On the 13th, Boss Guan came back refreshed, this guy not only went to London, but even returned home.

Oh, after the Gulfstream Four took three women to play around in Europe, and finally brought a group of bodyguards who had spent their holidays in the United Kingdom back to New York first, and Boss Guan himself took an ordinary commercial flight back to China.

The three who are still studying in London continue to study hard in the directing department, studying hard like a third man, and they will almost be able to graduate from a bachelor's degree in half a year, and they will be able to apply for graduate school in the second half of this year.

As for Zhang Nan, Zhang Li and Chen Xiaoxu, who are in London, didn't mention it much in Guan Xingquan's place - how to mention it?

The three of them go to one of the best film schools in the world, and they are the same as the USC School of Cinematic Arts, and if so, they don't know who the new boss of Columbia Pictures is and what his background is......

That's worth it!

Not to mention anything else, many film and entertainment magazines in London have long dug up Zhang Nan's current family situation, although there is no definite evidence, Zhang Nan can still guess that he has a wife and children in the United States, and even the relationship with Isabelle Adjani is almost an open secret.

It's okay not to say much, but when you have time to call, no one talks about the topics that get in the way, so let's just spend it like this.

Boss Guan hurried to return to China for a few days to meet his mother, because Xiang Weirong and a group of Huaxia bodyguards would basically return to China for the New Year.

Zhang Nan wanted Guan Xingquan to come back after the New Year at home, and after he returned to the manor, he nagged twice: "...... I told you to stay a few more days, and I was anxious!"

Guan Xingquan didn't care at all, and said: "I can't stay either, my mother is now living in the hilltop manor with my sister-in-law and Jia Nan, and I asked me when I would get married this time, and I had a headache when I heard it."

Besides, my mother has a good life, she is about to become the eldest grandmother next to Cixi Lafayette, she doesn't have to cook, she can take the children at most, her health is very good, and she has a driver when she goes out, which is very good......."

Two new villas have been built on the side of the hilltop manor, and my sister and Aunt Liu have moved, but they only live in one, otherwise it will be too deserted.

has a son who knows whether he earns tens of millions or hundreds of millions a year, and Aunt Liu is of course free. She won't feel lonely with Zhang Hui's family, two children, one older and one young, are enough for her to be happy - not tired, and there are distant relatives of Zhang Hui's family as nannies.

As for the son's marriage problem, although there is a bit of a headache, the daughter-in-law has basically booked, so there is no need to worry too much.

As for who is Galeries Lafayette?

Zhang Huibei.

Not to mention the county, everyone in the region can be said to be the richest man with their eyes closed, and even the province is not far from ten, this Aunt Liu's life is not too comfortable.

After listening to Boss Guan's words, Zhang Nan was a little gossipy: "I said Brother Guan, when are you going to get married?"

"It's early, wait until Leyun finishes grading. ”

"Graduate students can get married. ”

"I said Anan, you let the other two hang there, and I will marry Le Yun, is it appropriate?"

Zhang Nan was speechless for a while.

"Forget it, you can run more to London in the future, and the second and third Gulfstreams you bought will be ready for use soon. In this way, in addition to the two that Lisa and Charlie will use, a Gulfstream and a 767 are also enough, and you can adjust the earliest Gulfstream. ”

Gulfstream Company now looks at Zhang Nan's company not too closely, four planes!

"I don't need it, in addition to the convenience of private jets during holidays, it is not as good as passenger planes to go to London anyway, anyway, there are more flights.

By the way, I said Anan, you also have to run around London and the capital, martial law was lifted yesterday, and I estimate that soon you can return to China with confidence.

If nothing else, I always want to go back once or twice a year?......"

Guan Xingquan also went to the capital, visited Aunt Li's family, and met with the two brothers of the Jiang family, and the two parties summed up in one sentence: Weng Qianhui is looking forward to Zhang Nan!

In this regard, Zhang Nan nodded, didn't say much, and knew it in his heart.

On the 15th, the Oscar nominations were announced, and Adjani appeared on the list without surprise.

Even though Columbia Stars has voluntarily given up a large piece of territory, many films have been nominated for multiple awards.

The other Zhang Nan didn't pay attention to it, so he watched "Speed of Life and Death" - caught up with this year's Oscars, with three nominations for Best Sound, Best Sound Editing and Best Film Editing, which is a very good performance as a tight-paced action movie.

If nothing else, this action movie can win two statuettes.

On the 16th, except for Guan Xingquan, Alyosha, Xia Mili and Karimi, other bodyguards from Huaxia returned to China with Xiang Weirong. When they come to the United States again, it is estimated that there will be a few more people - Guan Xingquan has looked for a few old subordinates and old comrades-in-arms, and this time he has met in Shanghai.

After the year, those who will go to Yan County to report, all of them are brothers who have only changed jobs and been demobilized this year, most of them are twenty-seven or eighteen years old, a little younger than Alyosha and them - the annual salary starts at 100,000 US dollars, and one of the buddies who is the oldest in the grade, who is 35 years old this year, and the deputy director of the deputy regiment is not even the deputy director of the public security bureau in his hometown county, so he wants to come to the United States.

What does a deputy director with little power do, after arriving in the United States, he will be trained and adapted for half a year, and if he stays in the "joint forces", he can really command mercenaries to fight!

That guy is uncomfortable without the gun, and he can suffocate him from internal injuries in China!

Why run to the capital?

Open the back door - a few of them came out of the secret unit, if there is no Jiang family to say hello, this person will not want to go abroad in twenty or thirty years!

......

On the afternoon of January 26, after a 4,000-kilometre voyage, the city of Tucson, located in a semi-arid desert environment, appeared far beyond the right porthole of 767.

Randy would give Zhang Nan a telescope, "Boss, it's at two o'clock." ”

What is it?

There was nothing in the air, on the ground. It is the 2,600-acre Davis-Monson Air Force Base, with more than 5,000 planes parked on the ground – the world's most famous "aircraft graveyard" for the U.S. military!

The geography and climate of Tucson are suitable for storing aircraft, the air is dry, the annual rainfall is low, and the altitude is relatively high, and the surface soil is hard and solid due to the high alkali content, which is also suitable for towing aircraft.

Through the telescope, Zhang Nan saw the planes densely lined up on the ground in the distance, and the most striking thing was the terrifying number of hundreds of B52 bombers!

It is said that a full 300 B-52 heavy strategic bombers were scrapped because of the strategic arms reduction treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union - in order to make the Soviet spy satellites flying in the sky clear, all the wings and tails of all B-52s flying here were cut off.

What an exaggerated scene!

His plane will soon land at Tucson International Airport, 8 kilometers away, and the runways of the two airports are actually parallel, so even if the civil pilots take off and land exactly according to the regulations, passengers will still be able to see the situation at Davis-Monson Air Force Base in the sky.

There are mountains a few kilometers nearby, and it is not forbidden for personnel to climb them, so you can see more clearly with a high-magnification telescope over there, not to mention that the air base and the wasteland area are separated by barbed wire, and you can see clearly when you pass by.

Americans are not afraid of others - they are all in the cemetery, and they are basically the life of dismantling parts, and there is not much to keep secret.

As for whether there are mine arrays or sirens behind the barbed wire......

Zhang Nan was not interested in trying.

As soon as I got off the plane, the "United Forces" personnel who arrived in advance were already waiting at the VIP exit, and the boss even came with his wife and children, and the security level of the security company had been mentioned to the highest!

There are a lot of people, Zhang Nan, Adjani and Nicole have a car, and they are still holding two children. Alice, Jenny, Charlize Theron, and Lily Jr. went to another bulletproof SUV.

Zhang Nan was frowning from the moment he got off the plane - the children are still young, and the weather here...

New York is now the coldest time of the year, Tucson is already in the spring flowers, the weather forecast says that the last ten days, every day is a minimum of 10 degrees Celsius, a maximum of 234.

The temperature is comfortable, but the air here is dry enough, a far cry from the humidity of Long Island facing the sea.

Zhang Nan felt that his nose was a little uncomfortable and dry, and he didn't know if the children could adapt to it.

And the altitude of more than 700 and nearly 800 meters here is not particularly high, but coupled with the semi-desert climate here, it is enough to make people uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the hotel felt good, on the northwest side of the city next to the gentle slope of the Giant's Pillar National Park - a three-storey manor-style hotel, surrounded by high walls, and nearby is a high-end villa area.

Unlike the villas on Long Island, the high-end villas in Tucson are casually fifty or sixty meters apart, and hundreds of meters apart, surrounded by the distinctive Arizona wilderness, and there are tall giant pillar cacti everywhere you look.

This is a suburb, and the urban area is basically a two-story independent house, and as a result, the urban area of a city with a population of less than 400,000 is the largest!

Seventy or eighty rooms of all sizes in the hotel are full, and there are no outsiders except the hotel staff, and many of the "Star International" personnel who participated in this jewelry exhibition also live here.

Brown and Joshua came two days ago, and this trip to "Star International" is to go all out, hoping to seize more market share through the exhibition.

After almost 5 hours of flying and running more than 20 kilometers in the city, Nicole and Adjani were too lazy to move for the time being, and the temperature in the afternoon was 24 degrees, and the sun was shining, so Jenny and Alice actually wanted to jump into the pool for a swim.

"It's 30 degrees under the sun, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

It's hard to understand what women think, Zhang Nan doesn't bother to pay attention to it, landlubbers never understand the hearts of swimmers.

Call Charlie and little Lily, disperse a group of people in advance, and go outside the hotel to see the cactus - this afternoon weather is just right for wearing short sleeves in the sun, and in the evening you have to add a coat.

It takes a day, not for the jet lag that has almost no effect, but for adapting to a completely different climate.

One night passes...

Relieved, the two babies are very adaptable, and the dry climate here has not affected them at all.

As for Lily... This is a sturdy presence that has been to southern Africa, Arizona is a little meaning.

After breakfast, we set off to visit the world's largest mineral jewelry exhibition.

Brown and Joshua are the best guides, because they come back once a year, and each of them has been here at least a dozen or twenty times, and they are very familiar with it.

Out of the hotel, along the road in the wilderness, you can see sparse high-end villas and small estates on both sides, and you will pass a public golf course after driving six or seven hundred meters, and then there is the closest exhibition area from here.

Brown and Zhang Nan were huddled in one car, and Joshua was in the other car to give Charlie and the others a narrator.

"In more than a month of the exhibition period, there are at least 40 exhibitions of various scales here, and at least 30 venues are exhibited at the same time during peak hours.

And that's just part of it, the city is full of open-air, semi-open-air and small exhibition areas, and it's impossible to count.

Just like the place before, Joshua and I stopped by the day before yesterday, and it's a fossil production area where private enthusiasts communicate......"

This will Lily Greeney sit on Zhang Nan's lap, this little guy sticks to his father. As soon as she heard about the fossils, Lily immediately said, "Our teacher told me about the fossils, Dad, can we go and see them?"

It didn't matter, I was going to visit the exhibition area of my own company in the largest gemstone pavilion: it will be open to the public tomorrow, but today the exhibition has been set up, and it is a special time reserved for high-end professionals and exhibitors with invitations to communicate with each other.

Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, the little guy here is interested again, and Zhang Nan feels that he can go later.

"Randy, let me know. ”

After saying a word, Lily smiled and "snapped" on Zhang Nan's face.

It is a good thing for children to learn about popular science, and when they arrive near the exhibition area, they drive away all the women who want to see the jewelry, let them go to see the gems first, and take their stepdaughters to see the fossils.

Alice originally wanted to stay, but Zhang Nan said: "Let's go, I'll take my daughter to watch dinosaurs, what kind of fun are you guys doing!"

The bodyguards split into two teams and temporarily parted ways.

This is a semi-open-air exhibition area, and there are many fossil enthusiasts and researchers who come to visit, and there are also Zhang Nan who purely come to join in the fun. The booths and areas on display are at least 10,000 square meters, which can be dazzling.

After walking for a while, Lily took Zhang Nan's hand and said, "Dad, it's different from the museum here, why didn't we see the big dinosaurs?"

Zhang Nan, Brown and Guan Xingquan all laughed - there are dinosaur fossils here, there are quite a few, but how can there be a "complete dragon", if it is a large dinosaur fossil, it would be good to have a skull!

Explain to the child and teach her about different fossils: ammonites, fish, seaweed, insects...

Then, under a large tonnage of stone slabs under a windy shed, there was finally a fossil of a small raptor, which little Lily could distinguish - for fossils, Zhang Nan's knowledge is also at the level of ordinary adults visiting natural museums and watching BBC feature films.

As for being able to be a teacher for children, it is because most of the fossils have labels on them, even if they are not detailed enough, they can be blinded.

There were also a few "stone balls" on the side, and Lily said, "These are so cute, Dad, you see, the broken one is like crystal inside, so beautiful!"

The owner of this small fossil, a white man in his 40s, heard Lily's words, and at the same time his expression was surprised, and at the same time he politely poured down on the side: "Hello, dear Mr. Allen! I am Murray Imaz, a fossil merchant and collector, and I am happy to serve you and your daughter, and this is my business card." ”

Zhang Nan wouldn't pick it up, and the giant-like Mark took it. Zhang Nan nodded and said, "Nice to meet you!"

The meaning is clear: buddy, don't bother me and my daughter, okay.

But this is someone's territory after all, and Zhang Nan still has the necessary politeness.

This Imaz is also very knowledgeable, and he didn't get entangled, so he stood politely on the side.

"Dad, this is a dinosaur egg?"

"How do you know?"

Zhang Nan smiled and asked: She doesn't know a lot of words.

Lily smiled slyly, "I've seen it on TV, these balls are beautiful, but they're so expensive!"

"Do you like it?"

Lily nodded vigorously.

Imaz on the side sensed that the opportunity had come and said, "Mr. Allen, I can make a discount for this little angel......"

Then, he saw the suffocating eyes of Boss Guan, and immediately stopped the car, not daring to speak.

Zhang Nan ignored the guy, but gossiped with Lily, "...... Let's count a few zeros, 1234, oh, a crystal dinosaur egg is $160,000, which is a bit expensive.

Lily, why don't we buy them here, can Daddy get you some in Africa?"

At this time, that Imaz wanted to say: There are not many crystal dinosaur eggs in Africa, these are all from China.

Then, he thought of a very serious problem: Mr. Allen is Chinese!

Are there crystal dinosaur eggs in Africa?

Zhang Nan really doesn't know, but there are dinosaur eggs, and everyone in Africa has seen them, so it's a little fun to get a few.

As for Huaxia......

He is not a dinosaur egg smuggler, although he has had it himself in his previous life, and he has heard that this thing is very profitable, but the risk is even greater - he will never touch the dinosaur egg business in his last life!

Lily is very well-behaved, and Dad said he wouldn't buy it if he didn't buy it, although those round guys looked cute.

Just leave, Zhang Nan nodded to the Imaz, too lazy to talk to a dealer who smuggled paleontological fossils.

While walking, he talked to Lily about the exhibits on the side, and asked Brown casually: "In the United States, these crystal dinosaur eggs are so expensive?"

"It's always been expensive, and the discount given by that person is very face-saving, probably want to have something to do with the boss?"

"Oh, how expensive is it?"

Brown thought for a moment and said, "I remember that the crystal dinosaur egg fossil first appeared in the United States in 1865 at the Chinese Collection Exhibition in New York, but it didn't appear again for a long time.

Later, in 1915, the crystal dinosaur eggs appeared at auction in New York twice, and on one occasion, I don't remember the final price of one piece, it should be about the same as the current $25 to $300,000, which caused a sensation at the time.

Although I am not familiar with the field of paleontological fossil collection, I have also heard that the price of crystal dinosaur eggs smuggled in today is not less than tens of thousands of dollars, but also hundreds of thousands.

If it's a conjoined one, it has been auctioned for more than one million dollars......"

Well, it's expensive!
