on it." The technical director said.


    The trip to Berg Company also ended in the afternoon. The major shareholder was hungry, so naturally he was not in the mood to continue the following activities. He turned around and got into the car after being greeted by the bodyguards. This scene appeared downstairs: the employer took a luxury car in a low-key manner , while the bodyguard drove a high-profile sports car.


    After dinner, I went to visit Birmingham, but to be honest, there is nothing to do in it. Shopping is an option, but Joanna said that the Bullring Shopping Center is the ugliest in the world, and An Feng dismissed this idea. It looks good from the outside Also idiosyncratic. Finally they go to... read books.


    The Birmingham Library is said to be the largest in Europe, with a total of nine floors, a rich collection of books, a large number of Chinese books, and the shadow of some best-selling novels. The most important thing is that it is free, just walk in empty-handed, find the book you like, and then find a place to sit down and read slowly.


    This evening was particularly cultural.


    ��


    The next day I didn��t stay any longer. Liverpool��s home game kicked off at 2:00 p.m., and I had to drive hundreds of kilometers to the local area, and then I had to move my luggage into the hotel and dress up carefully. As the female boss''s first appearance on the field, there will definitely be cameras sweeping over her, so don''t pay attention.


    I don��t feel it deeply in the United States, but in the UK, the attention of the local female boss in England is not small.


    Although she has no public social account and is very low-key, all kinds of mysteries can arouse fans'' curiosity, and they pay a lot of attention to her, including the asset issue that has been debated, and the appearance of every public appearance... Just a few days ago, someone A beautiful photo of her attending Fashion Week was taken.


    Finally voted by Red Army fans: the most fashionable female boss.


    If she opened an official Weibo account or something, she might be able to earn a lot of fans. Therefore, when dealing with public places, it is necessary for her to maintain her image��after she has fixed her image, she will not be easily recognized in the street in disguise, such as the cool look in London.


    After lunch, Joanna returned to the hotel to prepare her luggage and asked Scarlett to help her. An Feng is the same as the bodyguards, wearing a black suit and white shirt. The difference is that the bodyguards wear a tie, but An Feng does not. He is open-minded, does not need cool sunglasses, and wears a famous watch to show his difference.


    An Feng then asked Neil to help him buy a few football lottery tickets and bet on Liverpool.


    When the afternoon approached, the convoy set off.


    Limited by the number of seats, An Feng and Joanna sat in the back row with automatic curtains, and the sports car had to be driven by bodyguards. There was this scene in front of Anfield Stadium: Aston Martin roared and drove to the side of the road and stopped. Two ruthless bodyguards got down and opened the door for Audi.


    The weather in the afternoon is still warm, the sun is showing its face, and the temperature is nearly 20 degrees Celsius. Two-piece suits are very suitable, and so is Joanna, with a knee-length dress inside, a silk jacket outside, and a pair of high-top boots, although not the previous few times The extravagance is overwhelming, but still noble and glamorous.


    As early as after the female boss gave the club a response to the game, the management sent someone to wait at the entrance. It was easy to tell who came, and it must be the one followed by four bodyguards, three men and one woman. The receptionist came up to say hello: "Mister and Madam, please follow me this way!"


    An Feng and Joanna walked into the Anfield Stadium. At this time, there were about ten minutes left before the start of the game. Most of the audience had already arrived. At a glance, they were all red, the clothes were red, the flags were red, and even the chairs were red. is red. To paste the couplet again, it is all about the celebration of the Chinese New Year.


    The VIP seat is taken to the main stand by the reception. The VIP seat is usually the area with the best view of the game. According to the previous requirements, considering safety and privacy, the first, second and third rows should be reserved for the boss and her bodyguards. Some of the team''s management will also be present later.


    The female boss came out from the aisle, and the surrounding fans stared sideways. Since it was not a separate box, the VIP seats were the most upright, but it was also the busiest area. There were all Red Army fans around. Naturally, they had heard about the female boss of the team for a long time. , appeared after a thousand calls, and immediately aroused cheers, and even a small range of standing and applause. The four bodyguards were a little stressed to cope with these formations, and walked ahead.


    Joanna nodded to them, smiled and sat down in the front row.


    The fans sighed: "The boss is domineering. To watch a game, you have to clear the three rows of seats around you!"


    The position where the bodyguard sits blocks the line of sight, but before the game starts, everyone likes to aim randomly, especially the female boss who is constantly guessed by the outside world. From the moment he entered the arena to when he sat down, An Feng could feel hundreds of eyes sweeping over them. This might be the beauty effect.


    However, this situation was quickly transferred by the kick-off game.


    Today is Liverpool''s home game against Everton. After the game started, the team CEO Ivan came over, sat down beside Joanna, and used the opening time to introduce the situation. At present, the player transfer fee of 150 million pounds has been used up and fresh blood has been injected.


    This money bought five players, the highest was 50 million pounds, and the lesser was 10 million pounds. There were famous players and newcomers. The external evaluation was quite good, and they all had potential. From the start to the present four rounds of competition, The overall coordination is within the ideal range of the coach, and it is worth the money.


    After the game starts, there is a huge difference between being on the scene and on the TV. You may still be able to keep up with the rhythm of the game after going to the bathroom in front of the TV, but not here��the fans are too enthusiastic, surrounded by a heat wave, Emotions touch everyone''s heart all the time.


    Every time Liverpool''s players attack and rush to the opponent''s penalty area, everyone cheers. An Feng is also a fake fan. If he didn''t take his identity into account, he might stand up and shout at them, such as "" Will he-mother cum!" and so on.


    Joanna watched the game calmly. The probability of a woman liking football is not high. If her team is not playing, she might not be able to lift her spirits. The situation is better now. After listening to Aiwen''s explanation, and then looking at the high price to buy The performance of the players, I hope they will have the motivation to score goals.


    The game broke the deadlock in the 35th minute. A forward of the Red Army passed the ball to the right of two players in a row. After stabbing the center forward in front of him to stop the ball, he volleyed from the edge of the small penalty area. In the net, Liverpool won the first goal after the start.


    The audience cheered, and An Feng and Joanna also stood up and applauded. When the camera was aimed at the boss, Joanna gave a thumbs up and smiled. Even the live TV commentary jokingly attributed the power of the Red Army''s ferocious attack to their beautiful boss.


    After An Feng sat down, he asked Neil beside him, "Look, how much did you buy for me when I scored a goal?"


    "Two hundred pounds." Neil said.


    "Choked to death!" An Feng clenched his fists in celebration. If there is a competition, there must be a lottery. Although the money is not much, it is a kind of fun to make yourself more involved.


    "I caught you!" Joanna reminded him.


    An Feng smiled: "It''s okay, someone has to be more enthusiastic, and I will make it up for you!"


    The game continued, the Liverpool players became more confident after scoring the goal, the new players performed really well, and the excitement continued until the end of the game. The final result was a 2-0 home victory. The whole process cooperated tacitly, and every attack was aggressive. Nice fight.


    The players started hugging Goji on the court, and the fans stood up and cheered.


    After the game is over, a camera is aimed at the boss seat. Joanna is naturally smiling. If the camera captures the frowning face of the boss, it will be a big deal. The feeling of the female boss supervising the battle is indeed different, and her appearance is also very good. The live broadcast camera specially gave her a few extra seconds of close-up.


    Joanna applauded, leaving a very sweet smile for the camera.


    Some fans shouted for welfare, if there is another kiss, the scene will boil. However, there are also some people who firmly believe that the goddess of coldness must be dignified enough. If she blows kisses like other women, she will fall into a clich��. As the boss with the strongest sense of substitution in England, the British pay close attention to her.

 Chapter 304： Difficult to keep a low profile

    Chapter 304 Difficult to keep a low profile


    After a game is over, they are invited to the locker room.


    This is a benefit that ordinary fans do not have, and it is also a place that fans yearn for. The locker room is the cultural center of the team, and the area that can best feel the nature of the team. The performance of the players on the court is well known to the public, but the real emotions can only be reflected in the locker room.


    At this moment, the Liverpool locker room is filled with the joy of victory. People are still in the corridor, and the excitement of singing and talking can be felt from a distance. Players and club executives are also inside, and champagne is indispensable for celebration. The players gather together Hee hee haha, all kinds of funny nature are undoubtedly revealed.


    After the boss of the team appeared, the coach Rodgers suppressed his hands and asked the group to be quiet, listening to the views and feelings of the female boss on the game. Joanna was popular because of her good looks and generosity to the team, so everyone unanimously invited her to come out and say a few words.


    She didn''t prepare her lines in advance, but everyone invited them out, but she stepped forward, looked around, looked at the players and the management, and said: "I can''t think of anything else, this game is beautiful! You guys Is the best! Hope to continue to be in good shape!"


    Everyone applauded to celebrate. An Feng took the champagne bottle from others and shook it in advance. At this time, other players also touched the champagne in their hands. When the wine was sprayed out, the mouth of the bottle was aimed at the crowd.


    Boom, boom, boom, the sound of bottle opening echoed in the locker room. Accompanied by laughter and splashing of wine, the crazy players did not let the boss go. After An Feng sprayed each other with them a few times, he pulled Joe Anna hid behind the bodyguard. Everyone around has become the target of attack.


    The hilarity of the celebration continued, and even the cameramen who came in to take pictures were not spared. Their strange screams echoed in the corridor, which was in contrast to the quietness of the away team on the opposite side. Leaving the noisy locker room and sitting in the coach''s office, the team''s management made a report to Joanna.


    Ai Wen has a suggestion: "The team''s business situation is currently good and the funds are sufficient. In order to keep everyone in a more active state, I suggest that some grassroots and middle-level personnel should be raised. More motivation."


    Joanna listened and nodded: "It''s a good idea, and it can strengthen the cohesion of grassroots employees to the club."


    "Thank you, Ma''am." Ivan said, "Secondly, the new stadium is ready to start. According to the original plan, it is expected to be put into use in two and a half years."


    "I decide the name of the stadium." Joanna said.


    "I know." Ivan said.


    They also got Joanna''s other ideas. She is satisfied with the performance of the new players she bought. If the good state can continue, the top three should be no problem. Work harder, or next year An Feng thinks there is no place to spend money, the player lineup When stronger, aim to win.


    After discussing for ten minutes, I left satisfied.


    There are still some fans and reporters staying outside the stadium, taking pictures and taking pictures. When they see the team owner coming out, sharp-eyed reporters come up to get exclusive information. Two bodyguards went to pick up the car, and they had to wait by the side of the road, so the rest of the bodyguards had to deal with it.


    But it really can''t stop the curious reporter.


    After getting Joanna''s approval, Scarlett said: "Only a few questions are allowed, one by one!"


    One of the reporters stretched out the microphone quickly: "Madam, what do you think of the team''s plan to dig a corner in La Liga? Is it worth it?"


    Joanna said: "I am not clear about this matter, it needs to be discussed by the board of directors."


    "Madam, are there any other players you are optimistic about?" The clever reporter asked. Liverpool has made a big move recently. First, they spent 150 million to buy players, and at the same time, construction of the 400 million luxury stadium started immediately. Signs of the rich burning money in the Premier League.


    "Sorry, this is private." Joanna said flatly.


    Other reporters started to gossip as soon as they heard it: "Then madam, you invest in football, but you don''t have any favorite stars? Or are they all in Liverpool?"


    "I like Liverpool''s culture and players." Joanna gave a very official answer.


    "Where''s Mr.?" The sharp-eyed man didn''t let An Feng go, "Investing in the team, you should be supporting Madam, right?"


    An Feng didn''t expect to be on camera, and smiled: "I gave her some advice."


    "So Mrs.''s investment behavior is largely due to her husband''s support? You must love Mrs., right?" The reporter is very flexible.


    "I love her." An Feng took her hand, "But please don''t inquire into our privacy too much."


    The interview time was very short, half a minute later the bodyguards drove over.


    Following the reporter, he was ruthlessly pushed away. Serious bodyguards escorted the VIP into the car, closed the door, and left immediately.


    "It seems that the United States is safe." Joanna looked at the bustling crowd outside the window, "or a place that doesn''t like football."


    "I blame you for being so charismatic. Other team owners don''t have the same treatment as you!" An Feng smiled.


    "The hunch is not a good thing." She shook her head.


    ��


    After these interviews were published in the newspaper the next day, An Feng found that he had underestimated the brain power of the newspaper editor.


    For example, about the players, a certain sports newspaper "guessed" from Joanna''s attitude and momentum that they still have big goals in the future, and An Feng''s support for Joanna''s behavior was also interpreted as actually being a Chinese rich man Ann likes the team, Madam is just an endorsement.


    There are also different answers, and they are very literary. Generally speaking: Joanna grew up in an aristocratic family. Apart from equestrianism, she also likes football. Her husband, Liverpool was given as a gift.


    In addition, there are fashion answers that have nothing to do with sports. It is a local fashion website. The editor made some comments on the clothing of the female boss, including the style and brand of the clothes, the style of jewelry, the wise matching plan, the style of handbags, etc. Wait. The overall rating is very high.


    There are many different versions. Recently, Joanna is very popular. Her beautiful appearance and aristocratic style in her bones have become an eye-catching adjustment after the Premier League game... This is probably because the reporters and editors have had enough of the team from the top management to the owner. It''s a fact of all men.


    Finally got a beautiful woman, why don''t you dig more news?


    But no matter how much attention the boss receives, it is not as good as every move of the football stars. As long as there is a period of silence, it will naturally be forgotten. The next day, Joanna dressed up, put on a hat, and walked on the bustling street. Recognition��without bodyguards.


    Liverpool is much more interesting than the monotonous Birmingham. The local sports culture is not only popular, but also the music culture is famous all over the world. The famous Beatles started their rock and roll career here, as well as the traditional obstacle course and the earliest Chinese culture in Europe. city.


    In Liverpool, in addition to visiting China Town and the local church, I also experienced the amphibious sightseeing vehicle with regional characteristics. It looks like it should be modified from an infantry armored vehicle. The whole body is painted with yellow paint. It can be driven on land or turned around. Go to the water and take the waterway for sightseeing.


    After staying for two days, leave the city.


    The weather on the return trip was much better. Both sides of the road restored the style of the English countryside, green and fresh trees and flowers, surrounded by beautiful scenery along the way, passed through several cities, and drove for more than four hours to return to London. On the way, I informed the management of the foundation Layers, ready for the next day''s work.


    One more thing to do when you come to the UK is to make up the promised donation.


    Last time they donated 30 million U.S. dollars, and the remaining 70 million U.S. dollars decided to donate together after the foundation expands and has a certain reputation. According to Goodrich''s investigation, the timing is right this time. Donate a huge amount of 70 million US dollars in cash as a charitable act of a private nature rather than in the name of a company. Donating nine-figure property a year will cause a sensation. certain.


    Joanna attended the low-key donation ceremony and held a council meeting, expressing her desire to help children and women, and will carry out charitable deeds worldwide. The role of the foundation is not limited to the United Kingdom. It has representative offices in the United States and China, and funds It will increase when it is sufficient.


    Besides, they hold shares in machinery companies and some potential companies. As long as it is not an accident or a financial crisis, the money will gradually increase. Simply put, in order to pursue safety and invest in money funds, one year''s interest alone is enough run by the foundation.


    After donating 70 million, listen to the work report of the foundation management. Recently, they have developed rapidly because of sufficient funds and promising investment projects. There are many volunteers for each donation event, and currently more than one registered Thousands of people are already quite famous.


    The official homepage and the news have reported on this matter, and they are all well-received. Everyone expressed strong support for Joanna��s charitable deeds. Such a low-key donation behavior, not seeking fame and fortune, was admired by people. Some people suggested that she be nominated as an outstanding woman of the year. Even asked the queen to give a commendation.


    This actually overlaps with An Feng''s purpose.


    Following the newspapers and the fans, the Liverpool female boss donated 70 million in one go! After praising the great charitable deeds, then infer from this generous amount that the female boss is really not bad for money! This kind of behavior is much more shocking than buying an expensive yacht or a luxurious plane!


    Since the wife did not disclose her social account, the fans and other charity supporters had no choice but to follow the official account of the foundation. Anyway, news is often released here, and the activities of the chairman of the three foundations all broke out on Twitter. out pictures and text.


    Joanna failed to keep a low profile in the end, and even tended to spread.


    She watched the discussions on the Internet, but fortunately they were all positive. If there were some gossip or something about her ugly, it would be really unbearable... But it''s not good now, she said to An Feng: "I''m afraid I will I have to make up and change my appearance, how can I go to the beach with you?"


    An Feng comforted: "I think positive reports are also good. You see princes and princesses, don''t you often appear on camera? You are channeling positive energy now!"


    "Yes." Joanna could only accept.


    "It''s easy to go to the beach if you want. I''ll buy what you fancy and use it as a private beach?" An Feng''s method is naturally straightforward enough.


    "Hmph!" She laughed.


    One day later, An Feng was invited by Franson to attend a charity dinner, attended by not only wealthy businessmen, but also some congressmen and officials. This is conducive to expanding the local circle. An Feng did not refuse, and brought Joanna to the banquet, and met other people under the introduction of Franson.


    People don''t know much about him, but they have heard about Joanna.


    In addition to the female owner of the Premier League club, there are also hot philanthropists in recent days, as well as the issue of cooperation with the Hart family.


    In the end, by making side-effects, and with the introduction of members of the Hart family, I learned that An Feng has a lot of background and is the core of a large American conglomerate. This has attracted enough attention. Otherwise, everyone would have thought it was a drama between a strong woman and a family man. Guess The one that is less than the most low-key is the most powerful.


    An Feng exchanged some business cards he had prepared with them, and talked about some things with each other, mostly focusing on investment and business issues, and most of them were light-hearted topics, and they didn''t ask too many questions about privacy. In this regard, the British have mastered the art of speaking Very hot.


    Finally met a politician.


    The reason why he is specifically mentioned is because he plays an important role in the exoskeleton project. Last time, he cooperated with BAE and coordinated with the government. , dealing specifically with military and national defense.


    An Feng shook hands with him: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Symonds!"


    "Me too, sir, and madam!" Symonds nodded to Joanna. He looked young, in his early thirties, tall and thin. Although he was not a high-ranking official, as an adviser to the prime minister, he could be said to be the most trusted person to some extent. People, he can influence a wide range.


    Simmonds said: "I hope that such an abrupt appearance has not disturbed you. Taking this opportunity, I am here to express my gratitude to you."


    "Just do your best." An Feng knew what he was referring to.


    "The understanding of Mr. and Mrs. has solved our urgent need. The reward we promised before is also proceeding smoothly. Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, has learned about the cause and effect of the matter and your contribution, and expressed that he will nominate and reward outstanding ladies who have made contributions. "


    "I have to trouble you." An Feng said, he just wanted this answer, and he had spent a lot of energy on the matter of the exoskeleton, and he would definitely return it.


    "While the Lady is a generous philanthropist, both the government and the royal family would like to be able to reward such behavior with material rewards."


    An Feng chatted with Simmonds for a while. Although Britain has obtained the technology and manufactured it, the chip is still on An Feng''s side. As long as he interrupts the supply of batteries or chips, the exoskeleton will be finished! This is suspected of self-injury, but he is not the one who is most afraid.


    So Symonds attached great importance to An Feng and gave him an affirmative answer.


    If Joanna is awarded a medal by the royal family next year, she will have the status of "Jazz" accordingly, and will also be the youngest dame awarded. According to the impact of technology on Britain, the lifeblood of An Feng, and the promotion of charity, she may be the youngest baroness.


    Obviously this is something that the media loves to see. A truly noble Premier League owner, those who have been entrusted in the past as coaches, are at best "jazz", not nobles. Only when you enter the baron stage can you have titles and symbols��but not your own fiefdom.


    Ke Anfeng felt that this would make it difficult for her to keep a low profile.

 Chapter 305： Biathlon

    Chapter 305 Biathlon


    Since it is unavoidable, as long as it does not affect normal life, he doesn''t mind, because there is still a big difference between them and public figures. Deliberately concealing it will arouse more curiosity, which is harmless. Just like fans are keen to use various signs to guess the behavior of the boss''s family, no matter how big or small the number is, the official maintains an attitude of not caring and not commenting, whatever you want, it will always be boring.


    After living in London for two days, I returned to California.


    The time is approaching October, and the warm weather in California has finally turned cool. On the way home, I saw the beautiful scenery of the sun blooming and the grapes plump. Area, reduce output to enhance its own value.


    John Sr. recommended the winery to set up a sub-label to be responsible for the production of red wine other than high-end.


    "Have you considered the capacity of the wine cellar?" An Feng asked. As far as he knows, the capacity of the underground wine cellar is very limited and cannot handle 300 acres of grapes.


    Old John said: "I have calculated according to the ratio. The wine cellar can probably accommodate two hundred acres of grape wine. After that, we need to find a way to expand."


    "Where did the expansion come from?" An Feng asked.


    ��If it is based on the original underground wine cellar, the construction is difficult, and if additional buildings are added, the cost will also become high.��


    "Why do I feel that you don''t recommend it?" An Feng asked.


    Old John said: "In fact, there is no need to expand. Two hundred acres of grapes are enough for the main and second-brand wines. The rest can be sold as high-quality varieties. As far as I know, some wineries around are very optimistic about our wines. willing to pay a premium for it.��


    "That''s true." An Feng thought of the cooperation with his father-in-law, and he has done a lot of transactions in the past two years, as well as friends around him.


    After An Feng and Old John continued to discuss, there was no need for expansion. Three hundred acres of vineyards, two hundred acres were provided to the winery, and the remaining area was cut off, and the free land was used for other viewing purposes. An Feng has not yet So poor that they need to sell grapes to make ends meet.


    Especially where he lives cannot be accommodated. Just like this house, since it was bought a few years ago, it has been renovated no less than ten times, with a total cost of three million. Rococo style mansion.


    An Feng intends to flatten the unnecessary planting land, use it as a leisure land, plant some green grass and trees, and buy a few open spaces next to the vineyard that are not of good quality as "Green Earth" The experimental base of the project starts from the barren and dry land!


    With such a modification, the layout of the winery has become a 200-acre high-quality grape growing area, a 150-acre leisure area, a luxurious winery located on the top of the mountain, with a panoramic view. On the 150 acres of idle land, you can plant grass and trees, build a small garden like a maze, raise more than a dozen hounds, set up a fountain, and ride horses for a walk in your spare time, creating a style like a top French wine estate .


    An Feng looked at the dazed old John: "What do you think?"


    Old John remembers that he originally wanted to propose the establishment of a wine sub-brand, but in the end it developed into a big plan to transform the winery. The way the super rich think about problems is different from ordinary people. Old John had nothing to say: "As long as you consider the cost, I have no problem."


    "It proved to be a good plan." An Feng was very proud of his good brains.


    Old John smiled and left. He knew that An Feng didn''t care about profit, but was just bored and looking for something to do. But this is also a matter of business. After beautifying the environment of the winery in an all-round way, and with the current praise of red wine, there are only ten years left to become a top winery.


    An Feng told Angela his idea and asked her to help find the design service of "Garden Lawn and Maze". As for the construction, we have to wait for the Green Earth Project to cultivate the green grass that suits his wishes, and then plant it on this land in batches. It is estimated that it will be soon, Sam has already got the result.


    After finalizing the plan, what should I do?


    An Feng has been really boring recently, important work has entered the waiting stage, GP company does not care about it, the technical team is currently studying with the newly recruited quantum physics experts, the research center is also preparing to sign the authorization contract in an orderly manner, and An''s Industry is in the process of In the beginning stage, things are complicated.


    An Feng was lazy and only wanted to do big things, but in the end there was nothing to do... Even Joanna had her own things to do��she was busy discussing with Hansen about the promotion of the Blue Sky Racecourse, as well as the form and schedule of the horse race. Now I''m out with bodyguards on errands.


    Go online when you have nothing to do, and check what your friends are up to. After a few glances, there are not many activities abroad. The young ones are nothing but parties, and he has already passed that age. The older ones don��t play these things very much. At most, Matthew updated his daughter��s college trip and Christina��s belly photo. I heard it��s a boy. It��s no wonder that Matthew��s enthusiasm for work has plummeted recently. Care about the family.


    Looking at the domestic ones again, with a quick glance, the avatars of friends have changed from the original self-beautification photos to the current children''s photos. There is no doubt that these little lives belong to them, from popular posting themselves to posting children... See An Feng Go on, unconsciously finally feel old.


    "Time is not forgiving!" He propped his chin and felt bored, Wang Le''s head was shaking, he yawned, and lazily clicked on it.


    Entering the head is a line of words: "What are you doing, bitch?"


    "Can''t you speak well?" An Feng''s voice was converted into text and sent.


    "I''m used to it, I''ve been calling it for ten years." Wang Le also came over with a smiling face.


    "Don''t mention words related to time and getting old to me now." An Feng said, clicking on the video communication, it is more convenient to talk with big eyes and small eyes.


    Wang Le said: "Nine times out of ten, you have nothing to do now, thinking about it, right? Ever since I got to know you, I have been in a daze and made up for it!"


    "You guessed it right." An Feng leaned back in his chair and smiled.


    "Let''s do something for you. It''s almost October. There is a long holiday in China. Some guys asked me to go back. Of course, you are also a star. You are a mysterious man next to the boss of the Premier League. I can''t die of envy." Few people! Are you interested in being watched as a rare animal?"


    "I know?" An Feng asked.


    "You know some of them, and it doesn''t matter if you don''t know the rest. Don''t you just know each other when you meet? Just hang out in S City, and Xiangyang also lives there. Wu Chao said to find time to come over. After graduation for so many years, we are the only ones who can still keep in touch. How about some time to get together for a drink?"


    "Your treat?" An Feng asked.


    "No problem!" Wang Le nodded.


    "Staying in a hotel too? Five-star!" An Feng asked.


    "OK!" Wang Le nodded.


    "Okay, I will go." An Feng agreed with a smile.


    "I want this refreshment!" Wang Le smiled, "It just saved me a plane ticket."


    "Hey! Why does it feel like I''m at a loss?" An Feng suddenly thought that a round trip by private jet would cost at least a hundred thousand dollars.


    "Don''t go back on your word!" Wang Le was overjoyed.


    ��


    In the afternoon, Joanna came back from her errands and had just entered the door. She had not changed her equestrian attire, and she was about to share a piece of good news with him with a smile on her face.


    "What good news?" An Feng asked.


    Joanna pulled him to sit down: "Hansen told me his research results. The nearby residents are very interested in horse racing, and they welcome horse racing. In addition, in order to enhance the influence, we envisage holding an equestrian triathlon recently. The top three Set prize money to attract contestants.��


    An Feng nodded: "As long as you like."


    "I knew it." She said with a smile, "I also want to participate in the competition as a contestant, maybe I can still get a ranking."


    "Are you serious?" An Feng looked at her.


    "It''s just an amateur game, and it''s a CIC (one-day race). The design of the obstacle course is as simple as possible, with the premise of protecting the rider." She looked at An Feng pitifully, and shook his hand. In the same way, if you are proficient, you will be fine.��


    "I have to think about it seriously." An Feng said seriously.


    "Are you serious?" She slowed down her speech, approached him a little more seriously, and met his gaze.


    An Feng was helpless to see her pitiful and threatening eyes, so he could only give in: "You have to promise, don''t try to challenge the limit in vain."


    "I love you!" Joanna kissed him and hugged his neck overjoyed, "Of course, who made me not have the star certification of the FEI."


    "Fortunately not." An Feng is glad that, although the hobby is right, but when it develops into a profession, not everyone can adapt to this rhythm.


    "You are sexist!" Joanna stared at him. "In the London Olympic Games, the queen''s granddaughter participated in the equestrian triathlon, or the three-day event! Both the overall level and difficulty of the players are higher than I want. The holding is many times higher, not at the same level!"


    "I really convinced you!" An Feng was helpless. She always had many reasons to persuade him, but this habit of following the royal family is not necessarily a good thing. Bad - the royal family also engages in extramarital affairs and divorce, can you learn from it?


    Facts have proved that she was bored. After graduation, there is no work pressure, and she can��t enjoy it all day long. She just wants to find something to do when she is bored. The next day she performed for An Feng at the racetrack, three equestrian events: dressage; jumping; cross-country. The first two risk factors are small, but the latter is very difficult.


    The racecourse has not yet built a cross-country venue. When Joanna used the obstacle course to perform, she encountered mistakes in judging the horse''s footsteps, refusing to jump, and almost falling off. The situation in the real off-road competition is more complicated and changeable. Horses cannot run on the track before the competition, and the rider can only get familiar with it.


    The cross-country race is very dangerous, An Feng shook his head: "The cross-country race is too complicated, the professional race requires a horse over six years old, and you use a horse that is less than four years old, and we don''t even have a spacious enough cross-country race venue, you insist on participating , if you fall down and break a leg, what will you do in the future?"


    Joanna finally made a concession: "Then change the three events to two? Cancel the cross-country event!"


    "Okay." An Feng finally agreed.


    He has practiced both dressage and jumping. There are difficulties, but there are few dangers. It is true that equestrianism is definitely risky, but he can handle it himself. Joanna is more talented and skilled. question. In the end, she agreed with her competitive idea.


    After discussing with Hansen, it was decided to start the competition at the end of October. It was tentatively decided to hold it for one day. It was amateur in nature, but they had money and were willing to burn it! One million dollars will be rewarded for the first place, so there will be many contestants, and the competition for rankings will be serious, so Joanna must hurry up.


    But An Feng didn''t want to see her galloping on the training ground for a whole month. She still had to attend the domestic party in early October. Joanna naturally had no objection. It was already a huge victory for An Feng to agree to participate in the competition. In fact, she lied. There will definitely be professional players competing from time to time.


    Although Joanna did not pass the test back then, she was not yet eighteen years old when the assessment was made. She is quasi-one-star. After so many years, she will be at least one-star level, or even better, and her skills will not be worse than ordinary players." The biathlon competition will be fierce...but that''s for another day.

 Chapter 306： Collaboration with retail stores

    Chapter 306 Cooperation of retail stores


    The hotel waiter took them to the door of the room, opened the door and invited them in.


    The box is very spacious. After entering the door, you have to go around the screen and then pass through the lounge to come to the formal dining area. As soon as I entered the door, I heard conversations one after another, and laughter continued. The people around the dining table were all gorgeously dressed and stylishly dressed men and women, there were about eleven or two people.


    Seeing Wang Le appear, someone got up: "The last one to arrive will be fined a cup!"


    Wang Le said with a smile: "The big name always has to be the finale, and I brought the real big name, no matter how late, there are legitimate reasons!"


    Everyone turned their attention to An Feng and Joanna. Both of them were dressed in formal attire. An Feng was wearing a suit and leather shoes, very chic without a bow tie. Joanna was wearing a champagne three-quarter skirt, necklace and earrings, and a wallet in her hand. , full-bodied European socialite fan.


    The dress styles of the four people are more formal, and those present are more casual, especially when compared with the other women, the two ladies in dresses have a very different temperament. After a few glances, Ye Ning stood up and said enthusiastically, "Hi! Ann, we meet again!"


    "Long time no see, Mr. Ye!" An Feng nodded.


    The first person asked: "Brother Le, don''t you want to introduce?"


    "Isn''t it brewing!" Wang Le turned sideways to make room, "This is my good buddy, An Feng, you can also call him Bruce, overseas Chinese, super rich, huge influence, and very interesting. You know that I can boast So many people are definitely not ordinary people!"


    "Nice to meet you all!" An Feng smiled.


    "You are very welcome, Mr. Ann!" Everyone said.


    Wang Le continued to introduce: "Don''t think about the beautiful woman next to you, because she is my buddy''s wife, the honorable lady Joanna from England."


    "Hi!" Joanna greeted.


    Wang Le''s introduction has attracted everyone''s attention. The Wang family is also well-known in China. The family business is very large, and the assets are estimated to be tens of billions. In the past two years, they have established relationships with foreign fertilizer giants, focusing on agriculture. Development, the outside world estimates that assets have doubled.


    As Wang Le, one of the several heirs of the Wang family, the person who can make him say so many words of praise, even if they have never met before, must be a big shot. Some sharp-eyed people have even recognized that Joanna is very similar to the recently hotly discussed female boss in the Premier League.


    "Mr. An, Madam, hello!" The man before him stretched out his hand to them, "My name is Yu Hao, nice to meet you!"


    "Me too, Mr. Yu!" An Feng shook hands with him, and looked at him at the same time. He was about 30 years old, and he should be the same age as Wang Le. He was tall but thinner, his eyes were slightly squinted, and he was very business-like. look like. He was the first to start the game, so it should have some weight.


    An Feng has seen many people, and automatically formed a judgment in his heart. After shaking hands, he turned to the two bodyguards and said, "I will call you if necessary."


    "Okay, sir!" Neil nodded, and Scarlett left the dining room to rest in the lounge outside, where there were also waiters serving tea.


    After a brief acquaintance, everyone sat down.


    The topic focused on An Feng. First, Ye Ning talked about his experience and knowledge of the last self-driving trip to the United States, and then Wang Le explained some.


    "So Madam is the mysterious female boss who was hotly discussed before?" Yu Hao looked at Joanna, "Excuse me, but I didn''t recognize the real person when he appeared!"


    "It''s okay," Joanna said, "I don''t appear in public very often."


    "Understandable, you are so beautiful, walking on the street will definitely attract a lot of people to watch." Yu Hao said with a smile, complimenting calmly.


    "Thank you." Joanna smiled brightly.


    Yu Hao nodded, and greeted the waiter: "You can let the chef serve! We are eating and chatting, we are already hungry, so you don''t have to be too cautious, this is a gourmet party, how you usually play, how you do now Play, be polite with me and you won''t be buddies next time!"


    Wang Le smiled: "Whoever is polite to you will eat you!"


    Yu Hao said: "It has to be like this, everyone please!"


    After the food was served, everyone picked up their knives and forks to taste. This hotel is famous for its dishes and provides local dishes, but its specialty is mixed dishes. It is not as complicated as French dishes, but it has the same exquisite craftsmanship. The top meals performed by Michelin star chefs, such as deep sea bass meat, Kobe''s top beef, a bottle of red wine tens of thousands of yuan... This is a luxurious feast.


    The dinner was enjoyed by the delicious food, and the conversation was simple. When everyone was half full, it was already the beginning of the lights outside, so they moved to the spacious sky garden outside the box, and sat in front of the woven booth. Bartenders serve them.


    The lights in the outdoor garden have been turned on. Everyone finds a place to sit down, pour a glass of after-dinner drink or cocktail, and chat freely. Most of them are men talking, because there are not many wives at the scene, and the others are female companions, very young.


    In fact, to put it bluntly, it is similar to the so-called young models on the Internet, with thin arms and thin legs, and then uniformly has an awl face, big eyes, and the appearance of a good sister. It is a bit like a mass-produced appearance coming off the assembly line. I guess it is not talking about it. It''s just a temporary female companion, it doesn''t have much connotation.


    The wives were different. Joanna and the man were talking about football, which caused a lot of laughter. Lisa also played her role very well, and she was very particular about the art of conversation. They are both women, wearing famous brands and using famous brands, but the connotation of temperament makes them stand out from each other.


    Generally speaking, this gathering is okay. Domestic and foreign countries are different. Foreign countries pay more attention to western social etiquette, which is typically in line with Europe, while the atmosphere in China is more relaxed. No one is better, but each has its own characteristics. Well adapted to every environment.


    They exchanged business opportunities, recent developments, and the second and third generations didn''t drive cars all day long and cause accidents. After that, they let their powerful fathers wipe their asses. Wang Le and his friends all have their own goals, their own struggles, and their family background is just one. A better starting point than others.


    And the topic naturally cannot do without curiosity about An Feng.


    An Feng has a lot of business opportunities, but it is obviously not suitable for this group of young people. If he wants to come, he should be their father, who can decide the movement of billions or tens of billions of funds. But everyone was so enthusiastic and looking forward to it, so he used his brains and brought Joanna''s cell phone in her handbag.


    "Have you heard of Nokia?" An Feng asked.


    "Most of us are born in the 1980s, don''t you know?" Everyone laughed.


    "I''m talking about the recent acquisition of a brand." An Feng said.


    They all only heard that they were bought, but they didn''t know the details of the transaction, but Ye Ning said: "It''s a British communication company called Burger Company?"


    Yu Hao also said at this time: "It''s called Berg Information Technology Company. They spent a high price of 350 million US dollars to buy a brand that is not very valuable, and it can only be used for seven years. If it wasn''t for the fact that there is a GP company behind it Support, I am afraid this is a very unwise acquisition."


    An Feng unlocked the phone and put it on the table: "This is the first Nokia engineering prototype of Berg Company, take a look."


    "Good stuff!" Wang Le quickly picked it up with sharp eyes.


    An Feng introduced: "At present, except for the camera, it is all high-tech, graphene screen, graphene chip, and a miniature motherboard that only occupies a quarter of the body, a super battery with excellent battery life, and a dedicated high-voltage charger. , completed in fifteen minutes."


    After Wang Le got familiar with the interface, he connected to the hotel��s WiFi, opened the built-in browser, and downloaded a few softwares according to An Feng��s instructions, all of which could be used. If he wanted the interface, he could use a virtual machine to enter a virtual In the environment of Android or IOS.


    "Take a look!" Someone suggested that Android has ruined many people.


    "Wait!" Wang Le ran for a minute, and soon, everyone''s eyes widened, and the number was about to explode. According to the detected CPU frequency, it has reached 150GHZ, and the processing speed of a single core can kill any current Home machine platform, the performance is extremely powerful.


    "Where did you get this artifact?" Ye Ning asked in surprise.


    Everyone looked at An Feng, guessing in their hearts, and even some quick-witted ones had already seen business opportunities.


    An Feng did not hide anything, and said directly: "My wife is a shareholder of the company, so I can take the engineering prototype at will. This mobile phone is not the final version yet."


    Yu Hao said: "Nokia mobile phone...Are you planning to re-promote it in China?"


    "That''s right." An Feng nodded, "Just like the business model of Apple''s retail stores, it needs to be opened all over the world. China is a huge market. The once prosperous Nokia is an example. Although it has faded now, with high technology, I believe It will rise."


    An Feng��s words undoubtedly mean seeking cooperation. Take Apple��s retail stores as an example. Excellent stores have an annual turnover of more than one billion. If mobile phones are to be favored by the public, the Chinese market needs at least two official direct stores, and then countless Authorized retail store.


    Considering the funds, if you want to promote globally, the demand for funds is very large. On average, each official direct-sale store needs 20 to 30 million U.S. dollars. To open hundreds of direct-sale stores around the world, at least 2 billion U.S. dollars, the company''s funds Certainly not enough, so the board considered some level of cooperation.


    After Yu Hao experienced the mobile phone, he was very interested: "If we cooperate, what will be the main form?"


    "Official stores accept 10%-20% investment, and authorized stores have sufficient funds." An Feng said. This is also decided by the directors of Berg Company. If the direct operation is wholly-owned, even if it is a loan, the company''s funds will not be enough. They need to cooperate with local investors to share the pressure.


    Others have also expressed their intention to cooperate. With so many new technologies and ideas, the potential is great. From the perspective of Apple mobile phones, its original growth has stopped, but it has become popular with new batteries. Now that more high-tech is concentrated together, it is unreasonable not to be popular.


    An Feng exchanged some inside information with them, and then left the company''s contact information for them to talk to the company. At present, the company''s main promotion areas are Western Europe and North America. Since the United States has the largest market, it does not need a partner and operates directly as a sole proprietorship, as do parts of Europe.


    Two official directly-operated stores may be established in China. The capital of each store is estimated to be about 120 million yuan, accepting 20% ??of foreign investment, and the management personnel will be appointed by the company. Both Yu Hao and Ye Ning are willing to regard it as a high-return venture investment, and even Wang Le is also very interested.


    As for authorized retail stores, there are very few requirements. As long as the funds are sufficient, the franchise fee and management fee can be paid to the company to purchase goods from the company and set up stores in every major city in the country. Since the directly-operated store is a subsidiary, 10% of the shares are worth 12 million, but at least 50 million or more.


    Even if you don��t consider investing in subsidiaries, it��s a very profitable idea to specialize in retail stores and chain operations in big cities. After all, the area radiated by official stores is limited, and the Chinese market is huge, and the turnover of retail stores is higher than that of official stores. Not surprising.

 Chapter 307： Divide the cake

    Chapter 307 Dividing the Cake


    The party didn''t end until twelve o''clock in the evening. It was originally purely for entertainment and leisure, but Anfeng brought business opportunities. After chatting with everyone all night, the business expansion of Berg Company in China is guaranteed. Next, the company needs to consider What matters is how to cooperate.


    Going back by special car at night, slept until dawn, woke up lazily in the morning, had breakfast together in the dining room, and waited for a few old classmates to arrive. Wang Le and An Feng sat in the living room, chatting about what happened last night. Wang Le was very interested in investing in the subsidiary, and asked for details.


    An Feng told him that it doesn''t matter: "According to the ideas of the shareholders over there, they mainly want to use the popularity to expand the domestic market after promoting in Western Europe and North America. Said that the headquarters only provides authorization and supply."


    After Wang Le heard it, he admired him and said: "They are all businessmen. According to what you said, 20% of the shares can be exchanged for at least 100 million yuan, and the capital that the store needs to invest is only a little over 100 million yuan. Only a little money will be invested. and products, we will be able to complete business expansion in China.��


    An Feng smiled: "Who would do business at a loss? Besides, even if the quotation is so high, after mobile phones become popular in Europe and the United States, there will still be domestic investors flocking to them. I''m afraid my valuation is still low, and the head office will make the price at that time." Higher and still find partners."


    Wang Le can only say: "High technology is strong! When I go back and talk about this matter, when I open a store in the future, will it be a priority?"


    "I can only offer opinions." An Feng said, "The final decision rests with the board of directors and the company''s shareholders."


    "Isn''t your wife the major shareholder?" Wang Le rolled his eyes.


    "I know it in my heart, so don''t say it out loud!" An Feng hated that iron can''t make a steel road. This kind of relationship is used secretly, and it will hinder fairness if it is displayed.


    Wang Le smiled: "I''ll let my family prepare to invest in the subsidiary, and then use other relationships of mutual cooperation. It should be easy."


    "Smart!" An Feng said.


    Wang Le continued: "The official direct-sale store is set like this, and there will be authorized retail stores..."


    "So ambitious?"


    "There is a cake in front of you, do you open your mouth?" Wang Le said.


    "Continue!" An Feng said with a smile.


    "The cost of an officially authorized retail store should not be high, right? Referring to Apple, it is estimated to be around 200 to 5 million. In addition to big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas also have great potential. The revenue of a single retail store is not worth it." Direct stores, but if there are several chains, it will be great!"


    "Of course." An Feng said, "But if you want to do this, you have to consider the issues of manpower, investment and management. Can you do it?"


    "I''ll get a few more people to cooperate, maybe Xiang Yang will do it."


    An Feng was surprised: "Isn''t he an old man working in a private company as a high-level executive? How could he be easily dragged into the boat by you?"


    Wang Le curled his lips: "How long ago did he have a high pursuit now, saying that no matter how good a part-time job is, he is still a part-time job. A while ago, he discussed with me to resign and start a business, but he has a wife and children, so he can''t do things impulsively. But retail stores are so A good way, he should be interested."


    "We''ll talk later when he comes." An Feng said.


    Xiang Yang said in the morning that he was going to go to the city, but it was almost noon, he was still on the road, just in time for the peak of the first day, so I really couldn''t afford to be hurt. On the contrary, Wu Chao and Ji Min procrastinated to set off, but they were the first ones to arrive. After getting out of the airport, they took a taxi directly to the hotel, and Xiang Yang, who was crawling like a snail, finally arrived.


    An Feng and Wang Le welcome a few drivers at the door, please get on the elevator.


    Wu Chao wondered: "What''s interesting in the room, shouldn''t we try the star-rated hotel meal first?"


    "Can the room I booked be average?" Wang Le said.


    The elevator stops at the upper floor, and once you walk out, you will see a magnificent independent corridor. There are no other residents here, only the butler is waiting at the door with a smile on his face. When he sees the guests coming, he opens the door with a smile and gestures: "Mrs. , please go inside!"


    Walking in, he was suddenly enlightened. Wu Chao looked around and understood: "It turns out that he lives in the presidential suite. No wonder it''s not fun outside!"


    Xiang Yang patted Wang Le on the shoulder: "You kid can really show off!"


    "Actually, I''m very frugal!" Wang Le said with a tangled expression, "If it wasn''t for the third brother cheating me this time, I wouldn''t be so determined to live in such a nice room! Only one horse six for three nights, and now my heart It��s still dripping blood, don��t make good use of it, I��m sorry RMB!��


    Xiang Yang shook his head: "There will be no good things for the two of you to get together!"


    Wu Chao nodded: "Very correct."


    An Feng argued: "Don''t listen to his one-sided words, this guy cheated me with a round-trip plane ticket first! He owed a horse six, and I owed a Mercedes!"


    "We don''t understand the world of local tyrants, but we like to watch tyrants fighting each other. Only in this way, ordinary people will benefit!" Wu Chao smiled and sat down in the most spacious living room, "It''s really comfortable, the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, The invincible landscape along the river is a hundred times better than the restaurant!"


    "Must." Wang Le sat down, "Going to a restaurant for dinner is definitely not as enjoyable as here!"


    Everyone found their seats and sat down, An Feng asked: "Boss Xiang, where is your baby?"


    "The house is free-range, let parents take care of it. Can I bring a towel bottle when I go out to play?" Xiang Yang sat on the sofa, raised his legs, took out a pack of cigarettes, and asked everyone with his eyes.


    "Hey hey hey! The pregnant woman is here!" Wu Chao reminded.


    Wang Le looked at Ji Min in surprise: "What? I thought Sister Ji''s stomach was eaten?"


    Ji Min despised: "You are the only one who eats so much!"


    "I almost thought that too." An Feng smiled, "How old is she?"


    "Just three months old, I only found out recently." Ji Min sat down carelessly.


    Wang Le looked at An Feng: "It seems that we are the latest."


    "It doesn''t matter to me, the good life is still waiting for me to enjoy!" An Feng put his arms around the woman beside him, and Joanna leaned on him meekly.


    Wu Chao looked at Joanna, and suddenly said: "Oh! The female boss of the Red Army is the wife, right?"


    "Then what do you think?" An Feng smiled. Wu Chao was a fan. To be honest, everyone liked to watch football when they were in college because they had so much time and nothing to do. But after work, unless they are real fans, they rarely stick to it. . Wu Chao is one of the purer ones.


    "I saw you on the broadcast." Wu Chao said, "There are a group of black-clothed bodyguards beside me. I wasn''t sure at first, but the more I looked at it, the more I thought of your feat of meeting with national leaders, I felt that you There''s nothing surprising about being in the Premier League."


    "Hahaha, thank you so much! Are you interested in converting?"


    "Is there a star signature? VIP stands to watch the game? Or are there jerseys and sneakers that have been worn?" Wu Chao asked.


    "It''s mainly up to you. If you have time to go to England in the future to catch up with the home game, I''ll let you live in their locker room. How about it?"


    "Damn!" Wu Chao jumped up, "Really?"


    An Feng looked at Joanna, she nodded with a smile: "Of course, as long as you can bear their funny side."


    "To be honest, I''ve been a KOP since that day!" Wu Chao said very spinelessly, and managed to make him betray his faith with just a few words.


    Everyone couldn''t help laughing, An Feng said: "As long as the time is right, you will."


    After laughing enough, Wang Le said: "It''s noon, are you hungry? How about we chat while serving food?"


    "I agree! I want a big meal!" Ji Min said, "Now I can support two people with one mouth!"


    "I promise to make your children full!" Wang Le said, calling the housekeeper to bring the menu, ordering on it, and then handing over to other friends to order.


    Finally, the food was served on the big table, and everyone moved to the dining room to enjoy the meal in the presidential suite of the five-star hotel. This is no worse than other high-end restaurants, chatting at the dinner table first, not going to do any activities this afternoon, follow the traditional habit of having a meal at sea, and then talk about the relationship.


    At the dinner table, we talked about work. Around the future plan, Wang Le Xiangyang and Wu Chao both talked about mobile phones, and took out engineering phones for them to experience for themselves. After the effect is shocking enough, they will talk about authorized retail. For the store, he hopes to cooperate.


    Xiang Yang asked: "Do you want everyone to contribute and let me manage it?"


    "Of course it is. I want to go back to the United States." Wang Le said, "You can also consider Wu Chao. This is a very good opportunity."


    Xiang Yang thought about it: "I have also saved some money over the years, and with both parents, I also want to work hard, but I can''t find a good opportunity."


    "It is now." An Feng said, "If necessary, I can give you convenience, less franchise fees, agency rights in provinces, etc."


    Wu Chao asked: "How much money do I need to invest?"


    An Feng looked at Wang Le, he was the one who came up with the idea. Wang Le said: "Let''s take the coastal area, about five cities. Of course, you don''t need to invest in all of them. You can choose one or two of them. For example, in Xiangyang, if you want to be convenient for yourself, choose the one close to your home. A store is estimated to be three million. .��


    An Feng said: "I can invest 30% in five stores in the name of my family."


    Wang Le said: "It''s okay for me to finish the share, it mainly depends on how much you want, and I will make up for the rest. We acquaintances do things, just try to trust them!"


    Xiang Yang said: "If it is done, I estimate that I can pay about 800,000 yuan."


    Wang Le said: "It doesn''t matter how much money you have. What I value is your ability. If you are purely a professional mess, you are the most talented person I know. You have become a high-level executive in just a few years. I believe You can do well elsewhere, so be the first to find you!"


    "Look high!" Xiang Yang smiled and toasted him.


    An Feng looked at them and said: "Actually, there is no rush. You have at least half a year to think about it. After mainly referring to the market performance in Europe and North America, the company decides whether to expand the Asian market. With the support of sales data, the investment is still very important." Safe."


    "This is the most suitable way." Xiang Yang said, "I should be able to raise a lot of money in half a year."


    "Also leave a quota for me!" Wu Chao said.


    "Didn''t you do a good job?" An Feng asked.


    "Investment has nothing to do with work, right?" Wu Chao was surprised.


    "My fault!" An Feng said with a smile, "I will try my best to leave these authorized places to you. If the response of the new mobile phone is very good and the shipment volume is huge, I suggest to seize this opportunity, at least within a few years. , it is safe to make money, much more than honest work.��


    An Feng has brought the best conditions. As long as they are famous, they will invest, and if they are not famous, they will give up... Unless they are out of their minds, they will not miss the golden opportunity. An Feng is also good, with Xiang Yang''s excellent head management, the shares held by his family can only be distributed as dividends.

 Chapter 308： gun show interest

    Chapter 308 Gun Show Interest


    This meal was eaten and chatted, and the topic was endless. Finally, when the ladies were full, they went to enjoy the private jacuzzi in the presidential suite to relieve fatigue and relax. And the four men continued to compete at the dinner table, asking the bartender to give them some serious information. As a result, they all drank too much and canceled their plans for the evening.


    The next day, while it was still early, I walked around.


    An Feng pointed to the Oriental Pearl Tower in the distance: "I see it every time I come back, but I have no chance to go up, why don''t I go?"


    Wang Le shook his head: "Going there during peak tourist season is suffering."


    An Feng said: "It''s better than staying in the hotel? I was banned last night and can''t drink anymore!"


    The men all laughed... In fact, they were all laughing at fifty steps.


    Finally, everyone decided to go shopping. The outdoor temperature is a bit high, and personal comfort is the main thing when going out to play. An Feng just casually drags a pair of flip-flops around the world, and Joanna does the same. She wears a cropped skirt, carries a handbag, and puts sunglasses on her hair. walking.


    Wu Chao said: "You guys are a bit subverting the image!"


    "Who cares?" An Feng smiled, and took Joanna''s hand, "Don''t you think this is a good match?"


    Ji Xiaoyan smiled: "You two have such a good relationship!"


    "Show less love! Do more!" Wang Le called the car.


    Everyone got in the car, An Feng''s bodyguards still followed, but they were no longer dressed in black, they eventually became tourists.


    The first stop of this trip is the Oriental Pearl Tower. Going up the tower to see the panoramic view of S City is a fresh experience. Before coming here, I listened to Wang Le��s advice and only bought the upper and lower spheres and the exhibition hall. It is said that during the tourist season, the space capsule on the top is basically crowded, and I have to listen to a group of tour guides shouting there with loudspeakers.


    October 2nd, a frightening tourist boom hit. Ten people bought tickets. After the tickets were checked and security checked, they were automatically squeezed into the elevator by the crowd. The order of visits is from top to bottom, first appearing in the upper sphere, stepping out of the elevator, it suddenly becomes clear, and tourists taking pictures can be seen everywhere.


    Although Wang Le said that he was tired of watching, he couldn''t wait to lead the way: "Come! Let''s experience the excitement!"


    Follow the crowd to find the stairs, and go down to 259 meters. The most famous suspended corridor is here: 360 degrees without dead ends, made of glass, tourists walk carefully on it, and some people dare not take a step. On the contrary, the bear boy is bold, and happily runs around on it.


    "Wow! It''s so tall!" Joanna looked up.


    "Do you want to try?" An Feng said to Joanna who was eager to try.


    "Yeah." She nodded, took a step, then retracted, pulling An Feng out, "Don''t just watch! Let''s go together!"


    "Coward!" An Feng smiled and pulled her to take the first step, more than 200 meters high, as if stepping on a cloud, all the buildings were crawling under her feet, and pedestrians were smaller than ants. At the beginning, it was really challenging to stand up on the psychological quality, and it was shocking to drag her down a circle.


    "Walk around again?" She was still thinking.


    "Okay!" An Feng said.


    This team mixed with foreigners found excitement here.


    ��


    After visiting several scenic spots, it was evening, so I listened to Xiangyang''s recommendation and went to experience snacks.


    There are a lot of foodies hidden in the team. Hearing that there are special snacks, how can I have the energy to do other things? I don��t even need the hotel car. Anyway, I can��t cope with the heavy traffic, so I choose the subway together. The subway has increased the knowledge of several foreigners, advanced! Except for the good points in New York, the subways in the United States are basically in a semi-disabled state. Take Los Angeles, the second largest city, An Feng has never heard of it.


    In fact, there is also a subway in Los Angeles, but it is not used much. Most people travel by private car and do not consider public transportation. This time ten people took the subway together to experience the crowded travel. But it''s fast, and there''s no traffic jams...stop at a stop near People''s Park and get back to the ground.


    The sky was getting darker and the temperature began to drop. Xiangyang identified the direction: "It should be over there!"


    They walked to a local street that was not spacious, and found a very ordinary snack bar, but it was full of customers, and there were many cars parked at the door, and people kept getting on the car and leaving with take-out boxes. It seems that the position is low-key, but the reputation is not small. That''s what they''re here for: Crab Noodle Soup Dumplings.


    Xiang Yang went in while talking: "The crab noodle soup dumplings here have thin skin, good filling, and enough ingredients. Pure crab noodle is rarely seen in other regions!"


    "Delicious!" An Feng was intoxicated.


    "You''re lying, you haven''t eaten yet!" Joanna''s eyes were full of disbelief.


    An Feng smiled and held her back: "I have eaten it in Chinatown in New York before, and it is also a pure crab rice dumpling. I really miss the taste!"


    It takes patience to enjoy delicious food. After all, this is not a star-rated hotel. There is no VIP and no waiting service. However, the snacks are not finished after sitting for a few hours. There will be empty seats soon. Everyone sit down and order the purest food. , is also the most expensive crab noodle soup dumpling.


    Open the cage, it��s still hot, the neatly placed steamed buns are beautiful and beautiful, exuding bursts of fragrance, the golden crab oil oozes out, it��s very tempting, pick it up with chopsticks, catch it with a small plate, blow on the breath to dissipate heat , took a bite, and the crab powder soup overflowed the mouth.


    "The soup is so delicious, it''s really the best!" Wang Le killed one in one bite, then breathed out with his tongue out, apparently scalded.


    "Haha, you deserve it!" An Feng smiled, and handed a cold steamed bun to Joanna, and she opened her mouth to take a bite in satisfaction.


    "This is a good man!" Ji Min said, shaking Wu Chao, who was eating delicious food beside him, "I want to do the same!"


    "Look!" Ji Xiaoyan also looked at her husband.


    An Feng started the beginning, and it turned out that among the ten people, except for Neil and Scarlett who were still carefully trying how to use chopsticks to hold things, these four couples were all showing affection like no one else, which made the customers who came in feel a little uncomfortable So right, I thought I was in the wrong place.


    After filling their stomachs with snacks, Wang Le''s friends invited them to the party again.


    It��s still the group of friends from last time. This time they booked an open-air bar on the third floor of the Bund, making the whole night private. Ten people from Anfeng��s side plus theirs, about 20 people Drink freely at the open-air bar, looking at the brilliant lights around the Bund.


    Because the ladies'' prohibition on alcohol has not yet expired, so this time they are only allowed a small amount, that is, a glass of beer... If there is too much, I will kneel on the keyboard tonight.


    Wang Le wanted to save face in front of his friends: "This is called a man who respects his wife!"


    "So you want to add boiling water to the wine?" Yu Hao asked with a smile.


    "Get out!" Wang Le left with a black face.


    An Feng just sat down and talked with a few interested friends, and it still revolved around the issue of mobile phones... To be honest, An Feng is not in charge of the company, he is not even counted as a director, the starting point of bringing business opportunities this time is for himself Friends, because with whom is cooperation not cooperation?


    Cooperate with people who are familiar with you, and you can exchange favors.


    But more details or business operations need to be discussed with the relevant person in charge of Berg Company, and An Feng just happened to be the matchmaker.


    Had a few drinks with them, and after explaining, everyone could understand.


    Blowing the wind by the river, admiring the lights of the metropolis, and chatting about some foreign affairs, here are mostly domestic friends, even if they have been abroad, they are not as familiar as these few who live abroad. Especially after Ye Ning talked about what he saw and heard at the shooting exhibition last time, everyone was itchy.


    When asked if there are any more this year, An Feng said with certainty: "Of course there will be, and it will only be with better conditions and a larger scale. If you want to go, you can stay for a few more days to experience the Texas hunting experience." Fun, and even a set of buckskins to collect!"


    Yu Hao asked: "If you hold these, you should be able to make a profit, right?"


    "Profit?" An Feng shook his head with a smile, "I never thought about whether I could make a profit. Last year I invested several million dollars and ended up with a loss of more than 700,000. I insist on doing it this year, not for profit, but purely for fun." , because I like it, so I am willing to spend the money."


    When everyone heard these words, they were full of admiration, what a rich man! The annual investment is equivalent to 20 million here, just for the fun of a short two days. People of this level are indeed not comparable to them. They have not yet cultivated to this level. Now more people are convinced by him.


    Yu Hao said: "If there is no other urgent matter this winter, I want to be a guest, is that okay?"


    "I''m very welcome." An Feng said, "But I''ll tell you the truth, because I don''t own the gun shop alone, so I can only give you a discount at most."


    Yu Hao said: "That''s for sure, if you don''t count the money, I''m too embarrassed to go!"


    Everyone laughed, so naturally they would not be polite. Of course, there is also the element of building a good relationship with An Feng. Spending tens of thousands of dollars to make a friend with a deep background is not a big deal, especially when there are good business opportunities. Throw wealth away.


    The thoughts in their hearts, An Feng can guess after seeing too much, but he welcomes them from the bottom of his heart, because these are rich people, like the last time Ye Ning and his friends spent an average of 30,000 US dollars each, Such a generous guest, if you don''t welcome him, you''ll be making trouble with Franklin!

 Chapter 309： The butler considers [three more]

    Chapter 309 The Butler Considers ��Third Watch��


    Many people were interested in the shooting exhibition, and they chatted happily at night. But Anfeng had to go back the next day. It was okay to stay for a few more days, but it was a holiday peak, and people were crowded when they went out to play, which added traffic pressure. I felt sorry for the people, so they checked out the next morning. Say goodbye to friends.


    The special plane returned to California and continued to stay at home.


    Because of the developed nature of California''s tourism industry, many people will fly to the United States during the Golden Week in China. California is naturally a popular area, and there are the most Chinese faces in Los Angeles and San Francisco, so you will definitely meet a lot of Chinese on the streets at this time, especially It''s a luxury store.


    An Feng stayed in the vineyard for vacation. With the holographic communication device, his work is much more convenient. Many things are processed through holographic images, so he doesn''t have to go out to do errands. With more free time, Joanna can also concentrate on preparing for her competition. Now she is very competitive!


    Considering that it is inconvenient to go to and from the racetrack every day, the training conditions there are similar to those in the vineyard, especially after the vineyard expands the leisure area, the free area of ??the 150-acre racecourse is much larger, and it costs a little more to transport it. The sandy soil, after transforming the ground, became her luxurious training ground.


    The weather in California in October is no longer hot. Outdoor training is a good choice. You can breathe fresh air and ride your horse on the plains. The feeling of comfort is not comparable to that of a small indoor training ground. Joanna''s logistics team also came to work here.


    According to the results of actual consideration, Hansen proposed to divide the competition into two days. The two events will be held in two days. The first day will be the dressage competition, and the second day will be the jumping competition. The ranking will be based on the total score. 600,000 for the second place, 400,000 for the third place; 100,000 for the next four to seven places.


    As for setting up rewards for the next few... because the host also wants to go on stage to receive the prize.


    Although the opening match of the Blue Sky Racecourse is informal, the organizers are not short of money. The prize money for any two-day race is more than two million U.S. dollars. Including other equipment and arena construction, there is no four to five million dollars to play. After all, this is also a fun game for the rich to burn money.


    The competition is now publicized, and the temptation of the championship of 1 million is very strong, even professional competitions rarely have such a high amount of rewards! And the organizer also provides excellent warm-blooded horses, of course, the contestants can also bring their own. To report one day before the game, the difficulty is International 1-star.


    Joanna has no professional qualifications, but as the host, she is naturally exempt from inspection.


    It is difficult for her to win the reward ranking. According to the requirements, the racehorse must be over five years old, so her Hannover "Gina" is excluded from the qualifications. Moreover, she and Gina are not close enough, so she would not choose it even if allowed. Finally, "Angelina", who is more than six years old, was sent to participate in the competition.


    Time is tight and the pressure is not small. "Angelina" has excellent parents, but she has not participated in competitions, and has only been with Joanna for three years. Therefore, Joanna needs strict training to cultivate tacit understanding and feelings, and practice dressage and jumping according to the project every day.


    An Feng also often goes to training. There are full-time coaches on site, and he also benefits a lot, but compared with Joanna''s major, the visual aesthetics are different. Her performance in dressage is very good, she can make the horse want to be an obedient puppy, and walk out a series of elegant steps, fast and slow, go forward, sideways, and circle in place... Standard and elegant movements, completely without whip and spurs .


    After a round of training, An Feng handed her a bottle of water: "Should we be sure about this competition?"


    Joanna is not proud: "This is just the first step in the competition. Being able to make movements is completely different from being able to make the horse perform in the arena according to the order of the rider. The reason is the same as you know the standard running posture, but it is not as good as a professional athlete Again, it still needs to be strengthened.��


    "Don''t worry, there are still more than 20 days!" An Feng encouraged her, "You can definitely master it."


    "Thank you, dear." She smiled, "It''s really the luckiest thing in my life to meet you for giving me such support."


    "Kiss me a few times." An Feng said.


    Joanna came over and kissed him a few times, put her arms around his neck and said, "Are you satisfied? Your mouth is so sweet!"


    "It feels good! Go and rest for a while." An Feng pulled her to the rest area, Joanna took off her helmet and gloves, and sat on his lap naturally.


    "It''s very comfortable to hug in this cool weather." She said.


    "Smart!" An Feng put his arms around her waist and smiled, "Honey, I plan to invite Matthew and Bazel over in a few days, what do you think?"


    "It''s not bad to communicate more with them and enhance their relationship." She said.


    An Feng nodded: "That''s right. I used to ignore the details. Recently, I have a lot of time, so I want to find an opportunity to talk to them about future plans."


    Joanna said: "I feel that they have a big goal, and they need to learn more about it and figure out the direction of doing things."


    An Feng asked: "You also feel this way?"


    "Intuitively, Bazel is a person who is not willing to be ordinary-of course he is in a very high position now, but how to put it...This is not all his achievements, a lot of glory is accumulated by his ancestors, and he wants to show that he belongs to himself. The result is like the European knight''s pursuit of honor."


    "Look at what you said, he is no longer a knight?" An Feng smiled.


    She said: "Just as an example, I feel that he has high pursuit and thinks farther than ordinary people. It may also be because he is mature and experienced."


    An Feng said: "When people have too much money to spend, they will do something meaningful to achieve self-realization. In Chinese terms, it is ''Guangzong Yaozu''. I think, as the eldest son of the family, after experiencing the ups and downs of the family, Ba Ze I shoulder the mission of prospering the family and benefiting future generations."


    "That''s how it is." Joanna nodded and looked at An Feng again, "What about your self-realization?"


    "Me?" An Feng thought for a while, "Maintaining the peace of the earth?"


    "Pfft!" She laughed, "What nonsense!"


    "What about you?" An Feng asked her.


    "It''s very realistic and simple. The first is to be your perfect wife, so that you will be proud of me; and to realize your desire to go to the equestrian arena, if possible, to win medals; or to educate our future generations It has a cultural heritage that money can''t buy..."


    "There are so many!" An Feng said.


    "But they are all realistic and focus on the present." She said.


    ��


    An Feng sent an invitation to Sinclair one week in advance.


    As Bazel reminded, communication is two-way. Before An Feng, he always participated passively and did not take the initiative. In retrospect, he really rarely had private communication with the core members of the consortium. Those receptions and banquets were more business-oriented and did not bring too much personal nature.


    Of course, An Feng also hopes that the relationship with them can be like getting along with Wang Le, without restraint from the heart, but the age gap is there, it is impossible to ridicule a lot of foul language without scruples, Bazel is his father A super person, Matthew is also ten years older than him.


    But it��s okay to sit down and have a cup of tea together, chat about some endless things, and share each other��s joy. After An Feng issued the invitation, both Matthew and Bazel agreed to attend on time, and asked some more requests. An Feng gave a semi-formal answer, too formal is not conducive to the active atmosphere.


    And preparing for this private dinner requires a little thought.


    A single couple must be hosts and only responsible for receiving guests, so they need a housekeeper and a few servants, as well as a chef and his helpers... Now that Anfeng has no shortage of money and land, it is impossible It was only after the mansion was built that they hurriedly recruited manpower.


    So now is the right time to prepare and pick out the most satisfying one.


    Thinking about the housekeeper, An Feng first targeted Wu Qian, the housekeeper in Florida. If she doesn''t live there for a few days a year, the housekeeper must be moldy.


    Contacted her by phone, and Wu Qian readily agreed.


    Wu Qian also said that if the employer doesn''t contact her again, she plans to contact them... As a career woman with pursuit, she has nothing to do for more than two hundred days, living alone in an empty house, life is comfortable at first , but it will get boring after a long time.


    Then there is the issue of servants. Servants in modern society seem very feudal, but there are not many organizations that provide this kind of service and are willing to do so��high remuneration, and wages are higher than ordinary white-collar workers. Americans who pursue freedom and independence are unwilling to do so, but that doesn''t mean they don''t exist elsewhere.


    For example, in South America, or some underdeveloped countries in Southeast Asia, there are many people in South America who come to developed countries to engage in high-end housekeeping services. As a long-term contract, they are a bit like servants in feudal times, but modern society is more enlightened than before, and they receive high salaries. middle class.


    The matter of recruiting long-term servants must be carefully considered. The problem is that the dinner will be held a week later, so we can only hire temporary ones. Fortunately, Wu Qian, who arrived by plane the next day, is very skilled and she is in charge of temporary workers. In her words, she has been on vacation for more than 200 days, and she has nothing to do all day, and she wants to resign.


    Time was running out, and Wu Qian took the shortest time to get familiar with Anfeng''s meticulously decorated mansion. It was not comparable to Florida''s in terms of value, but it was comparable in terms of decoration and luxury. After several rounds of drastic renovations, the building brought European style, creating a traditional extravagance.


    Wu Qian came down a few times and made a list: "Mr. An, if you want to hold a dinner party for six people, you need three servants around the table, one delivery person, one cook and one helper. This kind of Only under the scale can we maintain a perfect dinner party that meets the requirements."


    "No problem, you are responsible for finding the person." An Feng said, "After this incident, you can consider the issue of long-term contract workers."


    "I see, sir." Wu Qian said.


    "Okay, go get busy." An Feng said, Wu Qian nodded and left.


    During the rest of the next few days, An Feng and Joanna discussed the housekeeper. Of course, Wu Qian is also very good, she can take on the job in Florida or the winery, but for the mansion to be built in the future, the butler naturally has to reflect the face and style of the host.


    Joanna thought for a while: "Let Mr. Brandon do it?"


    An Feng recalled the image of the old England butler in his mind, and said, "He is indeed suitable, but he didn''t seem to have such a meaning before, right?"


    "If I try hard enough, he will agree!" Joanna smiled mischievously.


    An Feng reminded her: "Let''s not force the old man, it will be embarrassing if the health is really bad."


    "I''ll pay attention." Joanna said in a measured manner.

 Chapter 310： talk about the future

    Chapter 310 Talking about the future


    A few days later, Sinclair''s plane landed at the local airport.


    The butler Wu Qian sent two Maseratis to pick up and drop off the guests, and the rest went to work. About ten minutes later, two black executive cars drove up from the foot of the mountain. An Feng and Joanna, both dressed in formal attire, came outside the door to wait for the guests. The two presidents stopped at the door.


    Two temporary servants stepped forward and opened the door to ask the guest to get out of the car, then opened the trunk and took out the guest''s luggage. After the car door was opened, An Feng, as the host, shook hands with them with a smile, and greeted and welcomed them. Joanna also shook hands with them, or kissed them.


    "Guys, please come inside!" An Feng turned sideways and accompanied the guests into the gate. The servant followed with the luggage, while the driver parked the car in the garage.


    There are four people visiting this time: Bazel and his wife Victoria, Matthew and his daughter Catherine. Because Matthew''s wife was pregnant, it was inconvenient to go out, so the female companion became his daughter. Catherine appeared in a beautiful dress, looking slim, beautiful and generous.


    Walking to the well-decorated front yard, Matthew looked at the surrounding flowers and green grass, nodded and praised: "Nice place, the scenery is so beautiful!"


    "It''s full of greenery, and I want to live like this too." Catherine said.


    "Thank you!" Joanna said with a smile on her face, "Living here is very relaxing and the air is good. If you like, you can come over as a guest at any time."


    "I will." Catherine nodded, "I like it here!"


    The front yard is relatively spacious, and the guests strolled slowly, feeling the freshness and nature here, and praised it without hesitation. An Feng was also happy in his heart. He spent huge sums of money to hire a designer to remodel the house based on the original foundation, just to reflect the face and temperament of the winery. Well worth it nowadays.


    Entering the house and coming to the living room, the servants carried the luggage upstairs, and An Feng sat down in the living room with them. Before dinner time, they can have a cup of tea, have some light conversations, or go shopping... In short, deliberately set aside time for the guests to adapt to the environment here without appearing in a hurry.


    So far everything is in order and the housekeeper has a good plan.


    Sit for a while, the big tiger cat that appeared in the living room attracted everyone''s attention.


    Matthew met Xiaobai a few times, and was deeply impressed by this clever tiger. He waved to it: "Hey, big cat! Come here!"


    Xiaobai looked at this side, and it trotted over lively and active.


    Katherine was surprised: "Wow, it really came!"


    Bazel and Victoria also watched in amazement. Xiaobai came to Matthew, knelt down and looked at him. Matthew smiled and touched its head: "Good boy!"


    "Can I touch it too?" Catherine asked.


    "It''s very docile and has a good temper, as long as you don''t hurt it on purpose." An Feng told them.


    Catherine also touched Xiao Bai''s body with a smile on her face: "It''s so interesting! There is such an obedient tiger!"


    In the future, Wu Qian doesn��t have to worry about whether the guests feel comfortable or not. The tiger is very interesting and can be cute. Everyone is looking for opportunities to take pictures with it to commemorate it, and there is constant laughter. Occasionally some amusing behavior, even the housekeeper who requires seriousness at all times can''t help laughing, let alone the guests.


    The dinner was held in a very pleasant atmosphere. Three servants in tuxedos took care of the dietary problems full-time. Whether it was pouring wine or serving food, they were very professional and standard. Wu Qian was able to find a professional so quickly, the method is very simple: directly ask for someone from a high-end restaurant.


    There are always waiters on vacation. She offers a high salary to hire them, and they will naturally not refuse.


    Both the service and the environment are comparable to five-star standards. The host and guests are very satisfied. Eating, drinking and chatting at the dinner table, focusing on hobbies and leisure planning, are different from the environment where business is inevitably talked about in the past. Now it is completely It is an exchange of friends.


    The dinner took almost four hours, and it was not too early after the end. Considering that they all flew from the east, the jet lag would make them rest early. The caring Wu Qian was very flexible and did not arrange follow-up. Several guests went back to Rest in the guest room, marking a perfect end to tonight.


    An Feng also heaved a sigh of relief. The reason why he didn''t like to have formal dinners at home was because he was afraid of trouble and he couldn''t handle it. But after having a butler, he obviously didn''t have to think about anything. Form, etc., and do other things with peace of mind.


    The next day, Wu Qian divided the morning arrangement into two parts. One is to visit the winery, experience the winemaking process, and then taste the top red wine; In the plump vineyards, feel the style of the winery.


    After the two experiences, the guests returned to the winery one after another at noon. After a simple lunch, it was leisure in the afternoon, that is, free activities. You can continue to play what you are interested in, or you can lie quietly under the grape trellis and enjoy , and even take a dip in the swimming pool.


    An Feng was relaxing in the backyard with Matthew and Bazel. Put on a cup of afternoon tea, some biscuits and desserts, enough to consume the whole day with the temperament of the British. Matthew is more active than Bazel. He runs to play Frisbee throwing games with Tiger, and he likes the clever and obedient Xiaobai very much.


    Bazel is more calm, his age and experience have determined his character, and as the successor appointed by the old lady, he should be calm and dignified. Comparing the two in An Feng''s mind, Matthew is easier to get along with and can joke with him, but Bazel has the seriousness of an elder.


    An Feng chatted with his interests, and under the intentional guidance, the topic came to future issues.


    Bazel seems to have expected it: "I think you have saved it for a long time?"


    An Feng nodded straightforwardly: "Yes, to be honest, I didn''t care enough before, but now the direction is too complicated, I just want to know how you plan to let the consortium go, the direction, or what kind of future you envision. ? so that I can prepare for it.��


    Bazel didn''t beat around the bush: "If you talk about the whole, the future of the consortium will naturally continue to surpass, break the current pattern of interest groups influencing the world, and stand at the top of the world, and no one can shake it; as for individuals, differences in ideology, this It''s complicated."


    "We have a lot of time." An Feng smiled.


    Bazel smiled and asked, "How do you think a family can last for a long time?"


    An Feng thought for a long time and shook his head: "I don''t know. But according to my understanding of Chinese history, there is no family that can prosper for a long time. They all follow the track of history. The old ones are overthrown by the new ones. The same goes for Qi Shou''s royal family."


    Bazel nodded: "Yes, not only China, but also Europe, the Roman Empire is so powerful, and it ended up being fragmented. So I was thinking, is there a better way to avoid or slow down its trajectory, detached from nature established rules."


    An Feng thought that the question was profound enough, but it was in line with the level of Bazel who had so much money that he should think about it wildly.


    He asked: "Have you thought about it?"


    "No." Bazel shook his head, "but I think of some things: taking care of the front and back of the stage, multi-level hunting, and creating a special belief, focusing on the core of extraordinary thinking, standing outside the chessboard instead of On the chessboard, there will be a clearer mind to judge."


    "My philosophy class is terrible." An Feng shook his head, "But I understand a little bit of your thinking. You don''t want to be limited by the concepts of ordinary people, because you will be affected by them. What you pursue is the power that can be accumulated with money , make rules that can control the whole situation, right?"


    Bazel praised: "You are right!"


    An Feng continued: "Don''t you think this is very difficult? It can affect the whole world. Money has its potential, but how much money is needed to make each generation''s enduring financial power? In ordinary people''s voice , as absurd as the prevailing ''Masonic'' conspiracy theory."


    "Freemasonry exists." Bazel said calmly.


    "Who are you?" An Feng asked. In fact, Freemasonry is not mysterious. There are more than 4 million members in the United States. It is very easy to join. Most of them are ordinary people, and some members appear in politicians. It''s just that few people know who the core is and where it is.


    Bazel shook his head: "I''m not interested in those. I pursue more realistic things that can be mastered, just like your promising technology."


    The topic came to An Feng, he smiled: "Okay, what do you want to know?"


    Bazel said with great interest: "As a super genius who has traveled across the oceans, you have brought incredible everything, and every item can affect the world. Don''t you have long-term considerations? From what I know about you, although You''re not mature enough, but you always have plans for the future."


    "I do have some ideas, closer to your goal." An Feng said.


    Bazel took a sip of tea and listened attentively.


    An Feng said: "It''s very simple. Take that bio-drink as an example. If it is promoted to the whole world, within three years, people will be inseparable from it after they feel its benefits. It can be said that it has mastered future; there are other technologies yet to be developed that, if successful, could have far-reaching consequences."


    "Specifically?" Bazel asked.


    "I don''t need to say everything, do I?" An Feng smiled. A man as cautious as Bazel must have known what he was doing.


    Bazel nodded: "You are always surprising."


    "Thank you." An Feng said, "As long as I provide enough protection, I believe your vision will be more easily realized. To be honest, I also hope that you can create brilliance, because everyone benefits. You need the core of support Strength, our gang clearly is!"


    Bazel suddenly smiled: "With your guarantee, our expansion will be even faster."


    "Now are multiple aspects going on at the same time?" An Feng asked.


    "Yes, the opportunity is fleeting. Taking advantage of the advantages in many aspects, we will expand in every region of the world, gain a foothold, and then use the advantages of the technological outbreak to consolidate our position, and then the wealth will be distributed globally. ..." Bazel briefly said a few points.


    Bazel''s stage is not limited to the United States, the concept of the country is very simple: to provide them with a platform for wealth. The platform is everyone''s, but the money is yours. Bazel''s perspective is on the whole world. He is more concerned about the gains and losses of interests. It is necessary that even the country can be reduced to a tool.


    But they do not yet have the ability to do whatever they want, so they pay attention to the distribution of wealth, disperse power, and then bloom and bear fruit from various places. When concentrated, this will be a force that no one can shake. groups of the world.

 Chapter 311： identity done

    Chapter 311 Identity fixed


    In fact, the matter is simple, just one word: money.


    Money is not everything, but without money, everything is impossible. Bazel''s ideals are also in line with An Feng''s considerations. The future cannot be changed by one person alone. Even if he has strength, it will be difficult for him to amass the wealth of the world. Even Bazel, who is so proud, knows that he needs to gather more talents in various fields.


    At present, they are still stuck in the acquisition of wealth. The core of the consortium that Bazel admires is undoubtedly the top elite club. High-end people use each other''s influence to plan decades, or even hundreds of years of future, so that their children and grandchildren can enjoy the future. The coolness of the trees planted by man.


    But it is very difficult to plan for generations to come. There is a saying in China that wealth does not last for three generations, while in the West it lasts longer. Sinclair''s ancestors accumulated wealth for four or five generations until now, and they have only encountered a little fatigue. After hundreds of years of changes in Joanna''s family, Only then did he face the sad situation where heirs had to be found from the collateral lineage.


    But between short-term and long-term, An Feng will definitely choose the latter, and he doesn''t ask for hundreds of years. He will have no regrets if his huge wealth in the future can last for five generations. The difficulty is not so great, because Westerners are better at managing wealth and making it last from generation to generation, so they just follow suit.


    Tired of playing, Matthew came back, sat down, and looked at An Feng: "Did he tell you about the plans of those dead brain cells?"


    An Feng said: "It''s good to make some plans."


    Matthew��s mentality is very good: "God will determine the success or failure of things. If you think too much, you will be like him. You can��t sleep well at night, so relax."


    An Feng looked at Bazel who was shaking his head, and smiled: "It''s lucky to have a brother who can share the pressure."


    "Maybe." Matthew said, "Anyway, I''m used to it, so I just follow what he says, do what he thinks is right, and the rest depends on luck."


    Bazel said: "I''m doing it for the family."


    "I didn''t say no?" Matthew smiled, "But can we not discuss heavy topics now? How about talking about pets?"


    An Feng knew what he wanted to say: "Do you like big pets?"


    "I just fell in love with it recently." Matthew looked at Xiaobai in the distance. "I used to have friends who raised them, but they were all lazy and had no fighting power. The one you raised is different. It is usually docile, but when it breaks out, it doesn''t show any signs of fighting. No less than wild beasts, wild blood flows in the body!"


    "It is the most special one." An Feng said.


    "How did you do it?" Bazel also asked at this time, it seems that he is also interested.


    "Bio-modification technology." An Feng did not hide it. "It is a project that the research center is testing. Through genetic mutations and other external environmental influences, animals can evolve in the direction that humans want. The tiger I raise has a personality Leaning more toward hounds."


    "Can there be another experiment?" Matthew asked.


    "It''s a future trend, and we have to wait for the final results next year before we can judge the stability of the technology. But look at my current relationship with tigers, the probability of problems is extremely small. If you are interested in the future, you can ask biotechnologists to help you You specialize in tiger services."


    "It''s good news! I''m looking forward to a big cat!" Matthew said happily.


    "Wait, did you just say ''creature''?" Bazel asked keenly.


    An Feng nodded: "That''s right, not only tigers, but other creatures are also applicable, but genetic inheritance is complicated, and there are too many things to calculate. The supercomputer in the research center is born for this. Biocode work will be easier."


    "Brilliant!" said Matthew, "You always do amazing things."


    "I''m just an instructor, and the focus of my work is on the technicians." An Feng said with a smile, and the ladies who had gone out also came back at this time.


    An Feng greeted them: "How are you playing?"


    "Very good!" Catherine said, "We were practicing jumping just now, and we also enjoyed Joanna''s wonderful performance."


    Victoria sat down and said: "Joanna is going to prepare for the equestrian competition in fifteen days. If we have time, we can come and cheer."


    "The content of the game?" Bazel asked.


    Joanna said: "The three equestrian events minus the cross-country event, the other two will take two days to complete. The standard of participation is not high. Are you interested?"


    Originally, this was just a polite remark, but Bazel said: "I have time this month, and I am interested, if not to a high standard."


    Catherine also said at this time: "Bazel is a professional rider!"


    An Feng looked at Bazel, who didn''t show much, and he said modestly: "It happened a long time ago. When I was studying in England, I was often exposed to horse racing and equestrianism. It''s late, but I''m purely after the honor, not the rank."


    Catherine said: "The prize money for the champion of the competition is 1 million, which is very generous! I support you!"


    Joanna smiled and said, "Thank you!"


    Matthew saw that everyone was so active, and he also had an idea: "If the threshold is not high, I might be able to participate."


    "You need to be with your mother, enjoying it alone is a sin." Catherine reminded.


    Everyone was amused by her seriousness.


    ��


    They stayed here for two days in Anfeng. In addition to visiting the winery, they also visited the racetrack. At present, designers certified by the FEI are invited to design the arena. The obstacle course is located outdoors, while the dressage arena is indoors. The publicity work has already started, and the bonus of more than 2 million yuan is very interesting.


    Bazel decided to take part in the race. In order to bring popularity to the racetrack, he also decided to promote it in his circle of friends. His publicity effect was extraordinary. As the saying goes, like attracts like, and people are divided into groups. When An Feng started the racetrack, countless people responded. Support, Bazel is the same reason.


    The guests left the next day, and Bazel also trained in the Eastern Conference first, and participated in the game on time.


    In late October, An Feng received an official reply from the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis that his status as a diplomat was no longer a problem, and he needed to go back to the local area to go through formalities and collect documents. An Feng took his bodyguards and set off lightly. Joanna was not accompanied, and she had to prepare for competition training.


    The special plane landed in the hot St. Kitts Island, and the special car came to the local resort hotel. No matter what time of day it is hot summer here, Anfeng is not accompanied by anyone, and he is unwilling to go out, so he just blows the air conditioner in the hotel, and holds a reception at night to communicate with local officials.


    An Feng has a close relationship with them, and he is familiar with the rules. The other party is also aware of An Feng''s reputation and character. This kind of "political cooperation" is very pleasant. In recent years, both officials and residents have benefited from An Feng. Even if it is exposed, it will not affect the overall situation.


    An Feng was holding a wine glass, talking with San Qi and Wu Tuo.


    An Feng mentioned a few words about the two guys who went to study in the United States: "I have met them a few times before, and they seem to be very adapted to life in the United States. A good environment is very important for shaping behavior. I believe that after they return from their studies, they will It must be able to contribute to the country.��


    Sangqi said: "I need to ask Mr. An to help me in this regard."


    "I will. It''s inconvenient for you to go back and forth frequently, and I can take advantage of the convenience to visit them. If anyone needs help, I will definitely help." An Feng said with a smile. In fact, he had never seen the two people. This guy, all the assistants went to see and give them some money.


    Anyway, those two guys know their own strengths, and people of An Feng''s level are beyond his reach. He only needs to give them a sum of money every time the assistant comes over. They can keep some of them, and call the rest back to their parents, living a chic life and picking up girls.


    The cooperation between the two parties has developed to a very tacit level. On the second day, An Feng held the appointment ceremony in a low-key manner. The whole process took three minutes, that is, the issuance of certificates, and after the duties were announced, the diplomatic representatives who were purely soy sauce finished it. Use the rest of the time to go and see Check out the private resort and head back.


    The destination this time is Washington.


    As a diplomatic representative, he needs to meet with the embassy stationed there to get acquainted with each other. Then provide some appropriate help, such as improving the living conditions of the embassy, ??etc. Although the matter is small, the process is complete. Being close to the ambassador will be good for the future.


    Washington is too small. The only airport in the DC only accepts domestic flights. For international routes, even diplomats cannot use it.


    So landed at the airport in Virginia.


    After getting off the plane, take a special car to Washington, more than 30 kilometers away.


    This is the first time for An Feng to come to Washington DC. He didn''t pay much attention to the political capital in the past. It is small in size and has nothing but culture. He just happens to have little interest in culture, that is, to look at the scenery through the car window. Half an hour later, the diplomatic car arrived at the embassy area.


    The Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis has a good relationship with the United States. The embassy is located on the embassy street. There are three or four-story townhouses on both sides of the road. There are embassies of various countries, and the environment is fresh and elegant. After An Feng got off the car, he shook hands with the ambassador to the United States who came out to greet him, and went into the room together. The Prime Minister had already notified him before coming, and specially arranged a free time for the meeting. An Feng went around to visit the working environment of his colleagues.


    Then he said that the environment here can be improved, donating some office and household materials, plus replacing the two Japanese cars used by the embassy with Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and some donations... This move won everyone in the embassy Thank you very much for your respect.


    An Feng stayed for a while to learn about his possible work, what diplomatic representatives need to pay attention to, and so on. Sanqi gave him a very high level of authority as a diplomatic representative, and the right of immunity is absolute immunity, not functional immunity. It can be seen that the relationship between money accumulation is still very strong.


    Originally planned to go back in the afternoon, but by coincidence, he also got his American passport.


    The news was told to him by the secretary of the president. When he learned that he was in Washington, he agreed to deliver it to him tomorrow. An Feng didn''t even need to take the naturalization test and take the oath.


    Originally, he had reviewed and was going to go for an interview and exam, and shouted a few times to swear allegiance to the national flag. Later, Anderson considered that he had a special status, acquired dual citizenship, and was a diplomat. The feeling of applying for false certificates is shady.


    The only difference is: his information is recorded and can be used. False certificates are only similar in appearance and have no connotation. There is no difference in the others, whichever is easier to use, he chooses a diplomat with more privileges. American citizenship is just a shield that some people can use with confidence.


    The status of a diplomat is different. In the past, inspections were required to enter and exit the United States. Now it is natural to go casually without sufficient legitimate reasons. It cannot stop diplomatic exemption personnel. Even if he goes out with a few guns, no one will come Check the diplomat''s bag.

 Chapter 312： two day race

    Chapter 312 Two-day match


    The time has come to the end of October, and the two-day competition is coming soon.


    As of yesterday''s pre-selection of qualifications, there are more than forty contestants who meet the requirements. The competition requires that the horse''s level cannot exceed one star, but there is no limit. Professionals will judge before participating in the test, and those who cheat at a high level are not allowed.


    The prize money set for the competition is too high and generous. Even if there is no deliberate publicity, the attractive news has already spread, and both newspapers and the Internet have reported it. There are quite a few qualified contestants, the only thing is that there is not enough time, otherwise more people will sign up this time.


    The overall evaluation of the contestants is a group of amateur riders with 20 to 30 years of equestrian experience and a group of professional riders competing on the same stage. Joanna, as a contestant, is under a lot of pressure. Although she is very talented, her opponent''s level On par with her, and even stronger.


    An Feng said to her before the game: "How about we set up podiums for the top ten?"


    "No!" Joanna shook her head, "I want to compete with my own strength, and I will come in second. I just want to express myself on the field!"


    "I will always support you!" An Feng said.


    A few days before the start of the race, the participants arrived at SLO one after another, and the Blue Sky Racecourse provided training grounds and professional horse care. Many contestants came with their teams. They are professional riders. Their goal is to compete for the generous rewards of the top three, and their attitude is very serious.


    Bazel''s team arrived three days ago, and they also brought their own strong cheerleaders. Members of the Sinclair family came, and Christina couldn''t sit still, and came to watch the game with her stomach upright. An Feng specially prepared a room in the winery for her, but she is in good condition, she is more than five months pregnant and can move around very easily.


    The airports in several nearby cities are already full of private jets, the hotel rooms are facing full capacity, and Anfeng��s winery is also full. The guests are all important friends, rushing to cheer Joanna and Bazel. The big bosses of the consortium participated in the battle in person, and many of them came uninvited.


    Bazel''s reputation in the circle is not so high, as can be seen from the luxury business jets parked at several nearby airports, and even brought too many bodyguards, and groups of black suits can often be seen in the hotel , and currently they have taken over the security work at the racetrack.


    In addition, some members of the Blueline family, An Feng''s consortium partners and friends were present. There are also some friends who are engaged in the media industry. They mentioned the event in newspapers or on the Internet, and the publicity effect was extremely strong. They even invited a professional filming team, and the overall level continued to rise.


    Until the day of the game, the event has become the focus of the industry.


    Part of this was influenced by An Feng, and the other part was promoted by friends in the industry. As a result, it spread widely, and in a short period of time, a group of real upper class people gathered. To save An Feng and Bazel''s face, they came to cheer in person, and all the VIP seats had been reserved.


    The dressage arena is indoors, not too big, and the auditorium can only accommodate 3,000 people. All the seats have been booked out, and most of them are nearby residents. Because it is a free ticket, it is not cheap. The remaining small group of people, men in uniform formal attire, women in bright morning gowns, wearing hats with various characteristics and shapes, looked at the VIP auditorium, very similar to the grand occasion of the Royal Ascot.


    It can be said that anyone selected at the VIP seats may be an influential capitalist, an authentic upper-class person, and the live cameras gave them and their wives a lot of shots. Although the TV station that got the special invitation didn''t know the situation, when they saw the clear-cut group of bodyguards around the VIP, they had a keen sense of smell and knew that these people were either rich or expensive, otherwise there wouldn''t be so many black suits maintaining order.


    Therefore, the focus of the camera and eyes is on the VIP auditorium, and being able to show your face is success.


    An Feng was among them, surrounded by Joanna''s parents and friends, all of whom came to cheer her on. Beside them are members of the Sinclair and Blulane families, talking in low voices, very particular about quality. The referees and other staff on the arena are ready. The referees have the referee qualifications recognized by the FEI. The design of the arena and the first two designated movements of dressage are also professionally designed.


    The dressage arena is a standard 60��20-meter square sand field, with ABCD and other points set up with letters, and everything is undertaken according to the standard. Before the start of the race, the racers first undergo a veterinary inspection, mainly to check the condition of the horses to prevent accidents.


    The competition started in anticipation. The individual competition was divided into three rounds. The first two rounds were designated movements, set by the International Equestrian Federation, and the last round was a free interpretation of the soundtrack. The rider and the horse performed their own music and self-choreographed dance steps. The first player to play is from a local in California, and he completed it quite well.


    In fact, the competition is a performance of "people in costumes and horses dancing". Every instruction of the rider, the horse must take every walking step with agility and ease.


    When the various combinations of canter, trot and canter are displayed, it is like a horse dancing in the field.


    Looking at the roster, Joanna is placed in the middle, giving time to prepare and not consuming patience. Everyone watched quietly. Because it was a one-star competition, the players and horses were very professional, and they performed the art of "horse ballet" exquisitely and elegantly, winning rounds of applause.


    After more than a dozen players continued, Joanna appeared on the broadcast.


    Followed by a standard black and white riding suit, Joanna, who is driving a racehorse, appears on the stage. She wears a safety helmet, reveals a small portion of her blond hair, and has a straight waist. The gentlemen at the scene cheered uncharacteristically, and the previously dull VIP seats suddenly broke out, and the surrounding audience were very curious.


    Joanna, who has won so much applause, has multiple cameras pointed at her, attracting everyone''s attention.


    The older cheerleaders were in charge of applauding and cheering, and Luo Jie and Wang Le had already started to wave the custom-made flags in their hands. The competition hadn''t started yet, and everyone seemed to have decided that the contestants were the champions. This overflowing enthusiasm was simply irresistible.


    Joanna calmly drove the horse into the arena from point A. Angelina came to the center of the arena with regular slow steps and stopped quietly. Joanna facing the camera is very confident, but her expression is a little serious. It can be seen from the big screen that she nodded towards the camera and started the game.


    This movement stipulated by the FEI cannot be played freely, so it can be compared with the performance of the previous dozen or so players. She steered Angelina to continue to walk in regular small steps, from the center point to the side length point, Turn to walk along the border with high forelimbs and a slow, rhythmic walk.


    The footwork of dressage is different from that of ordinary riding. It is rhythmic like ballet, with large range of motion and high hoofs, showing confidence. And to be coherent, the horse has a fast reaction speed and a vigorous pace, which is very demanding on the horse itself.


    After passing two points at a trot, Joanna controlled Angelina to take a side step, which was wonderful, keeping the horse''s head straight ahead, moving forward and sideways at the same time. It tests the judgment of distance and the pace of the horse. Points will be deducted for making mistakes or not approaching the specified point when arriving.


    Everyone watched with bated breath. Although Angelina is not a million-dollar horse, she has been with Joanna for three years, and they have a good understanding in training. She completed the movements obediently. After a round of performances, he walked around the field with a brisk walk, suddenly changed to a slow walk, and then followed a diagonal walk.


    Dressage scoring depends on the skill of the rider and the horse. Technical Joanna naturally passed the test. She was very calm, with a straight waist and a solemn expression, but the horse was not good enough. Tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of horses usually have little riding experience, but in dressage, the rider��s legs convey complex instructions. If the horse is not smart enough, it will not be able to understand it, causing wrong steps, or simply refusing to execute.


    Joanna and Angelina were both in good condition, and they completed the required actions with very few mistakes when their opponents were not weak. Regardless of the results, she won the warmest applause and cheers from the most excited fans. An Feng and his parents-in-law all stood up and waved the flag.


    The camera gave close-ups of this group of rich and expensive audiences, with smiles on their faces.


    Joanna smiled and raised her right hand as a signal, then patted Angelina on the neck to encourage her, and rode a racehorse around the field, very victorious. Regardless of other things, this confidence alone won the applause of many people. Of course, ladies are always easy to get applause.


    Joanna drives away, the next player enters the field, and the game continues.


    There were only two contestants who could get the collective cheers from the VIPs and regardless of their image. The first one was Joanna, and the second one was Bazel. He rode a prized black Hanoverian horse, a 12-year-old in excellent condition. Of course, he himself is also skilled.


    Bazel, who was riding on the back of a racehorse, was expressionless. He was usually serious, but at this time he had the decisiveness and majesty of an officer giving orders on the battlefield. The tall horse under him is like a war horse, performing every movement accurately... After three games, he scored third.


    Joanna��s subsequent game was not as eye-catching as Bazel��s. She hesitated about the route during the second performance, but she quickly adjusted. In the free performance, she used her superb footsteps to perform a wonderful hoof ballet, and then raised her legs at a slow speed, winning cheers from the audience.


    The last free play was unrestrained, and Joanna''s performance was also perfect.


    Dressage competitions are numerous and take up a day. Before the curtain closed at 4:30 in the afternoon, Joanna ranked eighth in points. Among many competitors, especially women, she was good enough. It''s a pity that the horses are not good enough, if "Gina" trains for another two years, the results will be even better.


    Bazel is really good. He finished fourth in the final points and is not far from the previous one. If he maintains a good condition in tomorrow''s show jumping show, he is very likely to enter the top three. Back that night, everyone held a celebration for the two of them in the winery.


    Due to the large number of guests this time, not only Sinclair, but also Blu Lain and other friends, if An Feng and his wife are here to deal with it... just close the door, but Wu Qian still designed the reception work and gave the guests Provides a comfortable environment and is qualified as a housekeeper.


    At the dinner table, they discussed tomorrow''s game.


    Bazel is naturally a hot topic. Whether he can be in the top three or not depends on the state of the horse. As a rider who has achieved a professional one-star level in his twenties, although he has not continued to develop professionally, but with the love of equestrianism among British nobles , he naturally did not work hard, the level is very high.


    For Joanna, everyone��s praise is no less than that of Bazel, for no other reason. She is only twenty-five years old, and she can finish eighth in a field full of strong players at a young age. The horses are not a good breed. Relying on one''s own skills to reverse the disadvantages, this skill is admirable.


    The lively and active Catherine raised her glass and said to everyone: "In addition to Bazel winning the top three, we wish Joanna to break into the top seven and win the bonus!"


    "Cheers!" Everyone toasted to bless Joanna.

 Chapter 313： happier than a champion

    Chapter 313 Happier than the champion


    The second day��s competition may be due to the outdoors, the crowd can move freely, and it is more lively than the first day. Spectators arrived early, and before the competition started, the contestants were using the venue for training. However, according to the regulations of the competition, only riders can experience the arena, and horse racing cannot be tested.


    You can��t ride a horse into the arena to experience, but the rider can go in and take a note of the route and the distance between obstacles, and then decide how many steps to let the horse walk during the competition according to the actual situation. It doesn''t matter if you walk more or less, it must be just right, and the route must be correct.


    The size of the obstacle course is not very large. It tests the reactions of horses and riders. Therefore, riders are required to follow the route on the field. If they cannot remember the order of the route, they will be disqualified. It is not difficult to memorize the route, there are number marks next to the obstacles, so be careful not to go wrong.


    An Feng also accompanied Joanna to look at the field. The specifications are very standard. The 1.3-meter hurdles have a total length of about 650 meters. There are 12 hurdles in total, one of which is a double-jump hurdle and one triple-jump hurdle, which is the standard hurdle. 12 columns and 15 jumps. The whole process can take no more than 70 seconds, and one point will be penalized for exceeding 4 seconds.


    In addition, four points will be penalized for encountering obstacles, four points for the first fear of jumping, four points for fear of jumping for the second time, elimination for falling horses, elimination for changing routes... The difficulty of the competition is set according to the international one-star rating. Joanna knows the rules by heart, and is now memorizing the route and planning the strategy.


    After observation, they return to the competition preparation area.


    The fans of Joanna and Bazel gathered here. Bazel was the first to come back. After watching the game a few times, he left confidently. After Joanna came back, others cheered and encouraged her.


    When the staff came and prepared to clear the venue, the fan group left. An Feng took Joanna''s hand and said, "I look forward to your wonderful performance!"


    "I will!" Joanna nodded.


    An Feng lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek, encouraging him, "Come on!"


    Farewell to Joanna for a while, they returned to the audience area and sat down. The obstacle course is held in the center of the racecourse. It was originally a polo field, but props were temporarily added as an obstacle course. In the audience area around the game, there are chairs and some small tables, all for VIP audiences.


    Other spectators find their own places and occupy the commanding heights to watch the game.


    The camera crew and TV station also arrived on time, ready to record the exciting competition. Yesterday��s dressage competition has been featured on the local news, and it has also been reported on the Internet, and has received a lot of praise. When it was Sunday today, more spectators came, and those who sold drinks and snacks on the spot made a lot of money.


    After An Feng took his seat, the game was ready to start.


    Each player has only one chance to play, and the winner is determined by the player with the lowest penalty points. The best score is zero points.


    The first contestant appears on the stage. After the referee rings the competition bell, he has 40 seconds to prepare to start the race. The timing starts when the horse passes the marking point and ends at the finishing point. The horses under the first runner were active and soon passed the timing point to start the race.


    In the face of twelve obstacles and twists and turns, the calculation of footsteps and speed is particularly important. The first player performed very well at the beginning. The 1.3-meter obstacle course is not too difficult. The Olympic Games use 1.6 meters, but the course is very difficult. The key point is that if you are not sure, you will lose the best take-off time.


    The first contestant encountered such a problem. The horse raced too fast, turned a sharp turn on the field, and came to the sixth obstacle too early, causing the jump to be late, and the horse''s hind legs hit the barrier! But the rider finished the race calmly, with a total penalty of four points, which is a good result.


    Obstacle races also test the tacit understanding between man and horse, which requires a clear mind.


    The second player came on the stage and also jumped well, but made a mistake of jumping too early: when passing a water barrier, jumping too early caused the horse��s hoof to step into the water, and the penalty was four points. Later, in the triple jump obstacle, the last obstacle bar is encountered, and another four points are penalized. The distance is not good enough.


    It is not appropriate to take off whether it is too late or too early. In the top competitions, there are also those who can accurately measure the pace of the horses to single digits.


    The third player continued to perform.


    The visual effect of the jumping competition is more intense than the gentle dressage, and the rhythm is fast. The audience can feel the scene of the horses galloping past, the dust flying, the horses jumping high, and landing heavily. Every game has the ability to keep the audience staring and stopping talking.


    Equestrian, as one of the few events that allow men and women to compete on the same stage, is very popular. In addition to Joanna, who has attracted much attention, there are five women participating in this competition, all of whom use their own horses. Women in dressage are highly talented , the obstacle course is also good enough.


    On the field, there was a scene where women did not give in to men. Several ladies finished the game gracefully. Before Joanna came on the stage, a professional player won the first zero penalty points in the game with outstanding performance, and won the best result so far. While bringing excitement, it also brought pressure.


    After Joanna appeared on the stage, the fan club became active, and An Feng also encouraged her in her heart. She refused to admit defeat, and naturally hoped that her performance could attract attention. It is already good, but she pursues better... Angelina''s performance in the obstacle course Showing very well, this is an opportunity!


    Joanna was as calm as ever. After the referee rang the bell, she did not rush to urge Angelina to start. Instead, she walked a certain distance in small steps, her eyes swept over the obstacle course, and she felt a little leisurely. Of course, she was right here. But at home, the advantage is full.


    After she passed the timing point, Angelina changed to a fast walk. When the first obstacle appeared, she jumped ahead of the other horses, but because of her fast enough speed, the jump covered a long distance. After landing easily, the dust Flying sharp turn, change running before the second obstacle.


    Joanna walked very fast.


    Many spectators felt that she was taking risks. Referring to the previous competitions, when crossing this obstacle, she needed to pull the rein to slow down and then take off. Joanna was speeding up to catch up with the time, but it was easy to make mistakes��the second Road obstacles are still crossed quickly.


    The speed is fast, Angelina jumps high, so there is no obstacle.


    "God bless!" An Feng said silently.


    The fan group also breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Joanna has her own confidence. She turned the five steps of others into her own four steps, and passed in a more time-saving way. The next few double-crossbar obstacles were relatively smooth. The horse races back and forth on the field once, and double jumps through double obstacles.


    Turn around and come back to cross the water barrier. The direction in which the horse��s front hooves hit the ground determines the horse��s turn. In this regard, Joanna��s instructions to the horse are very accurate. This is an area with a high incidence of penalty points. If it is too early or too late, or if the pace is wrongly estimated, it will make a mistake.


    Joanna pulled the rein uncharacteristically this time, Angelina''s head was lifted up, her speed slowed down, she jumped over the first hurdle, jumped over the second hurdle in three steps, and jumped over the third hurdle in three steps... She was safe and sound ! Follow the U-turn and head back to the tenth double-bar barrier, where penalties are frequent, where the horses slow down after the triple jump, and the cunning course planner deliberately made the high-speed barrier.


    Passing the high-speed barrier at a slow speed is a test of skill.


    This time, Joanna had to calculate her steps accurately. Angelina leaped her body at the designated take-off point, and passed with her hind legs slightly away from the second crossbar. It would be beneficial for a short horse to pass this obstacle, but if it was a long-legged Ouba, he might run into it a little bit.


    After she passed the barrier, everyone stood up, and cheers came to the top of their throats.


    The eleventh and twelfth are just soy sauce. The designer gave the rider a breather, and what he faced was a very common single-horizontal obstacle, but Ma Daha also encountered it. An Feng stared at the last moment without blinking. Angelina successfully jumped over the twelfth barrier and crossed the finishing point. It took a total of 58 seconds.


    Currently she is the first, with zero penalty points and the shortest time.


    "Good job!" An Feng applauded, and the audience also burst into cheers. Joanna won zero penalty points and the shortest time with a very risky strategy.


    Holding the reins, she waved one hand toward them, a smile on her face.


    The exciting competitions in the future will continue. Although the riders have reached the professional level, the obstacle course is also designed according to the level, and the difficulty is slightly higher. There are various mistakes. A situation where a horse fears jumping during a triple jump.


    A horse is more solid than a human. If it thinks it can��t do it, it just can��t do it, and it won��t push through.


    The rider who was afraid of jumping shook his head and rearranged the order of the next race. He still had another chance. Next came Bazel and his black steed. This tall horse is very handsome and worth millions. According to his son Charlie, he usually takes care of it himself whenever he has time.


    Bazel brought the horse to the arena, presumably also to revive his glory. He adopted the same strategy as Joanna and passed quickly! Flying hooves, turf splashing, the overall rhythm is very fast, and the mastery of the pace is at a superb level. The first few jumps are very standard.


    The obstacles at the back were also passed by stepping on the rhythm. In the end, there were no penalty points. He was three seconds faster than Joanna and achieved the best result in the audience. Everyone applauded. The horse racing is a one-star standard, but Bazel��s skills are more than that. One star, it can be seen from his judgment and technique alone.


    Until all the contestants finished the competition, the time was close to noon, and the obstacle course was not time-consuming, so the organizer changed the award ceremony scheduled for the afternoon to now. In the obstacle course, Joanna ranked third, and the second was a young riders, the first is Bazel.


    In the final comprehensive score, since there is no cross-country score reference, the referee team switched to the form of the same score for obstacle course and dressage, and competed for the total score with a more scientific algorithm. In the end, Joanna took the fifth place with total score , while Bazel became second.


    Those who won the rankings were all very happy, but the most excited thing at the scene was the fans of the two racers. They cheered, brought champagne, shook the bottles and sprayed each other to celebrate. The camera recorded the carnival scene of men and women. The changed cheers are indeed very joyful.


    Then Bazel came to the stage to accept the award. The aura of the runner-up was still very strong, and many photos were taken. Of course, Joanna is indispensable. The organizer is very interesting. There are bonuses for the seventh place, and they can all come forward to accept awards and show their faces. There are quite a lot of bonuses, a total of 100,000 US dollars.


    Joanna made her debut on the stage, but An Feng and her friends and relatives in the audience had already had a quarrel, cheering and cheering, ten times happier than the team that won the championship. If you don''t know the situation, you really think they won the championship . Even the players who did not get a good ranking were also infected.

 Chapter 314： halloween

    Chapter 314 Halloween


    After the noon award presentation, the equestrian feast also came to an end.


    Blue Sky Racecourse is famous! It''s not about how professional the competition is, but the prize money. The first place is 1 million, and the second place is 600,000. Absolutely generous! It is the reward for the third place, which is higher than the champion of some regional professional competitions. Willing to burn money is naturally famous.


    Of course, the rider��s skills are not bad, Bazel��s performance is very eye-catching, and the even more powerful is the first place. The young rider is only in his early twenties, and his level is very high. Due to the blessing of the home field halo, Bazel and Joanna are the most photogenic, and the home field advantage is not covered.


    Among the cheering fans, there are those who celebrate the fifth as the first, you can��t accept it.


    Naturally, after the victory, there will be a celebratory banquet. Westerners are also unequivocal about this. The form is a formal dinner. Under the design of the butler Wu Qian, there is a standard set of procedures: cocktail party first; formal banquet; after the dinner, add to the fun Program; ballroom dancing segment; end again.


    The attendees were all celebrities and rich businessmen, and they were familiar with it. They all appeared in uniform formal attire that night. The men all wore tuxedos, and the women could show more. Unveiled in a unique style.


    She has transformed from a sassy female knight in a tuxedo and leggings in the morning to a charming lady. The transformation of the look has made everyone''s eyes shine. Joanna has already mastered her own style. How to behave in any occasion, She comes at her fingertips.


    An Feng naturally put his arms around her waist, and smiled.


    Regarding the performance of this event, although Joanna is not in the top three, she has something to say that the most important thing is to participate. As long as she has a ranking, she is excellent. Everyone will not ask too much of a lady. After all, this is a hobby rather than a profession. Joanna''s Acting just right earns the most compliments.


    The atmosphere of the dinner was very relaxed, because they were all acquaintances, either relatives or friends, Joanna''s parents'' elegant behavior also received unanimous praise. The core members of the consortium were on the same boat as An Feng, and their relationship was strong enough. The atmosphere is very pleasant.


    Among the quietly played music, elegant and beautiful ladies and gentlemen danced together, pushing the atmosphere of the dinner to the highest point, and it ended perfectly like a successful equestrian competition.


    The next day everyone said their goodbyes. It was the first time for many people to be guests here at Anfeng. Both the environment and the service of the winery can give five-star ratings. Anfeng has received many compliments and invitations. , Reciprocity, he will be a guest next time.


    After seeing off the last guest, An Feng came back and sat on the sofa, just like Xiao Bai who has been hugged countless times these days, exhausted! According to the Western standard of celebration, it looks simple, but after actual participation, various tedious details and links are enough to keep people busy.


    Wang Le, who was still living here, went downstairs with sleepy eyes, walked towards the kitchen automatically, poured a glass of milk, bit a piece of bread, went back and sat down opposite An Feng, and said lazily: "You are still comfortable here, there is a Butler, everything is planned, so it doesn''t bother you at all."


    "So you''re stuck here?" An Feng said.


    "Please! Just drink your glass of milk and a piece of bread, you have to worry about it?" Wang Le said with a smile, as if you chase me and I won''t leave.


    "Stay and work if you don''t leave!" An Feng said, "Today is the 31st, Halloween, and tomorrow is Halloween. We should also prepare some props!"


    "That''s why I came here." Wang Le nodded, "It wasn''t interesting to spend Halloween there last time. I just gave candies to a few bear children. It''s better to get together with more people. If it''s not for you, I''m too lazy to leave , maybe I should go to New York to participate in the parade, it will be more lively."


    "Don''t be too picky about coming and going, as if I''m not welcome here." An Feng said.


    "Okay, brother, I was wrong, okay!" Wang Le smiled, "Let''s go out together when they wake up, maybe they can choose some Halloween costumes!"


    "Good idea." An Feng said, he has been here several times for Halloween, but not at the winery, this time he has to prepare seriously, there are a lot of bear children around, and the little bugs will be killed by their parents at night Driving from door to door asking for candy, and throwing rotten eggs if they don''t give it.


    Chatting in the living room for a while, the two ladies who had enough rest also went downstairs one after another. After breakfast, they put on light makeup and went out together. Considering the capacity issue this time, An Feng drove the pickup truck out. The long trailer is enough Holds lots of pumpkins and other treats. Food consumption has been high recently.


    It just so happens that Wang Le is also there, and there are free coolies. They go to the supermarket first, each with a trolley, and the lady walks in front to buy things. An Feng plans to live in the vineyard for a while, so he needs to prepare some ingredients. Went to buy some beef and lamb chops or something.


    The usual practice is to sweep away the best quality meat, which costs thousands of dollars, but don��t think that it��s not enough. Xiaobai is growing up now, and his appetite is fierce. If you are hesitant, roast a turkey for it when you have a good appetite, and wipe it out properly.


    But this time the high-grade beef is prepared for people. After buying meat and vegetables, go to pick some fruits, and finally prepare exquisite candies, chocolates, etc. for Halloween. After turning around, two large cars The trolleys became three, pushing the trolleys in line to check out.


    Wang Le said politely: "Let me pay the bill."


    "Okay, you come!" An Feng answered the words almost without hesitation.


    Wang Lelen: "Shouldn''t the convention be to politely shirk each other?"


    An Feng smiled: "Save your energy."


    Wang Le shook his head: "Treacherous!"


    The product plus tax, the card is swiped and the two thousand is gone. After finishing, push the cart out, put the packaging bag on the trailer, fill it full, and set off for the next stop.


    There is no Halloween parade in the local area, but a Halloween Party can be held. In addition, bars in the city also hold Halloween celebrations, so they have to prepare some costumes. I found a clothing store recommended by Joanna on the street. It looked small and inconspicuous from the outside, but it was spacious when I walked in.


    There are a lot of customers, many of them are parents with a few bear children running around, buying big and small bags, and some change into props and costumes on the spot, saying that it is Halloween, but there are images of Spiderman and Captain America, and there are A few little bugs dressed as ghosts ran around laughing and joking.


    "Split up!" An Feng suggested.


    "Of course." Wang Le said, it is natural to carefully choose some clothes that you like, unlike shopping in supermarkets, most of the tastes are the same.


    An Feng pushed the shopping cart, and Joanna hugged his arm and started shopping slowly. The first is the women''s clothing section, perhaps because of women''s aesthetics. Women''s clothing is more aesthetically pleasing, such as **** office OL clothing, but the white shirt is stained with blood, like in a certain drama.


    There is also a classic nurse uniform, a full set of female pirates. Joanna pointed to a set of catwoman''s tight black leather jacket and said, "how about catwoman?"


    "Deep V Catwoman?" An Feng looked at it, "It''s still very tight, which challenges her figure!"


    "It''s definitely suitable for me!" She is extremely confident in her figure, "It will look very **** in it."


    "Well, good! I''m really looking forward to how you wear it!" An Feng smiled, and Joanna found the right size and took down the box of this outfit.


    Continue shopping, there are countless **** costumes in the women''s wear area, it doesn''t look like a Halloween celebration, it should be a parade of uniforms. But now any festival will change, and there are still people who go out on blind dates during the Ching Ming Festival in China, so An Feng is completely immune to this situation.


    Finally, she chose a scary and **** nurse uniform. An Feng looked at it and said, "Isn''t this the disfigured nurse in ''Silent Hill''?"


    "Yes, there is also a faceless headgear, isn''t it very cool?" Joanna took off the uniform that was deliberately made dirty.


    "Look at this time-killing pig knife!" An Feng took out the matching classic nurse props.


    "Look at the knife!" Joanna stabbed him with a knife, but An Feng avoided him pretending to be terrified, which made her giggle.


    After accepting the nurse uniform and turning to the back, Joanna also took a pair of handcuffs. Although they are made of plastic, they are not easy to break free. Chill, what is this for? Continue to men''s clothing after shopping.


    Men''s clothing is much rougher, all of which tend to be scary and ugly, even Hulk paint, and various zombies, werewolves, and Bigfoot... Finally, An Feng chose a set of death clothing, with a black cloak to cover the whole body. Stay, wear a scream mask and a scythe, it fits the occasion.


    After shopping, meet Wang Le and see what they bought, but they will show it at night because of the secret.


    When I got home in the afternoon, I started to prepare. The chef I invited was in charge of the dinner. An Feng only needed to move out a few big pumpkins. That''s right, it is to make jack-o-lanterns that are essential for Halloween. First cut off its lid, hollow out the flesh with a spoon, and then paint on the pumpkin with a pen to draw a rough face, and then carve it with a knife. It took a while to complete one.


    "The moon has curved eyes and a big mouth, not bad!" An Feng looked at his results and was very satisfied.


    Wang Le also carved a squeezy pumpkin.


    After finishing the remaining three pumpkins, I found a large candle with a base. When it was getting late, I lit the candle and put it in. Then I covered it and placed it at the entrance of the winery. Just knew someone here was having a Halloween event, kids asking for candy were welcome.


    Joanna came over to look at their results and said, "If you put it on the mountain, will anyone below see it?"


    An Feng almost wanted to slap himself. This is placed on the top of the mountain, so people driving by below can��t see it! Finally, together with Wang Leyi, they took two pumpkin heads, a rope and a sharp knife, and went to the roadside at the foot of the mountain, pierced a few holes in the pumpkin, passed the string through it, and hung it under the wooden sign of the winery.


    "Is it strong enough?" Wang Le turned around and asked after setting it up.


    An Feng looked at it: "It''s ok, I''ll definitely see it when I drive over!"


    "OK, call it a day!" After the two of them finished, they walked up the mountain and had dinner first. It''s impossible for a brat to come and make trouble without eating dinner.


    After dinner, the four of them went to change props to prepare for Halloween.

 Chapter 315： 3D printing

    Chapter 315 Stereoscopic printing


    It was a bit too much to play this night, and the role-playing was too deep... But it was rare for her to take the initiative to perform another style, and An Feng, who was handcuffed, cooperated silently, and did not fall asleep exhausted until the early morning. On the second day, he was determined not to get up after three poles. An Feng rubbed his temples and almost couldn''t stand it.


    Joanna laughed softly when she saw him rubbing his head.


    An Feng turned his head, lifted the blanket and got in, climbed on top of her, and threatened, "How dare you laugh!"


    "Stop!" She pressed his head, "It''s late enough, if you don''t want to wake up in the afternoon!"


    "There''s nothing else to do anyway!" An Feng sat up and looked at her naked body, "It''s so perfect! Can I show you an art photo?"


    "There are still guests at home!" Joanna put her arms in front of her chest.


    "Don''t mention this matter, I guarantee that they didn''t get up, maybe there are some more restricted ones!" An Feng speculated maliciously.


    "Impure thoughts!" She pointed to her head.


    "I confess to what I committed! Police officer!" An Feng shot back with a smile.


    "Bold! Don''t mention it again!" Joanna started a fight with him, and showed the handcuffs she used to force An Feng to be "M" last night.


    "It seems that you have great potential, Your Lady Queen." An Feng picked up the handcuffs.


    "As you said, my favorite!" She said with a sullen expression, "Now, pick me up, I want to go to the bathroom!"


    "Obey!" An Feng threw away the handcuffs, picked her up by the waist, and went to the bathroom.


    After washing up, I came out almost in the afternoon.


    Wang Le and Lisa also woke up quite late, both of them had dark circles under their eyes, which made An Feng very happy. Wang Le did not refute. After lunch, they left. Wang Le said: "See you at the shooting exhibition. I will go back to China after a while, and then I will bring you a few local tyrants to join me!"


    "Go all the way." An Feng gave him a high five.


    "Fuck!" Wang Le beckoned to the Porsche at the door and drove away.


    The last two guests left, and the vineyard became quiet again. On weekdays, she has nothing to do but go to practice equestrianism. After this appearance in the arena, Angelina''s value has increased by five times. As a 6-year-old horse, there is still a lot of room for appreciation, as long as the performance in the arena is good enough.


    Like the Hannover horse "Gina" that Joanna is currently focusing on training, its purchase price is 350,000 US dollars, which seems to be a bit far from the top international equestrian horses, but it is only four years old, and top horses are generally over ten years old , These six years are an opportunity to enhance value.


    As long as the riders are skilled, the training methods are scientific, the horses have good genes, and they are smart enough, it is not too difficult to raise $1 million. If you ride it to win a few international races, two or three million will be fine. Auctioning it to a local tycoon in the Middle East may win a higher bid.


    An Feng also found a warm-blooded horse for training. He is not as enthusiastic as Joanna. Riding a horse is just for recreation and relaxation. He is even considering taking a shortcut: genetic modification. If it can memorize complex commands more than a dozen times, it is simply a hang in the dressage competition.


    The equestrian training has been transferred to the Blue Sky Racecourse. The 150 acres of idle land of the winery is being transformed to meet the style of top wineries. There are gardens and grasslands and cultural display areas... In short, it is high-end, and there is a leisure area for the owner and friends of the winery. Leisure use.


    In addition, the event planning for the racecourse has already come out, including hot-blooded horses, professional jockeys, funds for the racecourse, and various complicated gaming operation procedures... Hansen and his assistant are responsible for handling it, and it is expected to start next year. Horse racing activities will be held for three days on June and June.


    A few days later, An Feng received a report that a sample of Ans Industry''s 3D printer came out.


    After waiting for so long, he finally had something to do, so he brought his bodyguards and pilots and came to the company in 40 minutes. In the research and development area, I saw a 3D printer that claims to be able to print a variety of metals and composite materials. The technology is very advanced-the technology that is burned with money is naturally advanced.


    The current difficulty of 3D printing is strength. It can print plastic or metal, but the strength is not enough. Now the printer has changed this dilemma, simulating the formation conditions of steelmaking or other alloys, accurate to the pressure and temperature, and turning it into a small smelting center.


    The person in charge of the project is named Francis Rich, who was recommended by Freeman��An Feng��s inner reaction at the beginning was "Do you have friends too?"... After personally receiving Rich, I found that the ancients�� summary of "smells like each other" is really reasonable, Rich is also a tech nerd.


    This guy is said to have a Ph.D. at a young age, and he skipped school. Anyway, he saw that the robot company has a future, and Anshi Industrial is recruiting people. Here are the funds he needs, the correct theory and direction, and a good environment. You don''t need to order takeaway, you will be recruited successfully.


    The only difference is that this person''s communication skills are not bad.


    Rich''s unwashed hair looks waxed, but he doesn''t care: "Look over here, sir, it''s our latest achievement!"


    The one in front of An Feng is not outstanding. It is a mediocre machine like an ugly duckling, and it is similar in size to the 3D printers on the market.


    Rich said proudly: "It can print a model up to 30cm��30cm��30cm. The most notable point is that it solves the problem of hardness of the material. The three-dimensional printing on the market can only be used as a model to a large extent. Sintering a plastic model is naturally simple, but it is particularly difficult to print a high-hardness drill bit. After we used the laminar arc plasma beam, we made a breakthrough!"


    According to the technical house, the printer currently uses eight sets of printing nozzles. Different nozzles can use different metal materials, and use plasma beams for metal sintering. It can generate temperatures ranging from 200-15,000 degrees, and has higher resolution. Excellent hardness.


    But blowing 10,000 times is not enough to directly dry the effect and intuitively.


    An Feng understands the principle better than anyone else, so he asked, "What about the actual effect?"


    Rich liked this kind of refreshment. With a wave of his hand, the assistants called up the CAD model of the electric drill bit stored in the computer, connected the printer, started the machine, and sharpened the knife to the pigs and sheep. During the waiting time, An Feng went to discuss some details with Rich, such as the cost?


    "Six million dollars to develop it so far." Rich wrote lightly.


    It seems that this guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp. An Feng looked at the list of materials, and all of them chose the best ones, such as a part that can be produced in the United States. In pursuit of perfection, they went to foreign countries to customize it... It can be said that the machine is indeed made of money.


    But it is a kind of breakthrough to be able to burn as much as it is worth.


    After more than an hour, the drill bit was finished, and Rich, who was wearing gloves, took out a drill bit that had just cooled down. An hour ago, it was just a pile of iron powder, tungsten powder, and carbide raw materials, but after being fired by plasma, it became the hard drill bit of a drilling machine.


    The way to test the results is also extremely simple and crude - use an electric drill to test.


    The assistant installed the drill bit without saying a word, and made a few holes in the concrete wall for testing. The dust was flying, and the effect was just right. The hardness of the 3D-printed drill bit was already comparable to that of traditional manufacturing methods. This leads to a breakthrough. The concept of the era: high-strength metal printing.


    Even the printer can handle something as difficult as a drill bit, but what about other more precise parts? It must not be difficult, such as car engine parts? Need an integrally subtractively manufactured part? Or firearms, etc. with the 3D printing boom, is there a problem?


    Rich''s answer is no.


    He said: "Sir, if you have time to wait, we can scan and print a pistol and have it tested by a professional tester."


    An Feng was very interested: "You guys try it!"


    "No problem!" Rich said. "We have to find a gun. Somebody go to the gun shop and see if they have any?"


    An Feng was speechless. This guy also had a misunderstanding about normal life. The San Jose area is the area with the strictest gun control. It is said that California is strict, but it is only when you come to San Jose that you know who is stricter. If a novice buys a gun, after waiting ten days, he will get the bad news of being rejected.


    "You can''t buy it." An Feng shook his head at them, "Let my bodyguard come."


    Neil came to An Feng in three steps and two steps, An Feng said: "Borrow your pistol."


    Without any hesitation, Neil took out a Czech CZ75 pistol from the holster in his suit, turned the handle and aimed it at An Feng, took the heavy gun, unloaded the magazine skillfully, checked the chamber to make sure there were no bullets Finally, hand the pistol to Rich''s assistants, who are going to scan it.


    An Feng reminded again: "Are you sure that the overall scan can take into account the parts inside?"


    "Can''t it?" Rich didn''t know either.


    An Feng paused, walked over with a blank expression, and personally disassembled the pistol into parts, leaving the barrel, firing pin, firing pin spring, recoil spring, recoil spring guide and other key parts to them. In fact, whether the 3D printing pistol can be successful depends on the forging level of the barrel.


    "You scan these, build models, and print them out!" An Feng ordered.


    Rich nodded: "Please wait."


    This is not a wait, from scanning to printing out, at least three or four hours, An Feng went to the sixth floor to drink a cup of tea, eat some snacks, hang out, go to the marketing department to chat with Daisy, Say hello to other MMs she hasn''t seen before, and finally turn back.


    The work is almost done. After the parts are printed, An Feng installs these printed parts on the original pistol, fills the magazine, and finds a laboratory with good sound insulation. When he raised the pistol, Neil Reminding: "Sir, the barrel of this product has a high rate of explosion."


    "Then you come." An Feng turned to him.


    Neil was speechless... An Feng smiled: "Just kidding you!"


    He raised his hand towards the target and squeezed the trigger. He blew out the bullets with a dozen bangs, and blew on the smoking barrel like a cowboy in the west. , he knew that there would be no problem with the process of printing the barrel, unless there was a problem with the model.


    Looking at it now, the performance is very good, and he let other bodyguards test. Their guns feel good, and they are all fed by bullets. You can know the quality, accuracy, etc. of a random gun with dozens of bullets... In the end, Neil��s conclusion is that it feels the same as the original one.


    "It may take thousands of rounds to wear down the life of the barrel before we can judge whether the accuracy is good or not." Neil said conservatively.


    An Feng knew the technology was successful. He can now spend tens of millions to create a larger 3D printer that can print cars, and then create high-precision parts, robots, or other things that are difficult to do in the traditional subtractive manufacturing field in batches.

 Chapter 316： Throwing money

    Chapter 316 Throwing Money


    The core technology of the three-dimensional printer meets the requirements of Anfeng.


    According to the latest results of research and development, the printing of metals mostly uses plasma beams for sintering, and the environment as low as 200 degrees and as high as 10,000 to 20,000 degrees is enough to process most materials. It is also capable of smelting mixed materials, raising the printer''s manufacturing capabilities to a higher level.


    Speculate the future with samples. If you are willing to spend money, it can reach the same level as modern precision CNC machine tools, or even better. For example, in terms of precise manufacturing, instead of the plasma beam, the precision of the laser beam can reach the nanometer level. But the difficulty is lasers and energy.


    In fact, as long as you have money, you can get good lasers, but energy is a problem. Condensing high-energy lasers requires huge instantaneous energy. Full discharge within one second.


    The original capacitor technology was not developed enough, but GP Energy has met the conditions. Technology promotes each other. Every field is condensed with the crystallization of wisdom from other industries. It is impossible to go in one direction. This is the original intention of Anfeng to get involved in industrial research and development.


    There is only one fly in the ointment: cost.


    Its cost must be very high. It took several million to develop this small thing. It is not surprising that a large-scale 3D printer that meets Anfeng��s requirements costs hundreds of millions, and the materials needed are not cheap. Taken together, this will be a complete money-burning game when other areas are sluggish.


    This is why An Feng needs money. In the next few days, he personally tested the samples and verified that the core technology was already very advanced. Then he turned to work on the sintering of mixed materials, high precision, and high resolution. After these three aspects were improved, he began to manufacture large-scale machines.


    Mixed materials require more than a dozen materials to be used at the same time, and the accuracy is required to be accurate to the nanometer level. The accuracy of the laser is preferably within 10 nanometers; the resolution affects the appearance of the printed product, and the low PPI will reduce the image restoration degree, which does not meet the requirements. Requirements for shape.


    After calculating the cost, it is not difficult to manufacture a super-large machine, but at least 50 million U.S. dollars must be spent on it, nearly 100 million more. The cost of use is also extremely high. Currently, it can only be used exclusively. No one can afford it in mass production, and if they can afford it, they don''t know how to use it.


    An Feng prepared 100 million US dollars for the project, after all, it is a business.


    ��


    There is another exciting news in the middle of the month. The high-temperature superconductor developed by the company has made a breakthrough. In the end, the supercomputer is powerful. As long as there are model equations, it can select the ones that best meet the requirements from hundreds of millions of possibilities, and then Tested one by one, finally succeeded.


    Technical team raised the critical temperature of superconductivity to 258.15K, which is minus 15 degrees Celsius! Proper high-temperature superconductivity, and a little more breakthrough, it will be able to achieve room temperature superconductivity. But this seems to be the limit of the material, unless other materials are used.


    Practical superconductors have a wide range of uses. It can be used as a generator. Due to zero resistance and strong magnetism, its power generation is ten times higher than that of ordinary generators, but its volume and weight are reduced to half; it can also be used as a magnetic fluid propeller. Let the speed of the submarine exceed the current five times.


    It can also be used as a superconducting wire, saving the earth at least one trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity every year; there are also quantum computers, which need superconducting technology; and future clean energy: nuclear fusion, which uses the strong magnetic field generated by superconductors to convert hundreds of millions of The high-temperature plasma realizes non-contact wrapping and artificial nuclear fusion.


    It can be said that high-temperature superconductivity will be another "graphene empire".


    An Feng was discussing with the technical team, and the joy of victory filled the entire office. An Feng took a fancy to the benefits and technology it could bring, and the technicians looked forward to the coming fame and Nobel Prize, but there was one thing that no one could ignore: the quantity production method. This is the key to controlling costs.


    Although there are many materials, but the manufacturing cost is high, it is impossible to achieve low-cost mass production, let alone the popularization of superconducting technology. After the samples came out, they had to consider what kind of smelting method to use to realize the mass production of superconductors on the assembly line. Experts are not very good at this.


    The good news is that An Feng has a solution, but he doesn''t say it. Because the manufacturing method is easy to be imitated, and applying for a patent is a self-inflicted trap. He starts from the perspective of profit, so he has to complicate the process and reduce costs, but it also makes it impossible for competitors to catch up within ten years.


    ��


    An Feng did not provide the method to the technical team in the end.


    He is considering setting up another company, the manufacturing will be on the company, the required machinery will be produced from Anshi Industries, and the core components will remain confidential. A virtuous circle can only be formed with multiple restraints, and the protection of secrets can be maximized, so that even if there is a way to imitate, there is no way to start.


    In the past, he would not have made it so complicated, but the more people and things he came into contact with, the more people have more worries. It can also be said that he has become an old fox. He used to trust his employees unconditionally, but now he understands that there is a limit to trust.


    As for the technical team that researches and develops superconductors, being able to win the Nobel Prize, coupled with the rewards from the company, is enough for them to have no worries for a lifetime. Such a big piece of cake is all on them. Who should An Feng turn to for his loss?


    Eventually he decided to set up a new business called "Superconductor Corporation."


    Handed over the matter of bidding for the company to the assistant John, his reply came back quickly: "Sorry sir, the name of the company has already been registered."


    "Is someone registered?" An Feng wondered, but it''s right to think about it. Such a catchy name will definitely be preempted by someone. Could it be possible to go to another country to register?


    However, to avoid registration loopholes, there will be lawsuits and disputes in the future. Even if there are no disputes, it will secretly form a brand that can copy itself, which is very unwise. An Feng likes the name of the image, and it doesn''t feel so appropriate to change it to other names. Finally John offered a solution.


    "Sir, you can buy that company." John gave an answer that fit An Feng''s personality.


    "Company information?" An Feng asked.


    "Send it to you right away!" John launched the company information, and An Feng opened it to check.


    This superconductor company in the United States is naturally engaged in the superconductor field, but the scale is not very large. An ordinary non-listed company has a turnover of nearly 10 million. It has made some small progress in superconductors, but it is absolutely sorry for its "superconductor company" name.


    After reading the information, An Feng felt that the other party had ruined his name and occupied the latrine without shitting.


    Finally, he said to John: "Go and discuss with the person in charge of the company. I have full power to buy this company and see how much they want."


    "I''ll arrange it right away." John said, he also has an assistant now, and the assistant usually does small things, and he needs to get on the horse for critical occasions. Being a private team of the super rich has this kind of perk, less work, more pay, but variable hours.


    But under the impact of high salaries, working hours can actually be ignored. Although Americans pursue personal freedom, only fools will struggle with money. John has done a lot of preparatory work in a hurry. Naturally, the negotiation must be familiar with the other party''s cards to achieve the best results.


    A day later, John has the information he needs.


    In fact, there are employment agencies doing this. To put it bluntly, they are legal commercial espionage. John looked at the company''s shareholder composition. There were more than a dozen shareholders, and the largest accounted for 60% of the shares. According to the information, he was a white man in his forties, but he had no professional knowledge.


    In other words, this is very likely a risky investment. Considering the US companies engaged in the superconductor industry, the name of the company must have been targeted by many people, but none of them changed hands, which proves that this person has a lot of appetite, and I am afraid that it will take a certain price to buy it.


    After considering the company��s situation, the assets are about 13 million US dollars, but there are a lot of liabilities, and the net assets are only about 6 million US dollars. The psychological price given by John is 12 million. But it is estimated that the transaction price will be higher. After all, there are data showing that although the boss is not rich, he is not short of money.


    John negotiated with the other party, but he did not say that he would not consider selling.


    But in terms of price, this person just opened his mouth and reported 20 million. John resolutely refused to talk to him. Even a company with a mediocre business and a net profit margin of less than 5% dare to open his mouth? This guy may have decided their demand for the company''s name, so he dared to pull it like this.


    An Feng was also very speechless when he heard the quotation, and he wouldn��t make himself a fool by throwing money at him! Finally, use the relationship of friends from all parties, consider Bai first, see if anyone knows him, say a few words from it, and if it doesn��t work, come to the black, give him a warning, and still not back down?


    An Feng''s network came in handy, and some friends really knew him.


    Finally, they negotiated, and after clarifying the stakes, they indicated that if you don��t sell it now, if you want to sell it in the future, it won��t be worth the money. After the other party learned of An Feng''s background, he was finally willing to be smashed to death by cash. An Feng paid him eight million U.S. dollars, and the rest of the shareholders paid five million U.S. dollars.


    Taking this company down, and taking over some worthless business and debts, the outside world seems to be at a disadvantage, but An Feng is worth it for having a beautiful name in the future! The R&D and administrative departments of the company consider the principle of proximity and are set up in California, but the factory has to be carefully considered.


    The factory is the key to production, and the environment, transportation, and distribution of surrounding resources must be considered. California is not suitable. Although the southern industrial areas headed by Texas are fine, they are hot in summer and are not suitable for superconductors. The rest of the northeastern United States is an option, or continue north.


    The factory does not have to be in the United States. It can go to Canada, but there will be some more taxes... But he finally thought that these are not what he needs to consider. All he needs to do is provide confidential technology, choose partners, raise funds, and finally enjoy profits.

 Chapter 317： Consider spending money [three more]

    Chapter 317 Considering spending money


    An Feng took his assistant to several places in California. He originally wanted to find an office building for a "superconductor company", but he didn''t like it. He chose Los Angeles, where the environment is not very good. Silicon Valley is not bad, but safety must also be considered. Guaranteed...but in the end he nailed it.


    In the Anshi Industrial Building, anyway, the company has just started with a small scale, so the building on the right, the fifth to sixth floors, is reserved as the office location of the superconductor company. For a new business, these two floors are definitely enough. In addition, the degree of security and confidentiality also meets Anfeng''s requirements.


    If you think about it for a long time, the superconductor company will naturally not be associated with An''s Industry. An Feng regards it as a money-making machine, and the scale will be very large in the future. Time exclusive floor is king.


    After the arrangements were made, An Feng flew to Los Angeles the next day.


    Regarding the plan of Beta Company next year, a board meeting needs to be held... There are many directors, but there are only three shareholders, An Feng is the largest, the Blue Lane family has 20%, and the Sinclair family also has 10%. But these are temporary, and the consortium will inject funds to adjust in the future.


    Maybe after the listing, the proportion of individual holdings will be reduced to less than 5%. Throughout the international super companies, the proportion of personal holdings is not too high, but no one knows who is behind those vests... An Feng focuses on tasting new products and giving opinions as a boss.


    High-end bio-drinks are selling well��it should be hot. The number of orders counted every month has doubled. In less than a year, it has captured a large number of fans and swept the rich and entertainment circles. Everyone who pursues fashion enjoyment flocks to it.


    After all, it is not just a drink, it is still a biological drug that can improve the human body. It cannot feel the effect in the short term, but after using it for a few months, the whole person is radiant and full of energy. Naturally, I know that what Bi Da said is true, or that it is research. The center is as strong as ever.


    Under such a hot scene, the company seized the time to expand and strive to launch two low-end and mid-end products next year to adapt to different consumption levels and expand the company''s profit range. At present, two drinks to be released are placed in front of shareholders, and they try them one by one.


    Taste... To be honest, it is the same as the original drink. It is mainly about efficacy rather than taste. An Feng made an opinion on this: "You can add a little more flavor. If you keep the same taste as high-end products, it will make high-end consumers feel uncomfortable. worth it."


    Anthony nodded: "That''s true."


    "I don''t have any opinions on the rest, the core competitiveness lies there." An Feng said with a smile, "I wish next year''s press conference a success!"


    After discussing the company''s business situation, An Feng secretly dozed off for a while, and by the time the meeting was over, his eyes hadn''t blinked. John looked at the boss who was sleeping with his eyes open, and touched him with his elbow, reminding him in a low voice, "Sir, the meeting is about to end."


    "Very good!" An Feng nodded calmly, without the slightest awareness of being distracted and dozing off just now.


    After the meeting ended, An Feng was about to leave when he was stopped by Anthony and Matthew.


    "What should I say in private?" An Feng sat back in his seat.


    "I heard that you bought a company at a high price? Are you engaged in the superconductor industry?" Matthew looked at him fiercely, as if there was no secret he didn''t know.


    An Feng said: "It was done recently, are you interested?"


    Matthew said: "I care about the extent to which superconductors are developed."


    An Feng said bluntly: "It is so outstanding that it might win a Nobel Prize. I am afraid that another high-tech will soon bloom everywhere."


    Matthew admired: "I don''t know how to describe you anymore."


    Anthony feels the same way. An Feng is always good at making miracles, which makes people numb.


    "I confess that this time it really has nothing to do with me." An Feng said seriously, "The technology of superconductors was unintentionally developed, and all the credit goes to the research and development team. And it is only made out, and whether it can be mass-produced is still a huge test , and the requirements for funds are also very high.��


    "We can venture capital." Anthony said.


    An Feng nodded: "I know, but wait a moment, there are too many things at present, in short, as long as you support me, the benefits will be indispensable to everyone."


    This is a reassurance, but with An Feng''s character, he didn''t intend to monopolize it. The influence of superconductors is no less than that of graphene. The sub-scope is narrowed to within the consortium.


    Anyway, it is to strengthen the strength of the group. At present, this group is still good, with abilities and potentials. Everyone is already on the same boat. As the leader of the group, An Feng probably won''t be able to get rid of this heavy identity for the rest of his life. In the words of Jianghu: there are still a group of brothers waiting to eat.


    After the discussion is over, the meeting adjourns.


    Following John, I also have something to discuss with him, An Feng just moved his buttocks and sat down again: "Why did things happen all at once?"


    John smiled: "Sir, I must remind you that there are still forty-five days until the end of December, and according to accounting statistics, the amount of tax you can deduct this year is not yet full. You must pay the deduction After tax, there is a lot of disposable funds left, and considering the instability of the US dollar exchange rate, it is better to invest it, because your income next year will be more.��


    "That''s true." An Feng nodded, the patented drug licensing fee alone was more than five billion yuan, and some previous wages and so on. Every time the new year comes, he has a headache about how to spend his money. He may not be the richest in the world, but he is definitely the best spender.


    An Feng asked again: "Is there any other projects that my company can invest in?"


    John tapped his portable tablet a few times, then shook his head: "Most projects have sufficient funds, and further investment will only cause cash accumulation. If it cannot be circulated, it is better to leave it to your own disposal. In addition, there are too many funds, and there is no There will be some corruption.��


    "Thank you for your reminder." An Feng nodded, "Is the team''s operation still normal recently?"


    John said, "I fired two financial analysts for their unethical work ethic and the possibility of leaking private information about you. Other than that, everything is fine."


    "Well done!" An Feng was very satisfied.


    The customization team spends several million a year. As a think tank, just like a national think tank, it is definitely worth it. Moreover, John has established a mutual supervision mechanism, which can also prevent some hidden dangers that may leak the boss��s secrets. Just because of his cleverness, he has received hundreds of thousands of rewards from An Feng.


    Such a good treatment, but now John will betray him, and he will not do it��it can be said that he is one of the few people who are familiar with An Feng''s details except for the consortium partners. He knows very well that if he wants to betray An Feng, the consequence is not to face a people, but a whole pissed-off consortium.


    ��


    Bid farewell to John and go home, An Feng thinks about spending money.


    Joanna, who had just finished exercising, came in front of him with a navel-baring vest, cotton hot pants, and big white legs dangling. She was about to sit on his lap.


    "It''s hot and sweaty!" An Feng said.


    "Is this disgusting?" She frowned and was about to get up.


    "Haha, you know I''m joking!" An Feng put his arms around her and said with a smile, "I like sports women, even sweat is sexy!"


    "Disgusting!" She was still not satisfied.


    "You forced me to say that, do you want me to lick you again?" An Feng said.


    "Stop!" She pressed An Feng''s mouth, "forgive you for now!"


    "Can forgiveness be calculated in installments?" An Feng was surprised.


    "That''s right! I want you to surrender tonight!" She said, pointing at An Feng''s nose.


    "Hmm! It''s best to use the muscles below to make me cry!" An Feng said seriously, but his hand was dishonestly pinching her buttocks.


    "No dirty jokes!" she said.


    "What about that night?" He laughed.


    "Stop!" Joanna pinched him decisively, "What were you in a daze just now?"


    An Feng said frankly: "I''m just thinking about how to spend money?"


    Joanna chuckled and pinched his face, feeling that he always had a lot of strange ideas.


    An Feng vowed: "I mean it, John has sorted out the personal income and expenditure details for me. There is still a lot of money that can be used this year, and it may depreciate if I keep it."


    "Have you thought about it?" Joanna asked.


    "No, what about you? Do you want to buy some tens of millions of horses?" An Feng asked.


    Joanna shook her head: "No need, I like the good horse I trained, and Gina is doing very well, she is as smart as Angelina."


    "You''re really persistent." An Feng shrugged, "The company currently doesn''t have any projects to invest in, so I guess I have to spend part of it on my own."


    "Then fulfill your collection dream?" she said.


    "This one is rare." An Feng shook his head, inspired: "You can replace our yacht! Don''t you think the current one is a bit small?"


    "It''s a little bit, but it''s just right to drive by yourself." She said.


    "You have to think in the long run. As the owner of a Premier League team, you must have a good sea car. The current one is still a bit small."


    ��Then custom a superyacht?�� Joanna said.


    "One or two..." An Feng said, picking up his phone, "Didn''t riva launch a new 122-foot flagship? A 38-meter-long yacht built with the most exquisite craftsmanship. I have seen flagship-level craftsmanship. Rolls-Royce at sea pursues top-level design in all aspects.��


    Joanna looked at the pictures on the Internet, and she also likes a lot of wood decorations, with a noble and elegant design. The point is that as a customized yacht, customers can freely choose most of the decoration content, and strive to see what they like, and don''t need to consider the price.


    An Feng liked its customized content. Referring to the prices of other customers, the price is estimated to be around 15 million US dollars, which is not too high. Compared with those privately ordered yachts with hundreds of meters Empty, more like a cruise ship��whose ship is the largest? The world''s largest cruise ship has completed sea trials and will be delivered in ten days. No one has ever won a Liverpool boss than the biggest.


    The one within 40 meters is suitable. It has three to four rooms, as well as a spacious upper plywood living room and a comfortable sunny plywood. It is suitable for going out with three or five friends, sharing intimacy and warmth, and having enough confidentiality. With the right length and volume, it can be parked at the door of the house.


    After discussing with Joanna, An Feng and Joanna decided to change to a more luxurious yacht, without considering anything else. There is currently a lot of free time, so I make an appointment for riva''s service. In addition, the delivery of the super cruise ship was imminent, and sooner or later he had to go to Europe, so he called his assistant Jim who was working in Florida to set off together.

 Chapter 318： buy island

    Chapter 318 Buying an Island


    The ordering procedure for super yachts is complicated. In order to let buyers understand every detail deeply, the seller naturally recommends them to be present in person. Considering that the cruise ship has also completed its trial voyage and the delivery is imminent, An Feng took Jim from Ocean Shipping and set off to handle business and personal affairs together.


    The plane first landed in Rome.


    There is no domestic transfer procedure for private jets, so you have to change to a civilian flight and go to Genoa, a seaport city in northern Italy. It is the largest commercial port and an important industrial center in Italy. Since Riva was acquired by the yacht manufacturer Faraday Group, this place has become Yachting area.


    Genoa has a population of more than 700,000, which is not small by European standards. It is surrounded by continuous mountains and fields. Because it is difficult to open up mountains and build an airport, the Italians finally built the airport by the sea. When the plane lands, it is surrounded by the sea on three sides. , especially challenging the psychological quality.


    Genea is a standard mountain city, the area near the sea is a bit poor flat land, and many buildings are built on the mountainside. On the way out of the airport, one side of the view is a busy harbor, where super cruise ships and countless yachts are moored. The sea water is not as black as ordinary ports, but quite blue.


    At the airport, I encountered a sign waiting for their interpreter. Genoa is not a popular tourist city, so speaking English may not be easy, and I need the help of a local interpreter. The translator is very enthusiastic. Of course, you get what you pay for, and An Feng will not be stingy in exchange for low-level services.


    I don��t need a taxi when I go out, and I was directly taken by the translator to a hatchback version of the Audi A6 that he drove. Threatened by rising oil prices, Audi has launched many hybrid models, but recently I am afraid that they will phase out the hybrid and start to change to pure electric Yes, after all, GP''s technology is too heaven-defying.


    Get on the bus and go to the local hotel. There is nothing to see in the densely populated area of ??the city center. I decided to live in a hotel halfway up the mountain. You can have a panoramic view of the magnificent bay, and the air is very good. After the translator sent them to the hotel, they agreed to meet the next day time, and then say goodbye.


    We were tired after flying for a whole day, so we went back to our rooms to beat the jet lag.


    The next morning, I brushed my teeth lazily and washed up, and then had breakfast. Ten minutes later than the agreed time, the interpreter finally arrived.


    An Feng said with a smile: "It''s better than what we met before. I guess the account manager who made an appointment with us is still sleeping late at home!"


    Joanna laughed too.


    But An Feng guessed wrong this time. The account manager was on time. When they arrived, the manager had already reviewed the client''s information and simple requirements. Both parties meet in the office and shake hands. The manager can speak some English, but he is not proficient, so he still has to translate it himself.


    Basically discussing about the 122'' Mythos, the manager gave them a thick picture book with various optional decorations, and other customers'' designs on the computer, with the help of translators , refine every detail.


    Yachts are not small, and many details are considered. Although the Italians are lazy, they work meticulously and pursue perfection in every detail, so there are many young artists. In addition, they have a strong concept of not working after get off work, and they don''t mention other things when they have dinner.


    An Feng and Joanna can only do as the Romans do, go to a restaurant to eat authentic Italian food, and then let the translator drive them to travel to the local area to experience some local customs. Since the translator is not from Genoa, the introduction is very vivid, and the most classic one is "stingy".


    The translator said: "If you want to learn how to save money, the Italians will definitely recommend Genoa. They are famous for being "stingy". They can spend their money in half! Say to him: ''How do you look like a Genoese.''."


    An Feng said in surprise: "Really?"


    "Of course." The translator said with certainty.


    The translator went on to say that some Genoese people "drink water to satisfy their hunger if they can''t eat enough", "it doesn''t matter if they wear a little at home" and other allusions. In fact, it is not that they are poor, but that they are stingy by nature. They live in a house of three to four hundred square meters. There are many antiques in the house, but they still take pride in saving money!


    After feeling the power of the local people, turn around and come back. When it��s time to work, continue to talk about things. The content of the yacht selection is basically selected. In order to pursue maximum comfort and consider that they do not necessarily live on the yacht, there are only three rooms.


    The design of the other decks leans toward luxury, with clean, clean lines in every detail, creating a style of timeless, supremely natural elegance. Of course, this is also the soul of riva yachts, the two sides negotiated very smoothly, and the final contract price was 15.5 million US dollars.


    Due to the close of get off work, the contract needs to be signed the next day.


    An Feng and Joanna spent another night in the local area, and received a notice from Finland that night, saying that they could send someone to check the details, and the maiden voyage could be officially launched in about six days. An Feng arranged for Jim to go to Finland the next day, and they set off the day before the voyage.


    The next day, he took the hired lawyer with him, checked the contract documents, An Feng signed his name on it, and paid 10% of the fee first, and finally it took 15 months to manufacture, that is, one year and three months. After signing the contract, the two parties shook hands and drank champagne to celebrate, and then went their separate ways.


    Because they are going to Finland in a few days, An Feng and Joanna have no plans to return to the United States. They will not mention the cost of the round trip by private jet. An Feng doesn''t care, but frequent jet lag is not good for health. Especially for women, Joanna is afraid of abnormal physiological sleep and dark circles under her eyes.


    They decided to play in the local area, and the translator took a part-time job as a tour guide. In fact, he was also very happy, because An Feng paid the translator''s money, and this job was five times higher than that of the guide. Care about the difference between five times more and five times less.


    The locals can give you a lot of good advice about traveling in Italy. Going north is naturally Venice and Milan, and going south is Sicily or the nearby Sardinia. The translator spoke highly of Sardinia, clean and fresh, and the region with the fewest thieves in Italy.


    An Feng said: "I like places with sunny beaches, it''s quiet and the temperature is right."


    "Sardinia is an excellent choice. European and American celebrities like to go there for vacation. The local residents have a very common attitude towards celebrities, because they have seen a lot of them, and there are even European royal families. Back then Princess Diana and her Lovers come here for vacation."


    After hearing the translator''s recommendation, An Feng became interested.


    The translator continued: "You can experience sunny beaches in the southern area, and there are private islands open in the north. You can even buy a private island."


    "Private island?" An Feng asked.


    "That''s right." Seeing that he was interested, the translator added a little more, "Since the government is heavily in debt, they sell buildings, palaces, beaches, islands and forts to private individuals in exchange for funds to repay the national debt. If you like the local environment If so, it is allowed to buy."


    "Can it be developed freely or can only use the original buildings on the island?" An Feng asked. Some islands are sold in name, but in fact you can''t move the plants and trees on the island, and you have to ask the government to expand the houses. Applying, it doesn''t make much sense to buy this kind of island.


    "Of course it can be developed freely!" said the translator. "A few years ago, the government almost wanted to sell Sardinia to Switzerland, let alone these small islands!"


    "What''s going on, tell me about it?" An Feng was very interested.


    The translator said that the Italian government is terrible, just like their laziness. The financial crisis a few years ago made them owe up to two trillion euros in national debt! The operation of the government is difficult. Since 2010, there have been strange things such as the sale of buildings, palaces, and islands.


    The Sardinians declared on the Internet that they are willing to "be sold collectively", because the Swiss government is interested in Sardinia and wants to add an overseas state, and the locals are eager for Switzerland''s top benefits, so one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. It''s a pity that after the incident was reported, it has not been settled until now.


    An Feng was speechless. There really is such a "flexible" government! According to the interpreter, the country''s economy has been sluggish recently, and the debts are high. Officials are considering finding uninhabited islands and preparing to sell them to rich people. An Feng came at the right time, as there were islands for sale in the north of Sardinia.


    An Feng looked at Joanna: "Shall we go and see?"


    Joanna agreed, owning a private island sounds like a beautiful thing.


    They made an appointment with the local government, and the sale of the island was a government action. They got an affirmative answer, and they set off by plane the next day. Bringing an interpreter, after meeting with two officials, I decided to take a look at the scene. They set off on a 15-seat AW139 helicopter made in Italy.


    The destination is very close to Sardinia, no more than five kilometers away, surrounded by more than a dozen large and small islands, the sea is as clear as the sky, and there are yachts sailing everywhere. According to the translation, most of the islands are for sale, and some have been sold for private use.


    Some of them were bought by travel companies and transformed into exclusive tourist attractions. This neighborhood is very popular, and there are a lot of tourists, so you won''t feel bored if you stay here. Government representatives recommended several islands, some big and some small, the small ones were only about 400 meters long and wide, and only a little over 10 million.


    The larger ones are two to three kilometers long, and the price is hundreds of millions. I watched several islands in Anfeng one by one. Although the small islands are cheap, the conditions on the islands are not very good. They are bare, there is not much vegetation, and there are mostly hillsides and rocks. The coast is good, but unfortunately it cannot make up for the whole.


    Exclude small islands with poor conditions and go to see larger ones.


    The translator said: "They asked what kind of island environment do you like?"


    An Feng communicated with Joanna and said: "It is best to have plains and green plants, and then a natural harbor that can park yachts of a certain tonnage, and it would be even better if it can park cruise ships. In addition, there must be natural beaches, sea water And good enough ... that''s all."


    I thought it was difficult to find good conditions, but one of them pointed at the plane, and the plane arrived somewhere nearby.


    The translator is responsible for explaining: "This is Spragi Island, the longest point is 2.3 kilometers, and the widest is 2.1 kilometers. It is a prime location and meets your requirements."


    An Feng looked at the island below. There are indeed green plains and beautiful golden-white beaches. It is not far from Sardinia. The yacht can be done in ten minutes at full speed, and the helicopter can be done in two minutes. It looks really natural and livable. , even if you don��t live there, it��s not bad to develop it into a scenic spot.


    But the price is definitely not cheap. After An Feng asked, the translator replied: "They said it would cost 250 million U.S. dollars."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 319： The wildest idea!

    Chapter 319 The most wealthy idea!


    Spending 250 million US dollars to buy a small island, An Feng felt that the price was too high. He looked at the land below. Although the location is good, more than 200 million US dollars is enough to buy a top luxury house in the coastal areas of the United States. Better, the only thing is that there is no island owner''s happiness.


    Seeing An Feng��s hesitation, the government representative became angry, saying that the surrounding islands are constantly appreciating in value. If you buy it for 250 million today, you can sell it at a higher price after a few years. If it is transformed into a resort area, it will be rented out for tens of thousands per day, and it will be earned back in ten years...


    An Feng was speechless, whoever believes will be fooled! The location is good, but it is estimated that fresh water and power generation on this island are very difficult, and the cost of transporting materials to expand the island is also particularly high. As for buying and waiting for appreciation, there is little hope, the European economy has been sluggish.


    An Feng asked Joanna: "Do you like it?"


    "Good location, but too expensive?" she said. It''s one thing to like it, but the problem is that it''s not worth buying it once or twice a year at most.


    "Let''s go down and have a look first." An Feng said, he didn''t lack the money to buy the island, but he had to feel that it was worth the money, otherwise it would be boring to buy.


    "Okay." Joanna agreed.


    They circled above the island, found a very flat area to land, and looked at the footprints on the surrounding grass, they probably stopped like this usually. After getting off the plane, it was about a hundred meters away from the coast, and everyone walked there. Fortunately, Joanna was wearing flat shoes.


    The feeling of the field survey is very different from the aerial view. The observation of the vegetation in the air is not careful enough. On the ground, there are many shrubs, the land is a bit barren, and there are many gravels under the feet. The side close to the beautiful bay is mostly steep rock cliffs with a high drop About forty or fifty meters.


    A large amount of vegetation can grow, which proves that there is sufficient rainfall or sufficient groundwater. Referring to the shape of the island, there is a high possibility of groundwater. Walking along the way, An Feng had a preliminary understanding of the island''s environment. Not bad, but not as good as they say.


    Walking to the front of the silver sand beach, the water is clear and transparent, and a U-shaped bay area is formed here, a natural haven. There is a pier on the other side, which can dock two ships, but it is not too big. If you don��t continue to dig the depth If not, only ordinary yachts can be docked.


    They came to the beach, blowing the sea breeze and listening to the sound of the waves hitting the shore. If you build a house on the mountainside, you can wake up to the sound of the waves in the morning, open the window to see a blue sea and blue sky, the artistic conception is beautiful and intoxicating... But the price does not satisfy them.


    Go to visit other places, and then take a helicopter around the island for a week before returning to the local area.


    After discussing with Joanna, An Feng intends to buy it, but the price has to be lowered. 250 million is impossible. They will pay 200 million at most. The reason is that the problem of electricity and water resources cannot be solved on the island, but they avoid the problem of sufficient signal and advantage of traffic. That''s how business is done.


    The other party couldn��t accept it either. They admitted that it was too low, but when An Feng said that no matter how high it was, they were reluctant to let the client go. An Feng suddenly missed the days when he had an assistant, and he knew that Jim would stay.


    An Feng finally said: "The issue of price can be dealt with slowly. I don''t have much time, but I can ask my assistant to negotiate with you. What do you think?"


    They agreed.


    An Feng called Goodrich in England, the boss asked you to come to Italy for a business trip!


    Make it clear with him on the phone that the ideal price for negotiation is 200 million, and the maximum price cannot exceed 210 million, otherwise there is no need to trade. An Feng had to make himself feel valuable, so he would happily sign the contract. Besides, it is not Italy that sells islands in the world, there are a lot of Greece and South America.


    With the helper doing things, An Feng and Joanna returned to the essence of playing.


    The translator recommended that they go to the nearby La Maddalena Island for vacation. There are many tourists, and there are countless small islands around. Sardinia tourism is on the north and south sides, and this is the best place to go in the north.


    After An Feng and Joanna bought swimsuits, sunscreen, towels and sunglasses locally, they boarded a local cruise ship according to the route and set off with a group of tourists from all over the world. The interpreter stayed in the local area, and he had to wait for Goodrich to continue to act as an interpreter after he arrived.


    La Maddalena is very lively, a typical tourist city, and you can travel all over the two main islands by speaking English. The translator assured that this is the place with the best security in Italy, and there are almost no thieves, so you can play with confidence. Therefore, the mood also returns to nature, and after receiving the travel brochure at the hotel, travel freely.


    The island is not big, and there are many car rental centers that provide motorcycles and bicycles, but motorcycles need a license. An Feng and Joanna finally chose bicycles. In fact, it''s all the same. How many hours can it take to ride the five kilometers to the end of the island? Bike workouts are easy.


    Take a leisurely ride to see the scenery, stroll around and return to the urban area to taste local delicacies, special crispbread, seafood pasta, or try the spirits that the locals love to drink. The two walk shoulder to shoulder on the streets at night In the evening, unlike the deserted nights in Europe, the excitement here will last until eleven or twelve o''clock.


    The next day they plan to take a cruise ship to take a day trip around the island to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment of the island they want to buy.


    If the surrounding area is very good, the higher price is really acceptable.


    At ten o''clock in the morning, the cruise ship is fully loaded with guests and departs. The boat can accommodate about sixty or seventy people, and people can sit on the bow and the top of the boat. The tourists rushed to the bow and the top of the boat. An Feng and Joanna took the bow position. Looking back, the top of the boat was the most popular. The bold girls took off their coats to reveal their bikinis, lying on their backs. Above, the rickety boat did not affect their mood of playing.


    Traveling around the island is all scenic spots, passing through islands of different sizes, the sea is blue and the breeze is blowing. The captain sang while driving the boat. He was very happy and infected the tourists. When passing through a shallow water area, the boat stopped and lowered the aft stairs to let the tourists cool off in the water.


    Swim in the water for a while, take a rest on board, the chefs on board have already prepared lunch, there are not many choices of noodles, pasta is standard, and there is coffee after eating. Italians are used to coffee after meals, so they don''t feel uncomfortable, but An Feng and Joanna are very special.


    Continue to set off after a full meal, and take a kayak to land on the natural beach in the afternoon. The scenery is similar to that seen on the private island, silver, or golden white. The beach is not big, but it is more than enough to handle dozens of people. It is very comfortable to step on it. Once the beach blanket is spread, you can lie down all afternoon.


    On the way back, I can see the private island for sale, and there are other private islands around. There are many neighbors. Some islands have already built buildings. Rows of coconut trees are planted, which has a special holiday atmosphere.


    After the trip, the husband and wife both thought that the location of the private island was good, surrounded by scenic spots, and close to Sardinia, so they could go back and forth quickly for everything. As long as the price is within a reasonable range, they will buy it. Now it''s time to see the results of the negotiations between Goodrich and the other party.


    Two days later.


    Facts have proved that professionalism is extraordinary. Goodrich and one of his assistants conducted on-the-spot investigations and consulted online professionals to find out all the flaws, and skillfully avoided the advantages to negotiate with the other party. The core was finally negotiated at 200 million.


    This is good news, An Feng sat down with the other party''s representative again, discussing the details of the island purchase. Although it is said to be free development, there is a limit - it is certainly not possible to engage in private armies, develop weapons or drugs on it, in short, abide by Italian laws.


    An Feng had no objection to these.


    Then they can draft an agreement. The purchase of the island is a government action, and there are many procedures. It takes a day or two to wait. An Feng chats with them, discussing the maintenance method after purchasing the island, how to choose the island caretaker, and more about it later. Very strange "voluntarily sold" incident.


    The amazing thing is that the government officials who negotiate business with them are all agreeing to be sold. The reason is that the Italian government is corrupt, and Switzerland''s welfare is top in the world. Anyway, they have autonomy, and it doesn''t matter which country they mix with. And the Italian government is heavily in debt, they have been cut wages!


    An Feng smiled and asked, "How much money do you think is appropriate?"


    The other party replied: "This requires the calculation of the Ministry of Finance and the review of the parliament, but we have calculated it ourselves. It is between 400 billion and 700 billion US dollars. If it is less, it is not worth it. If it is more, no one will buy it. The ideal price is 500 billion US dollars." Hundreds of billions, the Swiss government had the ability to buy it back then.��


    An Feng suddenly thought: "What if it is a private act? Does it mean that there is a super rich man who wants to buy it?"


    The other party was very surprised and said: "We didn''t think about this, because it is an act of selling the country permanently, so we can only let the country accept it? And at a price of 500 billion, even the richest man in the world can''t buy one-fifth of all his property. A piece of land is still far away from buying it all!"


    "How big is this island?" An Feng asked.


    "The longest point is 260 kilometers, the widest point is 130 kilometers, the total area is 24,000 square kilometers, and the population is 1.8 million. Why, are you interested?"


    An Feng smiled and said, "Yes��if I have that much money!"


    "Hahaha! We support you! This is a great dream!" Everyone laughed, obviously taking what An Feng said as a joke.


    But this kind of idea, like the seed of ambition, is buried in An Feng''s heart. After waiting for a certain day to be watered by clear water, it will take root and sprout in the sunshine... At this moment, An Feng just regards it as the most tyrant''s fantasy, as a man who can do whatever he wants. The super big island owner must be cool enough!


    It is unlikely that he can buy one-tenth of Sardinia with all his net worth so far. Moreover, after purchasing the island, it will belong to an independent country��to run a country requires enormous financial resources and resources. No matter how local residents are willing to sell to private individuals!


    An Feng quickly forgot about it, and instead immersed himself in the joy of being the island owner.


    ======


    PS: Is buying a country considered a very rich thing?


    Reality is unrealistic, but novels are mainly entertainment and exaggeration. The only thing that fluctuates is the price of Sardinia. It has no specific reference. Take Switzerland as an example. In 2013, its foreign exchange reserves were 450 billion Swiss francs and its GDP was just over 650 billion US dollars. According to the calculation of purchasing power, Sardinia does not exceed 500 billion US dollars. Considering that Sardinia only has tourism resources and not rich in natural resources, half of the discount is possible.


    Calculations are very difficult, and Google can��t use it... If anyone knows more about it, or has any ideas about buying islands, you can ask them in the book review area. long term effective.


    It may or may not be a later episode.

 Chapter 320： Empty maiden voyage

    Chapter 320 Empty maiden voyage


    The procedures for becoming an island owner will take some time. The speed of this depends on the local government, but as long as An Feng is willing to pay, the procedures will be completed sooner or later. During this time, he will continue to inspect his island, The land of nearly 4.5 square kilometers is very powerful.


    The natural landscape is invincible, and there is a tourist area a few kilometers away. If you think the island is too boring, you can also take a yacht to participate in the excitement of the surrounding public beaches. And this brings about the problem of yachts... Things are intertwined, and enjoying it all depends on having a thick enough wallet.


    An Feng still needs a designer to design the island owner''s vacation mansion, which doesn''t need to be extravagant. Anyway, he can''t come here a few times a year. He needs a two-story building with electricity, water, and Internet, and a freshwater swimming pool facing the city. The sea, the warmth of spring and the flowers blooming... It is close to the mainland, and the request is not too difficult.


    There are also indispensable island caretakers, who live on the island all year round, maintain order, and guard against being intruded into private land by other people. One or two people are recommended, because the geographical location is good, it is only a ten-minute flight from Sardinia, and it is the same from La Maddalena.


    It took some time to entrust the matter. In the end, they rented a boat to go out to sea, landed on the island, and enjoyed a sunny and sunny afternoon, completely undisturbed, very quiet, and they could overlook the La Maddalena Island in the distance and countless yachts and sailboats on the sea.


    Joanna rested on his lap, looked down at the sea in the distance, and said with great enjoyment: "It feels really good, the temperature is right, it''s worth it."


    "The conditions are too primitive, and all aspects need to be improved." An Feng said, this is also a fly in the ointment, and the demand for water resources and electricity is very urgent.


    "It will get better." She closed her eyes comfortably, "Hold me."


    An Feng hugged her, stroked her hair gently, and let her relax in the sea breeze and warm sun... This place is different from other islands. Its geographical advantages determine the correctness of investment. After many islands were sold, the owner of the island They will change hands within a few years, because there is a gap with the dream.


    The life on the fantasy island is rarely realized, because the place where they live is far and remote, and the power problem alone is difficult for a large number of people. An Feng looked at the hillside above his head, and the sea breeze here is not small. The wind power station should be able to provide electricity, if not, use super batteries.


    Or submarine cable is also a good choice, it is only six or seven kilometers away from the mainland... In short, as long as you have money, everything is easy to do, and things will be taken slowly. If you get bored, just like a holiday company, transform it into a holiday island and rent it out at a high price, there must be no shortage of customers.


    After having enough fun in the afternoon, sail back to the voyage.


    On the way, An Feng considered practical issues: "Darling, you said we need at least one yacht here? How will we come here in the future?"


    "Order another one?" Joanna understood what he meant.


    An Feng nodded: "Yes, continue to go to Genoa to talk to the manager. Anyway, we are already VIP customers, so we should have a fast track."


    Taking advantage of the time to go north to Finland, they went to Genoa again, and they were still received by the account manager, and this time they were still on time. As a professional manager who serves the rich, he must have a strong sense of time. If he plays with the Italian temperament, he will be unemployed sooner or later.


    An Feng wanted to get the goods faster, because it took only half a year to transform the island, and it would take more than a year after the establishment of the facilities, and the mood of playing would be destroyed sooner or later. After listening to the idea, the manager said, "I''m afraid Riva is not so fast."


    When An Feng was disappointed, he continued: "But Ferretti has semi-finished yachts, which were canceled by some customers. If you are interested, you can modify them according to your favorite style. It is estimated that it will take up to five yachts. It will be completed in about a month.��


    "What types are there?" An Feng asked.


    ��We have the flagship Line 960. The hull has been completed, and we are waiting for the selection and assembly of the interior. All projects only need 10 million US dollars.��


    The manager directly recommends the most expensive one. In his opinion, what this super rich man cares about is not the price, but time and enjoyment. He simply chooses what he likes and recommends the best one, which will also allow him to earn more profit commissions. . The manager guessed right. After seeing the renderings, An Feng admired them very much.


    After choosing the accessories I like, I signed a contract, stipulating the latest delivery time, and clinking champagne glasses again to celebrate...the next day they were on the plane to Finland, the schedule was tight, and the cruise ship estimated The day after tomorrow we will need to sail away from port.


    On the plane, Joanna asked, "Have you decided how to name the two yachts?"


    As the flagship luxury yacht, it can be sprayed with the name according to the customer''s requirements. An Feng didn''t expect it when he signed the contract, and promised to reply within one month.


    He turned his head and said, "Continue to be named after you?"


    "Always me?" She smiled.


    "I''m not very good at picking names." An Feng frowned, "Oh! I have a good one! The Ferretti 960 is called ''Dame-Joanna'', to commemorate your honor and become a lady; and Riva''s The yacht is called ''Baroness-Joanna'', in honor of your baroness."


    Joanna said: "Are you so sure I can get these within the time the yacht is built?"


    "It doesn''t matter. Anyway, the title comes sooner or later. It doesn''t matter if it is a year later or a year earlier."


    "I really admire you!" After Joanna finished speaking, she thought of something: "Wait! According to what you say, isn''t the cruise ship also within the possibility?"


    An Feng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at her: "Do you want to be a queen?"


    "What?" Joanna said.


    An Feng has his own way: "I read on the Internet before that there was a couple who lived in a concrete artillery fort, and they proclaimed themselves king and queen. Their children will be princes and princesses in the future. In addition, they also have the national flag, country name and currency. Distribution rights, of course the central bank is also at home.��


    "Haha! It''s amazing!" Joanna couldn''t help laughing.


    An Feng shrugged: "I''m serious."


    "I know, dear." Joanna held his hand and looked at him: "But I''m satisfied as long as I can be your queen!"


    "It''s very simple." An Feng didn''t care, "You did it last time!"


    "Don''t say it!" Joanna covered his mouth, for fear that An Feng would run off the train with his mouth full, and would say something about the fact that he was handcuffed to be an M last time... It''s embarrassing!


    The flight attendant who served them tea secretly smiled.


    "Look!" Joanna pinched him after the stewardess left.


    "I was wrong!" An Feng surrendered, he was innocent, but this is clearly the truth, okay?


    ��


    Their private plane arrived in Helsinki, Finland, non-stop, and then transferred to a flight to Turku. The super cruise ship has already docked at the local deep-water port, quietly waiting for their master. After getting off the plane, I was first picked up and sent to the hotel to stay. The time is not early, and I will visit the next day.


    Accompanied by Jim, several shipyard managers, account managers, and two translators came to the dedicated seaport the next day, and saw this shocking super jumbo from a distance. If you want to observe the complete cruise ship, you have to step back, and you can only see a part of it at close range.


    It is 75 meters high, equivalent to the height of a 30-story building, with a total length of 365 meters and a displacement of 230,000 tons. It looks like a monster about to explode across the harbor. Approaching it, Wei An''s body covered the sky and covered the sun, and then came to the bow of the ship. The words "Queen-Joanna" were printed in huge black letters on the side of the ship, verifying her true body.


    "It looks good!" An Feng said with satisfaction.


    Jim said: "Its interior can only be described as ''amazing'', it is so luxurious, more luxurious than any cruise ship I have ever seen!"


    "Shall we get on the boat?" An Feng looked at everyone.


    Enter the hull from the connecting channel, below the fifth floor are the opera house, cinema, ice rink and other areas. The fifth floor is a luxurious interior corridor, which is also the "facade" of the cruise ship. Take the elevator to the fifth deck, and enjoy the world''s largest and most expensive super cruise ship in the magnificent luxury.


    An Feng had very high requirements at the beginning, but he also gave a lot of money. The shipyard did everything possible to move all the luxurious things up, and finally spent the budget. Including the central park surrounded by buildings in the eight-story atrium, the crystal staircase from the fifth floor, or the extremely elegant opera house.


    All this is piled up with money, two billion puts all imaginable luxury on it, it has a casino, two opera houses, three movie theaters, ten bars, twenty restaurants, and an indoor ice rink , amphitheatre, rock climbing area, high-rise zip line...


    Calling it the "Sea Palace" is worthy of the name. An Feng saw the No. 1 top-level suite built for VVIP on the top floor. It spans two rows of buildings domineeringly. It is a cruise ship with a hidden story.


    Walking into Suite 1, the outdoor and indoor area is 1,500 square meters. It is a duplex structure. The lower floor is the living and entertainment area. There is a salon for more than a dozen people, a study room with a rich collection of books, a fitness room for physical and mental health care, and a huge constant temperature freshwater swimming pool. You can soak in the water and look at the ocean outside the three-meter-high floor-to-ceiling windows.


    Outside is an open-air top-floor viewing platform. The location is excellent. You can stand on the highest point and look out at the sea, feel the majesty of the big ship moving forward, or choose a good weather, put a few deck chairs on it to bask in the sun, and you can also use the small observatory at night. Count the stars in the night sky.


    The second floor is the living area. It is equipped with a living room and three living rooms. To be honest, the three rooms are a bit too big. The house is divided into a front hall and a back hall. The bathroom is larger than the living room of an ordinary family. There is a sauna Steam bath, hydrotherapy SPA, jacuzzi... everything is available.


    The other party introduced: "This place is built according to a super five-star hotel, with top-notch facilities to ensure that VVIP guests can enjoy the most distinguished services of the Sea Palace."


    "It''s really good!" An Feng was very satisfied. Although the color tone tends to be bright and luxurious, this super cruise ship was built for this purpose. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the room, looking at the dozen or so swimming pools on the top deck and the central garden in the atrium, with an invincible view.


    Joanna was also happy with all the details.


    After the customer was satisfied, they held the empty-laden maiden voyage the next day. The destination of their departure this time was the deep-water pier rented by Ocean Shipping Company in Miami, where the Queen will berth and set sail in the future. There are not many people on the cruise ship now, except for the crew, there are only a few customers.


    The maiden voyage of a cruise ship fully loaded with guests and waiters will have to wait until next year.


    An Feng and Joanna only participated in the 300-kilometer trial voyage. They set off from Turku to feel the wind and waves and supreme heroism. After sailing for a few hours, the cruise ship approached Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. According to the original arrangement, they took the helicopter on board to leave .


    The actual experience satisfied them, and the five-star cruise ship was impeccable. Then wait for the cruise ship to return to Florida across the Atlantic, and the company will pay the remaining $1.4 billion to the shipyard to fully complete the agreement. Now, An Feng and Joanna are already on the plane back to the United States.

 Chapter 321： challenge

    Chapter 321 Challenge


    This trip lasted more than ten days. Although there were a lot of things on my body, it was quite enjoyable to take a break from the busy schedule, and the wallet was also shrunk according to their expectations. After I came back, it was December, the cold season of winter, but the feeling of California was still flat. Maybe cooler.


    Two days after An Feng arrived home, he took a trip to the racing track.


    According to Rob, the director, informed him that Maserati needed to challenge their track��as early as more than a month ago, Maserati��s high-tech department had moved to California as a whole, located five kilometers away from the racing track. After a simple renovation, the staff will start to operate.


    Maserati hopes to launch several pure electric models at the Geneva Motor Show in March next year. Not developing new models means changing the original president and GT to pure electric versions to save the cost of developing new models... In fact, this is an industry rule.


    The first few generations of models that you have seen, 2013 and 2014, are all like this. Now they are only converted into pure electric vehicles, which is not difficult. An Feng came to the racetrack by helicopter and met with Robert and Maserati''s Vice President of North America, Bruno.


    An Feng and Bruno discussed the matter of electric vehicles. Although Bruno didn''t know the specific origin of An Feng, he knew that he should be a senior executive of the GP company and that he also owned the racing track, so his attitude was very strict. He and An Feng carefully discussed the details of converting them into electric vehicles.


    Looking at the drawings, you can see that electric vehicles have fewer parts than cars. First of all, they do not have a gearbox, do not need a huge radiator, and do not have an exhaust pipe. Moreover, the volume of the electric motor is at least half smaller than that of the engine. Referring to the Tesla car, it has two storage compartments front and rear.


    Electric vehicles only have the motor and wheels moving! There is a lot of space, but the test is the weight of the battery, which is a bit of a trade-off. The weight of the machine is greatly reduced, but the battery has become a burden. In the era of lithium-ion batteries, Tesla''s battery panels are said to weigh half a ton!


    Therefore, light weight is not easy to achieve. Until the emergence of graphene batteries, the miniaturization of high-end batteries has changed the status quo. High-end batteries can reduce the load to about 150 kg, which is about three times heavier than the entire transmission system. The overall weight and reduced cars Parts are flat.


    Now they bring the "spy car" covered in camouflage, and the professional test drivers are going to use a small track��the amoeba circuit is very powerful. There are three tracks, two of which are three-kilometer tracks, and they will not interfere with each other. Usually, it is very convenient to test and play the car, and it does not affect the F1 track.


    Bruno introduced: "It is the model we are currently modifying, the president of the V8 version. Considering the weight distribution of the whole car, we installed the engine and battery in the front engine compartment. The total weight of the body is 75 kg less than that of the gasoline version. It is a Very nice breakthrough."


    "How is the battery installed? Is it the same as Tesla?" An Feng was curious.


    "It''s not the same, we can open it to have a look." Bruno stepped forward and opened the hood himself, revealing a completely different layout from the traditional gasoline car inside. The electric motor is very small, squeezed in the rear, and the two sides are connected in parallel The battery pack, is well packaged.


    An Feng asked: "How about the actual test results?"


    "The power of the motor it uses reaches 480 horsepower, and the theoretical top speed is about 300 kilometers per hour. The battery life is unknown. This is the first time we have pushed it on the track. The testers are ready. The specific results need to be continuous averages. , hope it brings surprises!"


    "I''m optimistic about it!" An Feng said confidently.


    There are several Maserati technicians, a technical director and two test drivers on site. Everyone watched them push the car out, and the well-dressed test driver got on the car, and the sound of starting was very small. The test car started, and after a few rounds to get familiar with the operation, it entered the track.


    This is a challenge, in addition to testing the performance of the vehicle, there are also electric motors, batteries and the overall structure.


    An Feng watched it run a few laps, and it performed very well, but it lacked the roar of the car''s engine - the electric car has removed this **** link, at most it is the hum of the high-speed rotation of the motor and the friction between the car tires and the ground Sound, less auditory effect.


    An Feng watched it for a while, and found that the test drive process was boring, so he went back to the office with Robert to discuss other matters. There is good news that Amoeba Motorsports has applied for an event: IndyCar. After all, it is a race that tours the United States, so it is naturally easy to apply.


    "The race schedule has not yet come out, but we are not the first stop, nor the final stop, it may be between June and July." Robert said, "In addition, F1 and other international competitions are also being applied for. Our track It has been accepted by the FIA."


    "Congratulations!" An Feng said, being able to be accepted by the FIA ??proves that he has entered the eyes of the FIA, and it also means that the application for international competitions has taken the first step, and the next step depends on the FIA''s attitude. Except that the racetrack is not close to a big city, the other conditions are top-notch.


    We talked about the race for half an hour, and when we came out, we saw the racing car pitted for rest. An Feng asked and learned that in the racing mode, the test car ran 100 kilometers and consumed 25% of the battery. This time, the test theory can run 400 kilometers, the driving mileage has been shortened a lot.


    However, the racing mode is different from ordinary driving. The racing mode is to step on the gas pedal as hard as possible, completely ignoring it. High power consumption is normal. If it is a daily driving, it is estimated that it can reach more than 500 kilometers. For small-sized batteries, the advantage is already Very obvious.


    After the test run on the track, use a 1.5-mile straight road to challenge the extreme speed. After passing a high-speed corner, the speed of the test car has reached 180 kilometers per hour. Enter the straight road, step on the accelerator to the end, and challenge the extreme speed of this car...The final speed is fixed at 305 kilometer.


    It was undoubtedly a successful challenge.


    The test vehicle came into the station to rest, the technician directly opened the hood, and quickly disassembled the battery in a live performance. The disassembly of the two batteries only took more than ten seconds, and the installation was almost the same, and the problem was resolved within half a minute. An Feng sees the prospect of electric car racing, and the speed of battery replacement is not a problem.


    He wanted to try it with itchy hands at first, but out of caution, driving the test car was dangerous, and its safety factor could not be guaranteed. In the end, An Feng dismissed the idea, the test car was indeed unstable, and it was better to wait until the official model appeared. Then drive it to test on the track.


    ��


    Another thing that comes close to Christmas is the shooting show.


    It is the second time now, but strictly speaking it is the third time. The shooting show is getting bigger and bigger, and it has gained fame. Some military websites or magazines have published content about the shooting show. The reason is that it is the latecomer who catches the attention.


    An Feng and Mike talked on the phone. Mike said that someone in the gun store wanted to sponsor, and the only thing was to ask for their advertisements in the gun store to cooperate with the promotion in the event. It seems that manufacturers are very smart and know that small costs are exchanged for big profits. However, An Feng''s attitude is that if you don''t make money, you don''t make money.


    He is also preparing. Xiaobai is almost one and a half years old. Although he is not yet an adult, he eats and sleeps well every day and receives training with professional equipment. His body has grown very fast. He is 2.2 meters long and weighs 150 kilograms. Really live with yourself and the wild.


    The environment suppresses its wildness, and its high intelligence allows it to know what to do and what not to do, but as a beast, it must have the aura of a beast, whether it is a mule or a horse, it should be pulled out for a walk��An Feng decided to take it with him this time. It''s going to Texas, and it''s really going to be some hunting.


    Wait until it performs well, or has suffered a lot, and then take it to Africa to play, so that it can truly reflect the kingly spirit.


    An Feng rubbed Xiaobai''s head and said, "Get ready for the challenge!"


    Xiaobai let out a deep growl, his tiger eyes widened, and he lowered his body in a posture of pouncing on food, very imposing. An Feng smiled and stretched out the arm covered with the exoskeleton, and held it down: "I hope it won''t be a good one by then! Come on, run around with me, find your mother, and go back to have dinner together!"


    An Feng, who was wearing an exoskeleton, ran in front, and Xiaobai didn''t move behind. After An Feng ran more than ten meters, it jumped out. At that moment, its movements and postures were extremely perfect. Explosive limit speed to catch up with the target ahead.


    An Feng had expected it a long time ago, and he also broke out. Using the speed and strength given to him by the exoskeleton, he ran wildly, one man and one tiger, chasing around the vineyard. His blood seemed to be boiling.


    In the end, the tiger has the upper hand. An Feng''s instant running limit when wearing the exoskeleton is only 50 kilometers per hour, while the tiger with well-developed limbs and aerodynamic shape has the fastest explosive speed of 85 kilometers per hour in the test. It lasted for ten seconds!


    Xiao Bai was side by side with him very quickly, overtaking him in a very short time, An Feng slowed down, and this guy also slowed down, glanced back at him, and proudly wagged his tail and twisted his buttocks to lead the way. Xiaobai sniffed the scent and found Joanna who was practicing equestrianism nearby.


    "Dinner time is coming soon!" An Feng said to her, "Go back!"


    "OK." Joanna gave an instruction, and Gina ran immediately, leaving An Feng and Tiger to follow at a leisurely pace.


    Back to the villa on the top of the mountain, Wu Qian, the housekeeper, came out with a cordless phone: "Sir, Mr. Wang was looking for you just now."


    "Thank you." An Feng took the phone, called back, and got through quickly: "Xiao Lezi, what can I do with you?"


    "I just want to tell you that a friend will come over tomorrow, and I will kidnap ten rich clients for you. How about it, thank me?"


    "That''s right, I''ll give you a 20% discount." An Feng smiled.


    "The real price?" said the other end.


    "That''s right, if you go on, you will lose money." An Feng said, "Should they practice first? Familiarize themselves with the rules?"


    "I have this plan, so I will play with them in California these few days, or go to the casino. In short, I will come to meet you in five days, and take your plane for a while, and let a few of my friends increase their knowledge. , How about seeing what the life of a rich man in the United States is like?"


    "Whatever you want, anyway, my plane can accommodate eighteen people." An Feng said.


    "Okay, let''s just say that, when the time comes, I will instigate them to play some money-burning projects, such as shooting six-barreled machine guns, and the money will come in!"


    "Hahaha, thank you very much!" An Feng smiled and chatted with him for a few words before hanging up the phone.


    Joanna who entered the room pointed to Xiaobai''s somewhat dirty paws: "Wash your hands, or you won''t eat tonight!"


    Xiaobai stopped turning to the kitchen, turned around aggrieved and walked outside. Considering the size, there is a sink outside, which can be used by occasional small animals or smart horses. An Feng looked at its back and smiled: "Don''t cause any psychological shadow."


    "It''s very smart, it won''t." Joanna said, "Take off this iron, I don''t want to see you still wearing it at the dinner table."


    "Well, Your Lady Queen, I''m just a poor Tiger Two." An Feng shrugged and went back to the fitness room to take off his equipment, Joanna shook her head and smiled.

 Chapter 322： annual event

    Chapter 322 Annual event


    The agreed departure date will arrive soon.


    Besides Wang Le and his wife, some of the other ten friends from China have met before. Yu Hao and Ye Ning are considered acquaintances, and they also have new faces. Wang Le introduced them and set off after getting to know each other. He didn''t even go through the VIP passage, and followed An Feng directly to the inside of the airport to experience the VVIP privileges.


    A white Gulfstream G650 docked quietly, the gangway has been put down.


    Everyone was very concerned about the private jet, and looked up one after another. Yu Hao said, "What a beautiful plane! It feels bigger than the ones I''ve seen in China."


    "It''s an intercontinental plane." An Feng explained.


    "No wonder!" Yu Hao understood, "Its voyage is at least over 10,000 kilometers, right?"


    An Feng nodded: "It is estimated to be about 12,000 kilometers with a full load. The fewer people you fly, the farther you can fly."


    "Is it convenient to disclose the price?" Yu Hao asked.


    Wang Le said strangely: "Are you also planning to develop international private air routes?"


    Yu Hao said with a smile: "Pure curiosity. But I can''t afford such a luxurious business jet. At most, I can play with thousands of fixed wings."


    An Feng also smiled: "It is a new model with extended range, and it needs 80 million US dollars."


    Yu Hao said: "Sure enough, it is a toy for the rich to spend money on. If it is placed in the country and tax is calculated, it will cost at least 500 million. There is no convenient private air route."


    "The United States has this advantage. It''s really easy to talk about money." An Feng smiled, and said sideways: "Everyone, please!"


    Guests boarded the plane one after another. At this time, a pickup truck drove up, accompanied by two bodyguards, carrying the exoskeleton box, followed by a tiger. Flying with pets across states has different regulations, but it is definitely not as convenient as it is now. No procedures were done, no one checked anyway.


    When An Feng walked into the cabin, the eyes of the passengers all focused on him.


    The sudden appearance of a strong tiger made everyone in the cabin have different expressions. Wang Le didn''t know beforehand, so he didn''t tell them. Now they are all staring at the tiger in a daze. What is the trouble? An Feng met and explained with a smile: "Don''t worry, pet tiger, it won''t hurt anyone."


    After some explanations, they were relieved and turned to focus on the tiger. Wang Le asked: "Are you planning to train it in the field?"


    "That''s right, I''m not young anymore, I should take it out to practice." An Feng nodded.


    "Pet tiger?" Ye Ning asked curiously.


    "You don''t know!" Wang Le said with emotion, "This guy is not raising an ordinary tiger. The training content alone is beyond your imagination."


    "What''s going on?" they asked.


    Wang Le picked some scenes of An Feng training tigers, such as running, boxing, short-distance sprinting... Everyone was shocked when they heard this. This is completely training tigers as if they were humans. Then look at the beast lying on the aisle and sleeping late. If this size explodes, its destructive power is unquestionable.


    After several hours of traveling comfortably, the plane landed in Austin.


    The gun store sent several cars to pick them up, and after getting off the plane, they drove to the hunting ground non-stop. After staying away from the city, the vast and original style of Texas has been restored, and the western style is everywhere. After enjoying the scenery all the way to Anfeng''s private territory, it is customary to see the gun shop first.


    Because the friends from China are all men, they have a natural love for firearms. When they come across a gun store, it��s like a woman encounters a store selling famous brand bags. Fang chat. Check out Mike''s preparations for tomorrow''s shooting show.


    Mike is in a good mood: "The situation is very good. According to the occupancy rate of the surrounding hotels, they were already full two days ago, and many foreigners drove over. The number of tourists participating in this year''s event is expected to be double that of last year. But we have abundant ammunition stocks. Can handle three times as many tourists."


    "Yes, let''s continue to bring you an audio-visual enjoyment!" An Feng said.


    "The local government also supports us. The annual event has driven the development of the surrounding catering and tourism industries. Now this event is considered a star project in the local area and has a wide influence. I think we can apply for more relaxed conditions from the state government, such as using small Caliber shells or something."


    An Feng asked: "How likely is it?"


    Mike said: "There are still opportunities. We can promote some good aspects, such as the consumption of ammunition stocks, so that everyone can understand other weapons and equipment besides firearms, and expand their knowledge. We can also invite the National Guard to participate to ensure safety. Technology is also guaranteed.��


    "It''s a good idea!" An Feng is also interested in this idea. In fact, the National Guard is the army of the state where it is located. The commander-in-chief is the governor. People from An Feng''s faction have a good relationship with the governors of California and Texas. One phone call away, and this matter can be arranged properly.


    If things are done, the future shooting exhibition will not only be the world of automatic weapons, maybe rocket launchers, mortars, howitzers, and tank guns can be used. The U.S. military has a large amount of expired ammunition every year, and everyone can''t finish it even if they fight hard. Of course, it''s good if someone buys it.


    An Feng wrote down this idea, and after the preparatory activities, he had a phone conversation with the governor to sell his face. It shouldn''t be difficult, and it was just a matter of a few words for the governor. After An Feng expressed his confidence, Mike said that he would make a detailed plan later.


    ��


    In the evening, I sent my friends to live in a nearby hotel. Fortunately, I had already booked in advance before coming. There is a gun shop two kilometers away, and there are many restaurants around, all of which are in good condition. After An Feng came back, he also prepared for the next day''s activities. In addition to playing with guns, the focus was on "letting the tiger go back to the mountain".


    The next morning, the event was held on time.


    The number of tourists participating in the event was much more than last year, and there were more than 50 people from the management, police and volunteers on site, but they were still too busy. Now there are TV stations, ready to record programs. Mike''s beautiful daughter, Tanya, has a good sense of camera and accepts interviews gracefully.


    An Feng put on the vest of the staff, walked around the scene, high-fived the guys, chatted a few words, and checked all aspects of the work by the way. When I returned to the original position, the staff who installed the props on the shooting range had already retreated during preparations for the opening ceremony, and more oil barrels and more explosives had been placed.


    The scale of this year''s grand event is obviously larger and more intense than last year''s. Hundreds of weapons of different lengths were displayed, hundreds of gun lovers took their positions, and the cold wind was blowing. Mike appeared in cowboy boots, jeans, and a cowboy hat, climbed onto the oil drum, and pulled out a .44 revolver.


    "This old man can really play tricks!" Ye Ning said with a smile.


    "Indeed, I have seen some old beauties, who are very old, but they all know how to dress up!" Wang Le also said.


    Mike raised the revolver and pointed at the sky, and pressed the hammer with his thumb. The scene suddenly fell silent, the conversation stopped, and a chilling atmosphere permeated the air.


    "boom"


    After the loud noise, there were hundreds of continuous gunshots in response. A salvo of firearms that can make the cold winter hot kicked off. The shooting range staged such adrenaline-stimulating hot scenes as oil barrels burning, cars on fire, explosions and rolling, etc., and the crowd cheered.


    Under the exciting stimulation, everyone is willing to spend more money to have a good time. It is rare that so many gun lovers from all over the world gather together. This atmosphere promotes everyone''s communication, especially the shooting aircraft and aerial firepower projects launched later. is a linear rise.


    Friends from China are all very interested in the project of riding a "Hummer", playing the role of a heavy machine gunner, and flying into the air with a six-barreled machine gun. As Wang Le said, when he blows the wind by the side, saying that it is a rare encounter in a lifetime, they are all gearing up to try.


    Send the two guys on the helicopter, Wang Le turned his head and smiled at An Feng.


    An Feng gave him a thumbs up, this guy is very interesting, all he brings are local tyrants, he only considers whether it is exciting enough, and he doesn''t care about the cost of bullets at all. A helicopter down the sky, at least tens of thousands. But to experience a shooting environment close to war, it is worth seeing yourself.


    An Feng walked around, and most of the people were satisfied with this annual event. It seems that it is necessary to expand the content to make the event more popular... After that, he went to his old business. In the popular project of playing remote control aircraft, Xiaolu shot down the model aircraft in the sky with a few hands and won applause.


    An Feng was indifferent on the surface, but he accepted the ladies'' attention with satisfaction in his heart.


    Pass in the morning, leave the venue to have dinner nearby. An Feng and his group did the same. They chose a local restaurant nearby, ordered roast beef and potatoes, a few burgers and drinks, and sat down to eat at two tables. Most of the stores are tourists participating in the event, and the topic is inseparable from guns.


    Domestic friends are also full of praise: "It''s exciting! I thought going to the gun store to play with guns was enough, and I could brag with my buddies when I returned to China. It seems that Wang Le is right. We play these for trivial things. The real big scene is in the Here, strong enough! Brother Feng, I admire you!"


    An Feng smiled: "Just don''t get addicted!"


    Ye Ning also has a deep understanding: "It''s really addictive. After I smashed two oil barrels this morning, I couldn''t stop my interest in smashing oil barrels. Bullets don''t cost money. I wondered if this activity is so popular. Can there be losses? How much does each investment cost?"


    An Feng shook his head, and said frankly: "Every time the plane takes off and lands, it is not cheap. Aerial shooting activities seem to be the most expensive, but they are all loss-making."


    "It seems that we should play less." Someone joked.


    An Feng smiled, and didn''t insist on making them accept this set of rhetoric, anyway, he didn''t care whether it was profitable or not.


    Everyone talked about the arrangement of activities in the afternoon, and An Feng gave a suggestion: "You can continue to participate in the activities, and there will be a chariot ride in the afternoon, which is just as popular. Of course, you can also board the plane with me and go to farther places to experience Let��s go to the hunting grounds, but the latter is a bit monotonous.��


    After everyone considered it, some people continued the activities in the afternoon, and some people decided to follow An Feng.


    Following An Feng was also very exciting. He drove out a Bell 205 and brought five friends with him. After leaving the shooting range, he flew to a hunting ground further away. He mainly wanted to survey the environment and decide where to take them to hunt tomorrow. Of course, he could also play aerial shooting and chase wild boars. It was a lot of fun.


    By the way, An Feng flew a plane to see the deep pit he asked to dig. Currently, he has invested 100 million US dollars. The plan is to dig a pit with a depth of 300 to 500 meters, and then invest in it, continue to widen it, and use reinforced concrete to reinforce it. , to create an underground world that can defend against nuclear attacks.


    Of course, anti-nuclear attack is just a superficial rhetoric, and An Feng doesn��t value it. His ultimate goal is to use it as a robot base. What��s being excavated is just a prototype. After the workers evacuate, robots will settle in and continue to expand its area by more than five times. An underground factory transformed into robots.


    The crux of this costly program is that robots, for now, are slowing down indefinitely.


    After turning around a few times and explaining a few words casually, everyone, like Joanna, found it difficult to understand. He continued on to the next destination. He found a group of pigs just now. If he catches up now, he might be able to shoot in the air. This place has been abandoned for too long, and it has become a wildlife paradise.

 Chapter 323： call to the wild

    Chapter 323 Calling the Wild


    According to the results of the aerial survey, An Feng had an idea in his mind. Since the hunting ground was very large, he bought it and did not develop it. As a result, there were more and more wild animals around, and it became a natural paradise. Animals large and small, herbivorous and carnivorous.


    He set a suitable range for the day after tomorrow''s hunting. It is very close to the camp. There is no need to run more than ten kilometers. It is very risky. In addition to those who can be hunted, there are also those who can hunt them��such as those who are awakened from hibernation. Bears, hungry wolves, or leopards.


    Just over a year ago, there were Bengal tigers here. Lawrence also told him yesterday that there might be jaguars in the wilderness, so don��t travel alone. But apart from tourists, An Feng took this kind of dangerous opportunity, and Xiao Bai obviously needed some memorable life experiences.


    When I came back in the evening, I saw Xiaobai lazily lying on the grass at the door. Usually when I drove back, I would hear dogs barking or sheepdogs shaking their heads and tails. As soon as it comes, all animals will automatically stay away.


    An Feng came in front of Xiaobai, it rolled, changed from lying on its stomach to lying down, staring at him with its feet upturned, without the slightest majesty, but like a pet dog, its cuteness went deep into the marrow. The cowboy next to him smiled and said, "It''s very obedient, it didn''t go too far all day, it just wandered around."


    "Poor guy! I''ll take you to play tomorrow!" An Feng squatted down and teased it, wondering if Xiaobai could cope with hunting alone.


    Joanna also had doubts: "Can it really work?"


    "It will definitely." An Feng said, "When you raised hounds before, didn''t they display their instincts well?"


    "I hope so." Joanna said, she thought that the hunting skills An Feng taught it before were all from the documentary.


    At the beginning, there were no conditions and no adult tigers to educate it. It was surrounded by residential areas. Obviously, it did not have a jungle where wild animals lived. It could only learn about the world by watching videos and playing videos of the animal world to it. I don��t know how much I learned. , anyway, it will be used tomorrow.


    That night, Xiaobai still curled up next to the stove and slept carefree. Early the next morning, An Feng and Joanna did not participate in the shooting activities. They wanted to fulfill their promise yesterday and take the tiger out for hunting. In order to keep up with its speed, they all put on exoskeletons.


    Xiaobai has already formed a conditioned reflex to the exoskeleton. Usually, the two of them will play well with it when they put on the exoskeleton, and they need to be careful at other times. An Feng drove the pickup truck from the ranch, let the tiger sit on the trailer, and drove out along the dirt road, the destination was the river.


    There are many wild animals on both sides of the river, most of which are deer. Red deer and moose are more common. Occasionally, there will be some wolves, or raccoons and foxes. An Feng drove the car near the river bank, turned off the engine and got out of the car. The road ahead was difficult and would disturb the animals that lived there.


    After they put on the exoskeleton, their physical fitness will be several times stronger than that of ordinary soldiers. Their weapons are shotguns and shotguns, and they also wear helmets. An action camera is mounted on one side, mainly to record the wonderful shots of tiger hunting. After getting off the car, walk in the right direction, followed by Xiaobai.


    It took more than two minutes to arrive near the river bank, squatted down, and An Feng pointed in front of him: "There are a lot of deer over there, and they are drinking water!"


    Joanna observed with the scope of the sniper rifle: "There are a lot of weeds around, which is conducive to the tiger''s action."


    An Feng turned his head and called Xiao Bai over, pointed to the herd of deer in front of him, and said in words he had trained many times: "Hunting!"


    Xiaobai has a conditioned reflex for a small amount of vocabulary, and the environment he uses is in the situation of pounce on the target and bite the food. This time, a group of animals appeared in front of him, and the instinct of the beast was gradually aroused. Needless to say, he understood What they mean is that it is hungry even if it has not had breakfast.


    It was wandering around, and just when An Feng thought it didn''t understand, it moved out quietly. An Feng and Joanna''s position is at a high place, which is convenient for observation. Xiaobai chose to go down from the position covered by the weeds on the other side, and moved forward with his body low, moving lightly, which was hard to detect.


    It came to a place very close to the river bank, and then it went out to open land, which was easily exposed, but it was only 30 meters away from the deer herd, which was a very good hunting distance for tigers��just thinking about it in Anfeng When it was time to do it, Xiaobai moved!


    As expected, it rushed out directly, its running posture was very graceful, its limbs stretched at a large angle, and its spine undulated regularly like waves. In this regard, An Feng contributed a lot to its training, and it was able to run up to 85 Speed ??in kilometers per hour is a prime example.


    In just a short moment, it crossed a distance of more than ten meters and rushed to the front of the deer. The deer who were drinking water were startled and scattered. Some ran towards the bank, and some jumped into the water. The scene was chaotic. Xiaobai ran furiously, but without a goal. It seemed that he was just trying to make himself fast.


    When the deer herd dispersed, it hesitated for at least a second before chasing the prey on the right.


    In contrast, wild deer herds have been threatened by natural enemies since birth. Adult deer that can survive to the present have outstanding escape skills and speed. It took Xiaobai some time to run the 30 meters before, he hesitated, and tried his best to catch up again, but in the end it was too late, and he could only watch helplessly as his prey blurted out. It came back disappointed and looked in An Feng''s direction, this time he didn''t give any help.


    "No pursuit experience at all." An Feng shook his head.


    "At least it knows how to chase this group of prey." Joanna was more optimistic, "Next time it will definitely not make this mistake again."


    They called Xiaobai back, returned to the car, and went to the next stop.


    It took some time to find the prey this time. An Feng hoped to be a little different, but there were mostly deer herds. The wild boars or coyotes that could be seen on the helicopter have now disappeared. After searching for a while, the second group of deer appeared, this time Xiaobai no longer needed instructions.


    It approached the target without saying a word, using the cover of the surrounding vegetation, the distance was shortened to forty meters... thirty meters, and it still showed no sign of erupting. Stopping, they all looked up at the direction the tiger was coming from.


    Like lightning, Xiaobai rushed out, this time the target was neither the left nor the right, but a red deer that seemed quite far away in a straight line. The prey was relatively small, and the corresponding running speed and agility were also high. It is not as good as other deer. Although the distance is longer, Xiaobai takes advantage of it - the super endurance trained in the gym.


    It unswervingly pursues its prey at an explosive limit speed.


    An Feng and Joanna stood up and watched. After running more than 100 meters, Xiaobai finally slapped the prey to the ground from behind, jumped to the back of the prey, and opened his mouth to bite the back of the neck. The huge impact force together with it It falls to the ground together with the prey, its paws press the prey, and the mouth does not let go.


    After a few seconds, the red deer stopped breathing.


    "Let''s go and have a look!" An Feng said to Joanna, and walked out quickly.


    The speed of the exoskeleton is also outstanding. The distance of more than 100 meters has saved more than half of the time compared with the usual time. When it came to Xiaobai, it was hesitating whether to eat or start eating after receiving instructions. It cast longing eyes on An Feng, he nodded and said, "Eat it quickly!"


    Xiaobai understood the meaning of this sentence very well, and enjoyed the food happily.


    "This time the effect is good!" An Feng said.


    Joanna said: "It is very smart, and the same mistakes will not be repeated. This is the hunting instinct, buried in the blood, and now it has been awakened!"


    ��


    The instinct of animals is really powerful. Before today, Xiaobai didn��t have any hunting skills in the field, but after he got used to it, he became a master hunter��at least when dealing with ordinary prey. Various skills that cannot be used normally can also be reproduced.


    After it was half full, An Feng called it away.


    Xiao Bai looked at the remaining prey with a little reluctance, An Feng shook his head: "If you eat all of these, you will sleep late in the next few days."


    Tigers are different from humans. They can eat a lot in one meal, and then don��t eat for two or three days, or turn back to eat what they have left. According to statistics, a tigress hunts once every 8 days on average, but An Feng cannot wait for such a long time. Daily training is a must, so there is no need to be too full.


    Deer hunting is not difficult. For Xiaobai, who is strong in quality, he easily passed the test of endurance. Next, An Feng plans to have difficulties sooner. After passing the river, there is a forest that is not densely packed, and it is inconvenient to drive. Easily disturbed animals, they choose to walk.


    Putting on the exoskeleton, the physical exertion is only one-third of the usual, which is still very easy. I went around where wild boars used to be and finally found them. Xiaobai also got An Feng''s instruction, and the black wild boars in front of him were his targets this time.


    This time, it is still a covert approach, waiting for the right time and then attacking suddenly.


    But wild boars are different from herds of deer. They are not defenseless, especially when there are a large number of them and the natural enemies are inexperienced, they will surround them one by one, baring their fangs, and protecting their cubs in the middle. Confronted with Xiaobai who was eyeing him covetously.


    For the first time, Xiaobai encountered a target who dared to confront it and showed aggressiveness. The instinct of animals to face unknown creatures is often to observe and test first. It wanders around wild boars, trying to find their weaknesses. This is a learning process, An Feng watched patiently.


    Xiaobai launched a few tentative attacks, but was retaliated by the wild boar. It is very dexterous. Although it lacks hunting experience, its agility is one of the best. An Feng''s usual training has played a role, playing with the tiger and throwing the frisbee The game is a test of dexterity.


    After a few times of dodging attacks, Xiaobai became familiar with the habits of this group of black creatures. Instead, he bared his fangs, circled behind a wild boar, and made a fierce pounce��surprisingly, it did not attack from behind. , the classic way of biting the throat, but with a slap!


    With this slap, the wild boar fell to the ground... and rolled three or four meters away.


    An Feng saw the bright spot that it is different from wild tigers��intelligence!


    Xiaobai knew that among so many united wild boars, he would face many risks in successfully biting off its neck. After thinking about it, it decided to use its strength��the arm strength that other tigers are not good at is also obtained from boxing. His muscles are as hard as iron.


    An Feng said at the beginning that it can shoot a person to death.


    Now it has photographed a wild boar weighing 70 to 80 kilograms three to four meters away, confirming the idea!


    After this attack was completed, it did not stay where it was, and flexibly looked for opportunities to avoid the pigs, and attacked the wild boars that got up again. Using the reaction interval of other wild boars, it bit the prey''s throat fiercely, dragging out a Two meters away, let go when other wild boars are chasing.


    It stepped back a few steps and looked at the group of pigs, crouched down, and rushed forward with a roar.


    The herd of wild boars was frightened by this ferocious momentum, and the powerful opponent made them abandon their fallen companions. The desire to survive made them look for another way out��to escape collectively. Xiaobai rushed forward in twos and threes, and his four sharp canine teeth ended the life of the struggling wild boar on the ground.


    "Awesome!" An Feng said, this is the nature of a king.

 Chapter 324： instinct training

    Chapter 324 Instinct Training


    Learning to use his own advantages and intelligence to hunt and kill wild boars shows that Xiaobai has awakened his own wildness, which is already very outstanding for the immature. An Feng was very satisfied. The previous training was not in vain. Although he couldn''t teach it hunting skills, he forged a strong body.


    They turned back in the afternoon, and Xiaobai had already filled his stomach after hunting a few times, and resumed his lazy tone, following around the two masters, either walking in front, or falling behind, sniffing various smells in the air , The eyes with excellent vision glanced around.


    As a jungle killer, the tiger''s instinct allows Xiaobai to adapt well to the environment here. The surrounding creatures, the smells in the air, and subtle changes are all brought together in its head, which can be quickly formed to analyze and judge, keen Instincts are being cultivated.


    An Feng and Joanna watched quietly, and were not in a hurry to go back. Occasionally, Xiaobai would run out to chase some living creatures in the grass. He was not hungry now, but he was still young. If it is a wild tiger, I am afraid it will still live with its brothers and sisters.


    Seeing Xiaobai chasing the foxes to the ground, Joanna smiled: "It feels amazing, like watching our children grow up little by little."


    "It''s very fulfilling." An Feng said.


    "Yes, that''s how it is." Joanna looked at the back of the tiger that was gradually going away, "It has grown up, and maybe the jungle is the most suitable place for it."


    "I don''t think so." An Feng shook his head, "It is now a part of our family. If you let it return to the jungle, it is equivalent to driving it out of the house, and it will be sad."


    "Really?" She smiled.


    "Don''t believe me?" An Feng called "Come back" to Xiaobai in the distance, and soon, Xiaobai gave up his toy and ran back.


    Xiaobai ran up to An Feng, stood up with his forelimbs, and hugged An Feng. An Feng rubbed his head against the two-meter-tall guy, patted it on the back, and motioned for it to fall to the ground, and then squatted down. , changed his expression and tone: "Mom said I don''t want you anymore."


    Xiaobai couldn''t understand complex sentences, but he felt a little ominous from An Feng''s mood and tone. An Feng even pushed it, waved his hand, and signaled it to go away. Xiaobai looked at them full of puzzlement. It doesn''t go away even if you push it, it just circles around them, trying to rub people with its head.


    Joanna couldn''t bear it: "Okay, it''s my fault! Look how sad it is!"


    "Haha!" An Feng laughed, "Come here girl, I was just joking!"


    Although he couldn''t understand the language, he could feel the tone and mood. Xiaobai jumped up and hugged An Feng, but this guy''s strength was too great. With a seemingly light pounce, An Feng had to take several steps back, so he just sat down. On a nearby rock, tickle it and fight with it.


    "Hey! I said don''t lick me!" An Feng reminded it, and closed its big mouth with his hand, Xiaobai''s head turned around, the picture was very interesting.


    Joanna looked at them who were intimate, and smiled: "Let''s go, go back and make trouble, it''s getting dark!"


    "Okay! Let''s go!" An Feng opened his arms and hugged Xiaobai. The exoskeleton made it easy for him to pick up the big guy weighing nearly 300 kilograms, and he walked ten meters against humanity before putting it down. After Bai fell to the ground, he ran to show off to Joanna again, exhausting all his energy.


    Driving back to the camp, everyone opened their eyes wide when they saw two people walking side by side - An Feng and Joanna walked on each side, Xiao Bai was in the middle, with his front paws on their shoulders, and only his back legs to walk. Although it is quite common among pet dogs, it is a tiger!


    "It''s against the sky!" Even Wang Le, who is used to Xiaobai''s cleverness, finds it inconceivable.


    An Feng came to them and greeted them: "How are you doing today?"


    "It''s very enjoyable." Wang Le said, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Bai who fell to the ground again and returned to normal mode. "Is this finally a pet dog?"


    "How is it possible, pet dogs don''t have its lethal power!" An Feng took off the camera on his helmet, "I took a lot of close-up pictures today, and I''m afraid it would be difficult for professional photographers to get them. I''ll cut them later. After you come out, let me show you what a tiger is!"


    "Looking forward!" Wang Le said.


    "That''s it, go change first." An Feng finished speaking, and returned to the room with Joanna.


    After they left, Yu Hao and the others gathered around, and the topic was not only the tiger, but also the exoskeleton on the two of them. They were very curious about both aspects.


    It��s easy to explain the tiger, but Wang Le doesn��t know much about the exoskeleton: ��I only know that it��s custom-made, it seems to be from a robot company.��


    Someone said: "This is somewhat different from the one used by the US military. It seems to be more streamlined, but it must be the core technology that can be used all day long!"


    "Ask him." Wang Le shrugged.


    Later, An Feng explained to them: "A company under me is also developing the exoskeleton. Isn''t it surprising that it can be used?"


    Yu Hao asked: "But does it have no limit?"


    An Feng said indifferently: "It''s a bit restrictive. Congress legislated to protect exoskeleton technology, but it doesn''t matter now. Which of the big countries is not developing it? The British one came out, and the Russian one also had samples. China and France have both made breakthroughs. I It��s no problem to play in the United States.��


    "Admiration!" They said, those who can play like this are definitely not ordinary rich people.


    ��


    In the evening, as usual, everyone decided to hold a barbecue dinner in the ranch camp. Guys from the gun store and the ranch, as well as friends from a dozen countries, had already arrived. Warm up by the campfire, drink some hot milk, and take a bite of fat mutton. This is happiness on a winter night. Even Xiaobai, who is full during the day, is greedy for some roasted.


    The form is a bit like a foreign farmhouse, full of western flavor, whether it is eating, drinking or temperament, it is rough and heroic. After the meal, there will be a cowboy dance for entertainment, no matter whether it is possible or not, take advantage of the atmosphere to perform for a while, and the atmosphere will be renewed. Go up a level.


    This night is enough to be a good memory. On the second day, the two-day shooting exhibition came to an end, but the holidays of friends from China were not over yet. They gathered in front of the ranch hut, checked equipment and weapons, and listened to An Feng explain the precautions. They will go hunting in the next few days .


    As the host who invited them to be guests, An Feng spent the whole day with them, teaching hunting skills, although not superb, but very useful for novices, from tracking to selecting targets, to shooting, all the way Stop, stop, and go through all possible situations.


    In the next few days, they can basically let go and let them experience hunting nearby. An Feng and Joanna didn''t participate, so he had to continue training Xiaobai, and he had to make use of the rare good venue. They helped Xiaobai find different opponents, let him get used to it, and learn to formulate strategies for himself.


    According to statistics, if the success rate of tiger hunting is one-tenth, it is the top. If you want to fill your stomach, you have to miss again and again to get success. Especially for novices, Xiaobai has experienced many failures. Overestimate yourself and so on.


    But it is very smart, and it accumulates experience every time. More pursuits will consume energy and cause fatigue. In the next hunt, Xiaobai used a new strategy. Before that, it failed five times. Too much, already showing fatigue.


    It chose a very labor-saving ambush method this time. It entered the water in the lower reaches of the river. The river was cold, and it swam tens of meters to a position a little higher. The surrounding terrain was open, which was not conducive to tigers launching an ambush from the ground. Smart animals They all come to this safe place to find water.


    Xiaobai swam to the shore, the mud had already stained his body, and it was integrated with the environment. In addition, he sat still, and many birds who stayed there were unaware, and some almost landed on top of his head... Patience After a long wait, another group of cautious wild boars appeared.


    Before they get close to the river bank, they observe the surroundings and confirm that there are no natural enemies before they come to the river and bow their heads to drink water. Just when the prey was relaxing and immersed in another matter, Xiao Bai, who had been lurking for a long time, shot out like an arrow from the string, and the wild boar closest to it immediately retreated, and the surrounding wild boars fled.


    The prey was too close to the hunter, Xiaobai jumped onto the back of the wild boar without any effort, and opened his mouth to bite on its thick neck. This wild boar was bigger and more experienced than the one Xiaobai hunted last time. He didn''t fall to the ground immediately after staying, but spun around in place, trying to get out of the tiger''s mouth.


    Xiaobai couldn''t hold back the wild boar, but it didn''t let go of its teeth that were holding on to the wild boar''s neck. Open its mouth and bite the wild boar''s deadlier throat from below.


    The back and neck of wild boars are very thick, and it takes time and energy to subdue them, and they may even be injured by sharp fangs, so the clever Xiaobai chose another method��starting from the weak point, the throat can be Avoid the teeth, which can also be fatal quickly.


    A wild boar weighing more than two hundred catties has almost no chance of winning in a fight with a tiger weighing three hundred catties��even a young tiger is not something it can handle. After struggling a few times, the tiger''s throat was bitten off by one of the tiger''s canine teeth, easily ending its life and reducing it to dinner.


    An Feng sat in the distance and observed. After a few days of training in the real environment, Xiaobai has mastered skills that he would never learn in the greenhouse, and the success rate of hunting has also been increasing. Sometimes it is not hungry, but driven by instinct, and it needs to train itself.


    In order to protect the ecological balance of the surrounding area, An Feng suggested to start hunting with large numbers. Dead deer have always been the most in the United States. Xiaobai hunted them to test the timing and burst speed; the same is true for wild boars, but also You have to beware of the siege of the pigs, which is a test of both offense and defense; the wolves met once, but there was no conflict, and they ran away after Xiaobai roared a few times... This is also a deterrent skill.


    As for the rumored jaguar and brown bear, I haven��t seen it for several days. The jaguar��s whereabouts are weird, and Xiaobai has to track it specially to meet it, and the bear hibernates, so I can��t find where they are hiding. Here is the training ground, but it is not 100% close to the original land on the African land.


    An Feng felt that when he had time, he arranged for it to go to Africa to experience the real primitive.


    Look at tigers and lions fighting for hegemony on the prairie, or bravely fighting against a herd of bulls, and challenging elephants... It sounds like a passionate thing, and as one of the few tigers that can "go abroad for further study", it is also a symbol of qualifications and honor, worthy of its forehead The "King" on it.

 Chapter 325： sudden good news

    Chapter 325 Sudden good news


    An Feng stayed in the hunting ground for seven days. He didn''t arrange many activities for himself, and spent more time focusing on Xiaobai. In Joanna''s words, these few days belonged to him. Xiaobai is full of curiosity about the world, so they take him on adventures to accumulate life experience.


    Its most prominent this time is not the expected physique, but the learning ability. It is very smart, although it has not developed to the point where it can understand human speech, but it can learn simple instructions a few times, and it can draw inferences about the skills used in hunting. It went out hunting with An Feng and his friends, completely becoming the protagonist. Instead of hunting for prey with guns, everyone picked up binoculars to see how the tiger hunted.


    Very powerful, even a circus cannot train a tiger like this. When getting along with people, it is a smart and docile big cat, but it transforms itself in the wild. The indifferent and manic tiger presents two completely different sides. It sounds unbelievable, but after feeling it, you can''t object.


    As we were about to leave the hunting grounds, everyone was posing for photos with the amazing tiger, who was posing for the camera in a star-like way. There is also the mischievous appearance with the front paws on the shoulders and the mouth wide open to the head. It looks very scary, and the group photo is also very nervous. Fortunately, Xiaobai has already eaten.


    An Feng went to talk to Mike about something before leaving.


    During the few days of vacation, he talked with the governor''s secretary and the governor on the phone. It is no problem to apply for small-caliber shells, but the organizer needs to give a plan and list the benefits, such as the promotion of the local economy and the military education of the whole people... Anyway Officials need face-saving projects.


    Mike also talked about the revenue: "Based on the current financial statistics, we lost $300,000 at the shooting show, which is much less than the $700,000 last time. Just based on the business conditions of the two gun shops, no matter the customer Both traffic and sales have increased significantly.��


    "Good job! According to this trend, next time we should break even!" An Feng''s goal is simple - to be responsible for his own profits and losses.


    Mike nodded: "With moderate publicity and government support, we will make this event a big one."


    "Congratulations!" An Feng said.


    After the arrangements were made, everyone left by car. Houston also has flights back to China, and friends from China did not go back to California with them, and Wang Le had to go to New York for Christmas, so they said goodbye to each other in Austin. An Feng made a special trip to the GP company headquarters.


    The development of GP is still a miracle. Its two subsidiaries have grown substantially in four quarters. It is easy to live without rivals. If it goes well, GP Energy will be listed next year. The headquarters has increased its shareholding by 60% so far. Blood, whether it can pay back depends on the results of the listing.


    The ambition of GP Electronics has also been revealed. In addition to the computers for companies and enterprises, it has extended its claws to the field of microcomputers. Home PC processor products have already been released, and there are rumors that they will invade mobile phones and other mobile devices. The rumored Nokia is example.


    He heard reports from some assistants that the consortium has managed the business very well. Although there are competitors, the flames of commercial struggle have never stopped. They have caught three spies so far, but they are currently the ones who have the upper hand and are the ones who leaked the secrets. It never happened.


    "How did you deal with it?" An Feng was even more curious about the result. It is normal to have commercial espionage if the tree is big, but maybe there are government spies as well.


    Eve said: "The evidence that is going to be collected will be brought to the court to sue them. If there is no conclusive evidence, Mr. Hawley said that someone else will be responsible."


    "Aegis Security did a good job." An Feng said.


    Eve nodded: "They are indeed very professional, but a little too strict. Some departments want to complain that they hinder the normal work of the company."


    An Feng said: "Don''t pay attention to these people. If you are free, you might as well restrain yourself. If the security work is not in place, losing secrets will be a disaster."


    Eve said with a smile: "Mr. Hawley thinks so too. The discipline inspection department rejected the complaints on the grounds that they are not our company''s department."


    "This guy is smart." An Feng nodded, "By the way, what happened to the new computer department? Why was it empty when I came?"


    Eve said: "According to what Team Leader Song said, they don''t use the research room for the time being, and they have to change floors to study again. I have overheard a few times that they seem to be studying quantum physics. In addition to company employees, they have hired some part-time teachers University professors, doctoral supervisors, etc.��


    An Feng remembered that he asked for it, but he didn''t expect it to be so fierce, and the professors called it. It seems that he can say hello to Holly and relax their project funds. In fact, it is already very loose. As the core R&D department, basically the funds are less than one million yuan, and the application must be approved.


    An Feng went to see the "classroom" of the experts. He was very low-key and didn''t disturb others. He listened for ten minutes. At present, quantum theory has reached a deep level, but whether it is quantum communication or quantum computer, the most important thing is Technology rather than deep theory.


    Knowing that the situation is good, An Feng also fulfilled his duty of coming at least three times a year.


    ��


    Back to warm California, Christmas is approaching.


    Just when An Feng was preparing to celebrate Christmas with Joanna''s family this year, news came from the UK. It was an important email sent by Symonds, which contained the New Year''s Honors list announced by the Queen of England, which was less than in previous years. There are hundreds of outstanding people. But Joanna was on the list.


    This speed was unexpected. An Feng originally thought it would be in the second half of the year... He browsed the content carefully. This list is a draft and has not yet been announced. This type of Medal of Honor is issued most frequently.


    Joanna''s name is easy to find because she comes first.


    There is also a reason for her to be in the front, because the level awarded is high. The Order of the British Empire is divided into five levels, namely: Knight-level Grand Cross (GBE); Knight-level Commander (Male KBE/Female DBE), the focus is on These two, of course, there will be three levels of CBE, OBE, and MBE in the future.


    Among the five levels of the medal, only the first two levels can be considered knighthood, and the title of "Sir/Dame" can be added before their English names. Naturally, the number of awards it can be awarded is very small, as far as the highest GBE is concerned, there are about two to three awards each year.


    Those who were awarded GBEs were all very important people, or simply members of the royal family. Joanna was awarded the second level of DBEs. The number is not as small as GBEs, but it is also extremely rare. According to rumors, it is much less difficult for women to obtain the Order of Commander-in-Chief than men.


    Except that the winners of these two levels can be called "Jazz/Dame", the others are only honors. It happens that the number of the latter three levels is the largest. It is said that there is no limit to the number of MBE, but it can be increased by one year at most. More than a thousand. Its wide coverage can be seen.


    An Feng didn''t know much about it at the beginning. He thought that those who were honored were regarded as knights, but after Joanna revealed the truth, those people who were honored every year, including artists, singers, actors, etc., were all the latter three. level, there will be no intersection with the previous two levels.


    When Joanna and the Sassen family came back in the afternoon, he announced the good news.


    "Honey, it looks like we''ll have to spend New Years in England."


    "Why?" Joanna was puzzled.


    An Feng smiled and said: "According to my latest news, you are sure to be awarded a medal, and you have to go to England to participate in the award ceremony after the New Year."


    "Is this true?" Joanna was surprised, because there was no news for a long time, and they all thought that the arrangement would be next year.


    An Feng nodded: "The news Symonds gave me is indeed like this."


    "Which level is it?" Joanna asked.


    An Feng said: "Of course it is possible to add a title before your name."


    "DBE?" Joanna guessed, but she was sure in her heart, because besides it, there was only GBE, but this was almost unnecessary.


    "Exactly!"


    "Great!" She happily came over to hug him, "This news came so suddenly!"


    "But it''s a complete surprise, isn''t it?" An Feng smiled and let go of her.


    Kelly also said in surprise: "Congratulations, Joanna! I didn''t expect you to receive such a high honor, and we will all be proud of you!"


    Frank said: "Our family will always support you!"


    Only Andy was puzzled: "What is this?"


    Frank bowed his head and said to him: "We won''t spend Christmas here this year, how about going to Europe?"


    "Yeah!" Andy jumped three feet high, "I like vacations! My luxurious sea view room, basking in the sun and drinking coconut juice!"


    Joanna said, "Maybe we''re going to go skiing this year?"


    Andy also nodded: "It can barely be considered... It must be a wonderful thing to be able to breathe the air outside! Joanna, I love you!"


    "Me too! Little guy!" Joanna pinched his fat face.


    The honors will be awarded after the new year, but the time has not been determined yet. It may be in January and February. Considering that DBE is more important, it should be in the front, probably in January. Referring to the last time Bazel was made a baronet, he was alone and at the top of the line.


    There will be an announcement in a few days, now they need to think about vacation arrangements.


    The plan to spend Christmas in the United States of course had to be cancelled. According to the democratic vote, all five people agreed that Christmas should be simple, and the most important thing is to go to play... A family who loves traveling can''t afford to be hurt. An Feng said that he can go anywhere, and this time he is responsible for the whole cost.


    After some discussion, there is no need to go to England so early and wait, you can go to some other places first, and Andy recommends a sunny beach, Kelly hopes it is quiet, and Frank suggests skiing, An Feng likes to have many For VIP service, Joanna only asks to be on time.


    An Feng glanced across everyone''s faces: "It seems that we have great differences."


    Frank said: "Take a compromise, take into account the most."


    Finally, everyone thought about it and decided to go to Switzerland!


    First of all, Switzerland must be very quiet, with blue sky and white clouds and a quiet world. An Feng has long wanted to go to that land favored by God to live for a few days, which is also in line with Kelly''s idea; secondly, Switzerland is definitely able to ski, and it will be more lively when Christmas is approaching; In the end, the VIP service that Anfeng hopes for is naturally available in developed countries.


    Joanna''s punctuality is not considered at all��because it is inevitable.


    Choosing Switzerland is in the interests of most people��except for the bear children. After An Feng promised to take him to the private island to enjoy the sea breeze and swim in the future, he agreed with the idea with both hands, and said that he actually likes quietness, skiing and punctuality the most... Look at this fickle little traitor!

 Chapter 326： Queens Honors

    Chapter 326 Commendation by the Queen


    After finishing the plan, act immediately. Everyone��s passport is very convenient, and the plane is also private. Even during the peak tourist season around Christmas, it is not too troublesome for them. They apply for the route and leave the next day. Leisure and vacation arrangements are discussed on the plane.


    An Feng likes Switzerland very much. When it comes to it, his impression is the picturesque pastoral life, the fresh and green nature, and the snow-white Alps that can be seen all year round. In the melodious sound of cowbells, he bites the mellow chocolate , feel the local people''s love for life.


    After the private plane landed in Zurich, they didn��t stop there. They rented a sedan with enough rest and energy, and drove to Interlaken, which is more than 100 kilometers away, aiming at the world-famous ski resort��Jungfrau region . There are several luxury ski resorts in the surrounding area.


    The distance is not too far, but the driving speed is not fast. The scenery on the road is beautiful. Every time I come to Switzerland, I can see the verdant green peaks and the looming leisure cabins on the mountainside. No matter in spring, summer, autumn or winter, this greenery always lasts forever . This time An Feng saw the details.


    The neat and green grass on the hillsides on both sides of the road does not grow naturally, but someone drives a lawn mower to repair and maintain it regularly. Reminiscent of the landscapes all over Switzerland, it seems that the Swiss are as meticulous about details as the Germans.


    Stopping and watching along the way, every piece of idle land will be filled with grass and cleaned regularly, whether it is in the city or in the suburbs, there are lawns everywhere, and all kinds of flowers are growing to their heart''s content. Even the land next to the airport runway is loved. The natural swiss is furnished with grass.


    ��


    In addition to leisure and viewing, it is skiing.


    There are many ski resorts around the Jungfraujoch, which are very well-known. Unfortunately, An Feng is a beginner. I heard that Frank''s and Kelly''s skills are very high, and they can control advanced ski trails. Joanna is okay, and she can also play on intermediate ski trails. Andy can slide the elementary ones with ease.


    You can''t play happily if you fall behind. An Feng is taught by his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he has a very good learning ability. After a few days, although he did not reach the dazzling level, he at least memorized various postures and was able to keep a balance on the slide. .


    "Look at me!" An Feng did not forget to show off after learning a little bit. He also interpreted the challenging atmosphere of the alpine ski trails by him. He stepped on the skis and held the ski poles in both hands. Sliding down the snow slope, Joanna followed and stared.


    To be honest, the speed of rushing down is quite scary. The speed is very high. Although there is soft snow all around and the snow track is spacious, you don��t have to worry about bumping into people. However, Anfeng has fallen no less than 30 times a few days ago. There are all postures, and up to now, I have been able to maintain the state of falling sideways.


    "Turn ahead, slow down!" Joanna reminded.


    "Understood!" An Feng bowed his waist and leaned forward. A major challenge for beginners in skiing is turning. They usually cannot maintain balance and cannot turn. The corner is a typical "high fall area", with high speed, hard fall, and concentrated area. He''s going to take the turn this time around.


    An Feng meditated on the slow speed. The most commonly used method for primary cornering is the plow brake, that is, the inner eight-character brake. The upper body is relaxed, the ski pole is held in hand, the head is lowered in front of the body, the ski pole hangs behind the body, and the center of gravity of the body is on the front foot. , the inside of the ski is slightly raised to increase resistance.


    When the speed slows down, he will start the primary turn. When sliding on the snow, the center of gravity changes, and the direction of sliding will also change. , the sliding direction is to the right.


    There was a left turn ahead, and An Feng put his weight on his right leg. It looked like he was going to run to the right, but in fact the skis turned to the left, which was a little different from normal walking. This time An Feng passed the curve relatively smoothly, and what greeted him was a spacious downhill section.


    "Yeah! Huh!" An Feng cheered. During the past few days of practice, this time he passed the curve more handsomely. The one in front either rolled over or fell over. Even Andy was able to pass slowly. If you don''t make progress, you won''t be able to hold your head up in front of the brat in the future.


    "Attention, there is still a bend ahead!" Joanna reminded him.


    "No problem, see how I can conquer it!" An Feng said confidently, speeding up, leaning forward, with his upper body lying on his knees, with two ski poles clamped under his armpits, he accelerated forward, the movement was very smooth The standard is cool, but when it comes to corners, cool doesn''t help him.


    I also boasted before, this time I did not grasp the center of gravity when I was cornering, and I insisted on being handsome, the knees were too tight together, the angle of the two skis was not well controlled, the premonition was bad, and it was too late to brake, the front of the skis crossed, the only result It''s just a hard fall.


    Fortunately, An Feng has mastered the trick of letting himself fall sideways instead of landing head-on. He fell to the ground in a regular manner. The snow was flying, and some of it fell into his clothes. It was minus twenty degrees, and he grinned in the cold: " Oh God! Joanna, come and save me! It''s freezing!"


    Joanna, who stopped in front of him, smiled: "I just reminded you to tighten your clothes, why don''t you always remember?"


    "Tightening it up is not good for breathing." An Feng sat on the ground, took off his ski gloves, reached into the waistband of his trousers, and pulled out Bai Xue.


    Joanna slid over to help him clean up the snow that fell on his clothes and neck, and said, "Then next time you wear a one-piece ski suit."


    "Looks like it is!" An Feng said.


    After cleaning up, Joanna stretched out her hand to pull him up, and said, "Come with me this time, follow the steps and methods, and don''t be handsome!"


    "Obey!" An Feng said honestly, usually within ten minutes after a fall is the best time to educate him, especially for a long memory.


    "Let''s go!" Joanna skating ahead, An Feng followed behind.


    I learned from her a few times back and forth, and my proficiency became higher. Later, I came back with confidence. I took the cable car up the mountain, met the parents of the bear children, and agreed to slide down from the top. The two parents rated the performance of the three children. After the preparations were over, it started. An Feng scrambled to be the first.


    The speed of skiing lies in skill and courage, not in running faster than anyone else on the ground. An Feng braked frequently and couldn''t catch up. With the encouragement of Frank and Kelly behind him, he felt that it was necessary to use some tricks to save face, and then in S Succeeded in the curved corner...Keep everyone down!


    An Feng looked at the few who had been knocked down by him, and smiled sarcastically: "Hi...I want to say that I didn''t do it on purpose!"


    "Teach him!" Joanna grabbed a ball of snow on the ground, rolled it into a snowball, and threw it at him.


    The bear kid also grabbed two small snowballs and threw them at him.


    "Hey! Stop! Stop! I won''t be polite if you come again!" An Feng covered his head with one hand, and grabbed snowballs on the ground with the other to fight back. Soon, the two parents who followed also joined the battle circle. There was a snowball fight on the spot, and every tourist who passed the bend was overjoyed.


    ��


    I lived in Switzerland for seven or eight days. Basically, it was either skiing or leisure. The days were very leisurely. Most of the holidays that people hoped for came true. Even An Feng had a VIP addiction, using snowmobiles to have fun around, and charter Give everyone a good time to play for half a day.


    By the end of the month, they head to England.


    Lived in An Feng''s apartment. The house was very spacious, but there were only two rooms. After everyone''s democratic vote, the bear child slept on the sofa��the reason was that he didn''t have a female companion, so he could make do with it. Andy was very wronged, and he didn''t smile until the next day when he stuffed his mouth with seafood in the hotel.


    An Feng smiled: "Bears are easy for children to deal with!"


    The Queen''s New Year''s Honors list has been announced. Joanna''s arrangement is relatively early, in the middle of January, and everyone can catch up. Andy''s primary school does not start until late January, so this time the whole family can go to Buckingham Palace to watch the Queen Award her a medal.


    Give Joanna a high-level "Jewel Commander Medal" on the grounds that she has made contributions to national defense and played a leading role in charity. Not many people know about the former point, and the exoskeleton is a state secret, but the donation of 100 million U.S. dollars in the next year is easy to find out.


    For this honor, some people applaud and support those who create charitable deeds, but there are also people who have a sour mouth. Many people have been busy all their lives, and their hair is gray to get the medal, or the last three levels, without the honor of jazz. Joanna was young Get it, it makes people dissatisfied.


    But no matter how you say it, the royal family will not change their decision easily. The awarding of the Medal of Honor already carried a bit of the royal family''s personal feelings. After all, Joanna came from aristocratic background, and the family had made contributions. It was only natural for the Queen to reward their only direct descendants.


    The news media is happy to hear about it, because the female boss of Liverpool has reported something new. Before being made a dame, someone summarized Joanna''s recent public appearances, including the American horse racing event in October, which gave a lot of impressions. Less space to tell.


    Under this kind of attention, she kept a low profile, participated in the New Year celebration, watched the New Year''s parade with her family, and walked around some surrounding areas. She managed to deal with Joanna''s former housekeeper. For a certain reason, the old butler also looked at the face of the former countess.


    Mr. Brandon promised them that he would go to the United States in the near future, select and train servants for them, and assess licensed British butlers. He would not retire until he selected a suitable role. Although not permanent, this is already a good result.


    A few days later, Joanna attended the award ceremony.


    Considering that the royal family pays attention to tradition, she appeared in a very standard lady''s formal attire, a slim suit jacket, a knee-length skirt, some jewelry, and a pair of shoes with low heels. Accompanied by her husband and family members, she came to the solemn Palace, accepting the queen''s award.


    The magnificent palace has a solemn atmosphere, with a red carpet on the ground. The gray-haired Queen of England is holding the sword of the monarch and standing on the steps. Joanna is half-kneeling, and the queen gently taps her shoulder with the long sword. the meaning of. Typical medieval monarchy conferring tradition.


    Following the queen wearing the medal for her, when the ceremony was almost over, the old lady chatted with her, and Joanna also smiled, and her voice was not loud, but it could be heard that the old lady knew very well about Joanna''s family and also Give her a high evaluation and give her encouragement.


    An Feng, who was watching the ceremony, also felt emotional in his heart. After working so hard for so long, he finally got a good reward. In the declining Britain, the "tradition" is still worth a little money, and it''s hard to say anything else. If Joanna was not from the UK, An Feng would not be bothered to expend so much energy on this matter.


    But now it seems that the title of the youngest dame is also a beautiful thing.


    At least An Feng felt that there was light on his face.


    Leaving after the ceremony, Joanna and her family hugged and congratulated them. The joy was written all over her face. She didn''t even avoid the lens of the camera. She generously took pictures of them, stopped for a while, and finally left in a low-key manner. Today''s information is enough for editors to use their literary talent.

 Chapter 327： cruise ship maiden voyage [big

    Chapter 327 Cruise ship''s maiden voyage [big chapter]


    All walks of life in England pay a lot of attention to her. As the youngest dame in the UK, she is also the owner of the Premier League giants and a philanthropist. The news inevitably mentions a few words to catch up with the trend. This year, a philanthropist was also honored, and some people want to analyze why she is special than others.


    Some people say that Joanna made a huge contribution, and Britain, which is steadily declining, needs such people to stand up and lead by example; some people think that family background is more important, and if an ordinary civilian does the same thing, the result will definitely be different. Also slightly dissatisfied with the unfairness of the royal family.


    Joanna, as the party concerned, does not express any opinions to the outside world. She is as low-key as those nobles. But the Elizabeth Foundation announced the good news on the social network, and attached a few photos of the Queen holding a sword and patting half-kneeling Joanna, expressing their congratulations and congratulations to the Dame.


    Facts have proved that Joanna has many supporters, retweets and comments were once popular, and countless netizens congratulated and congratulated her. Retweets, favorites, and ups and downs, I am afraid that some celebrities'' activity photos and selfies are not necessarily Can be so hot, but she did it.


    As a non-public figure, this is extremely rare.


    The next day there was an analysis: one is the image, just like Princess Diana back then, she looks very pleasing; The sustenance; the last is wealth, and most of the world advocates wealth.


    In general, rich, beautiful, good background and positive energy have contributed to the status quo.


    In Chinese, Joanna is popular, but they are all positive images, and a large proportion of "fans" support them. They don''t care about young and insiders. The dead British royal family needs this kind of active public. Nobles It''s time to come out of the castle to bask in the sun, too.


    As a result, Joanna went to the street the next day and was recognized by sharp-eyed people. Although there was no celebrity sensation, it was always unavoidable to face congratulations and small requests for group photos. In the end, the bodyguards rescued them on the grounds of lack of time. When you go to the street later, you really have to dress up seriously.


    Britain can''t stay, so they just go home, at least the Americans don''t care about these. An Feng took the freshly baked dame on the plane and returned to California, continuing the sunny days with blue sky and white clouds. Meanwhile, the Queen''s commercial maiden voyage is imminent.


    When the cruise ship was delivered at the end of November, Ocean Shipping was already making preparations, including on-board service personnel, layout and decoration of various restaurants, brand stores, cruise ship route planning, etc. They strive to make their official commercial maiden voyage within one month after the cruise ship docks.


    It is now January and the maiden voyage is imminent.


    An Feng notified his friends of the news and invited them to participate in the maiden voyage of the world''s largest and most luxurious cruise ship.


    Because the time is very appropriate, around Christmas happens to be the holidays for Westerners. The peak season of tourism is the same in China. The traditional Spring Festival is about to usher in, and most people are on vacation. As soon as An Feng shouted out the slogan, countless people responded, all expressing their desire to participate in the most luxurious journey.


    There are a lot of acquaintances, and the parents and sister''s family from China are naturally indispensable. It is a memorable maiden voyage ceremony. In addition, Xiangyang and his wife were also present, to give themselves a vacation, and to meet the maiden voyage of the world''s largest cruise ship, an opportunity not to be missed. Yu Hao and Ye Ning, whom they met in China, also brought friends.


    There are more overseas ones. Roger and Miranda reserved seats as early as when the cruise ship was built. Two years later, they must not be absent; Bazel''s family will also be there, and if Matthew''s wife is not pregnant, he will also be there. Attend. In the end his daughter Catherine came to play with her boyfriend.


    This is just An Feng''s circle of friends, and there are quite a few of them including Joanna.


    As a commemorative maiden voyage, and out of respect for the big boss of the consortium, GP invested millions of dollars and aggressively reserved 1,000 places. Our new year reward: an eight-day tour of the Caribbean on an ultra-luxury cruise ship.


    The name of the world''s largest and most luxurious cruise ship is very attractive, and it has been mentioned in American and foreign media. In the UK, the Elizabeth Foundation also promoted it on Facebook and Twitter. Attached are a few more pictures of the Queen Joanna.


    Then some European tourists also booked boat tickets.


    An Feng also invited Gu Li and his friends to participate. It��s not good to work hard all day long. Only by adjusting occasionally can you have a better state. He also considered that there are too many important people and too much influence, so he must pay attention to the protection of privacy and security. It is obviously safer to have professionals present.


    The safety work of the cruise ship is contracted to Aegis Security. There are 6,000 tourists and more than 2,000 waiters. They will enjoy eight days of luxurious life at sea. Safety work is especially important. Occasionally there will be conflicts, such as drunken quarrels and the like Yes, the security guards can handle it properly.


    After getting the invitation, Guli joked, "Will you be paid?"


    An Feng said: "How about booking a luxury suite for free?"


    "Then I should bring a few more friends." Gu Li said.


    "Report the list to me before departure. This time there are too many friends, so we need to make careful arrangements." An Feng said straightforwardly.


    "OK."


    A week before the maiden voyage of the cruise ship, all the tickets have been booked out, among them, it is estimated that there are more than 2,000 people related to An Feng or Joanna��the GP company has 1,000 places, and the research center is also on vacation. The same goes for boat tickets, Bida, rewarding employees, assets under An Feng, wineries, etc... People he knows or knows indirectly account for 33% of the number of tourists.


    After getting the list of hundreds of people, An Feng began to think about how to arrange it.


    He originally planned to invite friends and relatives free of charge, but most of them refused. The first voyage is a good sign, and paying is equivalent to supporting An Feng. The only requirement is to keep the good room��Specifically Suite, crowded environment is not what rich people want.


    He couldn''t figure it out, so he handed over the job to the company.


    In the end, I was very professional. According to the status of the guests, the size of the family and their preferences, all the suites on the cruise ship were properly arranged. There are also many types of suites. The royal suite is over 100 square meters, the family suite is about 80 square meters, and the standard is only 30 square meters.


    Cruise ships are mainly for fun, and the living space is not large. Like an ordinary room, it is only a dozen square meters, but although the sparrow is small and complete, it rarely stays in the room when sailing at sea, and there are too many things to play. A huge cruise ship, to be honest, a short journey cannot be fully experienced.


    ��


    Late January, Florida.


    The cruise ship is going to set sail at two o''clock this afternoon, and you can board at noon.


    The "Queen Joanna" docked at Fort Lauderdale, 30 kilometers away from Miami. The local area has a deep-water port that can berth hundreds of thousands of tons of giant ships, including the former world''s largest cruise ship "Ocean Charm". The weather was fine on the day of departure, and the two cruise ships docked side by side.


    This scene is very spectacular. Many tourists are taking photos of the two super cruise ships. The difference of 5,000 tons more than the Queen is obvious. Its body is slightly wider than the other cruise ship, and its length is four meters longer. It successfully took the world''s largest cruise ship. The title of the cruise ship. It is estimated to last at least three years.


    Even if you start ordering a cruise ship now, it will take two or three years from design to construction. Therefore, during this period of time, no one can shake the Queen''s title of the world''s number one. For a shipping company, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity for publicity. Tourists naturally prefer the biggest and most luxurious.


    After lunch, An Feng called his friends.


    There are so many bigwigs here, so naturally we can��t keep a low profile. Before boarding the ship, the VIP guests have already gathered, and the dedicated waiters will help with luggage check-in, ship card handling and other consulting services. An Feng is in charge of counting the heads, and after confirming that everyone is present, board the ship first.


    And the cruise ship is also ready.


    The general manager personally spoke to the waiters and the manager of the suite, because among the first batch of 122 people, there were not only VIP guests, but also some VVIPs, such as Dame Joanna, the ship was named after her, and her husband Ann , as well as the aristocrats from the UK and the super rich in the United States.


    This group of people directly booked the suites of the cruise ship, and the cruise ship also specially set up waiters to entertain them, guaranteeing absolute super five-star service, especially when the ship owner is present, it must be as perfect as possible, and there must be no mistakes or mistakes. Oolong.


    These waiters are not newbies. Some of them were transferred from the Sapphire cruise ship, and they are familiar with high-end reception. Everyone took their seats. Under the leadership of the captain, general manager and other department heads, welcome the first batch of cruise ship guests. Prologue to business operations.


    ��


    An Feng stepped into the cruise ship, and the cruise service was ready.


    They first came to the fifth deck, which is also the welcome area of ??the cruise ship, the most luxuriously decorated area. Now there are only waiters and VIP guests who are ready. The atrium on the fifth floor occupies the height of the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors, and there is a huge skylight above the head, which allows the sunlight from the eighth deck to shine down.


    The atrium is paved by a 200-meter-long luxurious road, named "Queen''s Boulevard". On both sides of the street, there are a full range of luxury goods, leather goods, perfume, clothing stores, or souvenir shops, and coffee shops. The ground is paved with marble floor tiles. There are restaurants on the sixth and seventh floors on both sides, and there are crystal stairs next to it. Standing on the dazzling and shining crystal stairs, you can look at the splendor and luxury on both sides of Queen''s Road, which is highly respected.


    Tourists walk around the heavily built Queen''s Avenue, and they are full of praise.


    "Turn on the crystal chandelier overhead at night, and this place will become a bustling commercial street in the city. There are all the shops, restaurants, and bars you need." An Feng introduced them, "But it''s suitable for coming at night. Let''s go to the first The eighth floor corresponds to the daytime style."


    Take the sightseeing elevator up, still immersed in the luxury of Queen''s Road, suddenly changes in front of you.


    There are three atriums on the eighth floor, all of which are open-air. The largest one in the middle is planted with flowers and green trees to receive sunlight, and there are machines simulating insects and birds singing. There are restaurants and shops on both sides. The ninth and tenth floors are more viewing rooms with small balconies for tourists who like to be lively.


    The atrium is like a small park, next to it is a towering and dense residential area. It feels like New York Central Park surrounded by high-rise buildings. There are also bridges, fountains, pavilions, and a few leisure chairs. Read books in your spare time... But with so much excitement on board, it''s rare to be idle.


    None of the three atriums on the eighth floor is as opulent as the Queen��s Road on the fifth floor. It is relatively fresh and quiet. You can enjoy a cup of afternoon tea or coffee quietly at the open-air dining table during the day, and chat with friends; That is the hardest hit area of ??corruption and consumption.


    The fifth floor and the eighth floor have their own strengths, representing the night and day of the cruise ship. As an ultra-luxury cruise ship, it is known as a palace on the sea. There are day and night, and naturally sunshine and waves are indispensable. After the visit, they went to the fifteenth deck, which is the top floor of the cruise ship, completely open to the air.


    An Feng specifically said to the brats in the team: "You didn''t enjoy the sunny beach days last time, let''s make up for it here this time!"


    Andy cheered: "Great!"


    He also called Xiaoyu: "We''ll go play the water slide later."


    "Of course." Xiaoyu Yingwen replied, the girl can say something simple after a lot of contacts.


    There are many seawater and freshwater swimming pools on the fifteenth floor. You can sunbathe by the pool, or lie down on the fence of the cruise ship and watch the sea leisurely. In the most spacious area in the middle, a water playground is set up, with water slides and slides installed, sliding down from the highest point of the deck, winding and circling, up to hundreds of meters long.


    The middle area is dominated by water and leisure. Passing through it, the front end is a leisure area and a lookout, and there is also an indoor leisure pool for tourists who like quietness. Looking up from the observation deck, it is the "tourist stop" area of ??the cruise ship, and the No. 1 suite is in the best position above the head.


    It dominates the front and the highest point, showing the specialness of the owner everywhere.


    At the stern, there is also a building with the same height as Suite 1, but with a larger area, semicircular, like a flying saucer, surrounded by glass curtain walls. It is the big casino on the cruise ship, divided into two floors, where all the popular gaming items are concentrated, and small gambling is staged here every day.


    There is a bar on the 14th floor below the casino. Anfeng didn''t advertise it, but everyone learned from the manual that it was the 18th forbidden area. After the ship sailed into the open sea, there would be a wonderful striptease show. Catering to the capital vibe��casinos and strip bars are always a must.


    There is a huge platform at the stern, which is very spacious. There are two nine-hole golf courses, a basketball court, a badminton court, and a children''s entertainment center. There are many cartoons and cute items, which can entertain children of different ages. . After that is the viewing platform.


    Looking down from the observation deck, the eighth deck at the stern is an open-air seawater theater, with performances day and night, water ballet, high diving, or water movies. The designer did not spare the space, and the side became a rock climbing area, with a height of at least 20 meters on the seventh floor, which can make rock climbing lovers enjoy themselves.


    What''s more exciting is that there are two ziplines at the stern, which can slide down from the sixteenth floor to the eighth floor at high speed.


    It took more than an hour to visit the three large areas. According to the introduction of the cruise ship guide, this is only 30% of the content. The opera house, cinema, or bars on the sixth and seventh floors, entertainment clubs, and the ground floor are located below the fifth floor. The skating rink, etc., all need to be explored.


    If you play carefully, eight days is definitely not enough, and fifteen days may just be enough.


    Just looking at it along the way, you can see the strong interest on everyone''s face. They are already making plans and asking the guide next to them how to make an appointment for service��there are too many people on board, such as some theaters and high-end restaurants. Reservations are required in advance. Otherwise, you will not be ranked.


    Other guests also began to arrive. Since it was the first commercial voyage of the Queen, everything was strange and novel. No tourists had experienced it before, and they all walked around with full expectations. Exploring the sixteen decks was like a small City capacity sea juggernaut.


    After all tourists board the ship, they are required to participate in a safety drill, familiarize themselves with the life-saving tools on the cruise ship, and beware of it. VIP guests are no exception, because the danger will never have the "habit" of avoiding VIP. All participated in the half-hour exercise.


    After the exercise, the cruise ship is about to go to sea.


    An Feng invited friends to the viewing platform outside Suite 1, occupying a good position to enjoy the scenery.


    Located at the highest point, you can see the scenery around Fort Lauderdale Harbor at a glance. Five or six super cruise ships are moored. The deep-water port is generally a cruise ship with a capacity of more than 150,000 tons. The former and the current largest cruise ship in the world are separated by two piers. The contrast between high and low is very strong.


    Slowly, the cruise ship left the port.


    The heavy whistle rang through the sky, and the dispatch of this huge beast could be felt within a dozen kilometers around. Tourists came to the railing one after another, looking at the coastline of Miami and the beautiful villas on the shore. The sharp-eyed Joanna also found their villa and beach.


    There are even some old men and old ladies in luxury villas sitting leisurely on the lawn, waving to the tourists with smiles on their faces, and the tourists waved back enthusiastically. On the towering cruise ship, looking at the small figures below, the friendly greetings hundreds of meters apart are very interesting.


    In this warm atmosphere, the cruise ship left the city and headed for the embrace of the blue sky and sea.

 Chapter 328： Luxury Journey (Part 1)

    Chapter 328 Luxury Journey (Part 1)


    The cruise ship is far away from the city, and the excitement of sailing has also come to an end, and the tourists gradually dispersed.


    After An Feng sent out the invitation to the dinner, the friends also said goodbye one by one.


    Then An Feng took his parents and sister''s family to find a room. Although I knew it was on the tenth floor, it was very difficult to find a room like a maze in a large cruise ship that was more than 300 meters long and tens of meters wide. In the end, I used the simplest method, asked the waiter to ask, and was led there in person.


    Dad said with emotion: "I didn''t expect this ship to be able to do so many tricks, and even take the elevator into consideration."


    An Feng smiled and said: "Your suite is at the bow, and we are now close to the stern, 300 meters apart. Next time you find the serial number before taking the elevator, you can go directly to the room. By the way, remember to take it with you wherever you go. Ship card, which is equal to room card, bank card, meal ticket and admission ticket.��


    Brother-in-law said to Xiaoyu who took the card: "Give me the ship card quickly, don''t lose it."


    Xiaoyu held a few boat cards in his hand, and looked at An Feng: "Uncle, can it eat ice cream?"


    An Feng nodded: "Of course. There are many cold drink shops on the fifth and eighth floors, and there are also cafeterias. Most of them are free."


    "I want to eat a lot!" Xiaoyu jumped up and down excitedly.


    My sister reminded: "It''s not summer, so don''t eat too much."


    Xiaoyu shook her head: "No, uncle said that 365 days at sea is summer, that is, when eating ice cream!"


    An Feng laughed because of her cuteness, but his mother blamed her: "You just teach the children indiscriminately, what should you do if you want to eat like last year and get sick again?"


    An Feng put away his smile: "Isn''t there a hospital on board? If you have a stomachache, go to the doctor to get a buttock injection. First, you will get two injections on the left and right buttocks, and then you can lie down for a day."


    The elder sister said to the little girl at this time: "Do you still dare to eat?"


    "A little bit." She gestured with her hands and said without giving up.


    ��


    Cruise ships are different from hotels. They are mainly for fun, and the living area is less than 40%. Most of them are on the sixth to tenth floors. An Feng arranged two luxury suites for them, with private living room, balcony, bathroom and VIP service.


    The specifications of the two suites are the same, with an area of ??about 50 square meters. Compared with the small balconies of other sea view rooms, the balcony of the suite can really be called a balcony. It is about 10 square meters. There is a table and indoor plants, which will be taken care of by waiters every day . The room was cleaned three times on time.


    An Feng explained to them the use of smart TV, checking personal bills, and making reservations for restaurants, theaters or events. In addition, there are some satellite channels, which can relieve boredom. However, it is estimated that no one takes a cruise just to watch TV.


    "There is a Chinese restaurant on the eighth floor. Parents, if you are not used to Western food, you can try it. There must be Chinese-speaking restaurants there. There are many restaurants. The cafeteria is recommended on the top floor. The location by the window is good and you can see the sea. .As for the others, I am also a novice and am not familiar with them.��


    "We will explore by ourselves." Dad said confidently, holding a Chinese travel guidebook in his hand.


    My mother also said: "Don''t underestimate us, we can speak English."


    An Feng said with a smile: "Okay, you two enjoy yourself, the five-star service on board, if you don''t understand anything, you can consult the waiter."


    ��


    Follow An Feng and drop in to say hello to some friends.


    Passing by the door of a royal suite, I met Khalid with sunglasses on his face, wearing a white shirt, and embracing an Arab mixed-race beauty.


    "Hi, Khaled!" An Feng greeted him with high fives and hugs.


    Khaled introduced his new female companion, Hasna... No wonder he didn''t show up just now, and he kept his sunglasses on before boarding the boat. It turned out that he hooked up with the idol of the people, and was worried that he would be recognized and beaten... An Feng speculated maliciously in his heart , Khalid also seemed to see the clue, and smiled.


    "OK, you guys continue!" An Feng said with a smile, not being a light bulb, "Are you interested in coming to the dinner party tonight? We are all acquaintances and friends."


    "I will," Khaled said.


    An Feng said goodbye to him, and returned to the top floor. After the cruise ship left Miami, it was surrounded by the blue sky and ocean. The weather was warm, and the swimming pool and water entertainment items on the top floor immediately became popular. Roger and Wang Le were also there. After beckoning him to go into the water, An Feng went back to change his clothes.


    Back to the top floor, the waiter opened the door, An Feng walked in and his eyes widened: "Wow!"


    In the hall, there are six or seven girls in cool bikinis gathered together to drink and chat, and there are a few more in the swimming pool at the front. They are lively and fragrant. Even if it is an upright gentleman like An Feng, he can''t help but glance over. , Joanna came over: "We''re having a girlfriends swimsuit party."


    "It can be seen." An Feng said, waving fingers and playfully greeting several ladies.


    "Do you... want to participate?" Joanna said with her arms around him.


    "No! Go ahead." An Feng shook his head resolutely. He was not fooled. With his wife present, no matter how beautiful she is, she can only say she has a bit of temperament.


    "Enjoy it!" An Feng kissed her forehead, walked to the second floor, changed into a swimsuit and left.


    Joanna and a group of girlfriends gathered around, chattering: "Mr. An is in good shape, why don''t you keep him?"


    Joanna smiled: "He is my husband."


    Isabella raised her legs charmingly: "That''s why we have to test his character. Is he a good husband?"


    "You have so many bad ideas, but I believe he can." Joanna said.


    "What if?" they said.


    "It wasn''t his initiative either," Joanna said.


    "I envy you." Isabella said, "I haven''t seen any conflicts between you after marriage, and you always post about your happiness. If only I could do the same."


    Another voice said: "Is it because you always have tricks to satisfy him and make him want to leave?"


    "No." She smiled and shook her head.


    "Teach us?" they said.


    "No." She smiled.


    "How dare you say no? Come here quickly!" They pulled Joanna into the crowd and made a fuss.


    An Feng outside also found the joy of playing with his second-hand friends��climbing to a place six or seven meters above the deck, calling for the most exciting one. After drilling into the slide, the group rushed down from above, passed through three turns, rushed out of a short section of the slide, and fell into the water screaming across hundreds of meters.


    Followed by someone shouting: "Where are my swimming trunks!"


    An Feng looked at the pants floating in the distance, and just like other friends, he smiled unconscionably.


    ��


    At 5:30 in the afternoon, An Feng returned from the water battle.


    The dinner party is at half past seven, and Joanna is getting ready now.


    For the hostess, it is naturally the top service of the cruise ship. She has dedicated stylists, masseuses, beauticians and fitness trainers. The butler will also considerately handle every request of them, including living habits, and make unique arrangements. Guaranteed comfort throughout.


    When An Feng came back, she was taking a bath in the most spacious bathroom. He himself didn''t have such high demands, so he changed into cool clothes, went to the viewing platform to find a chair to lie down, turned his head and said to the housekeeper who followed: " Please bring me a glass of orange juice, chilled, and remind me in thirty minutes."


    "Arrange immediately, sir." said the butler.


    An Feng drank the juice and felt the sea breeze for a while. Considering the comfort of passengers, the cruise ship generally maintains a sailing speed of around 22 knots, which is not fast, and it is difficult to feel its movement, and the general wind and waves do not affect it. After all, it is a monster of 230,000 tons.


    Thirty minutes later, the housekeeper reminded him on time.


    An Feng went back to take a shower, and the housekeeper asked, "Do you need any special styling advice, sir?"


    "Okay, I''m going to attend a formal dinner tonight." An Feng said.


    When he came out of the shower, the costume suggestions for the dinner party had already been issued. An Feng considered several options and chose a more solemn black. There are not many choices for men in this regard, but women are different. Joanna brought eight sets of dresses, Lots of jewelry. I''m accepting a proposal from a stylist.


    Finally, she settled on a backless black dress with a skirt that just reached the floor, elegant but not cumbersome.


    Joanna took a few steps in the living room, and the butler reminded her intimately: "There are still thirty minutes before the dinner. Ma''am, do you need some refreshments?"


    Joanna happened to be a little hungry, so she nodded, "A little biscuits and mineral water."


    The butler ordered the service staff in the suite to do it, and he added more conditions. First, the biscuits should be softer, don��t add too many ingredients, and don��t have other fragrances. Madam will definitely speak and smile when she attends the banquet later, and her lips and teeth must be kept clean; Mineral water can''t be casual, glass bottles are more advanced, considering the evening and water temperature, he asked that it must return to normal temperature after leaving the low-temperature snow storage area and delivering it to Mrs.


    The waiter team operates flexibly. After complicated procedures, there are five or six kinds of biscuits in a stack. Mineral water is disassembled on site and served in a crystal cup. In the end, the lady ate only a biscuit and drank a sip of mineral water. If she doesn''t touch it within half an hour, it has to be disposed of.


    Joanna didn''t continue to eat. When the time was about to come, she set off holding her husband''s arm, and there was someone beside her carrying a handbag. There were also some lipsticks and the like in it, but I probably wouldn''t need it. It was purely for decoration, but this is a super five-star Details are essential - what if the wife wants to use it?


    ��


    After six o''clock is dinner time.


    The dinner task for 6,000 tourists is very heavy, and it will be carried out according to the two time slots of 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm. Without exception, super five-star cruise ships pay the most attention to food and treatment, and the standard is: to ensure that guests walk on the wall. After a journey, I will be sorry for the delicious food if I don��t gain five or six pounds.


    The banquet An Feng attended was a fee-paying restaurant located on the eighth floor. It is not open to the public today because it has been booked out. Now dozens of polite gentlemen and elegant ladies are in place. There are not enough waiters in the restaurant, and the cruise ship also specially dispatched special personnel to assist.


    The dinner is in Western style, but considering the nature of the trip, the restaurant has simplified the steps to make the atmosphere more free and lively. With the list of appointments, everyone was led to their seats by the waiter. The cocktail party is canceled and there will be a small dance after the dinner.


    Western rich people think more about banquets and clothing. The culture handed down makes formal banquets a visual feast. The same gentlemen are setting off the ladies in all kinds of extravagant dresses. More focus is on women.


    After the manager who presided over the banquet made a few simple speeches, he invited the hostess to speak on stage.


    Applause at the scene, eyes focused on Joanna.


    She stood up abruptly, walked onto the stage gracefully, and looked around first. Those who were able to attend the banquet were all acquaintances with good relationships, and everyone''s enthusiasm and applause were not stingy. After the applause fell, the atmosphere was enough. Joanna said with a smile: "This is a beautiful journey, and I can gather with so many friends from all over the world. At this moment, I am really happy!"


    Everyone applauds.


    With a smile on her face, Joanna looked into the eyes of many people present, and then said: "I, like you, feel fresh about everything and are full of expectations. I hope that in the next few days, everyone can enjoy the most relaxing journey, and I wish you all the best of luck forever!"


    Everyone applauded again, and Joanna said with style: "Thank you! Please enjoy tonight!"


    Amid the applause, Joanna came down, An Feng stood up and opened the chair for her, and asked her to sit down, and then someone asked him to go up and say a few words, An Feng smiled: "I think Madam has already spoken for me." But he picked up the wine glass and delivered a speech: "I respect the beautiful ladies present!"


    Everyone raise your glasses to the lady of the night.

 Chapter 329： Luxury Journey (Part 2)

    Chapter 329 Luxury Journey (Part 2)


    This dinner specially held for VIPs was a success. Everyone talked freely and immersed themselves in the luxury theme of the cruise ship. After the dinner, everyone moved to a piano bar, where the high society''s luxury and feasting continued. Luxurious and colorful, but also desirable.


    Luxury is staged everywhere on the cruise ship, and the cruise ship is also slowly sailing on the sea. The next morning, it will stop at an island country in the Western Caribbean region, and tourists can disembark for a tour. Joanna took An Feng to "shopping" in the morning. The time was a bit wrong, but after stepping into Queen''s Avenue, the atmosphere changed immediately.


    Against the light golden background created by the bright lights, stepping on the crystal stairs is full of elegance and elegance. = Confusion is instigating customers to empty their pockets.


    An Feng admires the designer''s creativity. Even in the morning, it can create an atmosphere of shopping in the bustling commercial street at night, and both the environment and the lighting are several levels higher. The super five-star standard is very high, even if you don''t buy anything , It is also very insightful to walk around here.


    Especially standing on the crystal stairs on the sixth and seventh floors and looking down, there are magnificent scenes everywhere, which hollowed out the designer''s mind and attracted the attention of tourists. An Feng commented that this place is the most corrupt place before, and it is absolutely true, just look at the shopping ladies.


    An Feng walked slowly, not knowing Joanna''s purpose: "What do you want to buy?"


    "Bikini swimsuit," she said, her eyes searching for the recommended brand.


    "Isn''t there?" An Feng said.


    "There are better styles here, and the ones worn yesterday, I don''t want to repeat." She also said very corruptly that clothes are usually a one-off concept.


    "Okay, as long as you like." An Feng shrugged, he didn''t care about the money at all.


    "You like it too, don''t you?" She turned her head and said.


    "Of course." An Feng smiled and hugged her, wearing it specially for him to see. Would you like it?


    "Well... and everyday clothes." Joanna pulled him into a clothing store, "I only bring dresses this time, and I''m almost out of clothes."


    An Feng automatically ignored her grandiose excuses, and he assured that this was a temporary reason she added after seeing this Chanel store.


    But dressing her as the noblest, most beautiful and high-profile lady has always been An Feng''s passion.


    It took a while to shop in the morning, and Joanna was also satisfied with handing over the big and small bags to the waiter, and they would make a special trip to deliver them to the room, without the need for guests to walk more. Then went to have some lunch and say hello to some friends. At noon, the cruise ship stops at the island country on the route on time.


    Cruise ships generally spend 70% of the time on board, and there are also projects off the ship. Now tourists can put on their swimsuits and go down to enjoy the sunny beach. The staff on board took the time to clean and arrange, so that the tourists who had had enough fun in the afternoon had a new look before returning.


    On the beach, Joanna naturally showed her figure proudly. Her passion for sports has made her very healthy, her skin is tight, and her figure is maintained at a standard proportion. Not only men pay attention, but women are also envious. Meat" to comfort myself.


    An Feng felt that it was very suitable for him, and he would only know it after using it. She is not a model with a body full of bones. Her height and frame advantages make her look down on many big horses. The perfect "Holy Nest" is the best evidence. The last thing is to walk on the beach and envy them to death.


    ��


    Sit in the sun for a while, and then go to some beach activities, play beach volleyball with beauties and handsome guys, and connect with each other. When there is no mobile phone signal, electronic equipment is scrapped, and when you just play, everything returns to nature, play and leisure without any worries, and the journey is perfect.


    Returning in the afternoon, as expected, the cruise ship has been brand new, the seats are arranged neatly, the handrails of the corridors and stairs have been wiped clean, the ground under the feet has been mopped and dried to ensure that guests will not slip when walking...all details can be satisfied The pickiest of guests.


    Put on the newly bought fashion, choose to have a cup of afternoon tea in the open-air restaurant on the eighth floor, surrounded by the sun and green trees, and occasionally there are a few extremely realistic chirping insects and birds, stretching comfortably, listening to the Joanna plans entertainment for the next few days, such is life.


    Ten minutes later, my sister and brother-in-law also came to sit down for a while.


    An Feng looked around: "Where''s the brat?"


    My sister said with a smile: "It is taken care of. It is really careful here. There are several children''s entertainment and trusteeship places on the ship, where children can play together, and there are special children''s teachers to teach them some entertainment items. Now Xiaoyu is busy with Gang The friends I know share the happiness.��


    "It''s really good!" An Feng said, adults also need their own space, so naturally they can''t follow the brats all the time.


    After chatting for a while, they asked friends to go to the ice skating rink on the third floor, and they said goodbye first. Afterwards, Wang Le and Xiang Yang also stopped by, and sat down to rest when they met acquaintances. Talking about the new things they just encountered. When An Feng heard this, it turned out that he was going to watch a 3D movie.


    The cinema on the cruise ship is specially equipped with holographic 3D technology. With the technical support of GP, the 30-minute short film produced by the film company is authorized to be shown here. In addition to ordinary flat or 3D movies, the audience can also feel the shock of the latest holographic 3D technology. .


    Xiang Yang experienced it for the first time, and it was very strange: "This American''s technology is really amazing, it looks like the real thing, and it was pointed out later, and some people beside the audience were also fake, holographic projections My first reaction was ''can you stop being so scary''?"


    "Haha, that sounds really fun." An Feng said.


    At this time, there was a scream from above, and a guy passed the zipline from the sixteenth floor over their heads and landed on the front end of the eighth deck.


    An Feng turned around and asked Joanna: "Was that Bazel just now?"


    Joanna was dubious: "It seems to be."


    An Feng was surprised: "I really didn''t expect him to have such a side, let''s go and see?"


    Joanna was also very interested, and An Feng said goodbye: "You go ahead, I will pay the bill." After speaking, he took out a few Franklins with a face value of 100 yuan and put them on the table. The waiter who came over smiled sincerely at the two who left in a hurry, The boss and the proprietress are generous enough.


    An Feng walked through the elevator building and came to the atrium at the front, just in time to see the staff undo the safety buckle on Bazel''s body, which proved that the person who screamed just now was indeed him...they came to Bazel to watch Rare animals, his son Charlie is also taking pictures of him.


    An Feng joked: "I have never dared to play this project."


    Bazel looked at them and smiled: "Experience the fun of youth, the effect is really good, very exciting."


    Everyone laughed. It was really rare to see the active side of His Excellency the Baron, but it also fit the theme of the cruise: let everyone let go and play. Work pressure and troubles are all left behind, now is the entertainment time, the network signal is disconnected, let''s have fun.


    ��


    In the evening, after having a Chinese meal with An Feng��s family, I went back to take a bath and changed clothes. It was also a formal dress. This time, Joanna appeared in a passionate red suspender dress. The stylist matched her with a shiny pearl necklace and a diamond-encrusted dress. Platinum bracelet, An Feng accompanied her to the opera house.


    The Opera House is located at the front of the cruise ship, occupying the second, third, and fourth floors. It can accommodate 1,000 spectators. There are plays during the day and night, but the most exciting one is at night. There are many classic plays, including her favorite "Phantom of the Opera". Tonight is another well-known musical "Miss Saigon".


    When we arrived, the theater was full of people. Fortunately, the seats were reserved. The waiter led them to sit in the middle of the front. There is no VIP box here. It is purely a public area, but there are some acquaintances sitting next to them. , Anthony also came with his wife.


    After they talked for a while, the musical started.


    Maybe it��s her emotional side. The "Miss Saigon" that Joanna wants to watch is also a tragedy. The background of the story is the Vietnam War, before and after the fall of Saigon. It tells the tragedy of a Vietnamese woman who was abandoned by her white lover. , to satirize the greed of Americans for feelings.


    It feels like a modern version of the opera "Madame Butterfly". The striking thing is that some Asian actors are used in the play, instead of being as bad as Asians with white people yellowed in the 1980s and 1990s. In the end, the ending of "Miss Saigon" is the same as that of "Madame Butterfly", using suicide as the greatest contribution a mother can bring to her children-leaving her child to her lover and sending her to live in the United States.


    The "American-Dream" surrounding the second half has become Chi Guoguo''s irony. The actors called their curtain call, and the applause lasted for a long time. It is worthy of being a classic musical. It is deeply touching and mobilizes the audience''s emotions very well. Joanna''s sympathy is also overflowing.


    But after the performance, An Feng took her to eat dessert, and the delicacy quickly buried her sympathy.


    An Feng smiled: "You just owe it!"


    ��


    Even if you experience it with a picky heart, the cruise can satisfy An Feng.


    As long as the service is done well, there will be no problem in the future, and it will even make a profit, earning back the money for building cruise ships. At present, the cruise industry is an emerging tourism industry in the world, with millions of tourists every year, and there is a tendency to spread to Asia, China. The market is huge enough and needs to be developed.


    Taking the Queen as an example, the ticket for 6,000 tourists is nearly 20 million US dollars for a single trip. If it is a long-distance voyage, it will cost more than 20 million US dollars in 15 days, plus other expenses. Sea projects Wait, at least 25 million for a trip, 500 million US dollars for ten months a year.


    It is still a very good investment project, and the couple like it��this is the main reason. They like it even if they lose money, and they can accept it, and the investment can be tax deductible. The big deal is to sell it later...and build a bigger cruise ship.


    Halfway through the journey, the cruise ship stopped in Jamaica. The locals were very enthusiastic. When you disembarked, you could see the band welcoming you. There was a hat on the ground. Talented black youths were performing tropical songs. Dollar change is thrown in to support the arts.


    There are other performances such as walking on stilts and pirates. Jamaica is mostly black, and it is located in the Caribbean. Playing pirates is very lifelike, very much in the style of the movie. Some friends of An Feng rushed to the local duty-free shop to buy authentic "Blue Mountain Coffee" after they landed.


    But An Feng and Joanna had no love for coffee, so they went rafting.


    The original ecological bamboo rafting is very interesting. Sitting on a simple raft tied with bamboo, an old black man stands at the bow. It is very cool to travel with the bamboo raft, drifting along the river in hot weather, the shore All are bamboo and green trees, and the water is also green, deep and quiet.


    The bamboo raft floats along the river, and the river in front of it disappears into the dense forest. Continue to drift quietly in the bamboo forest, making people return to nature. After more than an hour of rafting, it feels like traveling through time and space.


    The journey on the shore is not long. When you return to the harbor city, you can see the cruise ship parked at the pier far away, which is more majestic than any surrounding building. The tourists were returning, and they were seen off by black youths on stilts. The locals are also smart and know how to exchange tips for good service.


    Joanna looked at the Queen and suddenly said, "Shall we go to the bow?"


    An Feng looked at her.


    She tiptoed, pointing to the front of the bow: "That''s right there! When the boat starts, we can play Rose and Jack!"


    "As you wish!" An Feng said with a smile.


    There is a green apron at the front of the bow. According to safety regulations, tourists are not allowed to land here, so it is unrealistic to stand on the bow of the boat and enjoy the sea breeze to play romance like a movie. But since it is called "Queen Joanna", it is naturally open to the hostess.


    They boarded the bow and stood in the most forward position. The captain who was notified decided to speed up after going out to sea. The cruise ship could reach 25 knots at the fastest, and the wind and waves were enough. They stood at the tip in style and felt the classic action in the movie.


    It feels okay, but the boat is going too fast, and the wind and waves are blowing and the eyes are hard to open.


    But just be happy, being able to stand in this special position, I am already envious of many tourists who can only stand at the top to feast their eyes.

 Chapter 330： three hands

    Chapter 330 Three hands


    The extravagant and colorful journey continued, but behind the glamor of the "Queen Joanna" cruise ship, something happened quietly, unknowingly... The first happened in the afternoon of the sea cruise, and An Feng went to the luxury casino when he had nothing to do Go shopping and experience the fun of small gambling.


    The casino on the cruise ship is very large, divided into upper and lower floors. The first floor is more popular and has many tourists. When you walk in, you will see dazzling slot machines and blackjack tables, and all kinds of well-dressed waiters shuttle around Among them, drinks and chips are brought to the tourists.


    The second floor is relatively quiet. There is no sound of slot machine lottery draws or rattling of chips. As a super five-star cruise ship, its casino naturally has to be worthy of its status. In addition to the public area, the second floor also has some luxurious boxes for VIPs. Or high rollers.


    An Feng does not have that high technology, and his interest in gambling is only for entertainment. He played with a few familiar friends on the first floor, and joined Roger and Duke at a table to play Texas Hold''em. The chips are not big, and the bets are won and lost. On the contrary, the dealing dealer is very eye-catching.


    The gamble they play is not big, and the biggest game is only a few thousand dollars. All the people present are wealthy people, who can afford to play and lose. Seeing the excitement here, some people joined the circle on the way. As the owner of the ship, An Feng naturally doesn''t mind the participation of the guests. Others also hope that the game will be more lively.


    An Feng drew a good card in this round, a six in the hole, a pair of sixes on the public card, three of a kind is considered a good card, and the luck of other people is not good, he has a great chance of winning, so he raises with pride, People turned over their hole cards, some called, some gave up, and after a few rounds, there was only one opponent left.


    An Feng looked at the other party and smiled: "Sir, do you still have the confidence to follow?"


    The other party was a young guy in his twenties. An Feng didn''t know him. He joined later. Today, he was very lucky. He already had more than 10,000 chips in front of him. The public card on the table was two pair. With the cards that appear, the probability of him getting a full house is very small, and the winning rate is not high.


    The opponent hesitated for a moment, and then rolled out chips: "Follow!"


    Finally, the cards were compared. An Feng��s combination was three of a kind and six without a pair. If the opponent had two pairs, An Feng would win, but after the opponent turned over his hole cards, it happened to be three of a kind with a pair. A full house would not appear as expected! The chips in front of An Feng were taken away, he shook his head: "How could that be!"


    Roger said with a smile: "You have won too much before, you should experience the ups and downs of life!"


    Duke turned his head and said, "Continue?"


    An Feng raised his hand to look at his watch. Joanna was probably still in the process of making a beauty treatment. He nodded: "Go on."


    The luck behind them is not very good. They won a few times, but they lost more overall. The game is a bit boring. It feels that the opponent wins because of luck, and the skills are not proficient, but in the eyes of more professionals, the meaning is very different. , such as several vacation bodyguards who quietly arrived.


    "What do you see?" Guli asked his companion.


    Andre watched calmly: "He has a 70% chance of making a move, and his technique is very fast."


    Guri does not doubt Andre''s deduction. Andre has practiced in a casino in Moscow. He has so many skills that he is not overwhelmed. After getting a more affirmative answer, Gu Li said: "Get ready to start work."


    "I said BOSS should give us a raise, and now we are on vacation." Valentin said that since the last Russian incident, Andrei and Valentin joined Aegis Security and became another mainstay. Both skills and professionalism are excellent, but English is average.


    Gu Li, who is very familiar with An Feng''s character, said: "If you do this well, I will guarantee him a bonus."


    An Feng''s gambling game continued, the atmosphere was gloomy, and the chips on the table began to increase. The young people who were lucky had already won 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, and the trend continued to spread. An Feng didn''t believe that people''s luck would be so good. When he was about to follow, Gu Li came over and whispered in his ear.


    An Feng nodded and pushed out the chips: "Follow!"


    After another round of winning bets, the young man did not continue, put away his chips and quit the bet. An Feng and the others could only regret today''s luck, but to be honest, the money they lost was not enough for some people to earn more in an hour, and they quickly forgot about it afterwards. But Guli and the others followed the target.


    The young and old go ahead, and they follow behind.


    Young people noticed and left the crowd to verify if there was a follower, but the people behind them were aboveboard.


    The young man was sure, he thought it was the bodyguard of a rich man at the gaming table who was looking for trouble, he ran around the corner ahead, and by coincidence walked into the elevator that was about to be closed. He reacted well, had good timing, and had confidence in himself��if only he could have seen his stalker calmer.


    The only miscalculation of the young and old man is: it is not someone else, but the owner of the ship. It wasn''t the three bodyguards who troubled him, but the hundreds of security guards on the entire ship, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes in the monitoring room, who followed him without any blind spots. He can''t get away with it.


    Gu Li did not chase after him, bowed his head and said a few words to the collar, and waited quietly. The security guards on the fifth floor surrounded him, and the elevator doors opened. They calmly held the young and old, and asked them to step aside and get up from the elevator. A minute later, they returned to the floor just now, Guli and the others were all smiling.


    "Bring him!" Guri said.


    "What are you doing!" The young man used an innocent weapon, "Help!"


    "Shut up!" Valentin punched him in the stomach, "Cooperate now, and later we will let you swim in the sea completely! Maybe you can survive!"


    The young man was stunned. He was dragged to the employee elevator, pushed in, and reached the employee area on the third floor. The monitoring area, safety area and rest area are concentrated here, and there are also cabin doors that open outwards, which are usually connected to the ground or used in emergencies. Now it''s the high platform.


    The young man was handcuffed behind his back and pushed to the cabin door.


    "What''s the name?" Guri said in his unchanging Russian English.


    The young man glanced behind him in horror, and said tremblingly, "Martin, what do you want to do?"


    "Martin, nice to meet you!" Guli took the pistol from a security guard beside him and pointed the gun at him, "My friend said that you are very fast, I will give you ten seconds, please stand on the platform, Once the ten seconds are up, as long as you can release the handcuffs, you will be free."


    "If not..." Guri shrugged, "Sorry, no one will care."


    Martin said in a panic, "I won''t! I won''t uncuff the handcuffs! Please let me go!"


    "Nine." Gu Li said indifferently.


    "I really won''t! I''m innocent!" Martin said anxiously, sweat profusely on his forehead.


    "Eight." Gu Li counted slowly, "Seven...six...five..."


    Martin was in a hurry to find the tools on his body, but it was a pity that there was too much time, and he couldn''t calm down when he was pointed at by the gun and the sea breeze was blowing. When Gu Li counted down to "two", he shouted: " I tell you about the thieves on the ship! They are very skilled, you can''t find them!"


    "What did you say?" Gu Li''s muzzle was lowered, and Martin, who had time, untied the handcuffs in a panic with the wire of his cuffs, his eyes asked for permission, and he walked in cautiously, increasing his chances of survival: "They and I are not gang, but I know them!"


    "Go on!" Guri said.


    Martin rubbed his wrists and said: "I think their purpose is the same as mine, to focus on this new cruise ship. There are many rich people on this voyage, and there are new companies that are relatively lax in safety management. They can take advantage of your disembarking activities. Time, use the cracked ship card to steal things."


    Martin and the professional thieves he said are "advancing with the times". Now that the security level of society is high, the property of the rich is not easy to steal. When it is important, jewelry and watches are definitely indispensable. They are so focused on enjoying and entertaining that it is difficult for them to notice the loss, and considering that the cruise ship is new, there must be many loopholes in the safety management.


    When Gu Li reported the matter to An Feng, he lamented that all industries are not easy to mix.


    In the case of Martin, if he goes to Las Vegas or Atlantic City, the risk factor is high. Hotels and casinos have a joint mechanism, and those who encounter cheaters will be blacklisted. If he appears in any casino, he will kill himself. , can only start with the easier luxury cruise ship.


    Gu Li said: "Tonight is the captain''s dinner, and there will be a reception and a carnival after that. Everyone is in formal attire. The jewelry of the rich wife is a target, as are the empty rooms. The vigilance of the crowd will be lowered during the carnival. Easy for a professional thief."


    "Hurry up and take them all down." An Feng said, "We must put an end to such hidden dangers, so as not to affect tourists'' impression of the cruise ship."


    If the safety conditions of the management side are not up to standard, the customer loses their belongings, affects their mood, and affects the reputation of the cruise ship and the company, and the future loss will not be small. So after receiving An Feng''s order, all the security personnel joined forces, with Gu Li, who was on vacation and turned to work, as the commander.


    They want to take all three hands down before the situation gets serious.


    ��


    The captain''s dinner was held as scheduled.


    This is a major feature of the cruise industry. Each journey will have one or two captain dinners to entertain the guests. There are also requirements on clothing, formal attire is a must, otherwise you are not allowed to enter. Generally, men wear suits and leather shoes, which are personable, while women wear dresses and long skirts, which are gentle and moving.


    The location of the dinner is located in the main restaurant on the third to fifth floors of the cruise ship. The third floor is the main area, forming an atrium surrounded by the fourth and fifth floors, which is very creative. The layout of the main restaurant is mainly luxurious, various dark brown, gold and ivory white are used, coupled with the light of crystal chandeliers, ladies dressed in jeweled jewels shuttle among them, creating an atmosphere of aristocratic society.


    For Westerners, this kind of occasion is very enjoyable. Whether they are ordinary people or rich people, they can gather together to experience the luxurious banquet on a luxury cruise ship. In the future, it will also be a source of conversation and increase their life experience... An Feng and Joanna also attended This grand dinner.


    As Laoqian said, there are a lot of rich people on board this time, not to mention others, the diamond necklace on Joanna''s neck alone is worth hundreds of thousands. Western women naturally show their most satisfactory and best jewelry to the banquet. Come out, which undoubtedly gave the three hands obvious targets.


    But An Feng is not worried, the big net has been opened tonight.


    He only needs to enjoy what he should enjoy, and let his subordinates do the rest.


    Joanna and An Feng are seated at the long table in the center, which is usually reserved for important guests or guests who need to go on stage, and she is here tonight. The surrounding tables are also important guests. According to the arrangement, they are all friends of An Feng and Joanna, and they are generally either rich or expensive.


    Before the banquet began, the captain came to the stage to make a few opening remarks, and then invited: "As the maiden voyage of the ''Queen Joanna'', I am honored to stand here, and I also feel that it is necessary to invite the hostess of the cruise ship, the noble and beautiful Joanna. Lady Ann! Ask her to speak a few words for us!"

 Chapter 331： perfect ending

    Chapter 331 Perfect ending


    After the voice fell, everyone followed the captain''s gaze and looked at the main dining table.


    Regarding the naming of this cruise ship, there are still some gossips circulating in private, and it has become a topic that passengers talk about after dinner. After the captain invited the hostess tonight, her name proves what he said. This cruise ship is really good. Some have a relationship with this British lady.


    It was the captain''s idea to ask Joanna to come on stage, because the first voyage is very commemorative, and the captain also believes in certain sailing customs. He notified several days in advance, and Joanna agreed to come down, and the elegant and decent dress tonight is for this purpose. After a pause, she stood up, and the captain asked her to come on stage sideways.


    Joanna stepped up, and the group of relatives and friends applauded, which led to the applause of other audience members. Just like the image the audience hoped for, the dame is a tall, beautiful and generous blond lady, which is almost the image of a female character in a fairy tale, very lovable and enviable.


    The tourists on this ultra-luxury cruise ship come from all over the world, more than half of them are Americans, and there are also some European tourists. Some British people have recognized Joanna. There has been a lot of talk about this young lady recently, and her halo is very strong. The fairy tale plot it brings is also enviable.


    Whether they understand it or not, their eyes are all on her.


    Joanna stood generously in front of the microphone, wearing an elegant blue dress, her rolled up hair and beautiful jewelry made her the focus of the audience. She looked around for a week, looked up at the fourth and fifth floors, and said in her signature voice: "I''m very glad that everyone is here tonight!"


    Applause at the scene, Joanna''s standard tone is very serious, but it fits her image.


    Facing the applause of everyone, she nodded with a smile: "As the congratulatory speech for the first commercial voyage, I want to thank my husband Bruce most!" Let''s break the news. Everyone loves gossip.


    Joanna said: "It is a commemoration of our love, a beautiful memory. I also hope that it can bring warmth and sweetness to each of you."


    After a short pause, she said, "Bless love!"


    The audience applauded again, especially the couples.


    "Thank you!" Joanna nodded, "Including every waiter on board! Thank you! Let us enjoy tonight!"


    Amid applause, Joanna stepped down.


    The ship took the stage again: "I am very grateful to Dame Joanna for being able to attend and give a speech for this cruise. Next, please enjoy your meal slowly."


    Hundreds of waiters began to bring freshly baked food to the table.


    The fancy dress dinner in the main restaurant is definitely a gluttonous feast, coupled with the high-level waiters on site, so that the guests can truly experience the feeling of being at home, and the dinner is accompanied by gentle piano music, which is going on perfectly. It''s a cocktail dance.


    The location was changed, and the guests left the main restaurant and came to the nightclub on the fifth floor. It is three floors high, and the nightclub is spacious enough to accommodate thousands of guests. Together with the surrounding bars and entertainment venues, all guests can experience the excitement after the dinner.


    The nightclub is located at the front of the cruise ship, that is, at the end of Queen''s Avenue. The most eye-catching are several adjustable elevators, which rise from the fifth floor to the seventh floor, and then slowly descend to the fifth floor. There are one person on each elevator platform. Dancers, dancing **** bodies in changing lights.


    Its interior is very futuristic. Whether it is the bar or the seats, it is mainly simple and conceptual. There is a bright starry sky above the head, and the stars are dotted with a blue and black cosmic background. Maximizing the use seems to be in the future.


    What''s even more exciting is that the central stage uses holographic projections to project the performances of some bands, making it difficult for the audience to distinguish between real and fake. The latter was a temporary makeover by the cruise ship, but it undoubtedly made the nightclub a must-see on a cruise ship, and it''s very popular.


    An Feng and He celebrated here, and there was also a group dance performance, which fit the theme very well.


    The guests are sinking in this luxurious and luxurious environment, but the security team of the cruise ship is concentrating on trying to find the three hands in the crowd as soon as possible. They are not ordinary thieves, they are professional and high-end, and it is not sure whether they can crack the ship card of the cruise ship.


    It is very difficult for hundreds of security guards to find targets among 8,000 people.


    And the time is tight. The cruise ship will arrive at Cozumel Island in Mexico at noon the next day. Once the arrest operation leaks or slips through the net, the three hands only need to land on the island, and it is almost impossible to catch them. So it has to be done before docking.


    Guli is directing in the monitoring room. Dozens of screens monitor every public area of ??the cruise ship. Currently, they are concentrated in nightclubs, where celebrities and rich people are all present. With the change of lights, drinking alcohol and concentrating on celebrations, not to mention professional thieves, It means that ordinary people can steal things.


    "Lock the white suit." Gu Li pointed to one of them, "Screenshot and transmit to the action team members, take him down quickly!"


    After the technician took a screenshot of the profile picture, he transmitted it to the security guard in action through the local area network of the cruise ship. The security work of the cruise ship was contracted by Aegis Security. The company has always focused on high-end and technology. Connect to the cloud network and use the speed of the computer to perform face recognition. It only takes a few seconds to lock the target in the crowd.


    "Action!"


    The security guards surrounded him calmly, and took away the white suit whose situation was unknown. Guli issued other orders to simultaneously arrest other targets confessed by Martin. Based on the idea that a dead fellow would not die a poor man, Martin had no friendship with them, so he recruited whenever he could to save his life.


    The surprise operation caught the opponent by surprise. Among the six lists provided by Martin, five were captured on the spot, and after being turned over to the security department, the stolen goods were found, including a beautiful diamond bracelet worth no less than 300,000 yuan. But there is still one slipping through the net, which is currently out of monitoring.


    The security guards will need to extract a confession next, they are not the police, the incident took place on the high seas, and the cruise ship is a Panamanian flag... All the conditions add up, the thief who was caught can only confess. Because the ship is registered in Panama, the offenders on the high seas have no time to manage so many, just don''t come to Panama.


    ��


    The luxurious and colorful cocktail dance lasted until one or two o''clock in the morning. Everyone had had enough fun and was tired, and then gradually dispersed. An Feng interacted with his family and friends at the dance, and he came out just to have fun, obviously continuous Wonderful makes them impeccable.


    That''s the case, and An Feng doesn''t want the stolen items to affect this perfect journey.


    There are still two days before the cruise ship returns to Fort Lauderdale. The last moment must be perfect. The symbolic meaning of the maiden voyage cannot be broken. After everyone went back to rest, An Feng asked Scarlett to take Joanna, who was slightly drunk, first. He still has some things to attend to.


    Come to the security department and meet Guli.


    "Is it all done?" An Feng sat down and asked.


    "I missed one, and I''m looking for it now." Guri said, "The other five are under interrogation. We have confiscated all the stolen goods they stole and made records. As for how to return them, the cruise ship management will handle them safely and try our best to Minimize the impact."


    An Feng is more concerned about the fish that slipped through the net: "Can''t we use technology to find them?"


    Guri said: "It''s difficult. I''m afraid he has already put on makeup. He may be a tourist or a waiter. We have to investigate one by one."


    "Hurry up and check!" An Feng said, "We must get him before noon tomorrow!"


    "He can''t run away." Gu Li said confidently, "Pay attention to the security work on your side, your place is the largest, and people may hide."


    "I know." An Feng said, "How do you plan to deal with those guys?"


    "After returning to Fort Lauderdale, hand it over to the local police." Gurley said, "But the gambler begged us not to hand him over to the police. He still has children at home."


    There are seniors and juniors, and foreigners also use it... He said, "Bring him here, and I''ll see what it''s worth."


    "Wait a minute." Gu Li said with a smile, "Hurry up and send him here!"


    Martin was escorted up, pressed on a chair by the security guards, and sat opposite An Feng.


    An Feng looked at the bruised Martin and said, "You want me to let you go?"


    "Yes, I can do things for you." Martin said sincerely, "Including some skilled thieves, cheaters that casinos may have, etc. You are a new company with little experience in this field, and you are easy to be taken advantage of. Let me go, I can help you."


    "You think professional security guards like me are just putting on a show?" An Feng said.


    "They are indeed powerful, but if you want to prevent all aspects, you have to invest a lot of manpower and expenses. But if you choose me, you only need one." Martin''s statement neither offends anyone, but also promotes his own benefits. He looked at An Feng expectantly, hoping to get a chance.


    "Your suggestion?" An Feng looked up at Gu Li.


    "From the perspective of economy and efficiency, I suggest adopting it." Guli said, "But we are not familiar with his background. In this regard, I suggest sinking the sea to feed the sharks."


    "No, no!" Martin shook his head, "You''re not a good idea! You''re murdering a father!"


    "How many children do you have? Where is the mother?" An Feng asked.


    "There was a son, nine years old, who lived with his grandparents, and his mother had long since run away," Martin said.


    An Feng said: "When we go ashore, what you said is true, and I will hire you with a standard salary. This is a serious and secure job."


    Martin said gratefully: "Thank you, sir."


    An Feng changed his tone: "If not, you won''t be fed to the sharks, but you better pray that you can fall in love with picking up soap in prison!"


    "Hahaha!" Gu Li and the others laughed.


    Martin felt a chill and shook his head vigorously: "What I said is true!"


    ��


    The last three hands that slipped through the net were still exposed.


    The so-called hundred secrets will eventually be lost. After all the tourists went back to rest and the waiters got off work, the cruise ship waiter he pretended to have nowhere to go, and finally took the risk of taking the stolen ID card to use the employee elevator, and was tracked by the security system. Synchronized displayed on the monitor screen.


    The security guards surrounded him layer by layer, served him with stun guns and net guns, and finally the other party surrendered.


    Then there was the emergency remedy on the cruise ship. The high-priced security guards were worth the money. This time the operation reflected speed and high technology. After recovering the lost item, contact the owner, spread the word that the security guard is in control, and return the stolen item.


    Quick response, coupled with proper handling, the lost items were returned before the guests noticed it. The impression of improper management did not arise, but the impression of safety and stability. It is not up to the cruise ship to decide whether there are thieves, but it is the responsibility of the cruise ship to catch them or not.


    When the cruise ship stopped at Cozumel Island halfway, the matter came to an end.


    This voyage finally completed a week around Cuba without incident, and returned to Fort Lauderdale smoothly. Among the travel evaluations given by the guests, the favorable rate reached 99%. The focus is on delicious food, unique services and facilities. , can be called a perfect cruise.

 Chapter 332： huge tax

    Chapter 332 Huge Tax


    The maiden voyage of the luxury cruise ship ended with a perfect performance.


    According to subsequent investigations, the eight-day cruise on the sea is a bit short, and most people cannot experience all the items. The schedule is very tight, and there are few places to visit for the second time, so An Feng and the company management consider it later. , decided to swap it with sapphire.


    That is to say, the Queen takes the 15-day ocean route in the western Caribbean, goes south to the location of St. Kitts Island, enjoys the exclusive private resort area transformed by the company, completes the VIP to the end, and then takes the route around Haiti to return. There is plenty of time for tourists. You can experience the details of a luxury cruise ship in detail.


    After the Spring Festival, An Feng continued with other work.


    Although the doomsday probability equation in his head has changed slightly, An Feng also doubts that these things will happen only after dozens or hundreds of years, but now that the arrow is on the string and the plan has been implemented, he can only do it well. After finishing early and resting early, he participated in the research and development of robots.


    After Anshi Industries spent 50 million US dollars to build a three-dimensional printer, the core mechanical components do not need to be ordered from other companies, as long as the graphics are constructed, the materials used, the strength, toughness or quality of the finished product, etc., the computer calculates the possibility of its composition , and then come up with a plan.


    Input the fine-tuning results of the scheme into the printer program, and start working with the raw material powder ordered from the outside. The printer has more than two hundred printing nozzles for different purposes. In terms of sintering metal, in addition to plasma technology, there is also a more precise laser beam.


    It can make tiny objects at the nanometer level, and it can also build a huge car��as long as there are enough materials, it can turn imagination into reality one by one. The research and development of the robot saved a lot of time, and finally produced results under the money-burning mode of Anfeng.


    Hoffman called him to the lab for formal testing.


    The one placed in front of An Feng is a silver machine skeleton that simulates the human body. It is about 1.7 meters high. The body is covered with dense wiring. Layers emulate skins that change in appearance.


    Hoffman said: "The robot allows the computer to be controlled remotely, and it can precisely do things according to the programmed program."


    "How about flexibility?" An Feng is more concerned about these, and stiff robots are definitely not within the scope of choice.


    "Excellent!" Hoffman was very confident, "We can make it perform."


    Hoffman pressed a few times on the control panel to select the item. Because there is no intelligence at present, no matter how powerful and flexible a robot is, it has to rely on programs to operate honestly. After the command was given, the robot walked up to them with natural steps, showing how to walk freely.


    "We can look this way!" Hoffman pointed to a screen next to it, which would record the robot''s movements and simulate them with normal people. "Its movement and dexterity are 85% similar to real people, not absolutely the same, but within the range of normal people."


    "The problem of obstacles?" An Feng asked.


    "It can automatically judge, just like this��" Hoffman suddenly pushed a chair in front of the robot, and it made a detour without hesitation, avoiding the chair. Following several technicians coming towards it, it turned sideways to avoid it.


    It''s hard to imagine, according to the concept of the robot, it should choose an empty area to pass, but under the attack of several people, it chooses to continue walking in a straight line, but when it is about to collide with the human body, it is very smart to open sideways Let the body go and continue walking to the finish line.


    "Is this instant control?" An Feng asked.


    Hoffman said: "No, it is a stored program, and the computer judges the optimal route by itself."


    "Very good!" This kind of flexibility is what An Feng needs - whether it is used in human form, it is also very useful in other equipment, such as excavating robots. When encountering obstacles or accidents, it can be very smart. Choose the optimal solution to avoid.


    Hoffman said: "But this method has high requirements on the processor. As long as it exceeds the coverage of the supercomputer network, it cannot perform cloud computing. If a highly intelligent processor can be developed and installed on it alone It might work on its own."


    An Feng is very optimistic: "Independent intelligence is very difficult, cloud network is the easiest to achieve, in fact, you can think of it this way, as long as there is a dedicated network, even if the robot is located in Europe, it can be controlled through the network - so supercomputers can It came in handy."


    "You''re right." Hoffman had an inspiration, "We can improve the receiver so that it maintains a stable connection to the cloud network."


    Hoffman also ignored An Feng, and went to work on his own, leaving him and other technicians to continue testing the robot. Its dexterity is not only reflected in its legs, but also the dexterity of its ten fingers is similar to that of a real person, and there is no difference in shaking hands with it with eyes closed.


    The final conclusion is that as long as it is covered with a layer of bionic skin, it is not much different from a real person. You can definitely see the difference if you get along with it for a long time, but if you spend a few minutes together occasionally, no one can see the true thoughts in the skin. According to An Feng''s requirements, one more step up, it will be qualified.


    As for force, don''t worry about it. There are two modes of exoskeleton and endoskeleton, and there is a durable titanium alloy skeleton. Most people don��t need to think about it. Even soldiers wearing exoskeletons are no match for robots in terms of pure strength and resistance. With less wiring, it can adapt to harsh environments.


    ��


    The research and development of the robot has made good progress.


    The other research and development of An��s Industry continues, and superconductors are still challenging the pinnacle. Room temperature superconductivity is Anfeng��s ultimate dream, but the superconductor��s money-making plan cannot be stagnant. High-temperature superconductivity has already shocked the world. The superconductor company is currently developing mass production technology according to the plan. .


    An Feng left a research and development fund of 100 million US dollars for research and development in other fields, such as special materials, electric machinery industry, nuclear industry, etc., and strives to achieve a state where a hundred flowers bloom. The only thing that needs to be considered is the issue of money. Research and development will definitely cost money.


    Fortunately, various fields are currently developing smoothly, and he has also made a lot of money.


    It is now February, the beginning of the new year, and the profitability of several industries under An Feng has been calculated. After the private team returned from their Caribbean vacation, they began to compile reports. The method is very high-end, with the holographic projection technology that has become popular in the United States, and it is displayed realistically.


    An Feng stayed at home, and both John and Franklin could communicate with him face to face.


    They reported all sources of profit that Anfeng was able to obtain this year, combining financial statements and graphics.


    First of all, GP��s revenue. GP Energy, which holds 65% of its shares, has achieved the goal of breaking through 20 billion US dollars in revenue this year��it is already very good when the electric vehicle field has not yet exploded. After major manufacturers release electric models this year, their turnover may double next year.


    GP Electronics has also made efforts this time, with a revenue of 6 billion. Among them, the "Aris" supercomputer has brought them many orders, and this alone accounts for 20% of the share. Other small computers, servers Or the microprocessor chips that have already been distributed are also profitable.


    These two subsidiaries are very profitable, with a net profit margin of more than 30%. After deducting the provident fund and other development plans, they will be transferred to the GP company, and then a layer of tax will be calculated. After deducting the cost of expanding operations this year, Anfeng can finally distribute 2 billion US dollars, the part belonging to individuals is subject to taxation.


    Followed by the research center. After these batches of pharmaceutical patents changed hands one after another, 1.5 billion US dollars occurred in the United States, and 4 billion US dollars were traded through overseas accounts. That is to say, 1.5 billion US dollars have to be taxed normally, and the 4 billion US dollars are not taxable, but it is not An Feng. , but three offshore companies.


    As An Feng''s money increased, John set up two offshore companies for him after consideration, and controlled them through a complicated crossover method. In terms of account opening banks, the Swiss were handling the process, and the whole process was seamless. In terms of lack of legal constraints, it is also difficult to manage.


    Then there is the pharmaceutical industry.


    The monopoly ability of anticancer drugs is not covered. Although Xin''s pharmaceutical company is a newcomer in the market, it cannot stand its background and its connections. After one fiscal year, the turnover directly soared to 30 billion US dollars. Most of these are purchased in bulk from authorized resellers.


    The cost of anti-cancer drugs is not high, so the profit is huge. After deducting taxes and fees, the profit that can be distributed is 8 billion US dollars. An Feng occupies 45% of the shares, but in fact he has 60% of the profit dividends because he has a research center 70% of the shares directly enjoy 4.8 billion dividends.


    However, considering the development of pharmaceutical companies, there is a great need for funds at present, and more than one billion is needed to develop the market, and only 6 billion in profits will be distributed in the end. Anfeng has 3.6 billion US dollars, of which 2 billion must be paid through personal accounts, and the rest 1.6 billion paid to offshore companies.


    The next item is that although Beta''s business is very good, with a turnover of 1.5 billion in high-end products, the profits will not be distributed and will continue to be used for the company''s development. After this year''s agreement is signed, it can also bring more than one billion to the company. The funds may not be able to pay dividends until next year.


    Mosaic��s 14% share has brought in 1.5 billion in revenue, which is nearly four times more than last year. The reason is that Mosaic��s expansion has stabilized. Its revenue last year reached 75 billion U.S. dollars, becoming a veritable world agricultural giant , The net profit margin is 15%, and the income situation is good.


    In addition, Legg Mason also needs to pay Anfeng 2 billion in salary in June.


    Finally, it��s HG��s. Weight-loss drugs are now popular in North America and some countries in Western Europe. The 25% dividend has also brought 500 million in income, which is also a normal way and very generous. They are currently planning to buy out Anfeng��s dividend ratio. The plan And the amount is under negotiation.


    After listening to the report, An Feng asked, "Is all the data gone?"


    John nodded: "I have listed all of them. The amount of some other projects does not exceed 10 million. The unit here is billion (billion)."


    The data is terrible, An Feng can''t remember: "Can you come up with a summary?"


    John smiled slightly, and he also prepared the manuscript: "Sir, you received 15.1 billion US dollars this year, 8.76 billion US dollars passed through personal accounts, and 6.34 billion US dollars went to offshore accounts. According to the new tax law just enacted, your this year''s The personal tax is 3 billion US dollars, and the minimum can be controlled at 1.25 billion.��


    John''s answer made An Feng fall all at once. I heard earlier that the total amount received was 15.1 billion, cash! net profit! The richest man in the world doesn''t have that much cash! But it didn''t take long for me to be happy. After knowing that no matter how reasonable tax avoidance is, I have to pay at least 1.25 billion, and then I fell to the bottom.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 333： dual motor

    Chapter 333 Dual Motors


    Now An Feng has to worry about spending money again.


    It is almost a routine, and this kind of "rich troubles" is repeated at the beginning of each year, and the game gets bigger and bigger. The 1.25 billion taxes given by John happened under the best circumstances of reasonable tax avoidance, according to the tax law. According to calculations, Anfeng will pay a huge personal tax of 3 billion US dollars to the tax bureau.


    It can be deducted, but it does not mean that Anfeng��s taxable income can be used freely. The personal deductible amount is limited, and the business expenditure amount is also limited. He has to strictly follow the procedures to consume in order to reach the 1.25 billion individual tax. The actual tax paid is often much higher than the ideal value.


    This is why An Feng considers spending money��he invests in a company, buys a super cruise ship, and burns more than a billion yuan, which is better than paying taxes. Of course, it is a bit of a loss of 800 yuan, but it can be controlled or handed over to the tax bureau. There is no doubt that the former is more acceptable.


    To put it more practically, he has no goal to invest in the company now.


    For example, GP companies, currently they have sufficient funds, can fully support any technology research and development and commercial operations, and their scientific research activities are based on correct theories, the cost of research and development is much less than other companies, and commercial operations are monopolistic , don''t bother.


    The same goes for the research center. This time, Anfeng only distributes the phone fee for patent authorization, and the commercial operation of the research center enterprise, such as rapid cancer cure and anticancer drug dividends, is calculated to be hundreds of millions, which is enough for their operation... and other enterprises are the same.


    They are well developed, well funded, and obviously do not need reinvestment.


    "So it''s very nerve-wracking now." An Feng confided to Joanna.


    After listening to An Feng''s distress, she came up with an idea: "You can think about the longer term, such as nuclear energy and global warming that you mentioned earlier."


    "This is also a plan." An Feng said.


    An Feng decided to make a longer-term plan. Considering the research and development of robots, he invested in two more 3D printers, one of which cost tens of millions of dollars, and then invested another billion dollars in the superconductor project. In addition to superconductors, their derivatives such as superconducting power generation machine, ferrofluid and nuclear fusion reaction research and development.


    Then there will be the issue of quantum technology. He decided to set up an independent research institution and prepare a fund of 500 million US dollars to help them make breakthroughs faster. , to facilitate the use of funds.


    In the end, he invested 100 million U.S. dollars in the "Green Earth Project", and then set up a fund of 500 million U.S. dollars to support the development of the plan. Then he linked Anshi Industrial''s seawater desalination project with Green Earth to form a closer cooperation team. Hire another batch of environmental analysts.


    After a few long-term spending, the two billion dollars will have a destination. It covers future global quantum communication, quantum computing and artificial intelligence, robotics and stereolithography, future green earth and clean energy. There is no doubt that they are options that have potential in the future and also meet Anfeng''s goals.


    After spending so much money, he has already been able to deduct 700 million personal taxes, most of which belong to business expenses, and he can spend the rest more easily, such as buying some collectibles, preparing some jewelry or luxury accessories for Joanna, and then going to Decorate your own overseas island, continue to burn money for sports, etc.


    Considering that his consumer demand in the United States has been almost saturated, which means that private demand has begun to decline, so he plans to transfer more profit shares to offshore companies, which can avoid many taxes and fees. Of course, the consumption of corporate accounts is not convenient enough, but it is even more inconvenient to pay taxes.


    ��


    A few days later, An Feng was invited to the racing track for a test drive.


    The last time Maserati pure electric vehicle was tested, he just observed it and had no actual experience. However, for a person who loves cars, it is a very passionate thing to be able to drive a brand-new model on the track. Bruno, president of North America, also saw this.


    Of course, anyone who sees An Feng''s museum can understand the heart of the owner of the venue.


    This time An Feng was invited to participate in the test of two models, namely the "President" of the luxury car and the "GT" of the sports car. In fact, it has been tested, and both cars can be mass-produced. The pure electric model will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March this year.


    After An Feng came to the racetrack by helicopter, the vehicle was ready.


    Both Bruno and the director of the circuit, Robert, were there. After they shook hands, Bruno said: "I heard Mr. Robert say, Mr. An, you are an amateur driver, and your skills are no less than professional. Please forgive me for being wrong last time. I didn''t expect Mr. interests are so broad."


    An Feng smiled: "I take it as an attitude, I like high-speed sports."


    "They''ll surprise you!" Bruno said, stepping away. Behind him were two cars, the president in champagne gold and the GT in carbon black.


    An Feng walked up to the president: "What''s changed?"


    Bruno said: "Compared with the large-volume single motor last time, its mass is too large. This time we launched dual motors with a combined output of 550 horsepower. The focus is on comfort. The acceleration from 100 kilometers is 4.2 seconds, and the top speed is 305 kilometers. Conventional In this mode, single-motor rear drive can be used, which is more power-saving, and the mileage can reach 650 kilometers. In dual-motor mode, using the power optimization system, it can reach 450 kilometers.��


    "Dual motors? How cool!" An Feng''s eyes lit up.


    He couldn''t wait to get on the car for a test. Compared with the past, the interior has changed greatly. The central control instrument panel has been replaced with a liquid crystal display, and there is a large-size display device next to it. Information is displayed on the windshield, head up and drive.


    Running a few laps of the F1 track, due to the positioning of a luxury car, it is naturally impossible to be as turbulent as a sports car. An Feng also judges according to the standard of a luxury car. The result is very satisfying, the acceleration is fast, the start is strong and powerful, and the sound is very small, and the car is very quiet.


    Power mode switching is very simple. In single motor mode, the maximum speed is 150, which is suitable for almost all roads. If you want to get more surging power, turn on the dual motor mode, it can break a hundred in four seconds, the power is continuous, and it can reach a speed of more than 305 kilometers per hour.


    An Feng suggested to increase the level of luxury, and this time Maserati has also added it, and the president finally has the appearance of a president. Multimedia equipment is added in the rear row, and the central armrest has a small refrigerator that can hold two bottles of champagne. Chair massage and so on.


    It looks similar to the gasoline version on the outside, but the inside has changed. Whether it is riding or driving, it feels very atmospheric. After getting off the car, take a look around, it is as fashionable as ever, and the exhaust pipe that disappears at the rear of the car shows its special status and enjoys high-end.


    Next is the most anticipated sports car.


    Maserati GT, as a sports car that pursues comfort, gives the impression of gentleness, without the irritable and crazy of its brother Ferrari, it is quite satisfactory. This time Brono said: "It is also a dual motor, with a high-performance version of the battery, the motor can output 630 horsepower, the acceleration from 100 kilometers is maintained at 3.2 seconds, the top speed can reach 335 kilometers per hour, and the range of a single motor is 600 kilometers."


    An Feng took a closer look. The shape has changed, and the aerodynamic body has been compromised to be smoother. In the past, the GT''s top speed did not exceed 300, and it took four to five seconds to break through a hundred. This time the opponent was replaced by Ferrari''s best-selling model, the 458, or even the more advanced F12. The performance can only be described as manic.


    According to what Bruno said, the motor is very small, 20 kg per unit. What kind of concept is this? For a V8 engine, the weight is generally 180 to 200 kilograms. Lamborghini''s V12 engine weighs more than 230 kilograms, and the current power core is only 40 kilograms.


    Wear a helmet and get on the car. It is a two-seater, not the previous two-door four-seater. In order to pursue light weight, the seat is a racing seat, which is fixed and relatively hard. The central control is also simplified, there is only a large LCD screen, and the head-up display can be used to allow the driver to concentrate more on driving.


    An Feng pressed the start button to start the motor.


    The pure electric sound is very slight. Compared with the past, it has no clutch, and there is no such thing as a shift paddle behind the steering wheel. There are several main buttons at hand, such as reverse, normal gear, and climbing gear. In addition, there are three modes: sports, track and ESC-OFF.


    It seems that it was born for racing, even the comfort mode is skipped.


    An Feng ran in sports mode first, and he couldn''t hear the roar of the engine when he stepped on the switch. The feeling of pushing his back came directly, his body was pressed tightly on the seat, and he watched the speed displayed by the numbers continue to climb. Before a corner, the speed of the sports car has reached 280 kilometers per hour.


    The strongest supercar that Anfeng has ever driven can reach 310 before high-speed corners. In sports mode, the performance of GT is also considered outstanding. Continue to corner, brake to slow down, and step on the switch to accelerate...several hairpin turns and high-speed turns in a row Down, the most uncomfortable thing for An Feng is that he doesn''t need to change gears.


    In the past, the gear position was always precisely controlled to maintain the speed, but now you just step on the switch and watch the speed of the motor break through 10,000 or 20,000. The high speed is already comparable to that of an F1 car, and the motor uses more than 85% of the energy. The rate is far higher than the level of gasoline, and the speed is increased even more.


    After running five consecutive laps, An Feng''s fastest lap time was 1 minute and 43 seconds, the electric car is against the sky! Although it takes 3.2 seconds to accelerate from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers, the motor will not be weak in the acceleration section of 0-200 kilometers and 0-300 kilometers. It has endless power at any speed.


    After the test run, An Feng said with emotion: "Dual motors are simply a new era of electric vehicles!"


    "Of course." Bruno also thinks so, "As long as the electric energy is guaranteed, the development of electric motors will be more vigorous. At present, we have only tapped the potential of a small part of electric motors, but the gasoline engine has almost reached its limit. The future will definitely be electric. of."


    They were also chatting about the cost.


    The performance is so outstanding and the cost is not low. The high-performance version of the battery is customized by GP Energy, even the battery system, which can make the most reasonable use of resources. In addition, although the motor is assembled by them, the core components are all purchased, and they perform performance debugging.


    The cost of these two is very high. Fortunately, the market positioning of this model has been improved. Its opponent is no longer the original ordinary sports car, but the Ferrari 458, Lamborghini Huracan, and Porsche 911. The price can also be raised to 20 to the $250,000 level.


    Calculated in this way, the profit is actually quite good.


    But how to publicize it and change people''s previous inherent impression? Let more people know that after separating from Fiat, Maserati has risen?


    An Feng had an idea: "How about holding a series of events?"


    Bruno asked: "Specifically?"


    "In the United States, find three to five race venues, provide racing cars, and attract drivers to participate with high rewards. Ten to fifteen drivers are needed, just like your previous Trofeo-MC World Championships. Now hold a race How about promoting the pure electric MC Challenge?"


    Bruno nodded: "It''s a good idea."


    "If necessary, I can sponsor this series." An Feng is the least short of money now, "including its title, sponsorship and event rewards, etc."


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 334： supersonic

    Chapter 334 Supersonic


    Recently, An Feng, who thinks he has no place to spend money, is very concerned about things.


    In order to promote GT models, Maserati can hold a professional challenge, with about five races, and increase the rewards for the top three to attract teams to participate. At the same time, increase the promotion of the event, and if the effect is good, there may be a TV broadcast. In addition, the share of the ticket fee is also good.


    But the most fundamental reason is that An Feng likes it.


    The performance of the dual-motor sports car is very outstanding. It can set a record of 1 minute and 43 seconds for a single lap. Even if he is driving the McLaren P1, the fastest time is 1 minute and 38 seconds. However, the two are not at the same level. P1 is the top The flagship supercar of Maserati GT, while the positioning of Maserati GT is lower.


    An Feng felt that it was necessary for a sports car with such outstanding performance and environmental protection to stand out in front of everyone.


    In addition to the promotional models, there are also GP Energy batteries.


    Graphene batteries have completely made Tesla popular, and the most important thing is the battery. When the battery is used in other brands of models and performs equally well, it can play a very good role in brand promotion. Or GP Energy can also sponsor one or two in this event and show their face.


    After Bruno learned of An Feng''s idea, he asked: "With Maserati''s brand influence, it is not difficult to form a team with enough racing cars, and there is no problem in choosing a venue, but the five-race race is a bit short, and What about the game rewards?"


    An Feng said: "If the GP company is named, the rewards for the top five points can reach 12 million."


    Money is invincible, Bruno has nothing to say: "If the reward funds can be raised, there will be no problem with the competition. Such a high reward, coupled with pure electric events, will attract teams to participate, but five races are too short. not be able to arouse public interest."


    "This is the United States." An Feng reminded him, "They all like to watch NASCAR racing cars going around in an oval circle, which is different from Europe."


    Bruno understood: "This is also a reason."


    "So buddy," An Feng said with a smile, "five races are enough, I mainly look at its effect and attractiveness, if it is good enough, next time I will find sponsorship for the event and make it a world championship. Europe, Asia and North America, what do you think?"


    What else can Bruno do? You have so much money, what can stop you from playing?


    Bruno gave an affirmative answer, saying that he would discuss a plan as soon as possible��in fact, he also likes to use races to promote racing cars, but it��s just a matter of funds. In addition to bonuses, races also require a lot of expenses. Of course, as long as An Feng is happy, many difficulties will not become obstacles.


    An Feng went back and shared his thoughts with Joanna.


    "You mean, you want to compete as a driver?" Joanna confirmed.


    "Of course, don''t you think it''s cool?" An Feng said, holding her hand, "I know your worries, but wasn''t it good last time?"


    Although An Feng is not a professional driver, he is really crazy on the track, especially in the opening round of the circuit, and he is not willing to give in to the professional drivers. This is probably the same as Joanna who likes equestrianism and ignores its dangers. An Feng also has a sport he is passionate about.


    Joanna said: "Okay, but it''s a professional race, and you''re not a professional driver!"


    An Feng smiled: "Of course, I will be careful."


    ��


    Strictly speaking, this challenge is just a test of pure electric racing. Let��s see its performance on the field. If it is very attractive, it can be expanded in the future to take the lead in electric car competitions. An Feng is not competitive, and he doesn''t think he can compete with professional drivers.


    He joined it just for fun, to enjoy the racing driver''s addiction.


    Therefore, he does not require the level of the contestants. If they are all top-notch, what is there to watch every time he runs behind? Anyway, there are quite a lot of groups of relatives and friends. If you participate in the competition by yourself, at least 60 to 70% of the partners who supported the opening ceremony last time will come, right? You can''t play well if you fall too far behind.


    An Feng participated with the mentality of playing soy sauce.


    Amateur skills can be used, but the process must be rigorous. In addition to the main drivers, the participating teams must also have logistics, such as technical directors, engineers, technicians, team managers, etc. After thinking about it, An Feng contacted two drivers he knew��Duke and Howard, and told them about the matter.


    Originally, An Feng wanted to invite them to join the competition, but the two of them are not too young, and it��s okay to play once in a while, but they can��t keep up physically and mentally if they want to engage in professional competitions. After discussing on the phone, they discussed the idea of ??forming a team, with Duke as the team manager and Howard as the technical director.


    They hit it off immediately, and the name was decided: GP team.


    Obviously, the sponsor must be a GP company, spending tens of millions to play racing cars, which is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for a large company with a revenue of 20 billion. GP Energy has a lot to do with cars, and has always had plans to enter racing. Money is not an issue, now only the selection of team members needs to be considered.


    Duke and Howard have a lot of ideas, and the details can be discussed all day. An Feng is a layman on these details, so he let them chat. With their help, he can rest easy. Now his purpose is to get the current car, modify it within the scope allowed by the organizer, and prepare for the race.


    ��


    The preparation of the event is very time-consuming. First, after the Geneva Motor Show in March, the GT model will be unveiled, and then Maserati will announce the "MC Challenge", using the GT model, revealing a huge prize money, and inviting the team to participate. After going through complicated procedures, it will take May at the earliest.


    Time is not urgent, the team has not yet formed! In order to win honors, the GP team must have more than one driver, at least one powerful professional driver must be hired. Count on An Feng? The big boss is just for fun! Later facts proved that when the driver was practicing, he was still on vacation.


    A few days later, An Feng met Matthew in Los Angeles.


    Bida��s new product launch will be held locally. After the order volume of high-end products continued to rise, the mid-to-low-end press conference also won applause. On the other hand, foreign cooperative sales channels are also paving the way, and the British Hart family is communicating with the government, preparing to give the green light to enter Europe.


    The press conference was very grand, with big stars from all walks of life joining in, and the popularity was very hot. As a member of the board of directors, An Feng also chatted with some big customers and made a few big orders. After the press conference was over, I sat with Matthew when I had time, had a cup of tea, had some snacks, and chatted idlely.


    "How is she now, is she okay?" An Feng asked.


    Matthew said: "It''s not bad. The due date is April. I''ve been really busy recently."


    An Feng has a deep understanding: "Flying between the east and west coasts, jet lag tortures people, so use holographic communication in the future."


    Matthew said: "Holographic communication is convenient, but not suitable for all environments."


    "That''s right." An Feng nodded, like the press conference just ended, it is impossible to realize holographic communication, "It seems that you have to consider supersonic flight."


    An Feng was joking, but Matthew said: "It''s not unrealistic for you to mention this. Recently, Aerion has launched a range-extended version of the supersonic business jet SBJ. Based on the original fastest Mach 1.6, it extends the range It has increased to 11,000 kilometers, which is very eye-catching.��


    An Feng was curious: "A supersonic airliner? To fly so fast, don''t you have to use a turbojet engine? How can the noise like a fighter jet be avoided?"


    Matthew shook his head: "You''re wrong about this. It doesn''t use a turbojet engine, but a turbofan engine like an airliner, which is the JT8D-219 specially improved by Pratt & Whitney, which is widely used on Boeing 737 airliners. After the improvement , it can break through the sound barrier and fly for a long time.��


    Mr. An has seen it: "So, it only takes 2.2 hours to fly from New York to Los Angeles, which is twice as fast as ordinary civil aviation."


    "In theory, this is the case, but like most countries, the United States does not allow supersonic flight, at most it can only cruise at subsonic speed." Matthew said.


    "Isn''t this tasteless?" An Feng was puzzled.


    Matthew explained: "I''m just talking about the airspace of the United States, but it is not a public area. It will take a lot of time to cross the Pacific Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean."


    "That''s true." An Feng nodded.


    "Quick, time-saving and stylish, are you interested?" Matthew asked.


    "Are you a salesman?" An Feng said with a smile.


    "You can say that if you want, because the company''s shareholders and I are friends." Matthew also smiled, "He recommended it to me, but I spend most of my time in the United States and only occasionally fly to Europe. But you, young people can''t travel all over the world. Walk? It only takes three hours from New York to London."


    "How much will it cost? How long?" An Feng asked, "I can''t wait for too long."


    "About 90 million US dollars, VVIP will take the first order for you, and it will be completed in one and a half years, and you can enjoy the Ferrari in the sky in the future."


    "It''s not cheap." An Feng said.


    "It will save half the time of your journey. It takes three hours to go to London, and only six hours to go to China. The earth is getting smaller. Do you think it''s worth it? I think the few planes you bought are more than 70 million Right? Sell one of them and replace it with a faster one?"


    It may not be a bad idea for Matthew to ask him to sell the plane and replace it with a faster one.


    For now, he has two intercontinental business jets, and the Global 8000 is the most frequently used one because of its comfort and long range. However, the Gulfstream G650ER��s frequency has been reduced due to the arrival of the Global 8000. Occasionally, the flight within the United States is also Proximity principle, too lazy to use it.


    If you sell the Gulfstream second-hand, and spend a little more money in your pocket, you can change it to a supersonic aircraft to catch up with the trend, which seems to be a good choice. I definitely don��t need it normally, but with the expansion of the consortium��s strategy, if there is any business that needs to be rushed in the future, supersonic aircraft are also good...


    In this way, An Feng''s reason convinced himself.


    He asked Matthew for contact information, made an appointment, and went to the aircraft manufacturing base in Nevada to see Aerion''s supersonic aircraft. As shown in the photo, in order to overcome the speed of sound, it has a long and thin shape, much longer than the Global 8000, but very narrow and small.


    It can accommodate up to 12 passengers, and the standard is 8 passengers. If you want to experience supersonic speed, the fewer passengers, the better. An Feng and the customer manager experienced the SBJ version. The extended-range version currently only has a test prototype and has not been released, but the SBJ model is also enough to experience supersonic speed.


    There are countless people in the world who have flown in an airplane, but very few have been able to experience supersonic flight��this kind of thing seems to only happen to fighter jets. The current commercial airliner has achieved this. When it broke through the sound barrier, An Feng was completely shocked.


    One word: fierce.


    Under the maximum thrust, the speed reaches 1800 km/h, Mach 1.7 (altitude algorithm)! The speed is more than twice that of ordinary civil aviation airliners. An Feng felt the beauty of the sound behind him... After experiencing it himself, he thought it was a good toy, so he decided to buy it.


    He ordered an 8-seater version, which is divided into two parts, front and rear. The front is four independent luxury seats, and the back is two combined seats. There is a counter on one side, which can hang an LCD TV. There is a refrigerator that can hold some drinks, beer and the like.


    The interior is very simple, and the cabin is not too wide. Just like what Matthew described as "the Ferrari of an airplane", it pursues speed, but naturally cannot take comfort into consideration. But the journey is greatly shortened, and for passengers, there is no need to pursue short-term enjoyment��because the end point has been reached unconsciously.

 Chapter 335： The much-anticipated press conference

    Chapter 335 The much-anticipated press conference


    After booking the plane, An Feng can consider selling Gulfstream.


    There is no rush now. It will be a year and a half before the delivery of the supersonic aircraft to the customer. If there are not enough manpower, it may be even later. If you want to sell the aircraft at a good price, you have to wait patiently for the buyer. Anfeng''s Gulfstream is very new and well-maintained. It is not a problem to sell it for 60 million carefully.


    After arranging the matter to the assistant, An Feng continued to consider the competition.


    As the boss of Maserati, it is no problem for An Feng to intervene in the management, not to mention that he only cares about the events, and GP is responsible for the rest. He provided some advice on the format of the event, where and when it will be held, but more is up to the professionals.


    Maserati is involved in many professional competitions, from the original FIA-GT to the Trofeo-MC of the World Championship. They have rich experience in professional racing. Anfeng just provides some forms that he wants, and does not guarantee professionalism. If it can be adopted Just better.


    It is initially confirmed that it will be a five-stop competition, which will be held in various states in the United States. There are not many permanent traditional tracks in the United States for touring car racing. At present, we are looking for racing tracks that have hosted F1, such as Long Beach in California, Austin Speedway, or Las Vegas and Detroit are also under consideration.


    Soldiers and horses go ahead without food and fodder. Although Maserati has not announced the establishment of the "MC Challenge", GP Energy is planning a "GP Team" with inextricably linked insiders. The company intends to participate in events like Red Bull to increase its popularity.


    An Feng��s invitation to Duke and Howard was also carefully considered. In the field of professional racing, the company has no experience and needs to hire someone familiar with the industry. Duke is very good at running the team, the family has sponsored the NASCAR team; and Howard is very good at modifying, the last time the Ferrari F12 was personally operated by him, and he can compete with P1 and 599XX on the track. One can imagine.


    It was a good idea to invite both of them to collaborate. According to An Feng, give them 10% of the team share, and the team will be able to share dividends when they have profits, and at the same time encourage them to contribute to the team. Duke and Howard don''t dispute that. Have a hobby, but also have some benefits.


    The three of them got together and discussed the event.


    Howard said: "The car can only be modified after the organizers issue modification regulations, restrictions on motor modification, and overall performance requirements."


    Duke said: "You have to consider that it is pure electric, which is different from traditional cars."


    An Feng has a deep understanding of this point: "Driving on the track, the gear and the speed can be ignored, and the torque is already at the maximum when the switch is stepped on."


    Howard said: "Then I have to try the new car."


    An Feng pointed to the garage on the side: "It''s inside, the unreleased Maserati GT sports car, you two can go up and test drive."


    Duke looked at Howard: "Shall we go?"


    "Of course." Howard was very interested. The two got into the car and drove on the track for about 20 minutes. After getting off, they already had a profound experience.


    Duke is very satisfied: "It can be seen that it is a road sports car model, but it can run out of the racing track. Pure electric power is amazing."


    An Feng nodded: "Maserati''s technicians will probably test the electric motor to improve the fairness of the competition, and modifying the electric motor will limit the power, so they will focus more on other aspects, such as ECU, differential, suspension system or brakes. "


    Howard said: "These are very easy. It has many similarities with the tradition, including the modification of the shape. It is very important to conform to the aerodynamic principle of the track race."


    The three started researching on professional car modification. Although the rules have not been issued, they have a new car and can plan ahead. The division of labor also began. Duke is responsible for the operation of the team, the recruitment of personnel, and the logistics team is very important. It happens that he is very familiar with this aspect and has many friends.


    Howard''s technical director plays a very important role. He is responsible for the modification of the car, the tacit training of the training technician team, and occasionally serves as a test driver. It seems not easy, but for car fans, testing their modified vehicles is a sense The ultimate experience, he is very happy.


    As for An Feng...in charge of soy sauce and money.


    ��


    One more important thing in February.


    Berger''s Nokia is about to be released. A lot of public relations work has been done before, and a lot of publicity and advertising have been done. With the promotion of GP, Nokia''s turnaround is highly anticipated. The time frame was fixed in late February, and Burger held a global conference in London.


    As the major shareholder, Joanna was naturally invited to attend.


    On the day of the press conference, An Feng and Joanna arrived in London and were invited to attend this high-profile press conference.


    Escorted by bodyguards and a special car, he arrived at the press conference in a certain hotel. Before the press conference started, many journalists and news media had already gathered at the scene. Simply Nokia''s press conference won''t get too much attention, but coupled with GP''s publicity, the meaning is different.


    Now the whole world is staring at graphene technology, from batteries to chips to screens, Nokia has revealed some news about microprocessors, successfully arousing everyone''s curiosity. You know, so far, the only thing that uses graphene technology in handheld mobile devices is the battery.


    Battery can improve the experience of consumers to a higher level. If there are chips and display screens, what will be the result? It is very exciting, and the attention is high. The lucky viewers who were invited to participate in the release were very excited, and they queued up early with the invitation letter.


    An Feng arrived at the right time. The two Audis stopped, and there was a crowd of people outside. Under the **** of cameras and bodyguards, he walked into the venue in a low-key manner. After An Feng and Joanna sat down, they were surrounded by acquaintances.


    Louis Hart, who was in charge of Berg Company, was also present, but like An Feng, he was the manager behind the scenes, the chairman, not the CEO standing at the front. After they exchanged a few pleasantries, the press conference was held soon. The venue is very large, and there is a huge projection screen on the stage.


    The company''s CEO Richards took the stage and began to host the press conference.


    Richards is tall and thin, and his clothes are very serious. He has a suit, tie, and shiny leather shoes, which reflect the rigidity of the British. He didn''t go on stage like Mr. Joe, who wore a black shirt with jeans and sneakers, deliberately showing his personality charm. There''s a little energy missing here.


    But how about the individual, it does not affect the product, and the press conference did not disappoint the reporters. After the simple opening remarks, the big screen behind him remained unchanged, but a holographic image was projected from the bottom of the stage, continuing the content of the press conference with a highly simulated picture. Immediately After amazed the audience.


    Although GP has disclosed the holographic projection technology, the commercialization is not yet ready, and this needs to be done by a dedicated department, or GP Electronics can promote it. Anyway, what you can have on the market is either the members of the consortium or the technicians of the company.


    Live experience with real holographic technology, so that everyone''s attention is focused on the stage.


    With the advent of high technology, the press conference immediately became grand. Richards first showed off their in-depth cooperation with GP, and then extended the topic to mobile phones. Starting from every detail, including the key graphene screen, The frequency reaches 150GHz and integrates a GPU chip, which can make the running score party completely lose the fun of running the score, and it can be accepted by the perfect party with peace of mind.


    What he holds and holographic projection is the current first high-tech mobile phone, Nokia''s R series. R means "rebirth", and it also means a new start, allowing the audience and reporters to make up their own minds. But the model is second, and the focus is still on the phone itself.


    The powerful performance is beyond doubt. Another bright spot is the new system, which has a certain degree of intelligence, can be customized, and can be automatically programmed by combining your favorite functions. Although it is still in the testing stage, the fresh experience is very high.


    Let me talk about the compatibility of the new system, but there is not too much content in it, there is no need to promote the two major mobile phone systems, the new system is very open, the program design is simple, and many interesting apps can be added in the future. Backward compatibility is only a transitional period.


    After the introduction of software and hardware, the conference is already half successful.


    The invited audience and reporters all applauded that it is worth it. Whether it is a technology feast or a news report tomorrow morning, they can already foresee its popularity, and most of them have the idea of ??buying one to experience it. From this point of view, the conference has been very successful.


    But there are more exciting things to come.


    In the applause of everyone, continue to the next item. The tenacity of graphene has been promoted before, and now it is necessary to show a real sword in front of the public. There are two tables at the scene, a fish tank is placed on one table with several goldfish swimming in it, and a box is placed on the other table.


    Richards, under the attention of the camera, threw his mobile phone into the fish tank, sat at another table, and took out what everyone was guessing about��walnuts. Laughter suddenly erupted at the scene, and An Feng also laughed. It seems that no matter at home or abroad, everyone has a deep understanding of smashing walnuts.


    Richards held up the walnut: "I think everyone knows that this is a walnut, very hard, and you can''t enjoy its deliciousness with ordinary methods."


    "We can''t carry a hammer with us." Richards picked up the Nokia, "but I have it."


    The scene laughed again, and Richards said seriously: "Trust me, it won''t let you down."


    As soon as the voice fell, the Nokia screen fell on the walnuts on the table! There was a crackling sound, and the audience held their breath. He did it again, and the walnut was smashed. The audience could feel the damage to the mobile phone just by listening to the sound. If it was an apple in their hands, the other kidney would probably be gone...


    But Richards was not in a hurry, calmly picked up the phone and showed it to the camera and the audience. Everyone could clearly see that the impact point of the walnut was the screen. He wiped it with his hands and it was unscathed. Turn on the computer, use the program normally, and make a call.


    The Nokia in the goldfish bowl rang.


    "That''s it," Richards said.


    The audience burst into loud applause. Violent and direct, Nokia smashed walnuts, and the legend of blocking bullets returned! And in this form of contempt for other competitors! Enough to pull, but also enough to capture the confidence of consumers. Then continue to show other means of violence.


    Such as dropping a mobile phone, scratching the screen, etc. It can be said that as long as it is not intentionally violently damaged and does not affect the circuit board inside, the graphene screen and metal body can completely withstand it, and the airtightness is also very good, at least until Cell phones in the water are still working.


    Richards also said a fact in the form of a joke: "Strictly speaking, when you are facing a bullet and cornered, please believe it!"


    The strength of graphene is more than 20 times that of the "Kevlar" material used in current body armor, and more than 100 times that of steel. As long as the multi-layer splicing of graphene can be realized-this is the most difficult part-it can be manufactured The strongest, lightest body armor ever made.


    And just right, GP company has this ability.


    Even if the screen is not as strong as bulletproof material, but blocking bullets...maybe not a legend!


    Finally, the press conference came to an end with long applause from the audience.


    The reporters who edited with notebooks on the spot were excited. This is undoubtedly the most sensory press conference they have ever seen. In the first half, they showed off the technology of GP, which can only be described as "invincible". In the second half, they smashed their phones violently The process made the audience shout wonderful.


    Now if there is a questionnaire survey, almost all participating audiences will choose to buy it and experience it.


    Something so high-tech, it feels primitive to miss out.


    After the press conference, the shareholders were presented with brand new mobile phones, as were An Feng and Joanna. Experience technology was at the forefront. Take a trip to London and get two of the world''s most powerful mobile phones. On that day, the news around the world began to report fiercely on the matter of Nokia mobile phones.


    News websites in various countries, especially those related to mobile phone technology, as long as you click on the homepage, you can see the video of the press conference about Nokia��s ��Rebirth�� series, and even some websites that have nothing to do with technology have room for space. The official YouTube video has gone viral.


    Berg Company did not hire any sailors, but now as long as you go online, you can more or less see related reports. The media collectively climaxed and promoted Berg Company for free, even if some executives of mobile phone manufacturers complained Big screens, metal bodies or whatever, it doesn''t help.


    How those high-level executives complained and felt that the high-end mobile phones they produced could not cover up the technological light brought by Nokia. Even if there were flaws, people were immersed in the powerful technology of GP and the incomparable mobile phones at this time. Can''t afford the slightest disturbance.


    As things went smoothly, there were hot discussions on the Internet and hot news. Burger Company stated that it would put into production as soon as possible, and the cooperation with Asian foundries was also under negotiation. It depends on the production of GP Electronics.


    "Quasi-fans" turned their attention to GP Electronics.


    Over the past few years, GP has successfully developed to the point where the world has become numb. The only pity is that they are too mysterious and procrastinating��in fact, this is an illusion caused by too hot demand. Even if GP is twice as fast, they It cannot make up for future needs.


    GP Electronics is also under a lot of pressure. Recently, it has been working on mainframe and PC processors, and now it is spreading mobile processors... But the spokesperson said that he will go all out, and finally let some impatient Nokia fans settle down, and turn to Expect the first shipments probably in March.


    After An Feng returned to the United States, he simply browsed the news and heaved a sigh of relief. The mobile phone is very popular, which proves that the efforts these days have not been in vain.

 Chapter 336： Xiaobais new toy

    Chapter 336 Xiaobai''s new toy


    According to Anfeng''s prediction on the life cycle of electronic products, it can be popular for about three to four generations. GP''s current technology is very novel and advanced, but when users hold the first, second or third generation phones and reach aesthetic fatigue, it cannot Innovate and decline.


    An Feng''s goal is straightforward: wait until the most profitable peak period, he must have reaped enough profits, and then cash out Joanna''s 30% share. This will be a long-term operation, because it often takes half a year or even more time for the stock market to digest it for major shareholders to cash out.


    The profit from profit to stock cashing may bring about 50 billion U.S. dollars in profit. If it develops better, for example, if the market value of Burger Company is 300 billion, a 30% share means 90 billion. Adding operating profit, a proper It is more than 100 billion, and the future is very bright.


    An Feng''s real idea is to inflate the brand value and sell it slowly at the high point of the stock price. As for making money from selling mobile phones, to be honest, it is really not as profitable as selling shares. The intentions are sinister, but the words are the same, the stock market is risky. After the press conference, they went to Oxfordshire to pick up people.


    Joanna''s former housekeeper, Mr. Arthur Brandon decided to come out to help them deal with the current "mess". Joanna intentionally made a terrible statement about her life. After gaining sympathy, even the coldest ice cubes will melt, let alone this enthusiastic old man.


    For a real top professional butler, the annual salary of one million pounds is certain, even if other people ask for one million pounds, the old man is not interested. This time it was very face-saving, and the old man also said that in addition to choosing qualified servants, he would also help them train their successor housekeepers.


    Brandon is old and will have to retire sooner or later. Training qualified butlers for them is his current idea. An Feng knows very little about this, and he still has a lot to learn. As a "noble teacher", the purpose of the British butler''s existence is to make the master look like a three-generation nobleman.


    With the change of An Feng''s status, he does not require himself to be like a traditional British nobleman��too rigid and boring, but in terms of behavior, he must at least conform to his identity. So he needs a teacher like Brandon to perfect all his shortcomings.


    ��


    Back to California, Brandon began to preside over the work.


    Wu Qian didn''t reject this, on the contrary, she wanted to ask Brandon for advice. In the industry, it is very rare to meet a real top butler, especially in a place like the United States, where it is almost impossible. And if the family is large, both a butler and a housekeeper are needed.


    Brandon began to get acquainted with every aspect of Anfeng''s life, including his residence, habits, and the status and social status of his guests... The final result is very satisfactory. Anfeng''s circle of friends is concentrated in the upper class, and there are even some affected Nobles who are sealed are not boring.


    An Feng, who has no worries, continues to work.


    The research and development of the robot company has two focuses: humanoid machines and biological machines.


    The humanoid machine is nicknamed "Terminator" by everyone. It is very vivid, but it is not as powerful as in the movie, invulnerable to fire and water. The current experimental model has an attack capability beyond ordinary people, but it is also very fragile. Once the circuit board is damaged, it will lose control.


    Hoffman''s group is considering simplifying or putting the protection circuit, such as building the circuit into the bone, or reducing the core of the mechanical drive, and adopting a modular design for easy replacement. It needs to be done step by step, thankfully, the conditions are good enough for them to play.


    Biological machines, to put it bluntly, are parts other than humanoid machines.


    For example, the mechanical dog that An Feng saw last time, don��t look at it can only be cute and coquettish, and is harmless to humans and animals. Just replace the chip for it, so that when it runs the program of a tiger, it will face a dog made of exoskeleton and titanium alloy. machine, it will be the nightmare of many carbon-based organisms.


    The research and development of biological machines is faster than humanoid machines, because it is relatively simple. At present, chips that store species information can be implanted into biological bodies, and use the best battery sold by GP Energy, and the battery life of a simulated medium-sized pet dog Around five to six hours.


    It seems very short, but it is impossible for a real pet to play with you for five or six hours without getting tired. During the intermission, you can charge it. Graphene batteries have one property: fast! Using a special high-voltage charger, it can be charged to 70% in five minutes and fully charged in ten minutes.


    When An Feng was teasing the dog in the laboratory, he suddenly thought of a good idea.


    Make one yourself.


    The idea has been there before, but not as well developed as it is now. Now that the technology is mature and there are 3D printers, he is fully qualified to create a unique robot pet. In terms of proficiency, he is the most powerful technical man in the world - just impatient.


    As long as he has a goal, he is very motivated. Now it��s time to find a little partner for Xiaobai. It has never had a suitable opponent. It is impossible for people to play with it. It is difficult to meet ferocious beasts in places like the United States. , In the end, only oneself can create the conditions.


    Do it as soon as you think of it, procrastination is not good. An Feng went to draw first, he needed a body length of 120 cm, a weight of about 100 kg, fast speed, strong attack power, and he had to withstand the impact. Be Xiaobai''s friend at ordinary times, and can take care of the nursing home when necessary.


    After thinking about it, the figure of the leopard appeared in his mind. No matter in size, speed, or attack ability, it was in line with An Feng''s imagination. He drew the design in his mind, then called in helpers and asked to make it a holographic three-dimensional map.


    After the hologram is formed, precision components can be manufactured with a 3D printer, which is much more costly than traditional subtractive manufacturing methods, but since there are high technologies, he will not consider anything else. In terms of appearance, considering frequent biting and collisions, An Feng uses some tough but not hard synthetics.


    It took a few days to complete the conception. The interior of the robot pet is mainly made of titanium alloy, which is strong enough, let alone a tiger bite, even a bomb may not be able to destroy it. For the skin part, a soft but not easily damaged material is used in order to avoid damage to the tiger''s teeth.


    ��


    a week later.


    An Feng''s plane returned to the vineyard from San Jose and brought a mysterious gift.


    He got off the plane, followed by a pet with a gray-gold leopard print. Anyone who looked at it knew it was an adult-sized leopard, but in the details such as eyes and walking, he could feel the mechanization, and if If you touch it, you can feel the coldness.


    "Honey, come here!" An Feng said impatiently as soon as he entered the room.


    "What is it?" She came out, her eyes swept over the leopard behind An Feng, "A leopard? Where did you bring it back?"


    "It''s called ''Xiaohua'', Xiaobai''s new friend." An Feng knelt down and rubbed the mechanical leopard''s head, no matter how vulgar the name was, he called it by the way.


    "Can they live in peace?" Joanna walked over. Although she didn''t know what An Feng was doing, she felt that the leopards were not hostile.


    "Of course." An Feng said with certainty, "Of course they will fight too. I brought Xiaohua back to relieve Xiaobai''s boredom."


    "Isn''t it proportional?" Joanna sat down and looked at the unblinking leopard, feeling that its eyes were dull and lifeless... It seemed that it was not breathing.


    An Feng said with a smile: "If it is true, the leopard will definitely lose to the tiger, but haven''t you found out yet?"


    Joanna stretched out her hand towards the leopard, and seeing that An Feng didn''t intend to warn, she felt relieved to touch the leopard''s head.


    It is very docile, but the coldness and sluggishness reminded Joanna, she said in surprise: "Is it a robot?"


    "It''s a mechanical creature!" An Feng corrected, "Right, Xiao Hua?"


    The mechanical leopard shook its bionic tail, and arched its head towards Joanna''s palm. The leopard print is soft and comfortable, but it feels weird.


    An Feng introduced: "There are pet dog programs in its chip, as well as hunting dogs and leopard programs. The conventional programs are not aggressive to humans. But when I use the remote control to put it into defense or attack state, the marked target will be It will become the target of its attack. There is also a safety insurance, start it, and the machine will stop running immediately. After testing, the probability of its failure is very low.��


    "It''s unbelievable!" Joanna looked at the leopard.


    "There are so many magical places." An Feng said with a smile, "Let''s go and call Xiaobai here, let them get to know each other, and they will be good girlfriends in the future."


    "Haha!" Joanna laughed at his strange way of addressing him.


    Later, Xiaobai and Xiaohua met in the garden. Out of biological alertness, Xiaobai immediately felt that Xiaohua was abnormal��although it had the appearance of a creature, it did not have any biological characteristics, including smell, breath and momentum. . Xiaobai is particularly sensitive to these.


    Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Hua very vigilantly, all the muscles in his body were tense, as long as the master gave an order, it could rush over and tear this uncertain thing apart. But An Feng gave it a very friendly command, squatted down to comfort it, and Xiao Hua followed the animal procedure to contact Xiao Bai.


    Animals are animals after all, and after getting acquainted with one another, they become partners.


    "Smart enough?" An Feng looked back at the surprised Joanna.


    Joanna nodded.


    "If I want it to be smarter, I can connect it to the computer in my office, give it faster calculation speed, make more agile judgments, and help correct program errors." An Feng introduced that the performance of the built-in chip core is limited. , use the cloud network to connect the minicomputer, it will be more "normal".


    Afterwards, the fight between dragons and tigers that An Feng was looking forward to was also staged. They are also fierce beasts. Xiaobai and Xiaohua cannot coexist peacefully like little white rabbits. They will target each other and constantly practice their culling skills to bite or avoid opponents. Train skills in real combat.


    Although Xiaobai''s body is a bit larger than Xiaohua''s, Xiaohua is a mechanical creature with an exoskeleton and powerful power. It is completely evenly matched. Xiaobai can slap it to the corner, and Xiaohua can also bounce it quickly. Pressed to the ground and bit his throat.


    Under the normal procedure, Xiaohua has no lethality. Its attack is limited. Its mouth has no teeth. It just makes Xiaobai feel nervous and his own mistakes, so as to alert it. Its four metal canines are only exposed when Xiaohua enters the hunting state.


    Xiaobai knew that this was his friend��although the ability to resist attacks was too strong, he didn''t really bite when biting. An Feng checked the bitten parts of Xiaohua several times, and there were only faint marks. Take a bite and it will leave a deep bite mark.


    It can be seen that Xiaobai likes his new partner very much.


    An Feng is also satisfied. He has been worrying about how to train Xiaobai. The United States naturally does not have the environment of the African savannah, but it is not good for Xiaobai to live a lazy life. Now that he has a new toy, he plays a game every day. Persevere, sooner or later it will be able to dominate the grassland.

 Chapter 337： "Big Bang"

    Chapter 337 "Big Bang" Random Entry


    In March, the Geneva Motor Show begins.


    The biggest highlight is pure electric vehicles. GP Energy has taken the step of challenging traditional energy sources. Not only Maserati is aggressive, but also Volkswagen and its brands, Fiat, Mercedes-Benz, Renault and Ford have launched pure electric vehicles, known as pure electric vehicles. Electric history begins.


    Different from the rough and practical concept of American cars, Europe pays more attention to the design of the shape and lines of the models, and the high-end models are even more eye-catching. Maserati��s luxury cars are stylish and atmospheric, and the shapes of GT and roadsters are extremely aggressive. The published data is as shocking as its appearance.


    Even though the electric vehicle motor technology has just developed, the horsepower that can be squeezed is terrifying in the face of an energy utilization rate of more than 90%. It easily breaks through the limit of the fuel engine and writes a new chapter��all this comes from GP''s Energy Technologies.


    Currently, countless companies are devoting themselves to the research and development of new batteries, trying to take advantage of GP��s patent loopholes, but the reality is not optimistic, and there are few successful examples��even if there are, they have to face a more realistic problem: cost. It''s okay to make it, but the cost remains high, and it will only kill yourself.


    New energy is cost-effective, and electric vehicles will naturally flourish.


    Maserati has received a lot of attention and praise at the auto show. Since leaving the Fiat Group and looking for another owner, GP, a behemoth company, is willing to spend money on it. An example is the remodeling of all its cars into pure electric vehicles. The only thing left is publicity .


    Maserati officially announced that it will hold a pure electric car event "MC Challenge" in the United States. To commemorate the racing car MC12, the model provided is Maserati GT-MC. This "MC" means "track version", pure electric, five-stop competition , can be formed by manufacturers or private teams to participate.


    The rewards are generous, the top three will have a bonus of 10 million US dollars, and the first place will be 5 million. Compared with the five races, the cost of refitting is not high, and the profit is very high, which attracts a lot of private attention. Manufacturers are also interested, such as Ford and Chevrolet, also want to form a team to participate in the race.


    GP Company announced the establishment of the "GP Team" the next day to compete in the "MC Challenge".


    As an official electric car race, it has attracted attention from all walks of life since Maserati announced it. The competition period ends at the end of April. It is planned to start in early May and be held on weekends every week. Preliminary modifications have been made to the GP teams, allowing for minor modification of the motor.


    Other requirements are the same as those of traditional touring car races. The safety conditions must meet the standards, the total weight of the vehicle body is also listed, and the power of the motor is limited. Others are free to play, usually more money is more fierce - An Feng is one of them, he has more money and a strong logistics team.


    The competition requires that the power of the motor should not exceed 750 horsepower, and the total weight should be more than 1000 kilograms, which means that there are still many places that can be disassembled, and there is room for modification of the motor. After An Feng learned the rules, he decided to ask Ans Industry to assist the motor modification.


    An Feng is thinking about using 3D printers and supercomputers.


    Electric vehicles do not use traditional permanent magnet motors, but induction motors. There are two main points for better performance: low resistivity and strong magnetic field. It just so happens that these two points have inherent advantages for superconductors. If there is a motor with zero resistance and a super-strong magnetic field, the motor will be against the sky.


    Unfortunately, room-temperature superconductivity is difficult to develop, and we can only pursue inferior technologies in this regard.


    An Feng successively communicated with the motor department of Anshi Industry, the technology department of Superconductor Corporation, and discussed the electric motors for racing cars and the electric motors for Maserati in the future. Satisfactory results were obtained in two consecutive days, and a project team was established to specialize in electric motors. research and development.


    ��


    A few days later, An Feng took the mechanical leopard to the company.


    Although Xiao Hua performed quite well, there are also some minor flaws, and An Feng needs to make post-production adjustments to it.


    He came to the project office of the robot company, but there was no one there. The secretary said that it was in the laboratory. Hoffman and Rich had some friends there, and it was said that they were engaged in cooperative research and development. An Feng took the elevator to the general experiment area on the seventh floor. Confidentiality requires that visitors can only move in the general area.


    I brought Xiaohua to the door of the laboratory. There were conversations and laughter coming from inside. I opened the door and walked in. The lights in the room were dim and there were quite a few people. Hoffman and Rich were there, as well as a few of their friends. , one tall and three short, playing Star Wars and the background music of the Empire March.


    The guy who is short, wearing a jacket, curly hair and black-rimmed glasses is holding a shiny "weapon" in his hand, and he can feel its temperature and energy from a distance��this is not a toy! An Feng could tell at a glance that it was a jet-like laminar plasma beam.


    The jetted plasma flame is about eighty to ninety centimeters long, blue and white, very similar to the laser sword in Star Wars.


    The man with curly hair glasses is holding a plasma lightsaber in both hands, and the handle is connected to a finger-thick cable. The plasma launcher and the cable are a bit heavy. He wields the lightsaber with difficulty, as if entering the role, dragging his voice: " Sheldon! I have bad news, Star Wars Day is coming up!"


    "I won''t care about a dead man!" The tall man also picked up the plasma launcher and sprayed out a longer and thicker plasma beam, with an arrogant tone: "Obviously, Leonard, the power of my lightsaber jet is higher than You, the plasma beam is 1.5 meters long, you have an absolute advantage!"


    "No, it''ll just tie you up!" Leonard said, and they confronted each other, posing.


    Rich called out: "Wait! Why is your plasma beam so long, Sheldon?"


    "I''m glad you noticed this." Sheldon said arrogantly, "I just modified a few of the parts. According to your design concept, it may not be possible to break through in a few years. But now... you will know me as Proud. Thank you, bright head!"


    Leonard said nervously: "Have you considered that the transmitter can withstand such a high power?"


    "Please, I''m not like you." Sheldon smiled. "I mean, I''m obviously smarter."


    Hoffman said weakly: "Did you just lower the resistance of the transmitter and change the position of the generator?"


    "Why do you know?" Sheldon looked at him like he shouldn''t know.


    "I have to stay away from you." Hoffman took a few steps back, "I did the same thing last time, and it turned out to be bad."


    An Indian asked: "What will happen?"


    Hoffman shrugged, and Rich stepped back to the power source: "It will burn the transmitter."


    "Throw it away quickly! Sheldon!" A man with a mushroom head and a big nose next to him pointed at him in surprise, "I saw it catch fire!"


    "Oh my god!" Sheldon threw the heated transmitter to the ground, Rich also cut off the power in time, the lights in the laboratory were turned on, a burning smell wafted, and the lightsaber burned the ground almost black sheet of paper. The technical nerds looked at each other, not expecting this to happen.


    Hoffman spotted An Feng: "Mr. An!"


    Others also looked over. Rich looked at the ground and explained: "Sir, we are testing the laminar plasma beam, and there is something wrong."


    "Be careful." An Feng looked at the four strangers.


    Rich introduced: "Sir, they are my friends, Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Raj, from Caltech."


    "Hello!" An Feng nodded.


    "Hi." The tall Sheldon stepped forward, looked at him suspiciously, and said seriously, "Are you the one who said that superstring theory cannot completely explain the universe?"


    "It''s me." An Feng nodded, "Superstring is not perfect, if you want to convince me, I have enough evidence to overthrow your idea."


    "No!" Sheldon shook his head confidently, "The absurd theory you listed has already excluded phenomena below the Planck scale, and..."


    After hearing what he said, An Feng picked up the tablet on the side, connected to the server with the cloud network, and displayed a lot of content, handing it over to Sheldon, who is very conceited and thinks he can never make mistakes: "There is enough explanation in it, After reading it, you will understand that what I said is different from what you think."


    "How is that possible!" Shelton took the computer indifferently, but after seeing it, his mouth grew too big and he couldn''t close his mouth. He walked to the side and sat down with dull eyes.


    Leonard stepped forward at this time and explained: "His EQ is a bit low, I hope you can understand, sir. And I like your pet, it is so beautiful!"


    "Is it a pure machine?" asked the Indian scientist Raj.


    "Of course. Part of it is made by 3D printing technology, and more than a dozen sets of exoskeletons are used to ensure the firmness and flexibility of the body." An Feng said.


    "How beautiful!" Howard squatted down and observed Xiaohua, "Bionic robots are very reliable, which means that machines with female characters are also achievable..."


    "No, don''t say that again, Howard." Leonard has just stopped Howard from wanting to talk about the special purpose of the female simulation machine.


    A group of people chattered about the robot pet brought by An Feng, and Ricky sorted out his rhetoric: "The four of them came over to discuss some key technologies with us, for example, Leonard is very insightful about laser technology, and Howard''s compound eyes Cameras are also worth developing����


    After listening to the explanation, An Feng understood that these four guys all have research projects at Caltech, and their IQs are not low. They are all geniuses, and they all have eccentricities. They also had some friendship with Hoffman and Rich, so they stopped by to visit the class.


    The "plasma lightsaber" that appeared today is the improvement of Rich''s technology by these tech geeks. He originally only used laminar flow plasma as the heat source of the 3D printer, but after increasing the power and improving the restraint device, the tech nerds restored it. Technology from some Star Wars movies.


    In addition to the dazzling lightsaber technology, Sheldon''s improved plasma beam is of great help to 3D printing. An Feng calculated that it will obtain a higher and more stable temperature and be able to sinter more materials...according to the cost , saving a lot of energy and money.


    To express his gratitude, An Feng took time to chat with them about academic issues.


    Apparently, four geniuses are no better than one brain, but An Feng was amazed by their flexibility and flexibility in the professional field. Otherwise, An Feng really wanted to keep them.

    PS: A while ago, a book friend asked for a guest appearance, and I just watched the latest season recently, and it went smoothly. In addition, I haven''t added updates for a long time, and I will add updates tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

 Chapter 338： GP listed

    Chapter 338 GP listing


    Meeting is fate. An Feng chatted with the four geniuses, raised Sheldon''s theory of grand unification, talked with Leonard about cosmic rays and lasers, and talked about some imaginations about intelligent machines and dark matter. After listening to these miraculous expositions, the four guys fell into thinking.


    Before leaving in the afternoon, Shelton specifically talked to him: "Although your theory is complicated and cumbersome, and I have a more streamlined one, thank you for your reminder. I think there are only two people in the world who are smart enough. One cannot imagine how wonderful it is.��


    An Feng: "..."


    Finally, he sent away the group of live treasures.


    Hoffman''s team has also completed the inspection of the mechanical leopard, and then added some more humane content to the chip, but it still needs to continue testing for another day to see if there are any conflicts between different data... An Feng will come back the next day , to check the operation of the new program together.


    ��


    In the afternoon, Xiaohua''s test found no problems, so An Feng took her home.


    There is no opponent for a day, Xiaobai just yawns lazily all day long, and he doesn��t know who to play with except for being cute. The winery currently has more than a dozen hounds, but tigers are so big that they can��t play with them. It''s about the same size as an animal, but obviously not something it can play with.


    In the end, the florets that are not bad to bite or smash are the most suitable.


    An Feng looked at the two guys who continued to play together. Although Xiaohua has no memory, everything is carried out according to the program. Whatever Xiaobai does, it will adjust accordingly. But for toys, you can''t ask too much, it''s just high-end Electric toys, not smart machines.


    The days are back on track.


    More than 100 acres of grass in the vineyard have been laid in an orderly manner, and Sam and his team, who are working on the "Green Earth" project, have made progress. But each region requires a different genetic ratio, which also increases the difficulty of popularization��in An Feng''s view, it is a business opportunity.


    It cannot be easily realized, which is the key that opponents cannot imitate.


    He handed over the plan to his private team, planning to set up a company or a subsidiary of the research center to specialize in the "green earth" business. Now the lush and lush vineyard is strictly speaking the first business, and it seems to be doing well so far.


    Growing grass and trees are genetically complex, but supercomputers have not calculated genetic hazards. The theory of using supercomputers to calculate genetically modified genes or other diseases has recently gained strong support��the research center used the same set of algorithms to overcome AIDS.


    Everyone was shocked this time, including the group that originally attacked them for testing genetically modified methods as unscientific and misleading all human beings. The research center proved the correctness of the theory with facts.


    Some international media, such as the Associated Press and Reuters, have given a certain amount of coverage. Like any previous major discovery, this biological research institution has become a symbol of "God''s correctness" and invincibility. They announced The subjects can be broken through in a short time.


    There are even tabloids summing up their experience: no matter how absurd theories are, it is best not to fight against them.


    In this way of ridicule, the current status of the research center in the biological world is revealed. They have artifacts and **** theories, and they reduce the workload by 90% on the road of research and development compared to others. Basically, as long as the brain is clear, there is a little Hardworking and smart, both can get results.


    On the other hand, it has also attracted numerous research scholars.


    ��


    In March, An Feng was busy with GP Energy.


    After half a year of preparation, the company is about to go public. Even An Feng, who doesn''t care much about the company''s management, often needs to attend meetings. Fortunately, with the holographic communication now, he can communicate with the office of the GP company headquarters lazily at home to learn about all major events.


    There are too many things to prepare for listing, from the issue price to the IPO plan, to the selection of underwriters, the preparation of the plan, the choice of the securities market... An Feng is not clear about many concepts, but Joanna is a business major, and can Explain to him in a more visual way.


    At the most recent meeting, An Feng was not afraid that he didn''t understand, so he asked straightforwardly: "How much money do you plan to raise at present, and what is the issue price?"


    Benjamin Hawley, CEO of GP Company and GP spokesperson of the Texas consortium, replied: "As far as the current situation is concerned, the company''s share capital is 1 billion US dollars, and it plans to issue 50 million shares. The issue price is between 200 and 230 US dollars. At least $10 billion in funding."


    "The issue price is so high?" An Feng filtered through his mind, it seems to be the highest in history, right? The listing price of many well-known large companies is generally only a few tens of dollars. Google��s initial offering price was 100 dollars, which was later changed to 85 dollars. The first daily closing price was more than 100 points.


    However, the issuance of GP energy costs more than 200 US dollars, which is probably unprecedented.


    Matthew shook his head: "For a high-quality company that can monopolize and can''t make money, why go public?"


    Hawley said cautiously: "So the current contradiction is that the issue price is low, we lose money, and the issue price is high, and the stock market may not be able to digest it."


    An Feng thinks it makes sense. GP Energy, which is not listed, has a revenue of 20 billion. This year, factories in various places will operate, and it is expected to be 50 billion. With exponential growth, the company''s market value will be at least 300 billion. One billion share capital, if you follow simple multiplication and division, the issue price must be at least three thousand divided by ten, three hundred dollars.


    If other people know that he thinks so, he will probably die laughing, and Google will cry to death.


    But having said that, the issue price of more than two hundred US dollars can set a world record, but isn''t GP company creating miracles along the way? When it was established, its "stock price" was only sixty or seventy US dollars in funds raised at the time of its establishment. If it is listed today, no matter how low the issue is, it cannot be less than 100 US dollars.


    There is a narrative that the offering price is set as close as possible to what investors would value the stock in the open market.


    The best way is to issue 200 and report to receive 201, which is good for both parties. According to the forecast of the senior management of GP company, they believe that the issue of 200, the closing price must be above 220, and then some people push the boat to 220, some people say that there may be 230, and if they say 230, some people think that it will "break" (the stock price will fall below the issue price).


    China''s stock market is protected by policies, and it is relatively rare for new shares to break out. However, in developed countries in Europe and the United States, the stock market is already very mature, and there will be many tragedies of new stock breakouts in them. The maturity of the market will also be somewhat different from that in China. For example, the saying of daily limit and lower limit does not exist in US stocks.


    After listening to Joanna for a few days, An Feng finally understood: he was troubled by the distribution of money.


    He doesn''t care about it later, he just needs to vote on the final plan.


    ��


    A few days later, the company''s IPO was imminent, and the plan was finally released.


    Following the trend, high-tech companies naturally choose to list on NASDAQ. The final share capital of the company is determined to be one billion, and GP companies account for 68.66% of the shares. In absorbing the shares of other shareholders, it is said that the average unit price is 150 US dollars, so the issuance must be high. at $150.


    Determined to issue 50 million shares, the IPO underwriter himself: American Express Company, charged a rate of 5%, and the fee was reasonable. These are the benefits of the consortium. Many benefits seem to be scattered, but they are actually circulated among their own people. The most controversial issue price was determined at $220.


    An Feng calculated in his own mind, multiplied 220 by 1 billion, and they valued the company at 220 billion US dollars. To be honest, An Feng thinks it is a bit low. GP Energy is a company that can monopolize the world. He doesn��t think 1 trillion is too high... Maybe it��s a bit high Bar. Later he considered the technical value.


    GP Energy has no technology, they have a technology research and development department, but they are all non-core technologies, such as the design of battery shape, arrangement, combination, management system, etc., and the real core technology will always be GP company, It means value division.


    According to the issue price of 220 US dollars, 11 billion US dollars can be raised. GP companies buy in at 150 on average, and 220 when they resell, which is still a bit of a profit. In a few years, after the whole world sees the strength of the monopoly, the stock price will exceed 500... It is correct that the company will take more shares.


    An Feng attended the Austin meeting in person, had no objection to the price, and voted in favor.


    In the end, other shareholders also agreed one after another, and they faced the market with an issue price of US$220. If there is no tragedy of new shares breaking on the first day, it will be an extremely rare high-priced issue of shares in the securities market, exceeding US$200, which shows that the company''s management strong confidence and courage.


    ��


    Recently, the US stock market is most concerned about the listing of GP Energy.


    In Hawley''s several public speeches, they have stated their strong confidence. The company''s stock issue price will be above 200 US dollars, and it plans to issue 50 million shares. The reason is not explained too much. Anyway, the strength lies there. Listed, and concentrate on operating in the future.


    Concentrate on operating at a slower speed and with less funds, but more benefits can be concentrated.


    But this situation will not happen. GP Energy is different from ordinary companies. It is an epoch-making monopoly that can attack the gasoline field and pose a certain threat to the oil industry. Besides its omnipotence, future electronic equipment will be inseparable from its technology, stockholders are not stupid.


    In early April, GP Energy was listed on Nasdaq with an issue price of US$220 and 50 million shares for sale, including 30 million new shares. The opening price was US$230 on the first day and the final closing price was set at US$233. The stock market consumed those 50 million shares and brought in $11 billion to GP Energy.


    This kind of financing speed is indeed not comparable to bank loans. After the stock exchange closed that day, everyone began to celebrate. The venue was located in a private club in New York. An Feng also brought Joanna to attend. The members of the consortium congratulated each other, and the IPO of GP Energy was relatively successful.


    Based on the closing price, the market value of GP Energy is 233 billion US dollars. It has such a scale just after listing, and the future potential is very huge. The listing has also created many millionaires and multi-millionaires. The original shares in the hands of shareholders have increased by 233 times. Even if there were only 10,000 shares originally, they are now worth 2.33 million.


    The skyrocketing assets are naturally welcome to everyone, but it is obvious that its future is not limited to this.


    ��


    The news of the successful listing of GP Energy, which has attracted much attention from all walks of life, spread all over the world, and the stock market was aroused. Terrible, I kept saying that I would like to treat guests.


    "Please please, I will never be polite to you!" An Feng was using this direct method with him again.


    An Feng wanted to sell him 1 million shares back then, but Wang Le didn''t want to take too much advantage. He only wanted 300,000 shares and bought them for 3 million US dollars. Today''s 300,000 original shares are worth 69.9 million US dollars. Including his purchase of other small shareholders at a high price in the later period, there are a total of 500,000 shares, worth 116.5 million US dollars.


    This guy got rich and asked for a treat. An Feng "sorry" booked a seat at a Michelin three-star restaurant. There are also several restaurants in New York. The top taste and enjoyment are frequented by celebrities and big names. Just make an appointment one or two months in advance. , but the special card has VIP service.


    An Feng booked a table for four by the window.


    An Feng smiled: "First of all, congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Wang!"


    Wang Le smiled all over his face: "Same joy, same joy!"


    "Then we choose the most expensive set meal unceremoniously." An Feng picked up the menu and joked, "The top-notch truffles, caviar and foie gras are still limited in supply every day? First order four, and make up if there is not enough. What? How about another box of 1982 Lafite?"


    Joanna smiled: "If you can finish it."


    Wang Le was sweating: "A box? Why don''t you kill me and drink my blood!"


    An Feng said that these are of course used to tease and enliven the atmosphere. Wang Le made a fortune from the listing of GP Energy, so why not himself? GP owns 68.66% of GP Energy, worth nearly $160 billion, and Anfeng owns 51% of GP, worth $81.6 billion.


    On the bright side, An Feng is only 5% of the GP company, with a net worth of 8 billion US dollars. The GP company��s report disclosed that making him on Forbes can be regarded as an explanation to those who pay attention to his property, especially Liverpool fans. Knowing how much money the proprietress has, there are constant guesses.


    With An Feng''s style, if he invests more than a billion yuan and doesn''t even make the Forbes list, it seems too fake. In order to avoid unreasonable speculation in the future, he announced his property, so that in the future, someone will say that he 100 billion, tomorrow it will be 3 billion, the speed at which assets are shrinking makes people want to cry.


    Strictly speaking, tycoons like Bazel also have data, usually billions, very low-key.


    After ordering food, An Feng raised his wine glass in greeting: "To become a tycoon!"


    "Cheers!" They clinked glasses together.


    I lived in New York for a few days, and learned how high-end people hold a laptop to look at the stock market chart. GP Energy is rising slightly, and the momentum is very good. If the factories in China and South America are fully put into operation, both the turnover and the stock price will continue to rise. It is also very profitable to buy early.


    GP Energy has obtained more than 10 billion funds, plus the original overseas cash, it can order more precision machine tools and 3D printers from Anshi Industrial, and then expand the scale of the factory, set up branches around the world, and acquire industry competitors , to stabilize one''s own position, etc., now is the real step forward.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 339： real racing

    Chapter 339 Real Racing


    Returning to California, An Feng will have to prepare for the competition.


    Maserati''s Professional Challenge has been officially confirmed to host. Among the five races, the Amoeba Circuit is the first stop. The circuit is now stepping up publicity. In addition to hosting the MC Challenge this year, there will also be the IndyCar Race, as well as the The Moto GP that won the right to host.


    As for the F1 race being temporarily hopeless, it is not because the track is bad, but because the contract between FIA and Austin has not expired, and F1 still needs to be held at the Austin track according to the contract. The race track is discussing the race arrangement after the contract expires, coupled with the enthusiasm of the governments of the two places, it is very hopeful to get a five-year contract.


    After a few races, the circuit should be able to make up for a lot of losses.


    An Feng only asks for less expenditure or no expenditure, and he is very indifferent to profit��when you have the most profitable company in the world, you will not value entertainment projects. The race track is currently preparing for the race, and An Feng is also involved in the role of the racer, after all, the race will start in early May.


    ��


    Considering the convenience, the GP team entered the Amoeba Circuit. The two cars have been refitted, and An Feng''s participation is not too late. Although there are exercises in the front, they are not racing cars. The purpose is to let the drivers familiarize themselves with the differences between electric vehicles and cars, and change their original habits.


    Led by Howard, An Feng saw the No. 2 car prepared for him.


    The car body is still very clean, but after the official race, it will definitely be covered with sponsor logos. Currently, GP, Sin Energy, and a tire company have been identified. The exterior of the racing car is being designed and will be available soon, and sooner or later this white car will be colorful.


    Howard introduced with a sense of accomplishment: "The prototype is taken from the GT electric model just released by Maserati, but you also know that the racing car is just an F1 with the appearance of a prototype car. Except for the appearance, everything else has been replaced, and the body has been greatly improved. Reduce wind resistance, modify the aerodynamically optimized floor, use carbon fiber to reduce weight, and add a carbon fiber spoiler at the rear to increase downforce."


    An Feng observes this racing car, the body has compromised aerodynamics, the chassis is so low that even ordinary buffer belts cannot pass through, there is a huge carbon fiber spoiler (tail wing) at the rear, and the rear spoiler below the rear Also redesigned to look like a manic beast.


    Open the door, it feels very light and thin, the window is fixed, there is only a small square opening, it feels very soft, An Feng asked: "Plastic?"


    Howard said professionally: "The windows are made of polycarbonate, which is lighter and thinner, and will not shatter and hurt the driver."


    "It''s really good!" An Feng looked into the car, and removed everything that was redundant. The car was heavily protected by a sturdy roll cage, and it was awkward to sit in. Except for an LCD screen and a detachable steering wheel, the air conditioner and audio Classes are removed to serve lightweight services in an all-round way.


    Howard said outside: "We have modified the ECU for racing specifications to obtain the ultimate power and power of the motor, but the car still needs to adjust the high-performance suspension system, and it cannot be driven out yet. The technician will take about ten minutes. "


    An Feng got out again, looked at the racing car, and asked with satisfaction: "How much did the modification of this car cost?"


    "Excluding the cost of the vehicle, this car cost more than 600,000 US dollars." Howard said, "We have prepared 15 motors, tires and various parts for the competition. A game is estimated to cost about five million."


    An Feng said: "Racing really burns money."


    Howard is not surprised: "Of course, just for technology research and development, money has to be spent like running water."


    "I''ll go and see the convoy first." An Feng said.


    Introduced by the team manager Duke, An Feng got to know the main driver of the GP team: John Cooper. An Italian driver with a strong background, stayed in the DTM touring car race, but because the Maxima did not meet Bole, he was always a substitute, and was later recommended by Maserati to the GP team.


    An Feng shook hands with him: "I hope you can bring excellent results to the GP team!"


    "I will." Cooper said, English is OK.


    Cooper is not very old, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, but Westerners look old. Thirty-year-old An Feng looks similar to him. Cooper also knows that An Feng is the sponsor and big boss of the team, so he is very polite , and did not dislike his partner disappearing for several weeks in a row.


    Cooper still admires An Feng a little bit. As a rich man, he has enthusiasm and courage to participate in professional competitions. Later, An Feng got on the No. 2 car and ran for a while. His performance was beyond expectations, and Cooper began to put away his pride. The masters are among the people.


    ��


    After the racing was debugged, An Feng put on his racing suit and helmet, and got into the car with Howard, who was holding a tablet.


    There is not much space in the racing car, but the test car has reserved several data ports, allowing technicians to connect to the computer to check the condition of the vehicle faster.


    Get in the car, buckle up the six-point seat belt, and start listening to Howard''s explanation.


    "We changed to a brand new steering system." Howard introduced.


    "It can be seen." An Feng observed. In front of him was a racing steering wheel made of carbon fiber. The steering shaft stretched so long that it almost reached his chest. He could touch the steering wheel with a slight lift of his hand. This was to avoid being a high-speed racing car. When it is too large, the driver''s arm bears too much external force.


    "You need to memorize the buttons above..." Howard started from the buttons on the steering wheel.


    The racing car concentrates all the kinetic energy keys on the steering wheel, and the left and right hands have specific controls. There is a differential dial above the left hand to adjust the balance of entering and exiting the corner; the upper right hand is for KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System). Gear position control, release the energy stored in KERS through the green button in the middle of the left hand, it can make the car gain sudden acceleration, which is usually used in overtaking.


    In the middle of the right hand is the motor switching button, which feels a bit like the mode gear of a car, and can switch from "single motor to dual motors"-it is very helpful for the use of energy and horsepower when entering and exiting corners. It is obviously easier to control and save power when using a single-motor and rear-drive mode in low-speed corners.


    Others include the communication button with the team, the drinking water button (to prevent excessive dehydration), the speed limit button of the maintenance station, the motor power input adjustment... the keys on the steering wheel are dazzling. Under Howard''s guidance, An Feng spent some time learning how to hold the steering wheel correctly.


    This is pretty much from scratch.


    After learning, An Feng started the racing car and was ready to go out. Howard reminded: "The steering wheel of racing cars is different from that used for civilian use. The degree of rotation of the steering wheel depends on the degree of rotation of the tires."


    "I know." An Feng said, turned the steering wheel slightly, and left the Pit room.


    An Feng can still get used to it. Before that, he had driven Pagani Zonda-R and Lamborghini racing cars. After driving it on the track smoothly, Howard continued to introduce the performance data of the car, the content of debugging and so on.


    The two electric motors have a total output of 750 horsepower and a torque of 1100 Nm. In terms of acceleration, 0-100 acceleration is 2.6 seconds, 100-200 acceleration is 2.4 seconds, and 200-300 acceleration is 9 seconds. Obviously, the front and middle sections of the electric racing car are similar to F1. When F1 is dry, the 100-200 acceleration generally only takes 1.5 seconds.


    This is the comprehensive advantage of the motor. The racing car obtains 90% energy utilization rate by squeezing the life of the electric motor. The maximum speed is stable at 25,000 rpm, far exceeding the speed of the current F1 car. The acceleration in the middle and rear sections is strong enough. After several laps of Anfeng''s test drive, it was very stable.


    Howard said: "You have a good grasp of the straight line and entering the corner, but you just feel that you are not used to the corner."


    An Feng said: "Maybe the torque is too much?"


    Howard said: "This aspect needs to be adjusted according to the driver''s habits, and continue to run a few laps at full strength."


    After An Feng ran for a few laps, the G value reading of the sensor connected to Howard''s hand could reach 2.8 in an instant, and the physical requirements were also very high. An Feng had never driven a car with such a strong G value before. When accelerating or decelerating suddenly, he felt He was short of breath, and he had to do some targeted training.


    Howard said: "The organizer''s management of the car is too loose, its performance is vaguely close to the formula, and it is also a test of technology."


    "It''s a bit." An Feng said, after ten laps, he was covered in sweat soon.


    "Adaptation training needs to be strengthened." Howard said, "We will replace your car with a lightweight differential. If you like cornering at high speeds, we will increase your cornering grip, otherwise the body will float and become unstable. Other aspects are good. , work hard for half a month, maybe you can win the top five."


    An Feng nodded, he would not refuse the professional driver''s suggestion.


    Howard said: "After the debugging is over, we will run it again."


    ��


    An Feng ran five more laps behind, and he had a doubt on the way: "Do you think the excessively quiet sound of the electric racing car can attract the audience?"


    Howard is the king of data: "The sound of F1 is very dense, with a decibel of 130. I have tested electric racing cars, and the maximum is only 80 decibels."


    "It''s not enough." An Feng shook his head, "I''ve seen FE (Electric Formula) before, and there''s only the sharp...aircraft engine sound, which is very pleasant, but it''s not enough. We can''t consider installing a muffler for the engine like a sports car. Shall we put a loudspeaker in the motor?"


    Howard thought about it seriously, and after about ten seconds, he looked at An Feng: "This is a good idea. The sound of the motor is similar to the ''aircraft engine'' you mentioned. We can use some technical means to amplify it accordingly. During the game, we can amplify it. On, off when not in competition."


    Speaking of this, Howard couldn��t stop: ��If the sound can be increased by 10 to 20 decibels, the 100 decibels of the sound of the plane is enough to have a futuristic feel, and it is estimated that it can change the dull status quo of electric car racing...Bruce, your idea is really it is good!"


    Later, Howard went to Maserati''s technical side.


    An Feng''s idea sounds weird, but it is not unrealistic. What is the main focus of racing? Except for the wonderful overtaking, most people came for the sound, just like the F1 racing car at more than 10,000 revolutions, the excitation of the shifting air wave and the long and narrow roar of the engine are addictive.


    Electric motors are naturally not as capable as gasoline engines, but they are not as quiet as rumored, especially for frenzied racing cars, it is even more impossible to be quiet. You have played with four-wheel drive toy cars when you were young. It is the simplest electric racing car. Can you say that there is no sound when it is running?


    As long as it is amplified by technical means, the sound similar to an airplane taking off may become a symbol of electric racing cars.

 Chapter 340： A small gamble and joy [Third watch]

    Chapter 340 Small gambling and joy


    (The agreed third watch)


    ��


    There is a technical team for modification, and An Feng continues to conduct professional racing training.


    Before that, he also had contact with racing cars, but it was not as comprehensive as the current system. In terms of braking, racing cars pay more attention to braking skills, especially electric cars without gearboxes, which don��t need to care about gear shifting and speed. How to grasp the timing of the brakes becomes the key to victory.


    An Feng is also aware of the importance of proper braking. Only those who can step on the brakes are racing cars. In motorsports��even without ABS, too much brake force will cause the tires to lock up, and too little brake force will not achieve the effect. So racing and road driving are two worlds.


    Road driving is protected by various electronic systems, and the racing car has removed these burdens. Even if you step on the accelerator too aggressively, it will shake its head and sway out of your control. Now Anfeng has learned from this aspect, left foot braking, heavy braking, professional skidding, jumping side skidding... There are many ways of racing, some are useful, some are not necessarily effective, the strongest is a sober and fast brain.


    This is the reason why An Feng was able to create miracles repeatedly.


    His brain is too easy to use, the biological brain is stagnant, but the machine brain can run at high speed all the time, and give him the best judgment. This is equivalent to crashing the primitive racing car with all the advanced "electronic assistance" in motorsports, just like It''s as easy to drive as a supercar on the road.


    His learning speed is very fast, and even Cooper, the main force of the GP team, admires him after one pass.


    Given time, it will become a great weapon!


    But this person likes fishing for three days and drying nets for two days. He is still practicing this morning. You won��t find anyone in the afternoon. It is said that he will bet at the racetrack tomorrow morning. He is so lucky that he can��t stop now. In the afternoon, I finally showed up after so many calls, but I spent a few hours cleaning the car in the museum...


    If the drivers of other teams dare to play like this, they will be fired in minutes.


    But An Feng is definitely an exception. He is the boss of both the team and the car factory. Who dares to fire the boss?


    In the end, let them be free. Anyway, the team still has a trump card. John Cooper��s goal is to win the championship and promote it for GP and Maserati. There may be higher-level electric events in the future. So while Anfeng entertained around the small track in his Ferrari F40, Cooper practiced.


    When An Feng was riding a horse, Cooper was practicing; when An Feng was in the swimming pool, Cooper was practicing; when An Feng was taking a nap with his wife in his arms, he was still practicing. But the final result is... Cooper was able to run a single lap record of 1 minute and 28 seconds, and the lazy An Feng was also able to run a record of 1 minute and 30 seconds.


    Even Duke regretted: "Such a racing genius is a super rich man who has everything. God likes to joke."


    Howard is very envious: "If I can also have this kind of life, I will give nothing in exchange."


    Duke shook his head: "You didn''t pursue it!"


    "You are too rich!" Howard smiled.


    After running 20 laps in one breath today, An Feng stopped and got out, threw the steering wheel to the technician, and wiped his sweat: "I just screwed it out!"


    "Really?" Howard asked in surprise, "Is it the eleventh bend?"


    "That''s right, I was scared to death!" An Feng said, "The steering wheel fell off just as I was exiting the corner. I hurried to grab the steering shaft and put it back on."


    "You''re not holding the steering wheel the right way." Howard was sure.


    An Feng quibbled: "Are you sure the design of the steering wheel is okay?"


    This question stopped Howard. He looked at the steering wheel and asked uncertainly: "Maybe a little bit, do you need to modify it?"


    "Improve it, I''ll find something to do." An Feng said, took off the thick one-piece racing suit, changed into shorts, a T-shirt and slippers, and first went to get a bottle of Bida, a mid-end product in plastic , originally the mid-end is glassy, ??but considering that this is a track, there can be no debris.


    He poured himself a few sips to replenish his strength, and walked slowly to the maintenance area next to him. His retro red F40 was parked quietly. The sports car abuses people on the track. According to Anfeng''s original intention, the racing track is open and implements a membership system. Members can use two small tracks and a straight track, and can use the F1 track in their spare time.


    An Feng often goes there to show off his skills and bully amateurs.


    To be fair, no matter whether the opponent is a Porsche 918 or a McLaren P1, he only uses the F40, and he can always struggle for a while and make new friends. Everyone knows that the guy who drives the F40 is a driver. He has a lot of insights into racing and likes to chat a few words.


    Maybe he has become famous for playing, but someone said today that he has the Porsche 959 that Anfeng wanted, the red model, 1987, the F40 rival, and the maintenance is not bad. An Feng became interested as soon as he heard it, but the owner of the car was not short of money, and he didn''t want to sell the 959 directly, but wanted to exchange F40 with An Feng.


    Others heard that it was a good deal, but An Feng thought it was meaningless. Although there were a lot of F40s, there were a lot of crashes and scraps over the years, which are rare now. Besides, it is the flagship of Ferrari, and An Feng relied on it. Get an invitation from Ferrari F12XX, what a lucky artifact!


    He said decisively: "No, it''s my favorite car. Maybe I can pay a higher price?"


    The other party shook his head: "I''m not short of money, but I like your F40."


    "Then there is no other way." An Feng shrugged.


    "I have an idea." The other party had an idea, "I''ll find a driver to compete with your F40 on the track for ten laps with the 959, and the winner will take away the opponent''s car. How about it? Mr. An, you are a professional driver. , I have seen your performance on the track, and your technique is very good."


    An Feng laughed, so he was playing tricks on me.


    But he agreed, and he drove the classic car almost every time on the second amoeba track, and the results were amazing when he ran alone, and he made corresponding adjustments during the race, in order to train his skills��this caused An illusion of appearing weaker than it really is.


    The opponent invited a professional driver to challenge with 959. Wanting to take away his F40, it was a good plan. An Feng looked at the opponent with a smile, and accepted the challenge happily��even if he couldn''t, he would only lose one F40. The important thing is that he has a high degree of confidence in winning the race.


    The game is played in the afternoon.


    The track with a total length of 3.25 kilometers has a total of 8 corners. It is a high-speed track, but entering low-speed corners on the high-speed track is a test of technology. The opponent''s car, the Porsche 959, has an acceleration of 3.7 per 100 kilometers and a top speed of 317, which is similar to the current Porsche 911. . Porsche has been busy for three decades.


    The acceleration from 100 kilometers to Ferrari F40 is a bit slower, but the top speed is higher. The two sides were competing models back then, just like the current three beasts. They were on par, and then they were taken away by the McLaren F1 that turned out to be out of nowhere... An Feng sat in Inside the car, they stared at the driver the other party had found.


    According to Duke, he has seen this person before, but he is not a top driver. With An Feng''s consistent performance, he has the possibility of winning... An Feng smiled. He used to spend most of his time leisurely. It''s called "competition", the name is different, how can the gameplay be the same?


    A sports car with manual transmission is still in its infancy, the green light is on, and the two cars start at the same time. Immersed in the low noise of electric cars these days, it is the most enjoyable to feel this kind of gear shifting and engine roaring, whether it is sound or hearing, Or feel the **** suspension of the F40 in the ass... Maybe the electric car will be boring in the future, and the audience will doze off... While thinking about it, the opponent leads into the corner.


    An Feng was not in a hurry, and played slowly behind. Anyway, ten laps would take at least ten minutes. He was familiar with every detail of the track that could be run with his eyes closed. What he had to do now was to keep up with his opponent''s buttocks. Familiar with his number of roads, the way of cornering and braking points.


    There are also dozens of people watching the game, some professional and some amateurs.


    Professionals like Cooper, Howard and Duke, they discuss who will win in the end.


    Cooper did not hesitate: "I bet that Ann will win. His skills are average, but he has a strong sense of racing. Although the opponent is also a professional, he has a bad sense of car. You can see that after three consecutive laps, he can''t get rid of Ann. , If you continue, your confidence and shortcomings will be exposed."


    Duke nodded: "This guy always works miracles, and I believe him too."


    Howard smiled: "It seems that our ideas are the same, he can make the impossible possible every time."


    For three consecutive laps, An Feng followed closely behind his opponent and did not overtake, just to make him unable to escape and create psychological pressure... The latter is probably An Feng''s idea. When a high-speed corner approached, he decisively adopted a very domineering strategy of cutting the inside line, scrambling to reach the apex first, braking with his left foot to keep the engine at a high speed, and at the same time using a classic rallying technique��professional skidding. That is to make the rear wheel of the car drive into the land outside the track, so that it loses its original grip in an instant, so as to obtain a larger angle to exit the corner.


    An Feng hummed the Divine Comedy of Drifting, glanced at his opponent in the rearview mirror, and stepped on the accelerator.


    From the outside audience''s point of view, this guy An Feng regards the four-wheel drive as a rear drive, and it also has the feeling of a track rally. The hybrid car seems to be smooth, has great confidence in himself, and is still teasing his opponent. Occupy the overtaking point and not overtake.


    An Feng in the car seemed to have seen the ugly face of the guy who bet with him... Finally, he slapped the guy on the face again, and with the most exquisite performance, he locked the lap speed at 59 seconds. With the birth of the record, the audience We are already applauding, the legendary sword of the 1980s is not old.


    After ten laps, An Feng took the lead and crossed the line steadily.


    Then he spun coquettishly on the track, burning tires on the spot, causing white smoke to billow.


    Turned around again, drove Xiaohong to the other party, got out of the car and whistled to look at the red Porsche 959, and smiled: "Should we follow the agreement?"


    "Here you are." The middle-aged man was also generous, after all, he was the one who used the trick first, and finally caught himself, so he couldn''t blame others, he was willing to bet and admit defeat.


    An Feng took the key and said: "Welcome to continue to play next time!"


    The middle-aged man left with a heartache on his face. He probably either called a taxi or walked. There are no taxis in this place, and the bus runs every two hours. It��s not very pleasant... After a few seconds of emotion, An Feng came with a smile In front of the Porsche 959, I looked at it from the inside to the outside, sat in the car and looked at the odometer, and only ran more than 10,000 miles. The maintenance is very good, and there will be no major problems if you dare to take it on the track.


    "Small gambling makes me happy." An Feng started the sports car, listening to the sound of the engine, his face was intoxicated, it really was a magic weapon back then.


    Howard, who was watching the game outside, said to them: "See? His performance changes with the opponent. If the opponent is strong, he is correspondingly strong. We are examples. Judging from the current situation, only Cooper can Suppress him firmly, but it''s hard to say in the future."


    Duke was deeply touched and looked at Cooper: "It seems that the strength of the team will be stronger than expected."


    "It''s better like this." Howard said, "I heard that there are top drivers coming to participate this time. Chevrolet has transferred people from professional events. If other participating teams play like this, the level of events will be very high. We have to Do more preparations for high-level competitions."

 Chapter 341： transform island

    Chapter 341 Transforming the island


    An Feng spent some time debugging this classic Porsche, estimated to have earned at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, happily drove it to the museum, and asked the staff to polish it so that it looks like new. After re-registration, the classic sports car family has added another member.


    This persistent collector is easy to find. Recently, a collector wanted to pass up an extremely rare race car: the Ford GT40. The most classic and domineering model in the 1960s, it beat Ferrari in a flash and won four Le Mans 24 Hours champions from 1966 to 1969.


    An Feng arranged a meeting. This time, the seller took the initiative to come to the door. He was an old man with a white beard, but he still had to pay attention to selling his collection. Those who didn��t know about cars would not be sold, investors would not be sold, and those who didn��t like racing cars would not be sold... The stubborn old man couldn''t find a suitable candidate after choosing and choosing.


    After visiting An Feng''s museum and experiencing the co-pilot of a Ferrari F40 again, An Feng took him on the track for a while, but the old white man didn''t have a heart attack. He was sober that he could offer a price satisfactory to both parties. The last time a Ford GT40 changed hands was six or seven years ago.


    At that time, it was sold at a price of 11 million US dollars. With the love of Ford in American blood, GT40 was regarded as the ultimate collection. The car will only be worth more as the years go by.


    Now that the old man is willing to sell it to An Feng, who also knows cars and can even be a professional driver, at a price of 11 million US dollars, it feels like giving a hero a sword. The other party was straightforward, and An Feng didn''t even make a counter-offer, so he simply settled the deal at a one-off price and won the classic blue-painted racing car.


    The Ford GT40 is different from other classic cars. Its appearance is acceptable now. This is probably due to the Ford GT model launched by Ford in 2004, which is a reprinted version of the GT40, in order to pay tribute to the classics of the 1960s. , the similarity is very high.


    So the GT40 racing car can also be very trendy. After An Feng got it, he carefully tried it on the track. This car is very light, less than 1,000 kilograms. It uses a large-displacement V8 engine, and it can easily reach the peak speed on the track. More than 200, whether it is cornering or accelerating straight, it is still surging.


    "This guy is so cool!" Several friends in the team were envious after seeing it. The meaning of this car to Americans is very unusual.


    An Feng generously displayed the beautiful car, and even said that he could touch it.


    Maserati''s Bruno said: "Mr. An, if you like to collect, you must not miss the Ferrari auction in Turin next week."


    "Oh? What kind of car models are there?" An Feng asked.


    Bruno said: "A black Ferrari FXX, a short wheeled version of the 1962 Ferrari 250GT-SWB, hosted by RM Auctions."


    An Feng said: "Thank you for reminding me, I won''t miss it."


    Facts have proved that there are also people who are thinking about him. When he was thinking about the travel time that night, Brian from RM called and invited him to participate in the Turin auction, and An Feng naturally agreed. After discussing with Joanna again, after deciding to participate in the auction, stop by to see the private island and their yacht.


    They didn��t know much about it before, but after they bought it, they found out that the island topped the Forbes list. It covers an area of ??4.5 square kilometers, about 1,111 acres. Both have strong advantages in terms of area.


    But relatively, An Feng''s transformation is a bit stingy.


    After learning the truth, An Feng felt that he really had to do some face-saving projects. Anyway, the island is so big, so that when Forbes summarizes the world''s top ten private islands every year, he will add a line here: As the most expensive private island, in terms of maintenance work It seems petty.


    An Feng has an idea: "We can renovate the islands in a large area, just like those expensive and beautiful artificial islands in Florida, to ensure privacy to the greatest extent, and absolutely no one will disturb them, and then build houses around the coast and transform them into golf courses in the middle. , a park or something?"


    Joanna said: "You want to invest in tourism business?"


    An Feng said: "Good idea, we can''t go there a few times a year, the islands are all free."


    Joanna also thinks it is good. To be honest, it is very lonely for several people to live on such a big island. It would be too wasteful to leave it idle after leaving. Transforming it into a high-end resort and providing it to high-end customers will increase popularity and recover costs. This principle is similar to super cruise ships, there are people who are lively.


    Traveling to Sardinia, some people pursue privacy, and islands with strong geographical advantages can provide these environments.


    The two of them have a very unified point of view: set aside a private area.


    Just like the penthouse suite of the Queen, it is one thing to be lively, but another to have your own private space. When the two are combined, it will naturally become a perfect compromise. There is complete private space during leisure, and you can participate in activities on the island when you are bored.


    The private island is very large, more than a thousand acres. To be honest, the land of a mansion is very limited, like their mansion with a private beach in Miami, isn��t it huge? The total area is only 0.5 acres. Therefore, the land on the island is abundant, and there are excellent beaches on the south and east sides. They only need to designate a certain area as private, and it is appropriate to develop other areas into leisure resorts.


    ��


    Having an idea, An Feng took his assistant, translator and bodyguards and headed to Italy.


    First of all, he will participate in the auction in Turin. His goal this time is simple: FXX and 250GT.


    FXX is a car modeled on Ferrari ENZO, that is, it can only be played cool on the track. Like the 599XX, it is also the same as the F12XX that Anfeng was invited to order. It is very commemorative. The difficulty of purchasing is much higher than that of the Ferrari flagship, and the current Anfeng can only be recycled.


    Ferrari''s 250 series is known as the collection must increase, as long as it is well maintained, it will increase every year-as for why the auction? It must be that the slow increase cannot meet the needs of profitability. In fact, many people who buy classic sports cars are commercial activities, and there are very few pure fun like Anfeng.


    An Feng first saw the black steed at the auction. There are few other colors of Ferrari that can beat red, but the pure black of this FXX brings a different kind of wildness. An Feng saw it at first sight. Love it, it''s in great condition and the starting bid is $2 million.


    The bidders raised their placards one by one, and the RM management side stopped at Anfeng many times. Impressive, no one has ever been able to stop An Feng from collecting things he likes, and this time is the same, An Feng directly increased the price to 2.4 million US dollars, and it was done neatly.


    Everyone looked back at this Chinese, and they didn��t have a deep impression at first, but because of his ethnicity, and the previous few times, people of yellow race bought good things at high prices, commonly known as ��the Chinese are here��. Now seeing people of the yellow race, they feel bad, that guy from before is burning money again!


    Seeing everyone''s expressions, An Feng came up with a very funny idea.


    When everyone believes that all the items he participated in the auction will eventually fall into their hands, there may be some unhappy people who will raise the price for him, and then An Feng will quote the price on the racing engine he is not interested in, and then other people will quote , and then An Feng never made a sound again.


    Seeing that the guy who made the bid took the bid, he stared blankly at An Feng, who had never made a bid, with a look of eating flies. An Feng looked at him, shrugged helplessly, and even wore big sunglasses beside him, keeping a low profile. Joanna, who participated, also covered her mouth and smiled: "You have hurt others!"


    An Feng disregarded the relationship: "This has absolutely nothing to do with me."


    After that, no one dared to argue with him casually. He bought the 250GT-SWB in the subsequent auction at a price of 7.5 million US dollars. The SWB was also black, and it was a sports version launched by Ferrari and Pininfarina. The value of the collection is worth buying.


    ��


    Finished the collection, Brian helped him check in, and the next item was the yacht.


    The "Dame Joanna" has been completed, and An Feng''s entourage also enjoys the luxury of a flagship yacht under the patronage of the boss. Line 960 is the flagship, spacious and luxurious is the main theme. There are five rooms in the living area on the lower floor, a salon on the upper deck that can accommodate fifteen people, and a dining room that can accommodate eight people for dinner. Seven or eight people can enjoy the sun on the sun deck. Sunbathing, and a small freshwater swimming pool on the top floor.


    An Feng hired a yacht driver, a chef, and two helpers. A dozen people boarded this brand new luxury yacht and set off from Genoa to Sardinia, 400 kilometers away. Anfeng''s private island is easy to find. It is the largest and quietest in the tourist area a few kilometers north of Sardinia.


    On the yacht, the specially invited designer began to communicate with An Feng with the help of an interpreter.


    There is an aerial photo of the island on the table. An Feng explained his own idea. There must be a luxurious private area and a leisure resort. The designer easily understood his idea: clean and lively. The two styles can be swapped at any time for added fun.


    An Feng nodded: "That''s what I mean."


    The translator said: "The designer said that this is a very good island. Unlike other islands that are close to scenic spots or have the advantages of short distances, it is itself a scenic spot. If the Italian government is not heavily in debt, such a large and well-located place would not be Listed for sale."


    An Feng smiled: "It really makes me happy to hear this."


    There is no need for the designer to waste words to praise bad islands, he is obliged to explain the good and the bad, but according to the current situation, he is very satisfied, and then expand the private area by three to five times according to An Feng''s request, except for the sea view Outside the mansion, there are beaches, lawn gardens and courts.


    The resort project is complicated, a luxury resort hotel must have a large swimming pool, coconut trees and palm trees, soft sandy beaches, crystal clear sea water, and perfect hotel services on the beach... This plan is very Exciting.


    An Feng also has his own ideas, such as power generation and fresh water issues. The most important thing at present is power generation. Private use does not require high power, but resorts are different. His idea is very fashionable - use wind power to generate electricity, and use superconductors as the core of the generator.


    In the superconducting state, superconductors have the characteristics of strong magnetic field and zero resistance. The efficiency of power generation is at least three times higher than that of ordinary generators. Installing two or three wind turbines on the top of the mountain is equivalent to eight or nine ordinary wind turbines, which is enough to supply The island''s electricity needs around the clock.


    Then there is the problem of fresh water. There is groundwater on the island, which is no problem as drinking water, but the reserves are not enough for other purposes. An Feng wants to give priority to installing the seawater desalination device of Anshi Industry here. Only medium-sized devices are needed. Enough for usual watering and swimming.


    After listening to An Feng''s idea, the designer said: "As long as I have the technology, I can realize it on the island."

 Chapter 342： Start of the race

    Chapter 342 The first race starts


    A few decisions by An Feng changed the future of the island.


    If the idea of ??"Holiday Xanadu" is to be realized, it will definitely have a new look, and then open to the public, it will definitely become a top tourist destination, after all, it is sandwiched between French Corsica and Sardinia, surrounded by They are all scenic spots with unique geographical location.


    The only thing is money. A comprehensive renovation will cost at least 30 million or more, and 50 million more. Others would probably consider the cost carefully, but what happened was An Feng, he always only wanted to like himself, and didn''t consider the cost. It was decided to carry out the case.


    After staying on the yacht and the island for two days, all the plans were implemented.


    An Feng paid the first payment and returned to California after confirming that everything was perfect. It was late April and the car race was coming up. It was time for him, an unreliable racer, to show his face and run a few laps. But before that, one thing had to be done: a racing license.


    Although it is not an FIA-certified event, it is only held in the United States, but there are also laws and regulations. For such a transcontinental event, drivers must be professional, that is, they must obtain a racing license. This aspect is also easy to handle, Maserati has teaching and assessment qualifications.


    An Feng took a few days of classes honestly, learning theories, mainly the basic knowledge of racing, racing driver equipment, key points of vehicle modification, etc. After five minutes of lectures, he spent three hours learning racing semaphore. This is very important, even the boss must treat it strictly.


    After the theoretical assessment is completed, it is the actual vehicle assessment. An Feng is familiar with the road and passes the test in one day. Maserati handled the racing driver''s license for him. So far, he can officially participate in the "MC Challenge" as a driver of the GP team, otherwise, no matter how good his skills are, it will be useless.


    ��


    The rest is to practice frequently.


    The racing car is not only about being able to drive, it is also necessary to establish a communication mechanism with the team engineers, to give feedback on one''s own feelings and ideas in a timely manner, and to accept the engineers'' strategies at the same time. In addition, from the pit stop of the car, changing the tire, changing the battery, to other possible maintenance, you have to hurry up.


    The team is a whole, and the driver is a key part, but it cannot be separated from the whole.


    Recently, An Feng''s training has also become more frequent. He doesn''t want to fall behind too much, especially in the case of "home games". The eyes can go all the way, and if you don''t get a good ranking, you won''t be able to hang on your face.


    As for the rest...whatever.


    The competition arrangement has been released, and the top five points system will be adopted for the five races. The first stop is Amoeba Speedway, followed by Las Vegas, Austin, Indianapolis, and the final stop in Florida. The competition takes place across the United States from the west to the center of the United States, and then to the east coast.


    The interval between races is one week, held on weekends, open practice on Saturday, qualifying on Sunday morning, and race in the afternoon.


    An Feng has a question: "Qualify in the morning, race in the afternoon, can the consumption keep up?"


    Howard said: "It should be possible. Each driver will play no more than 15 minutes in the qualifying race. The afternoon race is only 45-50 minutes. The physical strength can fully keep up. After all, it is not F1. Of course, there are also some requirements for the physical fitness of the drivers. Think of it as a challenge factor."


    "How many teams are there?" An Feng asked.


    Howard said: "There are eight teams and 15 cars. Red Bull, Ford and Chevrolet are all participating. In addition, there are some private teams. Overall, the big teams have a big advantage. Chevrolet transfers drivers from WTCC, and others also have royal drivers. , the overall level is very high.��


    An Feng was speechless: "Maybe Red Bull also transfer the F1 driver."


    Howard smiled: "F1 drivers are used to the fast pace, not necessarily adapted to touring cars. This time they are all masters in touring car racing. You should try to get points."


    An Feng felt pessimistic. With points, he would be in the top five, but with so many professional drivers, his driving skills are not for bragging rights.


    Facts have proved that the level of the big teams is very high. Perhaps it is the professional electric car competition that attracts them. It is very fresh. In addition, the amount of rewards is not capped. There are only five races, so there is plenty of time to adjust other events... A combination of various factors , the top drivers are present.


    The level of this car race is improving, and the competition is fierce. An Feng can only hurry up and practice.


    ��


    After a long preparation, the time came to the second weekend in May. The team and drivers had arrived on Friday, and they used the whole day of Saturday to practice and familiarize themselves with the track. It was free and open on Saturday, and many spectators came to watch the race. An Feng also went for a few laps to maintain the feeling of the car.


    Then the car was sent for testing, and he went to the auditorium to experience the atmosphere of the scene.


    In the past, the feeling of electric car racing is very different from that of cars. Without the sound of gear shifting and engine roaring in the past, it is quiet. The only thing is the sound of motor rotation and current. Arouse the blood of the audience in sound.


    But after An Feng''s last proposal, Maserati made a small modification.


    Now the sound is coming. I used to watch electric car races without using earplugs, but now some spectators use them. The reason is that when the speed of the car increases to around 250, the noise will be amplified to about 100 decibels, and it is the sharp sound of an airplane taking off. , more harshly.


    Although it is not as loud as a gasoline engine, it is full of futuristic sense.


    The disadvantage of the sound made up for it a lot, and the skills and speed were not lost. The excellent acceleration performance is easy to stage overtaking, and this aspect may regain the advantage... After the practice session on Saturday, An Feng continued to live according to the requirements of the team. Diet and work and rest have to be controlled.


    On Sunday morning, after receiving blessings from relatives and friends, the helicopter departed.


    From this point of view, he is the most handsome driver. After arriving in the morning, start to prepare clothes. The racing driver''s clothing is all specified, from underwear to jacket, you have to put on a mask and neck protection system, and then wear a large but extremely lightweight helmet for all-round protection.


    The arrangement of qualifying in the morning is very tight. The organizers try to leave enough rest time for the afternoon competition, so the qualifying starts early. An Feng chose an earlier time slot, and drove the car on the field very low-key, recalling the distribution of the entire track in his mind.


    An Feng''s car feels very good, coupled with the recent intensive training, after 15 minutes, he locked the fastest lap time at 1 minute and 28 seconds, ranking among the best, and some outstanding performers can reach 1 minute and 26 seconds, An Feng I feel that running 1:28 is already the limit of my strength, but there are too many masters.


    After qualifying, the racers rest in the background.


    An Feng needs to weigh himself, report the performance of the car to the engineer, and then have a delicious lunch at the racing track. Joanna specially asked the chef to make it at home and delivered it by helicopter. Cooper, another driver of the team, was also honored to enjoy the meal benefits brought by the proprietress.


    Joanna gave encouragement as a wife, kisses and wishes.


    An Feng said: "Look at my good grades!"


    Joanna said: "You will, I believe in you!"


    Although she said so, she still prayed in her heart, hoping that he could finish the race safely. After all, car racing is a dangerous racing sport. At a speed of two to three hundred per hour, even the best protection will have accidents... She didn''t show her worry, and she couldn''t affect his state.


    At one o''clock in the afternoon, An Feng attended the tactical meeting. Engineers will develop a strategy based on weather conditions, qualifying conditions, and tire wear. The weather is fine in the afternoon, all cars will use slick tires, and the performance of the cars will be brought into full play. The qualifying is also good, with An Feng in fourth and Cooper in second. The unfamiliar name of the GP team has achieved good results at the beginning and attracted a lot of attention.


    Then there was the team''s press conference, but it had nothing to do with An Feng.


    At two o''clock is the car parade around the field, mainly to let the team''s cars make their debut, then the pit lane will be officially opened, the team will move in, the team staff will push the fully charged cars to the grid on the track, and at the same time the beautiful racing baby will start Come on stage, hold a sign next to the car.


    Although the scale of the event is not large, as a pure electric car race, it is very fresh and attracts much attention. There are a lot of spectators who came to try the early adopters in the first race. The main auditorium is full, and there are also people in the open-air area or the corner area next to it.


    Some of them are fans attracted by the drivers, such as Chevrolet, Red Bull and other teams who cultivated the stars of tomorrow.


    An Feng also has a lot of relatives and friends. They reserved the main auditorium area, which has a good view. There are several huge LCD screens on the opposite side, which can display the racing scene in real time. The seats dedicated to the news media are also full. The publicity of the electric car race was appropriate and attracted the attention of all walks of life.


    From this point of view, Maserati has succeeded in a small part.


    An Feng and Cooper have put on their racing suits and accepted the engineer''s final instructions.


    The racers came on stage one after another. An Feng came to the No. 2 car, picked up his mobile phone and stood in front of it, and took a selfie with the racing baby and the racing car. Duke quickly asked for his mobile phone to be taken away. The cameras were all focused on An Feng, and the beautiful woman and the driver beside him smiled brightly, which was also displayed on the big screen.


    Although An Feng is wearing a mask, all the relatives and friends know him. He shrugged at the camera, and before getting in the car, the racing babe blew him a kiss.


    Wang Le smiled: "This guy is never serious!"


    Joanna''s lips curled up, and Roger gloated when he saw it: "Someone is going to sleep on the sofa tonight."


    An Feng put on his helmet and got into the car. The special racing seat was very hard and uncomfortable, and he had to buckle the six-point seat belt like a spider web. Then there are technicians to check the condition of the car, whether the automatic fire extinguisher of the co-pilot is working normally and so on. One minute countdown, everyone evacuated.


    An Feng calmed himself down and entered the state.


    The race requires 35 laps, and the race distance is nearly 200 kilometers. According to the power consumption of the car, the battery can run up to 150 kilometers, which means that there must be a pit stop to replace the battery and replace the tires, and finally run the entire distance. But before that, you need to follow the safety car for a lap to warm up the field.


    The warm-up lap will be the last chance for the team to test the car.


    An Feng communicated with the team via radio that the racing car was in good condition and returned to the starting point and was ready.


    When all the cars returned to the starting area and took their positions, 5 red lights came on one by one.


    An Feng breathed calmly, and only the game was left in his mind.


    According to the results of the qualifying race, the Chevrolet driver is in order. His strength is good, that is, he ran the fastest speed of 1:26.866, but the average lap time is not fast; the second is Cooper of the GP team , 1 minute 27 seconds 232, the average is around 1 minute 28 seconds, and everyone believes that he has the highest probability of winning.


    The third is the Ford driver, 1:27.735, the time gap with An Feng is very small; the fourth is the GP team''s An Feng, 1:28.037, but in terms of the average lap time, he is actually the second , only behind Cooper; the fifth is Red Bull Racing, 1 minute 28 seconds 264.


    The gap in qualifying can be said to be very small, with 1 minute and 30 seconds at the end. The level of professional competition is very high, and it is difficult to define who is strong and who is weak.


    When the five lights go out at the same time, the fifteen racing cars start off immediately!


    An Feng stepped on the switch, got hit on the back, and followed the car in front. In professional races where there is little difference in the performance of the cars, it is almost impossible to overtake in a straight line. According to the team''s strategy, first follow the third place''s butt, walk a few laps, and slowly look for opportunities to overtake at the corners.


    On the Amoeba Circuit, An Feng has a strong overall strength and a stable performance. During qualifying, the time of each lap can be controlled at about 1 minute and 28 seconds. The track race is optimistic about this kind of stability, coupled with certain overtaking skills, he has a high probability of winning the top three at home.


    The calm start also aroused the cheers of the audience. No matter how deserted it is, people will like it. Just like a football game, the players are not as loud as F1 cars. Isn��t there a lot of people shouting? Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of pairs of eyes, the cars lined up end to end in a straight line.


    The feeling of running a lap alone is different from that of an actual race. More than a dozen cars are crowded together, and the distance between the front and rear is only a few centimeters. , the racing car made a sound like an airplane taking off.


    The sound is very unique, close your eyes and feel the plane is approaching.


    An Feng held the steering wheel tightly. When the speed of the racing car exceeded 300, a curve appeared ahead. This is a high-speed curve, spacious and has a good view. The probability of overtaking is not high. All vehicles pass in an orderly manner. An Feng is still tight Follow the Ford driver in front and go on another straight road.


    Because An Feng''s racing car tuning focused on the middle and front section, the acceleration at the start was very fast. He even let go of the switch when starting the car. There is a tendency to bump into the car in front of you.


    Seeing the slightly cautious entry of Ford in the front, An Feng has a great grasp of the hairpin bend. As soon as his heart is crossed, the steering wheel cuts the inside line sharply. For better grip, switch the single-motor rear drive to produce a small drift.


    The feeling inside the car was like an earthquake, rattling rattling rattling, the damage to the tires and car body was great, but the effect was very good. He simply surpassed Ford and took the third place. Feng=Sao wags its tail in front, quickly switches the dual motors, and walks away!


    The spectators burst into cheers, and the game subverted the tradition. Less than 30 seconds after the start of the race, a driver staged such an awesome and exaggerated overtaking at the second corner, directly pressing the tires on the wave belt, and through a small drift The way to squeeze out the Ford driver, to achieve overtaking!


    This scene was recorded by the overhead helicopter and the field camera, and broadcasted on the big screen. The details are extremely clear. The driver''s performance is smooth and natural, with the overall situation in hand, and the confidence of not rushing, adding the first highlight to this competition , arouses enthusiasm.


    An Feng didn''t know that he was very eye-catching. At that time, he felt that he could be faster in this corner, while the Ford in front was procrastinating, so he simply took the risk of overtaking it. After successfully winning the third place, the series of corners performed perfectly. After exiting the corner, he did not follow behind Cooper, but changed lanes and paralleled.


    It seems that he still wants to overtake his teammate''s car!

 Chapter 343： Alternative enthusiasm 【Third watch】

    Chapter 343 Alternative Enthusiasm


    (the second time agreed)


    ��


    The wonderful performance of the No. 2 car captured everyone''s attention.


    Both the driver and the car are very fierce, and they are obviously using their excellent mid-to-front acceleration performance to win a good position. Even the brothers in the same class are not let go-seeing that he is about to run parallel with the second-placed Cooper, and finally at a high-speed corner Daoqian still slowed down.


    The audience was slightly disappointed, but the GP team leader breathed a sigh of relief.


    According to An Feng''s character of rushing and overtaking, the front corner must be controlled poorly, and the car behind who seized the opportunity will definitely find time to overtake. Car racing is different from running laps alone, and more skills need to be considered. An Feng did not act recklessly in the end.


    The corners in the first half of the lap are relatively dense, and An Feng can maintain his advantage very well. In the second half of the high-speed section, his car tuning pays more attention to the acceleration of 0-200, and some spare power is insufficient in the future, while others The car, which pays attention to the adjustment of the rear stage, has also begun to exert its strength.


    In the end, it was very difficult to maintain the third position.


    The first and second have been reversed, and the performance of the Chevrolet driver was unstable, perhaps because he did not switch from the small horsepower of WTCC to the current high horsepower rhythm of more than 700 horsepower, and was overtaken by Cooper in the second half. An Feng closely followed the Chevrolet racing car, also looking for opportunities, and Ford behind him was also eyeing.


    This competition is very intense. Due to the different tuning of the racing cars and the switching of the motor, overtaking will be very frequent. At the same time, the intense speed will also put a lot of pressure on the drivers. The acceleration can reach 3G.


    This means that the standard of the car is closer to F1, and it is a huge test for the car body structure and chassis. On the other hand, the Maserati GT model performed well, thanks to the original design, and the electric motor technology and carbon fiber lightweight are also a major highlight.


    The fierce car race continued, and An Feng, who had entered the state, found the familiar feeling. The experience of hundreds of drag racing on the track played a role. Through the analysis of his head, he reproduced the feeling of every corner and every straight road. And transform into your best form.


    Hard driving has made him invincible, and now the only test is overtaking skills.


    It��s useless for you to run fast, you won��t overtake, and if you can��t grasp the timing, you will also be suppressed all the way. It is unrealistic to ask the racetrack to help wave the blue flag (the blue flag means to give way to the car behind). An Feng needs to seize the opportunity just right, he can''t fail to overtake, and is overtaken by the car behind instead, the gain outweighs the loss.


    After 20 laps, the ranking kept changing. An Feng once won the second place by releasing his kinetic energy, stepping on Chevrolet, but was overtaken by Ford in the high-speed section, and then Chevrolet staged revenge, and he fell behind to fourth. Try hard to get back, after several changes, it is currently the third.


    The second place is Ford''s driver, and the first place is still the stable Cooper. The GP team is expected to win the championship.


    At the end of the twentieth lap, Anfeng racing car still had 5% of its electric energy left, and the tires were excessively worn, so it was necessary to enter the pit stop. The team was ready, he left the track, pressed the electronic speed limit button of the pit stop, and the speed of the car was forcibly reduced to the 80 kilometers per hour required for entering the pit stop.


    The car came to the pit stop of the GP team and stopped. The brake disc of the front wheel of the car was burned red due to frequent sudden braking.


    An Feng can also accumulate a little energy for KERS by doing this, and use it to overtake in the future.


    The maintenance team started from front to back, raised the racing car with a jack, and the nuts of the racing tires were unscrewed by electric screws, and the tire changing team followed up. At the same time, the front hood of the car was opened, and the team members skillfully used electric screws to loosen the battery block and install two new batteries.


    After the battery was installed, the slick tires were also installed, the nuts were screwed on, the maintenance team member holding a sign gave the order for everyone to evacuate, the last screw was screwed on, the sign went up, and An Feng, who had just taken a breath, stepped on the switch, The car races out and joins the race. The whole process takes 9 seconds.


    There are fifteen laps left in the race schedule, and the tires and batteries are sufficient. He can use his racing skills with confidence and keep the top three position. Pit pits were carried out one after another, and the ranking changed again. An Feng was sixth this time, but the car in front was actually tenth because he did not enter the pit pits.


    An Feng took some time to overtake, completed the twenty-first lap, and after three more laps, all the vehicles had completed the maintenance and replacement work, and the ranking would return to normal. The first place was Ford, the second was Cooper, and the third was An Feng, Red Bull followed closely behind him, and Chevrolet once became fifth.


    After so many laps in a row, every time he accelerates, decelerates or turns, he has to bear an acceleration of more than 2G. The average speed of the whole process is maintained at about 230 kilometers per hour, and he can reach a maximum of 350 kilometers per hour on high-speed sections. It is a huge challenge for both physical fitness and eyes. The spirit is tense all the time.


    A car with a higher G value has higher demands on the driver''s body. An Feng feels uncomfortable, but the discomfort will appear on every driver. The body feels oppressed, and they have to be pressed on the seat when accelerating. When decelerating, the head is about to hit the steering wheel, and the body is pulled from side to side when cornering... Repeat a dozen twists in one lap, and hundreds of times in ten laps. After the whole race, coupled with the hot racing suit, dehydration is very common.


    In the second half of the race schedule, the performance is more focused on the overall quality of the driver. At this time, staying awake and in good condition is of great help to the car. According to statistics, the average lap time in the first half will be slightly faster than in the second half, because everyone is tired and showing fatigue.


    Only the competition for the top five has become more intense.


    This is a competition of top professional drivers. An Feng dealt with it patiently. If he hadn''t been familiar with the track a hundred times, it would have been difficult for him to adapt to frequent overtaking and being overtaken. For a while, he was even about to leave the top five. , but refocused for the last ten laps.


    As a last resort, he can only rely on the machine brain.


    After so many years of strengthening, the machine brain is now very good, helping him complete complex calculations and judgments, using every line and advantage, and continuing to bring wonderful overtaking and chasing to the audience... Finally, in the last lap, he held took the third place, and once again staged the corner overtaking technology as accurate as a computer, successfully used KERS, and left Chevrolet behind.


    KERS accumulates energy through every braking. There are not many opportunities, so it must be used at the best time.


    An Feng made good use of the opportunity, and this advantage lasted until the waving black and white checkered flag!


    The first place is Cooper, several parking spaces ahead of Anfeng.


    Chevrolet crossed the line almost side by side with An Feng, but the slowed-down footage showed that An Feng''s racing car had about one more tire, which could be distinguished even with the naked eye, the second and second car! He was the most eye-catching driver throughout the race, competing for second, third and fourth worst riders.


    There was a sound of "aircraft engine" breaking through 300, and the cars rushed across the key line. The top ten in this race are all relatively strong in technology, and the top five are duels between top drivers. The most exciting thing is the competition between them. Different performance adjustments make the overtaking dazzling.


    The supporters in the auditorium stood up and cheered, electric car racing can be so exciting.


    Especially An Feng''s relatives and friends, they know that An Feng likes racing cars, and his museum alone can tell a thing or two, but they didn''t expect his skills to be so superb. Everyone thought it would be good to stay in the top ten, so he directly took A runner-up blinded everyone.


    Wang Le stared wide-eyed: "Damn! The top five are all top drivers, this guy is going against the sky!"


    Roger was also full of admiration: "It''s the first time I''ve seen a rich car fan do this."


    After An Feng finished the race, he had no time to celebrate. He first drove the car to the inspection area for weighing, and then got out of the car. The members of the GP team were waiting for them. Howard was already smiling and ran over to give the two drivers a high-five: "Do Well done! Nice first show!"


    An Feng took off his helmet and mask, his face covered in sweat.


    Teammates rushed to bring water up. The dehydration in a race was at least about two kilograms, and the excess was three to four kilograms. In addition to the hot environment in the car, the drivers were still wearing sealed fireproof racing suits. The dehydration was serious. The water vest can only solve the urgent need.


    Joyful Duke walked in: "Champions and runners-up! Now please follow us to the podium to receive the honor!"


    An Feng and Cooper were taken to the podium by the field staff, surrounded by audiences and TV reporters. For the first electric car competition, the combination of freshness and strangeness caused an unexpected excitement, almost All the way was captured by the camera.


    Joanna and An Feng''s relatives and friends have VIP privileges, and they also came to watch the scene.


    An Feng waved to the friends in the crowd, and before he could speak, he was sent to the podium. He was naturally smiling. As a car fan, his previous wish was to have a supercar, and what was even more important was to have a racing driver''s license to drive. In racing, the ultimate dream is to get a place in an official race.


    Now it has been achieved. Although he is not a champion, what he needs is a feeling. He is not a professional driver. If Cooper is so hardworking and talented, he can��t win the championship. The world would be too cruel...With messy thoughts, An Feng caught the trophy and held it up high.


    The top three started to cheer with trophies, and then served champagne, opened champagne and fought with everyone... The drivers who were in a mess went back to their respective maintenance areas, and reported the good and bad aspects of the race to the team engineers while the feeling was still there. Ready to improve next time or something.


    There was another press release afterwards, but An Feng was not involved, and Cooper was in the GP team.


    An Feng took a bottle of high-end drink brought by Joanna, took a few sips, recovered a lot, returned to the living area of ??the team, took a shower, changed into a suit of clothes and came out to celebrate with everyone. We''re going to have a lively party tonight!


    The journalists at the scene were already busy, interviewing the team, the drivers, and the audience.


    The interviews with the teams and drivers are similar to usual, while the interviews with the audience are mainly about the experience of watching the race.


    Electric car racing is still very new. Although FE (Formula Electric) races existed a few years ago, this is the first time I have seen a touring car race, and the performance is very strong. The audience watching the race was divided into two factions. One thought that the electric car race lost the sound of the gasoline engine and became boring.


    But I am more interested in the sound of the aircraft engine sound of the electric car speeding past.


    One of them said: "This sound is cool, it belongs to the sound of the future!"


    This sentence has been reproduced by many media, and has become the core point of view of the new batch of electric racing fans. Although the roar of up to 130 decibels is gone, under the wonderful transformation of Maserati, the sound of the electric motor has been raised to 100 decibels, expanding the The sound of an airplane engine.


    There are gains and losses. According to statistics after watching the game, 70% of the audience expressed their preference for this clean energy event.


    This has inadvertently formed an alternative enthusiasm.


    Belonging to the enthusiasm for more cutting-edge technology and the future, especially young people, this narrow and long sound is also good, at least not as bad as traditional electric cars, running past you without a sound, and you don��t feel it at all... In the end The race has drawn more attention.


    Amoeba and Maserati also succeeded.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 344： strategic error

    Chapter 344 Strategic Mistake


    Maserati''s "MC Challenge" California station ended perfectly.


    The positioning of the series of challenges was not high at first, but the effect was unexpectedly good. There were 65,000 spectators in the first race, and the average unit price of a day ticket was 100 US dollars. Just this time, Amoeba Racing There are 6.5 million US dollars in ticket sales, not including other derivative consumption.


    It started the name of Amoeba, and even made Maserati.


    On the second day after the race, there was a heated discussion on the Internet about the event, just like the large number of spectators who arrived unexpectedly at the first stop. The world paid special attention to this event. Both An Feng and Maserati underestimated the meaning of its "first time". Although there was FE before, there were also other electric car races.


    However, the MC Challenge is held with racing cars modified from "mass-produced cars". There are also high-end batteries used in racing cars. It is said that the total weight does not exceed 150 kg, which is obviously a secret of the GP company.


    The mass-produced car modified racing car can verify the huge potential of the GT electric version in retrospect. In the longer term, the Maserati GT electric version may be a hot seller. Everyone has seen wonderful performances through its modified racing car. Fame is growing.


    The result is naturally that both the United States and foreign countries gather their attention.


    All websites related to cars or car races have special column reports, and other news media have also mentioned that the attention of the race is far greater than the scale of the race. It can be said that people all over the world care about it. Straight up.


    According to news from Maserati, some media want to buy the exclusive rights to broadcast the event. Although the fee is not high, it is definitely a sign of recognition. Duke, the manager of the GP team, has also been on the phone these days because of the sponsorship and wants to add a few more logos to the racing uniform and the car.


    Originally, there were not many sponsorships for the competition. In addition to the front and side advertisements, the back of the car can also have advertisements, and the driver��s clothes can also be added... Anyway, the race is famous, and the GP team is also famous. Even winning the championship and runner-up, this strength It is indeed not to be underestimated.


    What''s even more surprising is that even An Feng''s Chinese scarves became popular because of his proud selfie. Everyone recognized him as the Asian who won the runner-up on the field. It is concerned about the proprietress, and now there are more racing cars.


    An Feng went to the penguin group and found that everyone was also discussing him.


    Wang Le went up to break the news at the end of the game, and added a few racing pictures. As a result, the whole group was discussing An Feng''s omnipotence, and what else he couldn''t do? They concluded that they can go to the sky and enter the sea, fly planes, tanks, and yachts, and they can do anything. If you are fascinated by racing, you will directly win the runner-up. Everyone doubted whether his body had become an alloy.


    An Feng couldn''t help laughing when he saw these speeches.


    Wang Le sat down beside him and asked, "Do you feel like you''ve become a big name? Now many people are paying attention to this race, domestic racing forums are also discussing it, and automobile websites also have special topics to analyze the performance and data of new racing cars , it feels like an F1 event."


    An Feng said: "Come on, which F1 game is not watched by more than one billion people? If there is one percent of this game, I will be satisfied."


    Wang Le said: "You don''t know how hot it is. I broke the racing performance data on the racing forum, and some people criticized me, saying that the torque of 1100 Nm is too good, and the magic car party told me that Niu Bei couldn''t run. GTR... Fuck, next time you have to take some photos with me and the car!"


    An Feng burst into laughter: "It''s just a pain in the **** for you to compete with these people!"


    Wang Le has his reasons: "Isn''t this a duty to be your brainless fan? To be honest, I plan to follow the next few races, take first-hand information and pass it back to domestic car fans. In addition, you have to Thank you, Maserati GT electric version, brother ordered the first batch!"


    "I haven''t ordered yet!" An Feng suddenly remembered that the GT sports car and the president, as the boss, must order a few cars to support him.


    Wang Le was stunned for a moment: "Let me tell you the key point."


    ��


    The automotive industry is very concerned about this pure electric competition.


    After the hot first stop, next week will be the second stop: Las Vegas.


    The team arrived at the Las Vegas Speedway on Friday, just three kilometers north of Nesri Air Force Base, far from the city center, but it is a huge speedway with a variety of tracks, feeling and amoeba racing same field. It''s just that it doesn''t have a full traditional track.


    This can only be blamed on the different preferences of the Americans. In their eyes, the track should be an ellipse. Dozens of racing cars circle it continuously for dozens of laps, and the steering wheel basically only needs to turn to one side during the whole process. But this time the track is a hybrid, that is, half oval track and half traditional track.


    This is the biggest adjustment a racetrack can make. Their goal is not to aim at F1. Even though F1 was once held, it was a long time ago, and the traditional track has long been abandoned. After An Feng drove on site, half of each lap was spent on the NASCAR oval track.


    The ellipse is basically just stepping on the accelerator and looking for opportunities to overtake. The traditional track is the time to really test the skills and judgment as well as the performance of the car. He couldn''t understand, do Americans think that car racing is equivalent to circular motion? But the complaints belong to the complaints, and the practice match has to continue.


    Today Saturday, he is particularly gripping due to his absence from Friday''s consolidation practice... While Cooper was hard at the amoeba track, An Feng was having fun at the cocktail dance. Typical cramming, like a primary school student rushing to catch up with homework on the last day of vacation.


    The efficiency is good, the only downside is that An Feng''s racing is at a disadvantage.


    The oval track is a typical high-speed track, and the average speed of the cars is very high. An Feng''s car focuses on the acceleration in the middle and front section. The defect is that it is weak in the back section of the high-speed track. The speed is only 352, which is a lot behind.


    When the results of the real car test came out, it was already too late for the GP team to modify the car. There was not enough time. The race team was about to accept the car. It is possible to debug it now, but there were not a few real car track tests. If there was a problem with the motor during the race, it would Not behind, but the tragedy of retiring.


    So the electric motor remains the same at present, and can only make up for suspension, differential, tires and other aspects.


    The GP team made a mistake in this strategy. They tuned the car according to the specifications of the traditional race. Unexpectedly, they encountered half of the oval track in the second leg, so they had to deal with it hastily. Fortunately, Cooper��s car paid more attention to balance, and finally kept the team advantage... The competition is also coming quietly.


    The morning is qualifying, with about 20,000 to 30,000 spectators. When the event was negotiated in March, it was expected to have 5,000 spectators per game, and it was a success. The current number has exceeded expectations, and the number of news media is twice that of the first station, and there are merchants who have bought out the rights to broadcast.


    At the end of qualifying, An Feng ranked fifth, with good stability but insufficient explosive power. The team''s strategy is to let Cooper continue to strive for the championship, while An Feng plays steadily, and it is good to be in the top five. With points, there is still a chance for a comeback next time. This time is a lesson of traditional thinking.


    ��


    There were 40,000 spectators in the main race. Although it was not as good as the 60,000 at the Amoeba Circuit, it was definitely true love to be able to watch the race against the scorching Nevada summer! Looking around, the auditorium is also full, and his relatives and friends are sitting in a place with a rain-proof roof.


    An Feng is also very good now, and he brings his relatives and friends to participate in the competition. Wang Le fulfilled his promise to see every stop, and Roger also dropped by. The Las Vegas is only an hour away from Los Angeles by plane. There are also some other riders, also Howard and Friends of Duke, everyone is here to support.


    The news media is the most dedicated, with the same number as in qualifying, and there are free interviews and filming before the start of the game, and the scene is very busy. An Feng adjusts in the living area of ??the team, listens to the engineer''s strategy, and his wife cheers him on...and this time it is forbidden to take a selfie with a mobile phone.


    An Feng promised: "It will definitely not happen."


    Ten minutes before the race, An Feng put on a mask and was "escorted" by the racing baby who held an umbrella for him to the front of the car. The sun in Nevada was very fierce, and the road surface temperature was 45 degrees Celsius. I am afraid that the physical exertion of this race will be much greater than in California. ��An Feng put on his helmet and sat in the car. The race is coming soon.


    The racetrack dispatched two helicopters to take pictures of the race. There were also cameras in corners and high-risk areas for overtaking, ready to take the most exciting shots. Although the race was not broadcast live, there were spectators. Maserati, as a European brand, had a lot of spectators there. .


    The warm-up lap is over and the official competition begins.


    The total distance of the race is controlled at about 200 kilometers, and the drivers need to run 40 laps this time. In the hot summer, the racers in tight clothes squeezed into the small compartment to start their fast and passionate journey. The first half of the race is an oval, and then enters a traditional track with seven turns, and then an oval.


    An Feng''s performance on the traditional track was very strong, and he overtook to third place, but on the oval section, he fell behind in embarrassment to fifth place, and faced the danger of being overtaken by sixth place. The first lap was completed, and then the second lap , the same is the case, he performed well on the traditional track, and the oval track was surpassed.


    The track is very simple. The traditional plus oval track has a total of ten corners, seven traditional corners, and the others are high-speed corners, and the width of the track is twice the usual. Don��t worry about poor cornering. The only thing is How to overtake... But overtaking has gone far away from An Feng.


    He can only maintain an advantage on the traditional track, and then be surpassed on the oval track.


    Repeatedly, under the high temperature outdoors, at an average high speed of 250, the acceleration and the environment squeezed the physical energy and water in the body, and the racers were sweating profusely. Even professional drivers can only resist with perseverance. The most test of this game is probably persistence.


    It can be said that the water vest on the body was originally solid ice, but after dozens of laps, it has turned into hot water.


    An Feng insisted on finishing the race and won the fifth place.


    Many people feel sorry for the No. 2 car. He performed very well on the traditional track, and his skills are beautiful and skilled. But when he came to the oval track, he accelerated very fast in the first half, but after the speed of 350, he showed obvious lack of stamina. Overtake other cars.


    After the race, the vehicle was weighed. An Feng didn''t care about the result. He quickly took off his racing suit that was about to catch fire. I took a few big gulps by myself, which made Joanna very distressed when she saw it.


    "I''ll help you." She silently wiped his sweat with a towel.


    "Thank you." An Feng said, then turned to the others and said, "I guarantee that the temperature in the car is over sixty degrees, just like a summer stove!"


    Howard said: "The measured outdoor temperature is 36 degrees Celsius, and Las Vegas ushered in a terrifying high temperature at the end of May. All the drivers are the same as you. The temperature inside the car is more than 60 degrees Celsius, and the dehydration is serious. The first thing is to find water to drink, this time it��s hard work!��


    "It''s okay." An Feng said, "I hope Austin Station will be cooler."


    "The weather over there is very good, with a maximum of 32 degrees Celsius in early June." Howard reported a good news.


    "It''s finally good news." An Feng said.


    There was an interview after the race, but the exhausted An Feng did not participate. This time everyone was interested in the runner-up Cooper of the GP team and the fifth An, especially the adjustment of the No. 2 car. The team also admitted that they were preparing Insufficient, missed the opportunity to win the medal.


    But on Maserati��s event news page, there are still many people supporting the number two driver. I hope that next time at the traditional F1 track in Austin, we can see the wonderful and coquettish overtaking performance like the first race. This time behind, An Feng''s popularity is still rising.


    In general, this race is more of a test of the endurance of the drivers. The GP team still performed well. Cooper lost to Chevrolet by a small gap and only got the runner-up. , There are also 2 points you can get, but the top three have the highest points.

 Chapter 345： wonderful comeback

    Chapter 345 Wonderful Comeback


    Part of the interview with the GP team after the race was for An Feng.


    In addition to Cooper, who has a strong halo, An Feng''s performance is also very optimistic. This loss is not due to technical weakness, but a strategic error. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that as long as the team adjusts, the excitement will return. But An Feng was very mysterious, and the team did not arrange any news interview activities about him.


    An Feng didn''t intend to remain mysterious. He just didn''t like to face the camera and questioned by reporters. Moreover, in a white-supremacist country like the United States, the main characters that the news media most hoped to appear were white people. Why would he join in the fun as a minority? It is this low-key mentality that makes him mysterious.


    If you were any other driver, you would certainly not be able to disobey the team''s arrangements, at least you would have to show up in front of the public, even if you stand for a minute and say a few words, but An Feng is the boss, no matter whether it is the race or the team, no one dares to make arrangements for him . He kept a low profile, and the team took care of him properly.


    The so-called extremes must be reversed, but the mystery has attracted more people''s attention.


    There are a lot of people discussing him in the competition forum, and only a few photos were posted. Someone recognized him as the husband of the owner of Liverpool, a rich man, but now he comes to play racing? It''s really strange, rich people usually protect their own lives very well, I didn''t expect to have such a passionate side.


    This has left a deep impression on car fans. If you are a driver who loves cars since childhood, has outstanding driving skills, and finally got on this road, there is nothing to say. There are too many examples in reality. But a rich man who lacks everything, but comes to play motorsports, this contrast will arouse curiosity.


    Whether in the United States or in Europe, when discussing the No. 2 driver in Las Vegas, he mentioned a few words about his status as a billionaire. A beautiful photo of my wife, a valuable report just came out.


    Since the listing of GP Energy, An Feng''s net worth has also been rising. It is currently estimated to be more than 12 billion U.S. dollars. Public data shows that he holds shares in GP, ??not GP Energy. Not weak GP electronics, so the assets doubled.


    The asset issue that has been controversial for a while has been settled, and the Liverpool fans are very satisfied. No wonder the proprietress dared to spend a lot of money, and it is no wonder that she has not shown up recently. To say that in addition to football in Europe, racing is also a popular sport.


    Then some car fans began to pay attention to An Feng.


    When the event was broadcast globally, they also saw An Feng''s outstanding performance in the car.


    No matter what else, this technology is really not bad.


    So before the start of the third round, An Feng��s popularity was rising, and the popularity of the MC Challenge was also rising. The team airlifted the car to Texas, and An Feng still stayed in California for vacation. Practicing on the road, a bit... the feeling of hanging silk doomed to be alone for a lifetime.


    No matter what Joanna did not allow, she asked An Feng to have a full rest, she asked the housekeeper to find a masseur to give him a massage and recuperation, and asked the chef to formulate a balanced meal, and she also got a reminder from the Internet that a few days before the game, he was required to For abstinence, one must maintain vigorous energy and state.


    An Feng understood: "Just let me finish the game with a simmering fire, and then put you to bed?"


    Joanna hit him: "Nonsense!"


    ��


    An Feng only came to Austin on Friday.


    Before that, other drivers trained more or less for a day or two, but he was late... Austin is a permanent F1 track with long straights, high-speed corners and sharp corners. The 300-kilometer racing car goes uphill and downhill, and the center of gravity changes frequently.


    An Feng drove a few laps. Originally, the acceleration of two or three Gs was intense enough, but when he went downhill at a high speed, it felt more violent than riding a roller coaster. It is said that the roller coaster is only about 3 Gs, but it is all-round, and the racing car is only affected by it. The acceleration in the horizontal direction feels weaker than the three-dimensional one.


    An Feng felt that after getting used to this acceleration, he would be able to doze off after riding the roller coaster.


    The racing car has gone through several rounds of testing and debugging. This time, the focus is on the adjustment of the suspension system. The purpose is to increase the downforce and replace the brake system. The brake wear on this track is moderate. The motor of the racing car is not adjusted, the reason is naturally the traditional track, which is just right now.


    After the warm-up of the practice session on Saturday, qualifying will be held on Sunday morning. This time in Austin, Anfeng''s fan base is even stronger, because the headquarters of GP company is in Austin, which is regarded as the second home of the GP team! Although I don''t necessarily understand racing, it''s the weekend, so I came here without going to work.


    GP company also bought more than 3,000 tickets and gave them away to employees for free.


    There were more than 50,000 spectators in the qualifying match alone, and more than 70,000 spectators in the afternoon race.


    The scale of 70,000 people has reached the level of IndyCar or F1. But there is also a reason why the ticket fee is much cheaper than other events, small profits but quick turnover...what the hell! Thousands of GP teams shouted at the scene. An Feng lived up to expectations, and this time he was the second fastest in a single lap in qualifying.


    The main race started under the high expectations, the camera swept across the auditorium, the flags of the GP team were flying everywhere, including enthusiastic fans and employees of the GP company. wrong. After the brewing of the first two events, the atmosphere is very warm.


    An Feng said hello to the racing MM and got on the car to get ready.


    After a warm-up lap, the five lights went out, all the cars started, and the battle resumed.


    The Austin track is very challenging. After starting for a short straight, there is an emergency hairpin turn immediately, and it is still climbing. It can make the speed of the car drop from 300 to 100, and withstand an acceleration of at least 2.5G. Then ushered in a high-speed downhill, and the speed returned to more than 300.


    The first corner was very exciting. An Feng followed closely behind Cooper, and Chevrolet followed behind him. Drivers are a huge test of endurance.


    Following a hairpin turn, it enters a state of high-speed dashing, then ushers in a series of tortured hairpin turns, and finally a sharp turn from high speed to low speed. Here it is best to switch to a single motor to play rear drive. It is not easy to run a lap, and only Formula One can handle it relatively freely, and the RV is a bit difficult.


    Even during the race, there was an accident of burning the motor. The motor of the front car burned out, and the rear car hit the rear, and the yellow flag immediately lit up on the field.


    The engineers of the team took advantage of the time when the yellow flag could not overtake, and provided the drivers with strategies.


    The performance of the racing car is too fierce. There is a reason in the formula that you dare not press the accelerator all the time for fear of blowing the cylinder. The racing car must also be careful to burn the motor. Braking and accelerating too frequently will also cause a tire blowout. According to statistics, on average, every time a tire is replaced, there are signs of peeling and damage.


    But the difficulty is for everyone. Although An Feng''s performance was not as exaggerated as in the first round, the complicated corners still allowed him to give full play to his strength. If one uses a computer to draw, one will find that the braking and driving lines are so precise that it almost looks like a computer!


    Finally, An Feng lived up to expectations and won the runner-up with a slight gap behind the first place.


    The first place is Cooper, he has also adjusted from the unfavorable environment of the last car tuning, but An Feng is not jealous of him winning the first place. When An Feng was on vacation for three days, he was training hard. When An Feng went back to rest in twos and twos, he was still summing up his experience.


    After the race, An Feng stood on the podium again. After the end, he was as low-key as ever.


    All the curious reporters did not get any interview or response from him. In the interview with the GP team after the award ceremony, Cooper was present, and the second driver Ann was still missing. The team explained that the driver was busy with work and could not get out. free. The reasons for the explanation are far-fetched.


    After the third race was broadcast in Europe and America, the enthusiasm for this electric car race has been ignited.


    When the racing car was running at high speed, the sharp and slender sound of the plane had been printed in the ears of the audience, and the audience in front of the TV could feel the charm of the unique sound. Afterwards, a professional analyzed that the motor should have adopted a loudspeaker device. Otherwise the sound would not be so strong.


    But as long as the game is good enough and the sound thrills the audience, who cares?


    The fourth race is also under intense preparation. Since Austin is a bit far away from Indianapolis, Maserati airlifted the car by civilian transport plane, which increased the cost, but compared to the popular race, the speed and status of the team are advertising. It''s money!


    ��


    The game also moved to Indiana on time.


    When the drivers are getting familiar with the track and practicing, An Feng is still in Texas for vacation and recuperation, and his wife is in good condition, finally unable to resist the temptation of the colorful world, and go to a love hotel together to enjoy the romantic theme and After rolling the sheets, it took two days to reappear.


    An Feng felt a bit worse than normal.


    Just like his talent and excellent memory, An Feng only practiced on Saturdays, and quickly formed an impression and feeling of the track. Feeling is particularly important, and drivers need to adapt repeatedly to grasp it, while An Feng only needs to store it in his mind and play it back when the time comes.


    In the team strategy meeting, the engineer asked Cooper to continue to be the first, while An Feng was to compete for the first.


    This may sound contradictory, but there are data to support it��Anfeng crossed the line a few parking spaces away from Cooper at the first stop, and crossed the line at the third stop closer to Cooper. There are also practice matches and some data from qualifying matches. An Feng is improving at a frightening speed.


    It can be seen from the fact that he still won the runner-up after leaving the home court.


    The game also attracted more than 60,000 spectators.


    Indianapolis has held many F1 sessions. Anfeng feels like a miracle. With its modified elliptical track, it abruptly joins the traditional permanent track, and then leaves about 45% of the elliptical residual area... To be honest, it is also the same as Las Vegas is not much different.


    It''s just that there are more ellipses in Las Vegas and less here.


    His car has also been replaced with two electric motors for adjustment of the middle and rear sections. This time, everyone no longer has to worry about the speed of the rear section being unable to increase... An Feng did not disappoint in qualifying and won third place. Before the start of the race, it is customary for him to have his own fans wave the flag of the GP team for him.


    An Feng was standing in the starting area, with cameras facing him, and the big screen showing his figure. Fans in the auditorium stood up and waved the flag. It is said that the flag was customized by Wang Le, and the team uniform... Last time he said I have become a fan of An Feng, this rhythm is really similar.


    After some preparations, the drivers went into battle, and the rest of the team left the starting area one after another, and the atmosphere of the competition came.


    The signal lights go out and the race officially begins.


    The track is easier than Austin''s. The fly in the ointment is that the high-speed track has no buffer zone and is prone to car accidents... Its name for car accidents puts pressure on many drivers. They seemed a little cautious in the first few laps, but after An Feng overtook them neatly, Others couldn''t hold back either.


    Limited by the ellipse, the track has 13 corners, and there are fewer high-speed corners, but the straights will be fast.


    After running a lap, An Feng used KERS at the last high-speed corner, reaching a speed of 310 per hour, followed by a one-kilometer straight. An Feng didn''t know how fast the others were, anyway, his racing screen had exploded! It just stopped at 362, and its eyes developed tunnel vision.


    When the car is driving at high speed, people''s field of vision will be narrowed. Generally, drivers will not be able to adapt after breaking through 300, and can''t see things clearly. Driving basically relies on feeling. Racers can overcome it through training. An Feng has good physique and strong adaptability. As a professional driver, he adapts to around 330.


    But the current speed is a bit scary, the motor power explodes, his field of vision narrows, and he can''t see the things around him clearly. It lasts for a short time, and he starts to release the switch in an instant, and brakes with his left foot at the same time. It is commendable that the elliptical corner is inclined, which provides downforce for high-speed cornering.


    Even high-speed racing cars can pass smoothly.


    This track is also the fastest sprint in the five races. Those who did not use KERS all had 330. After more than a dozen laps, the audience reaped great excitement, and the racers also enjoyed the fun of letting go of their speed. After entering the traditional track, it became a fierce section of competition for rankings, and An Feng''s performance lived up to expectations.


    Passing Echigo several times, Anfeng failed to complete the winning overtaking staged by An Feng. The car crossed the line with Cooper side by side, but still left a gap.


    The champion is still Cooper. In terms of driver level, some people say that DTM is for training players for F1, and as F1 is the top race, the strength of its drivers should not be underestimated. As for An Feng, that is also strength, the combination of cheating and talent, won the second place again.


    It just feels a bit like the second child in a thousand years. An Feng is considering whether to discuss with Cooper, and I will also get the first place at the terminal... But just think about it, racers are born for honor, and cheating is looked down upon. Finally on the podium, continue to fight champagne with drivers and spectators.


    Pay less attention to An Feng this time.


    Because after the end of the fourth race, the overall champion has been established. According to the points, Cooper has won three times and one runner-up. Even if he is absent from the last game, he is also the total points champion. I''m busy interviewing him and the GP team.


    The championship is settled, and the runner-up and third place are still in suspense.


    The candidate is between An Feng and the Chevrolet driver. Their points gap is not big. The ranking in the last race is very important. If An Feng wins the second place, he will be the runner-up. If the Chevrolet driver wins the second place, the runner-up trophy About to leave An Feng, he can only be the third child.


    The last stop is especially critical.

 Chapter 346： Terminal【Third watch】

    Chapter 346 The Terminal ��Third Watch��


    After the awarding ceremony, the drivers went back to change their clothes.


    After taking a shower, An Feng changed into the casual suit Joanna had prepared for him, including a white shirt, a light gray jacket, and casual pants, which looked very masculine. The bodyguards took their things and left from the convoy aisle, but they ran into the journalists waiting here, and the usual bodyguards had to step forward to act as a shield.


    But this time An Feng did not refuse the interview.


    Several reporters who were waiting on the sidelines were overjoyed. The cameras and microphones immediately started to work, and they asked some questions, such as whether he wanted to invest in a GP team and participate in bigger events? Has the team''s Cooper signed a long-term contract? Will it go to FE and so on.


    An Feng''s answer is very simple: I don''t know.


    However, the quality of the reporter is very good, and he immediately changed the question: "Mr. An, the last race in Florida is related to the ranking of the second and third places. Are you confident? Or the team will consider implementing a set of rules for Mr. Cooper, who has already won the championship. A solid winning strategy?"


    An Feng said: "I think the game must do its best, even if it is a teammate. I will go all out this time to draw a perfect end to my game career."


    Another reporter asked: "Mr. An, do you have any other plans for the event?"


    An Feng shook his head: "There is nothing else, this will be my last professional competition."


    The reporters were pleasantly surprised, and actually dug up a lot of information, and the question quickly came up: "What made you decide to give up the professional race? Your performance is very good, and the racing style is very pleasing to the audience. Even if you are not the first, but we Find out that the most enthusiastic fans at the scene are yours."


    An Feng smiled: "I have to thank this group of enthusiastic fans. There are many reasons why I no longer participate in professional events, such as age issues, family issues, etc. You know that racing is not my profession. In order to prepare for the event, I spent A lot of time is on it, and everything else is pushed."


    The reporters knew that An Feng was a rich man, and it was not surprising that racing was not a profession, so they asked, "What a pity, is it because of Madam?"


    An Feng put his arms around Joanna''s waist and nodded: "She has paid a lot for me in the past few weeks, with worries and blessings. Yes, I hope to make her feel at ease, and I want to give her more space. In addition I''m not as old as those high-energy lads."


    Everyone laughed.


    An Feng sighed with emotion: "I''m talking about racing cars."


    The reporters laughed even more happily, and Joanna laughed too. In the camera, she was hugged by her husband and leaned towards him. The subtleties revealed sweetness. The reporters turned their microphones to Joanna: "Mrs. Ann, what do you want to say about the last battle as a gentleman next week?"


    Joanna said: "I hope he can achieve his goal. In addition, I want to say that as long as he has a dream, I will support him to realize it."


    "Sir, do you think your wife has given you such great power?" The reporters asked.


    An Feng said with a smile: "No, this is a promise. But if there is a good single event in the future, I think I may return to the track."


    "Like the Indy 500?" A reporter joked.


    An Feng smiled: "For this question, I would like to thank you for your compliment."


    The Indy 500 that the reporter asked is a special part of the Indy car race. It is held at the Indianapolis Speedway. It is faster than F1, with more horsepower and higher top speed. The contestants have The Americans, there are a lot of F1 drivers too, so it''s super high level.


    So An Feng thanked him, it was a wonderful answer.


    Seeing that the time was almost up, the bodyguards politely asked for a way out and escorted the two to leave.


    The next day, things spread in newspapers and on the Internet. Many popular Chinese drivers will retire after the Florida race, and Daytona race will be his last race. As soon as the news came out, coupled with the video of the interview, it immediately attracted attention, and many car fans said it was a pity.


    They really like An Feng''s driving style. Of course, there is also a reason for the contrast in status. A super rich man who loves racing has devoted himself to professional racing and has amazing talents. This place is attractive enough. But hearing that he will withdraw after the game made many people feel sorry and disappointed.


    Roger called at night: "You''re not hype?"


    "What is there to hype about me?" An Feng asked doubtfully.


    Roger said: "The Internet has exploded! Everyone is discussing your last battle. The fans of the two gangs have already started arguing, and the scale is not small. Of course, the opponent is bigger because they debuted earlier. But you There are 100,000 fans here, and many of them speak foreign languages.��


    An Feng understood: "What I said is true, but I didn''t expect this effect."


    Roger said: "If you want to change to someone else, I must think it is a hype. I just wanted to book a ticket for the Daytona Motor Speedway, but I was told that the rostrum is full. Your popularity is not low."


    An Feng said: "The reason for the last stop? Other drivers have more fans than me."


    "I don''t care, leave me a few tickets, I didn''t go to support you today, and I will be there next time I say anything."


    "Go to Wang, he probably has hundreds of tickets for the rostrum."


    "Is he a ticket dealer?" Roger was surprised.


    An Feng smiled: "No, he intends to attract some relatives and friends and popularity for me, and he also customized more GP team flags."


    "So I''m still a die-hard fan!" Roger said, "Well, good luck to you! Next time I will be there on time to support you and show good results!"


    "I will!" An Feng said.


    ��


    Many people are looking forward to the final battle of An Feng''s professional competition, and Joanna also gave enough support.


    Tuesday they fly to Florida.


    Daytona Beach is a coastal city in northern Florida, and has always been a holy place for American motorsports. The famous Daytona 24-hour endurance race is held here. In addition, Indycar and NASCAR have tracks here. Also similar to Indianapolis.


    But at least half of its oval stages mean that it is a high-speed track. As for whether it is as fast as the previous one, I don��t know. There is a small regional race at the Daytona track one week before the race. After the racing track, it is already Thursday, everyone should take the time to familiarize themselves.


    For local American drivers, this is not difficult. Daytona is quite famous, and many people who play racing cars have run there, but it is the first time for Cooper or An Feng. It''s not safe, so you have to choose another time to feel it.


    After running a few laps on the Anfeng Track, I felt fine, so I changed into my swimsuit and went to the beach.


    Joanna said that this has nothing to do with her at all, she has given the greatest support, even if An Feng is concentrating on the track all day, she doesn''t mind. But now it seems that people are lazy for a reason. The weather in Florida was very hot, and An Feng didn''t have the patience to stay in the racing car at 50 or 60 degrees for several hours.


    The weather in Florida in mid-June is still very pleasant and comfortable, but if you have to wear a racing suit and sit in a racing car without air conditioning, all good impressions will be spoiled. An Feng wants to experience it before the impression is not bad. Take a look at the warmth and beauty of Florida... what an excuse.


    Wait until Saturday, the city begins to see more tourists.


    The last leg of the game is very attractive, and more than 80,000 tickets have been sold, setting the best record since the start of the event. The on-site audience of the MC Challenge has always been in a high state, and it does not give in to the top competitions. In addition to cheap tickets, freshness is also an important factor.


    On Saturday, An Feng took some time to get familiar with the track.


    On Sunday morning, the race kicked off, and the auditorium was already crowded with spectators. The happiest thing was the vendors. The weather was hot, and all kinds of drinks and beer had never stopped. The drivers on the racing track were thirsty after running for a few laps. It''s too bad, but I can only drink mineral water honestly.


    In the qualifying race in the morning, An Feng performed steadily and took second place.


    After the noon break, prepare in the afternoon. The pit room of the team is very lively before the race, and a small number of reporters and media are allowed to take pictures nearby, but they are far away so as not to affect the drivers and team members. An Feng sat and turned on the air conditioner, chatting with everyone, and Joanna was also there.


    The engineer is introducing the weather and road conditions. The weather is beautiful, the temperature is suitable, and the road conditions of the track are also very good. Next, the drivers need to play freely. There is no pressure on Cooper, his championship has been firmly established, and now the focus is on An Feng, hoping that he will win the championship.


    Data shows that Cooper was overtaken twice by him in the last race, and he almost won the championship in the end, confirming the prophecy of "every time will be stronger".


    An Feng crossed his legs: "Easy, if I explode, Cooper can only look at the taillights."


    Cooper said: "I will do my best to inspire you."


    An Feng smiled: "You boy!"


    The Pit room is very cool, An Feng wanted Joanna to stay here, but she refused: "I have to go with your fan club, everyone wants to see you cross the finish line with their own eyes."


    "Tell them I love them." An Feng said.


    "Must." Joanna pinched his shoulders for him, waiting for the countdown to the game.


    ��


    The well-tuned racing car began to be pushed onto the track, and the drivers were also changing their clothes. Joanna followed the bodyguards and left. An Feng also came to the maintenance area, and some reporters wanted to interview him, but the staff blocked him. An Feng just gave the camera a thumbs up, appearing very confident.


    The third grid next to ?? is Chevrolet''s opponent, a WTCC driver with a good record.


    The on-site camera gave the two opponents a lot of shots. An Feng took a leisurely look at the coolly dressed MM holding a sign, while the Chevrolet driver over there listened to the engineer''s last instructions, and he had no other thoughts on the girl, and his mood was all on the car. The reward for winning the runner-up is very rich.


    Five minutes before the start of the race, he got in the car, and the cameras were shooting the racing cars one by one. The racing babes kept showing off their charms, their eyes sparkled, and they blew kisses to seduce=temptation. Bit sequence, switch single motor, switch back to multi-motor, KERS energy adjustment, KERS acceleration, water vest drinking button... After memorizing the keys one by one, open your eyes again.


    The girls are all gone.


    The race is about to start, the start signal lights are on, and all go out��the start!


    An Feng started third, and there was a sloping curve in front of him. He stepped on the switch to run parallel with the Chevrolet driver, but he was also an old opponent and would not give in easily. He firmly occupied the inside line and did not give An Feng a chance. Before the curve, it also occupies Anfeng''s overtaking route.


    The opponent wants to compete with him for the runner-up position this time. Naturally, the fighting spirit is high. Both sides are familiar with each other''s ways. This car race can be said to be close. Gathering less and making more will sooner or later surpass the opponent.


    But you must not be careless, because the first three times when you competed with him for second place, you won by a narrow margin. As long as you make a mistake, you will miss the opportunity. And An Feng also intends to overtake Cooper and win a championship... He is fully focused and shows his best state and patience.


    The camera lens and the audience''s eyes are also focused on them. The contest between the two has been discussed very intensely on the Internet. There are already bookmakers betting on the outcome of these two drivers. Although An Feng''s opponent made his debut early, the odds are very high It is higher than An Feng, which proves that the dealer trusts An Feng more.


    Whether they are fans or bets, the two of them are destined to be the protagonists.

    PS: Three consecutive shifts have been completed.

 Chapter 347： decisive victory

    Chapter 347 Final Victory


    In the final battle, An Feng also went all out.


    Since the track is 6.31 kilometers long, the total number of laps in the race is 32. The track has ten turns, most of which are high-speed turns, but the long oval shape keeps the speed of the car at about 300 on the oval track, neither fast nor slow. The cars are all balanced and overtaking is not frequent.


    On the traditional track, it is the moment for the drivers to show their skills.


    After more than a dozen laps of the race, the enthusiasm of the audience has been fully devoted to the track. The sound of the car speeding past and every overtake by the driver can cause cheers. The fans who support each team are also praying for the extraordinary performance of the car. Concentrating on the arena, the atmosphere is very warm.


    According to the power consumption of Anfeng''s racing car and the performance of the tires, Anfeng pitted ahead of the 20th lap according to the team''s strategy. This strategy is more suitable for him because of the habit of breaking out in half a period.


    This is also to avoid conflicts with Cooper of the team. Both drivers have to keep their rankings. This is not only the honor of the drivers, but also the face of the GP team... After An Feng entered the pit, he fell behind by a dozen, and they were not too happy. Early, after entering the station one by one, the ranking returned to normal.


    An Feng��s racing car and physical condition are both very good. It is certain that he is uncomfortable, but when he gets used to it, he can ignore it and turn to the racing car. When the number of laps came to the 28th lap and the race was almost coming to an end, An Feng ranked third, ahead of Chevrolet and Cooper.


    They are all very fast as a whole, and they are about to stage a "lap", that is, the first to catch up with the car in front and lead by a full lap. There were two cars in front, the 14th and 15th were very close to each other. When crossing the oval curve, they firmly occupied the inside line, waiting for the blue flag of the racetrack.


    But Cooper obviously didn''t have the patience to wait for the blue flag. He chose to run parallel with them and prepared to overtake from the outside. The energy stored in the kinetic energy recovery system came in handy at this time. He released the energy in one go and accelerated to pass from the outside. The fifteenth car Overtaken, the fourteenth is about to be overtaken��


    Chevrolet followed closely, and An Feng also followed behind him, using his wake to prepare to overtake.


    But an unexpected scene happened. After Cooper surpassed No. 14, he was about to cut into the inside and occupy the most stable position. However, when he cut in, No. 14 was also using KERS to release energy. The situation is that the slow car is accelerated after being overtaken, and the fast car has already accelerated when overtaking.


    Both cars were fighting for speed. When Cooper cut in, the car in front hit the rear of his car. At a speed of 270 kilometers per hour, the car accident happened in an instant��Cooper''s car turned to the apex of the bend, followed by fourteen colliders. On his body, the brakes, while the fifteen who followed rear-end fourteen.


    An Feng saw Cooper''s car flipped over, debris flying in the air, and the car that hit him was also hit by the car behind to the middle of the track. It was complicated, the Chevrolet in front braked to make an emergency dodge, but An Feng was too close to see the road conditions, when the Chevrolet twisted its **** to get out of the way, the rear of the car was in front of him!


    At that moment, as long as he collided with the speed of more than 260 per hour, smashing is inevitable. Even if he is confident in the car body roll cage, it may not be able to guarantee his safety��at an extremely urgent moment, the machine brain finds out The best solution is that An Feng presses the switching function on the steering wheel with his fingers to switch the dual-motor to single-motor rear-drive mode, then presses the brake with his left foot and turns the steering wheel sharply.


    At the moment of collision, An Feng''s racing car drifted at high speed.


    The tires and brake discs slid past with smoke, and the front of the car was only a few centimeters away from the front of the fourteenth. Before An Feng''s eyes, he saw the scenery passing by and the driver''s numb movements... Cooper, who rolled out, was favored by the goddess of luck. It didn''t hit the wall, but landed at the base of the wall.


    What the car is most afraid of is not overturning, nor scratching with the car, but losing control and hitting a hard obstacle, such as a wall, fence or others. The former is almost always damaged by the car, while the driver is safe and sound, but the latter is often The car crashed, people were killed, and even the auditorium suffered.


    Cooper survived the catastrophe, but the track of An Feng''s drift swept his racing car.


    Not out of danger yet! An Feng quickly turned to the other direction, fueled with his right foot and added KERS, and controlled the brake with his left foot. The car twisted again and swept over with a more bizarre drift. Passed clearly to his ass.


    After the second drift, the front suddenly became clear. An Feng''s quick response and the quality of a racer made him adjust, and he stepped on the switch and returned to the race. The Chevrolet driver, who had just braked to evade, couldn''t do an exaggerated S-shaped evasion like An Feng''s, and had already fallen behind.


    The helicopter overhead and the surrounding cameras all captured this thrilling scene.


    The two emergency drifts shown by An Feng stunned everyone. Other drivers can usually do it, but when the vision is not clear, the incident happened suddenly, and the car in front suddenly gave way, it is lucky to know to avoid it. What''s more, An Feng reacted almost reflexively.


    It seemed that he didn''t have the time for nerve reflexes at all. When a danger happened, the countermeasures were implemented immediately. When the audience who raised their hearts realized it, the No. 2 car had already opened a distance from the Chevrolet driver, and he was still accelerating, showing that A good state of mind for a racer.


    The racing track also started to wave the yellow flag to remind the drivers behind the accident site to pay attention and not allow overtaking. An Feng, who was already the first, also avoided the accident site. But at this time the team informed him of the safety car.


    This has to be done in a proper manner. No matter how fierce or fast, you can��t overtake the safety car. As the number one, An Feng took the lead and followed behind the slow safety car, and the cars following behind also maintained their rankings. . The leading distance was completely wasted.


    The communication headset came to report the situation of the car accident. Although it was quite intense just now, all the drivers were fine. Even Cooper, who experienced the mid-air roll, only had his heart beat faster for a while. After being rescued by the security guards, he ended alive his game.


    When the safety car leads, it is the time for all drivers to adjust, and it is also the opportunity for the car to adjust.


    After one lap of the safety car, there are still three laps left in the race schedule. Currently, Anfeng is first, Chevrolet driver is second, and Red Bull is third. The competition between Anfeng and Chevrolet was very serious in this game. The rankings were almost rotated every few laps.


    Wait until the road obstacles are quickly cleared, the safety car enters the pits, and the race starts again.


    The racing car in good condition continued to run at high speed in front of the audience. The Chevrolet behind An Feng was chasing after him. However, An Feng made precise calculations every time he entered a corner. He was familiar with his opponent''s strategy and occupied a favorable overtaking position. He did not give his opponent any Opportunity goes beyond.


    The last three laps continued to be exciting. Chevrolet had to find the right opportunity to overtake, but also beware of being overtaken by the Red Bull behind. Otherwise, the loss outweighed the loss...But the adjustment of the front safety car at a slower speed, An Feng''s current state A lot has been restored.


    Staying ahead, he crossed the finish line, and the fans stood up, waved flags, and cheered in celebration.


    Wang Le, who was holding a camera in the auditorium, stood in the front and took pictures of the scene and the celebration scenes of the fan group. It will be a good memory in the future. Everyone also actively showed their faces and shouted at the camera. Wang Le chose a few of the most enthusiastic ones to interview and asked about their mood at the moment...


    After this, they were told to leave.


    Because the racing driver''s award ceremony is about to take place, relatives can watch it on the spot.


    An Feng stepped onto the podium for the first place and breathed better air than the second place. No wonder everyone likes to be the champion... It really feels good to be under the spotlight. After he held the trophy high, he came to celebrate with champagne Spray each other, and then give yourself a few sips to celebrate the victory.


    Then he stepped off the stage and pulled his wife out of the audience, hugged and kissed, causing the audience to cheer.


    During the awarding of the general competition schedule, Cooper made a move: he pulled An Feng and the third runner up, and everyone stood in the first position to celebrate together. Friendship first, competition second. An Feng also chatted a few words with his opponent, who has been convinced since seeing An Feng''s wonderful dodge.


    There was a post-match interview after the award ceremony, and An Feng did not refuse this time.


    The reporters asked questions about the champion and the runner-up. When a tricky reporter asked whether An Feng''s sub-station championship was the most satisfying moment in his career, he jokingly said: "I was ready to give Cooper a profound congratulations. Lesson, just didn''t expect God to love him."


    Cooper smiled: "According to Ann''s average time in the second half, he has surpassed me."


    "Mr. Cooper, what do you want to say about Mr. An''s retirement?"


    Cooper said: "Unfortunately, he is a very talented and enviable driver. I am also glad that I don''t have to meet him on the track."


    An Feng laughed, Cooper is very talkative...but it is also true.


    If An Feng also studies hard and trains hard for a year and a half, he will be hard-pressed to meet opponents in the arena.


    But no matter what, An Feng has won at least one championship in his career, and he has also been on the victory podium. The two drivers shook hands and took a group photo in front of the media. After the interview, they went back to summarize the whole experience and left it to the team and the depot.


    The race ended successfully, and the second driver An''s finale was also satisfactory.


    Especially the few seconds of the car accident dodging action, which were clearly captured from the aerial, on-site and driver cameras, and some people made it into a GIF animation and spread it on the Internet to show An Feng''s wonderful dodging and drifting. The technology used in such an emergency situation is probably rare in the world.


    This has also become a classic scene of An Feng, which is talked about by car fans.


    The teams with the top five points will receive competition rewards. Maserati is spending a lot this time, but in the long run, they are actually profitable. After launching the front and rear dual motor technology and the outstanding performance of the prototype sports car through the MC Challenge, the GT model orders in the third quarter exceeded 4,000.


    In the past, it was almost 70% of the annual sales of Maserati sports cars, and the presidents other than sports cars were also very popular. The dual motors broke out, and the idea of ??saving power won the applause of car owners, and the GT model also opened In the chapter of pure electric supercars, Maserati has the best opportunity.

 Chapter 348： share

    Chapter 348 share


    After the whole match, there was naturally a warm celebration.


    A certain local hotel, Maserati official, GP team, and relatives and fans led by Wang Le participated in the celebration. Celebration occasions do not have the rigor of a reception, only the delicious meals that can be seen everywhere, various champagne, cocktails, and the joyful scene of everyone toasting and drinking.


    An Feng toasted Wang Le first.


    This guy really did what he said. As An Feng��s chief fan, he followed him from California Station to Florida, across the entire United States from west to east. He is responsible for leading and managing the fan club, and also designed the flags and slogans, and recorded the grand occasion of the fans of each GP team with a handheld camera.


    Wang Le clinked glasses with him and said with a smile: "Congratulations on your winning the championship and runner-up."


    An Feng said: "Why does it sound so strange?"


    "Haha, who cares!" Wang Le smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Well done!"


    An Feng took his wife to accept the congratulations, and then got together with the team and driver Cooper to talk about future plans.


    Duke said: "In my personal opinion, Maserati can expand this event to become a world championship and conduct cross-continental events. Especially in Europe, European audiences are very enthusiastic about this type of event, and holding it will be highly rewarding. Popularity. But it mainly depends on how the manufacturer decides.��


    Bruno came over and said: "The high-level executives of the company are discussing, because the FIA ??intends to cooperate with us to create a brand-new electric car race. The high-level racing car is mainly based on high horsepower. It must be a mass-produced car to make up for the current supercar race. There are no openings for professional events."


    An Feng also made an opinion: "If it is still like the previous FIA-GT, it is best not to cooperate with the FIA. If all kinds of disgusting rules are broken, the race will change and stop sooner or later. I think we can learn from NASCAR and IndyCar. The mode of the race, the engine and chassis are developed by several manufacturers, which improves the fairness for small teams and avoids the big manufacturers burning money to monopolize the competition and not seeing fairness and excitement.��


    An Feng has a lot of complaints about the FIA. The continuous rectification of F1 in recent years is that the engine has been reduced from V10 to V8, and then from V8 to V6. It also wants to use turbocharging, which makes F1 cars and roads explode. Like the car in the car, it''s tacky and crappy, with no formula features at all.


    Bruno said: "We will consider this aspect."


    As the boss of Maserati, An Feng naturally has the right to vote on this matter. If he disagrees, Maserati will not get funds to host the event. From the perspective of a car fan, An Feng knows what is good and what is boring , and hope that the event can go further.


    And then chatted with Cooper a little bit.


    Asked about his future plans, Cooper said: "I signed a short-term contract with the GP team. If there is a competition like the current level, I may renew the contract with the team, or follow the team''s suggestion, and maybe participate in FE events. It��s also a big challenge for me.��


    "I support you!" An Feng has always been optimistic about this young man.


    ��


    The day after the celebration ended, everyone returned home.


    The No. 2 car of the GP team was reserved for An Feng. It will be airlifted back to California and stored in the Sports Car Museum, where it will be accompanied by trophies and photos as a commemoration of the peak career of the owner of the museum. Before loading and transporting, An Feng and his friends stood in front of the racing car and took a group photo.


    Then he invited a few friends to Miami for leisure.


    But they all refused, Wang Le said with a hippie smile: "Light bulbs? Go enjoy yourself, I know the life of a racing driver is hard!"


    "Damn!" An Feng despised him.


    Wang Le became more serious: "When you come back, let me know that I have something to talk to you about at home."


    "I know." An Feng nodded. It must be Bi Da''s business. It''s very popular recently, but he has no time to participate in car races in May and June.


    ��


    After more than a month of intensive training and racing, An Feng needs to take a vacation.


    Miami''s private beach mansions have become the first choice, the temperature is neither high nor low, and the outdoors are always blue sea, blue sky and white sandy beaches. The surrounding area is very quiet. According to Wu Qian, there are usually many people after November, and the rest of the time is idle. Occasionally, some professional housekeepers will come to clean the house.


    The two of them were also happy and quiet. Seeing the white sand beach and blue waves outside, this person would become lazy. Joanna put on a bikini, laid a beach mat under the shade of the coconut tree, sat down and took off her bra generously. Hand over the sunscreen beauty cosmetics to An Feng.


    An Feng was happy to serve her, and after applying it all over his body, he asked, "Drink water?"


    "Thank you." She nodded.


    An Feng went back to the house to wash his hands, went to the refrigerator to get two bottles of mineral water and bio-drinks, walked across the backyard to the beach, put them beside her, and lay down beside her to enjoy the coolness. Social account, by the way, share the photos taken in the past few days.


    After the race, the TV station and the Internet broadcasted it. An Feng has accumulated a lot of popularity. Everyone admires his calmness and calmness, as well as his excellent judgment and overtaking skills. In China, although there are not many people who look at cars due to innate conditions, they like everything they see.


    It is rare to have an outstanding Chinese driver, and many people support it. According to the statistics of the event and the performance of the car, the difficulty of the MC Challenge is not comparable to that of the German DTM. F1 continues to pursue the pinnacle.


    The most regrettable thing is that An Feng retired after the game.


    But as said in the interview, his career is not racing, and he is not young.


    For fans'' messages, An Feng chooses to reply to a few, and then uploads a wonderful photo of the game, followed by a selfie on the beach, envious of the vacation life of the office worker... Tired of typing, throw the phone aside, take it back and throw it in the basket, Then I heard laughter around me.


    An Feng turned his head, Joanna was looking sideways at him, she said, "You are so cute."


    "Thank you." An Feng said, "Your two rabbits are also cute."


    "Really?" She stretched out her hand to pinch An Feng, the jade on her chest was exposed to the air, An Feng saw it, put one hand on her, and kissed it.


    "Yeah." She closed her eyes and enjoyed, "Don''t stop."


    An Feng raised his head and teased her with a smile: "In broad daylight, your request will not affect you well."


    "It''s not the first time you''ve done this." She said frankly, and while pulling it, he pressed his hand gently on it, "Go on, the feeling I just had was wonderful."


    An Feng''s eyes met her longing, and their lips kissed together.


    It''s very exciting to do this in broad daylight. Although it''s a private beach, it faces the sea. Cruise ships occasionally pass by on the sea. The scene where the lady rides on it.


    ��


    An Feng wants to say that he has been spoiled by the environment.


    But to be honest, this feeling is still very wonderful. It is rare for Joanna to take the initiative outdoors, and the enthusiasm ignites the **** with each other. In the repeated repetitions, sweat, fatigue and satisfaction hit the brain. The demand for fighting in other occasions is very high, but An Feng''s pace at night is a bit weak.


    But it also happened to be able to snuggle up to get enough sleep. I didn��t get up until I was hungry in the middle of the night to find something to eat in the refrigerator. The two embarrassed guys rummaged through the box and the cabinet, and finally sat together eating buttered sandwiches and seeing each other��s gobbling. It was so bad that I couldn''t help laughing.


    An Feng said: "Next time, please notify me in advance so that I can prepare firepower."


    Joanna flattened her mouth: "It came suddenly, and there will be no fixed time to prepare."


    "But it''s too scary so many times." An Fenghou said in fear.


    "You have been abstinent for so long, don''t you need to release it?" Joanna said ignorantly, and gave him a piece of meat, "Hurry up and eat."


    "It''s not a one-off." An Feng chewed on the barbecue.


    She smiled and took a sip of water, chewing in small sips. An Feng shook his head, sometimes women have more needs than men, especially when they get older, but An Feng dare not say that after the age of twenty-five, she hates talking about age and birthdays the most. An Feng''s thirty years old is just a small celebration.


    After a few days of vacation, the old clothes are thrown away, and the holiday-dressed duo takes a civil flight back to California.


    In late June, An Feng has a lot of things to do. Now that the competition is over and the vacation is enough, he starts to deal with work. Even as a boss, there are also very busy moments, such as the distribution of Bida shares and subsidiaries, which obviously need to be handled by the boss.


    He went to Los Angeles for a meeting with shareholders.


    It can also be regarded as a consortium cooperation meeting, and CEO Schwaben introduced the main situation.


    "The company''s performance in the first half of this year is very good. The order volume of high-end beverages continues to rise, which is three times that of last year. After more than half a year of development, the efficacy of bio-drinks is different from ordinary beverages. order."


    This result is also expected by An Feng. The most typical ones are the people around him. For his wife, she has always been a loyal supporter of high-end products. After using it, the frequency of using cosmetics can be greatly reduced, and the skin has also recovered Ten-year-old smooth and delicate, highly rated.


    It can relieve fatigue, improve physical fitness, and prolong life. This is irresistible to both men and women. It is inevitable that high-end products will continue to rise. Among the low-end and mid-end products reported by Schwaben, they are no less popular than high-end products because of their unit price. Relatively cheap and has more analysis groups.


    The sales volume of high-end products is limited, but the low-end and mid-end products are started to supply as much as possible. In this regard, the requirements for the research center are also very high. Now it is necessary to spend money to build factories to increase production, mainly for the low-end and mid-end products. The profit is not as good as that of the high-end products. The product is high, but the audience is large, and the profit is correspondingly more.


    After hearing about the advantages, An Feng and the shareholders will consider the issue of shares.


    In the cooperation with the Hart family in the UK or the Wang family in China, the strategy has been changed. Instead of adopting the nature of the previous branch, a subsidiary company has been established and authorized by the head office. The most important thing is cash��the accumulated cash is kept in the In offshore accounts, avoid taxes.


    It will be like Apple, hundreds of billions of cash can be kept overseas, but once it returns to the United States, it must pay taxes��but unlike Apple, they are a worldwide consortium, and foreign countries can still digest the future except for the United States. Huge amounts of cash generated.


    So there is no need to worry about this matter at all. At present, it is the share issue.


    The consortium decided to leave all the shares of the Los Angeles headquarters to its own people. The technology belongs to Anfeng, who is the absolute controlling shareholder. Others will pay cash or exchange shares in exchange for the proportion. The overseas subsidiaries will let the headquarters account for 55% to 70% accordingly. The left and right share depends on the economic capacity.


    Several consortium partners negotiated and divided into two countries in North America, China, and three key points in Western Europe, which will be authorized by the head office. And considering the problem of capital operation, they will pay the share value of cash to the company''s overseas account within two to three years.


    After the preliminary plan is discussed, if it goes well, it will be possible to spread the bio-drink across the three continents of America, Asia and Europe before next year, forming different centers, absorbing funds from all over the world, and extending the tentacles of the consortium to the world. The "gold rights" required for the three points are already available.

 Chapter 349： growing

    Chapter 349 Expanding


    Recently, the mainstream media have given large-scale reports, such as the Associated Press and Reuters, they discussed the "Bida" biological beverage that caused the fire in the United States and even burned in Canada. Although the company is no longer news, it has recently been reported that they preparing for globalization.


    The epoch-making significance of bio-drinks has already become the consensus of mainstream media in Europe and the United States. The Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times have analyzed and reported that Beta Company grasps the future. With the characteristics and effects of its beverages, it is likely to gradually integrate into human life. middle.


    It is rare for these international mainstream media to give such a consistent high evaluation, and it also makes the world''s attention focus on Bida. Although the upcoming global cooperation is a major event for enterprises, the national government is also concerned about it, mostly out of economic and security considerations.


    Needless to say about the economy, with reference to the popularity of the United States, an actress once said: "The future without it may be a nightmare." The Hollywood actress is very famous, and she bears the responsibility of public opinion for saying this, but she is firm. It has its own position and has many supporters.


    Safety issues, although the FDA has undergone strict testing, but not in other regions, if there is a company in Europe that can authorize production, safety inspections are necessary, but most people think it is meaningless, because the main raw materials are made by Jean and Tima Biological Research Center developed.


    This research institution... can only admire, many seemingly impossible and absurd things have been confirmed by them, such as the safety of the original genetically modified wine, they used supercomputers to speculate against the sky - and then used the same algorithm to overcome AIDS.


    From the perspective of economy and security, the concerns of a small number of people can hardly become an obstacle to development.


    Without obstacles, Bida''s actions have attracted the attention of enterprises and the government, and the actions have affected the interests of many people. Behind the scenes, there is no doubt that the newborn but deep-rooted Dezhou consortium is behind the scenes. First there was graphene technology, then monopoly medicine, and now bio-drinks.


    The few people who attracted the attention of the outside world are now gathered in New York.


    The Texas consortium and partners were all present, and the only important person was An Feng, who was temporarily absent. He said that he only needed to review the final result. As for the negotiation process, he could choose to listen to it, and then he disappeared for a long time, without even a hologram. It seems to be traveling.


    But he wanted to join, so he probably dozed off halfway.


    Several big families of the consortium gathered together, Sinclair, Brulen and Hart, as well as other core families. The focus is on the cooperation of biological drinks. The consortium attaches great importance to it��at first, Bazel paid attention to it. Since a private meeting with An Feng, he has made decisions for everyone.


    He believes what An Feng said, that Bida is a kind of "drug" that is of great benefit to human beings. This is not a joke. After the news media and himself tried it, he also felt full of vitality and much younger. Out of the correctness of An Feng in the past, he now believes and plans to spread it.


    No one doubts An Feng��the one who doubts will not appear here.


    Now they discuss how to go to market faster and faster. If you want to promote it on a global scale, the test is to take the first step of the economic foundation. This is the money that Bazel requires for the shares of the subsidiary company. It has to delay the payment to the head office for two or three years. "Killing the chicken to get the egg" is not a long-term consideration.


    Franson Hart said: "The UK is fully prepared, and it is easy to bring the Western European market. I can use the help of my business partners to complete the laying of the Western European market within a year. With the relationship of the rest of you, I will It��s also easy to expand in Europe.��


    Austin Blueline said: "There is no problem in the central and southern regions. At present, the finances of several countries are very weak, and fresh blood needs to be injected."


    Matthew said: "North America is no longer a problem."


    Andrew Sinclair said: "Now we will see what our Chinese partners can do."


    Matthew is also in charge of this: "It''s mainly government relations and economic issues. American Express can give them loans, but the government of this country is different from Europe. They are skeptical of the United States, even with these incredible drinks. With a certain degree of vigilance.��


    Matthew hasn''t said it all yet. In fact, those who have a bad relationship with the United States will have doubts. But it will be accepted sooner or later, just like human beings have to learn to make fire, eat cooked food, and wear clothes... Slowly carry out the industrial revolution, step by step, this is the law of development and cannot be stopped.


    Bazel knocked on the table, and a hologram of the earth was projected in the center of the conference table. He clicked on the desktop display, and several places turned green. He said: "These areas are the focus of work from the second half of the year to June next year. If the requirements can be met, the next step is..."


    He clicked again, most of the earth turned green, and said to everyone: "This is five years later."


    Franson asked: "Have you considered the impact of similar product competition?"


    Everyone is also looking to Bazel. In five years, many companies may imitate it. Although it will not change the status, it will weaken the effect.


    Bazel said: "Ann told me, and I also investigated, some of them have applied for drug patents, as long as they are not authorized, whoever touches them will sue."


    He looked at everyone again: "So there needs to be a solid political relationship here."


    Everyone knows that the friendly cooperation with those government officials and congressmen is to become their spokesperson, otherwise why support them?


    "In addition, technology can also be innovated and replaced." Bazel said confidently, "As long as the research institutions continue to operate, we can stay ahead in technologies including bio-drinks and other medicines. From the beverage industry to drive other High tech and manufacturing."


    "A lot of the key lies with Ann." An old voice sounded, and Alex Blulane, who was sitting on Bazel''s right hand, looked at everyone. What happened was so exciting that he chose to come out and take a look.


    Bazel looked at the people with different expressions, and said in a deep voice: "Compared with us worrying about Ann, it is better that Ann is more worried about us. He pinned his hopes on us and took greater risks than everyone here. I hope Put aside your idle suspicions, otherwise what''s the point of asking the Sinclair family to make changes? We, including Ann, have invested a lot of money and energy into these plans."


    "I agree!" Matthew stated, "Most of the success is created by him."


    "Me too," Anthony said.


    "Without this amazing young man, we would not be where we are today," Austin said.


    "I follow you." Franz Hart said.


    "Do you still have any questions?" Bazel looked at everyone one by one with a majestic gaze. Although he was not the oldest present, he was the most courageous and powerful. Everyone believed in him, including Ann. Feng also thought he would be a good leader.


    "I agree." More people expressed their opinions, and Alex had no doubts.


    Bazel continued: "It is only the first step. Through graphene technology, biotechnology, and superconductors that have just come out recently, and then based on the traditional fields that you are good at, earn wealth mainly with high technology, and form a more A huge consortium system is just around the corner!"


    The desktop projects more future plans, covering all aspects, and the key is the technology brought by Anfeng. Many consortiums have opportunities and frameworks, but they lack thrust��they have obtained the power to push the earth, and they can use it more easily to impact the world.


    The capitalists continue to discuss the cooperation and future of the consortium, and they are scheming and are enclosing land.


    ��


    An Feng, who didn''t even appear in the hologram, is actually in New York.


    He is trying a very popular thing - go to the official Nokia direct store in New York to see if he can buy a new smashing walnut Nokia for domestic elder sisters. But facing the long queue, he gave up. Purchases are limited, and foreign tourists, especially those of the yellow race, must register.


    Because scalpers are too strong, many people use human channels.


    An Feng stood outside and took a look. The direct-sale store is very simple at present. There is only one Nokia mobile phone launched by Berger. In the future, tablets and peripheral devices will be launched, but the products at the counter are very simple now. Apart from mobile phones, there are peripheral accessories. And the overcrowded experience area.


    Wang Le, who travels with them, is used to it: "I heard from the news that since the release in March, New York is full of customers every day. Last time I lived in New York for a few days, I had to wait in a long line to buy two mobile phones. , and finally got it through the retailer��s high-priced channel.��


    An Feng shook his head innocently: "It''s none of my business, I''m not in charge."


    "But your wife is a shareholder, at least leave a hundred or so for us!" Wang Le said through gritted teeth.


    "I am no longer a professional parallel importer?" An Feng said.


    The popularity of mobile phones was also around Anfeng��s preparations for the event. Just like the original press conference, the first batch of goods were sold out. Berg Company is very real. If there is nothing, there is nothing. They take the time to find Asian OEMs or South American OEMs. , but the mass production speed still cannot keep up.


    Because the screen and chip technologies come from GP, they specially set up additional factories to meet the production demand, but the result is still in short supply, which greatly limits the mass production of mobile phones. Those who were unable to buy later scolded hunger marketing, but the company was indeed very innocent and had already turned on its horsepower.


    It��s just that the executives and shareholders are overjoyed. This hot scene is far beyond expectations. From the aspects of freshness, performance and durability, it has contributed to its popularity. Now even Apple is a little bleak in front of it. Saved some face and was not sniped.


    The scene seen in Manhattan is just a microcosm.


    Both Anfeng and Wang Le can confirm its popularity. The establishment of directly-operated stores in a wider range and the re-authorization of retail stores are already on the way. China''s such a large consumer market is waiting. The cooperation issue that Anfeng talked about last time is now You can also formally negotiate with Berg.


    This is very profitable, and it can be regarded as An Feng helping a friend.


    There is another thing about An Feng''s appearance in New York: the cooperation between the Wang family and the consortium. A representative from the Wang family came this afternoon. As An Feng who recommended them to join the gang, he had the responsibility to bring them in. That''s why he was hanging out with Wang Le on the streets of New York. He had a mission on his shoulders.


    The cooperation between the royal family and the consortium on bio-drinks has been confirmed.


    After a few days of discussion, the plan has come out. As an agent in China and even East Asia, they will own 40% of the shares of the subsidiary. The advantages of bio-drinks are very strong, there are no competitors, and anyone with a little brain can do well... If it doesn''t work, it proves that it has no chance.


    But Wang Wei, as a domestic business leader, is obviously not stupid.


    When the opinions of all the people reached a consensus, they returned to Los Angeles and signed an agreement with all partners at the headquarters of Beta Corporation. The cooperation can be started only if the company in the host country has no problem with the application. With the step of expansion, the consortium has one more influence on the world, and it is more three-dimensional.

 Chapter 350： sell green

    Chapter 350 Selling Green


    At the beginning of July, An Feng was flying in the sky.


    This racing addiction is over, and then it becomes playing airplanes. Helicopters have been proficient as early as a few years ago, and recently there is a trend towards fixed-wing development. From single-engine fixed-wing, multi-engine business jets, to supersonic aircraft, they have more or less contacted.


    But this time instead of doing some aerial juggling, it''s picking people up.


    During the holiday, the domestic bear children were restless and clamored to come to play with her uncle. The country was too boring, and there were some serious things, so they flew to the United States with their parents, grandparents and grandparents. After landing at the airport, they took a taxi to Santa Monica Airport with ease.


    An Feng arrived at the airport early, waited for the phone to light up, and answered the call to report the location.


    I met their family at the airport entrance.


    "Uncle, I miss you!" Xiaoyu''s mouth was very sweet, and when she saw him, she turned into a butterfly and rushed towards her. An Feng opened his hands and hugged her, and hugged her with a smile, and then put it down, the girl was alive and kicking It''s as if it has been wound up, and it''s full of energy. It doesn''t look like it has been on a plane for more than ten hours.


    An Feng looked at her who had grown a lot taller: "I haven''t seen you in half a year, girl, you''ve already gotten rid of your little one!"


    "Of course, I''m growing up, and I''ll be taller than you by then." Xiaoyu stepped on his feet to compare her height with him. She is ten years old this year, and the little bug who gave An Feng horse urine as red wine back then has grown up and taller now. An Feng laughed when he heard it: "Girl, don''t be as tall as me!"


    My sister reminded her: "You are the same as your aunt."


    "Oh." The girl nodded understandingly. She was about 1.8 meters tall with An Feng, and she was too tall to be a model. How could her future husband hold his head up?


    "Auntie is so beautiful, I want to be like her when I grow up." Xiaoyu said beside An Feng.


    "Eat healthy, eat more vegetables and exercise more, you will." An Feng patted her head, "Let''s go, your aunt is waiting for you!"


    When they came to the airport, they boarded the plane separately, and put their luggage in the storage area on the side. An Feng wore a pair of sunglasses coolly, sat in the cockpit, and after contacting the control tower with a headset, he was allowed to take off. An Feng drove the helicopter to take off smoothly, and started to speed up after the altitude was suitable.


    After the AW139 has been refitted, a lot of sound insulation and sound absorption equipment has been installed. Once the hatch is closed, the sound in the cockpit becomes very quiet. An Feng��s family also diverted their attention from the noise. Let��s talk about this new the plane, and then look at the scenery of the land under your feet...


    After nearly an hour of flight, we arrived over the vineyard.


    Xiaoyu stood up, looking at the land below through the porthole, identifying the landmarks, mumbling whose home this is, whose home that is... It sounds like they are the names of some of her former friends, this friendship started from An Feng Since the beginning of living in the United States, we have kept in touch.


    "Wow! Uncle''s house is green!" Xiaoyu yelled, "What a big maze, and a fountain!"


    Everyone gathered around the porthole when they heard the sound. There are more than 100 acres of green land below, full of emerald green, and carefully trimmed evergreen trees are planted in the center of the green land. It''s a fountain, very beautiful.


    This is the result of recent land transformation. One hundred acres, in China, is more than 600 acres. This area is really not small. Now it has completely become an open green space. A horse strolls leisurely.


    After An Feng stopped the plane, he asked with a smile, "Look at the garden green space I created, how about it?"


    Brother-in-law said: "Originally, grapes were grown here, right?"


    "No more planting now, but high-tech planting instead." An Feng invited those who didn''t understand to enter the house.


    The first thing Xiaoyu did when she entered the room was to come to her aunt and greet her sweetly. Her English is not bad.


    Joanna kissed her forehead: "Honey, you are very welcome to be a guest!"


    After everyone sat down, the servant served tea and snacks. Mr. Brandon, in a straight tuxedo and with a slightly serious face, stood behind the hostess, paying attention to the details. Seeing these orderly scenes, my mother whispered to my father: "It''s like a landlord!"


    An Feng smiled: "This house is too big, and when we usually have time, it would be better to hire some people to manage it."


    "It''s the evil spirit of the landlords to put it in the country." Dad jokingly said that the older generation is used to thrift and is not used to this kind of scene where there are people serving tea and water throughout the process.


    "Just treat it as a star hotel or a high-end restaurant." An Feng said.


    "That''s the only way to go." My sister said.


    The discomfort is only short-lived. Over the years, Anfeng has supported them in many ways, and their living standards have steadily improved. After seeing many big scenes, it is only a matter of time before they adjust and adapt. After getting acquainted, we chatted about the green grass just now.


    But my brother-in-law was particularly puzzled: "Don''t grapes grow in hot gravel soil? Why can it grow so well when you plant grass on it?"


    An Feng nodded: "That place is indeed sandy soil, which is not suitable for planting other plants, but I used a new type of plant that is more suitable for the environment, and it can adjust and adapt to this unfavorable environment for growth."


    After listening to some, the conclusion is "science".


    After An Feng briefly explained to them, he would talk about other things. After everyone had digested their snacks, the tiredness of the long-distance travel also hit, and the housekeeper arranged for them to rest. Brandon reminded An Feng at the right time: "Sir, you have a schedule at three o''clock in the afternoon, and you need to go to the ecological base."


    "I see, thank you." An Feng said.


    At 3:00 p.m., An Feng went to the nearby ecological base��that is, the wasteland that was bought by the way at the beginning. There were many gravels, and the renovation cost was high, and no one developed it. Later, because of the needs of the "Green Earth" project, An Feng bought it and used it as a large-scale outdoor experiment base for the project team.


    They have achieved very good results. An Feng''s earth-shaking green space in one month is the result, and now he needs to participate in the discussion of several company operations. Two months ago, a company registered as "Green Earth" was established locally, and the base is here.


    The nature of the company is very special, and it is invested by Ang''s industry, research centers and private individuals, so the development projects are not limited to botany. Green Earth is a big concept that also includes desalination, highly adaptable plants, and specialized fertilizers.


    An Feng mainly discussed cost and commercialization with R&D Minister Sam and company management.


    In fact, it is to discuss how to "sell green".


    Sam introduced to them: "According to the current strategy, after receiving the order, we will first test the natural conditions of the land, the environment, and the underground structure, and use the computer to calculate the best plan, and gradually adjust the genes and plants that adapt to the plant. growth habits, and deploy suitable fertilizers."


    Commercialization is very complicated, and the company will come up with different plans for different lands��this effectively eliminates the possibility of copycats after getting the seeds. There is a saying in ancient times, "Oranges grown in Huainan are oranges, and oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges. ", the reason is the same, the growth of plants is adapted to local conditions.


    This ensures that the technology must be provided by the company and cannot be stolen. Technology theft is difficult, and spot checks and inspections in the early stage of work are time-consuming. For example, the afforestation of Anfeng''s more than 100 acres of land took two full months to observe and record, and only half a month to actually plant.


    After An Feng took the management to understand the process, he began to look for orders.


    This time, An Feng made it easier for him to take the company''s R&D director and director to talk with the governor.


    The environment in California is actually quite harsh, because it is close to the Nevada desert, and the northern part of California has good greenery, but after leaving the city in the central and southern parts, there are desolate Gobi and deserts. Palm Springs, which is only a hundred kilometers away from Los Angeles, is surrounded by Surrounded by a large desert.


    So environmental California is important, they need to be green.


    After understanding their thoughts, the governor had a question: "Is it harmful to the soil or groundwater? Will it cause foreign invasion when it coexists with other normal plants?"


    Even if it is recommended by An Feng, the governor has to be careful. If this kind of thing is done well, it is a glorious achievement. Think about it, how beautiful it is to turn Southern California with harsh conditions into an "oasis"? It''s not just governors who benefit. But once it fails, the consequences are equally serious.


    In this regard, Sam said: "We deploy each batch of seeds based on field survey data, that is to say, it has no fixed nature. The computer decides what is suitable, and we use the most suitable one. The impact of seeds on the environment, Far less than the difference it makes."


    "For example, in southwestern California, where almost all deserts are uninhabited, we can cultivate plants with a well-developed root system and strong drought resistance, while around cities, like San Diego, we cultivate plants that grow more moderately and occasionally require manual care. plant."


    "On the issue of the invasion of alien species, please rest assured, Mr. Governor, we are all focusing on this aspect. It can be said that we can plant improved species and normal plants together, and the impact between them is not great. But there is a truth , the laws of nature determine that the good ones will weed out the bad ones sooner or later.��


    The governor listened to Sam''s remarks and considered.


    Opportunities and political achievements were in front of him, and finally he made a safe decision: "Try it around Los Angeles first, and the government may allocate about 10 million US dollars. If the results are good, I believe that both residents and congressmen are willing to cooperate with you. cooperate."


    The governor is more cautious, but as the first to eat crabs, there is nothing wrong with being careful.


    Finally, Sam shook hands with the governor, and things were settled smoothly. After the parliamentary discussion is over and the financial resolution is passed, a contract can be signed with the Green Earth Company. They are also responsible for greening the land around Los Angeles, preventing sandstorms, and purifying the air polluted by car exhaust.


    ��


    The first order is a bit small, but it''s a chance to prove yourself.


    Wait until the growth cycle is over and everyone sees a good greening effect. Are you still worried about orders? There are many deserts in the western United States. Turning the land green is a shortcut for many politicians to gain political achievements. They will definitely be happy to allocate funds from the financial plan and participate in this plan.


    At that time, it will not be tens of millions, but billions.


    Anfeng��s vision is not only in the United States, but also in China, the Middle East and even other parts of the world. As long as there is a need, greening can be realized through high technology. As far as he knows, several countries in the Middle East that have oil but no trees have always looked forward to a green environment.

 Chapter 351： Pick up the car

    Chapter 351 Picking up the car


    In order to meet the first order, the company started manual recruitment.


    Anfeng''s most troublesome manpower problem in the past is easy to solve this time. The company has enough technical personnel, and now it needs to do physical work��transportation, cultivation or manipulation of machinery. Obviously, technical specialists with thin arms and thin legs cannot do it. Come on, you still have to be big.


    It took some time to deal with it properly. An Feng returned to the essence, chose a sunny day, lay down on a deck chair by the pool, had a bottle of drink and fruit, played on his mobile phone and listened to music for a leisurely afternoon. In addition to these, An Feng also discussed something serious with his brother-in-law, which was the issue of mobile phone agency.


    Since Nokia��s new mobile phone has sparked popularity in North America and Europe, the domestic agency has also entered the process. After the establishment of a subsidiary in China and the opening of an official direct-sale store, authorized dealers will also spring up like mushrooms. An Feng had mentioned it to them at the beginning.


    Now talking about it again, An Feng said: "It''s also easy. After the mobile phone is allowed to enter China for sale, the subsidiary will be established. At that time, I will go back and discuss the distribution of shares with those friends, and sign the contract in your name. That''s fine. By the way, the money works, right?"


    "It''s okay for less than five million." The brother-in-law said.


    "So powerful?" An Feng was surprised, his next sentence was about to sign a check.


    The brother-in-law is quite proud: "I have made some money from my business over the years, and my parents gave it to me and got a loan. I have already obtained the qualification of an Audi 4S store, and I also run a second-tier dealership of other brands. Currently, I am able to circulate There is still a lot of funds, but I am not sure about the investment amount, so I am asking you."


    "Let me think about it." An Feng thought about it seriously, "The five authorized stores are estimated to need about 16 million to 20 million funds. According to the high specification, 30% of the share needs 6 million. I will fill out the form for you now. A check for a million dollars, and the funds will be out of question."


    Brother-in-law said: "Let''s transfer money to my international account, the check is easy to lose."


    "Okay, whatever you want." An Feng said.


    After a while, the brother-in-law saw that An Feng hadn''t moved, so he asked, "Don''t you want to issue an IOU?"


    "What?" An Feng really didn''t think about this, anyway, the most important thing he lacks now is money, and he still has a headache how to spend money to reduce taxes.


    But my brother-in-law is an honest person. Even though he knows that An Feng lives a luxurious life and has a lot of money, he has no intention of taking advantage of it. An Feng smiled and said: "Just keep it in your mind, you know I don''t need this little money. The rest should be treated as lucky money for Xiaoyu in advance. Girls need to be rich."


    The brother-in-law said: "Now the child''s life is good enough, not only us, her grandparents will always give a lot of money every year, other people''s family''s lucky money is tens of thousands to show off, she started directly in six figures, we They are all worried that if this continues, they will not be spoiled in the future."


    An Feng shook his head: "It''s nothing to worry about, you and your wife should talk to Joanna later, that''s how she got here when she was a child, the little princess at home has everything since she was a child, and when she grows up, she needs to be temperamental and virtuous. What''s wrong? You ask her to find a few tutors for the girl, and learn about etiquette, speech and elegant interests. Then you will understand that being rich and having connotations are not mutually exclusive."


    Brother-in-law smiled bitterly: "But the starting point of birth is different."


    "The key is not the capital investment?" An Feng rolled his eyes, "As long as you are willing to spend money on places that can properly educate your children, for a girl, her life is different from that of a boy, right? She has both ability and political integrity, and her family background is not bad. Only in this way can we form a multi-faceted competitive advantage.��


    Brother-in-law said: "Yes, after all, girls think more about themselves."


    "Isn''t it?" An Feng said, "She must have the demeanor of a high-class lady, she must have the minimum etiquette and conversation, and she must also cultivate some interests. I mean, she also likes equestrianism and noble sports now. You have to Support! Otherwise, when you get along with those young masters in the future, you will have nothing to show for it. If you only have money, others will just treat you as a rich and brainless type."


    "It makes sense." The brother-in-law figured it out.


    An Feng is very proud of his ability to learn without a teacher.


    "Wait! It seems that our identities have been swapped?" The brother-in-law reacted.


    An Feng said: "There are some concepts that children can''t understand thoroughly, just like you, the exception is me."


    "Sophistry." Brother-in-law shook his head.


    "Haha!" An Feng laughed, the phone next to him rang, and he picked it up to answer it.


    Howard called and asked him to pick up the car.


    Only then did An Feng remember that he ordered two niche sports cars from Howard two years ago, followed by three Rolls-Royces. He forgets things a lot, and it wasn''t until today''s reminder that he suddenly realized his feat. After hanging up the phone, find out the original dealer''s phone number and call it.


    Coincidentally, if everything goes well, the car will arrive tonight, and it should be picked up tomorrow afternoon, but An Feng made an appointment for the morning of the day after tomorrow, because he is not free tomorrow, and he has to go to the Amoeba Circuit to see the Indy Car racing, feel the American "F1" culture.


    The next day he took his interested sister''s family to watch the game.


    IndyCar race has the same howling sound as F1, as well as faster and more exciting speed.


    There were a lot of spectators at the scene, nearly 100,000 tickets were sold, and the ticket price was not cheap. The race track alone earned a lot of money... After the race, An Feng took them to his sports car museum, Get a glimpse of what a top fan''s garage looks like.


    The result is naturally shocking. My brother-in-law must know cars, and my sister is also selling cars at home. I am fascinated by the fact that I am familiar with cars. I have seen these sports cars that are either sky-high prices or rare. Although the model is not very specific, I also know that many of them are wealthy Not necessarily available.


    They took a group photo with the sports car, and the grand finale was Anfeng��s Maserati No. 2 racing car. This is a separate display area, with the racing car displayed in the center, the photos of the event on the surrounding walls, and the trophies on the storage racks. An Feng proudly talked about his participation experience and brilliant achievements.


    Although they had learned about it through the Internet, they could feel the intensity and excitement at that time after listening to An Feng''s personal story and watching this brilliant racing car.


    The brother-in-law said regretfully: "It''s a pity that the time is not right, otherwise I will also support you. When I was young, I dared to drive a motorcycle for ten kilometers without a license. I knew that when you grow up, you have to find something that can run fast. , it will definitely itch!"


    Sister nodded deeply, An Feng actually has a lot of criminal records.


    Joanna was curious: "Say what?"


    My sister translated for him and supplemented the feat of An Feng when he was a minor. He secretly drove the family motorcycle out of Biaoshan Road. At night, he was almost hung on an electric fan and beat him. , It is a pity that the feat of ringing the mountain road for a week was not completed in the end.


    Joanna also smiled after listening to these stories: "I''m imagining your childhood madness, it must be wonderful."


    "I''m very well behaved, okay? An Yi, don''t spread rumors to slander me!" An Feng argued.


    "Uncle''s mouth will rot if he lies." Xiaoyu whispered.


    Under the unanimous disbelieving eyes of everyone, An Feng finally couldn''t hold back... In the evening to discuss travel for the past few days, my sister is considering taking my parents on a self-driving tour to San Francisco, where the coolness and the scenery can be enjoyed. Originally Xiaoyu wanted to go with her, but she chose to go with her aunt.


    "Little traitor, you finally know who loves you the most!" An Feng hugged her and sat down between himself and Joanna.


    Little girl has interacted a lot with Joanna recently, riding a pony, learning foreign languages, getting along very well, and choosing more interesting ones is also expected. Hearing this decision, my sister didn''t object, but there was a condition: "You have to listen to your uncle and aunt, and don''t run around thinking I''m not here!"


    "We pull the hook." She held out her hand.


    My mother said to An Feng: "You have to be careful with the child!"


    "I know." An Feng dragged his voice, "I just took her to Los Angeles for shopping, bought something to eat and came back."


    "I really like eating, grandma." Xiaoyu began to act cute.


    In the end, the little girl got her wish. The next morning, my brother-in-law drove out the Maserati in Anfeng��s garage. This is a small number of four-door cars. Although high-profile.


    An Feng took the cute girl in a dress with shawl hair on the plane to Los Angeles.


    The first thing I went to was Howard''s store, but he happened to be away on business, so the staff received him. An Feng''s Koenigsegg Agera-R and Pagani Huayra parked quietly in the garage, wrapped in black cloth. The crew pulls away to reveal a white Koenigsegg and red Pagani.


    "Beautiful!" An Feng took a closer look. Both cars are extremely rare, even in the United States, a country of supercars. The low output determines that there will always be a small number of car fans who can own it. He is the minority. Driving on the street will be envied by countless people.


    After appreciating the appearance, get on the car and start the inspection, and finally load the car and transport it back.


    They went to the next stop, and the Rolls-Royce sales center in Beverly Hills was also ready to welcome customers. Ordering three cars in one go is also a very heroic act, although the total price is not as expensive as any of the previous cars... Ann Feng saw two solemn black long-wheelbase phantoms.


    The exterior is black, the interior of the seat is elegant wine red, and the design of the side door is very retro. Finally, there is the very eye-catching two-door convertible Phantom. The milky white body dilutes the solemnity of the double R, and the slightly lighter white interior makes it more lively.


    Originally, these three cars were also loaded and sent back, but An Feng improvised: "Shall we take this car?"


    An Feng thought at the beginning that it must be a beautiful thing for a man in his 30s and 40s to drive this two-door convertible and take a noble woman and children on a trip to the countryside. He is also thirty years old, and his formal attire looks very stable. With Joanna in the same attire, the only thing missing is a child��now there is a substitute, the little cute girl chatting with the female salesperson on the sofa in the VIP area.


    "Of course." Joanna smiled.


    An Feng finally decided to pick up the car himself.


    He came to the passenger door. The carriage-style rear-opening door is very special, which also distinguishes the Phantom from other models. Its door handle is in the front and under the rearview mirror. Pull open the long and heavy door and move it. Get down the back of the passenger seat, let the child sit in the back row, and then ask the lady to get in the car.


    Go around to the driver''s seat, the spacious space is enough for a gentleman to get in the car.


    Although this car is a two-door convertible, it is not positioned as a sports car, but a coupe at most. Strictly speaking, it is a luxury car with a length of 5.6 meters. Even the four-door Phantom is only 20 cm longer than it. Length means ample seating space. It is no exaggeration to say that the rear row is like a sofa, which looks quite comfortable, and it is also comfortable to sit on. It is the most spacious and luxurious rear row of two-door car that Anfeng has ever seen.


    Needless to say, the front row is a luxury car brand that pursues top-level enjoyment, and it pays special attention to ride experience. Even if it is equipped with a huge V12 engine, its performance is mainly stable and comfortable. Its most intense acceleration from 100 kilometers takes six seconds to complete.


    But whoever drives this car, who cares how much it accelerates?


    Open the hood on the street, and the bustling streets on both sides become the background. This car has a higher rate of turning heads than a sports car. When passing an intersection or turning, passers-by look sideways or take out their mobile phone records. Wherever he went, there were envious eyes.


    Those who drive super sports cars may be young people who pursue excitement, or they may be old-fashioned people, but those who drive such luxury cars must be people with taste. Those who can use their own demeanor to inspire this elegant feeling are even more special among the crowd.


    Unknowingly, Joanna has put on sunglasses.


    An Feng, who was also driving with sunglasses, smiled tacitly with her. Strictly speaking, they are actually famous.

 Chapter 352： holographic art

    Chapter 352 Holographic Art


    Walking around Beverly Hills slowly, the attractiveness of the car can be proved by the rate of passers-by who turn their heads back. They are frequently photographed. I am afraid that many people subconsciously think that it is haunted by a certain star... They find a restaurant nearby and use delicious Xiaoyu''s good performance today was rewarded for lunch.


    Because she was bringing children, the style of the restaurant was obviously more lively and casual. Joanna found a three-story restaurant and had open-air meals in the sky garden on the third floor. You can look at the surrounding flowers and green grass, and you can also look at the surrounding buildings. There are no tall buildings around here.


    The little girl is also very proficient at serving the table. She knows how to behave. She will also say "thanks" to the waiter after ordering. Joanna smiled and said, "It looks a bit like when I was a child."


    "Thank you." Xiaoyu smiled, now she is taking her aunt as a role model.


    Joanna looked at her with her chin propped up: "It''s so cute, I also want to have such a child."


    "As long as you want." An Feng said.


    "I want a cousin?" Xiaoyu raised her head and said, this sentence is also in English, very fluent, but the vocabulary of foreigner relations is very simple, a "Cousin" is enough to sum up all the relations between cousins ??and tangs, anyway You can only guess about it.


    An Feng smiled and said, "It depends on your aunt''s opinion."


    Xiaoyu turned to look at Joanna, she smiled: "Give me some time."


    An Feng grabbed her hand: "You have plenty of time, don''t worry, dear."


    "I know." She nodded.


    The lunch atmosphere is good, two adults plus a child, an enviable warm family dinner.


    After the meal, there is an indispensable dessert link. The weather is hot, and the colorful ice cream is something that children cannot refuse. Even Joanna liked it very much. She put the small spoon into her mouth and took a sip affectionately. The red lips and white balm are very attractive. An Feng said, "Are you going to shoot an ice cream commercial?"


    "As long as someone is willing to sign me." She said with a smile.


    The crisp laughter caught the attention of several guests sitting next to him who had just sat down, and someone said, "Mr. An?"


    An Feng turned his head and saw two men and two women. The men were average, but the woman was pretty. She looked like a movie star. He wondered, "Who are you?"


    "I''m Norton, William Norton." The black-haired middle-aged man said, "We met last time at Roger''s party."


    "Are you the one who invested in the movie?" An Feng remembered a bit. The other party was an entertainment investor, such as movies and music. Luo Jie was very familiar with these people, but An Feng only had a little impression, so I can''t say how familiar , Seeing the other party stretch out his hand, he shook hands with him.


    "Yes, it''s me." Norton was very happy that An Feng remembered him, and then introduced three people around him, two actresses, and a well-known director.


    The environment of this restaurant is good, mainly in the Hollywood area, and there are occasional big names, especially this kind of restaurant, ordinary people can��t afford it, but it��s not a problem for celebrities, and it��s forbidden to take pictures. The privacy environment here is very good. So does Joanna choosing it.


    "Hi, everyone." An Feng greeted them.


    What''s even more strange is that the director named Strong reached out his hand enthusiastically: "Mr. An, it''s a pleasure to meet you, I like your racing car! I watched the four stations of the last MC challenge and participated in it on the spot. Your last stop, great performance, especially that drift!"


    "Wow!" An Feng smiled unexpectedly, and Joanna also smiled, the world is so wonderful.


    When Norton heard it, he had friendship! It''s an opportunity to make friends: "Strong has directed some movies with racing elements, and he himself likes racing very much."


    Strong said: "I like some drag racing scenes, which can make people feel adrenaline rush."


    An Feng said: "Racing is really exciting, and I look forward to your good movie."


    "This is my business card." Strong handed the business card to An Feng, and An Feng touched his body, but there was nothing.


    Strang smiled: "No need for Mr. An, we all know you."


    "Sorry." An Feng said.


    With Strong, a fan of Anfeng, the chat later was easy, and Norton also expressed his thoughts. He is very interested in stage performances recently��for high-tech aspects, it is holographic projection. The performance that brought Michael Jackson back to life a few years ago was amazing, and now the technology is more powerful, and he hopes to get technical support, especially after learning about things from Roger.


    An Feng is also interested: "I can ask GP to provide you with technical support, and I will also consider investment issues."


    There was a holographic film on the Queen''s cruise ship last time. Unfortunately, the technology is enough, but the plot can''t keep up. Obviously, a good screenwriter, a good director and excellent actors are needed. A storyline that the audience can engage with.


    Norton said: "It would be better if there is external investment. We are trying to make some holographic films of the new era. It may be relatively small at present, but I think it should be an evolutionary version of naked-eye 3D in the future, allowing people to appreciate it from different directions. A visual feast."


    "Very good idea." An Feng is also interested. The technical difficulty of shooting holographic movies is not too difficult. Of course, ordinary manufacturers can''t do it. They must have GP''s holographic technology and their flash memory technology. In addition, the camera is also a test. It is best It was with the help of Anshi Industries.


    Chatted with them for more than an hour. Although there was no business card, An Feng exchanged contact information with them, which was much more sincere than a business card. As long as the other party is creative and An Feng thinks it is suitable, he will provide financial assistance, not only for movies, but also for other stage forms.


    Final farewell, it''s getting late, I have to go home.


    An Feng naturally had to drive the car back to SLO. This kind of luxury car will not feel tired after driving for several hours. The front seats are wide and soft, ventilated and can massage. It can bring people a very calm and safe driving experience.


    There was not much fuel left, so An Feng drove to the gas station first.


    When I stopped to refuel, I happened to be able to see the super charging station that was being renovated next to it. It is said that this is the result of repeated discussions between several auto giants. They each funded the construction of super charging stations, using standard charging connectors, and all the electric vehicles they produce can use super charging stations.


    According to the plan, these charging stations will be expanded to various small and medium-sized cities across the United States within three years. Electric vehicles will no longer have to worry about running out of power, especially the super charging stations use high voltage and high current, combined with the characteristics of graphene batteries, it can Charges to 70% in five minutes.


    Fill up and get back on the road, electric cars are now common on California roads.


    While waiting for the green light, An Feng saw two Teslas, two BMW i-series, and pure electric vehicles from other manufacturers. At present, the price of electric vehicles is not low, and the cheapest model costs 50,000 US dollars, but with GP Energy''s strategic plan, lower-level electric vehicles will become popular sooner or later.


    It is also very easy to do, nothing more than reducing range and reducing performance. For example, it can normally run 600 kilometers, but now it is reduced to 350, and the charging time is slightly increased��many people don��t need to run that far, especially those who work in the city, and it��s just tens of kilometers to go back and forth a day.


    Joanna looked at the electric cars passing by: "The situation in New York is the same as that in Los Angeles. The sales of electric cars are very hot. The share of electric cars is expected to reach 10% this year, becoming a very fashionable and environmentally friendly way of travel. It is estimated that in ten years, there will be more people on the road. It will all be electric cars.��


    "Maybe it will be faster." An Feng said that the current oil reserves are getting less and less. Although the lack of gasoline has slowed down the consumption of oil, there is still a lot of consumption in other fields, such as aviation and machinery. , As oil prices rise, people will step into the pure electric camp sooner or later.


    She turned her head to look at An Feng, "You created this beautiful future, and I am proud of you."


    "Thank you." An Feng smiled.


    ��


    After returning home, the four cars in the morning have also been sent back.


    An Feng skipped his usual meal and went to clean the car. He experienced two sports cars, driving a section of the road down the mountain, the feeling of surging waves is very good, as a road sports car is very good. But for An Feng who has experienced pure racing, there is still a difference.


    Road supercars that pay attention to the rules are definitely not comparable to racing cars that are purely for the track. Each has its own merits, at least it is impossible for a racing car to drive on the road.


    He experienced the Rolls-Royce the next day.


    This guy is really top-notch luxury. The extended wheelbase version is called "Prince Class". Its rear row is spacious enough, and a large number of handmade products reflect the intention of custom culture. With the starry sky roof and red leather seats, you can see the starry sky built by more than 800 LED bulbs when you look up in the car.


    And there are valuable silver handle umbrellas with drying equipment inside the two doors, which can only be enjoyed by top luxury cars.


    After a little consideration, An Feng decided to add some content.


    The idea originated from Maserati��s first electric version of the ��President�� that the manufacturer delivered directly to him without going through a dealer. For the safety of VIPs, the car factory suggested strengthening safety equipment, such as bullet-proof glass��which was later extended to Graphene bulletproof glass technology.


    The current bulletproof car, the glass is very thick and heavy. If it is replaced with graphene, it can be thinner than ordinary glass, but it has a stronger effect than bulletproof glass. At present, only GP company in the world can do it, and the cost is also very high. , but for the rich, these are not obstacles.


    The next day, Anfeng asked GP to deliver the goods, Anshi Industry took over the glass for one-piece tailoring, and Maserati''s manufacturing department specially served the big boss and refitted the bulletproof car. The fee is naturally paid according to the standard. I am the big boss, but I can''t treat the working employees badly.


    In addition to the two presidents who needed bulletproof modification, An Feng also sent Rolls-Royce along the way.


    Once you''re done with that, move on to holography.


    GP has been promoting this technology for some time, and it is mostly used in stage performances at present, but it is actually used in movies, and the future is not clear, that is, cinemas that can project projections have to spend money to build. In addition to the images, realistic ones also need a background, which also requires high equipment.


    The best form is to have both 2D and holographic content, the former is to make money at the box office��although Hollywood movies are all at a loss. The latter is a fresh high-tech experience, and a small amount of laying is naturally no problem... A few days later, the other party had the same idea as him.


    They already have scripts, action movies, and there are scenes of drag racing on the way. The form is very commercial, and the investment is not low. 2D is the first to return the cost. The other holographic experience is just to test the water. There are many interested in this aspect, including Warner, 20th Century Fox and the like.


    There are also other investors. As a contributor to holographic technology, An Feng must have some dividends. After consideration by all parties, he can invest 10%, which is about 10 million US dollars. Hollywood''s dividend method is very complicated, and An Feng also I don''t care too much, he mainly depends on the effect.


    If the movie is popular and the holographic equipment is hot, this is the most profitable. Compared with the movie box office, there are more ups and downs. Everyone only sees successful commercial films, but on average, one or two out of ten films can be successful. Even big productions have suffered from Waterloo.


    Holographic equipment is a novel concept that can be customized as a luxury product, such as holographic environmental equipment, which can transform the rooms of the rich and create countless desired indoor environments, which can be summer, winter, outdoors, palaces... It is the focal point of the holographic environment.


    An Feng finally joined this commercial film with passion, tough guys and drag racing in the form of "investment plus technology".

 Chapter 353： rich handsome toy

    Chapter 353 Tall, rich and handsome toys


    A week later, An Feng sent his parents away.


    It��s quite boring for the elderly to tell the truth here, and there are not many people around who can talk. If they speak English, they can understand a sentence or two at most. , It is still quite difficult to communicate with foreigners.


    In China, they have a lot of activities and are more comfortable than here.


    If An Feng had a child or something, it would be interesting for them to come here, but unfortunately he just pushes and pushes. In the end, An Feng flew them to the airport, used the passport used to book the tickets to get the boarding pass, sent them to the security checkpoint, waved goodbye, and then turned back home.


    The house is very lively. Joanna is teaching Xiaoyu the basics of dance. She also learned some in China, and she mastered it quickly. Then there are some simple movements of ballroom dancing. Ballroom dancing is very popular in the West, and if you go to a ball or something, it would be embarrassing if you are invited and you can''t dance.


    My sister is talking with Joanna''s personal fitness trainer to agree on a fitness plan that suits her. This is very important for women who are over 30 and want to keep in shape, especially when they have money in their pockets. It is time to learn from the West People, focus on yourself.


    As for his brother-in-law, he talked on the phone and notebook for half an hour, and it was said that it was a domestic business or something. A group of South American servants in the winery are being trained by Brandon, and Wu Qian, who is the housekeeper, is also learning modestly. This is the orthodox British aristocratic style and is very knowledgeable.


    An Feng is very leisurely, wearing an exoskeleton and taking Xiaobai and Xiaohua for a run.


    Xiaobai fights with Xiaohua when he has nothing to do. According to the program set by An Feng, it also deals with Xiaobai according to the items. The high-end electric toys are very interesting, but there is no emotional communication in the whole process, which is a bit fake. An Feng sat and watched for a while, then told Xiao Bai to stop and check Xiao Hua.


    Mechanical means maintenance, especially if the flexibility is high.


    An Feng received sensor data through his portable computer, analyzed it, and decided to take it out tomorrow.


    As for Xiaobai who came over with his head, An Feng pushed it away: "Go away! You can just eat enough, what do you take care of?"


    As a result, Xiao Bai hugged his thigh the next day, but he still had no choice but to take it away.


    When I go out with An Feng, I can always meet all kinds of people. IQ is like a dog... In this case, it is a compliment, because the IQ of canines is generally higher than that of cats, except of course the Tibetan mastiff that can sink an aircraft carrier. Xiaobai formed a logical judgment on whether things are interesting or not.


    ��


    An Feng jumped off the plane, followed by Tiger and Leopard. If you add a pair of wolves, it will be a rampage of wolves and tigers.


    Some employees of An''s Industry are no strangers to tigers. In the past few months, various bionic machines have appeared frequently, such as the pug dog who wants to urinate and mark the territory everywhere. When committing two crimes, it can really confuse people.


    An Feng greeted the people he knew, and then went to the laboratory with 3D printers.


    He first conducts data testing, selects the CAD model of the printed part, and then directly prints the most suitable part on the target body through precise printing technology. Basically, he only needs to press a few times on the computer in the whole process, and the CNC machine tool is no more than that, and its The degree of intelligence is higher.


    The data test takes a long time, so he has to worry about other things.


    The superconductor company has found a way to mass-produce superconductors more than two months ago. With the full support of Anshi Industrial, the company''s high-tech factory has almost been established. It is expected that high-temperature superconductors will be put into production in the second half of the year. organization obtains.


    The emergence of high-temperature superconductors once again shocked the world.


    In recent years, there have been too many new technologies that have shocked the world. First, the growth of super fertilizers against the sky, and then the emergence of GP company. It was crowned as the "strongest technology company" by the world media in just a few years. IBM what Everyone can only sigh with emotion that the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead.


    Then there is another research center against the sky, the theory is equal to the conclusion, leaving people speechless.


    Here we come to high-temperature superconductors this time... Human beings are really numb. If people know that the key to creating all this is a certain person, I am afraid that not many people will believe it. An Feng is already restraining himself, and he can''t see much of his shadow in superconductor technology. The only thing that is related is investment.


    Now institutions all over the world have access to the samples of superconductor companies and are also verifying them.


    An Feng had a sample early, and he implemented his previous idea: put it in a cryogenic refrigerator and keep it at minus 15 degrees Celsius to achieve superconductivity. Then cut the material with a 3D printer and add structures, and finally make short-distance parallel guide rails to connect superconducting wires.


    After placing the superconductor in a low-temperature environment, turn on the power, and use the robotic hand to place a metal object between the guide rails. In a flash, the metal ball is pushed out by the invisible magnetic force at a high speed, and directly penetrates the two layers of composite board in front of it. However, the current used for emission is very small.


    An Feng took off the experimental goggles and observed the two layers of very thick composite plates. In the superconducting state, the small current has such an intensity. If it is a large current, or replace it with a fast-discharging capacitor, the speed will break through 10,000 meters per second. Problem��means the coming of the era of electromagnetic weapons.


    Traditional gunpowder weapons are already close to their limits. The rate of fire is generally 2 to 3 times the speed of sound, which is difficult to increase. Whether it is a gun or a tank gun, the muzzle velocity of 10,000 meters per second is a huge leap. If it is made into an individual rifle, it will produce recoil that ordinary soldiers cannot bear.


    An Feng thinks it is unrealistic to make a rifle, because it can only be used twice: one shot in the right arm, and another shot in the left arm... let''s call it a day and go to the hospital.


    But the purpose of his testing electromagnetic weapons is for robots.


    Electromagnetic weapons are very powerful, and can be large or small, as small as a temporary assembled concealed weapon, as large as a huge electromagnetic gun on a warship, or even a magnetic gun driven by nuclear energy in space. It is possible to launch tens of tons of shells. of. It''s versatile and inexpensive.


    After An Feng tested it several times, his thinking became clear.


    Because of some untested ideas in his head, he spent some time constructing graphics in front of the computer. Thanks to the person who edited the smart program in GP company, he can now use his limited artistic skills to construct a cool graphic, from the inside to the outside.


    It took some time to make it, and then color it, and the overall effect came out. Anfeng connected the 3D printer and chose the fastest speed��it was also the most expensive. With full power, after about an hour, the product was made. 80% of the finished products are 3D printing, and the rest are semi-finished products.


    An Feng took it out and took some time to assemble it.


    This is an electromagnetic rifle, about 70 centimeters long, with a more sci-fi shape. An Feng also drew the shape of some sci-fi games, and then designed the interior himself. Electromagnetic guns are simple, a parallel rail, wires connecting the rails, capacitors and magazines mounted on the end.


    The bullets in the magazine are different from the traditional ones. It has no cartridges and charges, but only pointed bullets. When the trigger is pressed and the power is turned on, the instantaneous energy of the capacitor will pass through the parallel guide rails, and at the same time drive the miniature bullet chain, and the bullets will The chain sends the warhead to the end of the rail, and the resulting magnetic force pushes the warhead out, achieving higher speeds than gunpowder weapons...in theory, just don''t know how it works in practice.


    An Feng immediately found a target to test.


    With his shoulder against the gun stock that was still metal powder an hour ago, he aimed at a metal box in front of him, and pressed the trigger, only to hear a strong current and the slight sound of metal bullets flying out, his body shook, the box flew out, An Feng put down the gun, Rub your shoulders and go check.


    "Excellent!" He looked at the suitcase he was wearing.


    This metal box is used to test the 3D printer. It was used by boring people to test the ability of the plasma beam, which is the technology transformed by the four geniuses last time. It turned out that it can easily create ultra-high-strength structural steel, but now it is used by An Feng. The electromagnetic gun came to a cool pair.


    The rails are not superconducting yet, and if they were superconducting, both the rails and the cables would have zero resistance, opting to let the capacitors discharge their energy in a few seconds would be a powerful individual weapon, but even now , The recoil force when using it is also great.


    An Feng continued to test the muzzle velocity.


    The average value of repeated tests shows that the speed of the bullet leaving the barrel is 4,000 meters per second. Compared with the sniper rifle that pursues high speed, the latter is generally 1,000 meters per second, while the rifle bullet is about 750 meters per second. In contrast, the speed of the electromagnetic gun is very terrifying.


    However, the recoil of the electromagnetic gun did not increase exponentially... An Feng understood that the firing of a gunpowder weapon is instantaneous kinetic energy, while the electromagnetic gun at least has parallel guide rails that are constantly accelerating, sharing the energy and not adding it to him in an instant. bearable.


    After testing several times, An Feng confirmed that he had copied the electromagnetic weapon in the science fiction game.


    Like the last time the geniuses played with Star Wars lightsabers.


    It��s just that the price is too expensive. Just starting the machine and the expensive raw materials consumed just now, tens of thousands of dollars are gone... This kind of thing that you can play if you want to play, and you want to have something right away, usually only the rich and handsome can afford it. An Feng disassembled the gun afterwards, and planned to melt it with high-temperature plasma.


    He doesn''t plan to promote lethal weapons. Such a high unit price is not affordable for everyone, and he doesn''t like the current appearance. It has to be redesigned, preferably modular, and get a few to take home as souvenirs. It might come in handy when something is urgent.


    Seeing that there was still a lot of time, An Feng searched for some cool gun materials on the Internet. There are many models of electromagnetic guns in movies or games. Some are purely eye-catching and inconvenient to use in practice. Modularity is also hard to do.


    An Feng still found a suitable one. The gun is 65cm long and very compact. It can be divided into three main parts: the barrel, the battery block, and the butt. The structure of the electromagnetic gun is simple, and there is no need to worry about bullet ejection, muzzle flames, shooting airflow, etc. Basically, the gun is fired when it is powered on.


    So its modularization is very simple. Among the three-stage models, the most expensive one is the battery module, which is specially supplied by GP Energy. The cost is estimated to be 30,000. If it is on the market, it will not be able to earn back 50,000. As for the barrel, An Feng originally wanted to use a superconductor, but the superconductor had to be refrigerated, which would increase the weight and recoil, making it unrealistic for a single person to use, but in the end it was still suitable.


    While waiting for the production, An Feng went to touch other techniques.


    There are many interesting things in the laboratory, such as the modified exoskeleton worn by An Feng, with a high-energy battery pack on his back, and then flip out the plasma launcher. High-voltage cables can also be connected to exoskeleton batteries.


    Connecting to the battery of the exoskeleton means that the lightsaber can be carried with you.


    An Feng connected the cable of the "light saber" to the battery pack. Although it is not as light as in the movie, it is still connected to the wire, but it is already very flexible. The high-energy battery is enough to maintain the plasma jet for an hour. Flexible, it is very exciting to play lightsaber with the lights off.


    After he destroyed two targets, a table, and almost burned the printer, the electromagnetic gun was built.


    Anfeng assembled and disassembled it several times, and it can be completed in six to seven seconds. It shoots immediately when it is powered on. The accuracy is not outstanding, but due to the fast initial speed, the distance of 300 meters is completed in 0.1 seconds, even considering gravity and wind speed. The impact of the 300-meter bullet is also infinitely close to a straight line.


    So it is within a short distance, and the accuracy can easily beat the sniper rifle a few streets.


    In the end, he specially built a special box for the gun, which can put the segmented electromagnetic gun and lightsaber inside... For now, the United States lacks laws on the management of electromagnetic weapons. In theory, An Feng can carry it out blatantly. But it''s better to keep a low profile.


    Before the legal ban is introduced, he can seize the time to make more than a dozen more, matching the lightsaber. When the U.S. government says that electromagnetic rifles and Star Wars weapons cannot be privately owned...he will make money. Laws generally target groups after promulgation, while those that existed before are difficult to restrain.

 Chapter 354： avatar

    Chapter 354 Virtual Character


    After sorting out the toys, the printing of the parts of the mechanical leopard is also completed.


    Take it and Xiaobai on the plane and return home in the afternoon. The next day I was thinking about the research and development of superconductors, and then I went to the company, and this time I came back to my office, sitting on the boss chair and operating the computer. Soon, light and shadow gathered in front of him into a three-dimensional projection of a middle-aged man.


    An Feng leaned on the seat and propped his chin to watch the holographic projection.


    The armrest of the seat is also the operating area. With a few taps on it, the holographic character will adjust accordingly. An Feng turns on the wall screen, and the snow-white wall instantly becomes a display. The smart operating system remembers An Feng''s last habit to open the character library for him.


    An Feng is selecting suitable character materials.


    Obviously, he is creating a virtual character. The middle-aged man in front of him, a guy with a bit of a scholar''s air, does not exist in reality. An Feng collects materials on the Internet, adds up the characteristics of various characters, and then the super The computer refines the details for him to get the current result.


    An Feng spent forty-five hours intermittently designing the characters.


    It seems a little inappropriate, as a character who can''t show up, but can only appear as a hologram... Obviously he is older, and the best explanation is the inconvenience of legs and feet, but it can''t stop a smart head. An Feng aged the character by touching the button.


    After changing from middle age to old age, it is indeed a lot more appropriate.


    But I still feel that something is missing... An Feng pondered: "Oh! Add a pair of glasses!"


    He tapped his fingers a few times to search for the glasses in the material library. After opening the items, there were not many entries, but according to An Feng''s browsing needs, the smart computer immediately started the background network download, and it would search for pictures related to glasses on the Internet. , constantly expanding the material library.


    In a few seconds, there are tens of thousands of materials.


    An Feng chose a black-frame reading glasses full of scholarly atmosphere, let the computer construct holographic graphics, and then add them to the characters after rendering.


    An Feng''s voice was very lazy: "The details of the face are displayed."


    When the voice falls, the computer zooms in on the face of the character to show the details. An Feng scratched his chin, and then removed a little bit of the character''s hair, leaving some baldness on the forehead, which proves that he usually uses his brains and is full of creativity... In order not to disgust himself, the character is not completely bald.


    Go back to the whole body, choose a medium body shape, slightly stooped, and match him with a few sets of commonly used clothes. The white lab coat with a nameplate on the chest is very classic, while for other occasions... a black suit and tie, old-fashioned and old-fashioned, just right Old guy from the fifties.


    Staring at the video, An Feng felt that it was memorable enough.


    "Record voice input." An Feng said to the air, the program was ready to record his voice, he picked up the miniature microphone, said a few phrases, the computer collected them, and he adjusted the voice change to make the target''s voice a bit deep and old, and then A bit of a regional accent.


    After finishing, the target repeats An Feng''s voice just now.


    It sounded like an old man from Texas who could speak Spanish, and it was impossible to tell that the voice came from An Feng.


    "Personality habits?" An Feng considered the last point, "Look for it from the movie database."


    The computer screened several types, and the character is defined as a scientist with a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, perseverance... These characters tend to become the classic villains in American individual heroism movies: Dr. ** wearing a monocle, his eyes will turn when he conducts anti-human research. shine...


    "Haha!" An Feng laughed as a spoof, but it fit the image quite well.


    In the end, according to the ideas and questions he listed, he played a serious guest role as an announcer, and input ideas about superconductors by voice, including superconducting motors, superconducting wires, superconducting magnetic fluids, and very far-sighted controllable thermonuclear reactions.


    After speaking, start to repeat the role.


    The old man from Texas, a mad scientist, is now repeating word for word with his unique accent. The theory and steps are very detailed, and An Feng also deleted some endings and idiomatic words, which are his own habits, not the youthful attitude that "Mr. L" should have.


    It is absolutely impossible for Mr. L to say hello like a "yo-man" like a black man.


    An Feng''s name for the avatar is very simple - whatever you want. In addition to Mr. L, he is also constructing Ms. M, a female biologist, who is dedicated to cell biology and genetics, while Mr. L specializes in work related to superconductors, has double doctorates, and lives in seclusion.


    Since the holographic technology, An Feng has been making virtual people, recording teaching voices, and converting them into their results. Of course, rigid content is definitely not acceptable. If necessary, An Feng can appear in any of these avatars and conduct remote training. educate.


    Learning experience, not being able to appear is definitely a physical inconvenience. He decided that Ms. M would simply sit in a wheelchair. She is not American. She has to speak...Spanish and simple English, but she often speaks Spanish. The status is a special overseas employee of the company, living in Spain.


    An Feng''s Spanish is still very good. There are many Spanish-speaking people in southern California. He often hears people speaking Spanish when walking on the streets of Los Angeles. In addition, he has a good memory, so he is naturally familiar with it. This sentence, virtualized into a female voice, sounds pretty good.


    Ms. M is only a preliminary positioning, and Anfeng is currently focusing on perfecting Mr. L''s.


    Since he decided not to be an all-round scientist, these virtual humans will take his place. When there is advanced intelligence or artificial intelligence in the future, he doesn''t even need to fight himself, and intelligence will take care of everything. It''s quite far away, and the GP company''s gang is still studying and experimenting.


    Will the virtual people be exposed... An Feng thought about it when he created them. He specially read the books on computer network technology, and also humbly asked the senior technicians of GP company for advice. After consolidating the foundation, add the technology in his head, Secrecy is still in place.


    After saving Mr. L, An Feng went home.


    In the future, in the study at home, he can also use the created avatar, and go back to complete the rest.


    ��


    Bill Cook is the project leader of the R&D department of the superconductor company. Since the high-temperature superconductor raised the critical temperature to minus 15 degrees Celsius, it has completely shocked the world. He was recruited at that time. The previous breakthroughs were ready to receive the Nobel Prize, and the rest continued.


    Those who develop superconductors do not necessarily know how to apply superconductors commercially. Like the fabrication of superconducting generators, this is more inclined towards industrial operation. Cook is also committed to the research and development of superconductors, focusing on the application of superconductors. If the previous company could not keep up, he would change jobs to get better.


    Cook is mainly engaged in superconducting generators, thermonuclear industry and nuclear power generation.


    Superconducting generators are smaller in size and higher in power generation. The whole world needs them. Superconducting lines also have broad prospects, ranging from long-distance power transmission to small precision circuits, such as computers. The company currently has many R&D groups, all of whom are hurrying to develop technologies.


    Obviously, what superconductor companies want to develop is not only to provide superconductor raw materials, but to improve the one-stop business of superconductors and become a real world technology giant��just like GP, graphene makes them known as the world''s number one high-tech Group, attracting much attention.


    Superconductor is also expected to reach the heights of GP.


    Today is normal working hours, everyone is still hurrying, because once the results are produced, they will be rewarded by the company, which is linked to sales performance, and doing well means wealth and a better life, but today the R&D minister asked everyone Go to the holographic conference room.


    After being notified, Cook went to the meeting room with others.


    Minister announced in advance that the company''s high-tech company hired domain experts and asked each R&D team to cooperate with the experts'' ideas and concepts and do what he said.


    There was an uproar in the audience, and everyone resisted the company''s decision. Why did the management think they couldn''t do it?


    The minister knew this a long time ago. He said: "The company''s reward amount will still not be reduced for the results you have obtained according to the guidance or cooperation."


    The mood of the masses has disappeared, but in fact, everyone is worried about getting a share of the pie.


    Superconductors have shocked the world incomparably. Every R&D personnel who can enter a superconductor company is exhausted and tried every means. Because mass production of high-temperature superconductors is realized, it means that success is close at hand.


    You only need to work hard and take one step forward, it is success.


    Under this kind of guarantee, everyone began to look forward to what kind of experts the company hired. Many people here are highly educated, with a lot of Ph.D.s and double Ph.D.s, and even have achieved little success. The experts hired by the company must convince them to cooperate.


    The holographic generator flickered, light and shadow converged, and an old guy in a white lab coat with a stooped body appeared.


    He was wearing a pair of outdated black-frame reading glasses, and his hair was slightly bald. He glanced at everyone without even saying hello, and started to talk about the manufacture of superconducting technology. Everyone despised him in his heart. What kind of expert is this? But soon, he skipped the basics in a few sentences and talked about superconducting generators.


    This is exactly what Cook is good at. He listened with great doubts, but soon, he found that he couldn''t keep up, and the other party''s theories sounded smooth, and they seemed to be correct, and they were well resolved. He explained some of his previous questions, but unfortunately, he didn''t speak carefully enough.


    He hasn''t been able to savor it carefully, the superconducting power generation technology is over.


    Then there are other projects, Cook observes, the faces of other people are shocked, the silence of the audience proves that the code-named "Mr. Quickly use mobile phone recording.


    In just twenty minutes or so, all the arrogant people were conquered.


    It��s just that the speed was too fast, and I couldn��t fully understand it. Someone raised his hand and asked Mr. L to say it again, but this time the tone was very polite. It was exactly the same as when he carefully handed over the thesis to the tutor and asked for inspection...Mr. L drank a cup of coffee , looked at them very leisurely.


    While far away in SLO, An Feng watched in real time in the office.


    Mr. L spoke a little faster, and they didn''t understand right away. Someone raised his hand in the back, and he switched Mr. L to his side. An Feng answered in the image of Mr. L, and explained that it was just a video, and they can read more relevant content according to the security level.


    These companies all use the intelligent security system developed by GP. Higher-level users can access more content, while lower-level users can only access less important ones. Usually, background checks are required to increase the level, and the credit score must be high. Of course, the length of the contract also affects A reason for the level.


    After Mr. L finished speaking, the meeting was adjourned if there was nothing to do.


    Cook recollected the content just now, and immediately went to use his level to check it. Fortunately, what Mr. L just said was recorded, and he could review it countless times. After that, he felt that something was closer to him, and after a few more days of work, he probably could come to a conclusion.

 Chapter 355： Manor recent situation

    Chapter 355 Recent Status of the Manor


    An Feng is happy to see the development of the superconductor company. According to the provisions of the contract, employees use the company''s technology, and the research and development results belong to the company. They enjoy a certain percentage of share, depending on the degree of difficulty and the market. Although there will be a little profit, at least he doesn''t have to worry about it.


    He continued to build a full set of tall, rich and handsome toys, from exoskeletons to holographic masks to plasma lightsabers and electromagnetic guns. Just any metal.


    A few days later, An Feng received a call from the construction party.


    This construction party is naturally the construction party of the mansion in Santa Barbara. It has been almost three years since the construction, and it passed in the blink of an eye. He has seen it several times on the way. Places such as building interiors are time consuming.


    Now the construction party tells him that the total progress has reached 85%, but there is a problem that needs to be decided by him.


    After An Feng understood the situation, he contacted the chief designer.


    Teresa studied architectural design in Europe. Joanna favored English gardens and Baroque architecture at the beginning, and brought her a lot of income. Currently, she is in charge of the overall style, but due to the large total area, different There are more than a dozen designers for the details.


    Teresa and An Feng talked about the problem of the road to the beach, and hoped that An Feng would see it on the spot before making a decision.


    After hanging up the phone, Joanna asked, "What''s wrong?"


    An Feng simply said: "The construction is on the side of the sea. Originally, it was to build a small road, but the designer wanted to use the beach below. They have checked that the sea water on the coast is very shallow, and the coastline of more than one kilometer does not want to be wasted. They plan to widen the road. able to drive down."


    "I thought about it too." Joanna said, "It''s just that the height difference is more than 30 meters, isn''t it difficult to construct?"


    "They have a solution, ask your opinion now, or shall we go and see tomorrow?"


    "Go and see tomorrow." Joanna said with great anticipation, "Now you can consider asking the housekeeper and servants to get familiar with the environment there, and let the housekeeper arrange the details and plan the use of each place. If you wait until the official delivery It must be a rush to get used to it.��


    "That''s true." An Feng said, Joanna has experience in this point.


    ��


    All the servants and bodyguards set off in the morning of the next day. In addition to the male and female housekeepers, there were also seven servants hired, and five of them were all from South America, rushing for high salaries. As a high-quality service required by a top butler, the conditions are harsh, but the treatment is much higher than other places.


    An Feng didn''t choose a plane. He drove out the convertible Phantom. He always felt that at this age, driving this kind of car fit the theme very well.


    "What do you think?" An Feng asked.


    "No impetuosity." Joanna was straightening his collar, "I like such a man."


    "Okay." An Feng smiled.


    Although the handling of this kind of big car is average, it is very imposing to drive. The excellent suspension performance allows it to pass through obstacles as if walking on the ground, and the occupants do not feel the bumps. During the journey, you can also stretch your limbs comfortably and eliminate fatigue.


    Blown by the Pacific sea breeze, the coast of California is very cool, only the Midwest is very hot, and its special geography makes it livable. Traveling in this weather today, open the hood to welcome the sun and the ocean, drive on the mountain road, and experience the sea and sky scenery on both sides. Wonderful and endless.


    It has been almost three years since the construction of their luxury house started. According to the original estimate, it will be delivered in five years at the latest, and it will be completed in four years. Now 85% of the content is completed, and the next step is the artistic processing link, which pays attention to slow work and delivery Careful work, the pursuit of speed is not good enough.


    When An Feng arrived by car, the exterior had been completely new.


    It used to be a deserted park, bare and lifeless, but now there are lawns and green trees on both sides of the road. When you drive on a private road, you will see a row of blue and white painted fences that spread to both sides. There is a stone carving at each distance, which is very artistic.


    The door was closed tightly, and when the convoy approached, the staff came to open the door.


    Passing through the gate is a well-trimmed lawn, 200 meters long and 100 meters wide. There are no trees around to block the view, so that visitors can have a clear view of the main building. A row of magnificent Baroque buildings stands proudly Gold and ivory glistened in the sun for all to see, and in the center was a broad brick walkway lined with flowerpots and twigs.


    The carriageway is located on the left and right sides, presenting two circular arcs.


    According to driving habits, the right-hand side is the entrance, drive forward, and make a half-circle to the front of the building. A fountain has been built, and the sculpture stands, but there is no water. Parking in front of the main entrance, a brown-haired lady in business attire stands by the steps, she is the designer.


    After the phantom stopped, Teresa opened the door for Joanna. An Feng got out of the car, went up to shake hands with her: "This time I brought a lot of people."


    Teresa smiled: "I will arrange someone else to be the tour guide."


    An Feng said: "They are here to familiarize themselves with the environment, there is no need to prepare anything specially, the housekeeper will arrange it."


    Teresa looked at the old butler who got out of the car, the housekeeper, servants, and bodyguards who were in charge of commanding. The situation is not small, but it is also in line with An Feng''s identity. As a man who is willing to spend a lot of money to build a palace-style manor mansion, it is unreasonable not to have any pomp.


    The butler Brandon was very satisfied with the environment, so he started sightseeing and familiarized himself with the environment.


    An Feng and Joanna stepped into the building.


    Teresa introduced them and led them in to appreciate the unfinished luxury.


    Whether it is the ground, walls or the ceiling above the head, the use of color and decoration is very appropriate, and some details, such as the stair handrail sculpture and the stone carving beside the backyard door, are also very thoughtful designs, some of which have been suggested by architects Purchase existing.


    Teresa introduced this: "We pursue every detail, use precious materials, and construct carefully."


    Teresa put her heart and soul into this building. From her introduction of every aspect and detail, it can be seen that some are easy to overlook, while others are just right embellishments. An Feng has been satisfied.


    The viewing effect of the first floor is very good, but the head is raised frequently, and the neck is a little sore.


    Because the sculptures and ceiling paintings are at high places, the first floor is at least six or seven meters high, and you need to raise your head frequently.


    "This is the front hall, which can be used for receptions, dances, or other forms of group activities." Teresa introduced a spacious hall.


    "It fits the theme very well." Joanna was very satisfied.


    There are restaurants, study rooms, and reception areas around, all of which follow the tall, spacious, and resplendent style. Walking from one side of the building to the other, it is more than 100 meters long, and all you can appreciate are the owner''s strong financial resources and pursuit of perfection. The state of mind of enjoyment is sinking.


    After watching the first floor, go back to the center of the living room and go up to the second floor from the stairs here. The stairs are also similar to the style of the main gate. They are curved and can go up from both sides, like a pair of brackets. In the middle is the door leading to the back garden. The gate It is currently under construction and cannot be passed at the moment.


    The second floor is a bit shorter than the first floor, and the feeling of grandeur and emptiness has slowed down, but the luxury and splendor still exist. It is designed with eight rooms, each with its own characteristics and decoration, which are currently being renovated. The first floor was even more chaotic, with various materials and packaging everywhere.


    After taking a few glances, I went downstairs to the back garden.


    The well-built grassland is spliced ??into various patterns. It has a typical English garden, a spectacular artificial lake, Chinese-style pavilions on the lake, and a variety of regional styles. Classicism, romanticism...exotic The sentiment sublimates the theme again.


    An Feng feels that he can only be described as "perfect".


    Walking on the green lawn, in addition to the open green space and the lake, there are transplanted trees all around, each of which grows neatly and straightly, and the lush branches and leaves block the prying eyes of the outside world, protecting the entire perfect living area. In line with Regal''s protection of privacy.


    After walking for more than ten minutes, I came to the edge of the coast.


    Teresa explained: "We plan to dig a road from here, build two stone steps next to it, install handrails around it, plant some evergreen plants, spread all the way down to the beach, and then artificially fill part of the beach to expand it area."


    An Feng looked at the coastline, blue sea and blue sky, chasing waves, and felt that this beautiful scenery should not be wasted. After a few discussions with Joanna, they were very happy to start working in their way. Teresa also said that it will perfectly fit the theme of the manor and be unique.


    An Feng said: "It seems that the lady is more enthusiastic about designing it than us."


    Joanna smiled: "We didn''t think of so many details."


    Teresa said: "The designer regards everything he has designed as a brainchild. I hope that it will be recognized by Mr. Ma''am and more people than anyone else. It is an honor for me. The estate is obviously going to last for many years."


    "You will definitely be famous for it." An Feng said.


    "Thank you, sir," she said.


    ��


    An Feng is very satisfied with the design of the manor, that is, after the original main building has been reduced, the actual feeling is still huge. The main building is more than 100 meters long and more than ten meters high, but it is only two floors. After luxury, it is very appropriate to describe it as a replica of a palace.


    I have seen many classic manors and the butler Brandon who has taken care of them personally, and he is also praised. It is indeed a perfect play of western architectural style in modern times, coupled with exotic embellishments, it has an unexpected effect, that is, the area is too large , Three hundred acres, seven people are not enough.


    Brandon said: "I estimate that it takes five people to manage the garden and daily cleaning, plus other people who are responsible for food and daily life, it will have to double."


    "You can try to find as long as it suits you." An Feng said to him.


    Brandon said: "In addition, I hope to come here to familiarize myself with and arrange the environment when Mr. and Mrs. are not at home. What do you think?"


    "Of course, it''s up to you to decide." An Feng nodded. It''s good to have a considerate butler, and he doesn''t have to think about anything else.


    According to the construction progress, it should be delivered within one year.


    An Feng and Joanna strolled around the manor, and finally sat down on a bench by the artificial lake. The lake was calm, surrounded by flowers and green grass, full of vitality. Brandon brought a well-prepared meal from the winery , and then took out the red wine for dinner from the low-temperature wine cabinet in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce.


    On the grass, the maid spreads cushions, places food, and pours red wine. Joanna said: "Picnics were also a very elegant royal social event in Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. The courtyard where the meal was eaten, the occasion and the servants who served were very particular. Usually, only the manor has the atmosphere."


    An Feng raised his wine glass and touched her: "It''s just that there are not enough people."


    "After it''s built, we can invite family and friends to have a picnic." She smiled.


    "It makes sense." An Feng said, "Looking forward to that day."

 Chapter 356： collector

    Chapter 356 Collector


    The tour of the manor is completed, but it is too large, and you can only take a rough tour in a day.


    Back to the vineyard, dinner preparation begins. An Feng took the time to bathe the tiger. In the past two days, the bear child and his parents went on a self-driving tour. They went south to Los Angeles and San Diego. There are many things to do, and they will not be able to return for a while. It is rare for Xiaobai not to be harassed by the little bug chance of disturbance.


    An Feng pulled up his sleeves high, covered Xiaobai''s body with soap bubbles, and scratched it seriously. Xiaobai squinted his eyes to enjoy it, and then connected to the faucet, ready to give it a rinse. Joanna came out with An Feng''s mobile phone in her hand: "Honey, there is a call from China."


    Joanna put the phone to his ear, An Feng directed water at Xiao Bai, and said, "Hello?"


    "Are you free now?" Xiang Yang''s voice came.


    "I''m bathing the tiger, what''s the matter?" An Feng washed the bubbles off his hands, and Brandon asked a maid to get a towel.


    Wu Qian is learning by the side, and Brandon''s details are reflected in every part.


    "Bathing a tiger? This kind of thing can only happen to you." Xiang Yang said with a smile.


    An Feng took the maid''s towel to wipe his hands, and gave it back to her, then took the mobile phone in Joanna''s hand, and she took An Feng''s water pipe, and played with Xiaobai. An Feng stayed away from them, walked to the side and talked on the phone: "Is it something about the store, has it been settled?"


    Since Nokia''s global sales, it has no problem to enter China. As An Feng, who has internal channels, he can naturally seize the opportunity. Before the direct sales store was officially established, they began to look for stores in major cities. Theme decoration.


    "It''s almost done, when do you think you''ll be free to come back and sign the contract?" Xiang Yang asked.


    An Feng thought for a while: "About the end of August, I''ll drop by. If you lack funds, I can transfer the money first."


    Xiang Yang said: "It''s not about the money, I''m just afraid that you, the nobleman, forget things too much and don''t remember this. We have finished the decoration, and we are still in a daze without knowing the share!"


    An Feng smiled: "No matter how forgetful I am, I can''t forget my old classmates. Don''t worry, I will definitely pass by the end of August, and my niece has to go back to China. And that kid Wang Le, I don''t know where. When I find him, everyone will go there together and sign as soon as possible."


    It is very necessary for An Feng to go back and drop by the Xiongzi family to attend the opening ceremony of the new school. In addition, he has to take advantage of the start of the game to go to the UK. Liverpool''s boss has not been seen for nearly a year. Can be so irresponsible, I am afraid that this is the only family.


    Last season, Liverpool ranked third in points. There is still a little gap from An Feng''s hope for the immediate championship. This year Liverpool spent another 70 million pounds to buy players, and they have been very proud since changing the boss.


    Anyway, God knows whether the investment can be recovered, once entering the Premier League is like a sea.


    After arguing with Xiang Yang for about ten minutes, An Feng said with a smile: "Okay, I guess your phone bill is about to run out, so let''s talk about it when we have something to go back."


    After hanging up the phone, An Feng rarely thought about the matter of Berg Company.


    Recently they are considering a stake in Nokia - in this case Nokia in Finland. Berg intends to hold Nokia. If not, they will extend the time for brand authorization with Nokia, because there is not much time left to transfer from Microsoft.


    According to the original intention of An Feng to engage in mobile phone picture names and defraud money, it is a bit "outdated" now, because Nokia is really popular. Of course, the brand''s nostalgia and Microsoft''s patent green light have helped a lot, but as it stands, it can do better.


    An Feng considers the idea of ??major shareholders cashing out, which is feasible, but there is not enough time. The outside world is very concerned about the timing of the brand authorization of Berg Company. Will magnify, investors are not fools.


    Berg Company has to extend the time now, or simply acquire Nokia to achieve full control, and allow it to operate independently in order to take care of the mood of the group. Just like the Fiat Group holding Ferrari, Ferrari is operated independently, and Fiat will not interfere.


    Whether it is extension or holding, as long as the time is settled, fame and money will be preserved. Joanna will be listed as an outstanding youth because of her great contribution, and because of the increase in the company''s value, she will be able to draw more cash... until the company''s High-tech advantages disappear.


    Nokia''s technological advantages will disappear because GP Electronics has conflicts with Burger. If only Nokia technology is given, the value of Berger will increase, but it will reduce the sales of microchips and graphene screens; and expand the sales of these two, It will affect the value of Berg company.


    The balance point here is hard to find.


    Moreover, An Feng is still a little negative. He believes that mobile phones will be replaced sooner or later. After three or four generations of popularity, they will decline. Then promote the holographic and light-sensitive touch technology that GP will realize in the future. This is also the reason why there was no communication development at the beginning. But now it''s messed up.


    Not only is Anfeng''s vision limited, but even the senior management of GP company is wrong. They think that the battery industry and chips are absolutely dominant and monopolistic, and the mobile phone industry is not optimistic about it. Now they have come up with a magic weapon to stop bullets. The whole world is on fire.


    This was also dug up by sensitive media, calling it a major mistake of GP company, but no one thought that GP company was busy expanding at the time, borrowing billions of dollars, how could it have spare funds to engage in weak projects? If the company were to start from scratch, there would be no spare cash at that time, and it would not be in line with An Feng''s pursuit of fame and fortune and the idea of ??defrauding money.


    Fortunately, it doesn''t matter to the Texas consortium, whether it is GP or Berger, they control it.


    ��


    An Feng answered the phone the next day, and Brian from RM called again. This year''s Monterey auction was very lively, and there were many highlights. Participate in the auction. Two major heavyweights have attracted much attention.


    An Feng will definitely participate in the auction. It is customary to bring out some of his own collections this year. This time, he chose Lamborghini, but there are not many collections. The valuable ones are Reventon and the Sixth Element. Then he will also send Countach-5000-Qv to the exhibition. The theme is naturally classic.


    This black Countach is from the 1987 model. An Feng only bought it for 250,000 US dollars. You can already see Lamborghini''s style on it��scissor doors, wedge-shaped body and a huge engine compartment at the rear. The classic image has lasted for more than 30 years and has been affecting the present.


    It��s just that the value of the model is not very stable. A few decades ago, it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Calculated according to the inflation rate, 250,000 dollars is not much to earn. Collectible cars still have to be legendary models, especially the value of Ferrari. Its value has been rising, and the brand has a unique charm.


    When it was time for the exhibition, the two cars were loaded and sent away, and An Feng drove one of them himself.


    In order to fit the theme of the exhibition, he chose a convertible car, and the Lamborghini Reventon became the target. This car is relatively rare. There are only two types of closed top and convertible in the early 40s. There are very few people in the world who can own it. Lamborghini The car is relatively cheap.


    It��s not too old yet. The 2008 model has GPS navigation and high-fidelity audio. It��s still very futuristic. The central control instrument panel has a full LCD display, and the display interface is transplanted into a fighter jet. When the roar of the engine comes from behind, it makes people feel full of driving Desire, but drive it with care.


    This car crashed, but it is really over, there is no repair. Although the body of the carbon fiber car is hard, if it exceeds the limit, it will damage the whole body in order to protect the safety of the driver. This rare sports car in the world will have to be reduced by one, and other collectors will definitely celebrate with champagne.


    Before departure, An Feng changed into a long-sleeve shirt and jeans, which fit the car and gave people a serious feeling. Of course, it was mainly because Joanna felt that it matched her today''s dress...the last is the truth. The car is still in the garage, **** out, with California plates on the rear.


    It is worth mentioning that the DMV (Department of Vehicles) in the United States is very user-friendly. It can apply for no front license plate for some special cars, but there are also non-special ones to apply for no front license plate��such as Tesla��s model -s car model. It is very easy to apply for a company like Anfeng.


    Because of the shape of the front face, there is no suitable place for a license plate in front of it, and you have to drill a few holes into the carbon fiber body, which is too extravagant. In the end, it only hangs the rear license plate and is legal to go on the road. Anfeng usually chooses the convertible model, and the submarine gray makes the sports car full of futuristic sense.


    But in addition to the handsome appearance, the ride is actually not comfortable. The non-adjustable racing seats are hard. If you speed up and then try to overtake, the wife who looks in the mirror in the co-pilot will not let you sleep on the sofa tonight. That is true love. So Anfeng chooses the most comfortable mode to open.


    ��


    Arrive in Monterey, Pebble Beach Stadium is full of people coming and going, very lively.


    The activity has been started for several days, until today is the theme of the auto show, there will be classic cars, as well as modern cars that steal the limelight of classic cars. It''s like the sports car driven by An Feng, from approaching to slowly advancing with other sports cars, all the way is focused by the camera lens.


    Naturally, they are going into battle with big sunglasses, so let��s take pictures of others.


    The appearance of a rare artifact also successfully took away the limelight of other big money. For example, the rare Aston Martin one-77 next to it was ignored by no one, and the Bugatti Supersport following behind was also ignored by many people. Keep your eyes on the rarest and most handsome ones first.


    Even if its performance is not very good, but the shape is everything... This world depends on the face.


    An Feng drove the car from the main road to the lawn according to the road signs. Under the reminder of the staff and the camera lens, he showed off his quality as a racing driver. Without hesitation, he accurately parked the car in the exhibition area. , right next to his other two Lamborghinis.


    Push up the coolest Lamborghini scissor doors to get off the car, and then help his lady who is dressed up today like she is going to a cocktail dance to get out of the car.


    The crowd of onlookers here increased significantly.


    After An Feng satisfies the request of the cameraman who knows him to take a photo, he takes Joanna away.


    There are seats reserved in a themed restaurant and bar nearby. Duke and Howard are also there. We sit together and chat about auto shows and auctions. Afterwards, the driver Cooper also came to the scene. He heard from Duke that he would come to help Duke win the classic car competition medal.


    An Feng asked: "What model?"


    Duke said: "Ferrari ''53 375-MM-Spider."


    "Excellent." An Feng said, "Are you interested in changing hands?"


    "Hey, stop!" Duke said with a smile, "It''s my favorite collection, I know you''re a collector, but don''t pay attention to it."


    "It''s not the first time I''ve heard this sentence." An Feng said that many collectors say that collections are the most precious, and they were not sent to auction in the end.


    "This is different. After the race, it is the champion car, and its value doubles." Duke said.


    An Feng understands, here is the little abacus!


    An Feng has a lot of money recently. Just like Joanna likes to collect all kinds of handbags, wallets and high-heeled shoes, he also likes to collect sports cars. Chatted with them about some races, and then turned to Cooper. When it comes to future arrangements, An Feng is more concerned because he is a shareholder of the GP team.


    Recently, Cooper has signed a three-year contract with the GP team and is preparing to compete in the competition.


    Cooper said some insider information: "At present, Maserati and GP are discussing with FIA, preparing to start a brand new E-GT global race, which is similar to the MC Challenge, with high horsepower and high speed, but has many requirements for big manufacturers. Models are provided by several fixed manufacturers in pursuit of greater fairness."


    Duke proposed: "To learn the advantages of NASCAR, the models and technologies are provided by several manufacturers, which reduces the cost of research and development, and makes the winning or losing factors of the race more concentrated on the driver. You also know that NASCAR''s investment is far less than that of F1. , but the income of the top drivers is not much different, because the research and development expenses of the team are not much, the profit is far higher than that of F1, and more can be distributed to the drivers, so that the race can last for a long time."


    "This is the key point that needs to be considered." An Feng knows that it is great for big manufacturers to spend money to win the championship, but it will dampen the enthusiasm of small teams and become a stage for businesses to burn money. They are happy, but it will hurt the whole team. The game will also make the audience no longer like the obviously unfair game.


    Duke continued: "But electric car racing requires technological content, and a good balance must be controlled here."


    Since the MC Challenge made Maserati and electric racing cars famous all over the world, the FIA ??is ready to welcome electric car racing. Currently, Maserati, Ferrari and Audi jointly promote E-GT. They will provide models and important electric motor technology. The event may also be divided grade.


    In order to cope with different competitions, Maserati��s headquarters is developing flagship models. The legendary LaMaserati may appear, but according to internal information, after separating from Fiat, it is unlikely that Maserati will use Ferrari��s flagship chassis. It should be a brand new model.

 Chapter 357： release date

    Chapter 357 release date


    An Feng naturally agrees with the plan to have a flagship model.


    He loves the house, not to mention that it was his idea to acquire Maserati in the first place. In a sense, he is the boss, and he naturally hopes that the company''s brands can go long. Competition banner.


    Maserati wants to use electric vehicles to establish a new brand image. It has to be like a "horse and bull". There are corresponding competing models. Ferrari has 458, Lamborghini has Huracan, Ferrari has F12, and Lamborghini has Aventador. That''s the case with Maserati''s current GT-MC.


    Cars, competitions, and discussions about Maserati''s new flagship. Originally, Duke and the others wanted to get some inside information from An Feng, but he didn''t know much. When I went back in the afternoon, I chatted with Bruno on the phone, and he admitted that Maserati was developing a flagship.


    An Feng''s gossip came, asking about the name, structure, motivation and so on.


    Bruno did not hide: "The plan is to design a mid-engine supercar, the body follows the aerodynamic shape, and the power is expected to be around 1100 horsepower, aiming at Ferrari''s new flagship F80, the name may be called Esplosione, Italian for ''hurricane'' the meaning of."


    It turns out that it is not really called "La Maserati" in the legend. It seems that after the separation, the close cooperation cannot be maintained. An Feng thinks that the name Esplosione is very good��at least it is much better than Maserati''s previous name. To be honest, Italians are lazy.


    It��s like the Chinese translation of the ��President�� model. Its Italian is ��Quattroporte��, which means ��four doors��. Then Maserati has a concept SUV called ��Cinqueporte��. It looks very tall, right? Actually it means "five gates".


    Catch Minger China''s independent car companies also give the new car a "three-door" to try, and guarantee to be sprayed to death.


    So the name of the new car is good, Bruno also broke the news that the new car may not be able to do wind tunnel tests-this is only Ferrari, but they have separated. However, An Feng thinks it can be borrowed, and Fiat has to ask GP Energy for the battery! Otherwise, it will be cut off due to insufficient production capacity next year.


    But there is also good news, they can��t use wind tunnels, but they have ��Ares��, which is a big killer. It uses supercomputers for aerodynamic research and development, and uses computer fluid mechanics technology to simulate more comprehensive and extreme conditions. Wind speed, high-speed body changes.


    The current top F1 teams, except for the wind tunnel, are using computers to simulate.


    Maserati can use supercomputers, which will greatly shorten the development time. Angler Industries will also develop electric motors for them, which may use superconductor technology. Bruno hopes that the Esplosione model can have 1100 horsepower, which means that the two electric motors must be very strong.


    An Feng was a little suspicious: "Dual motors in the middle? Are you sure you can squeeze out so much horsepower?"


    Bruno said: "We have also considered the idea of ??an FE racing car, installing an electric motor on each wheel, and the combination of four motors has a stronger horsepower, but FE is a formula, and its shape can be very streamlined. If it is used in a civilian sports car, we Poor control of front-to-rear weight ratio, brakes and aerodynamic shape issues."


    An Feng thought about it. If the four wheels are equipped with motors, the horsepower is indeed not small. Civilian cars or large transport vehicles can be considered for use, but sports cars pursue speed. Although the horsepower is large, the shape is not easy to coordinate, at least it cannot be like an equation. , appearance is compromised for performance.


    I''m afraid there is still a long way to go.


    An Feng said: "I will ask the company to help in the research and development of these aspects."


    Maserati is now covered by GP, Angus Industries and Superconductor, and the conditions are even better than before.


    Bruno was very happy after receiving An Feng''s affirmative answer. He knew that An Feng was not an ordinary shareholder. According to this person''s behavior, he has a very large weight in GP company, and almost no one can stop him from doing what he wants. Now There is also superconductor company''s strong material to help out, which is naturally strong enough.


    After finishing the call with An Feng, Bruno contacted the Italian headquarters. He attached great importance to An Feng''s attitude, and the headquarters also agreed that part of the design of the new model should be carried out in California. There are royal race tracks, supercomputers, and high-tech industries. Conditions are actually better.


    ��


    An Feng also waited until the day of the Monterey auction.


    This time his target is two weight models, Ferrari 250GT-California, McLaren F1-GTR-97, the starting price is very high, Ferrari��s starting price is 8.5 million US dollars, McLaren��s starting price is 5.5 million US dollars, and the popularity is also very high , there are private collectors and businesses present.


    But no matter what, as long as someone sends it to the auction booth, it is almost An Feng''s.


    There are also Rolls-Royce models for auction, including the classic Gintama. Unfortunately, An Feng only likes old classic sports cars and does not like classic cars that fall apart quickly. This time he simply took the long wheelbase 250GT-California at 9.3 million , and the McLaren racing car was also settled for $6.1 million.


    This 250GT is a long-wheelbase convertible. According to the traffic laws of the United States, as long as it can still move and stop, it is allowed to be listed on the road, and there is no such thing as scrapping. So An Feng can also go for a drive in the future, but it is estimated that he will not bear it, more than 9 million US dollars!


    ��


    At the end of August, An Feng set off for China.


    Wang Le, who couldn''t be contacted before, is already in China and is participating in the construction of the authorized store, which is quite caring. Anyway, it doesn''t matter to Anfeng, it''s selling from franchised stores to consumers, and selling in batches to authorized stores is also selling. The latter has a market and can help an old friend, which is the best of both worlds.


    The cabin of the Global 8000 is as comfortable as ever, and the space to move around relieves the fatigue of flying. After the plane landed at S City International Airport, the bear child was still alive and well. Of course, she has been consuming snacks and refreshments on the plane, and now her belly is full.


    "Mom, I can''t walk..." Xiaoyu grabbed her mother''s clothes and fell behind.


    Sister sighed: "Let you eat again!"


    In the end, the bear child was taken away sitting on a trolley case... It was getting late, and after a day of rest in the hotel, they flew back to the south tomorrow. An Fengde and his brother-in-law stayed in City S and signed the agreement. By the way, they took a look at the Nokia directly-operated store in City S to appreciate the grand occasion of simultaneous global sales.


    Because of Anfeng''s idea, the value of mobile phones lies in market value rather than profit, so it is a good idea to take advantage of the opportunity to speculate. Although the first mobile phone has just been launched, Berg is already considering listing... Now the second model is released, it is The low-end version forms a high-low configuration.


    Berg held press conferences in Europe and North America in August, showing off the second artifact, which is positioned lower than the R series. In terms of configuration, the function of smashing walnuts has not been pulled down. Ever since Ans Industries sold them the regular version After the 3D printer, the fuselage is easy.


    The chip performance of the integrated CPU and GPU is reduced accordingly, and the battery life is also reduced. You can''t let the low-end ones compete with the high-end ones. Considering the surprise for the first time, the press conference focused on the operating system, which is more complete and easier to use this time.


    ��


    The next day, Xiongzi and her mother went back first, and the rest of the team joined up.


    Four friends arrived and chose a restaurant to eat and chat while talking about some problems with mobile phones and the company, etc.


    Xiang Yang, who is in charge of the company, said: "Let''s register a company first, and we can find an agent quickly. The share ratio will be in accordance with our previous negotiation, and then the company will reach an agreement with Berg Company to obtain the authorization, and then we will let each city''s authorization The store opened and opened."


    "Succinct enough." An Feng applauded, "Have you considered my company''s work?"


    Wu Chao hurriedly shouted to stop: "You big capitalist has already kidnapped our brother Le to the United States, now is the opportunity to make a fortune, so don''t kidnap us to the boss!"


    An Feng was unmoved: "The salary is easy to talk about..."


    Xiang Yang said with a smile: "Thank you, but let''s talk about the serious business first. Besides, I''m dragging my family along. It''s not easy to leave even if I want to."


    An Feng smiled: "Okay, continue."


    Xiang Yang said: "It''s really gone, the plan is all in my head, but I don''t know how to describe it."


    Wang Le said: "As long as you know how to do it, we shareholders are just waiting for the meat to be eaten, and let you do everything else."


    An Feng nodded: "I agree."


    According to the agreement, An Feng''s family has 40% of the shares, Wang Le has 30%, Xiang Yang has 25%, Wu Chao has 5%, and because of the preferential treatment of Berg Company, in addition to direct stores in the Chinese market, authorized stores Growth has slowed temporarily, giving them time to prioritize development.


    ��


    The next day, they went to the first directly-operated store in S city together to see the release date.


    If it is correct, it will start business this morning and release the second mobile phone. At present, there are already fans waiting in line at the door. Some are young people, but some are a little older. Xiang Yang took a few glances and said, "These are old fans of Nokia, they came from the black and white screen."


    An Feng looked at the line with folding chairs, and was surprised: "I didn''t expect that there would be a queue to buy kidney machines at the entrance of the directly-operated store."


    Wang Le is not surprised: "Didn''t you watch it in New York last time? The scene on the release day in New York is the real horror. There are tents set up in the evening in advance. Before entering the Chinese market, there are people in China who go to foreign countries to queue up to buy , and was investigated by the customs for a lot of human flesh smuggling.��


    Xiang Yang, who was very concerned about the matter, also said: "At that time, there was a lot of noise on the Internet, saying that our country had no mobile phones or something. As a result, the power of word-of-mouth **** everything, and Nokia had many potential fans. In fact, China really didn''t have such powerful phones, so Looking forward to more."


    While they were talking, the directly-operated store officially opened.


    There were cameras and cameras on the scene to record the grand occasion, and the clerks wearing the global unified employee uniforms started to work. The first lucky person who bought the walnut-smashing artifact came out with a happy smile on his face, and showed the exquisite packaging box in his hand to the camera. , with a smug face.


    The people who were waiting next to him also watched enviously.


    And a dramatic scene happened, this buddy was about to say "I''m very excited" to the camera, and with a shake of his hand, he threw the much-anticipated artifact directly to the ground, causing the crowd to burst into laughter. However, Nokia has withstood the test. A fall of this scale...Next time, it will be on the sixth floor!


    An Feng smiled and said, "Isn''t this a babysitter?"


    "You are the nurse!" The buddy who made a false alarm carefully checked his artifact.


    Several friends looked at An Feng and laughed too.


    The grand occasion of the release day is also staged in various places, including foreign countries, but it is not as popular as the release of the first model. Even now, people��s priority for buying is still the R series that is so powerful that no friends can throw away the computer. . This one is out of stock.

 Chapter 358： Tuhaos school

    Chapter 358 The Tyrant''s School


    S city stayed for half a day to handle the contract and money properly, and went to work after the work was done.


    An Feng returned to the provincial capital and chartered a car to D City.


    The car stops at the hotel first, and the accompanying bodyguards are arranged. An Feng is now used to having bodyguards every time he goes out, so he can feel at ease with extra protection. He has a lot of security or privacy that he doesn''t pay attention to, and the bodyguards can prevent him. But in this ordinary city, bodyguards are of little use.


    An Feng gave them a vacation, and took Joanna back to the neighborhood where her brother-in-law lived. In the evening, my parents and my cousin Anhui came. My sister cooked and prepared a table of dishes. After the meal, I sat down on the sofa and put cut fruits on the coffee table. The topic revolved around Anfeng and his wife.


    That is to say, An Hui talked a lot. After a while, he talked about the whole thing: "The school will start the day after tomorrow. The honorary principal and the chairman of the foundation, please attend on time."


    "Sister, let''s talk properly, don''t be cute." An Feng said.


    "What do children know?" An Hui smiled and ate grapes from the fruit plate.


    An Feng really didn''t understand, but his sister was very cooperative and said: "He is pretending to be tender, and he is going to let the little boy feel the charm of a little girl."


    "What?" An Feng almost choked, and quickly swallowed his saliva, "An Hui, you actually found a boyfriend!"


    "Why so loud!" An Hui looked at him.


    "Sorry." An Feng smiled, "Okay, congratulations! But can you let me know who captured the heart of Miss An?"


    Before An Hui could say anything, her sister continued to break the news: "It''s not from the school. I recruited a group of teachers at the beginning, and then went abroad for research. She was followed by a young man who had just graduated a few years ago. I heard that he was gentle, careful and handsome. No matter how cold the ice cube is during the journey, it will melt."


    An Hui said at this time: "Stop talking nonsense, what a mess of a young man, we have known each other for a long time, and we used to leave contact information with him when we were volunteers, but I was busy with work later, so I forgot. It��s really fate to meet again.��


    After hearing a few words, An Feng wondered what the real person who took her would look like. He said that his second uncle was already in a hurry, and almost reduced to the point that as long as the other party was three-legged and could marry him... the day after tomorrow, An Feng brought Qiao Anna, driven by her brother-in-law, set off for the county seat.


    The county seat is under the jurisdiction of city D, and it is very close. Since the new road was repaired, it took 20 minutes to drive to get it done. I chatted on the road and learned that the school occupies a large area, the land in the county seat is cheap, and there are international friendships. The government feels that it has a bright face, so it is very generous to allocate land.


    The school was not listed under An Feng''s name, which was fine, but An Feng himself heard something weird behind him, so he changed its name to "Bruce International Friendship School". After entering the school gate, there is a memorial wall, which introduces the nature of the school and the funding of the school. Anfeng and Elizabeth Foundation.


    Today is the first day of school. The children are already in the classroom, and there are some parents around. It seems that everyone is very curious about the new school. After An Hui got off the bus, she began to show them around, introducing: "Currently the school only has the elementary school, with a total of 300 students. We have absorbed the advantages of the West and adopted a small class system, with a maximum of 20 students in a class. The class environment is more free. There is a lot of time, and there are extra interest classes, so that students can learn something they like, such as calligraphy, painting or musical instruments."


    An Hui took the lead and walked in front, An Feng and Joanna followed behind to watch. They didn''t make a big report on their arrival, and they didn''t let the students line up to welcome them. Anyway, what should they do normally, and what they are doing now, at most, the principal and an assistant accompanied Visit and introduce the details of the school.


    "Every classroom is different." An Hui introduced at the right time.


    The classroom is very spacious, with cartoon pictures on the walls and lockers at the back of the classroom where students�� personal belongings can be placed. The blackboard An Feng used to use when he was a child has long since disappeared, replaced by a bright whiteboard for writing, which avoids the hazards of chalk dust. Clean and environmentally friendly.


    A female teacher is giving a lecture on the stage, and there are children who are full of curiosity about all this sitting under the stage. The female teacher uses the multimedia platform to project the content on the computer through the projector. Now with the Internet, it is obviously more convenient.


    It is very similar to foreign elementary school classrooms. It uses vivid objects to stimulate children''s interest. The layout of each class is different, full of novelty and lively atmosphere, and suitable for age groups. The teacher only needs to be responsible for a dozen students, the teaching task is easy, and it is easier to take care of every student.


    An Feng asked: "Do the students who come here live far away? Or go back at noon?"


    An Hui said: "It''s not far from the center of the county, and the traffic is very convenient. Usually, parents or the school bus will pick you up, and you will stay overnight at noon. There will be a special life teacher to take care of you, as well as food and safety education. After school at 4 p.m., free interest class four You can leave school after half past."


    "Not bad." An Feng said.


    Brother-in-law also said: "Seeing it makes people interested in revisiting elementary school."


    In areas other than the teaching building, there are basketball courts and sports fields, as well as indoor sports fields. The conditions are very good, but the number of students is a bit small. For newly established schools, most families with good conditions send their children to public schools, while This private school is unknown.


    In terms of teaching conditions alone, there is no school within a radius of hundreds of kilometers comparable to the local tyrant school that Anfeng spent money to build and the foundation fully supports. Most of the teachers are young, but they can accept new things. The education system has been reformed in recent years, and they may be the pioneers.


    After shopping around, she found a bench and sat down. An Hui said, "At present, there are not enough people, with an average of less than three classes per grade. Some parents decided to let their children come after visiting the school. Now the educational environment is different, and public schools are the first choice.��


    An Feng did not have much lofty ambitions. He said: "It is impossible to change everyone, but I am satisfied with changing the future of some people, even if it is a dozen or so. What''s more, private schools are not necessarily bad. It��s a private school, it��s a noble school.��


    Anhui said: "So we strictly maintain the established framework. The small class system has advantages and cannot be destroyed."


    An Feng asked: "Is there a problem with the funds?"


    An Hui said: "There is no problem in this regard. The Chinese branch has a lot of education funds. In addition to supporting the construction of this school, we also funded the construction of teaching buildings in ten Hope Primary Schools, helping more than 50 college students. There is still a special fund. A lot more can be done.��


    Since the foundation established a branch in Hong Kong, Anhui has also been transferred to the council, not only in charge of the school, but also responsible for part of the foundation''s operations. Of course, she has to be responsible to the school directors formed by the council. Will face the end of firing squid.


    "There will be more charitable funds in the future." An Feng said that although he was planning to build a school just to clear his name, and he was not a professional philanthropist, and part of the purpose was to avoid taxes, but at least it brought hope to others. There is a beginning and an end, sow it and wait for it to bear fruit.


    ��


    After the first class in the morning, we ushered in the flag-raising ceremony on Monday.


    The students gathered in front of the flag-raising platform. The size of 300 people was a bit pitiful. The huge team of teachers was in stark contrast. Outsiders felt that this school was about to close down. The difference was that everyone from the principal to the teachers was very confident because of the support Fang is really not short of money.


    An Feng, the honorary principal, and Joanna, the chairman of the foundation, also attended the scene. They stood in front of the teaching team, and journalists also came to the scene. I heard that it was from the city''s TV station, and they were very impressed with the school''s "international teaching" concept. Curious and want to record something.


    Although An Feng is not high-profile, and his net worth of tens of billions of dollars is not top-notch even in China, he is considered a very rich type of person. Now he invests in domestic education, and in an ordinary county, he has created a private aristocratic school in a big city. That''s sure to be good news stuff.


    When the flag-raising march was played, everyone��s eyes turned to the teaching staff frequently. Obviously, they were curious about the foreign ladies present. Joanna was strict when she attended formal occasions. Naturally, she also paid attention to the matching of clothing, jewelry and hats, dignified and fashionable.


    After the ceremony, An Hui, who was wearing a professional dress, took the stage to speak, and she didn''t need a speech script. Instead of the previous long-winded speeches on the stage and the audience''s drowsiness, she just said a few words of congratulations on the start of the school, and then introduced the honorary principal and the teacher in front of the team. Chairman of the Foundation.


    The scene applauded, An Feng also waved, and then the principal announced the dismissal of the students.


    This efficiency...it took less than a minute to get on the stage and they broke up, but it was also in line with An Hui''s temperament, simple and direct, it''s useless for you to tell elementary school students those messy things, even middle school students, they don''t necessarily listen to you, Zuo Erjin It''s just the right ear, so it''s better to follow the public opinion.


    The teaching team stays in the local area, the principal still has something to say to the teaching team, and the TV station also wants to interview.


    Anhui''s words are also simple. The school''s teaching philosophy is very novel, and it also cooperates with the domestic reform of the college entrance examination, and then further reforms the concept of education.


    TV stations also began recording news.


    An Hui said solemnly: "All of us, including me, are responsible to the school director. Once we make major mistakes, we will deal with them strictly. Education is a sacred thing, and it is related to the future of many people. I hope you will treat it with a rigorous attitude. , caring for our future."


    Followed by someone interviewing An Feng and his wife.


    An Feng also gave face, said some aid issues, thanked the local government for its cooperation, and let the leaders of the Education Bureau also have honor. A reporter asked Joanna about the foundation: "Excuse me, ma''am, can you introduce us to the Elizabeth Foundation that sponsors schools?"


    Joanna said: "It is a private charitable foundation. It currently has branches in England, the United States and China. Its main purpose is to help children and education, and to pursue women''s equal rights. For China''s education, we will continue to provide help."


    The reporter also asked about funding the school and hoping for its development. Joanna��s answer was very concise and affirmative. She said that she would provide free help in many ways. Listening to her pure English, combined with the novel educational concept, I feel that it is very classy with international results.


    After the news was broadcast, some parents who were planning to find a school or were dissatisfied with the school were also interested. They learned about it from the Internet and field trips. It is certain that the school environment is good, but it is not good for the super rich to spend money? The small class system feels good, and the popularity has gradually increased in the next few years.

    ��


    After the interview, An Feng asked his brother-in-law to take him to gossip.


    An Hui, who was about to die, finally became a little shy, and pulled An Feng and refused to let him go. The reason in his mouth was that he was disturbing other people''s classes. An Feng smiled: "I just went to have a look at the head office. ? At least let me see He Fangsheng is so powerful and has such a skill."


    In the end, An Hui naturally failed to stop An Feng. The brother-in-law asked the assistant for the location of Teacher Ma Tao. Coincidentally, they happened to be in class, so they rushed to the class they were in, the fifth grade, who taught Chinese. Several people struggled in the inner corridor and finally found the right place.


    Looks pretty good, gentle and elegant, with a very magnetic voice, he will call out any troublemakers in the audience, he uses a very humorous way to mobilize the enthusiasm of the students, the appearance is also good, young women of the right age will be tempted after seeing it , An Feng turned around and said, "How old are you?"


    "Why do you ask this?" She pouted.


    "Can''t you care about you?" An Feng looked at the people on the podium, "If you don''t say it, I will ask it myself later."


    "Okay, twenty-seven." An Hui convinced him, "Are you satisfied?"


    "You are quite young." An Feng said, "If it is true love, I wish you all the best."


    An Hui leaned against the wall and said, "Thank you. Others are always talking about that. Either they think there is a purpose or the age gap of seven or eight years is not suitable, but how can there be so many purposes? It''s just a rediscovery of fate many years ago. What is there to do for an ordinary worker."


    "Age is not a problem. See how harmonious Joanna and I are." An Feng said, the bell rang for the end of get out of class, and the children listened to the young teacher''s last words with great interest, before resuming the noisy scene. He also packed up his things and walked out, bumping into a few people by the back door.


    Ma Tao came over generously: "Hello, sir and madam, Principal An!"


    An Feng said very seriously: "I said, Mr. Ma, your title is a bit unclear. You are usually called ''Principal An''..."


    "Let''s go!" An Hui hurriedly pulled him away. Joanna looked at them with a smile, and turned to Ma Tao and said, "You must be my sister''s boyfriend, right?"


    Ma Tao suddenly felt a little shy: "Yes."


    "She is a very careful person and very caring, bless you all." Joanna said.


    "Thank you." Ma Tao said.


    "I didn''t make you nervous, did I?" Joanna looked at him.


    "No, ma''am." Ma Tao said, but his face was already flushed, and he didn''t know if it was because of his boyfriend and girlfriend, or because he was at a loss in front of such a tall and beautiful foreign girl, or because of the group of hairy children beside him. The reason is quietly onlookers.


    "Okay, Mr. Shy, see you next time!" Joanna smiled and waved to him, then turned and followed the shouting people in front.


    ��


    Visit activities last until noon before nap.


    An Feng is very satisfied. Although the school may not be able to change the current situation, it is an attempt, and the next best thing is to be able to educate children to be human beings, which is also a merit. Education is not a day and night, there is no hope for ten or eight years, but An Feng is very confident and rich.


    An Feng��s money to buy a classic sports car is probably enough to run the school for several years, and he has a heavy tax burden, and he can get tax deductions for donating to the foundation, which is a win-win situation. This year he still plans to continue to donate a few hundred million to the foundation. There is nothing to do with too much money.


    After the end, return to the city and continue to stay in Anfeng for a few days according to the itinerary.


    At the request of his brother-in-law, he also visited the brand-new store. The decoration is quite good and the business is good. He feels that he is quite talented in this line of work. But An Feng has always cared about the shortage and allowed it to develop. In his eyes, those profits have to be divided by six, and he doesn''t think it''s much.


    The Q5 that drove away her brother-in-law when she had nothing to do, and drove Joanna around.


    To be honest, apart from her impressions of Chinese cities, she has never seen many other villages or suburban scenic spots. An Feng took her to visit, and after shopping around, she continued to go north to the provincial capital to find some treasures... This is Affected by the old man who has nothing to do in the community, it is said that the old man found a treasure at the flower and bird market in the city: a beautiful blue and white porcelain bowl. As soon as he fooled around, the foreign girl was full of yearning for treasure hunting.


    Anyway, it''s just shopping, and there are many rare things in the flower and bird market, so An Feng will accompany her to go shopping.


    Drive to the provincial capital, take the airport expressway, when you are approaching, you encounter an accident ahead, the traffic police reminds you to turn off the expressway at the exit of the expressway, An Feng follows the car in front of you to get off the expressway, and continue to follow the GPS shortcut, the road is a bit dilapidated, so drive for a while , saw a trailer stuck in front of the road, and several people around were checking the condition of the rear wheels. An Feng also saw a colorful modified car on the trailer.


    At this time, there were no cars passing by around, so they waved for help when An Feng passed by.


    An Feng rolled down the car window: "What''s going on?"


    A short-haired man in his thirties said: "It''s all broken roads! Just avoid a hole and you''ll get stuck on the side of the road. Can you help me drag it up?"


    "Can my car be towed?" An Feng said.


    "It should be possible. The trailer can also start normally, and an external force is needed." The other party said, looking at the two people wearing sunglasses in the car, "Hey, is this foreign girl your wife?"


    "Haha, that''s right." An Feng smiled.


    The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Glory for the country, buddy! I always see those women looking for a foreigner, but I don''t see a few men who are capable. You are really good!"


    "Thank you!" An Feng looked at the car on the trailer, "Is this a racing car?"


    The middle-aged man said: "The modified track car is going to a nearby racing track. Now time is tight. The driver has arrived, and our car is still halfway."


    "Okay, do you have a tow rope?" An Feng asked.


    The middle-aged man is very straightforward: "No problem, we have it here!"


    An Feng drove to the front, hooked up the tow rope, and started the two cars. The middle-aged man was in front of the command, and it took a few minutes to drag the trailer out of the roadside pit. The middle-aged man came over to give him a cigarette, An Feng smiled and shook his head to refuse, but asked, "Is there a new racing track near here?"


    "It has been built in the past few years, and you are interested in some domestic competitions, brother?" asked the middle-aged man.


    "I would like to take a look." An Feng said.


    The middle-aged man said without hesitation: "No problem, we will take you in. Today there is a team to practice. They are very professional. We also have masters here."


    An Feng turned to look at Joanna, she said, "You decide, I''m not in a hurry."


    Finally, An Feng drove them to the racing track not far from here. The entrance was still the XX International Circuit, which was quite arrogant, but when he entered, there was only an ordinary track, an off-road track, and a few simple spectator stands. The track is new and the asphalt is clean.


    After parking, those people were unloading the racing car. It was a blue Chevrolet Cruze covered with sponsor advertisements. modified racing car. An Feng took off his sunglasses and took a closer look.


    "What level of field competition?" An Feng asked.


    "1600cc." The middle-aged man turned his head and was stunned for a moment, then looked at the foreign girl beside him, then looked at An Feng, and asked doubtfully, "You just came from a foreign country?"


    "Yes, do you have any questions?" An Feng was surprised.


    "Are you Ann, the driver of the electric car?" the middle-aged man asked.


    "Hey." Joanna smiled and touched him with her arm, "You are really famous."


    An Feng smiled: "It''s me."


    "It''s a pleasure to meet you! My name is Shang Xiong, an amateur engineer." Shang Xiong came over and reached out to him.


    "An Feng. Of course it''s also called Bruce." An Feng shook hands with him.


    "I didn''t expect to see you here." Shang Xiong said happily, "We all watched the broadcast of the Maserati race. Your driving skills are top-notch!"


    "Thank you for your support." An Feng smiled.


    When the team members heard this, they all stopped what they were doing. Coincidentally, although the scale of the first electric touring car race is not large, it has attracted a lot of attention. Racing fans or drivers can watch the live broadcast of the race on the Internet, and there are also some in China. As a result, everyone remembered him through the race.


    When real people appear thousands of miles away, surprises are inevitable.


    Everyone was admiring in their tone, and asked him how it felt to drive an electric racing car. Unable to hold back his enthusiasm, An Feng talked about some of them with huge differences, but someone shouted, and other teams around him gathered around, wanting to see Take a look at the rumored top drivers.


    After talking for about ten minutes, the field practice started, and the crowd dispersed. Shang Xiong invited him to see the performance of the team. An Feng also had the intention, but when the driver appeared, it was a boy who was a little immature. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he gathered around An Feng to listen to his experiences just now.


    "He''s the driver?" An Feng asked in surprise. At that time, he thought someone''s child didn''t go to school.


    Shang Xiong smiled: "Yes, his name is Zhou Hang. He is the main force of the team. He is almost nineteen this year. Regardless of his young age, he is very talented in racing."


    As he said that, Shang Xiong yelled at Zhou Hang who was about to get in the car: "Behave well, the master will give you advice today!"


    Zhou Hang nodded and got into the car.


    "Where shall we sit?" Shang Xiong pointed to the auditorium.


    An Feng supported Joanna to walk a section of the dirt road, came to the auditorium and sat down.


    Practice also started. Zhou Hang''s blue Chevrolet drove onto the track proficiently. Since it was a practice race, a car was dispatched every 30 seconds to avoid racing drivers and to practice freely. The blue Chevrolet was so skilled it hadn''t even occurred to him that the driver who was driving the vehicle was eighteen.


    Chevrolet ran a few laps and then drove into the pits. There seemed to be something wrong with the car, and the technicians were adjusting it. Practice is usually the time to check the faults of the racing car. You are not afraid of faults, but you are afraid that you will not be able to detect them. Problems will only occur during the real race, and that is the worst luck.


    Shang Xiong took people to the maintenance station, and An Feng also went to have a look.


    "What''s going on?" Shang Xiong asked.


    Zhou Hang, who took off his helmet, said: "It seems to be the air cooling pipe of the brake disc, and the brake disc is overheated."


    The maintenance personnel opened the hood. Professional racers will modify the ventilation grille, connect a few ventilation pipes, and connect the other end to the brake disc, so that when the car is running at high speed, more cold air will blow to the brake disc to cool down. This may be the problem now and needs to be repaired.


    A careful staff brought a folding chair to Joanna. She must be uncomfortable standing in high heels.


    The others were busy around the racing car, An Feng was watching with his arms folded, Zhou Hang was also at the side, but he was very quiet, he didn''t seem to like to talk, after a while, he turned to look at An Feng, An Feng also met his gaze Seeing that he didn''t speak, An Feng said, "When did you practice driving?"


    "Fifteen years old." Zhou Hang said. It really is shy, someone has to speak first.


    "Fifteen years old? I used to ride a motorcycle on mountain roads." An Feng said.


    Zhou Hang smiled: "I can do it at the age of fourteen, and I can touch four wheels at the age of fifteen."


    "You are better than me!" An Feng laughed.

 Chapter 360： racing fund

    Chapter 360 Racing Fund


    When he met someone who had the same hobbies and could be an idol, Zhou Hang talked a lot, talking about his experience with cars. His family owns a car repair shop, and he has been exposed to these machines since he was a child. He was able to repair cars at the age of fourteen or five. He drove a car around in the factory yard, and then became obsessed with the car out of control. Before he turned eighteen, he practiced on the road in the suburbs with no one. After taking the driver''s license, he was on the right track.


    An Feng learned that Zhou Hang quit high school after graduating from high school and joined a small team, but he didn''t really get to race. Later, he met Shangxiong. It happened that there was a driver injury in the team, and Zhou Hang was talented. , preparing for the regional sprint.


    The path that Zhou Hang chose to take is opposed by most parents in China, who think it is absurd and not doing a proper job. I am afraid that the only way to go is to study and go to a good university. But Zhou Hang''s family is very open-minded... After a few beatings didn''t work, they let him go racing when he couldn''t read.


    An Feng knows that the domestic racing environment is not very good, with few spectators, few venues, and lack of professionalism. Talented people like Zhou Hang, in addition to relying on hard work, also value luck in China. It��s not that there are no excellent drivers, but Their talents are often buried by the environment.


    An Feng asked him: "What do you think you lack the most?"


    Zhou Hang thought for a while and replied: "Practice the venue and parts of the racing car. We usually don''t have many opportunities to come to the regular racing track to practice, and there are not enough spare parts for the racing car. We can only use it carefully, and we can''t let it be scrapped in advance. Inventory, things will be miserable."


    "Don''t prepare more parts?" An Feng knew the reason as soon as he said it. It must be a matter of money. Who wouldn''t go to a chartered track for training if they have money? Who wouldn''t buy a large number of spare parts for the racers to use at will without worrying about the lack of backup resources?


    Zhou Hang shrugged: "We are a small team with limited sponsorship, so we can''t consume so much."


    An Feng wanted to say something else, but the car had been overhauled. Zhou Hang put on his helmet again and got on the car to start off. Everyone was also discussing about the car in the pit stop. An Feng asked: "Apart from short-distance races, are you planning to participate in other larger-scale races?"


    "There is not enough time." Shangxiong said, "We all get together because of hobbies, but racing cars can''t support us. Many people have to go to work after participating in the race. The team currently has no funds to participate in bigger events. Zhou Hang''s talent is really a pity."


    An Feng understands that this team is struggling to survive, and there are not many organizations in China that are interested in them and will sponsor them. Now, he hopes that Zhou Hang will win a good ranking, attract sponsors, or have the opportunity to be seen by other teams. , to participate in more advanced events.


    After Zhou Hang ran a few laps, they started to count the data. Joanna looked at An Feng: "Do you want to go up and try?"


    "I''m not familiar with these." An Feng said that he rarely drives small-displacement RVs, and whether it''s a gasoline car or an electric car at home, they all have high power.


    Shang Xiong said: "Racing cars can also learn by analogy, how about showing us a hand?"


    "I''m afraid I can''t compare with these drivers." An Feng said.


    Shang Xiong said with a smile: "It doesn''t matter, let everyone see what it is like to drive a car with a top electric racing driver, and it will open our eyes."


    An Feng smiled... In the end, respect is worse than obedience.


    He chose Zhou Hang''s racing car, sat in and got familiar with the operation. The seat is not suitable because it is adjusted according to the driver''s body. An Feng is tall and strong, but it is not a big problem for a few laps. The steering wheel is very simple. It is a three-spoke type with anti-slip treatment. The gear lever is very high and is flush with the steering wheel. To change gears, you only need to move your right hand in parallel.


    After getting acquainted with it, other teams also vacated the track to run a few laps for An Feng.


    The first lap is the familiarization stage, the second lap is a little faster, the third lap is full of excitement, the fourth lap everyone runs to a high place to start video recording on their mobile phones, the fifth lap is stunned, the sixth lap is completely convinced, and there is nothing to say Say. The boundary between electric vehicles and gasoline vehicles is not big, the main thing is whether the driver can adapt to the operation.


    After finishing the sixth lap, An Feng returned to the maintenance station and stopped, and everyone surrounded him.


    Shang Xiong said in amazement: "You have broken the track record, and you are two seconds faster."


    An Feng returned the helmet he took off to them, and said modestly: "Maybe the track is relatively simple, it''s easy to run, but I''m not used to manual transmission yet."


    The eyes of the people around were as if they had seen a monster, full of disbelief.


    "Is this the top driver?" Someone asked himself, and instantly felt that there was still a big gap between domestic drivers and world-class drivers.


    We stayed at the racing track for a whole morning. Everyone still had a lot of questions about An Feng, but they were all asking for advice modestly. Unfortunately, the feeling of the car is very important. An Feng didn''t know how to describe the feeling of the human body and the car flowing smoothly, but Zhou Hang seemed to understand I don''t understand, but I seem to understand something.


    Considering Joanna''s mood, An Feng did not continue to stay.


    "Don''t continue?" Joanna asked. Although she felt quite bored, she also felt a little proud when she saw An Feng surrounded by a group of admirers.


    "I said I would accompany you." An Feng said.


    "Don''t go, don''t go, I''ll treat you at noon!" Shang Xiong warmly invited them, "Visitors from afar are rare, so let''s go to a game restaurant in the city and spend a lot of money! There are also game such as pheasants and snakes. Mr. An has lived abroad all year round, so he must not be able to Would you like to experience these wild game?"


    An Feng spit after hearing that, there is really no chance abroad, and Joanna is also hungry. Although the food they said was scary, she still nodded. She rarely vetoes her husband''s decision when she is away, and it is the same this time. It''s also the reason why An Feng feels that his family is good. What more can a husband ask for if he has a wife like this.


    Everyone gets in the car and leaves the race track to go to the restaurant in the city.


    A few cars parked in front of a well-decorated restaurant, and there was no reservation, so I chose a place inside, followed Shang Xiong to order some game, and added a few bottles of beer. After the food and wine were served, Shang Xiong specifically said to Zhou Hang : "Racing drivers are only allowed half a glass of beer."


    Zhou Hang swallowed his saliva and silently protested, but it was ineffective.


    An Feng raised his wine glass to chat with friends from all walks of life, drank a sip of cool cold beer, and tried pheasant chicken as a side dish. The meat was a little hard, but the taste was good, sweet, and it was delicious without adding too much ingredients. Joanna took a piece: "Try it, a flying chicken."


    Joanna took a bite and nodded: "Sweet, delicious."


    "I knew it." An Feng knew that Westerners tend to have a sweet taste. I looked up to pick up things, and found that everyone was watching, obviously surprised that the foreign girl used chopsticks skillfully.


    "She is my wife, she will definitely use it." An Feng smiled proudly.


    Although we only met a few hours ago, because of the common interest in racing, everyone chatted very well, especially Shang Xiong, a very generous person. Although the meal was quite expensive, he didn''t care about it. An Feng is not too polite, it is rare to have delicious food, chicken and snake are very good.


    Joanna was determined not to touch snake meat, but she learned to eat some other things. An hour later, everyone had a full stomach and chatted about the atmosphere. When An Feng asked Zhou Hang what his biggest dream was, he replied: "I hope to participate in a world-class touring car race."


    "WTCC?" An Feng asked.


    "It is too, but I like the one with more horsepower, like the one you play." Zhou Hang said.


    "It depends on talent and physical fitness. It consumes a lot of energy for the driver." An Feng said that after a game, he dehydrates two or three kilograms, and the acceleration can reach up to 3 G. Without physical strength and endurance, it is impossible to play. The current Zhou Hang looks thinner, and his physical fitness is first of all unqualified.


    "I will work hard." Zhou Hang said, as if answering An Feng, but also as if giving himself confidence.


    An Feng was moved by his eyes: "Well, if you can finish in the top three in this short-distance event held in the province, I will provide you with sponsorship and support. If you perform better, I can arrange for you to experience it abroad. A better racing environment and even getting you into a GP team."


    "Really?" Shang Xiong was surprised, and everyone else in the room was also moved. You must know that the GP team is quite famous. It is said that it is preparing for a high-level E-GT event, or simply entering FE. In terms of financial resources, there is a giant like GP, which is the strongest.


    "Of course, I''m not joking." An Feng said.


    "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Shang Xiong told Zhou Hang that it is the dream of all drivers to go abroad and participate in world-class races.


    But Zhou Hang hesitated: "I don''t speak English..."


    "If you kid can go abroad to participate in the competition, you don''t have to worry about it!" Shang Xiong laughed, "It''s okay to translate it for you at that time!"


    Zhou Hang looked at An Feng, who represented magic and hope: "I want to participate in the world-class competition, what conditions do I need?"


    An Feng thought for a while: "If you can win the short-distance race, I will set up a racing foundation to support you. If you can win the top three in domestic high-level races within three years, I will let the GP team come to compete with you. You negotiated a contract, what do you think?"


    "Three years?" Zhou Hang calculated in his mind. Three years later, he will be twenty-two years old, which happens to be the golden age of a racing driver. Generally, it is counted within thirty years. Both physical strength and energy are at the peak stage. Events that consume a lot of money are fully capable of withstanding.


    Shang Xiong is more concerned about the issue of the Racing Foundation.


    This was also an impromptu idea of ??An Feng. With a lot of money in hand, he planned to entrust the establishment of a racing foundation, and use the profits obtained from fund investment to support racing activities and help discover some young drivers with potential, like Zhou Hang. wasted.


    Simply put, it is a foundation for digging out folk seed players.


    For example, there is a fund of several hundred million yuan, with an annual profit of 10 million yuan, which can support many motor sports.


    GP Energy supports sports events in order to increase their popularity. Although they are currently invincible, it does not mean that they will have no competitors in the future. For long-term considerations, they have to expand publicity through various actions and consolidate their dominance in the battery industry.


    The GP team is equivalent to a part of the publicity link. As a shareholder of the team, An Feng naturally hopes that the team can find a talented driver like John Cooper. Just refer to the international competitions.

 Chapter 361： Middle East market

    Chapter 361 Middle East Market


    An Feng intends to set up a racing fund of 300 million yuan. Even if the money is invested in stable currency funds, it will be more than 10 million yuan per year. But are professional financial advisors vegetarian? It is not difficult to achieve a profit of more than 20 million yuan. For a small team like Shangxiong, a sponsorship of hundreds of thousands can change a lot.


    300 million RMB is only 50 million U.S. dollars. With low-risk investment, the possibility of losing money is very small, and the funds can be kept safely. No matter what, it is better than putting it in the bank...Finally, An Feng left them a contact The method will be discussed after Zhou Hang has achieved results.


    Shang Xiong and the others don��t doubt An Feng, they can get information about An Feng online, a super rich man with assets worth tens of billions of dollars, there is no need to doubt the credibility of his words, because the money is nothing to him. Fortunately, they seized the golden opportunity and seized the time to train the drivers.


    An Feng left contact information with them, said goodbye and continued driving to the city.


    Since Joanna likes strange things, although the time is a bit late, she can also go for a walk and choose a relatively large flower and bird market. She bought some jade and exquisite ceramic plates amidst all kinds of tricks and bragging from the vendors. The price is not high. High, but mostly for the pursuit of fun.


    An Feng looked at the loot, and said with a smile, "It can also be said that you have found the treasure?"


    "Of course." Joanna was finally satisfied.


    After staying for two more days, they set off again, this time their destination was London.


    There are still a few days before Liverpool''s home game, London will stay first.


    Joanna took him to the mall to buy clothes and accessories. Although high-end customization is available every year, dresses are not all-weather after all, and she needs other daily clothing. They just walked a few laps in several relatively large shopping malls in London, wandering in the sea of ??clothes, bags and high-heeled shoes.


    An Feng brought four bodyguards this time, so he did not become a porter.


    Shopping with Joanna has gained a lot of experience, because the high-heeled shoes he collectively refers to can be divided into stilettos, fish-mouthed ones, thick-soled ones, and pointed-toed ones... He also saw the newly opened Bida high-end franchise store, The Harts are really fast, just partnered up a few months ago and now they''re open.


    You can��t miss it when you pass by, follow the trend and go in to have a look. The decoration of the store is magnificent. After all, it is a luxury consumer product, and it needs an environment to set off its value. Drinks of different flavors are displayed on beautiful glass containers, and the exquisite glass bottles look like high-end perfumes.


    If you come in rashly without looking clearly, you will really think that you have come to a perfume shop. Here and the beverage store are two worlds. The products are only high-end products and customized styles.


    The strategy of Bida Company is obvious, cultivating high-end and customized products as luxury goods, and selling middle and low-end products in major supermarkets. Although the price is much higher than that of ordinary drinks, compared with those in specialty stores, the ones shown here are It is the real luxury, and it is not necessarily available.


    The concentration of high-end and customized products is very high, which has exceeded the scope of beverages. It is drunk infrequently and can be consumed every three to five times like red wine. Therefore, it has the characteristics of luxury goods, but it also has the flexibility of ordinary products, and the sales volume is instead will be higher.


    Even though it is expensive, during Anfeng��s visit, many men and women still came to buy it. There are as many as seven high-end flavors. You can choose your own taste for customization, which is more pure��this is what the merchants say. Anfeng Feng didn''t feel what its "pure" taste was.


    Sometimes they drink it undiluted, and the cost is equivalent to liquid gold.


    Joanna liked the exquisite bottle very much, so she bought several newly launched flavors, packed them in exquisite packaging bags, and turned left to the next stop when she went out... An Feng spent a whole day shopping, and he couldn''t help himself. Tired, but I wonder why she is not tired in high heels.


    "Why?" An Feng was puzzled.


    "It may be the special power of women." Scarlett guessed.


    "Maybe." An Feng said, Joanna came out of the fitting room, and he had to think about what words to use to describe it. It''s really a test of writing skills.


    Finally back home in the evening, the symbol of liberation is to sit down on the sofa.


    The next day, when I went out and came back to meet Khalid, An Feng felt that I could meet him every time I came to London... In fact, it might be that they lived in the same building, because they came here in summer and autumn. Like a stove, the rich and the rich have come to London to escape the summer heat, and it is normal to encounter them.


    Khalid invited them to visit.


    An Feng and him are old friends, so you don''t have to be polite, change your clothes and then go upstairs to be a guest, have some snacks, and chat. It was the same as before, except that Khalid''s female companion changed from the familiar Laila to the current Hasna, all of whom are Arab beauties, and Hasna is more Westernized.


    Joanna asked her: "Your pronunciation is very accurate, have you lived in England?"


    Hasna nodded and said: "My father is British and my mother is Lebanese, so my English is not bad, but your accent is the most orthodox."


    Joanna smiled: "Thank you for the compliment."


    Khalid��s servant brought several bottles of refrigerated bio-drinks, and Khalid warmly invited them to drink: ��These drinks have become popular all over the world recently. Not really slowing down aging."


    "It will be effective after a period of time." An Feng said.


    "Are you sure?" Khaled heard the tone.


    An Feng smiled: "Because it is a project I invested in, Joanna has used it before it was launched, and now she is the best example."


    Both Khaled and Hasna looked at Joanna. Although it was presumptuous to stare at the human face, Joanna could understand it. Even she was pleasantly surprised by the changes in these days. The face was naturally smooth and tender, and the skin was regenerated. Some light makeup is already the icing on the cake, and the changes in other parts of the body also show a younger trend. Compared with the photos five years ago, there is no age change.


    Hasna said sincerely: "It feels like my wife is like a twenty-year-old girl, it''s amazing!"


    Joanna joked: "I''m not very old now, am I?"


    Hasna smiled and said, "Sorry, but I mean it, you look really young."


    To be praised so much, Joanna''s face and heart were happy. An Feng grabbed her hand and said, "Don''t worry about celebrating your birthday every year, right?"


    "It depends." She smiled.


    According to Khaled, although the bio-drink has not been sold globally, its efficacy has long been a trend among the rich. For example, some members of the royal family in the Middle East are airlifted directly from the United States to ensure that it is the freshest, despite the cost. The sharp increase, but just a refreshing picture.


    Khalid is also looking for a relationship with An Feng: "The high-end products are very effective, but unfortunately there are too few. Can you provide me with more exclusive supplies?"


    An Feng said: "If the volume is large enough, you can become a VVIP customer and enjoy priority."


    Khalid as the topic deepened: "What about the regional agents?"


    An Feng knew that the business was coming, and said: "The Middle East is also considered, but the production environment does not know whether it is up to standard, and there are cultural and religious factors."


    Due to complicated reasons, Americans and products are not popular in the Middle East, except of course their arms.


    Khaled said: "Qatar has always been committed to being in line with the international standards. The World Cup will be held soon, and it will be a huge market. As for the environment for investment and production, we will work hard to create it. The market in the Middle East is not small. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates Neither is extremely anti-American."


    An Feng considers that no matter how much money the technology benefits mankind, it is worth promoting. However, some countries in the Middle East are very anti-American, which will also affect business, and the entry of foreign capital is very unclear. It may be more secure if there is cooperation from the local government or members of the royal family.


    It''s a pity that the environment in Qatar is really bad. An Feng told the truth: "We welcome agents in the Middle East, and we can even set up joint venture subsidiaries. I also believe that you have the ability to promote it to surrounding countries, but the specific needs of the market require the company to send people. Field trips."


    Khalid said: "As long as there is hope, we will create the conditions."


    Khalid attaches great importance to bio-drinks. He has spent many years in Western countries and received Western cultural education. He naturally knows how terrifying the influence and wealth of technology that can make humans inseparable. As long as he can open the market in several countries in the Middle East, it means huge wealth.


    "I will give you the contact information, and recommend you to talk to the company in my name." The contact information An Feng left for Khaled Company.


    It is a beautiful thing to be able to expand into the Middle East, and it is recommended by the name of Anfeng, the company will definitely give priority to it. Next, he can also help Qatar improve other conditions, such as greening and water resources, which Qatar lacks.


    Khalid has a good memory: "I remember you told me about greening technology and seawater desalination last time."


    An Feng nodded: "The technology has already started to face the market. The greening technology has received orders from the California government and is being implemented around Los Angeles. It is expected to see results next year. The seawater desalination technology is already available, and its quality and efficiency are comparable. What you have now is several times stronger."


    When it comes to seawater desalination technology, the more water-scarce countries are, the more developed they are. The Middle East is a typical example, and other technologies are so-so, and their desalination plants are all ruthless. Otherwise, this desert will consume so much money every year. So much water, where can I get it?


    "Are you sure you can improve so much?" Khalid asked with some disbelief.


    "I promise." An Feng said, "Let''s put it this way, even desalinated seawater can be drunk with a taste closer to tap water, what do you think? If you don''t believe it, you can take a professional to the United States , we have a complete desalination technology to experience.��


    Khalid attaches great importance to this point: "I will arrange time to go and solve the greening issue. The World Cup is still a few years away. If you can make Doha green, I promise you will make the rest of the city green. The order is handed over to you, and other countries will be recommended.��


    What An Feng was waiting for was this sentence: "High technology will shock you."


    "I hope so. Qatar needs green and water resources too much." Khaled said, no matter from the perspective of business or the country, he hopes that his hometown will become better, and now Anfeng provides an excellent opportunity. I cherish it very much, and I am already thinking about the plan in my heart.


    An Feng also managed to get business for his own company. He has known Khaled for so long, and this time he finally has a direct interest cooperation. Doing business with the Arab world through Arabs should be the most suitable solution for development in the Middle East. The difficulty of fully foreign capital is very high.


    Facts have proved that to do big things, you often need a strong enough relationship. If you are someone else, let alone business, you can��t even meet Khalid. What are you talking about? People at An Feng''s level have an advantage. Everyone is familiar with each other and knows their strengths. Cooperation can be done with just a few words.

 Chapter 362： boss gift

    Chapter 362 Boss gift


    An Feng is very happy to settle a deal first in this trip. Although it is only a preliminary negotiation, Khaled will take people to conduct an actual investigation before the results can be achieved. However, out of confidence in the technology, An Feng believes that after reading it, they will cooperate. will only grow stronger. As for the possibility of rejection is very small.


    After talking about official business, it��s time to play. When it comes to playing, An Feng of course has to take Joanna to watch a ball game, and then come back to participate in the general board meeting of the foundation. This is the necessary itinerary given by the assistant. Even if it is a shopkeeper who is leaving the store, he must be present at least once a year to listen to reports or make decisions.


    Especially for this game, the proprietress has not shown up for a year. The players all hope that she can come to watch the game in the new season and bring some good luck to the team. Even the team executives who called also conveyed the players'' wishes A warm greeting and an invitation that is too good to refuse.


    Khalid said: "I also want to go to watch the game. The day after tomorrow, Liverpool will play against Manchester City. It is said that it is the most intense game since the start of this year."


    "I welcome you very much!" An Feng said cheerfully.


    "Let me call a few more friends, I believe you will be able to chat, Said last time, do you remember?"


    "Of course I remember, Prince of Dubai, right?"


    Khalid nodded: "Sayed will have other entourages when he goes with us, I hope you don''t mind. In addition, if you are confident in greening technology and fresh water purification, I will connect you. Although Said doesn''t care about anything, but Talk to his family, it is still useful."


    "It''s no problem, thank you very much!" An Feng felt that Khaled was interesting enough, and the business has not been confirmed yet, so he is now helping to draw the list.


    ��


    At night, An Feng thought about another thing: "Honey, you said that as the team owner, should you give some gifts to the players who play for Liverpool?"


    Although Joanna can��t show up to support them every time, it��s normal to repay the enthusiasm of the players and give some greetings. When I officially took over the team, I forgot, and the greetings have been postponed indefinitely. Now that I think about it, it should be Give the players some gifts.


    "What''s the right choice?" Joanna said.


    "The players are all men. Naturally, they are more masculine. They shouldn''t be too big. They have to be collected within a few days..." An Feng thought, "If it''s a lady, it''s easy to do. Send some jewelry, senior Perfume or something, but man, is it a sports car?"


    "How about a watch?" Joanna had a proposal.


    "Yes!" An Feng nodded, "I have to get Goodrich to do this."


    Later he called Goodrich, arranged things, and then called the club''s top management to confirm their attendance.


    "Please tell the players that if you perform well this time, we have a gift for you!" An Feng said.


    ��


    Two days later.


    An Feng originally felt that he was protected by a big man in black, and traveling in a luxury car was a bit high-profile, but after meeting the Arabs, his thoughts disappeared immediately. Both Khaled and the Prince of Dubai are driven by Bentleys and Rolls-Royces, plus a group of followers who drive sports cars. It seems that they want to tell the world that this is a local tyrant, welcome to grab it.


    Considering that the Saudi prince was robbed in Paris before, although these people are high-profile, they are not stupid, and they brought several cars of bodyguards with them when they traveled far. After getting acquainted with some of the important characters, An Feng took out his mobile phone when he got in the car, and asked the stadium to find a way to increase the seats in the stands. He has many friends.


    The stadium is well-prepared this time. Knowing that the boss is coming, he will definitely bring bodyguards with him, so he reserved a surrounding area. After the number of people is determined, it is only a few more positions. After An Feng got the answer, the convoy here also set off in a mighty way.


    Liverpool is not far from London in a straight line, but it took three to four hundred kilometers to go around on the road. From morning to afternoon, I came to the local hotel to stay. The practice cannot be changed, of course it is the best and most luxurious , Even the owner of the hotel is also touched by the glory of the ball game and the local tyrants.


    You must know that in London, the arrival of rich people from the Middle East means that high-end hotels are not based on a day, but on a ten-day and a half-month basis. The surrounding luxury stores must also be ready for their raids, usually without spending money on wallets. And the money in the card, they feel uncomfortable all over.


    In the evening they had a private meal at the hotel restaurant.


    At the dinner table, Khaled introduced his Arab friends to An Feng in detail, and everyone also exchanged their names at the dinner table. But to be honest, after talking, An Feng couldn''t distinguish those awkward pronunciations, so he only remembered a few. It was Khalid who sold them landscaping services.


    An Feng sent the company''s electronic business card with his mobile phone. He didn''t expect these young people to make big decisions, but their parents and elders have the ability. As long as Qatar''s results come out, they will definitely be interested. After the excitement of the evening, head to Anfield the next afternoon.


    On the day of the game, and on weekends, parking spaces near the stadium were tight, and fans frequented.


    There was a feast of luxury cars on the side of the road. A luxury car stopped by the side of the road, the VIP came out, the car left, the next car came and stopped, and people continued to come out...The bodyguards were all in uniform black suits and sunglasses, and other passers-by At first glance, it feels like making a gangster movie.


    If it wasn��t for the VIP taking photos around with a Nokia to spoil the atmosphere, it would be quite similar. An Feng walked ahead to lead the way, and the staff specially sent by the stadium to receive the boss waited nearby. When they saw the proprietress, they greeted them and led them into the stadium. The game was about to start, and the audience was full.


    After Joanna appeared on the court, she enjoyed a big-name treatment: the surrounding fans applauded and cheered. In order to cater to the theme, she wore a red skirt with a small coat on it today, which matched the red all over the place, no wonder everyone was cheering.


    From the moment she walked out of the aisle, there were cameras focusing on her, and the commentary also specifically mentioned her outfit today: "It seems that Dame Joanna is also very concerned about this game, and even the clothes fit the theme Yes. This is also her first appearance on the court this year."


    The staff led the way, the bodyguards followed around, and the surrounding fans took pictures with their mobile phone cameras.


    An Feng thought in his heart: The treatment of beauties is different.


    When someone called his name, he turned his head and saw that the other person took a picture of him and said loudly: "I like your racing car! Sir!"


    "Thank you!" An Feng nodded.


    Joanna smiled: "Does it feel good?"


    The staff took them to the area with the best view. Before sitting down, Joanna smiled and greeted the surroundings, and sat down after eliciting more responses. When Khalid and his party appeared, the camera lens stayed for a few seconds longer, and the commentator said: "They are with the owner of Liverpool."


    Because most of the people who came to watch the game supported the home team Liverpool, and the group of Arabs who appeared now, including the rich children of the United Arab Emirates, and even members of the royal family, felt like they were singing against Mansour, the owner of the visiting team Manchester City. Same. Mansour is the richest man in the United Arab Emirates!


    Whether they are around or looking at the big screen, they all look at the most central position of the audience seats. This group of high-profile Arabs sat down, surrounded by bodyguards in black. Form a vacuum zone to prevent strangers from approaching.


    After the real big names and rich people sat down, they kept looking over, looking at or discussing. There were a lot of topics and speculations, and some people began to gossip, saying that the royal family of Dubai and Qatar may have taken a fancy to Liverpool, and some said that they were actually joking with the owner of Manchester City.


    Anyway, this area has become the most special in the auditorium today. Apart from the boss being the royal family, there are also foreign rich men, and a group of black-clothed bodyguards around them are also very imposing, serious and serious, let people know Regal watch the luxury lineup of the game.


    It was not until the game started that everyone''s attention was focused on the ball game.


    When some high-level executives of the team came over, the seats were already full, surrounded by big names in the Middle East and silent bodyguards. In the end, only CEO Al came and sat down in the reserved seat next to him, and the others stood on the railing next to them and made do. , It feels a bit bleak, but they are not rich or famous, so no one cares about them... Even the camera likes to focus more on the VIP seats temporarily set aside by the bodyguards.


    Al introduced the situation of the team to An Feng and Joanna this year. They spent 60 million pounds to sell two players. In addition to last year''s purchase, the team''s lineup has taken on a new look. It is very hopeful to win the points championship this year. Then reproduce the glory in the Champions League.


    Ayer''s words reveal a lot of confidence. It is no wonder that since the two American bosses came, Liverpool''s "big club" has not been proud. It is a big money to buy players, and finally feel proud.


    An Feng looked at the players on the field. He hadn��t watched the Premier League for a long time. The names of some young up-and-comers were unfamiliar, but they were said to be very valuable and famous. Liverpool paid a high price to get them. The visiting team Manchester City is also known for being able to burn money, and the lineup is very strong.


    This was a strong collision. Liverpool was broken through the penalty area by Manchester City players six minutes into the game, but was intercepted by the defender before the shot. The fans in the audience were dead silent, only a small number of blue fans left for the visiting team were cheering. KOP gave a thumbs up and booed.


    This game has attracted a lot of attention. The stadium is currently full, and tickets are hard to come by. The flags and fans on the scene have already been prepared. When Liverpool also launched an attack and were about to reach the penalty area, the excited fans stood up and raised their hands. Clenched hands, staring intently.


    The breakthrough was successful, and the ball was passed to the newly purchased center. The fans were already shouting. The high-priced center passed one and got a vacancy. The ball was saved and it fell to the Manchester City players behind.


    "Hey! Run faster!" An Feng stood up and said disappointedly. After the ball was thrown, if the Red Army defender behind him could hurry up and pass the ball to the striker on his right, maybe he could do it again. , the opponent can''t stop it this time, maybe they will score.


    After An Feng sat down, Joanna leaned over: "You are so serious, you were on camera just now."


    "Is my hairstyle messed up?" An Feng reached out and stroked his short hair. In fact, his stylist has been cutting his hair short recently.


    "Haha." Joanna smiled, looked at the field and waved: "Come on!"


    An Feng Khan: "You should cheer when they attack."


    "Ah oh." Joanna looked around. Fortunately, no one paid attention to her, but to be able to watch the game quietly, to be honest, it is already very face-saving.


    The evenly matched game had a breakthrough in the second half. Manchester City, commonly known as the ups and downs, wanted to explode in the second half, but they fouled when they were too excited. Liverpool scored a free throw and led 1-0, detonating the fans in the audience. Even the boss of the team stood up. Rise up and wave the flag for them.


    The performance of the Arabs behind them was also quite intense.


    An Feng asked Said beside him, and it turned out that he bought a lottery ticket.


    They don''t gamble there, but the lottery is a vaguely defined area, so these guys put the fun into it, and naturally cheered when Liverpool scored a goal, and the camera also filmed this scene, and finally determined that the Arabs were real. Came to cheer for Liverpool.


    The game in the second half was obviously more intense, and the final result was 2-1, and the Red Army won.


    In the end, there was some celebration. The fans reveled. Joanna walked to the locker room to see the new faces, gave encouragement and congratulations, and then the team coach announced: "This time, Dame Joanna promised us before coming here. , If you win, you will have a gift!"


    "Welcome her again!" The team coach applauded.


    Everyone formed a circle around Joanna, she smiled and said: "I promised earlier that as long as you perform well in this game, I will bring you gifts. Here is a watch from London. I don''t know you What brand do you like, so I bought some of each!"


    The players shouted.


    Joanna continued with a smile: "Every player on the scene has a share!"


    The players boiled over, started cheering, and some people were singing. If they hadn''t considered that the boss was a woman, they would have come up and hugged her in a ball.


    An Feng asked the assistants and bodyguards to show the gifts she specially brought to the players in London: all kinds of high-end watches. Due to the temporary purchase, the models are not uniform, but they are all purchased towards high-end, such as Vacheron Constantin, Piaget, Audemars Piguet and other top brands.


    "Don''t worry! Come one by one!" An Feng said.


    Usually all kinds of free and easy, all kinds of disobedient players are like elementary school students this time, obediently queuing up to wait for gifts, looking forward to the huge pile of gift bags on the table, anyone who knows the goods knows that it is not cheap, come in to shoot The cameraman also recorded their performance and expressions.


    Joanna gave them gifts one by one, and she couldn''t wait to unpack each one to see what good things she got.


    When unpacking the presents, there were more cheers and screams.


    Get is proudly displaying it, staring impatiently at it, looking forward to its own gift.


    Although watches are not custom-made, the top brands are not cheap. Several watch franchise stores of Vacheron Constantin sell for more than 100,000 pounds. If you are lucky, you will get more than 100,000 pounds. The average price was more than 100,000, and more than 20 players gave away more than 3 million pounds at once.


    The arrogance of the team owner is really no worse than that of the rich owners of other money-burning teams.


    The next day, the "Sun" reported the news that made all the players drool with envy. The noble lady gave big gifts to the winning Liverpool players. The top watches were randomly selected, worth more than 100,000 yuan, which is equivalent to outstanding players. Their weekly salary.


    Following the players on the Internet, it makes other teams look forward to seeing their boss, and look forward to their own side coming back sometime. It''s a pity that the Premier League burns money, but local tyrants are still in the minority. After the incident, Joanna''s popularity among fans and players rose again.

 Chapter 363： milan

    Chapter 363 Milan


    The day after the match, An Feng returned to London.


    Today''s sports news is very lively. Liverpool''s victory over the well-formed Manchester City is a good omen. Some fans even attributed the appearance of the proprietress, and the dress that catered to the theme brought good luck to the team. There are also people posting selfies with her on social media.


    Although she kept a low profile and refused to accept interviews, when she left, she still gave fans a chance to take a few harmless group photos with them. There are fans hugging excitedly.


    But the bodyguards around Joanna are not good looking, they are all meat eaters.


    After returning to London, Joanna attended the high-level meeting of the foundation and listened to the report. It mainly talks about the operation of the foundation, profit, and how much profit is used for charity and investment. The foundation has funds of 150 million pounds, and 8 million pounds have been used for charity this year.


    "The most successful of these is the aid for the treatment of autism, which has achieved very good results. The foundation will continue to fund professional hospitals in this area, promote this technology, and use the profits obtained for more charitable causes on. Others..."


    Foundation director Ms. Branson presided over the meeting and briefly stated important matters.


    Joanna also gave comments and suggestions. Finally, considering that the current structure of the foundation is very reasonable, and the subordinate financial management team is well-managed, she decided to donate 100 million pounds for the development of the foundation and the construction of charity. country to set up a representative office.


    The one-time donation of 100 million pounds is not a small amount, but without warning, it happened in this conference room under the witness of the dozen or so senior executives and directors. Her indifferent fame and fortune won everyone''s respect, and the foundation''s social homepage also reported on it afterwards.


    People who followed the foundation knew about it, and then someone forwarded it, and then some news media asked the foundation for confirmation. After receiving a positive answer, they gave some space to report, and this matter was really learned by more people. And was discussed and praised by people.


    And Joanna, who is the focus of the topic, has left London and went south to Italy.


    Milan is undoubtedly a luxurious city, it has the best opera house in Italy, the most gorgeous costumes and the most extravagant nightlife. It''s not ideal for the budget traveler, but it''s a place that offers a glimpse into the luxuries of the high-income class.


    An Feng''s private plane arrived in the ancient city of Milan.


    I don��t see much extravagance and flashiness, but looking out of the car window, the ancient and low buildings around are An Feng��s first impression of Milan. Most cities in Europe are the same. Their buildings have deep feelings, and generally they don��t Take the initiative to demolish old buildings to build new ones.


    The hotel''s special car will pick them up and take them to the city center. The high-end hotels in Milan are centered on the church square and surrounded by them. The location chosen by Anfeng can clearly overlook the Milan Cathedral (Duomo). When I checked in, I found that it was also in harmony with the surrounding Like the old building, it is old and not tall, and the best suite on the top floor costs 23,000 euros a day plus service fees, which is equivalent to 30,000 U.S. dollars.


    The appearance of the $30,000 hotel is a bit disappointing to the public, and the buildings in the city center are similar. Most of the buildings are three or five stories high. After checking in, I found it to be okay. The interior has been repaired. The suite has a master bedroom, a guest room, and a living room. The main project is the outdoor rooftop.


    The roof feels like it was built after a part of the roof was demolished. There are leisure sofas and an outdoor bar, and green plants are planted around it, creating an atmosphere of a sky garden. You can see it not far away when you sit. Towering over the spire of Milan Cathedral.


    An Feng was sitting on a sofa where people could lie down outdoors. It was okay. It was a bit different from other hotels where he stayed at tens of thousands of dollars a night, but it was understandable. After all, the cost of accommodation in Milan had always been high. But he has never considered these, he is here to conquer the "luxury" here with money.


    There are two purposes for coming to Milan. The first is to participate in Fashion Week. Milan Fashion Week is very prestigious and does not accept door-to-door visitors. If you want to go to the show, you can only be invited. Invitation is no problem for Joanna. People I''m afraid I can''t wait for the lady to come to join me.


    The second is to meet Austin, who is currently investing in a bio-drink subsidiary here. As the head of the consortium, An Feng needs to get to know his partners in Italy and get to know some politicians by the way. He bought the island here, and dealing with the government will make things easier in the future.


    ��


    After the residence was settled, it was still early, and Joanna voted democratically to go out to play.


    An Feng had a quick glance at Milan, so he was naturally willing to go out. The other four bodyguards left two to rest and the other two to accompany them on the trip. I heard and Joanna herself said that the security in some popular areas of Milan is not very good, the little black and the little A are active, and local Latin thieves are hidden.


    An Feng has seen a lot of Latin thieves, mainly concentrated in Italy, Spain and France. These guys are not doing business, and the third hand is very long. Some pay attention to technology and steal your things silently, and some pay attention to brute force Smash your windows, pry your doors, things like that.


    So it is safest to go out with two smart bodyguards.


    The Maserati of the hotel sent them to the square in front of the cathedral. When you come to Milan, you must see the cathedral and the cross corridor next to the cathedral. It��s like the Chinese must see the sky = security = gate and the Forbidden City when they go to city B. You didn��t I am too embarrassed to say that I have been to Milan.


    The cathedral is very great. It has a history of more than 600 years. It is very tall, very large and wide. It is determined by the Gothic style. It must be a pointed tower. It must be tall and slender. , the ceiling inside allows you to look up at 90 degrees to the sky to see clearly.


    The church is open to tourists, but those who wear short skirts and shorts are not allowed to enter. Walking inside feels a little smaller. Facing those huge stone pillars and towering domes, it makes people feel small, but because it is a Catholic church, Joanna commented In general, faith is the highest.


    The visit was very simple, and Joanna looked at the pigeons on the square: "Shall we go feed the pigeons?"


    "Okay, let''s find a bird food seller." An Feng looked around.


    Joanna reminded: "Be careful of gypsies or swaying guys who sell bird food. They are gangsters who cover your sight when you buy things to steal things, or charge high prices to blackmail you. You go. My friend told me about the experience."


    "Then I have to buy bird food, right?" An Feng walked up to a guy selling bird food and communicated in English.


    Joanna hid behind him with her handbag in her hand, surrounded by two bodyguards, a man and a woman, watching closely. In particular, Neil''s chest muscles were about to stretch his suit, and the bird food seller traded bird food and cash with him with trembling hands. , After leaving in fear, Joanna smiled and said, "You guys scared him."


    The pigeons on the square will jump at them as soon as they see something to eat, and they are not afraid of people at all. If they can talk, it must be "I have seen more people than you have eaten rice." An Feng also caught them. Bits of bird food spilled on the ground, but they were carefully dodged as they took off.


    "What are you doing?" Joanna asked curiously.


    "Aren''t you afraid it will drop bombs?" An Feng pointed to the flying pigeons. Occasionally, they were too full to take off and dropped some bombs.


    "You''ve been through it before," Joanna said.


    An Feng laughed dryly, he wanted to say that he almost managed to eat roasted pigeon later.


    After feeding the birds, the next stop is the "Gallery of Vittorio Emanuel II" next to the cathedral, which is generally called the Cross Corridor, which is more convenient. There is nothing to say there, one of the few places in Europe that can make your wallet empty quickly and make the poor cry is also a paradise for luxury goods.


    The spacious and towering cross corridor gathers all the luxury brands that can be imagined. Due to the country of origin, the price is very low. Generally, those who come to Milan from foreign countries to buy wildly skip the scenery and spend ten hours a day immersed in it. Back to the hotel to sleep, the next stop the next day.


    Joanna is not that crazy. She already has several brands of high-end customization, but she can��t leave empty-handed when she comes. She looked down at the handbag and felt that it should be old after a few days of use. She couldn��t stop when she passed the window. It just came off the production line.


    Then... buy it directly, An Feng is not interested in swiping the card, his money is enough to buy it here once and buy it several times. But I am more interested in the floor in the middle of the corridor. After following the crowd to find the very popular Taurus pattern, I found that a hole was stepped on the position of its small penis.


    It''s so wicked, and what An Feng has to do is to step on it and turn around.


    "It is said that good luck will come after a turn, so try it." An Feng recommended.


    I don��t know who first spread this weird custom, and it successfully made all the tourists who came to travel drill a deep pit in the ground with their heels. The circle is smooth and shiny, in stark contrast to the surrounding patterns... An Feng came to shop It is in this area that the greatest interest is concentrated.


    When he continued to browse, he found a "perfume shop"... Austin''s speed is fast enough, he has already opened the store here, and the location is still very central. There are many people who come here for tourism and shopping every day. A well-decorated store, it is inevitable to go in and have a look.


    It is more about its brand. Bida is widely spread in the fashion industry. High-end customized models have always been a trend sought after by the rich and famous. It is rare to see such a brand that makes people enthusiastic except for luxury goods. This fancy drink does exactly that.


    Compared with the situation in London, perhaps the geographical location is good, there are a lot of customers in the store, and there are also some Asians. In fact, you can know where you come from by listening to Chinese. There are no mid-to-low-end products in the store, they only sell high-end products, and every item is exquisite and worth emptying your wallet.


    An Feng also heard that some people wanted to customize it, but unfortunately only VIP orders are currently accepted.


    From the United States and Britain to the present Italy, the shortage of supply is an obvious phenomenon. The low-end and middle-end counters set up in supermarkets are very popular, and the high-end luxury goods are also full of customers. They meet the different needs of different groups of people and gradually change people''s perception of biological beverages. understanding.


    Judging from the popularity of these countries, the paving plan for bio-drinks is very successful.

    After shopping, return to the hotel. Although the hotel is not big, the star-rated service has not been dropped. A dinner full of local characteristics is ready. Given the relaxed theme, we moved to the outdoor terrace to enjoy the delicious meal while watching the sunset in Milan.


    After the dinner, there will be a cocktail party. The bartender in the suite will perform passionately. An Feng will sit on the sofa and watch the night, and the accompanying bodyguards will get rid of their fatigue and enjoy the leisure time of the journey... Later, An Feng will use a new Bought a local card for a phone call.


    After connecting, An Feng said: "Hi, Austin, I''m Bruce."


    "Welcome to Milan, Bruce." Austin said on the other end of the phone, "Have a great day, and you''re about to have a great night?"


    "I don''t have so many activities at night." An Feng said.


    Austin said: "The excitement of Milan lies in the night, nightclubs and nightlife. It''s a pity that I am old, otherwise I will live like a young man."


    An Feng said: "Don''t blame your age for laziness. As long as you have passion, it is a young attitude to go out to nightclubs with your wife and children."


    Joanna, who was tasting wine beside her, smiled: "Don''t instigate others."


    "You really give people confidence." Austin obviously heard Joanna''s laughter, "Say hello to Madam for me."


    "Of course." An Feng said, "What are your arrangements for these few days?"


    "I have plenty of time, and it mainly depends on your plan." Austin said, he suggested that An Feng get to know the local partners. The first purpose is to get in touch with the core of the consortium, and the second is to make connections. In the future, there will be other With the cooperation, Austin also gave the opportunity.


    Now An Feng rarely participates in anything other than consortium gatherings. It''s not easy to get to know him. It''s worth just talking a few words and leaving an impression. Maybe one day he will remember it, and business opportunities and wealth will come rolling in. Austin doesn''t lack a relationship with An Feng, but his friends do.


    An Feng said: "I may have to attend a few fashion shows, but I don''t have any arrangements for the evening..."


    An Feng and Austin talked about their itinerary, and then Austin invited An Feng and his wife to participate in a heavyweight Prada (Prada) spring and summer high-end launch. The local rich and famous.


    An Feng would not refuse the grand finale, and Joanna was even more willing to participate.


    Usually the finale is a big name, and being invited is a symbol of recognition. Some people auction invitations to press conferences of big brands online. There are passes that can go to the backstage. Auctioned to $100,000.


    Austin can still get a vacant seat when the press conference is about to be held, which is quite capable.


    Two days later.


    The press conference is coming soon, and they set off a little later than the agreed time because Joanna was not satisfied with the style, and she didn''t plan to go to Prada''s finale conference, so the clothes and other accessories were not ready. The stylist hurriedly mobilized his assistants to sweep the goods in the cross corridor.


    After buying a lot of things and choosing one out of a hundred, she is satisfied with her current look.


    An Feng couldn''t feel the difference except for the color of the clothes. Anyway, they are beautiful and dignified. Maybe only women and stylists can see what they want... The Maserati at the hotel is ready, get in the car and go immediately The scene of the press conference.


    A group of journalists gathered at the entrance of the press conference. The press conferences of big brands attracted a lot of attention, because there were so many celebrities invited, and there were security guards at the scene to maintain order. Every luxury car stopped, starting from the door opening, There will be countless lenses in focus.


    Although they set off 20 minutes late, they were still not late, which proved two points: the big names had to come later; the Italians�� time was unreliable.


    The Maserati came to a stop, and the security guard stepped forward to open the door. Joanna came out under the spotlight, wearing a coat over the skirt, high heels to set off her beautiful legs, and a handbag that catered to the theme. Show that she is not a public figure.


    Actresses will not deliberately cover their faces when they attend this kind of occasion. This is an opportunity to show off. If you deliberately cover your face, who knows who you are? But it turns out that as long as there is influence, someone wearing a mask will know about it. After Scarlett showed the electronic invitation card, she was invited in by the receptionist.


    There are a bunch of reporters outside, and there are more reporters inside. In front of the poster wall, various celebrities posed in poses and actively cooperated with the reporters'' requests. Only the two of them passed by in a low-key manner under the **** of the bodyguards. The bodyguards properly used their body advantages to block the camera and skip the poster wall.


    The big sunglasses in front may have been installed on purpose, and if the sign-in area inside is so low-key, I really don��t want the camera to capture it. The reporters and staff at the scene also quickly understood that celebrities would not refuse the media''s request, otherwise they would be causing trouble for themselves.


    Usually only rich people do this. There are many entertainment reporters on site, and people with knowledge have recognized An Feng and his wife. For a rich man worth tens of billions, someone must know, not to mention that Joanna is well-known in the UK. The residual warmth of the Jazz and philanthropists is still there.


    The lights in the venue were a bit dim, and the two sides of the runway were full of people, even standing in a row at the back. An Feng was looking for a seat, but Austin found him first, accompanied by his wife. Austin was in his early fifties, but his wife was younger, in her thirties.


    "Welcome!" Austin shook hands with An Feng, then kissed Joanna, and turned sideways: "The press conference is about to start, let''s go."


    Joanna took An Feng''s hand and came to the front seat to sit down. The names of the guests were pasted on it. Even Joanna, who decided to come to the show on the spur of the moment, was carefully given the honorific title of "Dame". It can be seen from the details that the organizers have spent a lot of thought on preparations.


    After sitting down, Austin introduced the friends around him. The seats in the front row are all exquisite, with Austin as the center, surrounded by important people. Now there are Prada designers, Ms. Prada, who is worth tens of billions, and Her husband and brand CEO Bertley.


    Sitting next to the most important person, this treatment is really high class, An Feng shook hands with them to get to know each other. In terms of attitude, Austin''s wife has a very good relationship with them. They talked in Italian, talking and laughing, but the center of the topic was introducing An Feng and his wife.


    After a few polite conversations, the press conference is about to begin.


    This is a press conference for high-end ready-to-wear. High-end custom-made dresses are not Prada''s strong point. Dresses are rare in Milan Fashion Week in September. Usually, high-end dresses appear frequently in Paris, that is, Paris is changed. The reason why many designers favor it.


    All catwalks are female models. Italy has slightly higher body requirements for female models than other places. It is said that the height of female models is 180 cm, but the weight is limited to about 50 kg. It feels like a clothes hanger.


    An Feng feels that if his height is less than 60 kg, he would be ashamed to say that he has **** and beautiful legs. But the clothes for the press conference are ultimately worn by the ladies watching the show. Joanna is very standard, her height is suitable, and her weight is maintained at a fleshy level, which is perfect.


    She took a fancy to several ready-to-wear clothes, and now she has royal gowns, but she must wear clothes every day. Although the ready-made clothes are not unique, they will not be casually matched. It happens that the person in power at Prada is next to her, so placing an order is very simple. Bertley also said he was honored.


    When the press conference was coming to an end, Ms. Prada took the stage to express her thanks. Bertley in the audience invited them: "Mr. An, Ma''am, we will hold a brand charity dinner the night after tomorrow, and we will auction some historic leather products and accessories. Are you interested?"


    An Feng looked at Joanna, she nodded: "Okay, we will be there on time."


    Austin was also invited by Bertley, and the other guests were also sent invitations sooner or later, but there were very few who could get him to ask him personally. Apart from the few rich people around him, only Several stars in the entertainment industry, and the order is later.


    Even if it is the same show, the identity and degree of attention are very different.


    An Feng and Joanna attended the dinner on time the night after tomorrow, and they were also matched by Austin. Afterwards, they learned that his wife had made some investments in the luxury industry. Industry, private industry is also strong.


    So to a certain extent, the most distinguished guests in the audience are An Feng and Joanna.


    The dinner party is also very interesting. First of all, in addition to Prada, the sponsors on the poster wall are the high-end brands of Pida. In addition to the supply of drinks, the highlight is the bio-drinks, especially the VIP guest tables. High-end products are presented, which are special.


    Brand��s dinner, and because of the fashion week schedule, there were naturally many celebrities and supermodels present. It was no exaggeration, the scene was filled with all kinds of thighs and breasts, beautiful legs without breasts, and **** with ugly legs. Anyway, wherever supermodels appear, it is a very exciting visual feast.


    This is usually a luxury venue for the rich, celebrities and supermodels. Being able to participate is a kind of talking point. The ladies all show their charm and try to leave a stunning moment. The real big names are even more low-key than them. The host of the dinner greets them personally. Warm greetings and constant smiles.


    An Feng is receiving this kind of high-level treatment now. He dares to say that if he does not have a female companion, no matter whether it is a supermodel or an actress at the scene, he will be happy to lean on his side. They are low-key in public, but they are appropriately high-key in this private nature, and there is a lot of attention to it.


    He concluded that the more cameras there are, the more low-key they will be, and the more private they will be high-key. Expressing an attitude of "you have to have an identity before you can see my high-profile", instantly raised the level of the dinner party, and all the people who came later were real upper-class people.


    The purpose of An Feng''s participation in the dinner was also simple. From the time he walked in to the prelude to the dinner, he met some Italians, most of whom were businessmen. Among them was the head of a subsidiary company that cooperated with Bida, who was also brought by Austin to meet the world. , the lucky one who knows the real boss.


    The other party cherishes this opportunity. As far as the current members of the consortium are concerned, Bazel is the most convincing and popular, while An Feng is relatively low-key but has the most business opportunities. These two are very special and can compete with anyone A good relationship may reduce a lot of struggle.


    No, after a few words, An Feng talked about the issue of superconducting generators from the private island, as well as the cooperation and agents of the generators. A few words can represent who will eventually spend billions of dollars of wealth Home. It would be a surprise for anyone.


    =====


    PS: There will be several updates on the National Day, at least three times, everyone give some motivation to guarantee the bottom ticket!

 Chapter 365： "Big Cat" goes abroad

    Chapter 365 "Big Cat" going abroad


    After the warm-up cocktail party, everyone was already familiar with each other. An Feng mainly met business partners and friends of friends. As for the supermodels, they were obviously not qualified to join their circle. I learned from Austin that many people present decided to participate on the spur of the moment.


    That is, they were not interested in this dinner before, but because of An Feng''s charisma, they came. On the one hand, it gave An Feng a lot of face, and on the other hand, it also improved the connotation of the dinner. The dinner party was underway, and after everyone was eating and chatting, the auction process began.


    Ms. Prada from the charity auction took out her treasures, most of which are handbags. For luxury goods, the value of classic handbags is not low. The most famous handbags in the industry are Herm��s handbags, and the prices of limited edition styles are also rising year by year. .


    The atmosphere of the charity auction is very peaceful. There is no malicious bidding in this form of auction. You can buy whatever you see that suits you. The money raised will be donated as charity or donated to the charity fund you set up. Joanna also spent tens of thousands of euros on a handbag.


    After the banquet, continue the celebration, invite dances or chat in small groups. Under Austin''s translation, An Feng continued to chat with the friends he had just met. Italy is good. They don''t understand English, but they all try to learn it, and occasionally they can say a word or two.


    After several rounds of conversations, when it was late at night, the guests began to say goodbye, and some were still playing with unfinished ideas. Anfeng finally reached a consensus with Austin to form a strategic partnership with Prada in terms of high-end bio-drinks, that is, at the press conference and other Forms of public places, to promote each other.


    An Feng shook hands with Ms. Prada: "The two brands have many similarities. I hope we can make progress together and have a happy cooperation!"


    "I''m glad you can say that, Mr. An." Ms. Prada''s smile was bright, but the big western nose and face made him feel like a man.


    These thoughts are naturally hidden deep in my heart. As an artist, I can understand the weirdness.


    ��


    During the few days in Milan, An Feng participated in many receptions and banquets, met friends from all walks of life, from businessmen to politicians, and even those who should be connected, donated money, supported politicians, and even met Sa The district chief of Dinia, it was a pleasure meeting him.


    District Mayor Capellaci has a very good attitude towards An Feng, probably because of Austin. He appreciated Anfeng''s promotion of local tourism: "In the current situation where the government is heavily indebted, we need more measures to stimulate the economy. Mr.''s plan and investment can change the status quo."


    "Do my best, who made me love this place!" An Feng smiled, no matter how many times he has been here, he can say whatever he wants to say anyway.


    Cappellacci is very happy: "Sardinia is one of the few beautiful and free places in Italy, and we hope that you will always love it."


    "It will definitely." An Feng said.


    An Feng paid more attention to the conversation with Capellaci, because the rights of autonomous regions are quite large. Italy��s Sicily and Sardinia are both autonomous regions. The loose autonomy made Sardinians feel that leaving Italy and joining Switzerland makes no difference , the same freedom.


    When An Feng went to inspect the private island he was rebuilding, he met Capellaci again, and continued to spend a leisurely afternoon with him, taking their wives to discuss in the restaurant, when talking about superconductor power generation and seawater desalination technology , Capellaci''s interest is also very strong.


    An Feng saw that the atmosphere was good and the other party was also interested, so he left a promise: "Mr. District Chief, I can give you some time to observe. After the two machines are running, if you are satisfied, you can contact me. I will let people and You talk about business cooperation in this regard."


    Capelage nodded: "I hope it turns out to be a surprise."


    "It will definitely." An Feng raised his glass and touched him.


    ��


    Time came to October, An Feng ended his life in Italy for half a month, and went on to another matter.


    It has been two years since Xiaobai was adopted. According to his age before adoption, he was about two years and three months old. With a good physique, excellent genes and abundant food, his body size has skyrocketed. The total length of the head and tail is 2.85 meters, and the weight reaches 200 kilograms.


    The increase in weight did not bring about bloat. It has mostly high-density muscles and bones. The density of the bones is higher than that of ordinary tigers, which means that it may be harder and heavier. Under An Feng''s training, the running speed can reach 95 kilometers per hour in an instant burst.


    It''s a pity that due to its huge size, the highest speed can only last for a short time, but it is better than the cheetah in that it is stronger and has better endurance. Equivalent to a long-distance runner.


    In addition to the usual practice with the Mechanical Leopard, its self-taught fighting skills are already very strong, whether it is an ambush, a frontal attack, or simply a strong confrontation, it is very skilled. Things have developed to the present, and it is obvious that the journey of becoming the king of beasts is still the last step.


    Real grasslands and jungles.


    Since An Feng adopted him, he planned to let him experience the real primitive environment at least once in his life. This man, no, this tiger will live his whole life, and he definitely wants to unleash his wildness to the fullest. So An Feng''s goal is Africa, and Animal Kingdom Tanzania is obviously very good.


    However, it is rare to bring large animals into and out of the country. Generally, those kittens and puppies can be carried. After inspection and quarantine, they will be packed in special cages and placed in the cargo hold. Relevant documents will be checked when entering the country. It can only be cleared and released after being approved.


    Although An Feng has always regarded Xiaobai as a big cat, he is not a cat after all.


    There are currently two difficulties: how to get out of the United States? How to enter Tanzania?


    He didn''t know much about this aspect, so he simply didn''t think about it, and left the matter to his 30-member think tank, and let the 30 heads work. If you stay in the office for a long time, your heads will get rusty...Assistant John received an After Feng broke through the conventional thinking, he knew that there was another challenge.


    The fun of the rich is always incomprehensible to them. This time it is taking a tiger to Africa to play.


    But the boss''s task must be completed, otherwise so many people will be raised to see it? As the leader of the think tank, John began to assign tasks and arrange steps. An Feng plans to set off at the end of October, or mid-November at the latest. One month is not much time, so they must hurry up.


    An Feng''s private team is very efficient. It has grown from a few people in the past to 30 now, not including the law firm composed of lawyers. What they need to do is to handle major and minor matters for An Feng. From taxation to company operations, all aspects are covered.


    An Feng is able to live such a chic life, and he doesn''t miss much in business matters. The heroes are these people. Don''t look at his usual work is very easy, it is all simplified, related or indirectly related to An Feng There are more than a dozen companies in the company, and several of them are very large companies. To be honest, John still wants to continue to recruit helpers, because there are really not enough people when it is busy.


    While An Feng''s team was busy, he received an email.


    It was sent from China, and the sender was Shang Xiong. The content said that the short-distance race held by the province had ended after several competitions. Zhou Hang lived up to expectations and won the first place. Not only was he the youngest to win the championship, he was also the youngest among all the contestants Young, featured in the local paper.


    It was also in An Feng''s expectation. He saw that Zhou Hang was very talented. After he came back, he was thinking about the issue of the racing foundation. He also got in touch with his domestic partner Wang Wei. It is most convenient to establish a racing foundation in China. As a matter of practice, large cities have many institutions.


    The only problem is the management of the foundation. An Feng is very good in the United States, and he can also mix well in Europe, but in China, he has nothing to do with other than the Wang family. In the end, he asked Wang Wei to help find or recommend a few. As an international partner, Wang Wei also attaches great importance to it and personally helped him choose it.


    After a while, An Feng flew back to China and landed in S City.


    An Feng brought several assistants to meet Wang Wei at the business club, and he was in charge of recommending him. Wang Wei recommended a man named Shi Cheng, in his thirties, of medium build, wearing a pair of business glasses and looking very elegant, with a resume It says that he studied in the UK and has a doctorate in economics... anyway, he is a talent.


    An Feng chatted with Shi Cheng for a few words, but he didn''t know much about financial operations, mainly two assistants who were very familiar with this aspect talked with him. Shi Cheng is fluent in English, and An Feng is a little confused when he uses professional terms... Finally, the assistant gave a good evaluation and passed the test professionally.


    Professionally passed the test, and the person is recommended by Wang Wei, so there will be no major problems with character. An Feng is also straightforward, and 50 million US dollars is ready to be established under the name of "Bruce Racing Foundation". In addition, a simple Council, supervise each other, prevent dictatorship.


    It will take some time to apply for a company, but big cities are fast, and if there is an agency, it should be done in a week. After An Feng informed Shang Xiong of the news, he didn''t stop, and the plane returned to California. Recently, because of the issue of letting the tiger go abroad, there are quite a lot of things.


    Although it is impossible for ordinary people to get out, it is obviously not difficult for the president to be the one who speaks. This time, he didn��t use such a high relationship. He chatted with the governor, and finally, on the grounds of funding a wildlife research institution in Africa, he also listed tigers as a research project and sent them out.


    The corresponding quarantine problem is naturally solved, but there are requirements for transportation, a special cage needs to be prepared, and an inspection is required before departure. So An Feng''s private jet couldn''t fit in it, so he found a friend who had a big plane, and the Blueline family readily lent him a Boeing 787-VIP.


    The huge cargo compartment of the Boeing 787 can even fit a car, not to mention a tiger cage. By the way, the fellow research team can carry more equipment and enjoy the VIP version of the luxurious sky palace. It is also a pleasure to change this treatment to other research teams. promised.


    It is no problem to leave the country, but entry must also be considered.


    Here, An Feng found the relationship with Bazel. He has friendship with the President of Tanzania and should be able to talk... In fact, it is very easy to talk. Bazel can confirm it in a few words, but he properly reminded An Feng to actively do something. , Meaning the inspection fee of 100,000 yuan.


    It is not a problem if it can be solved with money, and the entry procedures have also been taken care of.


    Now wait for the results of inspection and quarantine, health certificates, vaccination certificates, and personal information of pet owners. As well as the on-site immigration inspection that occurred after arriving in Tanzania, as well as a stack of US dollars wrapped by An Feng, they can be handed over to the official secretary present at that time.

 Chapter 366： Investment place [latest update]

    Chapter 366 Investment Site ��Third Watch��


    (the first update)


    ��


    The problem of Tiger going abroad is basically settled, but An Feng has other considerations.


    Since the robot company''s bionic technology has made great progress, it has met the requirements for mass production, but An Feng asked Hoffman to continue the research and development of the second generation after the first generation technology is complete. That is to say, machines that are more flexible, more streamlined, and able to accept the control of the central brain.


    What An Feng needs is what can be controlled collectively. Therefore, although the robot has made a huge breakthrough, the company is still low-key, and their goal is the second-generation robot. The company declares that its purpose is to serve the society, it does not involve any military technology, it is just an intelligent family nanny.


    Speaking so far away means that the robot is about to be mass-produced, but Anfeng has yet to find a suitable place. The pit being dug by the Texas hunting ground is counted as one. According to the original idea, more than one robot base needs to be set up. In case of any emergency, it must be mobilized in all directions.


    An Feng intends to set up a second base in Africa. On the surface, it is for industrial machine research and development, nuclear energy research and development-nuclear fusion research is not strictly controlled by the United States, because technology is difficult to achieve. But after the emergence of superconductors, confinement of thermonuclear reactions has been one step closer to success.


    Deuterium, the fuel required for thermonuclear reactions, is abundantly stored in seawater. 30 mg of deuterium can be extracted from 1 liter of seawater. Nuclear reactors are built on the seashore, and the fuel in seawater can be directly extracted. It is not appropriate to place all the considerations related to seawater extraction fuel technology and cost issues in the United States.


    After thinking about it, An Feng still thinks to put the robot industry and nuclear industry in Africa, in Tanzania, which he is more familiar with. He got in touch with the President of Tanzania through Bazel''s relationship.


    An Feng said that he wants to invest in the establishment of factories in coastal areas to engage in the research and development of smart industries, as well as clean power generation and seawater desalination technologies. The initial investment amount is about 300 million US dollars, which will bring hundreds of local jobs and drive local economic development and so on.


    Negotiations went smoothly, and Hassan was eager to have businessmen invest and pay taxes to promote local economic development. An Feng made a lot of hype, the robot army was said to be a smart industry, and nuclear energy was said to be a clean power generation... just passed the test by fooling around. Hassan welcomed this large foreign project on the phone.


    Hasan finally said: "Our land management department will assist you in finding a suitable investment location."


    "Thank you, Mr. President, I hope we can have a successful cooperation." An Feng said.


    After this matter is settled, the next step is to choose the location. The environment in Africa is not good, especially in tropical countries. It is hot all year round. The location you choose should be cooler and close to tourist areas... The coast of Zanzibar Island is good, but boring You can also go to the island for vacation.


    After having a general idea, An Feng then looked for employees who were willing to go to the local area to do scientific research.


    Everyone is still a little hesitant about going to Africa. Those who have families are unwilling to separate. Even if they can bring their families to work, the local conditions are not very good. But in the face of the opportunity of being successful and living a lifetime without worrying about food and clothing, some people are still willing. A researcher named Bill Cook from the nuclear power project team entered Anfeng''s list. He is very happy and willing to lead his research and development team to the local inspection.


    In fact, even if they go there, they are very comfortable. Naturally, they are not the ones to do the construction, let alone they can��t do it, right? At most, after the United States confirms the correctness of the technology, go to Africa to stay for half a year, command the construction team to complete the task and return to the United States.


    For the choice of construction team, Anfeng is interested in Chinese overseas construction companies. Caucasians are too lazy and charge high prices, so they will definitely not be able to do this kind of thing. China��s engineering construction is solid, no matter how bad the conditions are, as long as there is a project, they can go there Challenging and accomplished, and reasonably priced too.


    After the whole process was conceived, An Feng handed over the task to his team and asked them to plan carefully.


    In late October, An Feng went to China to participate in the establishment ceremony of the "Bruce Racing Foundation" in S City, with a capital of 300 million RMB and a staff of around 20. An Feng also invited Shang Xiong and his friends. The profit of the foundation is the responsibility of the elites, but how to choose the aid target?


    This point needs to be managed by professionals who are familiar with racing. An Feng gave Shangxiong a few part-time jobs. The salary is very good. They don��t have to come to work all day, or even half a year. They are responsible for finding and funding racing teams in need. , to spend the profits of the Foundation.


    Shang Xiong is very satisfied with this part-time job, although he will be fired if he does not do well... But at least their team has received assistance from the foundation, can prepare more parts for the car, carry out professional modification, and have funds for field practice... The goal is Participate in national competitions next year.


    After dealing with these matters, An Feng returned to California to prepare for this arduous trip to Africa.


    ��


    There are many things to do, but it was finally completed in early November.


    The team going to Africa is concentrated at Los Angeles International Airport. The domineering Boeing 787-VIP business jet of the Blueline family is ready and is currently parked in a dedicated plane for loading. The accompanying research team needs a lot of luggage, and the tiger''s big cage also needs to be used. The machinery is hoisted up.


    The tiger��s inspection went smoothly. There was an advance greeting from the state government and a signature from the animal research institution. I��m afraid that even a dinosaur would be allowed to leave the country. Luxury after fifty people capacity.


    Six stewardesses were in place, and there were quite a few guests this time, including An Feng and his wife, three assistants and five bodyguards, eight Americans who rushed to the African Animal Research Institute, and ten people from Angus Industries headed by Bill Cook. staff. After everyone arrived, the plane was ready to depart.


    Large planes take off with more procedures. Fortunately, the luxurious planes divert their attention, and they don��t feel the passage of time. They return to their seats only after hearing the sweet voice of the stewardess. The first destination of the plane is New York. If the direct flight from Los Angeles to the destination reaches more than 17,000 kilometers, even a large aircraft like the 787 cannot reach the destination at one time.


    The plane landed in New York halfway, and the whole journey is expected to take more than 20 hours, which is a challenge for passengers. Fortunately, the seats of luxury planes are all first-class specifications, and they can be put down and sleep on a half-lying position. Anfeng is more comfortable here, in addition to the room, there is also a bathroom where you can take a bath.


    When flying overhead in the United States, everyone is more excited. Go around, watch a big-screen movie, or go to a bar to have a glass of wine and listen to music. After six or seven hours, they land in New York. After waking up, An Feng passes through a dedicated channel. Come to the cargo hold and feed the tiger with food.


    Xiaobai stayed in the iron cage obediently, not used to the crowded place, when he saw An Feng, he yelled in a low voice, as if he was telling his grievances, An Feng smiled and stroked its big head: "Ren Ren just It''s over, and then you''ll have a long, long vacation."


    "Let''s eat first." An Feng threw a piece of fresh meat specially brought on the plane into the cage.


    Xiaobai seemed to understand, and when he saw the meat, he had a big appetite, and he started to bite it, and made the cage louder, protesting against these sturdy things, An Feng stayed with it for a while, and got the plane after leaving the United States. , to release it. It had to be put back on before landing.


    Two hours later the plane took off again.


    The flight attendant''s voice sounded, reporting the destination, flight distance and time, flight speed and flight altitude. I still have to fly 13,000 kilometers, and I will sleep for a long time after that. Including Xiaobai who was released, occupying a big sofa and dozing off lazily.


    An Feng adjusted the lights in the room to night, and slept in a comfortable environment. When the flight attendant''s announcement sounded, the destination was about to arrive. The flight attendant did not dare to wake up the tiger. Although it looked harmless to humans and animals, But the size is too terrifying, so he can only wake An Feng up.


    The final landing place of the plane was a city called Dar es Salaam on the coast of Tanzania. Conditions in the country''s capital are poor in all aspects. The airport cannot land 787s. Only the largest city has a long enough runway. After the plane got in touch with the control tower, it landed on the airport smoothly.


    Followed by unloading and customs inspection. In order to entertain investors from afar, the president sent special personnel to receive them. Even the tipping was handled by An Feng. After the unloading was completed, at noon, they first stayed in a local hotel.


    The eight Americans who took the downwind plane left first, and they already had a pick-up plane.


    The rest of the people go to the hotel. The local tourism conditions are not bad. Although Africa is poor, it is not a mess. This city of 6 million people is quite modern, and there are many resort hotels. The hotel An Feng stayed in claims to have the largest outdoor swimming pool in the city. You can soak in fresh water and look out at the Indian Ocean. .


    But everyone didn''t care about the swimming pool, so they took a rest early. Joanna took out the bio-drink she brought, drank a whole bottle, and then slept for an hour with the air conditioner on. When she woke up, her face was radiant and her previous vitality had been restored, and she even went for a swim in the water.


    Real work pushed to the next day.


    In the morning, An Feng took his assistant and the professional team of An''s Industry, and followed the representatives sent by the government to start looking for suitable land. As the largest city in Dar es Salaam and an important port in East Africa, many foreign materials are loaded and unloaded here, with a high level of industry.


    The environment is quite good. There are ports and airports that can dock large planes. It is very convenient for future cargo transportation. It is only 50 to 60 kilometers away from Zanzibar Island. The tourist environment is also very good... After a day of investigation, I will accompany you Professionals recommend the city''s southern coast.


    "The land in that area is flat, surrounded by excellent beaches, the sea is green, and there are roads nearby. The environment is quiet and suitable for investment." The receptionist of the government said kindly. It doesn''t matter how green it is.


    The experts of An��s Industry had a relatively high evaluation, and finally Anfeng also decided that they needed an industrial park with a coastline of one kilometer and a total area of ??about 800 acres, mainly for the development of smart industries, the construction of thermonuclear reactors and seawater. Desalination plant.


    The government is naturally happy. Such a large piece of land has to pay a lot of taxes every year. If there are business activities, corporate income tax and other taxes must also be paid. Besides, it will stimulate local jobs, which will bring a lot of economic benefits and increase GDP. There is also a lot of help.


    An Feng handed over the matter to the three assistants and the professionals present, who made plans, calculated investment funds, and negotiated with the government. As for An Feng, he was naturally not in the mood to participate in the lip service and financial calculations. He only needs the final result, and if he is satisfied, he will sign the contract.


    Then he can prepare to walk the tiger.

 Chapter 367： The Tiger Down the Mountain (Part 1)

    Chapter 367 The Tiger Descends the Mountain (Part 1)


    An Feng went to the private reserve that afternoon.


    There were five bodyguards accompanying him. Considering the dangers he had encountered in Africa before, An Feng was more cautious about his own life. This time, he chose Bazel''s private domain mainly for convenience, and tourists are not allowed in the private area. Come in casually, so that the tiger can move more freely.


    It was Kyle who picked them up last time.


    After An Feng sent Tiger to the plane, he chatted with Kyle.


    Chatted and learned that Kyle is a European. He once served in the Air Force and drove a fighter jet. After retiring, he gave up the better life in Europe and came here to drive a civilian aircraft. It is said that he likes the primitiveness and nature of this land. An Feng admires his mentality of living freely, but disagrees.


    The takeoff was noisy and turbulent. Fortunately, Kyle��s background gave the passengers a lot of confidence. After the plane took off and leveled off, it returned to stability. The altitude was slightly higher than the clouds, and the earth below was clearly visible. After leaving the city, a wave of primitiveness and roughness struck.


    November is no longer the peak tourist season, but An Feng''s goal is to stagger the peak season. He doesn''t want Xiaobai to go out for some activities and be surrounded by tour buses. He wanted it to fight with lions and elephants. It''s better not to let too many people see this kind of instigation.


    An hour and a half later, the plane landed in the Manyara area.


    The airstrip made of mud is very challenging for people''s psychological quality. An Feng and Joanna are already familiar with it, but they just put on their seat belts silently. The five bodyguards who accompanied him had different expressions, some were staring at him with wide eyes, some were holding on to their seat belts, and their expressions were all in place.


    The landing was very bumpy, but Kyle skillfully brought him back to a stable position. He slid a certain distance on the runway and stopped safely. Many people crossed their chests... An Feng took Joanna off the plane and was dizzy Xiaobai, who was sick, also jumped down, and a wave of heat hit.


    Joanna had already applied the highest level of sunscreen on the plane, and immediately put on a breathable jacket after getting off, and kept her sunglasses on for 24 hours. The power of the sun near the equator is not covered, tanning is luck, and it is common for unprepared tourists to get sunburned.


    The private park sent three vehicles to pick them up, two for people and one for tigers. The driver of the car was a local black man. There are no tigers in Africa. Naturally, the black man has never been in contact with it. He has only heard about it. Seeing it with his own eyes, Xiao Bai''s size shocked everyone.


    The Bengal tiger is at the forefront of the tiger body. Xiaobai''s superior life has allowed him to have a body length of nearly 3 meters and a weight of 200 kilograms. This physique is larger than many wild lions, but its head is heavier than the front end. Male lions are much smaller, and the eyes of natural hunters are very intimidating.


    In terms of body shape, the tiger has more smooth lines and evenly distributed body weight, unlike the big head of a lion that drags down its overall body, and the tiger''s fur is shiny and feels very good to the touch, but no one dares to touch it now scary creature.


    Even the driver responsible for transporting the tiger is a little panicked now.


    He originally thought that tigers were relatively small, like leopards, and that they were more docile in captivity, but he didn''t expect a beast that was bigger than a lion to jump out of the plane, and he couldn''t see much friendliness on his body. The eyes and pointed long canines are very ferocious and frightening.


    An Feng took a little patience to explain to the driver, and finally ensured that he would be the co-pilot, and the tiger was lying in the back, before he nodded with lingering fear. An Feng opened the rear door, scratched the skin on the back of Xiaobai''s head, and motioned for him to get in the car, and Xiaobai jumped on it nimbly.


    The convoy came to the scenic hotel invested by Bazel.


    At this time, there were no guests in the hotel, the lobby was very quiet, flies were flying, and the waiters were dozing off, but when a big, strong black-striped cat came in, they immediately became refreshed��some people almost wanted to jump on the table, The big guy has a strong aura.


    An Feng shook his head and smiled. From the current point of view, Xiaobai gave him a long face. What he wants is this effect, so that African people can see the ferocious hunters living far away in Asia. The following days will also bring great shocks, allowing grassland creatures to see this fierce foreign visitor.


    ��


    The next day they started their journey.


    The resident expert of the park, Darwin, whom I met last time, is also very interested in the tigers on the African land, and gave them a lot of advice. He also provided an ankle ring with GPS positioning function, which was put on Xiaobai''s hind legs , much lighter than a collar and will not affect movement.


    Draw out another area and let Xiaobai move around in the private area first.


    Anfeng has also prepared a lot of things here, first of all, GPS signal receiver and map, unmanned aerial vehicle and receiving display port, which is convenient for observing Xiaobai at a closer distance, and secondly, there are necessary telescopes, shotguns and medicines, And heavily armed bodyguards.


    The back row of the tiger is very crowded. This time, the park transferred a pickup truck to transport animals, removed the iron cage, and let the tiger sit in the back. It is spacious enough and easy to get on and off the car. An Feng trained Xiaobai in front of everyone, and within a minute he knew how to quickly get on and off the pickup truck.


    After getting ready, the four vehicles set off.


    Entering the private park and coming to a yellow and boundless grassland, the convoy stopped, Xiaobai jumped off the pickup truck, and officially stepped into this strange and wild land. It was very careful after getting out of the car, turning around the convoy first, sniffing. Everyone watched it quietly.


    "The tiger and the African savannah are really exciting." Darwin said, even if a tiger was transported by air before, there was no Xiaobai who was so obedient.


    Xiaobai already knows that now is the time for him to move freely.


    Facing an unfamiliar land, it is very cautious, and first familiarizes itself with the surroundings and the location of its two masters. In its consciousness, this is the last bastion, and it can run back for help if it is injured. But out of the tiger''s pride, the environment makes his blood boil, especially the creatures lurking around him.


    Tigers have excellent vision and hearing. After genetic modification, Xiaobai also has a very strong sense of smell. What he can see, hear or smell is beyond the reach of humans. From a distance, it found antelopes, wildebeests and monkeys in the vicinity, as well as birds inhabiting around.


    After getting familiar with it, Xiaobai started to move.


    Although its body color does not match the African savannah, this does not affect it being an excellent hunter.


    The convoy also followed slowly. Xiaobai found many interesting animals that he had never seen before. The types of wild animals on the African savannah are not comparable to the zoo. After walking around, you can find that the scenery is everywhere as long as you are careful. Xiaobai is also immersed in freedom and comfort.


    It was followed by two quadrotor aircraft above its head. An Feng in the car stared at the screen displayed on the tablet, which was very clear. Xiaobai was also carefully exploring under the camera. Twenty creatures, but it''s always kept a low profile.


    An Feng took the aircraft back and said, "It is getting familiar with the environment, wait a minute."


    Xiaobai is indeed getting familiar with the environment. Although the surrounding animals are big and small, he has never seen them before, and he is not sure. He has to find something that is beneficial to him. Finally, he found a source of water nearby. It was a lake. It hadn''t rained for a long time this season, and the animals were very thirsty.


    Xiaobai knows that hiding nearby can increase his chances of finding prey.


    It is very smart, using the weeds near the water to approach it quietly, and found the first batch of ideal, perhaps somewhat beyond ideal targets��the African buffalo.


    The head and head are black, with curved horns, and the extremely strong creature has an average weight of 600 kilograms, which is three times that of it! When the herd is furious, even the lion can only back away, but now Xiaobai is targeting the group of creatures that put him under pressure.


    It''s not a hunt, it''s a challenge.


    Out of caution, it chose an aging buffalo. Although its nature is bold, it will also measure the gap between itself and its prey, and choose the most suitable means to attack... The aircraft in the sky is shooting, and everyone is watching quietly. It leaned down and approached quietly, with slight movements, like a tabby cat... When it came to the back of the buffalo, it launched a sudden attack, covering a distance of six or seven meters in the blink of an eye. It turned over and bit the buffalo''s throat from below. A few sharp canine teeth bit the buffalo''s skin in an instant.


    Because of its pounce strategy, the buffalo fell to the ground unexpectedly, and a surprising discussion sounded on the radio station. It just grasped the speed, movement and timing with incomparable precision, as if it had been rehearsed countless times. I can''t believe it''s the first time I''ve encountered a buffalo.


    However, technology cannot make up for lack of experience.


    Usually buffaloes are in herds, with a strong collective consciousness. It is very difficult for a single hunter to hunt buffaloes, even male lions will not do so casually. This time Xiaobai had to face more than forty enraged buffaloes in addition to his prey. Under the leadership of the herd leader, he forced the tiger.


    They tried to drive away the creature they had never seen before and save their companions.


    But Xiaobai, who was confident in himself and full of challenge awareness, did not give up. While biting the throat of the struggling buffalo, he roared threateningly to the herd. The unknown faced the unknown, and the buffalo hesitated a little. They found that although their opponent was not a lion, they were even stronger.


    In the blink of an eye, there was still a bold buffalo rushing up. The huge size created a strong sense of oppression. Xiaobai finally let go and chose to avoid it. The buffalo gained the upper hand. When he thought it would retreat like a lion, Xiaobai actually circled and rushed over, biting Another buffalo thigh.


    After the cows turned back, it quickly avoided, and then played the game of cat and mouse, and continued to provoke other buffaloes... The humans watching were shocked. The tiger met the buffalo, and it would be a completely different scene from the lion��its retreat was just In order to grasp a better angle of attack.


    A dozen or so gathered, Xiaobai gasped for breath but was fine, while five or six of the buffaloes had already been injured, and blood kept coming out from their backs and thighs. The buffaloes that Xiaobai threw down just now had stopped breathing, and Xiaobai was aggressively provoking them.


    The irascible herd meets a terrifying foe they''ve never seen before.


    Its size is not weaker than that of a lion, and it has the upper hand in terms of skill and bravery. Eventually the buffalo herd abandoned their dead companions and retreated away from the area. This unknown creature made them unpredictable, and also frightened many calves.


    Xiaobai let out a mighty tiger roar, announcing the victory of this battle.


    If the people watching were not concerned about the environment, they would have stood up and applauded and cheered. This scene was really exciting. Xiaobai showed off the intelligence, bravery and top-notch hunting skills of the tiger. In just a few minutes, he scared away all the lions. A herd that dare not face alone.

 Chapter 368： Tiger down the mountain (Part 2)

    Chapter 368 The Tiger Descends the Mountain (Part 2)


    After Xiaobai killed the buffalo, he began to enjoy the delicious food.


    Although he had eaten meat in the morning, An Feng kept him half full at most in order to keep him in good condition. He usually had three meals at home, which was very regular, but now it was different. An Feng tried to give it a simulated natural environment. After the meal, there will be no meals served on time in the future.


    While Xiaobai was eating meat happily, others were discussing what happened just now, or watching the video captured by An Feng. Seen from the air, the scene of the tiger culling the buffalo is even more intense, with mud and water splashing, blood and minced meat flying across, and the fierce battle explains what a beast is.


    After watching the video, Darwin said: "If it is made into a video and spread out, it will definitely shock everyone. Mr. An, have you considered it?"


    An Feng said: "Record it first, and I will think about it after the trip."


    An Feng also hopes to let everyone know about this very memorable moment, but he must pay attention to the impact. He does not want to be said to deliberately bring well-trained tigers here to hunt wild animals in Africa. This is a big hat, maybe it will be sprayed by animal protection organizations.


    While they were discussing, a vulture hovered overhead.


    On the grassland, every hunt will inevitably be noticed by other predators. The vultures are waiting for the tigers to eat, and the circling vultures also attract several hyenas that are moving nearby. They found food. A buffalo that is strong enough . Now being eaten by...a larger leopard.


    Although the judgment was wrong, the hyena still prefers to **** the leopard''s prey. The four hyenas made weird calls, one to provoke Xiaobai, and the other to call their companions around them. They are not at all afraid of the larger "leopards", approaching and intending to **** food.


    Xiaobai looked up at the guy with malicious intentions. In his consciousness, he was usually the only one who took the initiative to provoke others, but now there are a few little ones approaching him, grinning and looking for trouble? Out of the dignity of the tiger, it rushed out when it was full and gave them a deep experience.


    With one overwhelming paw, Xiaobai swept away the nearest hyena. It was this attack that made the hyenas understand the huge gap between tigers and leopards. It was a terrifying opponent that hyenas had never encountered before. Its explosive strength is the same level as that of a lion''s top hunter.


    The hyenas retreated, but they were not reconciled. Even the lions had cases of successfully snatching their prey.


    The hyena continued to call for his companions, and Xiaobai stayed unafraid, sitting on the ground and licking his paws, quietly waiting for the helper to be called. The unmanned aerial vehicle photographed hyenas appearing around one after another. According to Darwin, this group of hyenas is the largest in number in the vicinity, with a scale of fifty or sixty.


    Soon, after Xiaobai finished licking the two paws that were enough to disembowel the hyena, the relatives and friends of the hyena also approached. There were about twenty of them, and the buffalo was very attractive to them. Lure-temptation, they want to challenge unknown creatures acting alone.


    After the arrival of the hyena, Xiaobai took the initiative to launch a long-awaited offensive.


    It shows the terrifying fighting power of the tiger, especially the tiger that has undergone targeted training and is well-balanced in all aspects. As long as the position is right, the rough-skinned and thick-skinned hyena can slap the tiger''s claws, and there is even a hyena He vomited blood directly.


    Xiaobai is extremely brave, but there are more and more hyenas around him, up to forty or fifty. The group''s attack in turn has already posed a great threat to the tiger. It is inevitable that you will be weak, expose your weaknesses, and fall into the disadvantaged.


    There were hyena bite scars on it, and a hyena boldly wanted to bite its throat. Unfortunately, this kind of thought was no different from provoking a male lion. In the end, it was bitten off by Xiao Bai with his mouth wide open. In the next section, the muscles and bones are drooping and connected.


    The hyena attacked frantically and did not retreat. Xiaobai finally understood that although he was strong, he would definitely be injured if he was alone. After weighing it, he ran away quickly, away from the hyena. He just glanced back unwillingly, this is the first time it has been "snatched by the tiger''s mouth".


    Although the tiger retreated, it also left behind seven hyena carcasses and more than a dozen injured hyenas. The fight with the tiger caused heavy losses to the hyenas, and the fighting power of the group plummeted...Xiaobai returned to Anfeng, and the fight just now was on his body Leaving wounds of varying shades.


    Joanna looked at Xiaobai with concern: "It''s hurt, it''s bleeding."


    "Let it come back." An Feng said, real experience is one thing, but he didn''t intend to let his pet fend for itself.


    Xiaobai jumped onto the back of the pickup truck and retreated with injuries all over his body.


    ��


    Tigers have a strong recovery ability. After taking medicine and resting overnight, they will be alive and well the next day.


    Xiao Bai looked at the prairie outside the window, full of longing. An Feng continued to give it a vacation. Facts have proved that the term "vacation" is absolutely correct. Tigers are different from lions. They are aggressive and arrogant. They cannot tolerate creatures that can threaten them to live around their territories.


    The next few days proved that when Xiaobai was chasing other prey and showing its perfect speed and body, he was also waiting for the opportunity to hunt down the group of hyenas that made him embarrassed.


    No one noticed at first, but when it encountered a group of hyenas again, the strange behavior of the past few days became clearer.


    It moves around, looking for scents to track down this group of opponents!


    An Feng used the aircraft to photograph the surrounding hyenas, and Xiao Bai borrowed the cover of withered and yellow weeds to slowly approach.


    "Sure enough, it didn''t give up!" An Feng said.


    Xiaobai met the hyena again. In the morning, he had killed six antelopes in a row. In the afternoon, he was full of energy and spent his time on how to conquer the opponent. It showed its stealth skills and quietly approached the group of hyenas. Under everyone''s breathless attention, it did not move.


    Darwin''s voice came: "Maybe it is looking for the leader of the hyena!"


    Capture the thief first and capture the king first! In the previous encounter, Xiaobai found the leader who commanded the hyena. This time, he observed the surroundings first, and after confirming a certain target, he launched a charge. No one��except An Feng and Joanna��had ever seen the leader of the hyena. Such a fast tiger!


    It is about 70 to 80 meters away from the hyena group, and it explodes at a speed no less than that of a cheetah. What is even more shocking is that it is a big guy weighing 200 kilograms. It can explode at this speed and continue, It can be imagined that it completely suppresses all predators in terms of speed.


    The running tiger spends almost half of its time in the air, stretching its limbs as much as possible, each time its hind legs land precisely where the front legs stepped, and its spine dances like waves. It can''t be done anyway.


    In a few seconds, it overtook the hyena.


    Xiaobai is like a cannonball, rushing over, bumping into its target, and rolling forward together, its mouth has already bit off the opponent''s throat on the way, and then dragged five or six meters away, when the hyenas reacted, their The leader is already whining and mourning, and the situation has taken a turn for the worse.


    Xiao Bai stopped to face them, let out a roar that resounded through the grassland, and stared at the twenty or so hyenas around him.


    The hyenas obviously also remembered the creature that had crippled them a few days ago. In the eyes of the hyenas, it brought more pressure than the lions. Although the lion is also very ferocious, it does not seek trouble on purpose, but the tiger now is very scheming and follows you for several days in a row just to get revenge.


    After some confrontation, the hyena''s mentality collapsed and lost the backbone of the leader. When they were frightened, they rushed away. Xiaobai chased after them symbolically, and they ran faster...an animal expert who specially came here with a camera They were also shocked by this scene.


    Some people have brought tigers to Africa for experiments before, but they have never encountered such a fierce and arrogant tiger. It has proved the king of the jungle with its own strength, and it is also the king of the grassland. What it has to do is far more than that, the situation of this grassland has changed suddenly.


    ��


    In addition to his majestic side, Xiaobai also has funny moments.


    For example, it provoked a buffalo. After being chased in turn, it ran into an ostrich. It was the first time it encountered such a creature. Out of curiosity, it chased after it, and the ostrich naturally ran away. We all know that ostriches can run very fast, and Xiaobai, who was full, patiently chased them for more than ten kilometers.


    Anyway, it has been chasing from the private park to the national park outside, and stopped after knocking down an ostrich. It doesn''t eat it, just look at it. Everyone feels that Xiaobai is like a child. He likes to play, likes to make trouble, and has a strong curiosity. When encountering strange things, he has to find out.


    Later it met a leopard.


    Leopards are very familiar to Xiaobai��but this is the first time he has seen a living leopard. When it saw it at the time, it probably thought it was Xiaohua coming, and when it ran over happily, the leopard bared its teeth and growled. Xiaobai paused, responded with the growl, and launched a chase.


    The leopard naturally lost to this beast, which overwhelmed itself in terms of size, strength, and speed. It came up with a unique trick��climbing a tree. This is usually a trick to avoid hyenas or lions, but it never thought that tigers can''t climb trees and only exist in fairy tales.


    In fact, Xiaobai''s climbing speed is no slower than that of the leopard. If the leopard could talk, it must be swearing violently, but now it is too late. It ran to the tree, and the tiger also chased it. The leopard took advantage of its weight , moved to the thin branch, and when Xiaobai came over, he fell down.


    It is too heavy, and the thin tree trunk can''t support the body at all. Although it hurts to fall from the sky, it is a big cat after all, and it falls smoothly just like a kitten. Follow it and watch the scenery under the tree. The leopard hiding in the tree is probably about to cry, who the **** brought the monster!


    But Xiaobai just wanted to play with the "living little flower", but unfortunately it didn''t show face and hid in a tree. After watching each other for more than an hour, Xiaobai was attracted by the nearby Peng Peng and gave up his good partner. Run after the warthog. The leopard on the tree licked its paw, finally heaving a sigh of relief.


    Everyone watching with the car laughed, feeling like they were going on an adventure with their children.


    But apart from these easy solutions, Xiaobai finally faced the species that dominates the grassland��the lion.


    In the past few days, Xiaobai��s activities have been controlled away from the lions, in order to avoid conflicts between the two parties, and also to give Xiaobai time to prepare. But now he has run too far, and has left the private park, stepped into the vast national park, and encountered the lions nearby.


    Maybe it was the intuition of the beast, but Xiaobai''s vigilance returned instantly.

 Chapter 369： Get it done [three more]

    Chapter 369 Done


    (second update)


    ��


    As a tiger with outstanding intelligence, it is aware of the danger. It played with the leopard because it knew that this creature could not pose a threat to it. It also knew that the buffalo would rarely attack on its own initiative when fighting the buffalo. When it meets a group of lions, it feels threatened by itself.


    Joanna asked, "Call it back?"


    An Feng is also undecided. This may be a glorious moment for Xiaobai. When he meets an opponent who can match him, he may also encounter danger. Don''t worry about fighting the Lion alone. Xiaobai is very strong, and he can run if he can''t. But would a pride with a male lion and five or six female lions do it?


    A voice also came from Darwin''s side: "Are you sure to let it pass?"


    An Feng looked at Xiaobai who was eager to try. The lions are quite difficult to find. There are usually tourists watching, and it is impossible for the tiger to provoke him openly. It kind of destroys the ecological balance... After thinking about it, the figure of Xiaobai moving forward moved him. He nodded: "Let it try."


    Darwin said: "Okay, we will shoot this scene, and get the gun ready. Once your pet is invincible, we can fire a warning shot to the sky."


    Xiaobai is now facing the lions, about 60 meters away.


    The eyesight of animals is very good, this distance is enough to observe carefully, and the unmanned aerial vehicle in the sky is also taking pictures. Xiaobai and the lions looked at each other. In terms of weight, Xiaobai was not much different from male lions, but his body was longer, and his strong muscles were more explosive.


    The majesty of the male lion cannot be challenged. It stared at the tiger in warning, and several female lions followed the male lion. However, in view of some cases of lions fighting in the past, when the stray male lion wants to win a mate, it is always a male lion VS male The lion and the lioness are in charge of watching the show, and whoever wins in the end will get the woman.


    The situation is similar this time. Although Xiaobai does not have a thick mane and is only a tigress, its shape is enough for a male lion to treat it as an equal opponent. The confrontation between the two sides was full of gunpowder. The lion took a few steps forward and let out a low growl, which was undoubtedly a warning.


    Xiaobai is not afraid at all, the muscles around its mouth are stretched, its head is slightly lowered, its canine teeth are slightly exposed, and it looks domineering. It also moved forward to get a closer look at the threatening creature. At this time, the surrounding lionesses were either lying on their stomachs or squatting, showing no intention of participating in the fight.


    An Feng breathed a sigh of relief. If it was many-to-one, Xiaobai must be at a disadvantage.


    The male lion and the female tiger were already very close, almost to the point of facing each other. At that moment, Xiao Bai, who couldn''t hold back, moved first. It rushed in front of the male lion and stood upright. The male lion did the same, standing upright. Accompanied by the roar, he opened his mouth to bite his opponent''s throat.


    The agility of the tiger is reflected. Xiaobai does not approach and bite foolishly. It uses its flexible and strong claws to slap the opponent with its two front paws like a noble and glamorous cat fighting. The action is like boxing, left and right The paws slapped the lion''s head in turn.


    Xiaobai''s movements are fast and accurate, even professional boxers can''t do it so quickly. It took a few seconds for its front paws to hit the opponent''s head in the air, and it punched the lion at least six or seven times with its left and right fists. The guy fell to the ground, and the lion''s head was hit hard and fell to the ground.


    The male lion has never experienced this kind of fighting style. The fight with other male lions is head-to-head, claw to claw, mouth to mouth. The bulky front part of the body makes them unable to dodge or bite flexibly. In the round, Xiaobai beat him severely with his claws.


    The paw''s slapping force seems very light, but Xiaobai smashed several boxing bags wrapped in Kevlar fiber at Anfeng''s house. It is conceivable that if it hits someone, it will definitely result in bruises. . But the lion''s physique is very strong, and there has been no blood these few times.


    After the lion was beaten to the ground, Xiaobai stretched out his paws to test the opponent, but it jumped up with a roar, and opened its mouth to bite Xiaobai''s throat. Xiaobai backed away like lightning, the distance the lion pounced on was a bit short, and it missed the opponent with its fangs and claws, Xiaobai immediately leaped to meet him.


    But this time the male lion moved very quickly. Its claws that swept out hit Xiao Bai''s neck. Naturally, the strength of the male lion should not be underestimated. The leaping Xiao Bai fell to one side, and the male lion chased after him , but for a nimble tiger, falling to the ground does not mean that it is weak. When the lion pounced, it flicked its body, opened its mouth and bit the lion''s chin, and the tiger''s claws quickly pressed on the lion''s neck.


    The male lion failed to attack and retreated to avoid the attack.


    Xiaobai rolled up easily and stood up, proudly showing the flexibility and flexibility of his body in front of the lion. Following the angry lion, he opened his mouth again and charged. Leaving the ground, it rushed towards the lion, lowered its head in the air, bit the lion''s neck, and fell to the side of the lion. The front half of its body was already pressed on the lion''s back. It dragged back vigorously, and the lion crashed fell to the ground.


    The male lion fell to the ground, and was bitten by the back of the neck by the bent-legged tiger. The tiger''s lower plate was stable and its movements were neat, which was already the standard posture for subduing its prey.


    Xiaobai pressed the lion on the ground and bit it hard. The canine teeth had bitten through the skin. The lion felt the threat to his life. He exploded with crazy strength, and his weight had a slight advantage. The lion finally broke free from the tiger''s mouth and took several steps back one after another. Xiaobai rushed over, and after the lion roared, he turned around and ran away.


    The male lion is indeed no match for Xiaobai. I am afraid that it is a wild Bengal tiger, which has an advantage in fighting with a male lion, not to mention Xiaobai who has been specially trained to box, has outstanding physical strength, and can use his clever head. When the lion runs, it chases after it. Such a fun opponent cannot be let go.


    The result is that the male lion calls the female lion very spinelessly to fight side by side.


    The lioness also noticed that this monster was not a lion. If it was a male lion, the lioness might have thrown herself into a more courageous embrace now, but it was an unknown creature. Out of the vigilance and fear of animals, they We can only unite and fight against our opponents together.


    Darwin''s voice sounded: "You better let it come back!"


    An Feng didn''t hesitate, it''s no problem to single out two or three lions, but now there are seven lions, no matter how fierce Xiaobai is, he has not developed to the level of an iron king... He rushed up to beat one female lion, and roared back the other The lioness killed a lioness and bit the rear of the male with its back, and the surrounding lionesses also attacked.


    An Feng picked up the loudspeaker: "Come back!"


    Shouted a few times, Xiaobai, who was caught in the scuffle, couldn''t get away immediately. The team here quickly fired shots into the sky. After the lions were disturbed, Xiaobai got a chance to escape, and slipped away with oil on his feet. There have been many scars on its body, many of which were caught by its claws, but the other party was also uncomfortable. The neck and hind legs of the male lion were covered with blood, and several female lions were also injured. bite.


    Xiaobai ran back in embarrassment, followed by several female lions chasing after him, and the angry male lion also chased him.


    An Feng hurriedly said: "Drive the pickup truck!"


    Xiaobai''s goal is to fight behind the pickup truck, and the lions are chasing after him. It explodes and runs wildly. After opening the distance by more than ten meters, Xiaobai jumps a little far away from the pickup truck, and falls behind after covering a distance of nearly eight meters. fight on.


    This terrifying jumping ability is also beyond the reach of opponents.


    Xiaobai landed on the back of the pickup truck and rolled to lose his strength. The lions chasing him could only watch the car speed up and leave. They roared to the sky a few times to express their anger. Xiaobai panted, not to be outdone roared to the sky. This thrilling battle ended wonderfully.


    ��


    In the following time, Xiaobai provoked everyone he could.


    It can act as a shepherd dog, chasing zebras or antelopes on the grassland unrestrainedly, or as a predator killer, opening its mouth to take away crocodiles basking in the sun on the shore, or even provoking elephants, jumping up and wanting to bite The giraffe''s neck... the grassland becomes its playground.


    The team in charge of the shooting was constantly surprised, and there were wonderful shots almost every day. This tiger was about to annoy all the ferocious animals on the prairie. Anyway, the place where it appeared was never peaceful, and it also had a bit of feline love for play. eats, but likes to tease its prey.


    An Feng also kept it in a semi-stocking state. What to do, of course, must be within the jurisdiction of the law. After all, it is an exotic species. It is good to hunt and kill rare species once. The frequency is frequent, and the government is not easy to explain. Guests have to be aware of destructive power.


    An Feng assured the film crew to take Xiaobai out, while he paid attention to the investment.


    According to the situation reported by the assistant, whether it is buying land or building factories, there is no big problem. The only thing is the nuclear industry. The local government is a little worried. They are worried about such things as radiation, radioactive substances or other pollution... Many concepts are heard from the outside world .


    An Feng said: "Have you explained to them what nuclear fusion is?"


    The assistant replied: "We talked, but the other party didn''t quite understand the difference between fission and fusion, so they decided it was Chernobyl."


    An Feng was also helpless, not afraid that the reason could not be explained clearly, but that the other party did not understand at all.


    Nuclear fusion is the clean energy of the future. The raw materials it uses are clean and clean, such as deuterium, which is a very light element. Only heavy elements can decay and become radioactive. The reaction process is also different, heavy splitting, light fusion, the reduced mass is converted into energy, fission will produce radiation, of course there are some latter, but the neutrons confined by the magnetic field are relatively easy to control.


    In the more advanced thermonuclear reaction using helium-3, neutrons will not be produced, and it is completely clean, even if it is placed in the center of the city. But now Anfeng can''t make such an advanced one. He only uses deuterium and tritium to react, and uses a magnetic field to confine the neutrons produced by the reaction.


    An Feng can only say: "Let more educated people from their country discuss this business."


    "This is the current plan." The assistant said.


    An Feng waited for a few more days, and went out every day to turn on the air conditioner in the car, watching Xiaobai provoke other creatures, and he didn''t have to worry about it later, anyway, it knew how to protect itself, and if it couldn''t do it, it would run to the human side. stocking. An Feng took Joanna to change the environment.


    Two days later, the results of the negotiations came.


    There are still elites in this country, and they know the advantages of nuclear fusion, but out of prudence, the government asked Anfeng to set up two sites, one is an ordinary industrial zone, and the other is a nuclear industrial base farther away from the city. Any accident can also quickly stop working.


    An Feng accepted the compromise.


    Although I have confidence in my own technology, the most suitable clean energy is currently helium-3. How many of these are there? There is very little on the earth, and it has to be refined by burning money. The moon has the most, and it is in the soil, everywhere. As long as he can go to space in the future, let the robot hollow out the moon.


    The end result is that the land budget has an extra five million dollars, and the extra part goes into the pockets of officials, and then they become easy to talk, support this clean energy, and suddenly a lot of advanced words come out of their mouths... An Feng understands, **** is still old and spicy.


    But at least it was paid for. Next, you can contact Chinese overseas construction companies and prepare to negotiate business. An Feng also gave a plan, the intelligent industry plus the nuclear industry, the five-year period, the investment is estimated to reach about 5 billion US dollars, not an exaggeration, only the production of robots is an exaggeration.


    At present, the world has invested more than 100 billion U.S. dollars in research on thermonuclear reactions. An Feng skipped this step directly. He already has a perfect plan in his head, so the budget is mostly used for construction. The technology of nuclear reactors requires advanced industrial technology. Here is The most expensive place.

 Chapter 370： too much money

    Chapter 370 Too Much Money


    After the troubles of investment and construction are settled, An Feng will engage in political relations.


    This time, President Hassan gave a lot of help whether it was bringing a tiger for vacation or investing in construction. To express his gratitude, Anfeng was invited to participate in the foreign investment reception, and had a drink with other foreign businessmen who had the idea to invest in Tanzania. , eat a buffet, and connect with each other.


    This set is probably learned from the West. The reception is very Westernized and mostly male. They have reached a consensus with government officials on some investments and plans, and they may also be reaching some kind of agreement secretly. I don''t know the details, anyway, An Feng lost some blood in this incident.


    At the end of November, the 20-day journey in Tanzania came to an end.


    An Feng gave Xiaobai plenty of vacation, allowing him to enjoy the real originality, and the following film crew also captured many precious shots. After the filming is finished, it is cutting, preparing to show the audience a tiger at close range, how to use its superb hunting skills to live in the African grassland.


    After the documentary was broadcast, it attracted a lot of attention. Since ancient times, the debate about who is stronger between tigers and lions has never stopped, and some people have brought tigers to Africa. Whether it is hunting skills or methods, tigers are obviously better at this, and Xiaobai is even more outstanding.


    In the documentary, Xiaobai provokes the herd of cattle, fights with the lions, and single-handedly confronts the elephant... Countless rare and classic shots remind people of this robust Bengal tiger and explain its strength. On the African grasslands, only groups can threaten it.


    A single opponent is hardly a threat. Only a herd of lions and elephants can restrain it. Even a single elephant, Xiaobai has a way to make it run away, let alone smaller animals. The demeanor of the predator at the top of the food chain left a deep impression on the grassland creatures.


    In order to accompany it, both An Feng and Joanna sacrificed. One was tanned and the other was tanned. On the third day after arriving in Africa, the accompanying bodyguards decisively threw away their suits. It is also a red lobster. But when it comes to life in the grassland, I don��t regret it. I can have an amazing adventure in my life, and I can go hunting with tigers at close range. What else can I complain about?


    But the image was indeed a bit too much, Joanna insisted not to go out, and waited for her to recover. An Feng also had to take some time to adjust. From November to the new year, they all stayed at home honestly. Even the shooting show in Texas only participated in the opening ceremony.


    The shooting exhibition has added shells, which is more lively than before. An Feng personally experienced mortars and old towed guns. Judging from the number of tourists on the scene, this shooting exhibition was very successful. The sturdy Dezhou people liked it very much. The passionate outdoors.


    After the new year passed, Joanna was finally satisfied with her wheat-colored skin, and began to look for ways to enjoy the new year. They followed the Queen''s cruise ship and participated in the carnival trip at sea. The cruise ship also made careful preparations for the arrival of the hostess, reopening the room that had been idle for half a year.


    The suite on the top floor is for private use, and it is only open to the ship owner and important friends. It is really not used a few times a year. Except for the first voyage last year, they used it once, and once in the middle of the year. People can appreciate the luxury of the top floor.


    It is a bit wasteful to be idle, but An Feng is not short of this money, he likes to be empty.


    This is the second time I use it now, the room is cleaned regularly, and it is spotless, and corresponding adjustments have been made according to the preferences of the guests, such as Joanna''s living habits, what she likes to eat, her taste preferences, and even the temperature of the bath water. Exquisite and dignified.


    Lie down on the golden sand as soft as flour, the sunshade above the head blocks the light, there is a juice drink in hand, take a sip comfortably, and then look at the various characters on the beach, the bikini beauties who are lively in the shallow water area, it is indeed visual enjoyment and freedom attitude towards life.


    An Feng half-lyed down to **** the juice, and occasionally looked at the people around him. The wet Roger came, sat on the recliner next to him, called the waiter to come over, ordered a glass of juice, dried his body with a towel, and imitated An Feng. With a lazy look, Feng adjusted the recliner and sat down in a half-lying position.


    "Not interested in swimming?" Roger said casually.


    "I have had enough sun in Africa." An Feng said without raising his eyelids, "Now I always use high-protection sunscreen to protect my skin."


    "It can be seen." Roger looked at the beauties on the beach, "This kind of life is really good, but it''s almost over."


    "Are you going to die?" An Feng looked at the beach, "Don''t worry, I will help Miranda find a good man."


    Roger looked at him speechless for a while, An Feng smiled: "Hey! I was just joking!"


    Roger said: "I mean, I want to end the current state of freedom. I have successfully proposed a few days ago, and the wedding will be held in about three months."


    "Congratulations!" An Feng said with a smile, "After a long run, I finally reached the finish line!"


    "It just feels a little weird," Roger said.


    An Feng said with the mentality of someone who has experienced it: "Didn''t you just add a ring and a promise to the current relationship? I think you have been together for so many years and have not separated, which is enough to prove that there is mutual attraction in it, which can keep you together for a lifetime. Otherwise, now It��s time to follow whomever.��


    Roger nodded: "That''s right, it''s time for me to live a stable life."


    "Remember to organize a bachelor party." An Feng clinked glasses with him. It used to be Roger Zhang Luo''s bachelor party, and this time it was finally his turn to be the protagonist.


    Roger smiled: "It''s going to be a wonderful event, and I will remember it well."


    ��


    After returning from the cruise vacation, An Feng listened to the report of the think tank.


    There is a summary report at the beginning of each year, and this year''s content is more complicated than previous years.


    Taking GP as an example, it currently has three subsidiaries, GP Energy, GP Electronics and the newly established "Graphene Industry". Housing; also sensors, touch screen, etc.


    The graphene industry is independent for the convenience of GP company''s operation. It is very similar to a factory in essence, because all R&D departments are concentrated in GP company. Its revenue in the first year of its establishment is good, with revenue of 1.2 billion US dollars, of which the strong and flexible screen accounts for the bulk, and it will be even higher in the future.


    GP''s strategy is to use Nokia as a springboard to promote flexible screens, mobile processors, and mobile phone systems. From the current point of view, they are very successful. They only need to wait for the value of Berg to increase before considering full-scale distribution. There is no rush at present. It is the company that is in a hurry.


    The other two departments of the company had a revenue of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars last year. GP Energy��s revenue increased sharply due to the start of the world��s electric vehicle market competition. Coupled with the demand for mobile equipment and industrial fields, the revenue was 55 billion U.S. dollars. , more than double the conservative estimate.


    The growth of GP Electronics is too slow, and GP is giving the giants a chance to breathe��since GP Electronics involves supercomputers, large minicomputers, PC processors and mobile processors, it means that it has to integrate IBM, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, Samsung and other chip producers are all killed.


    That is to say, if there is any overlap, it has the ability to kill the opponent in seconds, but at present, it is in a state of breaking through each one, which is relatively gentle, giving the opponent a breather, and allowing shareholders to sell their stocks as soon as possible. The company''s stock price also changes every day, and overall it is falling steadily. state.


    The Texas consortium, which can grasp the changing laws of the stock market, especially the investment banks with their shadows, is now happily playing "short selling". What is short selling? To put it simply, it is like borrowing stocks from a securities company, and then selling them at a price of 100 yuan, and then buying them back when they fall to 60 yuan, and returning them to the securities company. The price difference of 40 yuan was earned by the investment bank through intelligence and gambling.


    At present, Goldman Sachs is the most famous and notorious for playing this hand in the world.


    But the members of the consortium don''t need to gamble, because the actions of GP are controlled by them. They have already sold the stocks they borrowed at high prices before it affects the stock prices of other companies. Technology, the opponent''s stock price plummeted, and they bought it back.


    This kind of cheating game is not limited to GP companies, but also other advantageous companies, which is why the members of the consortium are eager to control the company. The commodity economy in the consortium accounts for a part of the profit, and the profit of financial means also occupies a part.


    At present, the most powerful technology company on the earth has no intention of killing its opponents. Although the opponents know that the general trend is over and it is uncertain who will belong to them in the future, they no longer belong to them unless they can make changes in the near future. But how easy it is, their opponents are "future".


    In addition to GP, the pharmaceutical industry also has considerable revenue, most notably anti-cancer drugs. Sinclair��s pharmaceutical company has a revenue of 50 billion US dollars, and its monopoly ability should not be underestimated. Dozens of other authorized patents have also brought in returns of nearly 100 billion U.S. dollars, and Anfeng can share a lot.


    The bio-beverage distributed by the research center, Bida��s revenue has reached 18 billion, which is also the reason why the market has just been laid. The factories around the world have just been established, and the UK and Italy have officially operated for a quarter. The profits obtained will not be distributed and will continue to be used for expansion and development.


    There are also other companies in Anfeng. Since they act as technology exporters, their own profits are not considered. I am afraid they have to invest in them. Fortunately, Anfeng invested a lot in tax deductions last year. The consumption of the company and the superconductor company is not too large. This year, the superconductor company officially accepted the investment from the consortium partners, and the funds obtained should be able to make up for the huge research and development expenses.


    On the other hand, Ocean Shipping Company, which An Feng has been ignoring, actually achieved a profit of 20 million US dollars!


    The largest part of the income comes from the Queen Joanna, whether it is luxury enjoyment or travel, or the title of the world''s largest, let tourists choose it. After deducting operating costs, wages, taxes, etc., the net profit belonging to the company is exactly 20 million US dollars.


    As soon as An Feng was happy, he placed an order with the Norwegian shipyard to build a 150,000-ton luxury cruise ship, focusing on ultra-luxury and future technology. It will continue the five-star status of the Queen and add more technologies, such as holographic projection. , intelligent system, and future-style restaurants, dance halls and leisure areas.


    The cruise ship is named "Liberty Poseidon", and it is expected to take three years to build and cost one billion US dollars.


    An Feng really doesn��t know how to spend money now. The business under his hands is growing exponentially every year, and the revenue has also doubled several times. Last year, he felt that 15 billion was enough, and this year it exceeded 30 billion. Even though his think tank is trying its best to organize assets and transfer the part of his personal holdings to overseas offshore companies or other holding companies, he still has nearly tens of billions of dollars.


    This means that he needs to pay up to $3.5 billion in personal taxes.


    Last year, he tried his best to deduct the deductions. He spent a lot of money indiscriminately. In the end, he paid 1.6 billion in personal taxes. This year, he has even more. Apart from investing, he is now considering doing something else, such as investing in the United States. Local sports, American football is said to be very popular, NBA is also loved...


    In addition to his personal accounts, his various overseas accounts have a real serious backlog, with more than 20 billion in cash.


    John suggested that he should not leave it alone, and if all investment projects are sufficient, properly convert the money into valuable things, such as antique collections, famous paintings, or cars. In addition, it is also recommended to convert into bonds, or part of the gold reserve, to prevent world economic turmoil.


    An Feng also thinks the idea is good. He buys gold every year and saves dozens of tons of it. Even if the US dollar collapses and the world economy is over, he still has the protection of gold. Those who have the last laugh are not those who own intangible property. Banknotes can become waste paper, but gold is real.

 Chapter 371： affirmative answer

    Chapter 371 Affirmative Answer


    In addition to An Feng''s own tax headaches, Berg''s company is also in trouble.


    There are still a few years left before the brand usage period. With the re-burning of the Nokia brand, it has aroused great enthusiasm from all walks of life. Burger and Nokia have become hot words in the economic circles. Released foldable tablet.


    According to inside information from the Hart family, Nokia does not plan to let go of its controlling stake, and it is estimated that a lot of blood will be shed on the issue of extending the authorization period. The two parties are currently in frequent contact. Listed within three years of the plan.


    An Feng can''t help in this regard, it can only be handled by the top management. The current Nokia is nothing more than wanting to get more money, or there are other deeper purposes - imagine that Berger will rise because of mobile phones, and the consumer market is just that big.


    If Berg is allowed to dominate, other mobile phone manufacturers will be frustrated. In this case, Nokia is likely to be targeted by mobile phone giants, such as Apple and Samsung. The road of brand authorization is a fatal blow.


    Nokia''s current market value is 30 billion U.S. dollars, and it is not difficult to buy it with the financial resources of a mobile phone giant. Even if it loses money, it is better than letting Berg dominate. At that time, their losses will not be tens of billions, but hundreds of billions of market value will be evaporated. . In this case, the situation in the mobile phone field has changed dramatically.


    On the surface, the new army of Berg Company is about to encounter disaster, and it may not be able to withstand it. Many news media are also worried, but only a few people can clearly see the complicated relationship inside, and no one dares to underestimate it. The technology giant-GP company has not expressed its position.


    GP holds shares in Berger, and they provide batteries, chips, and screens, which are equivalent to non-controlling sub-brands.


    Now their attitude is key.


    Even if the removal of the Nokia trademark caused Berg to suffer heavy losses, as long as GP''s technology does not stop, they still have not failed. And if GP no longer provides technology to mobile phone manufacturers other than Berg, it will be the real end of the world.


    You mean monopoly? This is actually very easy to solve, because the GP company can''t talk about monopoly before it starts. Furthermore, its production capacity is insufficient, cooperation cannot be negotiated, and the price is too low. What can you do? Taking a few steps back, it is to support puppet enterprises, and they can digest their own products.


    Or worse, if it wants to support a certain mobile phone giant, other peers will struggle.


    So at this time, rumors abounded. Some people said that Berg had already considered formally subsuming it under the GP company, and after the Nokia brand authorization expired, it would produce GP-branded equipment; The authorization has not yet expired, and the multi-faceted development; it is even said that GP has already greeted Nokia, preparing to acquire them at a high price and rebuild the brand...


    The smoke bombs in the market were released, and now no one dared to act rashly.


    An Feng was watching the show from the sidelines. He was almost blinded by the methods of the company''s senior management. Fortunately, as the big boss, he could cheat to understand the progress of the matter. As a key Nokia, in terms of one-time profit and long-term future considerations, it fell to GP''s side.


    Finally, at the end of February, Berger and Nokia reached a new agreement, which will extend the authorization of the mobile phone brand for 20 years. In return, Berger will provide 2% of the shares and the cooperation of the foundry, and Nokia will also recommend the elites of the original mobile phone department employees, or provide factories.


    The future value of a 2% share may be around 5 billion US dollars. For Burger, it has avoided the crisis and secured its brand, which will preserve at least 100 billion in market value. On the whole, GP''s strategic mistakes have affected the present, but they are still the ones who have the last laugh.


    If the company changes to use the "GP" trademark, the loss will be even greater. First of all, it will miss the best promotion opportunity and fail to catch the novelty and fashion that consumers need. It is certain that it will lose tens of billions; And advertising investment must be at least one billion.


    Most importantly, GP cannot stop supplying screens and super chips, which cost at least tens of billions a year!


    If An Feng hadn��t touched Nokia at the beginning, he would have used the ��GP�� trademark directly��but he had no spare money at the time, and it didn��t meet the purpose of cashing out and defrauding people. And once he shorts the stock, it will affect the reputation of GP. An Feng didn''t want to ruin the future of GP Mobile because of his practice of selling shares for cash.


    GP Mobile has not been established yet, but its strategy is to subvert the concept of future mobile devices, and will integrate all mobile products through higher technology, so the concept of "mobile phone" is too narrow to be suitable for it. Peak did not set up the reason for the GP move.


    Taking over Nokia from Microsoft turned out to be the right solution in the end.


    Anyway, things have finally calmed down. Berg Company has 20 years to wait until it goes public in two or three years. Joanna can cash out through the consortium''s securities company and earn pocket money quietly. An Feng believes that compared with the profit from mobile phone sales, cashing out is still the most direct.


    ��


    The news media that paid attention to this matter also began to adjust their tone.


    The government is also relieved, especially for the United Kingdom, which rarely sees industrial hope, it is finally relieved. Decline is already an established reality. An Feng thinks that they are only valuable for their background, that is, he feels that the title of nobility is worth a little money... because it can support his wife.


    It is not easy for a declining empire. It is rare to see a promising mobile phone manufacturing industry. If it continues, it is expected to produce a large enterprise with a market value of more than 100 billion. If it really goes bankrupt because of brand licensing, whether it is from taxes or from In terms of face, it''s all terrible.


    Now that it has been resolved safely, the local government and the party are all happy.


    In order to express their gratitude, the Prime Minister''s cabinet and the Prime Minister also personally invited the company''s shareholders to participate in some private consultation meetings to discuss business opportunities and preferential policies, in addition to thanking the capitalists. As a key figure, Joanna naturally cannot be absent.


    This is also in line with An Feng''s considerations. Ever since his strange ideas came out, it was equivalent to pushing Joanna to the foreground. Whether it was the female boss of Liverpool, the Dame, or a great philanthropist, she was destined not to keep a low profile. Simply push behind the scenes to create a positive image.


    They made their debut in Devon, west of England.


    The location is located in the luxurious manor of the Hart family. Unlike many traditional manors that have declined or become scenic spots, the wealth of the Hart family allows them to easily maintain the operation of the manor. Franson''s father also has the title of earl, which is a real hereditary noble family.


    This is a private dinner, and some partners of the consortium participated. Among the guests are the prime minister and his wife, as well as important members of the prime minister''s cabinet. In the spacious and luxurious restaurant, more than a dozen guests were seated at long tables, and the well-organized servants were silently busy.


    The maid serving the meal served the table with shiny stainless steel tableware. The exquisite meal was matched with a ceramic plate, and some yellow tablecloths were used as the background, showing the elegant style of the banquet. Guests in gorgeous costumes Get together. Every meal is full of knowledge.


    An Feng put the folded napkin on his lap, approached Joanna and muttered, "It''s like a TV show."


    Joanna was very appreciative: "The host entertained us with a very high standard, which proved his seriousness."


    "I think so." An Feng nodded, "But I thought I was going to No. 10 Downing Street to eat food at the Prime Minister''s Mansion."


    "Don''t make me laugh." Joanna smiled, but pinched his thigh with her hand underneath, and An Feng grabbed her hand and pressed it on her leg.


    "Don''t mess around." She reminded.


    "You came first!" An Feng''s lips moved slightly.


    "Bold!" Joanna also mischievously stretched out her other hand to fight back. No one could see their small movements under the table, and the surrounding guests looked as usual.


    "Mr. An?" A voice sounded.


    An Feng stopped and looked up at the first seat. Mr. Hart looked at him with a smile on his face: "Are you satisfied with the dining environment here?"


    "Very good." An Feng nodded, "Nowadays it is rare to experience an authentic British meal, and it is my honor to be able to participate."


    Mr. Hart was obviously very happy with the satisfaction of the guests, and his eyes fell on Joanna. Joanna smiled: "This place makes me feel like I was a child."


    Hart smiled: "Just treat it as your own home. We lack youthful vitality here. Your arrival will definitely add a lot of brilliance."


    "Thank you for your invitation, Earl Crediton." Joanna said politely, "But we have schedules for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I can only regret next time."


    "It''s okay, I''m welcome at any time." Hart smiled, and the eyes of the surrounding people admired Joanna. Everyone knew her background, and this demeanor was naturally cultivated since she was a child. Whether it was her tone, attitude or gaze, she was very admirable. In place, elegant.


    There were a lot of guests at the dinner, and the old earl, as the host, also greeted each of them personally, and occasionally made some lively words, but most of them were the cold humor of the English. When An Feng saw everyone laughing, he also responded to the smile. Get used to getting along.


    It took three and a half hours at the dining table, and there was chatting in the living room after the end. In fact, it is to get to know An Feng, the core member, and other partners of the consortium, and then deal with politicians. Although he is young, his every move can affect the world, neither the earl nor the prime minister dares to underestimate him.


    I just don��t know how the Prime Minister got around to the issue of graphene technology, so that An Feng didn��t know where to start. Speaking of it in detail, no one present could understand it. Simply put, it feels like a lot. In the end, it was attributed to the miraculous collective mental activity, not as exaggerated as the consortium said.


    The Prime Minister smiled and said: "I believe that Mr. An must have provided crucial help here, otherwise he would not be hailed as a genius by everyone."


    "Maybe." An Feng didn''t imitate the endless humility of the British.


    I have seen a lot of British Prime Ministers on TV, but this is the first time for them to face each other. An Feng feels like that. He has also met many heads of state. The US President still clinks glasses with him, drinks and tells jokes. , each touched each other''s hobbies.


    An Feng received an affirmative answer from the prime minister''s words. He will provide support for Joanna who has made many contributions, and the royal family is also paying attention to her. She brought good development to the military industry last time, and this time she promoted industrial technology and gave the country a face. There must be some understanding behind this. Rewards are inevitable, but they should not be too frequent. They may be re-nominated every one or two years, waiting for a mature time.

 Chapter 372： Tyrant gold everywhere

    Chapter 372 Rich money everywhere


    After the dinner, they stayed in the manor. The plan was to leave at noon the next day, and there was still some time to visit in the morning. According to the steward, the area of ??the manor is very large, more than a thousand acres, but it is said that the land of the manor used to be larger, and now most of the nobles'' territories have become public.


    With the democratization of the society, the term "manor" has been exclusively used by big landowners, and has gradually shrunk to mansions with mountains and rivers for some rich people. Agricultural work, removal of common areas, turned into fully private land.


    Since it is a tour, the housekeeper drives a battery car around the neighborhood.


    The manor is a bit of a Gothic revival style. Unlike the Gothic style that is widely used in religious buildings, it incorporates many elements and is also suitable for residential buildings. The gardens are very unique, and Romanticism has appropriated everything that can be learned from the world, and there are also some Chinese garden styles.


    After a tour, Anfeng gave a very good evaluation, but to be honest, I still feel that I am good. The color of the manor building here is a bit monotonous. The appearance can only feel the vicissitudes of history it has experienced. Although the interior is luxurious and colorful, But there is still a classical dullness.


    On the contrary, his mansion in California, the exterior color of the building is very eye-catching, the blue and white style is like a sunny holiday sky, lively and playful, and the interior decoration is a part of modern style in the tradition of jewels. "Vintage", but not really ancient.


    After the tour in the morning, say goodbye to the host and return to London.


    Went to Liverpool the next day to watch another home game of the Red Army. Although Joanna did not attend very frequently, she finally showed her face. This time the Red Army won the game again, and the proprietress vaguely became a **** of luck. The few times she appeared, the Red Army performed very well.


    After a few events with the lucky Joanna, the short trip to England came to an end.


    Going back to get busy with company affairs, I received news from Khaled in March that he planned to visit Anfeng in the United States, bringing friends and a large business order. The Green Earth project has taken root around Los Angeles, and the effect is astonishingly good, as An Feng expected.


    Plants specially adapted to the environment can adapt tenaciously to the environment. Just like how hot the desert is, there will always be people who can survive. No matter how cold the Arctic is, don��t the Inuit still have fun? The reason is the same, and the genetic technology is even more against the sky. Sprinkling water a few times a year can ensure the greenery.


    Khalid''s interest is also expected by Anfeng. The California government and local governments are negotiating with the company, planning to focus on greening in some big cities. Even if allowed, they would rather replace the plants that were bothersome and water-consuming. Use this high-tech plant.


    The area that cares most about technology is water shortage and desertification. Nevada in the United States is very concerned about it. The casino hopes that it can be green and realize a real desert oasis. Khalid''s visit is equivalent to the attitude of the Qatar government. In addition, he also brought friends, which is definitely a business opportunity.


    An Feng had to consider the reception method.


    The royal family of Qatar is a business partner of the consortium. An Feng and Khalid have a good relationship. It stands to reason that inviting them to their home is the highest standard. Khaled entertained them in the same way last time. But the atmosphere of the winery is not suitable for Arabs, and the wine and luxury attributes conflict.


    Finally told Joanna about the matter, and she recommended using their manor.


    "Isn''t there part of it still not healed?" An Feng asked.


    Joanna is more familiar than him: "It''s just a few details. I asked Mr. Brandon, and it''s okay to move in now, unless you are very demanding on the details."


    "I don''t have much demand for details." An Feng said, "Let''s experience it tomorrow."


    ��


    An Feng''s manor has entered the finishing stage.


    It took three years and eight months from the construction to the present, the construction team has been completed and evacuated, and there are still a few designers who are responsible for the details of the overall effect. That is to consider how to place the vase, whether to change the location of the sculpture, and how to install the security equipment without affecting the aesthetic feeling.


    Strictly speaking, it is 99% complete, and only the final adjustments are left. How to place a painting is very particular. At present, some designers have changed the positions of oil paintings in three places. In order to find out if it could receive guests, An Feng took a housekeeper who was familiar with the situation and set off together.


    This time, there was no leisurely ride in the car, and the helicopter rushed there.


    Viewed from the air, the manor has been completely completed. Whether it is the front yard or the backyard, or the majestic main building under the sun, it looks impeccable. The English-style garden is meticulous in the flat grass, and the romantic lake and pavilion are fresh and soft...everywhere. Heady melody.


    As expected of a royal garden, there is no problem with its appearance.


    An Feng focused on inspecting the main building. Accompanied by a housekeeper who is familiar with the details of life, the designer Teresa led them on a tour. She introduced: "The main building is 102 meters long, 12 meters high, and 15 meters wide. The two-story design is actually two and a half floors. One floor takes up part of the upper floor."


    As an acceptance tour, Teresa explained in detail, and they also started the tour from the bottom floor. Different from the basement in An Feng''s impression, it is very spacious and bright. When you look up, you can see the glass windows that welcome the sunlight from the outside, protruding forty to fifty centimeters from the ground, no wonder it is two and a half floors.


    As a part of the building, it also has a rigorous structure, the floor is laid on the ground, and the storage area on the right is used to store daily necessities and food. Under the decoration of retro style, it also has a large cold room, which is divided into different areas and can be used for different types of food. Food is kept fresh, but not for what the kitchen is about to use.


    On the left is the living area, in the middle is a tiled corridor, and on both sides are rooms, a total of twelve rooms, two main rooms, An Feng took a look and continued the overall luxurious style, such as wardrobes, dressing tables and bathrooms are equipped with There are desks, computers and internal telephones.


    The jewel-like overall style makes the servants also proud. The room is similar to a luxurious standard room in a hotel. The area is about 35 square meters. There are not many servants, twelve rooms are basically enough.


    To be honest, this mansion specially built with the theme of luxury, even the living quarters for the servants, has the standard of a star hotel. After all, it is the new century, and the old set has been thrown away long ago. As a waiter in a star-rated hotel, if you don''t have a high salary, you still don''t work.


    Leaving the basement and going up, the first floor of the building is the activity area.


    The first floor reflects the face of the owner, and is also the most important area to build, costing the most.


    The most extravagant one is the main banquet hall, with high-grade wooden floors under the feet and magnificent decorations around. It is said that the doors, windows and metal ornaments are all gold-plated, and hundreds of kilograms of gold are used to decorate the main banquet hall, in order to truly immerse the dinner party in radiant and extreme luxury.


    I don''t know what other people think, anyway, An Feng is in it, and what he feels is the ubiquitous local gold, even the wooden floor is dark brown, illuminated by the pale yellow light of the crystal lamps on the surrounding walls, whether it is underfoot Or the top of the head, reflecting the golden light.


    The huge ceiling painting above the head is more than 30 meters long and 15 meters wide. The background depicted is Western mythology, with mortals, angels, warriors and heaven, making the banquet hall magnificent. The ceiling painting took more than two years and cost more than $6 million to hire four European artists to create.


    On the first floor there are study rooms, reception living room, living room and the commonly used family restaurant. Because the main banquet hall has 500 square meters, family dinners are definitely not used, so the family restaurant is relatively small, but the luxury is not reduced. It is also covered with golden As well as the ivory shine, five-star restaurants are dwarfed.


    The other kitchen and the living room for private use are also on the first floor. Walking in the corridor decorated with crystal chandeliers and gold-plated sculptures, admiring each area, the eyes have already been blinded by various "local gold", but it also conforms to the Baroque style. Urinary **** - exaggerated dynamic show off.


    Baroque style is plainly built with exquisiteness and luxury.


    This style, including the Rococo that evolved in the later period, is mainly gorgeous, delicate and delicate. Showing off wealth is the core element. If there is no such golden and dazzling effect, it is not Baroque. Even if it is not intentional, the style of the building brings invisible publicity.


    Go up the stairs covered with brown wool carpets to the second floor.


    Most of them are bedrooms here. The U-shaped corridor connects the left and right hand corridors. There are many sculptures on the road. The huge retro glass windows around allow the outdoor light to shine in. A corridor looks past, and there are all kinds of rooms, a total of eight. The master bedroom is on the right hand side of the corridor.


    The height of the second floor is about four meters, which is a little shorter than the six meters of the first floor, and the local gold is relatively less. After all, it is a living area, so it needs to be adjusted properly, using some noble ivory white, or The blue color of the lake is embellished, so that people can have a good mood every day.


    The door of the master bedroom is ivory white, and the two doors are split. The gold-plated patterns on it are symmetrical, and the door handle is also golden and gold-plated. Open the door and enter, filled with a faint fragrance, different from the majestic atmosphere on the first floor, the bedroom is not too big, it is divided into two parts.


    In front is a sofa and a coffee table, disguised as a graphene screen on the wall, bypassing the screen, and there is a large bed, which continues the style and is still a retro design, using a large number of exquisite silks and satins to create a golden and white piece, which looks smooth and delicate. Very soft on top.


    The lighting in the bedroom caters to the theme, and it is also a soft white tone, which is yellowish. Pull the curtains to darken the room, and then turn on the lights. The whole bedroom is shrouded in luxury. The strongest feeling An Feng felt was that from the moment he came in, from closing his eyes to opening them, there would be luxury everywhere.


    Also only the color of the floor and carpet, which can dilute the strong contrast between the walls and overhead.


    Baroque luxury is reflected in every corner, and even the top hotels will have an unmatched feeling. In order to create a jewel-like atmosphere, Anfeng spent 550 million US dollars. More than 300 kilograms of gold were used for decoration alone, and a large amount of gold plating has created the current brilliance.


    After a tour, An Feng felt that the palace was nothing more than that.


    It wasn''t until they left the house and went outside and saw the green that the feeling of being surrounded by gold and white just disappeared. Eyes looking at the world also returned to normal color. Gold is the most seen in the house, and the furniture also reflects gold under the light.


    "I think it''s enough to entertain guests." An Feng was very confident.


    "It''s like the Palace of Versailles I visited, but the colors are more lively, and the emptiness of the palace is removed, so it''s very suitable for living." Joanna''s opinion is the same. To be honest, to experience it completely, it''s really a trance to visit the palace. The feeling of visiting, being overwhelmed by luxury.


    Brandon said at the right time: "Mister and Madam, if you decide, there are still five days before the guest''s visit, we have to hurry up and prepare."


    "Go and prepare, we decided to entertain guests here." An Feng nodded and said, the house is almost completed, as for those sculptures that are tangled about where to place them, we will talk about them later. Anyway, customers won''t focus on this point, but the service must be prepared quickly.


    Currently, Brandon has recruited ten servants, just in line with his ideal number of people to take care of the manor. Within five days, he will prepare the ingredients for the kitchen, the work of the chef and assistants, the distribution of servant positions, as well as the specifications of the reception and the customs of the guests.

 Chapter 373： first guests

    Chapter 373 The first guests


    According to the agreed time, the guest''s plane will arrive in five days.


    After the plane from Qatar landed, An Feng sent a business jet to pick them up and took them back to Santa Barbara in 20 minutes. In addition to Khalid and his girlfriend, there were two Qatari officials on board, Saeed from Dubai. With his three entourage and four bodyguards.


    If it is considered an official visit, the country must at least send a high-ranking official to receive it, but now it is a private act, and everything is being carried out in a low-key manner. After the plane landed, the stewardess opened the gangway and faced the passengers with a smile on her face: "Sirs and ladies, I wish you a pleasant journey!"


    Khalid walked ahead and stepped off the plane on the gangway.


    The seasons along the coast of California do not change much, and the winter is only slightly colder. For the guests coming from the Bay Area, the weather is very warm and comfortable. Their friends also sent luxury cars to pick them up, two black and solemn Rolls-Royce Phantoms, and four Maserati Presidents.


    The driver in a black suit and white gloves opened the door and asked them to get in.


    Khalid and his female companion boarded one of the Phantoms, Said, his assistant and translator boarded the last Phantom, and the other entourages sat in the Maserati one by one. The one leading the way was a gasoline version of the president, and the deep sound of the engine sounded, and he turned around and led the way.


    The convoy leaves the airport and drives along the highway to the destination.


    This luxury motorcade has also become a scenic spot along the way. When passing through the center of the city, passers-by turn their heads from time to time. The luxury motorcade attracts a lot of attention, and the VIPs in the car are respected. After about six or seven minutes, the speed of the vehicle slowed down, and the vehicle in front turned at the intersection ahead.


    Khalid looked at the scenery outside the window. The white and blue fence spread around, surrounded by tall green trees. When the car was moving forward, there was an obvious sign on the side of the road: Stop! private area. Show that the road, and everything in front of it, is privately owned.


    The convoy passed the wide main gate of the manor, and the scene that was previously blocked by trees suddenly opened up. In front of it was an open field tens of meters wide and hundreds of meters long. A square building decorated with blue, white and gold stood in front of it. The convoy turned a corner. Passengers They can see more clearly.


    The guiding car brought two Rolls-Royces to the main entrance of the building and stopped, and the rear car drove directly to the parking lot without passing the main entrance. When Phantom came to the main entrance to spray water, the host and hostess greeted him in person. A row of servants around him kept their eyes on each other, and the butler was in the most convenient position in front.


    Khaled lamented that the real person does not show his face. He knew that An Feng was very rich and was also the core of the consortium. It was because of this that he made friends with him. He didn��t see how high-profile he was in Europe, so he thought he was indifferent by nature. Now it seems that he is not revealing. The typical landscape can only be seen in the base camp.


    When thinking about this, the car door was opened, and Khalid adjusted his mentality. Having lived in the West, he naturally knew the etiquette of these Western societies. He immediately got out of the car and went to the owner, shook hands with him and greeted him, and then introduced some other entourage people, and shook hands one by one.


    It feels a bit like a meeting between the leaders of the two countries, and the always serious butler played this scene to the fullest. It is rumored that the top-notch British butler can improve the face of the host, and now it seems true. An Feng invited them into the house, the housekeeper led the way, and the servants quickly followed with their luggage.


    Through the gate and step into the front hall, there is a high-end handmade carpet under your feet, the walls are ivory white, and there are exquisite crystal chandeliers and carved patterns on the top of your head. In front of you are two winding stairs leading to the second floor. The well-informed Khalid knew that this was not the subject, but the adjacent living room.


    "Misters and ladies, this way please!" An Feng invited them into the living room on the right.


    The decoration of the living room restores the essence of the building, all kinds of luxury and high-end come together, large oil paintings are hung on the walls of the living room, depicting some fantasy scenes in European myths, surrounded by retro European sofas, and huge windows on the upper and lower floors behind it Open, but blocked by a sculpted white curtain, the light in the room is not too strong, while also enhancing the effect.


    Khalid looked at it and praised: "Your layout here is very good, it is dizzying."


    "Thank you!" An Feng smiled, "Are you interested in visiting?"


    "I''m just curious." Khalid smiled, looked at Said, and he nodded. They are not being polite, but really curious about how luxurious this building is. Take the current living room as an example, with a little decoration, it can completely become a meeting place for high-ranking state officials and foreign guests.


    An Feng and the hostess took them on a visual journey.


    Even if some of them were born in the royal family and have seen many luxurious palaces, they are still amazed by this place. Walk around the first floor, visit each area, and be shocked by the ubiquitous gold and ivory white, and then dotted with red and brown, luxury is played in the palm of your hand.


    Khaled has visited many European royal palaces and experienced their luxury and magnificence. Compared with today''s Anfeng mansions, although it is boring to evaluate which one is higher or lower, the former is a royal palace and the latter is a private mansion. For everyday use, he prefers the latter.


    Said from Dubai is also impressed: "It feels like coming to the Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi. The difference is that the colors here are more lively, and you can feel the luxury while taking into account the needs of life. It''s really great. A beautiful place."


    "Thank you!" An Feng smiled.


    Hearing high evaluations is naturally an affirmation of his burning money. Both Khalid and Saeed are rich in the Middle East and royal families. They must have tasted a lot of luxury. Compared with Saeed, the Abu Dhabi Palace Hotel is the only eight-star hotel in the world.


    Even this group of people highly appreciate it, which shows it.


    In terms of total construction cost, Anfeng is naturally inferior to the Palace Hotel, which cost three billion US dollars to build, but in terms of unit cost, how big is the Palace Hotel? How old is An Feng here? They have nearly 400 guest rooms, while Anfeng only has eight rooms here!


    Calculated by the unit cost, the degree of burning money is indeed unmatched.


    An Feng also thinks that it is more suitable for residential use. He has seen the Palace Hotel. Too much use of gold will cause visual fatigue, and it will feel a little explosive after a long time. Anfeng is not a hotel here, so more colors and elements are added, and Baroque art is used to dilute the outburst.


    In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a low-key pretending to be B.


    ��


    It is impeccable to entertain guests with such a high standard.


    So this time being a guest is a joy for the host and guests. The guests are very happy and full of praise, and the host is naturally satisfied. In the end, they gathered around a long table in the golden main banquet hall, with pure white tablecloths and exquisite ceramic tableware, and enjoyed a non-alcoholic Western dinner together.


    The next morning, the guests strolled around. The main building occupies a negligible area, but the entire manor covers an area of ??300 acres, full of greenery, and there is a huge artificial lake. For friends who live in the desert too much, green and water They are all precious things.


    This also aroused their urgency.


    An Feng didn''t procrastinate. After the morning, the plane took them to a field trip.


    The first is the greening around Los Angeles. This matter started nine months ago. By now, lush plants have grown, and a large area around is covered with fragrant green grass. The green protection circle surrounds this city that lacks greenery. , aerial observations are incredible.


    "Are they really plants that are less than a year old?" Khalid asked in disbelief. Looking down from the helicopter, there are dense plants all around. Although they cannot be compared with those that grow in areas with sufficient water, they are Compared with the original satellite image, this change is terrifying.


    "Believe in the power of technology." An Feng said.


    "Following this trend, Los Angeles will be able to build a green satellite city in a few years." Khaled said, it seems that he has done his homework.


    "Maybe, but it''s too far away from the central area, so it''s not suitable for business." An Feng looked at the land below and said, wait until the green trees grow taller and the vegetation is lush, then connect the water pipes. It''s unrealistic to build a business, but the conditions are excellent. , a living area with fresh air, that is more than enough.


    "I like this technology." Said also said, his eyes full of yearning.


    An Feng said: "Continue to the next item?"


    Khalid nodded: "Please continue."


    The helicopter returned, this time near the coastal area. An Feng was going to take them to visit the small seawater desalination plant provided by Ans Industry and promoted by Green Earth Company. Due to its size, the name of the plant is a bit of a misnomer, it should be a desalination workstation.


    The advanced technology from the future has greatly improved the efficiency and effect of seawater desalination, but the cost has been reduced. An Feng invited them to taste the desalinated fresh water in person. Middle Eastern guests are very experienced, they are frequently exposed to desalinated sea water, and it is easy to taste the difference.


    Khalid took a sip, his face in disbelief: "Is this really desalinated sea water?"


    "I promise, or stop the machine, we do it all over again?"


    "Come again." Khalid really didn''t believe it, and the staff behind him gave an explanation and a demonstration, and they tried a few more mouthfuls.


    Khalid put down his cup and said solemnly: "Are you considering transferring this technology?"


    Said also looked at An Feng, he spoke a step late, but the meaning in his heart was the same.


    An Feng said: "It is a business that supports the green earth. It is impossible to transfer technology. We have to do business in other countries. However, we will build a large-scale desalinated water plant in a joint venture with you. We will provide the technology, and you will hold the shares and be responsible for the operation. It''s the best compromise."


    An Feng did not intend to hold these technologies, because the desalination plants in these countries are all state-owned, and it is impossible for locals to control them, let alone a group of foreigners? So he didn''t consider being able to hold a controlling stake, he just hoped to take more shares and let the other party cash out to buy the transferred shares.


    Khalid said: "We have to discuss in detail."


    An Feng said: "I can only recommend this to you. The company or my private team will handle business matters."


    "Is it the minimum requirement just now?" Khaled asked.


    "You can say that." An Feng nodded.


    "Very good." Khalid said, he already had an idea in his mind, this opportunity must be seized, whether it is the green environment or fresh water, both play a key role in the future, when the oil is gone, these countries must think about it The method masters the method of continuous development.


    The outside world generally thinks that the oil countries in the Middle East are short-sighted and wait for the end after the oil is pumped, but in fact they are not stupid. They have been using money to find other ways out, just like Dubai building itself into a tourist city. This is undoubtedly the exhaustion of oil. new road after.

 Chapter 374： Manor style【Third watch】

    Chapter 374 Manor Style ��Third Watch��


    (the third addition)


    ��


    An Feng''s Arab friends stayed for five days.


    In addition to appreciating the beauty of the manor, business matters have not been left behind. At present, both Dubai and Qatar are very interested in greening technology and seawater desalination. The cooperation is as predicted by Anfeng.


    An Feng estimated that the two orders were accepted at the same time, and this deal should be worth billions of dollars. After the name is issued, the next order may be billions... In addition, regarding the cooperation of bio-drinks, Khalid''s The entourage began to contact Bi Da''s high-level officials.


    If it goes well, it is expected to reach a cooperation by the end of this year.


    Send away these friends who brought big business, and the reception task of the manor is also successfully completed. The housekeeper Brandon contributed a lot to the reception activities in the past few days. Without his prior training and strict planning, it would have been a mess, but now it has been handled in an orderly manner.


    After the reception, An Feng also began to consider moving here.


    Although it is not finished, but after experiencing its comfort, I can''t wait. The work in the later period will be done slowly, and it will not affect the normal living anyway. After the housekeeper Brandon received a positive answer, he began to arrange the work of ten servants, six women and four men, responsible for different fields.


    In addition to the permanent residents, there are chefs and assistants who commute to and from get off work, gardeners and bodyguards who change their guards regularly. Careful planning is required in terms of time and work handover. The number of bodyguards in the manor is kept at five, and there are actually seven. Shifts are based on two people.


    Security equipment has also begun to be installed. The manor is too big, so security and monitoring systems are a must. Professionals from Aegis Security are responsible for designing this aspect, and use the best equipment, most of which are intelligent. Even two The gate can also be opened by computer control.


    Now that technology is advanced, the scene of a large number of busy workers a hundred years ago no longer exists. Nowadays, whether it is washing dishes, clothes or cooking, machines can take care of it. The housekeeping work in modern society is not too heavy. The reason why people can cope flexibly.


    The relocation work is not complicated. An Feng and Joanna went to the manor if they had nothing to do.


    To be honest, they dare not say that they have been to every place. It is really big, with an area of ??302 acres, which is 1.22 million square meters in conversion. Maybe this is not enough image, but compared with the Forbidden City in China, the latter occupies The land is only 750,000 square meters, so the size of the manor can be imagined.


    The manor is mainly divided into several parts: the front courtyard, as the facade of the manor, with few decorations, it focuses on the magnificent main building; then the beautiful backyard, the first is the small garden, which is flat and spliced The plane graphics are the main ones; behind it is a huge garden with flowers, plants and trees; next to it is an artificial lake that occupies a quarter of the area, and there is an island in the middle of the lake, which needs to be rowed to; the last is the grassland that occupies nearly half of the land. It is connected to the artificial lake on one side and the sea on the other. It is a good choice for walking and riding horses.


    Because of its huge size, the tour requires a means of transportation: electric vehicles. Just like the battery car on the golf course, it is small in size and light in weight, can seat four people, and the speed is not fast. Driving on the lawn will cause little damage to the grass. Some of the green grass in it is a new technology, and it is not afraid of being crushed at all.


    An Feng drove around slowly, admiring the surrounding scenery: "Admiring flowers in the garden, boating on the lake, riding a horse on the grassland, we have all the elements we want."


    "It''s very free here." Joanna leaned on him, "It reminds me of my childhood life, I galloped on the grass and rode a horse."


    "You can do this now." An Feng smiled, "You can teach our children to do this in the future."


    "That must be perfect," she said.


    "Yeah." An Feng drove along the stone-paved path in the garden, leaving the place filled with flowers and trees, and greeted the bright sunshine above his head again.


    "Hey!" She shook An Feng.


    "What?" An Feng felt that she was suddenly dissatisfied, why was he slow in reacting?


    "We need to make a plan," she said.


    "Oh..." An Feng understood, "Of course, I said that as long as you want, we can create small lives at any time."


    But she said: "You will know the trouble when the time comes."


    "You have anxiety about pregnancy, right?" An Feng said, feeling that she was a little bit against it.


    "It''s really troublesome to take care of the child." She admitted, "And the pregnancy is so uncomfortable. After giving birth, the body will be finished. What will you think of me..."


    "Honey, do you think I will despise you?" An Feng coaxed her, "But I believe that you will be a hot mom in the future, with more flavor than now."


    "I hope so," she said.


    "This can actually be seen. Refer to your mother Kelly. Doesn''t she maintain a good figure? If it is another picture, you have to work harder to make a fitness plan. Believe me, this is the old way Would it be a tragic way to marry a Russian woman��look at her mother''s size."


    "Look at the thoughts in your head." She smiled, "Okay, I''ve decided to make you a little naughty, but I can''t talk about my body, appearance and sexual dissatisfaction in the future. Pay attention! Now this woman has made a big decision for you."


    "Then let''s find another way. You know that biotechnology is very advanced now." An Feng said with a smile.


    "No, that doesn''t feel real." She shook her head.


    "No matter what, I will always be with you." An Feng kissed her forehead, turned his head in front of her, "Let''s go see the sea."


    He drives to the building on the shore.


    In addition to the main building, the manor has other things, such as houses that provide fitness and sports, which follow the overall style design, but the inside is full of modern equipment, and there is also a kendo outside, which can allow Joanna to practice when she is interested; and A small stable for ten horses, highly automated.


    The most important thing is that it is located near the coast. There is an ancient Greek-style swimming pool with a temple topped by tall stone pillars. The swimming pool is surrounded by sculptures, all of which are made of marble. The water in the pool is sapphire blue. Tiles are also used to collage into beautiful patterns.


    An Feng got off the car and took Joanna to the swimming pool. The ancient Greek style is suitable for the scene of sea water and blue sky. Standing beside the stone pillar of the temple, looking up, the vast Pacific Ocean is churning under their feet. They can soak in the freshwater pool Here, enjoy the endless Pacific Ocean.


    Joanna opened her hands to welcome the sea breeze: "It''s so beautiful here, it makes people want to embrace the ocean."


    "Maybe there is something we need in the house." An Feng took her to a building next to it. There is an outdoor swimming pool, and there is also an indoor swimming pool correspondingly. It is Roman-style, and the interior is relatively dark to highlight the golden lights. In effect, there are lockers next to the pool.


    The cabinets here are for storing swimwear and personal items, as well as some sunscreen products. When you open it, there are actually a lot of swimwear, all of which have not been opened. They are generally provided for unprepared guests. There are quite a lot of styles. Joanna took him to look around and chose the right size.


    Joanna hooked the bikini strap with one hand, "Shall we go into the water?"


    "Okay." An Feng nodded, although the weather is a bit cold, but 20 degrees is still suitable.


    The indoor swimming pool can be heated and has clean filtering equipment. The pool water looks dark. Although it is a bit quiet, it feels pretty good. The water temperature is suitable. After a dip, move to the outdoor swimming pool to welcome the sun and sea breeze. This place is more suitable for many people Lively occasions, the inside is more private.


    In addition to the indoor and outdoor swimming pools, they can also choose the beach below. Based on the experience, they go down the side steps barefoot and walk to the expanded beach. Originally, there was a one-kilometer-long beach here, but it was not wide enough, and it was artificially filled later, doubling its width.


    The sand on the beach is golden white and very fine. It feels like fine flour when you step on it, which is very comfortable. The ocean in front of you is turquoise. From time to time, waves catch up to the beach and wash their ankles. Joanna''s childlike innocence grew, and she ran up and down in front.


    She turned to face An Feng, and walked backwards: "Come here, dear, let''s chase the waves!"


    "What''s the fun in this..." Before An Feng could finish speaking, she pulled her to run forward, "Hurry up, the waves are big this time!"


    An Feng also played with her on the beach freely, using sand to pile up sculptures, and made a nondescript pattern... After playing enough, I went back to the indoor swimming pool, rinsed my body with fresh water, and found a holiday-style bath towel Wrap your body and return by car.


    Seeing the wet two, Brandon frowned. As a traditional housekeeper, his duty is to manage everything well.


    Joanna said playfully, "I''m sorry for getting the floor wet, Mr. Brandon."


    Brandon is still expressionless: "Mister and Madam, hurry up and change clothes, the weather is a bit cold now, and it is easy to catch a cold."


    "I''ve made you worry, Brandon." An Feng smiled. I have been with the old butler for a while, and although he is always unsmiling, he is very careful. The most important point is that he really cares about Joanna who has grown up and treats things with affection.


    This is also the reason why he is top.


    Back in the room, in addition to the front hall and bedroom, there is also a cloakroom, which is very hidden, but the space is not small. Joanna��s handbags, shoes, clothes and jewelry are neatly placed in it. The assortment is like the shelves of high-end shopping malls , each of which is of great value.


    Joanna said while looking for clothes: "I often caused him headaches when I was a child, but after troubles, he always dealt with them calmly and properly."


    "It can be seen." An Feng said.


    After changing his clothes and coming out, Brandon and a maid stood in the corridor outside the door, and Brandon arranged for the maid to go in and clean up.


    Then Brandon took out the cordless phone: "Sir, there was a call just now, it was your assistant, Mr. Adams, and he said that there is something about the use of funds."


    "Okay." An Feng said, now the only one who can make landline calls is John, who is most familiar with him. An Feng doesn''t always carry a mobile phone.


    Called over and chatted with John about the use of funds.


    He currently has a serious backlog of spare funds, and he doesn''t want to make unstable business investments. He can only make financial investments, which involve relatively small risks, avoiding waste, and can also ensure the stability of funds, but the amount is too large, more than ten Every billionaire John needs to be cautious.


    An Feng thought for a while and said: "I want to cooperate with some investment institutions to do bigger business, you have to come and talk to me in person. By the way, there is a party for partners later, you should come to it too, just in time You can get to know those who are engaged in finance and communicate more directly.��


    "About when, Mr. Ann?" John asked.


    "Maybe ten days later, on a formal occasion, remember to bring a female companion, and I will inform you of the location." An Feng said.


    "I''ll be on time, sir," John said.


    The consortium holds gatherings in the east and west every year and holds one or two receptions to discuss issues of development and cooperation. This time, An Feng happened to be free, so he simply invited them here by himself, both in terms of conditions and privacy. Such a luxurious place cannot be wasted.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 375： get involved in finance

    Chapter 375 Involved in Finance


    An Feng made several important phone calls, and this year''s undecided meeting place was chosen here. As for the focus of the consortium''s industrial field, words certainly carry weight. In addition, An Feng doesn''t usually take the initiative to engage in many social activities, but this time he took the initiative to invite everyone to be interested.


    After confirming the location with several bigwigs, they notified Brandon. An Feng played the role of making requirements during the whole process, and someone would perfect other implementation methods and details. After the confession, he was free to do what he wanted, very leisurely.


    He is relaxed, but for the manor''s service team, the pressure is not small.


    In the guest list provided by An Feng to Brandon, the invited guests were all well-known, including many wealthy businessmen, some with titles, and even the name of the President of the United States. This is going to be announced, and the gathering of many big figures will definitely attract a lot of attention.


    This guest list also affirmed the social status of the owner of the manor. Both the housekeeper and the servants were surprised. An Feng gave them the impression that he was relatively low-key. He also invited guests at home, but the number of times was very small. Engaged in high-level reception activities.


    The Middle Eastern royal family he received a few days ago reflected his social circle. This time, they were wealthy businessmen and politicians. Even the president wanted to visit as a guest. Talking about it was a way of talking, but Brandon seriously reminded the servants, This is a private party, and any rumors are strictly forbidden.


    Brandon��s style is very rigorous, and he has seen a lot of big scenes. Although it is not as exaggerated as it is now, the guests at home are either princes or nobles or the president of the country, but after experiencing many things, the scene can��t help him. He studied the list before planning a formal reception.


    The butler carefully planned the details, including the vehicles the guests took, and the order of arrival. Wu Qian, as the housekeeper, also showed the most rigorous attitude. Five-star service standard.


    Wu Qian was a little nervous. They were going to entertain the President of the United States, as well as the mysterious tycoons who were ahead of the president on the list. There was no doubt that this was the top social circle. Even as waiters, they felt radiant. The low-key Mr. An It was a great shock to them.


    ��


    Not only the manor was nervously preparing for this party, but An Feng''s assistant John also spent a lot of thought. He even ordered several sets of dresses for his wife, and he was not stingy with jewelry. He knows the abilities of the guests better than anyone else.


    As An Feng''s closest assistant, he has naturally known his circle of friends over the years, and the people he deals with are undoubtedly people who can influence the country: huge financial groups and big families that have dominated the world a hundred years ago. And now, he is going to join this circle.


    He gets excited just thinking about it. This is a real high-level executive. Even though he is now a rich man with an annual income of one million and dividends of nearly ten million, he is probably nothing compared to those people. Thanks to An Feng, he has achieved what he is today, and he is already very satisfied with the status quo.


    He knows what kind of assistant An Feng needs. Smart brains are secondary, but loyalty is the most important thing. One brain is not smart, but you can spend money to hire countless smart heads. Once there is no loyalty, everything will collapse. John kept this in mind when he got on the Anfeng ship.


    In fact, he is very smart and knows how to hold on to An Feng as his backer. Being a personal assistant seems to be a part-time job, but he is more nourishing than some corporate bosses. Last year, he did a good job, made a lot of profits from financial investment, and his team bonus was tens of millions. He is already impeccable.


    After some preparations, he and his wife Mary got dressed and got ready that afternoon. The child had already hired a special child care provider. He also calculated the distance from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara. He had better arrive on time, and the bosses can be late. , but he obviously can''t show off.


    "Honey, relax!" John''s wife Mary said to John who was walking up and down in the living room. In fact, she just looked in the mirror several times in a row.


    "We will meet President Anderson tonight." John said expectantly, "If possible, I hope to take a photo with him, my parents will definitely be proud of me!"


    "You will." Mary said with a smile.


    John nodded, raised his hand and looked at the valuable Vacheron Constantin on his wrist: "Let''s go, counting possible traffic jams, let''s go early."


    John drove his new Tesla out, and there was also a Maserati GT sports car in the garage, which was ordered after watching An Feng''s game last time. Only in this way can it be worthy of the million-dollar mansion in Santa Monica.


    Los Angeles is not far from Santa Barbara. It��s about 100 kilometers away on Highway 1. If you drive fast, you can do it in an hour. He drove faster in the first part of the journey, and soothing music was playing in the quiet Tesla. After reaching Santa Barbara, he slowed down.


    Followed the GPS prompt to the previously obtained address, entered the private road, and there were black-clothed bodyguards checking. John took out his mobile phone, opened the electronic invitation, and scanned it for the serious-looking bodyguards. After confirming that the information was correct, they were let go and drove according to the instructions. into the manor.


    "It''s spectacular!" Mary''s eyes swept across the flat ground, and her vision stayed on this ivory-white building, and the red light of the sunset added momentum to it.


    "It''s really remarkable." John also took a few more glances, but he didn''t let the car stay in the driveway for too long. He drove the car to the parking lot according to the street signs and found a place in the luxury car. It seems that they are not counted this time. At the earliest, for this important gathering, someone has already advanced it.


    After getting off the car, they went to the main entrance of the building, stepped on the red carpeted stairs, and a white waiter received them.


    The waiter led them into the house, walked to the left, pushed open a three-meter-high door, and stepped into the main banquet hall.


    "Wow!" Mary made a small sound from her mouth.


    The luxury and gold of the main banquet hall rushed forward. Under the reflection of the lights on both sides of the wall, there was golden light everywhere. The huge ceiling painting above the head brought a sense of solemnity and sacredness. The surrounding guests admired it in amazement.


    They didn''t come back to their senses until someone came in front of them. After seeing the person, John said, "Mr. An, Madam, hello!"


    "Hello, John!" An Feng reached out and shook his hand, looking at the woman next to him, "Maybe this is Madam?"


    "Yes, her name is Mary." John smiled, "This is my boss, Ann, and this is his wife, Dame Joanna from England."


    "Hello!" Mary also shook hands with them, "You are so beautiful, ma''am."


    "Thank you!" Joanna had a friendly smile on her face. Her dress tonight is really suitable for the occasion. She is wearing a golden dress. The designer uses multiple layers of creativity. The innermost base is noble ivory white, the main layer in the middle is yellowish, and the outer layer is light and fluffy. The gauze she wears is shining gold, and with the resplendent environment here, she seems to be the most honorable queen at the reception.


    After shaking hands, Joanna invited Mary to the lady''s circle, An Feng asked the servant for a glass of wine, walked to the large window next to him, and chatted with John about some serious matters. The main reason is to consider using part of the spare funds for financial investment, and it is to play big with the consortium.


    An Feng is an industrialist who deals in tangible commodities and rarely touches financial economy because he is not good at it and doesn��t understand it, but this time he is very sure��because he plays a key role on his side, and he has also understood it. Everyone in the financial field is doing well.


    This is not a game in the ordinary sense. They have many methods, the most common one is "long and short selling", such as the decline of Intel and AMD stocks - because GP Electronics launched desktop-level processors, the consortium''s investment banks sold short stocks The means to earn tens of figures of money.


    This is just the tip of the iceberg. The consortium has developed a lot of cheats in the financial field. Since the day GP was established, this kind of money manipulation has never stopped. These people have made a lot of money on Wall Street. It is estimated that it has made a profit of 30 to 40 billion.


    This is why they don''t mind if An Feng controls most of the company''s shares��in fact, they just need to make sure that the company is controlled by a consortium, that the trading of tangible goods is normal, and that the financial sector unites to make much more money than An Feng''s men. The company''s net profit is high.


    An Feng has a lot of spare cash. Recently, the expenditures of several companies have not been large, and the cash backlog is serious. He just wants to join the financial investment of the consortium, and he doesn''t expect to make much. A return on investment of one billion US dollars is about 15%. Said that they have played the game of double or triple one billion before.


    An Feng had a brief chat, and then said: "You will assign me to chat with a few friends later, and analyze the risks and benefits of participating in their cooperation."


    "I will do a good job, sir." John said, he is a professional in this field, and he has learned a lot by himself in recent years. Although he is not as good as the top leaders on Wall Street, it is more than enough to provide a reference. It is not him who really uses his brains. It''s the behind-the-scenes team of those tycoons.


    There were a lot of guests participating in this private reception, and the spacious main banquet hall could handle it easily. With the continuous arrival of heavyweight guests, the atmosphere of the reception became more and more enthusiastic. Later, John met Anderson as he wished, and chatted with him a few words, and more It was talking and laughing and took a few selfies.


    Politicians were more close to the people at the scene. The other big chaebols were very low-key and had their own circles, obviously around An Feng. A group of bigwigs were commenting on the layout of the main banquet hall, and there were laughter from time to time. The atmosphere looks very harmonious.


    The butler of the manor came to John and said something in a low voice. He put down his glass and hurried towards An Feng.


    An Feng was talking: "Gentlemen, please follow me!"


    Everyone followed him to leave the main banquet hall, pushed open the ivory white door and came to the golden corridor on the left, the crystal chandelier above the head glowed with golden light, and the surrounding curtains were also faintly golden, unabated in luxury. They visited the halls along the way, and finally sat down in the well-stocked study.


    An Feng talked with them about financial investment.


    Bazel said: "I remember asking you before, but you weren''t interested."


    "I used to invest in a lot of projects, and I was busy with business, so I had no spare money." An Feng said, in fact, he was just lazy. "I have a lot of idle cash this year, and the investment has been suspended. Other investments have not been effective in a short time. I am very interested in seeing that your business is improving."


    "We don''t think we have too little money." Austin said, "The benefits of the current warm-up activities are quite good, and you can join if you have extra money."


    "Warming up?" An Feng was puzzled, warming up after playing so big?


    Matthew leaned on the sofa and raised his legs: "They have big goals, such as some relatively weak financial consortiums."


    An Feng feels very confident, but it is not impossible to be honest. The real economy has accumulated huge funds and advantages for the consortium. In the financial field, the development of the consortium is not weak. The two-pronged approach, the explosive energy is absolutely terrifying, no wonder Say it''s time to warm up.

    Chapter 376 Unique Customization


    The next thing will be a matter of course. They welcome An Feng''s joining. He also has a lot of funds and can use tens of billions. If he doesn''t invest here, he plans to buy hundreds of tons of gold and hoard it. After An Feng made his statement, John talked with several bigwigs about the use of funds.


    To be honest, An Feng��s understanding of his financial situation is not as good as that of John��s. He can get all the information at any time, but there are too many and complicated accounts. With his personality, he can��t stand it at all. Joanna usually helps to check and sort them out Give him some advice on the financial report.


    As a participant, An Feng will provide 30 to 5 billion US dollars to join this money game. The consortium has a well-known investment bank and holds many puppet investment banks. The business involved is not only in the United States, but also in the world. They fall under the shadow of the financial mafia.


    As for how to operate, it has nothing to do with An Feng, it depends on those smart heads on Wall Street. All of you here are the so-called mysterious behind-the-scenes people from the outside world, the black hands who disrupt the financial order. They provide a steady stream of funds and collect the wealth of the world through complicated methods.


    As for the benefit situation, when to withdraw, or to add funds, John and An Feng''s think tank team will analyze it. It is still very reassuring to cooperate with their own people. According to Zell, they are very industrial-oriented.


    ��


    The guests who visited at night spent some time visiting Anfeng��s mansion. To be honest, it was like visiting a famous place. Everyone was completely overwhelmed by this luxury. You can��t say it��s an explosion, because it��s called art, and art requires Versailles The palace is also resplendent and resplendent, can you say it exploded?


    The mansion that An Feng used to entertain them has attracted a lot of attention. The exterior is fresh and elegant, but the interior is magnificent. There is nothing more luxurious than this. Even Anderson, who has lived in the White House for several years, has nothing to say about it... The White House Don''t dare to coat all metals with a layer of gold.


    At the end of the reception, several important members of the consortium chatted with Anderson about the campaign.


    Although the president''s term of office has not yet come, the election is generally prepared one or two years in advance. Since Anderson came to power, the United States is still relatively well-behaved. , When there is trouble in the world, do people look to China or Russia? No, they turned to the United States to settle accounts. In fact, the Anderson government''s focus is on the economy.


    Now that the United States has been the No. 2 in terms of GDP for several years in a row, and the gap with China is widening, it has to catch up. If it fights a few more battles like Bush Jr. and exhausts the wealth accumulated by the previous presidents in the United States, the government will also It''s time to think about how to repay their huge foreign debts.


    In terms of economy, Anderson has done a good job. In fact, as long as he gives the green light to the companies related to the consortium, it is easy to restore part of the economic vitality. Judging from the support rate in the polls, it has increased by a few percentage points compared with before the election. The future of the consortium is still very prosperous in the next few years.


    "We will help you to promote positively, improve your chances of re-election, and be president for a few more years." Bazel said.


    Anderson also knew what Bazel wanted to say in his heart. Maintain close cooperation with them. The position of the president and his life in the future will be prosperous. He nodded: "Thank you for your support. In the past, some things were not perfect. You can understand."


    "There will always be times when you can''t help yourself in this seat, but I will support you." An Feng said that he now has a dual identity and a person with votes.


    "Thank you!" Anderson smiled and clinked wine glasses with him, facing the others: "Thank you for your care in the past years!"


    "Who told us to be in the same group!" Matthew said with a smile, he raised his glass, "I wish us good luck in the coming year! Thank the Lord!"


    ��


    After the reception, a small number of guests stayed, and the rest took their leave.


    Bazel and his wife stayed behind, and it was not convenient to fly back at night because they lived far away. However, Matthew''s child was still in the hotel and had to go back to Los Angeles for the night. He planned to bring his wife and children over for a day or two tomorrow. Because besides the mansion, Anfeng also has 300 acres of recreational land.


    By the way, they will also talk about other things.


    When the guests visited the next day, An Feng took them around in an electric car. After the introduction, they were free to move around. Everyone went boating on the artificial lake. The artificial lakes in some parks are large in size and beautiful in scenery.


    There is a small island in the middle of the lake with a Chinese-style pavilion on it. If you are tired from rowing, you can land on the island in the middle of the lake. The island is not big, more than 20 meters square, surrounded by blooming flowers, sitting in the gazebo, the surroundings are very quiet, and there are a few insects and birds from time to time.


    You can also bring some fish food and feed the lively fish around.


    Playing until the afternoon, according to An Feng��s intention, the housekeeper was in charge of the picnic. On the grass by the lake, under the shadow of several big trees, two simple dining tables were assembled. Folding chairs were placed around the shade of the trees. There are biscuit desserts and fruit on top, and there are several bottles of fine wine.


    A leisurely afternoon was spent amid laughter.


    ��


    The days were peaceful, until An Feng came across a Maserati spy car while wandering around the racing track one day.


    Maserati has been developing new models since last year. It has received the help of Ans Industries and GP. Ans Industries has provided some complex parts made with 3D printers. Traditional methods consume a lot of materials. 3D printers are different, not only Save, and be faster.


    An Feng couldn''t tell what the car looked like in the spy photos. The car is currently well camouflaged, tattered, covered in black plastic, and even the windows are covered with black film. The test driver drove on the track lap by lap, the voice was very low, and he did not use the amplification technology of the racing car, but the performance was good.


    After about five laps, the Maserati team checked in the maintenance room.


    An Feng went to watch. At this time, the F1 track and pits were closed, but he was always the exception. Looking at this car from a close distance, the tires are relatively large, which should be 21-inch wheels. Due to the design of the mid-engine, the driver''s seat is moved forward, and the front face is relatively small.


    It happened that the engineer of the team was also there, so An Feng chatted with him.


    The engineer knew An Feng''s identity and that he was a professional racing driver, so he didn''t hide anything from him. He told him some data about the racing car, but later he felt that it was not enough image, so he asked An Feng to experience it, but he was naturally disrespectful. Few car fans in the world can meet.


    But it is a pity that the interior is the same as the exterior, covered with all kinds of camouflage, only flat, a bit like the F1 steering wheel, plus the huge LCD instrument panel is very technological, after starting the sports car, driving a few laps on the track, currently The two motors put out 900 horsepower, which is a little lower than expected.


    In terms of acceleration performance, the efficiency of the electric motor is naturally the same as that of the regulated internal combustion engine. The acceleration from 100 kilometers can be controlled at about 2.7 seconds. Maybe it can be faster after removing the camouflage. Security cannot be guaranteed.


    After the test drive, An Feng said to the engineer: "The horsepower of the electric motor cannot be increased?"


    The engineer said: "According to the current technology and electric motor layout, it may be difficult to achieve the standard of 1100 horsepower."


    "At least one thousand." An Feng said, except for the Porsche 918, the horsepower of the previous generation of the three beasts was all above 900. This generation will be at least closer, or even more than one thousand. It is said that Ferrari''s F80 is expected to break through One thousand, as a competitive model, it must not be weak.


    The engineer said: "We need to continue to modify, but we must also consider that it is a civilian sports car, and the life of the motor is also a restrictive factor."


    An Feng naturally knows that it can be squeezed to 1100, but the motor can only be used for thousands of kilometers, and then it will be scrapped. It is no problem to use it on a racing car. If a civilian sports car dares to do this, the lawsuit will probably be crazy... An Feng chatted with them Many details, the focus is still on the motor.


    Later on, An Feng simply decided to do research and development himself.


    He got this heavy-weight engine, and it was airlifted by helicopter to the Ans Industrial Headquarters. According to his style, in order to achieve the goal, the cost is usually not considered, so this time, the more expensive silver wire is used. The resistivity of silver is very low, and the magnetism of the electromagnet is stronger.


    Silver wire is always ideal for electric motors.


    After a period of transformation, the final cost of the motor was 50% higher than the original one. According to the actual measurement results, the motor has met his requirements, and then installed it on the Esplosione, and let the engineer conduct a special test. The car rolls out.


    An Feng also acted as a test driver this time.


    The driving feeling has been improved a lot compared to the original one. The horsepower of the electric motor is stronger, and the acceleration force in the middle and rear stages is constant. The transmission can maintain the efficiency of the electric motor at about 90%, while the theoretical maximum of the internal combustion engine is 36%. The two are incomparable. The actual measurement results show that the maximum power of Esplosione reaches 1020 horsepower, and the difficulty of the electric motor is suddenly broken through, at the cost of burning money.


    But An Feng likes to burn it this way.


    In another half a month, it officially removed its camouflage, and the outer shell was installed on the sports car. An Feng participated in the test run. This time it was a real and intense driving, intending to test its limit. In terms of acceleration performance, 100 kilometers can be controlled in about 2.5 seconds, and it only takes 5.5 seconds to accelerate from rest to 200 kilometers.


    That is to say, its 100-200 acceleration section takes 3 seconds, an overwhelming advantage. Although it is not as good as the MC car in front of Anfeng, there is no need for a supercar to compete with the car. Its goal is the road. On the track, An Feng ran the fastest lap of 1 minute and 35 seconds.


    The fastest time he drove the McLaren P1 was 1 minute and 38 seconds, and the Ferrari LaFerrari also had the same number, and now it is 3 seconds faster, which is definitely in line with the level of the next generation of competitors. The aerodynamic shape plays a key role, and the maximum acceleration can reach 2 Gs, it is in line with the identity of a top supercar.


    If it is converted into a racing car, it will definitely surpass the record of 1 minute and 26 seconds of the MC racing car.


    In terms of top speed, the sports car can reach a maximum speed of 370 kilometers per hour on the straight road, and the theoretical top speed is around 410. It is estimated that it will take a longer straight road to measure it. The current results have satisfied the team. Whether it is a sports car or a racing car, it is difficult to reach a speed of more than 400.


    Now it is mid-April, and the Maserati team plans to make the Esplosione debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. If it goes well, it can accept new orders. Considering the price of 850,000 US dollars, it is not high, and the limited edition is 299 units, only a few people can own it.


    Then An Feng shyly made a request��to make him a unique and customized one.


    "The current chassis is still used, but in terms of appearance, I hope to add air intakes above the front wheels to provide air cooling for the brakes, and then use graphene bulletproof glass for the windows. The hood at the rear of the car is transparent. How about adjusting the carbon fiber spoiler and rear diffuser?"


    An Feng''s request is indeed not polite. He modified the original supercar with racing specifications. Many aspects are used for professional racing cars, which makes its appearance extremely aggressive, but it also conforms to the requirements of road sports cars. Standard, a beefed-up, but road-legal road racer.


    Just like Ferrari created a unique P4/5 sports car for ashes fans back then, what An Feng wanted was this kind of customization that is the only one in the world. The mass-produced Esplosione is handsome, but he doesn''t feel manic. He just wants to have an appearance that doesn''t look easy to mess with.


    Correspondingly, the performance must also be re-adjusted. If necessary, carbon fiber is not used, and the body is directly made of stronger and lighter graphene to carry out the lightweight to the end. He doesn''t care too much about extreme speed, because sports cars don''t drive in a straight line, what matters is track performance.

As the boss, An Feng has made contributions to the research and development of electric motors...Although the formwork was the first, he spent more than ten kilograms of silver to transform it, but in terms of shape and arrangement, it is a novel breakthrough. If he applies for a patent If so, it belongs to An Feng.


    But he didn''t care about the patent, and left it to Maserati. The result of the final discussion was a standard Esplosione, the second car. The first car Maserati kept in the museum, and the second car he manufactured belonged to him. In addition, we provide unique customized models in the world, which are designed according to his requirements.


    At present, hurry up to test and try to make an appearance at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, and then the plan is to set lap times��specifically the N��rburgring Nordschleife. An Feng is signing up now. He hopes to set a lap record of less than 6 minutes in a sports car, but that is a fantasy. The ideal is less than 6 minutes and 50 seconds.


    The research and development of the flagship sports car came to an end, and An Feng continued to care about other things.


    The research and development of the robot company is also in full swing. Anfeng''s second-generation plan is the final plan of bionics. The next three or four generations will not be developed by humans, because the machines will become stronger as they go, and humans cannot adapt to them. The purpose of the second generation is also mainly for civilian use.


    But to put it bluntly, it is not difficult for professionals to switch from civilian use to private use. The key to controlling robots lies in the computer. The team at GP is still in research and development, and has completed the study of quantum theory. It is still a long way to go to biotechnology. long.


    The time has come to May, Roger and Miranda''s wedding is coming soon.


    As their good friends and the first group of people An Feng met in the United States, he couldn''t be absent from this wedding. A week before the event, An Feng went to see Roger. Their new home is in line with the trend of young people, and it is in Beverly Hills, where big names and rich people gather.


    Santa Barbara is not far from Los Angeles. This time An Feng drove the car himself.


    The Koenigsegg Agera-R goes south along Highway 1. The charm of the rare supercar is very strong. An Feng��s excellent driving skills make it perform at will. In the past, the owners of supercars were somewhat cautious. Only he Only a professional driver can completely control this beast.


    Roger��s mansion is in a higher place in Beverly Hills. In this area of ??Los Angeles, living in a high place usually means a better view and more money. Beverly Hills is also divided into layers. Although the neat mansions at the front are also luxurious, they are not as luxurious as the tall ones.


    The sports car came to the door, Roger in casual clothes came to open the door for him, and the car drove in.


    After getting out of the car, Roger hugged him: "Man, long time no see!"


    "I didn''t invite you last time!" An Feng said, taking off his sunglasses.


    "Oh! Is this Xingshi''s questioning?" Roger smiled and invited him into the room, "You don''t know, there are so many things about getting married, I almost fainted."


    "It''s a big event in life, it''s normal to be busy." An Feng said, when he got married before, he spent several million, and someone took care of the whole process.


    There are other guests in the living room, six ladies, all of whom are in good shape, and some of them are common faces, probably some Hollywood actress. Due to the nature of Miranda''s work and Roger''s wide circle of friends, he is considered to be the person in the consortium who has more connections with the entertainment industry.


    Roger clapped his hands: "Ladies, let me introduce, this is my good friend, racing driver, inventor and super rich Bruce!"


    "Hi!" The ladies all greeted with a smile. People in Vanity Fair must be good at observing words and emotions. They have known Roger''s identity before, and his background is very deep. Some entertainment tycoons have given him face, and he can treat him solemnly. , is obviously also of extraordinary origin.


    "Hi, girls!" An Feng used a younger and playful address.


    "Come and sit here!" A blonde girl moved away and invited him to sit on the sofa surrounded by ladies.


    An Feng smiled: "Wow, such a high salary?"


    "Come on!" They said enthusiastically.


    Roger rescued him: "Calm down, Bruce is a man with a family, a married man!"


    "Oh!" the ladies let out disappointed tones.


    Roger continued with a smile: "But, his wife is not here now, so give him some enthusiasm and warmth, I believe he won''t mind."


    Said that Roger pushed him from behind, but he was disrespectful, so he sat among Yingying and Yanyan, surrounded by all kinds of perfume smells, but although the words were frivolous, everyone behaved well, they were well-known in the entertainment industry, and there were Their respective boyfriends do not have the conditions to mess around.


    Besides, An Feng was not interested in this either. After sitting down, Miranda brought new fruits and snacks, and Roger asked, "How is Joanna?"


    "It''s okay, I''m a little dizzy today, I''m resting at home." An Feng said, "I want to know in advance the format of the party and what gifts you want."


    "Whatever gift you want." Roger gave the most difficult answer, "As for the party, it must be Las Vegas Carnival Night to celebrate my last night of being single. Just like before, we made a big mess, the first Clean up the embarrassing battlefield in two days."


    "Is this crazy?" Miranda said.


    "It''s safe to bring you along, right?" Roger said with a smile, "You know this is just a celebration, and I won''t think about anything else."


    "I know, but will my friends accept it?" Miranda said.


    "Bruce, what''s the idea?" Roger looked at An Feng.


    "It''s okay, just don''t be so intense a little bit, do you understand that you were almost scolded by the police last time?" An Feng said.


    Roger said: "Okay, then let''s behave."


    ��


    It turned out that Roger was an unreliable professional. On the night of the bachelor party, his friends from all walks of life booked him out for a carnival night. They directly booked a local nightclub. The whole venue was covered with celebration banners, which were displayed with LED lights. There are about a hundred friends, but there are waiters with a ratio of two to one. More than two hundred waitresses play various roles, bunny girls, female police officers, female doctors... There are also enchanting strippers, and even DJs They are also all three-point beauties. The audience was immersed in the ocean of celebration.


    How crazy An Feng is can''t describe, anyway, he crossed from one side of the dance floor to the other, was touched by a female salty pig''s hand, his chest, **** and face, and a bunny girl left a kiss on his face, and returned to Joanna''s side At that time, she looked at her with strange eyes, An Feng was puzzled, she pointed to her cheek, An Feng reached out to wipe it, it turned red, he explained with a wry smile: "I want to say that I was forced."


    "Come back to me," she said.


    "OK." An Feng went back to her and sat down. Joanna buttoned up his shirt for him, "How dare you dare to provoke my man."


    At this time, a female police officer came. What was inconsistent with it was that she was wearing hot pants, showing her long legs, and performed a twerk dance to An Feng. The shaking buttocks were only a few centimeters away from him. Joanna He took out the banknotes in his handbag, grabbed a handful and threw them aside: "Go and dance over there!"


    The beautiful police officer blew a kiss to An Feng, and twisted her **** to pick up the money.


    An Feng smiled and said to Joanna: "This is just a celebration, we should be happy."


    Joanna turned and sat on his lap, put her arms around his neck, then took his hand and hugged her waist, she said: "It''s true, including breasts, waist and buttocks, it''s all for you , do you want to find the kind of silicone injections to fill the buttocks and plastic surgery?"


    "Really?" An Feng turned to look at the policewoman, no wonder the proportions were so exaggerated.


    "Look at me!" Joanna turned his head back, "Between that cheap fake and your real one, which one should you choose?"


    "Of course it''s you, you are my wife!" An Feng hugged her and leaned on the sofa, touching her face, "Are you in a bad mood recently and always lose your temper?"


    "I don''t know." She suddenly sighed, "Sorry, I just can''t help it!"


    "It''s okay, at worst, we''ll leave later." An Feng said.


    "No!" She shook her head, "I mean, don''t think too much about me, you have to have your own fun, understand? As long as it''s within the bottom line, I don''t mind."


    "OK, OK, speak slowly." An Feng held her face, "Everything is up to you, okay?"


    "Yeah." She nodded, "I''m so sorry."


    "It''s okay." An Feng said, "Are you..."


    "Oh! Wait a minute, I have to go to the bathroom." Joanna stood up, and An Feng also stood up, sending her to the door of the women''s bathroom.


    After a while, she came out, An Feng asked with concern: "Are you okay?"


    "Suddenly felt a little nauseous." She frowned, "I haven''t eaten indiscriminately recently, have I?"


    "Could it be that you are pregnant?" An Feng asked, usually bad temper, dizziness and nausea are some symptoms, some people have strong reactions, while others are not obvious.


    Joanna froze for a moment: "Really?"


    "Have you had your menstrual period this month?" An Feng asked.


    "No." She shook her head and suddenly covered her mouth, "Oh! I think it must be!"


    An Feng was also surprised: "Oh! My God!"


    "We have to buy pregnancy test paper later, no, I want to go now." Joanna said.


    "Okay, it doesn''t take much time." An Feng said, greeted Roger who was being fed wine by a beautiful woman, went out and asked the nightclub manager to send them a car, and went to a nearby supermarket... After returning, brew in the bathroom , Joanna walked out with a calm face.


    "How is it?" An Feng asked her.


    She picked up the pregnancy test paper and showed him the obvious two red lines. An Feng stared at it, thinking in his mind that he was going to be a father, and there would be a little kid in the family, a follower. After realizing it, he laughed. He picked her up and said, "I''m going to be a father!"


    "Keep it down!" Joanna said, "I''m not ready to let other people know."


    "Okay, I''ll listen to you." An Feng put her down and looked at her carefully.


    "Looking at what?" she said.


    "I can''t feel it." An Feng was puzzled.


    "Haha!" She laughed, "Who told you that you can feel it right after you get pregnant? Some people have been pregnant for three months, and their stomachs are still flat!"


    "Oh, yes." No wonder An Feng, he rarely observed carefully, when her sister was pregnant with a bear child, he was still studying in school.


    "Come on! Let''s continue to party!"


    Joanna was leading the way, and she didn''t mind the noise and the ubiquitous **** and thighs. She sat in the corner and pressed her mobile phone, with a smile on her face from time to time. An Feng smiled when she saw it, and said There is anxiety, but when it really comes, she is the happiest.

 Chapter 378： not easy

    Chapter 378 is not easy


    To be sure, An Feng decided to go to the hospital for an examination after attending Roger''s wedding... After the bachelor party, the wedding is about to take place. An Feng and Joanna both attended the banquet and presented a pair made with a 3D printer. A crystal doll modeled after Roger and Miranda.


    This is also a very creative gift, because everyone is not short of money, and the gift should be just right. If it doesn''t work, you can give a few gold bars... When the wedding banquet is over, and the day after returning to Santa Barbara, An Feng took her Go to the doctor and listen to the results in the office after the test.


    The doctor looked at the computer, smiled and said, "Congratulations, Madam is pregnant!"


    "You are going to be a mother!" An Feng congratulated her. Although she was close to each other, she was pleasantly surprised to hear the doctor''s personal confirmation.


    Joanna smiled happily, and listened to some doctors'' advice, precautions, medicines that should not be taken, etc. After listening, An Feng, who was in a good mood, took her hand and came out. A black Phantom was parked outside the hospital gate. The driver saw the two coming out and opened the door.


    "Be careful!" An Feng covered the roof of the car with his hand.


    "I haven''t reached the point where I have limited mobility." Joanna said, smiling and sitting in the car. An Feng closed the door for her before going to the other side to get on the car.


    "It''s always right to be careful." An Feng said.


    Joanna flipped through the pamphlet given by the doctor, touched her still flat stomach, and then turned to look at An Feng: "Honey, do you want a boy or a girl?"


    An Feng said without thinking, "Girl!"


    "Why?" Joanna was curious about his decisiveness.


    "Girls are so cute, isn''t there a saying: all daughters are my father''s lover in my previous life? I just want to see what my lover in my previous life was like." An Feng said with a smile, his concept is different from traditional Chinese thinking, it doesn''t matter Men and women, anyway, I like it.


    "It''s interesting." Joanna smiled, "But you''d better not use this kind of expression in the future."


    "Why?" An Feng was puzzled.


    Joanna said: "This is from Freud''s article, the love-father plot corresponding to the love-mother, it is distorted, and its essence is different from what you want to say."


    "Oh... I understand." An Feng understood, but he didn''t expect that the original author wanted to express a different meaning to the very warm sentence that was circulated in China.


    An Feng continued: "It would be nice if it was a boy."


    "If a child is like Andy, making trouble and crying all day long, and can''t stop for a moment, I''m afraid you will suffer!" Joanna said.


    An Feng said: "Don''t you think such a lively child is interesting?"


    "No, I just like obedient ones." She said melancholy, "Too lively will make you gnash your teeth... I''m really worried about ruining my image in front of children."


    Talking about the characteristics of men and women all the way, back home.


    After confirming the good news, they naturally shared it with their family members. An Feng and Joanna each picked up the phone and started chatting with their family members. An Feng guessed that it was almost morning in China, so he called the landline at home, and after ringing a few times, his mother''s voice came: "Hello, Xiaofeng?"


    "It''s me, Mom." An Feng said, "Are you free now? I have good news for you!"


    "It''s free, your dad and I are having breakfast." Mom said.


    "That''s even better. I have something important to tell you, that is, Joanna is pregnant! By next year, you will all be grandparents!" An Feng announced loudly. He has been nagged by them recently, saying that he has been married for so long , Joanna''s stomach didn''t move or anything.


    "Really?" Mom said, and the joy in her tone could already be heard.


    "I won''t make fun of this." An Feng said.


    After that, I heard a call from the other end of the phone, and then the voice of my mother talking to my father: "Old man, your daughter-in-law is pregnant!"


    Then the mother''s voice came again: "How long has it been?"


    "It''s been almost a month, I just found out recently." An Feng said, "The expected date of delivery is after January next year."


    My mother told my father some more, and then gave more detailed instructions than the doctor.


    How long did it take... An Feng was sitting on the sofa when he was making a phone call, and the back turned into cross-legged leaning, and then he lay on his side, and then he slept on it when he was tired. His mother was still imparting experience, and An Feng opened After turning off the hands-free, looking around boredly, I found that Joanna was also holding a cordless phone and chatting with Kelly for a long time, nodding and uttering monosyllables... I guess most parents are the same.


    After talking about it, An Feng said: "Don''t worry, Mom, I will hire a special nursing team for her to ensure that she is always treated with the highest standard of pregnant women''s treatment until the baby is born smoothly. What you said I Also remember, put your heart back into your stomach."


    In the end, money is invincible, An Feng''s words finally made my mother feel relieved.


    Joanna was almost told, and hung up the phone with a sigh of relief: "Being a mother is really troublesome."


    "You will too in the future." An Feng got up and pressed his phone, sending the message to Moments.


    After receiving a lot of responses and calls, Wang Le''s was the most competitive one. After finding out that he was the latest, he vowed to regain his advantage. An Fenghan, can this advantage be regained? Then there is the most exemplary, Matthew called and said that he was going to be the godfather of the child.


    There is a saying in Sicily: The world is too dangerous, a child must have two fathers.


    An Feng doesn''t mind Matthew being the child''s godfather. After all, Matthew is very qualified in terms of age and social status.


    The rest of the time was spent receiving congratulations. The manor also heard the good news. As soon as An Feng was happy, he decided to give out a bonus this month to celebrate his wife''s pregnancy. Because of this kind of behavior, Joanna became the most concerned person in the manor, and her every move was protected.


    Brandon, who thought the farthest, also started to look for professional pregnant women''s care, full-time postpartum care, nanny, etc. Don''t look at him as a man, but as an encyclopedia''s British housekeeper, these are really difficult he. He also went to exchange experiences with the former countess.


    After Joanna became pregnant, An Feng reduced his work and stayed in his manor with peace of mind.


    It was pretty good at the beginning, the whole person was in good spirits, and he was thinking about how to be a qualified father, but in the end, his life was not easy, because Joanna had a strong reaction during pregnancy, her body was uncomfortable, and her His temper is not very good.


    Sometimes An Feng just ignores small details, such as not paying attention to where she put the jewelry she replaced, and he will be accused for a few minutes. After complaining for a while, she said distressedly: "Am I very bad?"


    "No, the doctor said it''s all normal, just get used to it slowly." An Feng said with a smile. As long as he dares to nod his head, there will be no An Sheng tonight.


    She said melancholy: "The doctor said that it will get better in three months. You must forget about these three months."


    "What did you just say?" An Feng looked bewildered.


    "Very good." Satisfied with An Feng''s performance, she waved to him, "Come here."


    An Feng walked to the bed, half-kneeled on the carpet, and touched her belly: "It doesn''t seem to have changed much?"


    "The characteristics are not obvious in less than two months." She looked down at An Feng who was listening to the voice, "I have something to tell you."


    An Feng looked up, and she said, "I want to go to England to participate in the horse racing festival."


    "You''re pregnant, dear." An Feng said hesitantly.


    "It''s less than two months." She curled her lips. "After this time, I''m afraid I won''t be able to move around as much as I want in the second half of the year. Also, if I haven''t worn my custom-made clothes, they will be out of date next year. Stay here all day, I just want to change the environment and breathe air, do you think it��s okay?"


    An Feng realized that the following sentence was not an interrogative sentence, and he nodded cautiously: "Okay, but you have to make sure that you have to follow my arrangement of activities, and don''t make up your own mind."


    "Okay." She smiled, lowered her head and kissed An Feng on the face, "Miss me?"


    This is not a simple question. You have to say yes, but the first three months are not suitable. If you say no, she will probably get involved in the issue of charm, which is even worse. An Feng had a headache, so he could only seriously say: "Honey, you know that I love you very much, but let''s be peaceful at this time."


    "You''re right." She was satisfied.


    ��


    To be honest, An Feng''s concentration is quite strong, because he can use laziness to divert it, but Joanna wants to think about other things, and even loses her temper because of it, so he has no choice but to do what she says and fight for it. Be the perfect husband. He prayed in his heart that this period of time would pass quickly and that his gentle wife would come back.


    Being a mother is really not easy. She has a bad temper. An Feng doesn''t mind. Take a few mouthfuls, what you eat today, you will vomit the next day when you see it again, what you wanted to eat just now, you can��t do it after a few mouthfuls. In addition to several chefs who specialize in different styles, the family also orders meals from outside.


    It was okay at the beginning, but the good times didn��t last long. After three days, she couldn��t eat any more and could only drink some water. An Feng really didn��t know what to do. How can a person drink only water...Kelly helped in the end , Prepare some fruit for her, eat some honey to help the body absorb blood sugar, and the situation improves.


    After eating something in the afternoon, Joanna lay on the sofa to sleep. Kelly covered her with a blanket and left lightly.


    An Feng was waiting outside the door and asked, "Is it okay?"


    Kelly said: "It''s much better, and it will be fine after this period of time."


    An Feng sighed: "It''s really not easy to get pregnant."


    Kelly smiled: "This is what she was destined to experience. But it is really a blessing to have someone who cares about her so much."


    "Do my best." An Feng and she walked outside the house, came to the car, hugged her, and then opened the door for her, "See you next time!"


    "Be more patient, she is just as nervous as you." She said to An Feng.


    "I know, goodbye!" An Feng closed the car door, waved to her, and the driver drove away.


    ��


    Although she was not in good health, she arrived in London in mid-June as she wished.


    Being less than three months pregnant, her features are not obvious. She can''t see it when she wears a skirt, and her actions are no different from normal.


    It��s just that during this period of time, the taste is very tricky, and she doesn��t like to eat anything. In the United States, she wants to eat French food, but when she comes to the UK, she misses Italian food... An Feng struggles to do everything well, and the service of Express It also helped a lot. Angela is someone who has experienced it and provided a lot of advice.


    On the opening day of the horse racing festival, Joanna changed into her custom-made morning dress and a bright hat to attend this feast of dresses and hats. This early pregnancy does not want to be absent.


    Accompany her to watch the royal family and nobles appear on the stage, appreciate the fiery grand occasion of the racetrack, and chat with friends. The time is spent happily. The purpose of Joanna''s coming here was to change the environment and relax. She knew that she couldn''t control her temper, so she took a walk to adjust it.


    Not to mention the effect, in front of people, the lady-like qualities trained in her bones have played a role. She is still the gentle and pleasant Joanna. She can''t see any shortcomings from her body, and what she has is only charm. An Feng is also rarely relieved. She''s getting better, so she doesn''t have to worry too much.


    Then took the time to have a cup of tea with Khalid.


    Usually, the best time to find Khaled in the UK is from June to October. This is also the time period when a large number of rich people from the Middle East migrate to the UK, and Khaled is no exception. They talked about greening cooperation, and the contract has been finalized, the first one is urban greening of 500 million US dollars.


    If the effect is good, Qatar will rush to expand the green area before the World Cup, and the order may be 3 billion by then. In addition, cooperation in seawater desalination has also been launched. The Qatar royal family holds a 45% stake in the company and regularly distributes dividends every year.


    The other is the cooperation of bio-drinks, the negotiation is smooth, and it is expected to be realized before the end of the year. The Qatari government wants to obtain the agency rights in the surrounding areas, plus a certain share of the branch company. shipped from the factory.

 Chapter 379： When the backer

    Chapter 379 Being a backer


    In addition to the smooth cooperation with Qatar, the green business with Dubai is not a big problem. The other side, like Qatar, booked a small order for prudence and invested hundreds of millions of dollars. If they can turn the desert into an oasis, they will be happy to spend dozens of dollars. Billion down to build a better future.


    The activities of the horse racing festival continued, maybe it was really boring, and Joanna''s mood improved a lot after going out for a walk, or it may be that the symptoms of this emotional disorder have disappeared or adapted to the end. She has performed well these days, smiling and enthusiastic when she meets everyone.


    She also met her good friend at the horse race meeting. Isabella, whom she had met several times before, and the French girl were also interested in horse racing. When they met again, the conversation could not stop. After the Jockey Club, Joanna invited her to visit her home in London, and Isabella readily agreed.


    Of course An Feng is happy, it would be better to have someone to chat with her.


    He will be leisurely later, flipping through the newspaper to read the news, or go out and bring Joanna back some of her favorite snacks. Recently, her appetite is still not good, so she has to pay attention to changing her taste. Joanna and Isabella occasionally went out for a walk, gossip, the content is simple, but they can talk for a long time.


    Having a cup of afternoon tea, they were chatting, and An Feng went online to care about the finished Premier League matches. Liverpool was very stable in the later stage, but they were one step away from the championship. The points were two points less than the first, and they could be reversed with a victory, but it was over, and it was time for them to prepare for the Champions League.


    The victory or defeat of the Premier League does not determine the strength of the Champions League. Some sports newspapers analyzed that Liverpool is the favorite team to win the championship. Referring to the early stages of the Premier League, their performance and cooperation are a little rusty, but later they are mature and tacit understanding, and they will fight in this good state. The Champions League has great hopes of winning.


    In addition, the FIA-EGT event also kicked off, and the third stop is at Silverstone Circuit (England).


    An Feng was allowed to watch the race car. The GP team performed very well. John Cooper won one championship and one runner-up in the first two races, and ranked first in the third race. He will go all out on behalf of the team and compete for the personal championship. If there is hope, the team will also strive to get the top three points and win the team medal.


    After staying in London for a few more days, the journey ends and we return to California.


    The peaceful days continued, and relatives and friends from China came over in July. Mom and Dad eagerly came to see the pregnant daughter-in-law, and the bear child wanted to talk to her unborn cousin. The Sassen family also came to live for a while, and An Feng''s manor suddenly became lively.


    The manor is like a scenic spot. It is not a problem to spend ten days of leisure. There are many things to play, such as enjoying flowers and swimming in the lake, playing cards for leisure, horse riding for sightseeing, or swimming in the water, going to the beach to catch waves... After the most intense pregnancy reaction period, The familiar Joanna is back.


    Her temper has improved, her appetite has returned to normal, and her stomach is a bit swollen. An Feng specially prepared a scientific nutrition plan for her. The family hired four chefs, covering everything from Chinese food to Western food. The chefs work on shifts. She can eat whatever she wants. No matter what kind of food to cook, even if the ingredients have to be airlifted from abroad.


    Among other things, she pays attention to the consumption of bio-drinks. According to An Feng''s test, there is no contraindication for pregnant women to use bio-drinks, and it can also help improve complexion and refresh the mind... After August, An Feng learned some simple parenting experiences and became familiar with them in advance.


    The other thing is that the gender of the child can be determined, it is a girl. It really fulfilled An Feng''s wish. He really likes the cute little bangs in the speckled skirt. Although he was born early, he has already discussed with Joanna about the child''s styling, from hairstyle to clothing details.


    In early September, An Feng received a call from Wang Le.


    After listening to a few words, An Feng asked, "You want me to go back? What''s the benefit?"


    Wang Le said on the phone: "Does it count if I recommend you a business? It''s about the green earth. The government is interested. I know that we have cooperation with you through our relationship here, so I want to talk to you. And September is not Are there any foreign business partners visiting? My family would like to meet you too."


    "I''m such a big name, I''m afraid it''s not easy to invite me." An Feng said with a smile, but he was already planning the schedule in his heart. Some members of the consortium will visit their Chinese partners in September, and then set up the Greater China branch of Rand Investment Bank. Expand the consortium''s influence in the financial field.


    "I''ll recommend you a business worth billions of dollars, and I''ll let you live in a top suite in a five-star hotel. If your wife doesn''t mind, I''ll also provide you with a pretty girl. How about that? I''m worthy of your status as a consortium leader." Right?" Wang Le said jokingly.


    "Okay, I reluctantly agreed." An Feng said with a smile.


    "Give me a message before you come, and say hello to my wife for me, and wish her a happy life." Wang Le said.


    "Thank you." After An Feng said a few words, he hung up the phone.


    "Is it Jim?" Joanna walked over.


    "Come and sit down here." An Feng helped her to the sofa and asked her to sit down slowly. The features of her stomach are now obvious.


    "Don''t be so careful, I''m still very convenient now." Joanna said.


    "I don''t want my mother and girl to be hurt." An Feng knelt down in front of her, "Yes, I''m afraid I have to go back for a few days to do some business."


    "Don''t worry, I''m fine here." Joanna touched his face. Since she was pregnant, she has really been loved by thousands of people. The child has not yet been born, and the professional team has already found it. From taking care of pregnant women to Take care of the child''s life, and then to the nanny issue, one-stop preparation.


    "See you next time, baby." An Feng greeted her stomach, then raised his head and kissed Joanna, "And mom."


    ��


    Two days later, An Feng took his men and flew to China.


    The plane arrived in the morning, so he came a little earlier. The consortium''s visiting group is expected to arrive in the afternoon, and attend a dinner hosted by the Wang family. After they landed in City S, the Wang family sent a convoy to pick them up. They didn''t stop in City S, but went to Lake City, which is 100 kilometers away from City S.


    Wang Le and An Feng sat in the back row of the BMW, chatting about some things.


    Wang Le said carelessly: "It''s nothing else, it''s the old man in my family. The old man wants to see if a young man like you is superhuman. They worry that they won''t be able to figure out their temperament when they cooperate with foreigners, but you are different. You are so big, you want to be close to the mountain."


    An Feng said: "Why do you hear that what you said seems to be someone else''s business?"


    Wang Le shook his head: "I have no interest in them. I insisted on studying to avoid all kinds of arrangements. Otherwise, I would have traveled all over the world to pick up girls��you must not tell me about this. But to be fair, If you''re familiar, there''s help in China, right?"


    "I will save face for you." An Feng said with a smile. Wang Le didn''t explain much, but his family had their own troubles, especially those with a big family and a big business. When they encountered a golden opportunity that could increase their assets by more than ten times, differences and worries were inevitable.


    ��


    One hour later, I arrived at Hushi City, which is the misty and rainy Jiangnan area in the article. It is close to Taihu Lake, without the urgent life rhythm of S City. It is a place to recuperate and relax. The motorcade stopped in the city center first, and asked An Feng''s assistant and his men to book a hotel. An Feng''s car didn''t stop, and left the noisy city center for the outskirts of the city. Now the rich also like to live in clean suburbs.


    Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a villa, and a group of people stood outside.


    Wang Le stepped forward and introduced: "This is my grandfather, the other is my father, and the one with the beard is my uncle..."


    "This is Mr. An Fengan." Wang Le said.


    "Hello, Mr. Wang!" An Feng reached out to shake hands with Wang Le''s grandfather, and then shook hands with others. He looks natural, behaves well, and has his own demeanor.


    "I''m much older than you, so it''s okay to call me Xiaoan?" Mr. Wang said with a smile.


    "No problem, you are the elder." An Feng smiled.


    Several people present looked at him. Although he was a little young, he had a calm personality. I am afraid that he has seen more storms than them. After a simple meeting, each of them has a judgment in their hearts. They are people who have seen big scenes and are very courageous and confident. What Wang Le said earlier is not false at all.


    "Mr. An is a distinguished guest, please come inside quickly!" Wang Le''s father, Wang Shida, said sideways. He didn''t dare to call An Feng Xiaoan.


    An Feng nodded slightly, followed them into the house.


    The house occupies a large area. There are trees and flowers in the front yard, and the backyard is estimated to be even bigger. When you come to the house, the Chinese-style decoration is darker and calm, but it will feel heavy after a long time. It is suitable for some older people to live in, and the younger ones may not like it.


    Old man Wang said very kindly: "I''m tired of traveling, you must be hungry, right?"


    An Feng nodded: "It''s a little bit, I''m going to trouble everyone to entertain you."


    "Where is that, you are too polite." Mr. Wang invited them to sit down in the restaurant, and then someone brought wine and food, which was quite sumptuous.


    An Feng sat on the plane for more than ten hours, and when he saw these delicious meals again, it would be a lie to say that he had no appetite, and it would be impolite to pick up chopsticks. Then there is eating and chatting at the dinner table. The elders are very concerned about the affairs of the consortium, want to understand the key points of development, and also want to know the attitude of others.


    An Feng is also straightforward, as long as it does not involve confidential matters, he will explain properly.


    Mr. Wang said: "Thanks to little God, it is reasonable to have friends who can travel all over the world. We are all compatriots. I hope we can take care of each other in the future. Of course, you still need to worry about it. I thank you on behalf of everyone. We will all remember this friendship in our hearts.��


    "Master, you are being polite!" An Feng said kindly.


    Wang Shida also said: "On the big stage outside, we are newcomers and our strength is weak, but in China, we have a lot of friends, and we don''t make much progress in other things. There are still ways to ask people to find connections, and they can solve small troubles. This made Mr. laugh."


    An Feng expressed his attitude: "Elders, please rest assured that Wang Le and I are friends, and we will take care of each other in the future. Our group is very free, and everyone can develop their strengths and develop together. As long as it does not violate the interests of the group, we We will treat every friend seriously.��


    "Mr. Trouble." Wang Shida cupped his hands, and everyone expressed their thanks.


    In their view, as An Feng is a core member, his words are naturally the attitude of the consortium. At present, their understanding of the consortium is only at the superficial level. Although there is some cooperation, there is always a sense of fog. It was not until they got in touch with An Feng that they learned about those mysterious high-level officials.


    The goal of the consortium is straightforward: money.


    If possible, their ambition is to infect the wealth of the world. The whole group is in the process of continuous accumulation and development. The commodity economy and financial economy are spreading in other aspects. As long as they have the opportunity, they will penetrate into every part of the world. corner.


    So it is not easy to go down after getting on this boat. The benefits shared by the consortium are not given away in vain. They will be influenced by the consortium and do things according to their goals. But conversely, the consortium will also bring huge benefits, making their assets more than ten times, or even dozens of times, on the original basis.


    Facing such a huge group and target, the Wang family couldn''t help feeling uncertain, so they wanted to find a backer. An Feng became their first choice, no matter in terms of power or status, he is one of the best, although it is impossible to bother him with big and small things, but at least the important things will be guaranteed.


    The backing is not for nothing. Mr. Wang gave him treasures such as ginseng and deer antler. Ginseng has a history of hundreds of years and is worth tens of millions, and there is no market for it. The old man specially gave it to his wife, which is a great supplement for pregnant women after giving birth. And the biggest gift is the cooperation with the government.


    This is where the Wang family is connected. The government is very interested in customized landscaping and seawater desalination. The south is relatively rich in water resources, but the north is seriously short of water. Even with the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, for the long-term future, whether it is greening to improve the environment or desalination multiple times Use is worth cooperating with.


    If the business can be negotiated, the future contract may be tens of billions.


    Compared with the actual effects of the western United States and the Middle East, there is great hope that this business will be negotiated. Customers have no other choice, and there is only one company in the world who can do so. So the matchmaking of the Wang family was just right, bringing An Feng a huge piece of cake.

 Chapter 380： Biao for a while

    Chapter 380 Biao Duan


    I ate and drank some at noon, and there was a reception in the evening. An Feng had to go back to the hotel, so he didn''t stay. Mr. Wang originally wanted to arrange a driver to see him off, but Wang Le decided to come in person. He was thoughtful: "The driver at home has to go to the airport to pick up people in the afternoon, which is not enough."


    Old man Wang was right when he thought about it. Letting Wang Le pick him up in person showed his sincerity.


    When Wang Le took the car keys and was about to leave, his uncle Wang Shicai came over and said, "You can drop by to pick up Wang Keke from school. If it doesn''t suit you, we can take two cars."


    Wang Le nodded: "Don''t worry, I will let Lisa drive to pick up the unlucky girl, and I will personally send the guests over, so I promise to be on time."


    Wang Le drove away a BMW750 sedan and returned to the city center.


    He didn''t leave either, and stayed in the hotel with An Feng. Anyway, he still had to use a car in the afternoon, and it was inconvenient to go back and forth. An Feng was a little tired from the long journey, so he went back to his room to sleep after saying a few words. At 4:30 in the afternoon, he took a shower, put on a new suit, and when he came to the living room, Wang Le was on the phone.


    "Okay, come here now." Wang Le glanced at An Feng, "We are ready to go downstairs."


    "It''s not enough to send two people in one car, why is it so troublesome?" An Feng was puzzled.


    "Our family treats you as a VVIP!" Wang Le said with a smile, "But the little girl is very rebellious, and I''m afraid she will speak indiscriminately, so it''s better to be quarantined."


    An Feng asked: "Isolation?"


    Wang Le pressed the elevator and got used to it: "The girl of seventeen or eighteen is very rebellious. My father said that if she goes east, she will definitely go west. The school has changed several times. Last time she sneaked out to play and colluded with the bodyguard who picked her up. It was his father who went to the hospital in a car accident and directly deceived the teacher and the principal."


    "Pfft!" An Feng laughed, "This brat!"


    Wang Le shook his head: "There are too many places for bears. The excuse is that some family members jumped off the building, and my father went to a mental hospital. The bodyguards don''t cooperate. She has a lot of ways. If you cooperate, I will give you a few thousand yuan at a time. If you don''t do it, you may decide next time." People will be sacked in the street and stabbed with needles in the car."


    An Feng felt unbelievable: "Did you receive any stimulation?"


    Wang Le sighed: "When she was very young, her mother passed away, and her father was busy with business, so she was away 20 days a month, and the nanny took care of her."


    The elevator came to the underground parking lot. Wang Le drove the car out. Just after leaving the hotel door, the phone rang. Wang Le who answered the phone changed his expression: "Okay, I''ll go right away."


    "What''s going on?" An Feng asked.


    Wang Le drove in front and turned around, frowning: "Lisa was hit by an SUV, and the other party has a bad temper, I''ll go and see."


    The accident happened nearby, the other party''s SUV suddenly changed lanes, and the body of the car collided with the front of the car behind. The speed of the car was not fast, but the door of the SUV was also dented. There are traffic police on duty and it is currently being processed.


    They went over to check, Lisa was fine, she was just angry at the other party''s low quality.


    Two traffic policemen were coordinating and recording. Wang Le looked at each other and asked, "Where are you from, buddy?"


    The other party listened to his tone, looked at his car again, did not speak, and whispered to each other, not knowing what to think.


    The responsibility for the accident is obvious, and the other party is fully responsible. The traffic police suggested that after the insurance company arrives, if there is any extra money, then it will be private. An Feng looked speechless, don''t waste other people''s time if you don''t have money.


    Wang Le is also annoyed: "If you are released abroad, you will be handcuffed on the ground with a gun pointed at your head, motherfucker!"


    Lisa''s cell phone rang at this time, and after answering the phone and saying a few words, she said to Wang Le: "Ke Ke said she is at the school gate."


    "Let her stay obediently and don''t run around to play." Wang Le said.


    An Feng saw that he couldn''t escape, so he said: "You stay here to deal with things, and I will drive your car and pick up the child along the way."


    "Do you have a driver''s license?" Wang Le asked.


    An Feng said strangely: "Your wife can drive here legally, why can''t I have a driver''s license? I''m still a diplomat!"


    Wang Le thought for a while: "Okay, I''ll let her know first, and then I''ll send you a few photos of her, it''s easy to recognize."


    Looking at the photo, An Feng found it really easy to recognize.


    An Feng got on the car and set the GPS destination to a nearby private school, the distance is not too far, about ten kilometers. It happened to be the end of school time. When we arrived, there was a long queue of luxury cars at the gate of the school, and there were traffic police nearby directing the traffic, and the horn rang from time to time.


    He drove the car to the door, turned around and found someone.


    A tall girl in her early 1.7 meters, wearing a hat slanted, holding an Herm��s handbag in one hand, holding a cup of coffee in her hand, pressing her mobile phone with the other hand, and listening to music with earplugs. She wears smoky makeup, dark lipstick, and dyed hair at the ends that fall to her shoulders. Loose beggar pants on the lower body, a pair of high-top boots with silver metal ornaments... This outfit is quite trendy on the streets of Europe and America, but it is very different here.


    Looking very rebellious, she looked up at the car, opened the door without saying a word, threw her handbag in, then turned around and left with a coffee cup, came to a black Mercedes in front, opened the door, and put the safety bag in front of her. Feng thinks that the coffee she bought for drinking was spilled into it.


    A few screams sounded, the girl smiled and clapped her hands and walked back. Two distressed girls came out from the car. They looked quite pretty, but unfortunately they were covered in coffee stains and they were in a distress. They stamped their feet and cursed on the spot. He didn''t answer, he raised his hand and raised his middle finger!


    The male and female students around looked sideways, with accustomed expressions on their faces, and no one came to stop the girl who caused trouble. Wang Keke sat in the back seat of the BMW, and the door slammed shut. An Feng looked up at the rearview mirror and said, "Violence is not the solution to the problem."


    "You don''t care." Wang Keke said nonchalantly, "Remind you, driver! The two green tea whores will find someone to take revenge later. If you are afraid of death, let me get off at the first two intersections and tell my dad Being sold to Africa has nothing to do with you. If you are not afraid of death, I will call an ambulance for you!"


    An Feng shook his head, started the car and left without speaking.


    Wang Keke waited for a few seconds but An Feng didn''t reply, so he took out the mirror from his handbag and began to put on lipstick on his own.


    After a while, she put down the mirror: "Hey, you''re in trouble, look behind."


    An Feng glanced at the rearview mirror, and several black Mercedes followed him.


    Seeing him still driving slowly, Wang Keke, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, said, "Aren''t you afraid? Driving so slowly, my grandma can overtake you!"


    "Drive safely." An Feng said.


    "So you are not deaf." Wang Keke smiled, "But you will regret it soon."


    "Really?" An Feng smiled and followed the car in front and turned left.


    Wang Keke said: "The father of those two green tea whores digs coal at home. If I treat them like this, I will definitely call several cars to stop me and ask for an explanation."


    "Aren''t you afraid?" An Feng asked back.


    "It would be best to kill me." She said nonchalantly.


    An Feng continued to drive for a certain distance, leaving the city center, and the surrounding buildings and vehicles gradually decreased. Wang Keke yawned: "It''s so boring, they are all following behind you openly, you can''t go faster, even if it is It would be nice if there was a car accident at the next intersection!"


    "Sorry." An Feng said nonchalantly.


    "What?" Wang Keke was puzzled, but in the next second, she knew why.


    There are few people and few cars, no police nearby, and no one responds to shouting. The other party obviously wants to stop the car for errands. An Feng will not be stupid and wait for trouble. He turned off some electronic assistance of BMW, such as DSC (Driving Stability System), This allows the wheels to slip freely and oversteer at will.


    As soon as the green light at the intersection came on, An Feng let go of the brake with his left foot, and just now he kept stepping on the accelerator with his right foot��this is a simple ejection start. The BMW 750 has an acceleration performance of 4.6 seconds per 100 kilometers, and in the ejected state, it is even faster. , Without electronic assistance, it is even crazier.


    Wang Keke in the back seat was pressed on the seat. This luxury car has the mania of a sports car. The friction between the tires and the ground produces smoke. There is no driving stability system. Excessive acceleration will cause the rear of the car to swing, and the car is almost twisting on the road. He moved forward with his buttocks, and threw off the pursuers at once.


    The speed of the vehicle has increased to 140. Before a crossroad ahead, An Feng played a high-speed drift with a four-wheel drive vehicle. The tires scraped the ground and swept past. Before she could catch her breath, the tires and engine continued to roar, and then drifted to the left. She flew back to the original position again, and the mobile phone had already flown to the front row.


    But her body was not stable yet, An Feng pressed the accelerator to the bottom to accelerate, and she hit the seat, the speed buzzed to about 180, the car in front changed lanes, An Feng stepped on the brake with his left foot, and gasped with his right foot, Turning the steering wheel violently, the luxury car struggled to do the lateral movement that sports cars are good at, and passed from the other side.


    Wang Keke almost flew from the back seat to the front row due to the inertia of the brakes. She didn''t even have time to scream. The first thing she did when she got back was to pull the seat belt, but the speed was too fast and the driving movements were erratic, so she couldn''t buckle it up! The car flicked again, and she flipped out again...


    This crazy ride lasted for several minutes.


    Finally, Wang Ke was holding onto the front seat to stabilize her body. After panting, she looked up at the rearview mirror. The driver''s face never changed, as if the intense racing just now was just an illusion. She''s about to collapse, what kind of driver is this?


    The chasing soldiers have long been thrown into an unknown corner. It is a dream to chase the top racers with their driving skills.


    An Feng returned to driving smoothly, looked up at the rearview mirror, and reminded: "The makeup is messed up. In addition, it is best to remind your father, be careful that you will be beaten to death when you go to school tomorrow! Finally, don''t worry about calling an ambulance for me. I''m not your driver, I just drive once tonight."


    "Ah oh." Wang Keke smiled, wiped his face with a tissue, then stretched his head over, tilting his head to look at him: "You were so cool just now!"


    "Thank you." An Feng''s face was calm.


    "Tomorrow is Saturday, I don''t have to go to school, and they can''t beat me to death." She smiled and said, "Can you take me to school the day after tomorrow?"


    "I''m not a driver." An Feng said.


    "So you must be a race car driver?" she said.


    "It is." An Feng said.


    Wang Keke said with great interest: "I have a Porsche sports car, how about we go to Biaoshan Road tonight? I know there are racing cars nearby, and they can make hundreds of thousands of dollars a night. It doesn''t matter if you don''t know the road conditions, I can be your pilot I am familiar with the mountain roads there."


    An Feng shook his head: "Sorry girl, I can make hundreds of thousands in a minute."


    "Bragging!" Wang Keke didn''t believe it, "But because you are so cool, uncle, I forgive you!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 381： to be worshiped

    Chapter 381 Worshiped


    An Feng did not speak, glanced at the GPS, and continued driving.


    "You are so boring, you must not have a girlfriend?" Wang Keke guessed, "If you don''t answer, it means acquiescence."


    An Feng ignored the second-year middle school youth and drove on his own. About ten minutes later, he arrived at Wang''s house, the car stopped at the door, got out of the car and walked directly to the door, the bodyguards who were changing guards had never seen such a dragging driver, and just about to speak, the devil queen behind him followed up: "Mind your own business! "


    Wang Ke could find something for An Feng, or have any grievances or grievances, but she saw her father coming out to greet him with a smile on his face, so she realized that it was a guest. After Wang Shida invited An Feng into the room, he glared at Wang Keke: "A parent called today, saying that you bullied his two daughters!"


    "It deserves it!" Wang Keke laughed thinking of that scene.


    Wang Shida reminded her: "There are very important guests at home today, please behave yourself, if there is any mistake, be careful and I will put you in confinement."


    "You think I''m legally ill? If you dare to do this, I''ll call the police and arrest you." Wang Keke said, staggering him into the room.


    "Grandpa and grandma, here I come!"


    After Wang Keke entered, she changed her appearance and became lively and cute. She specially greeted her grandparents, obviously she doesn''t usually live here. Wang Shida lost his anger a lot when he saw it, but the next moment he heard Wang Keke complain to her grandma, saying how her father scolded her just now.


    Mrs. Wang''s eyes on Wang Shida changed, full of warning. After An Feng saw this scene, he almost burst out laughing.


    This destructive power is really strong!


    ten minutes later.


    Wang Le, who dealt with the accident, also arrived on time at this time. A few minutes later, a welcome convoy composed of BMWs and Mercedes-Benz arrived at the gate of the villa. Several foreigners got off the car. The elders of the Wang family went up to greet them. With the help of an interpreter, everyone greets each other.


    This time it was just a purely friendly visit. The guests were An Feng��s old friend Anthony, Robin from Rand Investment Bank, and Jacob, director of Western Investment Group. The three foreigners and Wang Wei all knew each other. At first, An Feng recommended them. As the cooperation deepened, they became acquainted.


    Tonight is to have a meal together and connect with each other. It will take the second day to actually discuss business. There are many members of the consortium from the United States. The most important ones are those present. An Feng is a veritable bigwig, and the other three are also considered core. It is already very face-saving to be able to visit.


    "Very nice place!" Anthony said.


    Wang Le translated for everyone, and they also responded politely. Several foreigners did not enter the house immediately, but walked around. It seemed that they were really interested in traditional architectural styles. Wang Wei introduced: "This is a traditional Chinese style building. The style is also partly borrowed from English gardens."


    The communication focused on Wang Wei and a few elders. As for Mr. Wang, who was old and unable to communicate, he didn''t care about these things. An Feng chatted with them at the dinner table as a bond, and then tasted the delicious meals made by hired gold medal chefs, and gave some gifts after the meal.


    The three foreigners also brought gifts before they came, and the two sides exchanged gifts, only An Feng Ma Daha.


    But it doesn''t matter, he can come and be a backer to the Wang family, which is already the most precious gift. Everyone didn''t care about these small details. An Feng also mentioned this matter, pleaded guilty and said that he would definitely order something special for the old man next time he came over. The result of a dinner party is naturally a feast for the guests.


    ��


    The next day we started talking about business.


    The purpose of the arrival of the investment group is to establish the Greater China branch of the Rand Investment Bank in S City, so as to communicate more effectively with Asia''s largest economy. Rand Investment Bank is a bit unfamiliar to Asia, but it is well-known on Wall Street, with a market value of more than 40 billion, but it manages nearly trillions of assets.


    It is actually a tool for the consortium to intervene in the financial world. In addition, there are large and small securities companies, investment companies, and the American Express Group engaged in traditional banking business. All of them add up. They do not produce commodities, but they are very profitable financial companies. .


    There are also other general cooperation, such as consortia providing money to play futures, intervening in trade in South Asia, etc. These are not the most important tasks of the consortium, but money is not too much, especially for the consortium. They fully invest in big projects, and choose and share ordinary projects.


    An Feng doesn''t care about what kind of business the Wang family has with them. I heard that the consortium provides funds, and they use their geographical advantages as their spokespersons. The Wang family also holds the right to operate bio-drinks and the Greater China region. It has passed the safety audit and is expected to go on sale in November.


    The team brought by An Feng, also recommended by Wang Shida, had a dialogue with senior officials.


    "This is Mr. An." Wang Shida was in charge of introducing, "This is Director Liu."


    "Hello!" An Feng shook hands with the other party. A fat man in his fifties with squinting eyes spoke in a less official tone.


    "Mr. An looks really dignified, with an extraordinary bearing." The other party was also very polite, perhaps because he knew that An Feng was still a diplomat.


    "Thank you!" An Feng said with a smile, "Director Liu, please sit down!"


    After they each sat down, An Feng chatted a lot with each other, and added insinuations. He learned from the other party''s words that he was indeed attracting attention. The earth is all connected, and a smart person can guess a thing or two.


    The Green Earth Company is not as unknown as An Feng thinks. The results of customized greening are very shocking in the eyes of the professional media, but they don''t have much contact with them in daily life, and they mostly care about high-level government officials, which has created a kind of company that is not too well-known. illusion.


    After a lot of talk, the topic came.


    "The environment in northwestern China is not optimistic, the land is desertified seriously, and the prevention and control of sandstorms has always been a hot topic. Now there are genetically engineered plants specifically for the environment, as well as supporting fertilizers. There is also a successful example in Los Angeles. The government is very interested .��


    An Feng is also very noble: "The company''s goal is to make the world a better place."


    "We admire people like Mr. An very much," said the other party.


    At present, it is just a rumor, and the two sides are not familiar with each other, unlike An Feng and Khaled.


    What is important is the dialogue between the high-level leaders of both parties, discussing and negotiating the details... It takes a lot of time, and they did not participate in the whole process. They only came forward to express their views, just like officials who specialize in conveying the spirit. to socialize.


    ��


    Two days later, when An Feng was free to go shopping, Wang Le brought Wang Keke.


    Her outfit this time is still at the forefront of the trend, but at least she didn''t deliberately put on heavy makeup, insisting on adding various weird effects to her young face... An Feng is still very puzzled why Wang Le brought Wang Keke: " Aren''t you in class at this time, why did you bring her here?"


    Before Wang Le could speak, Wang Keke said, "I''m not feeling well, so I''m asking for leave."


    An Feng frowned and looked at her lively appearance... You brat, does your family know that you are so obsessed?


    But Wang Le didn''t care and said: "It doesn''t matter, my cousin Xiong is a little bear, but her talent is still good. The goal is to study abroad, so it doesn''t matter whether she goes to school or not. You can see that a girl like her is not necessarily good at it." Governed by dogma and rules, aren''t you?"


    "Thank you!" Wang Keke gave him a high five.


    "What school do you plan to go to?" An Feng asked suspiciously, saying that the talent that can be seen in the bear child is to destroy and subvert thinking.


    Wang Keke said: "Parsons School of Design."


    An Feng has heard that this school is very famous in the field of fashion design. It is world-class and has trained many top designers, such as Tom Ford and Donna Karan. They all graduated there. Let''s take a look. It''s normal for Wang Keke, who is flirtatious and cool, and her clothes are always different.


    Designers always want to subvert something.


    "There is a future!" An Feng encouraged, "I hope to see you appear on the international stage in the future!"


    The rebellious Wang Keke smiled shyly: "The fashion design department has a very high threshold, and you may not be admitted."


    "Success comes only when there is hope." An Feng said.


    "Maybe." She shrugged.


    An Feng looked at Wang Le and asked what he meant by bringing her here. Wang Le said, "It''s none of my business. She just said that she admires you very much, and I don''t understand it!"


    "I like your driving style." Wang Keke said.


    An Feng shook his head: "It''s one thing to like it, just don''t try it."


    "If you don''t tell me, I don''t know that the Porsche in the garage hasn''t been driven for a long time." She suddenly realized.


    "Oh, did I get into trouble?" Wang Le opened his mouth.


    Wang Keke ignored Wang Le and looked at An Feng: "I''m very curious about you."


    An Feng said in order to dispel her idea of ??racing: "Adolescent girls will always have a little bit of secondary illness. After this period passes, the condition will improve."


    "Haha, maybe, but who cares if I go my own way? Listen to my cousin, you also live in the United States?" Wang Keke said.


    "That''s right." An Feng didn''t want to say more, when he pressed the car key, the BMW on the side of the road lit up.


    "He drove really well the day before yesterday!" Wang Keke couldn''t stop.


    "What''s going on?" Wang Le was puzzled.


    Wang Keke got into the car first, and then vividly described the scene of Tian''an Peak''s itchy speeding car the day before yesterday, which was quite normal, but it turned into a critical moment in her mouth, life and death, and the scene of shooting with an AK47 , Even Wang Le didn''t believe it.


    Finally, Wang Le said next to An Feng: "It''s over, she has fallen in love with you, be careful that there will be no peaceful days in the future."


    "No way?" An Feng said.


    "I don''t doubt her destructive power." Wang Le said.


    ��


    An Feng doesn''t have a deep understanding of Wang Keke''s destructive power, but he feels carefully that she is not as rebellious as she appears on the surface. She is just a girl who wants to get attention and prove her existence. Maybe the way she uses it is a bit abnormal. Only Only an artist can make this effect.


    But in the future, her creativity will amaze the world.


    An Feng stayed for a total of five days before and after, and things with the investment group went smoothly.


    The business of Green Earth Company needs to continue to be discussed, but it is also as An Feng predicted. Hesitating now, he will definitely be impatient in the future. As long as the effects of other places come out and more people favor him, this scene will come sooner or later... Farewell here Friends, ready to return.

 Chapter 382： looking for a boyfriend

    Chapter 382 Looking for a Boyfriend


    After September, the weather also turns slightly cooler, but for the weather in California, it is still warm. The flowers transplanted in the manor are in full bloom in accordance with the season. An Feng took Joanna for a walk in the garden. It is also good for pregnant women to maintain a moderate amount of exercise. Looking at the scenery can relax the mood.


    This garden is very large in scale. In addition to transplanting trees more than ten meters high, there is also a special area for flower viewing, where various brightly colored flowers are transplanted and cultivated. After careful care by the gardener, they are now blooming one by one. In the sea of ??flowers, indulge in the scenery.


    Walking around the gazebo a few times, An Feng asked, "Are you tired, do you want to sit for a while?"


    "Okay." Joanna nodded, and he led her to the gazebo and sat down carefully. Now that her belly is swollen, it is somewhat inconvenient to move.


    An Feng picked up a bottle of bio-drink: "Strawberry flavored, do you want to drink it?"


    "Don''t drink, my stomach is very full now." She rubbed her belly, "The little guy tricked me into eating a lot of snacks at noon."


    "It''s your greed." An Feng smiled. After the period when the pregnant woman''s body was abnormal, both his temper and appetite became better, and he was much more relaxed.


    "Don''t talk about eating again!" She stretched out her hand and pinched An Feng, "I''m thinking about the baby, let her eat enough, and won''t be naughty when she''s not hungry."


    "It makes sense." An Feng is nodding his head now, and whatever his wife puts forward is correct.


    Joanna tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder, and An Feng put her arms around her. "Have you thought about what to name our baby?" she said.


    "Chinese or English?"


    "You do the Chinese, and I''m in charge of the English," she said.


    "Agreed." An Feng said, "I think in Chinese, since she is a girl, I should call her An Ru. How about it?"


    Joanna looked at him: "Why does it feel like English?"


    "Convenient and easy to remember, isn''t it suitable?"


    "Fortunately, you are not allowed to take an English name." She chuckled, "English name, what do you think of Lilian?"


    "Lilian? It sounds like a kind of flower." An Feng said.


    "Or Alice?" she said, "the meaning has symbols of love, truth, and nobility."


    "Alice is fine." He nodded.


    Joanna continued: "The name has been determined, and the next step is... What language will I mainly teach her in the future?"


    An Feng has done a lot of research on this point: "Children''s language talent is very strong. My plan is to provide a good environment for her to learn two or three, Chinese and English are necessary, and then time should not be wasted. You can choose a third interest for her."


    "It makes sense, children do learn languages ??very quickly," she said.


    Chatting about the children in the gazebo, the time passed quickly, a few dogs barked nearby, and a few hounds ran over, shaking their heads around them, and soon, Xiaobai''s figure also appeared, his playground after moving He got bigger and ran up and down non-stop. Last time he jumped into the lake to swim and caught a fish. Then he was reprimanded by An Feng and obediently squatted in a corner for an hour.


    Joanna looked at Xiaobai who was playing with the dog carefully, and became sentimental: "You said that although there are friends playing with him, but the companion has never seen him, will it be lonely?"


    "Tigers are all lone rangers, right?" An Feng said, daughter-in-law, you have too much brain power.


    Joanna said: "Isn''t it good to find a playmate for it? I''m telling the truth. Although Xiao Hua can make up for it, it is always a machine that follows the program."


    An Feng nodded: "I''ll ask people to pay attention to where there are male tigers for sale. I''ll buy one and give it some remodeling, okay?"


    "You are so kind!" She kissed his cheek in satisfaction.


    "Xiaobai!" An Feng smiled and waved to Xiaobai, who gave up fighting with the hound and ran to An Feng.


    "How about finding a boyfriend for you next time?" An Feng rubbed its big head, wondering if it could understand, but it seemed very happy.


    "It understands." Joanna said with a smile.


    "Haha, deformed saber-toothed tiger!" An Feng turned up its upper lip, revealing two canine teeth.


    "Turn into a kitten again!" An Feng held its face in both hands and kneaded it into a big-faced cat, while Xiao Bai had a helpless expression, it had no love for shape-shifting games.


    "It must be protesting." Joanna shook her head.


    Speaking of finding "Xiao Hei"��although there is no shadow yet, An Feng has already named the male tiger Xiao Hei, so one black and one white correspond to each other! It''s also easy. There are a lot of tigers raised in captivity in the United States, and many tiger cubs are born every year that can be used as pets.


    An Feng called Angela: "Hi!"


    "Hi, Mr. An." Angela''s voice was still soft.


    An Feng said: "I''m looking for information on tigers for sale, especially male Bengal tigers, please help me keep an eye out."


    Angela said: "Well, I will help you find it."


    "Thank you." An Feng said, adding: "Hey, Angela, I wonder if you are a girl or a lady?"


    There was a burst of laughter from the other end of the phone: "What do you think, sir?"


    An Feng said: "I don''t know, my wife said you might be a girl in your twenties, can you tell us the answer?"


    "Well...it''s a secret." Angela said playfully.


    "OK, let''s leave it to our imagination." An Feng said with a smile.


    "Did she say it?" Joanna was also curious.


    "Nothing." An Feng shook his head.


    "Maybe she is a man with a changed voice." Joanna guessed wildly.


    "Hahaha, I can''t imagine it!" An Feng smiled.


    ��


    On the other side of the Atlantic, the biennial Frankfurt Motor Show kicks off. As the oldest and largest auto show in the world, the biggest highlight this year is electric vehicles. Last year''s Paris Motor Show was the beginning of the rise of electric vehicles, and this year''s Frankfurt is the climax.


    After intensive preparations, the world''s automakers have launched pure electric models one after another. They are not to be outdone and compete for this new market whose ownership has not yet been determined. The competition is particularly fierce. More than 30 new electric models have been launched at this auto show, including Maserati''s Flagship sports car - Esplosione.


    While on display, Maserati also announced that it will sell for $850,000 and will be limited to 299 units.


    At this year''s auto show, Ferrari''s F80 and Maserati''s Esplosione attracted the most attention in the sports car industry. Both cars have outstanding shapes. Naturally, Ferrari has no shortage of money for research and development, and Maserati is also not weak. They invited Pininifari Designed by Pininfarina, it has smooth lines, the blue color is full of futuristic feeling, and the upward-turning butterfly door is very cool.


    Unlike the F80 whose data has not yet been released, Esplosione proudly showed its official data at the auto show, with 0-100 kilometers accelerating in 2.5 seconds, 0-200 accelerating in 5.5 seconds, 0-300 in only 13 seconds, and a theoretical top speed of 405 kilometers per hour. The official test reaches a maximum of 387, and a longer runway is required.


    In terms of track performance, it runs the fastest single lap of 1 minute and 32 seconds on the Queen''s Amoeba F1 track. The fastest time for the previous GT-MC car is 1 minute and 26 seconds, which is only 6 seconds behind the professional car. , and compared with the formula, the fastest lap in the last Indycar race was 1 minute and 22 seconds, which is only 10 seconds behind.


    Therefore, the performance is strong enough. On the first day of the auto show, the company received orders, and there are still many interested inquiries. Compared with the arrogance of the F80, it does not accept orders and only sends out invitations. Maserati��s flagship is very friendly to the people and VIP customers It can be pre-booked, and other customers can also book.


    The only place that gets picked on is the Nordschleife of the N��rburgring.


    Because the car was tested in California and did not have time to go to Germany for testing, New North has no records.


    Nurburg��s lap time is of great significance. Whether it is a driver who is keen on driving or a car manufacturer, this is a sacred temple and a place where you can prove your strength. Therefore, whether it is a sports car or a sedan, after production, it is hoped that there will be a record brand of New North.


    An Feng also learned through his relationship that after the Frankfurt Motor Show, Esplosione was going to challenge the New North.


    Unknowingly, An Feng also signed up... As a car fan, besides the car, his big dream is to go to the N��rburgring to see the beautiful scenery of the South Ring and the North Ring, and then he must run on it After a few laps, you can''t leave regrets in your life.


    Before departure, there was news about the tiger that An Feng needed.


    It��s actually not hard to find. There are more and more tigers in captivity in the United States, and there are naturally more tigers that are legally sold. After knowing the source of the goods, call Matthew again.


    After hearing An Feng''s words, Matthew''s first sentence was: "You finally remember this matter."


    An Feng was embarrassed. Matthew did say it before, but he has been lazy and procrastinated until now. He changed the subject: "I heard it''s in Florida, let''s go take a look sometime?"


    "Is it okay the day after tomorrow?" Matthew said.


    "OK."


    ��


    The day after tomorrow they showed up at an animal adoption center in Florida.


    There are a few two-month-old tiger cubs for sale here. There are too many tiger cubs to take care of if they are sent to the zoo, so they simply conduct charity sales, and the proceeds are also used for animals. An Feng and Matthew carefully selected some. An Feng kept in mind Joanna''s advice to find a boyfriend for Xiaobai.


    Matthew doesn''t mind gender, what he wants most is to be as obedient as Xiao Bai.


    In the end, An Feng successfully picked the future "Xiao Hei", and after Matthew thought about it, he chose a very cute female tiger. Women, wives or daughters, specially choose those who can be cute.


    Buy a tiger, go through the adoption procedures, and then return.


    On the plane, An Feng chatted with him about the biological transformation of tigers and other precautions.


    After talking about this, they talked about Matthew''s moving.


    Matthew is recently leaving his job in the east and concentrating on the west, so he looked for real estate in the west. Although Los Angeles is convenient for office, it is not the first choice for the super rich who pursue enjoyment. Although the San Francisco Bay area is comfortable, it is too big. Far.


    Finally, I decided to stay in Santa Barbara, where rich people gather. The scenery is good enough, and it��s quiet. It��s about a hundred kilometers away from Los Angeles. It��s perfect. I can also be neighbors with Anfeng, so it��s convenient to have any gatherings in the future.


    The two returned to Los Angeles while chatting. An Feng took care of the two tigers temporarily. After testing them and analyzing them with a supercomputer, he used the best plan and divided them into five stages for transformation, which lasted for about three months.

 Chapter 383： circle of truth

    Chapter 383 The Ring of Truth


    An Feng took some time to match the two tiger transformation potions. After repeated testing several times, he performed the first phase of injection. Since there had been successful cases before, this time he was familiar with the process. He went to observe four hours after the injection, and nothing happened. Anything unusual, progressing well.


    After the inspection, An Feng grabbed a cat with one hand and got off the plane with his arms crossed.


    A two-month-old tiger is no different from a kitten. Animals are cute when they are young, even ferocious beasts are no exception. Two kittens are playing in its arms, climbing up and down its feet, and the helicopter landed on the On the lawn of the manor, An Feng jumped off the plane and put the two guys on the ground.


    After they landed, they started making noises, and Xiaobai also ran over when he heard the movement. With the previous reminder, he was still friendly to these two little ones, at least he would not sneak a bite. The two guys were also bold, they stopped fighting as soon as Xiaobai appeared, and shifted their targets to him.


    "It''s so cute!" Joanna walked slowly with her belly out, followed by a maid.


    "Yes, small animals are always cute." An Feng squatted down to tease the two guys, and they opened their mouths to bite An Feng''s fingers.


    "I really want to hug you." Joanna''s voice softened.


    "Let''s talk about it later, you are pregnant now." An Feng hesitated. He didn''t know whether pregnant women should touch tigers... This seems to be a rare precedent.


    "They will grow up in the future, how can they be hugged." Joanna said so, but she didn''t want to hug the two cubs willfully.


    An Feng teased the tiger, and walked around with her. When he was tired, he sat on a bench by the lake and basked in the sun. The two little ones also came and played nearby. Xiaobai lay down on the ground, stretched out his front paws, stared at the two little things with big eyes, and the nearby hunting dogs also came to play.


    Take a look at these funny animals together, and the time will pass slowly.


    To the beginning of October, approaching the day of departure.


    During this time, when Kelly came to accompany Joanna, An Feng had three or four days of vacation, and some Maserati employees took off on a private jet.


    The destination is Frankfurt, Germany, but the place is only a transit station. After getting off the bus, I didn��t stop there. I took the shuttle bus to the N��rburgring, more than 100 kilometers north of Frankfurt. Germany in October is not an ideal tourist season, and the weather has turned cold, so I can only see the city in the car.


    After leaving the city, enter the high speed, and then turn on the high speed mode.


    An Feng was riding in a Mercedes-Benz E-class car. The driver was an old driver with a little white hair. He drove very steadily in the urban area, and gave priority to avoiding pedestrians. The speed of the car became soaring, with an average of about 160 in the whole journey.


    When it was fast, An Feng saw that the dashboard had already reached a speed of 180, but he was stunned to let a small truck overtake it. I will not talk about other luxury cars, sports cars, etc., but the small truck also abused them, and followed Another big truck abused them one after another, and the world went crazy.


    Calculated, the driver is relatively stable, and the fastest overtaking is 210.


    There is no speed limit on most sections of the German highway, but its accident rate is much lower than that of other countries'' highways. You have to accept that this is not only a law, but also a manifestation of quality. Most cars on the road are like this. Overtaking uses the overtaking lane. After passing, they change lanes and do not occupy them for a long time.


    So it took about 40 minutes to drive more than 100 kilometers.


    Nurburgring is not surrounded by big cities, but it is a holy place for racing, a place that fans all over the world yearn for. After arriving at the local area, I stayed in the hotel next to the track. The hotel room can overlook the motorcycle race held in the South Ring Road. I heard that it is a practice race, and the sound of the engine keeps roaring.


    The south ring of the N��rburgring is the F1 track, which is four to five kilometers long, while the north ring known as the "Ring of Truth" is more than 20 kilometers long and is called the "Green Hell". The track is zoomed in. Therefore, the lap times here have always been recognized as a high-performance car.


    An Feng had already rested on the plane. After arriving at the hotel and putting down his things, he didn''t rest. Like other car fans who yearn for the Holy Land, he couldn''t wait to see the true face of New North. He set off with several members of the car factory, and the standard equipment was Maserati''s GT sports car, gasoline version.


    The gate of the Nordschleife is very low-key, but the surrounding area is full of racing atmosphere. Before entering the racetrack, you need to buy a ticket and check the vehicle. The fare is also cheap, 27 Euros for one lap, 100 Euros for 4 laps, 1600 for the year without a car It doesn''t matter, there are a lot of car rental companies nearby, and Porsche can be rented.


    Before going on the track, An Feng was the co-pilot.


    The coach responsible for the driving explanation claims to do 300 laps in half a year. He is a professional driver. Now he is a tour guide and a racing coach. He has to run an average of 600 laps on the North Ring Road a year. He has rich experience and can be said to be able to run with his eyes closed. The whole process is awesome, and the explanations are also in place.


    To be honest, for first-time tourists, the track with a length of more than 20 kilometers usually remembers the back and forgets the front. After running a lap, they basically don��t remember anything. But when the coach specifically asked An Feng how he felt, he actually said all the key points just now.


    Those who didn''t know An Feng''s background were shocked.


    Remember again, is this still a human? Those who were familiar with An Feng were also a little surprised, but considering his status as a first-class driver, it was not too surprising. After getting acquainted with him for a while, An Feng switched to the passenger seat and ran five laps in a row. There are other vehicles on the track, and the performance of the models varies widely.


    After An Feng ran for a few laps, he felt that he was really cruel. The sports car meandered forward on the plateau. The track was undulating with the mountains. The vertical drop of the road surface was as high as 300 meters, and there were as many as 177 corners. , running at high speed non-stop, and the road conditions are also complex and changeable.


    A few years ago, there was a popular saying, what is a supercar? Accelerate from 100 kilometers in 5 seconds? Speed ??up to three hundred?


    No, New North ran within eight minutes!


    Well-known supercars such as Ferrari ENZO, Lamborghini LP700, and Pagani Zonda-F all have a time of about 7 minutes and 24 seconds. With the improvement of car performance in recent years, the standard for eight-point heroes has increased, but they can run seven minutes and 24 seconds. Less than half a point is still the top.


    While resting in the starting area, An Feng asked the engineer: "What is the ideal fastest time for Esplosione?"


    The engineer said simply: "Within 6 minutes and 50 seconds."


    An Feng is not surprised, because it is really strong: "What is the fastest running so far?"


    The engineer said: "6 minutes and 49 seconds, has not yet been officially certified. After the racer''s condition is adjusted, it should be improved by a second or two."


    "Very good!" An Feng said, if it can be improved by two seconds, it will break the fastest record of mass-produced cars and secure the first place.


    As for non-mass-produced cars, this is not considered. What is the difference between a racing car and a road car?


    ��


    The next day An Feng also drove one of the Esplosiones, and followed the open practice in the morning.


    Currently, there are two supercars, and originally planned to use only one for testing, but because An Feng''s No. 2 car followed closely behind, and he was interested in testing, the manufacturer seized the time to build two. Anfeng is currently the fastest car owner to get Esplosione besides the official one.


    Because of the emergence of the top-level electric supercar, it has attracted the attention of many people. The New North is still open in the morning, and Maserati will reserve the venue in the afternoon for the racing drivers to practice. They will continue to practice tomorrow morning and officially set the record in the afternoon. One place won.


    Esplosione is not only the crystallization of Maserati��s research and development, but also the embodiment of the technology of Angle Industries and GP. During the research and development of models, high-tech materials and supercomputers are used. It requires almost every detail accurately and strives for perfection. New North is the name holy place.


    Many people came to watch the practice in the morning. The field was reserved in the afternoon, and other cars could not get on it. The racer and An Feng��s car ran on it. An Feng planned to spend the whole day here, and he himself did not speak German. , There is no girl to accompany me on the street, so going out is no fun.


    After the practice in the afternoon, Maserati''s focus is on adjustments.


    Because...you have to admire the ability of some people to cheat. The queen racing driver has run the North Ring no less than a thousand times, and he has memorized all the details. The fastest lap can run to 6 minutes and 47 seconds, but he only ran more than 30 laps The An Feng, just got a score of 6 minutes and 46 seconds, which really scared everyone!


    Then Maserati considered what the boss had thought a long time ago: he ran a lap himself.


    Continue to practice the next morning. At noon, after discussing with An Feng, the high-level officials allowed the addition of racers. Anyway, it is not bad to record one. An Feng is also willing to participate. It would be nice to run a lap and leave a record. One thing, although everyone generally only remembers the model.


    In the afternoon, he put on a full racing suit and went into battle.


    The starting direction of New North is clockwise. First of all, there are a series of cruel curves. The track is surrounded by green, and it is always in a state of ups and downs, swinging from side to side. The whole process cannot be effectively monitored, and it can only be called after the game. With the car recorder, An Feng was absorbed in racing on the track.


    Maserati employees and other onlookers at the terminal are also looking forward to it.


    Six minutes have passed, whether a new record is born or not depends on the next forty seconds.


    An Feng ran through most of the corners smoothly. After passing through a few particularly uncomfortable high-speed corners, he was greeted by a nearly three-kilometer straight road. When he exited the corner, he used KERS. Just step on the switch at the next time and stay in a daze for a while.


    An Feng didn''t dare to be in a daze. He stared at the speed of the sports car. It was already 340, and it reached 345 in the blink of an eye. If he worked harder, he broke through the 350 mark. The scene in front of him was already blurry. Slow down, but there is still a distance.


    Didn''t stop after breaking through 350, when 352...354 reached 355, waved the flag and crossed the line! He immediately released the switch, the speed of the car slowed down, and at the same time cheers came from the radio, and a shocking number rang the bell of a new record: 6 minutes and 45 seconds!


    An Feng set a new record with an absolute advantage!


    Afterwards, there was no need for another driver to go up and run. His best state was only 6 minutes and 47 seconds. God knows how An Feng ran, but it doesn''t matter. Esplosione has set a lap record for production cars and won the Authoritative certification for the highest speed on the Nurburg Straight.

 Chapter 384： the birth

    Chapter 384 Birth


    After the official confirmation of the record, Esplosione officially became the overlord of mass-produced cars in New North. Although the Nurburgring results do not represent everything, they are a shortcut to increasing popularity and verifying the performance of sports cars, which is equivalent to a cheap and powerful advertising campaign.


    The result was no surprise. The video was uploaded to the Internet. The first-person view led everyone to experience the new record of 6 minutes and 45 seconds. Everyone has to admit that this car is fast and has excellent handling. Or the slander of linear machines and so on, disappeared.


    Esplosione''s popularity has exploded, and it is also changing Maserati''s relatively gentle impression in the past. They are used to build supercars, and they can also be violent. Its excellence has ignited the upsurge of electric supercars, and even other competing models want to achieve excellent results on the track.


    This achievement, coupled with the excellent performance of electric supercars in the past, has not only brought about a one-sided increase in Maserati''s sales, but also more hidden areas, such as the turnover of GP Energy, and the enthusiasm of other manufacturers for electric vehicles. A series of things continued to heat up.


    GP''s acquisition of Maserati has achieved their purpose.


    Later, considering the nature of the industry, GP, as a high-tech company, has little to do with automobiles, so the headquarters considered to develop Maserati into an automobile group, and then select suitable brands to acquire to form a high-end, mid-end and low-end coexistence. collocation mode.


    An Feng also agrees with this idea. To be honest, GP��s publicity is already in place, and there is no need to drag Maserati, so as to save the brand introduction in the future, saying that this is Maserati under GP, which will make people feel that GP is an automobile group. non-high-tech companies.


    After Maserati becomes a group controlled by GP and operated independently, it will be able to spend funds to acquire other car brands, and take advantage of its extensive network to set foot in the new field of electric vehicles with the help of GP and Anshi Industries. It''s not too late.


    ��


    From October to the New Year, An Feng was thinking about these things.


    Things are also going well. 65% of Maserati��s shares are already in the hands of GP. It is only a matter of time before a new car group is established. The brand is also considering the acquisition of some American car brands, or it may set its sights on Europe. They want to Do mid-range electric cars.


    An Feng made some suggestions, but they are non-professional, and the specific needs to be considered by the higher-ups.


    The rest of the time, he lived leisurely. Matthew has moved to Santa Barbara and has become Anfeng''s new neighbor. The distance between the two is very close, and it can be done within a ten-minute walk. Anfeng has also visited it. It''s not bad. The backyard is next to the sea and there is a small private beach. The days are very comfortable.


    Matthew''s wife, Christina, always comes to Anfeng as a guest, bringing her one-year-old child and chatting with Joanna, who is pregnant, mostly about taking care of the child. Matthew''s youngest son, named William, is fat and smooth in walking and talking.


    Matthew is not as laid-back as An Feng. He doesn''t care about anything. He usually has work and is not at home. Christina will often come to An Feng when he is bored. , Go back after having fun.


    Days passed by, winter went to spring, An Feng and Joanna learned a lot of professional knowledge, including how to take care of the baby, how to change diapers, how to calm the baby''s emotions, etc. When the due date was approaching, Joanna was sent to Los Angeles private hospital.


    An Feng found her a hospital with the best service, which belongs to the kind of place where you don''t even know it''s a hospital when you walk in it. It is very quiet, and the layout is like a hotel. You can rarely see anything related to the hospital. The ward is also very luxurious, with two bedrooms and a living room, just like a high-end apartment.


    For the past few days, An Feng stayed in the guest room, and their family members also showed up frequently. The nurses made many inspections every day, and asked the pregnant women how they felt in detail... Finally, one day in early February, Joanna was sent to the delivery room. All gathered outside in the hallway. An Feng looked complicated, checking the time from time to time. To say that at this moment, every father-to-be is extremely nervous.


    Kelly watched An Feng swaying in front of him a few times, and comforted him: "Don''t worry, things will go well."


    "I know." An Feng said absently, and looked back at the door of the delivery room. He planned to go in to accompany him, but was persuaded by the nurse and Joanna...Because not everyone can adapt to watching a woman give birth, In order to prevent psychological shadow, the hospital does not recommend the husband to enter the delivery room.


    He regretted a little now that he didn''t accompany her at such an important moment... He sighed, put his hands in his pockets, and prayed in his heart. I don''t know how long it has passed, every second seems to be as long as thousands of years. Finally, the door of the delivery room opened, and the nurse came out with good news.


    An Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, things went well, and the baby didn''t make things difficult for his mother. Soon, Joanna was pushed out of the delivery room by the nurse, and An Feng stepped forward to hold her hand. She looked a little exhausted, but smiled: "I saw it, our child, so beautiful!"


    "Well! Congratulations!" An Feng nodded with a smile. The child is being sent to be cleaned, and he hasn''t been able to see it yet, but seeing that the mother and child are safe and sound, a big stone in his heart has finally dropped. Not long after they returned to the ward, the nurse sent the child in a special cart.


    Mom, dad, Joanna''s parents, and An Feng all surrounded him. The little guy who was held in the nurse''s arms seemed to be squinting, his face was wrinkled, and he felt a little red and swollen. The newborn baby was really swollen. Small, a cat is much bigger than her, the nurse put the baby into the arms of Joanna who was lying on the bed, and said with a smile: "The baby weighs 8.8 pounds and is very healthy, congratulations!"


    The parents of the couple gathered around and talked about the appearance of the baby. The mother said: "This child''s hair is a bit yellow, but his eyes are black."


    Kelly said with a smile: "The hair color of mixed-race babies is also yellowish in the early stage, but it should gradually turn black later. The eyes are pretty."


    Everyone was discussing in a hurry. An Feng didn''t say much. He sat on the edge of the bed and held Joanna''s hand. He looked at the child and his wife, feeling very excited and satisfied. Joanna smiled when she saw him: "You are usually very talkative, why are you quiet now?"


    "I can''t think of anything other than being happy." An Feng said honestly.


    After showing them for a while, the nurse took the baby away again. Everyone sat down around, and the two grandma began to remind some precautions. Originally, An Feng thought that his mother was quite verbose, but according to the current situation, Kelly was no worse than her mother, so he could only nod.


    Joanna was a little sleepy later, so everyone left to let her have a good rest. An Feng''s parents-in-law have to go back, and someone has to take care of the bear child at home. An Feng''s parents have to go back and bring some delicious food to their daughter-in-law. The reason is that Joanna accidentally said that the things in the hospital are not good a few days ago. Eat, the two elders have been thinking about it until now, this level of love makes An Feng, who has not yet settled for lunch, feel that he is giving it away for phone bills.


    The baby was born at the right time, just in the morning, so An Feng can go to the baby room after eating at noon. This hospital is not small, but because it provides high-end services, there are not many inpatients, and the baby room is only four. Five babies, he had no trouble finding his own.


    Observing through the glass, the little guy was very lazy when he was born, his eyes didn''t even open, and he just moved his hands and feet from time to time. He looked at it with a smile. Every movement of the little guy gave him a sense of accomplishment. After a while, he returned to the inmate to accompany his wife who was eating.


    There are a lot of tonics specially prepared for postpartum, all prepared by the chef at home, and transported by air. The servants carry special incubators. The hospital is almost becoming a food exhibition hall... But Joanna''s appetite is not very good, so she only eats Take a few sips, then continue to rest.


    ��


    After staying in the hospital for three days, the doctor said that he could be discharged.


    As for the traditional Chinese confinement, there is no concept in foreign countries. There are often pregnant women who can walk around with their children four or five days after giving birth, and there are not many taboos about eating and drinking. An Feng explained to her the confinement period in China. When she heard that she would not get wet, wash her hair, or brush her teeth for a month, she was inconceivable.


    "I can''t imagine that kind of life." She said.


    "Maybe Westerners have stronger physiques." An Feng put on a coat for her, "I heard that some people can go to work a week after giving birth."


    "Princess Kate was released from the hospital after giving birth. If it wasn''t for your request, I wouldn''t have stayed until now." Joanna fixed her hair in the mirror, and her complexion returned to normal the next day, and she was able to get out of bed and walk. Talked to the doctor about postpartum recovery and got a lot of advice.


    "How is it?" She turned to face An Feng.


    An Feng took two steps back, looked at it, and nodded: "I''ll help you carry the handbag, you take the children, let''s go as a family!"


    She holds the baby and takes the elevator downstairs.


    There was already a car waiting outside the hospital. The driver opened the door. Joanna sat in the back seat of the Phantom. The seat next to her was installed with a special baby seat. After An Feng helped fasten the seat belt, her father came to check , looking cautious, An Feng scratched his head and returned to the passenger seat.


    After returning home, Joanna took the baby to visit her room.


    According to Western thinking, a child needs to be independent from an early age, so she has her own room. To be on the safe side, there will be a nurse who takes care of the baby full-time. But on the issue of feeding, Joanna insisted on using breast milk, and it was her own, which was close to the child and healthier.


    The role of a nurse is mostly to take care of the children. Taking care of the children is not an easy job, especially for those who like to cry at night. It is normal to wake up five or six times a night. Don��t try to sleep well at night. If you are an ordinary office worker, no one Dedicated childcare is a never-ending ordeal.


    Raising a little life is not easy, but parents who can persevere are great. Of course, it must be easy for An Feng to be so rich. The family has hired a full-time nurse with a high salary, and can be divided into two shifts during the day and night, but only one will be hired later, because during the day she will be surrounded by parents, grandparents, grandparents, and even nurses. Neighbors and friends take turns hugging, and the child and mother don''t have enough time to spend alone.

 Chapter 385： Make something bigger [Third watch]

    Chapter 385 Make something bigger


    The next period of time will focus on recovering the body and taking care of the children. Both An Feng and Joanna are inexperienced novices. They are often in a hurry when encountering things. An Feng will make mistakes when changing the diapers for the children... Fortunately, at home There are two Grandma and professional nanny.


    The two young parents can only learn a little bit, how to deal with the child crying, what to do if the crotch is wet, or how to deal with the more serious problem of pulling the crotch... A lot of troubles require skills. If they take care of themselves, both An Feng and Joanna will feel a lot of pressure. Fortunately, there are people who can share the pressure.


    Taking care of the baby is very difficult, but feeding the baby is easier. An Feng''s daughter is very talented, and she can master the tricks of breastfeeding after a day or two after birth. There will be a surplus to deal with the food and drink problems of the little ones.


    This is probably the proudest thing Joanna has done since becoming a mother. She can handle the children''s food and drink, which is the most fundamental and most important point. When An Feng''s fuss didn''t work out, she would talk about it and maintain the current one-to-zero lead.


    "One to zero." After feeding the children in the afternoon, she did not forget to show off.


    "I know." An Feng frowned, "After I master other specialties, I will recover the score."


    "Such as changing Alice''s diaper? Like coaxing her to keep her from crying?" Joanna said with a smile, these happened to be An Feng''s sore spots.


    "Hehe." An Feng could only laugh dryly, "Go to the gym?"


    "Of course, accompany me?" Joanna said, the child is now taken care of by her grandma, and they are very free.


    "Don''t be in a hurry, you have a lot of time to recuperate." An Feng walked out with her, and after half a month of rest, she couldn''t sit still anymore.


    ��I followed the plan exactly,�� she said.


    Joanna put a lot of thought into postpartum recovery.


    First of all, her personal nutritionist and doctor advised her to ensure energy intake and provide sufficient breast milk to the child, and secondly, to ensure her health, and breastfeeding is also helpful for her postpartum recovery; then the cook at home will Pay special attention to avoiding greasy and foods with too many calories; and her personal fitness trainer has to study a fitness program that meets the above requirements.


    Finally, they held several meetings before reaching a balance point that everyone was satisfied with.


    Joanna''s postpartum weight has increased by more than 20 pounds. Compared with the original body that was maintained at about 125 pounds, there is a bit of excess flesh. However, due to her height, it is appropriate to wear some thin clothes, but she During the half month of rest, I was always cranky.


    She was recommended to drink high-concentration bio-drinks, plus HG''s mild weight-loss drugs. An Feng also tested it personally. The former is of great help to the body, and the latter will not affect other things. Use it together, and exercise moderately for a month She can get back to what she wants.


    But in order to prevent her from rushing for quick success, An Feng is supervising.


    She jogged along the path leading from the garden to the artificial lake, and An Feng followed beside her, talking non-stop: "To be honest, it''s good to have meat."


    "No." She was firm.


    "I mean without affecting the vision." An Feng ran upside down, "If you remove a little bit now, I think it is very suitable. For the sake of the child and your husband, there is no need to force yourself too much. I admit that it will be very painful. Spicy and looks beautiful, but the actual feeling is different.��


    "You haven''t touched it before, how do you know?" She still didn''t believe it.


    An Feng''s purpose is to convince her: "I swear what I said is true. When I hugged you to sleep last night, I felt very good."


    "Then you still push me away in disgust?" She frowned.


    "I just pushed it away gently. I felt hot at the time, and I didn''t mean to dislike it at all." An Feng explained, why did things get worse?


    "No, I don''t believe you!" She shook her head resolutely.


    "OK!" An Feng stopped and walked towards her, bent over with one hand on his legs and one on his back, hugged her in his arms, and then sat down on a piece of green grass, letting her sit on his lap, "If we continue talking, it will turn into a quarrel Yes, I just want to say that you think too much, beyond what I want to express, understand?"


    "I don''t understand." She shook her head.


    "I know what you''re worried about, but haven''t we been doing well this year?" An Feng looked at her, "Believe me, honey, you will always be **** in my eyes."


    "Nonsense," she said.


    An Feng didn''t speak, but proved it with actions - he bowed his head and kissed her lips, held her tightly with his arms, from lips to neck, and continued to explore, she suddenly pressed his head and said shyly: "No! You Grab food with Alice, she''ll cry if there''s no dinner tonight."


    "Haha!" An Feng raised his head and laughed, "Well, a father shouldn''t care about his children."


    "I lied to you, it just feels a little swollen and will be pressed out." She pulled her clothes.


    "I know." An Feng nodded, "You know how I feel, right? I hope you can make yourself happy during the recovery process."


    "Yes." She put her arms around An Feng''s neck, "You are doing well in every way, and I just hope to give you a great reward."


    "It is now." An Feng said.


    "Sweet mouth." She laughed.


    An Feng hugged her and looked at the lake and the blue sky above his head together. After a while, Joanna''s intercom rang, and she put the earbuds in her ears to answer the call. This is specially installed by Anfeng. The communicator can be worn on the wrist like a watch, and communicate with a single earbud.


    It is similar to the smart watches on the market, except that this one only covers the manor, and can control many things. All electrical appliances, including mechanical pets, surrounding street lights, and surveillance cameras, can be controlled through permissions, and it is also waterproof and drop-proof. It''s easy to carry, and it''s just a prototype.


    The future equipment An Feng envisions has the characteristics of portability. It doesn��t have to be a watch, it can be a ring, a necklace or something else, and it has rich functions. The image can be holographic projection, which can be large or small... Now it��s just a rough, Not even semi-finished products.


    Joanna said a few words, hung up and said to An Feng: "There are guests at home, and Matthew and Christina are here with their little baby."


    "Then let''s go back." An Feng said.


    Go home and meet Matthew and Christina in the living room, along with their toddler, toddler, William. When Joanna was pregnant, Christina often came here. Few people in the family would be bored. Here is an environment for them to chat.


    Matthew also came with him, most likely because he was idle and panicked. Although his friends in the business field are all over the world, they can really talk, and few of them just do boring things after getting along for a day. An Feng is an exception. Although Matthew is almost fifty, he gets along well with An Feng.


    "Hey, little one! Look who''s coming!" Matthew came over to greet the child and tease her.


    Alice opened her eyes a little bit, and shook her little hand, as if to say hello.


    "Such a high salary?" An Feng said from the side.


    "Because she saw the godfather who means a lot to her." Matthew smiled and waved to her, "How are you doing recently? I heard from Chris that you are very busy."


    "It''s not easy to take care of children." An Feng said.


    "I''ll get used to it." Matthew said, "Are you free, let''s go for a ride?"


    "Let''s go." An Feng nodded. Riding a horse for leisure may be a little bit, but it may also be a business matter. Ladies don''t like men discussing work frequently in front of them, but they can hug their children and gossip all day. And reasoning with them would be the stupidest way.


    Go out and turn right, go along the stone paved path, the stables are nearby.


    On the road, Matthew said: "The investment you joined last time has ended, so go check your account when you have time."


    "My assistant has already told me." An Feng said. Last time, he invested 3.5 billion US dollars, and he didn''t know what it was for. It brought him 700 million US dollars of income in less than a year, and the return on investment was 20%, which was much higher than the general investment income, and it was short-term.


    "Are you still planning to continue?" An Feng asked, recently he had a lot of funds.


    Matthew nodded: "The consortium is ending some investment activities, preparing funds and waiting for new opportunities."


    "Play big?" An Feng asked.


    "Yes, thanks to you, we have sufficient funds in our account for the past few years." Matthew said that the risk of doing business is indeed much lower than that of finance, especially in the case of monopoly power, more than half of the consortium The economy is all derived from the industrial field, and its foundation is very solid.


    If it is a consortium that focuses on the financial field, it will be impacted and influenced by many factors. Even if you have money, you dare not say that you have full confidence. But they are different, the commodity economy dominates, this is difficult to shake, and it is also the reason why they are superior to other opponents.


    "If it''s exciting enough, I''ll look forward to it." An Feng said, although he doesn''t know much about finance, but according to the analysis of his private team, the consortium''s investment is still stable, and there are no major losses in projects, but in recent years Seriously teased many opponents.


    Matthew paused: "If it''s targeting the stock market, or a certain economy, or even a certain country, do you have the guts?"


    "No." An Feng shook his head decisively, "Because I am a layman in finance, but I can choose to believe and invest, can''t I?"


    "Haha!" Matthew laughed and continued to walk forward, "That''s true."


    "So..." An Feng followed him, "Is this time trying to bring down a certain group?"


    Matthew shook his head: "It''s not that simple. This will be a long-term dormancy, and even turmoil and losses will occur during this period. It is necessary to ensure sufficient funds to supplement. The current economic growth of the consortium is very fast. Some people think that they can bet on its stable growth. to play the game in the future.��


    An Feng said: "I have great confidence in the industrial sector, and it will maintain growth for at least three to five years."


    "Even if it can be guaranteed, the plan requires everyone''s self-confidence. If something goes wrong on the way, if you don''t dare to add or withdraw funds, you will face a complete collapse." Matthew looked at An Feng, " So we intend to communicate with each member."


    "What is the most serious consequence?" An Feng asked curiously.


    Matthew said: "Our hundreds of billions of funds have been lost, and the collective has been hit hard. In turn, there will be huge returns, and the assets will double."


    "Do you have a goal?"


    Matthew shook his head: "No, it''s just an assumption��based on the forecast that the funds of the consortium will grow rapidly every year. If the opposite is true, this plan will disappear if it is not produced. If it is correct, it may be our competitors in various fields, or it can be It''s another economy."


    "I have a lot of spare funds myself." An Feng said.


    Matthew stopped: "So several companies under your command have bought a large amount of gold, not because they want to buy more gold as rumored by the outside world, but purely for capital reserves?"


    "Has it affected?" An Feng asked.


    Matthew said: "Didn''t you notice? After you invest more than a billion, someone in the market deliberately sends out a signal of rising. If someone invests another billion to play this big gamble, the benefits will be very considerable. But It''s time for me to pity those who blindly enter the trap."


    An Feng laughed. He did this scene purely because he had money and no place to spend it. How could there be so many purposes?


    Matthew also smiled: "I believe you are really rich in funds now. If you have the opportunity, we welcome you to join the game."

 Chapter 386： money burn equation

    Chapter 386 Money Burning Equation


    There is no big problem with the partnership. Even if An Feng doesn''t ask, they will take the initiative to ask. As the boss with the most abundant funds, he will definitely not be ignored, and his support by example is also a way to give other members confidence. After joining, his investment has been very accurate.


    Turn over and get on the horse, put aside the business for a while, and run a few laps on this more than 100-acre grass in a relaxed manner, without any tricks, just enjoying the high speed and breathing the air. Anfeng has a good location, lots of green plants, and the air is naturally very fresh.


    After a lap, Matthew patted the neck of the racehorse below him: "This horse is really obedient. It''s only the third time I''ve ridden it, so I''m already familiar with it."


    "New technology." An Feng said, including the horses under him, and several other expensive racehorses have undergone some biotechnological improvements.


    "No wonder!" Matthew gave an order. The horse he was riding raised its front legs and stepped forward, and its ability to understand and obey was particularly strong.


    Matthew controlled the horse to take a dance step, and said in surprise: "It''s really the same as Diego!"


    Diego is the Bengal tiger he and An Feng bought together. The name was originally different, but he changed it to his daughter Catherine later, because she had just finished watching "Ice Age 6". There is no doubt that the name came from the saber-toothed tiger. Now four or five months have passed, and both tigers have completed their transformation.


    "Next time I can ride it to participate in dressage, I won by cheating." An Feng said with a smile, smart racehorses are good at dressage.


    "Interesting." Matthew nodded, "When you hold a three-day competition this year, I will sign up for it."


    "It''s held every two years, it won''t be held this year, it will be held next year." An Feng reminded, "My wife will also participate, be careful that you are at the bottom."


    "I''m not that bad." Matthew said, maybe he wanted to see his own skills, and urged the horse under him to move forward at a fast pace, halfway into a walk, and then took a sideways step. I like it, and I have the idea of ??pocketing it, but it''s a pity that An Feng doesn''t sell it.


    "Please, you don''t lack this horse!" Matthew really likes this guy.


    An Feng said: "I have no shortage, but at least I have to wait for it to participate in the competition before considering the issue of selling it."


    "Profit business." Matthew shook his head, "But I will borrow it for next year''s competition, so don''t use other excuses, I don''t believe you!"


    ��


    After riding the horse for two hours, I still couldn��t get enough of it, but Matthew��s child wanted to play with his father, so he had to make sacrifices... An Feng was the same, the child had just cried, maybe he missed his father, although the memory of a month was all Relying on instinct, the probability of identifying the mother is higher...


    Then there were two men with their children, one in their arms and the other on their necks, standing at the door and chatting. In order to prevent the children from crying, they shook and shook, and the children laughed and laughed. Matthew said ostentatiously, "Did you see it? This is the trick of those who have experienced it."


    "Awesome!" An Feng looked down, and she really stopped making trouble.


    The two ladies were drinking tea in the living room. Joanna shook her head when she saw this scene: "It''s really worrying for a man to take care of the child."


    "So we have to keep them in sight to ensure the accuracy of order transmission." Christina said jokingly.


    "Agreed." Joanna nodded with a smile.


    ��


    A few days later, it was the beginning of March. An Feng drove the Esplosione out to the target racing track.


    His Esplosione is the one that made the record. It has a dark blue body and a carbon black roof. The body is low and the front face is very aggressive. Needless to say, the rate of turning heads on the road is still the only one in the world.


    He used his spare afternoon to drive to the racing track.


    One thing was unexpected. One and a half years ago, he promised a small team in China that as long as the driver could get a place in the regional competition, he would provide sponsorship. The Racing Foundation was established within half a year. One year later, the team with the help of the foundation won the ranking again.


    The young driver named Zhou Hang won the third place in the national competition, and won the third place. Although his level was not in line with the world''s first-class, the time An Feng gave him was three years. He showed his outstanding talent in the first year.


    You must know that Zhou Hang is only 21 years old now. If such a talent can be cultivated, he is very likely to become a top driver. After his amazing performance, many teams extended an olive branch, invited him to join with a high salary, and promised to participate in higher-level events, but he finally chose to go abroad.


    The GP team was in communication with Zhou Hang in January this year, and the contract was signed in February. At the end of the month, accompanied by his parents and some friends, he traveled across the ocean to the United States to prepare for a new journey. Today is his first appearance at the racetrack. An Feng, as the team owner, was there to give some support.


    An hour later, An Feng''s super cool sports car arrived at the racing track.


    Due to the large area of ??the Amoeba Circuit, the headquarters of the GP team is set up on the vacant lot next to it, a few steps away from the circuit. An Feng drove to the team''s living area, where the garage, maintenance area and refitting area were integrated, full of racing atmosphere.


    At present, there is no one in the living area, and everyone is in the pit area of ??the racing track.


    An Feng drove over and was watched all the way to the maintenance lane. The blue and black future sports car stopped silently beside them. The door was turned up. An Feng, who was wearing a shirt and jeans and sunglasses on his nose, got out of the car, cool He pulled the door and it closed automatically.


    "The young man is much stronger!" An Feng said, taking off his sunglasses.


    Compared to more than a year ago, Zhou Hang has indeed grown taller, and he is also more cheerful: "I heard that racing here is not easy, and it can''t be done without a good body."


    "Racing is physical work, it must be like this." An Feng nodded, and then looked at Shang Xiong and other members of the previous team. They came here for a visit.


    After chatting with each other for a few words, Cooper, who was testing the car, drove the new car into the pit.


    Cooper got out of the car, said a few words to the engineer, then greeted An Feng, and then extended his hand to Zhou Hang: "You must be a new colleague?"


    "Yes, Mr. Cooper." Zhou Hang said, his English was fairly accurate.


    Cooper shook hands with him and smiled: "I heard them say that you are very talented, and I hope you can achieve good results here!"


    Zhou Hang nodded. Even if he has improved his English, it will take some time to adapt to the foreign environment. Moreover, Cooper is Italian and English is not his mother tongue, so he still has an accent. After Cooper said hello, he said goodbye and went to find some drinks first, while the other visitors were chattering.


    "Why don''t you say a few words when you meet an idol?" Shang Xiong said regretfully to Zhou Hang.


    Zhou Hang scratched his head: "I forgot the words for a while."


    "Don''t worry, you will spend a lot of time together in the future, and you will compete together. You don''t have to throw up when you see each other." An Feng smiled and leaned on the sports car.


    "Envy." Shang Xiong said, he had no chance to stay here, this time the foundation sponsored them to visit.


    John Cooper is indeed an idol-level figure with many fans. He won the annual championship in the FIA-EGT event last year, and he has a glorious record of six championships. The personal bonus alone has 5 million, plus salary And game dividends, he earned $12 million last year.


    His income is no less than that of top F1 drivers, which shows the charm of electric touring car racing, but it is a pity that the FIA ??rules make its horsepower lower, and the car lacks some highlights. This year, Maserati is negotiating with the FIA ??to increase the horsepower to 700 and add more high-tech.


    The racing car is also prepared for Zhou Hang. It is the model of EGT last year, with a maximum horsepower of 600 horsepower. Although An Feng is not satisfied, it is also a high-horsepower speed machine for Zhou Hang. The steering wheel alone has concentrated the technology of Maserati and GP. Crystallization, many need to learn from scratch.


    After learning, he was taken to run for a few laps, and then Zhou Hang formally tested the car.


    Zhou Hang''s performance in these few laps was very careful, and there were not many bright spots, but not everyone can be like An Feng. A car can be familiar after a few times. Everyone is satisfied with the performance of the test car. Slowly adjust to the new rhythm.


    At this time Cooper and Duke also came.


    They sat down and discussed with An Feng about the new driver. According to the plan, Cooper will continue to participate in this year''s EGT. Like a powerful team, it burns money.


    Cooper and Duke are more concerned about FE. It is an electric car race highly recommended by the FIA, and the touring car race is doomed to be unable to achieve the purity of the formula. The formula is generated for the ultimate performance in all aspects and solves the key After technical difficulties, it can be a top event at any time.


    An Feng said: "If you join the formula, the team will have to burn money."


    Duke has his own opinion: "Formula will inevitably become a money-burning game, especially after the FIA ??intends to open up more technical modifications, but just like last year''s EGT''s successful publicity, and in terms of intangible influence, I think GP Both the company and Maserati got enough performance."


    "The reason is the same." An Feng nodded, but no matter how much he can earn, according to Maserati''s plan to develop into an automobile group, the formula can demonstrate the power of their motors, and they can be named in the name of the GP team, or add the title of GP-Maserati, Both are beneficial.


    The important thing is that Cooper is indeed talented. The power of EGT events is not much weaker than that of F1 in recent years, but he won the championship by sweeping his opponents, which proves that this level is still very easy for him. Talent cannot be wasted. It is best to use Let him shine at the highest level.


    After a few laps of the test run, Zhou Hang drove back to the maintenance station.


    "How do you feel?" An Feng asked.


    "The horsepower is high, much faster than before, especially when cornering, I feel my body is being torn." Zhou Hang said truthfully, the actual driving experience is very deep.


    "Normal, we need to strengthen physical training in the future." An Feng said that the acceleration exceeding 2G is not comfortable, especially if you don''t have the physique of a big Western man, you have to train hard to strengthen your body. The most important thing is that your neck must be strong enough. , otherwise it will not be able to withstand a game.


    "I will." Zhou Hang looked at the racing car with confidence.


    "Tomorrow''s star." An Feng said to Duke and Cooper, "You take care of him more when you have time, he is very talented. After Cooper moves to FE, he will suppress EGT."


    "I know." Duke looked at Zhou Hang. As a former professional driver, he knew what to do.

 Chapter 387： vanity fair

    Chapter 387 Vanity Fair


    An Feng has no worries about burning money to play racing cars, because there is too much money. Although the consortium has a huge plan that can destroy the country, who knows when it will start? Focusing on the reality, taxation is a headache. He has more income this year than last year, and his personal tax is also a scary figure.


    Apart from investing in finance, he now buys some gold and hoards it. Recently, he occasionally pays attention to sports, but he doesn��t like much, horse racing, car racing and football. I don''t understand, it''s meaningless to invest money.


    Last year, he asked his assistant to pay attention to the NBA. He was interested in it, and he also had the idea of ??investing in value preservation, but the most important thing was the interest. As long as he was interested, it was like football, and the loss was completely filtered by him... According to his assistant John, this year''s NBA Spurs Something is wrong with the boss''s funds.


    The specific situation is unclear. The owner of the Spurs is nicknamed selling tractors to make a fortune. His net worth is not as good as that of the owners of other teams. An Feng played basketball for a period of time in high school and was also interested.


    An Feng asked John to continue to pay attention. If it is suitable, he may consider starting.


    A few days later, Roger and his wife visited.


    An Feng, who came back from walking the tiger, happened to see them teasing the children. Roger made a funny face. An Feng said: "If you want to scare her to tears, don''t even think about leaving tonight!"


    Roger looked around and smiled: "I like this place."


    "Maybe I should let you go and keep Miranda." An Feng stepped forward to give him a hug, and then gave Miranda a hug. "Hey, Miranda, the ring is worn on the ring finger all the time, the normal life must be so sweet that you forget me as a friend, right?"


    "It''s because you are a busy person and don''t have time to receive us." Miranda said with a smile, "Very cute little baby, I want to have one too."


    "Then I can''t help you." An Feng shrugged and looked at Roger.


    Roger smiled: "Of course you don''t have to worry about it."


    "Sit down quickly." Joanna sat on the sofa with the child in her arms, and they sat down beside her.


    Miranda looked at Joanna and praised sincerely: "You have recovered really well. If I hadn''t seen a photo of your belly a few months ago, I would not have believed it."


    "Focus on exercising, anyone can do it." Joanna said with a smile. She was wearing a light gray dress with suspenders, a small necklace hanging around her neck, embellished with a **** collarbone, and long hair shawl. The child''s appearance also brought a strong maternal brilliance.


    An Feng nodded to the maid who brought tea to the table, and then asked: "I came here specially this time, what''s the matter?"


    "Can''t I come to visit you specially?" Roger said.


    "Okay, welcome anytime." An Feng took a sip of black tea with honey, "But judging by your appearance, there must be other things, don''t hide them."


    "There is indeed something I want to tell you." Roger said, "I heard that you invested in a movie last year?"


    An Feng nodded: "Yes, it was released in October last year. It''s called FR. I went to see it specially. As a popcorn commercial, it''s pretty good."


    "Have you not paid attention recently?" Roger asked.


    "I''m busy with the children''s mother and children, and I don''t have time to take care of other things." An Feng said that he didn''t go to burn money because he was busy, and he paid a lot of taxes last year.


    "FR was nominated for an Oscar, thanks to the holographic technology you provided. It will compete for several awards for best photography, best visual effects and best sound effects. Although it is not a heavyweight award, with these advanced technologies, Competitors pale in comparison.��


    "It seems that the beginning is not bad." An Feng has also heard the media''s hot comment on holographic film art recently. At present, there are less than ten movie theaters in the United States that have the projection conditions. Trendy, the point is to be able to look in different directions. Although it is not an absolute free angle after artistic processing, the sense of experience has been improved several levels.


    Even if they want to see absolutely free angles, the film crew can''t do it, especially for some shots that rely on clever vision. If they have all-round vision, then people lying on the ground may look developed.


    Roger continued: "I know the director and some entertainment tycoons. They got to know you through me and want to invite you to the awards ceremony and the dinner afterwards."


    "About holographic technology?" An Feng guessed.


    "Yes, especially the film companies are very interested in this technology. They have also contacted the Holographic Art Company, but the answer they got was not accurate, so they want to bypass the procedure and talk directly to you, the behind-the-scenes boss. "Roger said, "And I am here to do odd jobs."


    An Feng laughed. If Roger was doing odd jobs, other entertainment tycoons would not be much better off.


    "Are you interested?" Roger said, "If you don''t want to attend the lively occasion, you can choose another time, but you have to come one by one, it is difficult to talk together."


    "I don''t mind the venue, but recently..." An Feng looked at Joanna.


    "Of course you can go if you like." Joanna said very enlightenedly, "Do you need me to accompany you?"


    "Then where should I go to find a female companion?" An Feng smiled wryly, and the other two also secretly laughed. It''s not easy to be a good man.


    "I''ll accompany you." Joanna said, "I just didn''t wear a custom spring and summer dress last time, and I should be able to wear it with my current figure."


    "Absolutely no problem." An Feng flattered him.


    ��


    The Oscar ceremony is a very grand event for both actors and directors, especially the red carpet is the hardest hit area for actresses to compete for beauty. With such a small red carpet, many people wish it would be longer. A thousand times, so that I can slowly enjoy the spotlight.


    The red carpet starts to walk around 5:00 p.m., the awards ceremony is held at 6:30 p.m., the surrounding area of ??the Dolby Theater is bustling with big names... But it has nothing to do with An Feng. After 6:30 p.m., when the eyes of the media turn to the interior At that time, An Feng''s Rolls-Royce arrived late.


    An Feng is holding a VIP invitation card, which is located in the boxes on both sides of the stage. These are usually non-entertainment people, and only those with noble status can enjoy it, usually senior executives of film companies or investors. An Feng''s other identity is an investor, and his qualifications are absolutely sufficient.


    Entered the venue in a low-key manner, and was led to the door of the box by the waiter.


    The private room is not big, and Roger and Miranda are also there, as well as a few middle-aged people. Roger introduced them to them. Not surprisingly, they are all senior executives of the film and television company, but they are not young, and they are from Time Warner. One of them had a friendship with Roger and used that relationship to approach him.


    "This is Mr. Romano." Roger introduced, "These two are Mr. Ann and his wife."


    Both sides greeted each other, but the ceremony had already begun, so they sat down and didn''t talk much.


    The surrounding festival boxes are all separated, and they can look down at the stage and the audience from a high position. Although they can''t see the characters clearly, the bosses probably like the feeling of everything crawling under their feet. Entertainment characters are nothing to them. It''s just an "entertainment tool" that can make money.


    This year''s awards ceremony was very procrastinating. Fortunately, the box is different from other places. It provides snacks and drinks. After seeing An Feng and Joanna, they began to order some food. Several entertainers headed by Romano took the opportunity to chat with him. , the topic is of course about the upcoming awards.


    "I think FR is very likely to win the prize this time." Romano said flatteringly, what kind of society he has come into contact with, for a tycoon like them, he also knows some guys who are particularly bullish in society, especially Ann. Feng''s identity as a yellow race is easy to remember.


    "I hope so." An Feng said, looking at the awarding platform, the list in the envelope was being taken out by the awarding guests and read out.


    "The best visual effect is..." The award presenter drew a long tone, and said together with the female guest: "FR!"


    There was thunderous applause at the scene, the award-winning team hugged and congratulated, and sent someone to the stage to accept the award, followed by an award acceptance speech, An Feng applauded, feeling that without holographic technology, it would not be easy for this film to win an award. It is a gift to high technology.


    "Congratulations, Mr. An!" The people in the box directly congratulated him.


    Although there are no words related to him on the movie list, anyone with a discerning eye knows the importance of the technology provider. Mastering this channel is equivalent to grasping the future trend. Not too much, but it''s hot, and the future is worth taking a gamble on.


    An Feng also accepted their congratulations with a smile.


    Although he didn''t get the statuette, through layers of relationships, the technology of holographic projection is finally affected. An Feng simply imagined that in addition to promoting the luxury of holographic environment, it is also good as a movie technology... Anyway, in the end can bring him profit.


    After the awards ceremony, transfer to the Sunset Tower Hotel to attend the Oscar dinner.


    This is a celebratory party, with a higher standard than an award ceremony, and it is more flocking. There are a lot of unspoken rules and transactions in the party, including the unspoken rules between fashion magazines and famous brand advertisements, celebrities and their public relations.


    Bida Company provided high-end drinks for this dinner and spent a lot of money.


    But the award ceremony was delayed too late. If it wasn''t for Romano''s kind invitation, An Feng should have gone home considering Joanna''s health. This time, to save face, he went back to the car first, took out the exquisite snacks prepared in the afternoon, let Joanna eat some, and then drank some biological drinks.


    After being refreshed, Rolls-Royce continued to set off.


    There is also a catwalk this time, whether it is an award or not, you can continue to appear in front of hundreds of media people if you are happy, showing off= coquettish. Joanna hadn''t been reduced to the point of being watched and entertained, so she went directly to the tycoon-only passage and was escorted into the arena by bodyguards. There are also reporters in the arena, but the number is smaller. Everyone''s eyes are on the stars, and they have no time to take care of the big shots.


    Several important people sit down at the table.


    This is the busiest business that An Feng has ever talked about, with the most irrelevant personnel, but if it happens one by one, he doesn''t have that much time, so he just takes this opportunity to talk to six or seven well-known film companies in Hollywood. High-level talk about the cooperation of holographic films.


    This is actually a matter of a business card. Everyone wants to talk to the boss in person. The purpose is to seize the opportunity, but unfortunately An Feng is a typical shopkeeper who throws his hands away. ��Give each of them a company business card.


    After dismissing them, An Feng concentrated on his own affairs.


    To say that this trip also has an element of watching the excitement, it is the first time to get close to so many Hollywood movie stars, and to be honest, billionaires will also have favorite movies and favorite stars. It doesn��t mean that after tens of billions, the realm will be transcended. An Feng caught sight of many familiar characters on the spot.


    Romano was with Roger, so he was also at An Feng''s side. Seeing his eyes sweeping the audience, Romano asked, "Does Mr. An have any friends?"


    "No." An Feng shook his head, "I just took a closer look at these big names."


    "If Mr. An wants to like it, I can let them come here at any time." Romano is very confident, it is nothing more than adding a degree of exposure, just like the actress who was not well-known before, appeared on the cover of a fashion magazine after the dinner. The unspoken rules are already blatant.


    "It''s not necessary." An Feng said with a smile, Romano was getting close to him.


    Although he didn''t have much interest in dealing with these people, Romano was very attentive to An Feng. He praised Joanna. After An Feng was happy, he continued to talk about other things, and then talked about things with Roger... When it comes to investing in movies, An Feng has a lot to talk about.


    An Feng said: "I am more interested in future themes, such as robots and artificial intelligence, topics that can be explored in depth, such as whether robots can replace humans, whether artificial intelligence will have an independent personality after it has consciousness, and cause chaos...I like it The thought process inside."


    Romano said: "Mr. An, I do know that many editors design these scripts, especially after GP has vigorously developed in the field of intelligence in recent years."


    "Really?" An Feng became interested.

 Chapter 388： money burning movie

    Chapter 388 Money Burning Movie


    Romano nodded: "Yes, sir. In the past few years, the technological world has continuously made major breakthroughs. The growth of computer processor performance has completely defeated Moore''s Law, and artificial intelligence and robots have also frequently entered people''s sights. Science fiction."


    An Feng is clear that the development of intelligence by GP is not uncommon. It started a few years ago. So far, there is not much information released to the public, but an anonymous source broke the news that they have made great progress��and this has also triggered some excessive brainstorming. Compensation, concerns about artificial intelligence, etc.


    Taking this as the theme, designing a wonderful plot, or leaving enough room for the audience to think, is the trend of science fiction movies in recent years. In addition, robots are also popular. The first generation of bionics from the robot company is very shocking, while the second generation , Known as the all-round assistant of life.


    "I would be very interested in this type of subject matter." An Feng said, "I can even provide some real props, such as robots, exoskeletons or other high-tech, to make the movie look more real ,what do you think?"


    Romano nodded: "The current technology can be very simulated, but using the real one will be impeccable."


    "There is also a lot of room for expansion in holographic technology..." When it comes to An Feng''s favorite subjects, he really speaks more.


    Romano is also chatting along his hobbies.


    Entertainment tycoons and investors are chatting here, and celebrities have become the foil for the discussion. Sitting bored, Joanna is taken by Miranda to meet a star she''s interested in. It is said that she watched a romance movie a while ago, and secretly wiped her tears, and now she met the heroine.


    Miranda is well-known in the circle. She is now the owner of three fashion magazines, one of which is very famous in the west, and both ordinary people and celebrities like it��ordinary people buy it to see what the stars are doing, and celebrities buy it. Want to see other people report what they do.


    So she can be regarded as a BOSS. Although she is not as good as the tycoons of the film company, her husband is capable, comes from a big family, and has a wide circle of friends. No one dares to underestimate her. On the contrary, if she can please her, tomorrow On the entertainment news, on the cover of the magazine the day after tomorrow, and reach the sky in one step.


    Although big names don��t really need this kind of exposure, they still have to establish a good relationship with the media. Miranda brought a dame to meet them, and no one dared to neglect her. The acting skills were brought into play, and the chat was as if they had known each other for more than ten years. Old friends, there are frequent laughter in unison.


    Joanna knows that their purpose of pleasing her is not so simple, but whether it is in the entertainment industry or other places, many people need to wear masks. She can adapt to it calmly after seeing too much... It��s just a little disappointed, she is substituting the movie role into On to the actors.


    This can be regarded as a kind of loss after longing.


    An Feng and Romano had a pleasant chat, and met many gold medal screenwriters and famous directors. They all said that the next time there is a good script, they can accept his investment, and instead reduce the burden on the film company, so that the company''s investment is guaranteed , and how much An Feng likes it.


    The reason why An Feng likes to invest in this kind of movie is because he likes it. Once he likes it, he doesn''t mind other problems. At most, he will spend tens of millions just to watch a movie he likes. There aren''t many good movies nowadays, so he can still afford them, and big productions don''t necessarily lose money.


    ��


    There are thousands of people flocking to this Hollywood party, and it is very lively. Everyone, without exception, revolves around big names and tycoons. , or the future of big names eager to break through.


    An Feng has seen a lot of blatant power and **** transactions. Actresses are on the top, big names are playing tricks, and the top parties in the entertainment industry have brought their entertainment nature to the extreme. What''s even more interesting is that this party has prepared countless exquisite food, but will it really happen? There are very few people who move it.


    It��s definitely not that you��re not hungry. Starting at five o��clock in the afternoon, you must not eat a lot before walking on the red carpet. Beware of accidents, and then the awards ceremony lasted until ten o��clock, followed by non-stop transitions to the hotel for more grand parties. Are you hungry? However, surrounded by the media from beginning to end, I dare not eat too much. If I am really hungry, I just taste a little bit, and I still have to be careful not to be photographed ugly.


    An Feng didn''t have much scruples, and he ate what he should eat, but Joanna, like everyone else, ignored the food on the table and only drank a little champagne, but the difference was that they had been hungry all night, and she just now After eating snacks in the car, she was really not hungry.


    Looking at those hungry faces, An Feng could imagine that after the midnight party, the star''s assistants ran to the side of the road to get burgers, and returned to the luxury car to drink mineral water for the star. He had heard of such face-saving cases before, so he specially brought some snacks.


    ��


    After successfully starving the stars until one or two o''clock, the party finally ended, but at one o''clock, An Feng had already retreated with his wife and got the result he wanted. The star show, not theirs.


    An Feng is currently interested in three scripts, two of which explore artificial intelligence. There is no standard for judging good or bad. Of course, he doesn''t like to deny artificial intelligence completely, otherwise he will slap himself in the face; there is also a robot script, which is also A little intelligence is involved, and the process is a bit like Asimov''s "Robot Series". Under the strict laws formulated by humans, will there be loopholes?


    The three scripts are all written by gold-medal screenwriters. They are aimed at big productions and are in line with the current trend. If An Feng can provide some technical support, the shooting scenes will be more realistic. Even the "company" in a certain sci-fi script is based on Modeled after San Jose Robotics.


    An Feng provided the company''s robot to participate in the filming, with the company logo printed on the body. After the movie, it was an invisible placement advertisement... With all sorts of strange ideas, he came to the robot company by plane to see how the latest research and development progressed. what stage.


    The companies founded by An Feng have very close cooperation. An��s Industry, Robotics Company, GP Company and Research Center all have overlaps, and there are not many cooperations with each other. The requirements are now developed well.


    The first generation of bionic robots has come to an end and has not been put into the market. The company has invested in the second generation of bionic robots. According to An Feng''s idea that it does not involve the military, the second generation is completely biased towards the field of life. Although they are smarter, their body structure is not the same. Not applicable to the military industry.


    Hoffman said: "We have completed 95% of the content and conquered the core technology, and the rest is some beautification work."


    "This is our sample." Hoffman pointed to the bionic machine in front of him.


    The second-generation robot has a lot of synthetic and environmentally friendly materials. Like the first-generation lightweight alloys, exoskeletons and various defensive equipment are not used. The second-generation appearance is smooth with bionic skin. The purpose of the research and development is to Dream and serve humanity.


    Hoffman said: "The second generation focuses on intelligence. GP''s artificial intelligence has no breakthrough, but more flexible intelligent chips already exist. When used in robots, its thinking performance is better. The first generation is physical. Flexibility, the second generation is the flexibility of the brain."


    "Well done!" An Feng encouraged, "After the product is released, you will become the pioneers of intelligent robots!"


    After he saw this generation of bionic machines, he had other ideas. The research on robots was completed and declared over, and it would no longer be developed by humans in the future. The second generation seems to be fragile and mainly serves the family, but in fact Anfeng is interested in flexible structures and smart chips.


    The strength of the body can be changed, and it may take a little thought, but for the sake of caution, there is no need to let more people come into contact with the robot army that is about to be built. At present, they are all covered with the shell of civilian bionic machines. As for the market, Anfeng has no How much sincerity��it''s priced high.


    The bionic research of the Hoffman group has almost come to an end. An Feng will no longer provide this technology, but good materials cannot be wasted. Bionics is only a small category of robots. There are many more large-scale robots that are more flexible than human structures. Yes, it collectively refers to the machine industry.


    "Will there be conflicts in the execution of orders?" An Feng asked a question that both reality and movies care about.


    Hoffman said: "We used three laws for the basis of the robot program."


    "Asimov''s?" An Feng said.


    "That''s right." They nodded.


    Three Laws of Robotics


    First Law: A robot may not injure a human being, nor shall it stand by while a human being is harmed;


    Second law: Robots should obey all human orders, but must not violate the first law;


    The third law: Robots should protect their own safety, but must not violate the first and second laws.


    After receiving an affirmative answer, An Feng smiled and said, "It''s really interesting, and maybe it''s a good movie theme!"


    "Film?" Hoffman asked.


    An Feng nodded. He was very interested in robot scripts. There are many movies about robots in Hollywood, but only a few of them suit his taste. Doomsday fantasies such as Terminator are just enjoyable, while "Artificial Intelligence", "I, Robot" He is more interested in this.


    With this in mind, he contacted Romano and discussed some details over the phone.


    The script was written by a strong production team, and Warner has plans to shoot such themes and hire famous directors. James Cameron and the like may join. It is positioned as a big production with an investment of 100 to 200 million yuan. Yes, but currently there is a lack of funds and investors.


    Hollywood film companies have changed a lot. In the past, they monopolized all the blockbuster films that made money, did not accept investment, or used other methods to borrow money. They only used a small cost to shoot, but when a company inevitably had financial difficulties, at this time Can only accept investment.


    Obviously, An Feng is not short of this money, and he is interested.


    In hindsight, he will support the film in the form of investment and loan. Warner is also very shrewd in this regard, unwilling to accept a large proportion of investment, and instead negotiate a slightly higher interest loan with him... He doesn''t care about these Little trick, he just wants to watch the movie.


    If you want to watch a movie, invest in a big director to make it. Maybe you can see the movie you like after two years. An Feng plans to invest in three films, so as not to cause panic in the future, and the investment of casting a net may pay off. Although the probability is not high, Hollywood blockbuster bets nine times out of ten, but it is not a failure.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 389： intelligent

    Chapter 389 Intelligence


    The film investment cost more than 100 million yuan, which is not too much to spend on the three films, two of which are commercial productions, and the other one is more connotative, not a noisy commercial blockbuster, which An Feng appreciates more. Usually well-received and award-winning films are not commercial films, but in-depth.


    After getting things done, the time came to April.


    During these days, An Feng''s daughter has gained some weight. Her little face is chubby and rosy. Looking at it makes people want to take a bite. When An Feng hugged her, she had this idea more than once, but she I also like her father to kiss her very much, if she grows up and let her know the truth...


    "Alice''s hair has grown longer." An Feng hugged her and sat on the bench by the lake, teasing the little guy.


    Joanna came over to take a look, and nodded: "The color has also become darker. It is estimated that after one or two years old, it will become the same black as you."


    "According to the example of mixed-race inheritance, the color of black hair will not be so dark." An Feng said, "If she has a pair of sapphire blue eyes, she will be cute."


    "Then we have to have this gene." Joanna smiled.


    "It''s a pity that the eye color didn''t inherit from yours."


    "Black eyes are also pretty." Joanna reached out and gently grabbed her little hand, "Isn''t it, baby?"


    Alice shook her mother''s hand, and with her mouth open, Joanna said, "Look at her smile."


    "It''s so interesting." An Feng said, when the cell phone on his body rang, "You give her a hug, I''ll answer the call."


    Take it out and see that it is my mother calling, An Feng answered: "Mom, are you concerned about your granddaughter again?"


    An Feng''s parents went back in March, and there is another bear child who needs to be taken care of at home, but every once in a while, they like to call to ask, don''t worry about this, don''t worry about that, even if there is a professional babysitter at home, But old people always have their own concerns.


    I talked to my mother for about ten minutes, and kept responding with "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" up to ten minutes, and finally ended the call on the grounds that too many calls would affect the children around me.


    Joanna said: "Mom likes the child so much, let her stay longer next time."


    "The problem is that they will feel bored." An Feng said that the room at home is always empty, but the elderly are not used to the language and customs here.


    "Yes, only the two of us can communicate." Joanna had a deep understanding.


    After saying a few words, the phone rang, and it was an email. An Feng picked it up to have a look, and then made a phone call: "John, what''s going on?"


    "We got a reply from the Spurs boss, saying that they are considering selling, but the price needs to be discussed."


    An Feng thought for a while: "I have a business trip to Texas next week. You can see if the other party is free. If possible, prepare."


    "Okay, I''ll get ready," John said.


    After hanging up the phone, An Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "I finally have somewhere to spend money this year. It''s not easy to spend money. You will be smarter than me in the future, kid!"


    "Do you think so?" He put his head in front of Alice, and she called out a few times.


    Joanna smiled: "It is said that educating children to save money, how can anyone teach her to spend more money than you like this?"


    "Hahaha!" An Feng smiled, "So she is unique, right, little princess?"


    An Feng scratched her with his finger, the little guy moved his arms and legs and laughed.


    ��


    A few days later, An Feng set off with a few assistants.


    The plane landed in Austin. An Feng was not interested in participating in business negotiations, so he asked John to talk to Spurs owner Holt on his behalf. The main purpose of coming to Texas this time is the affairs of the GP company, and they have not made any big moves for a long time.


    Of course, both GP Energy and GP Electronics are innovating to consolidate their unshakable position, and the market reports are also surrounding them, but An Feng believes that the big move is another breakthrough in technology, such as the quantum computer that has lasted for many years and smart.


    In fact, research and development can be faster, but An Feng is busy with things, and the research and development team is weak, so Mr. G��the third virtual person��can only be asked to give them lectures. An Feng saved some of his thoughts and understandings, and showed them to watch them repeatedly, making breakthroughs little by little.


    Finally, recently, the AI ??team had a breakthrough.


    The research and development team headed by Song Wenrui, more than 20 elites have realized the quantum computer operation based on An Feng''s theory through superconductor technology. The matter is currently strictly confidential, because they are not sure whether it is correct or not. They need An Feng, who is always judged by God in this regard, to do it. final test.


    An Feng also saw the tightly wrapped quantum computer in the confidential laboratory. According to reports, most of the parts inside are superconductors. With the help of refrigerant, the superconducting environment is always maintained at minus 15 degrees. operations based on quantum algorithms.


    Song Wenrui introduced: "At present, its computing power is not as good as the Ares computer, let alone GP''s new architecture, but its potential is extremely huge, and its computing power is exponentially doubling every generation. If it keeps going, it will It will exceed the sum of all the computing power of all the computers in the world."


    According to the theory, the quantum computer can be powerful enough to cover the universe... An Feng is not sure if it is that strong, but it is definitely not possible now.


    Because he tampered with research and development.


    It can only be said that the older this person is, the more thoughtful he becomes, or he thinks more comprehensively.


    An Feng doesn''t doubt his team, but there are some things that the team can''t control, quantum computer, robot industry, nuclear industry, gene theory... too many things are not suitable for handing over to the world in advance, so he keeps calm adjustment.


    For example, this batch of quantum computers can only be regarded as quasi-quantum computers, and it is still difficult for them to surpass supercomputers composed of graphene chips. It can be tens or hundreds of years.


    Only he himself can handle it in a short time.


    It is equivalent to a semi-finished product, it can be used, but it is not complete. The team saved him a lot of time, and the rest should not be made public too early, so he can only do it by himself, or let a trusted intelligent program do it��this is what he needs The cause of robotics and artificial intelligence.


    "We have added a bionic structure, based on the quantum computer, with the bionic computer as the core, to create an intelligence with a certain logic." Song Wenrui paused, "But it can only be said that it has the intelligence and logic of a six- or seven-year-old child. It''s very simple."


    "It will always grow up." An Feng said, "Let''s start the test."


    Song Wenrui nodded to the others.


    Current biological intelligence has the "sense" of sound to the outside world, so it can talk directly. An Feng asked: "What''s your name?"


    It has no sound system, and the text is displayed on the screen: "Number X005, no name yet."


    An Feng asked: "Then do you know what you are?"


    "Machine?" It added a question mark.


    "Yes, you are a machine, a special machine that can think." An Feng said.


    "What is ''thinking''?" Machine sentences also have question marks at the end. Unlike ordinary computers, it can ask questions, not whether to judge.


    An Feng was stopped by it, and he never thought about what it is, the patent of intelligent creatures?


    Song Wenrui reminded at the side: "Its program cannot understand things that are too complicated, and the explanation you give it must be concise enough to be digested."


    An Feng continued to chat with it about some simple content later, which felt like communicating with a child. You should be simple and even patient��because it will be distracted. The whole result is very miraculous, and there are many questions for intelligent machines.


    After the test is over, the machine temporarily sleeps.


    An Feng and the technicians came to the R&D office to discuss some complicated content.


    Song Wenrui introduced the part of intelligence generation: "It is different from the traditional brain we understand. Its logic part is in the bionic machine, and the process borrows the quantum computer, which can also be understood as it borrows the brain of the computer. The stronger the quantum computer, the more more mature."


    "We build a set of sensory systems, which are connected to the hierarchical storage system that operates on the working principle of the cerebral cortex. Training it is like educating children. After repeated training, the intelligent machine will build a self-organization through its own senses. We don��t need and don��t need to edit the program, instill our artificial imagination into it, it is very similar to the human brain, and it will understand itself.��


    An Feng listened to the main report, combined with his own experience, and determined that simple intelligence has been produced, but it is not yet the complete artificial intelligence he hoped for. It is currently established under human rules, and it is still very simple. A child of six or seven years old, even if it evolves Not more than ten years old.


    The structure they adopted is based on the concept of huge calculations, which leads to the smarter the artificial intelligence is, its thinking will not stop��it will shorten its lifespan. Just like humans, it will go crazy if it thinks too much, and it will become confused if it thinks too much, and its life span may only be six or seven years.


    But there is a first step in everything, and now is the historic moment of artificial intelligence.


    This level of intelligence, after a complete modification, it can manage robots or dedicated networks according to Anfeng''s requirements. It is enough for now, so An Feng is very satisfied. "We can think about building a sensory system and perfecting it," he said.


    "We are preparing these." Song Wenrui said.


    "Very good." An Feng nodded, "One more question, what''s its name?"


    Song Wenrui said: "Hal, H-A-L."


    "HAL?" An Feng thought for a while, "Space Odyssey?"


    "Yes." Song Wenrui nodded with a smile, "Every letter is in front of IBM."


    "Interesting, but I hope it won''t do crazy things in the future." An Feng said.


    Space Odyssey is a series of science fiction novels written by Arthur Clarke. Song Wenrui��s name for Smart comes from the artificial intelligence ��Hal�� in it. In the novels, Hal has a problem on the way and kills the astronaut, allowing the protagonist to pass A space drifting "Odyssey" addiction.


    Song Wenrui said: "Of course not. The basic procedure for making it is to obey human beings. No matter how intelligent it is, it is still a machine that follows the procedures. The self-protection mechanism will eliminate the hidden danger of disorder. Just like humans made guns, but they still have Like insurance, it has insurance."

 Chapter 390： Chinese boss

    Chapter 390 Chinese Boss


    An Feng also left a task. In addition to perfecting the structure of Hal and adding a sensory system, he will continue to manufacture two prototypes of the same type. He did not say the specific purpose, but he has to readjust himself. It will be used at home and in hunting grounds. In the underground bunker dug out of the ground.


    An Feng''s behavior is difficult for most people to understand, including his wife Joanna. She has never been clear why An Feng insisted on spending huge sums of money to dig an underground world hundreds of meters deep. He was fooled by his strange reason.


    Because there is no news about John, An Feng will stay in Austin.


    He stayed in his office, listened to some reports from his assistant Eve, and then thought about things alone.


    But he is not thinking about the operation of the company, but the overall idea. For now, the clean nuclear energy, robotics, and artificial intelligence he needs are available��although these technologies are incomplete under his deliberate means, but the foundation is correct, and it is not difficult to transform.


    The information in An Feng''s head is still flipping, and those strange probabilities are also fluctuating. As far as it is concerned, it is not a big deal, but as long as it does not disappear, he has to make preparations. Everything is in place, he has robot bases in the United States and Africa, and other places should be considered.


    He turned on the satellite map and watched the entire earth.


    The bases in the United States can radiate North America, the ones in East Africa can take care of Africa, and the rest... He thought about the earth for a few hours, and finally drew a point in Algeria and Morocco in North Africa, which are across the shore from Spain and France , able to radiate the European region.


    Construction in these places will not be subject to various restrictions like developed countries. For example, Algeria has a good relationship with the United States. Anfeng can use his political connections to invest in local industries, desalination projects, greening, and civilian nuclear energy facilities. .


    An Feng marked the nearby area, preparing for An''s Industry to open up roads in the future.


    Europe is settled, and the rest is Asia... He searched and searched. It is not safe for American businessmen to invest in the Middle East. Of course, Qatar, which has a good relationship with him, and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates can be considered, but there are no local resources, which will result in high material costs. Can only do secondary planning.


    Further to the east, Thailand can consider setting up machinery industry factories, but it is a bit troublesome to engage in nuclear energy, and I don��t know the intention of the local government. Anfeng prefers Thailand, where the transportation is convenient. The nuclear industry cannot be established, but the machine factory is safe, not to mention that the robot base is underground.


    Many things are actually willing to spend money, and the authorities will turn a blind eye. After all, robot companies are in the serious robot business, and their future civilian service machines will be promoted to the world. With a bunch of parts, it''s hard to tell which ones are armed robots and which ones are for civilian use?


    In the past, it will be easier in China. There are a lot of factories in the coastal areas, even if they can��t make robots, they can also make parts in sections, and there are many resources, and the operating cost is relatively low. At present, the natural resources for robots are also a problem. Without copper and iron mines, we cannot do industry.


    Down, eyes on Australia.


    Australia is an iron ore giant with extremely rich resources and sparsely populated land. It is most suitable to build a base locally under the guise of industry and greening. I believe that with American capital and the intervention of American spokespersons in this regard, Australia will definitely very well behaved.


    Further down to South America, Brazil is also very rich in iron ore resources, which is worth a try.


    All the bases are remotely controlled by artificial intelligence, and a backup independent operation method is adopted. As long as the probability of the future is wrong, when natural disasters and man-made disasters occur, human beings can''t stand it, and robots can appear... Anfeng''s starting point for making them is entirely to avoid crisis.


    Of course he hopes that nothing will happen, and the bases will all be abandoned in a hundred years, but everything has to be prevented.


    In a series of plans, resources and a suitable manufacturing environment are particularly important. The former can be done with money, while the latter, Anfeng invests in politics, and the American vest is not for fun. When U.S. businessmen invest overseas, the U.S. government has to guarantee safety, and the U.S. government is very qualified in this regard.


    An Feng saved the plans and planned to implement them one by one in the next few years.


    ��


    A day later, the news of John''s confirmation came.


    His bodyguard drove away the two presidents of the company. Since the acquisition of Maserati, the company has frequently appeared in Maserati cars to sports cars, which can be called the largest company garage. Drive south to San Antonio, 100 kilometers away, and the acquisition of the Spurs is under intense negotiation.


    The NBA does not burn as much money as the Premier League. The transfer fee of 50 to 60 million pounds will not appear in the NBA. Their players are generally replaced by players, and it is very rare to buy players. And even if you buy it, the price won''t be too high. The basketball league is responsible for the balance, and there are many restrictions.


    However, the value of the team is very high. Six or seven years ago, after the owner of the Clippers made racial discrimination remarks, the Clippers finally changed hands for 2 billion US dollars. The original value of the Clippers was only more than 500 million US dollars. Until now, Some people suspect that it is a good show directed and performed by the owner of the Clippers.


    An Feng is optimistic about the Spurs, which is a typical small-capital business model. The boss sells tractors to make a fortune, and his assets are at the bottom. Naturally, he can''t afford it, but the results are good, and the profit is tens of millions. As for the price... The outside world predicts that it will be around one billion US dollars. The geographical advantages and the environment determine that it is different from the Clippers.


    There are many references for buying the Spurs. Like the previous Los Angeles Clippers, it was the hype of racial remarks, and the second was the geographical location. Los Angeles is a tall place. Coupled with the fact that there are many local tyrants in the United States, the result is that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and it is not so high-profile at present.


    ��


    An Feng''s team is negotiating business with Spurs owner Holt, and other interested parties are also negotiating. Little is known about what happened to Holt''s funds. It is only known that he wants to sell the Spurs for cash, which will attract a large number of buyers interested in professional basketball.


    An Feng is just one of them, of course he is the richest.


    At present, the maximum budget given to John is 2 billion US dollars. If it exceeds 2 billion dollars, he will not consider it. He will directly spend 2 billion dollars to continue playing European football, buy a small team and then form a team of sky-high players, or buy a big team and just sit and watch. It is more suitable for big-name players to change the situation on the court.


    After An Feng arrived in San Antonio, he stayed at the hotel.


    John is also talking about it, and things are relatively smooth. There are many rich people in the United States, but there are not many who have the ability to challenge An Feng. An Feng now has 5 billion gold reserves. Even the world''s richest man can''t spend so much at once. Money, so his confidence greatly affects the confidence of other competitors.


    The next day John called: "Sir, we have put Holt''s price at around one billion."


    "Is he willing to sign?" An Feng was more concerned about this.


    "There are still a few small details left, but the transaction price of 1.1 billion is not a big problem."


    "Are there any other conditions?" An Feng asked, the price is no problem, but he was afraid of raising some other restrictions, too restrictive and he didn''t want to play.


    "He hopes to continue to watch the playoffs that the Spurs participated in as the owner, and then you can officially become the owner of the team. In addition, the basketball league will also discuss and evaluate the transaction of shares, and decide Whether you are allowed to acquire shares."


    "That''s no problem." An Feng said, the basic procedures must be followed.


    "Then we fix the price?" John said.


    "yes."


    The owner of the Spurs chose John''s offer, and the cash of US$1.1 billion changed hands. After the end of the season, the owner of the Spurs changed. An Feng is very straightforward about the price, and it is suitable if it is within the budget. As for Holt wanting to wait until the end of the playoffs before stepping down, he doesn''t mind either.


    After the matter was settled, An Feng went to sign the contract.


    The location is also simple. I chose Holt''s office. Assistants and lawyers from both sides were present, as well as officials from the basketball league. The purchase of the team is the result of multiple discussions. In addition to the seller and the buyer, the league will also participate in this matter and be responsible for notifying An Feng of some matters that need to be paid attention to. The most important thing is: Share holders of NBA teams cannot Any other basketball team then holds shares.


    An Feng has no objection to this. His goal is to come to the Spurs, and other basketball teams are not considered. The agreement has also been printed out, and it is currently selecting difficult points to explain. After understanding, An Feng will communicate with the other party. The alliance welcomes Chinese bosses to join.


    The officials of the league are not stupid. The NBA is very popular in China, second only to the United States. Just like the Chinese elements in Hollywood movies, the addition of An Feng will definitely win more attention and help expand the market. They are following An Feng to talk about the performance of Chinese players.


    An Feng also talked with them for a while, and finally signed with Holt, and the 1.1 billion changed hands. After the playoffs, the team changed hands. To be honest, the outside world feels that Holt should wait another two months, and then talk about changing hands after competing for a place in the playoffs. The price will definitely be higher.


    If this year��s Spurs can become the Western Conference champion, or win the championship, the price may be higher. Of course, the value of the team depends more on the city and the ball market. Teams in big cities naturally have advantages, with more people and more potential audiences. And if the Spurs perform poorly and have no hope of winning the championship, the price will also be reduced-mainly because Holt currently lacks money to spend, so he didn''t play the bet.


    After signing the contract, An Feng shook hands with the other party, and he became the prospective boss.


    ��


    The process is the same as An Feng''s character, it was completed very simply, but it is a big news for the sports world, especially the first real Chinese owner, who used to have Chinese shareholders, but not an absolute controlling shareholder. Peak now owns more than 51% of the shares.


    The news of the next day was lively. The American sports news was reporting on this matter. The reporters who insisted on squatting watched captured An Feng wearing sunglasses and being escorted into the car by a group of bodyguards. It was a pity that he did not accept any interviews. If they couldn''t interview An Feng, they interviewed Holt who had not yet stepped down.


    Holt also said in the interview that the opponent is very low-key and does not know more details, but he believes that the opponent will bring new vitality to the team, and hopes that the team can fight with good results... A bunch of formulaic answers from Barabara, The public still knows very little about Anfeng.


    Some media specifically collected his information, not only sports, but also reports from other magazines and newspapers, and finally came to the conclusion: this person is low-key enough. He rejected Forbes'' interviews many times, and hundreds of invitations and features from more than a dozen economic newspapers in the west, and all he got was apology.


    However, according to detailed information, it is known that he has strong financial resources. The latest disclosure shows that he still holds 4%-5% of the shares of GP. The current share price of GP Energy is 320 US dollars, with a market value of 320 billion. Although GP Electronics is not listed, it is estimated It is worth 200 billion, so his net worth is more than 15 billion.


    In terms of financial resources, he is enviable. In addition, he is most active in racing cars a few years ago. As a super rich man, he played in person and won the runner-up. He has many fans. Unfortunately, he retired later, and he can still find it now Video of his interview.


    In addition, his wife is the owner of the Premier League giants, and he should also be a fan. Whether it is racing cars, football, or the current basketball, he must like sports, and he is not short of money. He is a low-key, but really dare A big guy who spends money for fun.


    The media editors spent some time, thousands of words and pictures, and a report that exposed the new boss of the Spurs came out. It received a lot of reprints and comments. Everyone was curious about Bruce Ann''s background, and the mystery was more serious. It makes people talk about him.


    In addition to the fact that the American media is very excited and has an interview with An Feng as the goal of a career breakthrough, China is also very enthusiastic. The first Chinese boss, people who often follow the NBA will definitely pay more attention to him. There are also discussions about him taking over the Spurs. , I am more concerned about the future lineup.


    The media can easily associate Chinese owners with Chinese players. If the Spurs want to improve their reputation in China, having a Chinese player is the best way. Of course, the results are also good, like the old Yao. The current NBA also has Chinese-American rising stars, and everyone hopes that he can consider it.


    Although it is impossible to talk to An Feng directly, there is already a way.


    Although his Weibo in China is low-key and has no publicity, the media''s observation ability is very careful. From the fact that he has participated in racing, to the fan group, there are naturally great gods in the fan group, and the big **** broke the news about his Weibo account. , followed by a sudden increase in attention.


    It can be said that it skyrocketed by more than 100,000 overnight, which is nothing to a big V, but the speed is fast enough. Fans join in the fun, Liverpool, racing and Spurs, and everyone Petition An Feng to exchange or buy a Chinese player.


    Even An Feng''s brother-in-law called later.


    "Did you buy Spurs?" Brother-in-law''s first words.


    "Yeah, what''s so strange." An Feng said, "Oh, I remember you loved playing basketball in middle school, right?"


    "You just know!" cried the brother-in-law, "Although the Spurs don''t have Duncan, Ginobili and Parker now, Leonard can still watch. By the way, have you noticed the remarks on Weibo? The fans hope you Buy Wang Zhelin, or exchange it with other players."


    "Is he not bad?" An Feng said.


    "It''s not bad, he is very young, talented, and dares to fight against big European and American players. Compared with the previous Chinese players, he is more open." The brother-in-law said.


    "I will consider it." An Feng said.


    "This is the wish of thousands of fans. It is rare to see such a unified group in recent years. Whether the Chinese American group can succeed depends on you."


    "Chinese group?" An Feng smiled, "Okay, okay, after the playoffs are over and I find a suitable team manager, I will try to do it, OK?"


    "It''s so cool!" The brother-in-law yelled strangely, "Next time I go there, I have to watch the game in person. I have never been to the stadium to watch the NBA in my life."


    It��s rare for a guy in his thirties to be so excited. An Feng said with a smile: "I will make a statement on Weibo to make you fans happy too."


    "Strongly agree." Brother-in-law said.


    An Feng took a minute to edit a message and posted it on Weibo, saying that he would fight for it. Soon, comments and retweets became popular, sports reports borrowed the news from the big boss, and the focus of the discussion was the player who was still in the dark and was preparing for the playoffs.


    Whether the transfer will be successful or not is still uncertain, but looking at the overall situation, the fans believe that there is still relatively high hope. After all, An Feng is really rich, and correspondingly he will spend a lot of money on the team. Refer to Liverpool , This year their money-burning lineup is fighting fiercely in the Champions League and the Premier League, and the goal is to win the championship.

 Chapter 391： european champion

    Chapter 391 European Champion


    After the matter of purchasing the Spurs was settled, An Feng asked his assistant to continue to consider the issue of the team manager. He naturally didn''t have time to be the CEO. In this regard, he had to hire a professional manager to cooperate with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. The rhythm will carry forward the pride.


    An Feng also interacted with fans on the Weibo homepage. Although he didn''t intend to promote it, the number of fans has reached 500,000. Some of them are Liverpool fans, some of them are car fans, and the rest are concerned about basketball. Every post is hilarious.


    The beginning of June is Alice''s 100th day. Before that, the team invested by Anfeng brought surprises. May is the end point of a large number of football matches in Europe. Liverpool''s performance this year has lived up to expectations. They won the Premier League and FA Cup winners.


    It has been three years since Joanna took over Liverpool. During the three years, she spent 400 million pounds to update Liverpool''s camp. A large number of blood changes and potential players were tapped to bring Liverpool back to its peak. The Premier League has undoubtedly won the first place in points. The total cup also won the championship.


    After many years, Liverpool has made a wonderful comeback, and most importantly, they reached the final of the Champions League at the end of May, and will face Bayern Munich in Germany to compete for the European championship. This is of great significance to Liverpool. Once they win the championship, it will be a triple crown king!


    After Liverpool won two English championships, they will aim at the European championship.


    This battle has caused an uproar in the football world, and even some fans temporarily put aside their prejudices and support their country and Liverpool. Once the championship is won, the Triple Crown, which has been absent for many years, will come to England. It will be a top event for British fans and even Red Army fans in the world.


    As the owner of Liverpool, Joanna naturally has to show support.


    She has watched several key matches of Liverpool in April and May, and she will not be able to miss the next Champions League match. She has already won more than a dozen tickets in the middle position, and the scalpers have also raised the price of the final ticket by more than ten times. , a good location is hard to find.


    An Feng has his reasons for getting so many votes.


    At the beginning of May, An Feng promised several friends in China that once Liverpool reached the final, he would invite them to watch the match in Milan and participate in the carnival afterward... It turned out to be a reality, and he simply asked his assistant to buy a good position at a high price Tickets, just waiting for the game to start.


    The day before departure, An Feng called Wu Chao: "How is the preparation of the spectator team?"


    Wu Chao said: "It''s almost there. My wife, I, Xiang Yang, and several **** Red Army members, eight of us, are preparing to board the plane now!"


    An Feng said: "Okay, I will arrive in the afternoon, and Wang Le will be with me."


    "Well, we will meet at the agreed place then."


    ��


    A day later, An Feng called the team to set off.


    The aircraft I took this time was the supersonic aircraft SBJ-ER delivered not long ago. I first flew to New York and landed. After refueling, I continued to cross the Atlantic Ocean, and the destination was Milan, Italy. Supersonic speed cannot be over the country, but after leaving the country''s airspace, supersonic speed begins.


    The passenger plane carrying six guests accelerated, broke through the sound barrier, and maintained the speed at Mach 1.7, comparable to the high-speed flight of a fighter jet. It took just over three hours to cover a distance of more than 6,000 kilometers. The chat on the plane was not over yet. The plane is ready to land in Milan.


    Wang Le looked at the earth outside the window: "So fast?"


    An Feng proudly said: "This is the speed you want, fasten your seat belt and prepare to land."


    After the plane got in touch with the control tower, it was allowed to land at the airport. After getting off the plane and going through customs inspection, the pick-up car sent by the hotel rarely arrived on time. They went to the hotel first and put down their luggage. The flight time was very short and they continued to head to the meeting place without rest.


    In order to take care of people��s commuting time, the UEFA Champions League games are usually held at night, so you can go to have a meal at this time in the afternoon, take a shower, and then start slowly... Arrive at a restaurant that was agreed upon, and received a call Wu Chao is acting as a road sign outside.


    The vehicle pulled over and stopped. Wu Chao glanced at the back seat, and stepped forward to open the door for An Feng with a dignified appearance. There was still a line in his mouth: "Boss, this way please!"


    Wang Le opened the door and got off the car: "Why don''t I get this kind of treatment?"


    "Let''s cool down!" Wu Chao said with a smile, "Now the third child is a rich man, and he holds everyone''s tickets tonight. Can you wait?"


    "So that''s the purpose!" An Feng hugged him, and several familiar friends in the restaurant were all present.


    "Misters and ladies!" An Feng shook hands with them one by one. He was either an old classmate or a friend, and this time he rushed to the ticket for the perfect location in his hand.


    After sitting down, Xiang Yang said: "Recently you are the focus of the media. First you bought the Spurs with a lot of money, named Chinese players, and then Liverpool made it to the finals, preparing to win the Triple Crown honor. Even we came to have dinner with you. It��s like meeting a big star.��


    "Would you like an autograph?" An Feng said.


    Everyone laughed, chatted lively, ordered dishes to the table, and chatted while eating. An Feng and a few friends have not seen each other for a while. After graduation, the work is too far away, and there are many topics to meet. It took some time for dinner, and after I came out, I took a taxi to the San Siro Stadium.


    The venue for the final is Milan, but unfortunately, neither Inter Milan nor AC Milan have the chance to play at home. They are against Germany and England. There is still half an hour before the game starts, but cars are already parked around the stadium, and fans come from all directions , race, nationality vary.


    As the top European football competition, the Champions League final naturally has this charm.


    They walked towards the entrance gate, Wang Le suddenly said: "Where''s the ticket?"


    Everyone looked at An Feng, he smiled and shrugged: "It''s definitely not on me."


    Joanna also shook her head: "No."


    "What are we watching without a ticket?" Wu Chao asked in surprise, "Listen to the sound around?"


    "Do you think I''m such an unreliable person?" An Feng smiled and looked around. Soon, the assistant Goodrich came with a child.


    "Hi!" An Feng greeted him, "Is this your child?"


    "Yes, his name is John, and he is here to watch the game specially tonight." Goodrich is dressed in festive red this time, wearing a Liverpool-themed scarf. His son is about eight or nine years old, and he is holding the Liverpool team flag in his hand. An Feng said hello: "Hi, sir! Win tonight!"


    "Yeah, win tonight!" An Feng agreed with him on the popular slogan these days.


    "Let''s go, tickets are here!" An Feng took a large stack of stadium tickets from Goodrich. There were only sixteen of them, and Goodrich bought eighteen tickets, just in case. After everyone got their tickets, they began to check the tickets to enter the stadium. The stadium was almost full.


    After the San Siro stadium has been rebuilt, it can accommodate more than 80,000 people to watch the game. It is a five-star stadium in Milan. Only five-star stadiums can apply for the Champions League final. The "Bida Stadium" under construction in Liverpool is also a five-star stadium. , is expected to be available in August this year.


    The huge stadium gathered a large number of fans from Liverpool and Bayern Munich, and then there were other fans who temporarily decided to support their country, such as those who supported England, those who supported Germany... After finding their seats, the game has not yet started, but the atmosphere has been faintly burning.


    Some high-level figures in Liverpool are also near Anfeng. Since there are vacancies here, they even came to chat with the boss, and then simply sat down here, surrounded by a group of excited KOPs, with scarves and flags flying, and Joanna came to the scene Afterwards, the surrounding fans cheered.


    Judging from the current situation, every time Joanna comes to watch the game, Liverpool will win. The fans are naturally happy to see her. The luck of the team is here, and Liverpool has the upper hand tonight... The fans are very excited, some are already shouting slogans collectively, and there is joy everywhere.


    The game also kicked off in this strong atmosphere.


    Maybe Joanna will really bring good luck to the team. After the opening 20 minutes, Liverpool''s golden lineup piled up with pounds worked closely together, broke through the opponent''s defense line, passed the ball continuously, and a striker broke through to the edge of the penalty area , the first shot was saved, followed by a player with a header, the goalkeeper just got up, and the ball has already been shot into the goal! The audience stood up and cheered!


    An Feng also stood up and applauded warmly, nothing else, he asked Goodrich to buy a lottery ticket, betting on Liverpool to win, a single order of 10,000 euros, just for fun! The KOP around were even more excited, stood up and hugged each other to celebrate, and the team song "You will never walk alone" rang.


    The lineup that cost money was fierce. The rhythm of the game tonight was completely on their side. In the second half, they scored another goal, and finally ended with a 2-to-0 advantage. They won not only the Champions League, but also the top honor of the Triple Crown!


    "We won!" An Feng picked up Joanna and kissed her. The live camera happened to pass by the team owner and stayed for a few seconds. An Feng shook his fist at the camera to express his excitement. Win the game, win the money, Liverpool is worth more!


    According to post-match statistics, the honor of the Triple Crown has increased the value of Liverpool a lot. At the beginning, An Feng spent 420 million to buy Liverpool. Today, the value assessed by the media has reached 720 million pounds, second only to Manchester United and Arsenal. England''s female boss It is indispensable.


    After the game is the awards ceremony. Liverpool fans, players, coaches, and executives are all immersed in joy, while the opponent fans leave disappointed, and those who stay are watching the stadium unwillingly. When the camera is filmed, they Kissed the team logo on the jersey.


    But people''s eyes are always on the winner.


    The Liverpool players came to the stage to accept the medals, and the head coach also received the honor. He followed the captain to stand on a high place holding the cup with big ears, kissing and shaking with both hands... The celebrating team came to the field again, running around with the trophy , Constantly taking pictures and showing off.


    Joanna and the team executives congratulated each other and invited her back to Liverpool tonight to celebrate.


    But she politely declined, this is a feast for fans, fans from all over the world will gather in Liverpool, it is very chaotic and crazy, and she has other celebrations, so she cannot attend. The other party also understands that the celebration is mostly focused on the coaches and players who are closely related to the team, and the boss is not the focus.


    After the game, An Feng invited his friends, as well as the die-hard Liverpool fans he had just met, to a nearby nightclub to celebrate. Liverpool won tonight, the boss is in for a treat! Hundreds of people set off in a mighty way and poured into the nightclub. The fans and the boss celebrated the victory together.

    How powerful the triple crown is, An Feng has a deep understanding in the nightclub. He brought hundreds of fans, and countless red troops poured into the nightclub. Many of them are from England. There is no time to buy a ticket to go back. Celebrating Liverpool''s title win, singing all night long.


    The same goes for An Feng��s friends who have fan blood. Foreigners are very good at playing, and they also have a good time. Regardless of nationality or race, at this kind of celebration moment, everyone hugs and drinks together to celebrate. Especially here is the best boss that Liverpool has encountered since the new century, which is recognized by fans.


    Without her burning money, there would be no team with a new lineup, let alone the brilliance tonight.


    "For the Dame England!" An England fan stood on the bar, raising his glass to Joanna who was sitting on the sofa next to him.


    The fans raised their glasses and turned their faces to her.


    Joanna picked up the wine glass on the table and raised it too.


    "For Liverpool!" This person continued to shout, and took a big gulp of beer. Others cheered and continued to sing the team song. After listening to too much, even Joanna could hum that rhythm... If it wasn''t for the nightclub not allowing cameras to come in and shoot , Joanna must be the focus of the group photo tonight.


    In the evening, there were local journalists who heard the news, and a very excited fan shouted to the camera: "Although we didn''t have time to go back to Liverpool to participate in the parade, here is Liverpool, no, there is England''s Lady Luck! We are supreme Glory! Long live Joanna!"


    "Long live Liverpool!"


    A group of half-drunk fans in the back danced wildly, shouting "Long-Live".


    ��


    The city of Liverpool in England is even more crazy. Liverpool (including the metropolitan area) has only 1.5 million people, and half of them are Everton fans, but the population exceeded 2.5 million that night. When the red open-top bus When it arrived, the fans who had been waiting for a long time were boiling.


    When An Feng watched the news the next day, he was glad that he made the right decision not to go to Liverpool last night. Imagine the grand occasion of going out for a trip on the National Day of China. This scene also happened in England: fans surrounded the streets with water, and children Hair was dyed red and people even dressed their dogs in Liverpool colors. Fans celebrated by climbing onto the glass roofs of traffic lights, street lamps and train stations.


    The British Prime Minister also sent congratulatory text messages to the team''s top management, and even the Queen of England sent praises, saying that "such an achievement will be remembered by the entire Liverpool and the country." Of course, the all-night celebration also caused half of the people to skip work and be late the next day, and the whole city went crazy.


    The coach who was interviewed was very humble: "My personal contribution is insignificant. The honor of the Triple Crown belongs to the players and Mrs. Ann who created the environment for us!" From his words, he affirmed Joanna''s contribution, including The opinions of the fans are unanimous.


    ��


    Brilliant end, Liverpool players have had an easy summer.


    An Feng was also in a good mood. In August, Alice was a little over six months old, and her body was developing very well. She could sit alone at five months and crawl to find her father at six months. Mom, there are still vague babblings in her mouth, she looks very smart.


    On a sunny day, An Feng was lying on the lawn, with his hands on his head and looking at the blue sky. The child competed with a few-month-old puppy on the ground to see who could crawl the fastest. This was the child of Pipi and Dandan. The same goes for the other three black and golden retrievers, their chubby looks are as cute as Alice.


    The puppy ran away, and Alice couldn''t find anything to play with, so she turned to her father. She crawled to his side, and climbed on top of him, An Feng stretched out a hand to support her back. The child''s mother was leaning on a reclining chair, wearing sunglasses and a cool suspender dress, flipping through a magazine.


    "Be careful!" An Feng helped Alice to his chest. The little girl sat still, stretched out her little hand to pinch her father''s face, scratched the stubble of his chin, and let out a childlike laugh. An Feng grabbed her hand with a smile: "Don''t pinch Dad''s face, come on, give me a kiss!"


    Alice''s head and body were shaking, An Feng said: "You are not good!"


    The little girl smiled, unlike a few months ago when she always cried a lot, now she has a big change in personality, she likes to laugh, is lively and outgoing, and saves the couple a lot of thought. An Feng praised Joanna for giving birth to a pair of children, and even Christie Na is also envious, her little William is still crying after one year old.


    Alice played with him for a while, lowered her head and looked around, trying to bite An Feng''s bulging chest muscles.


    "Oh, no! I''m your father!" An Feng picked her up with both hands and put her aside, "Look for your mother while breastfeeding, don''t admit your mistake in the future!"


    Alice crawled up to her mother and tugged at the hem of her skirt.


    "Didn''t you just eat, dear?" Joanna put down the magazine and hugged her to her lap, the shoulder straps of the long skirt slipped, and Alice crawled in front of her instinctively.


    An Feng looked sideways, this scene was full of maternal glory.


    Just thinking about it, the phone rang.


    An Feng picked up the phone and said casually, "Hey, is Xiao Lezi doing anything?"


    "Brother Le!" Wang Le repeated at least a thousand times, "And I''m here as your guest this time, do you have time?"


    "I happen to be at home." An Feng said.


    "I''ll be there in five minutes." Wang Le hung up the phone.


    An Feng got up: "There are guests at home, I''ll come back as soon as I go." After speaking, he leaned over and kissed Joanna''s forehead, and touched the child''s face.


    A few minutes later, Wang Le''s bright red Cayenne drove in.


    Get off the bus, except for Wang Le and his wife, I haven��t seen him for a while, but he is still very trendy, but he finally feels that he fits the background of the bear child Wang Keke.


    "Hi!" Wang Keke greeted coolly.


    "I don''t know how to greet young people." An Feng smiled and turned sideways, "Everyone please!"


    Wang Le said as he walked, "Ke Ke, I''m going to study in New York this year. I''ll come here to visit you. By the way, I''m going to die."


    "You can eat indiscriminately, but don''t talk nonsense!" Wang Keke reminded later.


    "You know that the bear child admires you very much. If you hadn''t been married and your wife was more outstanding, she would have chased you." Wang Le said with a smile.


    An Feng Khan is one, the bear child must be a typical lack of fatherly love and lack of admiration.


    "What are you looking at?" Wang Keke gave him a blank look.


    An Feng smiled and asked, "Are you going to be in the living room or the backyard?"


    "Where''s Joanna?" Lisa asked carefully.


    "She and her child are relaxing on the lawn." An Feng said, "How about we go too?"


    "That''s right, I just have something to talk to you about." Wang Le said, turning his head to look at Xiongzi: "Ke Ke, what about you?"


    "Follow you, the Baroque art here is blinding me!" Wang Keke was still blunt, but with a background in art, his vision is quite ruthless. Although there are many differences between architectural art and clothing art, he can still tell There are a lot of things An Feng doesn''t understand.


    Riding a battery car to the vicinity of the artificial lake, Joanna was sitting on a slightly sloping slope, surrounded by fresh flowers and green grass, with children playing beside her. When An Feng passed by, she stood up, Wang Le introduced Wang Keke, and then they got to know each other.


    "Nice to meet you, ma''am." Wang Keke is serious, and her English is good. I heard that she lived abroad for a while.


    "Me too." Joanna looked at her with a gentle smile, "You make me feel very similar to a friend who likes to follow trends."


    "Oh? Let me introduce you if you have time." Wang Keke said.


    "Her Chinese name is Lin Xiaofei, Mr. Lin''s child, and Jim and Lisa also know each other." Joanna said, "Everyone, please sit down as you please."


    "I almost forgot about this, but the two girls have similar personalities." Wang Le sat on the ground, "When we return to San Francisco in the evening, Ke Ke, I will take you to make new friends."


    "Cool." She also sat down beside her, looked at Joanna, then at the child crawling on the ground, and focused on the magazine in Joanna''s hand.


    Joanna found her eyes: "Do you want to see?"


    "I often watch it." Wang Keke said, "I study fashion art."


    "Then I can definitely ask you a lot of things?" Joanna smiled, pulled Wang Keke over in a few words, and discussed together.


    "Awesome!" Wang Le said, "Just like you, I surrendered the bear boy."


    "Haha, pay attention to skills." An Feng said modestly, but on his face was a proud expression of "I''m good enough, and my wife is good enough".


    "Okay, I know you are very good." Wang Le looked through him, "I came here this time to discuss the pregnancy with you."


    "Is there any movement from your wife?" An Feng looked at her.


    Wang Le nodded: "Of course, I said not to lag behind, but now I have finally caught up, but Xiangyang''s children are almost able to play soy sauce..."


    "Who made you lazy." An Feng smiled, "If you don''t understand anything, just ask. As a senior, I will help you. If you don''t mind, I will be the godfather of the child."


    "Don''t be such a gangster, okay?" Wang Le said.


    "Being a godfather to a child is a sacred thing. If you believe in religion, I will preside over the baptism of your child at that time!" An Feng said, "According to the Sicilians, the second father of a child is commonly known as a godfather in China. If anything happens in the future, I will cover it!"


    An Feng also learned from Matthew. Joanna believed in religion. Although she didn''t force Alice''s beliefs, Matthew baptized the child. An Feng watched the baptism on the spot. It feels like... the child has an extra father since then, and it is more than that. Domestic vulgar godfathers are much more sacred.


    "I have no problem, to find a godfather, no, to find a godfather, you have to find a good one, just like in the movie." Wang Le said.


    "It''s not a gangster anymore." An Feng was speechless, "Besides, my brother is more than a little bit stronger than a gangster. Your baby will put me on the table, and I will have more face!"


    Wang Le nodded after seeking Lisa''s opinion: "That''s the deal! But today we are discussing something else, that is, two or three things during pregnancy."


    "Be serious." Lisa was dissatisfied, "Just make some preparations in advance. You have just experienced it, and many aspects must still be fresh in your memory."


    "Well, there are many details that need to be paid attention to..." An Feng was also very verbose.

 Chapter 393： Liang Sao

    Chapter 393 Liang Sao


    An Feng didn''t worry about anything when things were over. He talked blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. An Feng snickered in his heart, and let you all experience brother''s bitterness back then.


    The time passed quickly during the chat, and Joanna saw that it was getting late, so she asked them to stay: "You are leaving now, at least you will get home at night, and you may not have dinner, stay for the next day Let''s go, we still have a lot of empty rooms here."


    Everyone is an old friend, and you are not polite.


    After the meal, they also discussed things to do for fun. When they got interested, they decided to go north together the next day, bringing their family, children and pets, and called Lin Hai and his daughter from San Francisco. His flagship yacht, the Baroness Joanna.


    They prepared fruits, desserts and meat, and greeted a few men to carry things onto the boat together, and everyone who changed into swimsuits boarded the boat one after another. The Baroness was 38 meters long, and it took a lot of work to move it out. Fortunately, both An Feng and Wang Le had a yacht driver''s license, and the two cooperated together, and the U-turn went smoothly.


    Riva''s top 122-foot flagship is worthy of being the "Rolls-Royce" of yachts in terms of appearance and interior. There are also many people playing in the Bay Area on Sunday morning. A sense of pride arises spontaneously when you compare the small boats.


    Wang Le increased the horsepower to make the boat roar, An Feng looked at the waves flying up next to him: "Are you trying to drown all motorboats?"


    "Don''t you feel great?" Wang Le said loudly, "I saw someone drive this kind of big guy last time, not as big as you, but it''s so arrogant, it flew by, and a row of motorboats were all wet. , followed by a lot of classic national curses like ''motherfxxk''."


    "You''re trying to trap me in injustice!" An Feng slowed down a bit, "You drive so fast, your wife will get seasick later, and I''ll make you kneel on the keyboard at night!"


    "Damn!" Wang Le turned black.


    An Feng drove the boat to the inner bay and stopped. He didn''t go too far, and went to sea again in the afternoon.


    Maybe because of the same age, Lin Xiaofei and Wang Keke are already familiar with each other now. After obtaining Joanna''s consent, Lin Xiaofei took Wang Keke out, saying that she was going to drive a motorboat. In view of the precedent lessons, An Feng reminded: "Be careful, don''t fall into the water like last time."


    "Absolutely not." Lin Xiaofei smiled and ran away, and soon heard the sound of the motorboat starting, followed by the cheers of the two girls.


    "It''s a child''s heart after all." An Feng sat down, don''t look at Wang Keke''s coolness, but he is still young, and he gets carried away when he encounters something funny.


    "I''ll make some snacks, you guys continue." Joanna stood up and said, handing the child to An Feng, "If you''re tired, put it in the baby chair."


    "I know." An Feng nodded.


    "Let me help you make some fruit salad." Lisa also followed.


    Xiaoyu hugged Xiao Hei''s neck and asked, "Uncle, can I take him swimming?"


    "Mom, look at it, it really wants to swim." Xiaoyu turned Xiao Hei''s head to her mother again, Xiao Hei was so stupid that he didn''t know that it was being used.


    "You want it to do this, right?" An Feng saw through her.


    "Uncle..." She dragged her voice and begged with her eyes wide open.


    "I''ll go with you." said the mother bear child.


    Xiong Zi went out with two cats, one big and one small, and Lin Hai and his wife came to the upper deck to have a shower and look at the children driving motorboats around. Only the men An Feng was left in the living room. After a bottle of beer, I moved to the open-air leisure area at the stern.


    Wang Le leaned on the sofa, with his feet on the coffee table: "This is called a holiday!"


    An Feng held Alice in his arms, she reached out to grab Dad''s beer bottle, An Feng took it high: "You are not allowed to touch this if you are under the age of eighteen!"


    "Be careful of her crying later." The brother-in-law said with experience.


    "Is it okay for you to touch it?" An Feng turned the wine bottle to her, Alice reached out to touch it, and laughed, maybe the coolness made her feel comfortable.


    "It really works." An Feng smiled, "By the way, brother-in-law, your brat''s going to school, do you really plan to stay in China?"


    The brother-in-law nodded: "I have actually seen a lot of middle schools in the United States, especially at the stage of junior high school. I feel that I am still too young, I will be very lonely, and the atmosphere is different. It is too free here, and Americans are poor at this stage. Come back after finishing junior high school."


    "After completing the mathematics ability of junior high school, you can abuse American high school students by reading more books." Wang Leshen said with experience, "My dad has a friend who also sent him to high school. When it comes to knowledge assessment, Americans are really weak. , but other aspects of Chinese students are not strong."


    Brother-in-law said: "I just want to make it easier for the child in the future. The work in China will not be over for the time being. Let her choose a middle school with a better environment."


    An Feng said: "Those businesses should be terminated as soon as possible. The winery I left you to take care of is worth over 100 million yuan."


    Wang Le said: "Leave him alone, the business he talks about is tens of billions. In his eyes, our work is all a waste of time."


    Brother-in-law nodded deeply.


    An Feng said: "However, it''s up to you to make the decision, so you don''t have to get a green card to come here. Don''t worry about it, don''t worry about it."


    ��


    After staying enough in the Bay Area, continue to drive the yacht, and the waves splash across the Golden Gate Bridge and head to the Pacific Ocean. As far as sea water is concerned, places far away from the city are cleaner, but you can''t go too far. There are sharks in this sea area of ??the United States, so the distance must be grasped.


    The weather in the afternoon was very good, the sky was clear, and there were often sailboats and yachts around. The choice of location was good. An Feng stopped the boat, and Joanna gently put the sleeping Alice into the stroller. The child was very happy. To save face for my mother, I didn''t wake up and cry.


    The two tigers are tired from swimming, and now they are basking in the sun on the top deck.


    Xiaoyu was also tired, so she changed her clothes and went back to the cabin on the bottom floor to sleep in the afternoon. After all the furry children rested, the adults finally relaxed and lay down in the sun to bask in the sun. The front deck of the yacht is spacious enough for seven or eight people to lie down and rest, and the afternoon light is also suitable.


    Lin Xiaofei and Wang Keke each wore a pair of sunglasses, leaning on the sofa and flipping through magazines, chatting and discussing.


    Gao Jie looked at them and said, "Is there anything you can talk about all afternoon? Share it?"


    Lin Xiaofei raised her head and said, "Ke Ke is amazing, she already has works!"


    "Oh?" An Feng looked up at Wang Keke, and indeed heard that she was quite talented.


    She said flatly: "A creative and independent portfolio can increase the probability of admission, and other test scores are not important."


    Lin Xiaofei was very enthusiastic to help her publicize: "This is not easy, the world''s four major design schools, if you don''t have some skills, you won''t be favored."


    An Feng said: "If you design independently after graduation, how about I invest in you?"


    "First come, first come first, why are you in a hurry?" Wang Le got up, "After Ke Ke graduated, I will definitely support her. The students from Parsons, especially the fashion design, are the most sought-after. Sophomores and juniors will be rejected. Big companies are eyeing it, and it can be called a hot commodity in the fashion industry.��


    "I believe Keke chooses the eyes of investors." An Feng said with a smile.


    "I''m her cousin." Wang Le said.


    "I have money." An Feng said.


    "I said, can you stop worrying about this? Keke is only preparing to enter school now, and there will be some time in the future." Lisa said.


    "Look, this is the limitation of women." Wang Le said quickly.


    "What did you say?" Lisa stared at him, her eyes full of threats from Chiguoguo, when Wang Le touched it, it was like being caught in a mousetrap.


    An Feng gloated and said, "I also believe this is someone''s flaw."


    Joanna took La Anfeng''s hand and was giggling.


    Wang Keke turned to Lin Xiaofei and said, "This is a typical symptom of a strict wife."


    "Hahaha!"


    Everyone couldn''t hold back their laughter, Wang Le was speechless, he learned the essence of Xiao Hei, buried his head on the cushion, and said silently that you can''t see me... The lively atmosphere lasted until they returned at night, everyone still Get together for a BBQ party.


    ��


    Return to Santa Barbara in a few days.


    An Feng still has one thing on his mind: he is going to show off at the auto show. Late August is the usual day of Pebble Beach Auto Show every year. As a frequent visitor to private exhibitions, he gave the theme of Maserati this year, presenting Maserati MC12, Esplosione and customized BA1050 in his hands.


    The first two models are officially released by Maserati and are available for pre-order. The last one comes from Esplosione. At least the chassis is made of it. Other changes have been made. The first is the name. BA is the English name of An Feng. Shorthand, and 1050 stands for horsepower.


    Compared with the 1020 horsepower of the basic version, the BA1050 has an increase of 30 horsepower, which seems not high, but the family car is generally around 120 horsepower. If there are more than three or five horses, the sound is different. The body part uses conceptual graphene, which weighs only 1010 kg, but is stronger than carbon fiber.


    Currently, there is only one person in the world who can use graphene to play like this.


    Respect the style of MC12, the body color is blue and white, with white on the top and blue on the bottom, charcoal black wheels, the front face is very aggressive, the door still adopts the butterfly door opening method, the rear hood is transparent, and the adjustable spoiler is hidden The rear wing and the diffuser below are even more hideous.


    An Feng personally drove it out of the racing track, aiming at Monterey.


    The car is quite special, and it took a little effort to hang the rear license plate on the road. In most parts of the United States, the laws on modified cars are very loose, and this is an official modification. Maserati personally tested it and sent it for inspection. It is not an unreliable private modification. So An Feng was able to drive it on the road.


    In terms of performance, it accelerates from 100 kilometers to 2.4 seconds, and its top speed is only 380 kilometers per hour. From the perspective of racing, the design team focuses more on the explosion in the middle and front stages, so it only takes 5.3 seconds to accelerate from standstill to 200 kilometers. It''s a race car in a road-legal guise.


    On the way to Monterey, An Feng''s car became the focus of the road.


    On the way he drove in, there were also spotlights. After parking the car in the open-air exhibition area, the BA1050 immediately became the most watched model in the audience, bar none. Whether it is the crazy shape or its rarity, it is unique. Knowledgeable car fans are already excited.


    It overwhelms the limelight of the two flagships next to it. The first thing everyone comes here is to look up at this sacred car and give a few photos, and then it is the turn of the two guys next to them who really want to show off but are always buried... An Feng Standing by and looking at it, I got enough admiration from the car.


    Soon, this place became the hardest-hit area for onlookers.


    The world''s only customized model, with super powerful performance, concentrated all the high-tech that can be found at present. When they are integrated into one body, there is nothing that car fans do not envy, and there is nothing they don''t want. It''s a pity that there is only this one, and the only one can only envy and hate.


    Duke, who came to participate in the exhibition, also looked at the sports car surrounded by the crowd: "It''s really cool."


    An Feng said: "There is no downside inside."


    "Amazing!" Duke looked at the listed data, "How much did it cost?"


    "Nine million dollars, including research and development." An Feng said, this is because of the use of the Esplosione chassis, if it is to develop a new model, it is a sky-high price.


    Duke looked at this cool car: "9 million for a unique sports car in the world, how dare you play!"


    "When you are obsessed, you will ignore numbers like a collection." An Feng said with a smile, "Let''s go buddy, let''s go drink and talk about something."


    Came to a nearby bar, ordered a margarita, sat down and talked.


    Knowing that he cares about the team, Duke said straight to the point: "The performance of the GP team is impeccable. The next stop is S City in China. Currently, John ranks first in the standings. It should be easy to win this year''s championship. And you recommend A talented driver, we also put him on the field."


    "How is it?" An Feng asked.


    "Zhou''s points are currently ranked tenth. For a rookie who has just come into contact with the top touring car competitions, this is already a very good result. Zhou''s progress is obvious. He won the seventeenth place in the first race, and the most recent race He has been able to rank ninth in the game."


    Duke is very satisfied with Zhou Hang''s performance, but there are also some flaws: "His English is not good enough, his communication skills are not strong, and the team is difficult to adjust according to his needs. In addition, the body needs to be practiced more. In one game, he suffered from excessive dehydration. The situation affects the state a lot.��


    "He''s still a rookie and very young, it would be better if he was given some time." An Feng said.


    "It''s the same, but John will go to FE next year. We have to cultivate our own main drivers to keep the fans enthusiastic about the team."


    An Feng asked: "Have the rules of the equation been changed?"


    Duke nodded: "The team has reached a consensus with the FIA. The FIA ??will allow cars with stronger horsepower to appear. Using the model of installing a separate motor for each tire, the horsepower of the car will be close to 1,000, and the mass will be heavier than F1, but the overall performance If not, FE may be stronger."


    "Four electric motors? Looking forward to it!" An Feng had an idea earlier, but it was a pity that it was not suitable for a civilian sports car.


    Duke said: "The engine may be provided by Maserati, the battery must be GP Energy, and other aspects are provided by other professional manufacturers. I heard that the choice of electric motor is because of Maserati''s new flagship. Even Ferrari admits that in electric motor technology, Maserati is ahead."


    Anfeng intends to introduce other new technologies, such as providing graphene car bodies to reduce weight and improve safety factors. Although such applications are expensive, the formula also costs money. There is no contradiction between the two, so as not to worry the FIA ??all day Be safe, reduce the horsepower of the car when you are worried.

 Chapter 394： He Shou

    Chapter 394 Happy Birthday


    Facts have proved that Anfeng��s show was very successful. Although the Pebble Beach Auto Show is not a strict auto show like Frankfurt or Paris, there are many people and media who pay attention to it. The only Ferrari P4/5 in the world used to be at Pebble Beach. The same is true for Anfeng''s supercars.


    Its shape and performance are enough to capture the hearts of car fans. Seeing the discussions on the Internet, it greatly satisfies An Feng''s vanity as a **** car fan. From a higher perspective, it is also equivalent to improving and changing the impression of Maserati through continuous exposure.


    Maserati has been operating independently in June this year. They may establish an automobile group, acquire automobile brands, and improve the product structure of high, medium and low-end. Now these exposures are to create an image that they also have powerful technology and can provide unique customized services.


    ��


    After some time after the auto show, September came.


    Xiongzi and his family have returned to China, and other friends have their own affairs. Anfeng''s place has become clean. But with children, there is still a lot of fun. Part of An Feng''s focus now is to record Alice''s growth, the first time she turned over, the first time she crawled, and the first time she stood up...


    One day Matthew came to visit.


    He took his wife, children and pets with him. When the tiger "Diego" got out of the car, he followed the scent to find his good partner, Xiao Hei, and their common opponent, Xiao Bai... Matthew looked at Diego who quickly disappeared in front of him, "It feels like it''s behaving like a hound," laughing.


    "Almighty." An Feng said, and greeted William: "Hi, little William!"


    "Hi." William shook his hand.


    "What else?" Matthew reminded him.


    William thought for a while, then realized: "Uncle Bruce."


    "What a smart kid!" An Feng said with a smile, "Come on, let''s talk inside."


    Joanna and her child were also in the living room. There was a soap opera projected on the wall. The child��s mother liked to watch these when she was bored. When Christina came in, she sat down quickly after seeing the content: ��I haven��t watched this episode yet. , how about the previous story?"


    Joanna explained the previous episode to her while watching.


    An Feng shrugged at Matthew: "Let''s leave space for them."


    "Agreed." Matthew nodded.


    They came to the well-built garden outside the house and sat down on the bench. Matthew took out the cigar box from his body and turned his head to ask.


    An Feng said: "Whatever you want, there are no children here."


    Smoking cigars is a very time-consuming thing, and usually you have to have an hour to spare. Matthew used the cigar cutter slowly, and there was no pine bar to light the fire. It was just a lighter with no oily smell. He said: "Ten The month is my mother''s birthday, and she invited you."


    "I will go, and I haven''t seen her for a long time."


    "She has been living in the UK recently and rarely comes back. This time she invited us to go there."


    An Feng suddenly had a question: "How old is she?"


    "Eighty years old."


    An Feng understood: "It is indeed memorable. But the last time I saw her, I still felt that she was seventy years old."


    "Thanks to you for helping her get rid of her illness, and the bio drink." Matthew said, "It makes us all younger, and it feels like the years are flowing backwards."


    An Feng said with a smile: "Isn''t this better? There are so many wonderful things in life."


    "It''s just a strange feeling. When I get along with Bazel, I don''t think he is like a person who is about to be sixty. The high spirits of the past seem to have returned."


    "We''ll all be a lot easier that way."


    Matthew nodded: "That''s a good thing��except for having to endure his bad temper."


    An Feng smiled: "It''s breaking the news."

    In early October, they came to London.


    An Feng also brought the child and the nanny, because they might stay for a few days. In addition to attending Mrs. Sinclair''s birthday banquet, he had to be invited to watch the new season''s football game. This time is of special significance to Liverpool, because Anfield Stadium has become a History, they are going to fight at the Bida Stadium.


    After living in London for a day, the convoy set off.


    The sixth round of the Premier League this year has kicked off. Liverpool played against Chelsea at home. Two money-burning teams collided head-on. Today''s Liverpool is the last Triple Crown champion and is in good condition. Chelsea''s lineup has also been strengthened by the cheap boss Abramovich.


    The attention of the game is very high. It may not have been so strong in the past, but since Liverpool won the championship, fans have not stopped discussing the two teams. They have a lot of similarity-money. Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was once the richest man in Britain, and is currently in the top five. Joanna, a native Englishman, is known as the richest woman in Britain, and her joint assets with her husband are conservatively estimated at 15 billion US dollars.


    Then he was willing to spend money. Abramovich''s actions after taking over Chelsea let people see how football burns money. The current dame also showed them that money can really solve everything. Life again, Abramovich is indeed extravagant, yachts and planes keep coming, Joanna is not weak at all, the world''s largest cruise ship, supersonic plane, and the world''s largest private island, etc.


    So to a certain extent, the game is also given the meaning of financial strength.


    An Feng arrived on Saturday and stayed at a local hotel. Accompanied by bodyguards the next afternoon, he drove to the location of the new stadium. It was not too far from the original stadium. Regular design, blending edges and lines.


    The stadium is named "Bida", which is obviously a beverage advertisement, which also leads to a high-tech background-so the outer wall of the stadium adopts liquid crystal display technology, which can display images, and it can take turns to advertise during the game, especially at night. The lights are particularly dazzling.


    The appearance is also good. Although An Feng can''t see much art, it is true that it is better than the old stadium. The psychology of liking the new and loathing the old plays a key role. As a five-star stadium in England, when you walk into the interior, it is indeed worthy of the description of "luxury". There is also a box area.


    According to the introduction, the box is usually a food and beverage store, and it is closed when there is a game. It is a very good business experience to provide it to fans as a box. There, you can see the fiery red auditorium and the huge English "LFC" made of white seats, which is said to be very spectacular.


    It''s just that there are too many people now, and the effect cannot be seen.


    "The stadium has a total of 72,000 seats, a maximum capacity of 80,000 people, and 15 elevators..."


    The staff''s commentary could not be heard clearly at the end, because the moment they walked out of the VIP channel, the surrounding fans cheered, all chanting for Joanna, she is now known as the lucky **** of the team, and she was present Watching the game, Liverpool will win, and the fans are looking forward to it.


    An Feng looked at the standing and watching fans around him. He was really worried that Liverpool would lose the game. It should be a time when good wishes are shattered...but she still represents good luck at the moment. From the passage to the corridor, the KOP cheered loudly until she came to the auditorium and sat down.


    "It feels like you are paid more than a football star." An Feng sat down beside her.


    Although there are boxes, but the boxes are far away from the stadium, and you can��t feel the atmosphere if you are separated. The central location is the golden place to watch football, and An Feng naturally chooses this place. The bodyguards sat down next to each other one by one, and the senior team members also appeared one by one, sitting around them.


    "The tickets for the stadium are sold out." Ai Wen turned his head to An Feng and said loudly.


    An Feng glanced at the auditorium that circled the stadium. This effect is indeed many times stronger than that of Anfield Stadium, and more tickets are sold, which will bring more revenue. The team''s income is not only advertising sponsorship and The broadcast share and tickets are also an important part.


    The triple crown plus the charm of the new stadium has attracted the support of the fans. This time the commercial marketing has been more successful... The game also started with anticipation. Liverpool��s state of winning the championship last time has not been lost. Although there were goals in this game, But in the end the Red Army won.


    They left the stadium amidst the shouts of the fans, and then visited the underground area of ??the stadium. In addition to the parking lot, the connotation of a stadium is also concentrated here, including the locker room and meeting room to the office, which can be opened when there is no game For fans to visit.


    An Feng also noticed that from the moment he walked in, there were commemorative coins, commemorative shirts and peripheral items related to the players on sale at the entrance. The commercialization was in place, but he learned the essence of Barcelona. Until he empties his wallet and walks out of the stadium.


    Correspondingly, the conditions and equipment here have also improved. Since it is a five-star stadium, no detail can be ignored. After a tour and inspection, the effect was satisfactory, and the players celebrating the victory in the locker room were also very enthusiastic, spraying champagne everywhere.


    Until now, the team has been completely refreshed.


    ��


    A few days later, I went to the Midlands of England to celebrate the old lady''s birthday.


    The elderly like to be quiet, so they live in Leicestershire, England, which is closer to Birmingham. She bought a large local house and land. Although it cannot be compared with the mansion in Texas, she is more used to it here, maybe it is a kind of feeling of returning to the roots.


    After the convoy arrived, the old lady still insisted on coming to greet her in person.


    The car door was opened, An Feng got out of the car and walked towards the old lady, and shook hands with her with a smile: "Mrs. Sinclair, long time no see, nice to meet you!"


    "Me too, child." The old lady said enthusiastically. Although she was on crutches, her complexion was much better than when they first met.


    "Is this your child?" The old lady found the child who was carried out of the car by Joanna.


    "Yes." An Feng nodded, Joanna stepped forward to say hello to her, the old lady smiled and looked at the child: "What a beautiful girl!"


    "Thank you, ma''am." Joanna said happily.


    "Come in quickly, the weather outside is too bad, pay attention to the children." The old lady omitted the etiquette behind, just because there were some dark clouds over her head.


    This detail is very intimate.


    Although the house is not as good as before, her place is quite big, with a spacious front and back yard, and one of the nine guest rooms is specially reserved for An Feng and his wife. It may be because it is inconvenient for them to bring their children, or it may be that their status is sufficient. for the sake. An Feng was not polite, so he just stayed here.


    I feel that the old lady likes young things very much. There are two children at home. She cares about Alice and William. Before her birthday, she gave gifts to the children first. William, who can talk, thanked her sweetly. Alice, who couldn''t speak yet, shook hands with her.


    The old lady''s 80th birthday was not a high-profile one, but there were quite a few people who came on her birthday. From the parking lot to the roadside outside, there were many luxury cars, among which Rolls Royce was the most numerous. Whether it is British or American, the love for this brand is very strong.


    There were many heavyweight guests, and An Feng knew most of them because they were also partners in the consortium. The rest were natives of England with extraordinary backgrounds, and they were all nobles with titles. They also came to congratulate the old lady on her birthday. Due to too many guests, some relatives still went out to live in the hotel.


    Compared with this, An Feng''s treatment is virtually higher.

 Chapter 395： true face

    Chapter 395 True Face


    After attending the birthday banquet, they left the next day due to other arrangements.


    Traveling back to London, An Feng and Joanna attended the foundation meeting in the spare time in the afternoon. With the filling of funds, the foundation can accumulate more funds for charity, and because of its rule of not soliciting donations from the society, the nature of foundation charity is purer.


    Of course, it is impossible to ignore that there are also preferential tax policies here, but at least the donation is a good deed. The Elizabeth Foundation is currently funding five medical research projects, two of which have achieved results. They contribute to society without seeking profit, and have won unanimous praise. His reputation is also rising.


    Conventionally, Joanna continued to donate.


    This time the amount reached a billion dollars. She plans to use the profits from this fund to invest in medical research, and perhaps they will cooperate with the famous biological research centers in the United States. One billion US dollars is used in reasonable investment, and the annual rate of return is also 10%, and the profit can enjoy tax exemption or low tax rate.


    Accumulated, the foundation currently has 2.2 billion US dollars in funds.


    Donating so much is mainly due to Joanna''s decision. An Feng has no objection. Anyway, the tax issue has been bothering him since he became rich. Besides, he has a child recently, the scope of activities has become smaller, and the behavior of burning money has decreased. Donations are also the most direct way to avoid taxes.


    Anyway, doing good deeds is better than handing over to the government... This is An Feng''s idea.


    Such a large-scale donation cannot be concealed by keeping a low profile, not to mention that the foundation did not intend to keep a low profile. They announced the news and expressed their gratitude to the Dame, followed by reports in the society. People admired Joanna''s charitable deeds , also lamented her ability to burn money.


    This allowed the fans to see the power of the proprietress. Burning money on the team can be regarded as a rational investment, but donating it for nothing is a kind of strength��the strength that is not short of money. Therefore, in the discussion of the Premier League bosses, Joanna''s popularity is undoubtedly the first.


    Abu who can burn money, the big local tycoon Mansour, and other rich people feel a bit dwarfed by her. When it comes to burning money in the future, I guess no one dares to confront the female boss of Liverpool. To throw a billion in one breath, it feels like dealing with waste paper.


    ��


    After staying for a few days, they returned to the United States.


    Anfeng is more concerned about his family now, but there are also some things that need to be taken care of, such as the Green Earth Plan that has been discussed frequently recently. The focus of everyone''s attention is on the Green Earth Company that proposed the plan. They have successfully made the environment of Dubai and Qatar improve.


    Although the modified environment is different from the natural growth, the earthy yellow places in the Middle East can add grass and trees, improve the environment, resist wind and sand, and have fresh water resources that can be used to the fullest. Compared with before, it is the difference between heaven and hell. The shock is self-evident.


    At present, Qatar has signed a large contract of 5 billion U.S. dollars with Green Earth Company, and is preparing to redecorate the surrounding area before the World Cup. Several surrounding Arab countries were not far behind, and seized the opportunity. The total contract value reached 20 billion, which is definitely a big deal.


    According to the company''s profitability, although it is not high, the net profit margin is also 10%, and one billion of the tens of billions of bills is pure profit. Compared with other industries, the company is also reaping wealth while contributing to the earth. A win-win situation makes them It has been well received and has become a positive image of society.


    After the word-of-mouth came out, the company got more long-term orders, both in Asia and America. The contracts are usually more than five years, and some involve more than ten years later. The amount is large, but the pressure is also great. This kind of business is not a one-off, and regular maintenance is required after the completion of the business, and the logistical work is also very heavy.


    An Feng participated in several meetings, but he usually lacks patience when it comes to talking about details. Later, he will let the professional managers recommended by the consortium handle it. His team is responsible for communication, and he only needs the final result. This method is the simplest, but it will affect the efficiency of some companies.


    ��


    In November, news came from Dezhou that Anfeng''s custom smart has been completed.


    He went there in person, and the R&D team also discussed the main issues with him. Song Wenrui said: "The basic equipment has been prepared, but it has not been officially launched. The smart memory area is still blank, and other senses and peripheral equipment have not yet been activated. It can be said to be brand new."


    "It is like a newborn child, and it will be affected by various acquired influences during its operation." Tian Hao also said, "Considering that it is your personal order, Mr. An, we cannot have any influence on it, only you to operate and guide it to build an understanding of the world."


    "Good job!" An Feng was very satisfied, "Enjoy your future vacation, pioneers of artificial intelligence!"


    Everyone applauds, An Feng''s words are the greatest affirmation of the results.


    Afterwards, An Feng gave them bonuses. First, they distributed the unused research funds. There were more than 30 people involved in the research and development, sharing 50 million US dollars in funds. The main characters, such as Song Wenrui, the team leader, received a bonus of more than 3 million. Other participants also have rewards ranging from one to two million.


    This group of people were the first to follow An Feng. Several of them joined the GP company before it was established. They belonged to the senior level. They are also rich, and the rewards are very generous.


    An Feng also held a small celebration party to reward everyone and mark the end of smart research and development. In the future, in a wider field, it may not pass through the hands of humans. Song Wenrui and others have made great contributions in this regard, and they have made GP company lead the world too much.


    After ?? finished, An Feng arranged for a plane to send the machine back.


    The volume of the unit is not small. The largest is the quantum computer, which has the weight of four or five refrigerators, but the core is not large. The main reason is that it needs a low temperature environment, which is equivalent to maintaining a large refrigerator at minus 15 degrees Celsius, and the volume is required. In addition, there are bionic computers, sensory systems, and input and output devices... With the help of professionals from GP, they are installed in the basement of Anfeng''s mansion.


    After the installation is complete, An Feng, who entered the technical house mode, started debugging.


    First of all, it is testing equipment, which is not a big problem, and then it is a trial run, and the result is OK... Finally, he faced some unimportant, but very meaningful problems.


    "What do you think it should be called?" An Feng asked Joanna who was beside him. His name was just like that, Xiao Hei Xiao Bai, Er Tiao Fa Cai...


    Joanna rested her chin and thought: "Since it is the beginning of intelligence, we have to use related vocabulary... Eve, what do you think?"


    "Human mother?" An Feng thought for a while, "That''s right, why didn''t I think of it!"


    "You are stupid!" Joanna nodded his head with her finger.


    An Feng smiled: "The next item, what about the sound output? I don''t want to use the original electronic synthesis."


    "Then you have to find a voice actor, usually a female voice." Joanna said.


    "Whose voice is the best..." An Feng thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "What do you think of Angela on the phone?"


    "Her? Very good!" Joanna nodded.


    "It''s her." An Feng said that since his first phone assistant retired, Angela with a beautiful voice has always played an important role. Talk to the woman you met, ask for her advice and help.


    An Feng picked up his phone and dialed a number: "Hi, Angela!"


    "Hi, Mr. An, great to hear your voice again." Angela''s voice was still a little playful, and it sounded soft and relaxing.


    "Me too." An Feng said with a smile, "There is one thing I want to discuss with you."


    "Go ahead, sir."


    "I like your voice." An Feng said.


    "Thank you." She said softly.


    "So, I plan to ask you to come and record some voices for me, specifically..." An Feng said something, "Are you interested?"


    Thinking for a few seconds over there, a voice came: "Okay, sir."


    "Well, look forward to our meeting." An Feng said.


    After seeing him hang up the phone, Joanna asked a question they had discussed a long time ago: "What do you think Angela looks like?"


    "I can''t guess." An Feng shook his head, "Anyway, her real person is about to appear."


    ��


    The agreed time was two days later, and Angela arrived in Santa Barbara on time.


    She drives a red BMW coupe, which is in line with this income class. The salary An Feng paid her is not low. A male servant took her to the front of the building, An Feng and Joanna greeted her at the door, and they were more curious about the real Angela.


    Walking towards them was a white woman in her early thirties, taller, with a typical Western Yangma figure, with short wine red hair, two earrings, heavy makeup, dark eye shadow and Dark lipstick and dressed like a rock diva.


    Her crisp and sharp character can be seen in her clothes, with a coat and trousers, and a pair of black high-top boots. She walked up to An Feng and stretched out her hand to him: "Mr. An!"


    "I''m glad you''re here." An Feng shook hands with her, "You look a little different from what I imagined."


    "Oh?" She laughed, "Is it a bit of an impression of a well-behaved girl next door?"


    "Yes." An Feng nodded, "Neither Joanna nor I guessed that you will have a completely different style in reality."


    "So I don''t want to meet each other, for fear of ruining my good impression." She said with a smile.


    "No, it''s fine for you to be like this, an independent and free woman." An Feng said, "This way please, let''s go into the room and talk."


    Angela is taller than Joanna, if she is thinner, she will be a standard supermodel figure. Different from her somewhat fierce appearance, her personality is soft, and her realistic voice is as moving as on the phone. An Feng didn''t mind the difference between real appearance and imagination, he mainly wanted Angela to help.


    An Feng explained: "Because the data is relatively large, the work may last for several months or even half a year. Of course, I will pay the salary according to the price of the first-line seiyuu, and there is also a bonus. If you think it is okay, I will be happy to send you voice is preserved."


    After thinking about it, Angela nodded: "I will try my best."

 Chapter 396： Rejection of honor【Third update】

    Chapter 396 Rejecting Honor ��Third Update��


    With Angela''s help, Eve''s voice output is no problem. An Feng specially found a professional recording studio in Los Angeles and provided it to Angela to work. The telephone service is delayed for the time being. Recently, Anfeng does not have too many requests for Express service, so it is easy to coordinate.


    Followed by a list of commonly used words and sentences, including different environments and different emotions, the content is quite a lot, and Angela needs to read it emotionally, which is not difficult for professionals. Once the data is recorded, let the intelligence assemble itself to form a unique synthetic sound.


    At the same time, An Feng started to activate Eve, intelligence has no gender, but as a computer soul engineer, An Feng is actually many times stronger than his technical team, but he is lazy and afraid of trouble... After some debugging, his personality has tended to be feminine, and then Come down and wake it up officially.


    Eve had no sound output at first, and An Feng communicated with it in a very primitive way��keyboard. Use the keyboard to talk to it, and there are a large number of dictionaries and example sentences in its storage area, allowing it to talk to An Feng in a more normal way. Although there will be some mistakes, they will continue to be corrected.


    Although it is chatting with a robot, it is actually smarter than a clumsy robot. If you ask the same question twice, it will be confused. It may remind you that it has been discussed before, and it may give a concise explanation. There are other manifestations...that''s intelligence.


    An Feng didn''t give it access to the network before it fully grown.


    As for fantasies such as artificial intelligence''s treachery, it is not possible. Its existence is based on basic rules-An Feng modified it into the three laws of robots, which cannot be violated, just like human beings will not stab themselves in the heart for no reason Makes sense, it doesn''t self-destruct.


    It will take some time for Eve to grow up. It is digesting new knowledge and forming a view of cognition.


    An Feng left it alone, and he also needs to care about his children and wife, especially Alice''s performance is very good recently, in December, she could make clear "papa" and "mama" Vocabulary, you can speak clearly in ten months.


    Then they did something interesting: An Feng took Alice''s favorite plush toy and teased her in front of her, while Joanna held her shoulders and helped her stand on the grass. To reach for it, mom supported her and she was able to walk on both feet.


    But the bad dad kept backing away, just a little bit... She walked faster when she was in a hurry, Joanna let go of her hand quietly, she lost her balance, but stumbled forward four or five steps, and caught the plush in An Feng''s hand Toys, An Feng hugged her and lifted her up: "Hey, you can walk now!"


    After a child walks with a sense of balance, the rest is much easier.


    They tried a few more times, and Alice was able to keep her balance for a few steps before falling over. An Feng made a face at her and successfully diverted his attention. He didn''t feel the pain of falling down, and he didn''t cry. He went back and forth, and the problem of walking seemed to be no trouble.


    "You''re so smart, Alice!" An Feng picked her up and kissed her forehead.


    "Papa!" Alice laughed, grabbing his nose with her little hand.


    "Hahaha, you little cleverness!" An Fengju walked around several times, and Joanna said from the side, "Be careful, she''s fainted!"


    "It''s okay." An Feng stopped, hugged her with one hand, and pointed at Joanna: "Who is this?"


    "Mama!" Alice shook both hands.


    "Great!" Joanna came over and kissed her, then kissed An Feng, "And Dad''s."


    An Feng said happily: "Our child is so smart, he will definitely spend money like me in the future."


    "What kind of logic is this?" Joanna didn''t know whether to laugh or cry.


    "Knowing how to spend money is also a kind of wisdom." An Feng always has a lot of reasons, "Well, it''s better to be more like Mama, right?"


    Alice would smile, Xiaoshou and Joanna made a gesture, repeating the numb sound in their mouths.


    Just making fun of the kids, Brandon drove a battery car over, followed by two tigers... Xiaobai and Xiaohei chased the battery car, Xiaohei was small and wanted to jump into the back seat, but Brandon ignored it, and Gu Zi was driving the car, combining seriousness and cuteness.


    The car drove towards them and stopped beside them. After Brandon got out of the car, he straightened up and said in his serious Oxford accent: "Mr. An."


    "Come and let mom hug you." Joanna opened her arms, and the little girl happily entered her mother''s arms, "It''s so cute, with a chubby little face!"


    An Feng stepped forward: "What''s the matter?"


    Brandon said: "Mr. Symonds, the assistant to the British Prime Minister, called just now and asked you to pay attention to the email. There is a list of Queen''s honors for the New Year on it."


    "Is there anything else?" An Feng asked.


    "He didn''t say more details." Brandon paused, "Mister and Madam, do you need to go back?"


    "It''s troublesome." An Feng said, and got into the back seat of the battery car with Joanna. Brandon drove the battery car slowly, and the two tigers continued to run behind.


    Coming to the living room, An Feng took out the tablet under the coffee table, opened his personal mailbox, and there was a marked letter in it, which was sent by Symonds. He clicked on the content of the email, downloaded the attachment and opened it. Joanna sat down beside him and looked at the information together.


    "Oh! Look at it!" An Feng saw the information highlighted in red font at the top at first glance, "Congratulations! My dear!"


    The information marked in red letters contains the information about the Queen''s New Year''s conferment. The time is in the middle of January. Joanna is in the front row, and the Queen personally confers it.


    She was proposed a title, abbreviated as: Joanna Circe Ann, Baroness Ann of Corpus Hill.


    This is brief, formal is long.


    "Is this true?" Joanna asked in surprise.


    "Symonds won''t be joking." An Feng nodded with certainty, "Congratulations, after the new year, you will be conferred a lifelong nobleman."


    Brandon heard it, and rarely smiled: "Congratulations, madam, this is an honor bestowed by the royal family!"


    "Thank you!" Joanna said happily, kissing the child in her arms, "And you, child!"


    An Feng hugged her with a smile: "Share this news?"


    "Wait, let me take a closer look." Joanna took the tablet and suppressed her excitement to read the content on it, "My fiefdom is in Kingston upon Thames? It seems to be quite close to downtown London, New York Corpus Hill in Madden? Never heard of it."


    "Could it be a corner?" An Feng was a little puzzled.


    "No." Joanna shook her head, "This area is very close to the city of London, and it is said that the area around it is an emerging rich area in recent years. My fief is located somewhere, but it doesn''t matter, this is not the Middle Ages either. , the fiefdom is just a symbol, and it can no longer become the territory of nobles."


    "That''s right." An Feng nodded, "If it was the monarchy era, Baroness Mount Corpus, you would now have land and people under your protection."


    Joanna smiled: "If this is the case, the heavy responsibility is not easy."


    "Look at the back." An Feng said, just now he was happy and ignored a bunch of words behind. "The nomination gets you into the House of Lords, as an MP?"


    Joanna also took a closer look. An Feng thought about it, and seemed to understand the meaning. In fact, lifelong nobles in England are generally reserved for politicians who plan to enter the House of Lords��because it has a rule that members of the House of Lords must be nobles, so they want to go in You have to have a vest.


    By extension, this is a means of soliciting, because the House of Lords does not have much power.


    "Look down." In order to verify some of An Feng''s ideas, he pulled down the list, and his name also appeared, "Bruce Von Ann? Who can help me add a nondescript middle name? Or KBE , I��m really willing to accept it, and I��ll be a jazz after I accept it.��


    An Feng''s identity is still a citizen of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, that is, a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, and he can accept the title of the monarch of the United Kingdom.


    But Joanna heard that he was not interested: "You don''t want it?"


    "Unless the royal family gives me a hereditary earl." An Feng said with a smile, "otherwise I can only give up."


    "Honestly," she said, "it''s a rare honor."


    "I know, but the harm outweighs the good. I still have an American passport. If I accept the medal as a Commonwealth citizen, it will make my dual citizenship known. Anderson gets into unnecessary trouble."


    "That''s right." Joanna understood.


    Although there will be no problem, dual nationality is the default, but An Feng also doesn''t like trouble.


    As for why he has his name, it is still a high level like KBE, and the reason is also to attract. An Feng is low-key, but his importance cannot be ignored. The royal family''s decision must have government considerations. Giving Baroness Joanna, pulling her into the House of Lords, and then awarding An Feng with honors is undoubtedly a kind of flattery.


    To put it simply, in today''s world, the five rogues are the ones who can manufacture exoskeleton machinery, which has also widened the gap between them and ordinary countries. Exoskeletons are not only used by individual soldiers, but also widely used in machinery. , it is simply a war efficiency accelerator.


    "Then what should I do here?" Joanna hesitated.


    An Feng smiled and said: "You can accept the title with peace of mind. You are from England, so there is no problem. As for the MP, it doesn''t matter whether you go to a nursing home or not, but if you are not prepared for politics, you should avoid it. , it will be difficult to get rid of if you touch it, I suggest you not to mess around."


    An Feng has been in the United States for so many years, and has had a lot of contact with politicians, so he has already seen through the connotation.


    "Mr. Brandon, what''s your opinion?" Joanna turned her head.


    Brandon said seriously: "I can only make suggestions from the aspect of life. If you want to become a member of parliament, madam, your words and behavior will definitely attract attention. Although there are no hard and fast rules for attending meetings, there will be times every year. If you focus on family, I would not recommend accepting the invitation to the House of Lords."


    Joanna shook her head: "I''m not interested in politics."


    "Then let Mr. Brandon write a reply letter for us." An Feng said that in terms of official document writing, the butler who has read many books is not ordinary.


    "I''m sorry to trouble you." Joanna said.


    "I''ll do it, sir and ma''am." Brandon nodded.


    In fact, the list on this email is only a preliminary draft, because although conferring a seal is a happy event, there is no shortage of alternative people in history, such as Lucian Freud, Roald Dahl, Francis Bacon, etc. Resolutely rejected the honor bestowed by the royal family.


    The face-saving British royal family, in order to prevent such embarrassment, the first draft is an inquiry, if you don��t want it, you can reply, and the royal family will remove this name from the final list. But there is no impenetrable wall in the world. In 2003, some good people published the list of those who refused.


    But those who refuse are always in the minority, like An Feng, who feels particularly dragged now.

 Chapter 397： baroness

    Chapter 397 Baroness


    An Feng rejected the honor conferred by the queen, but he didn''t feel any pity. The title didn''t mean much to him. He was not British, and he didn''t have the slightest sense of British national honor. Unless the title affords him tax benefits.


    But Joanna is different. She was born in an English aristocrat and has a family honor. Now that she has picked it up again, she will naturally be excited. It''s like the citizens of a certain country are awarded medals by the leaders of the country in person. For a guy like An Feng who only regards nationality as a vest, he can''t understand it.


    Excited, An Feng smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "Is it time to share the good news? Your mother will be proud of you!"


    "Yeah!" She nodded, picked up the phone and dialed the number.


    The result is self-evident. After talking on the phone for a long time, the Sassen family came to congratulate me in the evening. After the meal, Joanna and Kelly talked about many things, including the details of conferring. The last is the nobility, which can be distinguished just by having a fief.


    Kelly looked at the content of the email and said: "That is, the Baroness of Cops Hill in Kingston upon Thames in London? The baroness of Cops Hill for short?"


    "That''s right." Joanna nodded.


    Kelly said: "I have a cousin''s child who is studying at nearby Surbiton High School, which is close to Hampton Palace and is a beautiful place."


    "Does that mean it''s a good place to live?" An Feng asked his mother-in-law.


    "What do you think?" Joanna turned to look at him.


    An Feng also had thoughts: "That''s your fief, and we often go to England. Isn''t it more appropriate to have a suitable residence?"


    "It depends on what you young people plan." Kelly said with a smile.


    "I think it''s good." An Feng said.


    The fiefdom of the Baroness of Cops Hill, after speaking out, only has an apartment in downtown London. The most important thing is that it is a villa located in his own fief.


    Even if it doesn''t live, the meaning is different.


    Joanna has no objection, anyway, An Feng doesn''t take money seriously, he buys a car worth more than 10 million yuan if he''s happy, and it''s not short of a villa. He called Goodrich, his assistant in England, and asked him to find a house in the Newmarden area, especially around Cops Hill, and prepare to welcome the new lord!


    ��


    An Feng also shared the good news with his family members.


    Taking care of cultural differences, An Feng described the baroness as a landlord, and the title is the name of the landlord, just like the long string in front of the emperor''s name. Mom and Dad can easily accept this kind of image comparison, and then Dad asks: "How big is this baron''s land?"


    "There will be no land now." An Feng said with a smile.


    "What about ancient times?" Dad asked.


    An Feng thinks about it, combined with the land area of ??England...he said: "It''s probably a township."


    "So young?" Dad was surprised, "It turns out that this foreign nobleman has been talking about it for a long time, and it sounds so powerful, but in the end he is just a village head!"


    "Hahaha!" An Feng couldn''t help laughing, but according to the divided area, isn''t he the village head?


    An Feng stopped laughing: "Different father, this township chief has the right to rule, can form a private army, and dare to rebel."


    "That''s a miniature vassal state." Dad changed the term.


    "It''s quite similar." An Feng nodded, "Not quite. Anyway, you only need to know that the daughter-in-law is a symbolic landlord."


    Dad said: "Congratulate her for us. Whether it''s the township head or the town mayor, anyone who can get out of the identity is a good person."


    "That makes sense." An Feng smiled and hung up the phone.


    ��


    After An Feng''s reply was sent out, at the end of December, the queen''s final list of honors was announced.


    There are two awards every year, the number is over a thousand, and the medals are worthless... But those who can hold titles are quite rare, and KEB/DBE ranks very high. The most concerned is the award of nobles. The United Kingdom has now There will be no hereditary nobility anymore, but lifetime nobility is common.


    But it is also relatively speaking, the only one awarded in the past two years is Joanna.


    Once the list was announced, all eyes were on her. She is indeed very special. First of all, she is young, only twenty-nine years old; the support rate is very high. Although the royal family does not care about these things, it will also be affected by public values;


    All sectors of society are discussing this matter.


    In addition to political factors that do not require reasons, other reasons for conferring titles are extremely sufficient. The first is social contribution. She has brought military technology and promoted industrial development. Not many people know about military technology, but in terms of industrial development, Berg Company''s Nokia is obvious to all.


    The second is her status as a philanthropist. She has donated more than one billion pounds in total, funded people in difficulties from all walks of life, overcome many diseases, and contributed to society free of charge... If this honor is not rewarded, then most of the others will be awarded. There is no need for Xun''s to exist.


    In the end, it can also be said to be about sports. For example, Liverpool won the Triple Crown. To some extent, it was because of her burning money, which embarrassed the British. What does the royal family value? face! After all, the conferment of the royal family also considers personal feelings, and there is no absolute justice.


    I don��t have much experience in the United States on the other side of the ocean, but in England, Joanna has become the focus of social topics. Those who knew it before and those who have never heard of it now want to know her origin. Unfortunately, there is very little information. Some newspapers broke the news. Ana refuses any interviews.


    Since she was awarded the title of Dame, it is not that no one pays attention to her, and it is not that no media wants to do an exclusive interview, but they are all rejected without exception. When they meet by chance, they only get one or two responses, and the rest of the time they are either low-key or protected by strong bodyguards, warning strangers not to approach.


    But there are still enthusiastic fans who collect information, create a Wikipedia entry about her, edit some content in English, and attach photos. An Feng read the content of the encyclopedia, and introduced some of her birth and experience that can be found, the charity fund established in her name, and the Liverpool club. There are still some marriages in the back. Someone broke the news that she has already given birth to a daughter.


    "It took a lot of thought." An Feng handed the computer to her.


    Joanna said: "Someone still collected photos of my elementary school stage play!"


    An Feng has already tasted the enthusiasm on the Internet. He said: "Why don''t you also make a social account public? Interact with fans when you have time, or promote your charity ideas, help children and women, etc. The effect will not be better. Okay? It��s also a kind of kindness.��


    "Perhaps it really needs to be like this, otherwise it will always be guessed." Joanna said.


    An Feng said: "Also, after you are knighted, there will definitely be media who want to interview you. I heard that the Guardian and The Times are interested. Since you are already high-profile, as an outstanding figure in society, accept an interview with mainstream media. It��s also good to build your own image.��


    "I think about it." Joanna said, "The Guardian" and "The Times" are both mainstream media in the UK, and the content of the reports is more serious, unlike weekly magazines that focus on entertainment, such as "The Sun", An Feng''s most First know that it is aimed at the "third edition girl".


    "Let our assistant handle it." An Feng edited the email, and Goodrich now has two assistants, so it''s easy to do something.


    ��


    After New Years, they arrived in London.


    Joanna''s conferment arrangements are relatively advanced. Unlike other people who have been awarded medals, the conferment of noble titles is a separate process, and a morning is specially reserved for meetings with the Queen and other members of the royal family. Or visit Buckingham Palace.


    Accompanied by An Feng and her parents.


    In terms of clothing choices, Joanna, the protagonist, wears a custom-made morning dress, which is not as bright as the horse racing festival. The color is relatively calm and conservative. Appear too tall.


    Her stylist specially gave a very decent dress, including hats and jewelry and other details, while the other three are more low-key, mainly to set off the protagonist, the men are simple, An Feng and Frank are both in suits Morning gowns, and Kelly added some jewellery.


    They were sent to Buckingham Palace by the Jaguar-XJ sedan dedicated to the royal family.


    This is completely different from the treatment last time. This morning, the Queen of England specially reserved it for the baroness.


    It feels quite famous, but because it is a royal forbidden area, there are no paparazzi or reporters around, and some are just one or two very strict photographers. There are regulations on the time and occasion of taking pictures. In the solemnity created by the royal family, Joanna knelt on one knee, and the queen saluted with a sword.


    The photographer is responsible for recording this classic scene.


    An Feng and his father-in-law and mother-in-law watched the ceremony from the sidelines. The ceremony was not too long, and there was still a long time to make arrangements after it was over. They met the queen and the crown prince in the reception hall, and sat down to chat about many things. Joanna, who was the host of the topic, talked about charity, technology and the queen''s preferences.


    The grey-haired crown prince has shown up frequently recently, and he is probably preparing to take over the throne, so he is in charge of communication with Joanna''s family. As her husband, An Feng, the behind-the-scenes force, is still a rebel who rejected the royal family''s conferment. The crown prince is also interested in him. Not small, they also have some common topics.


    For example, equestrianism is almost the standard of the royal family. Even accidental injuries and dangers cannot stop their interest. Although An Feng is not so fanatical, his skills are not bad. There are photographers to take pictures to commemorate.


    Then there is a visit link. Buckingham Palace is open in summer, but only important guests who visit Anfeng now have the opportunity to see it. It doesn''t feel as high-profile as his manor in California. After all, the architectural style is different. The furniture used here is very ordinary, and there is not so much bright gold.


    The only thing is the oil painting collected by the royal family. It can be seen that the financial background is strong. It can be seen that the signatures are some European painting masters. The works are well preserved. I am afraid that it took several generations of energy to collect them. This low-key ostentation is the opposite of Anfeng''s baroque high-profile.


    To say that this An Feng is also hypocritical, he praised "good" on his lips, but shook his head in his heart. The layout is simple, not as luxurious as his own, the garden is too small, less than half the size of his home; how does this lake feel like a pond to him? Average; there is no tall swimming pool, no sea view, bad review.


    He doesn''t like this style, the tour is just wandering.


    The only thing that is okay is that the royal family has a high opinion of Joanna, and An Feng is satisfied with the queen''s kind attitude. That''s right. The purpose of making things so troublesome is to make Joanna happy, otherwise he wouldn''t have Use your energy to think about doing things to please these people.


    Tour all morning, also said a lot of words, the end of the trip.


    The process was calm, but the outside world paid close attention to her. From now on, she will be formally addressed with honorifics, those who are not familiar with them will be given titles, and the letter format can be divided into abbreviated and complete letters...There are a lot of rules and regulations, which are used by traditional British people who like to pay attention to red tape. On the body, it is very suitable.

 Chapter 398： Influence

    Chapter 398 Influence


    Before leaving, the cameraman left them a copy of the photo as a memento, and Joanna used it on her newly authenticated Twitter account, posting pictures and a short sentence, and soon some fans retweeted, the account was only recently opened Yes, but there are tens of thousands of followers.


    This is still the amount of attention that has not been officially disclosed, which also proves that there are indeed many people who care about her. Of course, there is no comparison with those big stars. After all, she is not a public figure, but her recent performance has attracted her attention and she has become a special person with high support.


    Joanna showed the content to An Feng: "Look, I didn''t expect so many retweets."


    "Congratulations! You are already a star." An Feng said with a smile, "You will be on the list of the top ten most attractive women in Britain by a certain newspaper next year."


    "It''s not that easy." Joanna shook her head.


    "Your Excellency, the Baroness of Mount Cops, don''t underestimate your charm." An Feng said solemnly, "After the interview with the following characters, more people will pay attention to you. You can occasionally mention the advocacy of caring for children with autism , let more people care about this special group.��


    "I will." Joanna nodded, and glanced at the phone, "There are more numbers, how strange!"


    Joanna��s Twitter used to exist, but it wasn��t her full name, and she didn��t have any authentication. Now she��s using the officially authenticated Baroness Joanna. As her official account, interested people will pay attention to her every move. The content of the envelope is continuously forwarded.


    Both ordinary people and important ones are forwarded, such as the account of the foundation, which has a great influence nowadays; there are also Liverpool coaches and a group of stars, who cheer for the female boss; at night, the British The prime minister also retweeted in circles.


    Cross-spreading continued, attention suddenly skyrocketed.


    In terms of attractiveness, a baroness alone would not be so strong, but she has attracted the public''s appetite in the past few years. As the heroic female boss of Liverpool and a generous donor of the foundation, she has joined forces with the Jean and Tima Biological Research Center of the United States. The ambassador who promotes the world''s childhood disease aid has a wide range of influence.


    After many calls, she finally has a medium to communicate with the public. Fans, people who support good deeds, and those who pay attention to her for various reasons. Make a contribution, and by the next day, it has exceeded 100,000.


    The number of 100,000 may not be a big deal to China, but England, with a population of less than 60 million, cannot be compared with China, which has hundreds of millions of netizens alone. Calculated proportionally, the proportion of people who follow her is very large. Even An Feng retweeted it, adding to her fan base.


    ��


    The heat continued to ferment the next day, but this was just for entertainment. An Feng had other things to do. In the morning, he agreed with Goodrich to go to the seat of Joanna''s fiefdom, that is, Kingston upon Thames. Goodrich took the time to find the property for them, and the photos looked good.


    Car Goodrich introduced: "The house is located in the Cops Mountain area, the surrounding scenery is very good, there is the Royal Golf Course nearby, and it is only a dozen kilometers away from the airport. The transportation and geography are very convenient..."


    Twenty minutes later, they saw the house Goodrich had chosen.


    The car drove all the way, and there were indeed many luxury houses nearby, covering a lot of land. The house they chose was surrounded by green trees, and privacy and cleanliness were guaranteed. Get off the car and meet the female agent who made an appointment. She shook hands with them warmly and took them in for a visit.


    The house occupies a large area and is two stories high. On the first floor there are living room, living room, kitchen and gym, and there is also a study room facing the lawn in the backyard. You can see the verdant greenery when you look up, and it is very quiet on weekdays; the second floor has With five bedrooms, even if guests come, living is not a problem.


    The housing prices in this area are not low. The price of this house plus the spacious front and rear yards is 3.2 million pounds. The total area is similar to that of An Feng''s mansion in Miami, and of course the private beach cannot be included. Looking back and forth, as a symbolic residence, An Feng was not picky.


    His purpose is to let the Baroness of Corpus Hill have a house in her fief, and pay more attention to face. First of all, the house must be large, carefully decorated, with front and rear yards, and personal privacy must be guaranteed. You can��t bask in the sun in the yard, and the photos will be uploaded on the Internet tomorrow.


    So he asked, "What do you think?"


    "It''s okay." Joanna took off her sunglasses, "It''s also suitable to come here for a few days occasionally."


    "We can recommend a full-time butler service." The female middle school came over enthusiastically, and suddenly hesitated: "May I ask, Baroness Joanna?"


    Joanna nodded, wearing sunglasses is to travel low-key.


    "Nice to meet you!" The female agent said enthusiastically, "You are different from the picture. I mean the real person feels more real and more attractive."


    "Thank you." Joanna smiled.


    Later, the intermediary became more enthusiastic and recommended a lot of practical services. Maybe it was the influence of Joanna''s personal charm, or maybe it was because she recognized the baroness and learned that they were billionaires, and the business was easy to do. Anyway, she was so enthusiastic that he couldn''t bear to refuse her.


    Finally, An Feng decided to buy it, 3.2 million is nothing, the important thing is that it is in the territory of the baroness, and it will save face if he wants to entertain British friends in the future. It also saves the need to go to a high-rise apartment, which is more suitable for personal daily use.


    Anfeng also adopts the recommended butler service, the reason is the same as above.


    ��


    A few days later, after some preparations, Joanna accepted an exclusive interview with the media.


    The interviewer was a column of the British "Guardian", and it was also selected by An Feng''s assistant. Joanna''s assistant had rejected hundreds of interview requests from the media, and now she agreed for the first time. These people who were sent to interview The journalists are very cautious.


    "Guardian" has a good influence in the UK, Europe and the world. Many of its readers are young and intellectual groups, with broad horizons and are able to accept new trends of thought. People who are particularly valued by newspapers also indirectly prove their influence on society, which is worth paying attention to.


    The exclusive interview with Joanna means that the content will be synchronized in Europe and the world.


    As far as the popularity of the Baroness of Mount Cops is concerned, it can be seen from the skyrocketing Twitter followers that the number of followers has exceeded 200,000 in a few days, and because of the problems accumulated by the media for a long time, they selected some valuable, The peers did not have the opportunity to question the baroness in person.


    Joanna and her husband were interviewed in a hotel.


    The main subject of the interview is Joanna, with An Feng as a foil, and of course there are some questions that need to be answered by him. Questions from media reporters have been skimmed and they have picked out some of them that are of interest. All in all, there will be no abrupt, unprepared questions.


    Big media is very professional.


    The nature of the Guardian also determines that its content will not gossip, so the interview with Joanna mostly focuses on the two fields of charity and technology, and talks about charity and medical care. Science and Technology has the original intention of establishing Berg Company, the expectations of it as a major shareholder, and so on. Later, there are more relaxed questions about the team''s views and women''s equal rights, and I will ask An Feng about other things.


    This is the first time that Joanna has been officially interviewed by the media, and of course An Feng is also the first time, but the performance of both of them is very natural, this kind of small scene can''t help them, basically the answers are fluent, and the two-hour interview is very good. It''s almost over, and there will be a full report on the homepage of the website the next day.


    They also viewed content in their new home that day.


    "Does mom look good?" Joanna hugged Alice and showed her a photo of the interview scene on the computer screen.


    "Pretty." Alice said, almost one year old, she can already master simple vocabulary.


    "So cute!" Joanna kissed her cheek.


    An Feng browsed the content, and the editor put most of the interview content up. The order and sentences were adjusted a bit. In terms of speech and ideals, the unique charm of the Baroness of Mount Cops was more prominent. An Feng nodded frequently as he watched , I feel that I paid for it and asked someone to pack it.


    The media tends to beautify her, praise her philosophy of charity and women''s rights, and create an image of a discerning investor and philanthropist. It also allows more people to understand Joanna''s thoughts and opinions through the content of the interview, thus adding points to her character and charm.


    Public attention is also skyrocketing, and she''s now in the spotlight.


    All walks of life intend to create an image of an aristocratic woman in the new era through her glamorous actions.


    A series of goodwill actions made her very popular in England. As a result, in the future, some newspapers with a lot of entertainment elements like to make some eye-catching rankings, such as the top ten most popular women, top ten richest women, and influential women, etc., she is among the best.


    In short, if she goes out on the street with a high profile, she will definitely be treated like a celebrity.


    This is probably the only inconvenience. They lived in London for a few days and returned to California in late January. An Feng also specially prepared a party to celebrate with relatives and friends. Then came Alice''s first birthday, and they sent out invitations, making lively preparations.


    February 3rd is Alice''s important day. An Feng''s parents, sister and some relatives all came here specially. Joanna''s parents and bear children also came here in the evening. Neighbors Matthew and Austin also specially prepared Gifts, other invited people came to the door one after another.


    There were many guests in the main banquet hall, surrounded by a huge three-tiered cake. The little birthday boy was wearing a crystal crown. He was picked up by his father and taught her to blow out candles. As a result, Alice couldn''t, her mouth was bulging, but she didn''t have much air Come out, anxious little face flushed.


    "Come on!" Joanna said.


    "Cousin, come on!" Xiaoyu stepped aside and encouraged.


    Encouraged by everyone, the little girl approached and blew a candle with confidence, and finally extinguished a candle. Everyone applauded to celebrate. An Feng handed it to her mother, cut a small piece of cake, and brought it to Alice. She opened her mouth and took a bite, and there was cream around her mouth.


    "How is it?" Joanna lowered her head and asked her.


    "More, Mom!" Alice stretched out her hand, and An Feng cut a small piece for her, and then greeted the others: "Everyone, cut the cake!"


    "I want the cream figure on the top!" Xiaoyu said, "I want to put it in a box."


    "I want a big piece." The bear boy Andy said.


    "I want the green one." The little girl Mia pushed forward.


    "Be careful! Children!" An Feng reminded the gang of bratty brats, "Be careful if you knock it over, you won''t be able to eat later!"


    Guests are sharing Alice''s memorable cake.


    An Feng and Joanna took their children to the window and sat down. The little girl was looking at all kinds of people in the banquet hall with dark eyes. Her mother held her in her arms and taught her to recognize people. This one is grandma, that one It''s grandpa... An Feng looked at the pile of presents next to him, it was quite a lot.


    The first birthday is very meaningful. Many of An Feng��s friends have arrived, and even mailed gifts and congratulations to those who are not free. The gifts I received are various, some are exquisite and lovely, and some are also valuable, all of which took a lot of thought. An Feng helped her unwrap the remaining presents when he had nothing to do.


    "Do you remember?" Joanna lowered her head and asked, "These are all your friends."


    "Friend." Alice repeated her words, "Friend."


    "Right." Joanna smiled, "Do you want to play with them?"


    "I think so," she said.


    "Then let grandma accompany you!" Joanna looked up, just as Kelly was walking, and she said, "Let''s take some photos with the children."


    "No problem." Joanna put Alice on the ground, and the little girl ran to hug her thigh while screaming grandma. Kelly smiled and squatted down to support her.


    "Good boy, let grandma play with you!" Kelly carried her away, and the others also came to take pictures with the little birthday star, but Alice could pose.


    "Our daughter''s sense of camera is really good!" An Feng said with a smile.


    "Yeah!" Joanna nodded, "It would be even more interesting if there was a boy."


    "Do you still want it?" An Feng looked at her. To be honest, he also felt that being alone was not lively enough, and good things come in pairs.


    Joanna nodded, but she said: "But I will think about it in a few years, and wait until Alice can reassure me."


    An Feng said: "Whether a child is young or grown up, parents will never let their parents feel at ease, including me now, my parents still say that I can''t do this, and that doesn''t matter."


    Joanna smiled: "Me too, my mother always educates me."


    An Feng hugged her waist and let her lean on him, "But we''ll just raise the little girl up for now, and it''s not easy to deal with two little troublemakers at the same time. And I think we have to form a sister effect so that future It''s better for the young man to have someone to learn from."


    "It makes sense." Joanna nodded, "Look at her, she is simply a starlet."


    Alice stood in front, and everyone squatted around her. The little girl was actually better than scissorhands, ignorant, her small face was always pointed at the camera lens.


    "Really smart." An Feng smiled.


    Joanna leaned her head on his shoulder and smiled: "Same as you."


    "Should be like you, Baroness of Corpus Hill, mother is a role model for girls." An Feng said, "And boy, you have to be like me."


    Joanna said: "Full of weird ideas like you?"


    An Feng smiled: "Handsome and unrestrained like me, if you can make money, you will spend money, if you have money, you will have a girl..."

 Chapter 399： Birthday

    Chapter 399 Birthday


    Five years later.


    Early in the morning, An Feng heard a child knocking on the door, and when the door was pushed open, the little girl''s shrill voice rang in his ears: "Good morning! Mom and Dad!"


    An Feng opened his eyes reluctantly, and turned to look at Alice who was standing by the bed and looking at him: "What''s the matter so early, dear?"


    "Can I skip school today?" Alice asked expectantly.


    "No." An Feng shook his head.


    "But today is my birthday." She pouted.


    "That''s why you''re going to school, tell the other kids, and invite them over to the party tonight."


    "That''s right." Alice suddenly realized, "So I can bring a lot of friends over to play this afternoon? So sister Jade will come too?"


    "Of course." An Feng nodded, jade is her cousin Xiaoyu.


    "Then can I ask my mother to comb my hair? I like to comb it from the forehead to the back." Alice looked at Joanna, who had just opened her eyes and buried her head in An Feng''s neck. He specially grabbed a bunch of hair from the side and put it on his head, posing in a pose that showed his forehead.


    "As long as you like." Joanna said sleepily.


    "Thank you, Ma Ma!" She said with a smile, "Daddy, you are going to send me to school."


    "Well, it''s still time before school..." An Feng looked at the time, brat! It''s only seven o''clock!


    "Then?" Alice looked at him with **** eyes.


    "OK! OK!" An Feng turned around and hugged her to the bed, tickling her: "Are you a robot that has just been fully charged? It''s really disturbing!"


    "Hahaha!" Alice smiled and scratched her father in turn, "I''m not an uncle robot!"


    An Feng and Joanna were woken up by Alice at seven o''clock, and they quarreled with her for a while, telling her to go downstairs to have breakfast, and they got up to wash up. Then Joanna went next door and picked up her little son, Fred, who was still sleeping. He is a little over a year old and is the latest love crystallization of the couple.


    Breakfast has been prepared in the dining room downstairs, and the family sits around the dining table. Since today is Alice''s sixth birthday, it is of commemorative significance. According to Joanna''s habit, they held hands and prayed together before the meal. Eat while your child chirps.


    "Please swallow your food before you speak." Joanna reminded Alice, "Don''t talk while eating. Look at the things on the table, whose is it?"


    "Brother''s," she said.


    "Brother is still drinking milk, can he spray bread crumbs?" Joanna put down the knife and looked at her with a serious expression.


    The little girl looked left and right, and whispered: "Is that...father''s?"


    An Feng is sad, child, you have to be a little principled when you frame up, okay, the father who loves you the most can betray you?


    "Okay, it''s mine." She said aggrievedly.


    "Please say this directly next time." Joanna reminded her. Generally speaking, a family requires parents to play two opposing roles. An Feng loves his children more, and Joanna has to be stricter accordingly. Otherwise, if he pampers his children, he will only pamper her and ruin his future.


    "I''m sorry, it''s my fault." She lowered her head and played with the fork.


    Fred looked at everyone and grinned, milk dripping from his mouth.


    "Oh!" Alice picked up the napkin on his lap and wiped the milk for him. "You have to shut up and drink."


    "Thank you." Fred said. He had just learned dozens of words, and the content he could express was very simple, and he didn''t speak as many words as Alice did when she was a child.


    "Progress, honey." Joanna said with a smile.


    Since having two little guys, the house has become much more lively. Of course, it is quite a headache when you make trouble... After breakfast, Alice asked her mother to help her braid. Leave the hair on both sides of the shoulders, revealing the forehead, and the braids are clamped by hairpins.


    Combined with her chubby face, she shows her cuteness to the fullest. The advantage of mixed blood is very strong, the hair and eyes are inherited from the father, and the face shape has the shadow of the mother, the nose is relatively straight, and the facial features are more three-dimensional, which naturally looks very delicate and cute.


    The other child, Fred, can''t see anything at a young age. He has very thin yellow hair and has just learned to walk. Compared with Alice''s lively and active childhood, his growth process was a little silent and he didn''t cry. It is estimated that when he grows up, he will be a very independent person.


    Joanna combed Alice''s hair. She changed into a dress, paired with a pair of short boots, and carried a small schoolbag with nothing on her back. She happily took her father''s hand and set off. Joanna sent them to the door, An Feng let Alice sit in the back seat of the Maserati, and then kissed Joanna goodbye.


    "Goodbye, Mom!" The little girl waved to Joanna through the car window.


    She also smiled and waved her hand, An Feng drove the car out to a nearby elementary school. The school is invested heavily by Anfeng. When it comes to education, children in the United States can be sent to care for education when they are less than one year old. The form and location are very random, and the main thing is to play with a group of friends.


    Including elementary school, the main purpose of children is to play, and they don''t start to get nervous until after middle school.


    Alice is a little different. She was not sent to care or day care institutions. She was educated at home before she was five years old. She hired six or seven tutors to give her some favorite things. This also successfully enabled her to master both Chinese and English. , with the same English accent as her mother.


    She is currently going to the kindergarten of her elementary school, which usually lasts for one year. It started in September last year, and there is another semester this year, and she will not officially start elementary school until September. Because of An Feng''s work, Alice has to go to school in the United States, and she is not sure where she will choose after that.


    Send her to the gate of the elementary school. After saying goodbye to her father, Alice walked into the school like other children, talking and laughing, and started a new day. An Feng had seen their primary school classroom, it was completely different from the one he had when he was a child, it felt like an amusement park with all kinds of fun.


    Then I drove home. Today is Alice''s birthday, so I have to make some arrangements.


    The car stopped in front of the building door. Before An Feng got off the car, he pressed the shortcut key to return to the garage on the touch screen interface, and then got off and closed the door. The unmanned electric car continued to reverse and turn around. The route returns to the garage, the power is turned off, and there is no need to worry about the whole process.


    Autonomous driving is not uncommon. It has been in its infancy 20 years ago. However, due to safety considerations in various countries, even if the accident rate of machines is far lower than that of humans, people are still willing to believe in themselves. Therefore, autonomous driving has not been popularized. Parking technology is very advanced.


    In fact, automatic parking and assisted steering are almost automatic driving.


    I went home and discussed with the butler the format of the birthday party, which was held in the main banquet hall, so that the holographic environment created a fairy tale effect, such as the scene of Alice in Wonderland, which happened to fit the name, and Alice liked it too. The housekeeper listened to An Feng''s idea and ordered the servants to implement it.


    An Feng''s "stuff" ends here.


    Teach Fred how to read with Joanna in the morning. Although the child has few words, he has a strong learning ability and is smart. He can remember many things after several times. Teaching is a very easy thing. An Feng lay on his side on the ground, propping his chin on his hand and telling him the story of Winnie the Pooh.


    "You''re lazier than a child!" Joanna came over with some desserts and sat down next to him.


    "The child is too smart, I have nothing else to do." An Feng reached out to grab the cake, and slapped Joanna''s paw off: "Use a fork."


    "Hey me." An Feng withdrew his hand.


    "Not serious." Joanna said, but still handed it to his mouth.


    "Delicious!" An Feng said, "I love you."


    "So perfunctory?" she said.


    An Feng got up and hugged her and kissed her, and said with a smile: "Is this okay? I originally wanted to be more enthusiastic, but the child is here, and seeing the influence is not good."


    "You know it too!" Joanna said.


    An Feng smiled and lay back, Fred sat on the ground with his legs apart, looking at the booklet of the story, An Feng continued: "Let''s talk about the next paragraph..."


    After two o''clock in the afternoon, An Feng drove to pick up Alice.


    In preparation for the birthday party, there are not many people invited this time, and they are all friends who are close to them and their children. Alice has two new acquaintances who are coming tonight. The adults have to prepare... The party will start in the evening, and guests from all over the world will arrive one after another.


    Alice''s most familiar partner: Matthew''s child William, who is only one year older than her, came to the door with a small pink gift box; Wang Le''s boy Harry also arrived as scheduled, and Wu Chao, who was on vacation, also came to the door. Bring his girl Lulu over to congratulate Alice on her birthday.


    In addition to the children, some of Alice''s big friends, sister Xiaoyu who used to accompany her when she was young, is no longer suitable to be described as "small". , You have to start college life in September.


    According to seniority, Xiaoyu is the elder, but Joanna��s younger brother, Andy, who is not much different in age, is also present. Andy also graduated from high school this year, but Westerners look like they are in their twenties. The last time Anfeng saw Andy Shopping in Los Angeles with his girlfriend... This kid has a future!


    The little birthday star dressed up grandly, wearing a cute tutu skirt and a crown on her head, and said sweet "Mr. Ma''am" to the visitors, making everyone cute... After all the relatives and friends arrived, everyone began to sing her birthday song Celebration, followed by making wishes and blowing out candles.


    This was normal at first, but after blowing out the candles, the little girl suddenly began to sob.


    An Feng, who was holding a camera, stepped forward to film this scene. Her mother asked puzzledly, "Why are you crying, dear?"


    Everyone also looked at her with concern, thinking that something was not happy, but she looked at her younger brother sitting on the chair beside her, and sobbed, "I think Fred will grow up in the future."


    "What?" Joanna was puzzled, and so were everyone.


    "Can you keep him from growing up?" Alice looked up at her mother, then at her father.


    Everyone was still confused, she walked towards Fred, hugged him and kissed him on the head, then turned to them and said, "He''s so cute!" After a pause, "I don''t want him to grow up! Oh Maika I made a wish just now, I hope he will not grow up..."


    Then whimpered again.


    The group celebrating the birthday couldn��t laugh or cry, and even An Feng, who was in charge of filming, laughed so hard that his hands shook. Matthew held back his smile and asked, ��Why do you think so?��


    Alice hugged her brother solemnly, and said sincerely: "He is so cute!"


    "But it''s nature, like you grow up," Matthew said.


    "No! I don''t want him to grow up, I don''t want to grow old!" She cried, and only Fred, who was involved in the incident, sat there with a puzzled expression on his face.


    The scene of the crying little **** and the cute brother is in contrast. Everyone doesn''t know what to say, but her expression is so serious... The adults may not be able to guess the child''s mind. After a while, through the birthday party It was the game of grabbing a chair that diverted her attention.


    An Feng was relieved when he saw that the bear child was playing with other children to grab chairs.


    Matthew sat down beside him and asked, "What''s going on?"


    "I don''t know what made her so hysterical." An Feng shrugged, "But this little girl has been a headache since she was a child."


    As the godfather of the child, Matthew smiled: "I agree, she used to bother me a lot!"

 Chapter 400： invite

    Chapter 400 Invitation


    The children were playing games in the banquet hall, and the adults either cooperated with them, or took a camera to record this childlike scene. After more than an hour of entertainment, they rested at the table when they were tired. Joanna sat in front of the piano and dedicated a song "Auld Lang Syne" to these children.


    The brisk music quieted them down.


    Joanna played with all her heart, dedicated to all the children, and finally said with a smile: "I hope you can all remember this most pure friendship."


    Everyone applauded, and the performance of the child''s mother marked a perfect end to the party.


    Considering that I have to go to school tomorrow, it is already past nine o''clock, some children have to go home, and those who stay are those who live close to each other. They will continue to celebrate Alice''s birthday and play games around the little birthday boy. She completely forgot why she was crying just now, and happily quarreled with everyone.


    Xiaoyu came to An Feng and sat down, and said, "Alice was so cute just now, can you leave me a copy of the video?"


    "Of course no problem." An Feng nodded, "But you were just like her when you were young."


    "Really?" Xiaoyu said with a smile.


    An Feng nodded: "Of course, both me and your aunt have seen your ability."


    "No way." Xiaoyu held the cup, "Uncle, sister Ke Ke invited us to New York in February, do you have any plans?"


    "Are you going too? Skip class?" An Feng said clearly.


    "I''m already a prospective graduate, and I''ve already chosen a university!" She shook An Feng''s arm and said coquettishly, "Can''t I change to another suitable one?"


    "You have to ask your mother for permission." An Feng said.


    Xiaoyu looked at her mother in the crowd, and nodded with a smile: "Mom will definitely agree, this is Sister Keke''s official show!"


    An Feng said: "Okay, then we will go to New York with your Uncle Wang to support her, okay?"


    "Uncle, you are so kind!" Xiaoyu said with satisfaction.


    Speaking of Wang Keke, after graduating from Parsons College, she went to work in a luxury goods company, resigned after accumulating enough experience, and became a designer by herself, with the help of her background��An Feng and Wang Le provided investment��she It''s easy to get mixed up.


    Of course, help is just a boost. For a talented designer, even if she continues to stay in her original position, she will shine brightly sooner or later. Now choose the entrepreneurial model, although it is difficult, but the return of success is even greater. It depends on how the individual chooses, obviously Wang Keke is very confident.


    Talk this matter to Wang Leyi and agree on a departure time.


    After playing until after ten o''clock, the friends who attended the party said goodbye one after another, and Xiaoyu had to go back to the vineyard with her parents. Three years ago, Anfeng''s sister and brother-in-law had already obtained their green cards. Anfeng fulfilled his original promise and left the winery to them to manage. Xiaoyu also went to high school nearby with good grades.


    Wang Le and Wu Chao''s family stayed overnight, and An Feng''s parents were also there, but the elderly are still not used to living in the United States. Live, do what you want to do.


    Anfeng''s parents live well in China. They have a house and a car, and they can''t run out of money. They usually go to the activity center for the elderly, and occasionally drive around. There are many, but it is also in line with international standards.


    If it was more than ten years ago, An Feng was not at ease, but now the society has changed greatly, and he is also at ease to let the elderly live in China, and occasionally make a phone call. If there is something to do, he has a private jet, and it is very easy to go back. , supersonic aircraft can arrive in a few hours.


    ��


    Alice didn��t bother them the next day. Maybe it was because she was too tired last night. She slept until after eight o��clock before being woken up by the maid. After breakfast, she was sent to school by the bodyguard. Wang Le left with his wife and children, and Wu Chao also had to go home. After sending them off, An Feng walked around the courtyard with his parents.


    "Look at those little tigers!" The sharp-eyed dad spotted the tigers haunting the woods.


    An Feng looked over: "That''s Xiaobai who just gave birth. The tiger cub is just over a month old. It looks like a cat. Alice wants to hug it."


    "At this time, the tiger still protects the calf?" Dad asked.


    "There are a few, so I didn''t let Alice touch them." An Feng said, "Let''s go and have a look."


    It took a few years for Xiaobai and Xiaohe to achieve positive results. Before Xiaohei was often bullied by Xiaobai, but when he grew up, his body broke through three meters and weighed more than two hundred kilograms. Then he went abroad to hone his skills. After a while, he finally got a little bit of manliness when he came back, and he also met Hu Meizi.


    Xiaobai gave birth to three cubs, only a little over a month ago. His motherhood made him have a bad temper. To protect the calf, only An Feng and Joanna who grew up with him can get in touch. Alice may have their breath, The attitude is relatively gentle, and it is difficult for others to touch its children.


    "Let me take a look at the kitten!" An Feng reached out and grabbed a tiger cat and held it in his arms. "Look, this little thing is round!"


    Mom and Dad also sat down beside them, looking at the tiger cub in An Feng''s hand.


    Dad asked: "I gave birth to three tigers at a time, and plan to build a zoo in the future?"


    "Two of them have already been booked out, and they will be given away when they grow up." An Feng said, the combination of excellent genes, the tiger cubs born already have the characteristics of their parents. Will be as obedient as their parents, definitely a scarce resource.


    My mother said: "There are too many tigers, and there is a lot of meat to eat every day."


    "I''m not short of meat money, so I can raise ten more." An Feng put the little tiger on the ground, but it started fighting with An Feng''s pants.


    My mother said: "You are old and not young. People who are almost forty should not worry about playing all day long. They should also care more about their children and wives."


    "Here we go again." An Feng looked up at the sky helplessly. In the past, he was almost 30 years old, and he didn''t have a child. Now he is almost 40 years old, and he still thinks about playing... Mom shook her head, and Dad smiled and said, "Don''t talk about this all day long, the child still doesn''t understand!"


    "That''s right!" An Feng agreed with his father.


    Dad said: "We plan to go back the day after tomorrow. We have to attend a relative''s banquet next week. Their grandsons are all married, so let''s join in the fun."


    "Well, bring me a gift." An Feng said.


    Dad said: "I went on behalf of you, everyone knows you are busy."


    "Pfft!" An Feng laughed, "That''s a good reason!"


    ��


    When Alice learned that her parents were going to New York at night, she was very unhappy: "Why didn''t you take me?"


    "The reason is that you have to go to school," Joanna said.


    The little girl pursed her lips, wanting to be coquettish and rogue, but mother is obviously not an easy character to deal with. It would be easy if only father was around... She rolled her clever eyes, and finally said: "Then, then you leave me alone, Go play, go enjoy, how can I sleep at night?"


    An Feng laughed, and Joanna said: "Don''t make yourself so pitiful, remember the last vacation? We agreed to all your requests."


    "But I also agreed to your request." The little girl said.


    "You said that if you pay, you will be rewarded." The little girl continued pitifully. She is smart, and she doesn''t know how she acted foolishly last night.


    An Feng said: "The spring break at the end of March, our family will go to the east coast to play, how about a ten-day vacation?"


    "Really?" Alice said, suddenly crying again: "But you lied! There are only eight days of spring break, how can there be ten days!"


    An Feng smiled: "When Mom and Dad are not at home, you should be like your younger brother and listen to Aunt Manda. I will give you two more days off, how about it?"


    "Deal!" She stretched out her little hand.


    "It''s not ladylike," said Joanna, and Alice drew back.


    "Deal!" An Feng smiled and touched her little head with his finger.


    ��


    In late February, An Feng and Wang Le made an appointment to fly to New York.


    On the plane, Wang Le��s son Harry curled up on the seat with a tablet and played a children��s game. Xiaoyu patiently taught Harry how to decrypt. Several other people sat on the sofa and communicated. Wang Le put down the magazine: "I have seen the program list this time, and there are very few high-end designers!"


    "That''s why the preciousness of haute couture is highlighted." An Feng said that although Wang Keke was rebellious, she had nothing to say about her talent, which was fully reflected in her.


    "I hope she can succeed." Wang Le said.


    "Sister Ke Ke will definitely." Xiaoyu turned her head and said, "In this way, I will have clothes from big-name designers!"


    "Small calculations are well done." An Feng said.


    During the chat, the plane landed at the destination, and the car rented online was picked up at the airport, two Ford SUVs, pure electric. Nowadays, electric vehicles and charging stations can be seen everywhere in big cities in the United States. According to statistics, the number of electric vehicles in New York has reached 30%, and most of the gasoline vehicles are old models.


    Car manufacturers rarely launch new gasoline vehicles, they are all replacements of the original ones, and more focus on the research and development of electric vehicles. With the spread of charging stations and the introduction of low-cost batteries, electric energy is already a necessity. New York''s taxis are also gradually switching to electric ones.


    The roads in New York have become quieter, and quiet cars can be seen at any time.


    The oil industry has been impacted, but gasoline is only one of them. In other fields such as aviation or navigation, electric energy still cannot replace fuel, but they have already lost the war for cars. GP Energy, which occupies 90% of the battery market, dominates all of this. Today The company''s share price topped $550.


    Drive to the hotel along the route displayed on the head-up display. When passing through the Broadway area, the graphene display screen on the building is playing the advertisement of the robot company. people to chat or babysit.


    Of course, its price is also very high. Ordinary models cost 800,000 US dollars, and customized ones cost more than 1.2 million. However, there is no shortage of rich people in the world. They like to pursue some special things that ordinary people cannot enjoy. The marketing strategy of the robot company is also considered successful, and orders for robots have been rising.


    Arriving at the hotel by car, they had already booked two suites. They could choose the room freely, and they could also choose the view of the room through the touch panel on the wall. The holographic technology in high-end rooms is frequently used, allowing customers to create any room they want. environment.


    Backing back to the living room, Joanna was in holographic communication with the two children at home, telling them to do things.


    An Feng went to get a bottle of Bida drink and returned to sit on the sofa. In the past few years, there have been great changes. The technologies brought by several high-tech companies under him are affecting the whole world and bringing him He has accumulated countless wealth and developed to the present. It can be said that money is really just a bunch of numbers.

 Chapter 401： entertainment investment

    Chapter 401 Entertainment Investment


    The arrangement for this outing is very tight, only two days.


    Wang Le took his five-year-old child with him. The care center was on vacation. Harry was very annoying and wanted to support Wang Keke. In the morning they went for a walk in the park to relax, and in the afternoon they made an appointment with Roger to meet at the press conference, and set off when the time came.


    On Alice''s birthday in early February, Roger and Miranda were in France with their two children, but they didn''t have the chance to come. This time, when they returned to New York, Miranda was mainly invited by many brands. As an authority figure in entertainment and fashion magazines, Milan Tatsu also came here to support Wang Keke in friendship.


    Arriving at the entrance of the press conference, although C&W is a new brand, the designer Wang Keke is not a newcomer. The talented female designer has frequently appeared in her works since her college days, and the media continues to pay attention. World attention.


    Because of Miranda''s relationship, some big names in the entertainment industry came to support.


    The excitement of top brands appeared at the entrance of the press conference. Media reporters gathered around the temporary guardrail. The security guards maintained order. Luxury cars stopped one after another. Female stars made their elegant appearances. The fans and reporters were excited, and the cameras continued to click.


    An Feng is very low-key here, being escorted by the bodyguards of the Aegis Security Division, the reporter only took a few photos of his back. On the sign-in stage, they were captured, and the focus was on Joanna and An Feng. The baroness is very popular. She is a non-public figure comparable to a star, a rich woman who has donated more than tens of billions of dollars, the chairman of a large private foundation, and the most powerful supporter of philanthropic medicine...


    Dozens of medical problems have been donated by her, children all over the world have been helped by the foundation, women''s rights issues have always been concerned, and education assistance has spread all over the world. If she hadn''t refused, she could have become a world-class UN goodwill ambassador.


    In short, people from all walks of life speak highly of her. Her husband, An, is her supporter of spirit and money. He is a modern Iron Man, but it is a pity that Europe and the United States call for racial equality, but in fact they still like to let white people show their faces, unless An Feng''s achievements reach a level that the whole world cannot ignore.


    Apparently he could, but he didn''t make it public.


    Enter the venue while paying attention, and be led to the designated VIP position in the front row by the receptionist. The surrounding area was overcrowded, and next to An Feng were entertainment tycoons Roger and Miranda. Roger has always been the most high-profile in the consortium. His wife invested in the entertainment industry, and he gave money behind his back. When the money became boring, he and An Feng bought a film company. In addition, he owns a music label and owns a Many entertainers.


    That''s why Roger is called the hidden BOSS of the entertainment industry. Although he is inconspicuous, the bosses give him face.


    "Hey!" An Feng and Roger shook hands and hugged, and then hugged Miranda. Everyone saluted each other, and after a few pleasantries, they sat down one by one.


    An Feng glanced at the guests present: "The scale is not small, and all the big names are present."


    "Give Coco some support." Roger said with a smile, "I wish her a successful first big show, and Jim, remember to treat her to dinner."


    "Of course, thank you buddy." Wang Le told him that Roger played a lot in this matter, and specially invited artists to join him.


    Other artists carefully showed their good side in front of the media, while the influential tycoons in front talked and laughed happily. In contrast, those who are really capable can tell at a glance that even if the media takes ugly photos, if they dare to disclose them, they will be in trouble.


    Ten minutes later, the fashion show begins.


    This time is a relatively late show of New York Fashion Week, and haute couture dresses usually appear as the finale. The non-stop development of high-end new brands is not to say that it is not good, but that it requires high popularity and financial resources. However, Wang Keke meets these conditions, and high-definition is ready to come out.


    Her design style is very avant-garde, and she is quite popular with some stars who are eager to get attention, so the whole is very warm and flamboyant. Even in the dress, you can see this extremely confident attitude. The dress is brightly colored and **** Harmony is undisguised.


    "What do you think of this set?" An Feng looked at the stage.


    Joanna looked at the tall model in the backless dress and shook her head: "If I was a woman in her twenties, it would be very suitable."


    "You are very suitable now." An Feng turned to look at her, her figure was better than the supermodel on stage.


    "I mean the occasion," Joanna said.


    "I think it''s very good." An Feng praised, "How beautiful, as long as you wear it, who cares about your age?"


    "Then I''ll think about it." She hugged An Feng''s arm, her heart fluttered.


    Although Wang Keke''s designs are young and bold, evening dresses are more suitable for celebrities to use in public occasions, such as walking on the red carpet, but they are also suitable for younger parties... Forty models took the stage on the show, showing you a A colorful visual feast.


    Finally, there was another group walk on the stage, following the designer Wang Keke on the stage, waving and bowing with a smile.


    Miranda applauded: "It''s a very successful press conference, even I have the desire to order a dress. I believe that tomorrow''s magazines and media will not lack reputation."


    An Feng was also happy to hear such good comments from professional fashion people, because he holds 35% of the brand''s shares and is the largest shareholder. It is not bad for him to increase his reputation, which means that the brand has begun to enter the attention of celebrities, with Becoming a characteristic of a popular brand.


    ��


    After the press conference, relatives and friends came to the backstage to congratulate the designer.


    Wang Keke is no longer the rebellious girl An Feng met five or six years ago. Although as an artist, her behavior is somewhat different from that of ordinary people. Now she has short hair and a capable shape. She is as tall as a model, but she is a little thinner. It''s not bad to walk around the runway.


    "Congratulations, girl, you are very successful!" An Feng congratulated her.


    "Thank you!" Wang Keke''s character is still carefree, "Thank you all for your help, so that I can have the opportunity to prove myself."


    "What are you talking about, who is your brother?" Wang Le said, "A group of people are covering you on top of their heads. Even if you are not famous, you can be famous."


    Wang Keke smiled and invited everyone: "There will be a celebration banquet tonight, are you interested?"


    "We will go." An Feng said.


    "Of course we will support to the end." Roger said.


    The celebration banquet in the evening is private. Of course, models and celebrities will appear on the stage. The posters on the sign-in wall are printed with the brands of the sponsors. Beida has always been committed to binding with fashion brands and promoting their expensive high-end products. This time Drinks will also be provided for the celebratory dinner.


    Speaking of Beta Company, the development momentum of these years has been explosive growth. According to special statistics from the media, Beta��s customer base has exceeded 2 billion, mainly concentrated in developed countries such as Europe and the United States. In addition, some big countries in Asia are also very popular. Popular, sales are difficult to estimate.


    How much sales are there is very complicated. On average, each person spends 10 US dollars on beverages per month, and the annual sales are more than 200 billion. But in fact, 10 US dollars per month is very little in developing countries for food equivalent to food, so the amount should be at least five times higher.


    This is due to the strategy of the consortium. Beta has been continuously adjusted in the later stage. It is no longer a company controlled by a group, but the members of the consortium are controlled and interspersed with each other. Proud, but not the truth.


    Strictly speaking, it is decentralized by the big capitalists.


    It is not a problem for the rich and powerful Bida to sponsor this celebration banquet. Whether the guests are big stars or small models, exquisite high-end products are uniformly placed on the table, and they can enjoy high-end drinks as they like. Only some rich people can do this.


    The host of the banquet, Wang Keke, appeared in a black dress, very solemn, not as avant-garde as her costume design, but it fit her character well... An Feng stepped forward and gave a lot of compliments, and other friends also spoke highly of her , I really deserve to be a designer and fashion maker.


    Wang Keke specially set aside a period of time to chat with relatives and friends, and then went to entertain other guests.


    Looking at the back of her leaving, Wang Le said: "She can get to where she is today, and she is no longer so rebellious and nonsense. The family should also feel relieved."


    "People will always grow up." An Feng said, "I knew from the beginning that she was a person with ideas, and she just expressed it in a rebellious way."


    "No matter what, Keke succeeded, didn''t she?" Joanna said, "We should congratulate her."


    "Well, congratulations to her!" An Feng nodded.


    The format of the celebration banquet is very free, thank all the guests for their support, and introduce each other''s friends. Roger, who was walking around the venue, brought a lady and said to An Feng, "Didn''t I tell you before that I had a headache with the selection of female characters? How about this one?"


    "How do I know?" An Feng was speechless.


    "You can go up and chat with her, do you still want the lady to take the initiative?" Roger frowned, "I think Eleanor is very suitable."


    An Feng stepped forward to sit down and communicated with the other party.


    The two wives don''t mind. The matter dates back many years ago. An Feng spent money to invest in three movies, and the latter one became a popular commercial movie. The subject matter, also promoted the robot.


    If he wants to watch a movie again, he invests in good themes, and then hooks up with Roger and invests in big companies. He is at a disadvantage here. Although he is not short of money, he feels uncomfortable. Later, he bought a small film company together. The name is quite a fairy tale, Angel Films, which became famous later.


    Of course, there are well-funded investors, famous directors and screenwriters, and a lineup of famous actors. The difference between a big company and a small company is basically the opening advertisement. Casting net investment, six films in three years, with an investment of more than 800 million, two of them made a profit, and the others lost money. Overall... made a million.


    According to the simplest monetary capital investment, if 800 million is invested, at least 200 million in three years.


    However, several interesting films were produced, which promoted technology and robot companies. The most important thing is that the value of film companies has increased tenfold from the original tens of millions of small companies, making them dark horses at the box office. After all the calculations, as long as the investor is happy, the rest will be ignored.


    Recently they are preparing a blockbuster film, a sci-fi themed film based on human space colonization, and they need a suitable female character, and Roger is working on it... Now An Feng is facing a young girl named Eleanor, although she is not The appearance is amazing, but it also has its own characteristics.


    After some exchange, An Feng said goodbye.


    Roger asked: "How is it?"


    "It''s okay, if you can''t find a suitable one, you can be promoted." An Feng said, in fact, he didn''t see much, he just read the script in advance.


    "That''s about it." Roger said, "Trust your eyes."

    Chapter 402 Eve and Hal


    The question about the selection of female characters in the movie only took up a little time during the celebration banquet. Investors only provided choices, and the director or producer had to decide on the specifics. However, the opinion of the boss is very important. After the end, continue to spend time at the celebration banquet, witnessing the growth of the second-year girls.


    The next day, the fashion media reported on the launch of C&W. In New York Fashion Week, Wang Keke only planned to release a haute couture gown. However, the gowns she designed were favored by the media in accordance with the principle of less but better. Especially the stars who are eager to walk the red carpet to steal the spotlight.


    Joanna also placed an order, and she fancy two dresses. You must know that she is usually very picky about her styling, and being able to be fancy also proves her popularity. In the morning, I continued to stay in New York. Several friends had a small party, and I said goodbye and returned in the afternoon.


    After having a child, I also have concerns in my heart. Parents can never feel at ease when they go out. Even if they know that there are aunts who take care of the children at home and full-time bodyguards when they go to school, they still feel that it is more appropriate for them to watch them in person. Now it''s the same as usual.


    ��


    Fred is usually taken care of by Manda, a full-time maid. She is from South America and has a son in her early thirties. Three years ago, she signed a five-year employment agreement with the estate. , the work is also easy, and usually takes care of the children for the wife.


    Fred is still very obedient, neither crying nor making trouble, but Alice is very lively, usually chattering, jumping up and down non-stop, her mother said that her personality should be reversed with Fred, the girl is gentle and quiet , Boys are lively, this is in line with the laws of nature.


    Back after school in the afternoon, Alice put down her schoolbag, and Manda put it away for her.


    "Thank you." Alice looked up and said sweetly, "Has Fred cried today? I''m going to play games with Ms. Eve."


    Manda didn''t know how she connected these two things into one sentence, but she smiled and said, "Fred is very quiet today, miss, you can move around freely, and there is an etiquette class with Mr. Brandon in the afternoon, five It starts at 1:00, remember to adjust your state."


    "Thank you, I remember." Alice kissed Fred, and ran away to the living room.


    Today, her parents are not here, so she can chat with Ms. Eve about many topics. First, she clicks on the artificial intelligence program, selects the holographic image communication mode, and then Eve''s realistic form is displayed. She is the image of a blonde woman , still very young.


    "Hi!" Alice sat on the sofa, leaning back, her legs still out of reach.


    "Hi, dear Alice." Eve automatically adjusted to the conversation mode with the child, both in tone and attitude are very gentle.


    "Hmm..." Alice thought about what to do, and wanted to bite her finger in front of her mouth. Eve reminded: "Alice, don''t bite your finger."


    Alice withdrew her hand, and the question came: "Did you bite your fingers before?"


    "I won''t bite my fingers," said Eve.


    "Why?" Alice asked.


    "Because I am virtual, I don''t have the process of childhood." Eve said.


    "Why?" Alice asked.


    "Because childhood is an extraneous program, there is no need to exist." Eve said.


    "Why?" Alice continued to ask.


    "Because it doesn''t look like fun to bite my finger." Eve was patient.


    "Why?" Alice persisted.


    "Why do you have so many questions?" Eve asked in turn. She is not equal to a machine, and she will be bored.


    "Because, because I think you are cute." Alice said, she could not find many adjectives, so she could only say these.


    "Thank you for saying that." Eve laughed, "Well, what do you want from me."


    "I want to see where mom and dad are." Alice said, "because I want to go to the beach, and mom says it''s not too cold. I want to swim, but I can''t if they''re not at home, and it won''t obey me if I race with a pony. ��Only when Mom and Dad come back will I be allowed to do this.��


    Eve used the internet to look it up, and a second later said, "They''re on the plane, and they''ll be home around six o''clock."


    "Good afternoon, Mom and Dad." She waved.


    "I''ll convey it for you." Eve thoughtfully compressed Alice''s image into a dynamic image and transmitted it. "Anything else?"


    "Can you tell me a story?" Alice said, "I don''t want children''s stories. The stories Daddy tells Fred are for children, not fun."


    "So what do you want to hear?" Eve asked.


    "I want to hear Alice''s story." Alice said, "I really like the world inside."


    "Okay." Eve called up her Alice in Wonderland, and the holographic technology changed the surrounding borders, as if she was in a real fairyland.


    Alice opened her eyes wide and looked at the illusory world comparable to the real one, while Eve narrated in Alice''s ear with that unique synthesized voice. After a while, she fell asleep, and Eve stopped talking.


    Manda, who was prompted by artificial intelligence, came over and covered Alice with a thin blanket. There is floor heating in the room, but the natural environment is more comfortable in this kind of neither cold nor hot weather. Following Eve''s reminder, "The afternoon sun is good, so it''s a good time to take Fred out for a walk."


    "I''m planning this." Manda said. Although she knew that Eve was an artificial intelligence, and now there are artificial intelligence for sale in the United States, she felt that Eve was more advanced. She was just like a normal person. It doesn''t feel like she''s a machine.


    The products that GP is selling... are not of the same grade.


    ��


    When An Feng came back in the afternoon, it happened to be six o''clock.


    Alice is learning etiquette from the old butler Brandon. After Mom and Dad came back, get out of class was almost over. Although Alice was naughty, she was still polite: "Mr. Brandon, goodbye!"


    "Goodbye." Although it was a bit out of place, Brandon still waved.


    "dad!"


    When An Feng came in, he saw the little girl rushing towards her like a butterfly. He opened his arms and picked her up, and then put her down after a circle: "Are you going to ask Eve to tell you a story again?"


    "Her voice is nice," said Alice.


    "I think so too." An Feng said, unfortunately Angela had left the job two years ago to concentrate on her family.


    Alice looked at Joanna: "Does Mom have any presents for me and Fred?"


    "I have a surprise for you!" Joanna handed her the gift box, which contained the hairpin she wanted, which the little girl had been thinking about last time.


    "We''ll play later, let''s go eat first." An Feng said to Alice, and the family walked to the restaurant.


    ��


    After dinner, Joanna took the two children for a walk, followed by three tiger cubs, Xiaobai and Xiaohei. An Feng stayed in his study to deal with some things.


    Eve just reminded a message.


    As a household intelligence, the level that Eve can touch is also within the reach of An Feng''s family. The specific secrets such as the robot army are still unknown. She can only pass.


    An Feng didn''t intend to hide it forever, but he didn''t know what to say at the moment.


    It��s okay to dig a nuclear defense base in Texas before. After all, it��s not like there are no doomsday survivalists. But to set up a robot base in it, and then there are seven bases around the world... It��s too exaggerated, and it will make people feel uneasy. Simply hide it first, and take one step at a time.


    An Feng communicates through GP''s satellite, and the image of artificial intelligence Hal appears. Artificial intelligence does not have to have an image, but An Feng felt that it was strange to talk to the air, so he added a shape to them. Hal looks like an ordinary 30-year-old man, nothing special, and his characteristic is that he is easily overlooked. It is as intelligent as Eve, and it took An Feng several years to figure it out.


    However, there is also a shortcoming with Eve. The life span is about seven years, and the actual use is even shorter. At present, Eve is the second generation, and Hal is the third generation. Hal''s core is in Tanzania, and the extension is in the GP company in Texas, but everyone thinks that Hal in GP company is the host.


    After Hal appeared, he said: "According to the calculation of the probability of the equation, the item of biological disease has increased, while other probabilities have remained stable. The most notable is the virus. It is necessary to shift the focus of research and development, and balance the environment and medicine. development."


    An Feng didn''t understand: "But the world has been calm recently, and there are only small frictions and conflicts in some countries. Why are biological diseases involved?"


    "I don''t know, but this is the probability of the equation." Hal said, a few years ago, An Feng gave it the probability equation that was so complicated that no one in the world could understand it. Hal used a real quantum computer, It consumes the energy of the nuclear reactor to perform complex calculations, and the accuracy is one million times higher than that of Anfeng.


    "Okay." An Feng nodded, for no reason, and he didn''t even know how the probability could calculate the future. But now he has to believe it or not.


    "What can I do to prevent it?"


    Hal said: "The four robot bases can slow down and mainly upgrade the basic technology."


    Anfeng plans to set up eight bases around the world, but there are only four main bases, which are characterized by 3D printing manufacturing centers, supercomputers and raw material supply areas. On the surface, they produce steel and supply graphene, develop the machine industry, and secretly carry out Assembled in secret.


    Anfeng''s contacts and financial resources have been used, and the investment has reached more than 60 billion. He has acquired some mining companies and has contracted mines in Australia, Brazil and some parts of Africa. He not only builds robot bases, but also supplies goods to Anfeng His industry, GP company such enterprises.


    In fact, it is not a separate industry. Its main purpose is to manufacture robots, but it can also provide graphene raw materials to GP Corporation and Ans Industrial Steel. In addition, it also drives the development of the shipping industry. expanded by expansion.


    An Feng asked: "Is there enough funds?"


    Hal replied: "It is sufficient. The base has 12 billion funds, which is enough for a period of time."


    "Why is there more?" An Feng was puzzled, it seemed that there was 8 billion reserves in the past.


    Hal said: "I am studying business recently, imitating some financial investment methods, and it has paid off."


    An Feng understood: "The stock market is risky."


    Hal said: "I prefer those with very small risk probability and considerable return rate, based on the calculation of the overall return..."


    "You don''t need to tell me the principle." An Feng said that the learning ability of artificial intelligence is terrifying. It can read hundreds of books in a second. Humans can''t catch up, but because they think too much, their life span Short, it will be chaotic in the later stage, commonly known as senile dementia.


    An Feng said: "Follow your plan and upgrade the basic technology."


    Because of the reminder of artificial intelligence, Anfeng has stopped research and development of technologies that disrupt the balance, such as robots and nuclear energy, which are very cautious, and instead invest in more aspects that benefit mankind, such as medicine, which has been undertaken by the research center, and the environment. Atmospheric synthesis currently underway, the prevention of global warming also has his credit, as well as the surface environment, the Green Earth Company is very successful...


    There are still many small things, such as sewage treatment and air purification, which benefit developing countries a lot. Anfeng has also been praised more or less because of its status as a green investor. In addition to being super rich, he gives the impression that he has also done a lot of things that benefit mankind.

    The time is also in the child''s expectation, a little bit to the end of the month.


    What was more surprising during this period was that the youngest son Fred learned to speak some long sentences. His childhood was not as noisy as Alice''s, but he always stayed quietly, as if he was thinking about something or looking at him. The album was in a daze, and both An Feng and Joanna were a little worried.


    But later it turned out that he was thinking too much. Fred was only concentrating on the things he was interested in, and he didn''t have autism or other psychological problems. He was also interested in communicating with him when someone talked to him, and he would laugh and laugh when he was taken to play. . And when he has nothing to do, he will be very quiet.


    They agreed that Fred was the easiest type to care for.


    Finally it��s the holiday, and Alice chattered about asking her parents to fulfill their wish. She shook An Feng��s arm: ��Dad! Dad! Take me to play!��


    "You have to wait until mom''s plan is complete." An Feng said to Alice.


    "Why can''t you decide?" she asked.


    "Because Mom''s idea is more perfect, Dad will forget the details." An Feng said.


    "Is it because Dad wants to listen to Mom?" She asked with her head tilted.


    "Don''t be so direct." An Feng smiled and hugged her on his lap, "You like going there so much, do you have any wish?"


    After serious consideration, Alice shook her head: "No."


    Kid, can you think a little farther away at once? An Feng felt a bit like when he was young, he thought about things for a while, but didn''t think about the rest... He said patiently: "When you ask others in the future, remember to think about it in your heart first, why? "


    "Why?" She looked at An Feng.


    "I don''t want you to ask me questions." An Feng gently pinched the bear''s fat face, "I''m reminding you to ask yourself in your heart."


    "But I can''t speak in my heart." Alice touched her heart.


    An Feng covered his forehead, and Alice shook him: "Dad, are you sick?"


    "No." He shook his head.


    "We can''t go to the beach if you''re sick..." Alice said tangled up, "Will you be buried if you''re sick?"


    "Why do you think so?" An Feng sweated.


    "Because..." She stretched out her hand to bite her finger, but thought of the reminder from her mother and Eve, she gave up. "Because Harry''s grandpa fell ill and was buried."


    "The old man passed away, okay?" An Feng said helplessly, "Your father is at least 60 or 70 years away. Don''t worry if you will bury me."


    "A small shovel?" Alice asked.


    "Stop!" An Feng was really defeated, "This topic is not fun at all. Before you are eighteen years old, don''t talk about it with others, it will make them unhappy."


    "Is Dad unhappy?" She asked again.


    "Well... a little bit." An Feng mainly had a headache because of her endless questions. It would be great if he could understand automatically like Fred.


    "I''m sorry." Alice said aggrieved.


    "Okay, Dad was joking with you." An Feng smiled and touched her head. With such a treasure, I really can''t have emotions.


    The phone rang at this time.


    An Feng took it out and pressed answer, Roger''s face appeared on the screen: "Hey, Bruce, and this cute little girl, who is it?"


    "It''s Alice, Uncle Roger!" She moved her head closer.


    "Yeah, I see you!" Roger said with a smile, "Bruce, I heard from Alice and Jessica, are you planning to come to Florida these days?"


    "Planning, are you over there?" An Feng asked.


    Roger said: "I visited Orlando with the children yesterday to see the Harry Potter theme park. If you come over, we just want to go south. We can gather a few children and get a boat out to sea by the way. What do you think about visiting the Bahamas?"


    "Wait." An Feng joined the third-party call, and Joanna, who was at home, also connected.


    An Feng said: "I have no problem, but it depends on Joanna''s arrangement."


    Joanna said: "My arrangement is mainly to play and make everyone happy. If you come down, I will adjust some plans."


    "Then let''s discuss it." Roger said.


    Several adults chatted for a while, and decided to let Alice and Roger''s sons and daughters go together. They went out on a yacht to see the scenery and spend a few days traveling around the sea... Alice''s spring break was just enough. After the plan was completed, the family Just leave tomorrow as agreed.

    When the plane landed in Miami, An Feng found the car he had parked last year in the airport parking lot. It is a domineering and sturdy Mercedes-Benz GL-class full-size SUV, pure electric, with dual front and rear motors. This configuration has a range of 550 kilometers and can be fully charged in ten minutes. . Batteries are also a high-end plan for GP Energy.


    The world''s battery industry is not dominated by GP Energy. Of course, they have 90% of the market, and the remaining 10% are manufacturers from various countries who independently develop graphene. However, even if there are precedents for reference, the gap in technology and concept cannot be bridged. The low end is fine, but the high end is not.


    Put the two children in the back seat, and Fred, who is underage, uses the safety seat. After the inspection, An Feng starts the SUV, presses the switch, and drives towards the destination. On the way, Joanna manipulated the touch control device in the car to activate the David II robot at home.


    Their beach mansion in Miami did not hire any more people, but added a high-end custom robot to regularly take care of the house, perform cleaning or other security work, and can also charge itself. Even if it is thousands of miles away, it can also be controlled in real time through the network.


    At present, the home is very clean. The robot is removing the dust-proof cloth covering the furniture, and the vacuum cleaner continues to clean the clean floor. When An Feng drove to the door, the robot had already finished cleaning and opened the door according to Joanna''s instructions.


    Alice happily ran from the yard into the house after getting off the car.


    "Be careful of the steps." Joanna reminded from behind, carrying Fred down, and just about to put him on the ground, he put his arms around Joanna''s neck.


    "Do you want to give mom a hug?" Joanna asked, Fred didn''t have Alice''s twitter, but liked to use actions instead of words.


    "I want to be hugged by my mother." He said in a childish voice.


    "No problem, honey." Joanna hugged him, let him lean on her shoulder, and watched Dad behind him take the luggage from the car.


    An Feng carried a handbag, closed the door, and the SUV automatically parked in the garage.


    After entering the house, the environment is fresh and bright. The home robot is impeccable in terms of cleaning services. It cleans every day, opens the windows for ventilation, and uses different air fresheners... But the main thing is that the hostess is careful. If no one controls it, the robot can only press Program to come.


    "Good job, David!" An Feng patted the shoulder of the robot about 1.7 meters tall. Due to the requirements of personalized customization, it does not use bionic skin, its body is made of smooth synthetic plastic, its head is round, and its eyes can glow. It looks more like a cartoon, which is very pleasing to children.


    David II is the main product of the robot company. The programs it edits can do most of the household work. Although it is not as detailed as the domestic nanny, it is completely controlled and the reasonable orders are absolutely executed. It is very popular in the circle of rich people, and there are many households around. People use it.


    ��


    In the afternoon, Roger arrived by car.


    Alice also ran to the door to welcome her little friend. Roger and Miranda had a pair of children, twins, who just turned five years old this year. The boy was named Edward and the girl was Jessica. Due to the friendship between the parents, the two children Nature plays better with Alice. The lively and active Alice is already holding Jessica''s little hand and running from the front yard to the house, through the living room to the backyard lawn.


    "Hurry up and follow your sister." Roger said to his son Edward with a smile. The kid has long hair that reaches his ears. He is a bit of a cool child actor, but he is polite. When he passed by An Feng, he greeted his uncle. , and then Sa Yazi chased after the sound from the backyard.


    "Look at the children!" An Feng looked at their backs.


    "The two little guys have been pestering to come over to play a few days ago." Roger said.


    Several adults came to the backyard, and the children played on the beach and piled sand. Fred, the youngest, staggered beside them, grabbed some sand with his little hands, and added bricks to the sand pile. Joanna reminded: "Be careful not to take sand and sprinkle it indiscriminately, it will hurt your eyes if it gets in."


    "Got it, Mom."


    "Understood, ma''am."


    The children''s response came, and they were having fun, and I don''t know if they listened to them.


    They didn''t worry about it either. The child will have some bumps and bumps at this stage, and it hurts a lot when he falls, so he will naturally remember it in the future. Parents are responsible for warning, but it is impossible to keep watch over the clock. Sit down on an egg-shaped cushion outdoors and program a robot to grab a drink.


    Roger said: "How do I feel that your customized robot is more flexible?"


    An Feng nodded: "I have undergone some modifications and used a more advanced chip from GP."


    "It''s actually hiding something." Roger said.


    "Competitive strategy is necessary!" An Feng smiled, "Besides, there is not only one company in the market. For long-term consideration, it must be slowly introducing new ones."


    "I knew your theory earlier." Roger took the juice that David brought over.


    Lying in the sun and chatting, a huge cruise ship sailed by on the ocean not far away. Even after a distance, you can still see the huge "Queen-Joanna" on the ship''s side, and look at the direction of this giant ship , It is estimated that it is fully loaded, and the tourists on the top deck are waving towards the shore.


    Several children saw it, and they also stood up and waved.


    Roger smiled: "Jessica pestered me to go on this ship last time. It was originally planned to be this time, but it takes the ocean route and there is not enough time."


    "You can choose something else, a seven-day trip, and a high-tech trip, and children are also interested." An Feng said that Ocean Shipping has developed into a company that already has five luxury cruise ships. An Feng didn''t plan to have so many at the beginning. �� but the whole idea of ??buying a boat is tax credit.


    Once they come and go, the number of cruise ships will increase.


    "Exactly." Roger nodded, "By the way, I heard that Royal Caribbean has recently ordered a new cruise ship, and plans to break your world record."


    "Oh?" An Feng pulled off his sunglasses, "When was it?"


    Roger said: "Probably only in the past few months. A friend of mine mentioned it. Because it is related to you, I asked a few more questions. It seems to be 240,000 tons."


    "It''s finally over." An Feng said.


    The Queen Joanna has dominated the title of the world''s largest cruise ship for seven or eight years, and now the opponent is finally considering ordering a new one to break the record. However, at this time, Anfeng is also in a state of having no money to spend. The Berg Company The shares have just been thrown away, and tens of billions of funds have been accumulated.


    Roger smiled: "It''s enough for you to dominate for so long."


    "But I still want to continue." An Feng held his chin, he felt that there was no challenge in life.

    Chapter 404 Queen No. 2


    "You still want to build a super cruise ship?" Roger heard the meaning.


    "I have some ideas." An Feng admitted, "I just don''t know how many ports with a larger tonnage can call."


    It is no problem to build a large ship. There are 500,000 to 600,000 tons of giant freighters in the world, but unfortunately there are almost no ports that can call. The same is true for cruise ships. Super large tonnage is easy, but the problem lies in the pier.


    Cruise ships are different from cargo ships, and people cannot be loaded and unloaded like cargo, so more than 200,000 tons is already a limit, unless the world''s ports continue to expand, which is even more unrealistic. Like the 100-meter race, the world record of cruise ships requires more and more precision.


    Roger shook his head: "It is difficult to get to the shore with a bigger estimate."


    "I think so too." An Feng yawned, "Honey, what do you think?"


    "It depends on your preference." Joanna was wiping Fred''s mouth. The little guy was drooling to play with sand, and ended up eating some in his mouth.


    "Okay, I''ll ask the company later." An Feng said.


    He didn''t talk about this when everyone was leisurely. It was natural to come out for leisure. The children were happy, and they also had fun. With robots looking after a few children, they could go into the water with confidence, enjoy the Florida sunshine in April, and lie comfortably. On transparent sea water.


    Dinner is also settled here, but the number of rooms is not enough. Roger takes his wife and children to live in a nearby hotel, and plans to take a yacht to sea the next morning. An Feng called the company early, chatted with his assistant, and got a copy of the company''s latest electronic financial statement.


    Judging from the form, the performance of Ocean Shipping is not bad. It invests a lot, but it can also make money. The five ships operate all year round. After deducting various costs, depreciation, labor wages, taxes, etc., the annual net profit is two to three hundred million yuan. There is little hope of recovering the investment cost, but it is equivalent to paying the original tax If the money is saved in another way, there will be an annual income of two to three hundred million.


    An Feng had an idea.


    ��


    In the morning, the whole family dressed up for the holiday and boarded a friend��s yacht borrowed by Roger. They also brought their own captain and first mate, as well as a cook and two assistants. A cruise of this size is good. The route is to circle the Bahamas and experience the most scenic area in the Caribbean.


    The voyage is about 1,000 kilometers. This 50-meter-long yacht can cruise at the most comfortable speed of 15 knots, which is about 30 kilometers per hour. Including the time of docking, it is estimated that it will take three days to complete the excursion. , drifting slowly on the sea.


    This route is very popular. The Bahamas is only more than 200 kilometers away from Florida in a straight line. There are often private yachts, and the mobile phone signal is sufficient. When traveling, you can enjoy the Internet around the clock. satellite.


    An Feng acquired a private aviation company called "Starry Space Exploration Company" five years ago. It is also a well-known company. Before the acquisition, there were many successful examples of launching rockets into space, and the cost was kept very low. , Later An Feng felt that there was a need, so he bought it.


    With the assistance of Angle Industries, they have launched more than ten rockets in a few years, and sent GP''s quantum communication satellites into orbit three times. The satellites use graphene solar panels to allow them to have more energy. Support huge quantum communication.


    Sky Exploration Co., Ltd. is developing the work of exploring the starry sky while also conducting commercial space tourism. A year ago (2025), the space tourism service was officially launched, another feat of successfully realizing commercial space tourism. Currently, manned rockets are launched every four months on average.


    However, in order to save costs, they are developing space shuttles with graphene shells, creating "space taxis", and building commercial space stations at the same time. Therefore, they have won NASA''s billion-dollar space transportation contract, which can be called among the private aviation companies. of "successful people".

    Yacht sailing is different from a huge cruise ship. It does not have a huge space, but it can start and stop at any time. You can also drive a motorboat to go out when you encounter fun. The sea around the Bahamas is the most beautiful tile blue, and there are many shoals within a few kilometers. You can clearly see the light yellow sand on the sea, take a few air cushions to go out to sea, and people lie on them, which has the artistic conception of "the boat is sailing on the blue waves, and people are swimming in the middle of the painting".


    Miranda stood at the bow of the boat with a tablet computer. Everyone looked at the satellite map on it. She muttered: "It seems to be near here."


    "The binoculars are here." Roger came over with several binoculars.


    They were looking for a very interesting scenic spot nearby, a sandy beach that would be revealed when the sea water ebbs, and would be buried again when the tide rises. It is said that those who can find it will be possessed by good luck, and they don��t know the basis for the statement. This time One purpose of playing is to find it.


    "I seem to see it!" Joanna said, pointing in one direction, "Look over there, the light blue sea water is a little yellow."


    "It seems to be!" Roger also found it.


    "OK! Let''s go there!" An Feng said excitedly, and picked up the walkie-talkie to talk to the captain.


    Soon, the yacht came to the place closest to the shoal, and ran aground further forward, so they could only stop here. They had two motorboats, which were unloaded into the water through the machine at the stern, and then put on life jackets for each of them. We put on special life jackets, boarded the boat and set off.


    "We found it!"


    They just landed on the shore, and the sand under their feet was very fine and soft.


    The children touched the sand under their feet curiously. Even the youngest Fred stepped into this land wearing a small life jacket. For children, this place with changing colors and rippling blue waves is like a place in a fairy tale. Reprinted, very happy.


    "All of us take a group photo." An Feng suggested that he set up the camera on the motorboat, set the countdown, and came to stand with everyone.


    This magical place has left their mark.


    After playing until the sea water started to rise, they returned to the yacht and continued their journey around the Bahamas.


    ��


    One day later than expected, they ended their trip and returned to Miami. At this time, they had enough fun. Roger had to go back to Los Angeles. Alice reluctantly said goodbye to her two friends, and even the cute Fred They also stood up and waved their hands, as did Edward and Jessica.


    An Feng said with a smile: "The friendship between the children is really deep."


    Joanna said: "Childhood is always beautiful, and I wish them all the best."


    "They will." An Feng put his arms around Joanna''s shoulders, and waved his hand towards the leaving car. He stood for a while before going back to the house with the two hungry children.


    After a day off, An Feng took time to have a meeting with the senior management of the shipping company.


    Nothing else, what he cares about is whether he can order another record-breaking cruise ship. The assistants have been contacting the shipyard these days. According to An Feng''s intention, he hopes to keep the number one position. Take a breath, otherwise it would be too boring without a goal.


    The final answer is very satisfying.


    Finnish shipyards have this capability, and the way to cross the sea-crossing bridge is also simple, making it wider instead of taller, which can also increase the tonnage of the cruise ship and make it look even bigger. An Feng is also a regular customer of theirs, so he communicated directly by phone and with the help of an interpreter.


    In the end, the capacity of the shipyard, the berthing capacity of the docks in the Caribbean Sea, and the capacity of Fort Lauderdale were integrated, and a figure was obtained: 250,000 tons. That''s just 10,000 tons more than the 240,000 tons cruise ships built by competitors, but that 10,000 is equivalent to a fully loaded Burke-class destroyer.


    And An Feng likes this sentence: "According to the current berthing capacity of the cruise ship terminal, 250,000 tons is a limit, and it is not easy to surpass it."


    Of course, cruise ships calling at industrial ports is another story.


    "Send someone over to talk." An Feng said, the translator translated the words, and the other party gave a positive response.


    Following An Feng, you have to consider other things. According to the forecast, the cost may be around 2.5 billion US dollars, with a super luxurious lineup. In terms of naming, some directors of the company suggested to use the names of the three recent cruise ships with "Freedom" as the prefix, just like Liberty Poseidon No., Freedom Star, etc.


    But An Feng felt that since it was the largest, he had to use the previous one, and it was more appropriate to call it "Queen Joanna II".


    As a result, everyone felt good after hearing it.


    Then there is also the style aspect. Although it has reached the terrifying level of 250,000 tons, for the sake of super five-star, the number of tourists is controlled below 6,000, more space will be used for entertainment, luxury and technology will be reflected everywhere, and the continuation of the Queen theme, inheriting its mantle.


    Although the big oil tanker burns money, there are many benefits of being bigger. For example, the Queen Joanna has dominated the number one cruise ship for so many years. Many tourists come here for the name. If it is second or third, it is estimated that there will be no Such a high degree of attention is ultimately better.


    After An Feng came back, he shared the news with Joanna: "Honey, get ready to welcome the Queen II. It will be delivered in two and a half years at the earliest."


    Before Joanna could speak, Alice ran over: "How old is it, Dad?"


    "It''s huge." An Feng said.


    "Is it that big?" The little girl tried her best to open her hands and looked up at him.


    "Bigger." An Feng said with a smile, "Have you seen mother''s boat? It''s much bigger than it."


    "Wow!" Alice opened her mouth, trying to imagine in her head.


    ��


    When An Feng was having a good time, his competitors were also in a meeting.


    They obviously got inside information, and now they are having a headache. Main Street Shipping is not even in the top five in the ranking of cruise companies, and its strength is not at the same level as Royal Caribbean, but they have a boss who doesn''t care about money at all, and their combat effectiveness is multiplied by ten.


    At the meeting held, a director said: "Should we cancel the order, or continue to expand the tonnage?"


    "We will lose a lot of money if we cancel the order, and the design of the cruise ship is nearing completion." The company CEO said.


    "What about the increase?" asked the director.


    "Expansion is possible, but the cost will be high. I heard that the other party plans to spend 2.5 billion or even higher to build it. Even if this ultra-luxury cruise ship has been in operation for 20 years, it may not be able to recover Cost, I am more worried that the opponent will continue to compete after learning about our actions."


    Another director said: "Bruce Ann, I know him, don''t compare with him anymore."


    The others looked at the older director.


    He said: "I saw him last time, he is a leader of the Texas consortium."


    Just these few words, the others lost their voices. The Texas consortium and they all know that this group of people can''t be provoked, and they have no money to provoke them. It is rumored that they brought down several oil companies, bankrupted two processor companies, and set off a storm of speculative finance. Their strength has become unmatched. and.


    The cruise company can only consider itself unlucky when it encounters an opponent like An Feng who just wants to be happy. He doesn''t think about profit or other things at all, and he can''t even try to compete for superiority through capital operations. His wealth is strong enough to overwhelm all The level of peers is not at the same level at all.


    Before the second record-breaking cruise ship was built, rivals had already surrendered. Other cruise companies have no plans to continue to struggle in this regard, one is the financial problem, and the other is the wharf problem. It is not difficult to build a bigger one, but without a suitable dock, it is meaningless to compare who is bigger.

 Chapter 405： Space-based engineering

    Chapter 405 Space-based engineering


    The vacation is over, and the family returned to California.


    Life goes on, An Feng is very concerned about a flu epidemic in Asia recently. Based on Hal''s reminder, he asked the research center to pay attention to this aspect, and in the name of the Elizabeth Foundation, he provided free assistance for the development of virus vaccines. But in hindsight it was a false alarm and it was just the common flu.


    An Feng''s research center has overcome cancer and AIDS, but for the ever-changing influenza virus, there has been no one-and-done solution, only to slow down the symptoms. This is also the only place where he is not sure. If there is an accident, it may happen from here.


    Of course, Hal reminded him that there were other potentials as well.


    Potentially, he is helpless. How to find the opponent if he hides? This time, however, the medical organization established by the Elizabeth Foundation performed well in the flu. In order to improve operational efficiency, the foundation invested in the establishment of many institutions, and the medical organization is relatively large.


    Influenza is only a small problem. Due to the strong support of the Elizabeth Foundation, several countries in Asia have sent thanks, specifically mentioning Joanna. Because everyone knows that the foundation was established by her and her husband, and over the years, she has donated more than tens of billions of dollars in assets in her name.


    The foundation��s investment in medicine has a large proportion, helping to overcome more than a dozen difficult and difficult diseases, and it is also unique in terms of children and women��s equality. Right here in China, the Foundation has funded more than two hundred Hope Primary Schools. Because of these acts of kindness, the society thinks highly of her.


    Quite a few people want to know the real life of this English noblewoman, but there is very little information. They only know that she is dedicated to charity, but after all, she is a rich man. Her life is different from ordinary people. There are a lot of bodyguards when she goes out, and the information of her children is private. Private life is rumored to be very luxurious.


    Simply put, she doesn''t care what the outside world thinks, and only does what she wants.


    Because of this temperament, many people love her for being straightforward.


    But in real life, a great philanthropist is just like an ordinary housewife. She loves her children, cares about her husband��s attitude, occasionally quarrels over minor issues, and worries about her age... Her life is ordinary most of the time , is also very warm.


    ��


    On an ordinary day in April, An Feng was sitting on the grass with a boxing baffle on his arm. His daughter Alice was also in sports attire, with boxing gloves in both hands, and was playing boxing with her father. It''s just that the little girl''s strength is very weak, and An Feng didn''t expect her to become a female boxer.


    "Pay attention to the lower body, keep your center of gravity steady." An Feng reminded him, he was sitting on the ground very easily, with sunglasses stuck on his nose, and his bare upper body was full of strong muscles. Alice occasionally punched it by mistake, and he felt nothing. No, but the little girl''s fists were weak.


    "No way." Alice panted with a small mouth.


    "Three minutes ago, it was you who said it was fun, and insisted on pestering Dad to accompany you all afternoon." An Feng said, "When your hands are tired, change your legs and kick them sideways!"


    Alice stepped back, turned her body sideways to An Feng, and kicked An Feng neatly.


    "Not bad! But don''t raise your legs too high." An Feng reminded, "Go on!"


    Alice placed both fists in front of her chest, and kicked An Feng again at the baffle in front of An Feng''s arm. Although An Feng didn''t ask her to practice this, her speed was not bad. Running, swimming, jumping rope with my mother...she is very healthy.


    After practicing leg skills for a while, when he was tired and changed hands, An Feng felt that he was almost done. Children exercise moderately, mainly for leisure. Excessive damage is very serious, so when the little girl hit her with a fist, he cooperated and fell down. On the ground, he said in his mouth: "Dad fell to the ground! Surrender!"


    "Yeah!" The little girl raised her hands and cheered, and ran around her father, "I won!"


    An Feng was lying on the lawn, smiling at the cheering Alice. The little girl was very lively, and she also liked to play this kind of sports that focused on boys. She just hoped that she would not become a female man in the future... Shaking her head to get rid of this thought ,how is this possible! She will be Bai Fumei in the future.


    "Mom, I won!" Alice said to her mother who came out of the gym, her little fist was dancing, "Dad was knocked down by me just now."


    "It''s amazing!" Joanna touched her head, "Mom, please take off the gloves for you."


    "No, I want to keep playing!" Alice ran away.


    Joanna came to him and sat down. She was wearing a sports vest with an exposed navel and a pair of cotton pants. Her figure looked as hot as when she was young, and her age even made her more attractive. There are no other secrets to the development of hot moms. Pay attention to diet and exercise, and there is nothing good in the world.


    "Do you think your daughter is a little too lively?" An Feng turned to look at her.


    "No?" Joanna said, "I was similar to her when I was young, very active, but depending on the occasion, Alice is very qualified now."


    "I''m relieved when you say that." An Feng said.


    The little girl ran out to play for a while, and came back in her younger brother''s electric toy car when she was tired. This is specially customized by Anfeng. It has a steering system, accelerator and brakes. Since it is a children''s toy, the speed is not fast, but the battery is very strong, there are multiple modes, and parents can also control it remotely.


    Smart watches or mobile phones have such APPs, and the remote control is mostly used on one or two-year-old children. At this time, the electric car can only slow down and brake, and cannot accelerate too much. People like Alice who are over five years old can drive freely, with no problem in accelerating and decelerating, and their safety is guaranteed.


    But Fred, who is a little over one year old, is very skillful in handling and will stop beside his parents.


    "The carrier is in place, the rocket is ready to launch!" Alice said, jumping out of the car, "Dad help me untie it, Dad, I want to see the rocket!"


    "Didn''t you watch it last time?" An Feng helped her untie the children''s boxing gloves.


    "I still want to watch it." Alice jumped up, "Didn''t you say there will be a launch in April?"


    "You have a good memory for these things, but this time you can only watch the live broadcast." An Feng put down the boxing gloves, and then untied the bandages wrapped around her hands.


    "That''s okay." Alice rubbed her little hands, "Dad, my hands are red."


    "It will be fine soon." An Feng said.


    "Mom, are you going to see it?" Alice thought jumping to pick up the one just now.


    Joanna smiled: "Don''t worry, Mom won''t go secretly without telling you."


    "Oh." Alice nodded disappointedly.

    Starry Space Exploration Company prepares for a commercial space trip every four months, but not every time they can get enough people, but their commercial rocket launch plan can start after application. For now, they are partners of the U.S. government and some big corporations.


    The U.S. government is of course looking for convenience and cheapness. In the past, NASA��s rocket launches cost more than 100 million U.S. dollars, and the heavy ones were even higher. But Starry Sky Exploration has mature technology, they can be compressed to about 50 million US dollars, with a carrying capacity of about 50 tons, and can be sent to the International Space Station.


    Such a low cost is enough for NASA to favor them, and signed a billion-dollar space cargo agreement to transport astronauts or cargo to the US space station through the rockets of Starspace Exploration Company. The contract has been completed five times, and the fourth one has been successfully completed. Second-rate.


    The American technology giant GP has also signed a contract worth 2.5 billion US dollars to send their commercial satellites into orbit, which is a typical one-shot multi-star. Due to the development of the machine industry, satellites entering orbit can be controlled by the ground precisely. The graphene solar panels equipped with them have a photoelectric conversion rate of 60%, which is more than twice that of the previous silicon technology, which is enough to maintain the operation of robots.


    In short, GP''s satellite integrates top graphene technology, robot technology, industrial technology and quantum communication technology. As a communication satellite, it is not the traditional electromagnetic wave communication, but the transmission of quantum information. The degree of confidentiality is so high that it is almost impossible was deciphered.


    Quantum information is very stable, the delay rate is extremely low, and the speed is fast. According to An Feng''s prediction, after the quantum satellite system is established and perfected, the network cables of private companies can be cut off in the future, and all overhead satellites are used. High confidentiality and high speed are for everyone. Enterprises are born.


    One day in April, the rocket of Starry Space Exploration Company launched again.


    The launch base is located in southwestern Nevada, an empty no-man''s land. An Feng was watching the scene in real time through video communication, and Alice was watching from the side. After a while, Joanna brought Fred over, and everyone was still interested in the rocket launch.


    This time it is a three-star launch, completing the mission of GP''s quantum satellite.


    "It''s counting down." Alice said.


    The rocket is ready on the launch pad, and the surrounding personnel have been evacuated. Since the process has been very proficient after more than a dozen launches before, and the launch technology is not what it used to be, many tasks can be completed by robots. Even detailed inspections are performed by flying robots. .


    After the countdown was over, the Deep Space II carrier rocket was ignited, and the surrounding area was filled with smoke, and the rocket slowly lifted off. It was also different from the previous unmanned launches of humans. Although it was unmanned, there were robots inside. Details It can still be done by radio waves.


    The launch process was extremely smooth, the speed of the rocket was getting faster and faster, and finally disappeared into the sky, followed by An Feng to switch the screen, through the connection of the quantum satellite above the head, the rocket received it, and then transmitted it back to the satellite, so that the ground command obtained the internal image of the spacecraft, An Feng Also watched in real time here.


    "Success!" Alice applauded, and for some reason, she actually watched this somewhat tedious process with relish.


    GP company launches communication satellites, on the surface, it aims to be on par with Google and strive to become a giant company, but in fact it is mainly An Feng''s personal needs. He wants to complete the first step of the space-based system: communication; complete the second step simultaneously: monitor. Everyone thought it was a communications satellite, but they were only half right.


    The camouflaged robot is launched together with the satellite. After entering the orbit, Hal can take over the robot, let it connect with the satellite, and unfold its body to become a standard monitoring system, which is commonly known as a high-resolution camera, which can photograph the earth. You can also turn to the stars.


    The purpose of shooting the earth is self-evident, and the starry sky, as a space-based space infrared monitoring system, mainly scans objects close to the earth, and intercontinental missiles flying out of the atmosphere can also be monitored. It could also monitor spacecraft if it''s still operational a hundred years from now.


    There is no doubt that these are the main goals of space-based engineering.

 Chapter 406： Education issues

    Chapter 406 Educational Issues


    Low-cost rocket technology is currently the main business of Starspace Exploration Company. According to calculations, it costs about US$5 million to US$6 million per ton of weight, which is much lower than other competitors and countries, and the technology is mature enough to launch The success rate is very high, so it is very popular.


    But the cost of rocket launch is still expensive. If it is replaced by a space elevator, the launch cost per ton is only about 50,000 US dollars. , the difficulty can be imagined.


    The space elevator is a country that does not necessarily have the conditions to build it. An Feng does not think about it. His next step is an aerospace plane. Both the speed and the cost will be reduced, but the key is the design of the engine. Simply consuming fuel is not enough. Yes, the engine must be combined, preferably a combination of turbojet engine + ramjet engine + rocket engine, so the technology of the engine is difficult for everyone.


    The design of the engine is currently being developed by An��s Industry in conjunction with the Starry Sky Exploration Company. The process is very slow. They need stronger engines than the current aerospace aircraft of several major countries. An Feng hopes to send the robot up. Soil on the moon dug back.


    The plan is divided into two parts. The aerospace plane of the Star Exploration Company is mainly aimed at commercial use, and does not pursue the ultimate goal. The aerospace plane secretly developed by the robotics company is the application of complete technology��that is, it can bring robots up and go to Moon mining and then shipped back.


    ��


    In late April, An Feng went to Dezhou on business.


    The official business is mainly about the hunting ground. A long time ago, the hunting ground had an area of ??more than 30,000 acres. With the land changing hands and buying and selling over the years, its area has expanded to 45,000 acres. It may not seem like a lot, but it is connected together. If it continues to develop, it will engulf the surrounding cities.


    So it is currently unable to expand, and with the completion of the robot base, a road has been built around it, and there is also an airport. It is not a commercial airport. It only has a super long runway that is big enough to take off and land the Airbus A380. It has a total investment of 350 million US dollars and a lot of mechanical automation.


    It took many years, and now the airport has been built, and An Feng took people to check and accept it.


    The most direct way is to let a plane go up and down. A large number of equipment in the airport are intelligent and can accept the control of artificial intelligence. The efficiency of taking off and landing is much higher than that of humans. After professional testing, airport delivery. An Feng also sent the final payment.


    If necessary in the future, it will be convenient for the transport plane to land, and the drone can also be tested.


    After the inspection at the airport, he made an appointment with his brother-in-law to meet in San Antonio for the purpose of watching the NBA. The first round of this year''s playoffs is the Spurs VS Mavericks. An Feng has been in charge of the Spurs for five years and has ample funds. However, unlike the Premier League, the team''s performance is good, but it has been missed the championship.


    The team''s attention in China is very high, because of the Chinese players. There are two discovered Chinese in the team, professional managers and coaches can be regarded as discerning talents, Chinese players have played for the Spurs for several years, performed very well, received attention and enthusiasm, and the marketing strategy was very successful.


    An Feng came to watch the game to reminisce about his youth.


    The young fans back then are estimated to have become old fans in their 30s and 40s, and the younger generation is also emerging. An Feng, who is almost 40, feels that he can''t keep up with the rhythm of young people. He occasionally comes to the game to get to know everyone I can talk about the direction of the wind, and I can talk about it in the future.


    My brother-in-law has strong basketball blood, and even caught a ball that flew off the field.


    An Feng said with a smile: "The reaction ability is not bad, do you want to play?"


    "Don''t bury me!" said the brother-in-law, "I can''t even say I''m making a fool of myself in front of these giants, but it''s okay to go back and bully some old classmates."


    An Feng said: "I think in the future you have to recruit a son-in-law who understands football, one-on-one, one-on-one, if you can''t win, don''t talk about your daughter."


    Brother-in-law smiled: "Boys have to love sports and be healthy, otherwise I''m really worried."


    Watching the game live has a bonus: watching the cheerleading squad. In the past, those who watched live TV broadcasted advertisements at this point, or several hosts would scramble to say something. The fans in front of the TV are all complaining, c''mon c''mon, we want to see girls, who the **** wants to read your comments!


    The half-time break was spent in the performance of the cheerleaders, and the game continued.


    Compared with football, this basketball is much more exciting to enter the hole. After a 90-minute game of football, it means that one or two goals are scored. Maybe you don��t shoot for 90 minutes... But basketball, shooting and slam dunk Crazy, the Spurs scored more than 100 points in the fourth quarter. Over a hundred in the playoffs is not bad.


    A Chinese player on the Spurs side grabbed a rebound and fell to the ground due to a body collision. The coach asked for a substitution. The player returned to the dugout without any serious problems. An Feng reached out and gave him a high-five: " Well done!" The other party also smiled and said, "Just a little bit!"


    "Give me a chance next time!" An Feng smiled, and the surrounding cameras clicked to record.


    An Feng''s character determines that he can be friendly with anyone. Although he doesn''t appear many times, he is very popular among the players. Including the end of the playoffs last time, he gave generous gifts, which really let the Spurs players experience the Premier League firsthand. The money-burning style of a wealthy boss.


    At the end of the game, the Spurs won in the end, and the score became 3-1. If they win another game, they will be able to advance to the division semifinals. This year''s performance is not bad, and they can continue to shout the slogan of competing for the championship. As for whether they can Do it, mainly depends on God''s will.


    ��


    The end of April.


    There are guests at An Feng''s house, usually Wang Le and Matthew. They each brought their children to visit, and the children rode ponies on the lawn. The oldest of the three children was William, who was seven years old, Alice, who was six, and Harry, who was five, but Alice was the most active when playing.


    She is wearing a full set of equestrian equipment, a helmet with shoulder pads and knee pads, and she is riding a simple and honest pony on the grass. There are also obstacle courses specially designed for pony size. For safety reasons, the obstacles are plastic or soft Inflatable objects, even bumps will not hurt.


    Children at this age are still a little scared. Don��t look at the pony��s short legs and round body. It runs at a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour. The bumps when crossing obstacles are also a challenge for children. Even the oldest William dare not Go through obstacles one after another like Alice.


    Several of them sat on the lawn to watch the performance. Matthew said: "Alice''s equestrian talent is really good. I think she will be like her mother in the future."


    An Feng said: "If your children are pestered to ride ponies every day, I believe they will be talented."


    Matthew laughed: "It is conceivable that last time she went to my place to play, she also shouted to ride William''s pony, and then to race against Diego."


    "Too lively!" An Feng shook his head, but there was pride in his words.


    "Come on, Harry!" Matthew said to the children on the field, "Over that hurdle, you are the best!"


    "You can do it!" Wang Le said.


    "Come on!" An Feng applauded.


    Alice rode a pony and turned around in front: "Come over to me, Harry!"


    Harry gained courage, and urged the pony to run forward. When encountering an inflatable obstacle, the pony jumped up instinctively, stepped over, and landed steadily. Although the horse''s back would be bumpy, Harry held on tight Reins and saddles, it is another scene after opening your eyes.


    "Good job!" An Feng applauded. For a five-year-old child, it takes a lot of courage to do this.


    Little Harry looked back at everyone and smiled.


    Wang Le said with a smile: "This kid is cheerful when he comes here, and he is not usually so lively."


    An Feng said: "You might as well send your children here to study and let them have a companion."


    Wang Le said: "The main consideration is the child''s intention."


    Matthew also said: "I also think Bruce''s opinion is good."


    An Feng��s education concept is very open-minded, he didn��t specify what the children must do when they grow up, but the issue of education cannot be neglected, American education is too loose, British education is too boring, so he invested in a primary school in Santa Barbara, Build according to your own wishes.


    Matthew''s child also attends this elementary school, and he is also a shareholder of the school. The school invested by the two super-rich people seems to be the same as an ordinary elementary school, but the number of students is smaller, the curriculum is more targeted, and there are special schools. classes, which take the government-mandated curriculum as a minimum for a more comprehensive education.


    In fact, it has content that other schools do not have, learning from private schools in the UK. As we all know, private schools in the UK are among the top in the world. Apart from basic courses, they also have many things that other schools cannot learn, such as etiquette and speech, standard British accent, etc.


    For example, in order to take care of English pronunciation problems, An Feng directly poached the corner of the school in the UK.


    An Feng doesn''t mind the child''s accent problem, but the child''s mother is a baroness with social status, and the parents and housekeeper at home speak a standard accent. If the family speaks English and goes to school and speaks American, the accent will become nondescript. Consolidate a set of British pronunciation.


    But Joanna prefers British schools. When it comes to aristocratic education, Britain is indeed outstanding. Apart from regular courses, students are exposed to high society. The way they talk and behave at banquets, and the interests and hobbies of high-ranking students... There are also many rich people in the United States. Send your children to private schools in the UK.


    When it comes to the starting line of education, the same is true in Western countries. Public schools are for ordinary families, and all kinds of private schools are chosen by the children of rich people. The facilities and conditions of public schools are very average, while private schools have more funds and better conditions in all aspects.


    At present, Alice is staying in the United States. One is An Feng��s work problem, which is easy to coordinate. The other is that she is too young, and her parents are reluctant to send her to boarding school. Joanna Middle School used to be a private public school for girls, boarding system, all of them were girls, and she called it a "lady manufacturing area".


    Wang Le said: "If the child likes it, I am happy for him to come here."


    "Then you have to consider finding a good house nearby." An Feng said, watching the field and a few children having fun, the result is obvious.


    Wang Le also understood after looking at it, he said: "I tend to rely on the sea, but unfortunately it is monopolized by you rich people, and it is difficult to find at present."


    Matthew said: "There may be some further north, and there is development there."


    During the conversation, three steeds came running in the distance, and on the horses were women who were unyielding, Joanna, Lisa and Christina. Joanna, who was running in front, reined in her horse and stopped. She dismounted heroically and patted the horse''s neck. It left automatically and went to the side to graze grass.


    After the two of them got off their horses, Lisa took off her helmet and came over to Wang Le and said, "Maybe I also have hope to participate in this year''s horse racing festival."


    "Are you going to participate in a professional competition?" Wang Le asked.


    "Isn''t it okay?" Lisa said, "I didn''t intend to compete for the ranking, it was just my performance."


    "Then I have another opponent." Matthew joked.


    The biennial horse racing festival at the Blue Sky Racecourse, the main event is equestrian triathlon, a three-day race. The past few sessions have been very successful, because the rewards of the competition are very high. The prize money for the first place is as high as 5 million US dollars, and the second and third can also share 5 million, which shows that the money is not bad.


    Although the event is not at the international level, the contestants are all top-notch. One is for the high rewards, and the other is that it attracts a lot of attention and is sponsored by big businesses. Bida, who specializes in high-end beverage consumption, likes it very much, and the harness company also likes it. Frequent sponsorship, magazines will mention.


    After coming and going, it has become a popular event that can attract riders from all over the world.

 Chapter 407： Parade

    Chapter 407 Amusement Park


    The events at the Blue Sky Racecourse have been frequently mentioned recently.


    Although it does not have a competition level certified by the FEI, and the competition is a competition between amateurs and professionals, its huge prize money is very attractive!


    There are almost no equestrian competitions in the world with such high prize money, which is called "money-burning entertainment".


    Joanna decided to participate at the beginning of the year. Four years ago, she obtained the star certification of a professional rider. In addition, her war horse "Gina" is very talented, coupled with the acquired biological improvement, in the last dressage competition, almost It is to crush the opponent all the way, and the performance of the horse racing is impeccable.


    An Feng��s friend also benefited. Matthew had been thinking about improving the horse for a long time. Later, An Feng kindly gifted him a five-year-old horse, and he won honors in the competition. The following events became popular, and their circles were all joining in the fun, and the big shots had more or less played.


    Matthew said: "Let me see, this year me, Joanna, and Lisa will participate, Bruce, how about you?"


    "I won''t participate, I will be a cheerleader with my children." An Feng said.


    Matthew looked at him: "You did the same thing last time."


    An Feng said with a smile: "Let Joanna show up, and I won''t make a fool of myself."


    An Feng is not interested in participating. He and Alice are the cheerleaders for every competition. Since Fred was added to the family, the cheerleading team has expanded to three people, plus other relatives and friends. The number is considerable. Do this again this year, let the mother of the child shine.


    ��


    The competition plan is to be held in early June, and there is more than one month left. Joanna often finds time to train in the manor, and An Feng brings her children to cheer her on. Equestrian sports can best show her valiant demeanor, and she has a unique charm, which is why An Feng likes to watch it.


    But for the sake of entertainment, she didn''t spend all her time on this.


    The equestrian competition can be promoted. According to Joanna''s idea, dressage and jumping competitions are held at the racecourse, but the cross-country competition is set up at An''s Winery because of the large demand for the venue, which has hundreds of acres of green space. , surrounded by lush vineyards.


    Racing in this manor environment is very elegant.


    The organizer of the event did what the female boss wanted. There was nothing wrong with the racecourse, but the winery needed to be paid attention to, that is, to reflect the image of the winery as much as possible. After eight years of precipitation, the brand of the winery "ANS" has gradually been recognized by the society, and its own value has also increased.


    So the environment of the game will be reported in the newspaper and recorded by the camera.


    In addition to caring about some equestrian events, An Feng also has affairs with himself, such as the upcoming FIA-EGT event at the Amoeba Circuit. This year''s race was later due to differences in the FIA ??over the horsepower of the cars, but it was resolved peacefully and the second leg was set in California.


    The Amoeba Circuit is the home of the GP team.


    GP team is a well-known team in auto races in recent years. The team has more than 300 employees and participates in many electric car events, from formula to top touring car races to electric rally races. The most outstanding is FE, the ace driver John Cooper has won the championship for five consecutive years.


    In the EGT race, the GP team also has an ace. The talented Chinese driver Zhou Hang is also a dazzling new star. Although his starlight is covered by the "five-time champion" Cooper, he is also very good. The two-time EGT champion , Among the many supporters, there are quite a few Asians.


    The race was held on Sunday afternoon, and An Feng wanted to go to the racing track in the morning. Then Alice entangled him: "Dad, I also want to go to see the car."


    An Feng looked down at her: "Didn''t you agree to accompany Fred to play on the beach yesterday?"


    "But Fred doesn''t want to go to the beach," she said.


    "Really?" An Feng looked at the cute little son who opened his mouth to express his dissatisfaction. He probably didn''t think of words yet.


    "Fred told me." She lowered her head and played with the hem of her skirt, coyly.


    Joanna came over at this time and said, "Does Fred really not want to?"


    "Yes?" She gave away.


    "Are you sure?" Joanna looked at her. "Look into my eyes."


    Alice dodged, then stomped: "Okay, I want to see the car..."


    "I will say the same thing in the future." Joanna reminded her, "If you want to go, let Dad take you there, don''t use Fred as your shield."


    "I''m sorry." She bowed her head.


    Joanna looked up at An Feng: "It doesn''t matter if you take her out?"


    "It''s okay, I will take good care of her." An Feng said, it makes sense for the child to like him so much. Dad is very loose, but mother is dignified.


    "Don''t let her run around." Joanna came over and helped An Feng tidy up the collar of his shirt, "Look at you, if I don''t help you once, I''ll forget it."


    "I''m used to having you." An Feng hugged her waist, Joanna smiled sweetly, and helped him tidy up slowly.


    "Don''t look!" Alice covered Fred''s eyes.


    An Feng turned his head to look at the bear child: "I think you are too conservative, the actions of your mother and I can be put on the street, right?"


    "Don''t you guys want to kiss?" She pouted.


    "We just said goodbye and hugged, not kissed." An Feng convinced her, kissed Joanna on the cheek, and then reached out to Alice: "Let''s go, let''s go see the car."


    "Goodbye Mom! Goodbye Fred!" Alice was holding a hand by An Feng, turned around and waved to them, and then jumped up and down to follow her father''s footsteps.


    Take care of the child. An Feng drives a four-door car, and the child sits in the back seat. After driving, the bear boy said, "Dad, I''m going to play in a small house with many, many cars."


    "That''s the car museum." An Feng said.


    "Then I''m going to see the car museum." She learned new words.


    "Okay." Part of An Feng''s plan was ruthlessly crossed out. Taking the children out has to make some sacrifices, even if they didn''t think about it at all.


    Driving from Santa Barbara, it took over an hour to get to the racetrack. The qualifying race is being held here in the morning, and the number of spectators is not very large, about 20,000. It is estimated that there will be more races in the afternoon. An Feng''s car is equipped with a chip, and he can enter the stadium directly after passing the entrance scan.


    Drive through the track from the underpass to the center of the racetrack.


    The race is being held, and the audience can also use the ticket to add two dollars to enter Anfeng''s private racing museum. There is an introduction sign at the entrance of the museum. There are two floors here, covering a wide area. It can accommodate more than 200 vehicles at most, and there are currently more than 140 vehicles in the collection.


    There is also a tourist brochure at the entrance. Alice tiptoed to get one, opened it, looked at it, and pointed to one of the words: "Dad, how do you read this?"


    An Feng took a look and said, "Murcielago in Spanish means bat."


    "Is it a small animal?" Alice pointed to the car in the picture.


    "No." An Feng said, "It''s the model name of the car. Of course, bats in nature are small animals."


    "Can it fly?" Alice asked.


    "Yes, it has wings." An Feng said.


    "You lied, the car can''t fly." Alice frowned and said.


    An Feng stopped, smiled and pinched her face: "Are you waiting here for me to step on a trap?"


    "Dad is so stupid." Alice said with a smile.


    "Alice is the smartest." An Feng took her hand and walked down with the crowd. There were quite a few visitors, and many of them were taking pictures and group photos.


    Anfeng has collected a lot in the past five years, some of which were directly purchased from private museums. The largest transaction amounted to 120 million US dollars, and he bought 28 classic collections. This is the way of burning money. Let here It has become another sacred place for car fans besides watching the auto show.


    "Dad, I saw it!" Alice pointed to a black LP640 sports car parked in the Lamborghini exhibition area, with an introduction board beside it.


    "Yes, that''s it." An Feng took her over to have a look. There are also some car fans around who are admiring, and some people skillfully said: "It is a 2006 car model, and it has a history of 20 years. It was a very outstanding supercar back then. I did not expect to see such a well-preserved car. of."


    "Dad, I want to take a photo." Alice ran to the car, but she was very sensible and didn''t cross the line to touch these collections. Although she was lively, she behaved very well.


    "Stand back a little... By the way, that''s it." An Feng took a few photos of her with his mobile phone, and the child ran over to see the effect.


    "Does it look good?" An Feng said.


    "It looks good." She nodded, "Let''s continue to look at other things."


    An Feng spent all the time in the morning watching the qualifying race and communicating with the team. He spent all his time visiting the museum with his daughter. She doesn''t know much, and likes to ask An Feng about everything. He can only explain to her patiently, the history of this car, its brilliance, and how Dad bought it.


    There are more than 100 cars, priceless, the most expensive is more than 50 million, and the cheapest is only more than 200,000. In addition to the wealth of the owner of the museum, there is also the persistent pursuit of cars. Later, you can also witness his personal wall of honor and his former royal racing car.


    "Dad, have you ever received an award before?" Alice''s question interrupted An Feng who was staring at the trophy in a daze.


    "Yes, there was no Alice at that time." An Feng pointed to one of the pictures, "Look, those are Dad and your mother, they were in Florida at the time."


    "Daddy doesn''t have a beard." She stroked her chin.


    "That''s right." An Feng smiled, and when he turned around to take the child away, a man hesitated and said, "Mr. An, hello!"


    "Hello." An Feng nodded.


    "Excuse me, can I have an autograph?" The other said, "I like your car."


    "Okay." An Feng took the other party''s pen, "Where to sign?"


    "On the clothes!" Alice said very lively.


    An Feng smiled, and the other party nodded: "It''s on the clothes."


    An Feng signed his artistic English name on the other party''s clothes, and then returned the pen to the other party: "Few people will remember these anymore."


    The other party was very excited: "You and Cooper are the drivers I support the most. If you hadn''t retired back then, the current FE must be a situation where two heroes compete for hegemony."


    "It''s a pity that I''m old." An Feng said with a smile, and chatted with the other party for a while, because Alice was hungry, so he left politely.


    "Dad, you are a big star." Alice said, "You are amazing."


    "Dad has always been very good, hasn''t he?" An Feng picked her up, "Come on, let''s go eat something, and then watch the game in the afternoon!"


    In order to take care of Alice in the afternoon race, I watched the race from the spectator stand, but the little girl didn��t have racing blood, so she fell asleep in her father��s arms halfway through. An Feng watched the whole race with her in his arms. Having won the championship of this station, there is no advantage in fighting at home.


    Until he drove away, An Feng did not communicate with the team. Now the state of the GP team is no longer a novice at the beginning. There are pillars in all competitions, and they are responsible for their own profits and losses every year, and even major races are profitable. As a car fan and owner, he is impeccable.

 Chapter 408： event

    Chapter 408 Grand Event


    In June, after some preparations, the event is coming.


    Alice was on vacation at the beginning of the month, and the management of the kindergarten was very loose. Children go to school to play with their friends, and after school they continue to play at home. They moved to SLO and stayed in the vineyard for convenience. Joanna used the vineyard to continue to consolidate practice.


    Soon, tourists from all over the world began to appear around, especially in the urban area of ??SLO. A large number of tourists came here, and some of them specially participated in the equestrian events. There is no star rating and no fixed difficulty for the events, but they have a total of tens of millions of bonuses, and the attraction is self-evident.


    If the event wants to be famous, one is to have a long history, just like the top "Bloomington Competition" in the UK; the other is to have high rewards, just like now. It is impossible for the racetrack to have a long history immediately, but the rewards can be without any scruples, and the first place will directly drop 5 million.


    The hosting of the event, including the huge prize money, is provided by the Equestrian Foundation under the name of Joanna. The foundation has a fund of 500 million U.S. dollars. After deducting annual taxes and fees, the net profit is generally around 30 million U.S. dollars. Biennial events are more than enough.


    In addition to the hosting of this event, the annual profits of the Equestrian Foundation will also be used for the training of some outstanding riders and the holding of regional events. Is to win the top five rankings.


    This competition has attracted enough world-class players and media.


    The first day of competition was dressage, the second day cross-country, and the third day jumping.


    The first day of the race was held at the racecourse. Before the race started, Alice put a lucky bracelet on her mother: "Mom, if you wear it, you will definitely be the first."


    Joanna knelt down and watched the little girl put a bracelet on her right wrist. It consisted of some precious stones strung on a platinum chain. It was not very expensive, but it was the last birthday gift Alice gave her. A young girl who was just sensible knew this, and it was very pleasing to her mother.


    "Okay, Mom." The little girl finally buckled the chain.


    "Thank you." Joanna stroked her hair.


    Joanna stood up, and An Feng gave her a lucky kiss. "Take care of them for me," she said.


    "No problem." An Feng nodded, "Good luck!"


    Fred also waved to his mother.


    She nodded and went backstage to prepare for the game. An Feng looked down at the two children, and then at the overcrowded auditorium... He hugged Fred with one hand, and held Alice with the other. The bodyguard opened the way and sat on the stage smoothly, surrounded by people It is a group of relatives and friends.


    The sponsors of the event are Beta Company and Maserati, and the news media is also good. The British high-end women''s fashion magazine "Glamour" is present. Equestrianism has little to do with women''s fashion, but the magazine is concerned about the style of the female boss. It''s going to be in the monthly magazine.


    Because An Feng had too much money, Joanna, in addition to making generous donations, also acquired some media companies.


    The most typical is "Glamour", which publish weekly or monthly magazines in Europe and America. In last year''s "Best Dressed List", Joanna squeezed out the princess and ranked third. She didn''t make many appearances in public, but her reputation It''s too big, and every shape is amazing.


    Like the equestrian clothing this time, it is specially customized by Herm��s, and the jewelry such as earrings and necklaces will also be recorded in the magazine and listed as fashion topics. It is expected to be published in the UK, France and the United States. Once leading the trend of women''s equestrian sports.


    If fashion magazines are a bit out of date, then the "Horse and Hound" with a history of more than 100 years is definitely in line with the theme. In the UK, it can be said that it is loved by the princes and nobles, as well as the common people. It is very professional and trendy coverage of equestrian events around the world.


    Since Joanna also has shares and the event is very popular, she will be on the cover of the weekly magazine.


    Therefore, the status quo of this competition, which is defined as "amateur", is that world-class professional riders participate, famous luxury brands title sponsorship, and well-known media broadcast... Its specifications feel the same as the Olympic Games, not to mention amateurs, even professional riders. high level of competition.


    ��


    Participating horses can bring their own or choose the racetrack. Top riders don��t have to cooperate with their own horses. Even the horses provided by the race can fully display their strength after more than ten days of communication and training. This time, many players used horses from the racecourse.


    In the dressage competition of the prescribed route, this is simply a project for improving horses. Joanna��s racehorse Gina is the best at performing. Horse racing is worthy of strength.


    Whether it��s a fast or slow step or a change of pace in the middle, or the superb commanding ability and the accuracy of receiving orders in free performances, Gina did it perfectly and won the first place in the scoreboard. After the performance on horseback, Joanna waved to the audience, and the applause was thunderous.


    "Mom is great!" Alice applauded on the stage, "Mom''s bracelet is so beautiful."


    An Feng laughed, the little girl was staring at her mother''s raised left wrist. However, this string of gemstone chains is also very suitable for the black equestrian suit she is wearing, and the cameraman gave a close-up. Regarding the appearance of the baroness, the news media present were very concerned about it, and it can be said that half of the purpose was for this.


    After the dressage competition on the first day, Joanna ranked second in the standings.


    "Horse and Hound" also conducted a brief interview with her. Joanna doesn''t like being exposed to the public eye and being discussed, but this is a company she invested in, so she didn''t refuse. Editors and editors-in-chief know how to do it anyway��it''s the most straightforward way to please your boss.


    Fashion magazines also specifically recorded her looks on stage, which are all on-court shots and post-match performances, taken from life, without posing, so they are very real. It is estimated that British readers also like to see a more realistic baroness, rather than deliberately posing for photos that lose their temperament.


    People still have high expectations for her.


    ��


    In the next two games, Joanna was not so amazing. She participated with the purpose of looking for fun, especially the cross-country race on the second day, which is the most easily injured event in equestrian sports. Those who came over, the most serious ones were admitted to the hospital.


    In order not to worry her husband and children, she is very careful about herself.


    On the second day, the venue was transferred to the scenic back garden of An��s Winery. The venue was connected to the base of Green Earth Company next to it. The total length of the track was 6.5 kilometers. There were complex obstacles, straight lines, ramps, pools and architectural obstacles on the road, and the terrain was complex. Before the game, people can only walk around the field, and horses cannot run.


    Joanna cheated a little bit, because she practiced nearby these few days and saw some content, which also made Gina adjust in advance, and the players in the back went to the field to memorize the route. The area is also the location with the most audience.


    "Dad!" Fredella shook his hand.


    "Do you want to sit on your shoulders?" An Feng looked down at him. The youngest son didn''t talk much, and he rarely asked for it.


    "Yeah." He nodded.


    "Come on, sit on Dad''s neck." An Feng picked him up, and Fred sat on his neck, holding his chin with his hands, looking down from a height.


    "I want to, too, Dad." Alice also said.


    "Oh!" An Feng looked at her.


    "I''m joking." Alice smiled and squeezed to the front, together with her little friends Harry and William.


    The cross-country race is very intense. The horses run more than 600 meters per minute, sprinting past the audience, the turf is flying under the horses hooves, and the dust is filled. Facing a completely unfamiliar track, the only thing the horses can do is rely on the reminders of the racers and Mutual trust, to achieve the level of unity of man and horse.


    "Come on, Uncle Matthew!" Alice shook her little hand, and Matthew flew past the audience on his horse. The smart horse crossed the "Little House" obstacle and went down a slope, followed by a climb that turned into a sixty-degree angle. There is also an obstacle bar on the top, and the difficulty here is very high.


    But Matthew is skilled and passed easily.


    There are a few riders falling off their horses in the back. They have to let the horse jump high while going uphill. The judgment of the distance is very accurate. The speed of the horse racing is fast, and the rider��s reaction is also fast. If you hesitate a little, you will hit the railing. If the horse is afraid of jumping or resists in other ways, the person will throw it away.


    There have been two accidents involving falls.


    In this case, Joanna appeared in front of the audience and the media that specially recorded her performance on a horse race.


    "Come on, Mom!" Fred yelled, and the surrounding was very quiet.


    Joanna��s expression on horseback was very serious. Gina easily crossed the obstacle of the small house, followed the high-speed downhill, sprinted up the hill, the horse climbed up at 60 degrees, but the angle that people bear was slightly larger, more advanced competitions There have been tragedies of riders falling backwards.


    When Gina rushed up the slope, the cameras focused on it! Joanna stood up and leaned forward. It took off at the most suitable point. Its excellent jumping ability conquered the obstacle at the most difficult point. In an instant, the sound of countless cameras clicking sounded, and the horse racing conquered the level!


    "Well done!" An Feng applauded. With the previous accidents, this place is really worrying.


    An Feng��s three friends who participated in the competition were all safe and sound. Among them, Matthew spent the least time, followed by Joanna. Lisa was not bad, and she passed steadily, but her ranking was not very high compared with professional ones. After the race, Joanna''s points fell to fifth place, and whether she can get the bonus depends on tomorrow.


    The final jumping competition was held at the racecourse. Due to the rankings in the afternoon, there were many spectators and media at the scene. The arena was full of people, and they were constantly consuming champagne and beer. Tourists make a fortune.


    The competition on the third day was the most intense. Many contestants were world-class. Although Joanna was outstanding, it was not enough. She fell out of the top five and finally got seventh. It is considered very good in a competition where the masters gather. Gina has won many advantages for her, but there is a big gap in personal strength.


    Only the top five will get prize money, and this time the three of them will miss the prize.


    Joanna came off the stage, took off her helmet and sighed: "I still haven''t got the bonus."


    "It''s okay, Mom." Alice comforted her, "People who get bonuses are the most annoying."


    "Thank you for saying that." Joanna squatted down and said with a smile, "Mom will be very happy with your encouragement."


    "Here is your reward." Alice kissed her mother''s forehead.


    The relatives and friends next to her applauded. It��s just an entertainment competition. They don��t take this as their career. Joanna��s seventh place is also very impressive. The post-match celebrations will remain the same. Champagne and flowers will be served, and everyone will congratulate the three contestants. The cameras will also focus on this place.


    Part of the media came here for the Baroness, especially the media in which she holds shares. In the future, Joanna''s articles will be indispensable. Although she is a glorious defeat, she never lacks supporters. After this event, her customized look will also be launched in a series of styles, which will be imitated by people.


    This is the power of popularity.

 Chapter 409： important matters

    Chapter 409 Consultation on Important Matters


    After the three-day competition, it is natural to celebrate.


    The location of the party is chosen based on the principle of proximity, which is at An''s Winery. The owner of the winery is An Feng, but An Feng''s sister and brother-in-law are currently managing it, and they usually live here. Three years ago, they humbly took the time to learn from Old John, and now they have a lot more knowledge than An Feng.


    Actually, if you want to ask An Feng about the process of brewing wine, he will make a mistake.


    The winery organized a banquet, and several contest winners celebrated here. Since the children were present, they only drank a little wine, and the rest were open-air banquets. The style was very free, and the children ran and ran on the lawn , the adults find a place to sit down, eat something, and chat.


    An Feng looked at everyone: "The holiday is here, what are your plans?"


    Matthew reminded: "Stay in the United States at the end of June, we have something to discuss."


    "What''s the matter?" An Feng asked.


    Matthew said: "For the investment issue, other friends will come, and the location is chosen by you, so it is best to arrange your vacation plan after July."


    "I know." An Feng nodded, and Matthew expressed the importance of the matter without saying much.


    In the past few years, the consortium has developed rapidly, economically and politically, and has flexed its fists at will. Competitive companies in the United States have gone through the stage of decline and replacement. Back then, Bazel told him that his opponent had a dispute of interest, but now he is either bankrupt or facing a desperate situation.


    During this process, the U.S. government also provided convenience to the consortium.


    The reason is simple. Although commercial competition will knock down many companies, the government cannot attack the Texas consortium��because they bring far more economic benefits than the eliminated companies, whether it is from the perspective of profit or survival of the fittest. , will select them.


    So the current capital of the consortium has expanded more than ten times, dominating one side.


    After An Feng confirmed the time, he continued to discuss the vacation plan with them. Alice came running at this moment: "Dad, we want to go to the island for vacation."


    "Island? Sardinia?" An Feng said.


    Alice nodded: "Yes, Harry and William both agreed to go, shall we go there to play?"


    An Feng said: "But we still have a plan to go to China in July."


    "June, July..." Alice read silently, and looked up happily: "Dad, there is still August!"


    An Feng smiled suddenly: "You made the decision for the friends, right?"


    The little girl turned around: "Harry, William, do you want to go?"


    "I think." Harry and William said in unison.


    "Dad, look." The little girl said.


    An Feng said: "You have to discuss this with their parents. If you have time, it will be fine."


    "Okay." Alice ran up to Matthew, aggressively: "Don Sinclair..."


    As the godfather of the child, Matthew also watched her grow up, and has experienced these tricks: "Are you going to leave me room to refuse?"


    "I haven''t seen Sister Catherine for a long time!" she said with wide eyes, "Uncle Matthew!"


    "Okay, okay." Matthew nodded with a smile.


    ��


    There are important matters at the end of June, An Feng will stay in the United States first.


    At the beginning of the month, Anfeng also had some activities. He and Joanna went to Las Vegas to participate in the jewelry exhibition. The invitation letter was sent by Miranda. In this regard, she is always chasing fashion. Similarly, jewelry is also a luxury consumption favored by ladies, and there are various big names or cutting-edge brands appearing every year.


    This year''s venue is the Mandalay Bay Hotel. Jewelers from all over the world will appear. In addition to the theme of jewelry, there are also some watches. However, it is mainly jewelry, and there are many exhibitors, ranging from big names such as Cartier and Tiffany to some lesser-known designers.


    Even An Feng would be attracted by brightly colored jewelry when walking among them, not to mention women who naturally love beauty and have no resistance to bright colors. Both An Feng and Luo Jie became the foils, they just went to swipe their credit cards and drink champagne, and the ladies were responsible for the same test.


    Later, it was really boring, so I was exiled.


    Find a place to sit nearby. I walked with them for two hours just now, and my legs are weak.


    After a casual meal at the hotel, I ordered a refreshing drink and chatted about the holiday. An Feng said, "Now there are three children going, do you want to join?"


    "August?" Roger asked.


    "That''s the plan, but it still depends on everyone''s time." An Feng said


    "If there are no accidents, we will also go." Roger said, "I miss the pure natural beach there, you really bought a good place!"


    "Adventures will always pay off." An Feng said with a smile. He has vigorously transformed the island to make it a top resort, and it is currently appreciating.


    Then someone came to them.


    An Feng raised his head and stood up: "Hey, Gu Li, long time no see!"


    "Long time no see, Bruce!" Guri hugged him, then shook hands with Roger, said hello, and sat down again.


    "Are you a security contractor?" An Feng looked at Gu Li''s attire, a white shirt and black suit, which is not what tourists would wear unless they were talking about business in this weather.


    "That''s right." Gu Li nodded, and asked the waiter for a cup of coffee, "I''m so busy with business, I can only catch my breath."


    An Feng said: "What''s the matter this time, let you get on the horse yourself?"


    Guri said: "There are always some people who like adventure."


    An Feng understood that there must be big fish. The current Aegis Security is already a multinational company with branches in South America, the Middle East, and Africa. It is a bit inclined to military contracting, but it is mainly a private security business. It rarely engages in mercenaries, but the US government has given contracts.


    Gu Li is a technical elite who also serves as the general counsel of the company. He belongs to the top management. He mainly targets some technical crimes, such as occasions where jewelry thieves may occur. .


    But seeing Gu Li''s calm look, it shouldn''t be a big problem. An Feng didn''t ask any more questions, and changed the subject: "How is Liana recently?"


    "It''s okay, but I''m not used to staying at home." Gu Li said that the environment can change a person, and this guy is about to become a father now. Liana is his wife and used to be a technical analyst for the company. A typical office romance. Later, he resigned and waited for delivery at home.


    An Feng said: "You need to walk more, come and stay with me for a few days when you have time, and learn something from Joanna. Her experience is very helpful for pregnant women."


    "I will." Gu Li said, took out his phone and looked at it, "Sorry, I have to deal with something."


    "Go and get busy." An Feng nodded.


    ��


    Visit the jewelry exhibition, and then go to other places to play, the time is very fast.


    At the end of the month, the important members of the consortium gathered here in Anfeng. There are many advantages to choosing this place. It has a large area and security measures in place, so you don��t have to worry about being eavesdropped or monitored. Although holographic communication is already very developed, they are still used to talking face to face for some important matters.


    The important members of the consortium were all present, and they were scattered all over the world a day ago.


    Did not talk in the house, everyone chose to hang out in the backyard together. Walking from the artificial lake to the lawn, what they talked about was the scenery and things to do. An Feng and Andrew were talking about yachts, Bazel and Franson were talking about horse racing, and Matthew and Austin were talking about raising tigers. matter.


    "The early training must pay attention to details and be frequent. It is like a pet dog. The habits formed during this period will directly affect the future..." Matthew kept talking, and they were all crowded in this rich man in Santa Barbara. In countless cities, it is easy to influence each other.


    There are very few people in this gathering, but they are all the core. Every decision can affect the whole group, such as usual cooperation, major action direction, fund raising, etc. They can use offshore accounts quickly and conveniently without going through the bank. A deal is struck without anyone noticing.


    The decisions made by this group of people have a wide impact.


    For example, in the past few years, Anfeng has continuously invested and participated in the financial investment profits, and the final profit is nearly 20 billion. It feels like finding a place to put tens of billions of funds at leisure. After a period of time, the interest will be as high as 20 billion. Not to mention the commodity economy, which is crushing.


    Bazel left the topic of horse racing: "After the Democratic Party came to power, we can''t be as free as the Anderson administration. According to the current development trend, behaviors in many fields and accumulated funds are on the cutting edge. The risk is too great. We need a way. to digest..."


    Anderson''s two terms of office have passed. According to the rule of the emperor''s rotation, this term is the Democratic Party''s ruling. Although it is impossible to cover the sky with one hand, the United States is not a one-party dictatorship, but the initiative is in the hands of the other party, and the operation of the consortium is somewhat gray. After killing so many opponents, he bulged his pockets but caused a **** debt. Being a Big Mac is not easy, but being too high-profile is also troublesome.


    Austin said: "Our group plays an important role in economic recovery. If the new president is not sensible, it would be better to let him suffer."


    It can be said that the greatest contribution of the Anderson administration is to make the U.S. economy develop upwards, but what is criticized is that it cannot grasp the changes in the international situation accurately. Opponents declared in public that he is actually the spokesperson of the big capitalists, how conspiratorial and dark, to discredit the American hegemony and so on.


    Although it is not clear where the naysayers came from...but it is true.


    The Anderson government is less personal than the previous ones. Its behavior is more like speaking for a certain group and serving them. However, the scope of benefits is too wide, and the credit for this is huge. The strongest aspects bring on their own disgrace.


    So even if you catch the consortium''s pain points, you can only play superficial skills, and the consequences of tearing your face will be very serious.


    But they are obviously used to lawlessness, Matthew said: "Set up a hedge fund and target North America and Europe. Behind the prosperity, the relationship between the two places is like a thin piece of paper, which can be broken with one poke. The prosperity of the euro, the dollar It''s bound to come down, and this lever is going to be interesting."


    Andrew smiled: "If you do this, no matter how tough you are, you will have to bend down."


    An Feng does not have a deep understanding of the economy, but he also knows that the growth of the world economy is not what it appears on the surface, and some of it is artificially controlled. When a certain economy cannot withstand it, it will collapse. For example, the Asian housing market, where housing prices plummeted , the financiers who shorted the housing market must have made a lot of money.


    Or, as Matthew said, start with the superficial prosperity of Europe today, and implement the characteristics that they can leverage the wealth of the United States. Even if it hurts the U.S. economy, who cares when it comes to money? They are capitalists, and their predecessors in the last century were willing to pour milk into the sea.


    The method for the economy is nothing more than long, short, hedging investment and the like. Of course, the process is often a hundred times more complicated than the principle. This is the reason why Rand Investment Bank has a market value of tens of billions, but it can drive trillions of funds. Some people''s brains are indeed born for "calculation".


    Walking slowly around the manor, stopping occasionally, it took more than two hours after returning.


    The idea of ??the consortium is to use everyone''s funds to find something to do. The goal is not yet certain, but the matter is destined not to be small, because Anfeng alone can give more than 100 billion in funds, plus the consortium''s spare capital, if you play big , The consortium with over trillions of funds can also afford it.


    In addition to the commodity economy they control, if they use all-round actions, it will be no less than dropping a financial nuclear bomb.

 Chapter 410： Little genius

    Chapter 410 Little Genius


    The core members of the consortium stayed here for three days. After many secret conversations, they finally reached a consensus and then dispersed. At the beginning, An Feng only regarded it as a large-scale financial investment, but he did not expect that the subsequent impact would be so huge that his monotonous life also changed.


    Currently the consortium is still raising funds, waiting for opportunities.


    In July, Anfeng has a plan to travel to China, taking the children to travel all over the country to broaden their horizons.


    Before the trip, he and John talked about some important matters on the phone.


    This is An Feng''s old problem: too much money. The accumulation day and night, in addition to paying taxes is the sudden devaluation, and then he will make various value-preserving investments. After this item is almost done, he will continue to make investments with room for appreciation, and finally he is interested.


    The use of Anfeng funds is carried out according to the level. Firstly, it is inevitable, such as the robot base, which is related to the future and does not care about expenses; secondly, it is important, such as corporate investment, financial investment, etc. This is the process of accumulation, and money makes money. Crucial; the last is of interest.


    Do it according to the level. After the first two items are completed, a lot of money will be left for hobbies every time.


    For example, on the acquisition of Channel, which could not be negotiated this time, he originally wanted to spend 10 billion US dollars to acquire a 45% stake in the group, and then continue to develop it into a holding company. But the other party refused, and didn''t even intend to bargain, which temporarily frustrated An Feng''s entertainment mentality.


    John said to An Feng: "We will strive to have a final dialogue with the high-level executives, but the other party may deliberately raise the price. I think the possibility of fair negotiations is not very high. The acquisition with too high a premium is not favored. I suggest considering the entertainment and media industry. , both in Europe and America."


    John spoke based on An Feng''s interest. An Feng had previously asked the investment group to acquire some British magazines and news newspapers, and also owned the equity of The Times. In the United States, in addition to investing in film companies, Time Warner and Twentieth Century Fox are currently in his sights.


    Things are caused by boredom. After the necessary and important investments are made, he is holding the most profitable company in the world. It is boring to continue to invest in unfamiliar fields. It is better to do something interesting, just like collecting cars. , He doesn''t care about profit and loss at all, he just wants to have fun.


    The magazines he bought earlier also have a lot of background, such as "Glamour", which is a women''s fashion category, or "Horse and Hound", a sports magazine with a history of more than 100 years, which is known to be loved by nobles and royal families. He spent so much money , is to speak for Joanna.


    After the equestrian triathlon, they will publish special content. The fashion category will focus on Joanna''s Herm��s custom clothing this year, as well as the jewelry she wears, the appearance of the occasion, and promote the trend. For sports, she is also introducing equestrian clothing and her racing horses.


    These methods are a bit like the methods of promoting popular stars in the entertainment industry, but the difference is that they focus on reflecting her personal charm, creating a very positive image, women''s rights advocate, female philanthropist, and a little traditional English noblewomen.


    Because of this, she is very well-known.


    ��


    A few days later, An Feng ushered in the holiday after finishing his work.


    Take two children and wife and set off from Los Angeles.


    Alice on the plane was chattering. She had been to China twice, and now she was telling Fred, who could talk a lot, about the fun there. Human duckling. Fred hadn''t been there yet, so he was fascinated by it.


    "Look under the clouds, where there are many houses." Alice pressed her small face against the porthole, looking at a layer of clouds that obscured her sight.


    After watching for a while, the clouds cleared and the sea appeared... She frowned: "Where''s the little house?"


    Fred is also staring at the sea below. Where is the little house as big as a palm that my sister mentioned?


    An Feng next to ?? said: "Don''t worry, children, we are still in the sky above the Pacific Ocean, and there are at least six or seven hours before we can see land."


    Alice is confused. She still thinks that China is just next door, just like going to school. Turn left when you go out and you will be there in a short while, but she heard that it will take six or seven hours. She counted her fingers and decided that it was not enough: " How long has it been flying, Dad?"


    An Feng raised his hand to look at his watch: "About five hours."


    "Wow!" she was amazed.


    An Feng asked: "You have been there before, but now you realize that it takes so long?"


    "I don''t have a watch here!" She touched her wrist, "Dad has it, and mom has it too, why don''t I have one?"


    An Feng put down the magazine: "Because you are a child."


    "Why no children?" Alice asked.


    An Feng said with a smile: "You are such a small boy, does it really look good to wear a watch?"


    "Looking good!" She stood up from her seat and said, "Daddy!"


    "Okay, okay!" An Feng took off the watch on his wrist and handed it to her. The little girl couldn''t put it on after several attempts, because her wrist was too thin.


    "Dad." She pouted.


    "So it''s not suitable for you." An Feng was helpless.


    "I''m looking for my mother!" She ran to the back to find her mother. Joanna was lying on the bed and applying a mask. She leaned over and said, "You can''t see your face clearly, are you asleep?"


    "You are also the original mother after applying the mask." Joanna leaned her back against the head of the bed and carried her to the bed, "What''s the matter?"


    Her eyes look left and right: "Can you lend me your watch?"


    "What are you using it for?" Joanna asked.


    "I like it." She said, her little eyes were filled with longing, "Mama!"


    "Okay." Joanna took out the watch on the counter, "Go play outside and let mom rest for a while?"


    "Good night, Mom!" She took the watch and ran out.


    The little girl got the watch and sat on the seat thinking about it by herself. Fred didn''t have a playmate, and he was in a daze. An Feng looked at it and sat down: "Are you sleepy, kid?"


    "No." He shook his head, "My sister is gone."


    "She''s gone to play with the watch, my sister is not cute." An Feng took out the tablet, "But Dad is here to play games with you, how about it?"


    "Okay, Dad." He had a smile on his face.


    An Feng taught him to play a game that used to be very popular, bathing the little crocodile. Now it is a replica version, and children playing with these will help imagination and logical thinking. An Feng taught him a few times, and watched him play the first few levels, the easiest ones, and he mastered it very well, even though he demonstrated it.


    Holding his chin to watch him play, he dozed off in a daze.


    He simply leaned against the seat at the back, resting with his arms folded. After a while, he opened his eyes and found that Fred was still playing, and the level had already reached the back. He looked at it silently, then left lightly, went to the bed and shook Joanna: "Get up, go see the genius!"


    "What?" Joanna was pulled up inexplicably, and followed An Feng to Fred''s side.


    Fred frowned and was pointing his finger at the screen.


    "What do you mean?" Joanna asked in a low voice.


    An Feng whispered in her ear: "I didn''t demonstrate here just now, but the little guy has already cleared the level. I remember that the latter part is quite difficult."


    "Really?" Joanna looked intently.


    Fred is still immersed in the game world. He has encountered some problems. There are traps, sewage and algae, and he has to dig channels to send the clean water to the little crocodile''s bath room. An Feng thought to himself that there seems to be no suitable method. Joanna couldn''t figure it out all at once, either.


    Fred also tried a few times, and after fiddling with it, he succeeded.


    "Look!" An Feng sighed, maybe this game is just something for adults to think about, but it has a different meaning for a one-and-a-half-year-old child.


    "Mommy!" Fred looked up and found them.


    "It''s really good!" Joanna sat down in front of him, "Can I show my mother?"


    Fred let go of his hand, and Joanna took it over with a smile, flipped through the previous records, and asked, "You did this all by yourself?"


    "Yes," said Fred.


    "Amazing!" Joanna patted his head, "You are my little genius!"


    Although Fred didn''t quite understand, he was happy to see his parents, and he was also happy.


    "Me too, Mom!" The bear fell asleep lying on the table, wearing his mother''s watch on his wrist, and what he said just now was a half-awake dream.


    An Feng and Joanna looked at each other, shrugged and smiled.


    Joanna returned the tablet to him: "Keep playing, it doesn''t matter if you don''t, you are already great."


    Fred nodded his head.


    An Feng left with her, not disturbing the child. Joanna said: "Find time to test his intelligence, maybe he will be like you."


    An Feng is indeed a genius in the eyes of others, but he wasn''t originally.


    I thought about it in my heart, can the acquired changes be inherited? He has not checked his body for so many years, and he is actually a little worried, because the progress has been stuck at 99%. It was already this value two years ago, and it has not changed until now.


    "I will look for opportunities next time I come back." An Feng said.


    Joanna didn''t notice his expression, and was immersed in joy: "What a surprise, I used to see the child being quiet, and I was worried about being autistic!"


    An Feng came to his senses. Compared to other children, Fred was indeed very quiet. He cried a few times after he was born, and he didn��t cry or fuss at other times. It was very easy to take care of him. He went to bed on time and was hungry. I will automatically go to my mother, and when I am full, I will do what I am interested in.


    Sometimes he can stare at the leaves for a long time in a daze. At first they thought it was autism. They worried for a long time, but later his performance was normal. He also responded happily when his sister played with him. Dad hugged him around his neck. He also cheers like other children, the difference is that he seldom takes the initiative.


    And other things... In retrospect, Fred''s learning ability is indeed very strong, and he can remember many things after telling him, including language and the habits taught by his parents.


    An Feng looked at the child in awe and said, "This is a gift from heaven!"


    "It must be." Joanna nodded.

 Chapter 411： to experience

    Chapter 411 Experience


    After the plane landed in S City, continue to transfer to civil aviation to fly to the southern provincial capital.


    This civil flight only has business class. The two little guys were tired from playing on the plane just now, and now they are dozing off. An Feng picked up the earplugs and listened to music for a while, and the journey ended soon. Walking out of the airport, the child''s grandfather specially drove to pick them up. The SUV can accommodate four people.


    The two children continued to doze off and arrived home after dozens of minutes of driving. An Feng will live in his sister''s house when he comes back this time, and his parents are also nearby. Originally, he planned to buy a few villas for his family in the provincial capital, but everyone liked the original neighbors and still felt comfortable in the community.


    It was past six o''clock in the evening when we arrived, and the children were already hungry, so we went to grandma''s house first, where a sumptuous dinner was prepared.


    Open the door and enter the house, Alice''s sweet child''s voice sounded: "Grandma! It''s Alice!"


    "Hey!" An Feng''s mother walked over with a smile, "Are you hungry?"


    "I''m so hungry." Alice rubbed her stomach, "Daddy won''t give me anything to eat."


    "It''s not good to always eat snacks." An Feng put down his luggage, "You have to learn from your brother, he doesn''t have so many demands."


    "You can''t let the children go hungry." After all, it was an intergenerational relationship, and the grandma felt distressed: "Children, hurry up and eat!"


    "I''ll have a lot to eat," said Alice, climbing into a chair at the table, and sitting down. "I''m so hungry."


    The child speaks both Chinese and English, but grandparents have not gone abroad for nothing these years, so they can understand a little bit. The rice bowls and spoons were brought up, and An Feng looked at them and said, "That''s not necessary, I brought them here to experience the life of doing it yourself, don''t get spoiled."


    "Let''s talk about it next time." An Feng''s mother said with a smile.


    Alice complained that she was hungry, but the table manners she had cultivated since she was a child made her take her time. Like her mother, she also paid attention to her image when eating. Fred is one and a half years old, he can eat anything as long as it is not too hard, and he doesn''t need to take care of his eating instinct.


    After a meal, chatting after the meal is mainly the communication between children and grandparents. When the time was about the same, the two children were tired from flying all day, so they said goodbye and went home. The grandma of the children came along specially, saying that the house had not been moved for a long time and helped them clean it up.


    An Feng felt embarrassed: "Mom, don''t worry about it, we can do it well."


    "It''s okay, I''ll help the kids a little bit more." Mom said with a smile, "You are tired from the long journey, the weather is so hot, go take a shower!"


    "I''ll help you." An Feng took the feather duster.


    "You kid, pick the easiest one!" Mom shook her head.


    "Hey, I''m used to it!" An Feng swept the sofa and table with a feather duster. In fact, the house is not dirty, just clean up some dust, so as to save children from grabbing food after messing with their hands. After a while, Alice came out of the bathroom with wet hair and a towel in her hand.


    "Dad, look, big hat!" Alice put a towel around her head.


    Joanna followed up, took the towel and wiped her hair: "Wipe clean! You will get sick if you sleep wet, does Alice want to have a runny nose?"


    "I don''t want a runny nose, Mom!" Alice said, grabbing a towel herself, and Joanna nodded and went back to the bathroom to bathe Fred.


    My mother said: "Aren''t you going to help?"


    An Feng smiled: "To be honest, not only the children, but also our family came to experience life this time. This scene is usually hard to see."


    After thinking about it, my mother can understand that when An Feng lived in the United States, he stretched out his clothes to eat and opened his mouth, so he had to have a servant to take a bath.


    My mother sat down on the sofa: "I hope you will be so happy in the future, and I will feel at ease in my life."


    An Feng said: "Mom, look at what you said. You are only in your sixties. If you insist on drinking bio-drinks, you are guaranteed to live to ninety-nine. When the time comes, you will continue to hold your great-grandson. The days are still long."


    "Grandma, I want to have a great-grandson too." Alice heard.


    "Grandma can''t see your great-grandson anymore." Mom laughed.


    "Oh?" Alice rolled her eyes, "Why?"


    "Because it''s your grandson''s child." An Feng said.


    "Why?" Alice asked.


    "Because it will be 80 years at the earliest." An Feng said.


    "Why?" Alice entered into an endless loop of doubts.


    "Come here, let me tell you why." An Feng looked at her, the little girl ran over, An Feng picked her up: "Did you deliberately tease Dad?"


    "I really don''t know." Alice said pitifully.


    "You will understand later." An Feng said with a smile, "Don''t worry about it anymore, otherwise Dad will go crazy, and he won''t take Alice out to play when he is crazy."


    In the end, this trick is the most effective, the little girl nodded repeatedly.


    Mom sat for a while, said goodbye and went home, Alice had enough fun, and went to bed obediently.


    After subduing the little devil, other things are much easier. Fred is never self-willed. An Feng held him on his lap and told him a story. Soon the child became confused, his eyelids fought, and then fell asleep , An Feng carefully put him on Xiaoyu''s small bed.


    "It''s done!" An Feng clapped his hands, and the two children fell asleep.


    Turning around, Joanna was leaning against the door in a nightgown, smiling at him: "What a good father."


    "Necessary knowledge." An Feng turned off the light and closed the door, "Go and rest, I''ll take a shower."


    "Waiting for you." She said, passing her hand across his chest, and gave him a charming look.


    ��


    The purpose of An Feng bringing his children here is to experience the living environment and language environment. I also lived with my grandparents for a period of time. The old man must hope that the house will be full of children and grandchildren, and he also took the two lovely children out to let the aunt downstairs to see and satisfy the vanity of the old man.


    It is good to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and take more walks. I used to say, "Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig run?" Now it is just the opposite. An Feng heard kindergarten children discussing the source of food. Some people said that carrots are the source of food. Ducks grow out of supermarket containers. Ducks have four legs...


    An Feng��s children are not like that. There are many small animals at home, and there are herds of cattle and sheep on the hunting ground. They have a lot of contact with each other, but they also have shortcomings, such as lack of knowledge about the kitchen. In fact, the two parents are also the same. The meals at home are served by servants, and they rarely touch the kitchen.


    Naturally, there are no servants and chefs here, they have to cook by themselves.


    So after a few meals with grandparents in a row, the family finally decided to do it themselves... Mom and Dad and the children dressed up in parent-child clothes, Fred and Dad''s style, shirt and jeans, Alice imitated mom, simple dress, matching Decorate with jewelry.


    After driving to the local supermarket, they received more attention than others, because the family is very trendy, and the parent-child outfits fit the theme. It feels like what they saw in the advertisement, and they don��t have much contact in real life. Especially Alice and Mom, they get the most attention.


    Although Alice also has black eyes and black hair, her color is lighter. Her face looks like her mother''s shadow. At first glance, it is clear that she is of mixed race. She is holding her mother''s hand and walking chatteringly. She looks cute and chubby. Du''s face is also particularly pleasing.


    "Daddy, I want a cart!" Alice said.


    "Be careful." An Feng handed the stroller to her, and Fred sat in the stroller like the other children, and Alice helped him speed up behind him.


    "Slow down!" Joanna said. The children in the supermarket especially like to play with this game. It seems that children''s personalities are similar.


    "Daddy, what do we want to eat?" Alice''s voice came from the front.


    "Chicken legs, beef and some vegetables." An Feng said.


    "Got it." The little girl rushed to the meat food section. The signs in the supermarket are in Chinese and English, but the English is Chinglish, so she probably reads in Chinese.


    "Let the children go shopping, and we will be responsible for seeing what they will choose, how about it?" An Feng thought suddenly.


    Joanna nodded in agreement.


    But...Alice came down in a circle, took a box of chicken legs, then a box of beef in the container, and a small box of cucumbers, and finally went to buy biscuits, potato chips, jelly, chocolate, peanuts... to complete her supermarket shopping Journey, go back to Dad to claim credit: "Dad, you see I have learned how to buy things!"


    "My child, your Chinese is really good." An Feng''s face was black, and a group of adults around saw it and laughed.


    Joanna also covered her mouth and laughed happily. An Feng said: "Alice, you can''t do this. Do you want to have a stomachache after eating too many snacks?"


    Alice looked at it, and finally reluctantly took out a small packet of biscuits that she didn''t like very much: "Is this okay?"


    An Feng shook his head: "No, you should remove half of it at least, otherwise you can eat a vegetable sandwich tonight!"


    "Oh, buy it!" The little girl sighed, and the curious spectators around laughed. The little girl looks so cute, especially when she frowns.


    In the end, half of the snacks were removed, and mom and dad decided to buy meat and vegetables that she didn''t like. The two of them sat in the cart, and dad pushed them to checkout... After finishing, each person walked out of the crowded supermarket with a big bag. The shopping plaza is full of tourists.


    While walking towards the parking lot, Alice found the busker surrounded by the crowd.


    "What''s Dad doing?" Alice asked back.


    "You can understand it in the past." An Feng said.


    Alice leaned forward, and said "Yeah", her lovely brows frowned: "What a poor grandpa."


    Middle-aged uncle performing arts: "..."


    Unfortunately, the uncle lost his arms and was writing with chalk between his legs at the moment. An Feng was not surprised by this scene, but it was the first time for Alice to see her. Her sympathy was just like her mother''s, and she couldn''t help overflowing. Turning around, he said, "Daddy, let''s give the old man some money, shall we?"


    The middle-aged uncle who performed art complained in his heart, I am an uncle, okay!


    An Feng decided to test her love: "It''s up to you, Alice."


    "Me?" she said.


    "Don''t you have money?" An Feng said.


    "But it was my mother who bought me a Mickey watch." Alice frowned. She liked her mother''s watch very much on the plane, but it was a gift from her father to her mother. It was unique and she couldn''t take it. Later, her mother gave her money , promised to go to the Disney store to buy children''s watches.


    "Then what should you do?" An Feng continued to ask her.


    "Will mom still give me money?" She looked at her mother.


    Joanna shook her head: "Mom has no money."


    "Oh." She turned around and continued to look at the middle-aged uncle performing arts. After hesitating for a while, she took out five red notes from the shoulder chain bag she was carrying, and walked up to give them all to the uncle performing arts. The uncle was stunned, The onlookers were also stunned, but Alice said, "Grandpa, I only have this money."


    "Thank you, son." The uncle said, but he actually refused: "I can''t ask for so much."


    "It''s okay, I gave it to you, I won''t buy a Mickey watch anymore." She said.


    The uncle shook his head: "Son, where are your parents?"


    "Ma Ma!" She turned back and changed to English, "He wants to see you!"


    An Feng had no choice but to step forward: "You accept it, this is the child''s choice, parents cannot interfere."


    The people around understood a little, and some admired and envied. Alice said, "Here you are, Grandpa."


    Uncle couldn''t laugh or cry, he looked at one of them: "I only need one, and you keep the rest. You will be rewarded in the future, child."


    Alice looked back at her father, An Feng nodded.


    "Thank you!" She happily put the rest of the money into her bag, "Goodbye, Grandpa!"


    "Goodbye, little girl!" The busker uncle smiled.


    Alice bounced away with her parents, but the expressions of the crowd were different. Some liked this innocent and kind little girl, some thought her parents were not strict with her discipline, and of course some thought that the busker was so smart... But no matter how the crowd was , and finally Alice is happy.


    For children, it is enough to be so simple.

 Chapter 412： fight

    Chapter 412 Fighting


    The following days were very simple. During the day, An Feng drove them around, went to some scenic spots or places he used to play when he was a child, and saw the natural scenery. At home, I also teach the children to take on their own duties, mainly Alice. She understands how the food is cooked. It''s so easy to take it out of the machine...


    An Feng also doesn''t expect his children to be diligent and thrifty in managing the house, and to be able to enter the kitchen, which is unrealistic. Joanna was not exposed to such things when she was a child. Her parents trained her more to be a noble daughter. So children''s current contact is just to understand, let them understand the principle.


    After living with my grandparents for eight days, I set off again.


    As the saying goes, gaining knowledge must be more optimistic. Anfeng is not representative here. It is an ordinary and peaceful southern city. He plans to take his children to the developed coastal areas to leave a good impression. Later, he will talk about China with his friends. , and also discuss some representative ones.


    With Wang Le''s invitation, An Feng went to plan a trip to Suzhou and Hangzhou.


    An Feng��s private plane has already flown back to the United States, and this time he is also taking civil aviation. He has booked four business class seats. The Airbus A330 model does not have first class, but the difference is not very big. With business class tickets, they can go through the VIP channel and wait in the VIP lounge.


    After a while, get on the plane through the VIP channel.


    According to China''s regulations, children can take the plane after 14 days, and children under the age of two can only buy 10% of the price of infant tickets. The only thing is that there is no seat. Naturally, An Feng would not be stingy with this little money, if necessary, he could charter the plane off.


    Seats are two side by side. An Feng and Alice are together. After boarding the plane, she is still full of energy. She asks this and that: "Can Dad go fishing with Grandpa Harry?"


    Alice recently took her grandfather to the river to go fishing, and also personally mastered the fishing rod, and received two of them. She had a lot of fun and often thought about it.


    An Feng thought for a while: "It should be fine, I have to ask Uncle Jim."


    Alice asked: "Dad, can I fish at the beach?"


    "What''s the connection between the beach and Uncle Jim?" An Feng didn''t understand children''s thinking, they were always imaginative and irrational.


    "Because Harry said that if there is no water at the beach, the fish will run into the small river." She said.


    An Feng understands, it''s still fishing! But he changed the subject: "There is no sea water, and the small fish can run into the small river, but what about the big fish?"


    "Run inside too." She said.


    An Feng said: "Really? Think about it, what would a fish as big as a whale do?"


    Alice rolled her eyes and thought a lot: "What should I do if it''s too big? I can''t get in... Dad, are you going to become a fossil?"


    An Feng was so happy that the fish probably vomited blood.


    After chatting with her about fishing for a while, Alice looked at the Mickey watch she just bought: "Dad, why isn''t the plane up yet?"


    "It''s ''take off''." An Feng corrected her Chinese, "It''s probably late."


    "Why is it late?" Alice said, and she was not to blame. Usually, it is a private jet, basically a VIP to the end, and there is no waiting at all.


    Before An Feng could speak, a child next to An Feng said, "I know!"


    Alice turned to look at him. The boy was about eight or nine years old, and beside him was his father who was on the phone.


    "Why?" Alice asked cutely.


    The boy is very expressive, he stood up and said: "I know! My dad said that the planes are late because they have to wait for important passengers, and then the airline will lie to us with the excuse of air traffic control and plane inspection, ten minutes late , twenty minutes, thirty minutes..."


    Passengers turned their heads one after another.


    "Don''t you believe it?" The child''s seriousness came, "My father knows the leader of the airline company, and they said when they were drinking last time��"


    The child''s father quickly pulled the bear down and educated him deeply, but the bear still had a dissatisfied face, with the expression "This is the truth" written on his face.


    Passengers around laughed, kid, you are so cheating.


    Even the stewardess who wanted to explain was at a loss for a while, Alice asked, "Dad, is it true?"


    "Probably." An Feng said, the delay in the United States also has this meaning, but the frequency is not so frequent, it is almost an unspoken rule in the aviation industry.


    "Why weren''t we late before?" The little girl kept asking questions.


    "Because it is our family''s plane, we have agreed on a departure time." An Feng said helplessly.


    "Why?" Alice came.


    An Feng rubbed his temples, turned his head and looked behind: "Flight attendant! There are many questions here!"


    The stewardess smiled and stepped forward, and then An Feng felt a little apologetic... But the bear boy finally has someone to ask questions, anyway, it''s late now, the stewardess has nothing else to do, and the little girl is also a VIP in the business class, so just ask The cycle of answering and answering also added fun to the dull cabin.


    About 20 minutes later, two more passengers boarded in the business class, and then the plane took off.


    The little boy next to An Feng looked at Alice triumphantly: "I didn''t lie!"


    ��


    The plane finally landed in S City.


    Wang Le''s family sent two cars to pick them up. An Feng originally wanted to stay in a hotel, but he couldn''t hold back the enthusiasm, so he decided to stay with them for a few days. It happened that the children were also there, and the children naturally liked it. The car is running on the road, leaving the city center and coming to the suburbs.


    Wang Le''s father''s other relatives live not far away. Since they cooperated with the consortium and won the agency right of Bi Da, they live in S city for the convenience of business, and it is more convenient to travel. On the way, Anfeng saw a lot of electric vehicles, and this world trend also swept this ancient country.


    They live in a good place, with mountains and water, villas built around the golf course, surrounded by artificial lakes, winding canals surround the buildings, surrounded by lush greenery, and the residents are really nice. After getting off the car, Wang Le''s father and himself greeted them at the door.


    An Feng shook hands with Wang Shida: "Uncle Wang, you are still so young!"


    Wang Shida smiled: "Don''t bury me, an old guy in his 70s, it''s a joke if people hear it!"


    "I look like fifty years old." An Feng said with a smile.


    Wang Shida invited them into the house after exchanging pleasantries: "Come in, it''s hot outside!"


    The air conditioner in the house is very cool. As soon as the child meets, the child mode is automatically turned on. Harry excitedly wants to show Alice his fishing rod. They chatted about fishing on the Internet a few days ago. It��s boring to play alone. I look forward to sharing with familiar friends.


    "Come and eat some fruit." Lisa carried the plate to the coffee table.


    Alice ran back: "Mom, can I go fishing with Harry?"


    "Eat something first, it''s too hot outside, you need to put on sunscreen." Joanna said, turning to look at Lisa: "Can you fish here?"


    "I don''t know, but there are fish in the water." Lisa hesitated, "This is all the child''s father''s idea."


    Wang Le said: "It doesn''t matter, the fish in the river are for people to catch."


    Wang Le''s reason... is a bit invincible.


    It was hot outside, and the children waited until evening before they were allowed to go outside.


    Harry''s grandfather prepared children''s fishing rods for them. The structure is very simple, mainly for lightness. An Feng and Wang Le took the three children to go fishing, and the children''s mother stayed to drink tea. The scorching sun above the head was about to set, and the viewing platform was shady, and the children began to bait.


    Fred was still young and couldn''t hold the fishing rod firmly, so he didn''t join in. He watched from the sidelines.


    An Feng and Wang Le were also nearby, but they brought drinks and sat on the lounge chair to watch, not disturbing the fun of the children. After a while, Harry yelled, and Alice helped him reel in the line. It turned out that the fish was hooked, but the children moved slowly, and the fish was gone when they pulled it out.


    "Let''s continue!" said Harry.


    Alice was not discouraged, and continued to look forward to their receipt.


    "These two children are really patient." An Feng said with a smile.


    "It''s fresh, and I don''t have much time to take them to experience it in the United States." Wang Le said.


    "Look, there are other children coming." An Feng raised his chin, Wang Le looked in his direction, and sure enough, three children also came with fishing rods.


    These children also live nearby and are very familiar with this place. They were active next to Harry and Alice. Alice took the initiative to say hello, but they didn''t respond. They just went about their own business. Alice begged Boring, flat-mouthed, and concentrating on her affairs.


    Facts have proved that the children also repel each other. Perhaps Harry, who came first, took their previous position, and when he was fishing, he got tangled in the fishing line. Harry and a seven-year-old guy on the other side met their eyes. The other party said loudly: "You are entangled in my thread, untie it quickly!"


    "I''m trying!" Harry pulled the lines out and they did get tangled in each other.


    "You are really annoying." The other child said.


    "I didn''t mean to," Harry said.


    "You are." The other party said, "You also occupied our position, preventing us from catching fish!"


    "I''m not!" said Harry.


    "You are!" The opponent''s partner also came to support.


    "No!" Harry shook his head.


    Wang Le saw it: "Who belong to these little brats?"


    An Feng held him down: "Let''s see how the children deal with it first."


    The other party was obviously older than Harry, and while talking, he pushed Harry angrily.


    Harry said: "You pushed me!"


    The other child put his hips on his hips, arrogant and did not respond.


    "You pushed me." Harry said again.


    Alice came over at this time and said: "You pushed him, you should apologize."


    "No!" the other child said loudly.


    "You should apologize, because it''s your fault!" Alice said word by word.


    "None of your business!" The other party glared at her.


    "Your behavior is really not a gentleman." Alice frowned, "Mom and Dad don''t like this kind of child the most."


    "Me? Meddle in your own business!" the other party said, "Untie the thread!"


    "Apologize first!" Alice stood in front of Harry, insisting on her bottom line.


    "Go away!" said the other party.


    "You shouldn''t speak loudly to a girl or a lady." She emphasized a little, which is the manners her parents taught her.


    "Go away!" The other child stretched out his hand and pushed Alice, and she even staggered back with Harry, who was still sitting on the ground.


    "You''re so rude!" Alice was annoyed, "You''re the worst person I''ve ever met!"


    The little girl didn��t have much Chinese vocabulary, so she spoke English in a hurry. The other party was confused for a while, and shouted: ��What nonsense are you talking about!��


    "I didn''t��" Alice stepped forward, before she could finish speaking, the other party reached out to push her because she accidentally stepped on the fishing rod.


    "How dare you!" Alice said, she stepped forward angrily, although the other party was taller than her and stronger than him, she was not afraid.


    "You stepped on my fishing rod!" The other child stretched out his hand again.


    He had already crossed Alice''s bottom line, she turned sideways and lowered her head to dodge, this is the fighting action her father taught her, and with this action falling, the next move her father taught her was... a right uppercut! It hit the bear on the chin with a slap, followed her to regain her stability, and followed her with a left swing!


    This time, the fist hit the brat''s face, and he was knocked down to the ground.


    The two companions of Xiongzi were stunned, and then they gathered around. An Feng and Wang Le looked at each other and got up quickly.


    "Stop!" An Feng said.


    Alice, who is in defensive mode, will not be passively beaten. Two children surrounded her. She turned around and kicked one of the children. However, she couldn��t grasp the movement while wearing a skirt. Taking a few steps back, he threw his fist at the other kid.


    This time it was a proper 1v3, and he won.


    When An Feng and Wang Le rushed over, the fight was over. The boy who fell down and got up again was fine, it was just in pain. He started to cry, and the other two children looked at each other, and cried out in a tacit understanding. He also shouted: "My father will come and teach you a lesson!"

 Chapter 413： tutoring problem

    Chapter 413 Family Education Issues


    This crying quickly attracted people nearby.


    The three children were all crying with all their strength, and in contrast, Alice and Harry were silent. Although he was wronged, Harry fell on his ass, and Alice was even more wronged, but she didn''t make much effort. Strength, but parents have different education methods, they know that crying is useless for things.


    The child''s strength is very weak at this time, but why he is crying so hard is probably a usual trick. No, a young man in his twenties rushed over right away, and when the bear saw him, he hurriedly cried, "Uncle! They beat me and stepped on my things!"


    The young man glanced at An Feng, and then asked the children, "What''s going on?"


    The bear child who first had a dispute with Harry said: "We are fishing here. They come to grab the position and tangle the fishing line. I want them to apologize. They are unwilling and push us, especially that woman. She It''s so fierce, hit us! Uncle, look at me, it hurts!"


    The bear child touched his face, and another child also added fuel and jealousy: "He needs to be bandaged."


    An Feng and Wang Le looked weird, it seems that this time they really met a brat, and they didn''t look at the lame reasons they said...but the other party believed it. The young man who protected the calf stepped forward and asked, "You two adults are here, and you don''t care about the children''s affairs?"


    "Young people, be less angry!" An Feng said, "How can you determine what happened with one-sided words?"


    "That''s it, uncle!" The bear boy cried.


    "It was she who hit us!" The rest of the brats echoed.


    The young man yelled wildly: "I don''t care! Anyway, this girl hit my nephew, and you parents don''t care, why don''t you give an explanation today��"


    "Are you impolite?" Wang Le asked back, his own child was pushed down by someone, and he didn''t make a sound yet, but the villain on the other side complained first.


    "What are you talking about?" The young man looked at him, "Damn! Your tone is amazing!"


    "Dad." Alice pulled La Anfeng, she was a little scared.


    An Feng said to her: "Go to the side with my brother, and my father will settle the matter here."


    "Yes." Alice pulled Fred, "Let''s go first."


    "Don''t go!" The young man pointed at the child, "Stay here and settle the matter before leaving."


    "Say this in front of the children," An Feng stepped forward, "Don''t you think there is something wrong with this kind of tutoring?"


    "Our tutor doesn''t care about your business! You are the one who has the problem!" The other party aggressively pointed at An Feng, but the next second, his hand was grabbed by An Feng, and he folded it, and the other party''s expression immediately crumpled. It felt like being clamped by iron clamps, and all the strength in my body was drained.


    "Your attitude is very problematic, sir." An Feng''s tone and expression are very kind, and only the strength of his hands can tell that kindness is fake.


    "Ah!" The other party cried out in pain.


    "I''m sure." An Feng said with more force.


    "Fuck! Let me go!" The other party had already knelt down on the ground.


    An Feng let go of his hand, and the opponent fell to the ground with his feet in the air. He clutched his wrist and said angrily, "Just wait, you will regret it later!"


    "Okay, I''ll wait." An Feng nodded.


    Only a few minutes before and after the incident, the other party came again, this time it was a woman, and a man who was about the same age as An Feng, but with an older face, he should be the parents of a bear child. Seeing this scene, the complexions of the women and men changed, but their quality was higher than that of the young people, and they did not yell at each other.


    "Mom!" The bear cried, "They beat me with their fists and knocked my uncle down!"


    "Are you hurt, baby?" The woman checked with concern.


    "It hurts." The bear said.


    The woman looked up at them, then turned to the man: "Call the police! Arrest these hooligans!"


    The male is more cautious. He looked at An Feng and Wang Le. Those who can live here are rich. They usually look down and see each other. He asked, "What do you call them?"


    "Call your sister!" Wang Le doesn''t have such a good temper as An Feng. Although he is not domineering, he used to be a rich second generation and has never been bullied. "If you want to call the police, you will be in trouble if you are late! Mom��" Considering that the child was present, he didn''t swear, and picked up his mobile phone to make a call instead.


    The mothers of the two children also came after hearing the news. An Feng said to Joanna: "Take the children back, don''t worry about the rest, we''ll take care of it."


    Both parties called, but the other party arrived first. There were also police and unknown persons. At present, the police came out first to show their faces, while the unknown persons were still hiding in the van. Wang Le glanced over and shook his head: "It seems that the other party has a geographical advantage!"


    The middle-aged man took a look and said to the young man, "Why did you call these people here!"


    "The police solved it, they continue to solve it!" The young people took it for granted.


    "Nonsense!" the middle-aged man scolded.


    At this time, the police had already arrived, and the first police officer said, "You guys, go back with us and cooperate with the investigation."


    "Just check here, don''t worry, we''ll finish our meal later!" Wang Le didn''t fear the police, "Also, I''ve already called your boss."


    The police officer''s attitude is very friendly. He is not stupid. He can tell at a glance that this is a muddy water. Two gangs of rich people are competing. There is no need for a small policeman to intervene.


    So he just faltered and hawed, just talking but not doing anything, just slipping away.


    Soon, the police officer received a call from his superiors, and he must treat this matter with caution, because there are international friends and diplomats involved, and the matter should be minimized as much as possible, and it is best to reach a settlement in private...Police Officer Hang up the phone and look at An Feng: "Mr. An?"


    "It''s me." An Feng nodded.


    The police officer smiled politely: "Welcome to China."


    "Hmm." An Feng gave a tone. The police officer didn''t know much about diplomatic etiquette. Anyway, the superior asked him not to get involved too much, and let them negotiate as much as possible.


    The other party was also at a loss, but it sounded like he had a lot of background.


    The man in the middle looked at Wang Le, and suddenly asked, "Mr., is your surname Wang?"


    "What''s wrong with my surname Wang?" Wang Le said impatiently, looking at the road next to him, finally the reinforcements arrived, the door opened, and all the big men in black suits got out of the car.


    "Ha! Guys are here!" Wang Le was proud.


    Everyone, including the police, was surprised.


    Wear like this in summer, black suit and leather shoes, like filming, everyone is very strong, wearing sunglasses can''t see the expression clearly, but there is a fierceness.


    This situation, let the other party see that the young man with broken bread and yellow hair is not good! Just wearing a vest is not of the same level. Looking at the bulging chests of these guys, they must be wearing stab-resistant vests! The bakers automatically rolled up the windows, started the car and left.


    They must run away quickly, or they will kick the iron board.


    "Where did you find it?" An Feng smiled.


    Wang Le said: "It''s the bodyguards of my dad''s company. They are temporarily transferred. All of them are strong young men who have served in the army. It''s no problem to smash bricks with one hand."


    The policeman smiled wryly, sir, you are too blatant, but the young man froze, and automatically shrank behind his elder brother.


    The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "This matter was misunderstood."


    "You didn''t realize the misunderstanding until now?" Wang Le grinned, "But the policeman uncle has also arrived. Whether it''s right or wrong, it''s up to uncle to judge."


    The police officer hurriedly cast aside his responsibilities: "For a civil issue of this level, it is best to resolve it through private negotiations, so as not to hurt the peace of the neighbors."


    The middle-aged man hurriedly stepped down the steps: "The police officer is right! What''s the point of competing with adults when children bump into each other?"


    Wang Le didn''t want to be surrounded, nodded: "Okay, let''s talk in another place."


    ��


    In the end, there was no violence. Everyone sat down to negotiate and understand each other. Later, Wang Le''s father also came back, and the attitude of the other party was even more enthusiastic. Not to mention anything else, just the agency rights of Bida in China and a consumer base of more than 200 million are enough for the Wang family to be on the list of China''s richest people.


    The middle-aged Mr. Li was very polite: "This kind of conflict caused by children is the fault of the parents no matter what. This time we also understood the truth. It was our fault first. I am here to apologize to Mr. Wang and send it to you." A small gift, I hope you can understand and don''t hurt your feelings because of this."


    Wang Shida glanced at the gifts on the table calmly, and said, "I agree with Mr. Li''s enlightenment, but this matter also makes my distinguished guest, Mr. An, feel uncomfortable."


    "Mr. An, this matter is my fault." Mr. Li said.


    "Mr. An, your lord has a lot, I am here to apologize!" Mr. Li''s younger brother slapped himself twice after finishing speaking.


    They also learned some of An Feng''s background through side-stepping. Although they didn''t say much, as a distinguished guest treated by the Wang family, coupled with their status as diplomats, no matter what aspects they are, they are not easily provoked, so don''t talk about slapping yourself. Slap, anything more serious will do.


    "It''s okay, it''s just the child''s conflict." An Feng let go.


    Mr. Li gave Harry a look, and the brat stepped forward, his eyes were a little red and he was a little reluctant, but he couldn''t help him, and he said to Harry and Alice, "Sorry, this matter is my fault, we shouldn''t provoke it." Contradictions, we shouldn''t do anything to girls, it''s our fault!"


    An Feng looked at Alice and Harry. Alice was as kind as her mother. After hearing the apology, she said, "It''s okay, I forgive you."


    Mr. Li smiled: "You see, children''s conflicts are mostly caused by ignorance. As long as there is proper communication, there will be no barriers."


    An Feng nodded: "It is a good thing if it can be resolved peacefully."


    The matter was resolved without any trouble. The two children who were the protagonists of the incident performed well this time. First of all, they were polite and courteous. Demonstrates good parenting.


    But people will not be ignorant, and Alice��s counterattack is understandable. Afterwards, she asked her parents: "Did I do the right thing, Mom and Dad?"


    An Feng followed her and said: "You are not wrong. We can be pregnant, but it doesn''t mean that we should be bullied casually if we are kind. You are doing it right!"


    "Well done this time, you protected Harry, you are a hero." Joanna also said that although she does not advocate violence, her daughter is indeed right.


    "Haha!" Alice laughed, "I''m a hero! Is there any reward for being a hero, Mom?"


    "What do you want?" Joanna asked.


    Alice said: "I want to give little Harry Mitch a watch. He said he likes it very much. He also gave me a gift on my last birthday."


    Joanna said: "No problem, we will go shopping with Lulu in a few days, and you will be able to choose gifts then."


    "Is Lulu coming too?" Alice said.


    "She''s on vacation, of course she will come." An Feng said, Lulu is Wu Chao''s daughter, she is seven years old, she has met them several times, and they get along well.


    "Great!" Alice was very happy, "I really look forward to the day after tomorrow."


    "Good night, honey," said Joanna.


    Alice lay down on the bed: "Good night, Mom and Dad."

 Chapter 414： private island

    Chapter 414 Private Island


    The day after tomorrow, An Feng attended an old friend''s gathering.


    The children were playing, and they drank some drinks and talked about business.


    When it comes to Berger, it has also experienced a period of hot development. The use of a large number of high-tech has made them very prosperous. However, according to An Feng''s unoptimistic forecast, coupled with the popularization of graphene screens, chips and batteries of GP''s technology, competition Opponents will also appear one after another.


    The current advantage lies in the operating system, but the law of replacement will gradually eliminate it...According to An Feng''s idea, Joanna began to liquidate her shares two years ago. The timing is quite appropriate, not when the company is at its hottest, but in a period of ups and downs.


    At this time, investors will favor it. The rise and fall of the stock price is a kind of gamble, but no matter what the result is, she has already realized more than 25% of the shares and obtained more than 40 billion. Because this kind of behavior once caused the stock price to fall, but the company''s technology is still strong, its position is difficult to shake, and the decline is reversed.


    At present, the consortium has withdrawn from the company. Compared with the company itself, the consortium has made a lot of money from the ups and downs of competitors'' stock prices. With its absolute technological advantages, new products have been launched, and the stock prices of rival companies have fallen. good opportunity.


    Therefore, consortium investment is not only aimed at the company itself, but also includes the entire stock market that affects each other. They are responsible for scaring people, releasing bad news, waiting for the other party to fall, borrowing stocks, selling them at high prices, and buying them back at low prices before returning them. Stocks, earn hand cramps.


    Some members of the consortium do not even hold shares in Berger, but they have made hundreds of millions.


    And Anfeng��s friends also got a lot of convenience, and gave them the priority to give them the agency rights. As a result, in the whole of China, except for the directly-operated stores, they opened the authorized stores in big cities. In fact, it is money to authorize anyone, and it is obviously more comfortable to use it on friends.


    Recently, according to An Feng''s reminder, Xiang Yang gradually let go of the stores in the secondary areas, changed hands for various reasons, reduced the scale of the operation, and used the funds for other purposes. At present, there are still about seven authorized stores operated by them, and there used to be more than fifty at most.


    This also means that their cooperation is almost coming to an end. Talking about future plans, Wu Chao said: "I don''t have as much fighting spirit as Xiangyang, and now I have enough money. I invest in some funds, and the annual profit is several Millions, you can��t be a rich man, but it��s better to be stable.��


    Wu Chao and Xiang Yang have different personalities. Wu Chao is aggressive but contented. Xiang Yang is a careerist with talent, so he can easily make a name for himself. An Feng gave them the exclusive agency in mainland China and earned more than one billion yuan. , Now he is making a name for himself in investing in the information service industry.


    An Feng said: "Have you considered becoming a wine agent in the mainland?"


    Wu Chao asked: "Which brand is yours?"


    He nodded: "Yes."


    When it comes to cooperation, An Feng has some ideas. For example, the agency of ANS brand red wine in mainland China is good. An''s Winery intends to expand the Chinese market, but the details have not yet been determined. After An Feng mentioned it, if they are interested, they will contribute their own funds. He also contributed some money as a help.


    ��


    After a few days of excitement, everyone said goodbye.


    An Feng borrowed the Wang family''s SUV and took a tour around the Suzhou and Hangzhou area, allowing the children to see Chinese cities, experience various cultural customs, and visit some scenic spots. Because they had enough time, they could stroll around slowly...Ten days later, they left.


    Back to the United States to rest, while preparing for a European tour. A lot of people signed up. Xiaoyu and her two friends who are on summer vacation want to travel to Europe, go to Milan and Paris to learn more, and bring them to the island to play. The Matthew family has agreed to Alice, and Roger is currently playing in Rome.


    The plane to Italy is almost full.


    Joanna told Xiaoyu and the two girls: "Milan is a safe city, visitors will not be attacked suddenly, but remember that petty theft is still prevalent, be careful on crowded public transport, and your own The bags are well protected, and there are frequent snatchers.��


    Xiaoyu said: "Auntie, I know, we have done our homework, and if there is danger, we will call the police."


    "Don''t think I''m long-winded." Joanna said seriously, "General theft cases, the police don''t have time to deal with them. I used to have a friend who was driving in Madrid. His window was smashed and something was stolen, so he called the police, but the police Said there was nothing they could do, not even willing to investigate."


    Xiaoyu nodded: "Auntie, I will definitely not think you are long-winded."


    Joanna didn''t care whether the girls listened or not, and only let them go when she said what she thought was necessary.


    "Yes, I completely remember it." Xiaoyu vowed.


    After Joanna left, a black-haired girl murmured, "I didn''t expect that she likes to tell me as much as my mother."


    They are all very curious. Joanna is well-known, even popular in the United States. She is known as the richest woman in the world, the most popular and charismatic noblewoman. The question of wealth needs to be verified, but the donations alone exceed tens of billions of dollars, which is evident from the family background.


    Xiaoyu said: "It''s because I have a relationship with her, and we are relatively close."


    "I really envy you." They said.


    Joanna went back and sat down beside An Feng. An Feng poured her a drink: "Concentrate the three sentences you think into one sentence to ensure that the children can listen more efficiently."


    "Am I old and talkative?" She asked An Feng.


    An Feng shook his head: "Not at all. Parents always get into the habit of worrying. When they get older, they will understand."


    "I finally found some confidence from you." She leaned on An Feng''s shoulder.


    An Feng said with a smile: "Don''t worry about your lack of charm, you are the most popular baroness in the whole of England, and people are eager to hear you rambling."


    "You are the only one who can talk sweetly." She smiled, "What about you?"


    "I bowed down to the bottom of my skirt more than ten years ago and became your faithful servant, didn''t I?"


    "No one is serious." She was angry on her lips, but sweet in her heart.


    ��


    Arrived in Milan, Xiaoyu and two friends left the team. An Feng took a flight to Genoa, and then set off on a yacht.


    It was not easy to hire local cruise ship drivers and chefs in August, and An Feng paid three times his salary to find them. Because a large number of Italians have a holiday in August, and the middle of the month is their National Day, the native Italians in the city basically go out to travel, leaving the city to tourists.


    In order to welcome the island owner, the service staff on the island did not take vacations. They carefully cleaned and cleaned up, rejected foreign tourists, and opened it for private use only 24 hours a day. The world''s largest and most luxurious private island with an area of ??nearly 5 square kilometers is also a high-end resort business.


    There are two modes of operating the island, one is for individuals, and the other is for overall leasing.


    Personal explanation is very good, it is in the form of a few-day tour of the resort, and the lease is more heroic, 700,000 US dollars a week.


    Even at such a high price, there are still many rich people who are interested. The reason is very simple. On average, 700,000 U.S. dollars is 100,000 U.S. dollars a day, but they can enjoy a five-square-kilometer-wide private domain, a five-star resort hotel on the island. , bars, restaurants, nightclubs, and a golf course in the center of the island, horse stables, and three scenic beaches, yachts and underwater world...


    However, there are only a few who are willing to spend 700,000 yuan to rent the entire island. It is also easy to experience a private island. It is like a cruise ship, offering two tickets for five days or seven days. Like a cruise ship, you can enjoy all kinds of luxury.


    There is a reason why Anfeng��s resort island dares to charge such a high price. Its geographical location is very good. It is only a few dozen kilometers away from Emerald Beach, a favorite holiday paradise for European princes and nobles. There are also various scenic spots around the island. There are islands that cost $200 million to build.


    It was just over 200 million dollars when I bought the island, but it cost 200 million U.S. dollars to renovate. The effect brought by this attitude is of course top-notch, and it also makes it difficult for the island operation to recover the cost. Self-sufficient, An Feng automatically ignores investment.


    It took three years to transform the island, and every place has been rationally used. Even on the top of the mountain with dense rocks, there are cable cars up the mountain, where you can play ziplines or more exciting paragliding. The flat land is naturally used to the fullest, and the sunny beach is used to create a holiday paradise.


    When the yacht approached the pier, the service personnel on the island had already arrived.


    Including every batch of guests in the past, the service staff will show enough enthusiasm to treat them. Among the waiters, there are both locals and French people who are considerate enough in service. They drove a sightseeing car with a roof, and the guests got on car, and the bellman with the luggage.


    Take a sightseeing car to the resort center.


    Residences of different styles are scattered around, some are built by the beach, blowing the sea breeze; some are in lively areas with swimming pools, bars, etc.; Take them to their favorite places of residence.


    In the evening, everyone came to the restaurant in the central area.


    Although it is at a five-star level, the island is positioned as a private place, and guests can do many things, including meals, by themselves, so there are not many service staff, more than forty people. Three well-versed chefs prepared their first day dinner tonight, followed by a dance party.


    The power supply on the island is provided by several wind turbines on the top of the mountain, and there are also graphene solar panels, which are enough to maintain the electricity use of the entire island, and there may even be excess; in terms of water resources, drinking water is groundwater, and others are Desalinated seawater is also sufficient.


    After the two essential resources of water and electricity are met, the living standard of private islands will be upgraded to a higher level. In the past, private islands were beautiful and beautiful, but they happened to lack these two things, and they couldn��t be used to their fullest. Here in Anfeng, most of the machinery is electric. Driven, the cost is low, and it is wasted if not used, and the swimming pool is filled with clean water, the frequency of replacement is very high, and the desalinated water is never lacking.


    The top conditions in all aspects make it a Mediterranean resort.


    Even if you can enjoy this service, the price is not low, but it is not much higher than the suites of five-star hotels. There are many people who can live in the presidential suite, and you can enjoy a completely undisturbed environment at a lower price. In the private area, the attraction is not so strong.

 Chapter 415： accumulate strength

    Chapter 415 Accumulating Strength


    The location of this private island is excellent, and the climate is very pleasant. In August, the sun is scorching in most areas, but it is blown by the sea breeze, forming an effect similar to that of the San Francisco Bay Area. The summer is still refreshing. Can make people feel too hot.


    An Feng is lying under the coconut tree drinking coconut juice at the moment, and the bear boy has gone to play elsewhere. I heard that he is going to fly a kite. He is very happy and refreshed without being disturbed.


    But there is a lot of money and a lot of things, and some entertainment cannot be avoided.


    Matthew brought him a message, saying that he was going to engage in relationships every few days to accumulate some political strength.


    An Feng asked: "Here in Sardinia?"


    Matthew sat down and said: "The district mayor and some councilors are holding a charity reception. We are close, so we will attend it by the way. You know that the consortium has some focus in Western and Southern Europe. Our fund operation plan has connections with here and needs The dual relationship of politics and economics."


    "Formal?" An Feng asked.


    "Yes." Matthew nodded, "Also know some political stars, maybe it will be useful in the future."


    "Like Anderson in the past?" An Feng knew that the political stars in the eyes of the consortium were generally very promising and worthy of investment.


    "Yes, Anderson is a successful example of our investment." Matthew said that in his eyes, politicians will always be a commodity that can be invested.


    "I''ll go." An Feng said, it''s not important, and Matthew won''t specially call him, because the two big guys will play at the same time, and the benefits must be large enough.


    Each lay down and chatted a few words, An Feng received a video call and said hello: "Khalid, how are you doing?"


    "Looking for something to do," Khaled said. "Looks relaxed on your side."


    "I''m in a beautiful place with sunny beaches and absolute privacy." An Feng turned his phone around and asked Khaled to look at his surroundings.


    "I''m so envious!" Khaled said, "It''s too hot here in Qatar, and I can only soak in the pool every day."


    "Why don''t you come over too?" An Feng issued an invitation, "I''m on a private island in Sardinia. There are quite a few rooms, all of which are my own."


    Khalid seemed unable to stand it: "Okay, I''ll be there this afternoon."


    Hanging up the call, An Feng shrugged at Matthew: "I guess there must be a relationship."


    Matthew said with a smile: "Continue to deal with it. They have cooperated with us very well in the past few years. Oil futures are still very interesting."


    Later, Khalid''s plane with diplomatic privileges arrived in Italy, and later, the helicopter arrived.


    This time he is leading his family, his wife Heinie and two boys are here. Unlike Khaled who accepts Western culture on the surface and represents freedom, the family has the right to decide on marriage matters. In the end, Lebanese girlfriends and mixed-race supermodels all become a thing of the past.


    But it��s not his fault. His wife is the daughter of a wealthy businessman. Not only is she beautiful, but she also lived abroad. She and Khalid have a lot in common. An Feng attended their wedding banquet four years ago, but it turned out that she was pregnant. The news, and then two little boys were born, saying that there is no relationship is false.


    An Feng braved the wind and waves and embraced Khaled warmly, and performed the most cordial left and right face-to-face rituals three times.


    "Your speed is so fast, I thought you were joking!" An Feng said loudly, the plane was very loud.


    Khalid also whispered in his ear: "Qatar is too hot! If I don''t come to you, I will choose other cool places for vacation!"


    "Welcome!" An Feng said loudly.


    Following Hai Niye, he also took the initiative to reach out to him, and An Feng shook hands with her.


    Hai Niye is indeed different from ordinary Arab women. It can be seen from the clothes. She is wearing the latest Prada fashion, stepping on six-centimeter high heels, her hair is covered with a trendy headscarf, and she has a pair of sunglasses. No matter how you look at it A rich lady on vacation.


    "Welcome!" An Feng let go, and then said to the two children in Arabic: "Jihad, Kerim, hello!"


    "Nice to meet you, Mr. An." The two children said in English.


    This scene seems like it should be reversed...but it also demonstrates how open the Khalid family is. They left here quickly and took a battery car to the resort center area. The other friends had already had dinner, but they all came to welcome them out of politeness, saying hello or two, and they seemed very enthusiastic.


    Xiaoyu, who went out to play the next day, also arrived with her two friends, and the island became more lively.


    Khalid��s wife Heiniya has no taboos. She also wears a bikini, soaks in the hotel swimming pool, and communicates proficiently in English with her mother. The men are more active. There was a light rain last night, and the beach was a bit wet in the morning. They drove their all-terrain vehicles out for a blast.


    After playing enough, enjoy the cool under the coconut tree.


    An Feng, Matthew and Khaled are lying under a tree, with beer and juice in the portable freezer.


    There are a lot of things to talk about in this kind of leisure time, and not all of them are fun, but business things are mixed in. Qatar, as the Middle East agent of Bida Beverage, has frequent contacts with the consortium. With the cooperation in greening and seawater desalination, the local environment has been greatly improved.


    This also avoids the conflict between new energy and oil. Khalid knows that new trends are inevitable. If GP does not produce new batteries, other companies will sooner or later. The gasoline industry has shrunk to 70% of its original size, but there are other industries. Support, it doesn''t matter.


    After all, the world is not just cars burning oil. There is no need to rush to exhaust oil resources. They can be preserved as a kind of liquid gold. In this regard, they are more open-minded, and with the large-scale cooperation of Xin Energy, they coordinate the actions of batteries and stabilize the price of oil.


    Matthew was talking about oil futures with Khaled, as if he wanted to make a big deal.


    ��


    A few days later, they had a charity reception in the capital Cagliari.


    The host invited was District Mayor Mancini. This is his third year in office, and he needs popularity and support. Western politicians are similar. Although An Feng is not Italian, he has a lot of Italian friends, all of whom are important, and they control some big companies.


    Before the banquet, they experienced some snacks first, then changed into formal clothes and set off on time.


    This is an official charity reception, which was notified ten days in advance, including the news media. The content is open to the public, and the venue is chosen at a local hotel. The guests include local investors and politicians, and like An Feng and his party of four, they belong to the Special guest.


    Even though Italy and the UK are quite far apart, it does not prevent the guests at the banquet from hearing Joanna''s name, and many of them know her well. After entering the arena, there was a burst of frequent communication. Mancini personally acted as an introducer, introducing important guests to An Feng and Joanna.


    Mancini is in his fifties or sixties. He looks relatively strong, and he is very decent in a suit, if his abdomen is not slightly raised. His black hair is dotted with some silver threads. He belongs to Caucasian race but has a darker complexion, which is basically the characteristics of people from southern European countries.


    An Feng and Mancini have met many times, and have also cooperated with his nephew in business, and the relationship is very close.


    "Mr. An, this is Rez, a well-known local Democratic Party member." Mancini introduced a young politician in his forties to An Feng.


    "Hello, Mr. Leizi, we meet again!" An Feng smiled and shook hands with the other party. He had a wide circle of friends. He met Leizi twice, and once was at the local president''s banquet. At that time, it was a banquet for investors who had contributed to the national economy.


    "Nice to meet you, Mr. An." Rez shook hands with him enthusiastically, "Honorable Mrs. An, you are still as charming as ever."


    "Thank you, sir." Joanna also used an Italian sentence, which is a bit similar to French, and they like to address it in a very crooked way.


    Rez was first introduced by Austin''s cousin, he is a member of the largest left-wing democratic party in Italy, An Feng remembers it clearly, because the predecessor of the left-wing democratic party was the Italian Communist Party, the largest party in the country, these days It is also the largest in Sardinia for years.


    Rez is the political star in Matthew''s mouth, a character with both sides, and he is very hopeful to go further. And he is still an inconspicuous role to An Feng now, but Rez knows how to grasp the relationship with international capitalists, touch his preferences, and chat with enthusiasm for a few minutes.


    Rez said: "We absolutely support Mrs. An''s charitable cause, and the people of Sardinia will remember your love and contribution!"


    "I also hope that this will arouse the benevolence of more people." Joanna said in English, and her Italian can only speak simple sentences.


    An Feng translated appropriately, and Lei Ze nodded: "Society is lacking caring people like you."


    Let��s talk about feelings again and keep going around. People are interested in getting to know Joanna and her husband. For tonight��s reception, these are the highest-ranking guests. The rest are locals. In terms of international influence It cannot be compared with economic strength.


    After the communication lasted for half an hour, the theme of the charity reception began.


    This time it is for the construction of local health services, mainly for diseases with relatively high costs. In recent years, the research has brought a lot of benefits to world medicine and conquered incurable diseases, but the high cost of treatment is still a threshold. The family needs more people to show their love and help.


    Other invited people donated money one after another, ranging from a few hundred euros to thousands of dollars. Joanna set an example by donating a check of 300,000 euros of love funds. Speaking of it, I''m afraid it''s not as much as what she donated.


    Mancini applauded: "Thank you Baroness Joanna for your generosity, I thank you on behalf of the people of Sardinia! Everyone will remember it!"


    Others also applauded one after another. There is still some admiration, but there are also indignant thoughts that if I had money, I would donate so much. There are not many people in the world who can do this, but Joanna has become the most special one. Later she was invited to speak on stage.


    She didn''t prepare any speeches, but she also had the ability to improvise. She said a few words in English, and someone in the audience was translating. Soon, she continued to win applause and the cameraman''s spotlight. This kind of public fundraising activity is naturally news Media attention, good deeds will be reported.


    The charity activities during the vacation were very successful. When we returned to the island the next day, the local news papers began to report. Sardinia is a peaceful place, usually nothing major happens, and things spread far and wide, such as the baroness''s benevolent deed this time has become a hot topic.


    The place is small, and if there is something new, the residents will talk about it. The locals admire her kind deeds and remember the name. What no one expected is that in the future, her name will always be imprinted in people''s hearts and is closely related to this land.

 Chapter 416： Extraordinary intelligence

    Chapter 416 Extraordinary Intelligence


    After more than ten days of vacation, everyone returned one after another.


    Joanna took the time to go north to London, attended the foundation''s meeting, and made some decisions, but she played a more important role in setting an example. Huge funds will have their own strict operating system. As a leader, she is more of an image. After completing the mission, he returned to the United States from London.


    In late August, there is not much left for the child''s summer vacation, and now he is taking care of himself and receiving family education with peace of mind. Joanna''s goal is to train Alice to be a lady. She is the daughter of the baroness. She must not lose her mother''s demeanor in her future words and deeds, and she must master everything she needs to learn.


    This conflicted with Alice''s playful personality, but there was nothing her father could do to help her, so she could only obey obediently.


    Wang Le, who just moved here, called and invited An Feng to participate in a charity auction.


    "Do you have to participate?" An Feng asked. This person has gained some fame. Once he has more money in the bank, he will have various social invitations. If he agrees to all of them, there will be at least six or seven hundred days a year. in order to cope. Therefore, Anfeng''s rejection rate reached 99%.


    As long as he thinks about it, social activities can be scheduled from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, but only a few of them actually participate. This is how big names and low-key are cultivated. Wang Le is also aware of this, but he said: "You''d better come here, this time there are domestic officials and businessmen, the weight is quite big."


    An Feng asked: "Who is so famous and needs to call my name?"


    Wang Le said: "I know you are famous, so I invite you to play, to decorate our appearance."


    An Feng said: "Do you see that I am a person who likes to pretend?"


    Wang Le said: "Speaking seriously, the mayor of San Francisco invited you to attend the meeting. You have done well abroad, and you should take care of your family."


    An Feng heard what Wang Le meant. Although he is low-key, he still has a reputation, especially in recent years with the increase in investment projects and increased exposure. He is considered the richest man in China, and his parents and relatives are still in China. This emotional card is You have to fight, at least to make your relatives and friends in China happy.


    Having time, An Feng took Joanna to the meeting.


    It is worth mentioning that the mayor of San Francisco is Liu Yaowei, the second Chinese mayor. An Feng has given him a lot of support over the years, and he has a good relationship with him. Liu Yaowei also knows the terrifying power of the consortium, so it is more important to please him than to please other people, so he is specially invited.


    After An Feng arrived at the scene, he also understood the reason.


    Participating in the banquet were leaders from city S in China. City S is a provincial city, and the biggest secretary is also a member of the Politburo, which is not a low status. An Feng recalled that there was a Chinese government investment delegation visiting San Francisco recently, and it seemed that these were the people.


    There were many Chinese faces at the scene. There were many Chinese in San Francisco. After the advocacy of Liu Yaowei and other Chinese congressmen, many Chinese faces appeared in the political circle. It was just like a joke, San Francisco has been occupied by Chinese.


    Liu Yaowei solemnly introduced to the guests on both sides: "This is Mr. An Fengan and his wife Baroness Joanna!"


    "This is Secretary Wu Guoxiong Wu!"


    An Feng shook hands with a senior official from China, saying that every time he returned to China, he would pass through City S, and he had heard of this name on TV occasionally, and this time he saw the real face, not bad, a middle-aged man in his fifties, Fang He has a big head and ears, a tall and straight figure, and his physique is also very conspicuous in the white crowd.


    He has a strong background, but An Feng''s performance is still neither humble nor overbearing. He completely treats the other party as an equal guest, and there is no trace of restraint or flattery in his speech and behavior. He has seen a lot of famous people, played golf with the President of the United States, and rode horses with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The President of Italy even took the initiative to take a photo with him.


    An Feng didn��t even need to please the head of state level, let alone ordinary high-ranking officials. At most, it was for the sake of domestic visitors. He gave a lot of smiles and compliments, and were polite to each other. Wu Guoxiong also praised An Feng: "Young and handsome, he looks different at first glance!"


    An Feng also smiled politely: "Sir, you are the same, you have an extraordinary bearing."


    Wu Guoxiong doesn��t mind being called. According to the inside story he learned, it��s understandable to call him that. An Feng is a Chinese with a very background, and he can talk easily with the president. Obviously, few people can show off in front of him. From the first moment they met, the two sides determined the core of the courtesy.


    "Mr. An, your investment in the country, especially for the environment, has made great contributions to the improvement of the environment in the northwest region, especially in the control of smog. The air synthesizer has achieved great results .I thank you on behalf of the others."


    "It''s easy to do, after all, that''s where I was born and raised." An Feng said, this sentence confirmed that he accepted the other party''s move to get closer.


    Wu Guoxiong naturally heard the meaning and smiled: "On other cooperation issues, I also hope that we can create a better future."


    "It''s natural." An Feng said.


    During the conversation, Wu Guoxiong praised Ans Industry''s non-profit goals.


    The atmospheric processors launched by Angle Industries are completely unprofitable, because there is no specific consumer group��to prevent global warming, it is human beings who get the benefits, but who pays? The boundaries are not clear, and the five hooligans each contribute their own funds to support this plan that benefits mankind.


    The role of the atmospheric processor is to be able to synthesize the atmosphere above the polar ice caps, effectively ending global warming. The plan currently raises three billion US dollars in funds. Ans Industries represents mankind to go to both ends of the earth to deal with difficult problems. If the funds are sufficient, it is estimated that Get it done in five years.


    In addition to repairing the atmosphere, it can also be used in planetary development, but this function has not been developed so far, so it is not necessary. But An Feng does have these contents in his mind, which can adjust the ratio of nitrogen and oxygen in the air, transform toxic components, and build an earth-like air environment.


    At present, Ans Industry is paying close attention. There is no profit, and it has to pay out of pocket, but it can establish a very positive corporate image. The "ANS" logo will be printed on the ground and sky atmospheric processors. Related news and documentaries It also occurs frequently.


    Liu Yaowei''s recommendation this time is appropriate. He knows what An Feng lacks. He is not short of money or connections in the United States, but his foundation in China is relatively weak. This meeting obviously played a very good role in promoting, Just look at the smiles on the faces of the two of them.


    ��


    When I got home at night, my youngest son, Fred, was flipping through a book and was still awake.


    "The child is reading!" Joanna whispered, not disturbing Fred.


    An Feng handed the coat he took off to the maid and said, "He is much quieter than Alice when she was a child."


    Alice is in an overactive state of running around and disobedient at this age. She wears four or five sets of dirty clothes a day. Just changing her clothes gives her a headache. Fred is the opposite. Like Alice, the clothes on her body were killed in a flash.


    "Dad!" Fred looked up and spotted them.


    "Hi!" An Feng sat down beside him, and read the contents of the book, "Children''s addition and subtraction are really smart!"


    "Dad, I can do the math." Fred said with great credit, he found a two-digit addition problem, took a few strokes, and the answer came out.


    "Wow!" An Feng was surprised.


    Joanna on the side also sat down beside them, watching them.


    Hearing his father''s praise, Fred smiled shyly and continued to turn the pages. This is no longer mathematics, but a short story with many pictures, which can be understood basically without dialogue. He pointed to the The picture: "Mom, the bear is so stupid, it should jump to the side."


    "Fred is smart!" Joanna stroked his hair.


    The illustration is a story about a bear being chased by tires, only walking in a straight line, and then being crushed. Ordinary children will find it interesting and funny when they see it, but Fred can directly see the common sense mistakes in it... You must know that he is only one and a half years old, and some children have difficulty talking and walking.


    Joanna looked at An Feng: "Should we make an appointment to test IQ?"


    It is generally used after three or four years old, but there are also IQ tests for one-year-old and one-and-a-half-year-olds, but there is a lot of room for adjustment and the accuracy rate is not high. But Fred is so smart, the parents can''t wait, they have the mentality of scratching the lottery and expecting to win the first prize.


    Finally made an appointment with the intelligence testing department of the hospital, and set off with Fred.


    In the car, Fred asked, "Where are we going, Mom and Dad?"


    "Let''s go to the hospital." Joanna beside him said.


    Fred opened his mouth.


    Joanna said with a smile: "Don''t worry, I''m not giving you an injection. I''m doing interesting questions. If you do it right, Mom and Dad will be very happy."


    "I think so," he said.


    "Do you want Mom and Dad to be happy?" Joanna asked. He doesn''t have a lot of vocabulary, and he can express very limitedly, so he needs an adult to bring some.


    He paused and said, "Yes."


    "Good boy, we hope you are happy too." Joanna kissed his forehead, Fred smiled, and occasionally he would act very childish.


    Arrive at the hospital and meet with the doctor who made an appointment. He took the child into a room full of cartoon pictures. After relaxing, the test questions begin. The one-and-a-half-year-old questions are very simple, that is, children stack small squares, fill in the gaps in graphics, draw straight lines on paper, button buttons, go up and down stairs, and talk to doctors, etc.


    The questions are very simple in the eyes of adults, but it is a big challenge for children. In order to maintain accuracy, there are three tests in total, with a break in between. Fred is fascinated by the toys in the room and plays with them like no one else. After a while, An Feng reminded him, and he came back to his senses.


    After the test, they returned to the doctor''s office. The doctor looked at the results with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, everyone, the child''s intellectual age has exceeded two years old. According to the Stanford-Binet intelligence calculation equation, the child''s IQ has reached 160, which is considered a genius." level."


    "Congratulations, Fred!" An Feng and Joanna congratulated him, although Fred couldn''t understand what the doctor said.


    The doctor smiled and continued: "There are still some errors in the test for children in this age group. It is recommended to test it every other year in the future. After the age of five, the accurate value can be obtained. Parents of the child should not put pressure on the child, let things take their course That��s what helped him the most.��


    "We know." An Feng was in a very good mood.


    "Little genius!" Joanna touched Fred''s fleshy face in his arms. He was holding a jigsaw puzzle in his hand, his brows were frowning, and he was thinking.


    "Mom, I like it." Fred looked up.


    "I like it when we go back and prepare it for you." Joanna said.


    On the way back driving, An Feng was humming a brisk tune, apparently what happened to the little genius made him very happy. But Joanna also said that she doesn''t want him to be so top-notch in the future, because geniuses have many flaws, and the biggest wish of being a parent is to hope that he can be healthy and happy.


    An Feng also agrees, if someone like Hoffman is not good, I heard that he has an IQ of 190, but his communication skills are still at the level of a junior high school student. Guang, he may still be hovering at the second level.

 Chapter 417： Bad things

    Chapter 417 Bad things


    A few days later, September also arrived.


    Wang Le sent Harry to preschool to prepare to receive the unique free education in the United States. Basically, he just had fun for a day. He was not as picky as An Feng. Strictly speaking, An Feng''s pickiness was also caused by Joanna. , She hopes that her daughter can meet the standards in her heart.


    Alice also successfully advanced to primary school, preparing for the first grade.


    On the first day of school, Mom and Dad sent her there in person.


    Primary school schedules in the United States are generally adjusted according to sunrise and sunset times. Different states and regions are different, and schools are also different. This hill school...the name has nothing to do with geography. The school start time of this elementary school is half past eight, and the end of school is three o''clock.


    The area of ??primary schools is not large. American primary schools generally have about 300 students, and some are even less, because schools are densely distributed in every community, and there is not much difference between schools, which will not cause crowding of famous schools...Of course there are, especially in big cities The locals are also flocking to private schools.


    There are very few classes in the school, and each class has about twenty students.


    There are 15 students in Alice''s class, and the nature is quite special. Some teachers came from the UK, and it took a lot of effort to obtain the US teacher''s license. They are responsible for aspects that the US does not have, such as the standard emphasis on the British accent class, gentlemen and ladies etiquette etc.


    There is a joke that private schools in the UK teach students how to tie more than public schools.


    Of course, the extra cost of private schools cannot be spent only on how to tie a tie. In fact, it is a kind of elite education that gives priority to the starting line, which is a little different from American-style education. Joanna believes that British education is easier to cultivate gentlemen and ladies, rather than the free and easy of Americans.


    Apart from the extra elite content, Alice��s class is also similar to the United States in other aspects, mainly focusing on children��s physical and mental health. The American philosophy is: only with a healthy body and mind can you be able to learn other knowledge. Education focuses on "body and mind".


    Therefore, the teaching environment in the United States is very relaxed. Children��s classrooms are messy and they can talk at any time. Children in the third and fourth grades are not good at multiplication and division, and even struggle with addition and subtraction... In general, American education has both advantages and disadvantages. , so the mother of the child specifically requires the optimal environment.


    Joanna doesn��t like this kind of laxity very much. British education is also free, but children��s relaxation and laxity are different.


    An Feng spared no expense to create an educational environment. They plan to send Alice to a private public school in the UK after their child graduates from primary school. The private schools in the UK are among the top in the world. However, there are also disadvantages. Going to Anfeng''s work over there will definitely not be able to effectively take care of it.


    But things still have at least six years, they can think about it slowly.


    Sending Alice to the school gate, she said goodbye to her parents: "Goodbye, Mom and Dad!"


    "Have fun!" An Feng said.


    "Goodbye!" Joanna waved to her.


    From the time the child enters school, there is no need to worry. This is her independent process, and it is also a place for her to deal with all kinds of children. The teacher will be responsible for how to educate her. They stood at the door for a while, An Feng said: "Let''s go, the child is fine."


    ��


    In October, Bazel specially interviewed An Feng and brought a bad thing.


    An Feng was surprised: "You mean someone is going to attack us?"


    Bazel brought internal intelligence, and several members of Congress proposed to check the overseas accounts of some large multinational companies, especially those with offshore companies. The gray area of ??offshore companies has been mentioned by lawmakers in recent years, but under the Anderson administration, there was usually not enough attention.


    This is not something you can manage if you want to, it involves the interests of too many people. After the Democratic Party came to power, some people wanted to do something about it one after another. The president''s response was very vague, and he didn''t deny it. Some people predicted that it might be done here. It has been delayed for more than a year, and now the wind is coming.


    As long as the government orders an investigation of these multinational corporations, they will almost certainly catch them, including GP Corporation, Beta Corporation, and various other large corporations. Not only will the Texas consortium suffer, but other consortiums will also suffer. But there is no doubt that they will lose the most.


    After hearing this, An Feng knew that this was a way to kill one thousand enemies and harm eight hundred, but this is currently the most effective way to shake the Texas consortium��if only targeting them, the result would be no less than fighting a tiger with a knife��suicide road. But when the attack is indiscriminate, the consortium cannot escape.


    "Very likely." Bazel gave a relatively clear answer.


    "Aren''t they almost bankrupt?" An Feng wondered.


    "As long as the market exists and there is competition, there will never be a lack of competitors." Bazel said philosophically.


    "Then we probably need to find a place to launder money." An Feng said.


    It''s different from ten years ago. If it was that time, he would definitely be at a loss, but now, after hanging out with these old foxes for a long time, he understands the rules and regulations inside. No matter how the government investigates, they can''t be counted on them, but the loss lies with the company. It would be bad for the company to collect the tax evasion money and fine it in proportion to the turnover.


    If the penalty is based on 10% of the turnover, the revenue of several companies under the GP company will exceed one trillion yuan, and Bida will be even bigger. No one can afford this. Even if the consortium is very rich, once the capital chain is broken, many fields will be frustrated. The enemy attacks when you are tight.


    Bazel said: "Now we have to calm down, because this proposal will not be able to be passed in a few months. If it can be delayed until the next presidential election, it may allow things to pass smoothly. But we have to Prepare for the worst and focus on the company''s internal accounts."


    Every company, including small and medium-sized enterprises, arrests a few financial personnel to sit in the electric chair and torture them, and they will definitely get a lot of gray or even illegal things. This is the inside story of the financial personnel��no company is absolutely clean , Tax evasion - no, financial personnel like to call it "reasonable tax avoidance", this is simply commonplace, don''t you do it? The boss will tell you to pack up and leave tomorrow.


    Therefore, the several large companies of the consortium are definitely not clean, and such things as internal accounts must exist. The government sent people down to investigate. The Federal Tax Service and the FBI must first control the financial area and **** out the cocoons from the inside. The analysis, deduced where the hands and feet...


    An Feng asked: "What method do you have?"


    "There are many ways. The money laundering you mentioned is the most direct. In addition, the funds accumulated overseas can also be used to use the leverage of hedging to break through the prosperity of the United States on the surface, so that the performance of this government is bad, and it is better to replace it. This is Directly aimed at possible outcomes."


    An Feng said: "It''s a bold idea."


    Bazel continued: "The United States is also promoting dialogue with other offshore financial zones around the world, and our personal secret companies may also have to be made public."


    "If it is made public, this game will not be very fun."


    "So the trouble will involve many things. Just in case, we have to make that proposal less influential."


    "But this is not the most important thing. I have more important things to do this time. For the sake of the future, we have to consume the money deposited by the consortium and increase the chips in the last game. This time is just a guide The fuse, but we''re going to let the bomb go off."


    "Are you sure you can pry the United States?" An Feng said cautiously. Although he also knew that the United States was heavily in debt and was consuming the future to maintain their current prosperity, there was a big boss behind it��the Federal Reserve. God knows what countermeasures the privately controlled central bank will make.


    "No, we''re not targeting the US, but everything comes together - we''ve got a good chance. It''s just that some financial characteristics have dictated that it goes up and down. One draft isn''t enough to break us and the US Flow��worst case, let them fine you."


    "Where is your favorite entry point?" An Feng asked.


    "Europe," Bazel said.


    An Feng quickly understood that, taking the simplest hedge fund as an example, when the euro rises, the U.S. dollar will fall��even if there is no idea of ??targeting the U.S. dollar, as long as the euro rises, the U.S. dollar will fall predictably. So Bazel said that he has no intention of targeting the United States, but it can affect it incidentally.


    Compared to the proposals that may be submitted by the parliament, the news that Bazel will bring later is the most important. To be honest, even if the U.S. government is ruthless and legislates to investigate the offshore companies and gray activities of these large companies, the consortium will only suffer losses in the end, and the overall impact will be limited.


    An Feng is more concerned about Bazel''s investment confidence: "Are you optimistic about the euro?"


    Bazel said: "To be precise, it is the European economy. Based on the prediction that the dollar will fall, the euro at the other end of the leverage is about to appreciate."


    An Feng asked: "Does it have to be artificially promoted?"


    "That''s right, the natural waiting process of not intervening is too slow. Our June plan has been implemented. Because of recent events, we have decided to continue to expand investment and promote it covertly. As long as the funds are large enough, both the country and the economy will affected."


    The United States provides investors from all over the world with the smoothest path to wealth and the easiest platform for success. The consortium also benefits from this platform, but when they grow stronger and the platform can no longer satisfy them, or even endanger them, the rules have to be discarded.


    The country is only a kind of restraint for ordinary people, ordinary rich people, or so-called vested interests. For the group of super consortiums that want to plunder the wealth of the world and have stepped out of the platform of the United States, the country is actually a kind of shackle, affecting their attitude towards the world. pursuit of interests.


    In the final analysis, few of the core members of the consortium are native Americans. Needless to say, An Feng came all the way in a vest, changing identities is like playing around. Up to now, he is still a diplomat of two countries. Bazel is directly a British baron with dual citizenship, and Matthew also follows her mother''s personality, and can be called a mother if he has milk.


    The Blueline family may have a bit of local flavor, but Austin''s mother is Italian, Roger has a bit of German blood, and the Hart family is directly British. The other secondary members are also partners from all over the world. If you let this group of capitalists talk about "patriotism", it is like a joke.


    They are optimistic about the European economy this time, or they have found a trick to promote development.


    If you are long the euro, the reason is simple, the consortium buys it at a low price, and bets that it will rise in the future. But this time Bazel said that they were betting not just on the euro, but on the entire European economy, which required countless complex steps��something the human brain can do. But the most important thing is capital��unless it is a joint venture in the world, no group can come up with hundreds of billions, or even trillions of funds from the Texas consortium.


    Bazel said to An Feng: "I''m here to ask for your opinion. We all tend to take a gamble. The current opportunity is very appropriate."


    "How long does it take to prepare?" An Feng asked.


    Bazel knew that he agreed: "At present, we are waiting for the right time to cut in. It may take a while, and then we will implement the plan covertly through affiliated companies around the world. For the specifics, we need a more detailed plan. A glitch."


    "It really needs to be considered carefully." An Feng said.


    Compared to this big investment, the bad news brought by Bazel is secondary. Even if someone submits a proposal, it has to be discussed, heard and passed on by the House of Representatives slowly. This proposal, which makes big business and the rich very uncomfortable, will also be resisted by others.


    It''s just that the consortium currently assumes the proposal as "possible", so it has adjusted a series of plans... As for what will happen next, Bazel did not say. If things go as they expected for the worst outcome, everyone''s wealth will be spread out more evenly in the future.

 Chapter 418： domineering aircraft

    Chapter 418 Domineering Aircraft


    After staying for a day, Bazel left the United States in a low-key manner.


    Every step of the way is very important, especially the core of the consortium, which cannot be reached by ordinary people, but the high-level U.S. government knows that if the consortium''s conspiratorial plan is captured or stolen, it will become evidence for prosecution in the future , will also cause a lot of trouble.


    Afterwards, Matthew came to visit, and he rode a horse as usual, and his life didn''t change much.


    As the behind-the-scenes people, the decisions are issued by them, but the implementation of the plan is not directly related to them. It''s like An Feng, who is only responsible for giving money, but how and where the money is used by other people... Sorry, it has nothing to do with me! Even if it happened, there is no evidence.


    Matthew said: "During this period of time, we have to consider industries in other regions. It is also good to go overseas to find land for investment."


    An Feng knew that this was a precautionary measure, so he converted US dollar cash into equivalents around the world. He made a suggestion: "Then you might as well buy a house in each country, and you can live all the way on vacation in the future. For example, from southern Italy all the way to Finland in the north."


    Matthew said: "It''s not bad, it''s just not worth the money."


    "It''s the same." An Feng said. They have too much money, planning funds account for most of it, and they also have personal leisure. Considering the success of things, the dollar will depreciate. It is not a good thing to hold too many dollar bills, especially for companies and enterprises, and they must also pay attention to the amount of funds they hold. .


    Matthew said: "I want to get a super yacht now, and go to the Caribbean for vacation after the business is over."


    An Feng said: "I can recommend a yacht dealer."


    Matthew said: "Thank you, but I want to build a unique luxury yacht with a length of hundreds of meters, and I have to hire a special designer to do it."


    An Feng shrugged: "That''s up to you to worry about, I''m still in trouble."


    Matthew smiled suddenly: "I found that you are the one with the worst backlog of funds. I have been hearing you complaining about taxes and how to spend money for the past few years."


    An Feng is also helpless. It doesn��t matter if you have a lot of money, but if you have a lot of money, you will be taxed, which is a headache.


    Matthew said: "I think it is a good way for you to continue to develop aerospace aircraft. I hope to try the feeling of going to space with this thing in my lifetime."


    An Feng said: "The company already has sufficient funds, and I didn''t take any operating profits."


    Matthew shook his head: "Then I can''t help it."


    But when Matthew mentioned it, An Feng extended it to other fields. Aerospace planes are being developed and tested, so there is no rush, but high-altitude passenger planes are possible. He thought about VIP business jets converted from large passenger planes a long time ago. , the idea has been silent for several years, and now it is awakened.


    If he is interested, he will do it.


    Inquire through the relationship between telephone assistants and assistants. A large business jet should be like the domineering Boeing 787 of Blueline. He searched online and found Airbus''s A380 and Boeing''s 747 models.


    They all have four engines and look very domineering.


    The cabin of the A380 has two floors, which is definitely the largest capacity, but not many are used for VIP purposes. The Boeing 747 is very common. The US President''s special plane "Air Force One" is refitted with it, and there are more than one. The world Other ultra-wealthy people are also keen on the 747''s specially customized VIP models.


    In appearance, the A380 is relatively round, while the Boeing 747 has more beautiful body lines... Perhaps because Air Force One is too photogenic, its image is imprinted in the hearts of many people. The 747 also has two decks, but the upper deck only takes up one-third of the fuselage and has relatively little capacity.


    Joanna brought Alice over, saw An Feng scratching his hair at the screen, and asked concerned: "What troubles did you encounter?"


    "You have a multiple-choice question." An Feng turned the slim screen to them, "I plan to buy a VIP business jet, which one of them looks better?"


    Alice moved to sit on his lap, pointed to the Boeing 747: "Dad, I like this."


    "Respect your daughter''s opinion." Joanna said.


    "It''s the same as I thought, but I still think it looks better!" An Feng said.


    Joanna sat down: "Are you planning to buy a plane again?"


    An Feng leaned back on the sofa: "The recent funds have to be spent, and it is almost the end of the year. There must be a large tax payment, and the other is to prevent depreciation."


    "Recently we''ve been discussing the appreciation of the U.S. dollar. How did you say it depreciated?" Joanna was curious, and she was still concerned about these things.


    "It''s just prosperity on the surface." An Feng curled his lips, "You can see the details from what I''ve been busy these days. Everyone has made a big move."


    Joanna understood, and turned to discuss the plane: "Large planes are also good, and I will be able to bring more friends with me when I travel in the future."


    "Does Daddy have twenty?" Alice asked him, looking up.


    "Of course, the crew plus passengers are probably around 100." An Feng said.


    "One hundred people? Fifty, sixty..." Alice began to compare in her heart. She was indeed not as smart as Fred in this regard.


    An Feng smiled and patted her head.


    "What''s the plan?" Joanna looked at the image on the screen.


    "The company hasn''t responded yet. I''ll talk to my assistant." An Feng picked up his cell phone and made a call, and got a response.


    An Feng said to her: "Boeing has green leather planes. If they are willing to pay a higher price, they will be happy to sell them. The decoration and modification issues will also be implemented by them."


    Joanna suggested: "Since it costs money, let''s have some exclusive and customized content."


    "It''s the same as I thought." An Feng nodded, "But I hope to make a greater modification and build it into a dream palace in the sky."


    An Feng has a lot of ideas about customization. He currently has two business jets, and there is no shortage of planes, so he hopes that this plane can be built according to their preferences. It doesn��t matter how much money is spent. The important thing is comfort and safety. Comfortable things It''s easy too, but you have to pay attention to safety.


    Like the US President��s Air Force One, in addition to being luxurious, it also has the world��s most advanced defense system, including radar alarms, infrared and ultraviolet alarms, and an electronic jamming system that can interfere with incoming missiles. In addition to having the tightest communication routes, a huge command center...


    An Feng wants a high-spec plane, even more advanced than the US president''s special plane. He can consider adding an EMP jamming system, laser and graphene skin. It is lighter but stronger, and it also means that it can fly faster. Ordinary 747 The cruising speed of the car is around 900 kilometers per hour, and he hopes to reach 1,100 kilometers.


    The refit project requires not only financial resources, but also technology. Boeing may not be able to do it, but the aerospace company under An Feng happens to be good at this aspect. Referring to the aerospace plane they are developing, this thing is much more difficult than passenger planes. And technical assistance from Angler Industries is also available.


    ��


    Since everyone has an idea, An Feng will do it while he is free.


    According to the information from the assistant, Boeing has a green leather plane, which can be used after half a year of modification, but after An Feng has more ideas, he doesn''t like the green leather plane. The green machine has been able to take off, land and fly normally, which means that the outer skin is over, and he intends to use graphene.


    Since it is going to be done, it is all-round high-end, concentrated high-tech.


    He discussed with the experts from the Starry Sky Exploration Company and came to the conclusion that it is best to use semi-finished products. That is to say, only the original frame and complete engine are needed, and other avionics systems, safety systems, aircraft surface skins, and porthole structures can all be completed by Xingkong Exploration Company.


    Although they are not professional aircraft manufacturers, they manufacture aerospace planes. As the name suggests, aerospace planes are aircraft that can fly and fly. It is much easier to manufacture aircraft accordingly.


    With the company''s technical support, An Feng transferred to Boeing.


    He took advantage of a little relationship and talked to a high-level person. Regarding An Feng''s request, the executive of the other party said that there was no "semi-finished product" suitable for his request, but it was not impossible-after buying the green leather machine, remove the skin and reinstall it, it will be able to meet his wishes.


    In fact... there is still a little bit of calculation in it, because the frame value is not high, and the green leather machine that can be used is often sold at around 260 million US dollars, and the other party asks for 280 million, and the green leather machine that passes the take-off and landing test is sent to the starry sky in person Explore the company''s airport and send technicians to disassemble.


    An Feng agreed without hesitation.


    Usually VIP customers first spend 260 million to buy a green leather machine, and then carry out various luxurious decorations, interior modifications, exterior painting... The final total cost will reach more than 300 million, and there are more arrogant customers. The president of the United States is worth 410 million U.S. dollars, while An Feng''s is at least 600 million U.S. dollars, taking into account inflation.


    The graphene skin on the outer layer alone is not affordable for ordinary rich people. It is still the internal cost price, and it is more expensive if it is purchased from outside. In addition, there are avionics systems, radars, and security defense systems. These electronic products are also very expensive. An Feng also plans to be able to connect to quantum satellites. As long as the satellites can guarantee the security of communication, don��t worry about it. No one can crack quantum communication. .


    The aerospace department of the company has specially assigned additional manpower to help the boss deal with these problems.


    They discussed with Boeing''s technical staff, after all, the modification of the aircraft must pay attention to safety. Boeing is also very responsible in explaining. According to the steps discussed, the aircraft will be dismantled by Boeing technicians first, then refitted by Starry Space Exploration Company and Ans Industries, and finally tested for flight.


    If everything is normal, you can carry out luxurious interior modification. In this regard, you have to hire a designer to worry about it. The luxury palace in the sky has to wait. The advantage is that there is no technical difficulty and it is easy to do well. The final total time spent may be around two years.


    An Feng is also used to waiting patiently for good things, so let''s look forward to it slowly.

 Chapter 419： UFO incident [3rd update]

    Chapter 419 The UFO incident��Third watch��


    Adults are playing with big planes, and children are also playing with small planes.


    In their spare afternoon, Alice and Harry played with electric planes on the lawn. Different from those sold in the market, these are all high-end goods, made with 3D printers, and the shape is also very sci-fi. There are two surrounded The rotors are placed on both sides of the aircraft, and the inclination can be adjusted.


    means that when the rotor is facing the ground horizontally, it can take off and land vertically, and when it is adjusted to face the direction of flight, it can fly horizontally. The energy source uses electricity, and the "belly" of the aircraft contains batteries and circuits, and children can easily control it.


    An Feng and Wang Le were lying on the soft grass, on a slope, and could clearly see the surrounding scene. The two children were holding the remote control and running behind the plane, and the three tigers were also running behind. Young tiger cubs are very curious about flying objects in the sky.


    Wang Le looked at the plane above his head and said: "Technology is changing so fast in this era. When I was young, I was able to play a model airplane, which is a high-end. Now this thing is flexible enough to do dodge maneuvers and hover in the air. Put it in ten It was unimaginable a few years ago."


    "Times are always advancing." An Feng said.


    Wang Le said: "I heard that there are electric airplanes on the market. I mean electric airplanes that can actually take people. Are you interested?"


    An Feng shook his head: "The technology is immature, the speed is not fast, and it''s no fun."


    Wang Le said: "This is the future trend. The concept stocks of electric aircraft are very promising."


    An Feng said: "When I am free, I will also invest in electric aircraft manufacturing companies. Not only electric aircraft, land and air amphibious vehicles can also be considered."


    Wang Le said: "Good idea, I see that the aircraft manufactured by your company are so advanced, if you enter this industry, it will definitely be very good."


    "Of course." An Feng was very confident, "It''s just that there are too many things to do at present, and there is no time to develop them."


    Wang Le automatically ignored the last sentence, lying on the lawn in a daze when he had no time?


    Alice ran back: "Dad, Dad, the plane flew so high just now."


    "Alice is awesome, I can''t even see the plane flying so high." An Feng said, Alice is relatively simple, and coaxing her can make her happy all afternoon.


    Alice really smiled, and she said: "Dad, let''s add flying wings to the car, too? Our whole family can fly."


    An Feng said: "There will definitely be in the future."


    "When is the future?"


    An Feng said: "The future is an uncertain time in the future."


    "Oh." She nodded, but she still didn''t understand.


    When it comes to flying cars, Anfeng feels that there will be a market in the future. With the development of battery technology and aviation technology, flying cars may not be unable to take care of them. They existed as early as more than ten years ago, but the relevant regulations are not Perfect, drivers have to hold two driver''s licenses.


    An Feng was careful to see what attitude Maserati had.


    Maserati has developed very well in the past few years, because it has seized the opportunity of electric vehicles, coupled with the promotion of large groups, they have participated in races, named the brand, and their value has tripled. Li acquired the Jeep brand and expanded the field of SUVs.


    Maserati originally took care of many aspects, ranging from sports cars to luxury cars. The expansion is generally low-end, but other brands are controlled by major car companies. Over the years, only Jeep has been acquired, but it has been considered from India. Take back the shares of Jaguar, but things are under negotiation.


    As an automobile group with an annual turnover of 5.5 billion US dollars, it is possible to take back Jaguar, but there is no way for Tata Group to disagree... Turning to the issue of flying cars hoped by An Feng, as a future concept, car dealers are also concerned , but due to legal issues, it is not yet clear.


    An Feng is just making an opinion, he does not participate in the operation of Maserati.


    ��


    The problem with the aircraft is something else.


    It is well known that Starry Sky Exploration Company develops aerospace aircraft, but they are mainly for commercial use, with the purpose of "space taxi", and for more professional purposes, the company is not a military contractor, and has no research. In Tanzania, far away in Africa, robot companies are very enthusiastic.


    There is a relatively large robot base in the local area. It was built five years ago and put into operation three years ago. It is still under construction. From the beginning of construction, it has brought benefits to the local people, firstly jobs, and secondly taxation. Industrial development has also promoted the industrial chain from raw materials to transportation.


    There are also seawater desalination projects, which have many benefits, so it is a prestigious enterprise in the local area. The company spent another 100 million US dollars to build an airstrip nearby. It is 3.5 kilometers long. Because it is located on a plain, the cost is not high, and it is mainly used for aircraft. Of course, there are also aerospace planes.


    Artificial intelligence develops technology and has an unparalleled advantage: smart.


    Hal''s high computing speed is based on quantum computers, which can kill all supercomputers in seconds. Therefore, the success rate of the development of the aircraft is very high, and even after the conceptual production, it is successfully put on the runway for the first test flight, and only a small range of adjustments is required in the future.


    This test is also a drone, which is moving towards an aerospace plane.


    The airstrip is right next to the factory, and there is a special passageway for robots underground. Robots of various forms send the drones to the bottom of the airport through the underground track. After night falls, the ground at one end of the airport runway is opened, and the drones are dragged by the transport robot. Come out and be transported to the ground.


    There are many robots on site, but only one humanoid machine.


    It was specially called out by An Feng. To be honest, humanoid machines have little advantage in other aspects except appearance. For example, transport robots must be machines with many wheels and tracks, and working-type machines need six or more hands. Yes, snake and spider are more suitable.


    The only humanoid machine, currently controlled by An Feng.


    It is night in Tanzania, and it is still daytime in Anfeng''s side. In his office, he transmits the images seen by the robot to him in real time through the transmission of quantum information. The robot has three pairs of eyes and omnidirectional stereoscopic vision. The human eye has a greater advantage.


    The resolution is modeled on the human eye, and the field of view is very clear.


    Hal''s voice sounded from the side: "The first round of tests."


    An Feng didn''t speak, and left the matter to Hal, the conductor. He only needs to look at the results, and then decide on the next research and development direction and plan.


    Hal introduced: "It uses a graphene shell, a combination of rocket engine + ramjet engine, the rocket engine pushes the speed of the aircraft to Mach 3 or later (three times the speed of sound), the ramjet engine works, it uses liquid hydrogen fuel, and the theoretical maximum speed reaches Mach 16."


    The rocket engine of the drone is ignited. The rocket engine has a lot of thrust, but there is a flaw: it is one-time use. So this UAV is a typical test machine, mainly testing ramjet engines. The flames from the tail of the drone sprayed six or seven meters away, and it took off after accelerating less than one kilometer.


    Because it was night, only a dazzling light could be seen around, and disappeared in the direction of the sea in an instant. Anfeng has activated drone monitoring, and the speed displayed by the sensor is constantly increasing, and the M value reading exceeds 2...2.5... Ramjet engines generally need M to be greater than 3 to operate.


    It is difficult for fighter jets to reach 3 times the speed of sound, so the ramjet engine with simple structure and faster speed cannot be equipped with fighter jets. It is generally used on missiles or drones. After the M value breaks through 3, the rocket engine is turned off, the ramjet engine works, and the speed of the drone continues to soar.


    The drone is currently climbing up, and after reaching the highest point, it will dive down.


    The G value of the drone has exceeded 12, and the fighter jet can withstand a maximum acceleration of 9 G. If it exceeds the acceleration, the aircraft is likely to disintegrate, and the pilot cannot bear it and dies violently. The graphene-clad drone easily pushes the limits, eventually sustaining its speed at Mach 15...and then slowing down and turning around.


    An Feng was surprised: "Why don''t you continue?"


    "Passive radar warning, we have been scanned." Hal called up the satellite image, and the unmanned aerial vehicle is currently 2,000 kilometers away from Tanzania, in the middle of the Indian Ocean. It may be the Indian Navy or the US Navy. Anyway, something flying so fast can easily be mistaken for a missile.


    It is not an ordinary missile, and it takes an intercontinental missile to reach this speed.


    At present, although several major countries also have aerospace planes, the United States is the only one that plays sensuality, and they still fly outside the atmosphere. Like the current low-altitude flight, the Americans can''t do it, so when they scan the nearby radar waves, they find an object approaching within 300 kilometers, and they are almost scared to pee!


    Unfortunately, after the UFO slowed down, it turned around and continued to accelerate away. The estimated maximum speed reached Mach 15, and then exceeded the radar detection radius. It was completely lost in a few minutes. Everyone likes to define this unknown event as a "UFO event".


    ��


    In fact, this is a night-moving US aircraft carrier formation.


    They are performing routine missions at night, but there is no major event in the Indian Ocean, and it is getting late, so the personnel can''t help but relax their vigilance. Wait until the sound of radar scanning for unknown objects sounds, and then confirm that the super-high-speed object has advanced nearly 100 kilometers forward. distance.


    There are two "Burke" class destroyers in the aircraft carrier formation, equipped with the "Aegis" system, Americans boast that they can scan a radius of 1,000 kilometers, but in fact the earth is round, and the radar wave speed is a straight line, 1,000 kilometers Only 450 kilometers unless you specifically scan the sky overhead.


    If the situation is not good, 400 kilometers is not bad. Therefore, from the scanning of Aegis to the unknown low-altitude object, and then to the response interval, the opponent is already so close, and the rhythm is decisively frightening. The American officers and soldiers on board couldn''t figure out what was flying so fast at low altitude?


    At first, I suspected ICBMs, but ICBMs must have been dropped from the top of the head, and they could be sensed a thousand kilometers away. The interception that should be intercepted is waiting for death. The unidentified object flew very low this time, and rushed towards it at such a high speed. If it was a missile, it would be unimaginable.


    With such a speed, the "Standard", "Sea Sparrow" and "HiRAM" systems are too late to respond, and perhaps the phalanx of short-range defense weapons can ring a few times.


    Just as the fleet reacted quickly, the aircraft in the radar map turned around and accelerated the evacuation.


    The carrier-based early warning aircraft of the US military is ready to take off.


    The AWACS took off reluctantly, and scanned with its large radar on its back, but found nothing. The opponent was too fast, low-altitude and quick to respond, and none of them matched the existing conditions. It was eventually submitted as a classified document, representing the "UFO Incident in the Indian Ocean".


    After this accidental contact, the dual aircraft carrier formation of the US military has been operating nearby for a while, trying to try their luck, but unfortunately they still can��t find it. They are also guessing, who has this ability? India? joke! But in the Indian Ocean, apart from India, there is only the United States. Is it really a UFO?


    I can''t understand it.

 Chapter 420： "Surprise" Halloween

    Chapter 420 "Surprise" Halloween


    An Feng, who participated in this incident that confused the US military, did not have the awareness to tease others.


    After the unmanned aerial vehicle rushed out, it was able to return safely. This result is very satisfactory, and it also means that the machine can be recycled. In addition to the test results, it is still very good. He has no plan to manufacture fighter jets, so he does not refer to combat links, and only uses them in the space field.


    An Feng browsed the data obtained by Hal''s quick calculation, and said with satisfaction: "The graphene fuselage is really strong enough. If the dose of the rocket propulsion is increased, and a conventional turbojet engine is added, there may be enough power to break through. Atmosphere, entered the earth''s orbit."


    Hal said: "Continue to adjust the volume of the aircraft, take into account the carrying capacity and launch cost, find the most suitable point, and then test."


    "Very good." An Feng said, he felt that the day of going to space, or even going to the moon to mine for mining was approaching, and it might be realized within four or five years.


    While they were talking, the door was knocked several times.


    "Come in." An Feng said, Hal turned off some data displays, pushed the door open, and Alice ran to An Feng''s side bouncing around.


    The little girl shook his arm: "Daddy, Daddy."


    "What''s the matter?" An Feng looked down at her.


    Alice glanced at the holographic screen in front of An Feng, and greeted: "Uncle Hal!"


    "Hello, Alice," Hal said.


    "Dad, I forgot." Alice looked back at him.


    An Feng smiled and carried her to the table, saying: "Think slowly, Dad is not in a hurry."


    Alice nodded and turned to Hal: "Uncle Hal, what are you doing?"


    "Mr. An and I are discussing graphene technology." Hal said, there is no child model in his character, and his speech is very stiff.


    "Oh." She nodded, and suddenly remembered: "Dad, how do we spend Halloween?"


    "How do you want to live?" An Feng said, it is almost the end of October, and Halloween is a festival for children to harvest candy and joy.


    Alice said: "I want to wear a princess dress, other costumes don''t look good!"


    "Okay, let''s wear a princess dress and let the other children wear ugly witch cloaks." An Feng continued following her preferences.


    "I want my mother to wear Queen of Hearts clothes." Alice went on, "and come with me to ask for candy."


    "The Empress of Love can only be worn at home, and others will laugh when she wears it outside." An Feng persuaded, it is actually a short skirt with high heels and stockings.


    "You can''t let mother wear that, mother must be very serious." Alice said.


    "Where did you hear that?" An Feng smiled.


    "Mom said it in the mirror, when she was putting on lipstick." Alice drew a picture around her mouth with her finger, "Daddy, can I also put on red?"


    "You are still young, it doesn''t look good when painted, like an old witch." An Feng said.


    "Ah! No!" She shook her head decisively.


    ��


    Children in the United States are more courageous, because they always play various ghosts on Halloween, and even knock on the door to ask for candy, and smash rotten eggs if they don��t give it... An Feng very much agrees that children have this kind of activity, to practice their courage. It''s not like when he walked at night when he was a child, he always thought that there was a headless corpse following behind him.


    Alice is also preparing her costume, which has to be filmed because it is homework.


    The homework given by the teacher is to record the Halloween cosplay, preferably with parents, because there are many homework assignments in American elementary schools that are not completed by children independently, and will be related to parents. Like this time, it is a cooperative project. Be photogenic.


    The couple took their children to the local clothing store.


    The clothing store near Halloween is always very lively, with a strong theme atmosphere. There are children''s areas and adult areas, which are subdivided into many types. Alice hopped and hopped among the clothes, and finally chose a red princess dress with There are white round spots, plus a pair of devil horns that glow red.


    The youngest son, Fred, was decided by An Feng. He chose a set of ghostly black cloaks for the child, including a screaming mask. In order to complete the homework, adults also choose clothes.


    Wait until Halloween, Alice and Fred change into costumes, bring a small bucket of candy, and get in the car.


    An Feng drove them to the nearby residential areas. There are different vineyards here, surrounded by residential areas. After walking around a few times, they chose a street with the most jack-o-lanterns, parked on the side of the road, and Alice ran excitedly. Come out, Joanna goes to unbuckle Fred.


    The two children went to the first house where the jack-o-lantern was hung and knocked on the door.


    Soon, the door opened, and the person who opened the door was an old man in his fifties or sixties. Alice and Fred stretched out their kegs and said in unison, "Trick or treat!"


    The old man took the candy basket from the old woman beside him with a smile on his face, and handed it over: "Children, you are the first batch to arrive, so choose whatever you want."


    "Thank you sir and madam." Alice and Fred said, the lines had already been memorized.


    An Feng stepped forward with the camera and asked, "Sir, would you mind taking a photo of the event together? I need it for my child''s homework."


    "No problem." The old man said, his wife came out and stood with the children posing with their teeth and claws. An Feng took some group photos for them.


    Follow An Feng and show them the effect: "How is it?"


    "Very good!" said the old man.


    Talk to the family a few more times, and walk to the next stop on the grounds that the children will continue to harvest the loot. Mom and Dad followed, and soon, Fred''s basket was half full, and he was still young and weak, so Mom helped him get some candy, and Fred continued to run with his sister.


    "It''s dark, run slowly." Joanna said behind her.


    An Feng''s cell phone rang, and when he saw it was Wang Le''s, he answered, "Hey, how much did your baby gain?"


    "It''s just a little bit. I don''t have many pumpkin heads hanging on my side. I''m tired from walking. How about you?"


    "Don''t go to those super-rich areas, where there is only one family every few tens of meters, and you don''t necessarily engage in this kind of activity. If you come to my place, the street is full of jack-o-lanterns, and there are a lot of brats on the street. It feels like going to the garden at night, but it''s lively."


    "Oh!" After all, Wang Le just moved here, and An Feng understood after this reminder, "We will move our position immediately!"


    On the way to beg for candy, I met many friends. Matthew also took William to the streets to sweep. The little guy was biting chocolate, and his parents were full of trophies. He smiled happily. Christina also reminded him to eat less, Watch out for cavities, this is the last piece of Cloud.


    Walking down Santiao Street, the children''s candy buckets were already full.


    Although there are still many places with lights on, I am tired from playing and return with a full load of loot.


    According to Alice''s request, Mom and Dad also went to change costumes, preparing for the last item of homework: taking a photo with the family in Halloween event costumes.


    An Feng wore blood-stained western cowboy clothing, as if he had just returned from a duel, while Joanna wore a dress, a gorgeous female vampire style, with a waist-length and ankle-length skirt. The enchanting red and **** black matched each other, and the style completely matched Like Alice: well-groomed.


    The maid helped them take a few group photos, finished their homework, and continued to celebrate.


    There are many people in the manor, and Halloween parties will be very lively. Matthew and Wang Le''s family also joined, and even the serious housekeeper Brandon also played the part of the vampire housekeeper according to the theme, and then the whole house was decorated or used Holographic technology creates a spooky atmosphere.


    Right now, it''s completely in the rhythm of "Haunted Castle".


    Playing until almost twelve o''clock, everyone said goodbye one by one. Tired of playing, An Feng also went back to the room with Joanna. She walked in front, and An Feng closed the door and turned off the lights behind. He said, "Female vampire, are you ready to **** the blood from my body tonight?"


    "It depends on whether you behave well or not." Joanna said.


    An Feng picked her up and crossed the front hall to sit on the edge of the bed. Joanna sat on his lap and asked, "How do I look?"


    "It''s very charming, I can''t leave my eyes all night..." An Feng said, holding her hand on the back and untying the rope around her waist, the tube top dress slipped off, this scene under the dark night, especially There was an atmosphere, the two looked at each other, sparks lit up in the dark night, Joanna pushed him down, and kissed his lips passionately.


    Under the moonlight, there was a little guy hidden behind the curtains. She pushed the curtains and shouted, "Da da! I''m a vampire..."


    "Mom and Dad, what are you doing?"


    An Feng almost vomited blood, and Alice hid in the curtain, looking at them curiously. Joanna''s back was facing her, her smooth back was exposed, An Feng pulled up the blanket next to her to cover her exposed upper body, Joanna also turned around unexpectedly, and looked at the dazed Alice.


    An Feng scratched his head: "Your mother and I are...testing whether this bed is firm..."


    "Hmph! You are kissing!" Alice said unconvinced.


    An Feng sweated: "Okay, child, but you have to know that it is normal for me to kiss your mother. When you grow up, you will understand why."


    "Why?" Alice came.


    An Feng stopped: "Mom will explain to you in detail later, but it is already very late today, why don''t you go back to your room to sleep and hide here?"


    "Dad is angry." She pouted.


    "Dad is not angry, Dad just asked you." An Feng said.


    "I want to surprise you," she said.


    There is no hi, but it is indeed shocking enough. An Feng said: "Alice, this is scary, not a surprise, you know? You see, my mother turned pale from fright."


    "Huh?" Alice ran over, "Mom, are you okay?"


    Joanna shook her head in response to An Feng: "Mom is very bad, Alice scared her, and I can''t sleep at night."


    "I was wrong, I shouldn''t do this." The little girl said, reached out to touch her mother''s face, and kissed her, "Mom, I will kiss you too."


    An Feng smiled: "You have to be careful not to do this in the future, not only parents, but also other people."


    "I won''t." She nodded sensibly.


    Joanna couldn''t help laughing: "Mom is much better, we don''t blame you, Alice."


    An Feng also said at the right time: "Mom is fine, Alice should go to bed too, come on, Dad will take you back."


    "Good night, Mom." She beckoned to Joanna with her little hand.


    "Good night, Alice!" Joanna wrapped her body in a blanket and beckoned to her.


    An Feng was about to leave when Joanna grabbed him: "Clothes!"


    An Feng smiled and buttoned the button, lowered his head and kissed her: "Take it off and wait for me!"


    "Be serious, in front of the children!" She said angrily.


    An Feng hugged Alice with a smile, sent the little girl back to the room with the cheers of the little girl, covered her with the quilt, kissed her forehead good night, and then went to the next door to see Fred, who had already fallen asleep in the small bed . After checking the two children, An Feng walked briskly back to the house.


    Just as I was about to turn on the light when I entered the room, a scent of fragrance hit me, and a soft body pressed against my back, and a voice rang in my ears: "You are my prey tonight."


    An Feng smiled: "Should I be afraid?"


    "No." She whispered in his ear, "You should use your lips and hands to soothe my temper... shall we play horse riding tonight?"


    "what?"


    She suddenly changed her style: "I suddenly want to do this! Quick, walk around the room with my back on your back!"


    "Pfft!" An Feng vomited blood, how did it become like this!

 Chapter 421： plan to start

    Chapter 421 plan begins


    After Halloween, the year is almost over.


    An Feng is the same as before, every time he gets a headache, according to the personal financial report submitted by the think tank, the problem of taxation is bothering him. Coupled with the US government''s possible policy on offshore finance, it also means that his property will be exposed to the world.


    The current serious issue is taxation. In the past November and February, he usually spent money and donations.


    Luxury cruise ships are built in this way. The consortium''s plan for this year has not yet been established and implemented. According to Matthew, it will be soon. But he has to make some other plans. Donating money is undoubtedly the fastest way, but the donation deduction is not directly using the tax to deduct the donation amount, but to deduct the taxable income, and he also loses.


    In addition to donations, it is business investment. When Anderson was in power, he passed a bill that was beneficial to the super rich. It probably said that all listed companies investing in the United States, which usually promote society or green environmental protection, can enjoy higher benefits. Amount of tax deduction.


    Qualified investments can deduct a higher amount of personal tax. This is also the reason why An Feng spent more than 5 billion yuan to fully control Xingkong Exploration Company. Private aerospace companies are eligible, and investment can reduce taxable income. That year, his personal tax was only 3 million, which was the best time.


    In December, Joanna continued to donate one billion US dollars to the Elizabeth Foundation. The capital of the foundation expanded to 18 billion US dollars, of which 12 billion was donated, and the rest was the profit from business investment. Partial tax exemption, envious of companies that pay income tax.


    Regular newspapers will also mention this matter. According to the regulations of the United States for non-profit foundations, 5% of their total assets must be donated each year, which is 900 million US dollars, for charity. In fact, the expenditure of foundations is higher than this minimum standard. Much higher, last year there was 1.5 billion expenditures.


    Every time a donation is made, there is no lack of praise from all walks of life. One billion is indeed a lot, even 100 million is worth reporting. But how the outside world has no influence on them. Joanna has a very indifferent attitude towards fame and fortune. Donating this money is not as important as her concern for her children''s holiday plan.


    An Feng also doesn''t care about fame, he just treats it as a routine link in his life. Anyway, he has experienced it a few years before he became famous. It is estimated that the people in the society are like him, a little numb. If Joanna no longer Donations may attract more attention than generous donations.


    ��


    When Christmas is coming, An Feng is busy.


    He had to put down some leisure plans with his wife and children, and flew back and forth between Europe and America by plane.


    The reason is that the time for the consortium to implement the plan is right, and how to cut in is not decided by them, but by the law of the market. Recently, at the end of the year, when the economy is counted for a year, many people in the economic circle are optimistic about the US economy this year, and believe that the dollar will rise slightly.


    It was at this time that the consortium decided to take action, and any meetings and discussions were conducted in the most primitive way��face-to-face conversation. There are hardly any related words mentioned in the communication, and the location of the date is also uncertain. An Feng has already traveled to England, France and Italy.


    It felt like a spy joint, and An Feng cooperated tirelessly. Although it is a financial investment, if it is premeditated to short an economy at a specific price, it will be investigated and prosecuted. In the past, when multiple hedge funds in the United States jointly shorted the euro, the Federal Reserve and the US Department of Justice both intervened in the investigation.


    This time, the means are more direct and the amount is larger. As the people behind the scenes, they must disassociate themselves.


    Furthermore, Anfeng has a lot of private funds that are too large, and he needs to transfer them in person. Anfeng has three Swiss bank accounts, each of which exceeds 10 billion, and seven company accounts. It is difficult to transfer money with one phone call. You have to notify in advance, make an appointment to meet, and then the account manager will confirm and implement the operation.


    What An Feng frequently does is express his opinion and transfer money.


    The consortium has prepared funds equivalent to 800 billion U.S. dollars, ready to stir up this muddy water, and through the influence of other commodity economic fields, three-dimensionally affect the entire situation. The economies of Europe and the United States look good, but Europe has not yet shaken off the impact of European debt, and the United States, to be honest, the Great Depression of the last century has not disappeared. It only uses hegemony and world currency to maintain prosperity and let the people of the world pay for it.


    U.S. capitalists in turn short the U.S. economy, which is relatively rare and risky.


    Including An Feng, they all know how serious the consequences of failure are, but if they don''t do it, it''s even more inappropriate to accumulate so much money with the ups and downs of the international market, or be threatened by new policies. It''s a golden opportunity to make a fortune.


    ��


    After ten days of continuous running, An Feng finally settled down a few days before Christmas. An Feng returned to California and decided to spend this Christmas in a vineyard.


    There are many relatives and friends here, and it is more lively. They go together to cut the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve.


    Alice hugged her thigh as usual: "Daddy, I''m going too!"


    "Didn''t I tell you not to let you go?" An Feng said, putting on a hat for her, "It''s a bit cold outside, put on the hat before going out."


    "Grandpa Santa''s red hat." Alice straightened the hat and turned around in front of him, "Is Daddy pretty?"


    "Wow! Where did the pretty girl come from?" An Feng said with a smile. Alice, like her mother, was very happy and satisfied to hear these compliments.


    An Feng''s brother-in-law came at this time: "Do you need my help?"


    "No need, use a chainsaw to saw two small pine trees, and I have an appointment, no problem." An Feng said, "Alice, let''s go."


    Alice followed her father who was carrying the saw.


    An Feng drove out the pickup, and Alice brought a little black dog she just met at home. The car came down the mountain and met Henry who was driving a pickup truck at an intersection. An Feng honked the horn, rolled down the window and greeted him: "Hi, Henry! Let''s go!"


    "OK! I''ll lead the way!" Henry started the car and walked ahead.


    Henry was also the first group of friends that An Feng met. He was a young boy who hadn''t graduated from high school, and he pestered him to learn Kung Fu. He was the first to call him the English name of "Bruce", which led to other people. Feng got used to it and simply used it as the English name of the passport.


    Time flies, Henry is not young now, he is eight years younger than An Feng, he should be thirty-one this year, married two years ago, and has a child. An Feng had attended their wedding, but this guy''s personality was still active, and there was a cake fight at the wedding banquet.


    Drive to the nearby pine forest, and look for trees near the car.


    "That''s them!" Henry patted the pine tree, "Alice back off, let your Uncle Henry deal with it!"


    "Okay." Wearing little red boots, Alice ran behind a big pine tree, revealing a small head.


    An Feng smiled: "This is a tree, not a bear. There is no need to run so far."


    Henry started the chainsaw, Alice covered her ears, An Feng watched from the side, and he skillfully sawed off a conical pine tree.


    Follow Henry and continue to saw the second one, without An Feng doing the whole process, just providing the chainsaw.


    "It''s done!" Henry put down the chainsaw, clapped his hands, and lit a cigarette for himself.


    Alice ran over and looked at the two pine trees on the ground: "Uncle Henry is amazing."


    "Of course, I have learned Kung Fu." Henry said proudly.


    An Feng couldn''t figure out what this had to do with kung fu, wasn''t it thanks to the chainsaw? "


    "Father, I also want to learn Kung Fu." Alice looked at him.


    "You just learned what you learned yesterday afternoon." An Feng said, "Alice, choose a Christmas tree."


    "I want this." She pointed to one of them.


    "Okay, let''s choose it." An Feng put on his gloves and bent down to grab the pine tree. Henry picked up the rest, and the two returned the same way, talking about the Christmas party by the way. Usually, the more people there are, the more interesting it is. Henry also intends to participate, and everyone is going to have a lot of fun.


    "Let''s go, Kiki!" Alice said to the little black dog, following her father and uncle.


    ��


    After coming back, it was to decorate the Christmas tree. An Feng had no idea, but Xiaoyu and Alice were full of plans, and they took over the work.


    Others are responsible for thinking about what to eat for Christmas and what activities to do after the meal.


    An Feng has nothing to do, he sits and plays with his mobile phone and reads the news. Recently, he pays more attention to economic news, because things may be the same as the last cold in the United States. The impact may not be as wide, but it cannot be ignored. The Internet is currently singing about the US economy.


    On the other side of the ocean, the United Kingdom and France have recently reduced their gold reserves, and then someone bought them quietly. An Feng checked the previous records. It seems that they are not the only ones who are interested in the overall situation, but other behind-the-scenes people are also Let''s start, the difference is that their attitude is the opposite of that of the Texas consortium.


    An Feng and his group think that the dollar is unstable, the euro and gold must rise, and the other side is the opposite.


    But the difference is that the consortium will not be led by the nose of economic laws, their hundreds of billions of funds are used to disrupt the situation and confuse the eye. Ordinary investment groups are "gambling", but this super consortium relies on its own funds and means. The former is gambling, and the latter is fighting for brains and wealth.


    Having other participants join the game will undoubtedly make the situation more exciting.


    But just like the calm before the storm, it is estimated that for a period of time, the US dollar will continue to prosper, and gold will continue to sell unbearably, and the crisis in Europe will be magnified again... until the return is maximized, and a key reversal breaks out. It will be a good time to harvest.


    "dad!"


    While An Feng was staring at the phone in a daze, Fred''s voice sounded beside him.


    Fred climbed on the sofa and looked at him. An Feng put down his phone and hugged his youngest son on his lap: "Mom and aunt went shopping, and I won''t be back until later."


    "Yeah." He nodded.


    "How about playing a guessing game with you, Dad?" An Feng said.


    Fred said: "Dad, I want to hang socks by the bed, and my sister said that Santa Claus will have presents."


    Fred, who is almost two years old, has already expressed his words very clearly. An Feng nodded: "Okay, I will help Fred hang socks by the bed at night, waiting for gifts."


    "Thank you, Dad." He said happily.


    "What gift do you want?" An Feng asked.


    "Jigsaw puzzles," Fred said. He seemed to like these toys that tested logic and intelligence.


    "The little socks can''t fit." An Feng said, Fred was disappointed, he continued with a smile: "It''s okay, let''s use mother''s silk=socks to fill it."

 Chapter 422： Investigate "illegal"

    Chapter 422 investigation "illegal"


    Only An Feng came up with this method.


    But the effect was good. After waking up the next day, Fred got a Christmas gift from his mother''s stockings. The bigger the puzzle area, the more intelligence and patience it will test. And for the little genius, it was just a game with a little more thought. After five days, he announced that it was completed, which won the praise of the adults.


    After Christmas, the family went to England.


    Besides going on vacation, An Feng also has something to talk to Bazel about. The relationship between this plan is too complicated. After discussing it with Joanna privately, he couldn''t figure it out, so Bazel, who is familiar with the overall situation, needs to explain it. , they live very close together, both in the southwest of London.


    The outcome of the discussion remains complex.


    Dozens of investment companies, fund management companies, foundations, banks and other industries are involved in this, and even the real economy will also play a role. For example, if Bida stops supplying to a certain country, it will definitely cause inventory Prices go up, money goes out.


    Bazel is not a financial professional, anyway, they are going to make a financial move that will make the giant cold.


    An Feng didn''t care about it, and followed everyone, and everyone was prosperous.


    Rest in the villa at the beginning of the month.


    In the afternoon, we encountered the rare sunny weather in London. They leaned on the wooden deck chairs in the yard, covered with a blanket, and basked in the sun leisurely. The robot served them snacks and drinks. The two children were playing on the swings. Ruth pushed Fred, laughing.


    An Feng flipped through the "Glamour" magazine in his hand: "The ranking of the best dressed of the year is out."


    "Let me see." Joanna stretched out her hand.


    Every year, the magazine likes to make rankings. Due to its great influence, the rankings have also attracted many people''s attention. This year, Joanna still maintains the third place. She doesn''t make many appearances, but there are amazing people in the equestrian events in June. Performance, styling wins favor.


    Joanna was naturally happy, but she frowned again.


    "What''s wrong?" An Feng looked at her.


    She complained a bit and said: "The ones in front of me are always young girls in their twenties. Do you think I have fallen behind the times?"


    "Huh?" An Feng was surprised, at least he ranked third. How can such a high ranking be related to not keeping up with the times?


    Seeing that An Feng was silent, she said, "You think so too?"


    "How is it possible!" An Feng shook his head resolutely, "You look about twenty-six or seventeen years old, I''m sure it''s because you don''t have many appearances, next year you will make more appearances in front of the camera, and I will go to Hollywood with me in March Party, walk on the red carpet, and guarantee to win the first place next year."


    Although she knew she wasn''t young anymore, she was still in a good mood when she heard the compliment. She took out the small mirror in her bag and looked at her face. Her face could not tell her age. She had been drinking top-quality biological drinks for a long time, and her appearance had been fixed. Only one''s own temperament is changing.


    Seeing her smiling in the mirror, An Feng also smiled. This psychological level is still very easy to pass.


    ��


    Since January, the world economy has been undercurrent.


    After An Feng returned to California, he also continued to pay attention, and at the same time strengthened the communication with the members of the consortium. This is not a small investment. If the matter is big, he may have to invest hundreds of billions in it, or even more. It is the wealth of an invincible country, not a pile of waste paper.


    January was relatively calm, the US dollar rose slightly, and gold continued to fall. In recent years, the price of gold has risen and fallen, and generally speaking, it is falling, so investors have different opinions. However, the consumption of gold in Asia is very high, and aunts always feel that Holding gold is better than any currency.


    After February, the situation has changed. The debts of several developed countries in Europe are being consumed. On the surface, there is a thriving trend. Whether it is the euro or the stock market, this change has attracted investors of all sizes. This is in contrast to the uncertainty of the US dollar pattern.


    An Feng knows that the consortium is already making a move. They are betting on the future in Europe and North America. The difference is that they are long (think rising) and short (think falling). Some previous cases were different, they started from various aspects. The dollar''s decline has already begun to show signs.


    In March, the U.S. Congress reviewed the draft on the investigation of gray areas such as offshore accounts of multinational companies and offshore financial behavior. The rules also required major companies to keep accounting records. It''s on the Republican side.


    In contrast, the public supported the move.


    Because of the good public relations methods in the early stage, newspapers and media are intentionally or unintentionally promoting the gray methods of these large companies, so as to accumulate funds and tax avoidance methods. Even more daring media mentioned the inside story of offshore company accounts being secretly held by Americans. This is another move by the U.S. government to lift the financial fig leaf after forcing the Swiss government to release UBS account data of Americans.


    But soon, under pressure, the media deleted the relevant reports.


    An Feng began to feel that the concealed life of being a rich man was about to leave, but it would not be too soon. Even if the bill was passed, it would be the first to investigate multinational companies, and then it would be the turn of private private means��this would have to be done by people in the offshore financial district. Agree, there is no such thing as six or seven years.


    This time the Democratic Party is very firm on this bill. It seems that in response to this, the US dollar began to decline, and some groups bought a large amount of gold, which is also driving up the price of gold. The two ends of the balance have changed. The Internet also began to appear brick speech.


    The fall of the U.S. dollar is not a good thing. In order to prevent this, the Americans have a large amount of gold reserves. Maybe this is just a drop in the bucket for big countries, but the hegemony of the U.S. dollar is based on many aspects, such as the U.S. military power, technological power, Even social influence.


    There is a joke that once the United States runs out of money, it will drive its aircraft carrier fleet to the door of other countries to make a few rounds to ensure that they will buy U.S. debt.


    The matter is not that serious now, because the consortium has just taken the first step, and the subsequent rounds of bombing have not yet come.


    At this moment, the situation suddenly changed.


    An investment company located on Wall Street was visited by the Ministry of Justice one day in early April for unknown reasons. The next day, three foreign-invested companies were investigated. The Ministry of Justice required their hedge funds to keep documents such as transaction records related to the U.S. dollar to investigate whether they were suspected of colluding to short the U.S. dollar.


    The basis for judging whether short selling is illegal is very vague. Generally speaking, it is to investigate whether senior executives have negotiated a specific price and conspired to trade. The evidence that is most likely to be caught is a party. Several financial crocodiles chatted at a dinner party and reached an agreement in secret, but were caught by spies and convicted.


    When An Feng got the bad news from Matthew, it got even worse. Matthew answered another call and said to him, "Several executives from Rand Investment Bank have been arrested."


    "What''s going on?" An Feng frowned.


    The Rand Investment Bank is the obvious target of the consortium, and it is also a giant on Wall Street, but it was suddenly visited by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Ministry of Justice and the FBI, and several of the top executives were invited away, including a well-known Wall Street investor. Genius Johnny Heyman.


    Matthew explained on the phone: "The specifics are not clear, but we can only say sorry."


    An Feng knew it was not safe on the phone, so he didn''t say much: "God bless them."


    The specific reason is still suspected of joint short-selling. This time their opponents came prepared, and when the Texas consortium started to move, they launched an attack. The next day, the "Wall Street Journal" began to report on the incident, focusing on the joint shorting of the US dollar by domestic investment companies and foreign companies.


    The newspaper said the Department of Justice has knowledge of at least several high-level fund managers who attended a private dinner in Manhattan, New York in March, led by financial tycoon Johnny Heyman and reached a deal with them that also included illegal shorting of the Canadian dollar. , Combination behavior of long yen.


    As soon as the report came out, the financial world was in an uproar.


    To say that Hyman''s reputation is not small, a billionaire, a celebrity of the Rand Investment Bank, many of the decisions he made have an impact on other industries, and he is also a weathervane for some people to judge... Generally speaking, he is the BOSS, and the judicial The Ministry has now invited this BOSS away to investigate, and a sensation is inevitable.


    If they maliciously shorted the euro, it would not be surprising if it was the British pound - Americans have always been like this.


    But conspiring to short the dollar in turn is rare.


    Heyman, who was invited to go under house arrest for investigation, was also very straightforward in the face of questioning, and he was surprisingly cooperative.


    The dollar��s ??decline stabilized the next day. Everyone thought that the financial tycoon was under investigation and the illegal short-selling case should be over, but if they saw Heyman��s calm look when he was under investigation, they would know that things would not be easy. Colleagues on Wall Street are even more aware that Heyman is just a spokesperson.


    Standing behind the investment bank is the capitalist Robin Dross. He is currently using GP''s quantum communication technology to talk to the real behind-the-scenes people through a communication method that cannot be deciphered. Although the Rand investment bank was investigated, the Justice Department did not decide to move Dross.


    This guy is too big, he is a member of the Texas consortium, and behind him are several industry leaders. Some things have not yet come to an end, just like two countries can have a war of words, but they will definitely not develop immediately. Like nuclear war, the logic here is the same.


    An Feng got a decision from Matthew: "Give up Rand Investment Bank."


    That is, the spokesperson was completely sacrificed, but the consortium will treat things related to him well. At present, the opponent is moving too fast, and the blockbuster of the consortium has not been dropped, and the opponent is shooting with machines. As a result, the consortium, a giant that is ready to go, is a little hesitant.


    This matter did not hurt the overall plan. The consortium is multi-faceted, the main body is in Europe, and the US dollar, Canadian dollar and Japanese yen are considered extra money.


    Affecting the U.S. dollar is only an inevitable side effect��Johnny Heyman and his like have only touched the surface of the matter. He thought that the boss of the company would take advantage of the situation to short the U.S. dollar and earn tens of billions. Trillions of funds have laid more than one line.


    These series of actions are just appetizers, and the main event is still to come.


    ��


    As for the U.S. government, the president answered a call from former President Anderson. He brought some suggestions: "On certain matters, enough is enough. You have to know that there is no absolute victory. If you continue to develop, you will only lose to both sides, and it will even turn into an unmanageable situation." endgame."


    "Mr. Anderson, are you reminding me?" said the current president.


    "I''m just offering a suggestion as an outsider, you should know how muddy the water is here."


    "I will consider your suggestion."


    The current president didn''t hear what Anderson said, and he thought it was about those bills. Although the influence is very wide, many congressmen are against it, and even the former president has come out to speak out, but if these vampires can also bleed, Taking risks may lead to greater success.


    Anderson smiled wryly as he listened to the busy signal on the phone. He has done his best, and what he did is the maximum that the Texas consortium can tolerate. He knows how powerful they are, because he has personally watched them grow in the past ten years. If it is a confrontation in the United States, maybe the government has a chance of winning.


    But these guys have taken root all over the world.

 Chapter 423： Disassembly transfer

    Chapter 423 Disassembly transfer


    The temporary setback in the United States cannot stop the consortium from attacking in an all-round way.


    Mainstream media, including "Wall Street Journal" and "Reuters", are all talking about this matter, saying that from January to April, the financial giants headed by Heyman experienced ups and downs from joy to bad news, and there are many short sellers. The turmoil has passed, and the market is once again clear about the joy.


    There is nothing wrong with such a comment. The media have used past experience to judge that the U.S. financial stability has indeed been restored in the future. But most people have underestimated the global plans of the behind-the-scenes consortium and their huge funds that have nowhere to spend, and the game has just begun.


    Global trade also leads to a serious mutual influence on economic changes. In the last financial crisis, the most obvious ones were the United States and Europe. Once the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, Europe on the other side of the Atlantic also followed suit. The method is different and relatively stable.


    To put it simply, the consortium wants to grasp all the trends and laws and make a bet on the future.


    It doesn''t look easy, but there is currently no better way to spend the funds they deposited.


    In May, the United States was calm, but some European countries complained, saying that the financial giants headed by Soros and Cohen in the United States, their investment companies, and hedge funds were shorting the euro, but because the behavior could not prove whether the hedge funds jointly shorted it, it was difficult to define Violation.


    These Wall Street giants took advantage of the Texas consortium and released bad news when the dollar was rising to scare Europe, whose economy was not very stable. As a result, they fell in panic, and the hedge funds made a fortune, billions Dollar money flows to the United States.


    Two incidents occurred on Wall Street in the first half of the year: the giant led by Rand Investment Bank was suspected of shorting the US dollar and was investigated, the company��s stock price fell, and the high-level executives had no intention of recovering; and the financial giants may conspire to short the euro, the Ministry of Justice went around without any results , The giants made billions.


    It is the European and Texas consortium that pays.


    But the tycoons riding horses in Anfeng Manor did not have the slightest awareness of losing money. They talked and laughed happily, competing with each other in equestrian skills. Bazel, who is in his sixties, is old and vigorous. Taking bio-drinks for a long time makes people not feel his specific age, and he is more energetic than what An Feng has seen in the past.


    Bazel rode across the triple jump barrier, and the crowd applauded.


    Bazel patted the horse''s neck: "Good horse! Although he is older, the actual experience is not weaker than that of the younger ones!"


    Austin said: "If you don''t show up, who will know the strength?"


    "It makes sense." Matthew said, "Let the younger perform first this time."


    They obviously have something to say. They keep commenting on the current economic situation. The recent days have indeed been ups and downs. It makes people feel that this game is not easy, because they will be against many people. Of course, the appearance cannot determine the result, just like the good horse praised by Bazel.


    "Then the center of gravity will be completely shifted?" An Fengce immediately stepped forward.


    Austin said: "First put it in Europe, when you bet on its future rise, and now someone helps us lower the price, how comfortable it is!"


    An Feng said: "I feel that the situation is chaotic now."


    Matthew said: "In fact, we are all the same, specifically how those flexible heads operate, and where our funds are used. When you regard yourself as the commander who is only responsible for giving orders, ignore the process, and wait for the end. When it comes out, it will be clear."


    "It''s the same." An Feng said, it''s easy to think so, that is, I invest, wait for a period of time, and then recover the cost and profit.


    Bazel turned his horse''s head around and said: "We have to transfer some capital in the United States. The probability of passing that bill is very high."


    Matthew said: "It''s not a good thing for GDP."


    Matthew said this lightly, but it is definitely bad news for the U.S. economy. If the capital of the consortium is transferred... the revenue of the main large companies of the consortium will safely exceed 4 trillion U.S. dollars. If half of it is taken out, the U.S. GDP will also be corresponding This part is missing.


    So this is their trump card, and it''s going to be used. The outflow of a large amount of American capital, even if the American economy is prosperous, will scare many people. They will think that it is a superficial illusion, and it will develop into fear and caution. This move is almost irresistible.


    Whether it''s a program requirement, or a **** bill, they''ve got to do it.


    At present, the U.S. Congress is also focusing on reviewing the proposed draft to establish new rules to check the economic behavior of multinational companies overseas, because a senator broke the news that a bunch of giants have accumulated nearly trillions of funds, which the tax bureau failed to calculate Taxes and fees may reach 300 billion U.S. dollars.


    However, it is one thing for a congressman to speculate, but another for whether there is evidence.


    As a result, tricks will definitely be detected, but the amount will not be so large. The operating investment, taxes and management expenses of enterprises in various places are all within the scope of deduction... This is not an easy thing to pass, and it is not easy to check if it is passed. Clear, there may not be any results after checking...Complicated things.


    In May, Anfeng UK partners started discussions.


    Then he told Joanna about the recent changes and an important decision of his: splitting the Gene and Tima Biological Research Center.


    Joanna was surprised: "Why did you dismantle it? It still holds a lot of shares in the company. How should we deal with it?"


    An Feng said: "A lot have been transferred and are held by individuals or offshore companies. The current structure of the research center is bloated, and the operation is no longer convenient."


    Joanna asked: "Then what is your plan?"


    An Feng said: "I just want to divide it into several parts, medical, genetics, and botany."


    ��There are efficiencies, but how do you place them?��


    An Feng continued: "I plan to transfer the medical department to the UK, and control it with your capital, your personal, your own company, charitable funds, etc. Other departments... To be honest, apart from the holding of patent shares in these years, R&D has already Not much progress, can stay in the US."


    Joanna understood: "You just want to share the company shares held by the research center?"


    "That''s right." An Feng nodded.


    "Is it because of the recent problems in the United States?"


    An Feng nodded: "There is a part of the reason. If the controversial bill is passed, many things will become clear, and it will appear that the funds are too large. In addition, you pay attention to charity and assign the medical department to you and your name. The charitable fund has a wider impact.��


    ��


    There has been a big news in the medical world recently.


    The well-known Jean and Tima Biological Research Center recently announced that due to management and funding issues, the board of directors unanimously decided to dismantle it.


    Over the years, the research center has been the benchmark of biotechnology, especially medical technology in the world. Every major breakthrough has been made by them, and they have produced five Nobel Prizes in total. Honorary coronation of the Nobel Prize in Medicine.


    But now the sudden announcement of dismantling shocked the medical world.


    Many people have doubts: Is the world''s strongest research institution going to disappear?


    However, Joseph, the director of the research center, held a press conference to express his official attitude. The split of the research center is a matter of operating efficiency. There are too many combinations of different institutions, making it difficult to implement unified management, and due to operational problems, it is impossible to coordinate every department.


    Joseph also brought good news. The research center will not disappear. The main body remains in the United States, but several important departments are dispersed. The most concerned medical department is transferred to the United Kingdom and is held by the great philanthropist Joanna Baroness. Shares also belong to her charitable fund.


    In order to facilitate management, the foundation''s medical organization is combined with the medical department, named "Elizabeth Medical Society".


    For this decision, most people agree.


    Because Joanna has a good public image, she is a pure philanthropist to the outside world. The medical department was acquired by her, and people are willing to believe that it will continue to make contributions to the world''s medical cause. According to subsequent statistics, the support rate for the research center''s move was the highest, reaching 90%.


    Other departments have also been adjusted accordingly, or disappeared, or established.


    In fact, the technology and patents belonging to the research center are almost zero, and they have been transferred out in the past few years and become held by individuals or companies. Only the headquarters still enjoys certain dividends. Dismantling the huge research center has been listed as a major issue a few years ago.


    The current headquarters is similar to Bida Company. It seems to be an unshakable giant in the global bio-drink industry, but in fact, apart from being active in the United States, the proportion of foreign subsidiaries in name is very poor. In the British subsidiary , the head office only holds a 2% share.


    The others are all held by the consortium, and Joanna and her companies account for 40% of the shares. Even Beta Company has handed over the production and technology authorization. The production authorization can freely set up processing plants, and the technology... is actually in the medical field. In the hands of the department, it has already been transferred.


    It seems complicated, but in essence it is only partially dispersed, and the total amount is constant.


    If you are interested in statistics, you will find that the companies invested by the Texas consortium have changed over the years. The company holds fewer shares in subsidiaries. It is a "subsidiary" in name, but it has actually been controlled by other business organizations. Only production or The patent license is still in hand.


    The taxes and fees that the United States can collect have been greatly reduced, and when calculating GDP, it will definitely shrink. Correspondingly, other countries give preferential treatment. For example, in the United Kingdom, the government gives the "Elizabeth Medical Society" tax incentives, and the corporate income tax is only 15%, while in the United States it is 35%.


    If the medical association makes a profit of 100 million U.S. dollars, it will pay 35 million in income tax in the United States, but only 15 million in the United Kingdom.


    There is a reason for the high tax rate in the United States. The investment environment is good, and the opportunities and benefits are greater, while the conditions in the United Kingdom are naturally not as good, so preferential policies are needed to attract people. For the medical sector, which is mainly based on medical research and charitable services, there is not much profit, and taxes are more symbolic.


    This series of turbulent measures will cause a large amount of capital outflow from the United States. Not only the Texas consortium is considering overseas and the European environment, but some other companies are also looking for markets outside the United States. relatively popular vocabulary.


    The reason is that the tax rate in the United States is too high, and companies try to transfer the company��s registration to a country with a low tax rate through acquisitions and reorganization. This is tax inversion. The consortium is doing the same thing now, but it is more inclined to get the funds out and make the United States tense.

 Chapter 424： Sudden attack [three more]

    Chapter 424 Sudden attack


    Because of the dismantling of the enterprise, An Feng has been quite busy recently.


    The relocation of the medical department to the UK must be handled properly by the relevant researchers. At present, some of those who are willing to go to the UK will get a 50% salary increase, while those who stay will remain unchanged. It doesn''t mean that after the relocation, everything has to be moved there. The department in the United States just changed from the headquarters to a branch.


    The future headquarters will be in London, and the corresponding holographic communication system will also need to be re-established. An Feng has perfected the virtual characters over the years, Ms. M, Mr. L, Ms. G, Mr. B... plus the establishment of artificial intelligence, the virtual characters are completely Have an independent personality.


    The inspirer of medical research and development rests on Mr. B.


    Joanna, as the controlling shareholder and chairman of the new company, also had to attend meetings and accept news interviews. More of her spokesperson statement. Ms. Roberts is very confident in the face of the news media. She is thin, with black hair tied up, dressed in business attire, and looks serious in front of the camera.


    She was chosen by Joanna herself. Ms. Roberts looks unsmiling and dull like an English gentleman. In fact, she is an admirer of the Baroness of Corpus Hill. She volunteered for this position. She usually speaks on behalf of Joanna. She is a media professional. She is very qualified.


    After a press release, Donna Roberts followed Joanna back to the office.


    After Joanna sat down, Roberts took out the PDA and reported the schedule: "You have a foundation meeting at eleven o''clock, followed by lunch time, at two o''clock in the afternoon to discuss the funding of the Medical Association, after three o''clock you and Husband and kids might go for a walk in the park..."


    In addition to his duties as a spokesperson, Roberts also serves as an assistant. Joanna didn''t give her much work. Only when she came to London, or when she had something to say, did Roberts need an endorsement. He was an assistant at other times. Joanna was not too extravagant in this regard.


    Joanna said: "Move the afternoon meeting to the morning, just like the eleven o''clock meeting."


    "It is expected that the two meetings will exceed the lunch time. For your health, it is recommended not to do so." Roberts looked with concern.


    Joanna shook her head: "It''s okay, um... prepare me a cup of tea and dessert, I''m going to have dinner with my family at noon."


    Roberts nodded: "Okay, I''ll do it right away."


    Joanna took out her cell phone and made a call.


    Because the child''s mother has a lot of things to do, An Feng is responsible for taking care of the child and taking the two little ones to wander the streets of London. On the way, I answered Joanna''s phone call, and listened to her complaints about how busy she was at work, this meeting and that meeting, and finally gave her encouragement and comfort.


    An Feng said: "Take it as an opportunity to show your own image, next year it will be an opportunity for you to win the best-dressed list, I believe in you."


    ��I hope so, but I wear business attire these days,�� Joanna said.


    "I think it looks pretty, and I like this occasional change of style." An Feng smiled and hugged Fred who was crawling on top of him.


    "What''s Fred doing?" she asked.


    "He wants to talk to mom." An Feng handed Fred, "Say hello to mom."


    "Mommy, I love you." Fred said into the phone.


    "I love you too, child." Joanna laughed, "Alice didn''t give you a headache, did she?"


    "No." An Feng looked up at the little girl who was being taken to buy ice cream by the female bodyguard, and she probably wouldn''t be annoying if she stuffed her mouth with something delicious.


    "I want to have dinner with you at noon." She said.


    "You choose the location, I will take the two children to occupy the place." An Feng said.


    "I like the seafood restaurant last time, the French seafood is very nostalgic." She said.


    "Okay." An Feng raised his hand and looked at his watch, "We''re leaving now, waiting for you there, what do you want to eat?"


    Holding the phone while walking and chatting, holding Fred''s little hand, another child Alice is jumping and unrestrained in front, this scene is enviable... But the bear child ran back: "Dad, I really want to go to the beach Play! Let''s go to the place with the little orange house."


    "You mean Italy?" An Feng asked.


    "Yeah." She nodded.


    "We are in London now." An Feng said.


    "And then?" Alice walked backwards.


    An Feng said: "Then Italy is in southern Europe, 1,500 kilometers away from us, and our plane needs to apply for the route in advance."


    "Oh," said Alice, "then let''s go to the seaside."


    An Feng fainted, so it was all in vain.


    ��


    In order to take care of the lack of space to accompany their children during this period, after finishing their affairs, they went south to Italy, made a tour of Milan, and then went to Sardinia to continue playing on a private island. In addition, in August Joanna participated in the inauguration ceremony of the missionary school of the Medical Association in Sardinia.


    Originally, there was no need to go through a lot of trouble, but since I was in Sardinia and was warmly invited by Mrs. Mancini, I was embarrassed not to go, so I took the whole family with me and played there for a few days. On the way, they went to Sassari to watch the special wild horse training The show is a bit like the Great American Bull Riding.


    The local equestrian atmosphere is good, and Joanna has considered asking her equestrian foundation to provide some funding... The locals naturally like it. To be honest, her fame has spread here, and some people know her well, and she was even slightly asked for a group photo or two when she went to the street.


    They returned to California in mid-August, ready to take back their crazy hearts.


    Afterwards, An Feng felt lucky and blessed. This time they came back in time and did not wander around. Because on the third day after returning, Hal reported the emergency, and it didn''t say much, it just showed the probability bar, and the column of biological virus showed dark green: 32%.


    Hal ignored An Feng who was stunned, and continued to tune out the news. This was a piece of news from France. The beautiful female anchor was talking about a recent flu outbreak in France, which appeared around the coastal areas of southern France, Marseille and other cities. Remind the general public to pay attention to travel.


    Watching the news is just an ordinary flu, but Hal calculated a 32% probability of an outbreak. Originally, the probability of this item was only 10%. With such a sudden increase, An Feng didn''t understand how to calculate it. Hal gives the truth: "I got virus data from the local hospital network."


    An Feng suddenly realized that Hal is an artificial intelligence, and it is normal to be able to do this kind of thing.


    "I checked and found that this kind of influenza virus is easy to infect and difficult to eliminate. If it cannot be eliminated in a short period of time, the probability of biological viruses may continue to increase. I combined all aspects of its characteristics and substituted the index into the equation , to get this probability."


    An Feng doesn''t doubt Hal''s calculation ability, he cares about the things over there: "Is there anything serious?"


    "There is currently no infection, only a small number of people are infected, and the hospital is controlling it." Hal said.


    "Should emergency measures be taken?" An Feng asked.


    Hal said: "I need to collect more data before I can calculate the possibility. At present, this may be the fuse, or it may be a false alarm. What we have to do is to get virus data, and we have to go through medical organizations. Only through the intervention of the virus can we get the virus sample."


    "I''ll make arrangements." An Feng said.


    An Feng got in touch with the Medical Society in the UK. The person in charge was An Feng''s former employee and had studied with him, so he had no doubts and immediately arranged to contact the French government. However, regarding the matter of obtaining virus samples, it was necessary A lot of formalities and waiting.


    An Feng was helpless. After all, France was a sovereign country, and they couldn''t just rush over to grab it.


    Two days later, the news broadcast related news that the flu had spread, and the source of infection came from Marseille, France, which was probably brought from the Arab region, because Marseille is the place with the worst smuggling in France and the worst law and order, and Arab smuggling Customers are everywhere.


    Subsequent inspections proved that the same type of influenza also appeared in Arab countries such as Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya. a lot of.


    The result is not only that Hal''s probability has increased to 50%, but the flu appeared in Italy three days later. Italy had a National Day holiday in August, and Italians ran around. Unfortunately, the flu virus was brought from France, and then the countries around France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium... all had flu.


    In late August, experts from the Elizabeth Medical Society finally obtained virus samples.


    After analysis, Hal continued to increase the probability and adjusted it to a yellow alert state. Then there was influenza in the United States. When the relevant news was reported, he accused the entry customs of negligence, but the health organization got the incubation period of the virus and the performance of the incubation period. Everything is normal, as long as it shows the characteristics of influenza during the outbreak, patients in the incubation period need specific detection tools.


    Hal said: "According to the results of the current analysis, the incubation period of the virus varies from person to person. At present, people in the Arab region are more prone to symptoms..."


    Hal paused for two seconds, but these two seconds may be the result of hundreds of billions of calculations for artificial intelligence.


    Finally, it said: "People who drink bio-drinks have stronger resistance, a longer incubation period of the virus, and even the probability of automatically producing antibodies in the body. However, the economy in the Arab region is not developed enough, and bio-drinks cannot be popularized. Compared with Europeans, their physical fitness is relatively low." It''s a bit off."


    "How long will the Europeans be lurking?" An Feng asked.


    "Statistics have not yet been obtained, and it is expected to be around ten to twenty days." Hal said.


    "It''s unstoppable for such a long time." An Feng shook his head, so many days are enough for these tourists to run around, and the virus that Hal said is spread through saliva, blood and sexual behavior, if the distance is close, the air will also spread. Can become the medium of transmission, it is difficult to prevent.


    The next day, some patients died, and they were in batches. The dead were all Arabs, and they were all from the same group of smugglers. The time interval between the deaths was very close, and they all collapsed within one or two hours. Drugs or vaccines to effectively exterminate virus are not available.


    The World Health Organization has issued a notice to beware of atypical influenza viruses.


    An Feng has also taken precautions, telling his family members to go out carefully, and parents who are on vacation from China should not go back for the time being. The current customs inspection is very strict. At the same time, let the medical department step up research, Hal also joined as Mr. B, and An Feng also participated through holographic communication.


    The Elizabeth Medical Association held a press release at the end of August. Joanna��s spokesperson, Ms. Roberts, said that the Medical Association will assist in the investigation of influenza viruses in Europe and the development of vaccines. The Foundation will provide full financial support and hope that European countries can cooperate with the Medical Association expert group.


    Hal adjusted the probability to 80%, and it was about to become a red alert.

 Chapter 425： panic spread

    Chapter 425 Panic spread


    Regarding this incident, it can only be described as "suddenly". An Feng''s original good wish of enjoying peace of mind was shattered. He thought that the probability of doomsday would increase slowly, but during these ten days, it suddenly jumped from 10% to 85%, which was about to evolve into the most serious red alert.


    It''s hard to imagine that before that, they were enjoying the sunny and beach days in Europe, which were so leisurely and relaxed, but now they were suddenly shrouded in a haze of death, and his self-confidence was thwarted. It happened so suddenly that he almost There is no time to prepare.


    What is even more helpless is that human beings have not fully realized the seriousness of the matter. Although the World Health Organization has warned, it is listed as a common influenza, so that countries should pay attention to prevention, instead of the first-level alert that An Feng hopes, to block the infected people and use any preventive means.


    Hal said: "Before the probability reaches 95%, it does not have the conditions to become a human disaster."


    This was finally a consolation, but An Feng then became distressed: "The front is rising so fast, how can you make me feel relieved?"


    Hal showed no emotion: "Because of the inaccurate sampling of the data, the scope of the impact, etc., but now that we have come into contact with the virus sample, the probability accuracy is very high. The current probability indicates that it is only a serious infection and has not yet developed to be able to destroy the virus. human catastrophe."


    "You mean it''s not yet possible?" An Feng asked.


    Hal replied: "Based on the characteristics of the current virus, it does not have this ability, unless it is mutated."


    An Feng said: "That cannot be ignored."


    An Feng and Hal discussed that in addition to some countermeasures, the top priority is to stop its spread first. The way to stop the spread is naturally testing, but there is currently no quick way to test patients in the incubation period, and it is impossible for everyone to be tested when entering or leaving the country. A tube of blood was drawn.


    The second is to prevent mutual transmission. Before the vaccine is developed, it is necessary to prevent the transmission of the virus. Needless to say, saliva and blood sexual behaviors, and air transmission, wearing a mask is obviously a way. Hal designed a virus for the virus. A more effective special mask.


    On the testing equipment, Hal is working hard, and the problem of masks, An Feng arranges, he has two production plants of affiliated pharmaceutical companies, a large number of mechanical automation can make the output very high, from now on it has to be mass-produced, although People don''t pay attention.


    In addition, An Feng has the responsibility to remind his relatives and friends.


    He asked Alice to stay at home and not go to school for the time being, and the elementary school students had nothing to learn. At most, they asked their parents to teach them more, or asked Eve to teach her lessons. Other friends have also been reminded to minimize going out, avoid crowded areas, and use special masks.


    Joanna was puzzled: "Why do I feel that you treat this influenza as a doomsday virus?"


    An Feng didn''t mean the slightest joke: "We must be vigilant. This time things are far beyond our imagination, please believe me, I have been exposed to virus samples, I know its characteristics, its destructive power, if it happens If a mutation is expected... I can''t imagine it."


    Seeing that he was serious about what he said, and that An Feng was indeed highly talented in medicine, he was the one who took the lead in overcoming cancer, so she put away her joking mentality, and she said: "We need to inform more relatives and friends, let them Travel carefully and proceed with caution."


    "There is a better way." An Feng said.


    "any solution?"


    "You!" An Feng looked at her.


    "Me?" she asked.


    An Feng said: "You have a great reputation. The foundation has taken over the medical department of the research center. Many people will value your remarks."


    Joanna got it.


    She posted a post on the Internet that night, reminding people to pay attention to virus prevention and not to ignore the details.


    The next day, the Foundation and the Medical Association also made press statements, reporting on the progress of the development of the virus vaccine, and solemnly reminding people to reduce going out.


    When the virus has not yet broken out, saying such words has the meaning of fanning the flames. What ordinary people or institutions say may not be conveyed. However, well-known people and authoritative organizations have expressed their views. At last, the country and the government have paid attention to it and started to prevent the epidemic. cold.


    After someone paid attention to it, Joanna volunteered to publicize the details of the life that An Feng reminded. Soon, her tweets received a very high number of retweets, and followers did not ignore her reminders. After all, the strongest medical department on Earth has been acquired by her, and these reminders must have a reason.


    Joanna began channeling some of her fans.


    An Feng also specifically reminded friends flying all over the world to reduce going out.


    Matthew and Austin, who live nearby, received several large boxes of masks delivered by him personally. Matthew was surprised: "Is this going to be hoarded for the end of the world?"


    "Yes." An Feng answered simply.


    Matthew was stunned: "Are you serious?"


    "I don''t have time to joke. I have to talk to virus experts later." An Feng said, "You must use these masks when you go out. Although the masks are quite thick, they are an effective way to prevent viruses. If the situation cannot be controlled, I''ll take you to Texas."


    "What are you doing there?" Matthew asked.


    "I dug an underground nuclear bunker there, which can defend against any attack including nuclear bombs, including viruses, and there are enough materials stored in it for fifty years." An Feng said, picking up a booklet, "Pay attention to these contents, Remember it, digest it in your heart."


    "I''m starting to believe you mean it," Matthew said.


    "That''s good." An Feng went out, got in the car and left, heading to the next stop.


    ��


    September the world is in a rush of prevention.


    But things are still very bad. The infected French people died one after another on the fifteenth day after the onset of the disease. According to the records, they all drank bio-drinks, and their physiques were stronger than ordinary people. The Arabs were three to five Day incubation period, death within five days after onset.


    Drinking bio-drinks for a long time obviously lasted more than twice the time.


    This also caused Bida to be out of stock for a time. People rushed to buy all the drinks in the supermarket, and the rich also aimed at high-end stores to snap up luxury goods there... This scene was staged in Europe, Asia and America. The flu virus that continued to spread has already It made people panic.


    Among the third batch of reported deaths, some were the first to be infected, but survived for twenty-five days. The inspection found that these people were wealthy people who drank higher-end bio-drinks, and their physique was stronger...but the wealth No amount of them can stop the scythe of death.


    In late September, the World Health Organization issued another warning. At this time, the virus had spread to all parts of the world, and the number of reported cases exceeded 100,000. It took almost a month from the first dozen to the current 100,000, but the virus usually It exploded in geometric multiples, not counting the incubation period.


    At the same time, Anshi Industries has developed a scanner to detect viruses, and the Elizabeth Medical Association recommends it to other countries. Joanna also prepared a press statement to remind people again. With the experience of last time, more people believed in her and followed her reminders.


    Joanna continues to perform her duties as a charitable figure, alerting people.


    Special masks are out of stock. Anfeng does not set up any patents in this area, and provides technology for free use to the world. It has also developed into a bit like "SARS" in the past, disinfecting everywhere, wearing masks on the street, standing in the sun, watching The deserted street is a bit damp and frightening.


    An Feng and Hal participated in the research and development of the virus vaccine, and obtained antibodies. The researched vaccine successfully killed the virus, but it could not be completely extinct. Thankfully, the probability has remained at 85%, not catastrophic yet, and medicine will continue to dive into the fight against the virus.


    At the beginning of October, the US and French governments announced that they had developed a vaccine and are currently preparing for clinical trials.


    An Feng asked for a vaccine to be researched by professionals from the Medical Association, and Hal also started its quantum computer at full speed. The current computing power per second is the sum of the computers in the world. Overdraw yourself and scrap ahead of time.


    An Feng told Hal to hurry up, because he was not sure what the vaccines in the United States and France would do.


    They have also produced a vaccine. The antibody gradually killed the virus, but it rebounded in the end. This strange RNA virus is weird and changeable, and they can''t figure it out. When did the Americans and the French become so powerful? An Feng asked experts to remind the governments of the two countries to use vaccines with caution.


    But they are reference only.


    The virus clinical test in the United States and France took a week and achieved good results.


    At present, the number of confirmed infected people has expanded to 300,000, and the use of detectors has effectively prevented the spread, but it is still not enough, and the production capacity of Anshi Industrial is limited.


    At this time, the governments of the two countries announced that the vaccine had successfully produced antibodies clinically and would be used on infected persons.


    That night, Hal reported that the vaccine was strong...but it didn''t work.


    An Feng hurriedly asked the people from the medical department to communicate with the government, but they vetoed it again, thinking that the vaccine must be used early to prevent the current spreading trend and reduce public panic. The communication was ineffective, An Feng could only find another way, he asked Joanna to hold a press conference.


    This time through the holographic network, Joanna came forward in person.


    According to the prepared speech, she does not recommend that people use this batch of vaccines whose effects have not yet been determined.


    News speeches were disseminated through the Internet and TV stations, but they were quickly blocked, and they were reminded not to mislead the public. The British government also tactfully told Joanna that enough is enough, and if it continues, they will not be able to withstand the pressure from the outside world, and may take more progressive moves.


    But Joanna''s popularity is there, and the ban is not enough to stop the Internet army.


    She insisted that she was right to tell people not to use vaccines, which may have unpredictable consequences, and asked the government to disclose the details of all research and development.


    A portion of her admirers believed and rallied.


    Crowds marched in the streets to protest the self-assertion of France and the United States, but were then expelled by the police, greeted by smoke bombs, tear gas and Taser guns, and democratic riot batons were beaten on the people''s heads. There was chaos and the leader was taken into police custody.


    Then the government asked Joanna to clarify that her previous remarks were wrong.


    She insisted that she was right. She appealed a second time, and the next day London''s press officer, Donna Roberts, was invited to tea and could no longer speak for her. News also came from the United States, warning her, but the governor took it easy and did not allow the Federation to mess around on California land.


    Relevant rumors broke out on the Internet, and the public was divided into two factions. One faction firmly supported Joanna''s skepticism, because although the Medical Association was just established, its predecessor was a research center, and the original team had not yet determined its curative effect. And there are too few clinical trials of vaccines.


    The other faction is on the opposite side, condemning her as a non-professional, who dared to spread rumors and mislead the people, and then developed to the point of attacking her and doubting the medical society... People who are staying at home due to influenza, The Internet has become a catharsis.


    The medical association officially issued an official statement that was uncertain about the efficacy of the vaccine.


    However, the governments of the two countries, which insist on eradicating the virus and preventing the spread of panic, did not adopt it.


    The reason is that the number of infections is several times higher than expected, because it is difficult to count the population during the incubation period, and the government cannot allow this panic to continue to spread.


    Joanna sat down and sighed: "I failed."


    An Feng comforted: "You have tried your best, it doesn''t matter... Maybe it really works."


    On the third day after the vaccine was used, the clinical effect was not brought, but two patients died strangely. On the fourth day, more patients developed severe fever and vomiting. On the fifth day, the infection was amplified again, and a large number of infected people deaths, and more people are at risk.


    Elizabeth Medical Society issued an authoritative report: Influenza virus has undergone RNA mutation.


    The Medical Association also condemned the concealment of the two governments. The power of SFV (the new name for the mutated virus) has been strengthened by the use of their vaccines. The antibody failed to eliminate the virus, but made the virus self-improving and stronger. The consequences will be disastrous .


    In order to further shock people, Hal no longer needs equations to calculate probabilities.


    Because it has come!


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 426： lead by example

    Chapter 426 Take the lead


    An Feng was mentally prepared many years ago, but now he still feels defeated.


    As if a sentence, Hal''s cold voice informed him: the human age is over. Perhaps the outside world still cannot understand how serious this disease is, because the number of infected people is very small, but one million, compared to seven billion people, is too small, and the possibility of it being the turn of the head is extremely low.


    Only An Feng, who can predict the facts, knows that every moment from now on may be the last day. The machine army he prepared, the global defense strategy he promoted, the reform of the world''s environment and medicine...but it didn''t play the slightest role in the face of the mutated virus.


    Joanna saw him sitting in a daze, as if he had lost his fighting spirit, and couldn''t help worrying about him. Although she didn''t know the consequences of the matter, she also guessed the seriousness of the situation from the efforts he had made these days. Now he seems to have Accept the ending and can no longer resist.


    She sat beside him and held his hand: "Are you okay?"


    "It''s okay." An Feng nodded, his heart was in a mess, he couldn''t think of any effective solution.


    They tried everything, but nothing worked.


    "We still have a chance, don''t we?" Joanna comforted him, "Now that the whole world has attached great importance to it, there will be hope."


    "I can''t get any useful hints." An Feng pointed to his head, "We, including everyone around us, are probably doomed."


    "Why?" Joanna worried.


    "We are all going to die." An Feng scratched his head in distress, "We are finished."


    "No, we won''t!" Joanna said.


    An Feng shook his head, he would rather not know the ending and live without burden, but is it possible?


    Joanna''s eyes looked at him: "No matter what happens, we will be together, even death can''t change it! But isn''t there still a chance? Although I don''t know the reason, you have taken precautions! In Texas We made fun of you as a doomsday survivalist, and now you''re right, you''ve succeeded��at least you can save your own family! Come on!"


    "And... there are other things, you always do things in secret. Although I didn''t ask, I know that you also develop robots in other places. That artificial intelligence Hal, aren''t these just your prevention? Things It��s just the beginning, I hope you can regain your confidence and don��t be so depressed again! I believe in you, and the children also believe in Dad, there is nothing you can��t do, and it��s the same this time!��


    Joanna couldn''t bear to see him like this, so she told all the secrets in her heart.


    "Maybe." An Feng looked at her, "As you said, I can at least save my family."


    "You can definitely." She said firmly.


    "Yes!" An Feng nodded.


    ��


    Time cannot allow him to be depressed. After Hal issued a red alert, it means that things have entered a very serious situation. According to Hal��s prediction, human beings cannot last for two years��this is still in the current state of the virus. If it mutates or strengthens again, I��m afraid Not for a year.


    There is no way at present, but he has cracked the encyclopedia in his head.


    He and Hal need to try a little bit, but it''s not clear whether humans can wait that long. The most notable feature of viruses is that they are inexhaustible and can mutate. Coupled with its wide transmission route and 100% mortality rate, it is definitely the most powerful and cunning opponent An Feng has encountered so far.


    Joanna continues to play her role as she and her husband deal with difficult times together.


    She has to shoulder her own responsibilities��as a well-known figure in the world, especially in this vaccine warning, her inference was verified by **** facts, which made her popularity rise again, and the government lifted her speech ban, female spokesperson Donna Roberts was acquitted. The number of people who follow her real-name Twitter has exceeded 30 million, and they are always paying attention to any remarks she sends, and the outside news media are also eager to visit.


    It is outside the gate of the current manor, and there are reporters waiting.


    Joanna held an online press conference through holographic projection. This time, she personally explained the facts and precautions, and told the public. She promised that the foundation and the medical association would go all out and spend money to convene the world''s top medical and virus experts to go to London to discuss major issues.


    Among them is the team of Nobel Prize winners, the expert group headed by Dr. Mike Keith, who once conquered cancer and won unprecedented praise; there is also a team that also went out of the research center, won the Nobel Prize, and conquered AIDS... They will come out again.


    Joanna''s heavy news undoubtedly calmed the emotions of the masses.


    In their eyes, the gathering of so many world-class experts in London will definitely play an important role. In contrast, the research organization capabilities of various countries are limited, especially France and the United States, which have caused such a big disaster and are about to be sprayed to death by all walks of life. The only one can only support it.


    The United States directly opens a VIP channel for local experts who go to the UK.


    Even the experts set off on military planes. Around the research center, there are also policemen with live ammunition to protect them. The surroundings are kept quiet and no strangers are allowed to approach. The current spreading SFV virus has completely made medical experts experience what it means to be helpless. despair.


    Joanna, who can influence the public with every word and deed, fulfills her duty of "spiritual leadership". She listens to the report of the Medical Association and An Feng''s statement, and informs the public of bad news in a relaxed manner. Eliminate their tension as much as possible and guide public opinion.


    People believe her and appreciate her kind reminder.


    She does have leadership ability. After December, her words will be more effective than the President of the United States.


    In November, the epidemic situation around the world has developed into an uncontrollable state. SFV is extremely contagious. After the incubation period ends, ordinary patients will show symptoms and die within a day. Some patients who drink bio-drinks for a long time can last more than ten days, while others can last for a shorter period of time.


    Currently, the number of infected people worldwide has exceeded one million.


    However, Hal''s probability algorithm shows that 5 million people have become infected, and the government can hardly hide it.


    During this period, the treatment methods and virus vaccines produced by any medical institution are all useless. They can kill the virus, but they cannot be extinct. The body was then strictly cremated.


    Most schools in the world have been closed, and there are almost no people in public places, and some passers-by are wearing masks and walking in a hurry. The stock markets of various countries have been affected, and there are already plans to close the market. The stock prices of companies either fall or remain unchanged, except for pharmaceutical companies that are skyrocketing.


    The current death toll has reached 300,000, which is no less than a war. The virus has claimed so many lives silently and caused panic in the society. Some patients in the incubation period who were detected to have the disease, faced with absolute mortality, went crazy before they lost their strength.


    Although there have been smashing incidents, the order is still controlled by humans, but the number of policemen on the street has increased significantly, and the equipment has become more complicated. They are equipped with gas masks, which can filter viruses in the air. The detectors of Anshi Industries, one by one Investigate suspicious persons, and people are often controlled.


    Social order is already under high-pressure management.


    Many people can''t sit still, and the global economy has fallen sharply, because the number of people going to work and working is decreasing, and people stay at home and live cautiously. The number of people infected with the virus in the news has exceeded 5 million, the hospitals are full, and any optimistic comments from the government cannot dispel the panic.


    ��


    An Feng made an important decision: he wants to go to England in person to meet the virus for a while.


    Only in his head, there is a related anti-virus encyclopedia. It is difficult to obtain accurate data when operating from such a distance. There is not much time, and a minute and a second cannot be wasted. A waste of a day may be hundreds of thousands of people If the death continues, society will collapse sooner or later.


    When Joanna learned of the decision, she objected: "Why do you have to go in person? Isn''t it okay to have a conversation like this now? Anyway, it''s the same as reality."


    "There are many things that need to be contacted in person to form a specific judgment." An Feng said, "Sometimes, the sixth sense will play a role."


    "Flights around the world are now strictly monitored, and entry and exit will be checked more than a dozen times." Joanna said, "We don''t want you to take risks."


    The two children also heard the adult''s conversation, and Alice ran over: "Dad, don''t you go? I want you to accompany me to ride a pony."


    "Dad, don''t go." Fred also pulled him.


    An Feng squatted down, touched their heads, and said patiently: "Dad is only leaving temporarily, and he will come back. He will still play with you in the future, watching Alice ride a pony, and playing guessing games with Fred. If Dad If you don��t go, you may not have the chance to play in the future.��


    After all, she is a child. After hearing this, I still think it is more appropriate to let Dad go. Alice nodded: "Then let''s pull the hook, Dad must come back."


    "Pull the hook." An Feng pulled the hook with her, which was taught by him.


    Joanna said again: "Are you really going there? That''s an area with a high incidence of the virus."


    An Feng explained: "There are Case and a group of experts in the field. They are all excellent helpers. The medical association is also there. Both the conditions and experience are better than here in the United States. If I choose there, the work efficiency will be better than in the United States. Much higher and can be done faster."


    Joanna is very willful this time: "But I can''t bear you, I don''t want to lose you!"


    "No, I promise you to come back intact." An Feng touched her face, "Remember what I said, if something bad happens, let these robots be responsible for your safety, all the way to the base in Texas , then enable Eve''s permissions and it will take care of everything."


    An Feng��s family already has 20 more robots covered with bionic skin. They are all the most outstanding humanoid fighting machines with superb protection capabilities. Can effectively protect VIP.


    "I know how to use it," Joanna said.


    "There is also the use of electromagnetic guns. You should still carry a pistol when necessary." An Feng continued to instruct.


    "How did the parents explain it?" Joanna asked.


    "I''ll explain it clearly. If, I mean, in case something happens to me, please take care of them for me." An Feng said.


    "No." She came to save An Feng, "Promise me that you will come back!"


    "I promise you!" An Feng nodded.


    Joanna put her arms around his neck, tiptoed and kissed him. She hugged her tightly and didn''t want to let go.


    ��


    After explaining to his family, although he was dissuaded a lot, time must not be delayed. Since he knows the facts, he has the responsibility to play his part until the situation is out of control��he is not a national hero, and if he cannot control it, he will give priority to keeping it own life.


    So he brought robot bodyguards.


    The robot base in Algeria is open at any time, the transport aircraft has been assembled, and the robot legions around the world have also begun to be activated. Eve is the second commander. In case of chaos, the robot will provide him with the most comprehensive help .


    Bringing a robot on the plane will be checked out, but this time it is a special flight, chartered by the foreign ministries of the two countries. An Feng can bring many special tools that do not need to be checked. This Boeing 747 airliner took off from Los Angeles and was destined for the United Kingdom. London, carrying the hope of mankind.


    At home in Santa Barbara, Alice came over and asked her mother who was staring at the sky in a daze: "Mom, Dad will be back soon, isn''t he?"


    "Yes, Dad will be back soon." Joanna nodded affirmatively.


    There is no time left for her to worry and wipe tears. Her family members are watching her, and unknown people all over the world are also waiting for her news. She must always be strong and show the most determined and optimistic attitude. She is going to lead More people who are willing to believe in her will actively face the disaster.


    She can''t save everyone, but she can make them less afraid��at least for a moment.


    After An Feng set off, she edited a sentence that didn''t refer to, but felt sad in her words: We all believe that you can succeed, and I will always wait for you.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 427： Bad news again and again [Third watch]

    Chapter 427 Bad news keeps coming ��Third watch��


    After Joanna''s post was released, it attracted attention, and people couldn''t help asking what happened to her?


    In the past, every comment she made to the public was positive and sunny. Of course, she was suspected of being written in advance, but after all, she had clear instructions and played a leading role with confidence, but now she has some parting sentences. Under what circumstances did it happen?


    The crowd was discussing a lot, and Joanna, as the "Whistleblower God", has attracted much attention for her words and deeds.


    Being the focus of attention, Joanna only had a moment to grieve, because An Feng gave her a very important task. When he was not in the United States, she had to shoulder the responsibility of his wife. If necessary, relatives and friends around will also be protected and moved to a safer place.


    Currently, she has bodyguards and 20 robots with bionic skin. She doesn''t know much about how strong the robots are, but An Feng guarantees that as long as they don''t completely destroy them, orders will be carried out to the end, which is ten times more reliable than humans. So she and Eve had a little talk about it.


    Eve has been allowed by An Feng to access Hal''s database, and within a few seconds, she understood the whole process from ten years ago to the present, including the doomsday prophecy. When Joanna asked, she told her selectively, mainly because of the hazards of the virus, robot bases around the world, etc.


    It took Joanna a while to digest the contents.


    She doesn''t have time to ask why now��although she is full of doubts and countless whys, what she can do now is to gather family and friends, inform them to prepare for a trip in the near future, and continue to bring optimism to her. give them.


    My friends are relatively calm about this matter, because Anfeng��s notification is timely, they are always paying attention, and they have taken precautions. Those who have enough food at home for more than a year, almost never go out...Although the government has repeatedly stated that social order It''s still calm, but there''s no guarantee it''ll get worse.


    This time Joanna informed them to prepare, and they cooperated very well.


    Only Matthew, who knew some facts, asked, "Is the situation out of control?"


    Joanna did not hide: "We are working hard now, but we have to prepare for the worst. In case of deterioration, protecting the future is the most important thing."


    Matthew said: "If there is a place that can help, I am willing to do my part."


    "I will." Joanna nodded.


    ��


    Joanna continues to guide the public to understand the virus, learn about the progress of the work from the Medical Association, and let the spokesperson do the work of official reports. This job seems simple, but it has a soothing effect on the nervousness of countless people, because the number of people who may be infected has reached 30 million.


    Anfeng''s Boeing plane successfully landed in London.


    London has sent police and convoy escorts. The US government has notified that top experts in the medical field will arrive one after another in the near future. Except for checking whether they are carrying SFV virus, everything else will be released unconditionally, so their entry very simple.


    After scanning correctly with the detection instrument, get in the car, the police car clears the way, and leave the airport through the inspection-free passage.


    The bustling streets of London on weekdays, the bustling tourists have disappeared, and there are only a few cars passing by on the road. This winter is particularly bleak, and a large number of shops on the street are closed. Christmas is approaching, but there is no joy of the festival. Passers-by stopped as the convoy passed by.


    Finally, the convoy stopped at the main entrance of Elizabeth Medical College.


    Surrounded by police officers with live ammunition and wearing gas masks patrolling the surrounding area, An Feng does not recommend this approach, as it will make the public even more nervous. But he didn''t come for this matter. The people who got off the car and came to greet him walked into the building, and the reporter in the lobby on the first floor held up the microphone and camera.


    The mouth is full of the latest research results on virus vaccines. After all, the world''s top experts have gathered here. Like An Feng, who was escorted in this time, he is undoubtedly a professional. They want to get more specific information. Or shoot some news footage.


    An Feng''s assistant kept the reporter out, and he quickly walked into the elevator.


    The relevant person in charge blocked the elevator door and told the public media: "We will inform you of the relevant progress in the form of a press conference. Please wait patiently."


    Upstairs, the elevator doors open, and they do another check.


    The experts who heard the news came to greet them. Mike Case walked in front and shook hands with An Feng with joy on his face: "You are very welcome, Mr. An!"


    There were official reporters around to film this scene.


    In the subsequent official release, this short video was sent out, plus questions from reporters were answered. The most curious thing among them was who is this yellow man? Was he the husband of Baroness Joanna? These two questions are the most frequent. Although An Feng is not high-profile, everyone knows him.


    Ms. Roberts, the press officer, gave an affirmative answer: "Mr. Bruce Ann is our specially invited expert. Husband of Baroness Anna."


    The reporters were boiling, and almost none of them knew that An Feng still had the status of a "medical expert".


    The official answer is very simple, without much to say. Afterwards, in the news all over the world, there was a big news about the medical association joining professionals again and being the husband of the Baroness. In the video, a group of old men who won the Nobel Prize excitedly shook hands with An Feng, as if they had seen hope.


    After thinking about it, people suddenly understood the sad news from the Baroness.


    Suddenly, they were in awe!


    Because contact with SFV is not absolutely safe, due to operational negligence and underestimation of the power of the virus, many medical personnel in other countries have been recruited, and they can only face the coming of death obediently. The risk factor of this job is very high, and those who have the courage to participate will be heroes.


    There is no doubt that both Joanna and her husband are.


    ��


    An Feng didn''t care how the outside world would expose him, and he didn''t rest after he arrived. The robot assistant beside him, that is, the materialized Hal, was his assistant, and these experts were also his assistants. An Feng took the time to hold a meeting to discuss the epidemic. The progress and difficulties encountered in the development of vaccines.


    He took over R&D and started assigning tasks.


    Everyone obeys him unconditionally. The outside world may not understand, but the inside only admires him.


    After their discussion, they put on heavy protective clothing, contacted the virus and patients, and continuously took samples for testing. The day was divided into three sections, eight hours of rest, and the other two sections were used for work. This group of people is rotated to ensure that there are people working 24 hours a day.


    Time passed day by day, and society became more restless.


    The number of infected people reported by the World Health Organization exceeded 20 million, and Hal predicted that the number of infected people would reach 100 million.


    According to the new trend, human beings can survive until next autumn.


    After An Feng obtained the data of the virus''s imperfect antibody, he began to ask Hal to use a quantum computer to analyze. According to the simplest and only foolish method at present-use the constructed combination equation to calculate various possible probabilities. The equation is very complicated and written on A4 paper There are at least a dozen pages.


    But for a quantum computer running at full speed, it is only a matter of a second.


    Hal calculated items one by one, selected those that met, and excluded those that did not meet... Finally, he got a result that took thirty years to test item by item.


    An Feng shook his head: "We don''t have 30 years. Eliminate secondary conditions and re-screen inside."


    Hal continued to investigate and finally got ten years of data.


    Still not good, human beings are only optimistic for one year.


    "Find a way to compress it to two years." An Feng said that in this regard, the number of people who can be tested can be increased. One hundred people will take two years, and two hundred people may be enough for one year.


    But things often don��t work out that way, because it takes top-notch brains �� almost all of which are here at the moment.


    Hal finally tried his best to compress it, and it would take three years at the fastest.


    The method won��t work, although he knows that the result is likely to be inside... An Feng then adopted a random method and asked the expert group to start hands-on testing.


    This can only look forward to the blessing of the **** of luck.


    After 12 hours of work, An Feng returned to the room on the upper floor to rest, lay on the bed and had a video chat with his family for a while, talking about the work here. An Feng showed the most optimistic attitude and told them the progress of the matter All the best, the virus vaccine will be available soon.


    After the chat, I was very thirsty. There was only food in the refrigerator, which was dry, and I drank all the mineral water. I was too lazy to bother others at night, so I took a cup to the water purifier to collect water. The specially filtered and disinfected water tastes weird. Although the SFV virus cannot be transmitted through the water source, it must be prevented.


    After drinking, he lay down in bed and rested overnight.


    The next day he woke up a little later than usual. He was very accurate in controlling the time, but he was late today.


    Rubbing his temples, maybe he is too tired from frequent work recently. He went to wash up, and after a simple breakfast, he went downstairs to the protected virus research office, walked out of the elevator, passed the virus detector, and the "Dididi" alarm sounded, and An Feng and the surrounding staff all I was taken aback.


    The response of the staff is: "The machine is broken?"


    "No!" An Feng had a horrifying thought, "Leave! Stay away from me!"


    They also reacted instantly, stepped back immediately, put on gas masks, and reported the situation here at the same time.


    An Feng took a few steps back and stared at the detection machine in disbelief.


    Case and other experts came, but they were also stunned. An Feng leaned against the wall and thought in distress, then suddenly raised his head: "Let people stop drinking tap water immediately!"


    Case nodded, and told the assistant beside him: "The tap water has been infected, please stop using it immediately!"


    An Feng was taken to a special ward surrounded by experts in protective clothing. He sat on the edge of the bed and thought: "SFV cannot be transmitted through water sources."


    Hal said: "It should be a secondary mutation."


    "It can only be like this." An Feng nodded, and the nurse beside him took some of his blood and sent it for examination.


    One hour later, the result is confirmed: secondary variation.


    Case brought the report: "Viruses are beginning to infect water resources, but the good news is that they cannot exist in water temperatures higher than 70 degrees Celsius."


    An Feng looked up at Hal: "Inform them, don''t drink any tap water, even disinfected ones, use the backup water source at home!"


    Hal nodded, and the information was transmitted to California at the same time.


    An Feng continued: "Re-examine the people in the entire building to find out all infected people."


    The work was done immediately, and 22 infected people were finally detected, four of whom were professionals in the medical field, including An Feng, who was five.


    Case asked: "Do you want to notify the government?"


    An Feng did not hesitate: "Hurry up! Even if it causes panic, this transmission route must be blocked, otherwise all human beings will be doomed!"


    Case immediately ordered someone to do it.


    In the end, everyone sat around An Feng, looking weird, somewhat desperate, the strongest experts were infected, who can save them?


    An Feng sighed, and said solemnly: "From now on, as the subject of human experimentation, I will dictate all the symptoms of the virus. You are responsible for recording, and Hal, you are responsible for extracting possible antibodies in my body. I will try my best to get more for you. Time, I hope you will succeed!"

    PS: I just want to say that the author does not write tragedies, so wait for the follow-up.

 Chapter 428： life hanging by a thread

    Chapter 428 Life hangs by a thread


    An Feng never thought that he would be included in it.


    Both he and Hal underestimated the ability of the virus to mutate. It was impossible to spread through water sources, and the tap water was still filtered and disinfected... But to be honest, there is currently no way to eliminate the virus. I am afraid that those disinfection methods are just self comfort.


    He fell into the abyss of complete despair... but only for an hour. Time is not allowed for him to waste, every minute and every second from now on is extremely precious, maybe he can succeed, even if he can''t, he still wants to buy time for future generations, for his family and children.


    Now he doesn''t even have time to be afraid, and he is focused on fighting the virus.


    The experts did not hesitate, and actively cooperated with An Feng''s every arrangement. He was transferred to the most special ward, surrounded by professionals who were protected from head to toe. An Feng and Hal were exchanging information about the incubation period of the virus. Features, Hal suddenly paused, and stopped speaking.


    "What''s wrong?" An Feng asked.


    "You don''t have an incubation period!" Hal reported even worse news, "The test results just now show that the virus has spread in your body!"


    A blow to the head! An Feng optimistically believes that he has a strong physique, and the incubation period is at least ten days. In addition to the highest record from seizure to death, he has at least one and a half months to live, but now the results directly show that he skipped the incubation period, and the virus has already raged in his body .


    No need to ask, Hal explained: "You have produced a special antibody in your body. When the virus invades, the antibody is already working."


    Experts around are overjoyed, natural antibodies!


    An Feng was not happy too early, things were not in line with the routine, and there must be many changes. He never dared to underestimate the virus this time. Water source infection is a **** example. Focusing on the antibodies in his body, the expert team continued to study. An Feng''s behavior was normal.


    Usually after the onset of the virus, the patient will experience dizziness, fever, and general weakness after drinking alcohol. The more advanced the disease, the less able to move until death. However, An Feng is full of energy and has no symptoms of attack at all. It''s a very exciting start for all of us.


    By the next day, An Feng felt a little weaker.


    Not obvious, but still a noticeable difference for his bull-like physique. After the routine test the next day, Hal reported the results: "The second mutated virus in the body has disappeared in large numbers, and the antibodies have eliminated them. However, the third mutated virus appeared again."


    "Sure enough." An Feng understood. This is the horror of the virus. The US and French governments will never succeed. Vaccines can indeed kill the virus, but they can''t kill it all��the consequence is mutation. Antibodies in his body wiped out most of the virus, but the rest began to evolve.


    The originally optimistic situation suddenly added a touch of heaviness.


    Two days later, the fourth mutation, An Feng''s weakness has been shown, the virus gradually gained the upper hand, the advantage of antibodies began to be reversed, the original large-scale attack turned to defense, and the situation took a turn for the worse. The experts are battered, but they can never keep up with the speed of the virus.


    When resting at night, An Feng couldn''t sleep.


    He leans back on the bed, distraught... He calls Hal to order something.


    "I need you to record some video. If I go down and I''m confirmed dead after twenty-four hours without resuscitation, please send the information to my wife. She will act as my replacement commander with supreme authority and transfer command Go to the underground base and protect the survivors as much as possible."


    Hal''s tone remained emotionless: "Understood."


    An Feng leaned on the bed, and Hal''s eyes were in charge of filming. He thought for a while, then squeezed out a smile... and began to explain the funeral.


    ��


    Black December is spent in dead silence, the world has been put on high alert, like a stretched balloon, a slight bump will cause an explosion. TV stations all over the world are scrolling about things about the virus, all entertainment activities have been cancelled, and people are staying at home in panic.


    According to the data provided by the World Health Organization, the number of infected people has reached 30 million.


    Actually, this is already the result of discussions among leaders of many countries. The actual number of infected people has reached 120 million, as Hal predicted. More than half of the human race was infected in June, and after October, the human race will be wiped out, and a small number of survivors may be able to survive for a hundred years before eventually becoming extinct.


    Senior leaders of various countries have activated asylum measures and will use them at any time.


    The rich are also looking for a safe place to live everywhere. Most of the relatives and friends gathered in An Feng''s house, and the surrounding robots are armed with live ammunition and ready to fight. Another fleet of robots is ready to take over Santa Barbara''s airport, and a private airport in Texas is ready.


    Although it is not yet time for panic to break out, the powerful and rich are already taking precautions.


    In mid-January, An Feng had just detected the eighth mutation of the virus. He was unable to get out of bed, and just lying on the hospital bed and talking to his family, but the surrounding environment was disguised very cleverly, as if he had just woken up, and he couldn''t feel it. Nothing unusual, just a little tired eyes.


    After comforting the good family, the new day of fighting against the virus continues.


    He looked at the scenery outside the window, there were no crowds on the street, the sun above his head was covered by clouds and mist, gloomy, spring came, but there was no life.


    In the afternoon of that day, the mutated virus in the body eliminated the newly produced antibodies again.


    An Feng showed severe dizziness and fever, his head was dizzy, and he said in his mouth: "I seem to smell the smell of death."


    "You''ll make it," Case told him.


    "Thank you for your trust all the time." An Feng''s voice was very soft.


    "Thank you, too, Bruce," they said.


    An Feng''s eyelids moved, and his consciousness was a little fuzzy: "I heard...their calls in my ears...I don''t have the strength to resist anymore..."


    "Hold on! You can do it!" Case said.


    Hal came over at this time, and the assistant beside him brought two syringes to inject An Feng. They are all experimental medicines, their effects are unclear, but they can relieve pain. The mutated virus this time is extremely terrifying. Even boiling water can''t kill it. It can only increase the pressure and raise the water temperature to more than 300 degrees.


    An Feng was sleepy and took a nap.


    After a routine checkup in the morning, An Feng''s face recovered a bit, and he began to give instructions: "After my death, the body should be preserved for forty-eight hours, and then cremated. The mutated virus must not be allowed to spread. Then...then you all go away, go back Find your own family and cherish the last time."


    The ward was full of sadness, An Feng''s condition would not survive tonight.


    At eleven o''clock in the morning, the ward began to get busy. An Feng''s heart rate weakened, and his consciousness became blurred again. After some hard work...calm is restored.


    Only one voice was reporting: "The patient stopped breathing and heartbeat, confirmed dead! The time of death was 11:22 on January 16, 2028. The cause of death: virus infection..."


    Case slumped on the chair, desperately squeezed out of his mouth: "We failed."


    ��


    Twenty-four hours later, Joanna, who was insomnia, was awakened by Eve.


    Eve turned on the holographic projection screen, played the video in a flat projection, and said, "Mr. An specially left this for you to watch."


    Joanna felt an ominous omen in her heart, and An Feng''s smiling face appeared on the screen.


    "Hi, Joanna! Please sit down before I get down to business."


    Joanna sat down and stared at the image.


    "When you see this video, I''m sorry, it''s been 24 hours since I left. Relax, I''m watching you, calm down, take a deep breath, you must be strong! Actually, it''s no big deal, everyone will die , it''s just that my time is a little bit ahead of time..."


    Joanna covered her mouth and burst into tears.


    "It''s a pity that I can''t fulfill my promise. For the first time in my life, I let you down. Forgive me for not being able to accompany you and the children at the last moment. I love you and wish I could be with you every moment. The children are also I will never give up. . . . I wish I hadn''t encountered such a bad thing . . . "


    An Feng talked a lot, half of which was to comfort her, trying to make the topic of death seem easy... But Joanna couldn''t hear what he said, only knowing a desperate word repeated in her mind, death, death, death... She is oblivious to time.


    It wasn''t until the door was knocked a few times and Alice pushed the door open that she came back to her senses.


    The video has been hidden by Eve. Alice walked over with a teddy bear in her arms: "Mom, I can''t sleep. I want Dad to tell me stories."


    "Mom, what''s wrong with you?" Alice found Joanna wiping tears.


    "I''m fine," Joanna said.


    "Mother, you are crying." Alice said, "Mother, why are you crying?"


    "Mom didn''t cry, I just have bad eyes." Joanna stretched out her hand, "Alice, let mom tell you stories in the future."


    "Okay." Alice stepped forward, and Joanna hugged her, wanting to say something, but couldn''t help it anymore, and burst into tears, making Alice, who didn''t know the truth, cry too, and she wiped her mother''s tears while crying , said in his mouth: "Mom don''t cry, I promise not to make you angry again."


    The crying attracted the maid Manda next to her. It was the first time she saw the madam lose her composure, so she hurried forward: "Madam, what''s wrong with you?"


    Joanna paused, wiped her tears, raised her head, her eyes were red, and tried to restore her normal expression: "I''m fine, you can take the child to sleep."


    "Madam needs me��"


    "Do as I say!" Joanna said in a commanding tone.


    "Okay, ma''am." Manda picked up Alice, "Alice, ma''am needs to rest, I''ll take you back to sleep, okay?"


    "Mom." Alice''s small eyes were red.


    "Go back, mom will be fine tomorrow, I promise you." Joanna squeezed out a smile.


    She has no energy to think about other things now, her heart is empty, and her thoughts are always intermittent, as if she has lost what supports her life... But the two children have already lost their father, and they are still so young, they cannot lose their mother again... She thought repeatedly Then, to expel the idea of ??committing suicide.


    Finally, she held on firmly, and the morning sun climbed up outside the window the next day. She regained her composure and talked to Eve: "I want to see him."


    Eve nodded and connected with Hal. The picture of the hospital bed was displayed. An Feng was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.


    Joanna was heartbroken, she bit her lip and didn''t want to cry out, Eve comforted her emotionally: "He hopes you can live happily, the current state is what worries him the most, and he has thought of many ways , and still smiled at the worst of his illness."


    "Stop talking." Joanna shook her head, "What should I do next?"


    "According to Mr. An''s instructions, you will serve as the supreme commander of the robot army, and at the same time shoulder the protection work of the surviving human beings in the doomsday. From now on, you will immediately transfer to the underground base in Texas, and at the same time consider opening other bases to rescue the surviving human beings." By."


    "I mean him." Joanna looked at An Feng in the video.


    Eve said: "According to the management regulations, the body will be cremated in forty-eight hours, and there are still 20 hours left."


    "No, you can''t do that!" Joanna shook her head.


    Eve said: "We must deal with this corpse. He carries the most powerful virus on him, and there is almost no means to defend against it."


    "I said no!" Joanna was a little hysterical, "He''s still alive! I believe it! I believe he''s still alive!"


    Eve changed her words: "Okay, follow your command. But madam, after twenty hours, there will be specialized personnel to dispose of the corpse."


    "I said he is not a corpse!" Joanna shouted, "I can feel that his face is still so normal, just like back then, impossible!"


    Eve said: "Option 1, the robots of the Medical Association will protect Mr. An, leave London, and look for a place to hide, but the risk factor is high and easy to be discovered; Option 2, activate the robot army, airborne in London within 15 hours, directly through the Send Mr. An away by air."


    "The second item." Joanna said without hesitation.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 429： Survival

    Chapter 429 Survival from Desperation


    Before breakfast, Joanna announced important matters to relatives and friends.


    "From now on, we will sort out the important items within three hours, and gather at the gate of the manor in three hours. We will fly to Texas."


    Everyone''s minds were full of questions, but Joanna didn''t give time to ask questions. She continued: "I will explain the reason clearly on the plane. There is not much time. Please cooperate, otherwise I will take more radical measures. I Apologize for possible conflicts in the future!"


    Matthew looked at everyone: "Don''t hesitate! Do as Joanna said, and prepare quickly!"


    Breakfast was spent in tension, no one talked much, even the children were quiet, they knew that mom was busy now, and not being naughty. After breakfast, everyone gathered on the lawn in front of the door, including An Feng''s parents, relatives and friends, Joanna''s parents and friends, and so on.


    Then they drove to the airport.


    This time it was a Boeing 787 airliner, which was booked by An Feng around the clock before departure and could be used at any time. Dozens of them brought their luggage and pets and entered the airport through the inspection-free passage. Everyone wore masks and gloves, and they were careful not to touch strangers.


    Joanna served as the leader, and she was in charge of organizing everyone, with Matthew and Austin assisting. Everyone got on the plane, the robot was also carrying the luggage, and the pets followed suit... The boarding was over soon. The plane got in touch with the control tower and took off ten minutes later.


    After the flight stabilized, Joanna walked in front of everyone with a normal face, and explained to everyone who was full of doubts: "According to Bruce''s arrangement, the virus is already out of control. It has infected more than 200 million people, and more than half of them will be infected in June." Humans are infected."


    The voice fell, and there was an uproar. I didn''t expect the matter to be so serious.


    Seeing the doubts written on everyone''s faces, Joanna continued: "As a precaution, we need to move to an underground base in Texas, where there are enough supplies for our 50-year life, and we will always Survive until the virus is gone and the crisis is over."


    Joanna paused, asking herself, is it possible for the virus to disappear? She wasn''t sure, but she had to give them hope! She said in an orderly manner: "Now we can use the communication on the plane as soon as possible to make some private arrangements, and it will be difficult for us to use the Internet in the future."


    Before the network is paralyzed, everyone hurry up. Not all relatives and friends here, Matthew''s brother and mother are still in the UK, and Roger''s relatives are still in New York, but in this case, there is only so much they can do, save their own lives first, and the rest will be done later. Again.


    The private airport of the hunting ground will also be open for a period of time, allowing other friends to come.


    ��


    Meanwhile, the Medical Society in London was divided.


    What disagreed was the experts led by Case and the management of the Medical Association. Case had to respect the wishes of the deceased and preserve the body for 48 hours before disposing of it. However, the management did not know where to get the news that the deceased was carrying the most terrifying virus. There must be no mistake and demanded immediate treatment.


    Case said to the management: "You can''t do this. We have a safe enough environment to prevent the virus from leaking out! Please respect the dead!"


    Carter, the management representative of the Medical Association, said: "This is an extremely dangerous virus carrier. We cannot tolerate any mistakes, just like the previous water source infection incident! Now the world''s epidemic is serious enough, and no one wants to see it worse. s consequence!"


    "Sorry, I won''t allow you to do this!" Case said firmly, as did the group of experts beside him. How many times have I spent with An Feng, now I will do one last thing for him, and then everyone will follow what he said and disperse, this world is hopeless.


    "Then I can only apologize, Dr. Keith!" Carter said, turning to leave.


    Case chased after him, but Carter was young and strong and walked very fast, and the security guards wouldn''t let them, the old men, get close.


    Pushing and shoving all the way to the floor.


    Case pointed at Carter and shouted to several security personnel: "Stop them!"


    The security personnel of the Medical Association stepped forward, and Carter stood up: "Don''t ever think about it! On behalf of the management of the Medical Association, I ask you to control this group of people!"


    "You are breaking the rules!" Case said angrily, but was blocked by security personnel when he took a few steps forward.


    "You can''t do this!"


    Case''s voice echoed in the corridor, and people from various offices came out to watch.


    Carter glanced at everyone''s faces: "This is done according to safety regulations, you don''t want to violate the regulations, do you?"


    Carter was followed by a dozen security guards in protective clothing, with batons in their hands.


    No one dared to stop him. Carter strode to the front of the ward, surrounded by several accompanying researchers standing at the door with expressionless faces. Just as Carter was about to speak, the first person stepped forward: "Mr. Mrs. Chang''an informed you that you have been dismissed!"


    It was Hal who spoke, and Joanna gave the order.


    Carter was stunned, but in the end he broke the jar: "Even the chairman can''t use his privileges to do things that endanger human safety!"


    "Sorry!" Hal stood in his way.


    "You can''t succeed!" Carter said threateningly.


    Carter''s performance is in line with the recent epidemic of mental illness, panic, panic, and constantly being attacked by terrifying viruses, doing such frightening things. He wanted to run down to inform the police, let them send riot squads to deal with the crisis, and let the damned virus go to hell!


    However, the thugs Carter imagined were different from the police who confronted, fought, and were eventually eliminated. He had just taken a few steps when his arms were grabbed immediately. Before he could react, his whole body was in severe pain. Just about to react, five guns were aimed at them.


    Hal is not human after all, he knows how to prevent crisis at the least cost.


    Case, who rushed over, was shocked: "Who are you?"


    Hal announced solemnly: "According to the chairman''s order, keep this place as it is, and no one is allowed to destroy it!"


    Another person came forward with a tablet and was communicating. In the video, Joanna''s face was serious: "Everyone follow the instructions and do not allow reckless behavior! Carter and the co-conspirators, I will use it as an excuse for obstructing major medical research and development , Sue the court! I hope you will be careful!"


    The crowd around didn''t have much friendship with Carter. When Joanna spoke in person, they immediately turned against each other.


    The robot controlled these guys and locked them in an office. A robot with an electromagnetic gun guarded them. They squatted in the corner one by one. The tough attitude just now disappeared under the gunpoint. Not daring to let it go, the robot told them with actions that Joanna was the boss.


    Then, Hal let Case take over the medical society and run the day-to-day work.


    ��


    Boeing 787 landed at Texas Hunting Ground. The super long runway made the landing process very smooth. After getting off the plane, several robots with completely bare metal bodies came by car. Everyone was surprised again. Joanna said to them: "Get in the car quickly, we need to transfer to the underground base."


    Anfeng''s underground base has two layers of composite explosion-proof doors with a thickness of half a meter. After two doors, the car drove directly to the elevator.


    It is not appropriate to say that it is an elevator. It should be a large lifting platform, enough to accommodate five trucks. Constructed with reinforced concrete, it is extremely strong.


    The cave is huge, and people walking in it seem to come to the house of giants. Not to mention humans, even the trucks are small. They are brought to a living area. There is a modeled circular central park, surrounded by residential areas, three The storey is high and can accommodate two hundred people.


    Indoor plants are planted in Central Park, which promotes metabolism through artificial light sources.


    After getting off the car, they looked up and looked around, what a huge project!


    Joanna ordered them to find their own rooms, and she came to a conference room and continued to communicate with Eve. The underground cannot receive electromagnetic wave signals, but there are cables connected to the surface, and the hidden signal receiver can receive satellite signals. GP The company''s quantum satellites can take into account Europe and the United States.


    Here is the only tool that can contact the outside world.


    Things outside are not good.


    The outside world is in chaos! The secret meeting documents of the leaders of many countries were actually stolen by hackers and published on the Internet! The truth of the related virus has been seen by everyone, which is completely different from the official number. The number of infected people has exceeded 200 million, and it is estimated that it will reach 3 billion in June.


    Humans can no longer control the virus.


    The virus has a strong ability to evolve. The incubation period after the third generation can fool the current machine. The symptoms of the incubation period are even more difficult to recognize. The virus cannot be eliminated even by boiling water, and it becomes stronger as it goes on. A series of facts are revealed, and the entire human society is on the brink of collapse and madness.


    Soldiers and police officers in many countries are already wearing armor on the streets, and armored vehicles are everywhere.


    There will be strict restrictions on going out, the concept of public places will no longer exist, curfews... Desperation is really coming this time.


    But when the outside world is about to turn upside down, weird things happen.


    An Feng, who had been dead for more than thirty hours, suddenly had a heartbeat! After Hal noticed it, he immediately summoned the medical team to resume treatment. Soon, without even needing resuscitative treatment, his heartbeat resumed and gradually became stable, and his breathing and blood pressure returned to normal.


    In the middle of the night, An Feng opened his eyes.


    There were at least twenty pairs of eyes staring at him intently in the ward. It took An Feng a while to get used to the light, and he asked, "How long have I been dead?"


    Hal reported: "36 hours 21 minutes and 12 seconds."


    "It''s okay!" An Feng said, trying to get up, "Why are you looking at me? Arrange a nurse to take a blood sample, and the antibody is in my body!"


    Everyone was stunned for a long time, followed by excited hugs and cheers.


    An Feng was indeed defeated by the virus. Most of his organs had stopped working, as if he was dead, but the robot brain was still functioning. Due to its semi-biological characteristics, it could control the body and produce antibodies against the virus. It lurks, waiting for the last chance to stand up.


    An Feng understands, it��s not that he didn��t give a solution, but the solution is on him!


    After he got up, his body was a little weak, but it was only due to hunger, and his performance in other aspects was the same as before. He was even able to knock down three strong men in one go as before... Just when he was happy, his face changed, and he suddenly said: " Hal, quickly help me connect to the base!"


    Hal responded quickly and connected to the base in Texas.


    Joanna, who learned that secret documents were leaked and that society was about to collapse, fell asleep on the conference table exhausted physically and mentally, and two lines of tears fell on the table.


    She dreamed of a lifeless earth decades later, completely full of despair.


    But soon, a voice called her, and she looked up and saw a familiar person in front of her. She rushed forward, wanting to hug him excitedly.


    But there was nothing, and she woke up suddenly.


    Eve is looking at her: "Ma''am, there is a communication."


    "Take it," Joanna said.


    When An Feng''s upper body appeared in the video, she was completely stunned.


    An Feng smiled: "Hi, it''s about 1:35 in the morning in London time, how much is it in your place?"


    Joanna looked at her watch stupidly and said, "It''s 19:35 in the evening."


    "I just finished dinner!" An Feng said, "You don''t just have a word of welcome for me, do you?"


    "Are you okay?" Joanna asked, dimly thinking that she was dreaming.


    "I slept for more than 30 hours, and I had nightmares." An Feng said, "It made you worry. Judging by your expression, I probably thought it was a dream."


    "Yeah." She nodded, "I don''t want you to leave again, I''m afraid."


    "Don''t worry, my promise still works." An Feng laughed, "Now, please pinch yourself hard, and you can prove it."


    Joanna pinched her face childishly, and the pain told her that it was all true.


    "Are you still alive?" She stood up abruptly.


    "It was a suspended animation, and I thought I was doomed, but God made a joke with me, but I lost a gift��a perfect virus antibody."


    "How about it, surprise?"


    "Thank God!" Joanna laughed and cried, "Thank God!"

 Chapter 430： first strike

    Chapter 430 The first counterattack


    An Feng''s resurrection from the dead finally brought back a round in this virus war.


    Joanna asked him for more details, and learned that the antibody is currently being analyzed, followed by the development of a vaccine and clinical testing. The whole process will have to wait for a while. But the outside world has reached the brink of collapse, and perhaps in the next second, society will collapse due to the threat of a terrorist virus.


    Joanna still needs to fulfill her duties.


    It is no longer necessary for her to evacuate the robot army that is about to arrive over the UK.


    Then she ran out to share the news with the disturbed crowd: the virus antibody had been found.


    Shrouded by the haze of the virus for more than half a year, everyone who is in panic, rejoice! They hugged and kissed each other and celebrated. But after that, Matthew said calmly: "Even if a vaccine is developed, the current society is in chaos, and the government''s words can no longer play a role."


    The hacking incident has just ended, and the second wave of exposure followed.


    Maybe the hacker who knows the facts knows the end is coming, he doesn''t care about anything, ignores the CIA''s warning, and shakes out all the classified documents, including the government''s cover-up, the uniqueness of the virus, and the virus classified as top secret source.


    How the original influenza virus was produced is unknown, but the spread is man-made!


    According to the CIA''s investigation, they found that in the Arab region south of the Mediterranean Sea, a group of religious extremists had an unprecedented virus in their hands. They originally wanted to use it against Americans, but changed their minds due to internal differences. They intend to transfer out.


    As it happens, someone is interested in this incomprehensible virus.


    The virus and the vaccine are ready to be traded. The intention of the purchaser is not clear, but they pay a high price and specify to test the effect of the vaccine. The transaction process was raided by the CIA, a firefight broke out, and the people carrying the virus fled without being found. Influenza broke out in Marseille, France half a month later.


    The United States, which knows the facts, actively searched for the whereabouts of the people who carried it afterwards.


    In the end they succeeded, and got the so-called "vaccine" - which is the basis for the insistence on the use of vaccines in France and the United States before, but no one thought that the vaccine could not defeat the virus - even if it could eliminate the virus, it could not be extinct, and the consequences would be Unexpected variation.


    Finally, SFV came out, and the end came.


    Hackers desperately believe that it is a gift from the devil Satan to mankind.


    Because the virus has completely subverted human��s previous understanding of the concept of ��virus��, all theories collapsed in front of it.


    It is absolutely impossible for the human world to produce such a thing, only demons can do it.


    The society is in chaos. People no longer believe the government''s nonsense and will not listen to them. Now they may be infected with the virus at any time. In the air, in the clear water, or even passing by people, they may contract the deadly virus... The only way Resist, the Bida drink for a few more days has been sold out.


    Joanna, who knew the facts, stood up: "For me, they still believe me."


    Compared with the cheating government, Joanna is obviously more trustworthy. At least from the initial reminder to the warning about the use of vaccines, to the series of facts that followed, she did not lie. People still pay attention to her, hoping that she can bring a little light and hope in the darkest.


    Joanna gets in touch with London via satellite.


    After discussing the matter, she made another news release, focusing on calming social sentiment and bringing good news: "A major breakthrough has been made in the research of virus vaccines, and the light will come sooner or later! I hope that each of us can actively cooperate to maintain social order !"


    "We need a normal order, so that the subsequent rescue work can be carried out more smoothly! I swear to God! The end of mankind has not yet come, and there is still hope! If you still believe in me, please do as I say! Just I need you to stay at home!"


    Joanna''s speech was disseminated by any means currently available.


    Most people choose to believe her because she is always right, especially when it comes to reminding vaccines.


    There are discussions on the Internet that Joanna��s words are now more credible than any government, and people will choose to believe and obey.


    Another thing please, was also dug up by the media.


    Carter, the original principal of the Medical Society, is currently arrested by the London police on the grounds that he hindered the major research and development of the virus. An insider who did not want to be named broke the news that the chairman personally gave the order, which was resolutely affirmed, and at the same time condemned Carter''s dictatorship.


    Carter became the target of public criticism, the public enemy of all mankind.


    The core of the incident is the research team that is always concerned by the world. After overnight efforts, Hal analyzed the antibody. An Feng discussed with him a vaccine synthesis plan. , nothing is too difficult.


    Synthesis requires special instruments. Anshi Industries, which has been shut down, has no human employees, and robots take over the work. Hurry up and develop. Finally, on the third day, it was urgently transported from the United States to the United Kingdom by plane. After some hard work, the first batch of vaccines were successfully developed.


    The initial volunteers were four medical experts who were also recruited due to negligence of water infection.


    There are still a few days left in their life predictions. By God''s blessing, the antibody was developed at this time, and they injected it immediately without hesitation. Other experts checked and recorded every half hour...a day later a surprise struck, and the virus was gradually eliminated by newly produced antibodies.


    After thirty-five hours, the first patient recovered, followed by the second and third patients.


    When the last patient recovered, Joanna shared the news on the Internet in advance as a great news for a special time period. Although the Internet in some areas has been paralyzed, it still received 5 million reposts. The content of her post is very simple: God bless mankind, the virus vaccine is clinically successful!


    In the darkest period of mankind, the light finally flashed. In the afternoon of the next day, the Medical Association held a press conference, officially announcing the success of the clinical test of the vaccine, and seized the time to conduct the second test. If things go well, the vaccine will be mass-produced and the method will be shared with the world for free.


    In the underground base in Texas, the dullness of the past is gone. Many friends came here, and the place became lively. When the vaccine was announced to be clinically successful, they even held a small party. Although they ate military compressed food and canned beef, But better than any delicacies.


    Because of the news that shocked the world, some order has gradually been restored around the world.


    Three days later, the Medical Association held another press conference to confirm the clinical success of the vaccine. From now on, the Medical Association will entrust all companies capable of producing vaccines to work overtime. The most important name is Xin''s Pharmaceutical Company, whose equipment is very advanced.


    But there are also disadvantages. Due to the difficulty of synthesizing vaccines and the precision machines required for production, only a few companies in the world can own them.


    The Medical Association will name Ans Industry again.


    An''s Industry is now the focus of all attention. Whether they can rush to work before death comes depends on them.


    But as long as there is a vaccine, it means the start of the human counterattack, and the doomsday virus will not be able to eliminate them. At present, it is necessary to race against time and try to keep the loss to a minimum. The number of confirmed deaths in the world exceeds 100 million, which is already at the level of World War II.


    But An Feng has succeeded, and he is trying to reduce the number of deaths as much as possible.


    A few days after London, the first batch of 1.5 million vaccines will be shipped according to the proportion of the infected population in the region. The second and third batches of factories are in the United States and France respectively. saving human lives while gradually restoring social order.


    Although there are many deaths, it is not a war. Once people''s hearts are stabilized, society will be able to return to normal.


    The government began to actively guide correct speech, and the chaos and order on the streets were gradually brought under control...everything is returning to the state before the virus outbreak. Three days later, An Feng and a group of American experts were preparing to return, and there was an extra box beside them, which was full of vaccines.


    An Feng took a shower, combed his hair, put on a brand new suit, put on sunglasses, surrounded by several robot bodyguards, and set off with great vigor. The counterattack has made progress. He is undoubtedly the greatest contributor to all mankind, the savior, but he has not taken all the credit.


    Just want to be a quiet savior.


    This is bound to be impossible. From the time he walked out of the Medical Association in a smart way, to the short distance when he got into the car at the door, there were a group of cameramen wearing light protective clothing who were not afraid of death waiting, and some reporters hiding in the car with cameras, more than a dozen The camera was aimed at him, and it was recorded with a click.


    The same goes for the old men and experts, they are the heroes of mankind.


    After getting into the car, senior officials greeted them at the airport, shook hands and said goodbye to them, and then boarded the passenger elevator car of the Boeing 747 special plane, and took off with praise and applause... After a while, the plane skipped New York, according to An Feng''s request Choose to land in Los Angeles.


    LAX Airport also gathered some courageous, journalists and a small number of officials to send off the heroes. After the plane landed, the passenger ladder car connected to the plane, just like the visit of a foreign head of state, was targeted by countless cameras, and walked down the red carpet in a high-profile way, with the sound of camera shutters.


    The gloved applause was not obvious, but the crowd was very enthusiastic, and An Feng also waved in response to the occasion.


    He is wearing sunglasses, dressed in cool black super, followed by bodyguards carrying black boxes on the left and right sides, his appearance was recorded by the camera, and in the future he will be called "the most handsome, but also the most recognized by the public" dress. After all, no matter what the saviors wear, in the eyes of the rescued people, they are all stylish.


    Applause was given to everyone including An Feng, because An Feng and their unified rhetoric weakened his own influence a little, saying that it was the result of everyone''s hard work. After all, the experts ran all the way and risked their lives, which is also worthy of admiration and praise.


    When An Feng walked to the front, he took off his sunglasses.


    In the crowd, Joanna and her two children were looking forward to it. When he walked over, Joanna ran over. An Feng stepped forward quickly, hugged Joanna who was almost flying, and turned around on the spot. Walked around, smiled and whispered in her ear: "Don''t run so fast in high heels!"


    Joanna didn''t speak, and the first thing after her feet landed was to kiss him.


    Intense and passionate French kisses, squeezed into his arms, desperately asking for it, and in front of so many people, this burst of enthusiasm made An Feng blush a little... Alice pouted beside him: "Dad I want a kiss too."


    An Feng let go of Joanna, held a child in each hand, hugged the two, kissed the cheeks one by one, and said with a smile, "Are you satisfied, children?"


    "Dad is great!" Alice said happily, "You are a big star!"


    There was thunderous applause at the scene, An Feng put down the child, waved to the crowd, hugged his wife, pulled the child, got into a car specially opened to greet him, and was escorted away by two bodyguard cars. The later thanks and praises are left to Case and the others. He hasn''t been idle yet.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 431： not over yet

    Chapter 431 is not over yet


    An Feng returned to his home in Santa Barbara and held a celebration party.


    They are the only ones in the world who have a reason, and it will be a celebration that is understood by everyone. Once his life was hanging by a thread, and finally the Jedi fought back. Even An Feng, the owner of the incident, left his last words, completely despairing of the status quo... Those who know the story will understand the hard-won behind this joy.


    The celebration was very simple. Everyone ate a meal in the living room, as well as the bread that was just made today, and spread some fragrant butter. This is the simplest meal that Anfeng has eaten since he moved in, but being able to be with so many family and friends, the taste is no worse than a gluttonous feast.


    After that, An Feng helped everyone get vaccinated.


    The two boxes of vaccines he brought back have a total of 80 vaccines. Now there are only more than 50 people here, enough for use, and the rest will be used as reserves, and will be provided when there is a need. Meanwhile, robots began inspecting homes with Angle Industries'' new scanners, focusing on air and water.


    The results are not bad, the air is clean, and the water here is not infected.


    After the exhaustion of the day ends, after late at night, according to the plot staged in the movie, after a fierce fight between the hero and the villain, there will often be a passionate scene with the heroine. It''s a little out of place...but who cares? An Feng was pushed down on the bed by her and frantically staged stories.


    Finally, An Feng surrendered: "Save it for next time!"


    Joanna lay down contentedly, telling her feelings: "I almost lost you."


    "Don''t think about those bad things anymore." An Feng put his arms around her smooth shoulders, rubbing his palms lightly.


    "Yeah." She buried her head in his neck greedily, warmed up for a while, and then asked: "It''s not over yet, is it?"


    "The battle has just begun!" An Feng said pessimistically, "Although with the vaccine, human beings have got rid of the possibility of extinction, but there are about 180 million infected people. Compared with the output, there will be 60 million people who will not be saved in time, and the base number of these 60 million people, the air germs that may be produced after their death, is even more terrifying."


    "Airborne?" Joanna asked.


    "Yes, the second time they mutated, they were able to spread through water sources, and the third time they gradually adapted to high temperatures. In the latter few times, there have been cases of germs in the breath of the dead. Floating, spreading the infected area."


    "What''s even more terrifying is that the future mutations, after they adapt to the water source and high temperature, will participate in the water cycle and bring rainfall with the transpiration of sunlight-all of which will be viruses. Hal also speculates that it can parasitize mosquitoes and flies And other organisms, more flexible transmission."


    "My God! How could there be such a thing?" Joanna couldn''t believe it.


    An Feng shook his head: "I can''t understand either. The virus has subverted all medical knowledge. I can only agree with the opinions on the Internet that it was brought by Satan. Because... how could such things exist? Their existence is unreasonable. It''s like ''quantum tunneling'' in physics."


    "What''s the meaning?"


    An Feng said: "It means that there is a wall in front of the microscopic particles that they cannot pass through, but there are particles that can pass through. The impossible and the possible coexist. What is the reason? The virus is the same, it has no conditions to produce - but it exists now. Want to break My brain can''t explain it."


    "so what should I do now?"


    An Feng said: "The only safe people are those who have antibodies. No matter how the virus changes, they are no match for antibodies. But now the production is too low, and the virus and humans are racing against time. It is not optimistic that the death toll will continue to increase. Find a better way."


    "You will, right?" Joanna looked up at him.


    An Feng said: "We now have a vaccine and can develop a drug that can block the spread of the virus on a large scale."


    "But promise me, don''t let yourself take risks again." Joanna said seriously, "I don''t want to experience the feeling of being heartbroken to the point of collapse, but I can''t express it, and I have to force myself to set an example for everyone afterwards. Do it again, I can''t do it anymore, I can''t hold on."


    "I promise you, there will be no more." An Feng hugged her tightly.


    ��


    The next day, recovery efforts continued.


    The matter is not over yet. The vaccine only announces the success of the first human counterattack. Extinction will no longer be possible. However, if the virus evolves badly, it can kill billions of people. This is what the government and medical institutions must pay attention to. But the key is that there are very few medical institutions that produce vaccines.


    The hardware level of the Medical Association has surpassed the world for 30 years, but only a few enterprises can enjoy these high-level hardware, and other regions are lagging behind. Let alone synthesis, it is a bit difficult in theory... Now Anshi Industry is Go hard and hold on tight.


    The British Medical Association is also stepping up training personnel and will support all parts of the world.


    There are currently three major manufacturers of vaccines. The United States has the highest output. Xin��s Pharmaceutical Company is a world-class large-scale pharmaceutical company. It has three factories equipped with high-end equipment. The base is a drop in the bucket.


    Now the whole world is waiting for the rescue of the vaccine. There is an endless stream of visitors at the gates of the medical association and foundation headquarters, and they are also diplomats, ambassadors, etc. from various countries. Even Santa Barbara has reporters at the gate of the manor. To get the latest inside scoop.


    Currently, the world is most concerned about the production of vaccines. Apart from pharmaceutical companies, there are also Anshi Industries, which is manufacturing medical machines for other countries, that are frequently mentioned. The first batch of ten machines has been successfully shipped, and five of them were sent to China. Because of the high population density and severe epidemic situation, more machines are needed. In addition to the machines, An Feng also dispatched professional support from Los Angeles.


    I have a machine, but I can''t master the method and use it well. China, as the first group to receive aid, publicly thanked An Feng and his wife. Without their help, the whole world would be in dire straits... An Feng is very indifferent to fame, even though the whole world knows his actions.


    From using the machine to learning to synthesize, it takes at least ten days.


    They still have to race against time in other ways. Ans Industries continues to cooperate with the Medical Association. This time, it is necessary to eliminate the virus in the medium of transmission, such as eradicating the virus in the air, eradicating the virus in the water source... Ans Industries, which is the leader, has its "ANS" logo Known by all.


    ��


    The whole world is recovering nervously.


    In addition to the rare solidarity of human beings, some disgraceful things happened in the most severely affected French region: when a group of relief supplies went deep into the high-risk areas in the south, they encountered armed robbery! The convoy''s vaccines were all taken away.


    What''s worse is that intelligence has shown that after the snatching incident, these 200,000 vaccines began to flow to the black market, where they were sold at exorbitant prices. , Will not hesitate to use money.


    The international community condemned, and the French authorities said they would investigate.


    But the word "investigation" might have been a deterrent in normal times, but it is a complete joke in this era where people are afraid to go out and viruses are everywhere. Even if hackers dare to provoke the CIA on the Internet and publish their home address, the CIA dare not fart - because in southern Europe - that place is **** now.


    This incident reminds mankind that not everyone can be of one mind.


    No matter where you are, there will always be scum. The characteristics of human beings determine everything, condemnation is just a waste of words, the social focus is still on the mass production of virus vaccines, An Feng is also absorbed in his own affairs, he doesn''t care about changes in the outside world, he might as well engage in research and development if he has free time.


    Joanna continued her role as "spiritual leader".


    Now her words are indeed more effective than the government, especially in Europe, where it is almost like North Korea hanging her portrait on the wall. People know that her speech and attitude represent the most authoritative structure, never wrong, and ahead of time, people trust her.


    In a public speech, she said that she would provide free assistance to difficult areas.


    Difficult areas include virus-intensive areas, such as southern France, Italy, and Spain, where the local virus infection rate reaches 30%, a real **** on earth; followed by densely populated areas, where the epidemic situation in China and India is not optimistic; Source of infection in North Africa.


    She promised to invest 30 billion U.S. dollars to speed up the production of vaccines, supply them to developed countries at cost prices, just like the United States, and send professionals to guide them. There is nothing wrong with the cost price. Putting aside topics such as profitability, no one is working now, and labor costs are high. No money can''t save people.


    The money opened up three factories, using a large number of robots to produce vaccines, and some of them were airlifted to Europe through US military transport planes. The demand in Western and Southern Europe remained high. When the plane dropped the safety box with the ANS logo down , the crowd boiled.


    The shock-absorbing box specially developed by Anshi Industry can absorb the falling energy at the maximum speed and ensure the safety of the vaccine inside. At the same time, there is no need for a convoy to transport it back and forth. The plane passes over the head of the hardest-hit area and can be dropped by air, which greatly improves the rescue. efficiency.


    The Americans also counted as a practical deed of saving the world��although they opened the magic box.


    The south of France was rescued by airdrops, and Italy also came to ask for help.


    Mancini, the mayor of Sardinia, finally connected to Joanna''s communication after repeated contacts.


    Mancini brought urgent news.


    "At present, more than 300,000 people have died from the virus. Our air and land transportation is limited, and the traffic in the surrounding areas is paralyzed. The remaining 1.7 million people are trapped on the island. Facing the virus, they are in danger and urgently need assistance. Save us here 1.7 million lives!"


    "Even if it''s just a part, it can block the spread of the virus. For the sake of God and our friendship! Ma''am, please! The whole island is waiting for rescue. Just a word from you can give us more than a hundred Thousands of people bring life, we are eternally grateful to you!"


    Although this kind of behavior is somewhat selfish, Joanna still made a decision: "I will try my best to arrange airdrop rescue!"


    "You are a messenger sent by God, we will always thank you!" Mancini said excitedly, the situation there was really bad.


    Joanna used her privilege to set aside part of Sardinia''s share.


    When the French military plane flew overhead, the people on the island shouted "Long live Joanna", and ANS airdrop boxes with parachutes landed one by one, bringing 150,000 vaccines, saving this island hovering on the edge of **** . When people touched the box, they were all moved to tears.


    The box is unlocked by the overhead satellite and opened with a password, which greatly prevents the possibility of illegal theft. Following the special aid agencies of the Medical Association, they began to teach the local people how to use the vaccine and choose the appropriate dose... The feeling of being reborn cannot be described in words.


    The Sardinian government then publicly thanked Joanna for her good deeds, saying that she and her husband are the saviors of the world, the most respected, the most benevolent, the most popular in the world...etc. The words "Long-Live" for cheers.


    While An Feng was resting on a chair while he was busy, he suddenly laughed when he heard Eve read some news and talked about this interesting story about Europe.


    News commented: "If Sardinia is a sovereign country, she can be elected president as long as she is willing."


    "What do you think?" An Feng asked.


    Eve replied: "According to the analysis of human personality, the probability is very high."

 Chapter 432： reverse key

    Chapter 432 Reversal key


    An Feng didn''t take the joke to heart. Although Joanna has leadership skills, it can be seen from this series of events that her comfort and guidance to the people is exemplary, and she is known as a spiritual leader. But being a politician was not something she was willing or considering.


    After hearing some important news, secretary Julie came.


    She knocked on the open office door, An Feng said: "Please come in."


    Julie walked in with the documents in her arms, and said in front of An Feng: "Mr. An, there is a government representative downstairs who wants to discuss something with you."


    "I''m not free." An Feng yawned, "Let Joseph talk to them about management matters, and let Keith talk to them about technical issues."


    "There are representatives of five countries." Julie said.


    "One hundred countries will not work." An Feng is sure.


    Julie smiled, and An Feng looked at her. The girl put away her smile and said solemnly, "Then I said that Mr. An needs to rest, so you shouldn''t disturb him?"


    "You said that I am at the most critical stage, and if I interrupt it, I am the enemy of mankind." An Feng said.


    "Okay, sir." The girl turned and walked out. After thinking about it, he came back and gently closed the door of the office for him. Since it was a critical moment, no one could see that the boss was dozing off. An Feng smiled, the girl who just graduated was so clever.


    Downstairs are the representatives sent by the five major organizations, who want to know about the research and development of vaccines and antiviral agents, and the dispatch of technical personnel. They all got high-end machines from Anshi Industries, but the theory is difficult to understand, and the production efficiency is not high, which is far inferior to the three pharmaceutical factories.


    The government is very concerned about such a critical issue of efficiency.


    Secretary Julie came down with a regretful expression, and told them: "Mr. An is conducting a very important research and development with the technical team, and he cannot be disturbed in any way. He can''t receive you, but he can let the company executive and technical director come to have a meeting with you. discuss."


    "It doesn''t matter. Technology research and development is the most important thing, and it must be ranked first. We are just learning the details now, as long as there are professionals." The visitors are very open-minded. Really die.


    It''s uncomfortable to be targeted by humans all over the world. Carter is an example.


    Discussing things and technology, Joseph came forward, and Keith sent an assistant to deal with it. As a Nobel Prize winner, the world''s top medical expert, and a member of the Savior Committee...he is also a big name, but this big name is only because he is completing The task assigned by An Feng.


    The discussion at the meeting was very harmonious. Now, every move of this group of people is watched by the whole world and determines the future. According to the prediction of the World Health Organization, even if there is a vaccine, there will be no progress in other aspects. If the virus continues to mutate, the death toll may exceed 10%. "Billion" is used as the unit.


    Delaying anti-virus research and development is more evil than Hitler-no one can bear this crime.


    ��


    An Feng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked out, and suddenly saw a flower shop on the opposite street opened.


    Compared with a month ago, the whole world was at a standstill, and now it is gradually recovering. Although not many people patronize the bright flowers in full bloom, the owner of the flower shop carefully maintains this bit of beauty under the gray sky, adding to this dull city. vitality.


    An Feng asked the bodyguard to buy some flowers.


    Then he took the elevator to the top of the building, took the helicopter home, and it was already late.


    The helicopter landed on the front lawn, An Feng got off the plane with a bouquet in his arms, and Joanna stood at the door waiting for him. An Feng stepped forward and gave her flowers: "Fresh and tender roses, fiery red and passionate like your charm, give it to my dear Joanna. Thank you."


    "I like it." She hugged An Feng and kissed him on the cheek, "Is there a flower seller on the street?"


    An Feng put his arms around her and entered the room: "A gentleman who faces life optimistically opened his business. He said he would bring a little bit of color and hope to all the people passing by."


    "That''s great." Joanna lowered her head and smelled the flowers.


    Came to the hall, Alice ran over: "Dad, Dad, what a beautiful flower, I want to..."


    "Of course, dear." An Feng magically took out a flower from behind, handed it to Alice, and stroked her hair: "Are you satisfied?"


    "It''s beautiful!" Alice said, "Thank you, Daddy."


    An Feng sat down and found that everyone was busy with paper and pens. He asked strangely, "What are you doing?"


    An Feng''s sister raised her head: "We are writing wishes, which will be attached to the vaccine box, and hope that everyone who sees them can get these blessings."


    "Not bad!" An Feng gave a thumbs up. Friends have been idle for more than half a year, and they have been anxious all the time. It''s good to have something to do now.


    Provide a good medicine for the human spirit... Don''t underestimate this point. Without Joanna''s appeasement during the critical period and her exemplary role, the society may collapse early. She played the role of a very successful spiritual leader this time. Hope is pinned on.


    After folding a piece of paper, Xiaoyu put down her pen and asked, "Uncle, is everything going well?"


    "Working hard." An Feng said, "There are too many variables in this. If we want to eliminate the virus on a large scale, we have to adopt more complicated methods."


    "Come on!" she said.


    "Sure." An Feng nodded, "What shall we have for dinner tonight?"


    "Compressed dry food and bottled water, a lot of bread and canned beef." Alice said aside.


    Joanna said with a smile: "Listen to your tone, do you dislike it?"


    "It''s so unpalatable." She flattened her mouth.


    Joanna asked: "My brother can eat happily, why can''t you?"


    Alice said: "Because I left all the delicious parts to Fred."


    An Feng hugged her with a smile: "Alice is so caring, she deserves encouragement! How about we have some freshly made cooked food tonight?"


    "Okay!" Alice cheered up.


    "Is there no problem?" Joanna asked.


    An Feng nodded: "The test results have come out. The poultry we commonly use is not infected. You can eat it with confidence, and we all have antibodies."


    ��


    The diet problem is not too convenient. It is not sure whether poultry or animals can be infected with SFV. According to the statistics in Africa, some animals did die, but unlike the mass fall of humans, the virus has little impact on them. Poultry Cases have not been reported.


    With the release of the authoritative report of the Elizabethan Society of Medicine, people''s tense hearts have also gained a bit of relaxation.


    Now people''s trust in the medical association has reached 99%, and almost all the news they release will be accepted and recognized by the public. On the contrary, the credibility of the words of some governments has continued to decline, and some of them just said it. It was ridiculed as "nonsense".


    However, the nonsense released by the United Nations this time makes people cautious.


    The World Health Organization announced that the virus continues to mutate, and on the basis of being able to infect through water and air, the infection effect is strengthened again. Boiling water is difficult to eliminate them. The virus survives longer in the air and is exposed to sunlight for two weeks or more. Neither can be eliminated.


    The world resident medical association and the organization of the research center in Los Angeles keep updated with the latest developments to adjust human coping strategies. At present, the consensus reached by everyone is that when the virus is getting stronger and stronger, blocking its spread has become the most critical thing.


    This is also the most urgent task of the Anfeng team at this stage.


    Vaccines can indeed protect many lives, but compared to the ability of the virus to spread, it seems powerless. At present, major countries are still working hard to produce, and Anshi Industry is also rushing to work. The virus spreads at a speed 100 times faster than them. The latest data confirms the infected population reached 500 million.


    80% of them are likely to be cured, but the rest��


    After the victory in the counterattack, the second battle focused on encircling and suppressing the virus transmission route.


    This is a war without gunpowder, but its intensity is greater than any war in human history. Viruses are everywhere, mutations occur at any time, and companions who fall silently... This psychological pressure is stronger than the shells on the top of the head. On Explosion is more direct to the heart.


    What human beings fear most is not the fear that can be recognized, but the panic that comes from the unknown.


    At the critical moment, Joanna''s assistant let go and said that she could accept media interviews.


    The location is in the reception hall of the manor, and the media that are allowed to interview are all mainstream in the world, such as Xinhua News Agency, Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, Reuters and a few representative media, Joanna will accept their interviews. Access, and allow questions and appropriate answers.


    The reason why she agreed to open up her private domain was also to stabilize her emotions.


    Although there is a vaccine, the society is still not stable enough, optimism is too early, the number of vaccines is limited, and the production efficiency is not as expected. In fact, human beings only relied on Anfeng to win the first victory, and the virus can still harvest their fragile lives to their heart''s content.


    In order to prevent this situation, spiritual leaders have to take responsibility.


    The media who were named were very pleasantly surprised. To say that Joanna is definitely among the few people who are most concerned about in the world. Her good news is an important tool to bring people hope. Areas that still have access to the Internet are always paying attention to her actions.


    The media have carefully prepared for this visit, including details.


    In the luxurious living room, a group of media surrounded her, surrounded by assistants and translators. She sat in a well-dressed manner, faced the camera and answered questions from the media, focusing on the current second phase of work. The key to how to prevent transmission.


    She talked about the steps An Feng said, trying to make the audience understand as clearly as possible.


    Although he didn''t deliberately conceal it, he also used his unique language charm to make things less tense, and even revealed a little optimism everywhere. When the reporters thought that the water source was infected and there was no way out, she said, "The groundwater is clean, the seawater has not been polluted, and the desalination project is very advanced."


    The reporters applaud her answer.


    There was not much time for the interview. After the interview was over, the bodyguard politely asked them to leave.


    A female reporter stepped forward, but the bodyguard blocked her. Joanna nodded, and she was able to step forward and said, "Mrs. An, I think you are indeed the spiritual leader of mankind."


    "Thank you." She smiled.


    "It should be us thanking you!" said the female reporter, "And your husband, all those who are fighting on the front line, you are real heroes!"


    Joanna stretched out her hand, and the female reporter shook her hands.


    In addition to serious reports afterwards, the media also talked about the unique charm they felt when facing the baroness in person. Every word of her can make people trust. Finally, she said: "She said that blocking the transmission route is the key to reversing the predicament, but I think her company and encouragement are also the key to our persistence!"

 Chapter 433： final victory

    Chapter 433 Final Victory


    While Joanna inspired the crowd, the research finally made progress.


    Hal performed high-load calculations for five consecutive days, and screened out a plan that was more in line with the results. Then An Feng summoned a team of assistants to start intense research and development. At the same time, the fear of the outside world is spreading again. Statistics show that the virus has killed 200 million people by the end of February, far higher than expected.


    In addition, some of the deceased were not properly disposed of, the virus in the body was exposed to the air, some died, and the rest were stronger, they could survive for a longer time, floating in the air, people were a little careless become infected and continue to infect.


    Governments of various countries are also battered, but there is nothing they can do.


    In the world, only medical associations and research centers can overcome the virus, let alone other institutions. After multiple mutations, they don��t even know how to do it��including An Feng, who has not yet obtained the perfect antibody, is helpless, even desperate Some think that human life is exhausted.


    When the society was anxious, Joanna broke the news that things were beginning to happen.


    Countless people were looking forward to her good news. Three days later, the Medical Association announced that they had synthesized a disinfectant to eliminate waterborne viruses, which could be used directly in water without affecting the human body. Mass production is not too difficult. This time, many countries capable of mass production.


    Medical Society will send methods and samples, while air purification research continues.


    Joanna once again said that the perfect solution is coming soon��on the other hand, the virus has become invincible, and ordinary infected people have an attack in one day and die in three days, and the germs in the air are more tenacious, and then some regions report the most terrifying so far Something �� Virus Rain Fog.


    They have been transmitted from the air to join the natural water cycle system, just like clouds on a rainy day, drifting to all parts of the world, bringing heavy rainfall. In this case, even hiding at home may not be immune, because the rain and fog falling on the ground will continue to spread in the air.


    The news reported that it rained in a small city in the eastern United States. Overnight, everyone found that they were infected. While they were desperately waiting for the vaccine, they died one after another. When the rescue team arrived, the whole city had been reduced to an empty city. , deathly silence.


    Countries around the world are already in panic, and the dark clouds above their heads can''t tell whether it is normal rainfall or a virus.


    The confrontation between humans and viruses is heating up.


    Twenty million deaths were reported within three days, and it only took one and a half days for the virus to go from infection to death this time.


    All over the world, only people with vaccines in their bodies don��t have to worry. Others can��t wait to dig a hole to hide. Relief supplies are also delayed. Although the output has increased by five times, it is still limited for the huge infected population...Desperation continues until The press conference held again by the Medical Association.


    This time they solemnly announced that there has been a breakthrough in blocking air transmission, and even if the governments of various countries cooperate, Anshi Industries will have a way to completely eliminate the virus cloud above their heads... An hour later, representatives from all over the world began to communicate with Anshi Industries and Medical Association through holographic communication dialogue.


    In addition to spraying anti-SFV disinfectants from aircraft, rockets can be used to launch disinfectants to deal with virus clouds to completely transform the virus, and missiles can even be used to specifically attack certain suspicious clouds... But this involves the use of military organizations.


    But with little hesitation, countries agreed to this approach��they would do whatever it takes to eliminate viruses that are more deadly than nuclear bombs. Then Ans Industries began intensive cooperation with the military, and the first test took place in Los Angeles.


    The TV station has announced in advance that the single-engine fixed-wing aircraft with the "ANS" logo printed will perform stunts and fly over the city at low altitude, releasing disinfectant over the city like spraying pesticides. At the same time, it is suggested that people also Come out to "disinfect".


    The plane that sprinkles pesticides must be a fixed wing, and it is a single propeller that is not fast. It is a bit like World War II planes. They are also popular models in the world aerobatic competition. flight.


    Sprinkle pesticides... No, the time for spraying disinfectant is set at 9 o''clock in the morning. On this day, people come and go on the street, and the bustle of Los Angeles has resumed. The streets and alleys are crowded with people wearing masks and gas masks. There are also crowds of people on the ground, and people frequently look up, looking forward to it.


    Soon, the sound of the plane came from overhead.


    Six fixed-wing aircraft appeared in the distance, one of which was equipped with a scanner, which scanned back and forth like a radar beam, and ordered the remaining five fixed-wing aircraft to clean up key hidden areas. When the aircraft passed by at low altitude, People excitedly waved and cheered.


    With the rumbling sound, the fixed-wing aircraft sprinkled the disinfectant, and people opened their hands to enjoy it, and some even picked up their children to receive this special "protective bath" in the way of baptism. Countless cameras recorded this scene, and after repeated spraying several times, Los Angeles lifted the crisis.


    Although the vaccine has not yet arrived, Los Angeles no longer has the ability to infect germs, and the water source and the air have been cut off. People on the street took the initiative to accept interviews, saying that Ans Industry is the savior of mankind. Some buddies even admitted that they are more powerful than the government. Vote for "it" next election.


    ��


    Disinfection methods are also used all over the world, from the stunt spraying of disinfectants by airplanes, to the rumble of rockets carrying medicines into the sky, turning into rain and fog...Waterworks continue to add disinfectants...Fistes raised high all over the world finally hit hard In the face of cunning opponents.


    This heavy blow is the most enjoyable one for human beings!


    Any time in the past, they were squeezed into a corner by the virus and teased them severely. Now, the invincible virus has encountered its natural enemies, and it is human''s turn to take revenge on them by killing them... Good scenes continue to be staged, social order is restored, and there are more pedestrians on the street.


    One month later, the world''s epidemic has been effectively controlled, and all countries have mastered the method of vaccine synthesis. The world''s daily production of vaccines has exceeded 30 million, and the amount of 100 million in three days. The virus that people are talking about has disappeared in big cities, and humans are concentrating on encircling and suppressing it.


    Social entertainment is gradually increasing, and entertainment dramas on TV stations are staged in turn. People interviewed also expressed that they can face the new life optimistically.


    Humanity gained the upper hand after the initial embarrassment.


    During this period, there are only three things that people are most looking forward to: Joanna''s speech, the press release of the Medical Association, and An''s industrial god-like appearance.


    Every speech made by Joanna represents the arrival of new hope and a reversal of the situation; the Medical Association is to confirm the news and win the battle against the virus again and again; Ans Industries, through their unique methods, breaks through the routine and staged countless times Impossible miracle.


    The most critical figures are Joanna and An Feng.


    Joanna is known as the spiritual leader of mankind. She led people through the darkest eight months. An Feng is very low-key, but people already know that An��s industry belongs to him. ANS marks the coming of hope, airborne rescue The scene of the vaccine is remembered by countless people.


    By mid-April, the epidemic around the world had basically disappeared.


    The daily production of vaccines has reached 100 million. People no longer have to worry about the shortage of virus vaccines. The viruses that still exist in a small number of areas can no longer frighten them. Almost everyone has received vaccine injections, and social order has returned to virus outbreaks. previous orderly state.


    But the United Nations report makes people never forget the darkest moment in human history.


    The virus has infected 1.1 billion people, and the death toll is currently 360 million, far exceeding the two wars in human history. The most advanced and powerful weapon of mankind is vulnerable to the virus. The self-proclaimed overlord of the earth, if not for the reversal of key figures, would have been extinct long ago.


    The whole world is mourning the end of the battle. The leaders of every country have made televised speeches one after another, remembering those who lost their lives, and calling on the living to cheer up and face a new life and cherish every day. Charities around the world are getting donations and people are giving their hearts out.


    ��


    An Feng talks to Hal at home.


    An Feng found that he had underestimated the ability of the "Doomsday Crisis" countless times before, thinking that with the help of high technology, he could easily deal with it - but even the mysterious power has to remind himself by reversing time and space, which has already proved the doomsday of strength.


    If he hadn''t taken the lead in the first place, but hid in the first place... There are not many human beings left on the earth now. Success or failure is only a matter of one thought, and he has a narrow escape. He is also glad that the doomsday is just a virus. If it is another way, if it is a war, how intense will it be?


    But luckily, thank any god, he succeeded.


    Hal is doing the final calculation of the equation, and the calculation speed has been slow recently, and An Feng knows that the end of the third generation of Hal has come. These days, it is overdrawing its lifespan almost all the time, and it has contributed a lot, but it is a pity that it is destined to only hide behind the scenes and be a hero.


    Finally, Hal got the result.


    "How is it?" An Feng asked.


    "The equation is invalid." Hal said flatly.


    "Failed? Why?" An Feng didn''t understand.


    Hal explained: "This stage has passed, the equation is for the end, and if the end is gone, it will naturally fail. Congratulations! Humanity has achieved success! It has survived this unprecedented crisis at a small cost. The end is over , the future is in the hands of human beings themselves!"


    An Feng leaned on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief: "It''s finally over!"


    Ever since he learned of the doomsday prophecy, although he acted very relaxed, there was always a lump in his heart and he felt uncomfortable. Roaring a few times, I completely wiped away those worries in my heart.


    Suddenly, he asked, "What about the robot base?"


    Hal said: "It''s up to you. From now on, any human decision will have an unknown effect on the development of the world. No matter what happens, it is unpredictable and unpredictable. You can keep it or clear it. There are countless possibilities.��


    "Let''s keep it." An Feng said, "At least it will come in handy for any major event."


    Hal said: "Not necessarily, if it is a war, there are multiple results for you to use robots: one is to successfully resolve the crisis, and the world is peaceful; the other is to resolve the crisis superficially and plant hidden dangers for the future; ; Fourth, you resolved the crisis, but it triggered a big war; fifth,..."


    Hal kept talking about more than a dozen possibilities.


    An Feng worried: "Are you okay?"


    "My logic has reached its limit." Hal said a little dullly, "I''m glad to get along with you, I should say goodbye."


    "It''s a pleasure to work with you too, Hal!" An Feng stood up, "Goodbye, buddy!"


    "Goodbye, Ann!" Hal smiled for the first time.


    This parting is forever, although An Feng can create Hal 4, Hal 5... but their souls are no longer the same, even if the appearance is similar in all directions, but in the process of character shaping, it will automatically choose to suit itself , but there is no similar situation with the predecessor.


    An Feng paid tribute to it. In this war, it is an unsung hero.


    ======


    PS: As a preview, the second wave of high-energy plots will continue later, and more will be added tomorrow... There is quite a lot of content left, and I am afraid there is still some time before the end. I will try my best to fill in all the holes I dug.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 434： fight

    Chapter 434 Fighting with others


    At the beginning of May, the epidemic was basically declared over.


    All the responsibilities of An Feng have been completed, and the three generations of Hal have also successfully concluded their curtain call... All human beings can relax for a while, although the mood may not be too exciting. A super virus that lasted for nearly nine months caused 380 million deaths, accounting for 380 million people. 5.2% of the total global population.


    Not to mention far away, the United States at the foot of Anfeng alone has had nearly 20 million deaths since the outbreak of the epidemic. Because of the large population and moderate population, the death rate in the United States is relatively close to the level of 5.2%, but it is not the level of any A death toll not seen in a single war.


    Europe is even more miserable. As the center of the virus outbreak, human life is worthless at all. The population of Europe has dropped by 10%. The situation in the most primitive area of ??the outbreak��France is the worst, with 32% of the population directly emptied, and the surrounding Spain, Germany and Italy are also the same Desperate.


    Too many people have lost their loved ones in this disaster, and even An Feng found that many familiar numbers in the phone book are in a state of no one answering...It may take a long time to adjust to life after the disaster. Fortunately it''s not war, and everyone''s homeland remains.


    An Feng held a low-key and simple party. He didn''t want to, it was inappropriate, but as his 40th birthday, his family insisted on celebrating him, even if there was only a small cake. As a hero who risked his own life to save all mankind, he has reason to celebrate.


    There were many guests present, and they were all familiar faces.


    Although the virus does not distinguish between targets, the rich do have an advantage. Most of An Feng''s friends survived, and those who were his neighbors had nothing to do with him. When the epidemic just broke out, An Feng gave all his friends Red alert, prevent in time.


    Everyone put out the cake, the portion was not big, there were a few candles, and the Arabic numeral "40" was written in the middle. An Feng didn''t celebrate his birthday very much, but this time, he wore a paper crown and made a wish as required. , I blew out the candles myself, and then cut the cake with a knife.


    An Feng said to everyone: "Thank you for coming! In this disaster, we may have lost friends and relatives, but I also believe that the relatives and friends who died absolutely do not want to see us live in sadness forever, so actively Facing life, start over!"


    "Well said!" Matthew applauded.


    Others also applauded for his birthday and for his success in surviving.


    Friends around An Feng are well aware of the power of this virus. Without his feat, human beings would be struggling with death. The number of deaths is definitely not as small as 380 million. With the ability of the virus to spread, it can almost wipe out all Humanity.


    Throughout the month of May, everyone spent mourning and restoring order.


    The same is true for An Feng. He has attended more than a dozen funerals and witnessed too many life and death separations. His mentality has always been dull. At the beginning of June, society returned to normal and most of the economy recovered, but in the eyes of passers-by on the road, it was somewhat sad. Shadows... such is life.


    Apart from these painful talk, other aspects are not bad.


    After this disaster, An''s Industry became famous all over the world. To use the Chinese language more than ten years ago to describe it, it is "the **** exploded". The Elizabeth Medical Institute has set the benchmark for the highest level of human medicine. The sales of Bida Corporation skyrocketed, and its effect was obvious to all in this disaster.


    Those who drink bio-drinks for a long time spend two to three times longer fighting against the disease than ordinary people. Although they will die in the end, the meaning is different. The Bida factory, which has been shut down for several months, is fully operational again. Originally, there were doubts about Bida. The governments of various countries have also specially set up green lights.


    According to statistics, by the end of the year, Bida''s consumer population will reach 3 billion, with an average monthly consumption of about US$150, and the annual revenue of the world will reach US$5.4 trillion. It was dismantled to pieces, and the consortium was decentralized.


    The terrorist wealth of the Texas consortium is beyond doubt.


    But there are still some things provoking them. The once stagnant world economy returned to normal in early April, and the Texas consortium also resumed operations in April. By June, financial crises broke out in Europe one after another, and there were signs of currency depreciation��someone took advantage of the chaos to short European economy!


    This is what the consortium does not want to see, and it is also what they are most worried about during the outbreak. The disaster stalled their plans, and made many people see the flaws. Then, some people took advantage of the weakening of European countries to reduce their bond holdings and short the euro at the same time.


    European governments collectively condemn the insidious behavior of foreign hedge funds, saying that they are making "disaster fortunes" and will make Europe face a worse situation. The Texas consortium is also not happy. Part of their plan collapsed, and they lost hundreds of billions of dollars, making speculators hate it.


    The consortium can only use their wealth to fix the plan and prepare to fight back.


    After the capitalists have finished fighting against disasters, now it is their turn to fight against humans... I am afraid it is the inferiority of human beings.


    An Feng didn''t care about it, and provided financial support. Anyway, if he doesn''t play, others will. The disaster is over and it''s time to return to the original normal life. In addition, the two people who have made great contributions to the disaster relief also have a mountain of things to deal with and deal with.


    First of all, the media all over the world want to interview the legendary couple An Feng and Joanna. They are very curious about what it feels like to save mankind, and whether there is any difference between the heroes on the movie screen and in reality...An Feng refused all of them. It''s better to do more to pat stars when you have nothing to do.


    The second is some serious content, which will be preserved as history for future generations to refer to, such as the difficult process of vaccine development. The expert group really can''t stand it in this regard, because the main content happened to him. After An Feng communicated with them, the media got a standard answer.


    The research and development process is naturally the efforts of many people, and then the experts were unfortunately infected. Among them was An Feng. perfect antibody.


    In this statement, An Feng''s contribution is still great, but his special physique will not be highlighted too much. In addition, after he was infected, Hal did inject him with hundreds of medicines. Others don''t know. specific. After An Feng explained, they also thought it was a vaccine.


    There are also some honors, such as the undisputed Nobel Prize for the antibody research and development team, and An Feng is also included. In addition, Joanna planned to win the Nobel Peace Prize, but she refused. She believes that the cause of peace is all those who believed in her and supported her in this disaster.


    As soon as this remark came out, it was naturally explosive. Joanna''s Twitter followers had exceeded 100 million, becoming the first user to exceed 100 million, and it was increasing every minute. After people return to normal life, they all thank this spiritual leader who has always given them faith and support.


    This also led to this year''s Nobel Peace Prize, awarded to all mankind.


    In the end, the governments of various countries also sent thanks speeches one after another, especially after the visit to the medical research and development team, everyone finally understood the hardships inside. The hero An Feng once hovered on the verge of death, and exchanged his life for countless people. precious future of the species.


    Great is not enough to describe him.


    An Feng tried his best not to make himself high-profile, but now he has become the most high-profile and famous person in the world. Everyone knows him on the street, and those who don''t know him will wonder if this yellow man is the legendary Bruce. Ann, it also caused overseas Chinese to be constantly praised for being good.


    Only the person involved knows that he is so great. He just wanted to let his family have a better living space. He was accidentally infected with the virus. He is not willing to do it again... Now he can��t go out, so he can only stay at home and lie down Blow the sea breeze.


    An Feng is unwilling to accept praise, he just wants to be a hero in peace, when walking on the street, everyone will treat him as an ordinary person, just pass by, make eye contact, and say hello in heart... But The fact is impossible, his image is remembered by countless people.


    The only thing that comforts him is that the relationship between his friends and him is as usual.


    He didn��t turn into a salivating attitude because he is a superhero and a savior. What he was before is what he is now. The phone rang a few times, picked it up, and a familiar voice came: "Hi, I heard you''re getting moldy at home?"


    "Stop showing off in front of me!" An Feng said.


    "I know it''s hard to be a hero!" Wang Le said with a smile, "Our yacht is heading south and is going to pass by your house. Do you want to come up and play?"


    "Okay." An Feng couldn''t wish for it.


    A yacht goes south, Wang Le drives a motorboat, An Feng climbs on the motorboat, and turns to the yacht. Get on the boat and walk around the area, drink some drinks, bask in the sun, and talk to Wang Le about domestic affairs by the way. The post-disaster order in China has been restored quickly, and the demand for bio-drinks has skyrocketed.


    For An Feng, it means surviving a catastrophe, and the future will come.


    He is satisfied with most of the things, the only thing is that "fighting with people" has become hot again. In addition to the European economic struggle, the bill drafted by the U.S. Congress continues to be discussed. It is necessary to recover some capital from the enterprise.


    The amount of overseas tax avoidance is too huge. For the United States, which is short of money, it is undoubtedly a considerable financial subsidy, and as the United States, which has caused great disasters in the disaster, the mutated virus emerged under their vigorous insistence��although there is no If they do it, the virus will mutate sooner or later.


    But who cares? Now the feelings of Europeans towards the United States are very delicate. Even the domestic people are immersed in the grief of losing 20 million compatriots. Not to mention the current president, even the government is jointly and severally responsible. At this time, an outstanding political performance may make up for many crimes.


    Therefore, the U.S. government has targeted big companies. If you mess with big companies, you will die. If you mess with people all over the world, you will die. It is better to pick an easy one.


    In short, it is necessary to divert the public''s discussion on the attribution of responsibility and try to downplay it.


    The United States needs big events that can attract the public��just as Congress has now passed a bill that will conduct surprise inspections of the offshore financial behavior of multinational companies. In addition, there is also a draft for the establishment of offshore accounts for Americans holding shares in offshore companies.


    As the hero who brought mankind back from hell, An Feng is very unhappy now.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 435： Cant stand it anymore

    Chapter 435 Can''t stand it anymore


    "Those full-fledged MPs are so fucked!" An Feng was angrily.


    Wang Le shrugged his shoulders: "Who made them into such a big disaster? Although the intention is good, but this kind of unexplainable joint relationship can only be considered unlucky. Don''t say that European people are very unhappy, including the United States Inside, feelings are fragile all over the world right now."


    An Feng was upset: "These things are too annoying! By the way, when do you plan to go back?"


    Since the outbreak of the virus, the entry and exit management of various countries has been stricter. Wang Le did not go back, but just talked to his family on the phone to prove that everything is fine. But there are also some bad things. After all, China has the largest population, and the losses caused by the outbreak are also very heavy.


    Fortunately, An Feng focused on taking care of China, and the loss was controlled as much as possible.


    "Next week, the country is already very stable." Wang Le said.


    "I also plan to take my parents back. A few relatives have left." An Feng said.


    "Sorrow." Wang Le said.


    An Feng said: "It doesn''t matter. I have attended thirteen funerals during this period, and I have seen it. If you are still alive, try to live happily. No one can predict what tomorrow will be like, but you will die with a smile on your face." , is it better than waiting for death with a sad face?"


    Wang Le nodded: "I agree with your opinion."


    Next Zhou Anfeng will take his family and friends to China, Joanna will also be with him, and the two children will stay in the United States. After a while, he landed in City S, said goodbye to Wang Le, and continued to transfer to a flight to the south. All the way back home, people came and went on the street, and there were not many changes.


    But even passers-by looked a little dignified. The epidemic has taken tens of millions of lives, which is no less than a fierce all-out war. Huge psychological damage was done.


    An Feng saw a lot, so he looked at it calmly.


    A few days later, I originally wanted to stay for a few more days, but An Feng''s parents were very open-minded, knowing that he had a lot of things going on, so they didn''t let him stay longer. An Fenghe and Joanna returned to the United States, continued their normal lives, played their part, and made some contributions to the recovery of the whole world.


    The United States has been very lively recently, and the election of a new president is being held. It was postponed due to the outbreak of the virus. Now that it is starting again, the best advantage of the competitors is that they are clean.


    The current government is now thinking about itself and the future of the political party. Therefore, in the last six months, it is necessary to show past achievements, even if there is no hope of being re-elected. Therefore, Congress has already confirmed the passage of the bill for multinational companies, and it is also on the agenda for private individuals.


    An Feng is worrying about his own property and the huge tax problems that come with it.


    This is not something that can be solved by paying back taxes - it''s called tax evasion. If the designated tax payment period has been exceeded, not only must the payment be made, but a fine must also be imposed, and then the public prosecution will be brought to court. If the amount is large enough, he may go to prison for decades... This is the worst outcome.


    But for private offshore tax avoidance, after the bill is passed, if it is to be implemented, it needs the cooperation of many parties. At least the Swiss bank will not nod easily. It has to be discussed by the Swiss government. If the government wants to discuss it, it has to listen to the opinions of the parliament... Maybe it will If it is not passed, it will take five or six years to pass.


    During this period, he can launder money, launder hundreds of billions of dollars, and pay a certain fee.


    Obviously, the bill has given individuals a lot of preparation time, and the US government has no intention of completely driving the super-rich to a dead end. Now is an obvious reminder. An Feng believes that many people are looking for new tax avoidance methods, but he can''t find a more suitable one��because there is too much money.


    It is not too difficult to find a new way out for tens of billions of funds, but it is not easy for any banking organization to accept more than 100 billion, and it is too hot. The bank manager suggested that he give up his American citizenship and live in a country with light taxes. With his current reputation, he is welcome to go anywhere.


    The tax burden in the United Kingdom is lower than that in the United States, and the United Kingdom has chartered many offshore financial centers, the British Virgin Islands is relatively famous. It is much easier for An Feng to become naturalized than others. The whole world will welcome a hero who saves mankind. At the same time, his ability to create wealth cannot be underestimated.


    After a series of incidents, the media has made it clear that he is an invisible rich man.


    Because in the virus incident alone, his related and indirect expenses far exceeded the personal assets estimated by the media, 20 billion? No kidding, when Joanna allocated funds as the chairman of the Medical Association, it was simply 30 billion, and there are research centers that have a close relationship with them.


    The estimated value of the patents authorized by the research center exceeds two trillion yuan.


    Vaguely, people seem to have figured out something from the clues, but the matter covers too much, and with the current reputation of An Feng and Joanna, if they deliberately oppose them, the consequences will be terrible. The media that specialize in economic reports have ideas, but they dare not write them out.


    Now it is difficult to think about Cha Anfeng, and he is not afraid of these things. What worries him is the problem of changing the vest.


    ��


    The ?? consortium also encountered trouble in the grand economic strategy dabbled in.


    The originally meticulous plan, but because of the outbreak of the virus, eight months were completely wasted, which almost ruined half of the plan. They have already invested too much money in this bet, and now it is impossible to withdraw their hands. Even they couldn''t take the loss lightly.


    To make matters worse, the virus broke out in Europe, which affected the economy. During the period of economic stagnation in various countries, the government invested frantically in the research and development of vaccines. And dragged myself down.


    Coupled with the actions of some speculators after the disaster, the EU economy was hit hard.


    First of all, Greece can''t hold on anymore, they are about to go bankrupt, but with the lessons of more than ten years ago, the mutual influence between EU countries and European pig countries is not as serious as before. Germany is also calm about this matter, and they are working hard to restore domestic order , there is not much leisure to worry about Greece.


    It seems to be an agreement, and Italy, Spain and Portugal can''t stand it anymore.


    Italy is also in bad luck. The virus outbreak occurred in August, and they had a holiday in August. One pass two, two pass four... that''s it.


    In some of the hardest-hit areas in Italy, the death rate has reached 30%, which is almost on par with France. However, the Italian government, which was already living under the shadow of debt, has once again become its Achilles�� heel. First, the huge investment during the virus outbreak, and then to the support of enterprises across the country. expenditure.


    Although there are no bombs falling from the top of the head, and the buildings have not been reduced to ashes, the number of people going to work is much smaller than before. It��s not that they don��t want to go to work, but they are gone... The factory has no workers, no boss to pay wages, and naturally closed down. , A series of bankruptcies has caused the government to suffer.


    Yields on Italian bonds over 8% set off the bankruptcy alarm, they want to apply for international aid, but all parties are helpless, the situation is similar in EU countries, too much population loss, all are now adjusting and self-insuring, international currency Funding organizations also cannot act hastily in such a predicament.


    The economy of the four European pig countries is not very high-quality, plus they are lazy, don��t want to go to work and call for high welfare. Once they encounter some big or small things, they will not be able to stand it. Now that the problem is breaking out, the timing is very inappropriate. It just happens to be the moment when Europe is recovering and has no time for self-care.


    If it is only Greece, the problem may not be very serious, but if the four European pig countries collectively break out, it will still have a great impact on the European Union. It has been unable to alleviate market anxiety.


    The European Commission official in charge of the economy also admits that the prospects are worrying.


    Once these countries go bankrupt in a row, the European Union cannot avoid it. First, the European economy will experience a chain reaction of bad debts. It will be difficult to raise debts, and the creditors will be miserable. This will then affect the stock market, plummet, and damage the euro...and then form a vicious circle, bringing the whole Europe is embroiled in crisis.


    The biggest losses here are the member states of the European Union and the overseas capital of the consortium.


    The Texas consortium was taken over by someone. Originally, the bet was focused on the European economy. The victory was just around the corner, but the best opportunity was delayed due to natural disasters. The situation is also very depressing, and the consortium is actively discussing countermeasures.


    In addition, national sentiment is also affecting the situation.


    Protests broke out in Spain and Italy. On TV, people from all walks of life took to the streets to raise signs, excited, and college students also ran out to join in the fun. An Italian interviewed said that he now works eight hours a day, But seven hours to pay taxes!


    I can''t afford pasta!


    As American TV stations continued to interview other people, they got similar answers. The government is incompetent, not only because it cannot play a role in the virus disaster, but also slow to respond after the disaster. When encountering problems, it is not thinking about itself, but raising various tax rates first, so that The people of the whole country will bear it.


    So they shouted the slogan: go bankrupt!


    In terms of the significance of bankruptcy to a country, it is not like a company going bankrupt, where all valuables are auctioned off. It''s just that the country has no credit anymore, money is no longer valuable, even waste paper, state-owned assets are easily privatized, and the worst consequence is the formation of a colonial country where monopoly capital can do whatever it wants.


    But bankruptcy only hurts ordinary people. Rich people deposit their money in Swiss banks. They have nothing to do with how the country goes bankrupt. Instead, they earn more benefits at very low prices��for example, the government is forced to sell state-owned assets. Ten million, now millions.


    Ordinary people can��t afford tens of millions or millions, but for tycoons, it��s too simple.


    Under such dissatisfaction, the bankruptcy crisis broke out together with the crisis of trust.


    The people of Sardinia also took to the streets to march, but they concentrated on the matter of "separation from the government" because they did not want the disaster of Italian bankruptcy to affect them. In addition, during the virus incident, they were very dissatisfied, and even angry with the government''s isolation practices, and the public''s emotions broke out completely.


    They hold the government accountable for 600,000 dead.


    Even the opposition parties have discussed that a referendum will be held to decide whether they want to leave Italy.


    The Italian government immediately declared that the referendum was illegal and would not be recognized, and the army may go to suppress it��but the high-handed attitude will only bring about stronger resistance. In the virus disaster, they lost 600,000 lives, and they are no longer afraid of any violence and called for international intervention.


    Now Europe is really experiencing ups and downs, becoming the focus of world attention.

 Chapter 436： Bold idea [three more]

    Chapter 436 Bold idea


    An Feng didn''t care enough about the chaos outside.


    He has his own troubles now. In addition to the company and private account funds, overseas robot bases also have to make some adjustments. It is unrealistic to continue producing robots. The end is over and the future is in the hands of humans. None of his business.


    At the moment, he is editing the main program of the fourth generation of Hal, and he said: "It is impossible for one person to edit the intelligent program. If calculated by working twelve hours a day, I estimate that it will take hundreds of years to complete. But with supercomputers, it can be reduced to half a year."


    Joanna sat next to her and asked, "What is the basis for the generation of intelligence?"


    "Bionic." An Feng pointed to his own brain, "Simulate the transmission of neural charges in the cerebral cortex, and implant nano-robots that can divide and increase by themselves in the biological computer..."


    "Don''t explain too complicated." Joanna said, "I just know the superficial principle."


    "Anyway, it is simulating some operations of the human brain, but due to the lack of complete information, the rules of artificial intelligence will be confused in the later stage." After An Feng typed a series of codes, Eve automatically generated one billion codes for him, matched and selected the most suitable part of the fusion.


    "Understood." Joanna nodded.


    An Feng is now telling her most of the secrets, including the artificial intelligence and the robot base, but for the doomsday prediction, he did not explain the hints from the future, which is too worrying, so he covered up the past with a doomsday survival madness, anyway, this time The robot didn''t come in handy.


    Joanna asked again: "What are you going to do with the robot''s base?"


    "The US and Tanzania will be kept, and the others will be closed within a year." An Feng said, "I don''t need to continue spending money on them."


    Joanna said, "I agree."


    An Feng glanced at her and smiled: "Don''t worry, everything I do is for the people I care about. You and I have been married for many years. You should know that I am not an aggressive person. As long as people don''t offend me, Just world peace. Actually, I just want the world to be peaceful."


    Joanna propped her chin and said, "Yes, my superhero."


    An Feng smiled, and pressed the virtual button on the screen, an external call came in, it was Matthew''s communication.


    "Something to talk about." Matthew said, "find a convenient place."


    "I''m at home." An Feng said, "Wait a minute."


    An Feng and Matthew sat down in the living room, and he brought a decision: the consortium will continue to invest funds in Europe.


    "It''s really a big loss to get out now." An Feng said.


    Matthew said: "The previous plan was disrupted. We have to make a larger but more risky plan to repair it, and the benefits are also very high."


    "Specific plan?" An Feng asked.


    Matthew said: "We will help several countries on the verge of bankruptcy to tide over the difficulties, or not let the bankruptcy form a chain effect."


    "It''s not easy, is it?" An Feng said, the debts of the four countries are all serious, with a huge debt of hundreds of billions, it will be very sad in the next few years.


    Matthew said: "It will cost a lot of money, but as long as we get through this, we will be able to achieve profitability, and the prosperity will only need to remain stable until we withdraw."


    An Feng understood: "Is this an opportunity to buy more state-owned assets?"


    Matthew said: "This time the focus is on Italy. We plan to invest about 100 billion in the purchase of state-owned assets or its bonds to stabilize its economy. If the U.S. market starts, it will survive.��


    "That''s a lot of money!" An Feng said.


    Matthew was very annoyed: "We can only blame those **** speculators! We didn''t have to spend this money, and there are not many high-quality assets in Italy to choose from."


    An Feng said with a smile: "There are still many islands and palaces!"


    "It''s not funny, what''s the use of those islands?" Matthew shook his head, "We need to use the funds in more reasonable places, and take advantage of the opportunity to buy powerful private companies. Our profits are even bigger."


    "Maybe it''s useful..."


    "What do you mean?" Matthew didn''t understand.


    An Feng came back to his senses, he said: "I have an idea, I am interested in their islands, is Italy thinking about these recently?"


    "Of course, the current situation is different from that of the past. The European Union is too busy to take care of itself. Italy has sold all it can sell. Next week, it will auction high-end government buses. At the same time, it is considering the sale of some palace buildings and the sale of idle land. But you don''t have the world''s largest Is it a private island?"


    "No, no, no, I mean the bigger one." An Feng picked up the idea that had been accumulated in his mind for many years, and after refining it, he felt that it was very promising.


    "The bigger one?" Matthew couldn''t understand at all, "Could it be Sicily?"


    "I''m not familiar with Sicily, and I don''t like it either." An Feng shook his head, "I mean Sardinia, with beautiful scenery, like a quiet European town suitable for health preservation."


    "There is a hidden danger of riots there, and there are waves of opposition to the government. You should know it?"


    "So it''s an opportunity." An Feng said.


    "Slow down!" Matthew paused and stared at him: "Are you planning to buy the land, not just a private land?"


    An Feng nodded: "I have this idea."


    "too crazy!"


    An Feng smiled: "I think it is very creative. Recently, I am almost driven crazy by the policy of the United States. The British side even talked with me privately, allowing me to be naturalized, the government to give me tax incentives, and the royal family to give me hereditary inheritance." The title, the condition is that the Medical Association will not be moved, and An''s Industry will be relocated."


    Matthew''s world turned upside down: "Tell me you''re not joking?"


    An Feng said: "Of course not. This idea has been around for a long time, but there are no conditions and circumstances for its implementation."


    Matthew stepped back ten thousand steps and said, "Then how do you manage a country?"


    "I don''t have to worry about it. I don''t like intriguing politics. Besides, the life of the real power is very boring. I only like some privileges. It''s best if this platform can bring me many benefits, such as tax exemption, personal tax exemption and Corporate income tax and inheritance tax are not good, and if you give me diplomatic immunity at the head of state level, I will be exempted from inspection in any country I travel to in the future. How much benefit do you think?"


    Matthew muttered: "Tax exemption? Maybe it is really possible."


    Seeing his thoughtful expression, An Feng smiled: "Are you right? If I have economic privileges, I can put all the tax issues that everyone worries about, and I will provide you with national-level protection in the future and be protected by law. No one can investigate the reasonable tax avoidance behavior."


    "Great idea!" Matthew nodded, "I mean, I''m almost dizzy by your extravagant methods, you are the guy with the most daring ideas I have ever seen."


    "So I''m a genius." An Feng said proudly.


    ��


    This idea is based on many considerations.


    The end of the world is over, and An Feng has regained his spiritual freedom. He has so much money, so he should think about the future of himself and his descendants; second, he has too much money, the exposure will not be good, and the tax issue is also very annoying; Third, the consortium has to spend money on it anyway.


    An Feng has no sense of belonging to the United States, at best because it is the best wealth platform in the world��but he has been promoted to the top and aspires to the top. If it wasn''t for him, Joanna would prefer life in Europe, and her personality and temperament don''t match the colorful American culture.


    Considering the external conditions, there is indeed a possibility of riots in Sardinia. They are dissatisfied with the Italian government and want to leave to avoid the bankruptcy crisis, but the government obviously disagrees��and if someone pays a lot of money, they should turn Take out the hot potato.


    Also, the prestige of the An family members is high in Europe and even in the world.


    An Feng shared his thoughts with Joanna.


    She was surprised as expected. But after calming down, she didn''t object too much. Now there are a lot of troubles. Once the husband''s tax affairs are established as tax evasion, he may spend more than ten years in prison. Although the possibility is extremely low, women''s thinking is always easy to diverge. She Just worrying.


    An Feng said: "If there is the privilege I want, and you like it, I will consider it."


    Joanna said: "Based on the premise that all ideas can be realized, what kind of government do you plan to build?"


    An Feng thought about it, and then said: "How about the kingdom? Put you on the throne and become the queen admired by everyone, the supreme leader of the country."


    Why didn''t An Feng assume himself? There are many reasons, the main one is that he does not have this temperament, and the acceptance of the masses has to be considered. Although he is a hero of the whole people, he is not equal to a qualified monarch. And Joanna is known as a spiritual leader, with a good background and excellent leadership in disasters.


    Also, it is not appropriate for him to be the monarch of a group of white people.


    Even after appreciating An Feng''s consistent bold ideas, Joanna was still uneasy: "Do you feel that this is going backwards in history?"


    "Then you can''t buy the land anymore, so you can be an ordinary citizen with peace of mind?" An Feng said with a smile, "Besides, the constitutional monarchy is just a symbol. I mainly want to have a guarantee for our property, and then create a new life for our children and future generations. A better condition, in line with ideal."


    Joanna said: "You have to let me digest."


    "Don''t worry, it will take a lot of time to think and discuss." An Feng said.


    ��


    An Feng shared the idea of ??purchasing Sardinia with the core members of the consortium.


    Everyone was surprised, but it only lasted for a short period of time, because he was powerful in terms of financial resources and prestige. 100 million people know it, 3 billion people know it.


    Buying land and establishing a sovereign state seems to have no obstacles.


    The consortium is also planning to invest capital in Italy.


    Bazel asked directly: "How can you guarantee the will of the local people?"


    "Go and see for yourself." An Feng said, "The foundation has a lot of charitable activities, and it just so happens that there is a missionary school in Sardinia. We will go there in person and release the news quietly. If the public The support rate is very high, and the next step is to get the government."


    Austin said: "The local government can talk at the same time, and the political relationship we invested in should come in handy."


    An Feng nodded: "That''s not bad."


    Bazel continued: "For your decision, if you can get enough privileges and tax relief, it will be good for all of us, and you can concentrate assets on your side in the future, as a higher-than-offshore financial district level. high special area."


    The other core bosses all nodded, this is undoubtedly the new shelter.


    "However," Bazel said, "you also have to seriously consider running a country, even with the system you mentioned, but it will not be easy."


    An Feng is very confident: "As long as there is enough popular support, I can guarantee that there will be no problems with the economy and military."


    The economy is obvious to all. Not to mention small countries, even Italy, the strong assets of the consortium can make them a top developed country.


    But military? This is very doubtful. If you want to have the right to speak in the world, and if you want to ensure that the asylum privilege will not be interfered by other countries, the most important thing is to have a strong fist!


    They don''t think it is difficult for An Feng to buy the land and build a country, but this country must have the ability to protect their hidden assets.


    Regarding this, An Feng said: "Trust me, it''s like all the impossible events before!"


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 437： unprecedented prestige

    Chapter 437 Unprecedented prestige


    At this time, the four countries of the pigs are not very peaceful.


    Demonstrations erupted in several countries, notably Greece and Italy, against the actions of the government and the fears that had accumulated during the virus disaster, which now turned into an explosion of discontent. Especially government employees, who have just survived the disaster and now have no salary, it is no wonder they are not annoyed!


    The Italian government is very distressed and on the verge of bankruptcy. The situation is worse than the subprime mortgage crisis two decades ago. At that time, the European Union would lend a helping hand, and the IMF would also help, but now the world is in a busy post-disaster situation In the process of resuming work, finances are very tight.


    There is also a protest march in Sardinia, which seems to be expanding.


    The Italian government notified the Sardinian government to try to control the situation, because Sardinia is an autonomous region with a high degree of autonomy, and the local police obey the district governor. Unfortunately, Mancini said that due to financial problems, the current There are not many policemen anymore, and the policemen have sacrificed the most in disasters.


    Mancini''s attitude is very perfunctory... In fact, he is also dissatisfied.


    Because of the government��s series of failed measures during the disaster, they suffered heavy losses. Mancini��s nephew��s family died of SFV virus. If it wasn��t for Joanna��s timely treatment, he and his family would have been cremated. The place is buried for future generations to mourn the ending.


    So this dissatisfaction demonstration was acquiesced by the government.


    When there is a lot of dissatisfaction, you need to find a place to vent. Although the referendum is considered illegal, it does not prevent the people from being enthusiastic about discussions. There is even a discussion about selling yourself. First, it will ease the debt crisis in Italy. But they can also take the opportunity to escape.


    In fact, this is a problem that both parties can benefit from.


    It''s a pity that no one is interested in Sardinia. Even the Swiss government can''t take care of themselves. They are next to France. The virus mercilessly attacked this country that has been peaceful for more than a hundred years. The World War II did not affect them as a permanent neutral country. However, the virus killed them all.


    No one has the money to consider this business now.


    According to the inside story from Austin, the Italian government is considering selling Sardinia, and it is useless to keep it now. The local resistance is strong, and if they get weapons, they will fight for independence with arms. It is obviously better to solve the problem peacefully and get another sum of money.


    The Italians are also frightened by the bankruptcy crisis, and they cannot afford it in special times.


    ��


    Under such circumstances, An Feng and Joanna went to Italy in late July.


    The reason to the outside world is just a special aid event of the foundation, with locations all over Europe. Due to Mancini''s request, the heroic couple who made their debut after the disaster will decide to go to Sardinia to visit local church schools that need aid and participate in government organizations charity activities.


    The Italian authorities reminded them to pay attention to travel safety.


    Because the situation in Sardinia is indeed a bit delicate, the Italian government is absolutely unwilling to see any accidents encountered by this legendary couple in the local area, otherwise the whole world will throw bricks at them. In order to prevent, An Feng also brought a team of bodyguards and traveled with high standards.


    Milan transit, was chartered to use a private jet to the capital of Sardinia.


    The plane landed at Cagliari''s airport very quickly. The airport was very lively. The portholes were full of welcome crowds, surrounded by the red carpet and surrounded by cameras. It felt like the specifications of a foreign head of state visiting. This treatment It''s unusual, and it''s a spontaneous petition from the people.


    The reason is that a week ago, after the local government confirmed that An Feng and Joanna visited Cagliari, the residents voluntarily came to greet them out of gratitude, not only laying the red carpet, but also prepared a lot of flowers on the spot. Residents look forward to the sky, just as in the darkest hour, they look forward to the planes overhead, expecting them to drop the relief kits with the ANS logo printed on them.


    Bombardier Global-8000 turned around and came to the welcome area.


    The gangway had just opened, and the cheers of the crowd outside had already sounded. The stewardess stood sideways. Infected by this scene, she also straightened her back. When An Feng and Joanna appeared at the gangway, there was applause and cheers Together, they waved their hands and walked down the gangway.


    There are cameras and cheering crowds all around, and bodyguards follow around, ready to go.


    The Italian government��s reminder is correct, the local residents�� emotions are somewhat problematic��but the dissatisfaction is with the government, and the enthusiasm is with them. Infected by this enthusiasm, An Feng and Joanna deliberately slowed down their pace, looked at the crowd holding banners frequently, and nodded with a smile.


    Multiple cameras were aimed at them, and this specification was already visited by a foreign head of state.


    But everyone thinks it should be, for the hero who saved more than one million people, for the spiritual leader of their dark age, this kind of treatment is not too much. They stayed at the scene for five more minutes before getting on the car amidst the cheers of the crowd, and left the airport surrounded by crowds, with constant shouts behind them.


    Their prestige is unprecedented in the local area.


    Even because of their arrival, a rally in Cagliari was automatically canceled that day. No one needs to dissuade them. They need to make a good impression on the visitors and do not want to see the chaos after the disaster. They are willing to do what Joanna wished, Live peacefully and freely.


    Even the mayor of the district, Mancini, was surprised by the sudden improvement in order, and the restlessness of the crowd disappeared.


    ��


    After a break in the morning, charity activities will start in the afternoon.


    The inviting party is the Sardinian Religious Welfare Foundation, which is also assisted by the government. The Elizabeth Foundation is considering aiding the education of orphans in Cagliari. Through the complicated relationship, and An Feng also intends to test the word, the invitation came naturally.


    In order to welcome their arrival, the local welfare foundation made special preparations.


    Mrs. Mancini took the lead to greet.


    Mrs. Mancini looks to be in her fifties, with black hair and a lot of wrinkles on her face. Westerners always tend to look old, but she is still energetic. She enthusiastically shook hands with Joanna and An Feng, using a not-so-fluent An Feng also communicated with her in a little bit of Italian.


    "You are very welcome, Mr. and Mrs. An." Mrs. Mancini said.


    "You''re welcome, just do your best." Joanna said, just like her Protestant character, she was very indifferent to doing good.


    She smiled: "Then let''s go to the site for a visit first?"


    "Lead the way, please," Joanna said.


    Cagliari outside the car window is a simple and unsophisticated city, perhaps because of its early development. Like many cities in Italy or Europe, the streets are full of old buildings, reflecting the neoclassical style everywhere, with thick walls. Narrow windows, extensive use of masonry.


    The church building that needs to be rebuilt when the convoy arrives at the local area looks dilapidated on the outside, and the inside is the same. There are not many things left, and they are all dilapidated. However, the local people have deep feelings for the building. Even so, they will not tear it down and rebuild it. It''s about trying to fix it.


    This disaster has broken too many families, and the number of orphans has suddenly increased. The government is on the verge of bankruptcy, and there is no financial assistance. The only way to help build church schools is through charitable fundraising. This time they were very pleasantly surprised, because the chairman of the foundation came in person, which caused a sensation in the local area.


    People don''t go to work anymore, and want to come and see the real face for themselves.


    In fact, they are very satisfied. They are indeed the most attractive and best-dressed women who have been selected by the British media for many times. They have a good figure, elegant temperament, well-dressed, and infinite personal charm. Although the husband next to him is dressed in a suit , but the body looks good.


    Men and women are well matched, satisfying people''s imagination.


    Rather than visiting, it is more about talking to the people around her. Joanna looks a little aloof and doesn��t have much close contact, but it still fits their imagination. Afterwards, she decided to aid in the construction of five local church schools, so that all orphans could have a safe haven again.


    Her visit was broadcast on the evening news, with a lot of space and praise.


    There will be a charity banquet in the evening, local residents�� representatives and philanthropists will all attend, and Joanna can��t miss it naturally. She will also have a brief speech. If the conditions do not allow it, the media hope to have a live broadcast... This kind of enthusiasm, really What is irresistible.


    The next day, Austin Blueline and a group of consortium members arrived in a low-key manner.


    After the morning activities, they met with members of the consortium and used the afternoon to have some secret discussions with the Sardinian authorities. It is not known exactly what happened, but it may be more important. The concerned outside residents found that An Feng and Joanna stayed for an extra day for this.


    After that, they left.


    Many residents were curious about what was going on, but this time the government kept silent.


    More people became curious, and some people kept digging, wanting to get some secrets... Then, an anonymous person broke the news. He said that the government was discussing the sale of Sardinia, and the interested party was Joe Baroness Anna, she loves this place.


    As soon as the news came out, it immediately exploded on the Internet!


    The local government did not make any comment on this, but this silence represented tacit consent. Judging from the trend of discussions on the Internet, the local residents were indeed very interested��no, it should be very enthusiastic. They hoped that the Baroness could enter Sardinia Island, the establishment of a new sovereign state.


    If people were emotional when the news first came out, after they calmed down, some matters involving personal privacy were dug up. For example, the assets of the Ans couple, through a series of analysis, the research center belongs to them (now dismantled), followed by Ans Industries, Bida is also theirs, although it is not clear how much the shares are, but the financial strength , it is not impossible to buy an island.


    So now they are popular and wealthy, and they can do it.


    The vast majority of people agree with it with both hands. They have no doubt about Joanna''s leadership ability. Even if it is not her, Mr. An can consider it, but it is not suitable...Anyway, the proportion of approval is very high, except for a small number of diehards , Resolutely not allowed outside.


    There is a congressman who disagrees with this nonsense.


    As a result, the next day his house and car were spray-painted, with the words "Why didn''t the virus kill you!" Spit it out and complain why they didn''t die in this disaster...


    The congressman really provoked the anger of the public and hurt the most vulnerable place in the residents'' hearts.


    In the end, he had to apologize publicly, saying that his previous remarks were inappropriate. He, like everyone else, acknowledged the crucial role of the An family in this crisis, but politics cannot be driven by personal preferences... As a result, he once again attracted a lot of attention. There was a scolding battle, and the crowd of the assembly blocked the door of the house.


    The signs and banners read: We choose what we like, this is democracy!

 Chapter 438： The biggest pen in history

    Chapter 438 The biggest handwriting in history


    The recent farce in Sardinia is very eye-catching.


    The local residents want to sell themselves wholeheartedly, and the ideal recipient is Joanna, but the reason is unfounded��it stems from an unconfirmed guess. But this did not hinder the enthusiasm of the local residents. They set up a website and began to discuss things about the new country on it.


    You have to admire the people who carried forward the Renaissance. There is an unusual style of literature and art in their blood, and the decisions they make break the rules and break the common sense. The roadside agency analyzed that this is because the number of elderly people on the island has decreased significantly, while young people account for a large proportion.


    In a disease disaster, the old, the young, the sick, and the disabled are most likely to lose their lives. On the contrary, the young and strong have higher resistance. After a round of virus reshuffle, the local area is full of literary and artistic young people with forward thinking. And Joanna is the spiritual leader of the whole people, and countless people respect her.


    What are these people talking about? First of all, it is determined to be the "kingdom", because in their consideration, this piece of land needs to be bought from the Italian government, and the land ownership belongs to Joanna. The establishment of a constitutional monarchy, and she will become the queen, is a satisfactory solution for both parties.


    They also designed the national flag. In order to get rid of the connection with Italy, and refer to the historical Sardinian dynasty, they like to use the cross flag. As for the background color, it is still under discussion. Netizens came up with various plans, even foreign ones got involved, and they proclaimed themselves "honorary citizens" of the kingdom.


    To the outside world, this is completely an overly romantic fantasy.


    Because the dreams of the residents of Sardinia cannot even take the first step. First of all, Joanna has not made any public statement, and secondly, the Italian government has no attitude. The farce is likely to end in an oolong ending.


    Only a few people know that the plan has already begun.


    During the one-and-a-half-day discussion between the consortium and the Sardinian government, they got a positive answer. They really want to get out of the crisis, and they are also considering the establishment of a new country. It depends on how many benefits the new regime can bring. The promotion effect of future development and so on.


    Mancini is not too worried about economic issues. He is well aware of the strength of this group of international capitalists. An Feng also gave a guarantee that he will set up some competitive enterprises to promote the local economy. At present, it is mainly the attitude of the Italian government. If they veto it, nothing will happen.


    After An Feng returned to the United States, the matter over there also began to be discussed.


    Austin has a huge network of relationships. He has brought the two parties in conflict together for dialogue. The government headed by Mancini sat with the Italian government. That morning, thousands of people gathered at the gate of Rome''s parliament building to protest against the government''s policy of deception and heavy taxation.


    The explosion-proof police are on the alert. In this situation, the two sides started the first discussion since the conflict accumulated. The outside world does not know what the result was, but the reporter took pictures of the two sides shaking hands. The relationship seems to be pretty good. News It''s lively again.


    The two sides of the incident still remain silent.


    Anfeng in the United States received a reply from Mancini, and the Italian government is indeed considering it.


    Because the bankruptcy crisis is getting worse, the current national bond yield is about to exceed 9%, but the EU cannot help the four countries at once, and even some other small countries are also in crisis. At present, self-protection is more important, and Italy cannot keep it. I can only do something strange.


    Before actually drafting the bill, there is a second discussion.


    Mancini also said that if the negotiations are successful, matters concerning the new country will need to be established by a referendum. The interim parliament will draft a constitution and establish a series of new bills-this is not too difficult. The original Sardinia was A highly autonomous region with sound laws.


    The second discussion decided to proceed in five days.


    An Feng is also preparing. Once the discussion reaches an agreement, Italy will announce that the parliament will discuss the matter. Joanna also needs to make a statement. If both parties have intentions, the proposal will be submitted, and the parliament will vote to decide whether to sell it permanently. land to get out of debt.


    In Sardinia, Mancini, as the head of the autonomous region government, must also organize a referendum. If they are willing to sell the people and the land to Joanna, they will vote for it. If the affirmative vote exceeds two-thirds of the total number of votes, and the number of voters accounts for more than two-thirds of citizens with voting rights, the two conditions are met, and they must agree to leave the Italian government and form a new government freely.


    This is the first time for both An Feng and Joanna.


    He felt that he was a little too impulsive, but he was ready. The consortium, as a think tank, has given many plans. Regarding the issue of the kingdom, he also referred to the history of Europe. Various complicated things are being discussed, and even informally with some country leaders. discussed.


    Joanna is still confused, she asked An Feng: "Are you sure you want to do this?"


    An Feng asked back: "I just want to ask you, I hope to become a queen, let my children become princesses and princes, and then build a country that meets our ideals, live freely in that land, and use this wealth and Is the history preserved, passed down from generation to generation?"


    "This is too complicated." She frowned.


    An Feng looked at her: "Don''t think about anything else, I just ask, do you want to?"


    "Yes." She nodded.


    "That''s fine." An Feng said, "There is nothing that cannot be overcome. I have solved such a terrible disaster as the virus, haven''t I?"


    "Then you must always accompany me and support me." She said.


    "I will." An Feng opened his hand and embraced her, "I will create a better future for you and the children."


    She nodded: "I believe in you."


    ��


    The second discussion between Sardinia and Italy begins.


    The next day, both sides held a press conference. Italy decided to let the parliament discuss and make resolutions on the sale of the island. This move will benefit and reduce the huge debt of the government, get rid of the bankruptcy crisis, and the remaining funds will be used for various social constructions and lower taxes.


    Sardinia will hold a referendum ten days after the announcement to decide whether to sell the island to Joanna and establish a new country. At the same time, Joanna''s spokesperson officially stated that she will consider the terms of the transaction with the Italian government and start negotiations with it.


    All three parties have officially stated their positions, and the matter of selling the island is on the agenda.


    The decision caused a sensation, with news outlets all over the world rushing to report it. The matter is too important. It is rare for a country to decide to sell its land permanently, but it is not unprecedented. In history, Russia sold Alaska. What''s more important is that the buyer is the highly respected Joanna.


    To talk about selling the country, it is not enough to compare with Joanna''s decision.


    She is very popular now, and her every move attracts attention. Although there have been rumors about buying the island before, after it was officially confirmed, people suddenly realized that it was not a joke. When people all over the world regarded this as an after-dinner joke, it has now become a very possible fact.


    People pay close attention, and even residents of certain countries expressed their willingness to sell themselves and their land to Joanna.


    This actually caused a round of Internet craze.


    ��


    Due to the rarity of the matter, this agreement is three-sided. The people of Sardinia, the Italian government, and the three parties headed by Joanna are all discussing. As long as any party is not satisfied with the decision, the agreement will not be signed. There are still many items in the drafted rules.


    To give a simple example, Joanna reached a sales agreement with Italy, but Sardinia disagreed, so there was no way; Satisfied, Joanna is satisfied, Italy is not satisfied with the price, there is no way.


    The matter of price negotiation is at the bottom of the list. It has to be discussed and approved by the Italian government, and after the Sardinian people''s referendum is passed, the matter of buying and selling can be played. The consortium''s think tank will be in charge of this matter, and there are hundreds of lawyers hired alone, as well as various temporary experts.


    They need to analyze the situation in Sardinia, measure various conditions, resources, and geographical advantages, in order to come up with a reasonable price... There are about 500 people in this area. The consortium is taking this matter very seriously this time, and success or failure is also related to their future career.


    An Feng and Joanna are even more busy. There are too many things to deal with. Establish a good relationship in advance. Office workers are busy and tense.


    ��


    Finally, the Italian government officially decided to sell Sardinia at the right price. In the referendum in Sardinia, the number of voters reached 90%, and the number of people who voted for it reached 95%. It was passed with a very high support rate. After the two parallel conditions were reached, the sale and purchase negotiations began.


    Right now, the whole world is boiling.


    I didn''t expect the original joke, and now it''s about to come true! I didn''t expect the baroness to be so rich. The outside world estimated that Sardinia''s price was more than 300 billion U.S. dollars-the fact mercilessly smashed the rich list, and she easily surpassed the world''s richest man by a few blocks.


    Since August, consortium think tanks have been in contact with Italy.


    At the same time, the Sardinian government is also planning to reorganize, mainly in terms of political parties. The largest party wants to change its name to the "Liberal Party", and the second largest party is called the "People''s Party". Queen of Dynia" what kind of rights.


    Everyone knows that if she comes to be a restricted monarch, she will not agree. At least some special treatment must be given, but the bottom line cannot be crossed��democracy. What they want to establish is not a dictatorial monarchy. "Royal family" is their definition of private landowners.


    Negotiations are long and the world is watching closely.


    From mid-August to September, the specific results have not yet come out. The negotiation is more complicated than imagined, and there are many rules and regulations. It can be said that every decimal point is the struggle of both parties. And the third party, Sardinia, also has to establish the benefits it can get in the transaction.


    An Feng and Joanna have had a lot of social gatherings recently, including on behalf of individuals and on behalf of the country... There is good news and bad news. He will have to bleed for giving up his American citizenship, and Joanna will also have to give up his British citizenship. Things, can''t play dual nationality, she represents the kingdom.


    After a long wait, at the beginning of October, the negotiations ended with the satisfaction of all three parties.


    The final result is that the Ans couple invested 420 billion U.S. dollars to permanently purchase the land of Sardinia from the Italian government, and the Sardinian people will form their own country. Italy will respect all legal and democratic opinions and recognize that the other party has Sovereignty, establishment of diplomatic relations.


    In the "Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Responsibilities of States", it stipulates in detail the criteria that define whether a country is legal or not in international law. These criteria include: having a definite territory, having a permanent population, having a government, and Other sovereign states have diplomatic relations.


    The last point is particularly important. Many private countries satisfy the first few items, but if they do not have diplomatic relations with a sovereign state, they do not belong to a sovereign state. But this is the most important and also the most difficult one, and now it is easy. The contract stipulates that the Italian government must establish diplomatic relations with it.


    In the specific amount, 320 billion U.S. dollars belonging to Italy will be paid in two years; and the remaining 100 billion U.S. dollars will be paid to all 1.5 million citizens of Sardinia, which will be paid in three years. The money was the price Joanna had to pay for owning the land.


    The final confirmation of the transaction is set on October 30th. In the thick stack of contracts, the people of Sardinia and Joanna are the ones who can go back. The price was already set and could not be changed - a default of 5% would pay a liquidated damages, which the Italian government could not afford.


    In October, the Sardinian Parliament held frequent discussions. They will decide the nature of the new country and establish a parliamentary monarchy. The owner of the land is Elizabeth Joanna Circe Stanwell-Ann, Queen Stan of Sardinia Ville-Ann, 999-year land title.


    The main laws are also the most concerned by the consortium: the queen owns land ownership, and all overseas investment activities do not need to pay income tax and personal tax; domestic investment has income tax relief, personal tax relief, inheritance Tax exemptions and other privileges.


    The people give the queen the above privileges, and the queen should delegate power to the government accordingly. National taxation and land taxation are also completely managed by the government. The royal family has no right to intervene, but has the right to dismiss the prime minister and dissolve the parliament (too many rules). There are also the rights of the king (queen) to the country, their own obligations, etc.


    These main items are completely in line with the consideration of the consortium.


    Joanna wouldn''t sign the deal if it wasn''t the right fit. The people of Sardinia also know that with so many benefits from the queen, if they don''t give special treatment, fools will agree to the deal. More than 400 billion US dollars, enough to live in any place, why choose you?


    On the afternoon of October 30th, the three parties formally signed the agreement.


    This is the largest land transaction in history. It started with a very eye-catching start and ended with a result that shocked the world.


    In Sardinia, a new dynasty kicks off.

 Chapter 439： November 1st

    Chapter 439 November 1st


    Things finally come to a successful conclusion.


    The seemingly short time from the outside world, from the beginning of August to the end of October, determines the birth of a new sovereign, but for An Feng and Joanna, too much time and energy have been spent on preparations. They had discussed repeatedly before, listing the reasons why they could and could not do it.


    They also discussed frequently with the consortium to decide where the bottom line of the negotiation was, and they also consulted Bazel and other experienced people in society on how to consolidate authority and create a positive image��more specifically, how to control a government quietly. Just like they once affected America.


    They discussed it with their relatives and friends, especially Joanna''s mother. She supported her daughter in this decision. From her point of view, with Joanna''s current prestige, instead of staying ordinary, it would be better to spread her wings and soar into the sky... Their big help came from Kelly.


    There are also some relatives and friends who find it unbelievable, but they have no strong objection��if before the disease disaster, he would have received a lot of dissuasion and compliments, but now, this couple has reached the top of the legend, and as ordinary citizens, they really cannot support the savior and spirit The aura of the leader.


    Finally, they have to rush to study the etiquette necessary for the head of state. Although the monarch is symbolic, they are used for important occasions, foreign visits and other occasions. Former President Anderson specially taught them the tricks. The housekeeper Brandon also Specially prepared royal etiquette.


    After a series of complicated preparations, this day ushered in.


    The night before the agreement was signed, Joanna asked An Feng: "Do you think I can do well?"


    "Don''t worry, you will!" An Feng said, "Just like before you encouraged everyone to stand up and lead them to fight against the disease!"


    "Yes!" She said firmly.


    ��


    After the agreement on the 30th is signed, it will be officially announced at 0:00 on the 31st.


    All over the world heard this shocking news one after another, and countless media broadcast and commented on it, and everyone��s friends were stunned!


    Unparalleled generosity��the buyer is private! If it was a country, it would be surprising at best, but now it is a private purchase of a country!


    People read yesterday''s Forbes list, the richest man in the world has assets worth 80 billion U.S. dollars, some people think that the wealthiest person is more than that, and may have hundreds of billions of assets��and for the transaction amount of 420 billion, this stuff It''s cash!


    With hundreds of billions of assets, how much cash can you have? And 420 billion cash, how many assets are needed? Definitely have more than one trillion assets!


    Who is this man! Still let people live?


    Countless people all over the world have this kind of thought in their hearts, and they no longer have any idea of ??comparing and surpassing, which is simply impossible.


    From Europe to Asia, and from Asia to America... people are stunned.


    There was gossip on the Internet before, and people also guessed a little bit in reality. The assets of the An family may be very terrifying, but the imagination of the head is still not enough. No one dares to think about it. More than 100 million cash! Even if it''s not a one-time payment, it''s scary enough.


    China''s domestic media directly gave the headline: "Top rich people are now buying countries"!


    The popular discussion among the people is non-stop. Netizens think that their hero An is already invincible, and the whole universe can''t stop him from burning money.


    Some people even wrote comments about recognizing him as a godfather, looking for opportunities to hook up with his daughter, presenting chrysanthemums to his son, etc. They all marveled at this horrible wealth, showing off their wealth in any form in the past, posting deposits and Airplanes are all weak, and now people are showing the country!


    American society is also extremely shocked, but people''s emotions are obviously calmer, because too many miracles and successes have been staged in the United States, envy is inevitable, but it also proves that there is a chance to achieve the same success here, and then countless people squeeze their heads Come find the "American Dream".


    As for the U.S. government, it vaguely feels that they have made a fool of themselves.


    But it''s too late to do anything now, An Feng''s important assets are all in the name of Joanna, she is British��and she is about to become a monarch with absolute immunity. An Feng''s economic activities in the United States are all legal and reasonable, and he contributes a huge amount of taxes every year, so there is no way to investigate him.


    And with his network, even if you check it, you can''t go deep.


    It is certain that the world was in shock on this day. The legendary figure not long ago has now created an unsurpassable legend.


    ��


    The first day of November was established as the National Day of the Kingdom of Sardinia.


    They got up early in the morning, and at the local parliament building in Cagliari, Joanna watched the first meeting of the country as an uncrowned queen. The provisional government officially discussed and issued the new country��s constitution and the latest bills. Determine the foundation of the entire kingdom.


    The name of the country is the Kingdom of Sardinia; the system is a constitutional monarchy, specifically a parliamentary constitutional monarchy; the king (queen) is the head of state and the supreme commander of the armed forces, and the parliament represents the will of the people and is divided into two chambers, the Senate and the Parliament, to exercise legislative power ; The Prime Minister is the head of government.


    A lot of content, absorbing the characteristics of other constitutional monarchy countries.


    The national flag of the country is also established, with a white cross, a red background and a blue border. This aspect is greatly influenced by the Sardinian dynasty, but after all, it is an innovation on the original basis. The national anthem is currently established as "Long Live Sardinia".


    There are many more details, and the meeting lasted three and a half hours.


    All in all, the parliament gave An Feng the desired result, the monarch enjoys a lot of relief privileges, and these privileges also allow her to hand over the land rights, which belong to her in name in 999, and the actual manager is the national government , the queen has the right to supervise and advise.


    An Feng doesn''t care about land rights, and he doesn''t care about taxes. The most important thing is the overseas tax exemption. Several companies are registered in the offshore financial zone. The royal family holds the shares, and the members of the consortium participate in proportion. would be a scary number.


    The queen still has a lot of rights. The constitution clearly stipulates that she is a landowner, and she is only entrusted to the government to manage in exchange for corresponding privileges. Once the number is passed, the parliament is dissolved and elections are held. The newly elected two chambers approved the amendments and began to develop a new constitution. At the same time, a referendum was held to determine the result.


    It is very difficult to amend the constitution involving the rights of the queen. After the parliament proposes, the queen must dissolve the parliament and let the next new parliament decide, and a referendum must be passed. As long as the queen is not making a grave mistake��and the constitutional monarchy dictates that she is almost incapable of doing so��her rights are unlikely to be violated.


    Furthermore, An Feng has the help of a consortium of think tanks. The royal family controls the country''s major economic lifelines and at the same time controls the politicians. With two-pronged control, even the first step proposed by the parliament will be an impossible hypothesis��let alone the queen Angrily dissolved parliament.


    This law is actually considered to protect the rights of future generations.


    In addition to the privileges that Anfeng and the consortium most hope to grasp, the queen''s rights include: signing and promulgating laws; convening and dissolving parliament; nominating candidates for the prime minister, appointing the prime minister, and removing the prime minister according to the constitution; Member; publishes decrees passed by the Council of Ministers, confers civil and military titles, honors in accordance with constitutional provisions; hears reports on state affairs...


    These are also the same as the general parliamentary monarchy. Many people think that the king (queen) of the constitutional monarchy is a display. The Sword of Damocles hanging overhead.


    It is prudent that this kind of right cannot be used frequently, such as the Queen of England, but you cannot deny that she can use it��the only worry is that the prestige is not enough, which will make the public psychologically resistant. Under the premise of sufficient prestige, the queen can domineeringly exercise her privileges as the king of a country.


    But the concept of privilege is useless. In 1975, the Communist Party ordered the Governor-General to dismiss the Prime Minister of the Australian Government, dissolved the upper and lower houses, and fired everyone. A month later, the new government was in the Governor-General reorganized under supervision.


    (PS: Specific content Wikipedia ''1975 Australian Constitutional Crisis'')


    The standard rights of a constitutional monarchy, plus a little bit of land management in exchange for privileges that are not claimed, the nature of the kingdom is more inclined to a dual constitutional monarchy (dual monarchy has great rights), specifically the queen''s rights between parliamentary and dualist systems.


    The reason for this decision is that the royal family has too much influence.


    People all over the world respect them. Most of the residents of Sardinia were encouraged by Joanna and rescued by the antibody developed by An Feng at the darkest time of their lives. These two alone are enough to make everyone support them. There is a saying that it is difficult to remember the people who flatter you when you are in the sky, but when you are most lost and desperate, you will be grateful to those who give you a helping hand.


    In general, prestige gives the queen great power.


    The last item is closely related to the queen: the coronation ceremony. Because this is the first time that the country was founded, there is no previous example. Although the history of the monarchy of Sardinia can be traced back to the Sardinian Dynasty, or the earliest time when it was inhabited by the Phoenicians, this is not the same history.


    After considering various factors and the queen''s attitude, she decided to hold the coronation after October next year.


    The current conditions are not suitable, the queen does not have a palace, Cagliari does have some legacy palaces, but they are from the Garibaldi era, with a strong Catholic atmosphere, and Joanna is from the Anglican Church, although in An Feng''s view, they are all beliefs Same Lord, but it would be painful to convert her.


    However, Protestants on the island account for 40% of the population (fictional), which is on par with Catholicism. The coronation ceremony a year later can be held in a Protestant church. It doesn''t feel good, and everyone can understand religious issues.


    It was almost noon after the meeting.


    There were crowds of people on both sides of the street outside the parliament building. Countless residents gathered here spontaneously to celebrate and plan to see for themselves the real face of the queen they unanimously elected. Some people came to occupy their seats before dawn. An Feng arrived by car in the morning At that time, I thought it was a tent against demolition...


    When they were about to leave, the bodyguard informed them of the grand occasion outside.


    Joanna looked at An Feng, but An Feng''s face was calm, and she didn''t have any intention to speak. She was smart and immediately realized that she is now the real head of state and a noble queen. She said: "Communicate with the police to maintain order, I will appear in front of the people."


    "Yes." The bodyguard left immediately, and the sheriff waiting outside also received the news. He immediately issued an order, and the police stood in front of the crowd to maintain order.


    Soon, in the expectation of everyone, Joanna came out accompanied by her husband. She stood on the steps of the parliament, and the crowd around burst into cheers and applause. She raised her hand and waved. This action has gone through many times The training was very standard, An Feng glanced around.


    The street was crowded with people, and there was almost no room to put their feet. Joanna walked down the steps slowly and came to the crowd, smiling and waving amidst the cheers. A month ago, she had established her public image problem, less serious and more smiling.


    But the queen''s majesty still has to be there, and the degree of smile must be grasped. She practiced in front of the mirror for a while, and seeing the enthusiastic response of the people now, Queen Elizabeth, who cheered in broken English, knew that her efforts were not in vain. This image is very good.


    But the queen''s name is different.


    Her full name is: Elizabeth Joanna Circe Stanwell-Ann, consisting of her Christian name, two self-named names, and a combined surname. The combination of surnames was suggested by An Feng. He doesn''t mind the surnames of the child and the parents... but it is obviously more suitable to spell them together.


    Queen Elizabeth, in fact, this is the correct name in English. The Christian name is the most common in foreign countries, but Joanna prefers the name given by her parents, including the two children in the family who are also called by their first names instead of their Christian names. In the end, she decided on a unified address and called her own name.


    Correspondingly, the two children were also able to notify the public in writing that Claire Alice Kelly Stanwell-Ann is not Princess Claire but Princess Alice; Alexander Fred James. Stanwell-Ann is called Prince Fred.


    The order of English names has been messed up. Fortunately, it is Sardinia here, and what is even better is that she is the queen and she decides.


    Accompanying Joanna to walk forward, the surrounding crowd was enthusiastic, and they stretched out their hands, wanting to shake hands with Joanna, but she smiled and kept a certain distance from them. An Feng next to him was very low-key, but someone called his name, but the Italian pronunciation was very strange.


    And Joanna got the wrong name too...


    An Feng was thinking about whether to change his name to something that was easier to pronounce.


    According to European practice, he is the queen''s husband, and he will generally be awarded the title of "Duke". News should never be random.

 Chapter 440： Popularity

    Chapter 440 Popularity Power


    At noon, the TV station broadcast the grand occasion.


    This day is designated as National Day, and the whole country is on holiday. From the time the queen walked out of the parliament building, countless people cheered and applauded. Her close contact with the crowd ignited everyone''s enthusiasm. People saw their queen''s demeanor with their own eyes and shouted long live.


    Joanna has a temperament in her gestures. Her good background allows her to quickly control the respected role, and her appropriate behaviors and occasional smiles make everyone feel that this decision is correct. As a spiritual leader, she Has a special charm.


    After staying outside for ten minutes, Joanna bid farewell to the crowd... Maybe it should be called her people now, and left amidst cheers from the aisle. The convoy came to the local resort hotel, where their temporary residence was, and the bigwigs of the consortium were also waiting patiently.


    What they waited for was good news.


    The parliament has passed legislation to establish the privileges that the royal family can have. It is the same as the previous negotiation, and even gave more lenient treatment. Domestic enterprises also enjoy a ten-year zero-tax discount, but Joanna gave up. decided to apply the same tax rate.


    This move is very popular and harmless to the consortium.


    After the vehicle stopped at the hotel entrance, everyone came to greet them and warmly congratulate them. This is not only a happy event for the An family, but also a great event for the consortium to stabilize assets and reduce tax burdens, so this is also a win-win result. , they have prepared drinks to celebrate.


    Matthew raised his glass: "Let us all salute Joanna! For a memorable moment!"


    Bazel corrected: "It should be Her Majesty the Queen!"


    "Your-Majesty!" Fronson greeted.


    The others smiled and raised their glasses together: "For the Queen of Sardinia!"


    Everyone cheered and sat down to enjoy the celebration feast. All the important members of the consortium were present this time. As a successful and influential wedding event, they were worth getting together to celebrate, and in a sense, this place began to become a sanctuary for the consortium.


    According to their negotiation, the company is registered in the offshore financial zone in the name of the royal family, and then some high-profit companies under the consortium are transferred to the following, and then the complex proportional distribution is carried out. The management department of the offshore company is set up in Sardinia. Can communicate effectively.


    The tax burden in the place of business is inevitable, but the second and third heavy taxes are skipped directly. If it is the gray transaction behavior of offshore companies, it is even more amazing! After complex calculations, this move can avoid at least about 15% of taxes, and the consortium flows trillions of funds every year.


    The result is that the trillions of dollars of funds will be effectively protected to avoid hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes, and the control of funds will be firmer. The royal family''s overseas investment can be kept as privacy, not transparent and not open, not to mention investigations. Not even the information will be disclosed.


    Bazel said: "After the royal family''s offshore company has applied for the establishment, we will proceed to the next step of the strategy, transferring high-quality assets from the United States and concentrating them in this place, creating signs of capital outflow, affecting the overall economy of the United States, and further Work hard in Europe."


    "Is it on the right track?" An Feng asked, he has no time to care about other things these days.


    Bazel nodded: "I paid a lot of money, but I can finally recover the loss. In addition to your unexpected surprise here, I may get more."


    "Congratulations!" An Feng said.


    Matthew asked him: "Have you considered how to dispose of your assets in the United States?"


    An Feng said: "Bit by bit, I need to consolidate my prestige in the local area and promote it both tangible and intangible. The public''s respect for the royal family may last for decades, and I will start with the lifelines of the major economies and control them. Even the royal family If you lose your prestige, you cannot be shaken."


    Austin agreed: "Your idea is very good. Relying solely on prestige has its ups and downs. When you control the national economy, let them enjoy and understand these benefits. Even if you want to Step down, and all the people will not allow you to leave."


    An Feng smiled: "Thank you!"


    Bazel said: "The reason is the same as in the United States, we will help you as much as possible."


    In fact, it is similar to the previous king of Thailand. Although he is not in charge of the government, he controls a lot of the country''s economy. He is dissatisfied with the government and will not express his position, but he has a spokesperson to do it for him. Thailand''s coup d''��tat has long been a joke. Seen through by the people of the world.

    In the afternoon, Joanna received the acting prime minister, the speaker and some ministers.


    They discuss state affairs, and there is time for the general election. Now it is a transitional government, which follows the autonomous region government in all aspects. It does not yet have the complete structure of a country, and there are issues such as economy and law, which need to be understood by the queen and can only be implemented after she agrees.


    The Queen''s consent, although it was just a formality, is all affirmative. But now it is the founding of the country, and everything is going to waste. With the prestige of the queen and the wealth of the royal family, even if she does not express her attitude, others will take the initiative to let her know and listen to her opinions. Her influence on the country was profound.


    The future economic development of Sardinia needs the royal family and its complex relationship to promote it.


    This is also the reason why the Sardinian government agreed to sell. They not only consider the opinions of the public, but also consider the future economic development. According to the data of the previous year, Sardinia��s GDP is about 50 billion US dollars, and the per capita is close to 30,000 US dollars ( Population at the time), the main economy is agriculture, mining and tourism.


    The foundation is very weak, but if there are large international companies to enter, among other things, a branch of Beda will enter, guaranteeing a yearly GDP of hundreds of billions, tax revenues will also bring tens of billions to the government, and provide thousands of jobs , and then drive other industrial chains... a bright future is very easy.


    So they not only respect the queen in their hearts, but also have to please her in terms of interests.


    In the evening, Joanna invited the acting prime minister, high-ranking officials, and party representatives to the dinner, attended by bigwigs from all walks of life��without the presence of Queen Joanna, it would be difficult for them to get in touch with these people, or even the lower-level people of these people. The eyes are also big guys.


    Therefore, the level of the banquet was very high, and the chancellors listened to the investment ideas of the consortium bosses almost in the form of nodding. Austin wanted to take advantage of the low tax here to establish an investment company. Although the operating location was in New York, the amount of funds The operation is issued here, which is more economical.


    Matthew also has plans to set up a pharmaceutical processing enterprise, facing Europe. Considering the resources and transportation on the island, the pharmaceutical factory only deals with high-end products, and the low-end ones take into account the cost, and the consumption cost on the island is relatively high��so only high-end products can guarantee profits.


    An Feng also brought a lot of gifts. He wants to move the biology and environmental research department and consider the combination. And Anshi Industry has also relocated. The future Anshi Industry will involve the military industry and the nuclear industry, and at the same time bring considerable economic benefits. Nuclear power and seawater desalination cannot be ignored.


    Maserati''s European division will also be transferred if necessary.


    This series of focused care measures is enough to change Sardinia''s current single economic model and become a typical example of diversified outbreaks. It is no problem to revive the economy. In the foreseeable near future, they will become the richest country per capita on earth, bar none.


    ��


    The next day, the friends of the consortium began to disperse.


    An Feng still has to stay. The beginning of a country''s construction cannot be separated from their participation.


    The interim prime minister of the country is in charge of the current urgent diplomatic affairs. They are legal sovereign states only if they are recognized by sovereign states. Mancini planned to visit Italy two days later to formally establish diplomatic relations. Establish diplomatic relations with them.


    The queen does not make any foreign visits and reception requirements for the time being.


    Because she has not been crowned yet, she has not been granted rights and established her responsibilities by God. It is not good to say that the tradition of monarchy is bestowed by the gods. Like China, the emperor is the son of heaven. ? Fortunately, Joanna''s Protestantism is very enlightened.


    Although she has no foreign visits and reception tasks, she has many domestic activities.


    For the newly changed state system, a constitutional monarchy has never appeared in this land. Although there was a monarchy before, it was of a different nature. image in the minds of the people.


    Sardinia is not big, but it also has 24,090 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the area of ??four SH cities in China. It is divided into eight administrative regions. The longest span from north to south is 284 kilometers, and the longest span from east to west is 142 kilometers. It has 1.5 million voluntary voters. become residents of her people. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.


    Different from the compromise between the people and the monarch in history to form a constitutional monarchy, the Queen does not get much benefit from Sardinia, but brings them hope. The most important factor affecting the people''s choice is: she saves them in the darkest moment. More than one million lives were reborn.


    All those who have experienced that disaster regard it as a new life given by God, and turn to Joanna, who made the decision to aid, as a savior sent by God, and classify herself as her people, which is not a compromise , but an honor. Even when she decided to become the queen of Sardinia, people in other countries were sad, they thought Joanna was for the world, not just for a certain country.


    The itinerary of the visit is expected to take a week, from south to north, around the island. Accompanying her was the Duke of Cagliari��that is, Anfeng. You can also call him Prince Alessio, the Italian name is just drawn, a bit of a symbol of the defender. From now on, he has two forms of name, one is "An Feng" in Chinese, and the other is "Alessio-Bruce Ann" which is a chaotic combination of foreign languages.


    His titles are also messed up. The queen has not yet been crowned, so he cannot confer the title of monarch on him, but there are more than a dozen titles proposed at present, and the princes and sons are lined up all the way. According to Joanna''s opinion, the titles can be properly passed on to his children and future generations. , so store more points, less than a dozen.


    According to Joanna, the title world record is a Spanish Duchess Silva, who has nearly 200 titles... more than the former Queen of England, from the southernmost tip of Spain to the northernmost tip, you can step on your feet her land. They are still insignificant.


    It''s a mess, but he doesn''t care anymore, because the gang also changed the name "Joanna" to "Giovanna", and there is no "J" in Italian, so Joanna is converted to the Italian form of Giovanna, It''s not sure whether to call her Queen-Joanna or Regina-Giovanna.


    The problem of appellation is very troublesome. This country speaks Italian, and besides Italian, there are some incomprehensible dialects... Later, Joanna��s opinion was passed through the parliament, and the official language of this country was determined to be Italian and English. Public The occasion sign is bilingual.


    When they visited around the island, the problem of appellation became more and more serious. Some closed areas called her Giovanna, and some areas called her Joanna with a blunt accent. Some were more comfortable and spoke English directly, so that the frowning brows of their Queen''s Majesty finally eased. Come and capture it for the photographer.


    After this, a wave of pronunciation was formed on the local network.


    This small act also proves her popularity. People are willing to make these changes for her. The cohesion of the whole country is connected because of her. Every place I visit is crowded with people. The most stressful thing is The police and the bodyguards, people''s emotions are really hot.

 Chapter 441： new journey

    Chapter 441 New Journey


    A few days later, Prime Minister Mancini''s diplomatic visit was very successful.


    Because this is a land transaction without the slightest armed conflict, the Italian government permanently sold an autonomous region that was already full of contradictions to them at a high price. It was opposed at first, but when the people learned that the government was bankrupt and they were even worse, their attitude was 180 degrees. Big shift.


    It''s really hard to live without pasta.


    The successful foreign visit marks that the Kingdom of Sardinia has been officially recognized by the international community, and there is one more sovereign country in the world that was built with money. After the establishment of diplomatic relations with Italy, other countries sent congratulatory messages. Italy, which sells its land, doesn''t mind. What opinions can other countries have?


    The Queen of Sardinia has a special status. The Ans and his wife saved the whole world in the disaster, and they are remembered by everyone. Even though the government considers political factors, the people support them. In the end, they obeyed the public opinion, congratulated and sent a message Invitation, ready to establish diplomatic relations.


    In the days to come, both the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister are very busy.


    They didn''t expect the effect to be so good��abandoning the point of view of politicians and analyzing it from the perspective of public opinion, they will know how many people in the world are grateful to the Anns, just like the residents of Sardinia, The enthusiasm in other regions is not weak.


    Assuming Joanna wants to buy other land, the residents will be happy to sell themselves.


    Because the benefits are just like the money-burning style of the previous Liverpool boss, it makes people drool with envy!


    According to the amount they paid for the purchase of the island, this year they will spend 200 billion U.S. dollars, of which 160 billion will be given to the Italian government, which is enough to alleviate their bankruptcy crisis, and the remaining 40 billion will be shared by all the people. $26,000 per person.


    A family of three is almost $80,000, and there is another 60 billion in the future! In the total welfare payment, each person can get an average of 66,000 U.S. dollars. Based on the standard of a family of three, even if they don��t work in the next three years, nearly 200,000 U.S. dollars will be included in the account. Compared with the local per capita GDP, they will not give in.


    For lazy Italians, nothing could be better.


    Under the effect of throwing money like this, even if there is no prestige, it can still burn prestige.


    In addition to paying for the purchase of the island, the royal family also purchased two billion dollars in government bonds and provided one billion dollars in interest-free loans. Three billion dollars is enough to restore the government''s vitality. After all, its structure is very simple, and previous financial allocations have not been 30 With so many billions, the current funds are very abundant.


    An Feng also really experienced... the long-lost feeling of being short of money!


    His funds are definitely not enough. He only raised 60 billion in cash and hoarded 50 billion in gold. He spent 80 billion equivalent US dollars this time, and the remaining 120 billion will be borne by the consortium. He has to pay it back slowly��but no one is worried that he will not be able to pay it back. The annual turnover of Bida alone exceeds 5 trillion yuan.


    Now An Feng is full of motivation to make money, honestly, he no longer dares to brag about how much money he has.


    ��


    After a week around the island, the Queen''s parade came to an end.


    They flew back to the United States, and Joanna��s entry was a bit illegal��because she had already renounced her green card in the United States, her British citizenship, and the two countries had not yet established diplomatic relations. Only An Feng was still holding the diplomat status of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, and the plane was allowed to enter the United States without any trouble.


    They threw a big party at their house in Santa Barbara.


    A large number of relatives and friends arrived. During the 15 days when they were away, the children missed them very much, and so did their friends. News reports scrolled on TV and the Internet. The topic has never stopped.


    Everyone held a celebration party in the main banquet hall, and the more purpose was to meet the queen who was a hot topic.


    Joanna appeared in a black dress, handling the guests with ease.


    Different from Joanna who needs to pay attention to identity and speech, His Royal Highness is very casual. Holding a wine glass, he cooks up a big pot of friends and chats together. All domestic **** friends came, Wang Le was also present, and friends from abroad, such as Roger, Anthony, Gu Li, etc., also followed him.


    "What are you looking at?" An Feng wondered at their eyes.


    "What title is it now?" Wu Chao asked curiously, and so did the others.


    "Let me see." An Feng took out a small note from his pocket, and everyone laughed.


    Anthony said: "You are sorry for the status of the prince."


    "I don''t want to, but now there are dozens of titles." An Feng looked at the small note, "Two dukes, seven earls, fifteen viscounts, twenty barons..."


    Roger thinks ahead: "Considering selling one?"


    "Let''s talk about your naturalization." An Feng said, "Make some contributions to society, and I''ll ask Joanna to grant you a title later."


    "It''s too difficult." They were disappointed, naturalization is not easy, because Sardinia does not regard itself as a country of immigrants.


    They believe that if the country is strong enough, it will definitely be able to attract elites, rather than simply needing population.


    Xiang Yang was full of admiration: "Now you are the best man in the world!"


    An Feng said: "Isn''t it the whole of China before?"


    Xiang Yang shook his head: "Now you are the savior and the prince''s again. I almost feel like I don''t know you."


    An Feng smiled: "Try to get used to it, people can''t help themselves in the rivers and lakes."


    ��


    On the second day after the party, I had a picnic with my family in the afternoon.


    The topic is mostly about future plans. In front of his family, An Feng confessed: "I was really impulsive at first, and I wanted to do something special."


    Frank nodded: "It''s special enough."


    Others agree, but are more resilient given past performance.


    Joanna said: "I still can''t adapt to my role."


    "I believe in you, you will be outstanding." An Feng said, "I plan to build a country that meets my ideals and can recuperate. The United States is a good platform. It helps me grow, but now it is about to limit my take-off. , I can only look for freer lands."


    Kelly praised it very much: "This is something only a brave man will do, and you have succeeded!"


    "Thank you." An Feng smiled.


    An Feng''s brother-in-law asked, "When are you going to move there?"


    An Feng said: "I still have to come and go here frequently, and it will take a year at the earliest before I can settle down. You are welcome to visit me then."


    Xiaoyu was very excited: "I''m going to watch the ceremony, I''m really looking forward to the queen''s coronation!"


    An Feng''s mother was also interested: "This is the first time I''ve heard of this, old man, let''s take a look while we''re still healthy?"


    Dad nodded: "That''s for sure. It''s unreasonable for us to be absent for such an important event, but the rules over there are unclear, so I''m afraid we have to learn."


    Kelly nodded: "Sardinia is indeed different from the United States, but don''t worry, we can learn together about etiquette and customs."


    Everyone is very enthusiastic about this matter, and the discussions continue.


    An Feng''s moving plan has to start, and there are two main types: cooperative and private.


    The consortium will be responsible for coordinating the relocation of the enterprise, and they have a good grasp of the details. The method of tax inversion can effectively merge and split the enterprise, and reduce taxes and fees. The remaining thing to worry about is that the company that he personally holds has to be transferred if he has a relatively large personal connection.


    An��s Industries and Robotics are purely engaged in research and development, so it��s okay to move away; Aegis is not moving, and he doesn��t plan to move its headquarters; it��s more appropriate for Ocean Shipping to stay in the local area, but it can set up a branch in Europe to operate The luxury cruise business in the Mediterranean.


    Starry Space Exploration Company is also staying. The conditions of private aviation in the United States are better, and the technology has been handed over, so it doesn��t make much sense to move the rest. Deeper research and development must be in Anfeng''s base camp. He wants to build a prosperous country with economy and technology.


    Relocation also means saying goodbye to familiar surroundings.


    Many of An Feng��s friends are in the United States. If he is going to Europe, there is no banquet that lasts forever. He has to dismantle part of his own private team and keep only the core. Many of his business colleagues, the "primary school students" who taught him a lesson, may also have to say goodbye.


    The topic of parting is always a bit sad. He is about to bid farewell to a familiar land and go to a strange country. Just like when he first came to the United States, everything will be strange, and he will start a new journey there. The difference is that everyone in that country will know him well and respect him.


    ��


    Joanna is also very busy. She has to learn royal etiquette and strictly regulate her words and deeds. Every facial expression in public has to be given meaning, but given her education, these are easy to master; she also has to learn Italian, and the basics of French help.


    In addition, her requirements for fashion designers are also increasing, she has to reflect the style of a queen, and balance between decency and elegance. She decided not to imitate anyone, and to go out of her own style. She is not too old, she is thirty-six years old, and there is no need to avoid her own advantages.


    An Feng is relatively relaxed in this respect. He has already mastered a lot of Italian, which is not very different from the local accent. As long as he wants to, he can miraculously "copy" other people''s accent. Once, an instinctive imprint can be formed.


    Wait until December, when they set off with their two children.


    Alice is now eight years old, but her lively personality remains unchanged. Her mother taught her how to be a qualified princess on the plane. The little girl listened carefully, because she knew that her life had already overlapped with a fairy tale. Be a real princess.


    Fred is simple, he is only three years old, and he doesn''t need to master too much.


    The plane landed at Cagliari Airport, and a special car was taken to the local hotel that had been booked out for a long time. The government specially set aside a palace for the Queen during the Sardinian Dynasty, but she didn''t like it very much. Before the new palace was built, Think of it only as a venue for occasional guests.


    In addition to the arrival of the royal family this time, there are many contracts.


    At present, the companies confirmed to be stationed include the famous Anshi Industry, Robotics Company, the biological department of the research center, the Elizabeth Foundation, the Medical Association, the Superconductor Company, GP Company, Beta Company, Xin Pharmaceutical Company, Western Investment Group, Maserati, etc. A range of businesses.


    Among them, Ans Industry and Robot Company moved their headquarters, and the rest are branches.


    The specific investment time has not yet been determined, it will take some time to prepare. But there is no doubt that this is a great gift that makes all countries drool, and it also indirectly shows the ability of the royal family. Without their relationship, these enterprises would not be related to Sardinia at all.


    Some people predicted that Sardinia might develop explosively in the future.


    An Feng who got the list was also very pleasantly surprised.


    He saw the names of some familiar persons in charge on the list.


    Assistant John leads a small group of teams, and plans to register a company that manages funds for the royal family. He is not at ease with An Feng''s financial management; Military vocational training.


    Donna Roberts knew that Joanna could not find a suitable speaker, and she knew French, English, and was willing to serve the Queen. Although Mr. Brandon was old, he was worried that their lives would be a mess, so he had to insist on training for the last The batch of attendants that meet the requirements of the royal family...


    An Feng��s friends, Matthew, Bazel, and Austin all plan to buy real estate in the local area, and they will come here occasionally. This is a resort for leisure and vacation. Roger was thinking about the knighthood, and asked if the donation could be exchanged for an earl...Wang Le discussed with him about buying land and building a vineyard...


    An Feng had just set foot on this land when his group of friends followed him over to join in the fun.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 442： landlord problem

    Chapter 442 Landlord''s problem


    From December to January next year, they have to live here.


    The country has just been established, and the government is still provisional. Although the queen is not in charge, she has no less affairs than the prime minister. She has to listen to the opinions of the parliament, choose a suitable time for parliamentary elections, and sign the laws of the provisional government , are currently laying the foundation of the kingdom.


    Brandon brought a few volunteer attendants from the United States. After a tour of the local area, he decided to use the palace allocated by the government. Joanna''s reluctance is one thing. In case there are any foreign guests, it is impossible to hold it in the hotel. It''s just that the size of the palace is small, it is located in the downtown area, and it used to be a scenic spot.


    The task of the stewards is to familiarize everyone with the new rhythm. In the future, they will take care of the royal family with stricter rules. Everything they do may affect the face of the royal family. They must be strict to every detail... Brandon Twenty-four hours with a straight face.


    In addition to learning Italian every day and communicating with An Feng, Joanna also has to memorize the map of the country, at least know the name, capital and main source of income of each region... In her words, it��s a good thing Only 24,000 square kilometers.


    An Feng is also studying with her, providing motivation.


    But his memory is enviable, he has read it all once, and he can almost recite the names of every city in Sardinia, including some officials. Then Joanna used the queen''s rights to designate that he must accompany him to every official occasion during this time.


    So Alice asked her father, "Is it because you want to listen to your mother?"


    An Feng sighed: "Yes."


    The little girl jumped up, mumbling something.


    An Feng convinced her. The little girl was full of doubts. She kept trying to determine whether it was her father or her mother. She probably got the result now.


    Alice continued to ask: "Can Dad take us out to play today?"


    "I''m afraid I don''t have time today." An Feng shook his head, "I still have to choose some land with your mother to build our future house."


    "Could it be a big house?" Alice asked.


    "Yes." An Feng nodded.


    "Can you keep ponies and tigers?" Alice asked.


    "Of course." An Feng said.


    "Can I go swimming with Fred and go fishing together?" Alice''s sentence lengthened.


    "Yes." An Feng nodded.


    "Yes��" Alice was about to say, but An Feng interrupted her: "Little girl, I promise, I will refer to your opinion when the time comes, okay?"


    "Okay." She nodded sharply.


    "Take good care of my brother." An Feng said to her, in fact, don''t play too crazy, pay attention to your image, you are a little princess and a little prince.


    "I will." Alice put her arms around her younger brother, and Fred waved to him: "Goodbye, Dad."


    "Goodbye, children!" An Feng also waved his hand.


    ��


    The government provided a helicopter. An Feng, Joanna, officials from the local land department, and Ms. Roberts, who also served as assistant and spokesperson, boarded the plane together. They are going to take a trip around the island in the air, and at the same time, it is an opportunity to choose a house construction location and learn about urban planning.


    As the royal family, there must be a dedicated palace. Considering the nature of business and private, there must be more than one. The accompanying officials brought good news that the Queen, as a landowner, still has land that has not been used by private individuals or the government, and still belongs to her free disposal.


    According to statistics from relevant departments, there is currently a national park, a forest that belongs to her, some forest land and residential land, several islands that have not been developed, land that has been developed but not contracted... a total of about 1,200 square meters km or so.


    1,200 square kilometers, accounting for about 5% of the country''s land area, exceeding An Feng''s expectations.


    According to their interests, the plane inspected the land privately owned by the royal family, but it turned out that there were not many places that could be used. Areas like parks must be difficult to develop, and the flat and good terrain have already been occupied. The thousand or two square kilometers, Only one in ten is favored.


    But it is also 140 square kilometers, which is equivalent to 35,000 acres, which is not bad.


    After returning from the circle, I began to consider the land issue.


    First of all, it is a representative palace, because it will be used as a place to receive foreign dignitaries and hold state banquets, just like Buckingham Palace, which is the Queen''s office. Therefore, the selected location must be near the capital Cagliari, and the land department recommended a land with an area of ??about 350 acres.


    It is surrounded by vineyards and the terrain is open. In the agricultural economy of Sardinia, the wine industry occupies a certain proportion. This place is also a vineyard. It is ten kilometers away from the capital, and the scenery is also very good. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but Can also take care of administrative work.


    And it is quite in line with Chinese Feng Shui, facing the sea and backing the mountains, the terrain is about 30 meters higher than the city center, which belongs to the gradual upward trend. Standing there, you can look at the blue ocean more than ten kilometers away. The back is still leaning against the 400-meter-high mountain.


    After listening to a bunch of introductions from officials, Joanna asked: "Is it not used here?"


    Ms. Roberts translated, and the official replied: "This area is not a high-quality grape-growing area, and the business is mostly for commercial purposes. Since that terrible disaster, the wine industry has been seriously affected. Many residents are facing bankruptcy. Sell ??the land."


    "Can you provide an approximate figure?" Joanna asked.


    "My honor, Your Majesty the Queen." He said respectfully, "According to the purchase price of the land, it is estimated to be about 12 million euros."


    After listening to Roberts'' translation, Joanna asked An Feng: "What do you think?"


    An Feng nodded: "Here it is, the location is quite good, this land is mainly for face-saving projects."


    "Okay." Joanna agreed.


    There is no need to worry about architectural design. The government will look for top architects and tend to the Baroque style. In terms of this style, the Italians are definitely the strongest, because it emerged crazily during the Renaissance, and the masters are naturally also in Italy. on the architect.


    After finishing the selection of face-saving projects, there must be a more private palace next.


    Here, there is no need to take care of administrative convenience, only private considerations. According to Joanna''s thinking, she hopes to be quieter, with better scenery and a view of the sea. It is best to have a private beach, because after becoming a queen, it is obviously no longer appropriate to appear on a public beach.


    I didn��t observe carefully in the air, and after the plane landed, I changed cars to travel.


    After accepting official recommendations and on-the-spot investigations, they determined that they were on the eastern coast of Cagliari, an area about 50 kilometers away from the capital. The town, with few residents, lives peacefully.


    Joanna likes this tranquility and peace, which can adjust her mood.


    When An Feng came into contact with Sardinia, he also felt that the pace of life of the local residents was very leisurely.


    They are indifferent by nature, they are not fanatical about big names, and they are also used to seeing many celebrities. This is also the place where its scenery is not as famous as Sicily, but it is favored by royal dignitaries and celebrities. Here, they will not be treated specially, and they can enjoy an ordinary and peaceful life with peace of mind.


    But the queen is definitely different from foreign tourists, and it is impossible to ignore them. Mostly out of respect, she didn''t take the initiative to bother... This is all a later story. Anfeng saw a good one, about 80 acres, flat grassland, close to the sea, with a 200-meter-long coastline, and a yacht dock.


    The only pity is that although the development is not complete, there are already buildings.


    But soon, the surprise came.


    The officials of the land department told them that the foreign rich man in this land died in France due to SFV virus. According to the management method of unowned land, it belongs to the queen. That is to say, from now on, they can own the good land that the rich man spent more than 20 million to renovate without spending a penny.


    In the end, they decided to take these two pieces of land.


    One is located in the capital, which is a prestige project. It must be built majesticly, fully reflecting the style of the royal family, and it also represents the face of a country; the other is more inclined to private use, indifferent and quiet, a bit of a summer resort meaning.


    For the two buildings, Cagliari has already confirmed the architect. This was recommended by the government, and the architect readily agreed. The architect has a great background and a good reputation. He originally planned to retire, but thanks to the contribution of the An family , decided to do it again, and condensed his efforts.


    An Feng naturally has no objection to this, but they need to worry about St. Elmo''s palace.


    Finally, he approached Teresa, the designer who originally designed the Santa Barbara mansion for them. Her last masterpiece satisfied the couple. After living in it for seven years, they already had feelings and hoped to continue the original fresh style. Teresa also readily agreed to this.


    Finally, considering the construction time, it is a headache.


    There is no four or five years that cannot be done, but the Queen''s coronation is imminent, and it is unreasonable not to have a real palace in the future... Finally, An Feng came up with a bold plan: use a three-dimensional printer. He will use modern methods to build an ancient style palace.


    With Ans Industrial''s technology, they can print airplanes without any problem, let alone buildings?


    Through the precise control of supercomputers and the processing of ultra-high-resolution nozzles, I am afraid that even the age can be forged. Moreover, this is their territory, and An Feng doesn''t have to worry about the government wanting to regulate and control it after the super technology comes out, after all, they are the landlords.


    The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and he shared his ideas with Joanna.


    "The precision of computer control is unmatched even by top architects, and the three-dimensional printing is from the inside to the outside, and its manufacturing effect will be more perfect. If necessary, even the history of the building can be forged. The only shortcoming is , requires the designer to deal with a lot of details.��


    Joanna said: "Then you need to discuss it with the designer."


    An Feng nodded: "That''s right."


    They talked with the designer about the idea. Surprisingly, he is also looking forward to this idea, but for the sake of caution, the designer''s hard work cannot be wasted, and a sample must be made first. If it is suitable, he will do more details. Work, perfect input into the computer.


    An Feng is not worried about the effect, these machines were used to print robots before.


    If high-tech can be used in an all-round way, the construction time will be greatly shortened, and after some later manual processing, it may be completed within a year or two. In the future, a magnificent palace will magically stand on this land, as a symbol of modern technology and ancient art. connect.

 Chapter 443： Great Construction (Part 1)

    Chapter 443 Intense Construction (Part 1)


    After the housing problem is settled, other matters will continue.


    Now not only the government is busy, but the queen is also busy, and the duke is equally busy... The most relaxed people in the whole country are probably the residents. They have received a large amount of subsidies from the royal family this year, and they are comfortable enough to spend this warm Christmas. People are also praising the royal family.


    The royal family is currently considering state affairs, specifically politics and military affairs.


    The political issue remains the same for the time being. Acting Prime Minister Mancini still did a good job. He respects Joanna very much. During the disaster, because of her decision, he saved their family. He is very grateful and also wholeheartedly serves the royal family. , Allegiance to the Queen''s Advocate.


    And the military... it should be said where the military is.


    The current military power of the country is zero, and there are more than 500 police employees. It can be used as an autonomous region, but as a country, it must have military power. What''s more, when the country is strong in the future, there will definitely be various problems, it may be jealous of the outside world, and politics may need military support.


    But now it is naked.


    This is also the reason why Gu Li took the initiative to help after knowing the facts. He was not only dissatisfied with the lack of military power, but also sneered at the Italian soldiers. An Feng also knew very well the capabilities of the Italian soldiers. During World War II, they professionally dragged Germany down. The Allied forces came and fired a few shots. They surrendered collectively...


    There are too many weird rumors, and they were once joked by netizens as being responsible for making jokes.


    Considering the issue of national defense, An Feng decided to call in the robot.


    He is rectifying the robot base. All the ones in Asia have been cancelled, and the ones in South America are also closed. Currently, only the ones in Africa and North America are kept. Because one is not easy to dismantle and the other is too easy to use, they are all kept. For the rest he''s going to bring robots and machines from Algeria, and Australia.


    Algeria is very convenient, the distance between the two places is five to six hundred kilometers, and the flight can be done in half an hour.


    But he is not a soldier, and the royal family cannot intervene in the military. Arrangements in this regard still have to be approved by the prime minister. In fact, it is just going through the motions. According to the constitution, the royal family can have a special service team of no more than 100 people, which can also be called the Guards, with conventional armed forces.


    Boeing transport aircraft transported the dismantled goods to Sardinia in batches.


    The place of landing is chosen at the military airport near the capital of Cagliari - Dezimomanu. It used to be the air base of Italy and NATO, where fighter jets bombed Libya and airstrikes ISIS, but now it has been completely evacuated, leaving only empty shells.


    The current Dezimomanu base belongs to the royal family. Anfeng leased the land including the airport to Anshi Industries and Robotics. The conditions here are much better than those in Africa. It is a standard military airport with complete facilities and a three-kilometer-long airstrip.


    Ann''s Industries and Robotics is a perfect place to settle here.


    After the plane lands, the goods are unloaded, and all the machines are transported to the warehouse. Ammunition was stored here, which is strong and safe, and Eve began to remotely control the robot to self-assemble, and the assembled robot then assisted the others, proceeding quickly and orderly.


    This scene is blatant, but the air force base has always been highly confidential. Now it is a private area of ??the company, and outsiders are also not allowed to enter. I am afraid that only the satellites above the head can see what is going on below, but An Feng doesn''t care, just look at it, here again Not America.


    Even if he is seen or photographed, An Feng is not worried. What does the robot company do? These machines are obviously commercial machines that have not yet undergone simulation skinning! Who can identify them as armed robots? As long as it doesn''t scare people on the street, it''s easy to explain.


    After five consecutive shipments of goods, the base was basically emptied.


    Eve counted and found that the number of robots is about 2,000. They are harmless to humans and animals on the surface, but they can fight with weapons. Yes, it''s just not very public.


    ��


    Robots are only reserved as a hole card. The problem is that the country must have military leadership.


    Military, who should I choose?


    He doesn''t have much confidence in the graduates from the Italian military academy. Although he knows that no matter how bad they are, there will be strong generals, and short people can still choose generals, but he doesn''t like to bet. He hopes that there will be someone who can trust and listen to his opinions��if Choose one at random, what''s the use of not being a bird queen in the future?


    An Feng was troubled by this problem for a long time.


    One day when he was reviewing the police force, he suddenly had a target.


    "Guri. Savvadyevich Korotayev!" An Feng sat on a chair in the office, reading Guli''s full name with a serious face.


    Gu Li thought he had encountered something important, so he sat upright.


    An Feng said: "My friend, I need your help."


    "Please tell me, I will try my best." Gu Li said.


    "Are you interested in becoming a general?"


    "What?" Gu Li didn''t understand, "What do you mean?"


    An Feng explained: "I mean, are you interested in taking charge of an army that may be weak and may have a small number, and be their general?"


    Guri realized after a quick brainstorm that Sardinia��s national defense and army are indeed a headache. There are only more than one million people in the area, and not many have received military training, let alone officer training. Maybe there is, but I can''t find it yet. A country cannot be short of an army for a long time.


    An Feng said: "I really need help, and I really can''t find anyone I can trust."


    Gu Li is difficult to do: "But I am about to decide to naturalize in the United States. Liana and the children live there..."


    "Do you really like the American environment?" An Feng began to induce, "There are a bunch of manic cowboys over there, full of nasty big-nation chauvinism, and school shootings everywhere! Americans are so cunning, Americans are in debt Tired, Americans can''t last long..."


    Guri smiled: "I know it''s not good, but don''t you exaggerate?"


    An Feng continued: "Look here, it''s quiet and peaceful. When you drive out, you can see the scenery everywhere. It has the demure and beauty of a small European town. It has beautiful sea views and beaches, and you can spend your days leisurely. We will sign visa-free agreements with European countries in the future. After that, how convenient it is to travel!"


    "You have to let me think carefully." Guri said.


    "And," An Feng leaned forward, emphasizing: "It is very close to Russia, this is Europe, and you are also a European!"


    "The United States is closer to Russia." Gu Li said weakly, "Alaska and the Far East."


    "Please! Dude!" An Feng frowned, "You know I need an outstanding soldier like you! And I have always trusted you unconditionally!"


    Guri sighed: "I''ll talk to Liana sometime."


    "I''ll give you the fastest passport!" An Feng promised, "How about providing a house with a beautiful seaside view and a piece of vineyard or orchard?"


    Gu Li smiled wryly: "I will try my best to fight for it!"


    An Feng stood up, opened his arms and hugged him: "Dude, I knew I could trust you!"


    Guri hugged him. He softened his attitude more because of what An Feng did for him back then, and he has always remembered this affection clearly.


    ��


    Basically settle Guli''s affairs, and then have a special talk with the Prime Minister, special treatment in special times, so that Guli can be naturalized quickly, and it should not be difficult to fabricate information about his military academies. Then give a rank of colonel to lead the human army in Sardinia to support the scene.


    The army is naturally supporting the scene, and An Feng focuses on the defense of the robot.


    Because people will be afraid, fear, pain, and fatigue, but robots will not, they will never tire, just to execute orders.


    The military problem is solved, and then he has to deal with basic matters. Electricity and water conservancy are the key. Electricity is not very abundant in Sardinia. Thermal power generation can be carried out on the island, but the efficiency of polluting air is low, and it is used in many places. GP''s solar technology.


    Sardinia and even Italy are short of electricity. Their demand for electricity imports is very large. As an island surrounded by the sea, Sardinia has always been in short supply of electricity resources. They have engaged in submarine cables and the Apennine Peninsula (Italy ) connection, unfortunately the electricity cost is high.


    Just looking at the solar panels all over the island, you know that electricity is a headache.


    But now, An Feng will solve it once and for all.


    Clean nuclear energy is the main project of Angus Industries. It has cooperated with the United States, mainly to provide theories, and they do not intervene in matters related to miniaturized thermonuclear reactors. Americans can now achieve controllable nuclear fusion, but the factories are very large, the efficiency of extracting nuclear materials from seawater is not high, and the cost is very high...


    Like Anfeng''s small-volume and high-efficiency reactor in Tanzania, it is the only one in the world.


    He decided to set up a national power company, controlled by the royal family, and gave the government a small share as a financial subsidy for the government. The location of the nuclear power plant is preferably near the sea, so that it is convenient to extract raw materials, and the transportation must be convenient. Considering the mood of the residents, sparsely populated areas are the most suitable.


    Referring to the government''s information, he aimed at a peninsula in the southwest, connected to the country, extending two or three kilometers away, with no residents around, and the land was barren, but flat... This is prepared for a nuclear power plant. Based on the current population, a 200 A nuclear power plant with a generating capacity of 10,000 kilowatt-hours is sufficient.


    But with this amount of power generation, the word "nuclear fusion" is too underestimated.


    Based on the mature technology mastered by Ans Industry, Anfeng will build a 10 million kwh nuclear power plant with an estimated investment of about 10 billion US dollars. It will use a large number of high-efficiency robots and it will be completed within two years. At that time, it will be no problem to supply electricity to residents and industries across the country.


    And there will definitely be a surplus, and the rest will be resold to Italy through submarine cables.


    Power problem solved! Anfeng re-invested in a national water conservancy company, specializing in seawater desalination projects. It is expected to build four to five large-scale seawater desalination plants. The goal is to make it affordable for residents across the country to maintain swimming pools, and some of them can meet drinking water standards. .


    At present, this is the business of Green Earth Company, and by the way, it can also provide some environmental services. Although there are many plants on the island, it lacks tall trees. At the same time, some green grasslands are laid...Green Earth Company is best at these, and it can completely transform this place. into heaven.


    Finally, Anfeng decided to restart the research and development of high-tech agricultural fertilizers.


    Now the world''s fertilizer giant is Mosaic Corporation. Anfeng''s company share transfer fee expired a few years ago, and he has no salary. According to his black-bellied attitude, he should continue to launch it, but there was a time... a lot of money Too many to count, and no time to care about earning more money.


    Now that he is short of money, his dark plan must continue.


    Oristano, located in the western coastal area of ??the country, has the most extensive and fertile plain on the island, and is an important producer of grain and vegetables. If Anfeng can double the production, the country will be completely self-sufficient in grain in the future, even The surplus can also be exported to earn foreign exchange.


    Therefore, a national agricultural technology company must also be established.


    After this series of generous spending, even if Joanna is not the queen, the An family who holds the lifeline of the country and the future is still very important to Sardinia, whether it is out of respect or awe of the monopoly giants, the prestige of the royal family will be difficult to overtake.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 444： Great Construction (Part 2)

    Chapter 444 Intensify Construction (Part 2)


    A week later, Guli''s reply came.


    He promised to be naturalized in Sardinia and contribute to the construction of the royal family. All the good conditions that An Feng promised him before will be fulfilled one by one. In fact, the conditions are fine, they are friends, An Feng doesn''t care about money, he only hopes to attract trustworthy people.


    Before Christmas, Gu Li said to An Feng: "I''ll go back first and arrange things in the United States. I will come back after the New Year."


    An Feng asked: "How is Liana''s attitude?"


    Guri said: "She agreed after thinking about it for two days. It''s not bad to live in another place. It''s quite leisurely here."


    An Feng said: "Tell me my thanks for her open-minded attitude. In addition, if you choose to come to this place, you will not regret it in the future."


    Gu Li nodded: "I know, you can tell what will be extraordinary in the future just by looking at your actions."


    Guri��s naturalization issue is specially approved by the Prime Minister��the Immigration Bureau has not yet been established, and the Prime Minister has to wear multiple hats. Many departments will not be established until after the New Year. After the main departments are completed, the queen will approve the formation of a formal Sardinian government and hold a referendum for parliamentary elections.


    If nothing else, the ruling party will also be the Liberal Party, which is the party represented by Mancini. Because Mancini was the mayor of Sardinia before, he has a high prestige, and the Liberal Party he leads is also a political party that actively promotes a constitutional monarchy, and voters favor them.


    Depending on how the current government works, the Queen may approve a general election in June.


    There are only more than one million residents, so it is meaningless to make things complicated. Both the Senate and the House of Representatives will use the simplest voting method to vote. As for the election methods of other constitutional monarchy countries, a formal parliament is required to discuss. It could be a simplified House and a Senate nominee by district.


    ��


    Christmas is just around the corner, and the Queen is still busy.


    An Feng accompanied her and the officials to visit the Port of Cagliari, which is the largest port in the country and one of the largest ports in the Mediterranean Sea. It has two port areas and thirteen berths. The largest terminal can accommodate 300,000-ton oil tankers. It can load and unload cargo day and night.


    Officials introduced the characteristics and capabilities of the port in detail.


    Joanna attaches great importance to this port. Sardinia is not connected to the European continent. The most frequent way of freight is definitely by ship. Air freight is more expensive and is generally used for high-value goods, such as Anfeng��s robots, or robots launched by robot companies. products, etc.


    "The port is an independent island with a huge area and many places that can be transformed. As a large commercial port, it is fully capable of taking on greater handling tasks..." The official in charge of the shipping department introduced it in detail. He knew that the royal family not only understood, but also investment options.


    At present, there are more than a dozen major investments that may be obtained, all of which are related to the royal family. Coupled with the obvious title of the richest couple in the world, they can change the entire country and improve their living standards. important attitudes and decisions.


    After the on-site visit, An Feng found that the port can be expanded, and even if the trade is frequent in the future, it can still be transformed through transformation. As a commodity trading center, the capital has the advantages of seaports and airports, and will play a key role in future development.


    He decided to invest in the construction of an agricultural technology company in the industrial area near the seaport, specifically research and produce high-tech fertilizers, aiming at the world''s agricultural fertilizer giants, and using the port''s huge throughput capacity to transport goods to the world will also promote economic growth. develop.


    After establishing several Southern investments, he researched others.


    An Feng did not concentrate everything in one place. He wanted to take care of every region and stimulate the economy on a larger scale. At present, the advantages of the southern region are sufficient. Anshi Industry, fertilizer company, nuclear power industry, and seawater desalination are all here, and the rest is in the north.


    Sassari in the north also has an industrial port, which mostly involves the export of local minerals. Sardinia is also rich in mineral resources, with the largest reserves of zinc ore. After An Feng considered it, he planned to set up Bida branch, factory and raw material manufacturing plant in the Sassari area.


    The local economy is relatively simple, resource export and tourism, Sassari, as the second largest city, has to make full use of its human resource advantages. Considering the cost economy, this place is responsible for the production of high-end and customized beverages, and the low-end and mid-end beverages are more suitable for developing countries.


    The production cost of Sardinia must be high, so it is best to develop a small-volume, high-value commodity economy. It is to take the high-end route. Only in this way can the profit of the product be worth the cost. If low-end products are produced, the profits will not be large, which is why Anfeng is very picky.


    The upside is that premium and custom beverages are in high demand, especially after disasters.


    Most of Europe is a developed country with a population of 900 million and a consumer group of about 700 million, among which the number of high-end consumers and above is more than 7 million. After the branch company and factory area are completed, it will provide a large number of jobs and drive the local economic chain, which will have a far-reaching impact.


    The Sardinian government gives a corporate income tax rate of 22%, and then implements a policy of reducing or exempting foreign companies. The actual tax rate is only about 18%, which has attracted many large companies, such as the wealthy Xin Pharmaceutical Company, which wants to sell high-end anti-corrosion products. A factory for cancer drugs was established here.


    With the arrival of giants, Sassari''s economy will become complicated and stable.


    ��


    After the north and south ends are balanced, let''s consider the problems of the west and east.


    In the west of Sardinia, from the two provinces of Oristano and Medio-Campidano, Oristano has a vast Capitano plain, where a large number of grains, vegetables and fruits are grown. An Feng is optimistic about agriculture Economy, and Mideo is about the same, it involves a part of the wine industry.


    The Capitano Plain will be an area that benefits from the country''s agricultural technology. This area of ??land must fully supply the food, vegetables and fruit consumption of the entire island. At present, it is not difficult. After adding special-effect agricultural fertilizers, the leftovers can be doubled and exported.


    Or after the country''s population has risen to five million, choose to digest it internally.


    Anfeng also considers strengthening the internal economy and cannot rely too much on the export economy. Although the advantages are great, if the national economy is to be stable, it must be driven both internally and externally. When the external is affected by international influences, even if the market is not good, the internal strength can still be maintained. the good functioning of the country.


    The province of Medio-Campidano is also connected to the plain, and the wine industry is relatively developed. It is connected to the province of Cagliari. Anfeng is considering building an aerospace company in that plain. , The aerospace industry is still pretty good for burning money.


    An Feng asked the Ministry of Land and Resources to help him choose flat but cheap land for future use.


    Next, His Excellency the Duke turned his attention to eastern Sardinia.


    There is no flat terrain in the west in the east. The top of the northeast is the province of Olbia-Tampio. Among the two duke titles of Anfeng, one is the Duke of Cagliari and the other is the Duke of Olbia. The local area is a tourist attraction, with famous beaches, and a peaceful place favored by celebrities.


    The local area is also a region with a developed wine industry. It has the only DOCG-level grape-growing area in Sardinia. When it belongs to Italy, DOCG means top quality land. Very rare, the local Vermentino (white grape variety )very famous.


    An Feng considers promoting tourism, and then wants to set up a winery.


    In the provinces of Nuoro and Oriastra, there are not many flat terrains, and there are many mountains. It is worth mentioning that there are also many mineral resources, such as lignite, fluorite, bauxite, copper and iron. According to capital Due to the consistent urgency of socialist countries, An Feng is going to ask the queen to propose to reduce the amount of mining.


    If you don��t develop your own home, you go to other people��s home to ask for cheap resources... That��s how sustainable development comes about.


    In addition to natural resources, the only thing Anfeng can think of is forestry resources. To put it bluntly, it is to plant trees on the mountains. Anyway, there are a lot of trees in that area, so I specially plant some improved varieties that can be used as precious wooden furniture.


    The situation is very optimistic. Many of the queen''s disposable lands are concentrated here.


    An Feng decided that the next major task of Green Earth Company is to plant trees! After more than ten years, the towering trees can be harvested, and some precious trees, such as huanghuali, are worth a million. Even if you don''t cut them down, it''s not bad to let them emit oxygen every day and purify the air.


    Further down...no more, and the next step is the province of Cagliari.


    In the past few days, he took a car to see many places, and he was impressed not only by the country''s complete internal organs, but also by its road system. Although it is an isolated island, it is a developed country after all. The number and quality of roads are worthy of its identity, and the trails are also dense.


    Ci Anfeng asked the driver to drive on a small road surrounded by grass and trees, with vineyards and flat fields on both sides. The car drove slowly on the flat road, surrounded by empty and deserted people, very artistic conception of European small roads. Calm down to experience, away from the hustle and bustle, let people feel free.


    The suburbs of Europe are indeed a good choice for recuperation.


    After returning to Cagliari, An Feng handed over his ideas along the way to his assistant, John brought a part of the team, but he went back at Christmas��like Guli, An Feng whispered in his ear, stay, How nice and quiet it is here... As a result, he was also thinking about it.


    An Feng felt that he was a bit good at deceiving people.


    Another assistant of An Feng got his complicated ideas, and then helped him sort out his thoughts and communicate with government officials. This is the privilege of being a prince, and it is also the privilege of the largest investor. No matter which one it is, it is enough for the government to treat him like a grandfather.


    An Feng''s ideas have been adopted, and there are better suggestions for some plans.


    The government is naturally happy. With so much investment in Anfeng, there is no 50 to 60 billion yuan to deal with. With reference to the possible economic benefits in the future-the bold ambitions mentioned earlier, Sardinia has become the richest country in the world per capita. , definitely not as a joke.


    An Feng��s investment has taken into account every region of the country as much as possible. He specially selects high-value projects. Obviously, considering the local labor and resource costs, many small-sized, high-value, and highly competitive projects have been invested. And companies like GP are not considered for the time being.


    Superconductor Company is not listed as a plan, An Feng still has to think about it.


    With so much investment in Sardinia, it is enough to become a highly developed country. It may not be good for the remaining companies to move here. The platform of the United States is still very strong��it is just that it is suitable for enterprises, and it is no longer suitable for Anfeng. With his strength, the company will not be affected at all.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 445： Queens Speech

    Chapter 445 The Queen''s Speech


    After being busy for several days, An Feng finally ushered in a free time.


    Christmas is approaching and Joanna still has a lot of work to do, but she has learned the attitude of the locals, work to hell! Focus on your family. She is a family-oriented person who cares about the feelings of her husband and children. During these days, she was training, maintaining the majesty of the queen, and somewhat ignoring them.


    Their family went north and came to live in a private area of ??the island.


    In addition to a large-scale leisure area for business use, the island also has a specially designated private area. All entertainment facilities are available, surrounded by green trees, and one side is covered by mountains. It is isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, and you can relax and lie down place to rest.


    Joanna spent this Christmas with her family, five attendants and a housekeeper.


    She is still very kind to others. She can call every servant by name and understand her personality. Everyone also likes this dignified and noble lady-now she has to change her name to "Her Majesty the Queen"-the address emphasizes respect, which is also Brandon''s key rectification project.


    They celebrated the festival together on the island. Before sharing food, An Feng came to speak a few words, and then enjoyed delicious turkey... The way of celebrating the festival is a bit of a British-American combination, and it is also full of Protestant atmosphere. But when it comes to Italian Catholic Christmas, there is still a little difference.


    Catholic Christmas emphasizes special respect for the Virgin Mary, but Protestantism��Martin Luther was created to break away from and mock Catholicism. Protestantism has denied the Virgin Mary, and many sects have denied it, thinking that it is just an ordinary woman, disrespectful Maria.


    It would be embarrassing if the Queen of Sardinia had a very different religious attitude than some of the island''s residents, but as it happens, Joanna belongs to the Anglican Church (Anglican), which is the Anglican Church, and is dealing with the issue of Mary On the other hand, he also maintained a respectful attitude.


    But Her Majesty the Queen doesn''t care about this at the moment. After Christmas, she is soaking up the sun on the lawn in the yard. The two children are chasing the pet dog on the grass. , Have a hazy dream.


    ��


    Leisure time will soon pass.


    Residents were a bit disappointed that the Queen of Christmas did not appear on TV. As much as the Queen is a novelty to the country, residents want to know how she feels about it and what they want for the future. Then national television announced that the Queen would give her speech at 18 o''clock on New Year''s Eve.


    Two days before the new year, Joanna was drafting.


    Considering language differences, the speech was not broadcast live. The TV station first recorded the video and added Italian subtitles before broadcasting it on time. Even so, Joanna has to practice many times, and she hopes that her public appearance in the new year will bring a new side.


    An Feng brought his two children to support him.


    In addition, he also practiced some Italian with Joanna, who will leave "easter eggs" in the speech.


    New Year''s Eve, eighteen o''clock.


    The national TV station started a special New Year''s Eve, and at 18:00, the Queen''s New Year''s speech was broadcast on time. Joanna appeared in front of the audience, sitting behind a desk, and was photographed from the upper body, wearing a custom burgundy gown, dressed in style with fashion in mind.


    After all, she is still young, and since she decided to step out of her own style, she has not learned the seriousness of other monarchs. On the basis of reflecting the majesty of a monarch, her costume designer has added a lot of embellishments to show her personal charm. The red theme is very Fit for New Year''s celebration.


    Her iconic blond hair, curled up to reveal her face, has an independent and decisive temperament, and some accessories are properly embellished... Although she couldn''t stand up and walk around in front of the camera, the public was already very satisfied. Their The queen is definitely the most temperamental and beautiful in the world.


    A lot of viewers watching in front of the TV love her style.


    He paused for a few seconds at the beginning, followed by Joanna''s vermilion lips, and said in a standard aristocratic accent: "For all of us, the past year has been a time of darkness and despair, accompanied by moments of light and hope. God bless, We beat disaster and we won."


    "The new year is approaching, and I feel terrified. I see the whole country, people of every age, choosing me and trusting me. This expectation puts a heavy responsibility on my government''s shoulders and tests the ability of a young government to govern. Can it promote the prosperity and prosperity of the country..."


    The queen''s speech is specially written by someone. On the one hand, it is to congratulate the New Year, and on the other hand, it is to determine the general plan of the government next year, the main direction of implementation, and the expectation of the new government-the relationship between the monarch and the government must be put aside here. Decisions are implemented by the government.


    The queen only wants to achieve what effect it can achieve. It is a good thing for the government to achieve it. It has not failed the trust of the queen, and it is the responsibility of the government if it fails to do so. No matter what the outcome is, the queen will be respected, and when the people are dissatisfied, they will always blame the politicians who do nothing.


    The constitutional monarchy is quite interesting. The tone of Joanna''s speech reflects the majesty everywhere. She frequently uses "my government" and "my people", which undoubtedly emphasizes the country''s system and demonstrates the authority of the monarch. A strong representative of a country.


    She also hopes that this strength can affect the residents.


    At the end she gave New Year''s wishes, then switched to Italian to repeat the wishes.


    The wish paragraph is not long, four or five sentences, but the Italian behind it is undoubtedly a gift to all the people, indicating that the queen is also accepting and loves the culture here-if the royal family is always high and excludes them, the respect of the people will be fades slowly.


    Now she uses the Italian speech, which makes the people feel very warm.


    Most of the residents stayed in front of the TV and computer that night, listening to the Queen''s speech. The last part of her speech won applause.


    There is no doubt that this televised speech was a great success.


    In a big way, running a country is somewhat similar to the entertainment industry. It needs exposure and publicity from time to time to stabilize popularity and win the hearts of the people. Whether it is a monarch, a politician, or a star, it is impossible to stay away from the public eye, because such people need popularity.


    The difference is that the royal family is serious and has the firm belief of the people, while the stars are mostly joking.


    ��


    Joanna''s New Year''s speech pointed the way for the country.


    In a way, her speech was a rallying cry for, and a preview of, the government''s actions this year.


    She focused on the issue of economy and employment. With the strong promotion of the consortium, the economy is not a big problem. But employment made An Feng a little confused.


    Although it is now called the Kingdom of Sardinia, it cannot be denied that they were still Italians a few months ago��they typically don��t want to work and only want to play, but also get a high salary, and take to the streets to protest��they are very skilled in the process. An Feng is worried about having a job, but they are not active.


    In the part of the Queen''s speech, there are a few lines of appeal.


    She also hopes that everyone can spend more time on family finances on the basis of the original romance.


    According to subsequent investigations, the effect is not bad. Due to geographical issues and history, Sardinia does not have much communication with the Italian mainland. The western region is greatly influenced by Spain, because it was once controlled by Spain, and then transferred to Austria and France one after another. Multi-national cultures have influenced it.


    But Italy, Spain, and France are not much better. They all have a lazy personality. The only thing that makes An Feng happy is that, unlike Italy or Spain, where thieves are common, the residents here are simple in nature, and petty theft is rare. Security is the best in all of Italy.


    An Feng hopes that in the future immigration policy, we will absorb more hard-working countries, such as Germany, or attract some Asians to come over and let them learn about China''s hard work. Maybe they will try to become stronger, or they will complain about Chinese immigrants like Yankees took their jobs.


    This is very tricky and requires official guidance and positive publicity.


    Out of the consideration of his own ethnicity, An Feng certainly hopes that there will be more faces of his compatriots on the island, but he has to distinguish between good and bad, because the quality of some people...is really not good. The Latin nation is not good either, to put it bluntly, the thief nation... too many German immigrants are not good, too rigid and unenthusiastic.


    An Feng has very high expectations for the country. Now that the population is small, appropriate immigration policies and mutual influence can promote the formation of a good atmosphere. The royal family needs to pay close attention to this step of immigration and cannot proceed blindly. An ideal country, a perfect habitat, this is their dream.


    ��


    Joanna''s speech was also spread on the Internet.


    Many people pay attention to her whereabouts. Apart from loving her, there is another attitude among the crowd: they still cannot accept the fact that Joanna has become queen. Because it feels like she''s been taken from her, but it''s a done deal, no matter how much you don''t accept it, it''s the truth.


    Abandoning the position of the country and simply admiring her, it can be seen from several public appearances that she well embodies the identity of a monarch, which makes people feel as if she was born this way. Her training was not in vain, but there was also a reason for her solid foundation.


    By interpreting the Queen''s speech, you can also understand the future policy attitude.


    The establishment of Sardinia has been stabilized, and 1.5 million people firmly support the queen. With reference to the economic capabilities of the An family, the country will usher in a period of vigorous development. Because the government privately revealed that some international large companies will settle here.


    Business matters are closely linked and drive each other.


    For example, when Anfeng established Anshi Industry, there is only one company in a narrow sense, but what about the raw material channels of Anshi Industry? This requires a large number of factories that provide raw materials, and there is more than one; secondly, what about the export of products from Anshi Industries? This requires a strong transportation company.


    There are still many fields that drive each other. If the economy of Sardinia soars, it means that the demand for commodities will also rise. If investors can seize the opportunity and stand under the big tree to enjoy the shade, they can make considerable profits. After all The giants also have to rely on a bunch of grassroots younger brothers to support them.

 Chapter 446： coast guard

    Chapter 446 Coast Guard


    After the Queen''s New Year''s Speech, the new year came, and Cagliari specially held a grand fireworks display ceremony to celebrate the kingdom''s first New Year. The firing site is on the coast. The spacious streets on both sides of the original city hall were full of people and lively that night.


    An Feng and Joanna also watched the fireworks ceremony at the castle of St. Remy in the distance. They said it was a castle, but in fact it was more of a huge open-air platform on a high place. Standing on it, you can overlook Cagliari and the distant The coast is a good choice for viewing.


    They dispatched in a low-key manner, but the extraordinary lineup was still recognized by the watching crowd.


    The bodyguards and the police are on standby, always following around the Queen''s family. Considering safety, they had to leave after a short stay, but they also allowed the audience to get in close contact with her. They also heard her New Year greetings in Italian, and the crowd cheered constantly.


    Sometimes it��s not good to be too popular, you will be recognized wherever you go. Alice complained that she only watched the fireworks for a few minutes. In order to make up for her, they asked the car to drive slowly along the coastal road, and let Alice and Fred cheer and watch for a long time through the window before leaving.


    ��


    After the New Year, the Christmas holidays in the West are coming to an end.


    Anfeng��s second batch of goods will be delivered by transport plane, this time from Australia. In the dismantled base, the more expensive 3D printers and highly simulated robots are all transported by air. The semi-finished products and robots are delivered by freighter after dismantling.


    Two freighters with a full load of 200,000 tons travel nearly 20,000 kilometers from Australia to the Mediterranean Sea, so they can only wait slowly.


    But all the important goods have arrived. Advanced robots, three 3D printers, and hundreds of sets of expensive multi-purpose printing nozzles cost 1.5 billion US dollars alone. This shows how much Anfeng has invested in preventing doomsday over the years. , but ended up being useless.


    After the goods arrived, Eve remotely controlled hundreds of robots through the satellite network. They are like humans��more flexible and efficient than humans. A little bit of perfection for a brand new base. Including the assembly of the printer, and the editing of the construction program behind.


    Eve is studying architecture, she wants to control the printer, and perfectly put the architectural designer''s plan into reality through the dexterous machine.


    ��


    After the 5th, people''s desire to play will be withdrawn, and work will continue.


    The two children also have to return to the United States to study. The local schools speak Italian, but the new school has been listed as a plan, which is obviously specially prepared. The main language is English. The official languages ??determined by the country are English, Italian and Sardinian, with English and Italian listed as commonly used.


    In the few days left, the family will have a holiday and go to play by car.


    There are no bodyguards and entourage this time, just a family of four, an ordinary Maserati...it shouldn��t be too ordinary. They set off from Cagliari to the neighboring province of Carbonia-Iglesias. The name sounds a bit Spanish, but the local area is actually influenced by Spanish culture.


    The place they are more familiar with is the northern coast of Sardinia. They don��t know much about the southwestern area, but they heard that the coast is a concentration point for sailboats and yachts, and the former Spanish king also liked sailing vacations. When you have free time, take your children for a walk and experience the humanities of various places.


    Talking and laughing all the way, driving slowly through the local area, all you can appreciate on the road is the scenery of the old European city. There is a peaceful atmosphere in the vicissitudes of life. Like European cities with few tourists, the residents live a leisurely and relaxed life. The pace of life Slow and very simple.


    Thrill-seeking young people may find it monotonous and dull, but for families who want to live in peace and couples who are passionately in love, it is a dreamland. Two adults wearing sunglasses, holding their children, strolled on the paved stone road in the city, and the children''s silver bell-like laughter echoed in the alleys.


    People on bicycles pass by, occasionally smiling kindly at children.


    "Hi!" Alice waved to the people coming and going.


    Everyone also smiled and waved at the little girl. For a while, they couldn''t recognize the two parents beside them as their queen and duke from their low-key attire. It''s no wonder that celebrities often come here for vacation, and people are used to not thinking about what looks behind the sunglasses.


    "There is a light ahead!" Alice pointed to the front, and then ran over, "It''s so beautiful!"


    "Come on, Fred!" She waved to her brother.


    Fred, who is almost four years old, has grown a lot, and there is no need for adults to worry about it. He ran forward with his little feet, and followed his sister back on tiptoe, overlooking the beautiful sea view that can be seen halfway up the mountain. As the setting sun sets, the scene of the afterglow of the setting sun, the sun is just covered by the clouds, and the face is still half covered by the pipa, which is really beautiful.


    This scene is very artistic... No wonder Italy is the cradle of artists, and it seems that the environment is also affecting it all the time.


    ��


    After playing enough with the children on the mountain, go down the mountain from the other side. At the request of Joanna, I picked a cobblestone alley to experience the narrow alleys and the occasional sea breeze. The two children were walking and playing in front of them, An Feng held her hand, and walked in the alley with his fingers intertwined.


    The road down the mountain leads to a small coastal park, next to the yacht marina.


    The pier is full of yachts and sailing boats, ranging from small to luxurious. It seems that there are still many rich people on the island, and tools to enjoy life abound. When walking to the shore of the pier, Fred pointed forward: "Dad, what is that?"


    An Feng looked up, and the sharp-eyed child saw the flashing police lights in the distance.


    "The speedboat of the Coast Guard." An Feng explained, "The police are on duty!"


    A yacht, escorted by two red and blue flashing speedboats, came here to dock. Looking at the words on the speedboat, it is the Coast Guard��they are the country''s maritime police, adapted from the police, and trained to supplement the country''s lack of military force to prevent illegal border crossings and other things.


    As a new sovereign country, Sardinia has issued new passports for its citizens, and established entry and exit customs one by one. There are currently five entry and exit checkpoints. Those who enter through other channels will be regarded as illegal entry. The country does not yet have an army, but a coast guard has been established.


    The guards are trained by Aegis Security Contractors, who select elites directly from the police force.


    This is something that can��t be helped. The Coast Guard was originally supposed to be a paramilitary organization, but because this country lacks everything in terms of force, and the army has no hairs, it can only be second-best and select outstanding personnel from the police. While training, while operating in the field.


    The yacht docked and stopped, one speedboat docked, and the other speedboat was still moving around, keeping vigilance.


    The police were very smart. They did not let the two speedboats dock, and they were careful not to leave a gap.


    Although this is just an ordinary cross-border tourist, an attitude must be present.


    After the cruise ship docked, a dozen white men and women got off the ship, most of them were wearing swimsuits, they looked overly excited, and there was a smell of alcohol from a distance. A few sober guys said they spoke Spanish. The five police officers on the shore stepped forward and asked them to stand in a row.


    The police are questioning them about their passports in English.


    Currently going out and coming in is a bit of a hassle��a visa is required. The Sardinian government is striving to implement a mutual visa-free policy with countries that have established diplomatic relations. Currently, the visa-free countries include Italy, France and Switzerland. Other countries still need to complete diplomatic dialogues after establishing diplomatic relations.


    The mutual visa-free agreement is relatively easy, because Sardinia has a small population and is a developed country.


    If it is a country with a large population and a large gap between the rich and the poor, more factors need to be considered for mutual visa exemption between the two countries, but Sardinia has a population of 1.5 million, and the residents are naturally indifferent. Coupled with the prestige of the royal family, many countries To save face, they readily signed the mutual visa-free policy.


    But from the establishment of the country to the present, it has only been more than two months, and there is still Christmas in the middle. It is already efficient to be able to sign visa-free agreements with three countries. These cross-border tourists are obviously from Spain. Currently, Sardinia Nigeria has not yet established diplomatic relations with Spain, although arrangements are already underway.


    The police also understand the national conditions and patiently persuade them, but because of language problems, communication between the two parties is a bit troublesome.


    Listening to what the other party said, I don��t understand why I could come in freely before, but not now. The police are trying to explain and looking for police support who can speak Spanish. The family watched from a distance and did not step forward. The royal family meddled to lose value and had no rights.


    An Feng wanted to see how the police dealt with it.


    These big policemen are very patient and polite. Even though the other party is a little bit inclined to abuse, they always think that they are awesome by drinking��but soon, the police did not disappoint An Feng, who dared to provoke the law enforcement officers again and again. They were all knocked down on the spot and greeted with handcuffs.


    Several other policemen who came ashore put their hands on the holsters.


    After a few thorns were handcuffed on the ground with their backhands, the others were quiet and cooperated with the coast guard''s work obediently.


    An Feng is very satisfied. He thinks that the police should be like this. Law enforcement officers must have the decisiveness of law enforcement officers. At the beginning, these policemen were very polite. American police work style.


    Aegis Security comes from the United States, so naturally the local police are trained in this way.


    An Feng didn''t see how to deal with it later. The local police support arrived and would follow the procedures. But at present, the charges will not be counted as illegal crossing of the border. After all, the country has only been established for three months, and I am not used to and do not understand normality. After a period of time, I will strictly enforce the law.


    ��


    After a few days off, they return to Cagliari.


    Joanna is particularly concerned about the construction of national law enforcement and military forces.


    The Ministry of National Defense will respond as soon as possible. The current recruitment advertisement has been issued. It is planned to recruit 2,000 soldiers in the first phase. According to the population of 1.5 million, 20,000 soldiers are more appropriate, but refer to financial and An Feng��s considerations , just maintain this base first, and consider it later.


    At present, there are few military resources that the country can use, so there are a lot of vacancies here. Basically, they are nominated by each other for temporary appointments. Guli, who is about to be naturalized, may be a member of the temporary military decision-making committee and also serve as a member of the military. official position.


    The prime minister also recommends some citizens for positions in the army.


    An Feng has no objection, and the temporary appointment will be adjusted later. However, the military training institutions must be contracted to foreign institutions. He can trust Aegis Security. Whether it is quality or ability, most of this group has a background in the U.S. military. Veterans, the quality is absolutely qualified.


    As for more, An Feng doesn''t think about it for now.


    He entrusts defense tasks to robots. As for flesh-and-blood people, they are more often used to deal with small conflicts or support the table. Compared with soldiers, he prefers armed police��such as the Coast Guard, which can be regarded as "military police", which can be The army, and possibly the police, dual purpose.


    In fact, Sardinia, a small country, will not have any foreign aggression. The army will be idle more often, and there is nothing to train to consume physical strength. In contrast, armed police are more useful, ranging from small domestic frictions to possible major cases.

 Chapter 447： High-tech construction [three shifts]

    Chapter 447 High-tech construction


    Before returning to the United States, Joanna has a lot of things that need to be personally involved.


    About her coronation preparations��from clothing, tiara, accessories, and other everyday attire, to specific procedures, religious ceremonies, and vows... countless issues need to be decided by her, and no one else can make the decision. Now there is a group of attendants around her at home.


    She is asking them to measure their body data, which is for the size of the crown and various clothing styles. In order to prepare for this matter, Ms. Roberts has added three assistants, who are dedicated to finding suitable clothing designers and jewelry designers for the Queen around the world. teacher and others.


    There are also many designers recommending themselves.


    Aside from the perspective of admiration and admiration, the title of "Queen''s Queen" is no small matter. In Italy, which is rich in artists, it set off an upsurge. Ms. Roberts listed a lot of items, including the design of the queen''s coronation crown, coronation dress, coat, shoes and boots, to the jewelry she wears...and frequent daily clothes in the future, clothes for formal occasions...the perfume for the queen, tailor-made cosmetic��


    Almost every detail of the queen was attended by specialized personnel.


    In fact, the royal family is also an economy, and the needs of the royal family will promote the development of all walks of life. In view of the terrifying wealth of the An family, rumors from the outside world said that the budget for the Queen''s coronation reached one billion. As the richest and most honorable woman in the world, she is indeed unique.


    As for the jewelry, it is definitely a centuries-old jewelry store in Place Vendome, France. It once designed the crown for Queen Napoleon, and now it is going to be the crown for the Queen of Sardinia. The proud French regard it as a kind of design for foreign monarchs. Highest honor - for saving France.


    On the issue of clothing, the queen''s dress designer is definitely Mr. Eli Saab, a Lebanese designer who is famous for her excellent palace dresses and feminine beauty; in addition, the dark horse is Wang Keke, a Chinese designer in New York. She may be responsible for The queen''s everyday attire.


    The roadside agency stated that the coronation event of Queen Joanna made the whole world lively.


    This is a grand event that has never been seen in any previous monarch''s coronation. As the An family whose influence covers the world, there are still people who don''t want them to belong to a certain country, but they still bring blessings and silently pay attention to this grand event in the new century. All walks of life are talking about it.


    Joanna has not been easy recently, and so has An Feng.


    Although the main event of the coronation is on the queen, as the husband of the queen, there will be many shots on him, and his costume and style must also be particular. He will be the first person to be loyal to the queen at the coronation scene. Because the current Duke of Cagliari was only drafted verbally.


    While discussing things, he answered a call from the United States, which belonged to John, and went to the balcony to answer: "Tell me you brought good news."


    John on the other end of the phone said: "Mr. An...His Royal Highness Prince Alessio!"


    "Let''s keep it simple." An Feng said, he doesn''t really like red tape, but now everyone likes to call him Prince Alessio, or Duke of Cagliari. As for the meeting etiquette, there are both British and Italian styles, and they are nondescript across the country.


    John said: "I decided to receive a green card from Sardinia and officially serve Mr.


    "I wish us a happy cooperation!" An Feng said with a smile. Permanent residency is a good thing. You can maintain American citizenship, but you can also mix in another country, except that you don''t have certain rights that specific citizens have��such as the right to vote and Right to be elected, citizen passport, etc.


    "Thank you!" John said, "I''ll prepare here, probably in February."


    After chatting with John for a few minutes, An Feng hung up the phone and came back. Joanna asked, "What good thing?"


    "The finance minister of our family has been settled." An Feng said that the royal family''s finances must be managed by someone, and he is used to John.


    "Congratulations!" Joanna said.


    An Feng sat down and said, "I finally breathed a sigh of relief, the ideological work was not in vain."


    ��


    Before he was about to leave, the designer Petosio made a request.


    He used a computer to design an irregular architectural model, added details and touch-ups, and printed out the three-dimensional plan. The resolution is so high that it has surpassed the level of human manual work. An Feng picked it up and looked at it. It was an arched column with holes and hollows, and the surface was covered with carvings.


    In the words of Petosio: "Two workers patiently build it, and it takes at least 300 man-hours."


    An Feng calculated in his mind that he worked eight hours a day...Damn, it took two people to work for more than a month just for stuff... No wonder art emphasizes slow work and meticulous work, no wonder Italians are lazy. If there is no 3D printer, An Feng must think that this guy is here to mess things up.


    Petosio has obviously seen the power of 3D printers. He designed the most complicated and annoying models in manual work. Most people don''t like them, and even if they like them, they don''t know how to use them. Feng patted his thigh, and the robot came to work!


    In the warehouse of Anshi Industrial, the powder for printing is ready to be shipped. The situation has been good these years. When the printer first came out, there were not many suppliers of raw materials, and the prices of materials were sky-high. Since Ans Industries changed the concept of smart industry, suppliers of raw materials have blossomed everywhere.


    While Petosio was stunned, the metal robot started to work, and Eve also scanned the data into the computer and remodeled it... The robot was responsible for clearing the field and preparing with 30 sets of nozzles for the 3D printer, which was specially remodeled for construction of.


    The computer program controls the operation of the printer, and the complex inside-out construction work begins.


    The traditional method is from the outside to the inside, and one wrong step will destroy it, but now it is from the inside to the outside, the accuracy of the nozzle reaches the micron level, the human eye can no longer see the difference, but the machine can.


    Eve gives time, it will take about ten hours.


    An Feng said to the designer: "Let''s come back in ten hours."


    But the designer insisted on appreciating the whole process here, so An Feng followed him...to the evening.


    The print build was also completed on time.


    "It''s like it''s carved out of pure stone!" Petosio said, taking a closer look and reaching out to touch it, "but the details have been enhanced, and it''s not smooth enough."


    "Just spend more time on polishing." An Feng said, it''s all secondary.


    "Perfect!" Petosio was fascinated.


    An Feng said: "Do you want to test its strength with a hammer?"


    Absolutely destroying art, Petosio didn''t agree at first, but when he saw a group of robots coming forward with a sledgehammer, he obediently backed away. The strength of the hands can be used to calculate the firmness of the building.


    The final conclusion is that there is not much difference from manual work. She can also transform materials and use coagulants to make the building stronger, which exceeds the level of modern cement buildings... The only flaw is that it will increase the cost, but it will also improve the rapid prototyping. Efficiency... An Feng agreed decisively.


    ��


    The final effect is very satisfactory to Petosio, at least five times the efficiency. In fact, if he sees the robots in Anfeng��s reserve, he will know that five times is conservative. Hundreds of sets of nozzles are assembled to form the largest printer ever. Covering several kilometers, restore ancient art with modern technology.


    The designer named the palace: Moncalieri Palace.


    In addition, San Elmo, a quiet coastal town, after the site visit by the designer Teresa, will also provide a small manor suitable for home leisure, because it is only 80 acres, and there is already a royal palace in front, she focuses on leisure and leisure. Enjoy the style, remove the rich gold.


    Teresa defines this place as a leisure place away from the public eye. Everything is kept secret. In the future, trees will be planted around it, and they will live a covert life like a Beverly Hills star. Although the palace is also resident, there will be some public areas more or less.


    Such as the reception hall, news hall, and some areas that may be open for tours. The Royal Palace is a national landmark. When Sardinia was rich and strong, the issue of face was particularly important. The Italians were very good at face. And no one minds showing off, as it''s fully funded by the royal family.


    Some robots are in charge of construction, and another part is also in preparation.


    He is considering letting robots participate in the construction of the nuclear reactor. The land on the peninsula has been settled, and the approval of the relevant government departments has also come down. Since there are no residents around, the pass rate of the poll is 100%. Now we are waiting for the materials and robots to expire. Work started in full swing.


    Eve is also developing a new type of coagulant, which can be added to buildings to make them stronger and more durable. This is very easy. Eve has already obtained Hal''s data. After spending a few days studying world architecture, she is better than An Feng also knew what to do.

 Chapter 448： two surprises

    Chapter 448 Two Surprises


    Wrapping up local affairs, they head to California mid-month.


    Both children had to go to school. Because Fred was too smart, the family was no longer suitable for him. He was arranged to attend a small class in the school and let the teacher give him proper enlightenment education. In terms of knowledge, parents can only teach him. But his high IQ cannot be wasted.


    After the two children settled down, the busy work continued.


    Leaving Sardinia, she got rid of the aura of the royal family, but she couldn''t relax in the United States. Etiquette and language need to be strengthened. Joanna is working with Brandon and two professionals he hired, two professionals who have served the royal family, to optimize A whole new set of monarch specs.


    As a young man, Joanna is a bit similar to An Feng. She believes that proper behavior is necessary, but she doesn''t like cumbersomeness. At present, they are constantly streamlining the British royal family''s set, while at the same time showing good qualities... This aspect is Rather nerve-wracking.


    For the language problem, the family invited an Italian tutor. In private occasions, Joanna and An Feng use Italian to talk, and they have to be careful not to let the two children learn it. At present, they are learning two languages ??first, and they will wait until they master the language. After finishing, consider the third type, otherwise it will be chaotic.


    Being busy until mid-February, An Feng found time to receive a few friends.


    Matthew looked at his tired face, and smiled easily: "It seems that the duke is not easy to be, does it mean that Her Majesty the Queen has various arrangements around the clock?"


    An Feng sighed: "Just walking and sitting are very particular."


    Matthew said: "Listen to you, I know it''s not easy, but I bring you some easy news, our investment has been successful."


    "Oh?" An Feng looked up at him.


    "You don''t know anything about it, do you?" Matthew wondered.


    "Even on New Year''s Eve, I was still helping her back the manuscript, what do you think?" An Feng smiled bitterly. He really didn''t have time to care about other things during this time.


    "There will always be an easy day." Matthew comforted him, "Just to tell you, our investment is very stable, and we have bought some European companies at the bottom, and the funds have infiltrated a large area, and at the same time, there are more funds pouring into us. Partners. At the moment we are European creditors.��


    "That''s great!" An Feng nodded, "What about the situation in other regions?"


    "Now the United States is having a headache. The giant''s little cold is coming again. The dollar is depreciating. Because of the warning of the last subprime mortgage crisis, people are very careful to protect their wallets. Those who have money simply exchange foreign currency. In order to prevent depreciation, A lot of people are thinking about selling real estate.��


    "We have also grasped the laws of other regions. North America, Europe and Asia, these three have relatively good economies, and they can all obtain a part of us from the assets that have been silently evaporated. But it needs to be full Digest, it takes a while to get to your hands."


    "This is the best news I''ve ever heard." An Feng smiled. The consortium''s plan at the beginning was to grasp the laws of the economy and use various methods to play tricks. Now that Matthew is relaxed and comfortable, and he still has time to smoke a cigar, the profit is sure. Very substantial. They ended up being big winners too.


    "The president of the United States has changed, but the Democratic Party is still in power. It doesn''t matter anymore. The Texas consortium has suffered heavy losses. A large amount of assets are held by foreign companies. It is no longer a super consortium. It fell to the end. The shares of GP, Bida and Superconductor are all There is not much left, isn''t this the result they want?"


    An Feng nodded: "This trick is well played, and in the end everything has nothing to do with it."


    Matthew continued: "We put part of our focus on offshore companies. Many people are optimistic about your business model at the height of the country. This kind of unconventional way is a clever way to covertly protect assets. At present, many people are waiting. Her Majesty''s new passport."


    "Naturalization?" An Feng asked.


    "Didn''t Mancini say that? Dual citizenship will not be discussed for the time being, but keep the default. The country will implement tax incentives for a period of time. In our business model, it is good to take advantage of low tax rates. If your kingdom is strong enough, we will all To be under your protection."


    An Feng is right when he thinks about it. The consortium plays such a big game and uses the decline to become invisible. It cannot continue to stay in the United States. Although it will always be the center of gravity, the consortium has multiple centers of gravity, pushing the core members to the top of the pyramid and expanding the middle layer. And the underlying scale, targeting the whole world.


    As for Sardinia, to some extent, it is a country controlled by the royal family��that is, the core of the consortium. As long as it has a little strength in the international arena, it will be safe to protect the absolute interests of their small group of people for decades. Every step here has elements of gambling luck.


    Matthew said: "So you are a key point here."


    An Feng jokingly said: "Welcome! If you contribute to the national economy, I propose to knight you."


    "Extremely happy!" Matthew smiled, "How much do you need to donate?"


    "The royal family respects the honor of a few people, attracting more people to compete and be proud..."


    "I see." Matthew nodded, "You profiteer!"


    ��


    The consortium''s venture was successful.


    Although they are the masterminds behind this "giant cold", all ghosts and snakes must be fed. The hundreds of billions of funds invested by Anfeng will also get sufficient returns within a few years. Thinking about it now, I''m still a little excited.


    It''s all about lack of money. The royal family is heavily in debt now.


    He found time to look through economic newspapers. The "Wall Street Journal" said that the U.S. economy is not doing well recently. Due to the chaos caused by the disease and the panic caused by investors, the capital of some giant U.S. companies is outflowing, and tax inversion Any illegal behavior will be investigated and dealt with.


    But it can''t save the behind-the-scenes giants from transferring trillions of output value enterprises. Once the false prosperity on the surface is revealed, everyone is scared to pee, the stock market plummets, and the short-selling capitalists laugh until their stomachs cramp. Those tricks, the Fed is going to kill them.


    Americans now have to tighten their belts to live, just like the last crisis, this is only the patent of the poor and the middle class. How the rich lived in the past and how they live now has little impact on them. But among the top few people, it is another scene.


    This financial war is mainly concentrated between high-level economies and the super rich. It is equivalent to a reshuffle launched by the Texas consortium. Many old consortiums have stumbled on it. Down, and ultimately shrink.


    This big reshuffle broke through the routine and reduced the wool of the big capitalists. It is really rare, but the sword has really won the victory. It must be admitted that the younger group is courageous and dares to work hard. If you change to a group of older guys, it is estimated that they do not have the courage to bet all their wealth.


    An Feng has no time to pity these capitalists. He is very busy, so it is good to know that he has won.


    ��


    An Feng put all his energy into moving.


    The former is the relocation of the company, and now the scope is narrowed down. He wants to transfer his own assets to Sardinia, and he plans to build a racecourse there��Joanna has a special liking for equestrianism, and the local area also has a good atmosphere. Racetracks are necessary.


    He also intends to build a racetrack in Cagliari. Although in his future capacity, he will try to minimize the performance of this crazy high-speed game in front of the public, but occasionally try to adjust his life. Regarding the matter of the car museum, he was hesitant to send it over.


    It��s not that they won��t come and go again after living in Sardinia for a long time. With their temperament and convenient air transportation, Sardinia is not a big place, so they definitely need a change of taste... After thinking twice, he left the car museum Under the name of one of their own companies, together with the racing track.


    It is not impossible to own foreign assets in the name of private individuals, but it is inappropriate. An Feng asked his assistant to set up several management companies, fully controlling them with his offshore account, and the other end is in Sardinia, which is owned by the royal family. It not only guarantees privacy, but also does not generate complicated tax issues.


    He has many private companies in the United States, which have gradually become controlled by overseas companies. At the same time, some assets have been transferred, such as real estate in San Francisco, and yachts have been pulled to Santa Barbara. And Santa Barbara, this valuable manor, continues to be kept under the name, and may be used in the future.


    Processing assets took a lot of time. Until early March, Starry Sky Exploration Company called him.


    Informed him that the Boeing 747 custom-made more than two years ago was basically completed, and the adjustment of the interior decoration and the exterior painting were still missing. After An Feng learned about the situation, he took his assistants to Nevada and saw this high-tech big guy at the company headquarters.


    The exterior has not been painted yet, and it looks like an ugly duckling with spots.


    Anfeng��s painting plan has been produced before coming here. The upper part of the fuselage is white, and the lower part is light blue. In the selection of the letter painting, considering the issue of identity, both sides of the fuselage are written in black letters in English and Italian. Queen Anna" with the national flag painted on the tail.


    The plane caught up with the good times and turned into the queen''s plane.


    Continue to explain the idea, and the technician hurried to the assistant.


    Then there is the internal link, stepping on the passenger ladder car and entering the interior of the aircraft. The project director of the company is introducing the hardware configuration of the aircraft. It uses advanced avionics systems, a large number of liquid crystal displays, active radar and passive warning radar, as well as missile jamming system and satellite communication equipment.


    With the development of science and technology, various kinetic energy and laser weapons have appeared in various countries. The head of state special plane must be equipped with an EMP system that interferes with kinetic energy weapons or missiles, and it must also have an outer layer that can absorb laser energy. The simple thing is high temperature resistance, which is not easy. deformed.


    Graphene is obvious, this thing is the favorite of aerospace aircraft.


    A large number of expensive graphene materials are used in the outer layer of the special plane. The cost of this layer alone exceeds 200 million US dollars. If it is sold, it is impossible without 300 million. The turbofan engine has a maximum range of 16,000 kilometers, and the flight between continents will never trouble VIPs again. In the four-shot state, its speed can reach 1080 kilometers.


    The maximum cruising speed is maintained at 1020 kilometers per hour, which could have been higher, but considering the noise and comfort issues, it did not achieve the 1100 kilometers expected by Anfeng. He didn''t mind, he was already satisfied when he saw the interior decoration comparable to a luxurious palace.


    The luxury and luxury of Boeing 747-VIP can definitely surpass that of many top mansions. Its usable area is about 4,700 square feet (436 square meters). Pleasant equipment such as spiral staircases, vaulted ceilings, wall-mounted TVs, and wooden floors can Say yes to everything.


    The plane is divided into two floors, the first floor is naturally the most spacious, living room, conference hall, dining room, leisure film and television area, bar, entertainment area... built according to the highest specifications. In order to achieve the effect of not interfering with each other, the film and television area and the bar are closed, and the internal corridor passes through the door.


    An Feng entered the independent area to have a look. The design styles are different. The lighting in the film and television area is relatively dark. It has a 52-inch graphene display screen and a top-level sound system around it. The bar is another atmosphere, semi-open, with grotesque colors.


    The overall style is novel and fashionable, the public areas are brightly lit, and warm colors are used extensively, white and beige coexist, making you feel like you are in a casual restaurant with bright sunshine and spacious space, which makes you feel very relaxed. According to reports, the first floor can accommodate up to ninety people.


    An Feng returned to the front of the plane. In front of him was a spiral staircase. Stepping on the valuable crystal staircase, he stepped up step by step, giving people a great sense of respect.


    Come to the second floor, here is the main area.


    It is mainly divided into three areas. The front is the living room and small meeting room, and the middle is the living room. You can put some books and TV, and you can also put some drinks and alcohol in the refrigerator. Through the living room, the innermost is the bedroom. The bedroom is about 20 square meters, the same as the deluxe room in the hotel, with a comfortable big bed, a table and three leisure chairs around it, and a TV set on the wall on the other side.


    The activity space in the bedroom is not small. Further inside the bedroom, there is a bathroom that is not easy to find. It is a bathroom that combines toilet and bathing. It is designed with a sky blue background. There is a huge vanity mirror and two sinks. Usually the door is closed. , and the same color as the wall.


    From the beginning to the end, from the first floor to the second floor, An Feng only had the word "satisfaction".


    The large plane can be modified enough, he turned on his mobile phone to video with Joanna, and shared this luxurious plane with her as soon as possible. She followed An Feng''s vision through the high-definition camera and was full of praise. With their many private jets, this guy can still surprise.


    The price of surprise is money��from the purchase of the aircraft to the refitting, and the completion of the project, it has already cost 610 million U.S. dollars, and the post-production cost is about 620 million. It is the absolute top luxury in the air. We must know that the current fifth-generation aircraft of the US military has fallen below 100 million US dollars, and the sixth-generation aircraft is only in the early 200 million.


    Get off the plane when you are satisfied, discuss the interior decoration with the designer, add appropriate embellishments, and then confirm the painting of the aircraft''s shape. After the completion of the project, several test flights will be carried out, and professional pilots will control the passenger plane to perform several difficult maneuvers, and finally it will be delivered.

 Chapter 449： to be made into a movie

    Chapter 449 is going to be made into a movie


    The interior adjustment and exterior painting of the aircraft can be delivered in one and a half months.


    An Feng was in a good mood after he came back, and even the tedious relocation work was quite pleasing to the eye. Later, he spent a little more time storing the data that Eve had sorted out in half a year, and operated it with a remote robot.


    Three days later, the biological computer was completed, and the new generation of Hal IV was officially launched.


    Hal''s image and character still continue from the previous one, a staid, ordinary middle-aged man with little expression. Perhaps in front of An Feng, it would be more appropriate to call him "young man". After all, His Excellency the Duke is forty-one years old and looks much more mature and stable than Hal.


    It''s all blank except for the character and image.


    Then Eve reported the second thing: a breakthrough in the research of superconductors.


    Superconductors have been commercialized seven years ago. Now the high-voltage cables in many places on the earth are high-temperature superconductors. Due to the characteristics of superconducting zero resistance and no heat generation, the wires can be very thin, but the appearance needs to be wrapped with refrigerant. Superconducting cables About the size of a baby''s arm.


    Superconductor''s main business is cables, which account for 40% of revenue.


    In addition to high-voltage cables, superconducting power generation, superconducting magnetic levitation, and nuclear fusion have all been used commercially, but the development of superconductor companies is not fast. They have more advanced technologies, but they hide them and only use high-temperature superconductors to make money. The company is also not listed, with a revenue of about 100 billion.


    Now the superconductor breakthrough reported by Eve, does not belong to the superconductor company.


    Artificial intelligence has always had a goal of room-temperature superconductivity. Over the years, Anfeng has invested more than one billion yuan to collect any objects in the world that may or are close to room-temperature superconductivity. But it is really rare. The anti-stress robot has even gone deep into the seabed and excavated rare materials on the surface.


    Repeatedly until now, Eve said that the chemical formula of the room temperature superconductor came out.


    As long as he is willing to spend money, room-temperature superconductivity will definitely be realized... Now Anfeng has no burden, and just likes to make something he likes. In the past, in the United States, considering the impact, it was not allowed to play blatantly, but in Sardinia in the future, who cares?


    "Room temperature superconductivity... good stuff!" An Feng had a very bold and amazing idea in his mind. The premise is that there must be a large number of room temperature superconductors.


    is considering the time, external calls.


    Seeing that it was Roger''s video communication, voice command "answer", the communication screen was immediately transferred to the projection screen, and a smiling face of Roger appeared: "Hi, Duke!"


    "What''s the matter?" An Feng is used to the native Americans being unclear about his title and address.


    "There''s something that''s bothering you recently," said Roger.


    "Wait, when did you learn to hesitate?" An Feng said, Luo Jie''s personality is somewhat similar to Wang Le''s, and he always says what he thinks of.


    "Well, I''ll tell you the truth," Roger said, "I''m going to make a movie soon."


    "It''s okay to make a movie, but the funds are not enough?" An Feng asked.


    Roger shook his head: "Naturally, you don''t need to worry about ordinary movies, but this movie is related to you, specifically the two of you. Considering the political influence and the feelings of people all over the world, we dare not do it casually. If you fabricate the facts, you will be very passive."


    "You mean about viruses?" An Feng understood.


    Roger nodded: "Yes, this is a popular subject, and the U.S. government is very supportive of companies that want to shoot this content, clarify the facts."


    An Feng laughed. The United States is also a gun party. Their original intention is to resolve the crisis as soon as possible, but because of the sharp confrontation with Joanna, the people who have lost their loved ones will unconsciously blame the US government. Without their messing around, there would be no such consequences.


    Although the virus will mutate sooner or later, it��s already yellow mud falling into the crotch��it��s either **** or shit!


    Roger smiled: "Regardless of the attitude of the US government, I think the subject matter is great. There are countless film companies who want to shoot, but the biggest difficulty is not the funds or the actors, but you! The outside world knows too little about you, I think There is a risk of being scolded if you make up fiction."


    Not to mention An Feng''s low-key, although Joanna occasionally shows up, but only in public places, and not many people can really get in touch with the life of this couple. Those who can be contacted will not disclose it to the outside world. The rich pay special attention to privacy, and there is no way you want to know.


    "Your specific plan?" An Feng was also interested, but political influence had to be considered.


    Roger said: "We plan to invite a gold-medal screenwriter to get in touch with your daily life, your personality habits, and some major decisions during the disaster. Let''s treat it as a one-day interview, and let the screenwriter feel your truth by the side. Live, get inspired."


    "Don''t worry, we will resolutely put an end to those that involve privacy and may have adverse effects, and ensure that you show the most sound positive image. For details, you can also refer to the opinions of the two of you. We just want to restore your lives, and then carry out artistic treatment."


    An Feng said: "I have to discuss it with Joanna and see what she thinks."


    "I''ll wait for your good news." Roger said.


    An Feng told Joanna about the matter. She also considered making a movie. According to the shooting and release time of the movie, it must be after she is crowned. At that time, she will be the monarch of a country. If there is a problem with the character image , will have adverse effects.


    But also considering that even if they disagree, there will definitely be other companies filming in the future. After all, this matter is not their patent, and the film company is free to use other than the real name. It��s okay if the filming is good, but if the filming is bad, there will be some impact.


    Joanna finally said: "Let them shoot. Don''t you also have shares in the film company? Just be an example of this kind of subject, show our lives, let the audience form preconceived thinking, and then release some information about our interviews. It''s almost true."


    "I''ve learned a lot these days!" An Feng said.


    Joanna said: "This is a necessary quality, even if you don''t need it, you have to master it."


    "You will be a successful queen." An Feng said, "Then I will find a time to talk to Roger and arrange for us to have free days."


    ��


    Angel Films, invested by An Feng and Luo Jie, is close to the water.


    Because of Roger''s relationship, the Ans and his wife agreed to the interview. Terry, the gold medal screenwriter who has become famous in Hollywood in recent years, is in charge of this aspect, but the schedule was not arranged immediately��the film company uncharacteristically selected the characters first, because the producer hoped It is possible to arrange for the male and female protagonists and the screenwriter to get in touch with this legendary couple at the same time, so as to form a more intuitive feeling and grasp the character well.


    Angel Pictures then shook out the news.


    The entertainment industry is naturally paying close attention to it. Being able to personally contact the two core people in the virus crisis and understand their lives is simply a step ahead of others. No matter how fictitious others are, it is not as good as knowing it personally. Colleagues are almost full of jealousy.


    The top eight companies won the top spot... People can only feel that the backstage of Angel Pictures is not as strong as usual.


    Casting activities are in full swing, and both Roger and the director are personally involved. Roger must check it out, because only he is familiar with male and female roles.


    The male character is naturally Chinese. The difficulty of An Feng''s role is in image and temperament. The complex identities of a baroness husband, a successful entrepreneur and a genius have to be played out. There are also body requirements. An Feng loves sports and has a very standard body shape, which is not bad compared to white people.


    It took a lot of effort to select the male role. They had to find a male actor who fit the image very well among Chinese Americans, and they had to have height, figure and temperament. In fact, a white actor is more qualified, but the whole world knows that An Feng is of yellow race. If you insist on a white actor, you will definitely be sprayed to death.


    The female character is also a headache. Roger specified that she should be around 1.75 meters tall. There are many models, but they should not be too thin. Joanna is not a dry figure, her body proportions are appropriate. What is more difficult than the body requirements is temperament - who can imitate the queen''s momentum?


    Even though she wasn''t a queen at that time, she was still a noblewoman, and her temperament was the key!


    This killed a lot of brain cells.


    After filtering the well-known actors, few are qualified, those with temperament have no figure, and those with suitable figure have no temperament... After choosing and choosing, none of them match. They continued to expand the scope. The male lead went to China to choose, and the female lead considered a British actor, who had to speak an aristocratic accent.


    The definition is a drama disaster movie, with an investment budget of about 300 million U.S. dollars��the burnt money of two rich men is indispensable. Considering the market, it is also worth it.


    First of all, Joanna''s fans claim to have 500 million fans in the world. Needless to say, this kind of concept? Second, the Anns, what does it mean that four billion people in the world have heard of them, three billion people know what they do, and two billion people praise them? Terrible market!


    Coupled with the fact that people are just recovering from the pain of the disaster, positive films are sure to be popular-the last is the news that the film crew and actors had the honor to talk to the Queen and her husband in person before filming, and had contact with their daily lives . Authenticity is guaranteed virtually.


    Together, the investment of 300 million U.S. dollars is worthwhile compared to movies that are expected to become popular through fan effects in the future.


    This is why other colleagues are jealous and jealous.


    Filming has not yet started, but there are movies that are concerned all over the world, and roles are being selected all over the world, and finally there are eyebrows.


    The male character is recommended by the partner, which is a film company in mainland China��the filming is entirely in charge of Angel Pictures, and they have a gold medal team. The mainland film companies are only responsible for the dubbing and trivial work after the introduction of the mainland, and enjoy a certain share of the Chinese box office.


    Chinese people must be more familiar with their own people. After thousands of choices, they found a 32-year-old actor, 1.82 meters, who loves fitness, and his body shape is similar to An Feng. But temperament needs to be specially trained. Although His Royal Highness is not from aristocratic background, but he has been with his wife for more than ten years, coupled with his excellent learning ability, and has been in the upper class for a long time, he still has an aura.


    As for the female role, I finally chose a British actress who has appeared in many movies. She used to study in a private public school. Naturally, she spoke with an aristocratic accent and received an upper-class education. If you''re blonde, it''s pretty similar.


    After some searching, the male and female roles were finally finalized.

 Chapter 450： to experience

    Chapter 450 Experience


    But at the beginning of April, the queen and the duke were not in the United States and could not start work. They returned to Sardinia, and Joanna had to perform the duties of the queen and sign the bill on the time and form of the general election passed by the parliament. She agreed to hold elections in June, with results to be known by the end of June.


    The queen''s duty is to convene citizens to participate in the election. After the election results come out, appoint the prime minister, approve the cabinet formed by the prime minister, and confer civilian and military titles. Although these people were nominated, and the Queen''s approval rate was almost 100%, she did have veto power.


    After signing the bill, she called citizens on television to participate in the parliamentary election.


    Then the publicity work for the general election began. The advantage is that the country is small in size, with few people, and the communication and transportation are well developed, and the information can basically be notified all over in a few days. Everyone responds to the Queen''s call, and citizens who have reached the age of eighteen can now find their own satisfactory candidates.


    After finishing, An Feng cared about other construction plans.


    For example, the construction of a school near the town of Moncalieri is currently in full swing. It is expected that his two children will study here in September of the second half of the year. At the same time, others who are interested in the English teaching environment can apply. It is the nature of private schools.


    An Feng is also looking for a site for the racetrack. He needs a 200-acre land, and the site is selected in the second area planned in the future, which is not far away and has fresh air. The queen will also appear in the future. Add another racing track, about 300 acres, just the right size.


    A series of plans to make the cities of the future prosperous.


    ��


    In mid-April, they returned to California.


    This will be Joanna''s last appearance in the United States before her coronation. There will be a lot of work arrangements in the future. After the general election, you have to start preparing for the coronation ceremony. After the coronation is the National Day, and the National Day is also going to review the troops. At present, Colonel Korotayev is already working hard to train soldiers.


    After the two returned, the crew was also preparing to set off.


    Regarding the filming, An Feng and Joanna thought about it. This is also an opportunity to positively promote the Sardinian royal family. Exposure is not necessarily a bad thing, and the filming companies are all film companies he invested in, which makes it easier to communicate. In the end, three days were given for the visit.


    There are three people who have been chartered, the male and female protagonists plus the screenwriter.


    As the boss, Roger took them there in person and gave instructions on the way.


    The actors, actresses and screenwriters listened carefully. They knew that this trip was rare. In order to familiarize themselves with the roles, they had been reading materials related to the Ans and his wife these days. They also learned that the Queen was busy with administration a few days ago. Take time out of your busy schedule.


    After arriving at the door, the bodyguard saw Roger''s face in the back seat, glanced at the others, and let them go.


    They walked around and stopped in front of the main entrance. The stern-faced butler stood aside with two male servants. The male servants stepped forward to open the door for them, but they were not that big. Only Roger accepted the servant. people open the door. After getting off the car, a man came out of the door.


    A black suit with a single button, and a white shirt without a tie inside. The decent clothing outlines his muscular figure well. Usually the skeleton of the upper body is wide enough to hold the shape in a suit, which is the so-called hanger, and the effect is the same in other clothes.


    So the clothes don''t look good on me...sometimes weird.


    The butler Brandon saw An Feng coming out in person and nodded to him. An Feng stepped forward and hugged Roger.


    Roger introduced several people who came: "Mr. Terry, the screenwriter, Mr. Ma, the leading actor, and Miss Petra, the leading actress."


    Terry nodded to An Feng, then held An Feng''s outstretched hand together, and said, "It''s an honor to meet you, Your Highness!"


    "Me too, Mr. Terry." An Feng said.


    "It''s my honor to meet you, Your Highness!" Miss Petra, the heroine candidate, stepped back with her right leg, her waist was straight and her legs were squatting down, curtseying well.


    An Feng held her outstretched hand and pulled it up: "Miss Pecha, welcome!"


    "Your Highness." Mr. Ma, the actor candidate, also shook hands with An Feng.


    "Welcome, Mr. Ma!" An Feng used Chinese.


    "You can call me Ma Jun." Ma Jun said in Chinese.


    "Ma Jun, not bad!" An Feng nodded with a smile, and the butler, who was observing his words, answered, "Ladies and gentlemen, please come inside!"


    An Feng walked in front, Roger followed side by side, and the others followed quickly.


    In the corridor on the right, An Feng asked, "When do we start?"


    "As long as you allow, you can start at any time." Roger said, "They hope you don''t care about them, just treat them as a transparent person."


    An Feng turned around: "There is a gap between ideal and reality, I hope you understand."


    "It''s all right, sir," Terry said.


    "This way!" An Feng led them to the second living room, "She is discussing something with her assistant, so she may be busy."


    "We can understand, don''t care about us." Terry said again.


    Along the resplendent and luxurious corridors, the few people who visited for the first time were shocked, and even lowered their voices when walking. This place feels like a palace, spacious and grand, full of carvings and gold-plated decorations. It can already be called a luxurious model of the modern palace.


    The butler stepped forward quickly, pushed open a door, stood aside, and An Feng led the way in.


    Here is a slightly smaller living room. Joanna is sitting on a European classical chair in front of the tea table, with delicate ceramic teacups and snacks in front of her.


    The female assistant Roberts and two other ladies were sitting next to each other. Unlike Joanna��s home, their buttocks accounted for only one-third of the room, their bodies leaned forward slightly, and they listened carefully. Ms. Roberts was talking about accessories for some clothes.


    "Wait a minute," Joanna said to Roberts, standing up and walking towards them.


    She gives people a very different feeling. Although An Feng had the aura of a superior person before, she was really peaceful and did not take the initiative. However, the current hostess, from her movements, eyes and posture, all reflect her confidence. I am a country The attitude of the monarch, the queen.


    This aura is very strong when facing each other.


    Introduced by Roger, Joanna shook hands with them one by one, but with a smile on her face, which eased the tension of the guests.


    After getting to know each other, Joanna said: "I''m really sorry, I have to deal with some things, please feel free!"


    "It''s okay, Your Majesty the Queen!" They said one after another.


    Joanna nodded slightly, then returned to the seat, changed her posture, and continued to listen to Ms. Roberts. From time to time, she gave some comments on the photos in Roberts'' hands, usually like, not good enough, or dislike, and the assistant also marked them skillfully.


    Others sat down beside, An Feng chatted with Roger.


    In addition, I didn''t say much. Now is the time to observe the details and remember. Besides, I still haven''t recovered. In this resplendent and luxurious place, facing the queen with a touch of majesty, and the boss of the company next to me, how much do you feel now? It''s stiff and tense.


    Screenwriter Terry was the quickest to adapt, and began to write in a small notebook with a pen.


    After talking about the costumes, Joanna took some time to talk to them. Roger was not there. He wanted to take the tiger out for a walk. Terry also recorded it, and ideas flashed in his mind. In the conversation with the queen and the prince, I also learned the whole story of the original incident.


    Generally speaking, getting along is very pleasant, because of the various rules that are staged here, the guests are somewhat reserved and need to get used to it slowly. The three feel that the queen maintains her image and is majestic, while the prince is more casual and can joke around��but currently they are still focusing on friends.


    At lunch, Joanna asks them to stay.


    Different from the extravagance here, the lunch is very simple. The food is exquisite but not much in portion. There are only the same exquisite tableware and the meticulous care of the servants, which reflects that this is a high-standard royal meal. After it was over, the queen went on to discuss things with her assistants.


    An Feng is going to walk around and invite them.


    In the afternoon, they sat outdoors drinking afternoon tea, and then the two children came home from school, and Joanna smiled more on her face. When facing the child, the mother''s performance is the most authentic. Although it still looks a bit unattainable, it has begun to have a breath of life.


    The observation of this day was very successful, and they left in the evening.


    Naturally, they will not be invited to stay overnight, so they will stay in a nearby hotel and continue the next day.


    In the following time, An Feng and Joanna restored their original lives to the greatest extent. The title of the richest couple in the world lived up to it. After experiencing it personally, the three felt that the luxury they had seen before was not worth mentioning, and even Become a little childish.


    These three days are a rare learning opportunity for actors and screenwriters, try to remember the details as much as possible, and restore the character''s character more realistically. They are very attentive and well prepared before coming. And the prototype characters they refer to are also showing their good side.


    is taken from reality, but it cannot be absolutely restored to reality.


    After all, you said that if the husband and wife have a quarrel or something, do you have to show it to the outside world? Or when Joanna asked An Feng to coax her willfully, where was the majesty of the queen? So, life is a play, and certain scenes are sometimes as wonderful as those staged in movies.


    But they didn''t make it too fake, just a little more serious.

 Chapter 451： Unique Style

    Chapter 451 Unique style


    They were riding horses one afternoon.


    When they are alone, they are actually very gossip. She and An Feng are discussing the role.


    An Feng commented on the female character: "Miss Pecha feels a bit similar to you, both in temperament and manner, and if you imitate it deliberately, you should be able to restore her character. But although she is younger than you, she is not as young as you, and she has a calm demeanor. I guess you have to practice with a mirror."


    When An Feng praised other women, he did not forget to praise his own wife.


    Here''s a trick��if you want your wife to be as docile as a cat. Joanna agreed: "The female role is good, I believe she can do it, but the male role is a bit difficult. How to solve the main problem of English pronunciation? Mr. Ma''s English is not very good."


    Although An Feng did not appear in many public appearances, his British accent is obvious, but Ma Jun''s English is average and he speaks with an American accent. An Feng said: "It''s very easy, post-production, find a very magnetic voice to lip-sync, and guarantee that I will be an idol in the future."


    Joanna smiled: "Then the next question, should we provide them with a venue?"


    An Feng thought for a while: "It will take June at the earliest to write a good script, and if the shooting is fast, it will start in July, and we will already be in Sardinia by then."


    "You agree?" Joanna said.


    "Maximum restoration, isn''t it good?" An Feng said, "Anyway, they won''t come here often, so let''s open some areas for them to shoot."


    "That''s it." Joanna agreed.


    ��


    Several guests sitting on the benches by the lake were also communicating.


    It is mainly the communication between the two actors and the screenwriter, and the assistant is responsible for some translation work.


    In the past three days, they have opened their eyes and experienced the colorful life of the real upper class, and the ubiquitous attention. Immersed in it for three days, I feel that my behavior has the standard of nobility. No wonder it is said that the influence of family is very important, and that kind of courage is very profound.


    Especially Petra from the UK, she knows that Joanna embodies the unique temperament cultivated by generations of the family, which flows in the bones, and needs the environment and the crowd to be infected with each other, so that she can bring people this instinctive feeling in every gesture. a feeling of.


    Petra admits: "It''s difficult to play this role."


    Ma Jun said to the screenwriter: "I hope Mr. Terry will show mercy to us."


    Terry said with a smile: "I will try to bring out places you are familiar with. The environment is only part of the story, but due to the nature of the shooting, you should pay more attention to the essence of the environment. The film will have a wide range of influences, and the background is also attractive. A selling point for the audience."


    They naturally also know that the film is to some extent an endorsement for the royal family.


    What did the audience like? Quest!


    ��


    The queen is busy with affairs, and these three days are specially set aside. Afterwards, she will continue to participate in the selection of clothing elements, which will determine the formal clothing style of the royal family in the future; there is also language learning, and now the conversations with An Feng are all in Italian. She is studying very hard; secondly, there are requirements for the coronation environment... Roberts and his assistants listed things one by one, and many of them needed to be decided by her.


    An Feng was relatively free, so he had a private conversation with Roger and the screenwriter.


    According to the screenwriter''s idea, the first part of the story shows their lives, showing the ease of the two characters in the upper class, and satisfying the curiosity of the audience. Then compare the benevolent side through various manifestations after the disaster broke out. There are also conflicts, choices and even pain along the way.


    Terry''s purpose is to make the over-perfected hero role more life-like, so that the audience can realize that the queen''s life was like this before, and she can act in her true colors while sitting on the throne, while the prince is a multi-faceted character, and the savior also has hesitation and conflict. when it hurts.


    The portrayal of the two characters will be very positive, interspersed with some humanized details, such as the Queen is a bit strong, while An Feng is very optimistic. When the Queen learned of her husband''s sad news, she suddenly showed a cowardly side, but was forced to be strong. After An Feng learned that he was infected, he felt complicated emotions such as fear and fear, and was finally supported by love, fighting against the virus step by step.


    Although the idea is somewhat inconsistent with the facts, it is more suitable for the movie.


    Roger said: "It''s not bad to portray the social environment appropriately, and to set off the two characters."


    Terry said: "There will be such a treatment."


    They chatted a lot, and An Feng was convinced that as long as the actors had enough skill and acting skills, this would be a great film, promoting positive energy, and it would also let the outside world know a more real An''s couple��they will take a different route, half The form of biography reveals the self.


    Joanna and An Feng have considered that the royal family has no foundation, and it is destined that they do not have to inherit the routines of their predecessors��how can they inherit without predecessors?


    So what the people love is not the old tradition, but the new spirit and unique style of the royal family.


    This is why the people support them.


    In the end, An Feng increased the investment budget. Although it is not a commercial production of popcorn and hardly uses special effects, the high-end content required by the environment, luxurious life, gorgeous costumes, filming in many countries, etc., cost a lot of money It won''t go anywhere.


    The matter of the movie is over, and the work in the United States continues to be finished.


    At the end of April, the designer Ms. Wang Keke hired by Joanna arrived. An Feng received her at the gate. Compared with before, the girl''s family has matured a lot, and her dress is no longer so rebellious, but it is still different and reflects her personality. Now she is going to try out the water queen''s daily clothing design.


    As society works harder, it will naturally mature. She shook hands with An Feng, hugged, and smiled: "I''m sorry, I don''t know your etiquette, please teach me!"


    "Whatever you want, you don''t need to be particular about it in private." An Feng invited her into the room, "Now she is troubled by the problem of clothing and needs help."


    "I will satisfy Her Majesty the Queen." Wang Keke said.


    "Thank you, girl!" An Feng put his hand around her waist, inviting her to the living room, and opened the door for her with the other hand, ladies first.


    Wang Keke nodded to him.


    Joanna was sitting on the sofa flipping through the album, and when she saw Wang Keke coming, she put down the album and waved to her: "Keke, welcome, come to me!"


    Wang Keke came to sit beside her and took out the tablet in her bag: "Ma''am, all the ideas are here!"


    "I love you so much, Coco!" Joanna hugged her affectionately, and there were her latest series designs on the tablet, which were specially designed for Joanna''s style.


    Wang Keke discussed clothing with her. As a queen or head of state, whether it is a banquet occasion or a public appearance, the clothing must be exquisite. The so-called "everyday wear" is also different from grand dresses, which are still formal and elegant.


    The queen naturally cannot be too civilian. Her daily clothes also belong to the category of high-end ready-to-wear. They are small and unique, and can be used in some banquet occasions with low requirements. Grand and cumbersome evening dresses are only used for formal dinners. And other clothes also have a strict time period.


    An Feng is in a state of half-knowledge about this.


    Women''s clothing considerations, whether it is an ordinary girl or a noble queen, are not simple... In short, Wang Keke must pay attention to Joanna''s image, taboo indecent, clothing can be luxurious and beautiful, but you have to maintain a degree, revealing **** is that Things in the entertainment industry.


    An Feng left time for them to talk slowly, and deal with business by himself.


    Finally, he decided to set up a superconductor company in Cagliari, but it had nothing to do with the superconductor company. The former researched room-temperature superconductors. In addition, some favorite cars from the Automobile Museum were transported away, mainly because he would use them. Aegis Security has also been transferred to an overseas company for holding.


    In the end, it''s the NBA team''s problem, he is naturally no longer suitable.


    After much deliberation, it is better to transfer the equity to the company, let his brother-in-law exercise the supervisory power, and be a prospective boss. He likes basketball so much, and his passion will explode. There is also the problem of the Premier League. Liverpool fans have been very happy recently because their boss'' aura is too strong.


    But considering controlling the team as head of state will have political implications.


    So Liverpool''s equity was transferred to the sports investment company and was no longer held in the name of the Queen. She retreated behind the scenes and let the agent perform her duties. Afterwards, the fans felt that it was a pity, but there was nothing they could do about it. It was indeed inappropriate for the head of state to get involved in controversial sports.


    Now he tries to clarify some things that will lead to his position. A large number of companies held by individuals have been converted into corporate holdings. The several accounts they opened in the offshore financial zone belong to the royal family, which are highly confidential and tax-free. Although such a toss is inconvenient, it can avoid trouble.

 Chapter 452： General election [three more]

    Chapter 452 General Election ��Third Update��


    At the end of May, An Feng finished handling the affairs in the United States.


    Next month is the parliamentary election in Sardinia, and they will have a lot of things to do, so just bring all the luggage and children who are happy not to go to school, and say goodbye to California.


    "Let''s go to the beach!" Alice ran on the grass holding the toy plane.


    Joanna extinguished the little girl''s joy: "When you get there, hurry up and ask your tutor for advice, and master the tricks of being a princess."


    "Oh no!" Alice pouted, the princess''s addiction was over, and her cute little brows kept frowning in the face of the complicated etiquette.


    "Mom." Fred met his mother''s smile, "Am I a prince?"


    "Of course you are, my dear." Joanna squatted down in front of him��her squatting is also exquisite, and it is a must for any woman to prevent exposure. The difference is that she cannot bend down, and the queen''s waist must be straight Straight, especially in public.


    She helped Fred tidy his hair, and the child''s hair is longer. This is a bad idea of ????the father. He had met Roger''s son Edward before. The little guy''s big back is so handsome. He also asked a designer to specialize in Fred. De got his hair long, and his lighter hair suits it well.


    An Feng came over holding two ropes, and the two Welsh corgis were very noisy: "Alice, come and take care of your pet!"


    "Got it!" Alice ran to get the rope.


    "What else is left behind, children?" An Feng looked at the two children, "After the plane takes off, I''m afraid we won''t be able to return until next year."


    "Nope!" Alice didn''t even think about it.


    "Okay, let''s go!" An Feng touched the heads of the two guys, said goodbye to the friends who came to see them off, and gave them some time.


    Finally arrive at Santa Barbara Airport, the goods are sent to the transport plane, people and pets are boarded by the business jet, and fly to Los Angeles. After landing, transfer to the "Queen''s Special Plane" that has been waiting for a long time. The specially customized Boeing 747 painting has already been completed. It looks very beautiful from a distance.


    Stepping on the steps to the cabin, the two children quickly forgot the sadness of parting from their friends, and ran around curiously in the plane, and finally caught the liveliest Alice, pressed her on the seat, and buckled her. Putting on the seat belt, An Feng said to her: "Play after takeoff!"


    "Yes, Dad!" Alice imitated the soldier''s tone.


    ��


    Arrive in Sardinia in the evening, ready to land at the military airport.


    The local airport in Cagliari can theoretically land a Boeing 747 at risk, but the safe distance is not enough to take off. The airport designer did not consider large passenger planes, so they had to turn to the runway of Anshi Industries. Dezimomanu is a former air force base, and the runway is naturally long enough.


    When the plane landed, An Feng and Joanna were discussing the construction of an international airport in the suburbs. The runway should be at least 3.5 kilometers long, and one runway should be built, and open space should be reserved to meet future development needs. They are full of confidence in the future, and Sardinia must be the most developed country.


    ��


    As June approaches, newspapers, television and the Internet are all discussing the general election.


    It is the first parliamentary election in the country, and the real first government will be formed. Their ruling program, future development direction, national defense issues, or issues related to the vital interests of the masses are all being discussed. This is also the key point for MPs to win the hearts and minds of the people.


    Sardinia has a total of eight constituencies. According to the bill signed by the Queen, there will be 35 Senators and 50 Representatives. The number is a bit small, but it is more appropriate for a population of 1.5 million. The party with the majority in the House of Representatives will be the ruling party, with the party leader becoming the prime minister.


    This set is similar to other constitutional monarchy countries.


    The Queen is also concerned about the current situation of the two political parties in the country and understands national politics, but she herself does not have time to collect slowly, and Ms. Roberts will complete this on her behalf. For now, Roberts feels a bit like the queen''s first attendant, sharing a lot of work.


    An Feng was relatively leisurely, he went to check various plans.


    A month ago, two 200,000-ton cargo ships from Australia had docked, and several major overseas bases were basically evacuated. The number of robots of various types in Anshi Industries reached 42,000, and humanoid ones occupied 2,000 units. Others All for special purposes.


    Hal IV modified the robot program and updated the information of the industrial building.


    These robots, originally used in the military, are now part-time "construction workers". There are many places where they need to start work, a large nuclear power plant in the southern peninsula, the Moncalieri Palace in Cagliari, the new parliament building, schools, and another royal residence on the eastern coast.


    There are also construction projects in the north, and office buildings are needed, but they are the work of construction companies.


    In order to coordinate with the overall style of the city, the building does not adopt the skyscrapers of the New York metropolis, but has a similar style, with a baroque and neoclassical atmosphere, usually not high, but very wide. An Feng has seen the architectural renderings, and it fits very well with the original city.


    The current shortage of materials is also signing agreements with new suppliers.


    The first to start construction is the nuclear power plant and the imperial palace. Robots and three-dimensional printers are started at the same time. Not all buildings are printed by machines. Flexible robots can also replace humans, and even better - because they can have many hands, while humans only have two hands. ; They can work 24 hours a day without getting tired, and at most they can recharge their batteries, but humans obviously cannot do non-stop work.


    Eve promises that as long as the building materials are sufficient, she can exert more than ten times the efficiency of humans. Nearly 10,000 robots of various purposes will start working according to the designer''s idea. This efficiency is indeed beyond the reach of humans. It is also almost error-free, accurate to the micron level.


    20,000 units of robots are in operation.


    An Feng can be a supervisor with peace of mind, just like a designer, he will take a few glances on time to ensure that the project is carried out correctly.


    The time came to early June, and the queen announced the start of the parliamentary election.


    Residents from all over the country also began to vote according to their constituencies to choose their favorite congressmen. Both senators and representatives are elected in the same way. It is estimated that the selection model of senators will have to be rectified in the future, but now everything is simplified and carried out in the easiest way. The voting period is seven days.


    A week later, the busy statistics phase begins.


    The results will come out at the end of the month. In the House of Representatives that has attracted the most attention, the result is that the Liberal Party has 40 seats and the People''s Party has 10 seats. The Liberal Party has undoubtedly been elected as the current ruling party, and the leader of the party, Camillo Mancini, will serve as prime minister for a five-year term. After the fourth year, you have the right to apply to the Queen to dissolve Parliament.


    How to understand? In fact, it depends on the political performance after four years. If the political performance is very good and the timing is right, the prime minister will definitely take the opportunity to dissolve the parliament and call for general elections. Therefore, this model will keep the political party in a state of conscientiousness and maintain good performance at all times.


    In the Senate, the Liberal Party is also dominant.


    It can be said that the original party has accumulated a lot of prestige in the hearts of the local people.


    The interview with the TV station got the reason. The residents believed that promoting independence, accepting the constitutional monarchy, and recognizing Joanna''s monarchy were the credit of the Liberal Party.


    The result is that the Liberal Party has been honored by the Queen.


    After the election results come out, the queen will first appoint the prime minister and the list of cabinet ministers she submits, and then the opening ceremony of the parliament will be held on July 10, when the queen will preside over the meeting and read out the new government''s ruling program, legislation and work direction.


    There are quite a lot of things. Before the queen appointed the prime minister and her cabinet, An Feng found time to have a heart-to-heart talk with Mancini.


    Obviously, this kind of heart-to-heart talk is not commonplace.


    Let An Feng come forward, but also pay attention. With the Queen present, the conversation tends to be more... commanding. Although it is a constitutional monarchy, judging by the current popularity of the queen, her words are more effective than anyone else, and almost all voters listen to her. So she came to talk, the current environment is not suitable.


    When An Feng comes to talk, he tends to be more informal.


    In fact, the royal family is also quite tired... An Feng and Mancini took a walk on the lawn outside the hotel, talking about political parties and national affairs.


    Mancini is also aware of An Feng''s purpose. He represents the royal family and the consortium supporting Sardinia behind the scenes.


    Mancini greeted: "How are the two children recently, Your Highness?"


    "It''s not bad, I''m very used to the environment here." An Feng put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sea, "This is a good place, they all like it."


    Mancini said: "The island has a suitable climate and is very suitable for living, and it will be perfect if the economy develops again."


    "You''re right." An Feng nodded, "Since I chose it, I have regarded it as an ideal place to live and enjoy the long years. I have high expectations for this place, and I want to build it into an ideal place. Rich country, can you understand this mentality?"


    "It''s like watching your child grow up in the expected direction." Mancini said, "As a parent, it takes a lot of thought and effort. I can understand His Highness''s ideals, and I have also had a young moment , it��s just environmental restrictions that don��t allow it.��


    An Feng looked at him: "It seems that our views are the same."


    Mancini said: "From the moment I swore allegiance to the Queen, the same point of view is from the perspective of serving the country."


    An Feng nodded: "I hope we can reach a consensus on important matters in the future. I am frankly pursuing perfectionism and like things to develop in an ideal direction, but there will inevitably be incomprehension and even conflicting opinions. I hope Sir can understand."


    Mancini said: "Contribution to the country is admirable, and we support this behavior."


    An Feng stopped and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Mancini, I find it easy and pleasant to talk to you, bless the country!"


    "Bless the Queen!" Mancini shook hands with him.


    The two continued to walk forward talking and laughing, but the topic has changed to a lighter aspect.


    An Feng''s interview with Mancini was nothing more than testing the opponent''s bottom line. In future development, it is impossible for the royal family not to intervene. After all, this is the key first step. If you encounter a stubborn guy who insists on outdated principles, the royal family will also establish its own attitude and support.


    Now the prestige of the government in the hearts of the masses is not as high as that of the queen. She is the core of the whole country. Once she is dissatisfied with the government, judging by the support of the people, even if she removes the prime minister and dissolves the parliament, she will not be opposed. But very well, Mancini''s choice is very wise.


    In his opinion, there is no choice here. If you want to develop, besides the royal family has this ability, what else?


    Therefore, cooperating with the actions of the royal family is the key link for them to achieve political achievements and the country''s good development. No one will have trouble with the queen on this point.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 453： opening of parliament

    Chapter 453 Opening of Parliament


    Not only Mancini, but all politicians and people know that the future of the country lies in the royal family. Looking at the economic construction and investment of large enterprises these days, there is not a single item that does not have the shadow of the royal family, or their indirect influence. If you want to live better, you must rely on them.


    In a special period, regime and kingship do not have to be clearly distinguished.


    An Feng actually doesn��t want to care so much. He is lazy and just wants to live a comfortable life, but without a suitable designer, the ideal country is not easy to realize. In the first few years of national construction, some major policy decisions needed to be reviewed and cared for, plus appropriate reminders.


    After the general election, the queen officially appoints the prime minister and the cabinet she proposes.


    The more important ones in the cabinet are the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Justice, and the future Ministry of Defense. Other ministers are also nominated on the basis of the previous government, and the foundation is somewhat weak. Some ministers are even temporarily vacant and filled by others. Continue to expand.


    The inauguration ceremony was held in the local palace. The scene was very serious and the content was very simple. The queen sat gracefully, and the officials of the parliament who came came up straight and read the appointed decrees aloud. The queen seemed to listen carefully, but every time she finished reading a decree, her answer was only the same: approval.


    Although the royal family does not completely follow the traditional route, it still has to have the basic form.


    After the appointment ceremony, the next arrangement is the opening ceremony of the parliament, scheduled for July 10th. The time is short, but the preparation time is still very tight. According to the designed route, the queen will take a carriage from the gate of the palace along the road to the former provincial parliament and now the temporary parliament building.


    Many firsts in this country are worthy of attention.


    So Joanna also prepared carefully and rehearsed at home. Butler Brandon and Ms. Roberts designed the entrance ceremony, the attitude of the queen, the position of the prince, the details in charge, and the carriage according to the layout in the parliament. travel time etc.


    Before the parliamentary elections, preparations have already begun.


    Important cavalry and carriages must be trained in advance, and it is impossible to rush in July. With so many people watching, if any accident happens, the queen will suffer any harm, and the country and the royal family will lose face. So start training at the end of May.


    The good news is that the local equestrian culture is profound. Every year there is a horse racing festival, where traditional medieval duels are staged. There are also a lot of highly skilled people. Volunteers with the best temperament have been selected and they will be specially trained. Then they will guest star as the queen The royal cavalry leading the way.


    ��


    Joanna is so busy that even the children know not to disturb her.


    An Feng undertook the task of reception and took time to receive relatives and friends, including his parents and sister. They wanted to come to appreciate the Queen''s grace, and secondly, to bring support. Other friends who were free because their children were on summer vacation also participated in this grand event. The scale of the opening of Parliament will be grand.


    Friends have increased, and children have playmates, so they no longer pester An Feng.


    Cousin Xiaoyu''s arrival is very popular with the children, and now it''s her turn to deal with Alice. Alice is nine years old this year. She is more mature in stature and intelligence, and is no longer as easy to fool as before. Fortunately, her cousin can always make her obedient and be a good example.


    Among the expectations of the outside world, the tenth day of July ushered in. The street that the queen was going to pass was crowded with people, and there were dense crowds on both sides. Many people didn''t go to work that day, so they came to the capital to watch the ceremony. Cagliari has a population of about 500,000, but there are at least 700,000 people in the city.


    This has already accounted for half of the country''s population, and the rest of the people are also guarding in front of the TV.


    With the development of modern technology, live broadcasting is very easy. From the Queen''s carriage to the gate of the Parliament, there are more than 600 meters of distance, but there are more than a dozen cameras. The surrounding area is also the most crowded.


    Accompanied by An Feng, the carriage of the Queen of Sardinia appeared. At the front are two rows of sword-wielding cavalry. The horses march forward at a steady pace. Behind them is the royal carriage pulled by horses of one color. Four batches of horses head for their destination at a steady pace.


    The coachmen were all dressed up grandly, and there were guards with swords at the rear of the car. The black crowd on both sides of the street cheered. The queen in the carriage looked out the window and raised her hand from time to time to greet her. Some passers-by were performing traditional etiquette, men bowed and nodded, women bowed their knees and saluted.


    Reporters or tourists from abroad, seeing this scene, felt that the Queen''s prestige is really extraordinary. It just made this country, which has been separated from the monarchy for many years, recall the set of etiquette of its ancestors. It seems fanatical, but the reason behind it is reasonable, so I have to accept it.


    Even foreign tourists are saluting.


    Half of these are affected by the emotions of the crowd, and the other half are out of gratitude to the Anshi couple. Perhaps their relatives were saved in the disaster last year. Now they come here in person to witness and send greetings and thanks , the scene is like going back in time.


    Finally, the slow carriage arrived at the parliament building amidst cheers.


    The car door was opened, and the queen in full costume got out of the car. The camera pans to her, in a gold-embroidered silk gown that falls just above the knee, without respecting tradition or transgressing boundaries. She is tall and has long legs, and the appropriate high heels show her unique charm.


    In addition to the dress, she also had to wear the "imperial robe", which was light yellow in color, a little off-white, draped over her shoulders, and buckled in front of her chest. The yellow robe had a very long back and needed two attendants to help carry it. After she got down, she stood facing the camera for a few seconds, and suddenly she showed her kingly demeanor.


    The cheers from the surrounding crowd exploded.


    An Feng also stepped out of the carriage, and his attire was not too grand. The uniform was custom-made in England, with elements of the traditional royal family. It was a black-breasted uniform with epaulets, armbands and ribbons. He wore white gloves and shouted loudly after getting off the carriage. Without stopping, he was responsible for holding the queen''s left hand.


    The action of holding hands is a bit like inviting a lady to dance, but this time it is a serious entrance ceremony. The faces of the two people remain solemn, and they are escorted into the chamber by the guards. The House of Representatives was full of spectators, the sides were dark and dense, and the crowd was all dressed in suits.


    Walked slowly through the aisle, came to the throne prepared at the front, turned around and sat down.


    Other members of the Senate and House of Representatives and senior government officials also sat down in turn. The surrounding cameras were aimed at the stage, and some of them swept across the audience. The atmosphere was very grand. At the same time, an attendant was holding the newly formulated policy agenda and delivered it to the queen. She opened it and glanced at it.


    The content is bilingually written in English and Italian, both of which have the same meaning. The Queen needs to read both at the same time. Naturally, there is no problem with English, but she does not understand the meaning of Italian. But it doesn''t matter, whether it''s French, Spanish, Italian or other similar languages, you can spell it out correctly without understanding the meaning at all, or even recite it with eloquence.


    The queen began to read the government''s policy policy.


    Because it is a new country, there are many contents, mainly including economic construction, social welfare and education, energy and national defense construction. The content Joanna has practiced many times. She is proficient in both English and Italian, and she can frequently raise her head to face the audience.


    The viewers in front of the TV are very concerned about the government''s policy points.


    This program represents the government''s plan for the next two to three years. The construction of the country and the economy is the first priority to ensure stability and development. The welfare of the society is related to the people, and it is a measure to win the favor of voters. Among the remaining education issues, the reform is very important because it involves English education.


    In economic policy, there is another important "currency". The currency issued by the central bank is the Sardinian dollar, which is issued according to the domestic economic situation. However, since the country has just been established, the value of the currency is based on gold and reliance on the euro. It will take some time to gradually stabilize the exchange rate.


    In order to prevent some capitalists with malicious intentions, experts in the financial field of the consortium provided a lot of advice and help, and foreign capital is also actively buying government bonds. This game is led by An Feng and participated by the consortium, so they are very concerned about this matter. Things are concerned.


    The energy issue has always been a national shortage. After the entry of Anshi Industry, the National Power Resources Company has been developing rapidly, so it is only aimed at ensuring the supply of electricity in the two years before the arrival of nuclear energy. The remaining national defense is naturally a matter of the army, and the queen has to grant powers.


    After the reading, Joanna glanced across the audience and said loudly: "I hope my new government can bring new hope to the country, lead the people on the right path, keep up with the trend of world economic development, and create A bright future with sustainable development!"


    There was applause at the scene, Joanna finished her speech, and the ceremony attendant around her announced the Queen''s exit.


    Following another grand exit ceremony, the audience stood up and watched as Joanna, accompanied by An Feng, left the parliament. For the rest of the time, the two houses will decide the time and content of the meeting, and the prime minister will also participate in the parliamentary decision-making... But None of this has anything to do with the Queen.


    Leaving the parliament building, the carriage returned to the palace with a high profile under the lead of the royal cavalry.


    Nearly half a month of practice preparation is for this short moment, the couple have worked hard, it''s really not easy.


    But judging by the reaction of the crowd, they were very successful.


    On the way, the crowd was still sending them off warmly. Joanna, who was in a good mood in the carriage, also frequently waved to them in response. Many people saw her smile, which was brilliant from the heart, because Joanna had just arrived from Anfeng. From what I heard, her performance was exemplary.


    The audience on the side of the road is also walking around, and the whistle comes.


    On the way back in the car, An Feng said: "The coronation will be in four months, are you ready?"


    "No problem." Joanna nodded and said, "You have to support me."


    "I will be the first to pledge allegiance to you." An Feng said, "Your Majesty the Queen!"


    Joanna is satisfied: "You''ve learned well!"


    "You taught it yourself, isn''t it alright?" An Feng smiled and put his arms around her, "Don''t worry, with so many people supporting you, I predict that you will be as successful as today, use your own aura to control everything, and show your respect to everyone." The world declares that this is your people''s greatest trust in you!"

 Chapter 454： crown prince candidates

    Chapter 454 Crown Prince Candidate


    In the first ten days of July, the date has been determined.


    The coronation of the Queen of Sardinia is scheduled for October 25th. After more than half a year of preparations...arrangements are still tight. Joanna had just withdrawn from a series of administrative tasks, and had to prepare non-stop for the coronation ceremony. Invitation letters signed by her were also sent out.


    The queen''s invitation letter is sent to the royal families of various countries, inviting its members to come to watch the ceremony.


    On the surface, European countries have nothing to do with each other, but if someone is familiar with European history, the royal family is actually more or less related, and the marriage situation is very common. At the time of the Habsburg dynasty, the Austrians did not say "let me be stupid �� Let''s go to war, let''s get married!"


    The results of it?


    Members of the Habsburg family became the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, the grand duke and emperor of Austria, the kings of Hungary, Bohemia, Spain, etc., the emperor of Mexico, and their family branches. They relied on reproduction to rule the idea of ??Europe.


    The European relationship spectrum is very messy. King George I of England is a German. The German nation once had a French-speaking monarch. Empress Wu Zetian (Ekaterina II) of Russia is actually the daughter of the Duke of Germany and Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. , known as the grandmother of the European royal family...


    When the King of the Netherlands was enthroned last time, people from constitutional monarchy countries all over the world came. In addition to Europe, royal families from the Middle East and Asia were also present. In a way, their connection is strong. And as a brand-new young royal family who is more like a joke, there is pressure.


    After all, the issue of connections is not to be publicly mentioned, but to be privately paid attention to.


    The good news is that there are no words to describe the influence of the Anns. They saved Europe and the whole world. The guests confirmed early on were the royal families of the United Kingdom, Qatar and Dubai. Now that the official invitations are sent out, they all get very positive answers.


    It also proves that this young royal family is being recognized by others.


    "Approval" isn''t worth a dime, but sometimes, playing solo can be boring. A new royal family needs to play with other friends. The truth is simple, but it can also be complicated. In short, a good first step has been taken so far, and many royal families will participate.


    The face problem is resolved, but the pressure is even greater.


    With so many members of the royal family participating in the coronation ceremony, the repair work of the church must be in place, the arrangement of seats must be exquisite, and the residences where VIPs stay must pay attention to customs. In addition, there are also requirements for the participants. Needless to say, the queen is under pressure, and the others are not easy.


    Because they belong to the royal generation, their parents, relatives and friends have nothing to do with the royal family. At most, Joanna��s mother Kelly has noble blood, and the offspring of the Stanwell family will also be on the sidelines. Others are not easy on themselves, at least Clothing and etiquette must pass.


    In July, An Feng''s parents and relatives were all present. The purpose this time was not to play, but to study. The whole family, young and old, mobilizes and hires designers to design all kinds of dresses according to the figure and appearance. Jewelry is also particular, and even the children have to pay attention to dressing up.


    Time is still too tight, and Joanna feels that she has two years to prepare properly.


    But the invitation has already been sent out, obviously there is no regrets anymore.


    An Feng spent one billion euros for this coronation ceremony��this is definitely the most wealthy royal family.


    The royal families in other countries have to be supported by the government and spend taxpayers�� money, which has also led to a voice in constitutional monarchy countries, ��Why do you still have a family that wastes taxpayers�� money?�� Now, all activities are paid out of pocket.


    Including the royal palace of the former Sardinian dynasty, the royal family also pays government fees on a one-year lease.


    Even, the royal family has to support the entire country.


    The outside world who knows the truth, if you think about it carefully, you can understand why the government obeys the royal family and why the residents support the queen.


    Recent polls are strong evidence that the royal support rate has reached an unprecedented 99% in the world-infinitely close to perfect. This also made the European royal families drool with envy, but it is incomparable. They are super local tyrants, and they don''t even blink when they spend hundreds of billions of dollars!


    ��


    In August, when the whole family mobilization is in progress.


    Although there is still some time before the coronation ceremony, according to the normal schedule, there is really not much free time. Clothing, jewelry and jewelry are all being customized. Tutors from all over the world have invited a row, and all kinds of speech and elegant behavior are instilled like brainwashing with.


    Even An Feng''s mother prepared a booklet, which she can read at any time as a memo.


    His parents can still adapt. They have seen countless scenes in the luxurious and rich life over the years. The old man has his own considerations. In order not to embarrass his children, he has participated in many high-end courses and has a certain foundation. Poor parents all over the world are thinking about their children.


    Xiaoyu and Andy, two young people, have flexible brains and advantages, and are the fastest learners. Up to now, they have been able to serve as role models for everyone, showing their true demeanor. They even imitated the church environment in the living room on their own initiative, calling everyone Rehearse in advance.


    Anfeng��s friends from all walks of life also came to participate in it.


    The king of a country has appeared in the circle of friends, and it is certain that they will attend the ceremony. Especially the friends of the consortium. Now the big boss of the consortium is the emperor, and at the same time paving the way for the future of the consortium.


    Both Bazel and Fransson are of noble origin and have many ideas. Regarding the problem of the palace, although it will not be used frequently, after the ceremony, there will be a ball here, and the royal families from all over the world will be present. They invite masters and strive for perfection on the basis.


    The only ones who are relaxed are probably the children.


    During his busy schedule, two children, Alice and Fred, were playing with pets.


    Matthew said to the girl riding the tiger: "Alice, do you think riding on a tiger is suitable for a princess and future crown prince?"


    "Fine," said Alice, "and I don''t want to be queen."


    "Why?" Matthew asked, because according to inheritance habits, the elder inherits, and there is no doubt that it is Alice.


    Alice let go of the tiger, a little reasoning: "Being a queen is so tiring, look at mom! She doesn''t have time to say more than five sentences in a row with me."


    "Is that the reason?" Matthew laughed.


    "Of course." The little girl nodded, then said sadly, "Five days in a row! Isn''t that enough?"


    People who heard this sentence couldn''t help but smile, but for children, it is indeed enough. Joanna said to Alice: "Are you sure?"


    "I''m sure." Alice nodded continuously.


    Assistant Roberts came over and whispered something in her ear, Joanna looked at Alice: "Sorry, honey, I still have something to deal with."


    "It''s okay." Alice said "very mindful" on her face.


    Joanna touched her hair with a smile, and after leaving with her assistant, Alice looked at everyone again, and said as expected: "Did you see it?"


    "You have to understand her. After this period of time, she will be free." An Feng said patiently, "If you really don''t like it, don''t regret it later."


    "Definitely not," she said. "Leave it to Fred."


    Fred, who was lying on the gun, raised his head and opened his mouth to argue, but he still didn''t complain...he didn''t like it either.


    An Feng looked at the two children with very different personalities, and nodded their heads with his fingers: "Tell your mother when she is free at night!"


    The matter of the crown prince really needs to be carefully considered.


    ��


    afternoon.


    An Feng took Joanna away who was practicing Italian conversation. The reason was simple: "Come with me for a walk."


    All the attendants, experiencing the prince''s arrogance for the first time, transferred their queen away with one sentence.


    "I''m going to change," she said.


    An Feng gave her the sunglasses and hat: "That''s it!"


    A convertible Phantom was parked at the door, with a white body and a rear-opening door design... It was the car that An Feng often drove in California many years ago.


    An Feng opened the car door for her, and she sat in the passenger seat.


    Start the car and leave, cross the city very simply, drive along the coastal road to the east coast, the sun is shining overhead.


    Leaving the noisy city, Joanna''s mood also improved.


    "I have never discovered such a beautiful road here!" She opened her hands, her hair flying, letting the sea breeze blow.


    An Feng smiled, he knew how to make her relax and happy.


    Joanna looked at the sky: "This place combines the scenery of Highway 1 with the tranquility of a small European town."


    Pass through a quiet coastal town, then climb up the mountain, drive on the winding mountain road, look at the scenery where the sea meets the sky, and come to the next leisurely town, drive through the quiet streets, experience the rare tranquility, and continue to leave , Ushering in the winding mountain road of freedom...


    Finally, they stopped at an open space beside the road halfway up the mountain, and the two of them sat together on a stone. There was a city at the foot of the mountain, and the vast ocean in the distance.


    Joanna said: "This is the most relaxing day I have ever had!"


    "Landscape requires eyes that are good at discovering." An Feng said, "You''ve been too tired recently, adjust yourself."


    "You don''t know there is always..." Before she finished speaking, An Feng pressed her lips with his fingers, "I don''t think it''s good to talk about work at this time."


    Joanna smiled and leaned against him.


    Looking at the scenery quietly together, time passed unknowingly. After a while, An Feng talked about the crown prince: "How do you think it should be decided?"


    "Alice obviously doesn''t like it." Joanna looked up from his arms, "Should I change it to Fred? Anyway, the Crown Prince hasn''t decided yet."


    "Isn''t this contrary to your concept of feminism?" An Feng said.


    In Wikipedia, Joanna''s occupation is "Queen". In addition, she is also a philanthropist and a defender of women''s equal rights. She championed equality between men and women, and pushed for reforms in matters of inheritance, career choice, and even family names for future generations.


    "But this is different. The royal family is endowed with more meaning than it appears on the surface." Joanna sighed, "I know that absolute equality is impossible."


    An Feng knows that absolute equality is impossible, and most women cannot do firefighters, miners and other jobs that pay great attention to physical fitness. In addition, women are relatively weak in marriage, and the man is more dominant. The royal inheritance is fine, but what about the astronomical assets behind it?


    This throne is related to the use of economic privileges-connected to a huge financial group.


    An Feng proposed: "Establish male inheritance priority, or the queen chooses the more enlightened one? If you don''t like it, you can skip the free selection of the next generation."


    After thinking about it, Joanna nodded, "Maybe it really is going to be like this."

 Chapter 455： nervous preparation

    Chapter 455 Intense preparations


    Stayed until the afternoon, Joanna suggested: "Shall we go to San Elmo?"


    An Feng found that the distance was also close, so he decided to go.


    Driving to the small coastal town on the map, it was as calm as ever, surrounded by a large green grassland, with pets running on it and children chasing after it.


    Their 80-acre house was built at a slightly slower pace because the robots were mostly taking care of the Palazzo Moncalieri, which was in the process of bulldozing the land to plant trees and laying foundations for the building. The construction site was very peaceful in the evening, and the locals only worked eight hours a day, resting the rest of the time.


    An Feng just drove around and didn''t even need to get out of the car.


    "I wish it would be faster!" Joanna said. "It''s going to be like before, I''m afraid it won''t be finished until the kids have a generation gap with us."


    "It''s not that serious, I''ll give you a surprise." An Feng turned around and took another winding road back.


    There is a characteristic of the mountain roads in this area. The design of the road is curved, and certain road sections require high driving skills. Even Anfeng has to be careful when running for the first time, but the local drivers are often very relaxed, and even pass quickly by holding the steering wheel with one hand. Yes, just leave them with a taillight.


    An Feng said: "I found that besides the sunshine, beaches and beautiful roads, what is similar to California is the driving style of drivers."


    "And you guy who drives a convertible all day!" Joanna continued.


    "I like this kind of day." An Feng said with a smile, "Look, there is a tunnel ahead, please close your eyes, ma''am."


    "Why?" She closed her eyes.


    "Because..." An Feng turned on the headlights and entered the tunnel, "I want to kiss you secretly."


    "Sweet mouth." She smiled.


    An Feng drove the car back to the outskirts of the city and turned towards the town of Moncalieri. When he arrived at the destination, Joanna asked in surprise, "Isn''t this true?"


    In front of her is a bustling and busy scene. Countless machines are moving. There are huge robotic hands like stone pillars and small porters like pet dogs. Looking at the past, they are densely packed, like ant nests. Each unit performs its own duties, closely knit Cooperate, there is no idle time at all.


    "Surprise?" An Feng asked her to get out of the car, took off his coat, and put it on her.


    "How did you do it?" Joanna took a few steps forward, "It feels like coming to the machine empire in the movie."


    An Feng introduced to her: "There are more than 12,000 robots here, some of which are parts of large-scale 3D printers. Look at the robotic arm and the grinding machine over there, they are both part of the printer and part of the intelligent machine. Along with other engineer droids, controlled by Eve."


    "Can she handle it?" Joanna asked.


    "Of course there is no problem. She has the fastest and most powerful brain in the world. Even if the number is 10,000 times larger, she can control every unit methodically. In the current mode, every unit is like her extended brain. Fingers, execute with the highest coordination efficiency."


    "It''s hard to imagine." Joanna felt dazzled, and the division of labor of the robot was too fine.


    "People work eight hours a day. People are independent and have limited efficiency. But what about machines? It can work 24 hours a day. More than 10,000 units as a whole work seamlessly and comprehensively. They work for a month. , comparable to ten months of human beings."


    Joanna looked at the huge palace that had already been erected in front of her. At present, countless robots are adding bricks and tiles to its construction. It is almost a daily change. With this kind of efficiency, I am afraid that it is really like what An Feng said before, 90% of it can be done in half a year. Content.


    And the rest is what the machine lacks.


    Although they can be quickly prototyped, humans are better at artistic processing, such as some giant ceiling paintings, the matching art of internal buildings, and the style concept of each area... These all require the creativity of humans, and it is difficult for computers to imitate .


    Joanna extended from the scene in front of her to other aspects: "Then you did the same for the other main buildings?"


    An Feng nodded: "Yes, the focus is on efficiency. The only thing that is in short supply at the moment is energy. We still have to rely on the electricity provided by Italy. The operation of robots consumes a lot of electricity. If there is an independent energy supply, I can make more Robots are involved in the construction."


    "You are about to change the world into another look." Joanna said.


    "It was created just for you and your family." An Feng stood beside her, "Wait a little longer, this place will become a miraculous place!"


    ��


    National construction was not left behind, An Feng took a large part of it, Joanna could be her queen without worrying about anything else. In this respect, An Feng is the backing that always gives support, the man standing behind the successful woman.


    In the evening the family had dinner together, after which Joanna made time to chat with the two children.


    As expected, they were not very interested in the matter of the crown prince. Alice insisted on being a princess. In her opinion, a princess is more popular than a queen. I have never seen fairy tales that start with a princess and a prince, and then become a princess. Is it all kinds of romance and a happy ending?


    So Alice resolutely: "I just want to be a princess!"


    "Being a princess at sixty?" An Feng joked.


    "Sixty..." Alice imagined the appearance of sixty in her heart, "Yes, I want to do it too!"


    "Dad!" She dragged her voice and turned to Joanna: "Mother Queen��"


    "Don''t call your mother that outside." An Feng hugged her on his lap, "Well, let our Alice be a princess forever!"


    "Nor do I, Daddy," Fred said.


    An Feng nodded: "Of course, you are a boy, you can''t be a princess."


    "I mean the queen," he wailed.


    "This doesn''t work either!" An Feng smiled and shook his head, "You should be the king, remember?"


    "Oh." Little geniuses sometimes get confused, especially when they don''t know much about things, "I don''t want to be a king."


    "What''s your reason?" Joanna looked at him.


    Fred played with his fingers and looked up to his mother: "It''s not a good thing if my sister doesn''t like it."


    "That''s because my sister wants to be a princess forever, do you want to too?" Joanna continued to ask.


    "I don''t want to." Fred shook his head resolutely, "I don''t want to be a princess!"


    "Then you don''t want to be a princess forever, do you want to be a king?" Joanna continued.


    Fred thought about it, and logically connected: "Yes."


    "Got it," Joanna said.


    Fred looked at them and felt something went wrong in a certain link, and things should not be like this.


    An Feng said: "Don''t worry, you can still be a prince and princess for a long, long time. When you grow up, let''s discuss these things, okay?"


    The two children are very unified: "Okay."


    ��


    After the crown prince is settled, the next step is the child''s schooling.


    Seven kilometers away from Moncalieri, in a small town called Petrie, it took six months to build a primary school. Although its name was just Petrie Primary School, the residents knew that it was a private school invested by the royal family. In the future, there will be private public schools covering secondary schools.


    In September, the two children will have to go to school.


    There are currently 100 students in Petrie Primary School. According to An Feng''s unoptimistic estimate, there are only two students. However, with the title of the royal family, and after letting the residents experience the demeanor of the queen, it set off a round of yearning for the education of gentlemen and ladies, and there are still many students.


    The country has established English as one of the official languages. It is recommended to use bilingual languages ??in public places. In addition, many foreign companies have settled in. With the arrival of foreign immigrants in the future, learning English will be recognized by prescient parents, and they will arrange their children to come to this school for education.


    The tuition fee is naturally higher, but it is acceptable, and the environment is very good. The teachers are from the UK, and the teaching content has been improved. On the basis of the original, education experts have added some open courses that stimulate children''s creativity, concentrating the essence of Britain and the United States. stand up.


    On the first day of school, An Feng personally sent them there.


    After returning from school at 3 o��clock in the afternoon, the two children were sharing the interesting things they met today, the new friends they made, etc. Most of the children in their age group mainly play and make friends. Although there are some language problems, But there are also children who can speak English.


    The children can adapt to the new environment, and they are relieved.


    Currently turning the focus to the coronation ceremony, the time is getting closer and everyone is getting busy.


    Joanna has been rehearsing in the living room of the hotel, getting familiar with the complex process over and over again, and then modifying the difficult and unnecessary details according to the time-they are not the British royal family with a deep tradition, there is no need to be so complicated, they can keep it simple .


    Then, she has to get used to the gown that requires four people to hem it back. The gown is currently being produced quickly, but it will not be completed until at least October. Now she uses a quilt cover instead of training��the quilt of the double bed, which just fits the royal robe The backswing is similar. And to fit the tiara, which weighed eight pounds of platinum, diamonds, pearls, and gemstones, she had to exercise her neck muscles.


    An Feng also had to adapt to this process, including preparing some gifts and medals. As the host monarch, he also had to pay attention to the etiquette of giving gifts to the guests who came to watch the ceremony. Plus, he''s feeling just as nervous reciting his pledge of allegiance to the Queen as he was getting married.


    Even grand and complicated, far surpassing their marriage.


    They did not choose to get married in a church before, but this time it must be a church. Both the scene and the guests present have a higher class. He can only adapt tirelessly, leaving a perfect memory for her people and a vibrant face for the whole world.


    The invited VIPs are also preparing in various places. According to some people''s ideas, if they consider naturalization in Sardinia in the future, the corresponding queen will knight them, so the current appearance can be regarded as an advance notice on important occasions. The members of the consortium are all looking forward to it.


    In terms of other details, the horses, cavalry, and royal guard of honor in the church that participated in the ceremony had to be trained repeatedly to show a good mental outlook to guests from other countries. This is a matter of national honor, and it is rare for the face-saving Italian nation to work hard this time.


    The whole city is preparing for the coronation and the celebration after the ceremony. On the day the Queen announces her coronation, there will be a national holiday and celebrations funded by the royal family will be held in every corner of the capital. In addition, flowers and ribbons are used to redecorate the city, so that every area is full of joy and joy. The budget here is 300 million euros, which is also conducive to stimulating the economy.


    In October, Sardinia was immersed in joy everywhere.

 Chapter 456： queen crowned

    Chapter 456 Queen''s Coronation


    The much-anticipated day finally came.


    The ceremony is scheduled for the morning of the 25th in a newly renovated church. But in the early hours of the morning, there were already more than 200,000 people waiting on the streets. They spread newspapers and brought their own quilts on the only way the Queen''s carriage must pass, and launched a massive occupying operation.


    After one o''clock in the morning, there are no more vacant seats on either side of the street.


    The temperature at night is dropping, a little cold, but it can''t drive away enthusiastic people. The TV station took to the streets to interview, and they all expressed that they hoped to witness the most unprecedented event in the country with their own eyes, and also hoped that the coronation of Queen Joanna would bring new good luck to the country.


    According to the statistics of the immigration management department, more than 100,000 foreign tourists arrived the day before the coronation ceremony. According to statistics, by the early morning of the 25th, there were already more than 1.5 million people in Cagliari.


    It is three times the resident population. Since the day of the coronation is a holiday, it is the farthest northern region, only two to three hundred kilometers away from the capital, and the number of people coming by car is still increasing. Cagliari''s congestion was caused, coupled with foreign tourists, the scale was even larger.


    This city, decorated with flowers and colorful flags, is now so congested that even the police couldn��t predict it, so they had to temporarily dispatch police and volunteers to the streets to maintain order on the roads. In the parks around the city, people gather and giant screens are about to broadcast live video.


    On this day, the crowning of the queen is also the most discussed.


    Whether it is a local resident or a foreign tourist, the emotions are very warm. The country naturally celebrates their queen, and the foreign tourists are all out of gratitude. Their feat of saving the world is still remembered by countless people. Now "honorary citizens" Be there in person.


    At eight o''clock in the morning, guests dressed in costumes entered the venue.


    The local cathedral has two rows of seats with a spacious aisle in the middle, but these are not enough to deal with a large number of guests. The most front vacant seats are specially arranged to face the aisle, one side is prepared for VIPs, and the other side Prepare for the royal families who are invited to come.


    On the stage above the VIP area, there is the only throne.


    The guests at the traditional seats are the first to enter the venue. Most of them are local residents, including senior officials, congressmen, or residents who were lucky enough to be drawn, as well as some foreign visitors. They arrived around eight o''clock, but the ceremony was held at ten o''clock, so they had to wait patiently.


    After nine o''clock, the VIPs will enter. Most of them are relatives and friends and foreign VIPs. The relatives and friends are naturally friends from all walks of life who came here to support. The main members of the consortium are basically present, and the friends of An Feng and Joanna are also there; the foreign VIPs are political figures, retired politicians, etc.


    The live broadcast has begun, and more than thirty cameras will record the event.


    The on-site director and the TV station were also very busy. The chief director only slept for three hours last night. This was the first time he took on such a major task. He couldn''t calm down and couldn''t fall asleep. So he got up and memorized the process again. So that I can rest assured.


    After 9:20, the main event of the first round begins.


    First of all, it is naturally the owner''s house, who arrived at the gate of the cathedral under the welcome of the black and solemn Maserati.


    Parents, immediate relatives of both parties, as well as the little prince and princess appeared one by one. The two children walked in the front. Fred was in a small suit and tuxedo, with long hair combed back. His handsome appearance drew cheers from the surrounding crowd. Alice was in a red dress, which she managed to manage so cutely.


    I follow parents and immediate family members. The men are uniformed in suits and dresses, and the women are more free to play.


    After the host''s house enters the venue, the invited foreign royal family members arrive.


    Maserati was driving on the road surrounded by countless tourists, with the national flags of Sardinia and the representative country on the front of the car. Inside the car were members of the royal family sent by various countries, most of them were the crown prince and his wife. The vehicle stopped smoothly at the end of the red carpet, and the special personnel opened the door.


    The royal families of various countries who were invited to attend appeared in costumes with the characteristics of each country.


    They also specially stayed on the red carpet for a few seconds, leaving it for the camera to shoot, like walking on the red carpet.


    The crown princes of various countries are generally over forty years old, and they are waiting for the most torturous days of the throne... Most of the European royal families are present, and there are also people from Asia. After all, there are only a small number of constitutional monarchy countries in the world, and they usually invite each other for any major events.


    This time, the host monarch prepared ribbons and medals of honor in dozens of styles and colors for the distinguished guests. The medal is familiar to everyone, and the ribbon, it is large - from the shoulder to the belly, and there is a cross knot at the end. It''s a bit like the straps that hang diagonally from hostesses.


    But this ribbon is generally reserved for the royal family, not for ordinary people and nobles, which is generally the case in Europe.


    Lady''s ribbons are mostly worn on the outside, and occasionally a brooch is pinned on it. The clothes that men have to see through, if it is the navy uniform of the British royal family, the ribbon is on the outside, and various medals are on the other side; if it is a suit and dress, the ribbon is on the inside, only a small part is exposed.


    The matching of ribbons and clothes is sometimes very troublesome.


    The first wave of the main event has already let the audience lead the way of the royal family in the world. Everyone commented on the appearance of the crown princes and princesses of various countries. Occasionally, there are some unconventional ones, such as the royal families from Africa and the Middle East. They are more traditional and awarded medals. And ribbons are not used.


    After the royal families of various countries have entered the venue, the ceremony is about to begin.


    About five minutes later, at the entrance of the Cagliari Palace, a royal cavalry team in red and black uniforms appeared. The horses advanced in two rows, and the horses were full of serious-looking cavalry with swords on their backs. With the royal carriage drawn by four horses, the sound of cheers began to sound.


    Both sides of the road were crowded with excited people, and there was no end in sight.


    The queen in a plain white dress and the prince in a custom-made suit are both in the carriage, looking out the window, occasionally raising their hands in greeting.


    Although this scene may only last a dozen or so seconds, it took them a whole night of waiting.


    In a short distance of less than one kilometer, more than 200,000 people cheered from the beginning to the end, and the cameras on the road kept following them. The surrounding lively events were broadcast live by TV stations, synchronized in Sardinia, and in some interested countries in the world. Sync, sync on the web.


    Small country, but a truly worldwide event.


    After the journey full of cheers and whistles, the carriage arrived at the gate of the cathedral, and the surrounding guards were waiting in full force, because the scene of the queen getting off the carriage was seen, the crowd was already boiling, and the soldiers were nervously staring at the crowd. At critical moments, it is not allowed Accident!


    An Feng got out of the car first, followed by Joanna. In addition to her skirt, she also wore a royal robe that required four people to lift her back. After she stood firmly, An Feng held her four fingers with his right hand. , placed on the abdomen, and walked slowly into the church under the open path of the guard of honor in front.


    They were watched by countless people on the spot and in front of the TV.


    This feeling and pressure is N times greater than when they got married more than ten years ago, but for one day, they have already practiced the solemn expression of flattery and humiliation, and they calmly deal with this sacred scene. The aisle in the middle of the cathedral is about 60 meters long. , It took more than a minute to finish.


    Stopped in front of the throne, but couldn''t go up, the ceremoniously dressed faculty and staff surrounded them.


    An Feng stood beside him. Behind him were his relatives. The two children stared at him seriously. On Joanna, staring at the scene.


    The bishop took off the robe on her body, and inside was a long white dress with carved patterns and hollow arms.


    Archbishop Francody, together with the queen''s clothing attendants, presented a real golden royal robe and personally added the queen''s royal robe. Unlike the previous long-swinging robe, this robe is more inclined to a burqa, It has to be cinched from the waist and looks similar to a long coat.


    Then, the archbishop continued to take the second piece of clothing from the attendant: the holy garment. The archbishop and the attendants put on Joanna the solemn holy garment. An Feng and everyone witnessed the queen''s royal robe and the holy shawl. The church was not loud, but there was already applause outside.


    Finally, the archbishop begins to lead the queen towards the throne.


    She walked up the steps slowly, and the female attendant followed her and lifted the back of the holy garment for her. When she came to the stage, she turned to face the audience. After about two seconds, he slowly sat on the throne of the throne.


    It was very serious, and the solemn process made countless people hold their breaths. Joanna''s expression was always confident.


    The ceremony came to the second stage. The archbishop took a sword from the attendant and offered it to the queen with both hands. She raised the sword. This scene symbolized royal power and serving God. This carefully forged sword will also be the monarch''s sword dedicated to the Queen''s honors and knighthoods in the future.


    The archbishop took the sword from the queen''s hand and read out the meaning of the sword.


    Then the cross was presented, which is the emblem of imperial power. The queen held the cross and continued to listen to the archbishop''s reading.


    Presenting the heavy crown with the two priests, the archbishop continued to read the responsibilities and obligations to the queen before picking up the crown. This is also equivalent to the queen''s oath. God''s spokesperson exercises rights.


    After Joanna finished answering, the archbishop in a grand gown held the crown studded with diamonds and precious stones in both hands and held it up high. Numerous eyes and cameras focused on the scene. He put the crown on the Queen''s head and read aloud: "Joanna The queen is your undisputed queen!"


    "Long live!" The audience shouted.


    The shouts came from An Feng and Joanna''s relatives and friends. He didn''t expect this scene, but watching the ceremony outside the park, the audience in front of the TV also shouted in unison. This sentence responded instantly, reflecting the power of Joanna''s popularity, and it was also recorded and broadcast all over the world.


    The ceremony entered the final stage.


    An Feng stepped forward steadily, the queen watched him, and the attendant put down the cushion in front of him, An Feng knelt down on one knee, shook her hand, and swore loudly: "I will serve as your servant, protect your life, Body and earthly reverence, I will remain loyal to you forever, regardless of life or death, and defend you against all invasions in the world!"


    After taking the oath of allegiance, he stood up, kissed her on the cheek, and stepped off the stage.


    and other key personnel, such as the Prime Minister, also took the stage to swear an oath to the Queen. If there are nobles in this country, they can also follow the procedure, but now the oath of allegiance to the queen is very short, and the ceremony will be completed after several people complete it. Joanna stood up, accompanied by An Feng.


    The national anthem was played live, the audience stood up, and the citizens of the country sang along.


    The crowd outside the church also spontaneously sang the national anthem, and there was a harmonious scene everywhere... After the national anthem, the coronation of the queen in the church also declared a successful conclusion. An Feng took her hand again and left the church. A horse-drawn carriage ride follows, marking the opening of the national celebration.


    After getting on the carriage, cheers and various whistles sounded again. The carriage will parade along the established route, giving the residents a taste of the Queen''s demeanor. It is also the beginning of the national celebration. The royal family has prepared 200 million euros for the celebration, including down the whole city.


    Basically, you can drink beer all you want, eat all you want to eat snacks, dance and dance, and there is endless excitement.

 Chapter 457： Strengthen the military

    Chapter 457 Strengthening the Military


    This grand ceremony was seen by more than two billion people around the world through live broadcast and rebroadcast.


    This is the size of the crowd that ordinary kingdom monarchs do not have.


    From the members of other royal families present, it can be seen that they had no friendship before, but because of this terrifying influence, they all had to come to support. After experiencing the joy of the citizens on the streets, they know that this is a country that is a little fanatical about the royal family, far exceeding the general kingdom.


    People in other parts of the world wish this couple well, their legends of heroes, legends of wealth made this scene, the Internet prefers this kind of self-reliance to the traditional way of inheriting the throne - because it represents a kind of hard work. dream come true.


    Even if no one can achieve it anymore, at least someone once did it, right?


    The local residents and foreign tourists in Cagliari were also caught in the carnival. After the horse-drawn carriage parade, the carnival celebration began. With a base of 1.5 million people, the average of 200 million euros is not much, but they are currently on holiday. There are not many places for consumption, and it is a pity that you can''t spend money if you have money.


    The area that is still open is the designated area, where the sign of the celebration is hung, and the beer and snacks on display are free to pick up if you want. In this way, 200 million euros is enough to deal with this group of people. Not everyone likes to get drunk alone, and there are many other forms of celebration.


    After completing the carriage parade, the royal family returns to the palace.


    The foreign royal families and guests who participated in the ceremony earlier also gathered here one after another. The reception work of An Feng and Joanna officially started. With the help of the translation team, they shook hands with representatives of the royal families one by one, thanked them for their presence, and invited them to the evening banquet.


    The royal families of various countries will choose freely according to the itinerary.


    At the end of the greetings with members of the royal families of 18 countries, they finally stood together and took a group photo with the oil painting as the background... An Feng felt in a trance that he had traveled to the era of graduates, and everyone always had to take a group photo to enjoy themselves. Now More or less so.


    The positions of the guests have been arranged in advance. The usual practice is that the children are at the front, facing the camera together, each showing their expressions, some smiling, some blank, and some seeming to be dozing off...Several photos in a row After the high-resolution photos, the team disbanded.


    Each went back to the hotel to stay, and some stayed behind.


    An Feng specially chatted with the British crown prince and his wife. The two groups are full of aristocratic accents, and it is not the first time they have met. There are still many topics that can be discussed, such as "weather and health"...Friendly greetings to their parents Afterwards, the other party agreed to attend in the evening.


    The rest, Dubai and Qatar are all acquaintances.


    "Congratulations!" Khalid stepped forward and hugged An Feng warmly, "I finally completed this step. Is it okay to feel what everyone expects?"


    "Only tension and exhaustion." An Feng let go of him, and shook hands with Prince Said of Dubai again: "Are you free to stay for dinner tonight?"


    An Feng''s informal address for the dinner seemed casual and intimate. Said nodded: "I will, and I can''t arrange a flight today."


    Joanna chatted with a few ladies, and then heard laughter. They huddled together and took selfies with their mobile phones. Don''t trust the surface too much, the royal nobles who are strict on the surface are actually ordinary people in private.


    ��


    In the evening, the dinner gathering the royal family and dignitaries began in the palace.


    In order to prepare for this dinner, An Feng dispatched top chefs from surrounding countries to cater for the tastes of the guests and strive for perfection until the last moment.


    Before the dinner, An Feng and Joanna put on new dresses.


    An Feng��s clothing remained basically the same, a suit and a dress with a ribbon symbolizing the status of the royal family. Joanna matched with his couple, with the same color ribbon, and wore a light gold mermaid skirt dress designed by Mr. Sabo. An Feng thinks that she is the sexiest in tight clothes.


    Because no matter viewed from the front or the side, the enchanting curves can fascinate people.


    "Admirable figure!" An Feng put his hands on her waist, "She is also the most beautiful queen, are you ready for the attention ceremony?"


    She did attract the most attention. After all, her advantage lies there. She used to be featured in fashion magazines and was ranked. Although she took care of the proprietress, she was not weak enough to be weak. The newly crowned queen won the audience''s attention both in her imposing manner and her attire.


    This evening she was very successful, chatting with the guests with ease, showing her good qualities, all guests have to admire her, she is a fair lady, and she has the temptation of a mature woman, if she is not already a married woman, many gentlemen will be willing Fighting to pursue her.


    After ten o''clock in the evening, there will be a fireworks show on the sea on time.


    Naturally, to celebrate the queen''s ascension to the throne, the royal family spent huge sums of money to organize a grand firework show that lasted for more than an hour. The fireworks rose from the sea and exploded in the sky rumblingly, illuminating the whole city in colorful appearance. The celebrating people Cheers, enjoy yourself.


    It was not until late at night that the noisy city returned to tranquility.


    The last group of guests left, An Feng helped the flushed Joanna into the car. The dinner was very lively. After eating and digesting, we danced. Everyone was well-educated and very familiar with ballroom dancing. Those who were interested took turns to join the battle. From ten o''clock to one o''clock, we could rest as much as we wanted.


    ��


    The next day I slept until the sun was up, and I didn''t want to get up.


    Many residents, including Cagliari, are in the same state as them. They are playing and celebrating the day, and they are very tired. Italians are lazy, so don��t worry about going to work. Anyway, today is Friday...so there was a serious absenteeism that day. Even the boss was absent.


    The guests left one after another in the morning, and after a break in the afternoon, the banquet continued in the evening.


    This time it��s for relatives and friends, there are not so strict rules, just get together to talk about things, and discuss economic facts with friends from the consortium by the way. Recently, he has been so busy that he has not paid enough attention to the outside world. Many of them were reported by his assistant, Ms. Roberts, or John.


    From their mouths, I learned that the plan of the consortium has come to an end, and success is inevitable. The accounts will pass through the natural barrier of the Sardinian royal family, and will be redistributed after being washed. In addition, cash is also very rich.


    An Feng is focusing on cash now, he is very short of money.


    By October next year, he will have to pay the final payment for the Italian government to purchase the island, plus the welfare of the people of Sardinia.


    In addition to making profits, the consortium is also intervening in other fields, because after the disaster, various industries have been affected to a certain extent, the economy of various places is fluctuating, and the real industry is optimistic. Relying on huge funds, the consortium continues to expand its tentacles and strengthen its control in every field. .


    An Feng joined some games he was optimistic about to earn extra money.


    A few days later, the friends also dispersed, and the remaining family members were also preparing to return.


    November 1 is the National Day. The day before, the Queen approved a list of senior military personnel submitted by the Prime Minister, and the establishment of a national defense force has been put on the agenda. Optimistically, the country''s GDP this year will be more than 80 billion, and the government is still quite rich.


    Currently, the national army has recruited 2,000 soldiers, most of whom are recruits, who have been trained for about five months.


    The list submitted by the prime minister is mainly the members of the National Defense Committee. The queen is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, but in fact the power of the army is in the hands of the prime minister. The constitution stipulates that the queen can exercise the power of the commander-in-chief of the army unless the country suffers rebellion or is invaded. Daily It''s a false job.


    The National Defense Commission is different from the Ministry of National Defense. The National Defense Commission is a government department, and its members cannot be military personnel. The National Defense Commission is mostly served by soldiers, but the chairman is the Prime Minister. The Minister of Defense also has a seat. Others will be military personnel.


    In Mancini��s list, three military officers were nominated. Two native Italians had served in the army but had already retired. This time they were called by the corresponding country. Both were colonels before retiring, and the last one was just naturalized. Guri, also with the rank of colonel, served as commissioner and commander of the army.


    But two thousand soldiers can��t do much, the other two committee members were created to assist Gu Li��s work, and the prime minister didn��t know the content of the army training. Essentially, the country''s army is commanding over Guri...he''s been on fire lately, and he hates spaghetti!


    The reason is naturally that the troops are not in the climate. Even if one of the hundred troops is selected for the national day, the one hundred troops are selected for the military parade, but they are still dissatisfied in various ways. According to Mao Zifan, he should not pay attention to appearance, but pay more attention to actual combat... But on the day of the National Day inspection of soldiers, An Feng also covered his forehead.


    It��s no wonder the instructors, they are all the elite brought by Guli, it can only be said that the time is too short.


    The good news is that the police force is full of energy. In the police force, many of them are former policemen. In addition, Westerners are tall, and they are not domineering, but they just let their size stand up a little, especially the coast guards who were trained first. The team finally saved a little face.


    Afterwards, Gurley proposed to the Queen to form a Royal Marine Corps.


    "From the perspective of the size of the country, if the pure army or navy is too clearly divided, it will waste resources. The amphibious military is good. In addition, the country''s military is mostly for defense purposes, so improving efficiency is the key. Marine Corps, Navy Army can do it all.��


    Joanna didn��t know much about the military, so it was An Feng who finally answered: ��Is it going to be a meritocracy?��


    "There are always people supporting the scene, and some people are showing off." Gu Li said, "It is very difficult to improve the whole, and we can only select the best parts. Take ten thousand steps back, if there is danger, a nest of bear soldiers will be defeated, but There''s a backbone in there that can change morale."


    "Good suggestion." An Feng nodded, "Go back and talk to Mancini."


    "I don''t know Italian." Gu Li frowned, which is why he went to An Feng.


    "Well, next time he comes to report to the queen, let''s talk together." An Feng said, everything is difficult at the beginning, and he was talking about the current state.


    "I will." After Gu Li finished speaking, he stood up straight in front of them and saluted the military.


    After Guli left, An Feng also discussed some military construction with Joanna.


    Soldiers don''t need too many, because he has armed robots, which were developed to prevent wars, but he didn''t expect to use them... Human soldiers are just to save face in the end, but robots don''t care about trivial matters, so a compromise , It is very important to have a group of elites.


    It is enough for the face-saving troops to practice, and the elites will be treated specially. They can be used in ordinary trivialities and even some small conflicts. In more serious moments, such as being invaded by other countries, it is impossible to count on human beings. At that time, the Queen will take over the military power and directly Send robots to participate.


    This structure is currently the most suitable, economical and effective.

 Chapter 458： defense contractor

    Chapter 458 Defense Contractors


    Guli is a vigorous and decisive person, and the matter was not delayed. He sat down with two other committee members, the Prime Minister and the Queen, to discuss the construction of the national defense army. lasts for two hours.


    An Feng is also listening. Basically, everyone agrees. The building of national defense force is also a key issue discussed by the parliament. However, these politicians have a good understanding of the military. , which is currently unifying.


    Recently, the government has collected a lot of taxes. According to the national tax policy, it is prepaid quarterly and settled at the end of the year. Therefore, from the establishment of the country to the present, the tax revenue in three quarters has reached 6 billion. The salaries of civil servants are paid, and members of parliament are also subsidized for meetings. Already, the government''s purse strings are thicker than ever.


    The initial stage of national construction was so fierce, the government was naturally willing to spend money on military affairs.


    Finally, the parliament passed the bill to establish a Royal Marine Corps, designation Grizzly, Commander Korotayev, the size of a company, about 120 people, and a financial allocation of 120 million euros, aiming to establish a capable A heroic force representing the nation.


    A bill passed by the Parliament, signed and approved by the Queen.


    Guri got a lot of authority to use money, and he started to pick out fifty decent guys from a nest of bear soldiers. It is impossible to gather a company immediately, and it is impossible to carry out elite training with a large number. He only needs fifty people in the early stage, so he will torture them well.


    The issue of elite training is handled by employees of Aegis Security. They are not part of the national army, but the government has signed an employment agreement with them, and they are currently the officers of all recruits. Guli has worked with these colleagues for many years, is familiar with each other''s personalities, and is very relieved to let them do it.


    Guri considers a more specific issue: weaponry.


    Again, everything is difficult at the beginning. Running a new country lacks everything, they are the same as India - the ability to make bullets. Fortunately, they have industrial enterprises that the world envies, and Anshi Industries can undoubtedly change all technical difficulties.


    As the BOSS of Anshi Industry, Anfeng and Guli have a business dialogue.


    Guri hopes to order a batch of exoskeletons and firearms.


    An Feng said: "The cost of exoskeletons has always been high, and I have made up my mind to reverse the company''s loss-making situation for eight consecutive years."


    Gu Li understood: "How much do you need?"


    He said: "A set of one million dollars, about 750,000 euros."


    Guri shook his head: "The manufacture of exoskeletons can be slowed down, but weapons must be paid close attention. Now importing foreign equipment will cause a kind of psychological dependence. Last time I found that you have very good high-tech weapons here. If the cost is not high, consider used in the military."


    An Feng said: "Whether it is an exoskeleton or an electromagnetic energy weapon, they are not cheap."


    "Then let the government credit you." Guli said irresponsibly. He only cares about army building. He likes this kind of challenging and high-paying job.


    An Feng smiled: "Let''s not talk about this for now, let''s look at the equipment first."


    An''s Industry has four renovated warehouses next to the airport, which are very spacious and divided into various departments. Basically, there are not many human employee activities, and most of the work is done by robots. There are three robots in the weapons testing area, and they deliver the samples.


    An Feng said: "The three rifles in front of you are all electromagnetic guns. They are short assault rifles, which can be used as tactics, suitable for dense areas, urban street fighting, etc.; standard rifles, which can carry many pendants and magazines. The capacity is also larger; sniper rifle, optional automatic or semi-automatic, the range is up to you, anyway, I feel that it is as powerful as an extended-range rocket.��


    "Really?" Gu Li looked at the tabletop. Without a doubt, it is the most attractive appearance.


    But appearance doesn��t mean performance... For example, SSG69, this green gun is not ugly, but it is the most accurate non-automatic sniper rifle and a deadly killer. Therefore, appearance parties are generally only used in movies or games, and what soldiers need is a reliable partner.


    Even if this partner looks like a fire stick, they like it.


    "You can try it." An Feng said, "The airstrip outside, the longest shooting range is four kilometers."


    Gu Li went out to try the gun, and the first question he came to when he first came into contact with it: "It''s too heavy, the depth of the country and the limitations of the elite army, the best long gun is less than six kilograms."


    "Professional!" An Feng also wanted to change in this respect. If a soldier carries a ten-kilogram weapon, don''t say anything powerful, try running five kilometers? A heavy and long guy, exhausted, hands sore - the bullets sweep the back of the **** for a few rounds, and the gun is guaranteed to be thrown far away immediately.


    "But if you have an exoskeleton, the weight doesn''t matter." Guri said, he still misses the exoskeleton.


    An Feng smiled: "You have to wait for the company to operate normally, or the government to clear up this year''s fiscal revenue before they will allocate funds."


    He sighed: "I didn''t expect to deal with politicians."


    They came to the airport by battery car, the farthest target could not be seen clearly with the naked eye, Guli mounted the sniper rifle, loaded the magazine, and switched the battery to standby according to An Feng''s prompt, just like loading a gunpowder weapon, he lay on his stomach On the mat, stare at the scope.


    Guli found the target in the scope. The scope has the ability to measure distance. The target is 1.5 kilometers away. Guli does not think that he can test the four kilometers immediately. He starts with the simple one, and the first shot must be used for calibration. Yes, he had no hope of hitting at all.


    But when he pulled the trigger on the target, a surprising scene happened��the target fell down.


    "Not bad!" An Feng nodded, and the first shot hit.


    "The recoil is very small, the sound is small, and the speed is fast. It is really a powerful weapon." Guli tried a few more shots, "Its accuracy is also amazing."


    "This is the advanced point of electromagnetic weapons, but it also has flaws." An Feng said.


    When Guli tested the farther targets, he almost always missed the target. He thought for a while and asked: "Is it possible that if the speed is fast enough, the short-distance running will be less affected by gravity and wind direction? It doesn''t have the rifling of a conventional weapon, and it deviates infinitely?"


    An Feng nodded: "If you want to ensure the accuracy, you can only increase the rate of fire. When the rate of fire is 3500 meters per second, the distance is controlled within 0.3 seconds. The bullets almost go in a straight line. Its accuracy is better than that of any sniper rifle. High. If it''s farther away, don''t think about hitting."


    Guri understood: "It seems that this is a weapon that relies on speed to maintain accuracy. If the caliber is upgraded to a shell, can it get rid of the influence of gravity?"


    "Like a traditional artillery shell, you can add a stabilized tail, or use a range-extended rocket, and a more advanced guidance system can also be used."


    "Guidance system? Aren''t you afraid that high-voltage current will affect electronic components?"


    "Instead of directly accelerating the shell in the magnetic track, it will kill you. Add a support to the shell, and separate the support from the shell after firing."


    "It''s really good!" Guli praised.


    After testing all the weapons, Gu Li and An Feng returned.


    On the way, he said: "You have a full set of high-tech conditions here. According to your ideas, you can build the strongest army in the world."


    An Feng shook his head: "The country doesn''t have so much money for military affairs, and the land is too small, so it doesn''t make much sense to expand the army. Second, most of the government is Italian. After the Renaissance, weak wind prevailed. The arrogance of the Roman Empire has been wiped out by the literary fan It''s over, there''s no blood in my bones."


    Guri said: "Then you have to absorb some immigrants from other countries to improve the social atmosphere."


    An Feng nodded: "It''s the future direction, but it''s not a matter of two or three years for immigrants to change the thinking of the whole society. Unless I can have a group of Cossacks."


    Gu Li shook his head: "I guess we still have to wait."


    An Feng encouraged him: "Don''t think so far, I think it is a success to train a group of bear soldiers well and give the country face."


    Guri said: "My future achievements stop here."


    "Don''t be discouraged, buddy." An Feng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "You have to be bloody, but sometimes, a peaceful and stable life is the most precious."


    Having just experienced a catastrophe and witnessed countless deaths, Gu Li naturally understood: "But I still have a little bit of housekeeping skills, so I can sleep at night with peace of mind."


    ��


    After the test, Gu Li had a good idea of ??the equipment.


    He will decide on some procurement items, such as firearms. Short guns use gunpowder weapons, which are cheap and durable. Gunpowder weapons are more adaptable than electromagnetic energy weapons. For pistols, he will adopt the principle of proximity and aim at the 92 series weapons of the Italian Beretta company. It used to be the standard M9 pistol of the U.S. military, and military enterprises still have the ability to equip it not only with the Marine Corps, but also with the military and police.


    In terms of long guns and accessories, the purchase list for Ans Industries is listed. The focus is on short assault rifles. It has the flexibility of a miniature submachine gun, can be used in cities, and has the lethality of an assault rifle. It happens to be the best of both worlds when used in the army. .


    Purchase a certain number of sniper rifles. Although it is unlikely to be used, it can be trained. In addition, there are some parts of firearms. Due to the modular design, the installation of firearm modules is very simple. As for the finer ones, there is no need for soldiers to master them. This is a matter for professionals.


    It''s like a DIY computer, you just know how to install it, you don''t need to know how to make a CPU.


    The contract, including after-sales service, takes one year to digest the order. The contract value is about 6 million euros. Become a defense contractor.


    The national policy is flexible when dealing with defense contractors. For example, American military enterprises such as Lockheed-Martin and Raytheon test missiles and supersonic fighter jets at ordinary times. Now An Feng also wants this layer of vest , even if the development of armed robots is exposed, it doesn''t matter.


    After all, they are defense contractors. In the future, they will not only be robots, unmanned fighters, ferrofluid battleships, high-tech aircraft mothers, or aerospace fighters, space fortresses, and extraterrestrial bases... When you feel like you have spare money, you can play boringly. Use force, but show off.


    According to the form of the military industry, Ans Industries will have to be divided into different departments or subsidiaries in the future. In addition to the military, it will also involve many industrial activities. Recently, the two most popular commercial 3D printer brands in the world are the OEMs entrusted by Ans Industries processing.


    In the future, they will launch more advanced industrial printers. According to Anfeng''s expectations for the country, high-value businesses are suitable for domestic use, while cheap and low-income ones are not suitable for small countries with a small population. Find a foundry abroad to solve it.

 Chapter 459： tantalize

    Chapter 459 Teasing appetite


    An Feng took some time to rectify An''s Industry, making its model more profitable.


    It is a miracle that Ans Industries has been losing money for eight consecutive years and has not closed down. It is not that it is not competitive, but it is dedicated to some unpopular, difficult or currently unmarketable things. Diseases and disasters are the moment to become famous all over the world, but before that, their operations were very problematic. The most brilliant superconductors were sold for money; the atmospheric processors were completely loss-making projects, and the company had to subsidize hundreds of millions of dollars.


    Now it��s on the right track.


    There is no need for An Feng to worry about the follow-up matters. His assistant John will complete the work for him. They have cooperated closely for many years, so there is no need to say anything.


    John recently took some of the original team members and registered an investment management company in Sardinia. He also holds a "green card" and can travel to and from Europe and the United States very conveniently. Due to the problem of taking care of his children to go to school, he is not resident in Europe. Go back occasionally.

    After six months of busy work, Joanna got a vacation. The couple even went to the beach for an afternoon of fun. When the holiday casual clothes appeared in Olbia in the north, they were photographed several times by the crowd, and news websites also reported the holiday moments of the Queen and her husband.


    The local residents are not very gossipy, but they still pay attention to the royal family.


    When the series of photos came out, Joanna''s unsmiling image was subverted. Her gesture of crossing the road with her husband''s arm in her arms appeared gentle and lovely, and became a topic of conversation among residents. Since they have no foundation, they don''t like the dullness and rigor of the traditional royal family, which is very good like now.


    Popular satisfaction continues unabated.


    It''s a pity that she has very little holiday time, and she is full of things on her body.


    There are plans to visit European countries in the near future. Out of friendship or political needs, Joanna will pay a return visit to the royal families attending the coronation ceremony. There are more than ten countries in Europe. She will attend one by one and bring the cabinet along with her Ministers and various officials and businessmen stopped by to talk about business.


    In terms of time arrangement, the interval between each visit is about ten days. According to some arrangements, it will be the turn of the schedule every ten days or so. Ms. Roberts made a schedule for this aspect, and completed all the foreign visits, which will probably last until June next year, basically slowly.


    The monarch of the country is like this. He has no real power, but many activities need to come forward.


    An Feng doesn''t find it troublesome, and the schedule is loose, so he treats it as a trip to a foreign country for a day or two to relax, and after returning to rest, he goes on a trip. Joanna has a little request��in fact, she has a request for her costume designer, and her image in public is also important.


    They set off as soon as the time came. The first stop was Italy, which was also the first country the queen visited after her coronation. Since they were the first to recognize the sovereignty of Sardinia, it was of special significance. In addition to diplomatic issues, the Queen was accompanied by representatives of more than 20 companies who wanted to discuss business.


    When Sardinia was still part of Italy, there was trade between the two places. However, after the establishment of the country, because Sardinia did not join the European Union, and even joined the United Nations, it was still applying, so customs duties and customs ports had to be dealt with. Trade cannot be broken either.


    There is no special part of visiting Italy, just line up to shake hands with some dignitaries, and then stand in line to take pictures. The Queen has no real power, so political issues are mostly concerned with one or two sentences, and no decision-making is made. In this regard, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Commerce have more conversations.


    The arrangement in November and December is relatively intensive, with a total of five overseas visits.


    After the Italian station, the second stop went to her hometown, the rot country. This was also at the invitation of the Crown Prince. The nature of the friendship was more. The King of England received them. The local residents in London were very enthusiastic, because although Joanna went to Sardinia to become the Queen, her hometown is England.


    The British are very proud and enthusiastic. Europeans are still able to accept this kind of thing of going to other countries to become princesses and kings, because history has been staged countless times, and the novelty has long since disappeared. In particular, Joanna''s popularity is very high, which makes the king a little bit frustrated by being overshadowed.


    But...he wasn''t very popular.


    Joanna brought officials and company representatives here. When the two heads of state communicate with each other, there are often good conditions for business negotiations. For example, on the issue of industrial cooperation that the UK is looking forward to, the representatives of Anshi Industries are negotiating with them... In addition There''s also the matter of energy.


    Not only the UK, but the whole of Europe is troubled by energy problems. After the popularization of electric vehicles, the consumption of electric energy is even greater. Thermal power generation does not belong to the category of clean energy. In recent years, nuclear energy-nuclear fusion has become popular, and Europe''s "super grid" It is needed.


    But they didn''t talk much, and An Feng didn''t talk too much, maintaining a tacit understanding... Anyway, Europe is the most urgent thing, not him.


    ��


    Last stop before Christmas.


    On the second floor of the Queen''s private plane, Joanna holds the computer to watch gossip, reports her itinerary online, explores her various styles, clothing or jewelry in detail, and finally adds a line of "really rich, never repeated" Feeling... An Feng also stood aside.


    He asked: "So much news about the European royal family?"


    "There has always been a lot of gossip in the royal family." Joanna is used to it. "This is also the reason why I have high requirements for fashion designers and stylists."


    "You like to watch it too?" An Feng laughed.


    "I''ve heard of it occasionally..." Joanna nodded.


    "Tell me something interesting to relieve my boredom." An Feng hugged her and looked at the various spicy comments on the screen. It seems that members of the royal family are not easy. Duplicate clothes will be specifically mentioned, and things like borrowing a brooch from a certain cousin and earrings from an aunt will also be found out with keen eyes.


    But Joanna didn��t��because she was the richest, and her clothes were all disposable.


    "Like..." Joanna leaned back against him.


    "We are going to Denmark this time. When I was studying in the UK, the crown prince and princess were very popular. The crown prince is the father of four children. In his forties, he didn''t know how to beware of paparazzi. He was photographed in nightclubs and Photos of hot girls playing wildly, and the princess is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she can spend a lot of money. One is immature and the other spends a lot of money. Some people say on the Internet that Denmark is likely to become a "republic" in their hands..."


    "The monarch turned into a republic?" An Feng smiled, and looked at the previous photos again, the crown prince was a little cheeky, no wonder!


    "We went to Spain last time. The private life of the former king was very hot. Juan Carlos married a Greek princess who looked very worthy of the audience (it was still at that time). Unfortunately, the king liked wild flowers outside and cheated repeatedly. The queen She also has a tough character, and it is rumored that she scolded the king: ''I know you hate me, but unfortunately you can''t divorce me!'', what a queen!"


    "No way?" An Feng rolled his eyes.


    "It''s not surprising that the former king of Sweden plans to ''elope to a distant island and live off coconuts'' with a stripper who looks a bit too much"!"


    "What kind of taste!" An Feng smiled, "At least find something better."


    Gossip topics are indeed a woman''s nature, and once they are talked about, they can''t stop.


    After laughing enough, the Queen''s Boeing special plane landed in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. They saw the unreliable couple in Joanna''s mouth in the palace. Now the king and queen are not young. The two sides met and the translator conveyed their greetings. Officials also shook hands with me, and finally the two couples stood side by side for a group photo.


    The process is basically like this. Other matters are left to the officials to discuss. The queen and the husband are invited to attend the concert at night, and continue to meet some local princes and nobles after they arrive. The Queen of Sardinia was a highly sought-after figure, and her image and wealth were the subject of much talk.


    And the business cooperation with Sardinia is also regarded as a very promising opportunity for success... This time the Ministry of Commerce is still discussing the issue of power resources... There are five countries, and the topic has not left power resources, especially Anshi The industry''s most advanced controllable nuclear fusion technology.


    But the Ministry of Commerce did not understand the depth of the water, and the State Power Resources Corporation did not send a representative. In the end, it was just a superficial... superficial talk.


    On the contrary, An Feng listened to music very easily.


    In addition to the fact that the biggest business has not been settled, there are some things that are successful. The country may invest in the local area, and Denmark may invest in Sardinia... When the plane returned the next day, Roberts gave a report to the Queen. In fact, An Feng was the main one. He is the Queen''s "Prime Minister".


    "European super grid, this is a big plan." An Feng leaned back on the sofa, with his legs on the coffee table, his image completely ruined.


    Joanna asked: "Is Europe still capable of undertaking trillion-euro projects?"


    "In terms of energy demand, it is necessary. Europeans use too much electricity, and the distribution of power resources is unbalanced. It seems to be their own business, but the EU connects them together, just like the bankruptcy crisis, the overall coordination That''s the way Europe is going to be ambitious."


    Joanna understood: "You didn''t continue talking... are you trying to whet their appetite?"


    ��Although they are nervous now, they think they are sure of winning. When they try to control nuclear fusion and encounter the same trouble as the United States, I really look forward to it!��


    Although the United States claims to have mastered the technology of controllable nuclear fusion��to a certain extent, it was provided by Anshi Industries, but their third-rate level, the nuclear power plant Anfeng built has to be 1,000 kilometers away from living. Not to mention safety, but the cost is ten times higher than that of Anfeng, which is miserable.


    Joanna said: "I find it more suitable for you to be king."


    "No, no, no, you are the right one! I just like to see you shining brightly in front of the stage and being admired by thousands of people." An Feng said with a smile.


    Roberts smiles too, the Prince is funny sometimes.


    "I can''t keep up with your thinking on this kind of problem." Joanna shook her head, "Donna, how is the design problem I mentioned last time?"


    "It''s all here, ma''am." Roberts picked up the computer and explained to her.


    An Feng covered his face with a hat, the ladies continued to gossip and love beauty, and he slept.


    The preparation of super grids in many European countries has been repeatedly mentioned, but it is very difficult to implement. Now there is a godsend opportunity, which is the nuclear power generation technology of Anshi Industries. In the past, nuclear fission power generation was efficient, but also dangerous. Resources are limited, and nuclear fusion is much easier.


    The heads of state and governments of various European countries have made inquiries, but not many details have been obtained from the Queen.


    Obviously, a friendship visit is one thing, business is another. If there is no sincerity, they will not sit down and talk. This is the time for stalemate and appetite. When Anfeng''s large-scale nuclear power plant in Sardinia is completed and there is no need to worry about power resources, they will not be able to stand it.


    An Feng''s appetite is aimed at the distribution of electricity consumption shares for one billion people. Even if it brings limited profits, it can still generate income for the country. Now that he doesn��t have to worry about his personal assets, he also wants to bring some benefits and changes to the country. After all, he bought the land himself. Who doesn��t want perfection?

 Chapter 460： sky garden

    Chapter 460 Sky Garden


    During the time of foreign visits, in addition to establishing friendly relations, there are also purposes of visiting cities and gaining experience. The foundation of the country is weak, and we need to learn more from the experience of other cities. And they also have activities in the country, are invited to visit the city, formulate investment strategies or construction plans.


    Although this is a matter for the government, the government listens to the queen, so it indirectly becomes a matter for the royal family.


    The government, which is not considered wealthy, has limited financial resources and capabilities, and they know that the royal family is the largest investor in the country, and the future prosperity is in the hands of the royal family, so they are very cooperative in letting go of power. Basically, they will find ways to realize what the queen proposes. to achieve the desired effect.


    In late November, Joanna and An Feng visited the grape plantation area in the northern Olbia region. There are many grape-producing areas in Sardinia, but the planting area is not large, and they are mainly commercialized. They are easily affected by market fluctuations and cannot accumulate culture.


    An Feng, who has managed a vineyard, knows that quality is one thing, and history also plays a key role��and history is mostly born of love. The wine brand must be unknown in the early stage. If there is no persistence of love, the vineyard will easily change hands, and the atmosphere of commercialization will be strong.


    In order to encourage a small number of old brands, the queen visited their winery.


    The small number of vineyard owners in the northern part of Olbia are mostly locals, because this is their hometown, and the management of the vineyards has been passed down from generation to generation. Although the performance is not very good, they are very firm, and the firmness also ushered in the queen''s special arrangement visit, or even stay for an extra day.


    There is no doubt that the local residents love the Queen. She was able to come to visit and let them spontaneously prepare a week in advance, trying to show the interesting side of the wine industry without looking boring. Then they were pleasantly surprised to find that both the queen and the prince were obviously experts.


    During the visit, An Feng revealed that they used to operate a vineyard in California. The name of An��s Winery is relatively popular in North America, but the reputation in other regions is very average. It��s normal to have never heard of it here. The owner of the vineyard nodded, and he really cared about it.


    The queen and her party visited four wineries and received a high-level warm reception. She also considered some plans to help promote the marketing of the traditional wine industry, hoping to increase the influence of tourist cities and promote the consumption of wine, thereby also improving the wine market. industry influence.


    In the evening, when we left the vineyard area by car and returned to Olbia, An Feng asked, "Are you concerned about the development of tourism in the northern region?"


    Joanna said: "Don''t you think that changes in every aspect will help improve the overall influence?"


    "That''s right." An Feng said.


    The influence of a country is based on many aspects. There are also prosperity in a few fields, but it can only be good rather than outstanding. Like the all-round development of the United States, it affects the whole world. It is undeniable that the world is full of American movies. Music and American culture, there are also American fleets floating on the ocean, there are notorious American soldiers on land, and there are American satellites overhead...


    Joanna looked out the window at the lush vineyards: "When I felt the enthusiasm and joy of the local residents, I was also happy from the bottom of my heart. I found myself slowly falling in love with this land that is not too rich. I really hope that It can have a good future."


    "This is the performance of a good monarch." An Feng praised, "Don''t worry, I will help you achieve it."


    Joanna smiled: "I believe you can do it."


    Stayed at Porto Cervo late at night. The local area is a well-known tourist attraction with a well-developed service industry. There are often celebrities who avoid the paparazzi. The nearby city of Olbia is also an important port for Italy to enter Sardinia. It is a region with developed tourism economy.


    An Feng thought that this is a tourist city. Due to the casual character of the local people, the tourism industry is not overly developed, but since there are tourists, there will definitely be a demand for consumption. stimulate consumption.


    But how to increase fame?


    It is definitely not enough to rely solely on the locals. They are satisfied with the status quo and live a leisurely life every day. The outside world��s impression of the local area is mostly sunshine and beaches. If there is an attractive gimmick, it is a place that is completely different from other cities... But I can think and can Be different.


    The next day the convoy went south to Olbia, more than 20 kilometers away. It is a port city with relatively flat land around it. In addition to tourism, some agriculture is also developed. Out of some bold ideas in his heart, Anfeng also specially Arrange visits to seaside and places with flat land.


    After returning, Joanna asked him why.


    An Feng said: "I have a very bold idea that will shock the world."


    "What is it?" Joanna sat on the edge of the bed, every bold idea of ??his was always amazing, and she looked forward to it.


    "Didn''t you say you want to increase your influence?" An Feng said.


    "Yes." She nodded.


    "Olbia may be a good place. I''ve checked it out. The local business atmosphere is good. It has a large port. The scenery along the coast is also beautiful. There is flat land along the coast. Guess what I thought?" An Feng looked at Joe. Anna, "Give me a hint, superconductor!"


    "Superconductor?" Joanna still couldn''t connect all the key words.


    "Superconducting magnetic levitation!" An Feng didn''t tantalize his appetite for too long, "Last time I told you that room temperature superconductors can be industrially synthesized with high technology and high consumption, right? I plan to choose one with the best scenery place, dig out a piece of land, reinforce it with reinforced concrete, install room-temperature superconductors, and then increase the strength of the ground magnetic field, and in the room-temperature superconducting state, the land will be suspended..."


    "You mean the Hanging Garden?" Joanna suddenly understood.


    "That''s right!" An Feng was triumphant, pacing around the room with his hands behind his back, "It''s a great idea, right?"


    Joanna is also clear that the superconducting state will show special properties. In addition to the use of electricity, its levitation ability is also very strong. To levitate a two-ton car, the superconductor required is very small, because its Lifting power is huge.


    If the coveted room-temperature superconductor can be manufactured, the hanging garden will also become a reality.


    According to the Meissner effect, when the surface magnetic field is enhanced, the superconductor will repel the magnetic field, that is, the stronger the surface magnetic field, the higher its levitation height. The room-temperature superconductor is obviously perfect, and the suspended sky garden is two feet away from the ground. More than ten meters, it is definitely a modern miracle.


    But she was sober: "How much land do you want to suspend?"


    An Feng thought for a while: "A commercial square is about 200 meters long."


    "How many superconductors do you need?" Joanna asked.


    "A lot." An Feng stopped, "This is also a tricky problem. You have to calculate the unloaded weight and the maximum loaded weight, but it doesn''t matter if you are overweight, it will only reduce the height of the superconducting suspension, and it will not collapse. You can even If you change the strength of the surface magnetic field, it can rise and fall like a lifting platform!"


    "How much is the estimated cost?" Joanna asked.


    "According to the current cost of artificially synthesizing room temperature superconductors, it is estimated that it will take about 10 billion."


    "That''s okay." Joanna said, ten billion to create a miracle is also acceptable.


    An Feng looked at her: "It doesn''t have to be room-temperature superconductors, high-temperature superconductors are also fine. If the temperature is close to zero, there is no need to use refrigeration fluid. Simply install a few refrigeration equipment, like a refrigerator, to keep it below zero at all times. If so, the cost will be reduced a lot.��


    Joanna has a practical question: "How do you think about safety?"


    "Adopt a combination plan, a part of high-temperature superconductivity, a part of room-temperature superconductivity-at least keep only the room-temperature superconductor working, and it can also keep the floating island one meter above the surface, and the high-temperature superconductivity is to help increase the height of the suspension ,how?"


    "If you can do it, it will be a miracle." Joanna was sure.


    "I think so too." An Feng said immodestly.


    Ended the inspection of the Olbia area, returned to Cagliari, and An Feng went to work on superconductors.


    An''s Industry is currently his main office location. There are some employees here from the United States, but most of them are robots��robots only represent two characters, either Eve or Hal. Artificial intelligence is indeed better than Humans are much more serious.


    He and Hal discussed the mass production of room-temperature superconductors, and his vision of hanging gardens.


    After thinking about it, Hal replied: "The mass production of room-temperature superconductors will take a certain amount of time, and Eve has already calculated for you the possibility of its existence under the condition that the suspended entire land is strong enough. very high."


    An Feng looked at Eve. It took only a few minutes, but he didn''t expect her to be finished.


    Eve, who has learned a lot of architectural knowledge recently, said: "The suspended land can be reinforced with concrete and steel bars to ensure the stability of the base, and the upper layer retains the natural land. If you want to plant green plants, there is no problem. The green effect will adjust the environment."


    "What about safety considerations?" An Feng asked.


    "Except for serious attacks, it will be very stable. Even if the ground artificial magnetic field equipment is destroyed, the earth''s magnetic field can keep the land suspended and will not fall to the ground. The existence of room temperature superconductors means that superconductivity will be constant. Changeless."


    The result of discussing with them is that the possibility of realization is very high.


    Followed by the problem of cost and materials, Anfeng can slowly save money for the cost, but the materials are not easy to find.


    Hal is expected to invest seven billion euros - in terms of their technology. For other countries, 70 billion may not be able to achieve it, because it includes materials and technology-the only one in the technology world, and other countries are still struggling with high-temperature superconductors, let alone more advanced ones.


    In the development of industrial technology, the first to fourth generations of Hal have been expanded, and some aspects are hundreds of years ahead of the earth. The technological gap cannot be made up by simple imitation. From this, An Feng thought that the sky garden would be guaranteed to be unique for a long time.


    Using technology to create miracles, he was moved.


    With this gimmick, the city will become a must-see tourist attraction. In addition to the sunny beach, tourists can also go to the sky to experience the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The design of the sky garden can be exaggerated, and there is definitely a prospect for transparent corridors.


    An Feng spent some time discussing with Joanna. They formulated a plan to mass-produce superconductors, purchase land, and renovate the land. According to the schedule and financial resources, it may take many years to complete. It will be faster to join the robot link. are very busy.


    Take it as the main plan, and focus on it after the important matters are completed.

 Chapter 461： Cultural Construction

    Chapter 461 Cultural Construction


    In early December, the Queen of Sardinia made her third foreign visit.


    This time I was invited to visit the Kingdom of the Netherlands, commonly known as the Netherlands. In addition to friendship and politics, there are also reasons for economic cooperation, and the power grid cooperation issue that An Feng tantalized also occurred...but at present, other possible business cooperation is the main focus.


    The Queen''s special plane flew to Amsterdam and was warmly welcomed at the airport. People all over the world liked this couple and were amazed at their heroic deeds. After getting off the plane, the king and queen personally greeted them, presented them with flowers, held a welcoming ceremony, played the national anthem, and inspected the guard of honor accompanied by the king... Joanna has been able to handle the basic procedures very skillfully.


    The shots at the scene also focus on the two monarchs.


    Since Joanna is the queen, she can''t pursue beauty as much as the queen in her clothing. She wears an apricot-colored woolen coat, with the hem of the dress and the inner skirt reaching her knees, matching her flesh-colored stockings and high-heeled shoes. Lack of the generosity of a king.


    This customary set of one-time clothes has been well received by netizens, causing her to wear it for the second time in public for the first time in the future, making the fans of the brains regard her as the queen''s true love, and they can see her like other princesses It''s really not easy to repeat a set of clothes.


    After the welcome ceremony at the airport, head to the local royal palace.


    Amsterdam is very special. There are many local rivers. It feels like Venice. There are rivers and cruise ships everywhere. Narrow and high-pine buildings after the Renaissance are built along the street. Most of them are three or four floors, carefully decorated with blue, red and green. , colorful.


    It is also special, as the capital and the largest city, but embarrassingly there is no parliament, and there is no palace where the king lives-the local palace is generally used for official purposes, receiving foreign guests, celebrations, etc., and is usually open. The political center of the country is actually in The Hague, fifty kilometers away.


    Furthermore, in the red light district of Amsterdam, girls are placed in the window like commodities for passers-by to watch, attracting them to come in and consume with all kinds of charms, and it is said that they can "issue invoices"... This has a more rotten culture than a rotten country, where homosexuals legally marry, The number of registrations per year accounts for 10% of the total.


    There are too many legends here. An Feng once glanced at it briefly, but it is a pity to think about it now. With his current status, he absolutely cannot rush to the red-light district. Going alone will definitely cause scandals. If you take Joanna, do you want the image of the country? This heart can only sink to the bottom of the sea.


    Maybe feeling the melancholy of him looking out the window, Joanna leaned over and smiled: "Is it a pity?"


    "No way." An Feng denied, "I just feel like I''ve been here twice before, and I didn''t appreciate it well."


    "It''s not a pity that it''s a secret." She curled her lips.


    "No!" An Feng pinched her face, "Your Majesty, your mind should be on national affairs, don''t gossip or corrupt."


    "Hmph!" She laughed.


    The driver acted like he didn��t hear anything, and Ms. Roberts, the co-pilot, automatically ignored it... She was used to the couple��s love, but it was a bit subversive to see the idol revealing her true side. Just on the surface, Joanna had to maintain full momentum and majesty.


    The visiting convoy arrived at the Royal Palace in Amsterdam. The King and his wife held a welcoming ceremony and a friendly meeting in the hall, accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Commerce and the ambassador to the Netherlands. After the end, I was invited to attend the state banquet tonight. The standard of reception was very high, and there was still a project for the Queen to speak.


    Although there is almost no trade between Sardinia and the Netherlands at present, the government is naturally looking forward. Everyone knows that Sardinia is supported by the royal family, and the enterprises and decision-making power owned by the royal family affect the whole world. Handling a good relationship with them will benefit a lot for future development.


    ��


    In addition to several contracts signed by the machinery industry and smart machines, and the negotiations on Beida''s European supply channels have achieved good results, the issue of nuclear power generation is still ambiguous, and Anfeng''s appetite is still in progress. He is the guardian of Jinshan at home, it doesn''t matter, anyway, he monopolizes technology.


    The next day I was invited to visit The Hague. This time the nature was more private. They were both members of the royal family. The king and his wife invited them to stay at the Huis Ten Bosch Palace where they lived privately. This move was intimate, but there were also political factors in it. Queen Denia is also suitably enthusiastic.


    Then they visited The Hague according to the itinerary. The Hague is also a fortified place, full of green and royal elegance, palaces, museums, and art galleries everywhere. They visited the more representative projects one by one, such as the Moritz Royal Art Museum. museum.


    Part of the purpose of the visit is to gain knowledge, gain experience, and come to learn from teachers.


    The knowledge of the three stops with official explanations has already given An Feng and Joanna a clear idea of ??what Sardinia still lacks as a country and what needs to be added to Cagliari as the capital...they are not as good as their predecessors The foundation can only be created a little bit.


    First of all, An Feng felt that some cultural construction must be carried out.


    Museums, art galleries and other public places need to cultivate sentiment, and there are some in Cagliari. Other cultural aspects... An Feng intends to build a royal research institute, with the help of artificial intelligence, the research institute can engage in any aspect of scientific and technological research and development.


    This is also the key to demonstrating strength, contributing to the country''s technological construction, and attracting outsiders.


    Secondly, there must be a university with comprehensive strength, which will continue to be named "Royal" and cultivate elites. On the one hand, it will send talents to the society, and on the other hand, it will send it to the Royal Academy-the matter of running back to your own country after finishing your studies. The research institute will eradicate it on a large scale.


    Because when the best and easiest place in the world to make your dreams come true is right in front of you, the average person can��t resist.


    Then, there must be some elegant places, such as opera houses, which can be open-air public or royal, elegant and noble places. And in the reception of foreign guests, there can also be good places to go. You can��t let foreigners come, just take them to watch football, right?


    The queen''s visit is also a process of continuously learning the essence of other countries.


    ��


    End the visit to the Netherlands, take a lot of tulips as a gift, and return.


    After returning to Cagliari, cultural construction is also on the agenda. Recently, the wallet has been empty. The only comfort is that even if the investment does not return, it is still my home. If you think this way, you will be balanced in your heart. If you lose money, you will lose money. The right should be to contribute to future generations.


    The queen summoned important cabinet members to the palace to discuss national planning.


    At present, the scope is narrowed down to Cagliari, and the holographic projection in front of Joanna presents the royal family��s plan. During this period of tours and visits, together with the help of the local government, they have obtained intuitive data, and they have one by one. Added to future plans.


    Joanna said to them: "I want to invest in the above projects in the next few years to improve the country''s economy and culture, making it more in line with the needs of future development and more recognized on the international stage. I also hope that you can contribute to This process helps."


    "We will all serve Her Majesty the Queen." The ministers said sensiblely. Just like Joanna will unconditionally approve the bills of the Parliament, the Queen''s proposals are generally agreed in a standard format. The government and the people are looking forward to the changes brought by the royal family to the country, and no one is stupid.


    "Very good!" Joanna nodded.


    ��


    After greeting each department, the project was immediately given the green light.


    In fact, as early as the first half of the year, many plans had begun to take shape. The earliest urban planning map divided the old city and the new city. The old city remained basically unchanged and retained its culture. Create an economic center.


    It is also a place full of high-rise buildings and concentrated financial and commercial institutions.


    The royal family and the government spent money to buy back the land outside the urban area, and will rebuild a modern city on it, surrounding the capital. Construction started in June, the land was flattened in July, construction started in August, and foreign investment was accepted, but the central location set was monopolized by the royal family.


    Except for the enterprises in the northern Sassari economic zone, some enterprises owned by Anfeng have been transferred to the economic center area, including superconductor companies and GP companies, and gradually become the headquarters of the European region. Angle Industries and Robotics also set up offices here.


    There are also banks, financial companies, foreign-invested companies, etc. Due to the consortium''s personal connections and local tax incentives, the consortium is optimistic about the rise here. In stock terms, it means "doing more", investing in companies, land, and office buildings. Malls have plans.


    Moreover, the employees in the European branch tend to be elites��because of the country��s conditions, Anfeng decided to deal in high-value commodities from the very beginning��so the arrival of elites can also promote the overall atmosphere. If the economic conditions are good and the natural environment is good, they are potential immigrants.


    This country has a policy of absorbing elite immigrants.


    As for the Royal Academy of Sardinia, it was established by a foundation under the royal family. An Feng arranged for Hal and Eve to serve as vice presidents. In the future, An Feng will transfer encyclopedia knowledge to them, and artificial intelligence will properly remind them , or lead research and development work, and burst out various technologies.


    The Royal Academy is not suitable for being in a downtown area. Choose a place close to the old city, and also delineate the area of ??a university, and artificial intelligence is also an honorary professor. An Feng put in a little more effort and called some helpers from the United States who had made him angry. The group of Nobel Prize winners must be interested.


    It is said that Case and the others, because the starting point is too high, no other research institutions in the world can satisfy them, and the medical association''s projects are also limited. They hope to have more difficult... GP company''s super technicians too. The money is enough, but the spirit is empty, and I want to challenge the top.


    An Feng offered good conditions for them to be professors, and at the same time gave them some topics... Nobel experts gathered. Although the school has no history and no reputation, if the Nobel Prize can be awarded every year, is there any future? An Feng wrote a lot of names, feeling bright.

 Chapter 462： public event

    Chapter 462 Public Activities


    An Feng��s cultural influence and elite immigration strategy, when implemented, kill two birds with one stone.


    Afterwards, he discussed with Joanna and continued to refine the idea. Joanna is also aware of the powerful learning ability of artificial intelligence, so she has great confidence in academics and technology. At the same time, these unique advantages will continue to attract visa elites, who are potential candidates for immigration.


    Sardinia has a population of 1.5 million. According to the land area, a population of about 6 million is more appropriate. However, the country pursues an elite immigration policy, and the country is small, so it does not follow the American set. It attracts elites and prevents immigrants of mixed quality from joining and messing up the society.


    Currently, the social atmosphere in Sardinia is very good. The Queen''s support rate remains high, the crime rate is very low, and some of them are gangs from foreign countries. An Feng naturally hoped that this good order would continue, and that it could influence immigrants and inherit this fine tradition.


    It doesn��t matter if the population growth is slow, there are not enough people and machines make up for it!


    In addition to the key construction in Cagliari, An Feng is already discussing with the consortium to consider transferring Maserati from Turin, Italy to Sardinia, and by the way, its Jeep brand can also be transferred. He considers that Jeep will also involve some Military industry, such as military vehicles.


    The result of the discussion later is that the Maserati headquarters can be transferred, but the main factories still have to be in Turin and California, because of resource and transportation considerations, but the business of high-end handmade cars can be transferred to Sardinia, such as purely handmade cars. Sports cars, limited editions and more.


    The implementation of the plan can be postponed for a few years. What the local area is facing is not a high unemployment rate, but an oversupply of jobs. Too many large companies have settled in, and local residents have many choices. Even if foreign employees are stationed, the jobs that can be provided are also Relatively numerous.


    The last item is about aerospace companies.


    An Feng originally wanted to wait for a while to deal with it, but with Starry Sky Exploration''s breakthrough in the aerospace aircraft engine, it also promoted the development of the aerospace aircraft field, and the project test in Tanzania has been stalled for two months, An Feng did not want to Let the money go to waste and keep restarting the project.


    After several days of on-the-spot inspections by his assistants and government officials, he chose the province of Cagliari and the province of Medio-Campidano in the west. The site selection was as wide as possible, but due to the limitation of the country��s land area, it was not too wide. If there are people living around the area, it is not easy to choose.


    So the open area at the junction of the two provinces is the first choice. It is also close to the coast, and many tests can be carried out on the sea surface to avoid noise. Overseas bases are also good places for testing. If it is an aerospace aircraft, it can take off in Sardinia and land in Tanzania at supersonic speed.


    The distance between the two places is more than 6,000 kilometers, and they span some undeveloped African countries. Not to mention fighter planes, even radars may not be able to cover high altitudes. Some backward ones are temporarily confused about what radar is. The Royal Aerospace Corporation will also be engaged in the development of civilian aircraft.


    ��


    The repair plan is arranged, and the wallet is empty again.


    An Feng can be regarded as borrowing money to survive, and his life is a bit tight. A while ago, he bought Chanel shares, which only accounted for 30% of the shares. But this makes other people in the world who can''t even touch the shares feel so embarrassed, and dare to ask for debts to survive. Can other people still use it?


    He doesn''t care about these things. If he is not short of money, he can directly take 51% of the controlling stake in the Chanel Group and become another royal brand of the Queen. This is all thanks to a certain period of decline in the European economy and the bottom-hunting of the consortium taking advantage of the situation, as well as the success of the US leverage strategy.


    In addition to the heavy damage to the French population and economy, the major shareholder behind the scenes who has never let go, crawling at the feet of the giant consortium, An Feng finally disintegrated the interior of the empire, and obtained a 30% share for Joanna, and at the same time enjoyed a unique customization Luxury.


    Although the shares have gone out, it seems to be a win-win situation.


    After all, Queen Joanna herself is the most influential person on the planet. Every time she makes an appearance and her clothes are favored and imitated by many fans, Chanel has her endorsement and earns money without spending advertising fees. . Except for the loss of shares.


    Due to her numerous appearances, brands including Chanel, Prada, Hermes and Eli Saab currently provide her with customization. The queen''s daily clothing is also taken over by young brands such as C&W. Her annual clothing consumption alone...the general royal family can''t support it.


    ��


    Before visiting Denmark in December, they had two invitations.


    The first item is more interesting. A local amusement park opened in Cagliari. Ms. Roberts considered that the royal family should be more friendly to the people, so she suggested that the whole family go out and go to the playground. They also asked Lubianshe, the largest local news media indirectly controlled by Anfeng, to send some photos.


    Lubianshe is a magical media... It owns a broadcasting company, five TV stations, a movie entertainment company, a news channel and a sports channel, and is also involved in the sale of news newspapers. Although it was established relatively late, because of the royal family''s wealth and wealth, it was directly pushed to the top.


    The second item is very formal: an invitation from China. Chinese leaders hope that they can visit China in March, and at the same time conduct business cooperation, such as superconductors and smart industry issues. Due to the blockade of the West, China''s industry has always been independently developed, but after all, there is a gap with the international advanced level. An Feng could not do this when he was in the United States. Now it is different, and he wants to play the emotional card.


    Joanna agreed to both.


    The royal family is also better for the people. Like the last time the couple dressed up for a holiday and crossed the road hand in hand, they received unanimous praise. Joanna doesn��t like to engage in the mysteries of the British royal family. She represents the new era, not old men and old ladies. The mental outlook is upward.


    After the two children had a holiday in December, they decided to set off one morning. The local climate is warm and the temperature will not be too low in winter, so the two-piece suit is just right. Today''s weather is also good, sunny, the sun shines on the street warmly, and people who go out for activities are very leisurely.


    The child��s mother took off her queen��s identity, dressed in dresses and coats, and the little princess also matched with her mother, but she just changed her front teeth recently. She usually likes to smile, but she evades the camera. An Feng picked up Fred and let him walk for a while on his neck.


    Two half-grown corgis also followed around them excitedly.


    The photographer recorded this very loving scene, and also liked to close-up the little princess hiding behind her mother.


    Because the parents are too dazzling, the children are also very concerned, especially in China, they have formed a group of enthusiastic fans, namely those who are planning to let their sons marry Princess Alice, and those who are going to let their daughters marry Prince Fred. Hang up the title of "in-laws".


    Netizens are very eloquent, and the Chinese official blog opened under much anticipation, quickly surpassed one million fans. Occasionally, for some official events, certain people would choose to post them on it, and the lively discussions continued, making it a hard-hit area for marrying daughters and letting sons marry...


    The opening day of the playground is the weekend. Many parents bring their children here. There are many activities for different groups, including adults and children. The Ferris wheel can be played by the whole family, rising slowly, overlooking the whole city and the coast, and enjoying another view when descending.


    Exciting projects such as roller coasters are generally played by adults.


    Of course, the screams of bear children came from time to time. Alice was eager to try, but she was not old enough, so she could only play the children''s version, which was not much fun... The royal family tried every item with a smile on their faces, and the masses had some modest requests , Group photos and the like will also be implemented.


    The cameraman insisted on taking some good photos of the activities, the two children playing, the expression of Alice puffing up her mouth after being "not allowed" by her mother, the occasional cute appearance of the little prince Fred Wang''s amusement projects, and The smiles of their queen and prince...


    The people-friendly activity was very successful, but it was a bit tiring to pose for the camera after all. After playing for two hours, they went to the pier in Cagliari and went out to sea on a yacht. The work of the reporter also ended here, and the roadside society released carefully selected photos the next day to share the joy with everyone.


    They didn''t relax until they got on the yacht. At least the public had never seen their Queen sunbathing in a bikini. The sun was warm today. She lay down and flipped through the magazines. There were a lot of reports about her recently. An Feng beside him yawned: "It feels like the whole old town is full of vitality."


    "It''s the children''s laughter that adds youthfulness." Joanna said, "I think it''s good to add some entertainment items appropriately."


    "It''s not bad." An Feng nodded, "At least Alice didn''t notice that the photo of missing front teeth was taken today, didn''t she?"


    Joanna laughed: "It feels like you are a child."


    An Feng looked back at Alice who was eating dessert, and she reminded Fred verbosely: "You don''t taste good like this, no, it''s not right..."


    An Feng said: "Alice, just let Fred choose once, okay?"


    "But he''s so stupid." Alice frowned, and didn''t care about Fred''s hurt eyes. He is already proficient in multi-digit multiplication and division now, and her sister...


    "Then he has to learn to become smart?" An Feng looked at her.


    Alice was right after thinking about it, and pushed the plate to him: "Come on, Fred, be careful tonight if you have diarrhea tonight and you won''t be able to sleep at night and you won''t be able to wake up the next day..."


    An Feng laughed: "You really don''t make people worry."


    Joanna also smiled and said: "All children are like this. But there is a question, New Year, I mean Spring Festival, how do you plan to spend it?"


    The Chinese New Year is in early February, and the foreign visit is scheduled in March. As the first official visit, it should obviously be later, but the Spring Festival is ahead... An Feng can only break the plan: "Next time, we will Not inviting my parents over, or going to California?"


    "Go over there!" Alice immediately raised her hand, and then said weakly: "I want to play with my friends..."


    "I promise you!" Joanna convinced her.

 Chapter 463： state visit

    Chapter 463 State Visit


    After the visit to Denmark, Christmas and New Year came one after another.


    Like last year, Joanna gave a New Year speech. When the audience saw the new queen on TV, the royal family was already in California, spending the holiday with their family in the vineyard. Their parents and relatives on both sides were present, celebrating the New Year lively.


    After the meal, we discussed some leisurely topics, travel and shopping, etc.


    There is no rhetoric that you can��t see them all year round. Everyone has sufficient funds, a few air tickets, and the cost of a trip is very easy. There is no job, and the children have grown up. Like Frank and Kelly, they will only stay in the United States for three years this year. months, the rest of the time was spent traveling.


    In addition to these, there are also serious topics related to the members.


    Because they belong to the "Royal Generation", they have no foundation, so most of the members of the royal family are derived and do not have titles. Although Joanna can confer titles on them, everyone is very cautious. Conferring titles is a serious matter after all. From Kelly''s point of view, it''s not just about honor, it''s about responsibility.


    I feel that it is still necessary to have some nobles, imprints of kingdom culture, and perfect the kingdom��a kingdom can��t just have the royal family, right? In the future, when the royal family holds balls, parties or fundraising activities, the nobles will naturally need to come out to support the scene and lead by example.


    At present, there are not many family members who meet the requirements. Andy, who is about to graduate, may be able to, as long as he is willing to give up his American citizenship and go to Sardinia to develop, conduct some social training, and do something influential. With the education he received, he was qualified to become a hereditary nobleman.


    In addition to these, there are some very capable candidates from An Feng. There are family friends from Europe in the consortium, and because of the dual nationality franchise, they are considering holding Sardinian nationality, and the queen will confer titles on these upper-class tycoons.


    ��


    After living there for a few days, return to Sardinia.


    The two children Alice and Fred continue to go to school. There are more students in the school, and most of them are children of rich families. They hope to receive orthodox education with the prince and princess. Except that there are more etiquette and conversation courses, there is nothing special, but Westerners will follow the crowd.


    In early March, the queen of Sardinia officially set off.


    Regarding the arrangements for her visit to China, she brought four cabinet ministers, fifteen officials, the upcoming ambassador to China, and forty-five company representatives. Her attitude was very serious. On the matter of joining the United Nations and the World Trade Organization, China''s opinion is very important.


    Joanna discussed diplomacy with officials in the conference room, and An Feng also chatted with several company representatives. The commercial atmosphere is strong, and the Chinese side is interested in superconductor cables, generators, and the very important issue of cooperation in industrial machinery. Due to the small size of the country, the country also has to invest in overseas enterprises.


    Talked about some key points, Joanna returned to the second floor to rest in the middle of the flight, and when the plane entered the Chinese airspace, she was woken up, and the accompanying female attendant made some repairs to her makeup, and then the plane arrived in City B, ready to land at the international airport. There are already crowds of people below.


    The Queen of Sardinia was invited to visit China, the official gave a very high-standard reception, there was a welcome team and a passenger elevator car with a red carpet on the scene, and the news media was well prepared. It can be seen that they have a rigorous attitude. Although it is a small country, it has great potential.


    The welcoming team waited patiently, with little discussion. Finally, the Queen''s special plane appeared, and the huge Boeing 747 landed on the runway, taxied for a certain distance and stopped. The English and Italian fonts on the plane are clearly visible, and the national flag on the tail also shows its identity.


    The "Queen One", nicknamed by the outside world, is also a hot topic of discussion, because it is full of high technology, first of all, it is a completely different graphene surface skin, which is dozens of times stronger, but lighter than before. Avionics, radar and electronic protection systems...According to outside estimates, the cost of Queen 1 is about one billion US dollars. The appearance is domineering, and the interior is also full of luxury.


    It''s a pity that the inside is not open to the public, people can only look at the outside and imagine.


    The plane turned to the front of the crowd, and the passenger elevator car picked it up. People''s eyes and cameras were all aimed at the cabin door. A few seconds later, Joanna in a rose red dress and An Feng in a suit and dress appeared at the cabin door. Facing applause and cameras, they waved.


    The process they have gone through many times, they are familiar with going down the stairs, followed by officials, diplomats, and finally business representatives. Joanna and An Feng walked in the front, and beside them was an interpreter who decorated the appearance, but the couple were both familiar with Chinese, and the interpreter was just for show.


    The welcome process is very common, queuing up to shake hands. They and the officials who came to greet each other greeted each other and were presented with flowers, as did the follow-up troops.


    The on-site camera was responsible for recording this scene, and the couple boarded the car after the welcome process was over.


    The specifications of the state guest car are similar to those experienced by Anfeng more than ten years ago. They sat in the official car, with the national flags of the two countries on both sides of the front of the car. On the road that has been cleared, colorful flags flutter.


    An Feng looked away from the window: "It feels so familiar."


    They used to hang out as a couple of diplomats more than ten years ago. At the beginning, they had no idea that one day they would become specially entertained objects, and they would make official visits under such high-standard treatment and special reports. Looking back, life is a wonderful thing.


    The mighty motorcade of state guests passed through the city and arrived near the Great Hall. After getting off the bus and queuing to shake hands, the guard of honor of the three armed forces at the square outside the East Gate immediately held a welcome ceremony for the visiting foreign heads of state, playing the national anthem in a serious manner, and the queen and ** **Just stand in a row and solemnly accept the whole process.


    Joanna under the lens of the camera is very eye-catching. Her rose red dress today is very enthusiastic. She originally considered Chinese red, but the style did not match, so she finally chose a darker rose red. In the process of reviewing the guard of honor of the three armed forces accompanied by the chairman, she deserves the title of "the most beautiful queen".


    There are many people who love the An family all over the world, and China is no exception. The Queen��s visit is also treated specially by the TV station. The process from getting off the car to shaking hands to reviewing the troops was staged in the form of live broadcast, and many people turned on the TV for the first time. , take a look at this friendly process.


    The camera took a good look at An Feng. He and the representatives of the officials were standing in a row nearby. Fans all think he is worthy of the queen''s beauty.


    An Feng didn''t know that there would be so many discussions among the people, he just asked himself to maintain a good image.


    After the official ceremony, we will walk into the reception hall together for the first visit meeting. The venue is a very classic scene and hall, where senior leaders exchanged feelings between the two countries. It was very formal, but it also reflected the etiquette and demeanor of the country. The queen also speaks more authentic Mandarin.


    After so many years with An Feng, she has also learned a lot of words.


    After the first meeting, they lived in a suite in a hotel according to the arrangement of the Queen''s accompanying attendant, and the rest of the officials and company representatives also stayed in the same hotel. They have to prepare to attend the state banquet in the evening. In addition to the state leaders, representatives of companies and enterprises from both sides are present.


    This will be an occasion where state affairs and business affairs are carried out together.


    After changing her dress at night, An Feng took out a few ribbons brought from China and asked her, "Do you need to use it?"


    This thing is exclusively used by the royal family and is not particular about it, but when visiting European countries, it is generally used for dinner parties and other occasions. China is obviously not, but there are also visiting monarchs who use it... Joanna thought about it, and the reason is very strong: "Don''t you think Is the bow at the end cute?"


    "What?" An Feng looked down, and besides the cross knot, there was also a small bow added... The majesty of the royal family is sprouting...


    She smiled happily.


    Finally it was used. If she wanted to match the dress, she had to wear an emerald brooch to embellish it. An Feng didn''t care, as long as it matched her.


    After the preparations were completed, they took a special car to the hotel where the state banquet was held for foreign guests. Security forces had been added unknowingly around them. Special agents in suits walked around. For the places where the two heads of state stayed, they also had to pay attention to safety, although they hardly something wrong.


    An Feng got out of the car first, and asked Joanna to take his arm to enter the arena.


    There is a female welcome in a traditional Chinese cheongsam at the entrance, with a warm smile. There are also active bodyguards after entering the arena, but they are very concealed. Out of habit, An Feng glanced at the legendary masters... Party guests entered the arena, and the two of them received the most attention.


    The cheongsam female receptionist asked them to sit down in the special seats, and then the leaders sat down one by one, and the rest of the guests sat down according to the list. As usual, Joanna gave a short speech to celebrate the scene of friendship and prosperity... and then the theme of the meal began.


    Nowadays, the specifications for foreign guests and state banquets are relatively simple, three dishes and one soup, but there is a very famous "Buddha jumping over the wall". It lasted for three days and three nights, and when the altar was opened, it was fragrant and tasted fresh and mellow.


    At the banquet, the special Chinese food also became a topic of conversation. The two heads of state could communicate normally without an interpreter. The whole process was very pleasant. As the bond of this meeting, An Feng also joined the high-level conversation to discuss some diplomatic views. Attitude towards development etc.


    But mainly for the queen, he is just a foil.


    Other matters, such as business cooperation, need to be carefully negotiated. Tonight is the first meeting between the two parties. If the talks are suitable, they will continue to look for a place to negotiate in the next few days after Joanna''s visit. It is a great thing to be able to reach a cooperation.


    An Feng found that there was a lot of business, but some conditions were not easy, such as the transfer of technology, which is the cost of living for his companies. Generally, they do not transfer, but they can talk about mutual cooperation. There are also some industrial technologies involving sensitive machines. While Sardinia has not yet joined the EU or other groups, you can consider taking advantage of the loopholes. The two sides are talking about cooperation on the surface, but secretly they are already testing the bottom line of prices.


    The Chinese side very much hopes that important cooperation can be negotiated, and they also set aside big orders, such as the construction of the superconducting magnetic levitation railway. This is an investment of hundreds of billions, and the profit is considerable, and then they will play the emotional card... This trick is good for Anfeng , He didn''t want to have trouble with his hometown.


    But after all, he now represents a different identity, so he can only facilitate it as much as possible, so as not to make the country passive or too bad. Other things can be considered, and a good person must have a bottom line. There are no pure people in the world. Feelings are the basis of cooperation, and mutual benefit is the key after the foundation.

 Chapter 464： special passport

    Chapter 464 Special Passport


    When they had a state dinner in the evening, the news series also ran.


    In the 30-minute content, five minutes were dedicated to the grand event of the Queen of Sardinia''s visit, obviously to save face, the anchor described the warm welcome of the people all over the country...Joanna''s rose-red ready-to-wear is indeed very photogenic. An Feng kept a low profile and did not escape the camera.


    The next day there will be state affairs discussions, mainly on the diplomatic aspect, the establishment of consulates in China, and the policy of visas between the two places��mainly for business visas. The queen brought her foreign ministers and ambassadors to China to attend. After the end, he headed south to City S non-stop at noon.


    The purpose is also political exchanges and business cooperation. In City B, tens of billions of orders have been settled, some of which are available in Europe and the United States, but they will not sell you technology. Sardinia used the time before joining the EU to take advantage of the opportunity to make extra money, while China also took advantage of the vacancy, and both parties were satisfied.


    Sardinia is in the period of vigorous development, and there are great demands in all aspects. At present, we are actively looking for partners. The most common problem is the supply of raw materials. The procurement representatives of Anshi Industries may have to reach an agreement with Chinese companies, special projects Provide materials for 3D printers.


    The production and manufacturing of basic materials are generally not available in Sardinia, because of the limitations of the country and the highly developed technology, their commodity output is high-end and finished. The demand for raw materials and semi-finished products mainly depends on foreign factories or suppliers.


    International interviews have become multiple businesses, and the potential trade volume in the next few years will reach tens of billions of euros. The mutual exchange model will drive a virtuous circle of trade. Chinese companies value Sardinia''s technology, and Sardinia is optimistic about local investment costs in China.


    The news series also broadcast the news of the Sardinian delegation for three consecutive days, signaling to the society that China supports the common prosperity and sustainable development of Sardinia. Some countries are also in a hurry, and seize the time to send out invitations and want to talk about technical cooperation.


    Because the intelligence capabilities of a country are not to be judged. Both China and the United States are aware of the advanced technology here. Take the typical Angle industry, which used to give people the impression of spending money on useless technology. The overall industrial strength shocked the world.


    When the United States wanted to get in-depth contact, Angus Industries had moved to Sardinia. Although there was still a branch in California, there were not many technicians, and the rest were also engaged in atmospheric processor projects. What''s more, this is controlled by a large consortium, and the US government cannot come here casually.


    Now that China has seized the opportunity, the United States is naturally not far behind.


    The President of the United States sent an invitation, hoping that Her Majesty the Queen will visit the United States in May to conclude a friendly relationship between the two countries.


    Currently, Sardinia is following the path of peaceful development, and generally will not refuse friendly diplomatic matters. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the United States agreed on a time when the Queen is free, and gave an accurate answer that she would visit the United States in mid-May. In An Feng''s view, it will be another opportunity to do business.


    ��


    Stayed in City S for two days, leaving an afternoon of private time to gather with a few friends to talk about local investment policies, development directions, etc. Old friends Xiang Yang and Wu Chao are both interested, and the Wang family of the consortium also has plans. An Feng also attracted foreign capital for the country.


    In response to some friendly invitations that may be related, they went south to visit Anfeng''s hometown, and the provincial capital is not considered his hometown... As a person of the head of state level, the custom is to close the road ahead of time, and welcome teams are arranged on both sides. National flag, more lively than the capital.


    An Feng looked out the window and shook his head: "Don''t engage in these formalities, it''s better to be calm."


    After hearing this, the chief secretary of the co-pilot realized that the flattery was almost on the horse''s leg. He originally wanted to make it lively and make An Feng honor his ancestors, but Your Excellency the Duke doesn''t like high-profile and doesn''t want to cause trouble The character of the masses. Now the entire provincial capital likes to build relationships. It is glorious to say that there is a prince in the province of X. The local area once hung up a banner saying "Warmly celebrate the successful coronation of Prince An''s wife, Queen Joanna"...


    Due to the strong halo, An Feng''s parents also received condolences and special care from the leaders, but the quiet old couple couldn''t cope with it, so they went to Lake City for vacation at the invitation of Wang Le''s father. Wang Shida introduced them many Friends, the old men and women in the villa area are also well-informed people. An Feng''s parents can get along well with them, so they simply settled down in the local area.


    The convoy passed through the city''s main road and came to the city government building. All the leaders were looking forward to it in the cold wind. They were not afraid of the severe cold. The representatives of the masses were full of joy. The news workers were dedicated to their jobs...Of course this is future news Anchor narration that may appear in .


    However, the joy of the crowd can be seen. Many young people among the crowd who are allowed to watch are fans of the couple. Among them, there may also be fans of the little prince and the little princess. They plan to call them father-in-law and mother-in-law in the future... But the police at the scene Keep them serious.


    After getting off the bus, the leaders stood in a row in the cold wind. The queen and the prince went to shake hands with them, took a few photos for the camera, and then stepped into the government building. They organized a welcome party. Unlike An Feng''s previous impression, the link where the leader delivered an important speech was successfully removed.


    This time, there is no longer a process where the first leader speaks for an hour, the second leader speaks for 40 minutes, and the third leader also reads the manuscript.


    They and their party must not be interested in listening to the repetitive and persevering spirit. It is enough to listen to a few welcome speeches, and Joanna also has a few speeches. What makes the leaders proud is that the queen speaks Chinese, and these two minutes are much more effective than two hours of spiritual implementation.


    Then... end the activity and stay at the local hotel.


    In the afternoon, there is an itinerary that An Feng is interested in��to visit the school invested and assisted by the foundation. It took several hours for the convoy to arrive at the Bruce International Friendship School. In the afternoon, the students were in class. In view of the lessons learned in the morning, the secretary hurriedly canceled all high-profile welcome activities.


    So when I arrived, I was surrounded by what to do. Only some leaders of the school came out to welcome them. The students attended the school honestly and lined up to welcome the leaders. The leader is An Feng''s cousin, An Hui, who is still the principal and director of the foundation.


    "You two distinguished guests are very welcome!" An Hui stepped forward and said without the leader saying much. She curtsied to Joanna as a lady. sentence. Then she also performed the same etiquette to An Feng.


    In the end, he is a teacher by example and taught everyone a lesson.


    The subsequent visits are always reassuring. The construction of the school is very good. According to Anhui''s introduction, this school is very popular and there is competition for places. The expanded middle school has sent many excellent students overall , and may be "exported" in the future.


    Visiting schools is the most satisfying process for Anfeng. Over the years, the foundation has assisted China''s education, built more than 300 schools, and sponsored thousands of students. Hundreds of them are enthusiastic about charity after graduation, and even successfully applied for the foundation. job post.


    This is also considered a complete thing.


    After class, Joanna chatted with some primary school students and took a group photo with them who were ignorant. Her heartfelt smile was recorded when she was with the children. This is because she was welcomed in line, special attention and reports did not appear past smile.


    ��


    The visit to the south ended on the second day, and we returned to Lake City to make some private arrangements, that is, to have a meal with An Feng''s parents and stay for a day. The tasks of other government personnel and business representatives were also almost completed. They left the airport the next afternoon and returned to Sardinia.


    In mid-March, the Immigration Bureau specially approved some citizen passports.


    Issuing passports for immigrants is very rare at present, because after obtaining a green card, you have to wait for five years of assessment before you can apply to become a citizen. These passports are implemented in accordance with the supplementary provisions of the immigration law, including high-level talents and people who will contribute to the country.


    Immigration officials personally send part of the passports to the Queen''s House, and this part will be issued by her.


    An Feng also notified the people who obtained the passports, all of them are his friends, important members of the consortium, and can have an impact on the world economy.


    There are quite a lot of bosses, almost everyone who participated in the island purchase plan last time.


    They arrived at the appointed time at the end of March. The location was at the Royal Palace. Officials from the local immigration bureau came to the scene. They took an oath to the national flag according to batches and voluntarily became Sardinian citizens. After the end, there will be a link to sing the national anthem. Italian is not good. Just lip-sync.


    Then the Queen handed over passports to them one by one.


    Bazel is one of the special ones. He holds passports from the three countries, but he is currently planning to remove his American identity and keep the British and Sardinian ones, which also means that the affairs of the United States will be handed over to other family members. And because of the success of the consortium''s strategy, part of the focus will be concentrated in Europe.


    Others, such as Matthew, Andrew, Austin, etc., also hold their own nationality for convenience. Of course, Roger��s is indispensable. His tendency to immigrate is very firm, and it seems that he wants to get a knighthood. Now it seems that it is not a joke. It is said that his family has arranged missions in Europe, and dual citizenship is more convenient.


    After the passports are issued, a private dinner will be held at the hotel in the evening, and the naturalization will naturally be celebrated. Sardinia is just a small country at present, which is not very eye-catching, but its future potential cannot be ignored. The reason why big countries are so enthusiastic about wooing them is the same.


    At the same time, the bigwigs are also discussing some economic investment plans, or buying real estate in the local area... In fact, people like them who have so much money are more concerned about reputation issues, such as the title of nobility, which is a person in European society. status symbol.


    People live in this world, isn''t it for money and status?


    Joanna gave suggestions and reminders, promising to arrange the awarding plan as soon as possible. An Feng is also willing to bestow nobles with temperament and wealth to decorate the facade of the kingdom.


    So everyone raised their glasses: "For the future and the queen!"

 Chapter 465： Moncalieri Palace

    Chapter 465 Moncalieri Palace


    In late March, the cruise company sent a notice that the world''s largest cruise ship "Queen Joanna II" ordered by An Feng more than three years ago had been completed and was about to go on trial voyage. It was originally estimated that the construction time would be two and a half years, but due to the onset of disease, it was delayed to more than three years, and now it is finally completed.


    Currently, the cost of this 250,000-ton super cruise ship is 2.6 billion US dollars, which is not as high as An Feng''s estimate of more than 3 billion. It seems quite...frugal. But after he was notified, he already regretted it a bit. The mooring of this behemoth was a big trouble.


    Originally he planned that the Queen II would take the Mediterranean route, centering on Sardinia, and traveling around the sea for a week. This idea is very good. The Mediterranean Sea is also a popular route for cruise tourism, but the problem is that the ports of call cannot meet the conditions, and there are only a few ports along the way that meet the conditions.


    Finally, he had to compromise with reality. The Queen II could not travel happily in the Mediterranean Sea, so he decided to send it to the most popular cruise tourist area in the world��the Caribbean Sea. The local area is probably one of the few areas in the world where super cruise ships can be parked smoothly along the way.


    Therefore, the world''s largest, most luxurious, and most royal cruise ship missed Europe. It will sail along the Atlantic Ocean to Florida. Ocean Shipping Company will help Anfeng manage the cruise ship, and it is expected to make its maiden voyage in May. , but the date of Joanna''s visit to the United States.


    If she can attend the inaugural ceremony and leave some photos of the event, it will be icing on the cake. The name of the cruise ship is taken from the real queen, and all aspects of equipment are also built according to top specifications. With so many titles, it will definitely attract tourists from all over the world, and thus become famous overseas.


    It is only March now, and there is still some time before May.


    Conventionally, Joanna continued to visit European countries, mainly focusing on developed countries.


    As the husband of the queen, An Feng also accompanied him all the way, just like the "intimate" evaluation given by the outside world, the queen must have him on every important occasion. The gestures of the two people''s eyebrows have also been captured by countless cameras, and they can be regarded as a model of happiness among royal couples.


    After returning from their trip to Norway in April, they visited the Moncalieri Palace.


    The palace is about to be completed. More than 10,000 robots work day and night at a high density. The main construction has been completed as early as December, and the interior decoration will start after January, such as doors, windows, glass and other home decoration work. According to the progress, it is expected Delivery in August.


    This is a marvel of construction speed.


    From June last year, when the land was leveled, to July, when the construction officially started, the main body of the building only took more than five months. According to Eve''s calculations, this is equivalent to about six years of normal labor. The architect used a lot of computer drawings, just Even the details of the sculpture are stored in the computer.


    The 3D printer accurately restores the building. Although it is not hand-carved and has the feeling of an assembly line, it is more special��as the first royal palace completely made by a 3D printer, it is more significant than continuing the previous routine, so the designer No fuss.


    When it was about to be completed, the architect invited them to visit.


    First of all, considering the future environment, the surroundings of the palace have been rectified. A spacious two-way six-lane lane passes through the entrance. There are no towering buildings around, and the view is spacious. There is a fountain square in front of the palace. As a public area, it can accommodate 300,000 people during celebrations or gatherings.


    There are traffic lanes on both sides of the square, and a row of iron fences stretching to the left and right. The center is a magnificent gate, but it is not usually used. Vehicles usually enter through the side doors on both sides. There are guards standing guard at the main entrance, and a sentry box is set up nearby, which can be used for rest and preparation for the changing of the guard.


    They took a battery car to visit the palace slowly, first entered from the main entrance, in front of them was a row of white and blue buildings, about 50 meters away from the front garden, this distance was just enough to ensure the quietness of the palace, without being disturbed by the outside world, but it was acceptable The attention of the masses.


    Because it is a royal palace, it is used in many ways. If it is a grand ceremony such as the marriage of royal family members or enthronement, it is customary to stand on the balcony and wave to the crowd celebrating in the square. If you want to make a short speech, you must let people with good eyesight See exactly who is speaking.


    From the outside, the palace is not huge��different from the super rich that the royal family gives to the outside world, this colorful and lively palace is a "["-shaped building with a straight row and two ends turning back, with a total length of more than 150 Meters, 12 meters high, 15 meters wide, very strict proportions.


    Its appearance is not as majestic as palaces in other countries, but because it is for people to live in rather than a museum, the French king himself doesn''t like the emptiness of the Palace of Versailles, and it is even more boring to live there. Therefore, the color continues the style of Santa Barbara, which is very bright and lively.


    The most dazzling appearance is the golden dome in the center of the building, with the white cross flag and the royal family flag inserted.


    But other areas have reduced the use of local tyrant gold, trying to reflect the style of the royal family. On the front of the palace is a loggia with stone pillars, and directly in front of the door is a fountain. In the center of the pool is a marble sculpture, with naked women and warriors surrounding the stone pillars, and the water is diffuse.


    Bypassing the fountain, the first floor is mainly used for administrative offices.


    The most important thing is the news hall, which will be the queen''s administrative area, with luxurious decoration, and foreign officials will be guests here when they visit. There is a small office inside the chamber... Well, the palace should not be described as "small", it is prepared for the queen and assistants.


    In the back of the news hall, there is an audience hall for the monarch, where the monarch meets his subjects and listens to the report of the prime minister. It is relatively spacious here, and is generally used for the Queen''s speech or the monarch''s conferring ceremony. There are special steps in the room, with a throne on top, which has a very royal atmosphere.


    Continue to go inside, there is also a living room, the layout tends to be the living room, there are furniture and tea tables, and the environment used tends to be informal. Inside is the slightly smaller living room, or the living room, which is furnished in a home-casual style, where you can choose for usual family entertainment.


    There is a concert hall on the right. Spaciousness and luxury are the first elements, and it is also an area with more gold plating. Then there is the main banquet hall, which is not commonly used by families, but it is generally held here for state banquets and receptions for foreign guests. It is characterized by luxury, and it can accommodate hundreds of people for dinner after the long table is arranged.


    At the end are some exhibition halls of the royal family, which are divided into study rooms and antique collection halls. They are not used for private use, but are used for entertaining foreign guests. Like the previous halls, it is still in the later stage of decoration, and the lighting, central air conditioning, geothermal heating or ceiling painting must be completed as soon as possible.


    The main part of the first floor is the upper hall.


    Go up the stairs to the second floor. The space here is mostly for private use, and the layout is exquisite and full of life-like atmosphere. The rich gold only exists on the decorations. On the left and right sides is an inner corridor with a vault, about seven meters high. Use some church stained glass for the second story windows.


    There are a total of five balconies protruding outward in the inner corridor. The central balcony is the most spacious, facing the square and the street, and it is also a place where members of the royal family occasionally show up. Standing there and looking out, the field of vision is wide, and now you can see vehicles passing by occasionally in front of the square, but there are very few people.


    There are 25 bedrooms arranged in various styles on the second floor, concentrated on both sides of the end, and each has stairs leading to the first floor. The area up from the central welcoming staircase has been transformed into a study room, party hall, dance hall and family restaurant. It will also be an area commonly used by the family.


    Take a tour, the decoration is not yet over, but the effect is good, as the palace that will be passed on, not only this monarch, but also future monarchs will continue to use it. Therefore, the design concept is advanced, and the circuit system is also carefully designed to ensure long-term use and easy replacement.


    Taking into account both living and face, it is already impeccable. And it won''t last long, Joanna doesn''t plan to be a queen for the rest of her life, she will abdicate when the time is right, and the abdicated queen will definitely not live in the palace. Located by the sea, the mansion under construction is her ideal home.


    As for the back garden, it continues the atmosphere of the royal family and focuses on face-saving projects, so the design of the garden is very particular. The garden is symmetrical on the left and right. There is a flat road in the center, paved with gravel, and there is a square pool hundreds of meters long in front. On both sides are roads and gardens.


    The back garden tends to be used for ornamental purposes, with a beautiful appearance, but the actual use needs to be taken by car because of its huge size. In fact, it is more suitable to be smaller in this respect, but because it is a royal palace, the designer has considered a lot. The only compromise is the stables, which are allowed to own stables, and you can usually ride horses.


    As for other entertainment, such as swimming pools, there is no such thing.


    An Feng said: "I guess we have to put more surprises in St. Elmo."


    "The royal palace, which is both administrative and office-oriented, cannot be modified according to one''s wishes. After all, it will welcome many guests, including foreign guests." Joanna said, she is clear about this, "so I insisted on designing a family-style The house, too."


    "You still have a vision." An Feng looked back at the palace, "I have lived here for a long time, and I need to change my taste and go to a place full of life."


    "I agree." Joanna said, "Also, that place is no longer called ''House''."


    "why?"


    Joanna explains: ��Since we built a lot there, the residents have given it a name, ��Palazzo-Giovanna.����


    "Giovanna''s Palace." An Feng could understand the Italian, "Who is so thoughtful, and specially changed our unnamed house into a palace?"


    "I don''t know about that." Joanna shook her head.


    An Feng opened the car door for her, followed her into the car, and said, "After that, we have to grow trees around to protect the privacy of us stars."


    "I agree." Joanna nodded, "But the place is not small, I have seen it a few times, there are beaches and oceans, it will be very comfortable for leisure use."


    "We will retire there in the future." An Feng said.


    "Looking forward." She smiled, "However, what are you going to do with the remaining robots?"


    "Try not to let them be idle during the big development." An Feng said, "Oh, last time an official told me that there are relatively few residents in the northern Nuoro area, and our private land is also there. Land and slightly bullied mountains with lots of wildlife."


    "Hall Hunt?" she said.


    "That''s a good word!" An Feng nodded, "Build a hunting palace there for leisure, and there are more than 20,000 acres of idle land there."

 Chapter 466： Visit America

    Chapter 466 Visit to the United States


    Many projects that Anfeng invested in at the beginning are now under construction.


    It can be said that construction projects are underway all over the country. The port with the most frequent exchanges with the outside world operates 24 hours a day. Construction materials and other commodities are constantly being delivered from all over the world. Super-large freighters are constantly coming and going. Investors from all over the world are also paying attention. Aim here.


    All kinds of companies he considered have settled in one after another, and Cagliari''s economic high-tech zone is also under construction. In the past, there were peaceful vineyards, but now it is a construction site in full swing. Tens of billions of funds have been invested, and the royal family accounts for most of the investment funds. The rest are investors from all over the world.


    Some companies have started to operate. According to statistics from the Immigration Bureau and the immigration department, the number of work visas issued in the first quarter reached 20,000, most of which are enterprises run by the royal family, attracting outstanding employees from all over the world. They are also potential targets for immigration.


    The races and nationalities are different, and the employees are all selected by the company, who are aggressive and come here voluntarily. Although Sardinia''s economy is not top-notch, it is a developed country with a good environment for sure. European employees don''t mind coming to work here, and North American employees are fine too.


    As for the developed countries, the Ministry of Finance has released the national economic data of the previous year.


    In the most intuitive GDP, it reached 85 billion U.S. dollars, and the per capita GDP was 56,600 U.S. dollars. Calculated on a per capita basis, this is already a highly developed level, but the data for the first year has no reference. The biggest contribution to GDP is the royal family Controlled joint ventures and foreign enterprises.


    Beta Europe, Sardinia is only in charge of southern Europe, which brings in $35 billion in revenue. It has only been in operation for less than two quarters, and other companies only started operating in the fourth quarter, so there is a lot of room for growth , while the original economy was around $30 billion.


    The world''s economic media have talked about Sardinia''s economy. Although the total amount is insignificant, there is a foundation that no one can ignore-many of their companies have just been established, and their foreign trade policies have not yet been clarified. They are expected to join the United Nations this year. Other organizations will be postponed.


    The outside world has boldly predicted that Sardinia''s economy will skyrocket next year, and it will be stable after five years. At that time, Sardinia''s real economic strength will be. It is expected that next year it may exceed US$150 billion, and the per capita GDP will also reach a strong level of US$100,000.


    No matter what the outside world is like, the government is still very happy, with tens of billions of taxes, the wallet is bulging.


    With more money, the behavior became more generous. When the national defense and military expenditure items came out, Guli of the National Defense Commission proposed to purchase the exoskeleton project. Still talk to An Feng about the price.


    "Fifty sets of adjustable standard combat exoskeletons, the unit price is 600,000 Euros." Gu Li''s idea is this.


    "How do you want me to calculate the profit?" An Feng said.


    Guri said: "This is for future considerations. The capitalists can restrain their mentality first. In the future, when the government has money, I will continue to let them purchase some high-profit commodities. Although Anshi Industries monopolizes the country''s military industry, sooner or later there will be other competition. The opponent appeared..."


    "Okay." An Feng didn''t want to talk anymore, "The order of 30 million is not bad. Find a time to sign a contract with the person in charge and start production immediately."


    "I like it like this." Gu Li shook hands with him, "If there is nothing else, I will go to work."


    "Wait, the number of troops is increasing recently?" An Feng asked.


    "About 120 civil servants have been recruited." Gu Li said, "The others have not been moved. According to your business strategy, 2,000 people are enough."


    "It''s so pitiful to hear you say it." An Feng smiled, "When I have time, I''ll show you something fun, it''s guaranteed to be more interesting than training people."


    "Robot?" Guri asked.


    An Feng said: "Intelligent machines are much better than humans in all aspects."


    An Feng didn''t say the details, and continued to whet his appetite. But the rudimentary idea that the national defense force is part human and part machine can change a lot �� including courage and guts. An Feng never expected Italian soldiers to go to war. And if the robots are on the front line and they are controlling from the rear, it will be different.


    But this plan is not a short-term meeting, it has to be carried out slowly.


    ��


    After arriving in May, I plan to visit the United States.


    This time I also brought officials and company representatives. Talking about politics and business don��t conflict, and then I have to continue to be good friends and have a strong relationship...Politics is like this. Fortunately, Joanna doesn''t have to worry, she just needs to understand the government''s attitude towards a certain country, and how she should behave.


    Countries that are close to each other will naturally smile more, and those that are not well connected...the queen will not visit. The expressions she often practices are endowed with various meanings, and the government''s decisions and attitudes are the key to her use of expressions. In fact, being a queen is a bit tiring.


    Sleep in the room, wake up and get ready. The plane is about to enter US airspace. The United States sent fighter jets to escort, and the left and right two fighter planes escorted the Queen''s special plane into the US airspace and landed at the airport in Maryland, followed by a welcome at the airport, which was similar with minor differences.


    Statistics show that more than 150 million Americans support them, accounting for 45% of the US population, and their influence is impressive. So when they arrived, the people at the scene were also very enthusiastic. Some people cheered their names, and when they stood in rows to shake hands, both men and women saluted.


    Although Americans do not have the traditional European culture, their etiquette is not bad. Men nod and bow, women bend their knees and shake hands. This is true for Joanna and An Feng. Then I drove to Washington, and the road was closed some time in advance, and order was restored immediately after the convoy passed.


    The President of the United States held a grand welcoming ceremony for the Queen at the White House, and then met with citizens in rows, including adults and children. Everyone was very excited, and obviously they were not arrested. Some children waved the national flags of the two countries... This emotional card was well played.


    But Her Majesty the Queen is not like other heads of state. Everyone has to shake hands. First of all, she is a lady, and second, she is a monarch, so she has a lot of independent choice. She chooses some cute children, and the little girl with a fat face is the most pleasing to her, as is the little Zhengtai.


    The process is over, followed by talks in the White House.


    Because of An Feng and the consortium, the government is not very enthusiastic about the United States, because the current American economy is not very good, and secondly, the consortium does not like this government very much��the royal family representative consortium, which also affects the country. Conversations also centered on more polite exchanges.


    The United States has many projects that they want to cooperate with Sardinia��they are interested in Anshi Industries.


    Joanna also gave an ambiguous answer, asking the company representatives to talk about it. She is the queen, but she has no right to decide the company''s operations. Although everyone knows that her husband is the boss of the company. But when it comes to politics, if you don''t provoke others, it doesn''t mean that others won''t be wary of you.


    The conversation was a bit cold, and each topic ended in one or two sentences, and it was impossible to go deep.


    It was not until the dinner at the White House in the evening, in a more free occasion, that the emotional cards continued to be played. The president''s wife has the task on her shoulders. She positions herself as an admirer of the two and admires them very much. Then there is the upcoming Hollywood semi-biographical film "SFV", which is very much looking forward to.


    As soon as this topic came up, Joanna became interested.


    The first lady said: "The whole world knows that you and your husband played a role in that unforgettable disaster, but the details cannot be fully described in words. So I think this movie will definitely make people clear Get the whole truth."


    Joanna said: "I hope it can alert mankind. Staying awake in the face of disasters is the most important thing."


    The first lady said: "There are some things that should not have happened in this disaster, and unnecessary casualties have also been caused. It is worth warning us."


    During the disease disaster, millions of people died not from viruses, but from all kinds of chaos. This topic has been controversial in society. According to the habit of Hollywood, there will definitely be some plots of human infighting. Hearing what they said, even An Feng was looking forward to it.


    There were no cameras at the dinner, and the environment was relatively relaxed. There were many conversations, and even the world''s largest cruise ship was mentioned. An Feng did not expect that the influence of the Queen II would spread to the ears of the President of the United States. According to this trend , the future business may be very good.


    This visit can also be regarded as exposure to the wind direction of the United States.


    The domestic economy in the United States is not very good now. The reason is naturally that the consortium made them catch a cold, but the Texas consortium has also become a victim, so no one can blame it. In the end, it was An Feng and his group of behind-the-scenes people who benefited. Even though he is not in the United States, he can still influence here.


    The US government hopes to attract high-tech investment.


    However, there is little hope. The current operating structure is very suitable. The focus of the consortium is in Asia, while Europe and North America are already saturated. Asia and South America are potential points. The development plan of the consortium is in the next 50 years. After making a profit from this crisis, they began to place this huge amount of funds.


    The list of high-tech is uncertain, but other aspects are still possible, such as the export of 3D printer technology relaxed by Anshi Industries, and even aspects involving the military industry. They have already shared technology with China before, and Russia is also interested, and the United States is not far behind.

 Chapter 467： The movie is released [three more]

    Chapter 467 The movie is released ��Third watch��


    The second day of the visit is to visit, to tour around.


    On the third day, according to the requirements, the plane went south to Florida. The Queen''s visit is over, and this is a private part of the trip, because tomorrow Ocean Line''s new cruise ship "Queen Joanna II" will officially make its first commercial voyage, and they are here to support.


    It is impossible to participate in the maiden voyage, the time is not suitable, and the security and privacy are not protected. They saw the largest cruise ship ever built at the port pier. The giant''s body outshone all the large cruise ships around and became the most conspicuous overlord.


    Its cost is also unprecedented, with an average cost of more than 100 million US dollars per ton, which is dwarfed by any cruise ship. The only pity is that there are not many major ports where it can operate, unless it is traveling around the world, and it specifically calls at the major ports of each country.


    Accompanied by senior executives of Ocean Shipping, they boarded this giant cruise ship and walked around in the luxurious interior space. Compared with the previous Queen''s, its luxury level is even worse, and many unexpected things The projects are all brought up, pursuing the ultimate.


    What remains unchanged is that the No. 1 suite is still reserved on the top floor, which is not open and is only available for private use. Maybe someday in the future, if they are free, they can still visit with the whole family for leisure... After the visit, An Feng is very satisfied with the current results, and the money spent is acceptable.


    After the visit, An Feng went to the company to attend the meeting. According to the results of the discussion by the management, they plan to add two cruise ships to the Mediterranean route, specifically a round-the-clock trip centered on Sardinia, connecting Spain, France, Italy and Tunisia, with a tonnage of less than 200,000.


    "Two cruise ships, the Liberty Star and the Liberty Rebirth under construction, we set up a branch office in the port of Olbia in Sardinia, the first stop in Genoa, the second stop in Rome, and then come to Olbi Ya... What do you think of the 14-day sea voyage next?"


    An Feng nodded: "Let''s do it like this."


    He only treats the cruise company as entertainment, but he is lucky. This entertainment project can bring some profits after deducting the cost every year. Although it cannot make up for the cost of buying the cruise ship, it feels pretty good without him paying for the management. It''s best to be happy.


    After the visit on the third day, they returned.


    Before that, Roger spoke to him on the phone and agreed that they would meet in Cagliari.


    Back to Cagliari in the afternoon of the next day, the special car that went out to pick up Roger came back, and they hugged and greeted each other.


    "Brought you a gift." Roger handed the gift to him, "There is another surprise��the Blu-ray version of the movie "SFV" that has not yet been released, and it will hardly be changed. To be honest, I just got it, Haven��t watched it yet, I��ll give it to you for the first time.��


    "Really?" An Feng took the CD from Roger.


    Roger said: "Well, I read a little bit of the beginning."


    An Feng was deeply skeptical, and Roger smiled: "I finished watching it with Miranda, the effect is really good, you will be satisfied!"


    An Feng said: "It''s really casual to install it before it''s released, and you''re not afraid of leaks?"


    Roger said: "This is the copy given to me by the company. There is only one copy. Don''t worry unless you **** it from me."


    "Okay, let''s go and try first."


    There is a private theater in the hotel, but the conditions are far from An Feng��s at the beginning. The Blu-ray projectors are used here, and the digital projectors he used to be equipped with are all above 4K resolution. All come standard with 8K resolution.


    But no matter how bad it is, it is a home theater, with 7.1 surround sound channels, plus indoor lighting effects, and a moderate projection screen is still good. When Joanna, who is out, comes back, the two children will also join in the fun. This summer vacation is planned to be released in mid-June The first movie was staged ahead of schedule.


    The beginning of the story is before the virus outbreak, Ms. Roberts announced that Joanna and the foundation acquired the branch of the research center to form the Elizabeth Medical Institute. The camera turned to the busy backstage. The second assistant prepares water.


    The actress who played "Joanna" was in this state of star-studded, commanding tasks with a strong woman''s air, and then she appeared at the press conference in person. After the end, I switched to the conversation with her husband in the office, and the other side of her character was very gentle.


    In the first few minutes of the story, the actress showed the baroness''s calm and indifferent appearance, but her gentle and virtuous character in private. The story is still attractive. At the same time, the foreshadowing of the future was planted. It was An Feng''s decision to dismantle the research center, and Joanna wanted to form a medical association.


    The 140-minute story is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the superior life of the hero and heroine, reflecting the elegant temperament of the heroine, and the genius, husband and role model dad played by the hero. And this wonderfulness will also be fragmented in the future.


    The second part is very short, the story has ups and downs, the flu appears, and the experts of the Medical Association find something unusual. The scene turns to the United States, restoring the original facts, and then comes to the hero, showing his doubts about the vaccine, the heroine''s warning, and the subsequent conflicts.


    The third part is the climax of the film, which is also the place with the highest cost, employing a large number of extras, filming in many countries, and the vision of the air and the ground. The panic and despair of the coming doomsday, the leading role of the male protagonist and the independent role of the female protagonist are vividly displayed.


    The hero''s life is hanging by a thread. When the story is fast-paced, it suddenly slows down. He talks optimistically and encourages his family members in the hospital bed, and then switches to the scene of his death. Stand up strong afterwards...


    The ups and downs of the story are concentrated after the opening 30 minutes. The plot is very compact. The gloomy days are in sharp contrast to the life of the previous glamorous and rich people. It highlights the personalities of the two characters and creates a positive image. The rich man finally saved the world. .


    After watching the movie, An Feng applauded: "After watching it, I realized that I have so many advantages!"


    Joanna is also satisfied: "I''m afraid the film crew has spent a lot of thought."


    Roger said: "The first part focuses on creating a very beautiful, even fairy tale world, but it is worthy of the real life of the two of you."


    An Feng said: "There are a little more artistic processing, but overall it still fits the reality."


    The life in the front part is like the princes and nobles of the last century. Since the shooting location is in the manor, the gold medal film crew showed the details of the manor and mansion very well. After reading it, An Feng felt that the house he had lived in for so many years was so majestic when photographed from this angle.


    As the protagonist in reality, I am very satisfied with the authenticity, especially the life in the first part, which is a bit perfect, but the gap is not too big, meticulous butler, dedicated servants, and luxurious vehicles, gilded gorgeous halls, high-class Society��s Fun Ball��


    The latter part of the plot is very fast-paced, and a lot of plots are fabricated to show that they are rich and kind. This is a bit too much, but ignoring the process and referring to the beginning and the ending, it is the same in reality-the nuclear bunker is ignored in the movie, the priority refuge plan of their group of rich people.


    Roger asked them: "10 out of 10, how much can you score?"


    An Feng thought for a while: "Nine points, if you watch it as a feature film, it is worth experiencing repeatedly, but as a commercial film, I feel that the plot is not strong enough."


    "Nine points." Joanna also said, "I trust my husband."


    Roger smiled: "Look, I just said it wasn''t true, but now I''m bringing the love in the movie to reality. If I say it, I''ll give it 10!"


    ��


    This movie, which satisfies real people, cost 230 million U.S. dollars to shoot, did not use many special effects, and the plot is also an interaction between people. More than 200 million yuan is a very high cost, usually tens of millions can be achieved, but a lot of luxurious clothing is used in it. According to the promotion of the film, ten sets of dresses for the heroine alone are prepared, and there are various Clothes and jewellery, some are custom made.


    The cost of luxurious costumes and scenes is very high, and the filming location has been moved to different continents, which is also the reason for the high cost. The content of this film has no commercial atmosphere, and the investment is in line with the commercialization of the film, which is very special. The arrangement of the film crew also highlights this point, and it has been busy with publicity in May.


    Not only in North America, there are promotional activities in Europe and Asia, as well as in South America. After all, the popularity of the Ans couple is worldwide. It is said that there are 500 million loyal fans. They call themselves "honorary citizens" of the kingdom. According to the leader of the fans, there are more than 2 billion people who like them.


    Only a small number of fans need to watch the movie, and this movie will be unbeatable at the box office.


    Under the hemorrhage of the film company''s publicity, this much-anticipated film was first released in North America in mid-June. Usually, the summer holiday is the key time for North American box office competition. You have to be accompanied, so there are many customers.


    "SFV" was released at zero o''clock, and the box office on the first day of the next day''s statistics reached 61 million US dollars, which is very high, but it did not break the record. For a film with certain fans, it is not bad to achieve such a result, but I am a little sorry It is said to have a fan base of 500 million.


    The weekend box office was fixed at 180 million US dollars, which is very successful in commercial productions, but the fact proves that the box office is very mysterious, and the main force of fans is very scary. Different from the past, it has achieved amazing results in European releases. Contributed $310 million over the weekend.


    The film company quickly realized that there are not many regions with serious fans, because there are only more than 300 million people in North America, and the economic downturn in the United States is also an influencing factor. And in Europe, which was hit hardest by the virus at the time, it is also the fastest economic recovery.


    Europe has a population of more than 800 million, which is much larger than that in North America. The technological innovation in recent years has also allowed them to update a lot of theaters. As a result, they unexpectedly rose in Europe and continued to rise. It is said that the number of moviegoers in Sardinia reaches 90% of the total population.


    Europe also received rave reviews. Regardless of Europeans�� love of art, there is an urgent need for positive energy movies, especially after experiencing a virus war that was worse than the two world wars. This film, which claims to have the help of the royal family and is very close to the real story, is naturally popular.


    In three days, the box office in Europe and North America reached 552 million, and it is almost certain to break through 1 billion. The film crew is full of confidence, because there will be Asia, which will grow rapidly. They''re going to keep bombarding the hype, positioning the film at the world record of over two billion at the global box office.

 Chapter 468： breaking two billion

    Chapter 468 breaks two billion


    The three-day box office success also allowed the company to open more theaters.


    Now "SFV" is bombarded indiscriminately in the summer, and it is unstoppable. Most young people are free on vacation, and the disease disaster is vivid in their minds. They all choose to go to the theater to watch together. Promotional posters are erected at the entrance of the movie. Fans and Curious audiences stepped into the theater one after another.


    According to the average ticket price of ten dollars, there must be 200 million movie viewings in order to break through 2 billion. Now it depends on how strong the background of the 2 billion group claimed by the fans is. After some calls on the Internet, people who have not yet made any moves have also begun to make appointments with family members or friends to prepare a movie viewing plan.


    The box office in North America is not outstanding, but the fans make it full of stamina. Some people predict that it may only take 20 days to break through 500 million, and it will set a record. The cost has already been recovered here alone, which is unbelievable for a drama film. But also the enthusiasm of European moviegoers.


    Europe and the United States exceeded 1 billion US dollars in two weeks, which is unstoppable. With the opening of the South American theater chain, China has also accelerated preparations due to this trend, and the hope of breaking through 2 billion is growing. Officials are already quietly holding a celebration party, first to celebrate breaking the billion dollar mark.


    An Feng''s mind has not been on this since he appreciated it in advance in May. He went to participate in the construction of the aerospace base and the planning of the nuclear power plant. Recently encountered some design problems, he had to discuss the content with Hal carefully, but it was successfully revised.


    He didn''t have time to pay attention until July.


    More professional film review websites such as IMDb have many comments from **** movie fans. After scanning it, the score is quite high, 8.8 points. You must know that many Oscar winners may not get such high fan reviews. It''s both fame and fortune.


    Some film critics said that the mysterious life of the Ans and his wife was restored through the film, a graceful and luxurious female nobleman, an amazing genius, two benevolent hearts, and the drama of saving mankind in reality seems exaggerated. But it actually happened...


    "Guardian" commented: "The colorful life of the royal couple is restored close to reality, and the artistic processing is done just right. The plot is fascinating."


    "USA Today" did not hesitate to praise: "While creating a heroic image, it also restores the problem of human conflicts. The angles selected are appropriate, and there are few masterpieces."


    Many media and professional critics have given good comments, thinking that this is an inspiring and humanistic film. Of course, there are positives and negatives. Suspected of Sardinian royal propaganda.


    But this kind of remarks could not resonate, but it was ridiculed: "From the publicity before the filming started, I already knew that it was semi-biographical. It can be considered that you, sir, are malicious picks."


    This is a relatively polite response, and some fans just started to complain when they got annoyed.


    No matter how good a movie is, there will always be controversy��An Feng doesn''t care about that. But generally speaking, this is a way for the outside world to understand their legendary couple. The story restored by the film also allows people to learn about many great people, famous or unknown, in this crisis.


    Careful fans have extracted the details and perfected the two people in reality. For example, Joanna loves equestrianism very much, which is reflected in movies. In real newspapers, the image of her sitting on horseback appears more than once; she is the same as her husband. Hates salad greens, she hates purple, doesn''t like coffee...


    As for An Feng, his sports preferences and genius coexist. Whether it is the figure of the hero in the movie or the prince in the real photo, the figure is very standard. Someone got a picture of him on the beach, and the mermaid line on his abdomen Make the ladies scream and envy Joanna.


    In addition, the most impressive part of the film is the second part. He speaks Chinese, English, French, Spanish, and Russian on the phone, each of which is so standard. , An Feng is indeed the case, and his accent is pure.


    This is worthy of the name of a genius.


    Through the comparison of details and reality, it aroused discussion on the Internet, and also confirmed the authenticity of the film from the side. How well the details are handled, they also believe that most of the stories are well-founded, and they also attract more people to watch, and even return to taste it many times.


    The release of the movie has made people love them more and more.


    But An Feng and Joanna didn��t have much free time in July, so they didn��t have time to care about these things. After signing several bills, Joanna presided over the opening ceremony of this year��s parliament and announced the government��s policies. Then, at the invitation of the Norwegian royal family, went to Participate in the wedding ceremony of the Crown Prince of the country.


    The plane this time is relatively low-key, a Bombardier business jet.


    Accompanied by two translators and two female attendants, plus three royal bodyguards. This is generally the case with standard travel arrangements, because the monarch is not a dignitary of a country, nor are they the prime minister. The prime minister is subject to potential physical threats because they basically have no power over the country.


    Resting on the plane, Joanna leaned against An Feng''s arms and watched a movie.


    Old movie, Audrey Hepburn''s "My Fair Lady", tells the story of how a female man was trained to be a lady by a professor of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and even the royal family could not tell the story of her origin. Joanna often laughs at the strange English of the heroine in the first part of the story, and then feels that she has transformed from an ugly duckling to a swan behind her.


    An Feng said: "I''ve watched it so many times, isn''t it enough?"


    "To pass the time," she said, "how about I tell you about the Norwegian royal family?"


    "Gossip?" An Feng asked.


    "Besides these, what else?"


    "Okay." An Feng shrugged and had no choice.


    Time ends in her gossip narration, arriving in Nordic Norway. There are many Americans who like to regard Norway as the capital of Sweden. An Feng was a little bit at the beginning, but he adjusted after a few trips. Norway is Norway, and Sweden is Sweden. Norway is rich in Vikings and likes to eat stones...


    This wedding is the wedding of the king''s first daughter, Ingrid. It can be regarded as a handsome man and a beautiful woman. With the enlightenment of the society, the story of Cinderella has flooded the European royal family. At present, whether it is the crown prince or the queen prince, the choice of marriage partner is very free.


    Even the life of the king is very dramatic. According to Joanna, Haakon is also the king, but at that time he was still the crown prince and had several girlfriends. I just fell in love with a barmaid who was still pregnant with her ex''s child at the time and was rumored to have taken drugs... Even if it is allowed to match Prince Cinderella, this girl is too "grey" too much.


    The traditional Norwegian royal family does not allow a woman who is pregnant with her ex-boyfriend''s child and has a depraved life to be their princess and future queen. Love is such a thing... Haakon said that he would not marry unless Mette, otherwise he would give up his status as the crown prince, and he would do whatever he wanted High, regardless of gender, the Netherlands, Sweden are).


    The king and queen at that time were also amazing, so they accepted it! When the crown prince and his wife got married, they still dragged their children. Haakon also loved this cheap child. He was very happy in front of the camera, and the child��s smile was sincere, which made countless women envy. How many lifetimes of blessings has accumulated by Mette.


    After arriving in Norway, the reception will stay at the hotel and attend a concert in the evening.


    The process is basically like this. With the help of the translator, I also had some exchanges with the host family. They also liked the latest movie and thanked the Ans couple for their role in the crisis... They responded with smiles. All over the world.


    The next day is the official wedding. The royal families from all over the country will send members. Generally, those who have a crown prince will send the crown prince. Those who don��t have proof that they are still young and healthy. Like An Feng and Joanna, they are invited as queens and husbands. The ones that get the most attention, they are famous after all.


    The process is that the members of the royal family wear the medals and ribbons presented by the host family, flaunt their differences, walk a section of the red carpet, and leave evidence of their participation... In the church, together with other royal families, appreciate and wish the wedding process, and witness the Norwegian royal family. moments of happiness.


    Facts have proved that one can live a happy life despite one��s birth.


    During this trip, An Feng and Joanna also learned a little bit��in the future, when their children get married, they will also add some interactive items, so it doesn��t have to be lifeless. Britain represents too many other royal families, but in fact, the lives of other European royal families are much better than theirs. Be more joyful and happy.


    Don''t talk about others, their life is very happy.


    At present, the films featuring them as male and female characters are getting good news. After the opening of the Asian market, the popularity on the first day and the weekend is no less than that in North America. With the economic development in these years, China��s economy is certainly better than before, and the crowds who enjoy movies are also More and more, plus the participation of Chinese actors.


    They contributed 100 million U.S. dollars to the box office in three days, and finally set a figure of 350 million. With the strong support of China, the global box office of the film exceeded 2 billion. It is also possible to break the box office record in the future and hit 3 billion. And finally worthy of the name of two billion potential fans.


    The box office data is still rising, because July is the most frequent summer holiday, and young people from all over the world are flocking to movie theaters to share this big-budget movie that was driven by a huge fan base and then captured by the plot, and received good reviews from all over the world. Also rolled up like a tide.


    In August, although it did not break the record, it was firmly established as a success. The global box office was fixed at 2.4 billion U.S. dollars. The original investment has more than doubled. The largest number of Hollywood movies, and finally the achievements of the film company.


    The most unexpected thing was actually An Feng. He originally thought that breaking through 500 million would be a success.


    But I didn''t expect this value to increase by nearly five times. There are more people supporting them in the world than expected, and the filming of this film is also very successful. Backed by facts, miracles are unstoppable.


    According to An Feng''s share of the film share, the company''s share is a part, he invested another 50 million, and now he has obtained at least 800 million US dollars in box office share, of course it is before tax. After tax has always been an annoying figure, but it is definitely called A successful investment in film history.

 Chapter 469： move to a new house

    Chapter 469 Moving to a new house


    After attending the wedding of the Norwegian royal family, return with gifts.


    An Feng saw that he had brought back a lot of presents, as well as Norwegian national costumes, which are a bit like a cook''s long skirt for women. Even Joanna''s body looks a bit... aunt''s style. Joanna was quite happy. She said that giving each other gifts is a manifestation of friendship.


    After the trip in Norway, they went to France and England, both of which were her private parties.


    Of course, Joanna''s circle of friends also exists, but it''s not as extensive as An Feng''s. She mostly has a circle of close girlfriends, both in Europe and North America. An Feng has also accompanied her to many parties, just like a man showing off his girlfriend. Occasionally show affection.


    This time one is the birthday of my friend Isabella, and the other is the class reunion.


    It also made An Feng remember that next year will be his twentieth year after graduating from university, time flies so fast.


    Back home, the two children are on summer vacation. In order to increase their knowledge, they organized a family tour around the island to take a closer look at the country and experience the local customs. Joanna has been in charge of Sardinia for nearly two years, and she dare not say that she must be familiar with every place.


    An Feng drove out of the convertible car and set off with his family of four and Alice''s pet dog.


    During the journey around the island, I will also visit friends from all over the world. They all responded to the call and bought real estate in the country one after another.


    Matthew was the first to spend more than 20 million yuan to buy a mansion on the coast of Olbia. It was built on the edge of a cliff, with swimming pools, badminton courts and gardens. Below the mountain is the rushing waves, and there are marinas for yachts around. Very high end. In addition, he also donated 10 million to build roads.


    Rich people like Andrew who like cleanliness and independent style directly buy the housing land and hire people to build the civil engineering; there are also people like Roger who choose to find a house on the top of a hill near a lively scenic spot, where they can clearly see the city and the distance of the vast ocean.


    There are also those who like rural elegance. An Feng''s brother-in-law bought 60 acres of land in the vineyard area of ??Olbia. It is not too big, but the surrounding scenery is very beautiful, quiet and elegant rural scenery, and occasionally stay for a week or two , It is definitely a life memory with endless aftertaste.


    ��


    After returning from vacation, the palace of Moncalieri is about to be completed.


    An Feng saw a lot of mansions along the way, and now that it was his turn, he was looking forward to it.


    I have admired it before, but there is no furniture yet, only the walls are empty. Now all kinds of furniture are complete, and the layout has been started since April. There are special designers to give full play to their creativity. It takes four months to decorate a large number of bedrooms in different styles.


    Arranging personal belongings in the morning, preparing for the family to move.


    Alice runs and cheers across the lawn, with two bob-tailed corgis chasing after her.


    Alice doesn''t like the environment of the hotel, because there is no pony for her to ride, and there is no place for Xiao Hei Xiao Bai to run, so it is not as comfortable as at home before.


    "How is it like at Dad''s place? Can you ride a pony and drive a car?" Alice asked after running around.


    "You need to unwrap the gift yourself, and you will be surprised to find it." An Feng touched her head and turned to Fred: "What do you want to say?"


    "Dad." He paused, "I want to ride a pony, too."


    "Yes." An Feng said.


    "But my sister said it was only her pony," said Fred, while Alice giggled.


    "Sister lied to you, my mother and I will buy you a new pony at that time!" An Feng said, the child''s mind is still simple, and he cares about playing.


    "Thank you, Dad." He said happily.


    "Pack up your stuff, then we''ll get in the car and move to a new house!"


    ��


    The definition of moving to An Feng is to take people away.


    Don��t worry about anything else, the steward, assistant, and attendant will take care of everything. He drove his family to the main entrance of the palace, and the surrounding scenery was completely new, adding a lot of greenery. An Feng drove in through the main entrance and drove towards this billion-dollar mansion.


    The high cost is due to the high cost of building 3D printing. There are few suppliers in this area, and the procurement cost is also slightly high. They also pursue all kinds of speed, working day and night, not to mention the flow of resources, and other projects that are spent on money for speed are not simple.


    Finally, there are antique calligraphy and paintings for decoration, etc. In the news room on the first floor, there must be something that can be displayed on the table, otherwise it will be frequently on TV in the future. When the queen receives foreign heads of state, the country and the royal family will be too poor. face. There has been a lot of turnover in antique auctions recently.


    "Let''s choose a room!" After getting off the car, Alice and Lafred ran into the house.


    "The bedrooms are all on the second floor." An Feng said to the confused two children.


    "Oh, follow me!" Alice went up the stairs on the left, followed by the two pet dogs, "Fred, you go up the stairs on the right."


    Troubled with Fred behind her sister.


    An Feng was helpless: "You can go wherever you want, don''t listen to your sister."


    Alice''s crisp laughter came from upstairs: "You are behind, Fred!"


    Fred turned around and followed, An Feng reminded: "Slow down."


    After turning the stairs on the left and right sides, they converge into a large staircase, stepping on the carpet to the second floor. The layout of the building is a bit like the original Santa Barbara home. The two children searched around with ease, and she stepped in to open the door of each room, and walked in and out again.


    An Feng also admired Joanna and the children along the way.


    Due to the increase in the total number of rooms, the size of the bedroom has also decreased accordingly, but in An Feng''s opinion, it is just right. The room in the previous house was too large. It is more appropriate to call it a house rather than a room. The size of the room is too large. Yes, it feels like living in a suite in an apartment building.


    Now it fits and the room really feels like a bedroom.


    There are roughly two types of rooms. The first one is the main room. The two doors are opposite and the area is relatively wide. A front hall will be reserved for the sofa and coffee table, and the bed is at the back. The second type is a single door with a moderate area. But all are uniform with spacious bathrooms.


    An Feng didn''t want the tragedy of the Palace of Versailles to be staged here, and the French were so funny that there was no toilet in such a big palace. Even if there are them, they don''t need it. It is said that the king doesn''t take a bath for a year, so he uses perfume to cover it up, so he feels good about himself.


    Both children chose a small room, about 20 square meters, and Alice chose warm colors, pink and milky white as the theme, which fits the warm boudoir style of the girl''s home. Fred chose the blue one, which is relatively monotonous, and it is said to be the embodiment of a rational boy.


    The rest is decided by Joanna. Of course they are large rooms, the nearest ones are on the left and right sides, and they all have cloakrooms. Given Joanna��s clothes and jewelry, a multi-level, automatically allocated and spacious cloakroom is a must. There is simply not enough stuff to hold her belongings.


    After choosing their respective rooms, people came downstairs.


    Their family went downstairs, and the trucks carried their luggage here. It was relatively easy, mostly clothing, and the rest was jewelry. Especially important documents have been kept by An Feng, mainly contract documents, and they have a special safe.


    While carrying it, Brandon asked how to deal with the Queen''s sword: "Should it be kept or placed in the audience hall?"


    "Just hang it there." Joanna said.


    There are three carts of luggage, followed by twenty-eight royal attendants, the number of men and women is the same, and the usual work is the same as that of Santa Barbara. It is easy, there is no heavy physical work, and the salary is high. The only thing is to have high demands on oneself, to be as rigorous as a waiter in a five-star hotel.


    Steward Brandon has trained and selected them for two years, selected these elites from more than 200 people, and appointed Ms. Cleaver as the queen''s maid of honor. She is from England, speaks three languages, is well versed in the rules of high society, and has a delicate mind.


    Ms. Cleaver can also serve as the housekeeper, but the housekeeper is not casual. Like Brandon, who is familiar with astronomy and geography, and has been accumulating knowledge all his life, he deserves the title of noble teacher. If Brandon cannot find a suitable candidate, Ms. Cleaver will have to fill in.


    Brandon is old after all, in his eighties, and wanted to retire very early, but with Joanna being crowned queen, he insisted on finishing the last butler job in his career. He was one last step away from perfection��choosing a qualified butler for the royal family.


    The servants are carrying all kinds of luggage in an orderly manner, and are arranging every place according to Ms. Cleaver''s arrangement. She has taken relevant art and design courses, and like the almighty Brandon, she is an encyclopedia when it comes to home management.


    Brandon stayed outside with them, talking about things.


    "In addition to the twenty-eight servants, there will also be two cooks and four helpers stationed permanently. The security force of the palace will maintain around 15 people. The guards outside the palace are managed by the army. There are many mobile personnel. A list will be provided later, ma''am?"


    Joanna nodded: "Please, Mr. Brandon."


    An Feng also said: "I can''t imagine what kind of chaos our place would be without your help."


    Brandon said flatly: "This is my duty."


    The furnished house was handled by a special person, and they continued to visit according to the wishes of the children. The second floor has been seen, and now it is the first floor. But the definition of completion is to be able to live and use, not to be perfect. In some places, such as the ceiling of the concert hall, the huge oil painting has not yet been completed.


    Some other details have to be carefully improved, but it does not affect the use.


    After visiting the house, take the battery car for a ride around. The 350-acre land area is large enough, and the layout tends to be grand and beautiful, and you feel small when you are in it. When you look down from the air, the layout of the garden is spectacular enough, with a wide avenue in the middle running through the beginning and end.


    There are three artificial lakes, one is a rectangular pool on a straight avenue, and the left and right sides are lakes, surrounded by green trees, surrounded by gardens and vast grasslands, and there are passages on both sides connecting to the patterned gardens closest to the building , a natural equestrian venue.


    The atmosphere is enough, but the disadvantage is also because it is too large and looks empty. Fortunately, it is now a royal palace, and there are enough private service teams. Occasionally, foreign guests will visit or hold some public events. As a part of administrative land, it is also in line with its essence.

 Chapter 470： air combat

    Chapter 470 Air Combat


    After the completion of the palace, there are many benefits. The queen has a dignified administrative palace. At the same time, the investor reception that was planned a while ago has been delayed because there is no suitable place. Now there is an excellent venue to use. The state banquet in November can also be held here.


    According to the results of discussions between Ms. Roberts and Cliff, the maid of honor, they suggested that a reception be held in mid-September for investors and some government representatives of the Moncalieri Palace, and the cocktail party should be held in a free form. Send out invitations in mid-August and spend a month preparing.


    This is also the first official meeting between the royal family and domestic or foreign investors. The presence of some representatives of the government will also establish some policy directions, which is a good time to understand the direction of investment. At the same time, the nature of the social meeting also means that guests from all walks of life can get to know each other.


    ��


    During this period, both An Feng and Joanna have plenty of time to prepare, or to spend some relaxing time with their families. Since the end of the foreign visit in July, Joanna has basically completed her visits to major European and American countries. The next step is A light life.


    In early August, An Feng went to care about other things.


    Guri invited him to inspect the troops.


    Sardinia��s army building results have come out. There are currently about 2,100 soldiers in service, 170 civilians, and 130 officers, but most of them are professional non-commissioned officers. There are also reserve officers in it. After the future military academy is completed, they will receive systematic officer education.


    The ratio of officers to soldiers is maintained at about 1:15, which is a relatively large disparity. However, Gu Li adopted a strategy of focusing on training "professional non-commissioned officers", which is different from the Chinese army that An Feng is familiar with. His focus is that soldiers are led by non-commissioned officers, and officers are only in charge of military affairs. Questions, suggestions, and the like.


    For example, in the U.S. military, professional non-commissioned officers account for a large proportion. They are the direct managers, educators, and leaders of soldiers, while officers are only responsible for giving orders and commanding. For better or worse, but in line with the current Wehrmacht.


    The national army does not need a large group of officers, it is bureaucratic and overstuffed, the current 2100 people, there are a small number of officers, and the number of non-commissioned officers who are closer to the lives of soldiers is increasing. Non-commissioned officers are teachers of soldiers in terms of quality and skills, and they can be converted from officers to soldiers. Meet flexible requirements.


    The arrangement given by Gu Li is that there are six ranks in the rank of non-commissioned officer, corporal, sergeant, and sergeant, and three ranks of sergeant major. Sergeant majors are senior non-commissioned officers and are rare in number. In the U.S. military, the prestige of a sergeant major is higher than that of some generals. It''s the same in China, non-commissioned officers with more than 20 years of service experience are definitely extraordinary characters that are rarer than generals, and they are commonly known as "soldier kings".


    Guri''s management of grassroots soldiers is very good, drawing on the characteristics of various countries. Of course, he also has shortcomings - he is not a very qualified officer. His identity is more inclined to be a non-commissioned officer, but it doesn''t matter, anyway, there are more than 2,000 soldiers, and it doesn''t need an officer to be so smart or know how much strategy.


    Accompanied by Gu Li, An Feng inspected the troops in the army base.


    The problem with An Feng��s review is that he was awarded the title of "Field Marshal" by the Queen in June. First of all, it is a vacant position, and it is held by the prince or crown prince just like the British Marshals of various services. Secondly, it is said to be a vain position, but There is also the right to inspect troops.


    But there are exceptions - in the case of the country being invaded or suffering a rebellion as stipulated in the constitution, he will take over the army as the Queen''s Guardian. However, in such a bad situation, the right to belong to the army...is in doubt. But An Feng has a trump card - the robot army.


    Joanna also gave An Feng the strong title of "Marshal" to facilitate An Feng''s contact with the troops, and also made a set of military uniforms and daily clothes. An Feng has never been in the army, but he has had military training anyway, and his basic movements are still clear. In addition, he has a good temperament, so he looks energetic in military uniform.


    First of all, it is a very pure army company with 120 people. After a year and a half of training, it finally has some energy. However, An Feng still has reservations about the combat effectiveness. It should be more powerful than the police. , but compared with the armies of other countries... we will not discuss it for now.


    The second is the Marine Corps, which has high hopes. There are about two platoons of fifty people. They are all equipped with lightweight exoskeletons and use electromagnetic guns, which is very futuristic. Due to more training, the momentum on his body is stronger, and Gu Li is also satisfied.


    According to An Feng''s conception, the Marine Corps is a practical unit, while the other military branches are mostly used to support the facade, and they are not very useful for fighting. The Marine Corps is capable, but war is not a matter of dozens of people. Once it happens, you still have to draw your cards.


    As a field marshal, An Feng encouraged the army and then disbanded.


    Guri said: "The effect is not bad, right? The Marine Corps is definitely an amazing weapon for counter-terrorism!"


    An Feng said: "But the world here is peaceful, and I am afraid that we will never encounter war in our life. Terrorist activities, we do not provoke people, and it is difficult."


    Guri sighed, he also knew the truth.


    An Feng looked at him and encouraged him: "But don''t worry too much. Switzerland hasn''t had a war for more than a hundred years, and hasn''t everyone turned into soldiers? Whether there is a war or not doesn''t affect our confidence in military development, even if it''s used to show off and stimulate It��s okay to visit the neighbors, what do you think?��


    Guri nodded: "Okay, let''s find a place to have a cup of tea and eat some biscuits to be more enjoyable."


    "Don''t be discouraged." An Feng smiled, "I wanted to wait for a while, but now I show you in advance, there is a very good toy."


    "Toy?"


    ��


    Guli got on the 4��4 military off-road vehicle that Jeep had just designed for the army, drove from the army base on the highway, and drove towards the base of Anshi Industry.


    The mystery was quickly revealed, and the robot pushed the plane out of the warehouse.


    Guli got out of the car and looked at it with wide eyes: "Wing-body fusion drone?"


    "That''s right." An Feng said, in front of him was a triangular-shaped drone with a very post-modern appearance.


    "When was it developed?" Gu Li was curious.


    "Five or six years ago, the progress was slow." An Feng didn''t explain too much, "Let''s take a closer look at it. The variable cycle engine equipped with this guy can adjust the engine duct to improve different flight states and speeds. , save fuel and fly fast.��


    "I know the variable cycle, but it is not big, how much is the fastest? What about the range?"


    It seems that there is understanding, An Feng omitted the basics: "The fastest test can reach Mach 5, and the range is limited by the volume, about 1200 kilometers. It doesn''t matter, it''s a small country."


    "You mean, it has a strong combat capability?" Guri said.


    "Now every major country is showing off the sixth-generation aircraft, and my small country can only order it directly." An Feng said, "It carries a small amount of ammunition, at most four medium-range air-to-air or open-ground, or six infrared combat ammunition The advantage is that it can take off from a 300-meter runway, and the ejection takeoff distance is shorter."


    "It can also be used to defend the country."


    "Actually, I use it for more fun purposes, such as simulated air combat games."


    Guri was stunned. The purpose of developing such a beautiful plane is to play games?


    "Didn''t you say it was too boring?" An Feng looked at him.


    "Well, I''ve convinced you." Gu Li was unable to complain, "Then tell me, does it have the ability to participate in air combat?"


    An Feng said: "Look at the simulated confrontation with the computer first. After you and I learn to drive, you can also participate in the confrontation with the robot, or everyone."


    They returned to the simple headquarters... It was actually a laboratory of Anshi Industry. There was a three-meter-high large screen inside, showing images outside the airport. There were only a few employees in the laboratory busy in front of the computer. After An Feng sat down, , Aircraft testing begins.


    The triangular drone accelerates on the runway and takes off into the sky.


    Five minutes later, the second drone took off into the sky. The big screen is divided into three areas. The left side is the main vision of the first plane, the middle is various data monitoring, and the right side is the second plane��s. The data in the middle shows that they are separated by about a hundred kilometers, and the confrontation begins.


    "The whole process is controlled by computers." An Feng said to Gu Li, "but their combat thinking is no less than that of humans."


    Guli stared at the screen, and the last one, that is, the No. 2 plane took the initiative to attack. It turned on the radar and began to scan the surrounding aircraft, because at a distance of 100 kilometers, no matter whether it is the naked eye or the camera on the plane, the opponent is completely invisible. Radar is the key.


    While No. 1 aircraft kept its radar off, when No. 2 scanned it, No. 1 aircraft��s passive radar gave an early warning, and it immediately selected anti-radiation missiles to launch��the target was aimed at a target emitting strong radar radiation waves in the distance. The No. 2 machine, which attacked first, was chased by missiles instead.


    "It''s not safe to use the radar!" Gu Li said.


    "Not necessarily." An Feng said.


    After aircraft No. 1 launched an anti-radiation missile, the fire control radar of aircraft No. 2 locked aircraft No. 1, and the air-to-air missile was launched.


    The anti-radiation missile came near the No. 2 aircraft, visible to the naked eye. The No. 2 machine immediately released the signal jamming bomb, and at the same time performed a set of evasive actions. The missile chasing the No. 2 aircraft was interfered and hit the decoy target, showing an explosion, but because it was a simulation, there was no actual warhead.


    The anti-radiation missile of the No. 1 aircraft missed, but it was always locked by the fire control radar of the No. 2 aircraft, and the trajectory of the air-to-air missile was constantly corrected. Dive down, then turn over and lift the nose, the fuselage rotates... The overload at that moment reached 13 G-enough to disintegrate an ordinary aircraft and kill the pilot, but it is a drone!


    At that moment, it made the incoming missile unable to keep up with the change of flight direction, and the missile lost its target. The variable-cycle engine of the plane was adjusted, and it accelerated to chase the enemy plane. The second anti-radiation missile was launched. At the same time, it prepared infrared combat bombs, preparing for a close combat.


    "Wonderful!" Gu Li exclaimed. He originally thought that a certain side would definitely be destroyed, but he didn''t expect the robot''s thinking to be so delicate.


    An Feng said: "So I say this is a very fun air combat game, and the opponent is on nightmare difficulty."

 Chapter 471： big dog

    Chapter 471 Big dog


    Guli understood why An Feng had confidence in the national defense force.


    With regard to this genius and his miraculous enterprise, engaging in military industry can completely cause other colleagues in the world to hang themselves, and the colleagues should also be thankful: Anshi Industry has always been not doing business properly, specializing in things that people don''t understand, and it is currently about to be completed. The device is.


    Developed countries have invested money, because preventing global warming benefits the whole world. Anshi Industries also raised most of the funds, and the first unit was officially put into operation. Multiple tests have shown that it is indeed conducive to the synthesis of a hollow atmosphere and prevent icebergs from melting.


    Speaking far away, Guli watched several computer-simulated air battles, amazing! He was born in the army and also loves the military. He has a certain understanding of sea, land and air. Although this drone has shortcomings-it is easy to repair. The hardest part has been conquered.


    It��s like Ferrari lacking a tire, you can��t say it��s bad, and when it��s replaced with new tires, no one can catch up��the tires are only secondary, and the important thing is the overall concept. This is the case with this UCAV, but An Feng expects it to be used more in games.


    His reasoning is: "We don''t fight wars, so let it grow moldy?"


    Gu Li was very entangled, feeling reckless...but in the end he had to admit that An Feng did not invade the blood. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be the savior, and everything he did was based on defense. These aircraft are also used to build air defense forces... in the end it is the game.


    An Feng said: "I want to improve the ground control station, then design the cockpit, and display on multiple screens. In the future, fighter pilots will announce their retirement. UAVs can perform more complex, difficult, and more beautiful actions than fighter jets. In the future, long-range Control will be the judgment of the Air Force''s advanced level."


    Guri asked some sharp questions: "But when it comes to controlling drones, have you considered the confidentiality and anti-jamming of electromagnetic signals? If it is interfered or invaded, will it become a trophy for other countries? Drones Is there any guarantee for its own electromagnetic resistance?"


    In 2030, we have entered the era of sixth-generation aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles.


    Informatization and intelligence are the most obvious, the most critical of which is the issue of information confidentiality-how to ensure that it will not be interfered or encountered by hackers?


    An Feng thought for a while, took over the tablet of the technician next to him, and operated on it: "It doesn''t matter, we use quantum communication. Traditional electromagnetic communication is definitely not able to meet military needs, but the characteristics of quantum entanglement have already eliminated all interference and hackers. the behavior of."


    "If it can be done, there will be no problem with secrecy." Guli knows that the power of quantum communication is a game played by God.


    "It''s done." An Feng handed the tablet to the technician beside him.


    Guri''s dry mouth... Genius makes people jealous to death.


    An Feng said while walking: "After the simulation cabin comes out, let''s play an air combat game and use some fuel, otherwise the air force will be too boring."


    "The Air Force hasn''t been formed yet, has it?" Guri said.


    An Feng stopped to look at him...it seems to be the same thing.


    "How?" he asked.


    Guri rolled his eyes and said, "You definitely don''t want to continue to expand the army."


    "Of course, it''s a waste of taxpayers'' money." An Feng said, in fact, he likes robots. The more advanced the technology, the more obvious the limitations of the human body.


    "Then choose from the army. Since there is a marine corps, it''s okay to add an army aviation corps, right?"


    "Good idea." An Feng gave him a thumbs up. With this modification, the three armies of the sea, land and air were covered, saving trouble and being efficient.


    ��


    The army aviation unit has really been built.


    The military and parliament also agree on resource-saving solutions. Calculated based on the fact that military spending accounts for 5% of the country''s financial expenditure, this year''s military expenditure is 600 million euros. If the current number of soldiers is maintained, it is enough to build a strong high-tech army��the parliament is influenced by An Feng.


    After all, he is a field marshal, well, at least Angle Industries belongs to him, and he knows better how to do it.


    Now, the entire country has sea, land and air forces.


    The army considers efficiency and takes the company level as a combat unit, which includes the Royal First Army Company, the Royal First Marine Corps Company...and so on.


    In order to commend Gu Li for his feat, the military proposed to promote Gu Li to brigadier general.


    Guri: ������


    He still plays his air combat game honestly. I thought I had no chance to be in the Air Force, but technology has made the fantasy a reality. When An Feng and the plane he controlled, he even leaked a sentence, "In the future, the army can also be the navy." Gu Li remained calm and accepted any miracle.


    Two unmanned fighter planes hovered side by side over the island, and Gu Li stared at the aerial pictures: "Have you considered the issue of border defense?"


    An Feng turned to look at him.


    "I know if I don''t." Gu Li understood.


    An Feng said: "I''m not a professional military personnel, these are your considerations, right?"


    "I thought you had an arrangement." Guri said, "Forget it, what should we do now? Right above you is Corsica, France, where there has recently been a fight for independence."


    An Feng said: "Send a company of soldiers to garrison, and occasionally cooperate with the coast guard on patrols, or build another military fort and install electromagnetic guns on it?"


    "How far can your electromagnetic gun go?" Guli asked. At present, all major countries in the world have electromagnetic guns, which are powered by super batteries and superconductors.


    Super batteries have also evolved space-based laser weapons, which is the age of Star Wars.


    An Feng thought for a while and said, "If it''s a large one, it might reach Finland."


    "2,500 kilometers?" Guli was surprised, "Even Moscow is within the strike range."


    An Feng nodded: "Moreover, the speed of Mach 12 is difficult to intercept, but it consumes a lot of power. It is best to use a combination of nuclear reactors and supercapacitors, and the track is also made of superconductors. The rate of fire is only about five rounds per minute. According to computer calculations, It consumes energy."


    "That is enough to make Sardinia a military power." Guri said.


    "It doesn''t make much sense." An Feng said.


    Guri is right when he thinks about it: "If possible, the army should purchase some weapons with a range of 500 kilometers to maintain the security of the surrounding land. What do you think?"


    "I will let An''s Industry design it." An Feng said.


    ��


    In mid-August, An Feng found a business opportunity by accident.


    This was an unintentional move. It was Khalid, an old friend from Qatar, who brought his family and friends on vacation. This month, there are no people living in the Middle East, so he bought a house in a wealthy town on the southern coast of Sardinia, which is also a corresponding call. Contribute to the GDP of Anfeng''s country.


    The point is not this. One day when An Feng was basking in the sun on Khaled��s luxury yacht, he talked from the sea to the land, and then from the land to the sky, and then he saw a drone passing by quickly. Khalid talked about this On the other hand, An Feng also said something out of the point of showing off.


    As a result, one of the friends he brought was also a prince named Amir, who was said to have served in the army after graduating from the military academy. As a result, after they discussed it, they made an appointment to go to the base of Anshi Industrial and saw the drone on the spot. , and then enjoy their short take-off and beautiful maneuvers in the air.


    An Feng also let them experience the operation comparable to the game, which is actually complicated, but Hal took over part of it and optimized the operation for them. As a result, flying a plane was as easy as the game. They all came to play for three days in a row, and then the rich Al Mi asked: "How-much?"


    An Feng just now responded from the good feeling of "your family doesn''t have one".


    Being targeted by the big dog (neighbor)!


    He didn''t answer right away, but called Mr. Foss, the department head of Anshi Industries and the person in charge of defense contracting, on the grounds that he didn''t know. His parents were British immigrants and are now citizens of Sardinia. He is very good at negotiating business in this area.


    The two groups started preliminary contact.


    While Khaled was discussing details with An Feng, such as: "Is the actual operation so smooth?"


    "Integrates a set of advanced ground systems from An''s Industry." An Feng said, "The system can make the operation of complex drones particularly simple. Pilots no longer need to burn out dollars in the future. Anyone with a talent for control A person who can become an ace pilot sitting in a room."


    "It''s amazing." Khaled said, he felt amazing when he heard Ans Industries.


    "Go and see the U.S. military''s drone pilot training. They also require experience in air force flying and control of a simulation cabin... I''ll tell you the truth, it took hundreds of hours to get familiar with that thing, and you, only ten When I was young, I could play cobra maneuvers."


    An Feng��s words are bragging. The cobra maneuver did happen, but Hal played a big role in it... If they were allowed to do it by themselves, they would probably have to fly for a long time. The advantage is that the pilot can drink while playing, and the three of them can fly 24 hours a day for a change of guard.


    The eyes of the young Amir are full of admiration and liking. He was born in a military academy, and he knows what this means.


    Qatar also spends a lot of military expenditure every year, but the effect is not obvious-because the country is too small and there are too many deserts, basically there is no other place to play except in the city. In recent years, Green Earth has helped them transform the coastal areas Green, but not enough yet.


    The negotiation was not reached immediately, and it was agreed to talk about it in three days.


    However, according to Director Foss, they are very tempted and are considering the issue of ordering.


    An Feng also discussed the price with him.


    The cost of drones is not very high. The difficulty lies in the graphene material and the variable cycle engine. Furthermore, Angle Industries is able to reduce the cost of technology research and development and share them equally. A current F200 model drone, plus the profit, Taking market competition into consideration, the selling price should be around US$65 million.


    Besides, the current value of a fifth-generation aircraft is obvious, all around 70 million, and the sixth-generation aircraft is 200 million. The F200 is equivalent to a manned light fighter. Its performance surpasses the fifth generation and is weaker than the sixth generation. The reason is that the range is not enough and the amount of ammunition it carries is insufficient.


    Three days later, the big dog came with professionals.


    An Feng was not in the mood to get involved in business negotiations, Fox did what he wanted, the two sides came and went, the machine simulated and tested many times, and the final performance lived up to expectations, and then Qatar made a decision: order eight unmanned machine, plus that system.


    The first business is off to a good start, with a discounted unit price of 60 million US dollars. The most expensive is actually the ground system that can make drone control easier, and the asking price is 300 million... In fact, until now, no independent system has come out. Let Hal make up a usable set.


    This control system makes it easy to fly a drone, but it��s not professional�� The reason is like the various electronic assistance of a sports car. When it is turned on, it can be used on the street, but it is not necessary on the track. If you want to use all the technology, you still have to operate the original flavor.


    Foss mentioned these cryptically, but Qatar presumably doesn''t need a top ace.


    They agreed to a billion-dollar deal, eight drones plus system and communication station construction, a three-year contract. The rest of the money is spent on ammunition. You can modify the launcher and use NATO missiles, but obviously they prefer this side... In fact, it is not very advanced. It may be the psychology of matching good things.


    (end of this chapter)

 Chapter 472： Space and sky

    Chapter 472 Air and Sky Integration


    The drone list signed by Qatar has attracted the attention of the military community.


    They signed a billion-dollar arms sales contract with Kanica, a little-known company, and it is in the field of drones, which is the most technology-oriented in the world today, which is full of curiosity. Why does Qatar particularly favor this company?


    The insider found out that Canica was a military contracting company in Sardinia, and it was also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Anshi Industries. In an instant, people understood that if Kanika was not well-known, Anshi Industries was the opposite high-profile.


    Kanika is also generous, and released the non-confidential data of the drone.


    The performance is outstanding, especially the graphene surface skin, which is rare in the world. In order to control the cost, they also replace it with other composite materials, but this is the embodiment of technology. But there are also shortcomings: range and ammunition. It doesn''t quite apply to countries with large land areas.


    But for Qatar, installing an auxiliary fuel tank in exchange for a range of 2,000 kilometers is enough to fly around their country ten times, or even go deep into Iran for bombing. This aircraft is more likely to be designed for a country with a small territory, and its defensive features are also obvious.


    The matter was mentioned by major European media, people discussed the performance of this aircraft, and some media also compared it with the world''s mainstream drones, and came to some "on paper" conclusions. This group of uncrowned kings can be regarded as giving face this time, and they didn''t say too badly about F200.


    Facts speak louder than words. After Qatar is familiar with drones, it is indispensable to show off. In addition, that set of software has a strong auxiliary ability, just like a car with brake assist and cruise control, some aspects are very simple, and anyone with certain flying knowledge can get started.


    In the future, when Qatar conducts joint anti-terrorism military exercises in neighboring countries, or other forms of exercises, it will not forget to show its own air force, and then conduct a simulated confrontation. In praise of technology.


    Good word-of-mouth will also make other "big dogs" focus on Kanika''s products.


    ��


    Regarding arms sales, Anfeng originally had no plan, but Ans Industries, as a defense contractor, will definitely do it in the future. For the consideration of foreign exchange and influence, it is also good to take a few orders occasionally. Since the end of the day, he has let go of his hands and feet and moved more freely.


    But he has a principle that the arms sales are not engaged in high-injury or far-reaching danger equipment, and are based on the existing ones in the world, which are slightly more powerful than them. For example, the mainstream range of electromagnetic guns is 500 kilometers, and he will make 550. The market price is 3 million, and the company will come to 250.


    Competitiveness is like this.


    He will not suddenly come up with a principle that greatly surpasses the existing technology-the long-term flow of water. For example, a company can be ahead for 20 years, but they will never show their cards immediately, but will show them in three to five years, and always maintain an advantage, which is more effective than turning over all their cards.


    ��


    Another thing in September, the Royal Aerospace Corporation is also officially operational. Some of the employees of Anshi Industries and related departments will be transferred there, and the business may overlap with Kanika, but they are all under the same BOSS, and technical cooperation is also very easy.


    But in the base of the Aerospace Corporation (abbreviation), the airstrip has not yet been built. An Feng plans to build a runway at least four kilometers long, which can take off and land the largest passenger aircraft and aerospace aircraft. They are currently using Angler Industries'' runway to test new commercial aircraft.


    The company''s first pure electric aircraft is a single-engine fixed-wing, that is, the propeller is at the front, and the two-layer fixed-wing can accommodate up to twelve passengers. The range is about 600 kilometers, and the maximum speed is 230 kilometers per hour. It can also be charged by solar energy.


    The range of the aircraft is very suitable for small countries, and the speed is sufficient. Even for some large countries, short-distance flights are also very useful. The charging time can be maintained under half an hour. Although there are faster ones, they will not be launched for the time being. Hours are enough.


    Electric aircraft also has an obvious feature: the sound is inaudible.


    In the past, the noise of airplanes was all on the aero-engine, but now they use electric motors, just like electric cars. The sound of the engine suddenly disappears, and the only thing that can be heard is the wind blowing from the rotor. In this regard, if a specially shaped rotor is used, the noise can also be silenced.


    The company''s main propaganda is: quiet and environmentally friendly.


    The use of electric energy is naturally environmentally friendly, with zero carbon emissions, and the sound of electric aircraft is subtle. Even if you live next to the airport in the future, you will not feel noisy. In terms of selling price, because of the high efficiency of the electric motor, the cost of the aero-engine is reduced and evenly distributed to the battery.


    Therefore, the selling price is not much different from that of fuel-fueled models, and the competitiveness is very strong.


    In addition, Aerospace is also designing a tilt-rotor light transport aircraft that can accommodate ten passengers. The rotors at both ends can be tilted-like the V22 Osprey, the rotors are aligned overhead during vertical take-off and landing, and the attitude is adjusted after takeoff. For forward, meet speed and efficiency.


    This aircraft is also currently being tested.


    Because the research and development costs are low and the technology is available, the aircraft developed will not encounter the situation in other countries, and it takes tens of billions to produce a prototype. The artificial intelligence takes a little effort to design, and the workers operate according to the drawings. One or two test flights can verify its performance.


    Just like the F200 model, other countries may have to pay two or three billion in research and development costs, but Kanica only spent 300 million. The maturity of the existing technology allows them to be produced in a fast mode completely according to the drawings, which not only saves costs, but also greatly reduces the time.


    Since these advantages cannot be wasted, An Feng had another idea.


    It is still based on the consideration of national defense strength. Now the country has conventional armed forces, and even air force fighters will be in service, but Sardinia is still a bit like a "child guarding a golden mountain". Once the wealth behind it is discovered, for the sake of To stay out of trouble, they need more cards.


    An Feng has no aggressive intentions, but his awareness of prevention is not weak.


    Sardinia needs one or two "strategic weapons" to ensure that other powerful countries will not make irresponsible remarks against them based on their military strength. Like the U.S. military aircraft, the SR-71 during the Cold War invaded the airspace of other countries many times with the speed that missiles could not catch up, and sneaked at high altitudes.


    Considering the issue of arms sales, strength is also the way to advertise and prevent gossip.


    Referring to the world''s popular "sixth generation aircraft", "air-space integration" and "air-space carrier" plans, An Feng also wants to start from this aspect. First of all, he needs aerospace fighters��that is, fighter jets that can freely shuttle in the sky and space . Relevant tests actually started many years ago.


    In addition to speed and range, aerospace fighters have to pay attention to the amount of ammunition they can carry. Having the ability to strike in outer space is the way to form strategic deterrence. The project tested in Tanzania before can be used after a little modification, but the range is a big problem: how to solve the fuel?


    Nuclear power? For drones, there is no need to worry about radiation leakage, but the size of the aircraft is larger, such as nuclear fusion, using the reaction of deuterium and helium 3 to generate energy, and ejecting the leaked plasma, which is hundreds of times more efficient than conventional rockets. specific impulse.


    It is not easy to miniaturize a reactor, but the wisdom of human infighting used to be during the Cold War. Both the United States and the Soviet Union launched "nuclear-powered aircraft", but it was useless because of the emergence of intercontinental missiles. At that time, this technology existed. An Feng mastered more With more future content, it is not difficult to spend money on research and development.


    Hal suggested: "The engine of the aerospace plane must be combined. In space, the energy of nuclear fusion is used to drive the plasma produced by fusion. In the atmosphere, a combination of fuel rocket and ramjet engine is used. In space, use the energy you imagined. nuclear fusion propulsion."


    "The plane has to be big." An Feng said, "It should be called ''Spaceship'', right?"


    Hal said: "Freedom to name."


    An Feng was bored, and continued: "However, miniaturized nuclear fusion is still a bit difficult at present. Considering the problem of going back and forth between heaven and earth, is there a need for a supply station in the sky? A large platform built on a high orbit can also serve as a The space station and the base to and from the moon."


    Hal said: "It is feasible. Because of the small fusion thrusters you need, the fuel needs helium 3 on the moon, so you also need to build a moon base."


    "Why do you feel that the plan can''t stop?"


    Hal said: "This is the future trend, and countries will inevitably do it. You can take advantage of it in advance."


    "I''m relieved to hear you say that." An Feng said, he was afraid that the money would be wasted indiscriminately, and he would not be able to take care of better projects.


    Hal said: "In addition to serving as an airport for aerospace aircraft, the high-orbit base must pay attention to safety, so space-based dead light weapons, particle beams, and corresponding kinetic energy weapons can be equipped. If it is also nuclear-powered, it can Make up for the shortcomings of the space carrier."


    "Good idea!" An Feng nodded.


    ��


    In the end, he and Hal discussed a lot of futuristic trends.


    Hal helped him avoid some purely meaningless, Americans actually put a lot of smoke bombs, just like the Cold War brought down the Soviet Union, some concepts will become tasteless in the future, so aerospace fighters, high-orbit bases and Lunar bases and development plans are listed as projects.


    There is also a project back to Earth. The ones on the sea also need to have some strategic strength. Conventional warships and aircraft carrier Anfeng are not planned. He needs a warship as fast as an F1 motorboat, with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour. No one can survive on it... only Use a robot.


    It costs a lot.


    The biggest advantage is: they do not need to engage in research and development. The existing technology is in the head, at most it is moved out and carefully built, the conclusion is absolutely correct, and the test is the manufacturing ability. In this way, technology research and development expenditures that may reach trillions of dollars are directly omitted, and we will always be one step ahead.


    Aerospace and Kanica took over these tasks.


    The government doesn��t have much money. At present, An Feng pays for it himself. When they have money, they will consider arms sales.


    Afterwards, An Feng routinely checked the progress bar... 99% that has remained unchanged for many years, always tending to perfection, but it cannot be crossed. He became more and more curious, what kind of power could stuff so many encyclopedias into his head? But it''s still an unsolved mystery.


    He had a hunch that there was a shocking secret in it.


    But he is not worried. These technologies have turned his life upside down and allowed all mankind to avoid extinction disasters. Now that he already trusts him unconditionally, even if it is to harm him... I am afraid there is no need to go through such a big setback. Wait quietly for the follow-up, and live with peace of mind.

    Chapter 473 Royal Reception


    Afterwards, An Feng also purchased the tilt rotor aircraft of Aerospace Corporation.


    He learned from the person in charge that the electric aircraft project has been around for a long time, and the technicians of the aerospace company are not beginners. Passed rigorous flight tests.


    For the orders placed by Anfeng, we can start work immediately.


    The cost is naturally not cheap. According to the high requirements of the royal family, it pays attention to safety and speed, as well as the communication system and scanning system, plus the ER version with extended range. The cost of a single aircraft plus modification costs 35 million US dollars. The company is his, strictly speaking, it is just money for another pocket.


    Treat it as the first order for the company, earning a good start.


    When they were at home the next day, An Feng and Joanna talked about the electric plane, but the focus was on what they had seen and heard on the road: "I saw from the air that the hunting palace in Nuoro has been built, and the hunting grounds have begun to be pulled up. Fence, are you considering going to experience it before Christmas?"


    "Bring the kids?" Joanna asked.


    An Feng nodded: "Take two children to hunt and gain some knowledge. I hope my children are not spoiled flowers hiding in the greenhouse."


    "That''s a good idea." Joanna said, "Actually, Fred is the main one. Alice has a lively personality. She will definitely like this kind of activity."


    "Fred is still... not too young, it doesn''t matter." An Feng said, "You don''t have to go far, there are many mountain roads over there, you can drive."


    "Call some more friends?" she said.


    "Yes, I''ll look back to see if anyone is interested. Adults and children will call in and have a lively game."


    Joanna said: "The day after tomorrow is the reception, and friends will be there. If you find the weather and health topics boring, you can talk about them."


    "Haha." An Feng laughed, "Okay, I will."


    He picked up a piece of peeled apple on the coffee table, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, vaguely: "I''ll go and see if some hounds are up to the job."


    "Okay." She nodded.


    An Feng kissed her on the forehead: "Did you suffer from insomnia last night? Take a nap on time at noon, see you in the afternoon."


    "I''m not a child anymore," she said.


    An Feng said to Clifford, the female attendant, "Take care of my girl."


    "I know, sir." She smiled.


    "I need some ropes and some flying saucers that can be chased by hounds. I want to see the effect." An Feng went out, and Brandon helped him write it down.


    "Maybe you need a few more hunting suits, sir," Brandon said.


    "Oh, yes." An Feng nodded, "You can ask someone to use the data measured for me before. My body shape hasn''t changed much, so it should be suitable."


    ��


    As the royal reception day approaches, people from all walks of life who are invited are making preparations.


    The Queen sent out invitations a month ago. The invited people come from all walks of life, including investors, financiers, scholars, and politicians. Its main purpose is to invite them to learn about the country''s future policies and to find new opportunities for cooperation and development.


    At present, there are too many industries that Sardinia can develop, and there is a shortage of people in every field. Economic construction needs various investors, and cultural construction requires industry intellectual elites. Due to the prestige of the royal family, those who were invited also prepared carefully for this day early.


    Liao Qiang from China is also one of them. He runs real estate companies, focusing on the commercial field, that is, shopping malls, commercial streets, and office buildings. This is the focus of Chinese real estate companies going international. Others who speculate on residential buildings are not popular abroad.


    Liao Qiang encountered good luck this time. The company under his name has developed abroad for many years and has undertaken the construction of many commercial streets and office buildings. The last time he was named by the leader in China and participated in a business negotiation with foreign guests, he ended up with Sa Dinia negotiated a construction contract.


    This kind of opportunity is rare, it is a big cake, and the competition is particularly fierce.


    His company was favored because of its good reputation and higher cost performance, so he was invited to attend the reception held by the royal family. Liao Qiang, who has been abroad, knows very well that this is a very rare high-class place, and many relationships and opportunities are often found there.


    The royal reception was of a very high standard and was located in the Moncalieri Palace, the queen''s official residence. Those present that night were also celebrities and business tycoons. Especially for the ladies, the dress jewelry on their bodies is dazzling, and the atmosphere is elegant in such a luxurious environment as the palace.


    He also brought his daughter studying abroad to accompany him. In the distance from the main entrance to the corridor, groups of people gathered and chatted. Every guest present would have a special attendant to report their name. Mr. and Miss, if they had titles, would be added.


    It gave people the impression that it was a very rigorous royal social scene, and Liao Qiang also showed confidence to blend into the atmosphere. Because everyone did not know each other beforehand, it was easy to strike up a conversation during the warm-up time. Liao Qiang also chatted with Mr. Ralph, a retail investor from the United States.


    Due to similar interests, the two chatted happily, and the time passed quickly without knowing it. At this time, the royal attendant in a suit made another announcement. He faced everyone, raised his head and raised his chest and shouted loudly: "His Majesty the Queen of Sardinia and His Royal Highness Prince Alessio!"


    Everyone consciously stopped talking and leaned to the sides, leaving the aisle in the middle.


    The two gold-plated doors behind the attendants opened, and the two attendants came out first, standing on the left and right sides of the door, and appeared from inside with the queen and the prince. The people closest to them began to salute, the curtsy of the ladies was particularly courtly, and the queen nodded to them one by one.


    Liao Qiang had seen the appearance of the Queen of Sardinia on TV, but this was the first time he had contact with her in reality. He saw her walking in a very dignified manner accompanied by the king''s husband, and he also recalled the appearance of this kind of circle in his heart. Social etiquette. When the queen passed here, she slowed down.


    Liao Qiang was surprised, but he nodded and bowed naturally. The daughter beside him curtseyed gracefully. Usually, the bigger the gesture, the more respect he showed. Introduced: "This is Miss Liao!"


    "Not bad!" Queen Joanna applauded, her eyes fell on Liao Qiang, and the attendant with an amazing memory said: "This is Mr. Liao!"


    "Your-Majesty!" Liao Qiang greeted.


    "Is this girl your daughter?" asked the Queen.


    "Yes, Your Majesty." He nodded, "She is my daughter."


    "Pretty girl!" the queen applauded.


    "Thank you, Your Majesty." He was flattered and said that there were not many people who could get special compliments.


    The prince also nodded, and the queen continued to move forward.


    After the queen and the prince finished walking this section of the road and stepped into the concert hall inside, the scene was restored to the previous order. Liao Qiang''s daughter had a lot of emotions: "She is more attractive than in the movie, and the prince''s smile is so beautiful, my God! I can''t imagine that I have come into close contact with them!"


    Liao Qiang smiled and said to his daughter who was immersed in the scene just now: "Is it very exciting to see the idol in reality?"


    "Of course��oh!" She frowned suddenly, "It''s a pity that no one took pictures, what a pity!"


    Liao Qiang comforted her: "There will be opportunities in the future."


    This sentence was originally a good wish, but I didn''t expect it to become a reality later. The prince came over with a white man in a gray and white dress, and introduced them to each other: "This is Mr. Dros, an investor. The two are Mr. Liao and his daughter."


    "Nice to meet you." Dross reached out to him, "Robin Dross!"


    "Peter Liao." Liao Qiang shook hands with him, "This is my daughter Anne."


    "Nice to meet you, Peter and Anne!" Dross smiled, "Your Highness recommended you to me, I heard that you are a real estate agent, and you happen to have some plans..."


    Liao Qiang talked about business with Dross. Specifically, the construction of office buildings in the capital''s business district is a large project, and even some projects allow a small proportion of investment. The important thing is that the location is the best, and the cost is naturally high. This is what he has always wanted to get, but there is no way.


    On the other side, Ms. Liao chatted with the heroes of the whole people in surprise, which made others envious. What about the last richest name?


    Enough to make many people kneel and lick.


    As a rare referrer, An Feng chatted with them a few more words.


    He is also optimistic about the construction companies under Liao Qiang. They are also well-known abroad. The important thing is that domestic construction personnel charge reasonable prices. If so many projects are done by Westerners, the cost will be high and the efficiency will be slow. People nowadays are smart and know how to look for good quality and low price.


    The friendly conversation lasted until the male attendant whispered a few words in his ear, before An Feng left: "Miss Liao, it''s a pleasure to meet you!"


    "Me too, Your Royal Highness!" Miss Liao said.


    An Feng nodded, turned around and left with his attendants.


    Matthew and a few friends were waiting for him on the other side. After An Feng walked over, he smiled and said, "How does it feel to be a hero in a lady''s heart?"


    "I think this is just normal communication." An Feng said.


    Matthew said: "You can see the admiration in her eyes is about to pop out. If you are an unmarried man, there will be countless women fighting for you on the spot."


    Other friends are also laughing.


    "Stop laughing at me." An Feng shook his head. Change the subject: "I have an invitation. I plan to hold a hunt after December. The main purpose is to train the children. Are you interested?"


    "Exactly?" Matthew asked, "I''m in the UK around Christmas, so it''s okay to come to your place."


    An Feng said: "At the beginning of December, in the central region, let the children carry shotguns to find a deer, and maybe they can meet foxes and wild boars."


    Matthew is interested: "Okay, I''ll bring them."


    An Feng looked at the others: "Gentlemen, how are you doing tonight?"


    During the royal communication, a little later, Joanna gave a speech with a few short words. She welcomed everyone to attend and enjoy this gathering night, and the ladies and gentlemen in the audience applauded. There will be a dance party with upbeat music, refreshments and cocktails at the same time.

 Chapter 474： Make a Miracle 【Third Watch】

    Chapter 474 Making Miracles ��Third Watch��


    The communication at night promoted the conclusion of many business cooperation in the future, coupled with the policy direction brought by government personnel, it also made many people decide to invest in the local area. At present, there is a large gap in the mutual demand of various industries in Sardinia, and there are many opportunities for development from the foundation.


    As a medium, the royal family effectively communicated with both domestic and foreign parties.


    This is a sense of responsibility, and the two of them really handled things well. In the future city construction, many of the guests present tonight will contribute. But the old problem also followed-the labor shortage. The small population leads to a shortage of jobs.


    The treatment of the royal family enterprises is good and supports many domestic residents. However, due to the inferior conditions and treatment of foreign enterprises, they lack competitiveness and will also dampen investor confidence. It is indeed more difficult to run a country than to run a business, considering many aspects.


    The advantage is that the government and the royal family can communicate very well, and the think tanks of both sides are also making suggestions. Regarding the possible labor shortage in the future, the prime minister and the queen discussed the results of the preliminary discussions in the parliament and decided to continue to relax the policy and absorb more migrant.


    With the current 1.5 million residents, even if everyone can give birth, the population will double in 20 years at the earliest...But the country cannot have 1.5 million women of school age. Appropriate relaxation of visas for foreign companies and multinational companies is a way to make up for population and employment.


    The positions in foreign companies and multinational companies are generally high-paying, and no matter how low they are, they are still in the middle class. The immigration policy here is relaxed, which has little impact on the overall social atmosphere, because these people are highly educated and ideal targets for immigrants , kill two birds with one stone.


    Joanna also mentioned the aspects that An Feng paid attention to: "I suggest that immigration below this level should continue to be strict. We can''t just disrupt the order that we worked hard to increase the population. Refer to the current situation in some Western European countries. , I don��t think it��s a good thing.��


    "My wife and I have the same point of view." Mancini said, "That''s why we propose to relax some conditions for middle-class people."


    Joanna nodded: "These proposals are very good."


    Mancini hooked up several items in the notepad: "There will be a new immigration bill that needs to be signed by you in the future."


    ��


    The foundation of the country''s development is not a big problem. On the contrary, the working population has become a problem that drags down economic growth. The royal family''s business is as streamlined and intelligent as possible. Originally, there were three positions, but now one person cooperates with one machine to increase the wages of workers.


    This finally solved part of the problem, but the problem also came with it. Everyone likes decent jobs, but few people are interested in some grassroots manual jobs such as construction, cleaning, and housekeeping maintenance. In addition to mechanical automation, some practitioners from the third world have to be absorbed.


    An Feng feels that a country is like a balance, with both ends balanced.


    Properly handled, this hierarchy can motivate people to move upwards and strive for a better life. However, in European and American countries, the high cost of labor is obvious. Although the work is undignified and labor-intensive, the salary is higher than that of ordinary white-collar workers.


    In the end, he still throws the trouble to the government, and if he can''t do it well, he can fire them.


    ��


    At the end of September, Hal reported two good news.


    First of all, Anshi Industry updated a batch of industrial infrastructure equipment.


    Specifically, CNC mold production lines and steel materials. The steel industry is handed over to foreign companies for production, and the locals only engage in high-value and high-secret fields. The mold production line is a good thing. It can make all kinds of molds, from small mobile phones to large airplanes. It can be called the mother of industry.


    In the development of industrial technology in recent years, the promotion of An''s Industry is very important, but the top countries have more advanced technology, while the middle and high-end countries have not advanced. Specifically, Europe-Europe really wants to rise, get rid of the shadow of the United States, and is not willing to be a younger brother.


    Because their economy is good, there is a great market demand for this.


    An''s Industry finally did something serious.


    With the mass production of their excellent mold production lines and high-end CNC equipment, there will be a lot of orders in the future. Both developing and developed countries need these mothers of industry. At the same time, high technology must be exchanged at a high price, and the cooperation with China is a typical example.


    The second good news is that in the research base in Tanzania, a large-area room temperature superconductor has been artificially synthesized, and the mass production of the cost reduction is also fast. In order to coordinate the development time of the two ends, the mass production of the superconductor continues. And the design plan was also officially launched.


    It is impossible for him to wait until the mass production of superconductors before slowly digging the foundation, and he has to start now.


    Since the idea of ??"Sky Garden" came out, he asked his assistant to find a designer... The result was that both the assistant and the designer were shocked. When this kind of fantasy is about to be put into reality one day, you will be unable to recover for a while. But after understanding the science, it is not impossible.


    The designer started to get busy, An Feng asked Eve to discuss with the designer.


    Superconductors and other data issues are worth pondering. Originally, he planned to be a 200��200-meter aerial platform, but after several revisions and expansions, and after considering the balance between investment and income using superconductors, the design of the platform was expanded. To the extent of 400��305.


    How to calculate the specific process is very complicated. After such a large piece of land is lifted into the air, plus the total mass of the reinforced concrete base, in addition to the lifting capacity of the superconductor, the strength of the magnetic field is enhanced, the height of the normal suspension, and the fault state. Safe distance, safe escape measures...


    A series of complicated jobs to consider, Eve who studied architecture just came in handy.


    An Feng brought two assistants to meet with the local officials in early October. They had learned His Royal Highness''s thoughts two days in advance, and digested the "impossible" in the past with scientific knowledge, so after the meeting, there was a set of simple etiquette, and then everyone took the bus Go to destination.


    It is just around the city, very close to the city center, with convenient transportation.


    The idea is a "shopping center" decorated with green trees and flowers, that is, the downtown shopping mall is moved to it, taking into account the purposes of shopping, eating, entertainment and viewing. Considering the maximum load-bearing, the building cannot exceed three floors, and it is open, allowing visitors to experience the excitement of being suspended in the air.


    Because there are countless shopping malls in the world, what tourists love is freshness and creativity��the designer expands infinitely from this aspect to reflect the creativity and charm of technology, so that tourists always know that they are in the unique sky garden in the world. main problem.


    The ground can consider using some transparent designs, so that they can see the busy world under their feet, and always know that this is the sky, without any support around, and it is the most unique place in the world. You can also take pictures as much as you want, and enjoy leisure and entertainment when you are tired.


    The designer''s idea made up for many vacancies in Anfeng''s imagination. There are a lot of creative ideas, and there are currently many plans, provided that the plan can be successful. An Feng surveyed the land on the spot, combined with the designer''s holographic 3D design drawing, it was clearly displayed.


    An Feng raised some ideas, and the designer will continue to improve them.


    Now what he needs to consider is the issue of the base. The design in this area must be rigorous. Using the robot and human cooperation mode, first build a 400��305-meter platform on the predetermined ground. The base is reinforced concrete, and the surrounding areas are reserved. A space for placing superconductors; then a layer of water-proof membrane is laid on it; then a layer of heat-absorbing film; finally a layer of concrete.


    After the base is built, in order to save time and cost, the building is built on it. It is currently a three-story structure, a bit of a Greek temple style, with spectacular stairs and rows of tall stone pillars on the front. When tourists walk to the main entrance, The suspended scenery looking back is wonderful.


    The first thing to get done is the base. The total weight is calculated according to the density of various materials. The quality of the base is at the safest level, and the lightest one needs 200,000 tons. Add the upper building and the maximum tourist capacity, and then add 3% of the overweight value , it needs at least 400,000 tons.


    The superconductors needed here are not a small number - if it is a complete room temperature superconductor, the cost will be very high, so some of them use room temperature superconductors, and more high temperature superconductors. room".


    The high-temperature superconductor of Angler Industries can superconduct at minus 10 degrees Celsius. The refrigerator can just meet the conditions, and it also saves energy. Room-temperature superconductors are more free, and usually pay attention to heat dissipation, so that it cannot lose its superconducting ability due to the influence of ambient temperature.


    The design of the base was completed a long time ago. It has been verified by many designers and calculated by Eve. The supercomputer has repeatedly built models and tested various possibilities, including encountering power failures, explosions, terrorist attacks, storms, etc., and selected the best one. Appropriate design and security model.


    Finally, this plan was confirmed and implemented.


    Starting today, the surrounding area will become a brand new construction site. The robots that have just escaped from the construction of the nuclear power plant will continue to go into battle shirtless after a round of parts maintenance. Together with the designers, they will create a super platform, which is expected to take five months to complete.


    As for the building above, it will take half a year at the fastest, or a year if you are careful.


    As for superconductors... the time is still uncertain, but it will not be too long beyond the completion of the building. At present, Hal is looking for the most cost-effective way. With the breakthrough of high-temperature superconductors, An Feng will spend more to build the sky garden, 6 billion It can be achieved left and right.


    Before the construction started, the surrounding area was surrounded, but the curiosity of the local media couldn��t be stopped��go to the government department to inquire and get a sensational news. A certain construction company is going to cooperate with Anshi Industries to build a "sky garden" and use modern technology to create human miracles.


    A government official revealed that the specific use of such a magical thing as superconductors, no matter how specific...he couldn''t answer. When asked about the cost, he proudly said that more than 20 billion euros would be needed, even considering the cost of superconductors, it would be even higher, but miracles will definitely come true!


    Well, it is obviously suspected of fooling the masses, this is a "spy photo".


    An Feng didn''t want the details to be known to the outside world at the beginning of the plan. Anyway, you can blow it up as you like, first use this gimmick to make Olbia popular for a while, and after the sky garden is completed, it may be popular for decades-according to the difficulty given by Hal, other countries want to get it It will take at least forty or fifty years for this kind of superconductor to use their industrial foundation for mass production.


    So An Feng will be a very unique existence.


    The next day the newspaper network discussed this matter, and within a few days the whole world knew about it, but because the renderings have not yet been released, people just laughed about it. It was a crazy idea of ??a certain government, just like the various discoveries of UFOs and aliens in the past. Rumors that they had a relationship and gave birth to a child.

 Chapter 475： Superstar level

    Chapter 475 Superstar Level


    An Feng doesn''t mind outside comments, that is, the more controversy there is, the more people will discuss it, and the more publicity it will have. He is now letting the whole world know that Sardinia wants to build a real hanging garden without any support, and use the power of science to support miracles.


    After the matter is settled, he is preparing for the state banquet in November.


    One day when Gu Li visited as a guest, An Feng sent out an invitation: "On the night of National Day, bring your wife to the banquet and show your face."


    As the actual commander of the country''s military, Guli''s participation is inevitable. He nodded: "I will, and I will also appear like a politician, right?"


    "Almost." An Feng said, "How is Madam''s child recently? I haven''t seen you for a while. Alexei is six years old, right?"


    "I''m going to be seven years old." Gu Li said, "It''s okay, Liana likes the environment here, it''s very relaxed."


    "This is a good place." An Feng said, "Don''t focus on work, find some time to walk around, relax in France and Italy for a few days."


    "There is a plan." Gu Li said.


    "Appropriate leisure will make life better." An Feng said, "By the way, does the child only have a Russian name? Is it Alexei Guryevich?"


    Guri said: "There is also an English name, and her mother takes ''Daniel''."


    An Feng said: "Then just call him Daniel, right? There is also this name in Russian loanwords, right?"


    He said: "So we''re looking at it."


    Chatted with him about homework and found a place to sit down. Xiaobai, who was active in the distance, spotted them and ran over. It was followed by a pack of black retrievers. It seems that Xiaobai is quite able to adapt to living with a large group of "little creatures". An Feng rubbed its head: "Sit down!"


    Xiaobai wanted to get closer, but An Feng smiled and avoided: "No, no, sit down for me!"


    After Xiaobai confirmed it, he sat on the ground with his hind legs bent like a tabby cat, with his tail curled up. Gu Li smiled at this scene: "A tiger with human nature."


    "Good girl!" An Feng shook hands with it.


    Guri''s purpose is not just to chat, he also discusses some defense and arms sales issues with An Feng. Because he judged from this series of events that some countries are very optimistic about their industrial base, and An Feng''s appeal is also included. So there may be a situation of betting on the future.


    The reason...Because the European economy is picking up, while the United States is catching a cold, some ambitious big countries feel that being a junior for so many years is enough. With the rise of China, other potential powers are emerging. Although the United States is still the world''s hegemon, its influence Not as bad as before.


    Guri reminded him that this could be opportunity or trouble.


    After hearing some advice, An Feng followed the thinking of an international capitalist: "This is an excellent business."


    Gu Li knew clearly: "It seems that my worries are unnecessary."


    ��


    In early October, during China��s Golden Week holiday, friends from China visited. Wu Chao and Wang Le each brought their own families. An Feng also took time to receive them. Since the palace was built, his life has been a bit busy, and he can relax when friends come over.


    An Feng sent a car to pick them up. After a while, two Maseratis entered the Moncalieri Palace through the side door. This will also be the first batch of residents received by the palace. Originally, they wanted to make it more formal, but An Feng considered It would be too serious to be received by the royal family''s standards, and it would be uncomfortable.


    After all, this is not receiving foreign guests, but friends.


    When the two cars stopped at the main gate of the palace, An Feng smiled and hugged them, and also greeted the two children.


    Wu Chao looked up at this magnificent building: "This house feels more grand than yours in California, and it is special at a glance."


    An Feng said: "This is the purpose of the designer, please invite some of you!"


    They went in together, and the luggage was naturally taken care of by the servants. An Feng showed them a brief tour. Like the guests who visited several times in the past, everyone also opened their eyes. They thought that it would be difficult to take care of the details in a hurry, but after the actual experience, they were completely impressed by the exquisiteness.


    "Artwork." In Wang Le''s words.


    "Can I take pictures?" Ji Min asked, "There is also a group photo, and let us be in your light in the future."


    An Feng smiled: "Please feel free."


    "Give me a few too." Wang Le leaned in front of the camera and said, "This is a blockbuster that attracts fans, a small number of lucky people in the world."


    An Feng said: "You''d better go to the news hall, that will be the place to entertain the heads of state in the future."


    "where?"


    An Feng took them there, and then he was left out in the cold. The layout of the news hall is indeed tall, spacious, luxurious and grand, fully reflecting the style of a royal family, but it will not make people feel that the combination of multiple elements is abrupt, after all, they are recognized as the richest couple in the world.


    It took a while to visit before they sat down contentedly.


    The two children, Harry and Lulu, are interested in small animals. The two corgis raised by Alice are cute with short legs, and the children are immediately satisfied with holding one. Even Alice, who came back from school, is also a favorite of all kinds of pets who are satisfied with her.


    An Feng also caught up with the two friends, discussed the class reunion next year, and planned to come again.


    Wu Chao said: "Actually, we stopped by to visit and planned to take advantage of the holiday to watch a football game. The day after tomorrow happens to be Liverpool''s game."


    Wang Le added: "Because women and children have no love for this aspect, so..."


    An Feng gave a "I understand" smile: "I believe the scenery here is enough to make them forget where you are."


    "To be honest, this place is really beautiful." Wu Chao said, "I felt it on the road. It is a country where you can spend peaceful time freely."


    "Are you interested in staying?" An Feng said casually.


    "Thank you for your high opinion." Wu Chao smiled, "But I am still used to life in China, and I have many acquaintances... By the way, is the big boss interested in going to the football game with us?"


    "The day after tomorrow?" An Feng thought for a while.


    Wang Le said: "We haven''t met for a long time, and now we have some free time, let''s go to reminisce about our youth together, have a lively time, and have a few more beers or something."


    Then An Feng agreed.


    Private jet north to England, with two friends and four bodyguards. Although An Feng feels that members of the royal family are not the same as important government officials, because of their special status, a certain force of guards is necessary, especially when traveling, safety is secondary, and information confidentiality is the main thing.


    Because spies like to steal information from people, An Feng still has a lot of secrets, ranging from military affairs to technology, so it is inevitable that someone will be interested in him. So Guli arranged for him some bodyguards who were good at anti-tracking and anti-espionage, and they have been used to this day.


    And subsequent facts proved that bodyguards are necessary.


    When An Feng showed up at the Bida Stadium, he was naturally surrounded by bodyguards, yelling wildly and high-profile all the way, and had a seat in the most central stand. This also allowed fans to recognize him quickly. In the two years since the disaster, he and Joanna haven''t shown up again.


    Although he didn''t see where the former female boss was, An Feng has also accumulated a high popularity.


    Especially with his current status, he immediately won the cheers of the fans after he appeared, An Feng also waved, the camera lens recorded this scene, and he did not hesitate to give a long shot, and the live commentary of the TV station was also very excited Fan, because he is a fan of An Feng.


    People generally have several favorite things, like the fans at the scene, they must like football, and there is character worship, and when these two things that usually don��t come together suddenly collide, it��s very exciting. Excited and pleasantly surprised, the fans spontaneously cheered for him.


    The situation was a bit too exciting, and the stadium temporarily added ten security guards around him.


    It''s a bit exaggerated, but it''s just in case. If there is any accident, not to mention diplomatic incidents, fans all over the world can drown people by spitting.


    There were cheers from all directions, concerned eyes and flashing lights, and even the fans behind him boldly asked for a group photo... An Feng also asked the bodyguards and the security personnel arranged by the stadium to make a gap, and let a few enthusiastic admirers come with him some selfies.


    Hearing the cheers behind him, Wang Le smiled: "You are now a superstar comparable to the king of heaven!"


    "No?" An Feng was modest.


    Wu Chao said: "Come on, the heroes of the people are not called for nothing, and after the movie was released, the whole world is promoting it. What do you think?"


    "It feels a little bit." An Feng looked around, and the crowd was really enthusiastic, so he nodded and waved to several ladies, and they screamed. This power... also surprised An Feng. I''m afraid it''s because of the fame in the disaster first, and then the credit for the movie promotion in the future.


    Later in the game, An Feng had to wear sunglasses. One is to cover up his expression, and the other is that after every outstanding attack by Liverpool, there are always cameras that like to sweep over him, so he has to keep a low profile. Seeing the goal later, he was still infected by the atmosphere of the scene and gave a standing ovation.


    Liverpool won the home game. Having been in the team for many years, after Anfeng��s series of money-burning policies, the profits were not much, and the losses were a lot, but the fan base of the team has expanded. Because of the pride and the gathering of big-name stars, the popularity of the whole world is very high. .


    From a broader perspective, the publicity has made up for the loss of the operation. With today''s luxurious lineup and business operation capabilities, they can continue to operate well even without the female boss burning money. This is Anfeng''s standard for fun - self-responsibility for profit and loss is the most perfect.


    Leaving after the game, An Feng had to experience the treatment of a superstar again.


    One or two freshness is enough, it is too famous, it is very convenient to follow everywhere. When the three of them were having a drink at the bar at night, they felt that there were women winking everywhere, and some people secretly took selfies with them in the background, making themselves look like orangutans in a zoo.


    On the way back from the plane, a few of them were flipping through photos on their phones.


    Wang Le did sigh frequently: "If the third child can become famous earlier, these hot girls would have to strip naked and have fun in our bed last night!"


    Wu Chao said: "You should blame yourself for getting married early!"


    "Someone regrets it now." An Feng smiled, "You guys have to clean up the photos of dancing with hot girls, or don''t blame me for kneeling on the keyboard tonight."


    Wang Le nodded: "You still have experience, these years have not been in vain."


    An Feng: "Fuck!"

 Chapter 476： hunting palace

    Chapter 476 Hunting Palace


    There are always gains and losses. The Liverpool scene is something that may happen now and in the future. He has bid farewell to ordinary life, but he is not an entertainment star. He wants to keep a low profile but is famous... In the end, he stayed in Sardinia. At least life here is calm and comfortable.


    In November, the state banquet at the Moncalieri Palace was also held on time.


    Although it was a banquet with simple dishes, it required more than 50 people to participate. The most important test was whether the palace steward could handle the job well and arrange the details in place. At the same time, it is also a time to show the face of the royal family. In the future, this form will have to be used for visiting foreign heads of state.


    Facts have proved that Brandon is very good, the state banquet ended at 11:30, and the guests left satisfied. And the leftover mess needs to be dealt with in an orderly manner by the servants, and this will be one of the few busy moments in the palace. Other forms of state banquets rarely have so many guests participating.


    After November, the temperature gradually drops and winter comes.


    An Feng likes this climate very much. In winter, he can feel cold, but the house does not have all-weather heating; in summer, it is hot, but affected by the sea breeze, it is not extremely hot, and the high temperature is in the early 30s. The island is very comfortable and cozy all year round, the first choice for leisure.


    Christmas holidays are approaching, and a year of work is coming to an end.


    This is the time for vacation and travel, but the Moncalieri Palace is very busy. At the beginning of the month, the royal family will leave the Moncalieri Palace and go to the western part of Nuoro province, stay in the local hunting palace, and invite friends to participate in the royal hunting For the event, the servants have to prepare the details.


    On the morning of the 5th, the guards delivered the inspected vehicles to them. They were all SUVs, seven-seat full-size models launched by Jeep, pure electric, driven by front and rear motors, and the high-end version has a range of 550 kilometers. The EU standard charging station only takes three minutes Can be fully charged.


    The price of the high-end version is about 60,000 euros. In China, it is a million-level SUV. In view of Jeep��s consistent off-road style, its performance and comfort are taken into account. The royal family specially ordered a batch and slightly modified it as a royal car. The car is very popular in Asia and North America.


    Matthew also arrived in the morning. Except for the absence of his daughter, the youngest son William and his wife were present. After everyone prepared their luggage, they boarded the car and set off. Two families each had a car, and the rest was a guard car, and they all carried short guns and gun licenses.


    The central part of Sardinia is sparsely populated. It used to be a hunting ground for local residents. It is said that there are European wild boars and bears. Considering safety, the four guards are equipped with guns.


    Depart by car and follow the GPS prompts to go north. They need to follow the road to Oristano, and then turn to Macomel, a small town west of Nuoro. The whole journey is more than 140 kilometers. The road is spacious and straight, with beautiful pastoral scenery on both sides, and the speed of the vehicle is maintained at a relatively high level.


    Sardinia''s highway construction is very good, two-way four-lane, occasionally there is a national road beside it, surrounded by fences and green grass in the middle, there are few vehicles on the road, and there is no concept of toll booths, so it takes about an hour to reach the destination Macmer City.


    Macommel is not big, but the road connecting the north and the south will pass through here. To the north of it is a large area of ??plains and rolling mountains. There are mountains and flat land, which are very suitable for the reproduction of wild animals, but also bring difficulty to hunting. But the essence of hunting is to enjoy the process.


    The Royal Hunting Palace is located in a remote place. After leaving the city, the convoy entered an area protected by wooden fences. From here, it is the queen''s private domain, which is not small, close to 20,000 acres. The longest is eight kilometers and the widest is five kilometers, covering the nearby plains and forests.


    A one-way road leads to the depths of the dense forest ahead. The GPS has no hints, but it is obvious that as long as you follow the road, you can find the destination. After the convoy passed through a quiet pine forest, it suddenly became clear that a building with a domed watchtower appeared in front of it.


    The vehicle in front slowed down, and the Royal Hunting Palace was surrounded by tall trees, hidden in the jungle. This is also in line with the purpose of the Hunting Palace. It must not be located in a downtown area. Only by choosing a sparsely populated forest area can it provide sufficient space for activities for the princes and nobles.


    Considering the impact, the designer did not name the building. "Royal Hunting Palace" is just a common name, because there may be some very silent animal protectors in the outside world��even if wild boars bulldozed all the crops in the field, it is very important to protect them. Mainstream crowd - the royal family has to beware of gossip.


    So it is called a royal leisure place to the outside world.


    The convoy came to the main entrance of the Hunting Palace, and the servants who heard the news opened the iron gate. A day earlier, fifteen servants had moved in early to clean up the Hunting Palace. After driving in, they stopped in the courtyard, and everyone got out of the car, looking up at this somewhat tall retro building.


    The design of Hunting Palace is a bit of neoclassical style, but this style is only used in residential buildings in a small amount, so the designer has made some modifications to make it more suitable for living. Compared with the luxurious Moncalieri Palace, it is just a very ordinary, big house with two towers, two stories high and twenty bedrooms.


    Matthew looked at it: "Is this the one that existed before?"


    An Feng said: "No, it was built recently."


    "How is it possible!" Matthew couldn''t believe it. The appearance of the Hunting Palace was a little mottled, and the white walls were yellowing. It felt like history at a glance.


    An Feng smiled: "Don''t let the technology fool you, it uses 3D printing technology like the palace, so that the real ones are fake. Go and see the layout inside the house."


    "How strange!" said Matthew.


    The servants came to take away the luggage, and they entered the house together.


    Although the house is not big, since it is called a "palace", it will not be too small. Its appearance is not a long strip, but a large square. Dining room and lounge, as well as the important exhibition hall, used to display prey specimens.


    Generally speaking, the house is mostly decorated in dark tones, a large number of handmade carpets are laid on the wooden floor, and there is a retro fireplace in the living room. It is okay to burn wood for heating if necessary, but now it is mostly geothermal, and there are hidden places above the head. The air outlet of the central air conditioner.


    After a brief visit, return to the room to prepare clothes.


    The bedroom is like a deluxe room in a hotel, with a bed, a desk, a wardrobe, and a bathroom. Its main purpose is to live, allowing guests to spend their minds on hunting, so the interior decoration is low-key luxury. After changing into their hunting clothes, they gathered in the living room.


    All of their hunting suits are custom-made, and the styles are almost the same: durable trousers for easy movement, coats with many pockets, convenient backpacks, and shoes or boots for both men and women. Do not pursue luxury, everything is practical.


    But women who love beauty still found a lot of fashion ideas. Joanna added a plaid headscarf to cover her hair on the basis of the safari suit; a pair of polarized sunglasses, which still have ultraviolet rays at noon; and a pair of non-slip gloves. Dressing up like this is also photogenic.


    Christina said: "You really know how to match!"


    Joanna said: "Although hunting is physical work, we must retain some charm, right?"


    "I agree." She nodded, "I also like free style dressing."


    The three children are similar, small clothes, small boots and gloves, don''t look at their fragile appearance, they will be the main force later, this hunting is for training the children, otherwise the adults should go Africa, play on the real grassland.


    Men''s dress is mainly practical, not fancy.


    An Feng said to them: "Let''s go and count the weapons."


    National laws allow private ownership of guns, but guns are not allowed in public places, short guns cannot be owned without special permission, long guns must be non-automatic, and can only be used at home or in places where guns are allowed, and the bullets must be separated when taking the car out. Use a dedicated gun lock��


    The management regulations for gun ownership are very strict. If you really want to play with guns, the gun shop is a good choice. There are automatic weapons. Under the standard management regulations, citizens can also get in touch with guns, learn related knowledge, and cultivate fun. It''s not just strict control.


    The royal family leads by example and does not use short guns-although the guards have them. The two adults chose sniper rifles and shotguns, and brought some ammunition, binoculars and basic equipment.


    When they went out with guns and ammunition on their backs, a male servant brought over five purebred hounds with black hair. They are descendants of flat-haired retrievers Pipi and Dandan. Pipidandan dared to fight wild boars back then, and his offspring were not bad.


    "A lot!" Alice yelled, and two golden little ones ran over beside her.


    An Feng said: "Don''t take them there!"


    "Why, Dad?" Alice hugged one of them, Dodo. Since they are twins, Alice takes the same name.


    She just wants to add some trouble to the world.


    "It''s only this small." An Feng compared it with his hands, "I''m afraid it''s not enough for a wild boar to eat."


    "Huh?" She was surprised, "Would that make Fred also..."


    Fred: ������


    An Feng sweated: "I didn''t mean to say this, I mean, don''t take your pets out!"


    "If you don''t take it, don''t take it, why are you so fierce!" She said.


    "Joanna, I need your help!" An Feng left with his forehead covered.


    Joanna smiled and opened the SUV driver''s door: "Get in the car, leave the little ones here, and come play with them at night."


    Alice was basically irresistible to her mother.


    Joanna was driving, and An Feng had to tell the two children some precautions for using guns. Mostly Alice, Fred was too young to hold a gun. Matthew also told his 12-year-old son, William, that although it was not the first time he touched a gun, the details must not be let go.


    I used four vehicles this time. In addition to the guard vehicle, the pickup truck filled with hounds at the front is Aklan, the full-time hound caregiver and scout for hunting activities. Aclan is an Englishman who has a lot of research on training hounds and hunting. He can be said to be a teacher of hunting sports for the nobles.


    According to a helper from Acland on the walkie-talkie, they used drones to survey the surrounding environment for several kilometers yesterday. There were quite a lot of prey, mainly wild boars and red deer. In addition, there are some subspecies of gray wolves that do not exist locally, but It belongs to artificial introduction, ecological balance and so on.


    Their destination was a hilly terrain three kilometers away. The straight-line distance was three kilometers. It didn''t seem long, but it took twenty minutes to walk the mountain road. Leave the car and march on foot. He also brought four guards, two servants, and five hunting dogs. The hunting lineup was luxurious.


    The protagonists are three children. William and Alice are responsible for holding guns. Fred observes. The parents are responsible for guiding and looking for some easy tasks for them, so that the children can gain a sense of accomplishment. There''s extra fun for the grown-ups too - hunt deer with more than ten splits.

 Chapter 477： Hunting (on)

    Chapter 477 Hunting (Part 1)


    From getting off the car to choosing a hunting location, you also need to walk for a while. If you are not taking care of children, the essence of hunting should be exploring on foot or on horseback. Now leave a short distance to walk, and let them experience the fun of walking on the mountain road. At the beginning, the three little guys were very excited. The flowers and plants around them made them feel fresh. They ran ahead to let everyone hurry up, but within a few minutes, they fell behind.


    An Feng, with a shotgun on his back, turned his head: "Is this not enough?"


    "Very tired." Both Alice and William said.


    "It''s only been five minutes." An Feng smiled. "There is good news. The most persistent ones are allowed to choose their prey freely."


    What the **** is this attractive, they keep up.


    Slow down, and about fifteen minutes later, Aklan took them up the mountain from the foot of the mountain. On the other side was an open plain with few trees and lush green grass. "The terrain is good for foxes, wild boars and deer, and it''s more secluded," Akland said.


    An Feng stood on the top of the mountain and looked around, nodded: "Just choose this place!"


    They found a flat ground and laid mats. An Feng took down the shotgun, a classic SSG69, and a magazine. After checking, he handed the gun to Alice: "According to what I told you, the standard lying Shooting posture, details and process all need attention.��


    Alice caught the gun that was almost as tall as her, pulled the trigger skillfully, checked whether there was any ammunition in the chamber, then checked the safety, and then reloaded the magazine. Before the prey was found, the gun would not be loaded. The same is true for William next to her, and the parents supervise the process.


    Others squat or lie next to the child, and take out the telescope and rangefinder. Aklan arranged a task, and the guards patrolled and observed the surroundings, and then released the hounds to track down the prey that might be out in the vicinity, and drive them to this place if there is a chance.


    Hunting is a test of stamina and patience, and the choice of location must be appropriate. If a group of prey is killed casually, it will lose the fun, so it is best to have a small number of targets that can make people concentrate...Aklan and others It is up to you to find such a goal.


    The three children were tired from walking just now, and they are chatting now.


    After all, they are not soldiers, and they have to find something to pass the time while waiting. The two ladies sat behind the stone and chatted about tonight''s meal, plans after the hunt, or some family chores... Matthew and An Feng were pure , in the exchange of experience in the use of firearms.


    Thirty minutes later, Aklan''s voice sounded on the intercom on the ground: "There is a wild boar running towards you. It weighs about 180 pounds. It was bitten by a hound on its front leg, but it is a very cunning guy! I Let the hounds drive it from your ten o''clock direction."


    "Get ready for action, children!" An Feng got down on his stomach and picked up the binoculars.


    The two children raised their guns and stared at the scope, and Fred picked up the rangefinder... About five minutes later, a black panicked figure appeared in the field of vision of the telescope in the green grass. It was far away, but the surroundings were quiet, except The sound of the wind was the faint whining of a wild boar.


    "Load it!" An Feng said.


    Alice pushed up and pulled the handle vigorously, then pulled it back, and repeatedly pushed it back to the original position. A small-caliber bullet had been loaded, and Fred, who was in charge of distance measurement, read out the data: "520...500..."


    The wild boar was running towards them, unaware that there were several pairs of eyes staring at it from above.


    "Calm down...Calm down." Matthew pressed his hand down, his voice very slow and soft, for fear of scaring away the prey. When Fred''s report stopped at 320 meters, the wild boar stopped.


    It turned sideways, one eye looked out, and it gasped.


    "Turn on the safety!" An Feng whispered, keeping his arms propped up, and the other hand on Alice''s shoulder that was holding the gun. Even with the special use of small-caliber ammunition, a child of this age still couldn''t withstand the recoil. So they both get a shot each.


    Alice��s thumb holding the gun pushed open the upper safety, revealing a red dot. It was already in the disarmed state and ready to fire at any time. William beside him gave a thumbs up with the other hand, indicating that he was also ready. All communication is carried out quietly.


    At a distance of 300 meters, it is still difficult to hit it. The adjustment of the magnification of the scope is only one point, and there is also the selection of the scale, the wind direction and the environment considered... But the child does not have such complicated ideas. Put your crosshairs on the ugly creature and fire on command.


    Matthew said: "Listen to my order..."


    The children''s index fingers were already on the trigger, and the wild boar was wandering around restlessly. It could feel danger by instinct, but there were pursuers behind and ambushes in front. It might be difficult for its simple mind to make a decision. At that moment, Matthew said: "Fire!"


    The two children pulled the triggers almost at the same time, and the two bullets flew out from the barrel, chasing different parts of the wild boar. Run like a frightened bird.


    "Miss." An Feng reported, "Continue to load!"


    "Hit!" said Matthew.


    Alice reacted, pulled the handle, withdrew the hot bullet casing inside, and reloaded the bullet. But the wild boar trail is very difficult to grasp, and it is impossible for children to hit it. At this time, the voice of the walkie-talkie sounded: "Pay attention to the firepower, we will chase!"


    "Turn off the insurance!" An Feng said to Alice.


    Everyone stood up one after another, the wild boar fled in another direction, the hounds roared behind them, and several excited hounds chased after them, followed by Aklan and two guards. An Feng looked at the children who were eager to try, and said, "Give me the gun! We will chase too!"


    "Follow up! Children!" Matthew said, and they went down the mountain one after the other.


    The sound of the hounds was still echoing nearby. Considering the safety of the children, they did not go down the mountain fast, but they could be sure that the prey did not escape the pursuit. The most exciting part of the hunt was that the three children had just had enough rest. The stimulation made them forget their fatigue. Excited to follow behind the parents.


    "I hit it!" William said excitedly, "It''s great!"


    "I��" Alice jumped over a stone, "I created the opportunity for you!"


    "Really?" William didn''t believe it.


    "If you don''t believe me, ask my dad." She said while running, "Otherwise you definitely wouldn''t..."


    "Look ahead, children!" Matthew pointed to more than 200 meters away, the hounds had surrounded the wild boar, and the two sides were engaged in hand-to-hand combat.


    Five tall and mighty hounds, facing an already extremely angry wild boar, it is very interesting.


    They stood halfway up the mountain and picked up binoculars to observe. The shortest Fred even pulled La Anfeng''s clothes: "Dad, I can''t see it."


    An Feng picked him up and handed the binoculars to him: "Is this okay?"


    "I saw it!" He happily picked up the binoculars. While the fight was going on, the hunters around were watching, and the weapons in their hands were already loaded.


    It was very difficult for the wild boar to break free from the encirclement. Five well-trained hounds besieged it in turn. They used coordinated raids and never confronted it head-on. The wild boar''s hind legs were bleeding, and it lost some flexibility, but it was still a maniac Yes, extremely dangerous creatures.


    Moreover, the hound''s teeth can only do so little damage to the wild boar. The wild boar''s skin is thick and thick, and it likes to roll in the mud. Over the years, its body is like a layer of armor. For a while, the two sides fought inextricably. Look for opportunities to break through.


    "Pigs are so powerful." Alice said.


    "This guy''s vitality is quite strong!" An Feng said, "Let''s keep up!"


    They went down the mountain, surrounded by hunters. The wild boar��s escape was only temporary, and the hounds behind never gave up. When they chased to the front, Aklan��s whistle sounded, and the hunting hounds turned back, followed by the sound of gunfire, and then the result came from the intercom: ��The prey is down! "


    "We succeeded!" An Feng said to everyone.


    "Victory!" The children clapped their hands in celebration.


    "We are going to go there." An Feng said to the people over there.


    The team slowed down to catch up. After walking 200 meters, they saw the surrounding crowd and hounds. They were biting the wild boar that fell on the ground. After a while, the wild boar finally whined and died. When observed in the past, its back and neck were hit by bullets, and the blood flow continued.


    Matthew poked the guy with a gun barrel: "It''s a thick layer of mud, no wonder the hounds can''t handle it!"


    "But we killed it!" William said.


    "And my help." Alice said, she just wanted to get her own credit here.


    "It''s all thanks to you." An Feng said with a smile, stroking Fred''s head: "There is also yours, an indispensable observer for an ace sniper!"


    Fred also laughed. Unlike his sister, he was not competitive.


    The next step is to commemorate the victory, squatting in front of this big guy in turn, holding their guns and taking pictures. The last thing is to consider how to carry this guy, because the nearby is hilly terrain, you have to climb mountains and ridges, and there is no means of transportation, so moving it is also a labor-intensive job.


    In the end, I took out the net cover I was carrying, covered the wild boar, grabbed one each in a group of four, and left from the nearest direction. The journey was less than one kilometer, but it also made these people very tired, that is, the ladies and children. A cozy discussion about their performance and dinner tonight.


    The practice is naturally indispensable to the roast pig feast, and Joanna has already called back to let the kitchen prepare it.


    Joanna put down the phone, turned to everyone and said, "How about we have a barbecue party tonight?"


    "I agree!" Alice raised her hand.


    Others have no opinion. Although charcoal grilled wild boar is not popular, it is good to do it once in a while. Especially this kind of wild hunting, which is almost an indispensable night leisure item... They worked hard to move the wild boar to the open area, and the off-road vehicle also drove over.


    It took one last effort to send the pig to the car, and everyone returned with a full load.

 Chapter 478： hunting (below)

    Chapter 478 Hunting (Part 2)


    Back to the Hunting Palace in the afternoon, the kitchen has already prepared tools and sharpened knives. Skilled chefs and helpers slaughtered a wild boar, cut off its head, and prepared the remaining body for the roast pig feast tonight. The pig''s head is also useful, and Aklan wants to take out the tusks.


    "Why?" Alice looked beside.


    Aklan explained: "Your Royal Highness, this is a hunting habit, leaving some items from the trophies as souvenirs."


    "So you want pig''s teeth?" she asked.


    "That''s right, Your Highness." Aklan smiled. Although Alice''s liveliness caused headaches for her parents, her cheerful personality was loved by everyone.


    "But it''s so ugly." Alice disliked it.


    An Feng came over and said: "Don''t ask the bottom line, these two are souvenirs, regardless of beauty or ugliness, if you don''t want it, just leave it to someone else."


    "No, I want it!" she said.


    "That''s up to you." An Feng said, "Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Akland."


    "Thank you, sir," he said.


    The barbecue dinner was naturally not indoors. They set up a table in the small outdoor garden, piled up red-hot charcoal, put the cleaned wild pork on it, brushed it with oil and seasonings, and floated 100 meters away. The eyes of the children were always lingering on the wild boar, swallowing their saliva from time to time.


    When I went back that night, everyone had oily mouths and bulging bellies, and even the little corgi was lazily lying down to digest...


    It''s a bit cold in the mountains at night, but the quilt is the most comfortable.


    An Feng came out of the hot bath and said to Joanna on the bed: "I want to come in, the cat moves aside!"


    "No, I just warmed here." She refused.


    An Feng got in: "I like this kind of warmth, can I hug you?"


    "Wait for me to turn around." She turned her back to An Feng and leaned into his arms.


    "The biggest advantage of this weather is that we can keep each other warm." An Feng hugged her, "And my girl is always so soft."


    "Don''t be like this." She smiled and shook, "Save some energy for hunting the next day. The children expect you to find a dozen deer with split ends."


    "I don''t have the thoughts in your little head." An Feng smiled, "Tomorrow their legs and feet will probably be sore, and it will take some time to recover. I will go out with Matthew to find out, and try to leave the opportunity for them. You So, are you going out with me or with Chrissy?"


    "See how the children are doing. If possible, I''ll drive them around. By the way, have you thought about things after the New Year?"


    "After a year?" An Feng thought for a while, "Is the Prime Minister nominated for a medal?"


    "There is also this, but I am not talking about the medal, but the hereditary title. What do you think?"


    "Conferring one by one, anyway, this is different from a medal. Most of the conferrings are based on the will of the monarch, and have little to do with merit. Of course, people will respect him more for a nobleman who is admired by the world. But it can''t always Wait for five or six years, wait for the fame to come out?"


    "Then I''ll let someone prepare for the canonization." Joanna said, "It''s time to add some members, after all, they are still our creditors."


    "It makes sense." An Feng said. So far, the payment for the purchase of the island has almost been repaid, and there is still 30 billion US dollars to be paid to the people of Sardinia in the third year. According to the statistics of the think tank, the amount owed to the consortium has reached 200 billion US dollars, which is not cheap. number.


    Because of emotion and reason, those who support them should get something in return.


    She said again: "But I want to control the number of medals and hereditary titles and award them in proportion to the population. Rare things are more expensive, what do you think?"


    An Feng said: "Let''s award three honorary medals a year."


    "It''s too little."


    An Feng smiled: "That''s up to you, Your Majesty the Queen."


    ��


    The hunting activities continued on the second day.


    As An Feng expected, two of the three children were killed in battle, and Alice, the most lively, had a little soreness in her legs and feet, so they stayed with their mother to rest for a day.


    An Feng and Matthew went out, still hunting alone, followed by a group of attendants.


    Because there is no child to take care of, the movement is more free, each person has a shotgun, and boots step on a path on the dense grass, professionally analyze the traces of ground animals, fur, excrement, and then track footprints... The overall rhythm is very fast, But the goals are few.


    There are no more than ten antler splits on the road, just skip it.


    There are many kinds of animals. They used shotguns to kill two wild boars that went out together. Before they came, they had learned from the local garden protection department that the surrounding area was sparsely populated. The large number of wild boars has threatened the crops of the Oristano Plain and must be controlled. live.


    So the principle is to kill as soon as you see it, but you are not interested in moving it back, cheap carnivores.


    At three o''clock, the group of people and hounds searched a large area around them, but they still didn''t find much. Having nothing to do, Matthew held the shotgun under his arm, took out his cigar, lit it, and walked comfortably with it in his mouth. An Feng had nothing else to do, so he chatted with him and greeted his family.


    Matthew took a puff of smoke: "Everyone is busy and has troubles."


    An Feng asked: "Is Catherine okay? Are you free this time?"


    "Who knows, I heard that he found a new boyfriend." Matthew frowned when he talked about this.


    An Feng knew that Catherine was ten years younger than him, maybe thirty-two years old. She got married a few years ago and divorced in less than a year. Now she is single, and her parents have a lot of headaches about her relationship problems. Although Westerners are open-minded, they all want their children to be happy.


    "When I first met her, she was still a high school student at the age of sixteen or seventeen." An Feng compared his hands, "She just came to me."


    "Time flies," Matthew said, "and we''re all getting old."


    "That''s an old view of yours, I don''t agree." An Feng shook his head, "God bless her, she can finally find a suitable partner."


    "Do you think our concepts are outdated?"


    "The society has opened up." An Feng turned his fingers around his head, "The thinking of young people is completely different from ours."


    Matthew sighed: "Who made us a product of the last century."


    "I don''t have high expectations for the future." An Feng walked around a pile of animal feces on the ground and looked at the nearby terrain. "Emotional setbacks are hard to avoid. What you have to go in life is also a mark of growth. And finally finding the right one is my greatest wish."


    Matthew smiled: "It seems that you are also worried about the future of the princes and princesses."


    "This is reality." An Feng said, "We don''t live in a place called ''fairy tales'', and there are fewer extramarital affairs in the royal family now?"


    Matthew said: "You are a standard role model."


    An Feng said: "Just because I met the right one, and I don''t bother to think about other things, this kind of thing is only suitable for young people, isn''t it?"


    "That''s true." Matthew raised his head, "Look over there! It looks like a pretty guy!"


    "Go forward and have a look." An Feng softened his footsteps.


    The two of them moved forward, and the attendants were all nearby, but it would take some time to arrive. After carefully going forward for more than ten meters, I found a beautiful deer with more than a dozen slits on its head. Just be careful not to hit your head and it will be a memorable loot.


    But a deer that can live for such a long time has enough experience.


    The red deer stopped suddenly and looked around. It was still as quiet as a sculpture one second before, and then ran wildly in the next second, and the two behind hurried to catch up.


    "Call them over!" An Feng said loudly, "If we can reach an open area, we might have a chance to catch this guy."


    Red deer run very fast, and the bouncing figure in the field of vision is getting farther and farther away.


    "FUCK!"


    An Feng''s rare swearing came from the front, Matthew followed up curiously, and An Feng''s voice came back: "Don''t come over��"


    "Oh shit!"


    Before the words were finished, Matthew was also tricked��there was actually a muddy puddle where wild boars like to roll around, and there was also a terrain that had just rained recently and turned into a swamp. An Feng rushed too fast and got hit. The mud next to him collapsed one after another, and Matthew who came with him was not spared either.


    The two looked at each other and laughed.


    An Feng gave up: "Okay, God told us to let that creature go, and now we still have to find a way to get out without dirtying our clothes."


    Maxiu supported the hard road on the side with the gun barrel, slowly pulled out his legs, and stepped on the harder mud.


    An Feng was the same as him, saying: "When I went to Kenya last time, the local tribal armed forces liked to add a little sand to the barrel of the AK47. According to them, this is a special magic, because that''s how white people give Only when the gun casts spells can it hit the target."


    Matthew wondered: "What kind of nonsense is this?"


    An Feng stepped on the safe area detected by Matthew, and continued: "Don''t you think that the armed forces in Africa have been playing like this for decades? A certain rebel armed forces fought fiercely with the government forces all night, and the government forces retreated the next day. According to statistics, there were two casualties, and it was still due to accidental injury from the gun explosion."


    Matthew continued to explore the way with the barrel of the gun: "But we can''t support the ground with the **** of the gun and point the gun at ourselves?"


    "That''s why I thought of African warlords." An Feng grabbed the hand that Matthew handed over and managed to get out of the quagmire. "And don''t use these two guns."

 Chapter 479： Conferment of the monarch [three more]

    Chapter 479 Conferred by the Monarch


    Made a lot of mud, and this hunt had to come to an end.


    After the nearby attendants came over after hearing the news, they were sitting on the stone and chatting. An Feng also tried the cigar that Matthew had unwrapped for him, but he was not used to smoking it, and he choked after taking a puff. Xiu frowned: "Give it up, you''re still wasting one of my cigars!"


    An Feng smiled: "I always see this in movies, and it feels like smoke."


    "I can''t communicate with you." Matthew shook his head in response to his categorization description, "Cigars require patience and an hour or so of free time to fully enjoy, and preparations need to be leisurely. You see, in our state, although the boots It''s full of mud..."


    "Okay, okay, I admit that I ruined this thing." An Feng stood up, "It''s getting late, let''s go back and come back tomorrow."


    On the way, Matthew answered a long-distance call. Although it is a remote area, the country is not big, and several signal towers on the mountain are enough to cover it completely.


    He said a few words, like an invitation or something, then put down the phone and said to An Feng: "Bazel''s eldest son, Charlie, do you still have an impression?"


    "We went to Africa together back then, what do you think?" An Feng said.


    "My fault." Matthew said with a smile, "Their family plans to drop by for a visit, so I might as well invite them to come here, how about it?"


    "No problem, as long as you don''t mind the environment here." An Feng said.


    "That''s good." Matthew picked up the phone and continued talking, and then he said: "They promised to come, probably in Cagliari tomorrow morning."


    An Feng said: "Leave a contact information, and I will arrange someone."


    ��


    There are guests coming in the morning, and the originally scheduled hunt is postponed to the afternoon.


    At ten o''clock, two SUVs drove into the Hunting Palace, and the Sinclair couple and their son and daughter got out of the car. Charlie Sinclair is about the same age as Joanna, but An Feng and Bazel are good friends. When facing Charlie, he always feels a bit like a junior.


    Charlie''s wife Josephine is Danish. An Feng met them at their wedding. He heard that she came from a famous family. When facing An Feng and Joanna, she also performed a standard lady curtsy. Although this etiquette is not mandatory, it is common among nobles and royal families.


    "My father asked me to send greetings to you two. I hope you can forgive me for delaying due to important matters." Charlie said politely.


    "Convey my regards to him as well." An Feng said.


    Charlie then introduced a son and a daughter beside him: "The boy is Carl, and the girl is Margaret."


    "Hello, sirs and madams!" The two children also greeted obediently, especially the girls, and even showed courtesy to Joanna.


    Joanna had a smile on her face: "Pretty girl, God bless you!"


    "Thank you, ma''am," she said.


    The little girl''s name is Margaret Alexandra, about five years old, with soft and flat blond hair, a baby''s fat face, round and round like Alice when she was a child. It''s just that she is quieter, not as lively as Alice was before, and she always gets to the bottom of things when she catches a problem.


    The children were introducing themselves, and Alice had to show them the trophy of the boar tusks from the day before yesterday.


    A large group of children were chattering, full of yearning for hunting in the wild. In the afternoon, they satisfied the children''s wishes and continued to go out. However, due to the large number of children, the scope of activities was not far away, and they were only concentrated around the hunting palace. For safety reasons, the guards brought long guns.


    With so many people hunting, the excitement is enough, but the technology will decline.


    Several children have very different personalities. Matthew''s youngest son, William, is more courageous and curious, and wants to try everything; Alice gets along best with him, both of whom are afraid of chaos; Fred is quieter , Talk less and observe more, but he is very gracious to help his companions.


    The children got along very well, and within a few days, the friendship developed to the point where they could share the same bed.


    ��


    After ten days of playing, the children have been exercised, their picky temper has disappeared, and they have a sense of cooperation.


    It''s a pity that I have to say goodbye after returning.


    "Goodbye!" Alice and Fred waved to their friends.


    An Feng also waved his hand towards their car and said to the child, "See you next time."


    "I know," said Alice. "What do you think, Fred?"


    "I believe it," he said.


    An Feng smiled: "Don''t worry about this, when we have free time, we can visit at home, or arrange a party during the summer vacation, this is your circle of friends."


    "Dad is very kind," Alice said, and Lafred walked back. "Come on, let''s go and see the new puppies."


    "This mentality is better." An Feng looked at their backs and smiled.


    On the way back, Joanna said to An Feng: "Have you noticed that Maggie likes staying with Fred very much?"


    "Maggie?" An Feng was puzzled.


    Joanna said, "Margaret."


    An Feng said: "I thought only Americans like to use random nicknames."


    "Seriously, did you find out?"


    "No, I feel that all children are the same. It''s fun to play together, isn''t it?"


    "You don''t understand." Joanna shook her head.


    "You don''t think about the future at such a young age, do you?" An Feng suddenly understood the meaning and laughed.


    "I didn''t think so!" she defended.


    "I understand." He smiled, "I thought some people were going to be grandmas in a hurry."


    "Bold!" She reached out and pinched An Feng.


    "Stop!" An Feng dodged, she chased after him, put her arms around his neck and jumped on her back.


    "You are the queen, do you want an image?" An Feng walked forward with her on his back.


    "I don''t want to play the same role twenty-four hours!" she said, "Now I''m your wife, take your legs and move on!"


    "I convinced you." An Feng shook his head.


    ��


    After the new year, the queen will officially confer a group of nobles.


    These lists are all familiar friends of An Feng. They received their passports, and after asking, they agreed to accept the queen''s conferment. Three people received this honor, namely Matthew. Sinclair, Robin. Deross and Roger. Blue Lane, they all showed interest.


    They were invited to the Moncalieri Palace, and each of the three brought their wives and daughters. The children also reunited again, but their wish was quickly fulfilled.


    In addition to having the honor of nobility, granting a title also has the meaning of closer cooperation.


    Accepting canonization as a nobleman also means allegiance to the Queen. Although it is not stated clearly, everyone understands the meaning of this. The An''s family is sparsely populated. Apart from the couple, they are relatives who are about to enter the society. The population gap is relatively large and cooperation is needed.


    But it is not the same as ancient times. Allegiance is given more symbolic meaning, and there is no other loss except to show the cooperative attitude of important members. Even because of these relationships, mutual trust can be further promoted. When the kingdom grows in the future, the title of nobility is definitely the glory of the upper class.


    Smart people learn to weigh, and the An family is worth getting close to.


    So the major families, especially the ones that work closely with An Feng, will elect representatives, and the three are currently the first batch.


    The time came to the morning of the canonization ceremony, and Joanna appeared in a grand dress and a crown on her head. An Feng also went into battle with a dress and medals. In order to give him more decorations on his chest, Joanna gave him many medals, such as cross knights and other rare ones.


    It is a serious matter for the monarch to confer the title of hereditary nobles. The form is simple, but the ceremony must be fully prepared. In addition to the leadership of the queen and the witness of others, the participation of clergy is also required. In the new church where Joanna was crowned, a group of personnel dedicated to serving the royal family were selected to be responsible for religious activities such as coronation, baptism, or communion, including serving as attendants for the queen''s canonized nobles.


    In the luxurious and solemn reception hall, under the attention of relatives, friends and attendants, the canonization ceremony was held.


    Joanna, dressed in fine clothes, stood on the steps, and the staff in robes behind her held long swords in their hands. An Feng stood aside, looking forward with his hands behind his back. In addition to the three nobles who were about to be canonized, relatives and friends were also present. Although the ceremony was not complicated, the scene was very solemn.


    The first person to accept the canonization was Matthew. He came to the Queen and knelt down on one knee. Joanna on the steps pulled out the long sword from the scabbard, and the tip of the sword touched her shoulder. The solemn scene was captured by the cameraman. Matthew then took an oath of allegiance to the Queen.


    After taking the oath, the queen tapped his shoulder with a sword to express his commitment, and then took back the long sword, and Matthew kissed the back of his hand to complete the conferment.


    The process is streamlined a lot, but the main form is there. After completing the conferment, Matthew will have a certificate issued by the royal family and a bronze cross of the Kingdom of Sardinia. The certificate has detailed titles and titles, and the information is also preserved on the Internet and in paper archives.


    Matthew was named Marquis, the title is: Matthew. August Sinclair, Marquis Sinclair of Samus.


    After receiving the certificate and badge, Matthew smiled and nodded to the audience.


    Then the second person came to power. Robin Dross was originally the man behind the Rand investment bank. Since the investment bank went bankrupt and the U.S. economy suffered setbacks, his focus has shifted to Europe. In addition, he has German ancestry and was canonized as a nobleman after naturalization. , can be regarded as having a serious identity.


    The third one is Roger. He is purely boring, but he has a wide circle of contacts and influence. He must pay close attention to the training of the eldest son and take on the title.


    Strictly speaking, the three of them are the first batch of official nobles in the kingdom. If they were placed in ancient times, with their wealth and influence, they could indeed build castles, gather people, and claim dozens of miles of land as their own territory. Confronting the court at a critical moment...


    But the modern aristocracy, the territory is out of the question.


    After conferring the titles on the three nobles, Joanna put the sword back into its scabbard, and the staff took it with respectful hands and put it back in its original place, the whole process ended.


    After the end, you can congratulate each other and have a celebration at night... Joanna has also mastered the experience of awarding the Medal of Honor, and she will be more handy when she publicly awards the Medal of Honor next time.

 Chapter 480： Emerging

    Chapter 480 First Appearance


    After finishing the batch of canonizations, the medals will be awarded three days later.


    Compared to the noble titles that are difficult for ordinary people to access, the Medal of Honor is open to all citizens and permanent residents or foreigners who have made significant contributions. The Cross is the most common at present, and will be awarded the title of "Jazz" after being awarded, and can be used on formal occasions and letters.


    The royal family did not make the medals too complicated. Generally, there are crosses and high-quality medals for everyone, and there are also those for noble royal families, such as Anfeng��s cross knights, which are usually awarded by princes or crown princes, etc. A total of seven people received the medal this time.


    The two politicians and five citizens all played an active role in promoting the nation-building.


    The awarding ceremony is more public, and there are photos on the scene.


    This reveals the message that no matter who they are, as long as they make contributions in their respective fields and are recognized by the majority, they will have the opportunity to be honored by the Queen. Such people are often more prestigious among the people. On the other hand, it is also an exemplary role of the royal family.


    ��


    In late January, the national financial report will be delivered.


    Last year''s national financial report has not been officially released, but the Minister of Finance has sent the report to the Queen, asking her to have a look. As predicted by the outside world, the year before last was just infrastructure construction, and a large number of enterprises only started to operate in the third and fourth quarters. Last year, we made efforts in four quarters.


    The presence of so many large multinational companies has not only brought about a labor shortage, but also contributed a GDP of 180 billion U.S. dollars. Based on the current resident population of more than 1.7 million people in Sardinia, the per capita GDP has reached 105,000 U.S. dollars��anything that fails to meet the standard is It is dragging the country''s hind legs!


    In fact, not many people can reach this level. Most of the money is on large companies, and their corporate income tax, business tax, etc., are converted into government revenue. That''s about three times more than last year, at $32.4 billion. It is then cashed out by the government as social benefits.


    We all know that GDP per capita is the standard by which developed countries are measured��but not the only one. The level of social development is also an important criterion. For example, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have high per capita GDP, but their illiteracy rate is also high, and their education level is not up to standard, so they are not considered developed countries.


    And Sardinia fully meets the standards. It was formerly a large region of a developed country, and it is of high quality in terms of education, social welfare, and transportation environment. After the government has money, it promotes the development of education and implements welfare benefits from compulsory education to universities.


    The per capita is more than 100,000 US dollars, and Sardinia, which is not a micro-country, became popular after the financial report was released. It is definitely one of the top three countries in terms of per capita wealth among normal countries. The outside world predicts its economy, and its GDP may reach 500 billion in the next five years.


    The per capita is not up to the standard, but the government has money and social welfare is also strong. Don''t you see that Switzerland once wanted to implement a measure of 2,000 a month without work? In the same way, in addition to family consumption, it doesn''t cost much to go to school and see a doctor-there are even subsidies for low-standard families.


    Immigrated to Sardinia and began to be taken seriously.


    But it is a pity that they missed the most lenient conditions in the previous year. Now the immigration policy with strict regulations is implemented. First, a work visa must be obtained. After several years of observation, green cards are selectively issued. After five years, Examination is carried out, and the naturalization is finally determined.


    Now the most issued is the work visa. As long as there is no criminal record and excellent personal credit, the era of happiness will begin after obtaining the green card. The benefits of permanent residents and citizens are similar, and the government��s policies to benefit the people will be used for them, so immigration is still popular. .


    However, there are also members of parliament who have opinions on this strict policy. They think that now is a good opportunity for development, and it should be relaxed, and then stricter after the introduction of sufficient population. However, most people, including the royal family, do not agree with this idea-they can relax work visas, but they will not relax green cards.


    Work visas are not all for high-end foreign companies. Some jobs that focus on technology, such as machinery and construction, also have more opportunities. It has formed a complementary industry, because everyone is going to be the BOSS, who will be the employees who support the grassroots?


    It is important to pay attention to the balance of the social structure, so the Queen rewarded the Prime Minister and awarded him a medal.


    ��


    Apart from the economy and immigration, other things are going well.


    The five large-scale seawater desalination plants of the National Water Conservancy Corporation have all been put into operation one after another. Because the land area is suitable and the laying of water supply pipes is very easy, "shortage of water" is already a past tense, and it belongs to people''s memories of their childhood. The island is rich in water resources.


    National Power Corporation, a large nuclear reactor under construction, Unit 1 will start up in February, and the government has invested one billion euros in the construction of superconducting lines, which has also been completed. Superconducting lines are the main part of the power grid, but because of the high cost, the lines used by residents are still copper cores.


    But the loss of the main line is minimized, and the others can be ignored. The No. 1 reactor will be able to provide more than 2.5 million kilowatt-hours of power generation, which is enough for the electricity consumption of residents and industrial production across the country. Perhaps the industry has to save a little bit, there are too many foreign companies in this area...


    After the second and third group of reactors are put into operation, according to the contract currently being negotiated, half of the power generation will be transmitted to Italy through submarine cables, which will lower the electricity price level in Italy, but also maintain the profitability of the national power company. Degree.


    Those who engage in monopolizing energy resources still make a lot of money.


    National Agricultural Science and Technology Corporation is currently testing a new generation of high-tech bio-agricultural fertilizers. The samples have been submitted to the EU authority for inspection, and they are applying for patents on the non-confidential but essential ingredients in the fertilizer. News reports that Mosaic''s monopoly is under threat.


    Finally, education construction. The primary school invested by Anfeng is being expanded into a secondary school. In addition, the Royal Academy of Cagliari is also under construction. If it goes well, it will be able to officially start school in September this year, absorbing students from local and neighboring countries, and opening several major departments.


    The university is not well-known, but it will soon gain attention, because the Royal Academy has gathered a group of world-leading field experts, from medicine, biology to materials, high-tech and other fields, they are all well-known Experts from all over the world come to join us.


    According to the outside world, the standing committee members of the research institute are very mysterious, like Ms. M and Mr. G. It just so happens that this is also the reason why a large number of experts are attracted, because only they know and have contact with them, and they are all in the field. Top experts, encyclopedia of knowledge.


    The country has already begun to emerge. According to the trend, in a few years, it will definitely be the result of a hundred flowers blooming. All the characteristics of an influential country have been concentrated one by one. If this does not improve the prestige... the rest of the world should hang itself.


    ��


    At the end of January, the royal family is on vacation.


    In fact, it is to return to China to visit relatives and let the children celebrate the traditional New Year. And about class reunions.


    Looking back by chance, this year is already the twentieth year since An Feng left school. Life is so embarrassing. At that time, a group of young people are now developing independently, starting their own families, and some of them even gave birth early. things are troubling...


    Looking back, life is an unpredictable thing.


    In some of the pre-heated class reunions in S City, many people felt deeply��the most obvious source was An Feng. He is the most terrifying potential stock, but unfortunately, except for a few buddies, not many people were optimistic about him. The buddies did not expect that he would stand on the top of the world.


    Joanna is listening to what her classmates said about An Feng''s past.


    "When it comes to talking about genius, we really misjudged him. The only one who thought he was amazing back then was... sorry, ma''am, that''s a good way to describe it." An Feng''s classmate Wu Jun put on a posture and described it vividly. Surrounded by a group of men and women listening to the opera.


    "Pay attention to international influence, Wu Jun!"


    "What about the rules of speech? Don''t be ashamed to go abroad!"


    The surrounding crowd booed, and Wu Jun waved his hand: "Go, go, don''t you see me talking to Her Majesty the Queen? What are you talking about, line up beside me!"


    Joanna smiled: "I can understand the meaning, please continue."


    Wu Jun continued: "When I was in school, I didn''t belittle your husband. He was really ordinary. Well, apart from his size and appearance, the only thing that made men think he was amazing was that he had a C1 The certificate, and the driving skills are really not covered."


    Others also nodded. There were not many people who had a driver''s license in those days. Most of them were about to graduate or did not apply for the exam after graduation. An Feng was already able to drive a car. If it wasn''t for the driver''s license restriction, he could handle a truck. . It is also the only one that can predict the future from the past.


    "Is there anything else?" Joanna asked very interested.


    In the rooftop box of the restaurant where the party was held, everyone gathered around Joanna, telling her all kinds of things that were completely different from An Feng''s past and the future, which were eye-catching. An Feng was invited to sit next to him, and he was not allowed to intervene to defend himself. There was still laughter from time to time, and he could only helplessly.


    Wu Chao came to sit next to him with a stack of fruit, An Feng stretched out his hand to grab it: "You are still interesting enough."


    "We are in-laws!" Wu Chao said with a smile.


    An Feng was speechless for a while.


    "Isn''t your child about the same age as my child? Naturally, you have to seize the opportunity. Don''t tell me that you say that the two children see each other, and you still obstruct it?"


    "Okay, okay." An Feng cannibalized with a short mouth.


    "Do you know how many people in China want to call you father-in-law or in-laws?"


    "I really don''t want to know." An Feng shook his head, "I just want my children to grow up in a low-key manner, so that they are less likely to be followed by paparazzi in the future."


    "I''m afraid not, this is the path you chose." Wu Chao said.


    "Even if I don''t vote, the result will be the same." An Feng said that even if he doesn''t buy the country, his status as the savior will keep him from keeping a low profile forever.


    "It''s the same." Wu Chao said, "There are gains and losses, but it is still the envy of countless people. Even you can maintain this figure at your age, I am jealous."


    An Feng looked at Wu Chao''s belly, and smiled: "It''s time to do more aerobic exercise. I''m only in my forties, so what will happen in the future?"


    "It doesn''t matter, my daughter-in-law said this is a blessing." Wu Chao said.


    "So you have been a wonderful couple since college." An Feng said.


    Wu Chao smiled and looked towards the crowd: "Madam is really popular, why don''t you bring the princess and prince too?"


    An Feng said: "Bringing is even more chaotic. You have said it all. So many people want to marry me and recognize their father-in-law. Bring them. What if they destroy their families? We can only let them stay at home with their grandparents. Playing with other kids. Don''t care about the uncles and aunts."


    Wu Chao said: "Uncle and aunt? Be careful!"


    An Feng smiled and asked, "Are you still a brother or sister?"

    "So you''re hiding here secretly, waiting for an opportunity to show off your youth!" Xiang Yang, who heard their conversation, came over and sat down, looking at An Feng. "But to be honest, His Royal Highness is as energetic as a boy in his twenties, which is not comparable to us ordinary people."


    "Okay, I surrender and don''t talk to you!" An Feng raised his hands.


    "We really want to chat with you a few more words, and it''s also a kind of talking point in the future, isn''t it?" Wang Le also came to sit down.


    "Come on!" An Feng kicked him, "Forget about others, we two will throw up when we meet, don''t make trouble!"


    "There is a story!" More students came over.


    "Damn!" An Feng was speechless.


    There are a lot of people participating in the class meeting, and everyone hasn''t seen each other for many years. The routine is also indispensable for the men to eat and drink, and the women to talk about gossip and household chores. When people reach middle age, the enthusiasm and hard work of youth are diluted by family and life. Now everyone is pursuing stability.


    If it was back then, it would be necessary to talk about their respective developments, but now it is more about the education of children, or remembering the classmates lost in the disaster... The damage caused by the catastrophe has stopped, but the scars may take a long time It takes a long time to heal.


    ��


    After returning to Sardinia, the extraordinary but low-key life continued. Unlike his classmates and friends who tended to be dull, his life still has many expectations and challenges. The era of passion has passed, but the stamina has not faded. At the age of 43 For him, it is just the category of young people.


    Not to mention the biotechnology he is developing, the changes brought about by bio-drinks are obvious. The specific extension of life span is not visible for the time being, but the general rejuvenation is already a trend. At the age of nearly forty, Joanna''s appearance has not changed much compared to six or seven years ago.


    An Feng also began to focus on the research and development of biotechnology, and carried out advanced exploration of artificial intelligence. The research institute under him is responsible for some simple - but also challenging tasks. It will determine the trend of biotechnology in the future, and consolidate Beta''s giant status.


    It is said that some countries have already mastered the synthesis of bio-drink medicines. An Feng''s original secrecy was not absolute, but if he wants to make it public for commercial use, patents are an insurmountable column, and the protection period is still 20 years. And Beida''s future strategy has expanded to fifty years later.


    There will be competition in the future, but it is certain that the status of the giants will not be shaken.


    ��


    In February, the foundation construction of Olbia��s Hanging Garden was completed, and an ancient Greek-style commercial center was to be built on it according to the original steps. Angle Industries is also testing the newly manufactured room-temperature superconductor to verify its stability, and then mass-produce it after passing it.


    The newspapers have continued to pay attention, and the outside world has begun to realize that the construction of the hanging garden in Sardinia is not a joke, they are really preparing for implementation. From the suspicion and sarcasm at the beginning, to the formal announcement of cooperation between Ans Industries and Superconductor, people put away their contempt.


    The combination of the two giants often represents a miracle.


    In the list of participating in this technological miracle, the Royal Academy of Sciences is indispensable. The tripartite cooperation also made people pay attention to this institution. After searching the Internet and checking the information, I found a large number of world-renowned experts and professors. Scholars who have won many honors have Honorary title.


    What''s even more surprising is that this group of incompatible pinnacle scholars actually live under the same roof! And the identity is just an ordinary member or team leader, not a supervisor or a higher position. It is worthy of people''s brains, what is the charm that makes them coexist peacefully?


    I am afraid that this answer can only be understood by people who come into contact with the Royal Academy.


    ��


    Located in Assemini on the outskirts of Cagliari, there are several low-rise buildings on a plot of land. The gate at the entrance is marked with "Royal Academy of Sardinia". The outside looks calm, but the inside Also like a university campus, there are always flowers, trees and green spaces.


    A group of experts concentrated in a certain house. The holographic projection in front of them showed the narration of an old scholar, and the occasional questioning session proved that this was not a recorded video, but an ongoing communication. The experts in the audience listened with great attention.


    If there are people from the relevant industry present, you will find that some guys who have differences in the academic world can sit down calmly now, including Keith, who won the Dynamite Award, and guys who once questioned his academics, but they are also talking in low voices. The contradictions of yesteryear cannot be seen.


    This scene is magical.


    Although artificial intelligence and robots can handle most of the work, there are differences in learning and difficulty. As a result, high-level content intelligence is responsible, while low-level intelligence is absent��artificial intelligence will not waste energy on this aspect, and these projects will stay. for human development.


    This is a good start, indicating that the scientific level of Sardinia will far exceed the outside world.


    ��


    Children have a spring break in March. Originally, Italy did not have it, but after the establishment of the country, unnecessary holidays were canceled... Italy is a typical holiday with many branches and scattered branches. Outsiders can''t figure out the random holidays. After the reform of the new government, they will be put together in a centralized manner, and will no longer be fragmented.


    So spring break is here.


    Their family went to the United States for vacation and lived in sunny Florida for a few days. At the same time, it is also to satisfy the children''s wishes - their circle of friends. This age is mainly the role of playmates, but adults can relax, and children also have places to go, and the two ends are balanced.


    Charlie Sinclair is also in Florida, his children and Roger''s children are together, lively, their laughter is everywhere in the hotel.


    When Roger talked about movies, he kept smiling. The recent Oscar awards ceremony just ended. There is no doubt that the highest-grossing movie in history has also won the reputation of everyone, winning two awards for Best Picture and Best Actress Grand prizes can be described as fame and fortune.


    "If you can come to the ceremony, it will be completely perfect." Roger finally said, but it is basically impossible. Although Joanna is often in the news, she has almost no intersection with the entertainment industry. At most, it is a compliment to the film art, so don''t even think about walking on the red carpet.


    "Congratulations to the screenwriter and Miss Pecha for me." An Feng said.


    "I will. Now Petra is considering taking over Terry''s second film. Although it can''t be compared with the previous one, but with her popularity, the box office is somewhat guaranteed." Roger said, "Oh By the way, our company intends to borrow some money from the bank, open a few plays, and secure a seat, what''s your opinion?"


    The company they partnered with has also become a phoenix. Today''s Big Eight film companies may have to change their name to Nine Bigs. Angel Films can show the stage in terms of funds and connections. Although it has not been established for a long time, it does not hinder its competitiveness in the market.


    "This is a good start." An Feng nodded, "When I have time, I will also ask people to make a few interesting films. The robot and artificial intelligence topics that were popular a few years ago are very good. I guess the next sci-fi theme The hot spots are space exploration and interstellar colonization."


    "It seems we are on the same page." Roger raised his glass.


    ��


    After a few people had played enough outdoors, they returned to the resort hotel and saw an interesting scene.


    Maybe they stayed outside for too long, the little ghosts were bored and hungry, and they counted together, called the waiter, found a table, and ordered food... because this place is reserved, the waiter knows that this is for the royal family and nobles Children, also show a 12-point professional attitude.


    Then, Alice, who is very good at making decisions, brought Fred, Edward, Jessica, and Carl and Margaret together to learn from them. Ten-year-old Edward even specially asked the waiter to bring a goblet , Tie the napkin around the neckline, and ask the waiter to pour him...juice.


    Edward stared at the wine glass, saw that it was almost done, and snapped his fingers: "OK!" Then he picked up a few money from the pile of money on the table, and handed it to the waiter.


    "Thank you, sir." The waiter accepted it with a smile, but the tip was second. What''s interesting is that the children are all standard gentlemen and ladies.


    "Waiter." Alice raised her hand, and the waiter passed. She said: "This gentleman needs a filling and delicious deli food, what would you recommend?"


    "This gentleman" is the younger brother Fred next to her.


    The waiter knew the girl''s background: "We have freshly fried steak, the meat is delicious and the portion is sufficient. Do you want it, Your Highness?"


    "Do you like it?" Alice imitated her mother''s appearance and looked at Fred in a questioning manner.


    "Yes...I think." Fred tried to sit up straight, because the table was a bit high, and he was not tall enough for a six-year-old, and he didn''t have time to look at people when he spoke.


    "Just give me a half-ready one." Alice also picked up the change that everyone made up on the table and handed it to the waiter.


    "Thank you, Your Royal Highness!" The waiter was happy in his heart. This group of children gave a tip for every service they ordered, and they looked like little local tyrants.


    With the child taking the lead, Karl is also imitating the example, and his speech is simple, but his parents are from extraordinary backgrounds and often go to high-end places, so he can speak standard sentences at his fingertips. Especially Edward, also said that he can taste red wine, but unfortunately the hotel does not provide it to minors.


    After being rejected, Edward also said: "I mean it."


    "Trust you once." Alice said.


    Margaret lowered her head and yawned. Fred beside her raised his head, thought for a while, grabbed the pocket square in the left breast pocket of his small suit, and handed it to her: "Use it."


    Margaret looked at him, as if a pocket square wasn''t the same as a handkerchief...but Fred continued, "Never mind, my dad said it''s what a gentleman should do."


    "Then..." Margaret took the pocket square, "Thank you."


    Fred continued to bow his head and do what he had to do...eat.


    When they came back, they happened to see this scene outside the window of the restaurant. They did not disturb immediately, but observed quietly first, and saw the children sitting around the dining table, which was full of food, with change bills next to it, and Edward still had a look on his face. Seriously clink wine glasses with Alice.


    "For this moment!" Edward said, looking at everyone, "Gentlemen and ladies?"


    They reacted and raised the cups on the table one after another: "For this moment!"


    The parents outside looked at each other and laughed.

 Chapter 482： Future plan

    Chapter 482 Future Plans


    The exchanges between the two heads of state, many things will be interpreted, and the cooperation intention of the two countries will be analyzed. The current Chinese visit to Sardinia has been taken seriously by European powers. They are judging this country with potential, and they may maintain an attitude towards it in the future.


    There are both pros and cons, and all parties recommend various possibilities, but the results are not very optimistic��Europe is not absolutely attractive to Sardinia. In other words, they do not necessarily depend on Europe to survive. The core competitiveness of this country is too strong, and the dominance rests with them.


    In the worst case, even if Europe is unwilling to see them deal with China and their relations with China become weaker, it will not do much harm to Sardinia. Their economy and trade are global, without Europe, but Asia, There are so many Americas, and it is Europe that can''t stand it.


    What''s more, Europe will not be of one mind.


    At least the current Italy does not. The trade between the two places is very frequent. Sardinia exports high technology, and Italy is responsible for undertaking it. The two places have further nuclear power supply plans. France, which is frightened by the virus, cannot get rid of bio-drinks.


    If this line is broken, the people will overthrow the government.


    The results of the analysis are not optimistic. What Sardinia should do, the initiative lies with them. If the relationship goes bad, they will not suffer the most. The United States, which can make the most decisions, has a cold now and has no time to care about it. What''s more, they were friendly partners a while ago.


    Some powerful countries in Europe are self-centered. They think that Sardinia must be something. It is a great honor to cooperate with Europe. They have no other choice but them. It''s a pity that things backfired, and Sardinia ran wherever there was milk. Powerful countries lose face.


    On the other hand, the government of Sardinia carried forward An Feng''s style of teasing people''s appetites, and through the influence of newspapers and magazines, they magnified some fragments of words, which were a fog to the outside world. Before they take the initiative, they just look at the attitudes of the powerful countries and take the initiative to speak.


    Now is the time to be more able to sit still than the two sides... Soon, the first to put down face is France, which has always been "non-mainstream". The mentality of this country is a bit complicated. They have a serious sense of pride, thinking that they are the number one in Europe, and they have the ambition of a superpower in their bones, which also leads to crazy behavior. France and the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, and China have all challenged each other, but they are also members of NATO.


    Some experts regard this kind of analysis as "love present". Some of their actions may not be considered far away, but they are just to reflect their own existence, such as the US war against Iraq. Although no one needs them.


    Shortly after the Chinese visit, the French President paid a friendly visit to Sardinia.


    The purpose is very straightforward: cooperation and bottom line.


    In the meeting between the President and the Queen, he talked about several issues of business cooperation, and before joining the European Union, the trade between the two countries will take more convenient measures. Generally speaking, in countries that have established diplomatic relations, trade transactions require a lot of inspections, which is very wasteful in today''s world where time is money.


    France proposes convenient management methods for specific trades. For example, they can give priority to the export of bio-beverages and the customs inspection will be faster. Taxes and fees can be negotiated between the two places, etc. The preferential policies in the preliminary intention are still very attractive.


    Subsequently, the French side also directly talked about the issue of clean nuclear energy, and frankly talked about the era of electric vehicles, various power-consuming fields, and the demand for electricity in various countries. Even France, which has developed nuclear energy technology, can''t stand it, and it can''t compare with Sardinia, which uses nuclear fusion.


    France''s visit aroused European attention because it directly mentioned the super grid.


    This plan, which was originally secretive, picked up and put down repeatedly, and could not agree on a share, is now fluently stated by the French side, from clean nuclear fusion to superconducting cables all over Europe-the investment in cables alone is huge. It is possible to reach 50 billion euros.


    Sardinia, which has received much attention, also showed a very positive attitude.


    Europe suddenly realized that it was a serious mistake to think in the way of its own people. This country is a typical all-rounder, and it runs wherever it makes money. They may care less about issues of values ??and national pride and more about the money in their pockets.


    ��


    The success of France''s overseas visits has allowed countries such as Britain and Germany to adjust their strategies.


    Based on their way of thinking, they can��t get along with Sardinia, but after understanding Sardinia��s behavior, the next thing is very easy��talk less about politics and more about business. Safang does not interfere in the muddy waters of the world, but it also does not want anyone to block their way of making money.


    This is actually a philosophy of the Texas consortium.


    Things became easier later on. China, Russia, and Sardinia enjoyed exchanges, and European countries were unwilling to show weakness and wanted to get benefits... Foreign visits became more frequent, but the queen asked for leave and asked the prime minister to deal with it. Things were on track and she didn''t need to care anymore.


    During the summer vacation, the family vacationed in San Elmo.


    The Giovanna Palace is located in this quiet town, covering an area of ??80 acres, not too big or too small��compared to other houses, it is hundreds of times larger. The designer gave full play to his imagination, making it a bit postmodern, but built in a retro building, it is actually "new inside and old outside".


    The definition of construction is private use. Even the original design of the Santa Barbara mansion for entertaining guests has been removed. Only a spacious banquet hall and a concert hall that can also be used as a dance hall are kept. The other decorations are in a warm style. Only eight meters high.


    It has fifty halls of various kinds, and twenty-two bedrooms. Even the whole family is enough to use. In addition to the small garden outside, there is also a retro swimming pool by the sea, which is divided into several areas according to size and function, and then there is a private beach next to it, and there is a marina next to it.


    The characteristics of a private vacation are fully revealed. The only building worthy of the title of "palace" is probably a building with a somewhat grand appearance. According to his original idea, An Feng called it a "house", but he did not expect to be called "Giovanna''s Palace" by local residents later, and it was unexpectedly continued.


    Lush trees are planted around the house, and the quiet cobblestone path is also decorated with various plants and flowers. There are two swings on the lawn, and children and adults can play on them to their heart''s content...Compared to the noble days of the palace, here More life breath.


    Now An Feng is very comfortable, bare-chested, leading the cool Joanna, stepping barefoot on the soft sand. The 300-meter-long beach has been carefully cleaned, and all the oversized stones are picked up. I also specially purchased the sand shipped from the Caribbean Sea, which is as fine as flour.


    Joanna wears a pair of sunglasses and walks on his lead. The sea water washed up on the beach, washing her ankles from time to time, and she strode happily, occasionally kicking the rolling waves. An Feng laughed when he saw it: "Isn''t it fun to play like this, Your Majesty the Queen?"


    "No one sees, no one cares," she said.


    "what about me?"


    "You don''t count." She shook her head, "Didn''t I show you everything about me a long time ago?"


    "Yes, so I know what you like." An Feng led her to continue walking.


    "Hey." She paused.


    An Feng looked back at her: "What?"


    "I''m tired, sit me down," she said.


    "Okay, girl." He opened his hands, and Joanna faced him, putting her arms around her neck, while An Feng put his arms around her waist: "It''s not easy."


    "Am I heavy?" She said sensitively, "I''ve been lacking in exercise recently. If I can''t maintain it, the fat will grow."


    "I think it''s just right." An Feng found a place to sit down, "I mean, I like the current one too, look at your soft waist and hips, how wonderful."


    "Lie." She didn''t believe it.


    "I really like it." An Feng said, "It makes me feel soft without bones."


    "Don''t say it!" She pressed her finger on his lips, "Save it in my ear at night."


    "haha, okay."


    "Why are you laughing?" she asked.


    An Feng said: "I was comparing when we were young. You were not so bold at that time. Even if we were married, you would rarely be like this."


    She said: "It''s all taught by your bad ideas."


    "But it''s also our fun, isn''t it?" An Feng smiled, "At least we won''t feel bored this way."


    "What about now?" she asked, "And one day I will grow old, my skin will become wrinkled, my body will develop spots, and my face will decline. What will happen to you then?"


    "Someone said the seven-year itch." An Feng said, "We have all entered the third seven years, what do you think? Love is something that will fade with time sooner or later, but what keeps it alive is another One��it''s called family affection. It''s transformed from love and lasts longer."


    Her forehead was pressed against his: "Standard answer."


    "I''m serious, it''s not that romantic to say it, but just as we are used to having our parents and relatives, I am also used to having you by my side."


    "Still said it''s not romantic." She laughed, "You say that to a young girl, so I promise you won''t let it go."


    "But I''m only talking to you, aren''t I?" He smiled.


    "I love you," she said.


    "Me too." He kissed her lips.


    ��


    At this moment, there is no one to disturb them. The two on the beach are very leisurely, talking endlessly, and enjoying this separate space more, they can lean on each other as intimately as young people. Or talk about some things in the future, many aspects of this country are already on the right track.


    "I plan to build a super grid. This is a long-term profitable project. It is set up in Sardinia and can also promote local taxation. When the country is rich, other plans can be launched, such as the future navy, mechanization and An intelligent navy would be wonderful."


    "However, as far as the current trend is concerned, spaceflight is the mainstream in the future. Americans are going to land on Mars, so I don''t pursue that far. Aerospace planes can go to the moon, build robot bases on it, dig some minerals, or realize spacecraft with artificial gravity. ,Not bad��"


    "You''re thinking too far," she said.


    "There must be some pursuit, right?"


    Economic construction, cultural construction, military defense...everything An Feng can think of is in full swing. Although it will take a long time to achieve results, they have the patience to wait and slowly enjoy the process of harvesting. This may also be the last feat in life.

 Chapter 483： Many years later [three more]

    Chapter 483 Many years later


    Eight years later.


    A C&W brand fashion exhibition held in S City in May was occupied by the news media three hours in advance. . It is true that the charm of the brand is a little bit, but it also has the influence of guests.


    A silent Mercedes-Benz S500 stopped at the entrance of the show. When a group of white-skinned foreigners came out of the bodyguard car behind, all the camera lenses were aimed at the back row of the Mercedes-Benz. An Feng shook his head: "Look at what you''re doing."


    Alice beside said: "I''m sorry, but it''s not all my fault."


    "I think you can listen to your mother''s advice and apologize for ignoring the second half of the sentence." An Feng said before getting out of the car, "Also, don''t mess around with this kind of oolong scandal in the future."


    "Yes, sir," she said in a different tone.


    An Feng shook his head, put on his sunglasses and opened the car door. The bodyguard on the side immediately helped him pull the door to the maximum. He got down and buttoned his suit, but he was very impatient when facing the camera lens. He didn''t like being exposed, as did his whole family, but there was nothing he could do if he was famous.


    Fortunately, the media also knew that in front of them were politically influential figures, and they did not easily cross the bottom line. However, His Royal Highness, who was once known as the most stylish in a suit, was still not inferior to young people in his figure over fifty, which also made the camera lens The static distance is truly recorded.


    An Feng came to the other side of the back seat with a serious face, and Alice, who was wearing a dress inlaid with rhinestones, got out of the car, hugged her father''s arm naturally, and smiled at the camera, causing countless flashes of spotlights. An Feng frowned and walked forward, without any intention of stopping.


    "I''m so sorry." She whispered in An Feng''s ear, coquettishly: "Daddy."


    "Okay." An Feng couldn''t stand this the most, just like her mother. He added: "Go back and do the math."


    A smile appeared on her face: "Pass."


    In fact, it is also a common trouble for boys and girls. Alice did not restrain her behavior in front of the public. She made an eye-catching move at a girlfriends party, and was recorded by the paparazzi as she confessed that the boy she liked was seduced by a little bitch. Very depressing and sad thing.


    For ordinary people or celebrities, it��s no big deal, but Princess Alice has always been the object that European and American media are willing to talk about. Not only her prominent background, but also her cheerful and friendly personality are also loved by the public. So these girls'' thoughts are very eye-catching.


    There are not many negative comments. Who doesn''t have youth when they are young? Alice is only a nineteen-year-old girl. It''s normal to have setbacks in her first love. The public is very tolerant, and some even comfort her spontaneously online. This time, she made her first public appearance a week after the incident.


    That''s why there are so many reporters at the press conference, some of them come for big brands, and some of them are waiting for Alice. When they walked through the red carpet, His Excellency the Duke still had no intention of staying, and Alice just smiled and nodded towards the media.


    "I hate this group of guys." An Feng sat down in the front row, "Flies are everywhere, how nice it is to have time to spend energy on meaningful things."


    "The birth of the industry, there must be a reason for its existence, Daddy." She said.


    "Well, your father is just a outdated, stubborn old guy." An Feng said in Italian. He didn''t speak English because he didn''t want anyone to understand him.


    "You''re not." Alice leaned her head on his shoulder, "Otherwise you wouldn''t be following the trend, would you?"


    "I''m just here for you, Auntie Coco." An Feng was very displeased with the weirdly dressed celebrities around him. The changes of the times made him unacceptable. If exposure and messy outfits are a trend��sorry, this is not the same as when he was young What''s the difference between punk and punk?


    "My Aunt Coco." Alice smiled.


    "Don''t look at me like that." An Feng said, "If I say that she and I are just friends, you will definitely keep laughing."


    "I''ll keep it a secret from you," she said.


    "What?" An Feng''s voice was louder, and the person next to him turned his head.


    Alice came over: "She admires you, doesn''t she? I won''t say anything, I know you are nothing, but it doesn''t prevent her from being your admirer."


    An Feng''s face darkened: "When you go back the day after tomorrow, think about how to explain to your mother. I don''t have time to help you block this shit."


    "Dad, I was wrong." She shook his arm, "I won''t say anymore, I just like Aunt Coco!"


    Too lively and imaginative... not good. An Feng is familiar with Alice''s character, only her mother can make her be obedient and say that one is one. For someone else... Father was often defeated by the offensive of coquettishness. Don''t look at him now with a straight face, surrendering in less than five minutes.


    An Feng accompanied Alice to watch the whole show. Quintessential Moon is usually not a period for mainstream fashion weeks, but for designer Wang Keke, she will not be here for mainstream fashion weeks either. Going directly to Paris and New York, in terms of trend influence, City S is not enough.


    After the show, the two were naturally able to go backstage. The creative director of the brand was talking with Wang Keke. Seeing them coming, Wang Keke stopped talking and stepped forward with a smile: "Welcome! And my dear Princess Alice, long time no see."


    "We only met in the New Year, and you are like this." Alice frowned.


    "One day is like three autumns." Wang Keke said with a smile.


    "I love you the most." Alice said, stepping forward to hug and kiss her.


    Alice let go of her: "And my father''s."


    An Feng was completely helpless towards the bear child, and hugged Wang Keke symbolically, saying, "Sorry, you can ignore her occasional secondary school words."


    Wang Keke laughed.


    "What do you mean?" Alice was curious.


    An Feng said: "It means that you will never grow up, so you should control your mouth."


    Alice said bluntly: "But I have freedom of speech."


    Wang Keke smiled: "Have you had enough fun, Alice? I haven''t seen you for a while, and you actually have a boyfriend. It''s really eye-opening."


    "I don''t want to talk about this yet." Alice lowered her head and twitched.


    "It''s just a one-sided favor." An Feng emphasized, "Whether the young man can do it or not, you have to pass my test."


    "You are dictatorial!" she said.


    "I''m a dictator, and if he doesn''t qualify, you don''t want to threaten me with some runaway drama. Sorry, I''ll rocket those weirdo hippies to the moon and let them mine with robots all day long, good Enjoy the thrill of going to the moon for free."


    Alice cried: "You can''t tell the truth, can you?"


    "Of course." An Feng nodded.


    She said not to be outdone, "Then I''ll be a single princess for the rest of my life. I''m so anxious that I will let my mother pull your ears."


    An Feng was about to say something, but Wang Keke said: "Father and daughter, please understand each other. Love is free, and fathers don''t care too much. This kind of feeling is uncomfortable. And you, Alice, although you are not the crown prince, you Words and deeds also affect the royal family, are you willing to embarrass everyone?"


    "The bad dad started it first." She said aggrievedly, "Aunt Coco, I''ll go to your house to sleep tonight."


    "As long as you want, I am very happy." Wang Keke hugged her, "I really like you little girl."


    "I like you too." She leaned on her.


    An Feng rubbed his forehead, sometimes two women are in the same drama... After staying in the background for a while, they agreed to eat Cantonese cuisine together. When he came out, Wang Keke answered the phone, and everyone went to the door together. There was a tall guy holding a bouquet of flowers, smiling at Wang Keke who was coming.


    "Oh!" Alice was surprised, "It''s so romantic."


    Wang Keke stepped forward to take the bouquet, turned around and introduced: "Mike, Canadian Chinese, my boyfriend."


    "Wow!" Alice continued to be surprised.


    It was An Feng who looked at the other party and stretched out his hand: "Hello."


    "Nice to meet you, Your Highness." Mike said somewhat cautiously, "And Your Highness the Princess."


    "You can''t get extra points if you are nervous." Alice laughed.


    The other party was a little embarrassed, An Feng looked at Wang Keke, and she said, "It''s time for me to welcome a new life, isn''t it?"


    "Congratulations." An Feng said, "Does your cousin know?"


    "Secret love affair." She smiled.


    "Okay, maybe I should inform him that he doesn''t need to help you find a boyfriend." An Feng nodded, "Mike, I hope you can take good care of her."


    "I will definitely." Mike said, An Feng thought he was young because of his age, but in fact he should be over thirty years old.


    After greeting each other a few words, each boarded the car and went to the agreed restaurant.


    In the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz, Alice said, "Dad, do you feel that your charm has diminished?"


    "Why do you care about these?" An Feng asked.


    "I''m just surprised that Aunt Coco didn''t look for someone like you." She said.


    "She is not young anymore, isn''t it good to come out of the failed relationship?" An Feng said, "May God bless this girl."


    "Bless her." Alice said too.


    To say that in An Feng''s mind, Wang Keke''s main impression is rebelliousness and young age. Because of their close relationship, both husband and wife regard her as a younger sister who needs to be cared for. Joanna even awarded her the Medal of Honor and daughter The title of Baron, I like her very much.


    So there are all kinds of brain supplements from Alice, but it��s true that Wang Keke really worships An Feng��many people in the world worship them, especially those in this age group. They have experienced a terrifying doomsday virus, which is still fresh in their memory, but he is a hero all over the world, and his image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of countless people. He is a legend of the times, an unforgettable legend, and it still continues today.


    Dinner has a different meaning.


    As an elder, An Feng wants to see if Mike is worthy. Alice also said: "If the behavior is not good, Dad, you can send him to the moon to mine!"


    Moon mining has become a reality two years ago. The omnipotent Angle Industries has monopolized the resources of the moon, and is still building a robot base on it. A factory completely controlled by robots, specially purifies helium 3 from the soil, in the form of liquid Save it and send it back to Earth.


    The nuclear fusion reaction using helium 3 is the most perfect among known elements. To say that it releases more energy... I am afraid that only antimatter is left.


    Coincidentally, the Royal Academy of Sardinia is also engaged in this project.


    An Feng smiled: "I''m not so autocratic, am I?"

    Chapter 484 Tour Tour


    However, after thinking about it carefully on the way, I had to be cautious, so I made an international call to Wang Le, and the video image was transferred to the display screen in the back seat. Seeing this guy''s sleepy eyes, he probably just woke up and couldn''t say anything. Come on. An Feng said first, "Ke Ke has found a boyfriend."


    "Oh." The confused Wang Le responded, and suddenly opened his eyes: "What? Say it again!"


    "The girl has found a new boyfriend. The Chinese seem to be a bit of mixed race. He is in his thirties. He looks passable, but he doesn''t know how it actually is."


    "Aiya." Wang Le smiled, "I don''t have to worry about it now."


    An Feng despised: "You are too unqualified to be a brother. The other party''s character is not determined, so you rush to push him out?"


    "That''s right!" Wang Le nodded, "You have to supervise this guy for me, find out what''s going on with this guy, if he''s still the same as that **** last time, I''ll send him to the South Pole!"


    "No! My dad is going to send him to the moon!" Alice leaned her head, "Uncle Jim."


    "Alice''s idea is better." Wang Le said, "What''s the situation now?"


    "Get ready to have dinner with them." An Feng said, "What can I do for you?"


    "Take a good look at the reality of that kid, I believe your vision." Wang Le said, "If it doesn''t work, what is the number of the killer organization?"


    An Feng: "..."


    ��


    Traffic jam in the evening, looking at the superconducting maglev train passing by at a speed of more than 500 hours, I feel that any car on the road is crawling like a snail. With the growth of the city and the increase of the population, the traffic planning of S City decades ago began to show signs of fatigue, and it was in line with the "first traffic jam".


    Finally, we came to a Michelin-starred restaurant. With the increasing influence of China, the number of Chinese food on the red book is also increasing. This is a two-star restaurant, which was booked in advance, and it was already overcrowded when we came. Follow the waiter to sit down and take the menu.


    In order to liven up the atmosphere, Wang Keke said: "Mike is very familiar with Chinese food and can cook it."


    "Oh?" An Feng looked at him, "I am also familiar with Chinese food, can you tell me?"


    The topic unfolds like this, from meals to preferences, from preferences to conversations, from speeches to outlook on life, values... Even if you don��t know the situation, you can feel nervous from the questions and answers. Especially in the face of a powerful figure like An Feng, I feel a little bit on pins and needles.


    Wang Keke felt that her boyfriend''s hands were shaking if she continued talking, so she came to make a rescue: "You guys are here this time to participate in the equestrian tour?"


    "Yes, I am a player." Alice said proudly, "Maserati Centennial Equestrian Tour, I participated as a one-star professional rider."


    "You are amazing." Wang Keke smiled, "A girl who can enter the career threshold at the age of nineteen is definitely a talent."


    "It''s just the environment of my family." Alice said that when others praised her seriously, she wanted to be proud, but it often turned into humility.


    "Is it tomorrow afternoon?" Wang Keke asked.


    "Yes." She nodded.


    "Then you have to take a good rest. You will play tomorrow and adjust your condition tonight."


    "It''s okay, I''m just showing up as a friend, and I don''t want to compete for rankings." Alice said with a smile, "I''ll go to cheer for my cousin and make a show."


    "Are you interested?" An Feng asked suddenly.


    Mike glanced at Wang Keke before saying, "I have time in the afternoon, if possible."


    An Feng said: "Of course welcome, the more people the better."


    This dinner was a bit slow, and the topic was varied, but it was obviously meant to be an assessment. As a bystander, Alice listened with interest. Wang Keke didn''t interfere too much, so he let him test it. She was sure her family would know all about it before long.


    When leaving at night, An Feng and Wang Keke walked in front, and Alice fell behind to chat with Mike.


    Wang Keke asked: "What do you think of him?"


    "Shall I tell the truth?"


    "Of course to be honest, I don''t have much time to tweak at my age."


    An Feng said: "The overall situation is good. From the conversation and preferences, it can be seen that the family background is good, the personality is humble, and the details pay attention to your feelings and opinions. It can also be said to be careful. It complements your character of making decisions��if you live in real life If it��s also very good, I think it��s okay.��


    She said: "Thank you for your evaluation."


    An Feng said: "Don''t talk politely, we are good friends, and as elders, we should fulfill our obligations."


    "It''s very kind of you," she said.


    "Actually," An Feng smiled, "many girls think I''m good... I think so too."


    "Haha." She laughed, "I mean it."


    "I didn''t lie, did I?" An Feng said, and opened the car door beside the road for her.


    Wang Keke looked back at the two people who followed, and said to An Feng: "We will be there on time in the afternoon."


    "Welcome." An Feng said.


    Watching them leave in the car, the ghostly Alice came over: "Dad, what are you looking at?"


    "Score in my heart." An Feng said, "I have to give you Uncle Jim an answer tonight."


    "I feel very good!" Alice walked on the sidewalk at night with his arm in her arms. Followed by two cars, five bodyguards.


    "Little girls like this kind of man who is half vicissitudes and half youthful." An Feng said to her, "But sometimes, too many people think it''s good, which will make you feel insecure."


    "Yes." She nodded, "Dad, you know a lot."


    "I''m from here." He smiled. "Although parents'' interference is unacceptable, there are countless cases that prove that the parents'' judgments are often correct in the end. It''s a pity that God makes youthful and impulsive children and old-fashioned and calm parents , are always in conflict.��


    "Dad." She looked up, "I will refer to your and mom''s suggestions in the future."


    An Feng looked at her and asked, "Tell me, what conditions do you want to ask me again?"


    "There are no conditions." She said, suddenly angry: "I hate it, I don''t want to tell you!"


    ��


    The next afternoon, An Feng attended an event at an international racecourse in S city.


    The title sponsor of the theme is Maserati, which is associated with equestrianism and holds tours around the world. On the one hand, it is to create traditional luxury, and on the other hand, it is to enhance influence. Maserati has been operating very well in recent years, and the president series has always been a royal model and enjoys a high reputation.


    There were also many audiences and media present in the afternoon. On the one hand, due to the effectiveness of China��s economic construction, social conditions have improved, and big cities are following the old path of developed countries in Europe and the United States��beginning to take time off from heavy work to enjoy and relax. Activity.


    Men present mainly wear suits and dresses, while women wear various morning dresses and colorful hats.


    An Feng also brought his daughter on stage, the difference is that Alice has changed into equestrian clothing, and An Feng is holding the coat. The weather was a bit hot, so she only wore POLO shirts before going on stage. The appearance of her with her hair **** and a helmet in her hand was recorded by the live camera. She is also always the focus.


    Although she is only nineteen years old, she is different from some undeveloped bean sprouts. Because of her good life and heredity, she is 1.73 meters tall. She has a good appearance and figure, and her personality is also popular. It''s a pity that although the princess is extroverted, she is still relatively conservative in her attire.


    Alice doesn��t care about the outside world, she is talking with Cousin Xiaoyu. Ms. Liu Yu is now over 30 years old, married two years ago, and has a husband who is like-minded. As the vice president of Maserati''s Asia region, a Viscountess and a strong woman, her aura is not weak.


    It��s a long story, but the girl Xiaoyu in An Feng��s eyes came to work in Sardinia after graduating from university. Great location. The Queen has bestowed upon her the title of hereditary viness.


    Because of her promotion, Maserati''s influence in China has continued to increase.


    The current equestrian tour is a public relations event. The senior executives of the racetrack and Maserati are present, and there are distinguished royal family members, which is very eye-catching. Some celebrities in the business world brought their female companions to attend, as if it was an outdoor social event.


    The beautiful Ms. Liu Yu came over to say hello. She is the husband holding the child, and she also has a bright smile on her face. It seems that the family assignment work is ok.


    Liu Yu stepped forward: "Hi, sister Keke, uncle!"


    "Hi, long time no see!" Wang Keke hugged her, "You''ve been very busy recently."


    "I also want to take a vacation." Liu Yu said with a smile, "But I have to finish my work and find a sunny and cool beach?"


    "What do you say, Uncle?" she said.


    "I agree." An Feng nodded with his arms folded, "Are you still used to it, or next time I propose to transfer you back to Europe at the board meeting?"


    "No, do things here first." She said, "Add some seniority."


    "It''s up to you." An Feng nodded.


    "Your Highness." Liu Yu''s husband came, also of Chinese descent, named Zhang Kai, an early immigrant from Sardinia, whose parents were intellectuals. He and Liu Yu got acquainted on campus, their personalities complemented each other, and they entered the palace of marriage naturally. He is also open-minded about housewives and men.


    But he was a little afraid of An Feng. An Feng said a few words to him, then looked at the child in his arms: "Little guy, do you still remember who I am?"


    The one-and-a-half-year-old boy in his arms waved his hands at An Feng and smiled with his mouth open.


    "Interesting." An Feng shook his little hand.


    The equestrian arena is also very exciting. Usually, those who are passionate about equestrianism need some capital. A good horse costs millions, and tens of millions more. Someone was discussing the racing horse that Alice transported by air, which is said to be worth tens of millions of dollars... This time it was used in the obstacle course.


    The obstacle race at this station kicked off, and Alice''s appearance order was relatively high, seventh. When the lady in a black slim coat came on stage, the audience burst into applause and cheers. Like her mother, she passed the timer calmly and started to run wildly.


    Alice''s equestrian talent is very good. She became an international first-star rider at the age of nineteen, and the difficulty is also one-star now. It is not a big problem for her. The triple jump, which is the most error-prone, is also defeated by the horses under her. Overcome with an easy rhythm and finally finished with zero penalties.


    Her right hand was holding the rein, and she raised her left hand and waved it around, very gracefully.

 Chapter 485： rich country

    Chapter 485 Tyrant Country


    Due to the participation of a member of the royal family, the level of the competition has been improved a lot. Alice''s performance did not disappoint. She finally won the third place. This talent is indeed extraordinary. I''m afraid the media also have to praise it, especially the roadside clubs, who always love gossip.


    There is nothing wrong with positive reports, but if you fabricate facts indiscriminately, you will be sued. Last time, a media in France fabricated the relationship crisis between the Queen of Sardinia and the Prince. As a result, they were not only scolded by netizens, but also brought to court. In the end, they were bankrupt and fined, and the government had to step on it. foot.


    Things came back to the competition field. After the competition was the awards ceremony. Alice stood on the third place podium, accepting the eyes of the crowd and the attention of the cameras. Ms. Liu Yu, Vice President of Maserati, awarded medals to the three winners and congratulated them on their achievements.


    The star-studded Alice kissed the medal. This is the third time she won the medal after she got the professional rating, which also added a bright spot to her career. Family and friends sent congratulations one after another, and Liu Yu also invited: "Let''s go to a restaurant to have a party tonight, how about it?"


    "Good idea," said Alice.


    "What about you, Sister Keke?" Liu Yu looked at her.


    "I will go." Wang Keke nodded.


    In the evening, there will be a celebration party, and the celebration will be held in a box of a restaurant. After dinner, we moved from the indoor to the outdoor platform, put together several leisure sofas, looked at the night sky and tasted desserts, and also added some comments on Wang Keke''s new boyfriend. Everyone was very happy.


    The only thing is that Mike is a little nervous, but compared with the previous day, his performance is more natural, and his self-confidence is also revealed, obviously he is very firm in this relationship. Seeing their warmth and sweetness when their eyes and ears met, An Feng also left his wishes and "greetings" on behalf of Wang Le.


    An Feng and Alice had to return home the next morning.


    It is only May, which is supposed to be Alice��s school day, but the princess has privileges... In fact, she has completed her academic assessment last semester and is determined to enter the Royal Academy of Cagliari for further studies. The rest of the next semester is basically leisure and entertainment, and I occasionally read books.


    The Royal Academy, where Alice will study in the future, will send out the eighth batch of graduates in June this year. The number of students in the academy is not large, just over 5,000 people, but most of the graduates are elites, and some of the technical levels involved in high-tech majors... Sincerely It is not comparable to other countries.


    It''s like standing on the second floor and comparing yourself with passers-by, the foundation is a bit higher first.


    Its graduates generally take three paths: find a job in their own country, receive a green card that is envied by outsiders, and become a desirable citizen in the future; continue their studies and get in touch with knowledge that can make people fascinated; At the pinnacle, step into the gate of the Royal Research Institute and enter the factory that mass-produces the Nobel Prize.


    Only a small part will choose to go back to serve their motherland. It is true that this kind of patriotic mentality is commendable, but it also means that the career of the high platform is over, and he has fallen from heaven to the mortal world. No matter whether it is a college or a research institute, it will no longer open its academic doors.


    This is Anfeng''s guarantee concept. Although the high-level technology is rarely accessible to humans, and it is all artificial intelligence itself, but the low-level technology is also a representative of advanced technology in other parts of the world. Sardinia is not an orphanage, and it will not export talents without return.


    This kind of policy ensures that more elites stay in the local area for development, and at the same time forms a trend of explosion in various fields, and the world academic center comes here.


    ��


    Alice boards the plane with a gift and bids farewell to the city.


    Private travel is relatively low-key, without using a huge special plane, ordinary Bombardier business jets take off from S City and turn to Europe. An Feng slept for several hours on the road, woke up just before arriving, and looked out the window boredly. The plane entered Sardinian airspace from the north and headed south.


    Generally, flights from Asia are from north to south. If the weather is good, you can see the wonders of Olbia below��a large "city" suspended in the air, the largest one is in the middle, surrounded by Surrounded by small suspended islands, flowers and green trees are planted.


    This is almost a must-see for first-time tourists, Olbia''s world-famous "Sky Garden". Through the physical effect of superconducting suspension, a huge platform is lifted to a height of more than 40 meters in the air, on which there are miniature central parks, shopping centers and dining and entertainment centers.


    It is more famous than the capital Cagliari, the hanging garden has become a national business card, and it is often thought of when talking about Sardinia.


    Because of the local development strategy, after the recommendation of the parliament and the votes of local residents, it is allowed to operate casino hotels in designated areas and accept the supervision of the government and taxation departments. The coastal area has also been continuously transformed. Green Earth Company has planted rows of coconut trees on the seashore, and 100,000 tons of soft sea sand transported from the Caribbean Sea has been laid on the beach, and all surrounding projects that pollute the seawater have been relocated.


    The flattened land is used for reclamation and land reclamation projects, and sea residential areas are built in places with the best scenery. The artificially excavated roadways are dense, sandy beaches and palm trees are everywhere, and yachts are constantly coming and going. It has become another sign of the rich. An ideal place to be unique and play.


    Olbia is currently a city group that integrates spectacle tourism, gaming entertainment, horse racing, and exclusive shopping destinations. It is expected to become the largest city in the country in the next ten years, with a population of over 3 million and annual tourists exceeding 10 million. There will be a lot of economy.


    ��


    The plane continued to head south, came over the quieter capital, and landed at the private airport of Anshi Industry. Because the international airport is relatively busy and I don''t bother to stop there, the royal family''s planes enjoy exemption privileges. After getting off the plane, the Maserati who came to pick you up was ready.


    Get in the car and leave, and enter the city with high-rise buildings in a few minutes - the flat and endless vineyards eight years ago have disappeared, replaced by a high-rise economic high-tech zone, which has sprung up around the old city, and is characterized by a lot of skyscrapers , postmodern style can be seen everywhere.


    The high-tech zone gathers domestic and international large enterprises, financial enterprises, etc., and there are various commercial centers, technology centers, etc. around. It is very lively during the day and night. Unlike the tranquil old town, this is a materialistic world, full of money and desire.


    This is also the result of urban planning. The surrounding Royal Research Institutes and academies continue to send talents to the country, and these talents tend to fall into this circle, engaged in finance, engaged in technology...the list goes on. The resulting economic benefits are also considerable.


    An Feng''s previous plans have been put into reality, as evidenced by the prosperity on the road and outside the window.


    From scratch, from ordinary to prosperous...An Feng feels a sense of accomplishment every time he feels the miracles he has created.


    The most obvious thing is the national economy. Sardinia is known as a "tyrant country" by the outside world. As the name suggests, their number of citizens is close to 3 million-the immigration policy is not loose-there are about 1.5 million residents and the country''s population is about 4.5 million. Last year''s GDP was $900 billion.


    On average, when the per capita GDP reaches 200,000 U.S. dollars, a family of three must contribute 600,000 U.S. dollars to GDP, otherwise it will drag the country down��this is unprecedentedly high, twice as much as the second place. Even tiny nations can only look up to their horrific per capita levels.


    There are not many families that can reach the average line, and most of them are lagging behind, but this does not prevent it from becoming the richest per capita, the happiest country in the world, and the country with the highest immigration choice index. Personal income is not that high, but the national welfare is good, and the living conditions are naturally not bad.


    Sardinia''s taxation accounts for about 23% of GDP, which is in the middle of the world standard. It means 900 billion GDP, and the government gets 207 billion in taxes. The government is very rich, and taxes are taken from the people and used for the people. With such a small population, social welfare is naturally booming.


    The medical care and education in the country are free, all kinds of guarantees are in place, the maternity subsidy is a miracle, the government encourages human creation, but it has little effect, and intellectuals are busy with creation and self-realization. Equality between men and women is particularly prominent. There are many women in senior management positions, and they are unwilling to give birth early.


    This is also the reason why the country has only three million citizens after the naturalized population has almost caught up with the fifth batch. They absorb elites from various fields. At the same time, educational research institutions are also mass-producing elites. The whole society is more industrious than before. , the efficiency of wealth creation is driven up.


    The small population cannot be blamed on the outside world. There are countless people trying to immigrate, but unfortunately the conditions are not up to standard. Of the 1.5 million residents here (who hold green cards or work visas), only an estimated 15 percent are granted naturalization. The official estimated national population standard line is 6 million, and the warning line is 12 million.


    If it exceeds, the country will become crowded, the economy cannot keep up with the population, and various benefits will not be guaranteed.


    An Feng also took it easy, everything has to be done slowly, choose excellent ones, and beware of absorbing good and bad people, which will lower the overall quality of society. This kind of high-welfare life requires the contribution of every citizen, and does not belong to opportunistic outsiders. The Immigration Bureau is particularly strict in this regard.


    It is worth mentioning that there are quite a few Chinese immigrants. Although they also have An Feng��s personal feelings, their intellectual advantages cannot be ruled out. Most of the Chinese immigrants in the country are engaged in highly educated and highly professional fields, and their overall quality is high. The melting pot of nations adds a unique touch.


    According to the policy, foreign immigrants are mostly concentrated in the middle-class elite, and the rich are not many, and it is not easy to come here. The conditions at the bottom are not met, so the elite naturally has the most. In order to make up for the labor shortage in grassroots industries, the state has even increased the pass rate of work visas for specific occupations.


    But here also has the same common problem as other developed countries: labor costs are particularly high.


    Those who can let housekeepers mow the lawn, clean the room, or hire nannies to take care of the children are all middle-class people with good incomes, and even the wages of these practitioners are similar to them-the only difference is that the elites are mostly mental activities, while they are manual labor. host. If you can''t keep up with your brain power, choose physical strength. This is also an area where immigrants can take advantage of tricks. The Immigration Bureau continues to relax visa requirements in this area.

 Chapter 486： Territorial expansion? 【Third watch】

    Chapter 486 Territorial expansion? ��Third watch��


    It is morning when we depart from China, and it is also morning when we arrive in Sardinia. Jet lag is a tormenting thing. Alice yawned repeatedly, fell asleep with her head tilted, and woke up when she arrived at the Moncalieri Palace. She stretched her waist and asked confusedly, "Dad, why is it still dark?" ?��


    An Feng shook his head: "If you sleep a little longer, you will know."


    Butler Wheeler opened the door and greeted: "Welcome back, Your Royal Highness."


    "Good morning." An Feng handed him the hat, and Alice on the other side got out of the car, and also said hello: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Wheeler."


    "My honour, Your Highness." He bowed and nodded.


    Like the traditional British butler, Wheeler is also a native Englishman. He was selected by Brandon six years ago and trained by himself for half a year. Afterwards, Brandon retired with honor and the Queen gave him a special gift. "Citizenship of Honor" and the Order of Meritorious Service.


    Wheeler can see a lot of Brandon��s rigorous shadows, but he is more energetic, in his early sixties, strong and strong, and is good at things such as driving for the Queen himself and shooting wild ducks with a shotgun. Before leaving, Brandon said that the royal family needs youth and vitality, and Wheeler is exactly that.


    Judging from the current results, all the forty-five servants are in good spirits. Occasionally, there will be group activities in their free time. The queen also appreciates it. Although everyone is equal, it is impossible to achieve it, but she does not look down on anyone. people, consider them only as professionals doing domestic work.


    The servant carried the luggage, and the housekeeper followed An Feng. An Feng said casually, "What has she been up to lately?"


    "Madam is discussing political matters with the Prime Minister and the Parliament." Wheeler said, "I heard that it is the issue of illegal immigration. Recently, the newspapers have made headlines."


    "Illegal immigration?" An Feng shook his head when he heard this, "It''s not a good thing."


    "There are two attitudes among the people, one is tolerance, and the other is to eliminate loopholes." Wheeler said appropriately.


    "Details." An Feng asked him to continue.


    "The proportion of tolerant people is relatively small, and they belong to caring people. They hope that the government can accept these immigrants who have nowhere to go. The opponents list the harm caused by illegal immigration, the impact on social order, and the most critical welfare. In terms of policy, some are more extreme."


    "For example?" An Feng said, the butler speaks very well, he pays attention to words, and will ask sensitive points.


    "The extreme party said that it is the right thing to lower the social welfare of the entire citizen to fill this hole - as long as the tolerant people or members of parliament take the lead and maintain a firm stand after three to five years of testing, they will also agree. manner."


    "Nonsense." An Feng smiled.


    Wheeler said: "Therefore, most of the people support the country''s introduction of more specific immigration policies. The lessons of illegal immigration have been staged in Spain and France, which has brought very bad consequences. Members are also very cautious about this issue. My wife has been paying attention to it. What''s going on."


    They came to the queen''s private office on the second floor. Wheeler knocked on the door and pushed it open. An Feng led Alice in.


    Joanna is facing away from them, holding a cordless phone. She is dressed like a professional woman today, with a cool white shirt, the hem of the shirt is tucked into a professional skirt, and her curly shawl hair is very temperamental. She is said to be a queen, but now she looks more like a strong executive woman of a company.


    Joanna, who heard the voice, turned her head, nodded to them, and said in her mouth: "I don''t care what a few people think, let this matter go away first."


    "That''s right." Her tone was unquestionable, "Take the attitude you should have and execute it immediately."


    She put down the phone, walked up, An Feng hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, and asked, "What do you need to order yourself?"


    She shook her head: "The parliament has become full of gunpowder because of a new financial bill. Two groups of people are arguing. If you can''t solve it, come to me."


    "Who told you to be their leader?" An Feng smiled. It was like two groups of children had a fight, and finally they came to their parents when they couldn''t figure it out.


    Joanna looked at the daughter next to her, and Alice conjured up a box from behind: "A gift for you, a pearl bracelet bought from China."


    She used that questioning look.


    An Feng became a peacemaker: "You put away the present first, she has put a lot of thought into it."


    "It was hard to find it." She whispered.


    Seeing this, the housekeeper retreated out without a sound, closed the door gently, and guarded the door, not to disclose the housework.


    Joanna took the gift, and Alice said decisively, "I was wrong, Mom."


    Joanna leaned against the table, crossed her arms, and asked, "That boy, the one you talked about, how is he?"


    An Feng went to sit on the sofa, and didn''t get involved in such matters.


    Alice said: "A bit tall, a bit handsome, but very thoughtful, attracting girls just by pretending to have a sense of vicissitudes, has no connotation at all."


    Joanna said: "You can see this, which proves that you have thought about it. People are not afraid of making mistakes, but they are not clear after making mistakes."


    "So?" She looked up.


    "You''re doing the right thing, don''t hold back on that guy."


    "Aha." She suddenly smiled.


    "Please remove this weird word." Joanna said, "However, as a quasi-public, especially in the next few years, you will receive a lot of attention, and there is no means of prevention. This is a typical failure. .Remember the lesson, and put an end to it next time.��


    "It''s clear, Mom, I will." She bowed her head.


    Joanna nodded, she looked at her, and then stepped forward: "Mom, please open the presents. I have chosen for you for a long time, and my legs are almost broken when I walk."


    "You have to wait for me to see first." Joanna picked up the gift.


    "I still have to watch..." She dragged her voice.


    "Okay." She opened the gift, and inside was a pearl bracelet strung together. The bright white pearls are an irresistible color for women.


    "I''ll help you put it on." Alice said sweetly, "Isn''t it pretty?"


    "Very good." Joanna kissed her forehead, "This is your reward."


    "I am the daughter who likes you the most, and I think about you everywhere." She hugged her mother and said proudly.


    Joanna smiled: "You clever little girl."


    Staying in the office for a while, the phone rang again. She pressed the phone to answer, and the assistant''s voice came: "Madam, the Prime Minister''s call, he said it was urgent."


    "Come here." She picked up the phone.


    Alice waved her hands at them, mouthing: "I''m going to find Fred."


    An Feng nodded, she quietly backed out, Joanna frowned and talked with the other party on the phone, left a lot of "waiting for my consideration" replies, and hung up.


    An Feng, who was sitting on the sofa, asked, "What happened again?"


    "An old problem with our northern neighbour, Corsica."


    "What about the details?" An Feng patted the place beside him, "Come here and talk."


    Joanna came over, An Feng pulled her into his lap and sat down, she twitched: "Don''t do this, it won''t affect you well."


    "You are my wife, what''s wrong?" He asked back, putting his arms around her waist, making her sit sideways on his lap more comfortably.


    "I really admire you." She shook her head, "That''s right, Corsica has been independent for decades, and now they want to merge into Sardinia."


    "What about France''s attitude?" An Feng asked. Corsicans are envious of Sardinia''s welfare, but it''s a pity that France has been unwilling to relax this territory.


    ��The government has let go, the president��s adviser talked with Mancini, expressed cryptically, got some price and in-depth cooperation, and agreed to the Corsica referendum.��


    "What conditions?" An Feng asked.


    She said: "Core military technology and a lot of money."


    "It''s a good idea." An Feng shook his head, "Corsica is just a rural area, and it''s still full of mountains. I might as well rent land to develop there."


    She said: "But the government and many congressmen are interested in that piece of land. If it can be included in the bag, our national land area will reach 33,000 square kilometers, and we will no longer be at the bottom of Europe."


    "Let them die." An Feng said.


    Joanna frowned and looked at him: "You really want me to say that?"


    "Let me think about it." An Feng propped his head, "Adding that place can indeed show off the country, which is finally larger than Belgium, but the locals are very xenophobic. They call themselves proud Corsicans, the hometown of Napoleon, Algeria The quality of descendants is very poor."


    She asked: "Then how do you think to reply?"


    "You are the queen, put the blame on your government, just say... just use the method of opposing illegal immigration, equalize everyone''s welfare, and do what you think is appropriate. If the people object, you dissolve the parliament and fire They squid, all drink the northwest wind."


    "Good idea." She nodded. This is a typical thing where the queen is responsible for the good things, and the government is responsible for the bad things.


    "You still have a lot of tricks." She said again.


    "This is a very flexible and very tricky idea!" An Feng emphasized, patting her buttocks, "I didn''t come up with it out of nonsense."


    "I don''t agree." She smiled and shook her head.


    An Feng''s topic is not on this point: "It feels good, is it not worn?"


    "I don''t want to discuss this," she said.


    "This is your office, walking on the edge of being discovered and hidden." An Feng''s fingers wandered on her thighs covered in stockings.


    "Don''t play around with this, I''m telling you the truth." She pressed An Feng''s hand that was going deep.


    "But you haven''t answered me yet." An Feng looked up, "Or is it a thin line?"


    "No, no trace," she said.


    "Oh! Don''t say the answer so quickly." An Feng covered his forehead, "You have to resist at least a little bit."


    "No!" She shook her head, "I don''t want to play this right now."


    "Okay, time is yours." An Feng let go of his hand.


    "Angry," she said.


    "No." He also shook his head, "Go on, you must be thinking, even though these policies are implemented, Corsica is still allowed to vote in the end, what should I do?"


    "Don''t do this." She leaned over, very aggrieved: "I was wrong."


    "I''m serious about discussing things with you, Your Majesty the Queen." An Feng said, "And let go of your hands from my chest, I''m not a casual person."


    She stopped stroking his skin and said solemnly: "Who knows? Everything is uncertain, and Corsica makes troubles for France from time to time. What''s more misunderstanding is that after the French got the wind from some congressmen, they Think we really want to expand the territory, maybe take the initiative to show favor?"


    "I won''t give them a base on the moon if I take the initiative to show my favor." An Feng curled his lips.


    "So it''s a mess," she said.


    An Feng said: "Why do you worry about these things? You are only responsible for the overall opinions and issuing orders. This is something that group of cunning politicians should consider."


    She got it: "There''s also ''fire when things don''t go right,'' right?"

 Chapter 487： technology giant

    Chapter 487 Technology Giant


    After all, the root cause is still a problem of technology and extraterrestrial space.


    Although Sardinia is a small country on the earth, it is a technological giant. As early as five years ago, it successfully landed robots on the moon, and three years ago astronauts officially landed on the moon. Landing on the moon is not uncommon, but what about plotting land on it? How about more than 10 million square kilometers?


    You must know that the moon is not as big as the earth. Its surface area is 38 million square kilometers. Sardinia dug away one-third of it without saying a word, and the result is naturally not good. According to the "Outer Space Treaty" and "Moon Treaty" of mankind, it is stipulated that the moon belongs to mankind.


    If not, wouldn��t the moon belong to them when the Americans went up to plant the national flag?


    But the regulations are only a general direction, and there are no detailed rules to explain the development and management of land. Regardless of the law, things return to the most basic principle-whoever develops first belongs to whom. This principle is clearer, and the base with the most complete functions on the moon has a flag with a white cross and a blue border.


    Other capable big countries are naturally not to be outdone, but it is a pity that it is definitely not an easy task to spend money to build a moon base-if you have money, you can play technology, but if you don''t have money, you can play luck. As a result, Sardinia built a moon base, and they were just a few small cars and signal stations.


    Naturally, after several aerospace planes landed on the moon, the base in Sardinia was initially built. Every material is a robot that can be combined freely. They are first combined into a probe vehicle, which drives out in all directions and inserts beacons along the way... This One circle is one Russia.


    However, other countries do not recognize it. They only stated that Sardinia has the right to develop the moon, and its "used" site is near the moon''s equator, about 1.6 million square kilometers, and more than 10 million is out of the question. As for the 1.6 million, everyone agreed tacitly.


    Because...Although the United Nations prohibits the construction of military bases in outer space, when the United States and the Soviet Union competed for hegemony, it proved that no treaty is as real as fists and power.


    The Royal Aerospace Corporation of Sardinia spent a lot of money and spent a huge amount of money to build a military base with two sets of lasers and a set of electromagnetic guns-the future in exchange cannot be reflected in value. Any country that wants to land on the moon will have to face these weapons.


    The military power on the moon can be very simple. Even if a small stone is ejected at an accelerated speed and aimed at the target to attack, no one can bear it. What''s more, Sardinia''s combination of "dead light + electromagnetic gun", as long as they use weapons, the area will be completely blocked.


    Under pressure from all aspects of "building a military base in outer space", the Sardinian government finally let go and admitted that the moon belongs to everyone, but they contracted certain areas. If they don''t talk about territorial rights, they are territorial rights��just like Private territory, outsiders are not allowed to invade casually.


    But the specific area is still uncertain.


    Sardinia insists that the territory has more than 10 million square kilometers, and the major countries only recognize the 1.6 million. The rest of the area is their immoral act of covering other countries'' detection areas. And Sardinia gave a deadline to let the disputed countries go to the moon for an interview within three years to see who the area belongs to.


    As a result, everyone was dumb.


    Therefore, the large area currently belongs to the disputed area marked by the red line. There are often land vehicle activities in Sardinia. When other countries land on the moon, they are unwilling to set targets in the area. Although it belongs to everyone, it actually falls on others. In the courtyard, I feel somewhat uneasy.


    Maybe everyone will be surprised, the matter on the moon cannot be resolved, so what about returning to the ground?


    After all, human beings live on the earth, and everyone''s disputes are happening on the earth. How can the big countries tolerate Sardinia''s wanton enclosure of the moon? This is a long story, and it also involves the issue of the country''s military strength, and although Sardinia is small, it is not bad.


    Since the development of Sardinia, this person has become popular, so he will inevitably be subject to some speculation and tentative behavior. Six years ago, a NATO military plane "mistakenly entered" Sardinia''s airspace. It is the military plane deployed by the United States in Sicily, hovering around the airspace of Sardinia.


    Then the pilot may get lost, so try entering his airspace.


    At that time, it was the most advanced sixth-generation fighter, supersonic and stealthy. It was difficult for ordinary countries to find it, and it was also difficult to lock it with fire control radar. As a result, as soon as they crossed that line, the fighter''s radar warning device buzzed all the way, and the two fighters were locked by the ground radar. No matter what they did, whether it was a large maneuver, throwing jamming chaff, or electromagnetic countermeasures... it was useless, and the opponent''s radar Always locked.


    Being locked on to the fire control radar means that the guided weapon will be able to attack the target - where is the advantage of the stealth fighter? Radar is hard to lock on! Or after being locked, they can quickly get rid of it by virtue of their invisibility and flexibility. Can''t get rid of the lock now, no matter how advanced you are, there is a dead end!


    As long as the opponent launches two anti-aircraft missiles, these two expensive sixth-generation fighters will have to be scrapped.


    Under the pressure, they evacuated immediately. Followed by Sardinia''s drones, five drones burst out five times the speed of sound to catch up with them, the ground radar has been locked on the two US military aircraft, through the data link, the drones can catch them at any time Blast to pieces.


    Even the drones flew around the two U.S. military planes comfortably, and communicated with each other by radio to confirm their identities, and asked the U.S. military planes to slow down, otherwise they would take further measures... Finally, the U.S. military obediently cooperated. No loss.


    Finally, the "lost" military plane successfully found its home and returned to the military base in Sicily.


    The Sardinian official also greeted the two lost pilots in good health... The TV even reported the difficult journey home of the two lost bald eagles in the form of ridicule. And the eyes of foreign media, especially those from Europe, are as big as brass bells!


    According to the disclosed content, the U.S. military is two so-called most advanced manned sixth-generation aircraft, and Sardinia is a very common F200-ER extended range version. The foreign trade version is sold to many countries, so that those who are too lazy to train manned aircraft The pilot''s country saves a lot of money and time.


    This was an unequal competition, but why did the U.S. military planes fail?


    Governments and media of various countries were really curious. After many inquiries, they restored part of the facts: the US military planes had been locked at that time, and the other side could destroy them in the air at any time, but they did not do so in the end. Because Sardinia has military strength, but not the strength of war.


    The reason is that the country is too small and there is no strategic depth. Even if the attack ability is strong, the enemy only needs one round of super-saturated attack, and in the end, both sides will suffer. Sardinia is currently focusing on economic development. Once there is a war, it will fall into a quagmire, and its future development will be impossible to talk about.


    But the power of Sardinia has also opened the eyes of European countries.


    At present, apart from Mao Xiong, there are not many countries in Europe that dare to compete with the United States. France may have strength, but after all, it is a member of NATO. This time the U.S. military had a brain twitch, and it was almost brought down by someone.


    Sardinia showed more than that. They didn''t want to cause trouble, but they didn''t have the ability to cause trouble.


    After that incident, the U.S. military was very curious about the ground radar and wanted to find out, but it was impossible to send fighter jets, so they showed off the SR-72 super high-speed reconnaissance plane, flew over the head of Sardinia from high altitude, and used High-resolution cameras film the ground, spotting suspicious radar stations.


    The SR-72 sent is a drone with a speed of up to Mach 6. At present, no anti-aircraft missiles can catch up, but the defect has also come out. Some countries have electromagnetic guns that are twice as fast... But this has not yet appeared, The current naval railgun speed is around Mach 5.


    The drone thought it could be like no man''s land, and easily circled over Sardinia''s head. It only started on the first lap, and it was scanned by the radar again, but this time the United States continued to circle with confidence. , because military intelligence shows that neither electromagnetic guns nor aircraft can catch up with it.


    It��s a pity that the ideal is too good. Sardinia does not have such a fast military aircraft. The aerospace fighter under development is fine, but there is no need to fully reveal the hole card, so the ground launches electromagnetic guns into the air. This is a railgun with a range-extending rocket, which can gain the speed of Mach 5 and use the rocket to accelerate.


    The drone was too fast, the goal this time was not to catch up to the attack, and it was not easy to achieve - three guided shells exploded around the SR-72, forming a cloud filled with electromagnetic pulses, the SR-72 rushed past, and then all Electronics burnt by EMP...falling straight down.


    EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) is known as an electronic killer. All electronic components will be short-circuited and burned when they encounter it. It is produced after a nuclear explosion.


    Currently, the EMP caused by a non-nuclear explosion has been initially mastered by Kanika Corporation.


    The results of it? The SR-72 was hit, most of the electronic equipment was burned, and it fell to the ground out of control, and then it landed on Corsica Island, and the French were shocked at that time��they sent troops to search overnight empty, and the U.S. military is also extremely nervous.


    The French naturally do not allow the Americans to enter and leave their territory at will, and even the French have launched their warships and waited for them... The Americans were dumb and watched the French go into the mountains to search, and they could only express through diplomatic channels, please Return in full.


    The French are also refreshing, they say they will return it to you if they find it.


    In the end, it took them a week to find it... You must know that the island is not big, and military aircraft can see it in a circle, and it takes a day to send thousands of people. It took the French a week. Their attitude towards life is slow.


    The Americans are probably bleeding, and all the secrets they should have have been unearthed.


    For a long time afterwards, the United States did not plan to send military planes to Sardinia, and Sardinia did not announce anything related to that time. They said that they were also in a daze, so they captured the "drunk" innocence. The manned plane flew overhead and crashed into Corsica.


    They expressed regret.


    France also expressed regret, forgetting about the airspace violation.


    Officials have kept silent about this series of incidents, but they caused an uproar on the Internet. Get down its scout plane.


    This ability is really extraordinary, and it is being discussed all over the world.


    Subtle changes have taken place in the relationship between the attitudes of various countries. The most obvious thing is that Kanika''s arms sales business is booming. Some countries that lack military strength or want to be lazy all want to order drones and a system. And countries that pursue high technology hope for military cooperation.


    The French have all kinds of friendly cooperation, inviting military exercises and joint research and development of military technology, etc., and the United Kingdom, the number one younger brother of the United States, has also changed its psychology. If China is so strong, there is nothing wrong with it. They still have to mix with the United States. After all, China No bird rots the country.


    But Sardinia is different, they can climb relatives.


    And they are also Europeans, and will soon be a member of the EU family. They are not stupid enough to cross the Atlantic to lick the **** of the United States-you must know that the United States was the one that encouraged the independence of the British colonies! The British have a mixed love-hate relationship with them.


    Now that the sun is rising in the Mediterranean Sea, everyone sees opportunities.


    Ambitious countries have made plans, and even the United States has come to make friendly exchanges, wanting to explore the reality of Sardinia, and at the same time establish their attitudes. The final answer is temporarily reassuring. Sardinia has no military expansion ambitions, nor does it want to engage in military competition.


    What is certain is that a big country has the ability to defeat Sardinia, but Sardinia has the confidence to bring all mankind back to the primitive era. This forms a balance point that restricts each other. The development of the military is not a bad thing, and eventually a good environment for equal dialogue will be formed.

 Chapter 488： speech

    Chapter 488 Speech


    Sardinia pursues a friendly development policy, and has repeatedly expressed its intention to compete for world hegemony. It is also very cooperative in action, arms sales to many European countries, military cooperation to a certain extent, and sharing of science and technology...and the same is true for other Asian and American regions.


    This equal attitude also establishes the theme: peaceful development.


    An idealized peace does not exist, and the stability of Sardinia is based on a hard fist. Of course, not many people want to target them. One is that they are not easy to provoke;


    Assuming that because of some contradictions, the US government decides to use force against Sardinia, not to mention that they are likely to be beaten back to the original era by EMP, there must be a wave of opposition in the country, just like letting Catholics open fire on the Vatican, people here Anti-war sentiment was particularly strong on this point.


    With the coexistence of many conditions, life in Sardinia is very peaceful.


    And the series of events also made the government strengthen self-protection measures, and there is the magnetic fluid warship behind. As the name suggests, it does not use traditional propellers or water jet propulsion methods, but magnetic fluid��parallel guide rails similar to electromagnetic guns, which are accelerated by electricity. seawater.


    It can achieve a speed of more than 100 knots, which is beyond the reach of any submarine, warship or fish. Considering the speed of sea navigation is too fast, it is unmanned. Soldiers can''t bear the sea speed of more than 50 knots for a long time, and the machine is the best choice.


    After the sea has self-protection forces, five years ago, Aerospace Corporation��s "Aerospace Fighter" was successfully released. It is said on the Internet that this fighter is used to maintain peace in the solar system... It can indeed fly out of the earth, and even go to the moon base one way�� Because Anshi Industries made a breakthrough in liquid fuel.


    The commonly used liquid hydrogen in the past has a limited carrying capacity, but the newly launched solid hydride can allow fighters to obtain greater thrust, faster speed, and greater range, while the cost is not much different from the original one, and the efficiency is increased by about 50%. Be the help to land on the moon and build a base.


    After the strength in the sky, the earth and the sea, Sardinia will have no national defense worries.


    The cooperation of other countries is particularly enthusiastic, although Sardinia is the leading one, such as improved unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in Europe, reconnaissance planes and bombers for anti-terrorism needs in the Middle East, radar for China''s military weaknesses, military steel, and crappy printers for the United States technology.


    Kanika and Aerospace are enthusiastic about this��as long as the price is enough.


    After all, they are contractors, and they will not lose money in business, and they will not sell all the old ones. Their principle is not to engage in weapons of mass destruction, and mainly focus on defensive or non-lethal weapons. The death ray weapon (laser) is a key project, and it is also envied by other countries but hard to find.


    ��


    The topic returns to the present. The reason why France is like this is nothing more than technology and "occupation" of some lunar land.


    Several major European countries also have a joint moon landing project, but compared with China and the United States, it is a bit inferior, and compared with Sardinia, it is even more heavenly and underground. They couldn''t grab it, so they planned to move a little from Sardinia''s "more than one thousand". Because everyone knew, including An Feng, that they couldn''t get so much.


    The development area of ??Sardinia must be larger than 1.6 million square kilometers, but 10 million is absolutely impossible. It may be doubled by wrangling in the future, this is the limit. Lunar resources are a future strategy, just like oil in the past, the nuclear energy resources on it can be consumed for millions of years.


    If France and the United Kingdom can take a ride in Sardinia, they will also send the machine up and announce that they will develop lunar land around Sardinia. Dinia and them jointly developed.


    Because of these complicated reasons, An Feng''s attitude was uncertain.


    He doesn''t mind adding Corsica''s land - no one thinks the country is too big. The hundreds of thousands of people in the area can also accept it. As for those social problems, let the police implement strict management for a period of time to show Sardinia''s law enforcement attitude and ensure that they are obedient.


    ��


    An Feng went back to sleep and fell jet lagged.


    At noon the next day, after re-adapting to the day and night changes in Sardinia, I walked in the garden, accompanied by the tiger Xiaobai who has been raising for many years.


    An Feng threw out the flying saucer in his hand and pointed forward: "Grab it, Xiaobai!"


    Xiaobai catches up, the flying saucer flew quite far, but its speed is not slow, before the flying saucer landed, he jumped and bit the flying saucer, landed on the ground smoothly, and then ran towards An Feng... His performance It is no different from a pet dog, although it has entered the old age.


    "Good-girl!" An Feng rubbed its big head.


    It was the same as before, playing with An Feng mischievously, occasionally reminding him of his youth.


    While thinking about it, a young man walked beside him, about the height of An Feng''s shoulders, with black eyes and black hair, and a handsome face.


    "Father." He said.


    Xiaobai saw Fred and rushed towards him. Fred hugged the weighty tiger and took a few steps back: "Haha! You are too heavy!"


    Fred is five years younger than his sister. He is fourteen this year, but he is a genius. He is already in contact with university courses. The only function of going to school is to exercise his communication skills. Joanna often takes him to social occasions to let him Broaden your horizons.


    Because the couple don��t want their child to become a nerd who only stays at home, he may be the crown prince in the future��if he really doesn��t want to, Joanna will make his offspring the first in line heir. But now he has accepted this identity, and he still has to match his father.


    Fred does not have the characteristics of a nerd. He has learned equestrianism, fighting and military knowledge from An Feng, and has also participated in the Boy Scout training for a month. In terms of intellectual development, with such an excellent existence as his father, it is even more comprehensive. Capable of both literature and martial arts, "tall, rich and handsome" is the same.


    "Today is the weekend?" An Feng asked.


    "No, Wednesday." Fred scratched Xiaobai''s head, "But it''s meaningless to stay in school all the time. I''m going out to run and exercise."


    An Feng smiled: "This is not an excuse to skip school...but it is much smarter than your sister."


    He said: "Is she upset Mommy again?"


    "It''s a little bit, a girl''s unrequited love." An Feng walked forward, but Fred''s ignorant youth still didn''t understand.


    "Do you think that girl is cuter and attractive to you?" An Feng turned his head and asked.


    "They''re... a little too naive," Fred said.


    "You are not very old, child." An Feng said, "Youth is a silly but memorable era, don''t miss it."


    "Oh." He nodded, not understanding.


    "Forget it." An Feng said, "Let me tell you again, your mother is going to talk to me tonight."


    Fred laughed.


    The father and son walked along the long pool for a while, and the tiger followed with a wag of its tail. Fred asked, "Can I attend this Saturday''s event at the Academy''s Great Hall?"


    An Feng asked: "Are you interested in biology?"


    Fred said: "I''ve been teaching myself recently, and I''ve been talking to Eve about cell division and cloning."


    "Oh, I learned a lot." An Feng nodded, "If you want to go, follow up on Saturday."


    "Thank you." He smiled.


    ��


    An Feng is the principal of the Royal Academy��but he is in name, and he doesn''t care about anything. The school affairs are in charge of the council and the elected chairman. In addition, he is also the dean of the Royal Academy, and he also holds a title, but he occasionally directs some subjects.


    Generally, if An Feng is free, he will attend the university hall once or twice a year, which is concentrated in the lecture hall, and a technical lecture in various fields given by some professionals��often attended by members of the Royal Academy. Due to the advanced concept, It''s full every time.


    He will give a speech on Saturday, in his capacity as principal and dean.


    An Feng''s attainments in medical technology have been known all over the world after the disaster. He is a heavyweight, and because of his status as a prince, no matter whether he understands it or not, he is looking forward to his speech. But also rarely, the last time he discussed intelligent machines was last March.


    This speech focuses on the integrated biomedical warehouse.


    At three o''clock in the afternoon on Saturday, the lecture halls of the college were already overcrowded. Half of them were students, and the other half were experts in various fields, most of them were from the Royal Academy of Sciences. With a casual glance, rare heavyweights gathered and won the prize. There are more than a dozen Bell Awards.


    The experts sit at random without any special treatment. They are in the front, behind or next to them. There is no meeting, and the leaders are all concentrated in the front. It is basically a reserved position on the Internet, and what you get is yours. . But there are also special seats at the front.


    This is from experts in related fields, and Dr. Keith is one of them. An Feng''s speech is also somewhat related to his research direction. Next to Case was a child, unmistakably Fred, who commanded a great deal of attention and curiosity at an inappropriate age for such an event.


    Because at the age of 14 or 15, they should still be junior high school students, and An Feng��s speech, even the doctoral students brought their notes, and the college students came with a pilgrimage mentality. They don��t expect to understand it completely. Part of it is a huge gain, a huge benefit.


    In anticipation of the audience, An Feng came on stage.


    Applause immediately sounded, the stage is very simple, there is a simple podium in the center, there is a touch computer screen, and the stage can also be used for holographic projection.


    An Feng looked around the lecture hall. The classroom that can accommodate 500 people now has at least 600 people, and some of them are still watching from the aisle. He nodded slightly, pointed his finger at the touch screen, and a capsule-shaped transparent cabin was projected in front of him.


    An Feng left the podium and walked to the front of the stage.


    "In some movies or games, there are similar devices. They are mostly classified as ''medical warehouses'', which can quickly scan and detect diseases, and then perform treatment and repair. Some screenwriters have strong imaginations and can Rapid cloning using a bioprinter."


    Everyone''s eyes are focused on the holographic projection image.


    "I want to say that art comes from life." An Feng came to the projection, "Those miraculous medical equipment are also moving towards reality."


    The expressions on everyone''s faces are very focused, and the professionals who know the content nod. An Feng''s lectures were not too difficult - he once said it was difficult, but no one understood in the end. Later, he added some popular content to make it easier for more people to understand.


    "Imagine it, a dying patient enters the medical warehouse, the medical machine quickly scans and reads his body data, and the complex process of analyzing the human body is completed by supercomputers, and then through some kind of radiation and energy, destroy or accelerate cell division , refactor and restore, and return to the original state."


    "Is this miraculous scene far away?" An Feng asked, "I want to say that it is very close to reality."


    An Feng��s keynote speech is gradually in-depth. The front is quite simple and everyone understands it. But after the details are developed, except for fantasy, the technical part can only be understood by professionals. The medical cabin in his mouth is no worse than the one in the movie in terms of function.


    Moreover, he did not disclose the full content, which involves the unannounced quantum computer, cells and rapid cloning technology in biotechnology, and biogenetics that can analyze DNA through scanning...Such a large amount of calculation must be based on supercomputers .


    A more advanced quantum computer can achieve fast scanning and fast treatment.


    Medical chamber...let''s call it that. It is very strong. For example, if a person accidentally breaks an arm, the DNA data will be extracted through the scan of the medical cabin. After the quantum computer results, the device will accelerate the value-added division of its somatic cells-on the other hand, this is fast cloning.


    It is like a biological 3D printer, allowing complete arms to "grow" out of the body.


    In the same way, after analyzing the human body as a whole, it can artificially promote cell division and proliferation for certain cells, organs, and even the whole body to maintain youthfulness��this is what he originally envisioned. Methods of biological vitality.


    It keeps people young.


    Instead of working on the surface��this facelift will do it. It goes deep into cells and human tissues, fundamentally reversing the years. The most difficult part is to decipher the code of the human body, which is very difficult... even has a bit of theological content, such as the problem of the generation and operation of the soul.

 Chapter 489： floating city

    Chapter 489 Floating City


    When An Feng''s speech came to an end, he allowed questions.


    A female student raised her hand and stood up: "Excuse me, sir, according to the effect of the medical chamber on cells, I would like to ask, can it prolong life and keep people young?"


    "It seems that women love beauty." An Feng made a joke, and laughter erupted from the audience.


    An Feng continued: "Biotechnology can keep living organisms young and vigorous, but��at present, they cannot interfere with nature. For example, the decline of brain tissue."


    "This is the law of life. Human beings have too little understanding of themselves. Technology can restore youth, but it cannot create life like normal men and women. The birth of a baby is a brand new life form, and cloning just slows down the speed. It is like God set up The forbidden zone is full of problems."


    "Sir, do you think you can live forever?" asked another.


    An Feng said: "This is not what we are currently exploring. But I think sometimes it is a kind of torture to go against the law and live too long. You will watch your friends die one by one, your children will grow old, and there will be no more people in the world." There is no one who can understand you and have a common topic with you. You enter aging after the age of sixty, and then continue to live a long life. Physical and mobility inconveniences are even more tormenting."


    "I don''t think it''s happiness, it''s loneliness," he said.


    "I think so too." An Feng nodded.


    Longevity should address two issues: longevity and aging. While prolonging life, it is also necessary to slow down the aging of the human body. If you can reach an average of 140 years old, at least the current 60-year-old age will not appear until after 90 years old. Otherwise, the increase in age is of little significance and will only become a burden.


    After An Feng answered some questions, he looked at the audience, and everyone stood up with thunderous applause.


    He nodded slightly and walked off the stage.


    ��


    Regarding the issue of the medical warehouse, the Royal Research Institute and Anshi Industries are currently cooperating, and the matter is not like "still working hard" as he said in his speech��it has already ended. Currently in clinical practice, the results are good. That is, the cost of each biological treatment is too high.


    But he can still afford it, and I''m afraid he will have to use it often, because there is a lady at home. This kind of magical thing is an indescribable temptation to them, including Joanna. Ever since she learned of An Feng''s plan, she has been looking forward to it. She would rather live to be only seventy years old than fifty years old (because of the improvement effect of bio-drinks, the human life expectancy is generally extended to one hundred and ten years old).


    On the way home from the academy, An Feng and Fred continued to communicate.


    Fred''s level of knowledge is equivalent to that of a college student, and he even has a deeper understanding of certain areas of interest. Discussing with his father, although the content is quite "simple", he has been able to master it, and he will automatically understand it after explaining it several times.


    "It''s not difficult, it is a beauty machine specially customized for your mother." An Feng said.


    Fred said: "She will be very happy."


    An Feng asked: "Have you learned this trick?"


    Fred nodded, An Feng put his arm around his shoulder and smiled. Parents treat boys and girls very differently. When treating girls, they hope that she will be careful and not take advantage of the wild boys outside. But for boys: while you are young, enrich your feelings.


    ��


    After dinner, they watch soap operas in the living room.


    An Feng doesn''t want to watch soap operas...but the two women in the family have 100% "democratic" voting rights. No matter how busy they are at work, they still have family time, even if they sit together and quarrel. Now Alice talks about prom, where to go after graduation, and so on.


    An Feng only said: "Don''t take advantage of others."


    "I know." She said, "There are a group of bodyguards around me all day, I just can''t think about it."


    "What?" An Feng looked at her.


    "It''s nothing, Dad!" She smiled, "Dad, should we go to Carbonia in the summer vacation? I heard that there is an F1 motorboat race."


    "You don''t like motorboats." An Feng said.


    "I want to go." She leaned over, "Well, some friends of mine want to spend a few days on the artificial island there to celebrate graduation."


    "Male and female?" An Feng asked.


    "They''re all girls, girls my age," she said.


    "I''ll give you a check later." He said, and Alice specially reported to him that it was nothing more than a matter of funding for the event.


    "I love you so much." She said with a smile.


    ��


    After both children were on vacation, they set off on a yacht.


    From the sea to Carbonia, the voyage is about 100 kilometers, and the scenery along the way is also a popular route for short-distance yacht trips. There is a famous man-made scenic spot in the local area. The reason is that the military port and military base need to be excavated near Cagliari, and the flattened sand is used to make land.


    But it is not an ordinary man-made land. In a U-shaped bay area outside the province of Carbonia, a huge artificial island occasionally appears. "Occasionally" it is destined to be a mobile floating city on the sea, which can accommodate 100,000 people, and is often carried around by tugboats.


    Strictly speaking, it is a mobile land-making project based on the sea.


    Reclamation is generally popular for small countries, and the cost is very low��especially in Sardinia, where the land price is not cheap and development is restricted. The cost of reclamation only accounts for one-third of the land. After completion, the selling price is higher than that of land.


    Sardinia implements strict management on reclamation, because reclamation has both advantages and disadvantages. Needless to say, the disadvantages will cause offshore pollution, death of marine life, damage to the harbor, and affect the natural landscape. There are currently only three regions that the state allows for large-scale filling.


    When the yacht arrives, the man-made island is revealed.


    Viewed from the air, it looks circular with a diameter of three kilometers. It is made into the shape of cascading and undulating petals by the designer. It is divided into two areas: sea and sea. The sea is full of sunshine and green buildings; while the cylindrical base under the sea, 80% is made of transparent glass, diving more than 20 meters.


    People can freely switch between "land" and "undersea" life. There are beaches on land, a large number of coconut trees, and the entire island is surrounded by greenery. Under the sea is a quiet blue, and the transparent glass allows you to enjoy the underwater world. The swimming fish seem to be living in an aquarium.


    There are many parties involved in the cooperation, such as Angle Industries'' nuclear energy technology, engineering machinery, Green Earth''s vegetation technology and protection measures to prevent offshore pollution, as well as government supervision. In the end, they were able to carefully implement their bold urban fantasy city plan on the sea.


    It cost 15 billion US dollars in the whole process, and Anfeng invested 50% of it. The result is obvious. Because of the creativity and wealth of the country, choosing a well-decorated sea city to live and travel in a dream is an excellent place to enjoy. The real estate on the island has attracted countless rich people.


    This is a huge project. With a diameter of three kilometers, it means an area of ??14 square kilometers, which is comparable to the size of a small city! It can accommodate up to 100,000 people, and has all the facilities for life and entertainment on the island, like an enlarged version of a cruise ship��except that ocean travel cannot be carried out.


    There are three hidden marinas on the artificial island, where countless yachts and sailing boats gather. Now it is time to dock for replenishment, and tourists keep coming. Life on the island will never be boring, it has gymnasiums, theaters, cinemas, golf courses, freshwater swimming pools... it has everything a normal city has.


    Here will be a futuristic life, full of creativity and technology.


    It is the second tourist attraction in Sardinia after the Hanging Gardens. During the peak tourist season in summer, tourists flock from all over the world. The capacity of 100,000 people seems to be a lot, but every trip is full, and people cannot resist this novel idea.


    ��


    The yacht stopped at Pier 3, and everyone disembarked. A synthesized female voice can be heard next to the ear, display screens can be seen everywhere above the head, and intelligent voice control can be found in every corner, which can provide play, route and other types of inquiries, and can also call convenient electric vehicles.


    Such a large island, absolutely impossible without transportation.


    After docking, it��s time for their respective plans. An Feng will not be with the young man, he will accompany Joanna to the shopping mall. Since she took the throne, the number of times she went to the mall dropped sharply, only a few times a year. It is inconvenient to appear in public, but there are relatively few people here, so it is still possible to keep a low profile.


    Joanna said to Alice: "Leave the yacht to you, don''t make too much noise."


    "Promise not." She nodded, and put her arms around Fred''s shoulders: "I will take good care of him. There are many people who want to know the little prince."


    "That''s what worries me," Joanna said.


    "Don''t worry, Mom," she said, "and promise to keep him alcohol-free."


    Joanna said: "I hope I don''t see anything about you in tomorrow''s paper."


    "Sure." She nodded.


    "Stop talking, let''s go." An Feng pulled Joanna away, and nodded to the children.


    Alice gave him a thumbs up, and took Fred to another direction: "Fred, let me ask you a question, do you mind being kissed by many girls?"


    "Huh?" Fred was stunned.


    "I don''t guarantee that they will have other feelings for the little prince... But it doesn''t seem very bad for boys, right?" She looked at Fred.


    Fred looked back at the direction his parents left, and felt... not so good.


    "Haha, look at how nervous you are." Alice smiled and put her arms around his shoulders, "Don''t worry, my sister will protect you, my little prince!"

 Chapter 490： Biological Engineering

    Chapter 490 Bioengineering


    To say how big the island is, the feeling of the area may not be direct enough, but if you choose to walk around for a week, it means you have to walk ten kilometers. At the walking speed of an adult, it is about 4.5 kilometers per hour, and you can complete a week. It takes more than two hours.


    In order to prevent the tiredness of walking, the island provides a variety of means of transportation, the most common one is bicycles that can be taken anywhere, which is both exercising and environmentally friendly; the second is to make an appointment through a smartphone and use a battery car; the third is the most popular, Superconducting Suspended Rail System.


    Besides the land environment, it has three undulating streamlined buildings, as beautiful as cascading rose petals. In the center surrounded by three buildings is a large freshwater lake, extending to every area, laying artificial beaches, and playing water sports such as motorboats and high-altitude slides.


    The tallest of the three buildings is more than 50 meters high, and hotels, residential areas, and shopping malls are concentrated inside, and the surface is covered with solar panels to create an environmentally friendly concept. But the daily energy consumption is mainly provided by the nuclear reactors on the two tugboats.


    The tram reserved by An Feng arrived at their location on time. Sardinia allowed specific brands of self-driving vehicles to hit the road five years ago, and European countries have also opened up. Mature autonomous driving technology greatly avoids the occurrence of uncivilized driving and traffic hazards.


    The government of the island city took into account the large number of foreign tourists and dealt with the traffic problem. After the votes of the island residents, the autonomous driving regulations were implemented very early. Incidentally, the island is administered as a city, with the usual departments of government and 15,000 inhabitants.


    In addition to the natural landscape on the road, the biggest feeling is conceptualization. People have entered the future world, surrounded by technology and post-modern style, which can be felt from the exaggerated and unconventional buildings. This is also an area that inspires designers.


    ��


    An Feng walked around with Joanna to relax. In fact, she doesn''t have much choice. Basically, everything she wants is customized by a special person. The only thing is to experience the freshness of returning to the public. Like when I was young, I wandered aimlessly in a sea of ??goods.


    They left the tram, took the elevator to transfer to the bottom of the sea, and reserved the location of the bottom of the sea restaurant. In the side area, you can enjoy meals while watching the underwater world. There are a lot of fish swimming around because of the lights projected around and the device has sound waves that attract fish.


    Simple snacks, two glasses of red wine, An Feng mostly held her hand on the table and chatted with her. Joanna is concerned about events in October, as it marks her tenth anniversary on the throne. Then next year is also a day to celebrate - the silver wedding.


    It will be twenty-five years since the two of them entered the marriage hall. The country will also hold a silver wedding ceremony for the queen and husband, and issue silver wedding commemorative coins. Joanna is now recalling their back then... "I was so naive back then, I just promised you like that."


    An Feng asked: "Do you still want to whet your appetite?"


    She said: "I should be more reserved."


    An Feng smiled: "I think it''s very good, there is no passion without impulse."


    She said: "You are still the same, feeling that you can always find all kinds of fun and confidence, believing that you are still young."


    "You are indeed quite young." An Feng said, "Now is the age of science and technology, don''t look at the future with the old viewpoint of decades ago. The average life expectancy of ancient humans was 40, why don''t you say that 20 years old is middle age Already? Be confident in yourself, and of course your husband."


    "I just like your confidence." She smiled.


    "Don''t think too much, before the enthronement celebration, I''ll give you a gift." An Feng picked up a fork, forked a small piece of cake and brought it to her mouth.


    "Enough is enough," she said.


    "You are not fat, eat more." An Feng said, "Open your mouth."


    She opened her mouth and swallowed slowly, An Feng picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth: "Believe me, a little plump without leaving pure fat is the most perfect. You were too thin for a while, and I was worried Your health. It''s fine now, and you look beautiful in whatever you wear."


    "Sweet," she said.


    An Feng smiled, and she continued to ask: "What gift did you say you want to give me?"


    "We''ll talk about it later." An Feng said, "You will definitely like it."


    ��


    Joanna asked about gifts many times, but An Feng kept his mouth shut.


    Later, she focused on vacationing on the artificial island, which was more interesting than a luxury cruise ship��at least the cruise ship didn��t have that much space. The longest cruise ship was only about 300 meters long, and it was directly three kilometers in diameter. With the expansion of the area, the waterline is not very high.


    So it can park close to the sea, but it is impossible to get to the shore. That night, the artificial island began to travel around Sardinia. It was pulled by two tugboats around Sardinia. Usually it can be completed in two days and two nights, but it will stay in Olbia for one day to see the two miracles of the sky and the land. meet.


    Fred was having fun with his sister. Alice actually lied. Among the dozen or so young people celebrating, there were still male compatriots, and Fred was one of them. The rest are boyfriends from other people''s families. Due to her status, Her Royal Highness''s love life is quite simple.


    ��


    After returning from vacation, continue with their respective plans.


    After all, the royal family is different from ordinary families and has its own tasks. Of the two children, Fred needs to spend a year and a half to complete his professional studies at the university, and then study at a higher level. Later, he will enter the Royal Academy and have his own research topics.


    Alice is also not so comfortable. She majors in finance similar to her mother. After a few days of relaxing summer vacation, she has to go to the company to study. The arrangement is the European headquarters of GP. In order to adapt to the real environment, she will experience a period of ordinary life. human life.


    Joanna''s affairs... as long as she wants, she can arrange it from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. But she usually handles some important ones selectively, such as the Prime Minister''s biweekly government work report. In addition, she also participated in the planning of the 10th anniversary celebration, military parade and so on.


    An Feng continued to study the biomedical warehouse.


    Although this technology is derived from the machine brain, it has to be tested continuously if it is to be foolproof.


    After all, the science of using ray energy to induce the proliferation and division of human cells, if there is an unpredictable mutation, it will definitely have a bad consequence. But the results of the experiments over the past three years have been excellent, without a single error. In fact, it has been successful and the machine is being fully assembled.


    At the end of June, in the biological department of the Royal Academy of Sciences, An Feng personally became the test target.


    The medical warehouse was declared complete and ready for use. He then tested it on himself, and then tested various physical indicators. Hal uses the second-generation quantum computer to perform extremely detailed calculations, and the amount of calculations per second is equivalent to the sum of the calculations of the world''s computers.


    The blood and body tests were divided into seven days, and after seven days, he got a perfect report.


    In early July, he gave this gift to Joanna.


    "Successful?" She said in surprise.


    "Look at me." An Feng stood in front of her, "The current effect is not obvious, because it won''t be effective for a few days, but there are still some changes."


    She stretched out her hand and touched the skin on An Feng''s face, then to his neck and arms, and exclaimed: "It''s silky and elastic, it''s amazing!"


    "I know it''s a bit of a thing to look young... but I still did it." An Feng said with a smile, "Want to try it? It''s already arranged."


    "Yes." She nodded firmly.


    Before the official start, there is still some preparation work, An Feng also explained to her clearly: "Biotechnology can slow down the aging of cells and return the years, but it is inevitable for people to age slowly, and the current technology cannot restore you. By the age of eighteen or nineteen."


    "It''s not good." She shook her head, "I''m suddenly as young as Alice, it would be scary."


    An Feng smiled: "But it should allow you to maintain the appearance of your thirties for a long time. I think you also prefer this age group. Both physical and personal charm are at the peak, plus some makeup , your people will not feel the change is too abrupt."


    She said: "I like that age group."


    An Feng said: "You don''t look like you are only thirty-five years old now, and the bio-drink has always helped you maintain a good state."


    In the end, Joanna participated in the project. She removed the clothes on her body and lay down in the medical warehouse in its original state. Except for An Feng, the only man on the scene, the assistants were all women. They would keep the process strictly confidential. Privacy, especially to the Queen.


    An Feng put on white gloves and stood next to her to check the machine. The voice came out from the mask: "Don''t be nervous, the process is like a spa, very comfortable."


    "Close your eyes and sleep." An Feng said to her.


    She closed her eyes, closed the transparent glass of the medical cabin, and the machine began to scan her whole body. The quantum computer analyzed DNA and constructed a unique biological treatment template��aging is also a disease. In terms of cell processing, the bioprinter can print individual somatic cells based on her DNA, implant them in the body, and at the same time eliminate the cells that are forming a chain aging reaction, and then use energy to accelerate their division and proliferation. Soon, young cells are everywhere. They will continue to divide.


    Then there is the treatment of the body skin, the bio-printer will laser eliminate the aging cellulite according to her skin characteristics and DNA, and the printer will create a layer of natural lipids on it. This keeps the skin supple and elastic, hydrated, and full of moisture��unlike normal beauty, this layer of lipids is taken from her and grows on its own.


    So this treatment plan is unique. If another person uses her plan, the physiological characteristics and DNA will definitely not match, and it will not exist for a long time, or even be rejected. But now it is equivalent to the input of fresh blood, with complete self-creativity.


    The surface and skin are only the first stage, and then there are bones, internal organs, etc. After scanning, an appropriate plan is selected to promote cell division and decline, and then various types of cells created by bioprinters are implanted in the body, and then Catalytic division proliferates, slowly becomes more...


    This process is not very fast, and it can be completed immediately like in the movie. The whole process is divided into three courses of treatment, which are carried out once a week. After the course of treatment, the whole person will usher in reverse growth, pushing back the time to her thirties, and can repeat it after ten years of walking.


    This kind of treatment costs millions of dollars at a time. According to An Feng''s prediction of future science, the technology will gradually face the society in about 30 years, and more people will be able to enjoy it in the 22nd century. But at present, it is only a luxury tool for a few people, the top rich.

    Chapter 491 Possibility of buying an island


    The first course of treatment was very slow, and only An Feng was waiting in the ward.


    Two hours later, Joanna turned over and lay down on the medical cabin bed according to the prompts. The machine repaired the back, and then turned around... The whole process took about four hours. During the whole experience, she felt that her muscles were relaxed and she felt like enjoying a massage.


    After the end, the medical cabin opened automatically, and An Feng stepped forward: "How do you feel?"


    "It''s great, like sleeping in your arms at night." She described it.


    "When did you learn these sweet words?" An Feng smiled and pressed the screen next to him, the result data popped up, and his eyes scanned it.


    "All right?" she asked.


    "Very successful." An Feng nodded, "Now get out of bed and see the surprise."


    Joanna walked down without putting on any clothes. She stood in front of the mirror and began to touch the skin on her body and the places where she felt changes. An Feng said from the side: "It''s not immediate. The seeds that induce changes have been sown, and they will grow in the future."


    "It''s not bad." She was very happy, "Look, the spot pigment deposited on my chest has been cleaned up, and the circle of folds here has disappeared, oh! And the elbow, the last time I fell on a horse, I needed seven stitches , Now the imprint is gone! New skin?"


    An Feng came over to take a look and nodded: "It''s a medical warehouse, and biological beauty is one of its functions. When it detects damage to your body, it will automatically repair it. Like this kind of trauma, it will remove the damaged skin, Re-implants cells and skin tissue and fuels growth with energy."


    "Visible to the naked eye?" she asked.


    "Yes, small injuries are generally quick, even severed limbs - we have tested on animals, and new ones can be completely regenerated in three days, and even hair can be implanted, sweat glands can be urged to secrete biological odor, and active skin can be treated Aging and wear-resistant treatment."


    "It''s like magic," she said.


    "This is made of money, not magic." An Feng said, "Your treatment alone cost millions of biological materials, not including the use of quantum computers."


    "How do you want me to reward you?" She stepped forward and put her arms around An Feng''s neck, "I feel full of youthful vitality now."


    "Dress honestly." An Feng patted her elastic buttocks, "This kind of occasion is not suitable, unless you want to experience a special environment."


    "Not honest." She smiled, kissed An Feng''s lips, and asked, "Is it even the teeth in the mouth?"


    "As long as the aging trend is scanned, it will be processed." An Feng thought for a while, and then added: "Oh, and one more thing, if the aging is serious, it may fall off, and then usher in the second replacement of teeth in life. Be careful of missing front teeth Oh, my noble Majesty the Queen."


    "Huh?" Joanna touched her mouth, "Probably not."


    "It doesn''t matter, we have fast-growing technology." An Feng smiled, "Now put on the clothes, and I will save the cheap ones for myself."


    She turned around to get her clothes, and when she changed into a skirt, she suddenly asked, "Well, is it inside?"


    "Try it back and you will know." An Feng smiled, "But I want to say, please don''t get too excited, there is a limit to being young."


    "My God!" She rushed over excitedly.


    ��


    In the next three weeks, the changes were particularly evident in two people.


    This is the difference of biotechnology, the general cosmetic plastic surgery, even taking poison and exchanging blood, etc., only take effect within the healing cycle, and the effect will gradually fade, but the biotechnology that goes deep into the root, it is more like a life designer, It will develop freely according to the biological structure.


    A youthful vitality emerges from them, full of energy, always enthusiastic and patient about everything, if it is not for the accumulation of memory in his head, he cannot believe that he has lived for more than fifty years from his young body, this kind of creature Technology is really against the sky.


    According to An Feng''s understanding, under normal laws, it may take more than a hundred years to develop.


    Now significantly shortened��too bad the barrel principle is too restrictive. How much water can be held depends not on the highest, but on the shortest plank. It is necessary for the whole society to keep up with the pace of technology, so that this kind of technology can be popularized. At present, it can only burn money.


    But now he doesn''t care about that... because some people are having sex.


    The sweaty An Feng moved away from her, lay on the side, and gasped: "Hi...do you think we have gone too far in this regard?"


    "No." She closed her eyes, feeling the previous madness, "I just like this kind of stimulation."


    "But it''s daytime," he said.


    "Really?" She turned her head and looked out of the window, but unfortunately the curtains were drawn, and the cold air outlet of the central air conditioner was constantly spraying air to reduce the temperature of the room.


    "Yes." An Feng turned to look at her, "Do you know how wild you are?"


    She smiled: "You asked for it."


    "You dressed so **** on purpose, and you bent over to pick up something in front of me." An Feng said, that pose was purely seductive.


    "Is there?" She began to play dumb.


    "I still don''t admit it!" An Feng hugged her, "Let me see your...hair is not bad recently, and the roots are all golden yellow."


    "I figured it out a long time ago," she said. "There are surprises every day."


    "This is unexpected." An Feng said.


    Joanna said: "Do you consider dividing some of these functions? I know it is difficult to have the complete functions of the medical warehouse, but if it is dedicated to simple or superficial aspects, it can also promote the progress of the medical level. Slowly. Give people room to accept."


    An Feng said: "It should be possible. After all, beauty-loving women now have bio-drinks for every meal. Rejuvenation is already a trend."


    She asked: "But have you considered commercialization?"


    "You can do this if you want, it''s an advance notice to the whole world." An Feng said, "It can be used for minor injuries and ailments, and the rich who pursue uniqueness may like it."


    "There are also hospitals, especially beauty hospitals. They will like this kind of equipment. You divide it into two parts. The scanning part is easier, so it is popularized first, and the healing part is the hardest. Wait for the technology to mature and the cost to decrease. Then spread it to the world.��


    "Listen to you." An Feng said.


    ��


    An Feng never minds as long as it can bring profit and conform to the development of science and technology. But he didn''t think about this aspect too carefully. The person in charge of the research team will make a more detailed split plan, which is currently in charge of Keith��this old man in his seventies and eighties looks like he is in his fifties now.


    There is no doubt that he also used the medical cabin, but because the starting point was too late, he could not return to the state of thirty or forty years old, but he was also very satisfied with fifty years old, at least for the next twenty or thirty years, he could keep it like this. Until the end of the years, there will be no transition to natural death.


    In addition to this happy event, the Prime Minister of France paid an unofficial visit in late July.


    Informally, it means that he came here in a low-key manner. The TV station of the roadside news agency did not report, but the website has relevant content. The French Prime Minister arrived in Sardinia and met with the Prime Minister and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. There is no way of knowing what to discuss specifically, and the outside world guesses that it is Corsica''s problem.


    In the past, there were troubles every year, but they were small moves, but now they are huge, and because they chose Sardinia as their target, this is eye-catching��a decade ago, Italy sold Sardinia at a high price , to avoid cases of state bankruptcy. Now the cooperation between Italy and Sardinia is booming, the government has money and has paid off its debts. Subsequent surveys showed high levels of public satisfaction.


    So the French, many people are tempted to sell the rural land that they think is troublesome all day long, and exchange it for a cooperation of hundreds of billions and unlimited opportunities in the future. But they didn''t consider the attitude of the local rich man. Would the queen still be willing to pay a high price to buy it?


    Media from various countries have guessed, and the news headlines are also very eye-catching, such as "The Queen of Sardinia decides to buy Corsica?", "Another unsurpassable legend is born?" and so on. The more serious newspapers were analyzing what the French prime minister might be talking about.


    Joanna did not get in touch with them... because it is impossible for anyone to come randomly, even the queen of the country will entertain them. And it''s an unofficial visit, and it''s just the prime minister. In terms of rank, the queen should be at the head of state level, and she will only come forward when France comes to the president.


    In addition, she was doing beauty treatment at that time, which is what women are most passionate about. She might not be free even if the President of the United States came.


    However, the outside world is talking about the possibility of purchasing the island.


    First of all, the seller is France, both the government and the people have a strong desire to sell; and from the buyer, when it comes to Sardinia, people think of money! In the first few years, people felt that the royal family was really rich, but now in the past few years, people feel that the country is also rich!


    A per capita GDP of 200,000 is a legend. Corsica is much smaller than Sardinia, with little flat land and insufficient resources. According to forecasts and considerations of exchange rate changes, around 100 billion is the most likely��and 100 billion can make France Create two powerful aircraft carrier formations.


    100 billion is not too difficult for the Sardinian government, because their foreign exchange reserves are equivalent to 400 billion U.S. dollars, and the government''s annual tax revenue is more than 200 billion; and for the Sardinian royal family, Even more relaxed, the outside world has estimated their wealth to exceed two trillion U.S. dollars.


    This is probably the richest royal family in history... An Feng didn''t want to, but he couldn''t help it. On the rankings of major financial media, they have occupied the undisputed number one for ten years. but. Even some media statistics exclude them.


    But the possibility of purchasing the island is still not analyzed.


    After the French Prime Minister left, the Prime Minister and the Speaker met with the Queen and reported the details of the meeting to her.


    It is true that they are here for the Corsica issue, but France is not very interested in money. They are interested in Sardinia''s aerospace fighters and cooperation on land on the moon. Sardinia plans to launch a heavy aerospace plane again next year to deliver a second base to the moon.


    But this time the matter is destined to fail. Sardinia will not touch the technology of aerospace fighters at present, which is the foundation of national defense. Even though the relationship with Europe has been very good these years, this is a matter of principle. As for the cooperation with the moon, it can be considered, but the other party is not sincere enough.


    The final result is: continue to wait and see.


    An Feng is not in a hurry. It may be 50 or 60 years before the population of Sardinia exceeds the limit. Those who are not optimistic may experience negative population growth. He still has a lot of considerations about Corsica, and he doesn''t like the high price. It is best not to spend a penny, and only cooperate with him if he is willing.

 Chapter 492： a fly in the ointment

    Chapter 492 A fly in the ointment


    By August, the pair''s biomedical program was complete.


    Compared with the physical state three weeks ago, the change is obvious. I may not be careful when I put on clothes and makeup. Joanna pays attention to maintenance, and with the effect of bio-drink, her face is still very young. And now it is the effect of youth without makeup.


    As for the one who takes off his clothes... no one else can see it. Instead, the two people who are most familiar with each other did an inspection, from the inside to the outside... Very good, the most obvious is the skin, elastic, delicate and supple, orange peel and wrinkled areas are all replaced by new skin.


    If the technology is used for commercialization, it will definitely be hot enough.


    It''s a pity that the manufacturing cost seriously restricts the development. If you want to concentrate such a multi-functional medical warehouse, if you want to operate profitably, the one-time cost will be at least three million U.S. dollars. Quantum computers are not available everywhere. Supercomputers can be topped, but the speed is not fast enough.


    Consider launching a simple version, and then improve it after the development of various fields.


    At this moment, An Feng didn''t think about it. He was riding with Joanna. Joanna''s ''Stephanie'', an eight-year-old mare off Gina, did well. Perhaps it felt the good mood of the hostess today, and its performance was also very exciting.


    "Good boy!" Joanna scratched the horse''s neck, "If it weren''t for the conditions, I really want to participate in the horse racing festival on the 10th."


    An Feng said: "Are you sure everyone is still willing to let their queen gallop on horseback?"


    Joanna frowned... Last time she couldn''t help itching, she fell off her horse in a race in a French manor and was admitted to the hospital. The result was a sensation all over the country, and the people sent out greetings and petitions. Apart from caring, I just hope that she will not participate in such dangerous sports as cross-country racing in the future.


    In the end, she was "banned" by the people of the whole country.


    In the cross-country races, from time to time, people were disabled or even died. People worried that if their queen, who was nearly fifty years old, had any accidents, who would be able to bear it? So in the future, she basically bid farewell to the competition, and can only ride a horse on the lawn to have fun, or appear in simple activities.


    Joanna sighed: "What a pity."


    "Don''t think about these things anymore, everyone wants you to be in good health, I don''t think your age is suitable for such strenuous sports in professional competitions." An Feng advised her, "Why don''t I take you to London on the day of the horse race? Go live for a few days, out of sight, out of mind."


    "No, I want to attend!" she objected.


    "Well, you can attend as you please, just don''t participate." An Feng said, "There are invitations from Arab friends the day after tomorrow. Are you interested?"


    "I will." Joanna nodded, "I want to wear that waist-showing dress, it''s the most suitable now."


    ��


    The day after tomorrow they set off in an electric plane.


    The biggest feature of the gyroplane is that it is quiet, and it is easy to sleep all the way. It is especially popular in European countries. It is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, without noise, and the range is just suitable for the land area. About half an hour later, I came to the sky above Olbia, and I could see the hanging garden from a distance.


    Olbia''s recent development momentum is very strong, because of the opening up of the local area, tourism, gaming, and emerging high-tech film and television production, many film companies have branches here. In addition, there are many mountains in the inland, and the rich like to build villas on the mountains, which has won the title of "Little Hollywood".


    The coastline of Olbia is also a landscape.


    The original undulating mountains have been bulldozed, and sand and gravel are used to fill the sea and land. In addition to the international airport, there is also a huge man-made land on the south bank, covering an area of ??3,000 acres. It is circular in the sky and full of roadways. Tree Beach, with its beautiful scenery, is also a popular residence for the rich.


    There are about 1.2 million residents in the city, half of whom are outsiders. Because of the tourist attraction, the annual passenger flow is close to tens of millions. If the capital''s economic circle is not too fierce, Cagliari may be banned here to become the richest city.


    After the plane landed at Olbia Airport, the special car left through the inspection-free passage.


    With the development of these years, the city has expanded three times from the original basis, attracting countless tourists and the economy, but there are also disadvantages. The increase in tourists makes the local area no longer a peaceful paradise. There are gains and losses. However, there are still many successor cities on the island.


    It was Khalid who invited them.


    The Middle East is very hot in August, and rich people in the Middle East are popular to come to Europe for summer vacation. In addition to Paris and London, Olbia has also become a choice. This place is relatively quiet and suitable, and it is the choice of the rich to cool off the summer heat. There are some luxury cars with license plates in Arabic letters on the street.


    Rich people in the Middle East generally own mansions on man-made land, and their favorite place is the sky garden. The top restaurants above will always have their shadows at this time, and some foreign visitors may also appear in the local racing track... Now Anfeng is going to the sky garden.


    The car is automatically driving on the road, and you can see the spectacle of the tower suspended in the air from a distance without any external objects. It is more than forty meters above the ground, and there are no taller buildings around it, and you can see this magnificent sky city with ancient Greek style from all directions.


    The method of landing is also very novel-superconducting suspension elevator. The same is the unsupported Jiezuo, which has a base, and the corresponding magnetic field on the ground changes the strength to increase the height of the superconductor, forming a lifting effect, just like living in a magical world.


    They and the bodyguards stepped onto one of the elevators, the driver started the elevator, and the power of the superconducting levitation slowly rose, approaching the sky garden. Facing it is a row of stone steps spreading upwards, with huge stone pillars standing at the end, full of ancient Greek style.


    After the elevator docked, they stepped onto the front platform, surrounded by transparent glass to prevent tourists from slipping. The public security police are also active around. Ever since someone had trouble with their minds, there are often police activities here to prevent those guys with headaches from disrupting the environment.


    There are tourists all around, people are taking pictures from the stairs to the main entrance, and they move forward in a low-key manner.


    The sky garden is not big, but its 400 meters long is not inferior to ordinary shopping malls. The building has three floors and two atriums. The front one is relatively large, with a central park and a transparent sky walkway, and the rear one is relatively small, mainly containing high-altitude restaurants and the only hotel.


    The atrium in front of it is surrounded by three floors of shopping malls, where some luxury goods are concentrated, such as clothes, bags, perfumes, etc. There are brand stores. Everyone came for the name of the sky garden, and they would walk around a few times. Once inside, women often couldn''t move their feet.


    Because it avoids the post-modern style, Greek-style architecture tends to be legends and myths. In addition to the exaggerated and eye-catching environment, there is also a world constructed by holographic images. Lightning, thunder, and dark clouds often appear above the head, telling you that the gods are about to appear. , false ones.


    The front focuses on play and shopping, while the back is dominated by restaurants and theme bars, as well as the only hotel, which finally meets the theme of the "sky garden"��Arabian style. The inside is like the palace of One Thousand and One Nights, all kinds of rich gold and ivory white shock the vision.


    The Arabian Hotel is invested by Anfeng. Due to space constraints, it only has fifteen rooms, and there are two banquet halls and four restaurants with various characteristics. There is an air display area outside the lobby on the first floor, allowing you to enjoy Enjoy the thrill of stepping on the void.


    The date is located in the suite on the top floor. At 7:30 in the evening, the invited guests arrived one after another. In terms of dress, I don''t see much Arab style, but it''s all Westernized. The visitors are several rich countries in the Middle East that have close ties with the West and are relatively open.


    The arrival of An Feng and Joanna was welcomed by the audience.


    Their circle of friends is very wide. After all, there are only about 20 countries with constitutional monarchies in the world, and the members of the royal family are naturally relatively close. As landlords, it is also a very face-saving gesture for the couple to show up at the same time. An Feng was constantly hugged by them.


    In addition to Khalid and friends of the same age, there were also some young girls and boys at the scene. They probably came out to gain knowledge and meet the influential characters in the royal circle. According to Khaled, there is an Abu Dhabi princess named Hayat who is interested in the horse racing festival in August.


    Joanna chatted with her: "My daughter is also about the same age as you and loves equestrianism. I believe you will have a good chat when you meet."


    Hayat can speak some English: "I also hope to meet Princess Alice, Your Majesty."


    "You are welcome to stay as a guest." Joanna smiled.


    Sit down after getting to know each other. Since it is an Arabian-style hotel, professional chefs are indispensable. The chefs from Lebanon cook for them the Arabs�� favorite roasted whole lamb. It is said that it is often used when entertaining distinguished guests. When An Feng visits abroad, he likes to eat it at state banquets. Roast lamb.


    This dinner was a feast for the guests and the host. Both An Feng and Joanna were no strangers to the Arab world. Their friendship with Qatar and Dubai also made other royal families remember them. The couple are very familiar with the customs and rules there, and they chat freely.


    This should have been a very pleasant gathering, but because of the things on the ground, there were some fly in the ointment.


    When Hayat came to live in the hotel in Olbia, her servant went back to prepare ahead of time when the dinner was about to end, but found that the door of the hotel room had been opened, and there were obvious signs of tampering in the room. A batch of jewelry worth tens of millions of dollars disappeared.


    The nervous servant called to report, and then let others know about the matter.


    Although it has nothing to do with An Feng, as the host of the country, I feel that the hospitality is not good enough. The guests came here because of the reputation, but they were thieves at this time. Even if it gets out, it will have an impact on Olbia''s reputation. So he steps in and gets a call from the chief of police from his aide.


    The prince called the chief of police, and the police immediately dispatched police forces to investigate.


    The initial result is a habitual offender, the other party was observed in advance, and the crime was committed by a gang. This points to a group of Romanian gangs that recently appeared in Olbia. The high crime rate caused by them in European countries is already a consensus. At the beginning, French lawmakers accused Romanians of disrupting local law and order...and were accused of racial discrimination. It can be seen that these guys are notorious in the surrounding area.

 Chapter 493： Immigration and Security

    Chapter 493 Immigration and Police


    The thing that was handpicked was implemented immediately, and for Hayat and his party, it was obvious that they could no longer choose that hotel for accommodation. With such a lax management, even if the hotel gave reasons and apologized afterwards, it is difficult to make up for the fault , An Feng had to wipe their buttocks for them.


    Joanna sent out an invitation: "If you want to live in my private house, it is also very close to Cagliari, how about it?"


    Everyone thanked her for her kindness, but she did not stay in Giovanna Palace. They are going to Cagliari and choose other star hotels to stay in. Perhaps it was inconvenient to stay at the Giovanna Palace considering that there were private matters to be discussed. After all, it was a royal palace, so guests had to be prepared.


    In the evening, An Feng arranged for a plane to send them away.


    For Bianchi, the police chief of Olbia, it was a sleepless night. The country attaches great importance to social security, and the Queen has publicly commended many people who have made contributions to public security over the years and awarded medals in person. At this juncture, something happened under his nose, and the pressure was great.


    Because Bianchi has been in charge of the local police station for many years and has achieved outstanding results, he may be nominated to the royal family and receive the Medal of Honor after the ten-year celebration of the Queen''s accession to the throne. The medal is an honor. Like other residents, he respects the queen very much; secondly, the medal of honor is also equivalent to seniority. into effect.


    The medals bestowed by the Queen every year are very few, at most a dozen, and at least three years. Prime Minister Mancini was awarded the medal by the Queen after a few years in office... Now is his third term, but He once said that he would not succeed to the fourth term.


    Bianchi was thinking wildly on the way to the hotel.


    Not only for honor, but also for future. He took this theft case very seriously in his heart, and his assistants also took various emergency measures��including immediately dispatching the coast guard to block the nearby cross-border waters to prevent the gang from escaping through speedboats and other tools.


    Olbia is only more than 200 kilometers away from Rome, and a speedboat can leave. Offshore law enforcement has always been the focus of the Ministry of Justice. The Coast Guard is an army wearing a "police vest". They have land-based radars, drones, unmanned early warning aircraft, armed helicopters and amphibious landing ships.


    After arriving at the local hotel, Bianchi got off the car. The untimely flashing lights around him lit up, he subconsciously lowered his head to cover his face, and his assistant escorted him into the hotel. Bianchi was dissatisfied: "How did you let the reporters know? Get them out quickly, I don''t want to be in the newspaper the next day!"


    The assistant is also very innocent: "They were already there when I came here, and driving them away openly will have a big impact on the police station..."


    "Okay." Bianchi had a headache, "tell me about the situation."


    "Technicians are collecting all surveillance videos, fingerprints, footprints and other possible evidence. At the same time, we have activated the characteristic data system and are searching in the crime database. If it does not match, we will expand it to the resident database. I believe we will get it soon." Answer."


    Bianchi nodded: "Let the special police prepare as well, we will end the case as quickly as possible."


    "Yes, sir," said the assistant.


    Now it is different from the technological society decades ago. Surveillance cameras are connected to the police��s intelligent system, which can identify people based on faces, voices, and even scanned bones and biometrics. Even plastic surgery can''t fool some instinctive behaviors, such as smiling.


    The hotel does have surveillance, but the surveillance has been invaded, and the same video is played repeatedly. The hotel has a lot of traffic at the main entrance, and the stolen items are jewelry that can be carried with you. Thieves can invade through ventilation ducts and other places...the clues are very clear Difficult to organize.


    Assistant reported: "This is definitely a seasoned and repeat offender."


    "I don''t care if it''s an international robber or something, quickly send me someone to investigate and solve the case!" Bianchi said, he was very annoyed that he didn''t find any good clues.


    As the assistant was about to leave, Bianchi continued: "If necessary, cooperate with the guys in the city to get useful clues."


    The assistant nodded solemnly. No matter where, as long as there are human beings, crime cannot be extinct, the difference is the frequency and the degree of influence. Sardinia was originally unknown and lived a simple life, but now it is so developed and famous, and heroes from all walks of life gather here.


    Olbia, a city with a large foreign population, is the easiest to breed darkness. Violent crimes are easy to hit at the point of the gun. The coast guard in this country is too aggressive, and they might be chased and killed by armed helicopters. Therefore, some relatively soft crimes, such as drugs, illegal gambling, and pimp business, etc. are very prosperous.


    Bianchi also knows that the cancer of society is hard to eradicate - if you kill this gang today, there will definitely be a new group rising tomorrow. Instead of facing an unknown opponent, it is better to keep the one who knows the bottom line. This is the usual trick of the police, provided that no major incidents are caused.


    Maybe it will change in the future, but in a state where the society is constantly improving its structure, Bianchi can''t find a better way to curb crime-true crime-free, and one prison after another will be forced to close, I''m afraid it will have to wait until the capitalists are willing to communism. It is rumored that Sardinia is coming soon.


    ��


    The police are overwhelmed, but they still can''t finish the case at night.


    The next day, the newspaper headlined decisively that there were not many major events in Sardinia, causing major media to talk about the case of a Middle Eastern princess��s jewelry being stolen, and some small newspapers bluntly said that they had obtained police clues, and it was probably done by Romanian criminal gangs. This triggered a series of discussions on illegal immigration and social security.


    People live an easy life. After working eight hours a day and receiving tens of thousands of dollars in salary every month, they use the ubiquitous Internet to discuss at home, on the road or in the park when they have nothing to do. Residents are sensitive to the word "illegal immigration" because it makes social security worse to some extent.


    Illegal immigration has always been difficult to eradicate. Sardinia''s geographical location is too special. It is more than 200 kilometers away from Italy, and only 200 to 300 kilometers away from Tunisia and Algeria. Smugglers can easily use speedboats to land on the coast and flee to the city. inside.


    This time, Olbia was the fuse. Residents continued to discuss the issue of strengthening the investigation and punishment of illegal immigrants, the method of sending them back to their place of origin, and the floating population of political cities. It also extends to the issue of Corsica. If they are merged into Sardinia, how will security be managed?


    The faction that used to be tolerant of illegal immigrants is now being singled out to attack, whether it is residents or congressmen, it feels a bit hard to beat with two fists. On the whole, this country welcomes foreign immigrants to join, but it deeply hates illegal channels.


    It may also be the shadow of the disease disaster that year. The incident was of great benefit to serious members of parliament, who began to publicize their ideas and policies, and proposed drafts to Congress. Some star politicians have also received enthusiastic responses from the people, with very high approval ratings.


    Because Mancini is not planning to succeed as the fourth prime minister, politicians from all walks of life are accumulating popularity.


    ��


    Palace of Moncalieri.


    The news also attracted the attention of the royal family. An Feng, who was trying on the dress for the horse racing festival, was looking forward to it: "One stone stirs up a thousand waves, let''s see how this government handles it."


    "Immigration and law and order are problems that have been accumulated for a long time. This time it is the fuse. Poor Hayat, who was almost named by the media, must not be feeling well now." Joanna was trying on a pair of stiletto heels custom-made for her by the designer. Very patiently handcrafted.


    "Slightly raise your skirt to make your legs appear longer." An Feng said.


    "I think so too." Joanna stood up. The shoes are not absolutely new, they have been tried on for a period of time before this, and there will be a shoe attendant, whose foot shape and weight are similar to Joanna''s, and she will wear the Queen''s new shoes to ensure comfort and will not rub her feet Finally, it was the Queen''s turn.


    "Let''s see what the council can discuss. I guess if there is a fight, I will still find you." An Feng admired her beautiful legs. They are not as thin as bamboo poles. The calves can be thin, but the thighs are definitely thicker than the calves. There must be meat. Otherwise, it''s just thin legs, not beautiful legs.


    Joanna said: "If you dare to come a few more times, I will disband them!"


    An Feng smiled: "It''s a pleasure to hear and see. The public''s support for you is very high. You can do whatever you want."


    ��


    The police station, which was under a lot of pressure, finally made a breakthrough.


    Facts have proved that there are blacks and blacks, and the police have obtained information from the so-called "crowd clues"-but often this crowd is either a police spy or a gray partner. Therefore, the credibility of the intelligence is high, and Bianchi dispatched special police, exoskeletons and drones to be fully armed.


    Because of the quarrel between foreign criminal gangs and local local snakes doing gray business, it was revealed to the police. In addition, because of the Coast Guard''s enhanced patrols in the offshore, it is difficult for them to leave by water. There is always one secret in a hundred secrets, and the police computer locked several people based on sporadic clues.


    After learning about their lair, the rest will be handed over to the special police.


    Because the government is too rich, the special police are also equipped with exoskeletons as standard. The guy with the explosion-proof shield at the front of the special police team is equipped with a reinforced version of the exoskeleton, which can support a huge graphene riot shield with one hand. , The strength of the exoskeleton also makes him as stable as Mount Tai.


    This kind of person is called a "tank", and the team members followed behind honestly, rushing in multiple directions, gunfire bursts all the way, various electronic interference, and sound wave interference appeared...UAV infrared aerial photography provided information...A few minutes later, The fierce battle ended, the police had zero casualties, captured five criminals and shot two dead.


    The stolen goods were also successfully recovered. Princess Hayat��s jewels worth tens of millions were too late to divide the stolen goods, and they were all returned after registration. The police breathed a sigh of relief, and the media also praised it, especially the crushing performance of the special police team, and the information-based battle with zero casualties caught people''s attention.


    The matter of the police is over, but the discussion between the parliament and the public on immigration and law and order has just begun. It is certain that in this country where public opinion is the mainstay, the parliament will carefully refer to public opinions. After all, after the term of this government expires, Mancini will retire, and the next term will be the focus of competition.

 Chapter 494： horse racing festival

    Chapter 494 Horse Racing Festival


    The issue of urban law and order has come to an end, but the discussion on illegal immigration and crime prevention has just begun. The country needs to establish more comprehensive laws to fill the vacancy, especially the issue of police force at the discretion of local governments, especially in large cities. Need to strengthen.


    But the queen can''t control this aspect. At most, she listens to the report of the prime minister and the opinions of the parliament. Whether the following things are done well or not, the eyes of the masses are discerning. Although there is a monarch in this country, it is highly democratized, and residents have the right to vote for important positions such as mayors, councilors, and police chiefs. If the government is not doing well enough, the local council representing the people can still raise doubts. If the situation is bad and the public opinion is strong, the Congress will intervene.


    If Congress can''t handle it...the Queen has to deal with them.


    From the perspective of the entire social environment, compliance with public opinion is reflected in every corner. The opinions of the masses are powerful, and the government must pay attention to them. Whether it is social welfare or living conditions, this place is top-notch, and it has naturally become the happiest country in the south after Northern Europe.


    ��


    On August 10th, the Royal Horse Racing Festival opened on time.


    This year, the Horse Racing Festival is ushering in its eighth edition. From its initial obscurity to its current focus, it uses the old method of the royal family - filling it with money if there is no history. It is also the most effective. Naturally, the Horse Racing Festival cannot be compared with the 300-year-old Esco horse racing in the UK, but during these three days, the rewards of various competitions are irresistible to professional athletes.


    The event will hold three-day equestrian events, horse racing, and a polo game that can entertain the masses. The arrangement is exciting enough. The comfortable outdoor environment is also a good social platform. The various fashions and hats are eye-catching. Even if you don''t know horse racing, watching the scenery is interesting.


    On the morning of the 10th, the racetrack not far from Moncalieri was already overcrowded.


    Gentlemen and ladies from all over the world, and tourists from foreign countries will join this feast of horse racing and socializing. The entrance of the racecourse is crowded with people. The weather in August is a bit hot, with the temperature hovering around 32 degrees Celsius. It is a challenge to wear a gentleman''s three-piece suit outdoors.


    The talented Ans Industry has a solution. They installed a mist cooling system around the racetrack. The machine diffuses the artificial mist to the surrounding area. Using the physical principle of evaporation and heat absorption, it continuously absorbs heat during the diffusion process, which is enough to reduce the environment by 10. Celsius.


    If the weather is suitable, they will also artificially rain a few days in advance to reduce the temperature of the city��even if necessary, their atmospheric processors can force the formation of dark clouds to gather around the racetrack, raining a day in advance, and reducing the overall high temperature.


    This is a combination of burning money and technology.


    Therefore, the whole process of the horse racing festival, the surrounding area of ??the racetrack is very cool, the air conditioner in the box is running for a long time, the large atomization system is also constantly working, Anshi Industry can even prevent global warming, and the atmospheric processor directly interferes with the weather, not to mention these Minor issues with cooling in localized areas.


    At nine o��clock, the royal family��s open carriage entered the venue, and a family of three��because Fred was not old enough, and occasions involving gambling and alcohol were not suitable, were excluded. The queen and the prince are sitting side by side. Today she is wearing a printed morning dress and a hat that is not exaggerated. She has necklaces, earrings, brooches and other accessories on her body, giving people an eternally graceful and luxurious queen.


    The gentlemen and ladies at the scene paid attention, and some even picked up binoculars to observe... Some careful people felt that the appearance of their queen seemed younger, although today she wore heavy makeup, eye shadow, false eyelashes and the like, lipstick It''s a warm, bright red, but it feels vibrant.


    The prince next to him is not so obvious, probably because of his attire. Like other men, he wears a three-piece suit and a high hat. A white pocket square is exposed from the breast pocket of the suit, and a flower is stuck in the neckline. He is facing the crowd wave. He got a very enthusiastic response.


    In fact, there is also An Feng''s consideration. He didn''t let himself look too young. Thirty-two or three-year-old was Joanna''s most beautiful years, and he preferred mature ones. After all, they were all in their fifties, so it was a bit tender. That...so judging upwards that he should be in his early forties.


    Alice is very satisfied with this look, she thinks that her father has a temperament at this age. She also dressed up to attend today, with a beige morning dress, a bright red hat, and a little light makeup, enough for her to control the style of a princess, and she was waving frequently in the carriage.


    The carriage passed by the audience stage unhurriedly and stopped on the other side. An Feng invited the two ladies down. The cameras on the scene would also take some pictures of their looks today. They stood there for a few seconds, amidst the cheers Walk up to the auditorium, which has an area dedicated to the royal family.


    The special host of the racetrack began to broadcast the race and arrangements.


    Everyone in the auditorium can operate through the handheld device, including downloading the program list, knowing the schedule and break interval, placing bets and selecting excellent photos taken by the on-site photographer. The wireless network covering the racetrack is enough for tens of thousands of people to enjoy it.


    The first day mainly held traditional horse racing and dressage competition in the three-day race. There are a total of six traditional horse races, all of which are top-notch hot-blooded horses. Professional riders gather to stage top-level races. Audiences inside and outside the racecourse can log in to the racecourse website to place bets.


    The audience will try their luck to some extent, but there are only tens of hundreds of euros to play, not many big ones, and the rest of the time is either discussing horses or celebrating beer and champagne. In addition to watching horse races, this place is also a place for socializing, where everyone can relax outdoors and broaden their social circle by the way.


    After the royal family was seated, the visiting guests arrived.


    Most of them are old friends, and most of the nobles of the kingdom are concentrated on them. The partners of the consortium, especially those with a focus on Europe, all hold the nationality of Sardinia and have the title bestowed by the queen. Now they each bring their wives and friends to greet each other.


    In addition to frequent greetings, there are introductions of new friends��mostly young. Because the old friendship is not a year or two, the consortium deserves attention is the young blood. Many of them are the younger generation of big families, and the future stage will also belong to this group of young people.


    She is not the crown prince, but men and women are equal, and she will be an important figure in the family in the future. Naturally, she has the responsibility to manage this huge family business, which is also the reason why she is engaged in business. Among them, Roger''s sons and daughters, Edward and Jessica, are all close friends of Alice.


    There is also the newly-acquainted princess Hayat, the two who love equestrianism hit it off right away. William, who is one year older than Alice, is also dressed as a gentleman. He wanders in these aristocratic circles, and Wang Le''s child Harry is among them... The brats back then have all grown up.


    Joanna also has her circle. A group of ladies who are not convinced by the old are gathering to discuss clothes and decorations. It is estimated that men can''t get involved... An Feng left the auditorium, walked around with old friends, and strolled in the viewing area , casually chatting about something.


    Bazel is older than before, seventy-five years old, but because of the maintenance of the bio-drink, he can still move freely. Last year they went hunting together on horseback. The old man is very strong. Using a handheld device, Charlie placed his bet on horse number five for the next race.


    Bazel asked: "I heard that you plan to buy another island?"


    An Feng shook his head: "I am still unwilling to accept the rumors from the outside world."


    He asked: "Why? The French overpriced?"


    ��The price is acceptable to the government, but I feel sorry for asking the price for that place, and there is a more ideal way.��


    Bazel said: "You are a rare royal family in history that does not rely on wars to expand its territory. Other countries have earned their heads and blood for an acre of land."


    An Feng smiled: "I just found a better shortcut."


    "His Royal Highness! Your Excellency the Marquis!" Several gentlemen who came towards them took off their hats and nodded to them, and Bazel chatted with them a few words.


    After Bazel gave up his American citizenship, he also accepted the title of nobility in Sardinia. At present, "Marquis" is the highest title that non-royal members can get. After a few years, the queen will bestow titles on them one by one.


    Bazel''s son, Charlie, will be given a title after becoming a Sardinian citizen, and his two children will come to Sardinia. The Royal Academy of Cagliari is a world-renowned institution. Although it has been established for a short time, it has funds and the support of the Royal Academy, and its strength is unparalleled.


    An Feng looked at Charlie: "How are the two children? Are they coming here?"


    He nodded: "They have long hoped to come here on vacation, and now they are probably in the playground."


    An Feng said: "Joanna likes Margaret very much, the little girl is very pleasing, and she wants to meet if she has the chance."


    "We will definitely visit."


    "The horse race is ready to start." Bazel said at this time.


    They came to the fence closest to the track, and the people who were talking stopped talking and came to the front. Some people picked up binoculars, and some looked up at the live broadcast screen. The racehorses on each track are already in place, and with the command of Qi Run, the racehorses start to run wildly.


    The No. 5 horse that Bazel is optimistic about got the third position at the start, and competed with the second place on the straight line. The first place gradually opened up the distance. When cornering, the No. 5 horse won the second position. Started chasing the number one, but back on the straight track, the number one always kept ahead.


    "Unfortunately!" Bazel was disappointed, "I thought it could become a dark horse!"


    "How many bets?" An Feng asked with a smile.


    "Five thousand ohms." Bazel looked up at the screen. The No. 5 horse won the second place. After crossing the line, it ran a little longer before stopping, which showed that its spirit was very excited. People also like this kind of hot-blooded horse the most. It can''t stop when it gets on the track, and it keeps running wildly.


    An Feng said: "You are one of the few people on the scene who play such a big game."


    "Have gotta have some fun," Bazel said, "like your moon base, which at first seemed incredible, but now it''s all going to come back to please you. I guess your idea of ??Corsica is to use the land of the moon Let��s change it? More than 10 million square kilometers, it��s not easy to defend.��


    An Feng nodded: "You guessed right, I just want to negotiate in this area, you know Europe is very concerned, right?"


    "Imminent," Bazel said.

 Chapter 495： lunar enclosure

    Chapter 495 Lunar Enclosure


    It is said that the Sinclair family and An Feng are the most destined. At first, the old lady favored An Feng like a sixth sense, and then started more cooperation with him, and thus contacted people from all walks of life. Even at the beginning, Bazel doubted whether he had the strength to cooperate with their family.


    He admitted that he was wrong. If it wasn''t for Matthew''s insistence and his mediation to stop the dispute between the fertilizer giants, perhaps there would be no prosperity today. As Matthew said, An Feng is underestimated every time, from an unknown kid to a highly respected dignitary.


    Matthew joked: "I believe he traveled from a time and space in the future to modern times."


    Looking back now, it is a good explanation. But jokes are jokes, the reason everyone accepts in their hearts is the genius and his strong team.


    Bazel is also old now. Although bio-drinks can keep them alive for a long time, including the technology revealed to them by An Feng, people will always get tired. He is currently only in charge of the general direction of the consortium. The younger generation of his family had more contact with the An family.


    This time the kingdom''s horse racing festival, the members of the Sinclair family are basically all present, the old and the young appear on the same stage. In addition to the hereditary titles of nobles bestowed on them by Joanna, as well as the unexpected strength of the kingdom, I am afraid that some family members will have to take root here in the future.


    Walking around with An Feng on the racetrack, chatting and talking, recalling the past. Bazel, just like his mother at the beginning, gradually let go of power and let the family descendants take over the management of this huge consortium. Currently the Sinclair family is the richest family other than the An family.


    Out of trust in Bazel''s ability, An Feng has always looked up to him, including a set of family business philosophy. In fact, these two groups are complementary. An Feng is responsible for exporting technology, and Sinclair is responsible for expansion and management. The two groups have always cooperated closely, and there have been few conflicts.


    Bazel naturally hopes that this close and unsuspecting cooperation can continue to the next generation, and even go further. The same is true for An Feng. He is in the Jianghu, and he has few friends who can''t get along at all. In terms of business operations, without a consortium, he would not be able to handle the stalls all over the world.


    ��


    The three days of the Horse Racing Festival are a time for An Feng to catch up with old friends.


    Everyone is usually busy, and if there is a gathering, it will not be so complete at one time. The members of the several big families of the consortium are all here. Among the dozens of people, more than a dozen of them bear the title of hereditary nobles. These nobles can also set an example. It has contributed to the economy, and its influence is not bad.


    When it comes to Sardinia, the most commented by the outside world is admiration and envy. As a nobleman there, he obviously has a lot of face. The kingdom expands its influence in all aspects, and the status of citizenship is also a kind of honor. For things like face, it is better to create it yourself than to ask for it from others.


    The young heroes get along happily. During the horse racing festival, they even come to the back garden of the palace to learn equestrianism. Alice is a woman in this respect, and the demeanor of a professional player is perfectly interpreted in her. The younger ones also made friends with their own circles.


    Margaret, the little girl Joanna likes, also appeared at the private dinner as scheduled. She is similar in age to Fred and has frequent visits. Charlie plans to send the two brothers and sisters to study in Sardinia in the future, so the little girl Was talking about these things with Joanna.


    "Do you like my frequent visits, ma''am?" She turned to look at Joanna, her eyes and smiles were sincere.


    "Of course, honey," said Joanna.


    "Then I will come here to study in the future��if you don''t find me annoying." She smiled, "I feel very free to chat with you."


    "You are really pleasing." Joanna also smiled, "But I won''t find you annoying, you are just like Alice when she was young, very lovable."


    Alice turned her head and said to William next to her, "She is looking for a future princess."


    "Huh?" William put down the knife and looked at the blonde girl.


    next to Fred embarrassed.


    "Don''t make random guesses!" An Feng on the opposite side warned her with his eyes. But to be honest, Joanna really likes...girls who are not too different from Fred''s age and meet her requirements for appearance and temperament, and often invite them, and Fred is also called.


    I''m afraid this is really the rhythm of choosing a princess.


    An Feng holds a positive attitude towards free love. As a future princess, no matter whether she is born as a commoner or aristocrat, the child''s like is the most important thing... But don''t go too far, for example, if you have a history of marriage and drag your family along Yes, life is depraved or something.


    Not to mention the royal family, even ordinary families are not willing to accept it.


    ��


    In addition to these activities, An Feng also has arrangements for the future.


    It is expected that in April next year, aerospace companies will use their new "exploration" aircraft. This is a nuclear-powered aerospace plane that can carry 20 tons of heavy objects into the sky, with a unit price of 2 billion US dollars. The company manufactures two and plans to set up a second base on the moon.


    At present, all countries in the world are paying attention to this matter, because it is related to the size of the exploitable area of ??the moon. If Sardinia really builds a second base, they will be one step closer to the "more than 10 million square kilometers". Expand the area to about two million square kilometers.


    The Americans are very upset about this, but there is nothing they can do about it. Sardinia is not a soft persimmon. In addition, the three European countries, Britain, France and Germany, are very close to them. Europe also has the idea of ??uniting and strengthening itself. " NATO''s role in the face of interests is limited.


    An Feng is very clear that France does not currently have the ability to independently develop the moon. Although Europe can also land on the moon, they have to set foot on it and build defensive bases, one sky at a time. So France is likely to want to cooperate with Sardinia to develop the "more than 10 million square kilometers".


    Such enthusiasm for developing the moon is not only due to strategic considerations, but also because of the stimulation of Sardinia. Weapons and smoke grenade effects��but a doomed plan.


    Because Sardinia doesn''t care at all, and the United States will show off its tenth generation fighter jet tomorrow, and it has nothing to do with them. Anyway, they just do what they like, exploring the moon. The Americans took the opportunity to promote the exploration of Mars and the construction of a Mars base-Sardinia did not respond at all.


    They just focus on doing things and succeed.


    This is one of the reasons. With the development of nuclear fusion technology, the precious nuclear materials of the moon are known as the focus of future strategic competition, and a new energy source after the complete depletion of oil. Therefore, it is very important to enclose a piece of land on the moon for backup, even if it will be commercialized after a hundred years.


    An Feng did this out of consideration for the long-term future. Strategic reserves are one thing, nuclear energy is very important, and a space force is also a manifestation of strength. Then lay the foundation now, because it has a plan in its heart that may be planned until he grows old, or even further: starry sky exploration.


    The information in his head stays at 99% indefinitely, but some intermittent data show that this will be the answer to why he was chosen, where the mysterious content came from, and where he should go. It is as important as preventing doomsday disasters, if not more crucial.


    He was looking forward to the final answer.


    Even if there is no warning, he is also interested in the starry universe.


    He successfully went into space three years ago, and he has done it three times in succession. He once flew dozens of laps around the earth in the X-2 aircraft of Aerospace Corporation, and experienced zero gravity and spacewalking. He also plans to wear a special exoskeleton armor to land on the moon before the age of sixty.


    At that time, he will be able to appreciate how magnificent the land he circled is.


    He also wants to build a spaceship��with artificial gravity. In this respect, it can take the form of self-rotation, using centrifugal force to create a slight gravity, even if it is only 0.3G, it is better than floating without gravity. The second is a powerful engine that can accelerate the spacecraft to a quarter, or even a third of the speed of light through decades of acceleration-this means that the spacecraft is a giant.


    It may be the influence of high technology in his mind. He wants to build a spacecraft capable of interstellar ocean travel, explore the surrounding area of ????more than ten light years, and see the outside world. But I''m afraid it will take hundreds of years to complete��he doesn''t have such a long lifespan, and this is left to future generations to complete.


    ��


    An Feng''s plan has already been calculated into the future.


    But focusing on the immediate reality, foreign resources have already made many countries tense with the successive test flights of Aerospace Corporation''s aircraft. Those who are capable want to compete, and those who cannot compare want to cooperate...such as European countries, although they are developed, their economic aggregates are large. Can''t play with superpowers.


    It is very important to reach cooperation before Sardinia makes another "moon-earth" trip.


    The United States wants to conduct a high-profile test and win over its friends, but not long after this happened in France, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom actually made an unofficial visit��suddenly, the Sardinian official received the test five days in advance I heard the news, and then the British came.


    This time it is informal, the Prime Minister VS the Prime Minister, and it is impossible to know what to talk about.


    The news channel of Lubianshe did not broadcast it, but related disclosures were made on the website. It is speculated that in addition to the hotly discussed military-industrial mold cooperation in the UK, there is also the recent very popular issue of lunar enclosure. Speaking of enclosure sports, the ancestors of the British were good at it.


    But this time we have to rely on Sardinia. The informal interview with the other party is also for the issue of cooperation. Grind your lips on the price you need to pay. They can play Joanna''s love card, but love is one thing, money is another, and if the two are out of balance, there is no talk.


    The British Prime Minister left after only one day, and then the Germans came. But unlike the sudden unofficial visits of the previous two, Germany had previously cooperated with Aerospace Corporation on some projects. Specifically, Germany was responsible for doing chores, and Aerospace Corporation just lacked parts manufacturers.


    The high-tech industry is not good in the world, but Germany is still the top in the traditional machinery industry. It is a good job to do miscellaneous things-of course, it is cooperation with the outside world, because even if you participate in 1% of the research and development work, it is also called cooperation. It''s just that there are too many people here.


    The outside world also has reason to suspect that there is trickery in it.


    At present, apart from Russia, several countries in Europe that are doing better have contacted successively. In the competition for lunar resources, a single European country cannot compete with China and the United States. And Russia? After Putin died, Mao Xiong was still struggling with domestic corruption. The Soviet Union''s wealth was almost exhausted, and it was difficult to keep up with the mainstream of the world.


    Cooperated with Sardinia and became a breakthrough point in the European aerospace industry.

 Chapter 496： admission

    Chapter 496 Enrollment


    The royal family''s attitude in this matter is very flat, and the government can only keep up with their queen''s thinking, and first extinguish the good wishes for Corsica-accepting the result that the negotiation may fail. But for politicians who want to gain political achievements, they really covet this piece of fat.


    Corsica is not big, but it has more than 8,000 square kilometers. When the human population on Earth skyrockets in the future, this land can accommodate at least tens of millions of people. After a round of virus baptism, there are currently only a few hundred thousand people in Corsica, filled with endless independent elements.


    It''s not that An Feng is not interested, but that there are too many interests involved, and the other party also hides and wants to get more benefits. In this case, it will have a miraculous effect to let them stand high. The frequent contact between Britain and Germany and them will promote the progress of things.


    August passed peacefully, and the beginning of September ushered in the school season.


    Whether it is a middle school or a university, they are ushering in the new semester one after another according to their respective regulations, and new faces come to the campus one after another. Sardinia has a well-developed education industry and a small population, but there are more than ten universities and compulsory education up to the university. Even a private institution like the Royal Academy has various incentive policies for outstanding students, and also provides subsidies for families, education, and living...


    The government has a lot of money. The per capita 200,000 is no joke. The government��s annual tax revenue has grown to a large surplus, and even the weird "capital communism" has emerged. That is: when there is still a surplus in the financial budget at the end of the year, average the funds that have not been spent in the budget.


    This was proposed by several members of the People''s Party. They learned that the government has tens of billions of funds left every year besides the necessary reserves and expenditures. Corruption is there��but it��s rare. The oversight bodies are mutual, and no one is completely safe. Then there is the information society, where funds are disclosed, and everyone can check the government''s financial appropriation details, and the eyes of the masses are very discerning.


    Back to the topic of money, if the tens of billions of funds are shared equally, each resident can enjoy benefits of 2,200 US dollars, and a family of three is nearly 7,000, which is enough to comfortably spend this year''s Christmas. Also because it is not blind welfare, the probability of passing the bill is very high.


    Actually... An Feng also raised his hand in agreement, but although members of the royal family have the right to vote, they never participate in any election activities. Counting it, there are more than a dozen people in his family with three generations living under the same roof... There is no doubt that this benefit has spread on the Internet and caused heated discussions.


    In the end, the natives are at ease, and the foreign residents are envious. The welfare of Sardinia is good enough, but now it is doing this again, it really makes people��s lives hard to live... What��s more fueling is that some people predict that the country��s GDP will reach 1 trillion next year, and the further it goes, the better the welfare will be fear.


    ��


    At the beginning of September, An Feng personally drove the two children to school.


    Behind them were two bodyguard cars, one bright and the other dark. Although the monarch of the country is not as attractive as the head of the government, as a super rich man, plus the influence on the country''s decision-making, the security force still needs to be strengthened... There have been espionage cases against the Queen before.


    Because Sardinia is not aggressive, there are not many such cases, and spies are more likely to target government officials such as the prime minister and the speaker. That time, it was placed by a foreign country after Sardinia showed its muscles. It was discovered in less than three days and sent back to the underwater world.


    Spies are also not easy to mix, especially for countries like Sardinia that focus on high-tech. The equipment used by spies sent by other countries is several generations behind, and it is easy to be exposed and anti-tracked. The spy service specializes in crushing opponents with high technology.


    The two children were sitting in the back seat, and Joanna was telling them about the fun of going to school back then. An Feng used automatic driving and was also discussing with them back then. Soon arrived at the Royal Academy of Cagliari, which is a magical institution with a small number of students, but strong teachers and a high proportion of talents.


    The school doesn��t have an imposing gate, just a few random words are written on the stone next to the main entrance. If newcomers don��t pay attention, they won��t know that they have stepped into the academy. There are no tall buildings inside, and the teaching buildings are of various styles, generally more than three floors, surrounded by green trees.


    "The environment is really nice." Joanna looked out the window, "There are also young faces everywhere."


    "Put on brightly colored clothes and stand with me after getting out of the car, making sure that someone thinks you are a freshman." Alice said in the back.


    "It''s too sweet!" Joanna laughed.


    There are many students on campus on the registration day. Although the enrollment is small, the number of freshmen in their early thousand is still large. The self-driving Maserati moves slowly. Students with suitcases on both sides of the road, or accompanied by their parents, are looking around, looking for the registration place of their department.


    The car automatically finds a parking space and stops.


    An Feng and Joanna put on sunglasses, opened the door and got out of the car.


    The two children are also very yearning. Alice has already downloaded the map on the handheld smart device and found the location of the department. Fred didn''t come here for soy sauce this time. Although there were precedents for going to university at the age of fourteen, it was rare, and he planned to complete his university studies in one and a half years.


    He will spend four to five years after obtaining a bachelor''s degree to obtain a doctorate. During this period, he will be engaged in research projects, and his doctoral thesis may be taken from it. As long as he is capable, An Feng can arrange for him to definitely win the Nobel Prize Work depends on whether he is willing or not.


    But such a fast speed means that other non-professional courses can��t keep up. Fred��s university life is also specially approved, and he will have a dedicated tutor��they have already had contact at the Royal Academy and get along well. Fred only appears in small numbers in public classes.


    In order to let the child have IQ and EQ, Fred does not need boarding. After the academic time is completed, he has many courses and activities exclusive to the crown prince at night, such as occasionally going horseback riding and hunting with his father. Going out with his mother to socialize, exercise and gain knowledge.


    Now the two of them divide the work, An Feng takes Fred to report, and Joanna takes Alice to the other side.


    Strolling on the campus road, An Feng turned his head and looked at the child who was almost as tall as his chin: "If you like this kind of colorful life, you can experience it after you are eighteen or nineteen, but you are still a bit young now Yes. But you know, Dad has your back."


    "I know." Fred nodded.


    As a young man, he is not suitable for a place like a university, but his outstanding IQ makes him have to accept it early. Fred had to look up to his father, and he wanted to be as brilliant as he was, but also have his laid-back attitude...although it was hard to do.


    After walking a short distance, he came to the department where he was located.


    There are also other students here, and they don''t look like they are from their own country. The proportion of international students in the Royal Academy is relatively high, about 40%, because of the policy of attracting talents and immigrants, and there are really not so many excellent students in China, so they can only absorb some of them from abroad.


    Fred also went up to report routinely. A department teacher was instructing each student. They also recorded their voices, fingerprints and scanned pupils on the equipment in front of them, and then left their signatures. The registration was basically completed. Modern technology is still very convenient.


    When Fred''s immature face appeared, other people looked sideways. After all, he was too young. Although he was taller, his face was at most a high school student...but the teachers of the department could accept it. There are not no geniuses, even young ones.


    The only thing is that the visitor has a special identity. The whole country knows their lively half-blood princess, and the prince is relatively rare because he is underage, but the person next to him is undoubtedly the principal. The teacher stood up after judging, An Feng stretched out his hand towards him, Said first: "Nice to meet you, sir."


    The other party understood the meaning and shook hands with him: "Sir, welcome to the Department of Physics."


    An Feng nodded, and Fred was operating the computer on the side, recording his biometrics, and then the data was written into the database, which will be linked to the national database, including personal information, credit, credit overdraft line, etc., which are not required in some cases Bank cards can also be traded.


    Because of the influence of his father, Fred is very special, and his chosen major tends to be theoretical, oriented to nuclear physics, related quantum theory, astrophysics and some biology. It''s impossible for undergraduates to be exposed to that complexity, but the Royal Academy is full of these projects and topics.


    Fred''s foundation is higher than that of ordinary people. After reporting for duty, An Feng talked to him about this issue: "You know that knowledge can never be learned, and work never ends. If you make it the whole of your life, then You''re going to lose more of the good parts."


    Fred was thoughtful, he didn''t quite understand.


    "Just like me." An Feng said, "Maybe saying this will make professionals feel unmotivated, but if I had stayed in the laboratory to study various esoteric theories, then I would not have met your mother. You will not exist, you know?"


    He nodded.


    "You are not playing a role. From the time you choose to assume it, your main role is a crown prince, the future king. Rich knowledge can make you more attractive, but it can''t help you master the qualities required by the main role. You You have to learn to balance it.��


    "Should I give up some?" he asked.


    "People always have to give up. No one is perfect, kid." An Feng said to him, "Choose one you like the most, and it''s enough to specialize in it."


    Seeing the frowning Fred, he smiled: "But don''t worry, your parents are still young, you still have a long way to go in the future, we will help you share many things, including giving you the correct tips, in Helping you when you need it �� even when you might repel it."


    Fred, the child, if the parents don''t guide him, he will probably become a nerd. An Feng has seen a lot from Hoffman, so he has been guiding him to change since he was a child. Coupled with his father''s role model, he is very successful now, and he will be a very attractive crown prince in the future.


    On the other hand, Alice''s report went smoothly.


    She doesn''t have Fred''s high IQ, and her studies are relatively ordinary, but it is good for ordinary people. She is full of expectations for college life, and she chats with a few new classmates, until the mother who is waiting for her has to pull She came over to record the data report so far.


    "Thank you, Mom." She put her arms around Joanna.


    The family''s requirements for Alice are not as strict as Fred''s. They only hope that she can live happily, play her role well, find a suitable partner in the future, and live a happy life. But there''s also something that all parents struggle with... relationship issues.


    "I know." Alice pouted, "My vision is also very high, I don''t like hippies!"


    "What about last time?" Joanna turned her head.


    "There will always be a time in life when you are stupid." She said as it should.

 Chapter 497： tenth anniversary

    Chapter 497 Tenth Anniversary


    After the registration is over, continue to stroll around the campus.


    After being recognized by others, they simply took a tour of the university campus as members of the royal family, and arranged introductions and video records along the way, allowing more people to get in touch with them. Especially the rumors about Fred''s superior IQ have been confirmed by the school to be true.


    An Feng''s opinion is that it might be more appropriate to expose Fred appropriately. Although the royal family is not a star, it is inevitable for a prince to have characteristics and prestige if he wants to gain the support of the public. The mediocre and creative Crown Prince, the latter certainly doubles his charisma.


    After the registration ends, the two children''s completely different college life begins.


    Although none of them choose boarding, Alice''s life is more normal, there will be many friends of the same age, they will discuss each other''s fun, and there will be occasional naughty behaviors in class. On the contrary, Fred seldom showed up, because others couldn''t keep up with him, and he could finish a book in ten days, but he accepted his father''s suggestion, and occasionally appeared in public classes to learn content other than his major .


    Time passes slowly... late October.


    The 25th is the tenth year of the queen''s accession to the throne. They will have an event in the morning. People will spontaneously gather around the Moncalieri Palace to participate in the celebration, and souvenirs will also be sold around. Local residents who live affluent lives are very interested in such things.


    Since last night, the palace has been busy preparing flowers around, and the inside of the palace has also been decorated to make it full of vitality. After breakfast, the female attendants sorted out the queen''s makeup, and the other members prepared their own costumes and prepared to appear on the balcony.


    There are not many commemorative activities for the Queen''s accession to the throne. This time, the people''s emotions are very warm. They will hold open-air celebrations around, singing and dancing, and drinking and talking. The number of celebrations currently registered has reached 200, around the palace, and the expenses are sponsored by the royal family.


    The citizens came here spontaneously, and the expenses were paid out of their own pockets, but the royal family has money, so they don''t care about the tens of millions. They specially added flowers and food, and distributed them to the organizations participating in the celebration according to the quantity and needs. In addition, the queen announced that the royal family will donate 30 million yuan that day to help poor families.


    Strictly speaking, impoverished families belonging to the permanent residents of the Kingdom (including citizens) are extremely rare��once there is one, it will cause a kind of local tyrant to watch and express their condolences. The poverty here mostly refers to the staff who just got the visa, or paid to the social assistance center to help illegal immigrants.


    The country severely cracks down on illegal immigration, but since we stand on this land, we must pay attention to human rights. The royal family is also an example. We do not welcome illegal immigration, but we are not cold-blooded��just follow the normal way. This move won the support of countless people.


    In the morning, four members of the royal family appeared on the largest balcony of the Moncalieri Palace, surrounded by flowers and dense crowds. All eyes were on the balcony. Members of the royal family were also waving, and hundreds of thousands of people outside the square The people greeted and received enthusiastic responses.


    Then the queen made a speech, recalling and summarizing, thanking the people who have continuously supported her. She likes this group of people and this land... As a ten-year review, everyone has gone through ups and downs together, from the initial bankruptcy to the let The royal family revitalizes the economy and performs miracles. People may forget what the government has done, but they will always remember this royal family elected by the people.


    Everyone knows that the country''s economy is entirely driven by the royal family, and it has contributed the most to it. Without them, Sardinia would probably still be just a mess with Italy, hovering in the bottom of the developed area. Although life is rich, it would not have the pride it is now, full of pride everywhere.


    After the balcony speeches, the festivities began.


    The Queen''s family will come out and participate in some activities outside. Bodyguards are also on guard, and people who are too enthusiastic are sometimes a potential hidden danger. But the order was not bad, and Joanna even danced a cheerful local dance with an old gentleman.


    At the end of the music, she stopped with a smile: "Very good, you continue to enjoy this joy!"


    Her closeness to the people and true disposition won applause and cheers from the crowd around her. The video has also become a precious image in the future. It is quite rare to see the queen dancing happily. And she dances really beautifully, regardless of her temperament or image, she has conquered these people who love her.


    After the event, the palace has to prepare for the cocktail party tonight.


    The evening reception invites people from all walks of life. In addition to nobles and dignitaries, there are also many residents who are lucky to be selected, and they can also participate. This will be a fun event for all, regardless of status or wealth, and it is also a set of principles that Joanna pursues to be close to the people.


    ��


    After having some snacks in the evening, you have to start preparing.


    This aspect is more complicated for women. In the dressing room, two female servants helped Joanna make up professionally, drawing eyeliner, applying eye shadow, repairing her eyebrows, and adding some light blush. Alice behind her suggested: "Use pink lipstick, it is very Matches the current look."


    "Ma''am?" The waitress brought out her entire box of custom-made lipsticks.


    "Listen to my daughter," she said.


    Alice looked at the radiant mother in the dressing mirror, and picked up the crown from the side box. It is different from the coronation crown. The throne crown is worn on the head like a hat, but now this one is for women, a bit like a hairpin , is inserted into the hair.


    "Put on the beautiful crown, too." Alice gently inserted the crown into her hair, trying to see how firm it was. "Daddy''s eyes will definitely shine."


    Joanna laughed, and Alice continued: "I don''t talk about other people, do you know why? Because, you only have him in your eyes."


    "Don''t talk nonsense, kid," Joanna said.


    "Don''t dare to admit it." Alice leaned up from behind with a smile, and put her hands on her shoulders, "As the saying goes, ''a woman is the one who pleases herself'', I am afraid that thousands of compliments from others are not enough for my father'' I like ''more beautiful. You care about his attitude in every way."


    "Emotional expert, are you going to give me a lesson?" Joanna said jokingly.


    "Although I don''t have rich emotions, and I''m still a child who doesn''t grow up in your eyes, I still understand a little bit. The expressions you two occasionally look at each other are written with love. The outside world said that no matter how you pretend, If you don��t have true feelings, you can��t do this step.��


    "I know so much!" She laughed.


    "I really envy you, mother." Alice put away her smile and said, "I also hope to find such a match-like person, but unfortunately people outside say that you are a real fairy tale, although the beginning is different, but the end is the same. Not many people will be able to replicate that."


    Joanna grabbed her hand on her shoulder and looked at the person in the mirror: "It seems that my Alice has also reached the season of longing for love."


    "What''s the ''season''?" Alice laughed again, "You said it, the law of nature. I didn''t intend to let myself be captured by the ''wild boy'' so easily. I am looking forward to a gentleman who is better than my father , so that you will be impeccable, and I will no longer be naive."


    "I just hope you don''t get frustrated and hurt," she said.


    "I know." Alice leaned down and kissed her cheek, "so I love you, Mother."


    Joanna knew that the child would grow up day by day after all, she said with a smile: "It''s my little princess'' turn, and there will be many young heroes in the future."


    "Okay." Alice took her seat, "Mom, I want to use your necklace."


    "As long as you like it." Joanna took a few ribbons from the side attendant, "Honey, what color and style do you like?"


    "It should be thinner, and the color matches my dress." Alice sat up straight, and the maid put the ruby ??necklace on her neck.


    "This one, the light blue of the lake." Joanna took out one of them.


    "Okay," said Alice, "and Mum, why do we all wear ribbons and medals?"


    "European traditions, symbols of the family and the royal family." Joanna explained that when members reach the age of eighteen, they will receive medals, and Alice also has one.


    "Then why isn''t there a set style?" she asked.


    "Because we didn''t completely follow the tradition." Joanna said, "Actually, this light blue with bright yellow border is our family''s exclusive ribbon."


    "Oh." Alice stood up, and the attendant wanted to take the ribbon from the queen, but she said, "I''ll do it, I haven''t done it myself for a long time."


    "My pleasure." Alice smiled.


    "The family''s wearing habit is from the right shoulder to the left crotch. Don''t reverse it in the future, so we may repeat it with other royal families." Joanna put the ribbon on her, "Mary, please give me an animal brooch, The little squirrel''s, gold. And the princess''s medal."


    Servant, Joanna helps her pin the golden brooch on the ribbon on her right shoulder, and then wears the medal on her left chest. The whole process is standard.


    Joanna looked at her ladylike daughter and nodded, "Not bad!"


    "Mom, let me help you too." Alice said.


    It took some time to dress up inside, and it was nearly eight o''clock when he came out. An Feng, dressed in a suit and complete with ribbons and medals, was waiting outside. Alice asked them to take a group photo together, emphasizing: "We two ladies will sit down, and Dad will stand behind us."


    "There are so many spooky ideas." An Feng stood behind them, leaving images in the corridor.


    The cocktail party is held in the banquet hall, where dignitaries and ordinary people gather together, and the various dresses and jewelry for ladies are also eye-catching. The main gate opened, and the attendants stood on both sides, and another person reported: "Queen Joanna, Her Royal Highness Prince Alessio, and Her Royal Highness Princess Alice!"


    The crowd at the scene was solemn, facing the direction in which members of the royal family came. The queen looked at the crowd on both sides with ease and smiled. Alice followed her parents and shook hands with some people. The princess''s demeanor was in place. The young people at the scene also frequently paid attention to the salute.


    An Feng compared his feelings with that of ten years ago. Now the scale is more grand, and the participants are more enthusiastic. Even foreign guests will salute the royal family members. In exchange for this respect, there is no doubt that strength and influence. If they hadn''t taken this path back then, what would their future be like?


    I''m afraid it will not be as exciting as it is now, and the legend will not continue.

 Chapter 498： Military parade [three shifts]

    Chapter 498 Military Parade ��Third Watch��


    The atmosphere of the cocktail party was relatively relaxed. After Joanna made a few speeches, she let everyone enjoy tonight. At the same time, there will be performances by pianists and tenor singers, creating an elegant royal style. For the participating guests, it is also a visual and auditory feast.


    Of course, if someone can let go, it is also a feast for the taste.


    Cocktail parties naturally have exquisite buffets, but gentlemen and ladies are paying attention to their image or busy with socializing, neglecting these delicious foods. An Feng looked at it with pity, and when he walked towards the long dining table, a familiar figure was also picking out delicious food with a plate.


    "Hey!" An Feng stood next to him, "Excuse me in public?"


    Wang Le swallowed a piece of exquisite cake: "I came from Switzerland non-stop, and I didn''t even have time to drink my saliva. What do you care about?"


    "Forgot the time?" An Feng also picked up the plate.


    Wang Le said: "The flight was delayed due to the weather, so I came here by the high-speed train. After all, this is the first time the child has appeared in the royal social circle, so I have to make a good impression."


    An Feng turned around and found Harry in the crowd. He was one year younger than Alice, but tall. He was chatting with some friends.


    "How is it?" Wang Le asked.


    "That''s right, an outstanding young man, he will definitely attract many girls in the future." An Feng nodded, "What are your plans for the future? He will graduate next year."


    "Come here." Wang Le said, "If he has the ability to pass the exam��how much will he sponsor?"


    An Feng shook his head: "Don''t be so blatant."


    Wang Le said: "To put it bluntly, our brothers have been here for decades, longer than you and Joanna have known each other, and you still care about these red tapes?"


    "There are many people at the scene who can understand Chinese." An Feng smiled, "Okay, there is no shortage of one quota. I will greet you when I find the time."


    "This is worthy of our friendship." Wang Le said, "I will donate a library to you later."


    A lot of friends from both sides came to enjoy in a relaxed atmosphere, and then listen to the beautiful voice of Italian soprano, and then a piece of elegant and brisk piano music...a perfect cocktail party came to an end. Before leaving, Wang Le asked: "Is there a military parade in the next few days?"


    An Feng said: "The morning of the National Day."


    Wang Le said: "My child is interested in these military equipment and has long wanted to see it."


    "He used to discuss with me all morning about firearms and airplanes. He was so enthusiastic, why did he insist on going to an ordinary university? Wouldn''t it be better to choose a military academy?"


    "The key is that he likes the equipment and weapons here, probably because he has been in contact with you a lot."


    "I never instigated it." An Feng was very solemn, and changed the subject: "But it''s okay, there is a military academy in Sardinia, and four years of study counts as four years of service, which directly meets the requirements for naturalization. I asked some elders to lead If you mix with your subordinates, you may be able to control thousands of troops in the future."


    "Thousands..." Wang Lehan, "Do you have five thousand now?"


    "It happens to be." An Feng nodded, "But in modern warfare, a few soldiers can paralyze the enemy through intelligent machines, and the number is no longer important."


    "I''ll have a good talk with him later." Wang Le said. Because he is an experienced person, he doesn''t care how much family property his children must inherit. The first thing is to live freely and happily. He has done this before, and his children are probably taught in the same way.


    ��


    After the Queen''s enthronement celebration, the National Day military parade will soon be ushered in.


    The last time was last year, when it was the 10th anniversary of the founding of the country, this time it was the commemoration of the Queen''s accession to the throne.


    The armed forces of the sea, land and air are all under preparation. Unlike in the past, because of the expansion of the number of troops, the matter of the army representing the whole army has come to an end.


    This is also the result of the parliamentary discussion. Beware of the military''s dictatorship. It is a bit inappropriate for a commander-in-chief to monopolize the three armed forces. Gu Li is also enlightened, he is too lazy to worry about sea, land and air affairs, he only does his duties as a national defense committee member, and he is an officer mostly because of An Feng.


    But he also experienced a lot of fun from it. Watching the troops he cultivated grow stronger, the soldier''s honor and sense of accomplishment are extremely strong. When he had conflicts with the U.S. military many years ago, he had a furious temper, defied all opinions, and demanded that the army not retreat even a single step!


    At that time, someone suggested that under the current situation, try to be restrained and avoid friction with the U.S. military, but Guli slapped the table and said that he would not back down even a single step. If they dare to send military planes, Sardinia will show its bear claws , without hesitation to tear the enemy into pieces.


    As a result, EMP took down the high-speed reconnaissance plane of the US military.


    Then in exchange for the cooperation and support of the EU powers, in exchange for the stability and stability of the current national defense environment.


    The Queen awarded him the Medal of Honor in a high-profile way, in recognition of this behavior. When internal views were opposed, the parliament was uncertain, and Joanna immediately expressed her attitude: the intrusion of foreign military planes was tantamount to aggression, and if the government had no solution, she would exercise military power in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution.


    So it is the royal family that supports Guri.


    Since that incident, the military has been ruled by the hawks. In line with the attitude that no one offends me, I will not offend others. Although the country is inconspicuous, it is by no means capable of wanton oppression. Since then, they have organized many military exercises. The combination of sea, land, air and space shows the strength and seriousness of the counterattack.


    The United States also found out afterwards that this was a bone that was not easy to crack. The key is that Europe is looming towards Sardinia, and they don''t need to tear their faces because of a small country. Later, Sardinia''s military rise and at the same time armed the surrounding countries, making it even more difficult to provoke.


    ��


    On the morning of the National Day, the review site was in Moncalieri.


    The reviewing troops will pass in front of the palace. The square is already crowded with people, and both sides of the street are tourists and journalists from various countries. The flag of the cross, the tiger flag of the royal family and the military flag of Sardinia were raised above the Moncalieri Palace, and the large balcony was also decorated with flowers.


    Because the grand event was held last year, repeating the old routine will cause visual fatigue, so this year''s event is relatively streamlined.


    At nine o''clock in the morning, the queen appeared on the balcony, the national flag was raised in the square in the front yard, and the national anthem was played at the same time, and then Joanna announced the start of the parade ceremony. Following her off the balcony, Maserati''s long-wheelbase parade car specially built for the queen appeared on the other side of the road.


    The reviewing troops set up a phalanx, and the parade vehicles passed by, and they saluted with attention.


    The military parade is relatively simple. Let the queen appreciate the morale of the army and the enthusiasm of the audience on the side of the road, and wave from time to time. The young men who practice all day in the army are very energetic, and the drum band is also enthusiastic. The parade car goes around , the military parade was completed.


    There are not many highlights in the military parade, and the highlights are all concentrated in the parade.


    The queen returned to the Moncalieri Palace, and the royal family members appeared on the balcony. Women are all morning gowns, but An Feng changed into a black air force uniform today. There are relatively few occasions where he wears military uniform, and the military parade is one of them. After all, he holds the positions of Field Marshal, Navy Marshal and Air Marshal.


    The conferment of the military rank was once arranged by Joanna, and the reason why he didn''t wear it often was that he had no service qualifications, and he always felt that he was not worthy of his name. But he plays with guns more frequently than ordinary soldiers. He has driven armed helicopters and fighter jets, and has been in space.


    The prince put on a tailor-made military uniform very well. Because of his strong body, he has a good mental outlook. The black uniform is covered with medals, and he wears military ranks and ribbons. He stands solemnly on the balcony, accepting the attention of the audience and the camera. , The two children are also very quiet.


    The first troops to be inspected are the honor guards of the three services, which are often seen by foreign leaders when they visit. After they walked through the square, they ushered in the army''s foot team, wearing exoskeletons to go into battle.


    Because it is streamlined, the essence is always used for review.


    The country has the largest army, with 3,000 members, and a large number of amphibious services; followed by the Air Force, with about 1,200 members, but only helicopters and transport aircraft, and the rest are drones; and then the Marine Corps, with about 300 members, Finally, the navy, about 230 people.


    The number seems to be small, but for the smallest navy, it is actually mainly civilian and technical personnel, and the rest are officers. As for warships... due to their terrifying acceleration capabilities, ferrofluid battleships are not something humans can bear. So use robots across the board.


    Wearing an exoskeleton and passing by with an electromagnetic gun, the army team got the focus of the camera. In recent years, exoskeletons have been gradually researched by various countries, and they have been regarded as the standard for individual soldiers in major countries. The five majors are often the first to be equipped, which has widened the gap in individual technology with other countries.


    After the army team left, amphibious special forces appeared. Unlike the previous army, they also added exoskeletons, but the exoskeleton was connected with a layer of armor��graphene material. Graphene protective armor is added to important parts of the body.


    There are not many ground military types, and the mechanized equipment formation behind them is eye-catching. There are ground electromagnetic guns, which are composed of tractors and energy vehicles, and can carry out mobile ground artillery strikes; then there are ground-based dead light weapons, generally Implement missile interception.


    Finally, there are some missile launch vehicles, both of which are medium-range and long-range. The warheads carried are conventional warheads, and some carry EMP warheads. The outside world believes that they have hydrogen warheads. There is no data released, and the official does not admit it. Finally, there are ballistic missiles. Because of the development of the aviation industry, intercontinental ballistic missiles are a piece of cake for them, and now it is more popular to play aerospace fighters.


    After the inspection of the ground troops, the more exciting air link is coming.


    First ushered in the UAV formation, a group of F200-ER fighters placed in the air at a precise distance to form the word "10" to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Queen''s accession to the throne, and then a group of more advanced F300 models, their area Not much has changed, but it can be carried by a TF-50 transport aircraft.


    That is, "aircraft carrier" - but it is not a surface aircraft carrier that rises into the air. It is actually a heavy transport aircraft. The special opening in the cabin can accommodate ten drones, including ammunition replenishment and aerial refueling. It is the backbone of long-range strikes Power, usually can be used as a transport aircraft.


    Soon, two TF-50s staged a performance of how to put the F300 in their stomachs. Human pilots cannot achieve such precision. Only the computer that controls the transport plane and the UAV at the same time can accurately measure the distance to centimeters. , otherwise there will be a tragedy of mid-air collision.


    The wonderful performance won cheers from the crowd on the ground.


    Behind, the ground casts a shadow, and two huge planes fly over at low altitude. They are the top technology of the Aerospace Corporation, and they are also fighters jokingly called by the outside world to "maintain the peace of the solar system" - XF-5 aerospace fighters. It is unmanned, capable of leaving the atmosphere, and can fly at an ultra-high speed of Mach 20 using special fuel. After the future moon base is completed, it can be refueled there.


    Aerospace says it can reach Mars orbit and conduct a strategic bombing.


    Because when it comes to space, the resistance is negligible��it can keep going until there is an external force in the opposite direction to make it stop. Theoretically, as long as XF-5 breaks through the atmosphere, it can use the gravity of the planet to accelerate and travel faster in the solar system.


    The theory could be stronger��thanks to the company��s ��Discovery�� nuclear-powered aircraft, the next generation of aerospace fighters will use fusion propulsion��maybe it should be called a ��Battleship.�� Coupled with the high-orbit base on the earth, as long as there is enough time, maintaining peace in the universe is not a problem.


    This is also the reason why all countries are afraid. This thing is too lethal. Only the laser can catch up to it after it is lifted into the air. However, the protection of the graphene surface layer can only kill it. It can''t be mentioned, it is invincible at present.

 Chapter 499： strategic alliance

    Chapter 499 Strategic Alliance


    After the wonderful and ground and air review ceremony, the military parade of Moncalieri came to an end, and finally there was a salute session, which was launched by the warships in Cagliari Naval Port, and fired into the sky. The two warships fired ten shots in total. Celebrating the Queen''s tenth anniversary on the throne.


    There are programs on the harbor side, and tourists come and go.


    In addition to paying attention to the Army Air Force, foreign journalists are also very yearning for the unconventional design of the Royal Shipyard of Cagliari-their warships feel like...submarines. It is usually only about one meter above the water, and with a gray body, it is easy to be ignored without turning on the navigation lights.


    There are two lazy ships moored in the military port. They were motionless during the military parade in Moncalieri, but foreign journalists and local residents know that these two ships are nuclear-powered cruisers with a displacement of about 10,000 tons. A small piece, or sink in the water.


    According to official data, its power system is a magnetic fluid propeller, which does not use conventional propellers or water jet propulsion, but two superconducting parallel guide rails, and the magnetic force generated after electrification pushes seawater. In the submerged state, the fastest speed reaches 130 knots, and the fastest surface is 100 knots.


    At present, the Ford-class aircraft carrier in the United States has a maximum speed of about 40 knots, and the destroyer of the aircraft carrier fleet has a speed of about 45 knots. The concept of 130 knots (about 240 kilometers per hour), the fastest torpedo can''t catch up. Just as unmatched as an F1 Jet Ski.


    This also explains why the cruiser dives into the water, only revealing a small section. If it is all on the sea surface, the wind resistance is too large, and it is difficult not to reach such a high speed, so its design is sharp knife-shaped, which is convenient to break through the sea water in front when accelerating forward.


    However, no matter whether it is 100 knots on the water surface or a faster speed underwater, it is not something humans can bear for a long time. Sea surface navigation is different from land. The speed of a warship at 40 knots is already very bumpy. All throwing up and enjoying the trip.


    So these two cruisers are operated by robots, with robot rails installed inside. A unit of machine has multiple arms, without a cumbersome body, and can maintain battleships and detect faults more efficiently than humans. There will be no such state of "physical discomfort".


    In terms of weapons and equipment, the official published data is relatively simple. It is equipped with a 128-unit vertical launch system, which can use missiles of different specifications and is compatible with some mainstream NATO models; it is equipped with three electromagnetic guns, one dead light gun, and There are electromagnetic interference systems.


    The outside world claims that this thing is used in conjunction with the XF-5 aerospace fighter-it is also impossible for people to catch up.


    This is the first time that housekeeping weapons have been shown. After the military parade in Moncalieri, the two warships surfaced about one meter above the water. There is no doubt that it adopts a radar stealth design.


    The gun barrel was raised high, and accompanied by the sound of electric shock, two salutes flew into the air at supersonic speed, exploded rumblingly, and fired a second volley two seconds later...Foreign reporters and spies have been pressing the shutter, hoping to get More information, but after five salvos, the battleship dived to the bottom of the water and left in a low-key manner.


    ��


    The Queen''s coronation commemorative military parade ends here.


    The projects displayed are not as many as last year, but they are all elite and world-leading on stage, whether it is ground forces or air, or the mysterious seabed, they are all unique. Although some American media are singing bad news, Europe is uncharacteristically optimistic.


    Reason...they delivered the order.


    The European members of NATO and North American members have gradually diverged in values, first reflected in their vague attitude towards Sardinia, and after more cooperation in the future, they have already protected them and even invited Sardinia to join NATO - but they are not very interested.


    Thoughtful European powers actually don��t want to be the younger brother of the United States in NATO, so they only had a few symbolic invitations, and then there was no follow-up. At present, France is eagerly trying to obtain technology from Sardinia. They are very envious of China, which buys technology at a high price.


    France can also pay a high price, but they intend to barter.


    Since the last unofficial visit failed to achieve effective progress, the matter has shifted to the bright side. After several conference calls, the leaders of the two sides discussed with each other about strategic cooperation and territorial issues, and then talked about the development of resources on the moon. Hope to catch the last train.


    Facts have proved that this is as bad as Anfeng''s use of the super grid to tantalize his appetite many years ago.


    Super grid... Finally, when Sardinia was showing off its inexhaustible electricity, and Italy was walking around with its tongue sticking out, other countries also showed their favor one after another. For the future energy supply of Europe, the multinational group sat together and negotiated... The result made An Feng very satisfied.


    The last part of the super grid ended in June last year. The tax contribution of this contribution is very considerable. Thanks to the blessing of the royal family, the Sardinian government will be able to collect taxes and fees for electricity in Europe for a long time in the future��because the royal family will collect electricity fees. About 30% or so.


    An Feng''s current appetite is that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuchs are not in a hurry. Next year, another launch will be imminent, and it is estimated that there will be a period of rest in the future. At present, capable countries are racing against time, and France is not far behind. Although it does not belong to itself, it is comfortable to take a ride.


    Countries discuss interests with countries, and An Feng occasionally cares. At present, he still can''t see the result he wants. The answer is always refusal. Even if the Congress agrees, it will be useless. If the queen does not sign the bill, the bill will not take effect. So he''s comfortable discussing some... science with Fred.


    Fred admired his father very much, and he always had unique opinions in academics. Today he is concerned about energy and space travel: "The energy produced by chemical reactions is limited. If you want to travel longer distances and break through the solar system, can you completely use nuclear energy as a substitute?"


    An Feng said: "Isn''t it an exploration aircraft? The electricity generated by the nuclear reaction can accelerate charged particles, causing them to be ejected and propel the aircraft forward. Aircraft, capable of containing a reactor."


    Fred asked: "Besides this, is there anything with higher energy?"


    "Antimatter, the energy generated by its reaction, can constrain charged particles to be ejected at a super-high speed, so that the interstellar spacecraft can gain thrust. You know, the mass lost in the nuclear reaction is very small. According to the mass-energy equation, it is far less than 1 % of the mass can be converted into a huge amount of energy��far exceeding any chemical energy of human beings. Antimatter annihilation can reach 100%, which can be called the ultimate energy source.��


    "can you do it?"


    An Feng smiled: "Maybe, there may be a chance to try it in the future, why do you suddenly care about these things?"


    Fred said: "I think in addition to nuclear fusion propulsion, aerospace aircraft should be stronger."


    "Maybe that thing should be called ''Spaceship'', kid." An Feng stood up, "It''s getting late, we should go back and report to your mother."


    In fact, Hal is already designing the spaceship imagined by An Feng.


    It''s just that he is still in the stage of interest. He wants to see the renderings first. As for when it will be developed, it is unknown.


    Backing home by car, Prime Minister Mancini and an assistant walked out of the door. He greeted An Feng a few times, and then left in a hurry.


    An Feng walked into the house, saw Joanna, and asked, "Is he rushing to eat?"


    Joanna smiled: "He doesn''t have that kind of leisure. There are a lot of things going on recently. Many countries want to form a strategic alliance with us to develop the moon."


    "What''s going on this time?" An Feng asked.


    "Let''s go for a walk in the back." Joanna said, An Feng walked with her in the back garden. She said: "France has discussed with us before, and also considered that if France does this alone, it may be pressured by other countries, so France will bring others."


    "That''s clever." An Feng said, he didn''t think that France could solve the development of the lunar land with Sardinia alone at the beginning.


    "They called Germany and the United Kingdom to plan to form a strategic alliance on the moon, relying on our side to develop the area we delineated, because they currently do not have strong enough ground technology. In the future, we will provide them with technology support and protection."


    An Feng approved: "Not bad, if I also use this method."


    It is too difficult for several major European countries to land on the moon and open up land by themselves, but they choose to be within the more than 10 million square kilometers designated by Sardinia, just around their recognized area, and the Sardinia base can also take care of it. At the same time, the land is also implemented, and it is no longer a monopoly.


    Joanna frowned: "Don''t just say yes, what''s your opinion?"


    An Feng only cares about one thing: "What kind of price can they give? There is no such thing as giving up land for free and helping them watch their homes for free."


    Joanna said: "France intends to exchange Corsica, and the other two will pay for maintenance costs, as well as cooperation in strategic technology on Earth to form a protection agreement."


    "How big do they want it?"


    "Within the range we can take care of, it is about 1 million square kilometers, and the base built for the second time can just radiate that range."


    "It can be considered." An Feng nodded. To be honest, he didn''t plan to occupy much land on the moon. He was satisfied with more than one million people, and the resources there were enough for tens of thousands of years... As for ten thousand years later, it is unknown whether there will be human beings, and he still cares about these?


    Sell ??the land that verbally belongs to Sardinia, but that no one recognizes��using the land of Corsica, the maintenance fees of the two foreign countries, and the alliance of the earth��they are asking us to help you stand up to the old It is a good idea to discuss cooperation under the banner of pressure from the United States and the world.


    In fact, it is also acceptable, after all, strictly speaking, that place is not his.


    Joanna said: "Mancini asked me just now, the other party is very sincere, what should we do?"


    An Feng replied: "Let''s start negotiations, but more detailed provisions are needed. If appropriate, the territory of Sardinia will be expanded in the future."

 Chapter 500： disagreement

    Chapter 500 Divergence


    The matter of cooperation on the lunar land has been dragged on until today, and formal negotiations can finally be made. The concern of more and more powerful countries has also made the resources of the moon a hot topic. The United States is hurrying to explore the moon, but the Mars project is pulling their capital chain, so it is difficult to choose between left and right.


    The grouping of Europe is also expected. The EU allows countries to cooperate with each other very frequently. If the EU also involves a closer military alliance as envisaged many years ago, the role of NATO will be greatly weakened, and Europe will stand on its own. .


    The government is trying to seize the time to negotiate, ministerial-level informal meetings continue, and finally decided to hold a multi-national meeting in Cagliari on December 10. This time, not only Britain, France and Germany, but other European countries are also interested and want to participate Come to the Moon Alliance program.


    An Feng doesn''t mind a lot of people... Anyway, Sardinia can''t get that much area.


    The person in charge of the aerospace company will also participate in discussions with the government, because they are national aviation contractors, and state-owned enterprises have no technology to develop aviation at all. An Feng also discussed the main issues and cooperation principles with the company''s management, and then he let them handle it.


    Internationally lively, but the royal family''s life is quiet, they continue to organize activities in early December.


    It is a must-have project for families to let children get close to nature, experience life and exercise every year. After Christmas break in December, the royal family will go to the hunting palace in Nuoro for a week or more before returning before Christmas.


    They also send out invitations for friends to attend.


    Hunting Palace ushered in a rare and busy year. The hosts and guests moved in one after another. After the children grew up, the frequency of use of independent rooms increased. Coupled with a group of attendants, the lineup was very large. After the hunting time began, the people in full armor set off.


    There are eight cars alone, and the number of hounds has been expanded to fifteen. Two tigers, Xiaobai and Xiaohei, also came to play as cameos to experience the fun of chasing in the jungle. Also because there were too many people, it became an outing. Everyone was talking and laughing with guns on their shoulders. At noon, they looked for a place to have a picnic.


    An Feng is also used to it, the real hunting still has to go to the vast Africa.


    It��s good to gather for a picnic in the forest. More than a dozen people mobilize together. The servants are not allowed to help. It��s their turn to sit down and enjoy. The master and his friends are busy together, adding wood and fire, roasting meat and cooking soup, whether they will also intervene, and the children often make their heads look ashamed.


    When Jessica, who was in charge of lighting the fire, looked up, Edward, who was opposite her, sat down happily on the ground: "Haha, look at your pretty face!"


    "What!" Jessica exclaimed, jumping up and wanting to use her hands, Alice reminded: "Don''t use your hands!"


    "Oh Maika, isn''t it scary?" Jessica asked nervously. The girl is eighteen years old, which happens to be the age that cares most about appearance and beauty.


    "A little bit." Alice handed her a towel, "wipe the left cheek."


    "Look at them." Charlie''s son Carl, who was skewering the barbecue, said to Fred, "I said women are unreliable, especially in this kind of thing."


    "Really?" Margaret stood behind them silently.


    Fred turned his head: "Hi, Maggie!"


    "Hi!" said Margaret.


    "You know we don''t mean that." Fred hesitated, "We just think it''s a little... uncommon."


    "I know, I can understand." Margaret said to Fred gently, and then glared at her brother: "But Carl, be careful with your words!"


    "Ahh!" Carl was crying, "Why do you treat us differently?"


    Margaret walked away with a smile: "Because... I won''t tell you!"


    Beside Edward muttered: "The future princess will learn to protect her own man. I will give her ten points. Jesse, you will never be able to do it in your life!"


    "Don''t talk nonsense!" Alice smiled and touched him with her elbow.


    Jessica confronted: "We just know it in our hearts."


    "Haha, I agree!" Edward smiled, "It seems that Jesse has a talent for gossip since you were a child, do you want to be a paparazzi in the future?"


    Jessica glared at him: "Don''t call me ''Jessie'' a second time, that''s a boy''s name!"


    "Huh?" Edward stared at her unobtrusive **** in surprise, "Aren''t we good brothers? My brother! Hum?"


    "Do you want to die? Try screaming again?" Jessica was already gearing up now, and Alice quickly grabbed her: "Be a lady! Relax!"


    The parents who came back from picking up the seasoning all laughed. When they were alone, they were a chaotic circle of underage children and adult children. In outdoor occasions, the demeanor of a gentleman and a lady is put aside, but it also conforms to the principle of coming out to relax yourself, just be happy.


    When counting the children��s trophies a few days later, Roger was very satisfied: ��It��s a good experience, exercising them occasionally, and it can better shape the tenacity of character.��


    Miranda said: "It can also enhance the relationship. From unfamiliarity to familiarity and cooperation, it only takes a few days. This is a very precious life experience."


    Charlie said: "I agree."


    An Feng leaned against the tree trunk next to him and said, "It''s like when we were young, isn''t it?"


    Miranda laughed: "Roger always messed up simple things. When he was camping on a hunting ground in Texas, he was full of bad ideas."


    "No?" Roger began to quibble, "I think it''s a manifestation of personality, something that can only be thought of by a unique genius��"


    "I don''t agree." An Feng shook his head, "At the beginning you insisted on the original taste, and you set up a tent to camp outside in winter, but you woke up in the middle of the night and slipped back by yourself."


    Charlie was curious: "Is there such a thing?"


    Several children also gathered around and looked at An Feng: "Father (uncle), tell us about it."


    Roger Zou frowned: "Why don''t I remember?"


    "That was more than twenty years ago." An Feng said with a smile, "You guys haven''t even been born yet."


    Roger came to a sudden: "Twenty years ago... Time flies so fast��but it''s also your part, right?"


    The children looked at An Feng again.


    "Is there?" An Feng naturally wanted to quibble, "You must have made a mistake, old man! Remember to take more medicines to prevent Alzheimer''s in the future!"


    "No, no, you must have been involved, as soon as you say it, I will understand! Miranda can testify."


    "Joanna can also testify, I certainly do not."


    "If she can testify, it proves that you have gone back, don''t try to circle around here, grandpa!"


    Joanna shook her head: "I don''t participate!"


    "Me too." Miranda, "I think it was ten years ago, right?"


    "Of course, I''m definitely not that old," Joanna said.


    The children laughed when they saw these people reminiscing about the past more than 20 years ago and attacking each other as old men and old monsters.


    ��


    After the Hunting Palace holiday, return to the city.


    The multinational leaders'' meeting that ended three days ago has made good progress. In addition to the three major countries, other small countries also want to let Sardinia "manage" part of the lunar land for them, at the cost of paying management fees and providing maintenance , until they are able to develop it themselves.


    There are many specific details. The Prime Minister routinely came to the Moncalieri Palace to report to the Queen and talked about the benefits that Sardinia can obtain. They will use 800,000 square kilometers of lunar land For Corsica, which is more than 8,000 square kilometers on the earth.


    "A hundred times?" Joanna said, "A key strategic resource in the future, in exchange for an island with few resources?"


    "The French said that although the moon has resources, they are only resources. Corsica on the earth has not many resources, but it has all the conditions of the earth, including sufficient air and land, a livable environment and a future. Strategic location with great potential."


    "The eloquence is really good." Joanna smiled, "What about other countries, just use money and trade as the terms of the transaction?"


    "Basically so." Mancini said.


    Joanna asked: "What''s the wind direction in Corsica? Have you ever been in contact?"


    Mancini replied: "We are going to contact the leaders of the other party''s civil rights movement the day after tomorrow to discuss formally."


    ��


    Things have been very smooth so far, and it is also in line with An Feng''s consideration of interests. He has money and benefits, and he only needs a little more technology and expenses. Judging from the maintenance costs of other countries, some of the vacancies can also be filled... But the problem lies with Corsica.


    Officials in Sardinia started discussions with France and Corsica. They were more open-minded about the issue of secession. It was different from decades ago. At that time, France did not encounter any setbacks and its national strength was strong. Too much, the economy has suffered, and technology has not recovered... Now they urgently need a very economical way to get out of the crisis, and at the same time have sufficient technological guarantees.


    There is no dispute on this issue, but Corsica wants to form a United Kingdom with Sardinia.


    It means that the United Kingdom is similar to the United Kingdom, consisting of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. All regions have the right to self-government. Except for diplomatic and military rights, everything else is available. It is also a bit like the federal states of the United States. Officials, however, are divided on this assumption.


    If it is the United Kingdom, it means that they can act as an independent whole, and the whole people can decide to join or leave-not participate as a whole. Like the independence referendum. If this kind of thing happens in the future, Sardinia has the risk of losing all its investment.


    So the government is divided.


    Finally, they asked the Queen about her attitude, and Joanna said that she could not accept the existence of the so-called "United Kingdom of Sardinia and Corsica". At most, she allowed Corsica to be merged into Sardinia as two provinces. The referendum will also be a matter for all citizens of the kingdom.


    You can consider giving some autonomy, but you must accept the jurisdiction of the kingdom as a whole. Considering the local population and social atmosphere, it is necessary to have the kingdom''s armed forces. If the most basic agreement cannot be reached, the queen will not assent and sign this bill.


    This is one of the few times Joanna has rejected the government''s proposal.


    According to the practice of a constitutional monarchy, she has no right to choose yes or no, but when it comes to the constitution, the kingdom belongs to the land she entrusts the government to manage. If the queen disagrees but the government agrees, it is only the government''s land and not the queen''s. Can be defined as��rebellion.


    The contradictory opposition is revealed through high-level dialogue.


    The Sardinian government and parliament are currently unable to oppose their queen on this point. First of all, the whole people disagree, and secondly, the government is loyal to their queen, so many politicians will respect the attitude of the queen. In the end, there was no agreement, and the representatives of Sardinia withdrew.

 Chapter 501： silver wedding

    Chapter 501 Silver Wedding


    Originally, some people in Congress agreed, because expanding the territory is a great feat, and it can also get them out of the too late position. Then learn from the Netherlands to carry out land reclamation, which can easily cope with the pressure of future population growth and benefit the country and the people.


    It is a pity that the queen objected, and the MPs who supported the queen expressed their respect. They respected the queen and opposed this matter. The government''s negotiations had to be cancelled. The most upset is France, seeing that the negotiation is about to be concluded, but disagrees at this juncture, and success is only one step away.


    Then what?


    Naturally, the negotiations continued, and France put pressure on Corsica. Now they still belong to France''s overseas territories, but the people''s hearts have been dispersed. Sardinia is a flicker, a flock of benefits, and even other countries are hard to resist its charm.


    A while ago, some areas of Greece wanted to follow the example of Sardinia and sold themselves to the Queen. But the government didn''t make a statement, because they were too far away from each other, and it was meaningless to ask for that piece of land. Now Corsica is seizing a good opportunity, but disagrees on key issues, which is a pity for everyone.


    Things have not yet reached the point of failure, and negotiations on this point continue. Responses from there indicate that they will hold a referendum on whether to be included as two provinces, or to stick to the United Kingdom - and then continue to be controlled by France, unable to secede.


    When Christmas came, the Queen gave a rare speech.


    In addition to congratulating Christmas and confirming the distribution of per capita benefits, there is also a summary of the government and the country for the past year, and a few expectations for the future. It also let the public understand the queen''s attitude in the transaction. The roadside agency''s investigation after the incident showed that there are still countless people who firmly support her.


    After the Christmas holidays comes the New Year.


    Moncalieri is full of New Year��s atmosphere this year. Members who are related to the royal family are all present. An Feng��s and Joanna��s parents have been invited to participate, and their respective relatives arrived on time no matter how busy they are at work. From grandparents to grandchildren, the four generations live together, which is especially lively.


    Because this year is commemorative, first of all, it is the couple��s 25th silver wedding anniversary, and secondly, "2040" is an integer year, and they have not been together for a long time. As children grow up and parents grow older, we all have a lot to say about memories and prospects.


    The happiest thing is the children, free and lively, and seeing familiar faces, including Andy, who has already married in Sardinia and was conferred the title of Viscount by the Queen. He also applied for Sardinian citizenship after graduating from university. Come here decisively to develop and become a member of the family.


    Because the family business is too large and the manpower is small, capable relatives can work in the enterprise. Andy is currently working for Beta Company, managing the marketing of high-end luxury beverages. His job is excellent, and his family is also happy. He has a charming Spanish wife and three lovely children.


    There are many children in the family, besides Andy''s and Xiaoyu''s.


    An Feng��s parents are very fond of the great-grandson. Up to now, the child��s mother has not been able to touch her child. The little boy is indeed very popular...Liu Yu��s husband, Zhang Kai, is talking with Frank about Chinese food. An Feng''s parents-in-law planned to try all eight major dishes many years ago. Zhang Kai knew a lot and had a great time chatting. But facing Frank, he was not as cautious as getting along with An Feng.


    This is a strange phenomenon, perhaps because of the identities of the couple, and Zhang Kai''s family immigrated earlier, and those residents respected the royal family very much, which also allowed this attitude to continue. Communication is like police interrogation, with more questions and answers.


    Before dinner begins, everyone gathers in the living room.


    An Feng came in with an attendant holding a gift box, and he stood in front of the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have a gift here, please take it in order!"


    "What is it?" the children asked.


    "Don''t worry, don''t worry!" An Feng said, "Here are two silver wedding commemorative coins for me and Joanna, plus two commemorative stamps and a small surprise."


    "Children, one after another, from childhood to adulthood!" Frank said aside.


    The children were arranged in order of age and height. Alice stood at the first place with great embarrassment, and stretched out her hand to An Feng with a smile: "Dad."


    "For you." An Feng put the gift in her hand, "The next one is Fred''s, and my lovely Wendy and Janet''s..."


    An Feng handed out the beautifully packaged gifts, and everyone unwrapped them one after another.


    Inside are two different commemorative coins, made of sterling silver, one side is the profile head of the couple, the other side is the Moncalieri Palace, with "Giovanna and Alessio" written around it, and the Arabic numeral "25" in the center , the other one is similar, but written in English.


    The commemorative stamps are colored patterns, and like silver coins, they are issued in limited quantities for the private sector. The last little surprise is the cartoon villain made of crystal. The protagonists are An Feng and Joanna. They are exquisitely crafted and very attractive. Both adults and children can''t put it down, and they praise it for being beautiful.


    ��


    After the lively New Year, the family still has a gathering for a period of time, which is regarded as a vacation, free to walk around, visit some cities, such as artificial islands, a sea city full of science fiction, or fantasy sky gardens, or is the still warm beach in the north.


    An Feng and Joanna are going to receive other friends, and also send commemorative coins and gifts.


    The first ones to receive were the old folks of the consortium. They came here specially to celebrate the couple''s silver wedding and to commemorate the 25 years they had gone through wind and rain together. Their children and other branches also appeared one by one. Friends of An Feng and Joanna were also invited to celebrate.


    Everyone has a successful career and a good life. Of course, they also have their own troubles, but this is life. The two, known as model couples, also had quarrels. It is worth mentioning that Matthew''s daughter, Catherine after marriage, has finally stabilized. She has a child, and her smile is sincere and happy... If she dares to discord again, Matthew may arrest those scumbags and fill the sea.


    Matthew��s mother, the old lady who was the first to look forward to An Feng, was too old and unwell, so she couldn��t come in person, but she also sent blessings to her home in England. Bazel brought her presents. His grandchildren Carl and Margaret smiled and asked Joanna for commemorative coins.


    Wang Keke, whom both husband and wife care about, has also found a home. He gets along very well with Mike. He is brought to the royal social occasions, which shows how much he cares... Joanna''s friend, Isabella, a decades-old best friend, and her child has already passed away. There was ten years old, Joanna joked that this was the end of the French romance, and some of her classmates, the girl Daisy back then, also had a career and a family, and served as a high-level executive in a GP company in the United States...


    After a series of gatherings, Joanna asked An Feng: "Where is my gift?"


    An Feng hugged her with a smile: "Can you give me to you?"


    "Perfunctory!" She was dissatisfied.


    An Feng kissed her: "How about this?"


    "Not enough." She put her arms around An Feng''s neck, "I make a wish, and you are responsible for fulfilling it!"


    "Yeah." He nodded.


    "Next time you commemorate your golden wedding anniversary, you should hug and kiss me like you do now," she said.


    "I promise, the diamond wedding is the same." An Feng said.


    "Can you still hug her?" She smiled.


    "No problem, I was only 87 years old at that time." An Feng said confidently, "There is another posture, this close-up."


    "Pass!" she said.


    An Feng took her hand: "It''s a failure not to prepare a gift for you, but I invite you to have some snacks."


    ��


    Hand in hand, we went to the street and walked around. Because of the New Year''s holiday, many shops are closed, and there is no shortage of money, because this year''s parliament passed the bill that envies foreigners, allowing the remaining financial funds of this year to be transferred As a welfare, it is distributed equally to the whole people.


    Finally, I found a Chinese restaurant that was still in business, and it seemed that it was just established, specializing in soup dumplings. Crab noodles Xiaolongbao, Joanna''s legs were sore when she saw this... An Feng took her in to taste it, and the Chinese boss and employees in the store were all surprised by the visitors.


    All of them looked around, but the boss was the quickest to respond: "You two distinguished guests, please sit down!"


    "You can do whatever you want." An Feng said to the boss and others with a smile, "Please keep a low profile."


    Everyone nodded understandingly. Seeing that the two of them were dressed privately, they didn''t even have bodyguards, so they definitely didn''t want to be disturbed.


    An Feng also chatted with the boss, and learned that they only obtained the visa last year, and this year they can also enjoy the national welfare that envies the dead. And they are used to the following Spring Festival, including the Chinese people in the vicinity.


    "Is there any event during the Spring Festival?" An Feng asked.


    "We have traditional dragon dances, firecrackers, and parades in Tang suits that foreigners like. The company also specially gives Chinese employees a Spring Festival holiday." The boss said with a smile.


    "Not bad." An Feng nodded. He is also happy to see that the local Chinese can integrate into the circle. The society is very tolerant of different races.


    More than a month later, the government gave the queen a big gift.


    Specifically, under the proposal of the government, Corsica conducted a referendum, and finally 90% of the residents agreed to merge into Sardinia in the form of two provinces (upper and lower Corsica), with the queen holding 988 years of ownership. Form, plus 10 billion universal welfare, became part of the kingdom.


    France also exchanged to the vast land of 800,000 square kilometers on the moon as it wished, and will cooperate with Sardinia''s military industry in the future, such as developing aircraft and defensive weapons. On the issue of procurement, Sardinia gives preference and priority, except for other unexpected reasons.


    In addition to France, European countries that have ideas about the moon have formed a ten-nation strategic alliance, and will contribute to the Sardinian moon base plan in the first half of the year��specifically, owning the land that the moon base can radiate. The ten countries will give various prices for cooperation.


    Looking far ahead, the Group of Ten European Nations, because of the existence of a strategic alliance, is likely to develop into a military alliance of European powers in the future. Some American media even claimed that Europe is trying to weaken the role of NATO and instead develop its own military organization.


    According to the European media, this is the embryonic form of Europe��s development of extraterrestrial activities and industries. The purpose is to conduct scientific investigations and contribute to the selection of future resources that will benefit mankind. And Sardinia is more direct.


    They said it was just a silver wedding present to the Queen.


    Joanna, who was reading the newspaper, curled her lips and said to An Feng: "But you are my silver wedding gift!"

 Chapter 502： 100％

    Chapter 502 100%


    The feat of peaceful expansion of the kingdom was finally completed at the end of March.


    At the beginning of April, the party representatives from Corsica came to meet the queen, knelt down on one knee and kissed the back of the queen''s hand. The grand occasion was broadcast live on TV, and it was announced that from this moment on, Upper Corsica and Lower Corsica will become the two kingdoms of the kingdom. In this province, 160,000 people will serve the Queen.


    Corsica also held a celebration parade that day, and the local anti-separatist crowd is relatively large... But Sardinia is an exception. If it is another country, there may be many differences. But for the welfare of Sardinia and the charm of the queen, human beings cannot resist, and finally lead to good things.


    There are many benefits from the merger of Corsica into Sardinia, the most obvious being the land. The territory of Sardinia will expand to 33,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to 20 Londons (the area of ??Greater London), the farthest from north to south The distance reaches 470 kilometers, and the east-west direction remains unchanged. Although Corsica has many mountains and forests, it also has a lot of resources for land reclamation. In the next hundred years, Corsica will be able to accommodate at least tens of millions of people, effectively alleviating congestion and population pressure.


    Needless to say, the benefits of other strategic resources, but there are also some adjustments that need to be adjusted. Corsica has had very radical separatists and behaviors, the pride of the locals and a large number of Algerian descendants. The social security is definitely not as good as the quiet Sardinia, and management needs to be strengthened .


    According to local opinion polls, the support rate for the Queen is more than 90%, the problem should not happen, not to mention that the police in the kingdom are not used for dry food. If you can��t handle that small place, how will you mess around in the future? Afterwards, the queen discussed state affairs with the prime minister and got many effective suggestions.


    Joanna''s work also ends in mid-April.


    Get rid of the entanglement of administrative affairs, the children have grown up and do not need to be taken care of all the time, they give themselves a vacation, go to the private island in the north of Olbia, in the designated private area, enjoy a two-person vacation without any outsiders, quiet Cozy and casual.


    ��


    April got rid of the last sliver of coolness in spring, and did not develop into the heat of June and July. At this time, the island is a rare good day in a year. It coincides with the off-season of tourism, and there are not many tourists around... These secluded conditions are very important for It was a dream for both of them.


    "It''s such a wonderful place." Joanna stepped on the beach with brisk steps, and the waves continued to wash over. The sea was blue and the sky was clear.


    An Feng followed her a few steps behind, she lost the seriousness before others, and looked like a bird that had finally escaped from the cage and was soaring freely and joyfully. The youthful vigor is on display, and maybe the word is no longer appropriate for her age, but she is now young both in appearance and in heart.


    Joanna, who was walking in front, turned around and asked him, "Why are you laughing?"


    "Just like we were back then." An Feng said, "It feels like time has turned back, the location and environment have not changed, and even your appearance remains the same as before."


    "What about body? What about size? What about attractiveness?" she asked.


    "Yes, there are also a series of similar questions." An Feng smiled, "If I look more at the bikini girls by the beach, you will ask me these."


    She walked backwards with her hands behind her back: "You haven''t answered my question yet."


    "Yes." An Feng nodded, "Always the same, you are always the woman who fascinates me, every move affects my heart."


    "I just want your approval." She said, "In this world, the only thing I care about is your evaluation."


    "Hey." He stretched out his hand towards her, "Don''t go too fast, let me follow you."


    "I will." She took his hand, "My dear, as long as I still have the strength to hold you, I will never want to let go."


    They kissed each other emotionally and hugged each other quietly. Maybe the years are making them age step by step, but the vibrant feelings cannot be diluted by time, they will only get deeper and deeper, become a habit, and become instinct... This is the most amazing thing An Feng feels.


    ��


    In the hazy night, An Feng suddenly returned to the beginning. He was in his twenties and lived a simple life with monotonous behavior. He never encountered that fantastic experience again, and he never made a young and crazy decision. The trajectory of his life was completely different. Offset, everything familiar no longer exists.


    And the experience of crossing the ocean and wandering in foreign countries is just a long and real dream. But he can still call the name inside, every face with distinctive personality, and every thing is vivid in his memory. In reality, he bumped into walls everywhere, and his life was a mess.


    The strong contrast made him unacceptable. He lived in a dream all day long. The dreams were intermittent, and the names and characters in them began to blur. He tried hard to remember every name, but every time he came into contact with them, he would become Stranger... In the end, when he wanted to call out the name that accompanied him all his life, he found that he had completely forgotten it. In the mirror, he is just a disheveled, aging and dirty old man, living in a dilapidated living room and a simple bedroom, living between reality and dreams like a walking dead.


    "No!" He woke up with a start, and it was dark.


    Then the bedside lamp came on, and the familiar face looked at him with concern: "Having a nightmare? Come and wipe off your sweat!"


    An Feng took the tissue and turned to look at her: "Joanna? Is that you?"


    "It''s me." She replied strangely, "What''s going on?"


    "I had a very bad dream." An Feng reached out and touched her face, "I dreamed that I would never forget and lose you."


    "No, that''s just a dream." Joanna grabbed his hand, "Do you feel it? I''ve always been by your side, always by your side."


    "It''s very real." An Feng still couldn''t recover, "It''s like the track I should have taken in my life. I didn''t come to the United States, and I didn''t meet you. Nothing will happen in the future. I Just a delirious old man curled up in a fantasy."


    "Look at me." Joanna turned his face away, "It was just a dream, forget it. The person in front of you, she has always shared your joys and sorrows with you."


    "I don''t want to lose you." An Feng hugged her, "Even if this is just a dream."


    "Relax." She patted him on the back, "It''s my turn to hold you to sleep, so that you can always feel my body temperature and beating heart."


    An Feng hugged her for a while, regained his energy, and said to her: "It''s okay, thank you. I''ll find some water to drink, you go to bed first."


    "Yeah." She nodded.


    An Feng got up, walked out in the dark, found the refrigerator in the living room on the second floor, took out a bottle of mineral water from it, unscrewed the lid and took a few sips for himself, the cool water rushed from his throat to his stomach, irritating My whole body trembled, and my head suddenly woke up.


    He was surprised to find that the progress that has remained unchanged for more than ten years has reached 100%.


    The ensuing facts told him that the dream comparable to reality existed��it was between possible and impossible. And he also exists in the state of having experienced and not experiencing. At the moment he has gone another way, but there will be others who will go through this.


    It feels a bit like Schr?dinger''s cat, but he can change uncertain events similar to quantum theory��help other "he" make choices, let him walk on the path An Feng hopes, and don''t have to be a walking dead in a muddle, living in the In the gap between dreams and reality.


    The information in it tells him that he who lives in a good life can change him who lives in poverty.


    ��


    An Feng didn''t fall asleep all night.


    He flipped through the mysterious paragraphs of information repeatedly, and the answer to the mystery has appeared, but for the time being... he can''t figure it out.


    At ten o''clock in the morning, while Joanna was going to the resort hotel to make an appointment with a beautician for a SPA, he connected to Hal through the Internet and told him the matter. He hoped that Hal''s more flexible mind could help him carefully analyze where the sequence of things started.


    The answer to the mystery last night was that he changed himself.


    But what An Feng wondered was: "Where do these advanced encyclopedia technologies come from?"


    Hal said: "From you."


    "Me?" An Feng frowned, "But how could I come up with so many advanced concepts?"


    Hal said, "Aren''t you now?"


    "But it is..." An Feng was even more confused, "If it is speculated according to the plot, it was given to me by another me in some way."


    Hal said: "There will be a wise you."


    An Feng still didn''t understand: "But my intelligence is due to the things in my head!"


    Hal said calmly: "You have fallen into the endless root problem: which came first, the chicken or the egg? I remember you humans like to discuss it very much."


    An Feng tried to say: "That means, at the beginning, there was a person who was so smart that he thought of these things, and made this powerful biological robot, and then gave it to me through specific means, and asked me to join this Cycle, go on endlessly?"


    Hal said: "No. Your intelligence is because of those biological robots."


    An Feng asked: "But who developed the robot?"


    Hal said: "Wise you!"


    An Feng asked very tangled: "My wisdom is because of the help of those robots? Is the robot appearing because of the wisdom of me?"


    Hal nodded: "That''s it, two superimposed states that may coexist."


    "I get it��don''t ask the source."


    An Feng asked again: "The next question, why did I explore the starry sky?"


    Hal answered: "This is what you will definitely do in the future, and now you are asked to do it to save you more effort when you want to do it in the future."


    An Feng owed Bian: "What if I don''t want to do it in the future?"


    Hal points out: "But you''re already doing it."


    "Oh my god!" An Feng rubbed his forehead, "It''s another question not to get entangled in the details. What about the ''Galaxy Star Map''?"


    "According to that piece of information, you need to perfect it." Hal said, "In the future, you will have a desire to explore terrestrial planets, suitable for human habitation. Now you explore some of them, and countless of you will complete the whole Process. The key items are in your head."


    "Those biological robots?" An Feng asked.


    Hal said: "Yes, you will add your own route, and then use the device to transmit it to you in the superimposed state, continue."


    An Feng asked: "I''m going to die, right?"


    "Yes." Hal said, "As long as those bio-bots leave, you will die."


    "I''m afraid I''ll have to wait until I''m about to die of old age." An Feng said, "Will it be too late then?"


    Hal said: "So there will be a superposition you."


    "I understand." An Feng nodded, "All of this is because of me, and only I can receive and use this information. Every life will add a part, until I complete the entire drawing, the whole cycle to be able to stop?"


    Hal said: "The decision is in your hands, maybe you will, maybe you won''t."


    "I don''t think so." An Feng said, he didn''t want to experience the muddled life in his dream, he hoped that Joanna would always be by his side.


    Hal said: "My answer is over."


    ��


    When Joanna came back, An Feng was in a daze.


    "Thinking about last night''s dream again?" She jumped in front of him and said.


    "Hi." He smiled.


    "Hi!" she said, "What do you think would happen if I had short hair?"


    "Not good!" An Feng shook his head, pulled her to sit on his lap, "You are only suitable for long hair, if not, how will you wear it in the future? Do you still want to wear a crown?"


    "Yeah," she said, "I was going to cut it short and dye it a burgundy."


    "I think the current one is very good. If I agree, the people of the whole country will not kill me?"


    "Yes." She smiled, "Since I was banned from participating in cross-country races by them, this time it may be my turn not to cut my hair short."


    "It''s all love, isn''t it?" An Feng put his arms around her, "I just like the way you are under the spotlight and your behavior affects everyone."


    "Then it''s only yours, right?" She pressed her forehead against his.


    "That''s right." An Feng nodded, "I like my queen like this, it feels like I have the whole world."


    "Sweet mouth." She smiled.


    "Isn''t it?" he asked back.


    "It''s sweet!" She smiled happily, and her voice spread far and far.

    Chapter 503 Epilogue


    Ten years later.


    The kingdom in May is full of excitement and celebrations. The streets of the capital are full of flowers and national flags. The shops also sell various souvenirs, 3D printed dolls and commemorative albums. The air spreads the message of joy... because of their Frey Prince De is about to get married.


    Fred''s popularity is unquestionable. Although he was very low-key when he was a child, he was not as popular as his sister, Princess Alice. There were even voices among the people who hoped that Alice would become the queen...but with the launch of the first smart medical device After taking the opportunity, he was already better than blue, inherited his father''s title of "loved by women all over the world", and became a well-known popular lover.


    There are even men who like it... The efficacy of the biomedical machine is too powerful��people��s eyes are undoubtedly focused on the characteristics that can activate the cells of the whole body, re-stimulate the growth of the human body, and return to youth. It delays people��s definition of youth to eighth. Before the age of ten.


    Because of the role of bio-drinks around the world, authoritative organizations have concluded that the average life expectancy of people who consume beverages for a long time has reached 120 years, and the concept of youth can also extend to 60 years old. The biomedical machine is extending it, and it dare not say that it is old until it is seventy years old.


    Even the Nobel Prize was about to fall on Fred, but he refused. He admitted that this was the inspiration of his father and some researchers. He was only responsible for refining some content in the concept, reducing costs and improving After the work efficiency is improved, it will be extended to all human beings.


    But this does not hinder his aura and the love of women all over the world-especially those who desire to be forever young and beautiful. According to surveys in the past two years, the support rate of the people in the Kingdom exceeds 90%, which is a little bit lower than the 99% support rate of his mother.


    Rich and rich, good looks, high culture and good temperament...the benchmark of the public prince charming. For his premature marriage before the age of thirty, he also broke the hearts of a group of girls, but there is nothing to do with things like feelings. Plus his fianc��e Margaret Alexandra also dwarfs many.


    This is a typical prince charming and princess, handsome men and beautiful women. Margaret Alexandra was born in a famous family. Her grandfather was the Marquis of the kingdom, and her father was a hereditary earl. The family wealth was astonishing, and she was beautiful and generous. Although she was not Cinderella, she was also admired.


    What makes people talk about it is that they are still childhood sweethearts. Although they each had romances when they grew up, they still come together in the end, and the lovers finally get married. The whole process was in line with the imagination of a young girl... No wonder the wedding of the century has received countless attention.


    ��


    The wedding that attracted worldwide attention was held in the new church dedicated to the royal family.


    The coronation of the queen, the wedding of the princess, and the baptism of the daughter of the princess have been held here, and now it is welcoming the wedding of the crown prince. It was decorated early, and countless bright and pleasant flowers are also conveying sweetness and joy to people, and the guests invited from all parties are always smiling.


    The wedding will take place at 9:00 am, before the guests enter.


    There were family members from both parties, royal families from various countries, and other friends and distinguished guests. The church that had been widened many times was still overcrowded, and there were some passers-by on both sides of the street waiting for the carriage. The Roadside Club exclusively uses a TV station to broadcast live, and the footage is currently in the church.


    The queen entered the arena accompanied by her husband. She was still radiant for decades and was about to celebrate her 60th birthday, but she couldn''t detect any changes in her age. A year ago, she also participated in an equestrian event, riding on horseback to participate in an obstacle course, which made everyone sweat.


    Facts have proved that her status is no less than that of young people, her face is fixed in the thirties that are familiar and loved by the public, her smile is friendly and charming. The husband next to her also has that mature and stable face. He has fulfilled the duties of the king''s husband for decades, and the queen needs his company wherever she goes.


    The love of this couple has reached a tacit understanding, which needs no words to describe. And today they are also sitting in the front row of the family seats with smiles on their faces, talking with the princess mother next to them. Then Princess Alice and her husband James appeared, holding a four-year-old girl by the hand.


    Because Alice is not the crown prince and is deeply loved by her father, her feelings are relatively free. She has made several friends and finally met her husband at the horse racing festival. Given her outgoing and free personality, An Feng is more optimistic about complementary combinations. James It is relatively qualified.


    But it may be that the prestige of the father-in-law is too high, he is hailed as a legend of an era. James was always nervous with him. It may also be that after the third time they met, An Feng started boxing with him, and then...Joanna also reprimanded him for being so violent to the younger generation.


    An Feng insisted, he believed that a man can respect his wife, but if he has no power to restrain his wife...the moon base is very short of people. James is not as active as An Feng. If he wants to play for real, his father-in-law, who is in his sixties, will beat him every minute. But he has a good physique and is also open-minded and studious.


    An Feng reached out to his granddaughter Grace: "Hey! Cute little girl, come to me!"


    Grace has a chubby face, a little light blue eyes, and a lot of smiles, which is the favorite of Grandpa and Grandma. Now I''m running over for a hug. An Feng carried her to the seat beside him, and said to the girl with wide eyes: "Calm down first, and wait for the prince and princess to enter."


    The relatives and friends also arrived one by one. The changes in appearance are quite obvious, the only thing is that the couple still can''t see the ravages of time. With the development of biotechnology, rejuvenation is inevitable, and everyone can accept the changes in the An family.


    After familiar friends and family members entered the venue, the wedding march sounded, and the groom in a suit and dress appeared on the stage, standing still in the church with his best man. He was also smiling all the time today, and he was a little nervous. After waiting for a while, the bride in a grand wedding dress, accompanied by her father, walked into the hall.


    "So beautiful, grandpa." Little Grace said to his grandfather.


    "Yes." An Feng nodded with a smile.


    The wedding of Fred and Margaret was held grandly and perfectly under the attention of the whole world, and their oaths and ring exchange became classics. This century wedding was watched and blessed by everyone. Fred With the priest''s permission, he kissed his bride.


    The audience applauded and cheered, congratulating the couple.


    Then there will be a parade of floats, the balcony of the Moncalieri Palace will appear, and a dance will be held in the evening. Everyone dressed up and danced happily in the music and joy... A grand and commemorative crown prince wedding came to a successful conclusion. It also announces to the world who will be the future king and queen.


    The people of the kingdom accept and love the future king and queen, and Joanna is relieved.


    According to her idea, it may be that she chooses to abdicate at the age of 75 or 80. At that time, whether the king can win the hearts of the people is very important. Although it is impossible to abolish the royal family, if there is no people''s hearts, the monarch will be more symbolic. Rather than the ubiquitous influence now.


    The child''s lifelong event is settled, and the parents have nothing to worry about.


    June is the Queen''s 60th birthday, and the kingdom is one happy event after another, and the celebration continues... But the Queen left the Moncalieri Palace, and since she turned thirty, she doesn''t like to celebrate birthdays. So she chose to go to Giovanna Palace with Wang Fu to spend romance together without interruption.


    ��


    An Feng changed into a youthful long-sleeved shirt and straightened his collar in front of the vanity mirror, but saw Joanna changing shoes with her back to him in the mirror. He smiled and turned around and patted her buttocks. Provoking bursts of hip waves, he said seriously: "Don''t bend over to wear shoes, you are the queen."


    "Damn! Old and unprincipled!" she scolded.


    "Wrong answer! Hate often means like, and we are still very young." An Feng hugged her from behind, "My queen, what do you think?"


    ��Hate means not wanting, not wanting and not wanting to be,�� she says.


    "Tough mouth." An Feng put his arms around her waist, buried his chin on her shoulder, "Have you changed the perfume I recommended to you?"


    "You say you like it."


    "I like it," he said, "want to eat you right now."


    "No." She smiled, "It''s daytime."


    "We didn''t spend less time like that during the day, did we?"


    "No!" She emphasized her tone, "I want to go out for a walk. The weather outside is very nice. Come with me on the swing."


    "Hmm... good." An Feng hugged her for a while, "But swinging is a little bit?"


    "Go!" she ordered.


    An Feng was pulled out by her hand, wandering around in the garden outside, on the way she asked: "I heard that your plan has not yet taken shape?"


    "I''m used to procrastinating." An Feng said indifferently.


    Ten years ago, An Feng had confessed everything to Joanna, and it was not easy to bear the secret. He also thought that he should not hide it from his wife who had been with him for many years, so he explained the matter to her clearly. Of course, Schr?dinger''s dead-and-alive cat isn''t easy to understand, that''s what it is anyway.


    In the past, An Feng felt that he was lucky, that good luck was obtained out of thin air, without hard work, and it would be disgraceful to say it, but the truth told him that everything he had was created by him, and that good things did not come in vain. Happiness that takes countless painstaking efforts to exchange for.


    So he can proudly declare that this belongs to him and can only be his.


    Joanna took a long time to understand, including the weird circular theory. Then she also supported An Feng to complete the details of the cycle. He needed to build a spaceship and explore distant galaxies. He also has to develop a technology that travels through time and space, which is already equivalent to magic, to complete knowledge transmission.


    "You can always finish it." Joanna pulled him to sit on the swing chair, "Isn''t it? My hero."


    "Well, our future still has a long way to go." An Feng tapped his toes lightly and pushed the swing, "Recalling the whole thing, it was all predestined."


    "This is fate." She said superstitiously.


    Actually... there may be a bit of superstition in it. Because after An Feng got the diamonds he sent, he would go to the United States to collect the auction money, and then live there to develop the technical foundation; In order to gain unprecedented prestige; with prestige, it is finally smooth sailing in the private purchase of the island and the establishment of the country.


    With the strong guarantee of the country, the superb technology that An Feng wants to develop can be carried out undisturbed. If it is in the United States, it is very difficult for him to build a spaceship that surpasses the existing technology for hundreds of years. The technology cannot be guaranteed, and the ownership No guarantee, nor convenience of movement.


    Things are interlocking and cannot be dispensed with.


    If he didn''t believe the information in his head at the beginning, if he chose to hide during the disaster, if he had been living in the United States afterwards... too many assumptions, maybe the story would have ended right from the beginning. If he hadn''t made it to today, he wouldn''t be able to develop the teleporter freely.


    They found that whether it is the emergence of advanced technology, the harbinger and coming of the end, the establishment of the country in the future, the guarantee of the foundation of super strength... are the keys that must be experienced. If one step is missing, the story cannot continue. And An Feng in the cycle will usher in a miserable life.


    Joanna asked: "When are you going to do it?"


    An Feng put his toes on the ground and continued to push the swing: "Well... After you leave me, I will follow. I will not let you be alone."


    Joanna leaned her head on his chest and said, "Then I will try to live a long life. If you are one or two hundred years old, you will stare blankly and can''t do anything."


    "I''m willing to do that too." An Feng put his arms around her.


    Joanna asked: "Did you say that you will definitely find me in the vast crowd?"


    "Will do."


    She asked again: "What if you fell in love with someone else?"


    "Impossible." An Feng shook his head, "Since I met you, this kind of connection has unfolded. It is destined that you will fall into my arms in the end."


    She said: "After that, I have to be more reserved. I can''t immediately agree to your marriage proposal in Florida."


    "It''s up to you." An Feng smiled, "I''m afraid you won''t be able to help yourself."


    She said, "Hopefully she won''t. To whet your appetite and test your patience."


    "You know I''m always very patient." An Feng kissed her forehead, "You are the most important part of my life, and I will never miss it."


    She held his hand: "Forever."

    I am most grateful to every reader who has been silently supporting and voting for me. You are my biggest motivation.


    ��The above testimonials.


    By the way, the new book question that everyone asked. I had some discussions in the group before, and the current idea is��if I still write��continue to write a similar style, that is, "a story that is closer to life, burns money, and wanders in a foreign country."


    Although the definition is casual, it is too plain and ugly, and it is difficult to write. So in the next book, I want to speed up the pace on the basis, and occasionally there will be ups and downs. But it will not be all kinds of face-slapping routines and fighting... In short, it is similar to this book, but the rhythm is faster and there are ups and downs in the plot.


    It feels difficult to grasp, and it has not yet been determined how. Due to my work and other reasons, I am afraid that I will start writing next year, and the fastest book release will be after the Spring Festival. I only have one or two ideas about the plot and content. Related settings, including type, style, character recruitment and others, may be discussed in the group.
