Chapter 239: Take it all away
The research center has two major R&D directions.
It is difficult to distinguish the size of the market between cancer drugs and biological beverages, but according to An Feng's estimate, in the long run, it should be the latter with great potential. Drinks, on the other hand, are relatively inexpensive and suitable for almost all groups of people.
After returning to the vineyard, he had a lot of ideas, the beverage company can be said to be the trend of the future, in order to make its taste more acceptable to the public, you can consider different flavors, anyway, these added drugs rarely show rejection, it is a universal type, even put it in the pot to cook no problem.
Going around to the back, the most important thing is the taste of the drink.
An Feng thought about it for a few days, and there was no good way, but if he really thought that his "few days" were very long, it would be very wrong, that is, for ten minutes, and then the bear child came to tease him, the little tiger came to rub him, and his wife came to get tired of him...... Then ride a horse with everyone, and the day will pass.
He summed this up as a way of thinking of "steady progress", and the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness and beauty...... Finally, the day of the Pebble Beach Motor Show has arrived, and this time the flagship models offered by Anfeng, which are Ferrari's F50 and ENZO, as well as McLaren's F1 and P1, are all heavyweights.
But he did not participate in the activities on the first two days, and only went to the exhibitions on the third and fourth days.
On the morning of the third day, a professional trailer hired by An Feng arrived and carefully transported the sports cars worth more than 10 million US dollars. An Feng's family is on the move, and the bright red convertible California is the first choice for travel. Joanna handed out sunglasses to everyone and set off in a noisy manner.
Due to Xiaoyu's lack of age, he couldn't sit in the passenger seat, so his brother-in-law could only drive a four-seater car. Anfeng has a lot of sports cars, but all of them are two-seater, and there are no four-seater sports cars...... Drive slowly along the California Highway. Blowing the sea breeze to Monterrey, the auto show is being prepared.
The Pebble Beach Auto Show is different from some international auto shows in that it is open-air in nature, the style is relatively free, and the exhibitors can be both manufacturers and private individuals. There are almost no car models, which are generally placed on the lawn and displayed at will, more like a huge fan event, and the commercial atmosphere is not strong.
The theme of the Pebble Beach Auto Show is classic cars...... However, in recent years, the exhibition has not only been a stage for classic cars, but also modern sports cars and futuristic concept cars. It's a classic car show, but you go there and you see a bunch of concept cars. Taking a few steps back, Anfeng's McLaren F1 is also old.
So he sent four flagship sports cars in a hurry. Originally, it was planned to send the Porsche 918, but unfortunately there were not enough booths, and there were not connected together, so the 918 could only wait for the next appearance - maybe next time it should stay in the exhibition hall of the Anfeng Circuit.
β¦β¦
The weather in California is still sunny and clear, and Xiaobai, who is held in Joanna's arms, is experiencing a convertible for the first time, and from time to time he raises his head to look at the backward scenery around him. Both eyes are full of surprise, and some cute gestures also make Joanna laugh constantly.
After everyone arrived. Entering along the road built by the golf course, Joanna wore a plain dress and a round-brimmed hat, hugged An Feng's arm, and walked the "big flower cat" with a rope in the other hand. Little Tiger is very eye-catching, and everywhere it passes is the star-level treatment of the camera.
This kind of hugging wife. The feeling of hanging out with a wind pet is very chic, An Feng has sunglasses stuck on his nose, and leisurely accompanies him to the auto show. The show lasts for five days, with the opening ceremony on the first day and all models on display. The next day is the highlight of the classic car parade.
The convoy will travel through forests, cliffs, lakes and other historic places, departing in the morning and arriving at noon, and they will travel about 17 miles. If you make it to the finish line, you will be allowed to participate in the classic car race. But some people just drive classic cars out of the air.
The first two days mainly depend on personal preference, An Feng originally wanted to go, but he didn't have a classic car, and his family only wanted to participate in the open-air exhibition, so he only came to participate on the third day. After following the riders, I followed the icon sent by John to the vicinity of the exhibition area, and met the assistant John. Adams.
Naturally, the exhibition also needs a certain amount of manpower management, An Feng can't guard his car, and the assistant has become the first choice, recently John has nothing to do, arrange some work for him, An Feng also said that he is away from the office, come to the outdoors for a little activity, bask in the sun to regulate his body and mind.
An Feng greeted him: "John, why are you still dressed so formally?" β
John's unchanged suit and shirt, like some of the staff around him, was a little too serious. He listened to An Feng's words, and said with a smile: "Professional habits, and I can also be responsible for explaining it later, if someone takes a group photo, I will do it more formally......"
"Ha Luha, whatever you want, please feel free, go shopping, have a glass of champagne, don't stay here all the time!" An Feng said to him.
John smiled, "I will, sir!" β
An Feng nodded, John glanced at Xiaobai a few times, and said, "The pet is very cute, it's a tiger, right?" β
"That's right!" An Feng lowered his head, Xiao Bai was about to bite the introduction sign erected in front of him, he pulled it back and warned it: "Xiao don't pay attention!" β
"Wow! It's so cute! β
When An Feng was "repairing" the little tiger, a girl's voice came from the side, and when he looked up, several big Yanmars stared at Xiaobai with a rare face.
They said, "Sir, can you take a picture?" β
"No problem." An Feng picked up Xiaobai, and the three good-looking Yanmars automatically surrounded him, took a few selfies, and envied others.
Of course, An Feng is still very regular, after all, his wife is watching......
"Can you touch it?" They couldn't get enough of it.
"Of course." An Feng smiled, "Or do you hold it?" β
"Yay! That's the best! They said expectantly, An Feng sent Xiaobai into their arms and instructed: "Be careful, it's not light." β
When Xiaobai arrived in the arms of the beauty, his restless head turned around, and the paw accidentally stretched out to the girl's chest, which made the beauty laugh again and again. It's still the same cute, innocent look. An Feng was speechless when he saw it, fortunately it was a tigress, otherwise he would definitely be called a color embryo.
Let the little tiger and the girls make trouble for a while, and the driver drove An Feng's four sports cars to the exhibition area. Stop on the grass and put a chain around it to prevent accidental scratches. From the moment the sports car enters, there are videographers who are constantly taking pictures and framing, and the attraction of the four flagships is still very strong.
He stood by and enjoyed the crowd β in fact, the car and his pet.
Later, just put the little tiger on the front cover of the sports car and be a model! An Feng put his arm around Joanna and watched. The little star was very cooperative with the camera, and the clicking sound kept sounding, and then let Xiaoyu hold the tiger in front of the car to pose for a photo, and the little girl Xiaomenghu made the voice of the passing lady softer.
β¦β¦
There are many highlights of the exhibition, and An Feng also paid attention to the auction of classic cars, but they are all very common models, and there are no highlights that attract him enough, and there are no classic Ferrari cars. He's planning to get a 250 series, and if the price is right, it's a sure investment.
In the afternoon, he met Howard, who had come to the exhibition.
"Hi Howard, why didn't I see your rare car today?" An Feng said.
"I didn't participate this time, I purely came to participate in the classic car auction." Howard said with a smile.
"Me too, but I'm aiming for a Hyundai sports car, and there will be a bid for several heavy models at 3 p.m. Are you not interested? β
Howard said: "Yes, yes, but this time there were too many competitors. Probably the price will be high, and it's obvious that you're one of them, right? By the way, I just saw your show car, and the four cars are very good, I really envy you for being able to collect so many treasures! β
An Feng greeted him for a while, and the time came to three o'clock.
They walked into the venue together. Due to the dramatic increase in the excitement of the Pebble Beach Motor Show in recent years, the original classic car auction has added an extra link, becoming a classic car auction in the front, a modern car in the back, and then RM. Sotheby's and other industry leaders participated, and there were many heavyweight auction items.
Originally, I heard that there were rumors about Ford GT40 racing cars, but it was confirmed that there was none, otherwise An Feng would also participate in the auction of classic cars and swiped a record of tens of millions of dollars...... This time he only has two Lamborghinis in focus, the first is the Reventon convertible, the "Ravinton" is extremely rare in production, it has an all-carbon fiber design, the shape is inspired by the F22 fighter jet, it is a sports car that can kill men and women in seconds.
The other "sixth element", to be honest, does not have many highlights, but there are few of them, they are all track versions, and for Lamborghini, which is not very good at competition, it does not stand out. That is, its rarity is worth collecting, otherwise An Feng will skip it, because the starting price is 2.8 million US dollars.
The third car, Pagani's Zonda-R, set the NΓΌrburgring Nordschleife record of 6 minutes and 47 seconds, what to say...... The Ferrari ENZO is about 7 minutes and 25 seconds, and the Koenigsegg CCX is 7 minutes and 33 seconds, and very few can run 6 points. But that doesn't make sense, because the R is a race car and the Ferrari is a production car.
An Feng bought it, mainly to see if he could brush Laguna Seka's record, maybe it can run into 1 minute and 30 seconds, plus it is scarce, the appreciation space is relatively high, and it is also worth buying. The cars he bought over the years, although the price is high, the appreciation space is considerable.
He promised to put these cars for a few more years, and the auction would definitely make money.
So in the auction of the first Zonda-R, An Feng let other bidders see what ruthlessness is, and directly brushed it down for $2.5 million, according to its starting price of $2 million, the collector has now made a lot of money. The next Ravington was also won by him for $2.3 million.
Because of this ferocity, when the sixth element started filming, everyone looked at him in unison, this guy was too fierce, it was like he would die if he didn't get it, and everyone couldn't fight...... So when he showed a strong interest in bidding, others gave up.
The price could have soared, but because of this scene, the sixth element was auctioned for 3 million US dollars, which made the money of an ordinary Ferrari - but definitely a lot. Therefore, in this auction, An Feng became the biggest gainer, 7.8 million plus a certain amount of taxes and fees, all taken away. (To be continued......)
