An Feng then traveled to Switzerland.

In the Credit Suisse office in Zurich, I met Hlandek, who was dressed in a straight suit and had a calm face.

An Feng sat down, thanked the assistant who poured water for him, and said to Hlandek: "Why didn't you inform me of this situation before?" ”

Herlandek flipped through the computer records: "I have called you seven times and sent you twelve emails, explaining that the international exchange rate has changed frequently recently, and the value of the dollar is unstable, and I suggest that you exchange your savings for more secure fixed assets or other business investments, and you say that you are not worried." ”

An Feng was embarrassed when he thought about it, and smiled: "I'm sorry, I've had too many things lately." ”

"So I urgently inform you, because the dollar may rise, but it is more likely to fall." Hlandek said seriously.

"What's a good way to preserve value?" An Feng asked.

"You can think about gold, or you can use that money to invest in funds, or you can do other things that can appreciate, like sports, and as far as I know, professional football teams in the United States have a lot of room for appreciation, or basketball, or motorsports, and soccer in Europe."

An Feng thought that American investment naturally has an Express account, while an offshore account is obviously more suitable for overseas, so he asked: "Football in Europe?" ”

"Let's take a Premier League team." "Although there are not many teams that can make a profit, the value of the team actually rises every year, such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United, there are profits and losses, but the overall price is rising. ”

An Feng thought about it in his head.

Hlandek reminded: "My plan is just a reference, and there is also the possibility of losing money. ”

"I know it." An Feng naturally knows this, not that you can maintain your value if you invest in it with high value, you will lose more, and you will still have debts after the worst, but now there is too much money in the bank. There is a lot of money coming in every year, and his career is in its infancy, and he doesn't have time to spend a lot of money.

So he didn't want to keep too much money in the bank and evaporate it silently, which was too much of a loss.

Investing in sports is also good for bio-drink promotion.

An Feng communicated his ideas to his assistant Goodrich. For the Premier League team, Goodrich is full of enthusiasm, and he is a fan himself.

An Feng asked him to sort out the information and list the value and acquisition possibilities.

……

A day later.

An Feng was invited to fly to Qatar. On the plane, he flipped through the local culture. Presumably, the most well-known in the Middle East is Dubai, which is the representative of wealth in the eyes of the world, with supercars and top hotels, the location of the tallest buildings, and luxury resorts.

And the Gulf countries that are not far from Dubai. Qatar is relatively low-key.

In fact, Qatar is not as ostentatious as Dubai, but it is richer. Dubai has a population of more than two million and a per capita GDP of about 40,000 US dollars, while Qatar has a population of nearly two million and a per capita GDP of more than 100,000, and Qatar is more than twice the total GDP.

It may be that the two regions have different ideas about spending money. Dubai is frantically investing money in urban construction to make it a tourist and consumer destination. in response to the depletion of oil. And Qatar, as a country, is committed to increasing its influence and investing more internationally.

The most famous thing is their big money, the 2006 Asian Games is the standard of the Olympic Games, and the country opened the Asian Games as if it were the Olympics in order to host the 2022 World Cup. It was also said that it would install air conditioning in the stadium...... In order to increase the influence of football, they are preparing 1.5 billion pounds to buy Manchester United, but they are still eyeing the Premier League.

Qatar does not have Dubai's madness in urban construction, but it does not have the ability to burn money. These Middle Eastern tyrants are all the same. After a preliminary understanding, An Feng understood why Khalid was so enthusiastic about what he wanted, and the reason was naturally the United States, Qatar and the United States cooperated a lot, and they also wanted to make a lot of money.

As the core of the consortium, Anfeng supports the new US president, and the cooperation in oil or gas is definitely closer, and the United States also intends to provide Qatari military equipment...... Through this complex chain of relationships, it can indeed play a benign role in promoting.

Planes arrived over the peninsula, a small country with nothing but oil and gas, and imports for most of its necessities, but it also turned the capital, Doha, into a modern metropolis. Looking down, tall buildings stand tall and buildings lining the bay.

The plane landed on the new airport built by Qatar, and its huge scale made it possible to dock the largest transport aircraft in the world: the An-225, which is a reflection of image and strength. The airport has just been put into operation, there are few flights, and after the planes land, the special area stops.

A flight attendant came up and said, "Mr. An, your car is here." ”

"Okay, see you again! Have a great trip! An Feng said to the crew.

Holding Joanna's hand and walking down the gangway, a black Rolls-Royce stopped.

The driver opened the door for them, and the two of them got into the back seat of the phantom and left the airport. The time is in the afternoon, but the temperature in March is not low, the sun outside the window is fierce, the surrounding buildings are brought with a layer of earthy yellow, presumably the usual wind and sand is not small, and there are many construction sites on the road.

After driving along the coast for about ten minutes, we arrived at a luxurious and beautiful villa area.

Originally, An Feng planned to stay in a local hotel, but he couldn't resist Khalid's enthusiasm, he said that there was no one in the family, and there was a comfortable room for them to choose, so An Feng agreed. As the car passed through the gate, the security guard saw the iconic car and let it pass without inspection.

After driving for a while in the villa area, the car finally stopped in front of a modern building with a bit of European style, the door was opened, An Feng suddenly felt the hot weather in Doha, the two-piece suit really couldn't stand it, this is still March, if it is June or July, forty is inevitable.

No wonder the Qatari government proposed to change the World Cup to be held in winter, such a hot weather, the players can stand it, and the fans can't stand it.

A man dressed in a traditional Arabic white robe walked out of the room, with a pair of sandals under his feet, and An Feng looked at him for a few seconds before recognizing him as Khalid.

"Welcome!" Khalid invited them into the house.

Walking into the house for a while, An Feng looked at the Western-style decoration and made a joke: "I thought you were going to invite me to live in the palace." ”

Khalid said, "If you want." I can also take you in for a few days. ”

"I still prefer to be free, and it's good here." An Feng refused with a smile.

Khalid said: "I said you would like it, I have lived in the West all the year round, and my living habits and aesthetics are similar to yours. ”

"It's good here." Like some vacation homes in the United States, Mr. An said, there are gardens in the front yard and trees that best reflect the level of affluence.

In desert areas. It is said that if you want to plant a tree, the annual maintenance cost is at least 5,000 US dollars, and the high point will reach 10,000 US dollars, and just now he counted that there are at least eight trees in the front yard of Khalid, and then come to the green grass, the backyard that can look out over the bay, not only the trees, but also a luxurious swimming pool under the shade of green trees. Fresh water is a proper luxury.

"How. Okay, right? Khalid said.

"It's a nice place, you must have put a lot of thought into it."

When Khalid heard the compliment, he smiled: "Of course, this is different from London, and the cost of renovating the environment is huge. ”

After visiting the backyard and returning to the house, Khalid invited them to sit down and served tea to the servants. said: "Tonight I will prepare a roast sheep feast for you." ”

Roasting whole lamb is a way of entertaining VIPs in Qatar, and Khalid specially prepared it. An Feng knows the customs of the Tao. So a few polite words were said.

After Khalid left temporarily, someone came to his house again.

The first to come were two children in white robes, about eleven or twelve years old, both with delicate faces, holding a soccer ball in their arms, and when they came in, they were grunting. An Feng couldn't understand Arabic either, but seeing that they were extraordinary, there was arrogance in his eyes.

He was followed by a middle-aged man in a white robe with a big beard, who patted the bear child who wanted to play football in the living room. Teach a lesson, then swept his eyes to An Feng's side, hesitated, and said in very unfamiliar English: "You are Khalid's friends?" ”

"Yes, may I ask who you are?" An Feng looked at him.

Khalid soon appeared, spoke a few words in Arabic, and then introduced: "This is my eldest brother Farhad, his two children. ”

Then he said a few words to Farhad in Arabic, Farhad smiled and stretched out his hand, An Feng shook hands with him, and Khalid translated on the side: "He said that he is very happy to be a guest of you, you are distinguished friends, and I hope you can enjoy life here and get used to this place." ”

"Thank you very much for your kindness, sir!" An Feng said with a smile.

The two bear children stared at An Feng and muttered, not knowing what to say, Khalid translated: "I hope you don't mind, they want to come here to play football." ”

"It's okay, exercise is good for your body." An Feng said.

Khalid said as he walked: "Actually, it's because of the World Cup, football has arisen in our country, the two children have nothing to do at home, and Farhad can't play football, I practiced some when I was in university in the UK, so they like to come here to play with me every time." ”

An Feng smiled and said, "Maybe they are very talented." ”

"Even if there were, their future path would not be in sports," Khalid said. ”

An Feng understands that these are all members of the royal family, and it is too cheap to go to play football and become a professional athlete.

The few of them came to the backyard, where Joanna and Leila sat down for tea in the shade. The two children played in the sun, don't look at the bear child wearing a robe, this kicked up, the ball kicked high, Khalid ran out of the ball to catch the ball with his chest, rolled down to the instep, skillfully tossed a few times, and pumped it to the two children.

An Feng also played with them for a few minutes, the skills were average, but it was more than enough to abuse the bear children, and when they were tired of playing in the back, Khalid gave them the task of sparring, so they returned to the shade and drank ice water to relieve the heat. The two children were still playing happily on the green lawn.

On the topic of the World Cup, An Feng said: "Speaking of football, I have recently been a little interested in buying Premier League teams to promote my corporate brand. ”

Khalid asked, "Which team did you fancie?" ”

An Feng said: "I have plenty of funds, except for the two most expensive teams, everyone else can afford to buy, but the main thing is that the owner is willing to sell." ”

Khalid said, "You are amazing! We have not been able to buy Premier League teams until now, and things are divided again, and we plan to spend more money on buying young or valuable players to become Qatari citizens and represent them in the 2022 World Cup. ”

An Feng was surprised: "You guys have even more fierce ideas!" (To be continued......)
