The two quarreled until the evening, and An Feng was punished for drinking a lot of alcohol, until he left, the sweat on his body smelled of alcohol. In order to drive safely, the lady who once unbuckled her seat belt and stood up from the passenger seat is now also paying attention to safety: "Bring the key, I'll drive!" ”

"Here you go." An Feng handed her the key.

"Let's go." Joanna wrapped up in a gauze skirt and took his hand and strolled along the beach.

In the evening, strolling in the sunset also has a special taste, one side is the mountain row after row of buildings, the other side is the endless sea and sky, the small city scenery is beautiful, the weather is also very face-saving, the sunset dyes the sky red a few pieces of white clouds, different shapes, it is very good-looking.

"It's so beautiful!" Joanna said from the bottom of her heart.

An Feng turned his head, the orange-red light shone on her body and face, with her smile, this scene was no worse than the Caixia in the sky, he couldn't help but pull her to the front, lowered his head and kissed on the soft lips, sucking gently, and the setting sun cast a long shadow behind them.

After a long time, An Feng hugged her and said sweetly: "Love you, Joanna." ”

"Me too." She said.

An Feng smiled slightly, and without saying more, he clasped his fingers with her and slowly left the beach along the path.

……

The architecture of St. Ives is a bit of a southern European style, as if they were in some small Mediterranean town, if not for the language used by pedestrians and shops to remind them. In addition, it is a "mountain town" with a lot of ups and downs, and the roads are similar to those of San Francisco, but the city is bustling and quiet.

Driving through the somewhat crowded streets, weaving through buildings with rich history, and finding regional delicacies and sweets is a lot of fun. Occasionally, I would stop my car and walk with Joanna through the bustling market. Feel the excitement of life in a small town.

The good times go by quickly, it feels like a small city is more comfortable, and it's fun to change your lifestyle once in a while in a place where no one knows them. On the fourth day they returned, and the auction in London was about to begin. They go back a day early and recuperate before participating.

The next day, An Feng went to the meeting in a low-key manner.

It's a small auction that focuses on British classics, with the Aston. Martin's classic cars, Rolls-Royce classics, and Lotus cars, but the biggest highlight is McLaren F1. Of course, even in other types of auctions, legends cannot be ignored.

In An Feng's mind. There are very few sports cars that can be called "legendary", Ferrari's 250GT is on the list, F40 is also counted, Porsche 959 of the year, Ferrari is also ashamed of the Lamborghini Countach, and McLaren's astonishing work, the peak model of natural aspiration F1.

McLaren's F1 model was first released in '92, and the '93 model was able to reach speeds of over 375 km/h. It then set a new world record of 386 kilometers until 2005. Its super record was only broken by Bugatti and Koenigsegg, which shows how domineering it was back then.

The most valuable of these is the LM model, which was estimated at more than $10 million a few years ago and is only rising to the next few decades, and it is estimated that in a few decades, it will hopefully reach the heights of the Ferrari 250 GTO. Today's auctions are not top-notch. Rather, it is the F1-XP5 model year of '94.

The starting price is 2.2 million pounds, which is about 3.75 million when converted into US dollars, which is much more expensive than any model that An Feng bought before, but it is very collectible and more profitable than hoarding. If anyone breaks it like Mr. Bean, collectors will open champagne to celebrate.

(Rowan. Edkinson crashed his F1 ...... twice ）

The front of the auction is just some British sports cars, An Feng has seen the list, it doesn't quite match his aesthetics, even the two Rolls-Royce classic cars are not very attractive, this time it is completely in line with McLaren, at the time of the auction, he turned over some pictures of sports cars and enjoyed it.

Finally, it was the turn of the auction of the most heavyweight models.

There is a 58-year-old Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud in front of him due to the high starting price, unfortunately the auction is unsuccessful, followed by An Feng's favorite F1, he prayed in his heart that the best bidder also thought it was too high and gave up...... It's a pity that the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny, and there are many bidders.

The price has also risen all the way, and An Feng took his mobile phone to convert it into US dollars, from 3.8 million to 3.9 million, and then it was easy to break through 4 million US dollars. Everyone knows that it is rare and rare, and it is generally traded privately, and rarely participates in the auction process, and this time it was accidentally pushed to the forefront.

The price can't stop An Feng, who is now rich, and when the auction slows down, he begins to hit the highest price, and after a comparison of two times, this indifferent but general attitude makes others lose one after another, and finally sold it for 2.48 million pounds, or 4.25 million US dollars.

This black rarity officially belongs to him.

After the auction, he also went to see the car, and although it has been more than 20 years old, its styling still meets the aesthetic standards of a modern sports car, with a 6.1-liter V12 engine in the rear (mid-mounted), four exhaust pipes, and butterfly doors that turn up......

The most worth mentioning is that it dares to call "F1" because it uses F1 technology and imitates the style of Formula 1, so its driver's seat adopts a central way, and the three seats are distributed in a zigzag shape, one for the driver's left and right hands, which is very special...... It is estimated that the posture of climbing out is also very special.

After admiring it, An Feng arranged for someone to send the car to the parking lot of his apartment building in London.

It was going to be flown back to the United States, but now there was something going on in London, and after getting the rarity down, he began to care about Hope. Goodrich's work in progress. It is also not difficult to register a company in the UK, and it will be faster if there is an intermediary. It took a few days for news from Hope to arrive.

The first to be set up is the foundation, the registered address is located in an office building in central London in an area of more than 200 square meters, An Feng was a little high-profile at first, and then think about it, anyway, the charity foundation is not its own office location, there is no need to be so luxurious.

Once the address is settled, the recruitment of employees is left to Hope, and there is no need to worry about people messing around with such a charitable non-profit enterprise, because the government is more concerned about its financial situation than the management - those with an annual profit of more than 500,000 pounds are the key targets.

So give Joanna a chairmanship and put some pounds into it every year, partly for charity and partly for business – even if it's a charitable foundation, it needs to keep itself running. Of course, its funds enjoy lower taxes and even zero tax rates.

Some European and American countries are very supportive of philanthropy, the most obvious is in taxes, taking the United States as an example, money donated to charity does not have to pay taxes, and the business scope of charitable funds is not only charity, it can also have its own way of doing business, investment in business, etc.

To put it bluntly, charitable funds are a tax haven for the rich, who donate their property to avoid 40% or even higher inheritance tax, and they and their descendants have the ability to manage, although they cannot "privately" use the charitable fund or the money it earns, but the power to use the "money" is in their hands.

So they invest the money of the foundation in a certain company, and then develop it into a controlling company, and as managers, they have the right to appoint and dismiss the board of directors of the company, elect suitable directors, and so on. The Foundation's profits don't belong to them, but the company is under their control.

In this way, the inheritance tax is completely evaded, and future generations can also use the power brought by this pile of money, and the children and grandchildren will be able to roll in more and more money, even if they have the wealth of the rich country, their wealth on the surface is only more than a billion...... That's why some of the super-rich are so "invisible".

An Feng doesn't have such a big plan for the time being, after all, he is still young and has a lot of places to spend money, and he has not yet considered inheritance tax. The starting point of his work is to run for fame, if the royal family dares to clearly mark the price, saying that the baroness needs 10 million, he will immediately transfer the matter, but unfortunately the matter is very complicated, everything must have a name...... If you are not in a hurry, you can do good deeds and accumulate some virtue for yourself.

At present, Hope has recruited several employees, and everyone held a low-key inauguration ceremony together, and the foundation in the name of Joanna was officially established...... An Feng felt that doing things in the name of charity was a bit tasteless, but after thinking about it carefully, how many people in the world are purely doing good deeds?

At least he hasn't seen it, while doing good deeds, he can give himself a little benefit, so as to meet the long-term development criteria. But Joanna was keen on it, and she made small plans to focus her money on the rights she wanted for children and women.

Afterwards, An Feng came up with an idea: to invest four million pounds in the foundation, and use half of it to invest in the soon-to-be-established machine company, controlling 60% of the shares. If in the future, when Americans show off their exoskeleton skills, and countries are nervous, what is charity for?

In the past, it was given away for nothing, but now it is a machine company controlled by the foundation to donate the technology to the state, and it seems that there is also a layer of profit in it. And the foundation that has made such a great contribution, and Mrs. An, who is the founder of the foundation and the largest donor, will at least be awarded a medal?

It's not an exaggeration to give a baronet, although the exoskeleton can only be used for soldiers, and modern warfare is all about invisible opponents' attacks, but you can't ignore the strength of individual soldiers - so it's about the future of the country, and even An Feng thinks it's feasible to be a hereditary countess!

He suddenly realized that he was too witty. (To be continued......)
