After a short flight, the plane landed in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.

For lack of understanding, the Middle East is seen as a place of war, poverty and terrorism, but this is also too one-sided, just like some Americans who still think that China has no toilets and is full of uniform and speech.

Beirut, like Dubai, may have upended people's perception of the Arab world, dubbed the "Paris of the Middle East", where culture flourishes, East meets West, Islam and Christianity live in harmony, and ideas are in line with the world.

Cars drive through the streets of Beirut, where you can feel the vicissitudes of history and the prosperity of modern society, and the Arab women here have been liberated to the extent that they can abandon their black robes, show their faces, and choose their own clothes. Part of the backward religious culture was diluted.

On the way to her destination, Joanna pointed out the window: "You see, next to the Catholic church is the mosque!" ”

An Feng followed where she was pointing, and exclaimed, it is estimated that it is rare in the whole world, the two major religious buildings are built next to each other, and they live in harmony.

With such a bizarre scene, it is no wonder that the Arabs call Lebanon an alternative.

A quick glance inside the car already gives you an initial impression of the city, which is not backward and poor, as little Paris, its bustling business district is full of well-known luxury stores, restaurants, and high-end hotels. In the crowd, you can't tell the difference between locals and foreign tourists.

The car ended up parked in front of Elie-Saab's flagship store in the business district.

The driver opened the car door, An Feng casually stuffed a few US dollars, and two people came to the store, Saab and Goodrich, who both smiled and shook hands with An Feng.

"Please come in!" Saab has a very graceful sideways.

Step into the flagship store, spacious and luxurious. Artistry is the first feeling. It's fitting for a brand culture center that balances fashion and luxury. It is not so much a store as a fashion showcase, where every ready-to-wear and dress is carefully displayed for customers to enjoy.

After a few hurried glances, he went upstairs. Come into the office.

There are also lawyers invited by both parties in the office, Goodrich introduced the lawyer he invited, after the two sides shook hands, they each sat down, and began to talk about the content of the contract, as well as some details that need to be explained, etc., it took some time, and An Feng also asked some doubts.

When it was confirmed, Joanna became the funder. Sign the agreement.

That's right, it's a gift from An Feng.

After the signing of the contract, the largest female shareholder shook hands with Saab and opened champagne to wish the beginning of a good cooperation.

Saab's speech: "To the beautiful lady! ”

Joanna clinks glasses with him.

"And Mr. An!" Sabo turned to An Feng, "The person in the world who can pamper his wife so much is a gentleman worthy of admiration!" ”

An Feng smiled and clinked glasses with him.

After the celebration ceremony, everyone dispersed. Joanna stayed to visit, and asked Sabo's female assistant to take her accurate body data. It's not just a simple measurements, it's shoulder width. The thickness of the neck, the length of the arms, and the length of the body below the navel must be recorded in detail.

According to the agreement, Sabo had to design a dress specifically for Joanna.

Saab, who got the final figures, said: "Madame's figure is very good, even if she wants to be a runway model, there is no problem. Even if the clothes I designed were not deliberately adjusted, my wife would have felt natural and appropriate when she wore them. It can show off the beauty to the fullest! ”

Joanna was beaming when she heard the praise from the professional designer.

Linger a little longer, visit the storefront, say goodbye to Saab, and stay at a local hotel.

In the afternoon of the same day. Encountering the fashionable events held at the hotel, they experienced the lively scene of swimsuit parties and bikini beauties.

It's true that this is an Arab country, and it's true that they are locals.

So the Arab woman who covered her whole body and showed only two eyes basically disappeared here, and Miss Lebanon is famous in the world and is a constant winner on the supermodel stage. Beauty pageants and beauty contests are particularly prevalent in the region, and in Beirut, women are naturally able to express themselves.

The appearance and figure of the Lebanese girl is similar to that of the West, to be precise, Turkey. Their enthusiasm and confidence are no less than those of Westerners, and An Feng also saw the Turkish navel dance they performed...... Lebanon and Turkey are definitely two of the two different sides in the Islamic world.

After watching the performance, An Feng said: "Those sexy and enchanting women in the Arab palace are definitely the prototypes brought by Turkey. ”

Joanna discovers the New World: "So you used to watch this kind of film. ”

An Feng smiled.

……

Due to the arrangement of the plane's stopover, they stayed only two days and then left in a hurry.

The issue of An Feng's request to set up a representative office of a charitable foundation in Hong Kong last time has now been properly handled. But Joanna needed to go back to London to take care of the details before taking the delegates to Hong Kong to attend as president and officially announce its establishment.

An Feng also talked to Goodrich about something by the way.

Regarding the affairs of the Premier League club, Goodrich does not need to prepare information at all, he can casually say what many fans are familiar with, but as a professional assistant, his judgment cannot be carried with personal emotion, so he gives a more fair view and analyzes the good and bad of each team.

At the end of the day, he also recommended Liverpool.

Goodridge said: "After Liverpool changed owners, there were a few bright spots in the middle, but there was always a feeling of weakness. Because of the owner's background and the conservative nature of the venture capital, the club will not have much money to spend on buying players, and if it continues, it will deplete the family's funds. ”

"What about the possibility of acquisition?" An Feng is more concerned about this.

"It is said that Henry has plans to sell Liverpool, but first, his price is on the high side, and second, there are still disagreements, and investors are hesitating."

An Feng asked, "How much do you estimate it will cost?" ”

Goodrich thought for a moment before saying, "Probably...... Around 350 million to 420 million pounds, in terms of efficiency, no matter how high it is, it is not necessary, you can buy small teams and use the remaining money to buy more excellent players, Liverpool is now worth the heritage and fan base. ”

Goodrich and Khalid have similar views and similar valuations, with money in offshore accounts worth about £820 million. It's still very generous. The remaining 400 million can be used to buy players, or to build new stadiums, or to invest hundreds of millions, and both at the same time.

An Feng prefers the new stadium and can name it after the company.

When you think about it, you have to face the simplest question: "You are going to communicate with the club on my behalf." If I can get a reasonable price, I'll do it. ”

Goodrich nodded: "I'll do these jobs." ”

"If it doesn't work, you can give me a plan for a team that has low value but has the potential and can buy players to win good results with money."

"Understood." Goodrich said.

……

After renting a route from London to Hong Kong, Anfeng's G650 set off with members of the Foundation.

The journey took ten hours.

After the plane landed at Hong Kong International Airport, it was the local morning, and I flew around frequently these days, and I didn't feel much tired. They were mainly high-end enjoyment throughout the whole process, but jet lag was a problem, Joanna yawned repeatedly, and An Feng postponed the afternoon activities.

Hop aboard the hotel's shuttle and head to Hong Kong Island.

Due to the small size of the land and the large population, the airport was built far from the city, and it occupies a small island. To get to the city, you have to walk a little way and cross the sea. After passing through Kowloon and passing through the Harbour Tunnel, you will come to Hong Kong, where high-rise buildings are towering and crowded.

I didn't see it much, and after getting off the bus, I stayed in a hotel suite, and I was jet lag.

After a good night's rest. Let's take a look around the neighborhood first. Because the location of the hotel is in the lively Central, surrounded by shopping malls and hotels, the city is not big, and it is no problem to walk. Eat more and exercise less these days. Just enough to use the time now to walk and digest.

Joanna picked out a jacket, wore jeans and sneakers, wore no makeup, and went out without any jewelry.

An Feng looked at her and said, "I feel that after you remove your makeup, you are much younger." ”

"I'm young!" She was confident, "You're older than me, so I have to dress up in a mature style to match you!" ”

"My bad!" An Feng smiled and strolled hand in hand under the lanterns, "Now I feel very good, I feel tired from stepping on high heels all day long." ”

"Beauty comes at a price." Joanna said, gesturing ahead, "Go that way!" The old street with a lot of specialty shops is where I've been before. ”

"It's good." An Feng dragged her to a famous nostalgic old street in Hong Kong, with a first-class stone road at her feet, crowded with old snacks and vendors selling clothes, small gifts, jewelry and the like. Joanna just likes to rummage around here and there for fun.

After walking with her for a distance, she looked ahead and said, "It should be the escalator from Central to Mid-Levels, let's go and experience it." ”

This is actually nothing special, that is, the escalator to the mountain, which is more than 800 meters long, is said to be the longest in the world, there are entrances and exits at intervals, and Joanna experienced a short distance, considering that there is only an escalator up the mountain, and you have to walk down the mountain, so you will turn back.

Hong Kong is beautiful at night, with busy traffic, colorful pedestrians, skyscrapers on both sides of the road, flashing with colorful lights, the first experience will feel spectacular, but for people like them who have traveled all over the metropolis of the world, they are not very interested, and they mainly want to feel the local culture.

Passing by a shopping mall, she looked at the large group of tourists queuing in front of the Gucci store and was a little surprised: "There are still people at this late hour." ”

"Visiting Paris during the tourist season is even more spectacular, with Chinese-speaking shopping guides, and some shops limit the number of purchases per person and even set the length of stay." An Feng looked at the tourists in line, who came from afar not to eat or play, just to shop, and was simply looking for guilt.

"It's beautiful." She stared at the shop window.

"Please!" An Feng looked at her and thought to himself, you are all people who enjoy private customization in an all-round way, and you will look forward to these brand goods?

"Life always needs something to look forward to." Joanna's reasoning.

"Don't look at it, it's not allowed!" An Feng pulled her away, pretending to be pitiful, which would make others misunderstand that he refused to even buy a bag for his wife. (To be continued......)
