Although it is not yet certain whether the land will be available...... However, An Feng is determined to win, whether it is a relationship between money or people, he has it. There is naturally no shortage of money, and he can still afford tens of millions; And people, through Brulane's connections, got to know some local officials who knew the details.

In fact, it is money that plays a leading role. As long as there is money, the government, as the auctioneer, will not mind who it sells to. An Feng left satisfied, and looked at the land there again, the location is very good, the transportation advantage is also there, it is surrounded by a rich area, the quality is high, and the security is very good.

The rest is the choice of style.

In search of inspiration, he and Joanna used their vacation to visit Hearst Castle in SLO.

Built on the top of the hill with a view of the mountains, Hearst Castle uses the architectural styles of various European periods, that is, the luxury of blending various architectural cultures into a cauldron to create the illusion of a deep history - you have to forgive the poor history of the United States.

Most of the wealthy people in the United States admire European culture, and they also fantasize about living a luxurious and elegant life of European aristocracy, and have an aristocratic temperament. So Hearst Castle imitated it well, but unfortunately it was donated to the government before it was built. Some people say that there is not enough money, and others say that the family has a better castle.

After a visit, Anfeng feels luxurious, every detail of the castle is very exquisite, but it is always not right, maybe the religious atmosphere of the building is too strong, and I feel a sense of solemnity. It will feel fresh at first, and it will be replaced by dullness after a long time.

Joanna looked at the towering castle in the courtyard: "The sun is shining, the blue sea and blue sky environment should be very relaxing, but it is a little less lively. ”

An Feng nodded: "Yes, like an old man in the twilight." ”

So this style is not for them. Later, through online and on-site visits, they came up with a more suitable plan, referring to the Catherine Palace in Russia. A palace with a baroque style – it can also be said to be the Russian version of Versailles, but with a much more vibrant color.

Although they didn't get to visit the site, the pictures taken by the sightseeing were very beautiful, and the buildings were in an east-west direction, that is, a long row, two stories high. The opal white walls echo the blue and gold accents, creating a strong contrast of colors, giving a sense of grandeur and luxury.

The front and back yards of the palace are very wide, and the garden is beautifully laid out, with green grass and rippling lakes. The interior of the palace is even more royal style to the limit, and the magnificent corridors make only luxury in the eyes. At the same time, some blues and whites dilute the glitz.

After reading the introduction, Joanna said: "Back then, it was the holiday palace of the female tsar, with bright colors and lively style, which was used to let the queen relax and escape the summer." According to some wild histories, Catherine II and her favored retainers were ...... inside"

An Feng pinched Joanna's face, but praised the building: "It's this kind of freshness and elegance." There is no shortage of luxurious style to be suitable. If it is too solemn, it will be like the castle in front. The roof is high and the colors are monotonous, so if you go to the bathroom at night, you will probably feel very eerie! ”

"Coward." Joanna laughed at him, "You decided to go with this flamboyant baroque style?" ”

An Feng nodded: "Of course, it's very good, isn't it?" ”

Joanna said, "Really? It's the Queen's Bedchamber! ”

An Feng shrugged: "What does it matter?" We just like it. The rest. It's up to the designer to use their imagination according to the requirements. ”

Joanna longed: "I really look forward to it, it belongs to our palace!" ”

Finally, it was decided to build their future mansion in the contrasting style of the resort palace. Of course, the proportion has to be appropriately reduced, and of course there is enough land, but there are not many people. It is also necessary to alleviate the sense of emptiness brought about by that majestic atmosphere, after all, it is not a royal palace that is being built, but a private mansion.

The construction of the imperial palace took more than ten years, or even decades, and this was still under the condition that the emperor funded the construction and gathered the national experts. If you come privately, I'm afraid you don't have so much financial and material support. Could it be that the day I want to move in, I am already old on crutches?

Therefore, pay attention to enjoyment, enjoy it in the most beautiful years of life, and don't recall the passion of the year until you are old. Anfeng hopes that the construction period will be three years, and the longer period can be four years. At that time, if you have children, you may be able to take your wife and children and walk through the royal gardens together.

……

After deciding on the style of their mansion, Joanna went to prepare for the end of the semester. An Feng took a trip to the vineyard - now it should be "Ann's Winery". The vineyard has been transformed from a vineyard to a homegrown winery, full of vigor and ready to soar.

John Sr., the steward of the winery, is in charge of everything from picking the grapes to hiring senior winemakers. Lin Hai is only responsible for marketing, how to sell the wine to more people, expand its brand effect, and seize the market...... It sounds like everyone's confidence is strong.

And Old John suggested that Anfeng could appropriately reduce the planting area a little.

An Feng asked, "For what?" ”

John Sr. explained with a smile: "Because the underground cellar has a limited winemaking workshop, and the production is too high, it will invisibly lower its value. Referring to the famous estates in France, the total area is large, but their grape cultivation area is maintained at about 100 acres, and the yield is stable. ”

An Feng said: "But that's a big enough reputation, we haven't been famous yet, right?" ”

"Don't worry, the quality of the grapes is so good that even Frank, who bought the grapes, keeps praising it as the best he has ever seen," said John Sr. ”

"Is it biofertilizer?" An Feng pondered that he had indeed asked Tailan to help him produce some before, but unfortunately now Tailan has changed hands.

The affairs of the winery were left to John Sr. to be responsible, and An Feng went to meet with the design team of the racetrack, this time the design has been completed, and they will contract the construction of the racetrack, which is expected to be completed in about a year and a half. According to An Feng's request, he paid $200 million for the contract first.

In fact, this money is a lot, the contract money is generally charged in advance 10%-20% of the amount, Anfeng once give half enough, naturally for the purpose of tax avoidance, commercial investment in the calculation of taxes, can reasonably offset this part of the tax, a total of more than 60 million.

After the contract was signed, it was supposed that the construction team would be able to work, but it would not be at this time when it came to Thanksgiving and Christmas in the Americans. An Feng despised it, commuting from 9 to 5, and the salary in the same industry was three times that of China, and he refused to work overtime.

Complaining is complaining, and the contractor guarantees that for a year and a half, they will naturally have their confidence. If they don't do well, according to the contract, they will compensate An Feng a lot of liquidated damages, and they should worry about the progress of the project, not themselves. Once you figure it out, you're relaxed and waiting for the upcoming holidays.

At the end of November, the design team of the Turku shipyard finally completed the design of the cruise ship to the satisfaction of both An Feng and Joanna after more than a dozen revisions.

The Queen is similar to the two largest cruise ships in the world designed by the Turku shipyard before, after all, there is not much difference in tonnage, with two rows of buildings on the left and right, a total of 16 decks, two spanning buildings in front and rear, 16 floors, with suite 1 in front and a casino and indoor swimming pool in the back.

The middle part of the cruise ship is vacated, and it is divided into two platforms. The upper deck, roughly on the ninth deck, is designed as a luxury shopping mall and central park. The lower level, which is about three decks, is dominated by a cinema, a theater and an indoor ice rink.

There are many other details, but An Feng's main focus is on Suite 1 on the top floor of the foredeck, which will span two rows of buildings on the left and right, and the shape is high-spirited and streamlined. It is located on an elevated place with the best view and can overlook the sea; Spanning two rows of buildings, it also overlooks the public area underfoot.

The rooms are duplex with three bedrooms on the upper floor, with an outdoor observation deck and an open indoor balcony with a view of the exclusive pool on the lower floor and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the ocean. The lower level is a collection of various living areas, relaxation areas and libraries for enjoyment and luxury.

Suite 1 will be the most luxurious and in the best location. It has a floor area of about 1,500 square meters, and Anfeng has enlarged it because the construction of this cruise ship is a gift to Joanna. The commercial nature of the cruise ship is for tax avoidance considerations, as well as for the recovery of operating costs.

It is equivalent to a mobile resort palace, maybe two or three times a year, to have a carnival trip around the Caribbean with tourists from all over the world, or to travel to Europe and the United States or even the world. As the owner of the boat, you will enjoy the top treatment of the most luxurious and comfortable.

When traveling to the sea, we offer a wide variety of services. On the high seas, you can have a good time in the casino, soak up the sun in the pool on the top floor when you are bored, watch a show in the amphitheatre, play golf on the top deck, do some rock climbing on the large aft platform, or wander around the spacious upper and lower decks for a shopping spree and a delicious meal from all over the world...... It can be said that as long as it can be done on land, it can be done almost here, or even better.

The last is the data, which is called "Queen-Joanna", that is, "Queen Joanna". With a length of 365 meters, a width of 65 meters and a height of 75 meters, it can accommodate 6,500 visitors and 2,000 crew members. The displacement is 230,000 tons, and it will probably be a few hundred tons more when it is completed, but it cannot be less, otherwise it will not be able to break the world record.

An Feng and Joanna were very satisfied with the design drawings, so they called a lawyer, checked that it was correct, signed the contract, and paid them 600 million US dollars through Dayang Shipping Company. The next day, the other party notified the account and promised to complete the construction of the largest cruise ship with the highest priority and speed. (To be continued......)
