Chapter 438: Accumulating Strength
The location of this private island is fantastic, and the climate is very pleasant, with the sun scorching in most of the area in August, but the sea breeze here creates an effect similar to that of the San Francisco Bay Area, and the summer is still refreshing and not overly hot.
An Feng was lying under the coconut tree drinking coconut water at this time, and the bear child was playing elsewhere, and I heard that he was going to fly a kite, and no one disturbed him very happily.
But there is a lot of money and a lot of things, and some socials can't be avoided.
Matthew brought him a piece of news, saying that he was going to engage in relationships every few days and accumulate some political strength.
An Feng asked: "Here in Sardinia?" ”
Matthew sat down and said, "The mayor and some councillors are holding a charity reception, and we are close, so we will stop by to participate." You know that the consortium has some centers of gravity in Western Europe and Southern Europe, and our fund operation plan, which is connected here, requires a dual relationship between politics and economics. ”
"Official?" An Feng asked.
"Yes." Matthew nodded, "I know some other political stars, maybe I will need it in the future." ”
"Like Anderson and the like before?" An Feng knows that the political stars in the eyes of the consortium are generally very promising and worth investing in.
"That's right, Anderson is a success story for our investment." Matthew said that in his eyes, politicians will always be a commodity to invest in.
"I'll go." An Feng said that it is not an important matter, and Matthew will not call him specially, because the two bigwigs appear at the same time, and the benefit must be big enough.
After lying down and chatting a few words, An Feng received a video call and said hello: "Khalid, how are you doing?" ”
"Looking for something to do." Khalid said, "You look relaxed over there. ”
"I was in a nice place with sunny beach and absolute privacy." An Feng turned his phone and asked Khalid to look at his surroundings.
"I'm so envious!" "It's too hot here in Qatar. You can only soak in the pool every day. ”
"Why don't you come too?" An Feng sent out an invitation, "I'm on a private island in Sardinia, and there are a lot of rooms, all of which are my own people. ”
Khalid seemed to be unable to take it anymore: "Okay, I'll go over this afternoon." ”
Hanging up the call, An Feng shrugged at Matthew: "This is probably going to have to be a relationship." ”
Matthew smiled and said, "Keep coping." In recent years, their cooperation with us has also been very good, and oil futures are still very fun. ”
Later in the day, Khalid's plane with diplomatic privileges arrived in Italy, and a little later, the helicopter arrived.
This time he was dragging his family, and his wife, Henieer, and two boys came. Unlike Khalid, who ostensibly accepts Western culture and represents a free body, the head of the family has the right to decide on marital matters, and ultimately what Lebanese girlfriend is. Mixed-race supermodels are all a thing of the past.
But it didn't owe him either, his wife is the daughter of a wealthy businessman, not to mention her beauty, she has also stayed abroad, and Khalid has a lot of common topics, An Feng attended their wedding banquet four years ago, but when she turned around, the news of pregnancy came, and then two little boys were born. To say that there is no emotion is false.
An Feng stepped forward to hug Khalid warmly against the wind and waves, and performed the most cordial left and right three veneer salutes.
"You're so fast. I thought it was a joke! An Feng said loudly, the plane was very loud.
Khalid also whispered in his ear: "Qatar is too hot!" If I don't come to you, I'll choose other cool places for a vacation! ”
"Welcome!" An Feng said loudly.
Then Henieer also took the initiative to reach out to him, and An Feng shook hands with her.
Heniya is indeed different from the average Arab woman, as you can tell from the clothes she wears Prada's latest fashion. Stepping on six-centimeter high heels, her hair covered with a trendy headscarf, and a pair of sunglasses, she looks like a rich lady who has come on vacation.
"Welcome!" An Feng let go of his hand and said to the two children in Arabic, "Jihad." Hello, Krimu! ”
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ahn." The two children speak English.
This scene seems to be reversed...... But it also proves how open the Khalid family is. They left the place briskly and took a battery car to the resort center, where the other friends had already had dinner, but they all came to welcome them out of politeness, and said hello or two, and seemed very welcoming.
The next day, Xiaoyu and her two friends also arrived, and the island became more lively.
Khalid's wife, Henier, had no taboos, and also went into a bikini, soaking in the hotel pool, and communicating in English proficiently with her mother. The men were more active, there was a light rain last night, and the beach was a little wet in the morning, and they went out in ATVs.
After having enough, enjoy the cool under the coconut tree.
Anfeng, Matthew, and Khalid lay under a tree, beer and juice in a portable freezer.
There are a lot of things that can be said in this kind of leisure time, and it's not all about play, it's about business. Qatar, as the Middle East agent of BD Beverages, has frequent contacts with the consortium, coupled with the cooperation of greening and desalination, the local environment has been greatly improved.
This also avoids the conflict between new energy and oil, Khalid knows that the new trend is inevitable, GP companies do not come up with new batteries, other companies will sooner or later, the gasoline industry has shrunk to 70% of the original, but with the support of other industries, it doesn't matter.
After all, the world is not just about burning oil in cars, there is no need to rush to deplete oil resources, and they can be preserved as a kind of liquid gold. They are more open-minded in this regard, and together with Xin's Energy's large-scale cooperation, they have coordinated the action of batteries and stabilized the price of oil.
Matthew and Khalid were talking about oil futures, as if they wanted to make a big deal.
……
A few days later, they had a charity reception in the capital, Cagliari.
The host of the invitation was the mayor of the district, His Excellency Mancini, who was in his third year in office and was in great need of popularity and support, as were Western politicians. Although An Feng is not Italian, he has a lot of Italian friends, who are relatively heavy and grasp some large enterprises.
Before the banquet, they had some snacks and then changed into formal clothes and left on time.
It was an official charity reception, with 10 days' notice, including the news media, and the content was open to the public, at a local hotel, with local investors and politicians among guests. And like An Feng, a group of four of them belong to the special guests.
Even though Italy and England are quite far apart, it does not prevent the guests at the banquet from hearing about Joanna's name, and many of them know her. After entering, there was a flurry of communication, and Mancini personally served as an introducer to introduce important guests to An Feng and Joanna.
Mancini was fifty or sixty years old. It looks relatively strong, and it is very decent to wear a suit, if it is not for the slight upheaval of the abdomen. His black hair is embellished with a touch of silver, and he is white but dark-skinned, which is basically a characteristic of the people of southern European countries.
An Feng and Mancini have met many times, and they have also cooperated with his nephew in business, so they are very familiar.
"Mr. Ahn, this is Rez, a well-known local Democratic congressman." Mancini introduced An Feng to a young politician in his forties.
"Hello. Mr. Rez, we meet again! An Feng smiled and shook hands with the other party, to say that his circle of friends is also quite wide, and he has met with Rez twice, once at the local presidential banquet, when it was a banquet for investors who contributed to the country's economy.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ann." Rez shook his hand warmly, "Honorable Lady Ann. You're still as glamorous as ever. ”
"Thank you, sir." Joanna also used an Italian sentence. It's a bit similar to the French, and they like to be called crookedly.
Rez was first introduced by Austin's cousin, who was a member of Italy's largest left-wing Democratic Party, and An Feng remembered it more clearly, because the predecessor of the left-wing Democratic Party was the Italian Communist Party = Prostitution = Party, the largest party in the country. It has also been the largest in Sardinia in recent years.
Rez is what Matthew calls a political star, a two-faced figure who is very promising to go further. And he is still an inconspicuous character for An Feng now, but Rez knows how to grasp the relationship of international capitalists. Touching preferences, chatted enthusiastically for a few minutes.
"We are absolutely supportive of Mrs. Ann's philanthropic cause, and the people of Sardinia will remember your loving contributions!" ”
"I also hope that this will arouse the love of more people." Joanna speaks in English, and her Italian will only be simple sentences.
An Feng translated appropriately, and Rez nodded: "Society is lacking caring people like you. ”
After a little more emotion, continue to turn around, people are interested in getting to know Joanna and her husband, for tonight's cocktail party, these are the highest-ranking guests, the others are locals, in terms of international influence and economic power, can not be compared.
After the exchange lasted for half an hour, the charity reception began the theme.
In recent years, research has brought a lot of benefits to world medicine and overcome terminal diseases, but the high cost of treatment is still a threshold, and ordinary families need more people to show love and help.
The other invitees donated one after another, the amount varied, ranging from a few hundred euros to thousands of euros, and Joanna set an example, donating 300,000 euros of love funds by check, and the amount of donations from the rest of the audience was probably not as much as she had donated.
Mancini applauded: "Thank you Baroness Joanna for your generosity, I thank you on behalf of the people of Sardinia!" Everyone will remember! ”
Others also applauded, and there was still some admiration, but there were also indignant thoughts that Lao Tzu would donate so much if he had money. There are very few people in the world who can do this, and Joanna has done it, and she has become the most special. Later, she was invited to speak on stage.
She didn't prepare any speeches, but she did improvisation, spoke a few words in English, someone in the audience was translating, and soon, she continued to win applause and the spotlight of the cameraman.
The charity activities that took time off during the holidays were successful, and when I returned to the island the next day, the local newspapers began to report on it. Sardinia is a calm place, usually nothing big happens, and if something happens, it will spread far and wide, like this baronet's good deed, it has become a hot topic.
The place is small and a little new, and the residents will talk about it, and the locals admire her kindness and remember the name. What no one expected was that in the future, her name would forever be imprinted in people's hearts and be closely related to this land. (To be continued......)
