An Feng now has to worry about spending money again.

It is almost conventional, at the beginning of each year, this kind of "trouble with money" is repeatedly staged, and the more you play, the 1.25 billion taxes given by John are the best case of reasonable tax avoidance, according to the direct calculation of the tax law, An Feng has to hand over a huge personal tax of 3 billion US dollars to the tax bureau.

It can be deducted, but it does not mean that Anfeng's taxable income can be used freely, the personal deduction amount is limited, and the business expenditure amount is also limited, and he has to strictly follow the procedures to consume in order to reach 1.25 billion individual income tax. The actual individual income tax paid is often much higher than the ideal value.

This is the reason why An Feng considered spending money - he went to invest in the company, bought a super cruise ship, and burned more than a billion dollars, which is better than paying taxes, and losing 800 is of course a bit of a self-loss, but he can choose between being able to control and hand over to the tax bureau, and there is no doubt that the former is more acceptable.

To put it more realistically, he doesn't have a goal of investing in a company now.

For example, GP companies, at present, they have sufficient funds to support any technology research and development and commercial operations, and their scientific research activities are based on the correct theory, research and development needs to spend much less than other enterprises, commercial operations are monopolistic nature, and they are not bothered.

And then there's the research center, too. Anfeng only allocates the phone fee for patent authorization this time, and the commercial operation of the research center enterprise, such as rapid cancer cure and dividends from anti-cancer drugs, is also hundreds of millions, which is enough for them to operate...... And so do other companies.

They are well-developed and well-funded, and they clearly do not need to be reinvested.

"So it's nerve-wracking right now." An Feng confided in Joanna.

She listened to An Feng's distress and came up with an idea: "You can think about the longer term, nuclear energy, global warming and other things you mentioned earlier." ”

"It's a plan, too." An Feng said.

An Feng decided to make a longer-term plan, considering the research and development of robots, he invested in two more 3D printers. A superconductor project that cost tens of millions of dollars and reinvested a billion dollars to develop derivatives such as superconducting generators, ferrofluids and nuclear fusion reactions in addition to superconductors.

Then there was the issue of quantum technology, and he decided to set up an independent research institute. Prepare a $500 million fund to help them break through faster - of course, the staff is the original, even the office is the original, just a separate organization from the GP company, so it is easy to use the funds.

In the end, he invested $100 million in the "Green Earth Project" and set up a $500 million fund to support the development of the plan, and then linked the desalination project of Ann's Industries to the Green Earth to form a closer team. Hire another group of environmental analysts.

A few long-term money has been thrown, and two billion dollars have a destination. It covers the future of global quantum communication, quantum computing and artificial intelligence, robotics and stereoscopic molding technology, the future green earth and clean energy. There is no doubt that they are options that have potential in the future and are also in line with Anfeng's goals.

After spending so much money, he has been able to deduct 700 million personal taxes, most of which belong to business expenses, and he can spend the rest more easily, such as buying some collectibles. Prepare some jewelry or luxury accessories for Joanna, and then decorate your overseas island. Continue to burn money, sports, etc.

Considering that his consumer demand in the United States is almost saturated, which means that private demand is starting to decline, he plans to turn more of his profit share into offshore companies, which will avoid a lot of taxes. Of course, it is not convenient to spend on a corporate account, but it is even more inconvenient to pay taxes.

……

A few days later, An Feng was invited to the race track for a test drive.

Last test of a Maserati electric car. He just observed, not experienced. However, for a car lover, being able to drive a brand new car on the track is a very exciting thing. Bruno, president of North America, sees this as well.

Of course, anyone who sees An Feng's museum. can understand the heart of the owner of the venue.

This time, An Feng was invited to participate in the test of two models, namely the "President" of the luxury sedan and the "GT" of the sports car. In fact, it has already been tested, both cars are ready for series production, and the all-electric model will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March this year.

After An Feng arrived at the racing track by helicopter, the vehicle was ready.

Bruno and Robert, the director of the circuit, were there, and after they shook hands with each other, Bruno said: "I heard Mr. Robert say, Mr. Ann, you are an amateur driver, and your skills are no less than professional, please forgive me for looking away last time, I didn't expect Mr. Robert's interests to be so widespread." ”

An Feng smiled: "I take it as an attitude and like high-speed sports." ”

"They'll surprise you!" Bruno said, getting out of the way, there were two cars behind him, the president of Champagne Gold and the GT of Carbon Black.

An Feng walked up to the president: "What's changed?" ”

Bruno said: "Compared to the last large-volume single electric motor, it is too massive, this time we have introduced dual electric motors, combined output of 550 horsepower, focusing on comfort, accelerating to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, and the top speed is 305km/h." In normal mode, a single-motor rear drive can be used, which is more energy-efficient and has a driving range of up to 650 kilometers. In dual-motor mode, it can reach 450 kilometers with a power-optimized system. ”

"Dual motors? That's cool! An Feng's eyes lit up.

He can't wait to get on the car to test, the interior has changed dramatically compared to the past, the central control instrument panel has been replaced with an LCD display, there is a large-size display device next to it, and a HUD (head-up display) function has been added, which can display information such as speed and power on the windshield, and raise your head to drive.

After a few laps of the F1 track, due to the positioning of a luxury car, it is naturally impossible to be as turbulent as a sports car, and Anfeng is also judged according to the standards of luxury cars. The results were satisfying, with fast acceleration, a strong start, and a very quiet sound.

The power mode switch is simple, and the maximum speed is 150 in single-motor mode, which is suitable for almost all roads. If you want to get more surging power, turn on the dual-motor mode, which can achieve 100 in four seconds, with a continuous flow of power, and can reach a speed of more than 305 kilometers per hour.

An Feng suggested increasing the level of luxury, this time Maserati also added, and the president finally had the appearance of the president, and multimedia equipment was added to the back row. The central armrest has a small refrigerator for two bottles of champagne, a retractable computer desk, a seat massage and much more.

On the outside, it looks similar to the petrol version, but on the inside it has changed, both in terms of riding and driving. It feels very atmospheric. After getting out of the car, take a look around, as stylish as ever, while the disappearing exhaust pipe at the rear of the car shows its special status and enjoys the high-end.

Next up is the most anticipated sports car.

The Maserati GT is a sports car that pursues comfort, giving the impression of gentleness, without the irritability and madness of its fellow brother Ferrari, and is decent. This time, Bronaud said: "It is also a dual motor, with a high-performance version of the battery, the motor can output 630 horsepower." The acceleration to 100 km/h is maintained in 3.2 seconds, the top speed can reach 335 km/h, and the range of a single motor is 600 km/h. ”

An Feng looked carefully, the shape has changed, the body that compromises to aerodynamics is smoother, the previous GT top speed does not exceed 300, and it takes four or five seconds to break 100. This time the opponent was replaced by Ferrari's best-selling 458, or even the higher-end F12. Performance can only be described as manic.

According to Bruno again. The electric motor is very small, 20 kg each. What is this concept? In the case of the V8 engine, the weight is generally 180 to 200 kg, the Lamborghini V12 engine weighs more than 230 kg, and the current power core is only 40 kg.

Wear a helmet on board, it's a two-seater. It's not the two-door, four-seater of the past. In pursuit of lightweight, the seats are racing seats, which are fixed and relatively stiff. The central control is also simplified, with only a large LCD screen. A head-up display can be used to allow the driver to focus more on driving.

An Feng pressed the start button to start the motor.

The sound of pure electric is very slight, compared to the past, it has no clutch, there is no such thing as paddle shifters behind the steering wheel, and there are several key keys at hand, such as reverse, normal gear, and hill climbing. In addition, there are three modes: Sport, Track and ESC-OFF.

It seems that it was born for racing, and even the comfort mode is skipped.

An Feng first ran in sports mode, stepped on the electric door and couldn't hear the roar of the engine, the feeling of pushing the back came directly, the body pressed tightly on the seat, watching the speed of the digital display continue to climb up, before reaching the first corner, the speed of the sports car has reached 280 kilometers per hour.

The strongest supercar that An Feng has ever driven can reach 310 before high-speed corners, and in sports mode, the performance of the GT is also outstanding, continuing to corner, braking to slow down, and stepping on the electric pedal to accelerate...... After several hairpin bends and high-speed bends in a row, the most unsuitable thing for Anfeng is that he does not need to change gears.

In the past, it was always accurate to control the gear and maintain the speed, but now just step on the electric door and watch the speed of the motor exceed 10,000, 20,000, the high speed is comparable to that of a F1 car, and the motor has a utilization rate of more than 85% of the energy, which is far higher than the level of gasoline, and the speed is more violent.

After running five laps in a row, An Feng's fastest lap is 1 minute and 43 seconds, and the electric car is against the sky! Although it takes 3.2 seconds to accelerate to 100 kilometers, the electric motor will not be able to follow up in the acceleration section of 0-200 kilometers and 0-300 kilometers, and it will have inexhaustible power at any speed.

After the test run, An Feng sighed: "Dual motors are simply a new era of electric vehicles!" ”

"Of course." Bruno also thinks so, "as long as the electric energy is guaranteed, the development of electric motors will be more vigorous, at present we have only tapped a small part of the potential of electric motors, but the gasoline engine is almost to the limit, the future will definitely be electric." ”

They were also talking about the cost.

With such outstanding performance and no low cost, the high-performance version of the battery is tailor-made by GP Energy, even the battery system is the most rational use of resources. In addition, although the motor is assembled by them, the core components are purchased, and they carry out performance tuning.

The cost of these two is very high, but fortunately, the market positioning of this model has been improved, and its opponent is no longer the original ordinary sports car, but the Ferrari 458, Lamborghini Huracan, Porsche 911 This grade, the price can also be raised to the level of 20 to 250,000 US dollars.

In this way, the profit is actually quite good.

But how to promote it and change people's stereotypes? Let more people know that after separating from Fiat, Maserati has risen to prominence?

An Feng had an idea: "How about holding a series of events?" ”

Bruno asked: "Specific?" ”

"In the U.S., you need 10 to 15 drivers to find three or five race venues, and then provide racing cars to attract drivers with high rewards, just like your previous Trofeo-MC World Championships, and now you have an MC challenge that promotes pure electric vehicles, how about doing it?"

Bruno nodded: "That's a good idea." ”

"I can sponsor this series if I need to." Anfeng is now the least short of money, "including its title, sponsorship and event rewards, etc." (To be continued......)
