According to the agreed time, the guest's plane arrives five days later.

After the plane from Qatar landed, An Feng sent a business plane to pick them up and take them back to Santa Barbara in 20 minutes, in addition to Khalid and his female companion, there were also two Qatari officials, Saeed from Dubai, his three entourage, and four bodyguards.

If it were an official visit, the state would at least have to send a high-ranking official to receive it, but now it is a private affair, and everything is going on in a low-key manner. After the plane landed, the flight attendant opened the gangway and faced the passengers with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, I wish you a happy journey!" ”

Khalid walked ahead and stepped down the gangway.

The coastal California coast doesn't change much in four seasons, and the winters are only slightly colder, and the weather is warm and comfortable for guests coming from the Bay Area. Their friends also sent luxury cars to pick them up, two black solemn Rolls-Royce Phantoms, and four Maserati presidents.

The driver, dressed in a black suit and wearing white gloves, pulls the car door and asks them to get in the car.

Khalid and his female companion got into one of the Phantoms, Saeed and his assistant and the interpreter got into the latter Phantom, and the rest of his entourage sat in the Maserati in turn. At the front of the pack was a gasoline version of the president, the engine muffled and the muffled voice sounded, turning around and leading the way.

The convoy left the airport and drove along the road to its destination.

This luxury convoy has also become a scenic line along the way, passing through the center of the city, from time to time passers-by turn back, the luxury convoy is very concerned, and it also makes the VIP in the car highly respected. After about six or seven minutes, the speed slowed down and the car in front turned at the intersection ahead.

Khalid looked out the window, white and blue fences spreading out in all directions, surrounded by towering green trees, as cars moved forward. There is a noticeable sign on the side of the road: Stop! Private area. Indicates that the road, and anything that lies ahead, is privately owned.

The convoy passed through the wide main gate of the manor, and the scene that had been previously blocked by trees suddenly opened up, and in front of it was an open field dozens of meters wide and hundreds of meters long, and a square building decorated with blue and white gold stood in front of it, and the convoy turned a corner. Passengers are able to see more clearly.

The guide car took two Rolls-Royces to the main entrance of the building and stopped, and the rear car drove directly to the parking lot without passing through the main entrance. When the phantom came to the main entrance, the master and the hostess greeted him personally, and the row of servants around him did not squint, and the butler was in the most convenient position in front of him.

Khalid lamented that the real person did not show his face, he knew that An Feng was very rich and the core of the consortium, and it was because of this that he made friends with him. I didn't see him as high-profile in Europe, and I thought he was indifferent by nature, but now it seems that he is a typical example of not revealing landscapes, and he has to be in the base camp to see the real chapter.

As he thought about this, the car door was opened, and Khalid adjusted his mentality, having lived in the West. Naturally, knowing these etiquettes of Western society, he immediately got out of the car and came to the master. Shake hands with him, then introduce some other entourage, and shake hands one by one.

It feels a bit like a meeting between the leaders of the two countries, and the always serious butler has brought this scene into full play, and the rumored top British butler can raise the master's face, which now seems to be right. An Feng invited them into the house. The housekeeper led the way, and the servants quickly followed with their luggage.

Walk through the main door into the vestibule, where you will find a high-end handmade carpet underneath your feet, ivory white walls, and delicate crystal chandeliers and carvings overhead. In front of you are two winding staircases that lead to the second floor. The well-informed Khalid knew that this was not the subject, but the living room next to it was.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come here!" An Feng invited them into the living room on the right-hand side.

The decoration of the living room restores the essence of the building, all kinds of luxury and high-end come together, the living room wall hangs a large oil painting, depicting some fantasy scenes from European mythology, surrounded by retro European-style sofas, and the huge windows on the upper and lower floors behind it, but are blocked by a layer of carved white curtains, so that the light in the interior is not too strong, but also enhance the effect.

Khalid looked at it and exclaimed, "Your setup here is very good, it's dizzying. ”

"Thank you!" An Feng smiled, "Interested in visiting?" ”

"I'm curious." Khalid smiled and looked at Said, who nodded as well. They weren't polite, but genuinely curious about how luxurious the building was. As far as the current living room is concerned, with a little decoration, it can become a meeting place for high-ranking state officials and foreign guests.

An Feng and the hostess take them on a visual journey.

Even if some of them are from royal families and have seen many luxurious palaces, they are still amazed by this place. Walking through the first floor, visiting each area, you will be hit by the ubiquitous gold and ivory white, and then the dotted red and brown, and the luxury is played with in the palm of your hand.

Khalid has visited many European palaces and appreciated their luxury and magnificence, although it is boring to evaluate which is higher or lower than the mansions of Anfeng today, but the former as a royal palace, the latter as a private mansion, from the point of view of residence and daily use, he prefers the latter.

Saeed from Dubai also admired: "It feels like coming to the Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi, the difference is that the colors here are more lively, and you can feel the luxury while taking into account the needs of life." Really beautiful place. ”

"Thank you!" An Feng smiled.

can hear the high evaluation, which is naturally an affirmation of his burning money. Khalid and Saeed are both Middle Eastern tycoons and royals, and they must have experienced a lot of luxury, and the Abu Dhabi Palace Hotel compared to Saeed is known as the only eight-star hotel in the world.

Even these people are highly appreciated, which can be seen from this.

In terms of total cost, Anfeng is naturally not as good as the Palace Hotel, which cost three billion US dollars to build, but in terms of unit cost, how big is the Palace Hotel? How big is Anfeng? They have nearly 400 rooms, while Anfeng only has eight rooms here!

In terms of unit cost, the degree of money burning is indeed unparalleled.

An Feng also thinks that it is more suitable for residential use, he has seen the Palace Hotel, the use of gold is too much, it will produce visual fatigue, and it will feel a little explosive after a long time. Anfeng is not a hotel, so add more colors and elements to dilute the outbreak with baroque art.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a low-key outfit B.

……

It is impeccable to entertain guests with such a high specification.

So this time the guests were happy, and the guests were very happy. Praise is full and the host is naturally satisfied. Finally, they gathered around a long table in the golden main banquet hall, with pure white tablecloths and exquisite ceramic tableware, and enjoyed a Western dinner without alcohol.

The next morning, the guests wandered around, and the main building occupies a negligible area. The whole estate is three hundred acres in area, full of greenery, and there is a huge artificial lake, which is rare for friends who live in the desert.

This also aroused their urgency.

An Feng did not procrastinate, and after the morning, the plane took them to the field.

The first is the greenery around Los Angeles, which started nine months ago and is now happening. Lush vegetation has grown, a large area around it is fragrant with green grass, and a green ring of protection surrounds this lacked city, making it incredible to observe from the air.

"Are they really plants that are less than a year old?" Khalid asked, looking down from the helicopter and seeing the lush vegetation all around, although it could not be compared to the one that grows in the well-watered area, compared to the original satellite imagery. The change is terrifying.

"Believe in the power of technology." An Feng said.

"At this rate, in a few years, Los Angeles will be able to become a green satellite city." Khalid said. Looks like you've done your homework.

"Perhaps, it's just too far from the central area for business." An Feng looked at the ground below and said, wait until the green trees grow taller and the grass and trees are lush, and then connect the water pipe. It is not realistic to create a commercial area, but it is more than enough to create a residential area with excellent conditions and clean air.

"I love this technology." Said also said, his eyes full of yearning.

An Feng said: "Move on to the next item? ”

Khalid nodded: "Please continue." ”

Helicopter return. This time near the coastal area, An Feng plans to take them on a tour of a small desalination plant provided by Ann's Industries and promoted by Green Earth - because of its size, it is a bit of a misnomer, and it should be a desalination station.

Advanced technology from the future has greatly improved the efficiency and effect of seawater desalination, but the cost is decreasing, and An Feng invited them to taste the desalination freshwater for themselves. Middle Eastern guests are very knowledgeable, and they are in frequent contact with desalinated seawater, so it's easy to tell the difference.

Khalid took a sip and looked incredulous: "Is this really desalination?" ”

"I promise, why don't you stop the machine and we'll do it all over again?"

"Again." Khalid really didn't believe it, and the staff explained it later, plus a demonstration, and they tried a few more bites.

Khalid put down the cup and said solemnly: "Are you considering transferring this technology?" ”

Said also looked at An Feng, he was a step late, but the meaning in his heart was the same.

An Feng said: "It is a business supporting the green earth, it is impossible to transfer technology, and we still have to do business in other countries, but it is the most compromise way to build a large-scale desalination water plant with you as a joint venture, with us providing the technology, and you holding and operating it." ”

An Feng has no intention of controlling these technologies, because the desalination water plants in these countries are all state-owned, and it is impossible for the locals to control them, let alone a group of foreigners? Therefore, he did not consider being able to control, but only hoped to occupy more shares and let the other party buy the transferred shares with cash.

"We have to talk in detail," Khalid said. ”

An Feng said: "I can only recommend this to you, and the business matter will be handled by the company or my private team." ”

"That's the bare minimum just now?" Khalid asked.

"So to speak." An Feng nodded.

"Good." Khalid said that there is already an idea in his head, and this opportunity must be seized, whether it is a green environment or fresh water, which will play a key role in the future, and when the oil is gone, they must find a way to develop sustainably.

The outside world generally thinks that the oil countries in the Middle East are short-sighted and wait for the end of the oil pumping, but in fact, they are not stupid, and have been using money to find other ways out, just like Dubai has built itself into a tourist city, which is undoubtedly a new way after the oil is exhausted.
