In some ways, An Feng is rich but too low-key, and even his business card omits a lot of entrepreneurial halos, leaving only the name of "philanthropist". If there is also a GP company director or something above, the big backer effect will be enhanced a lot, but he is too lazy to "decorate" the business card to boost his confidence.

His low profile is relative, at a high level that ordinary people can't reach, conglomerates and big families come into contact with him every once in a while, and in political circles, senators, governors or the president of the United States are also familiar with him. If you haven't heard of it, it doesn't mean that you are not famous, but that you are not qualified enough.

With Khalid's connection, things are easy, Khalid is a member of the Qatari royal family, and his dating circle must be high-end, and the friends of local tyrants are also local tyrants...... Saab turned back and eliminated the embarrassment. An Feng doesn't mind, after all, everyone wants to find a big backer.

Swap identities, if An Feng encounters this situation, there is a chance that he will refuse.

After clearing up the misunderstanding, the dinner continues.

The people who go to the banquet are some models or celebrities, to be honest, the circle is quite boring, especially some women, all kinds of small-minded, pretentious, although people are mixed in society, everyone has to wear a mask, An Feng is also the same in the shopping mall, but public figures are obviously more deliberate.

They talk about what they've seen, whether it's a big name they know or a proud opportunity to perform. The key is to get to the point, and to make people feel "understated", and then humbly accept the false congratulations of others...... An Feng admires it, and it deserves to be professional.

Joanna listened to some too, and the smile on her face was somewhat standardized. It's no wonder that the female friends she usually contacts are relatively high-level, and they have a good cultivation, even if they disagree, they laugh it off, but now in the circle. There are too many elements of self-righteousness and comparison.

Until Leila joins the circle and chats with her about her interests, extending to the elegant side.

Since we talk about elegance, Joanna has a lot of topics, outdoor equestrianism, indoor court dance. There is also heroic swordsmanship. As for court dances, waltzes and foxtrots are what she is best at, but unfortunately she says, "My skirt is too tight, so I can only do it in a small way." ”

Leila talks to her about the essence of the five ballroom dances, or discusses equestrianism. There are very few who can keep up with the topic, and in the automatic formation of a boundary, out of low tastes, oriented towards elegance, belonging to the social circle of the ladies and ladies of the real high society: there is no worship. Just talk about fun.

At the end of the dinner and the social dance session, Joanna's dress was very grand, and she could only dance with An Feng in a small way, and as soon as the song fell, she was invited to dance by the big man recognized by the audience, the handsome and golden Arabian prince in the hearts of the ladies. The lights were all on them.

"Can I have this honor, ma'am?" Khalid has his left hand behind his waist. Make an inviting pose with your right hand.

Joanna nodded, "Of course." ”

Khalid is well versed in Western society, and inviting Joanna to dance is a way to highlight her status. The stage alone undoubtedly showed the effect he needed. In John. In Strauss's music, the eyes of all the women in the audience are focused on her. Her British Miss style and noble style also let the ladies see the true elegance, and also let them learn how to dress more deeply in the future.

After the dance, everyone carried out their own projects.

An Feng and Khalid took champagne.

An Feng clinked glasses with him gently, looked at his cup and quipped, "Are you sure?" ”

Khalid clinked glasses with him: "Make a formality." ”

But he added: "Actually, I have tasted wine. Although alcohol is prohibited. But there are also many people who drink secretly, and the society is gradually opening up, and the previous Arab countries could not see alcohol, but there are restaurants in places such as Qatar and Dubai that have begun to provide alcohol to foreign tourists. Times move forward. ”

"In today's society, it's not wrong to let go of some appropriately." An Feng said cautiously, after all, the other party is a Muslim, and he always feels that there are many rules.

Khalid smiled: "I think your impression of us is still just a desolate desert with a lot of oil, and we haven't really experienced it." ”

"I'm sorry." An Feng said.

"It's okay, if you have time, I want to invite you to my home country as a guest, is that okay?" Khalid extended an invitation to him.

As early as when he was in England, Khalid invited him, but at that time, An Feng had something to refuse, and now he is very free, and it seems a little shameless to refuse again, after thinking for a few seconds, he nodded and agreed: "If you have time, I will be happy to be a guest." ”

"You can go anytime in March." Khalid said.

An Feng thought about his arrangement and said, "I estimate that I will have to stay in Paris for two days to accompany my friends, and then arrange to be a guest on your side." By the way, is there anything I need to pay attention to? For example, on women's attire, or other taboos? ”

Khalid shook his head: "No, we are not Iran or Saudi Arabia, and no one will mind if foreign women's clothing in public is not too revealing." There aren't many other rules, and Doha has a lot of foreign tourists every year. ”

After chatting with Khalid about something, they took their respective farewells late at night.

The next morning, Anfeng took Joanna to a restaurant with Ellie. Saab meets.

There are not many ingredients to talk about business, after sitting down, they are enjoying exquisite French meals, and then chatting about some topics such as weather, what they see and hear, and preferences, the atmosphere is very calm, and they have been eating until the main course is served and the dessert is served, and they talk about the focus of this meeting.

After the foreshadowing, An Feng said: "It can be said that the main reason why I want to invest is that my wife likes your creativity and only considers the potential." ”

This sentence dilutes the purpose of coming for the sake of shares, and turns it into appreciating the art of designers. Sabo also smiled: "Mrs. Ann is from an aristocratic background, and she has a good temperament to control these beautiful dresses for elegant women. I agree with your aesthetic, she is truly outstanding. ”

"Thank you." Joanna smiled, and Saab spoke with French warmth.

Sabo turned his head to look at An Feng: "What other conditions do you have?" ”

"I hope that my husband will be able to provide customization specifically for my wife in the future. If you can say yes, it will be a pleasure to work with us. An Feng said.

"I wouldn't say no to designing clothes for such a beautiful lady." Saab said.

When it comes to this, cooperation is a matter of price.

An Feng is not good at talking about business, and Saab is the same, he is a designer, not a corporate executive, and the two exchanged some opinions with each other. The brand Elie-Saab is not very well-known in the world of luxury, but it is very famous in the fashion industry, especially in haute couture.

There is a saying in the circle that only those who can do haute couture can become a luxury product.

Many big brands of goods, constantly reduced prices and promotions, and those who set up branches in various parts of the world will generally be excluded from the ranks of luxury goods. Insiders believe that luxury goods are dead and do not reduce prices, and believe that there will be products that customers will take a fancy to and pay money for.

Therefore, Saab's design is also mostly in custom dresses, not only sought after by European and American actresses, but also in the flagship store in Lebanon, orders have increased year after year, and are welcomed by Middle Eastern royal families, especially open Arab countries. So far, there are more than 70 stores around the world.

Even Saab is also multi-faceted, in addition to dresses and ready-to-wear, there are also perfumes, so it is very valuable to invest, he also wants to find a capable partner, so after the Middle East tyrant Khalid revealed the true origin of An Feng, he attached importance to it, and his attitude also changed.

The initial agreed price is around $300 million, and Anfeng will become the majority shareholder of the brand, as for the holding, Saab is not considered at present. And the next business negotiations, you have to let the assistant, An Feng sent Goodrich in England, and Saab also has his advisers.

The negotiation is estimated to take a while, and An Feng is not very interested, he only needs to know the final result, and then agree or disagree. Their communication with Saab was very pleasant, and the two did not have the business man's calculations, and many places were in the nature of mutual consultation, and they were both happy in the end.

An Feng's investment prospects are good, although Ellie. Saab is just a new debut designer, but the cocoa of the year. Chanel, Louis. Vuitton, Gianni. Versace, or Guccio. Gucci, who of these people didn't start as designers? So don't underestimate the designer.

……

After they attended more press conferences, they also dressed up and pursued their own style, and they were always the most trendy group walking on the street...... Waiting for Paris Fashion Week to be completely over and the trip to France to come to an end, An Feng also invited them to Qatar, but they all had things to do.

Wang Le wanted to return to China, so he said goodbye to him in Paris. Roger has a lot of things to do, and after a few days of vacation, he has to go back to the United States to deal with business...... Only An Feng and Joanna are leisurely, and schools in the United States are now on spring break, so it doesn't matter if she goes back or not.

Originally, Anfeng planned to go to Qatar with Joanna, but received a call from Hlandek that afternoon.

Friedman. Feng. Herlandek, who is the manager of the Credit Suisse account at Anfeng. In the past few years, in the face of complaints from the European and American governments led by the United States against major Swiss banks, Switzerland has finally made public the accounts related to tax evasion, or the accounts of Americans.

For the offshore company account with a very vague nature, Helandek kept it very well for An Feng, and was very conscientious, never asked about the cost of An Feng's money, and would not recommend An Feng to buy any financial products like other bank managers, in short, he managed it quietly for him.

The price that makes him quiet is very high, $1.5 million a year, and he will help An Feng deal with all kinds of loopholes in the company's account becoming private consumption, and also add some "technical means" to make it impossible to find out the connection between the account and An Feng himself, and carry out multiple all-round protection.

But this time, the reason why he urgently knew Anfeng was that his deposits had become smaller.

Of course, 1.4 billion dollars is not less - but in Swiss francs, pounds and so on, it is less, because the dollar is depreciating! Herlandek told him that a year ago he had exchanged 1.4 billion for pounds, almost 860 million, and now there were only 830 million, and 30 million pounds out of thin air. (To be continued......)
