Chapter 170: The Land Has a Fall
After a week of drinking in Los Angeles, Fern and Homan learned to be grateful, and before leaving, they decided to educate their parents and brothers about the boss's status in the United States, his abilities, and his untold wealth...... At the last point, An Feng would never agree.
In any case, the effect of the manifestation was achieved, An Feng generously donated millions of dollars to win a place for Erhei to study in the United States, while these two guys went home to pack their bags and prepare to come to the spring semester after Christmas. At the same time, it also establishes the power that An Feng can have.
If you dare to cheat...... An Feng said he would send a team of paratroopers to their country.
Aegis security has been making a lot of moves recently, and it is said that their chief adviser, Mr. Korotaev, a Russian, has a plan to form a rapid response team.
Not long after the two went back, the good news came, Uto said that after a vote in parliament, the bill was passed, and he was ready to establish diplomatic relations with the Chinese government, and was currently looking for a suitable diplomatic ambassador. The ambassador naturally has nothing to do with An Feng, but a certain number of diplomatic representatives......
An Feng felt that he was a little anxious and exposed his intentions, Uto probably expected that the parliament would pass this bill, and happened to meet a person who was interested in diplomatic representation in China, and with a twist of his brain, a money-making plan immediately popped up, and then there was this scene.
Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy, who said that black people's brains are not easy to use?
If An Feng is calmer, it will not be difficult to bargain, because the only one who is interested and willing to pay is him - who let his motherland be there, and his relatives and friends are also there? To change an American to be too lazy to pay attention to it, to give a few million a year, is to go to a country that does not understand the language?
But whether you lose or earn, it's worth a few million in exchange for diplomatic privileges. As long as there are interests, An Feng will not count small amounts of money...... He spends his time on important things, like watching Joanna's swordsmanship third-place match. The tournament was held at UCB's indoor stadium and was packed to capacity.
After the coach's targeted training, she maintained her condition very well, and wore a decent sword suit on her body. It's as sassy as ever. Before putting on the mask, she smiled at An Feng, and her sweet image won warm applause from the audience, and there was even a small group of fans shouting.
Joanna's opponents are not as high-profile as hers, because when you can't get the crowd shouting in terms of appearance, you should obediently put your energy into the game. The girl was slightly shorter, also blonde, and a little different from Joanna, she held a sword in her left hand. He's left-handed.
Before the bout was ready to start, Joanna and her opponent were both in position two meters from the centerline, standing sideways and pointing their swords at their opponents. The hand without the sword is placed behind him.
As the referee began to speak French, the duel between the two female swordsmen began, and Joanna was in good shape today, confidently taking the lead and taking two steps forward in a row. Lunges split the head and are dodged. Urgently retreat, another stab. The referee lights up and Joanna gets the score.
After the referee called a stop, An Feng and the audience applauded. Fencing is very polite, and only after the referee speaks up can the spectators express their joy. Otherwise, it will affect the performance of the swordsman on the field. Because the saber is the most important for speed and dexterity, the slightest mistake will be defeated.
The two ladies were again in position two meters from the centerline. The saber game is different from foil or epee in that it is very fast in each turn, and unlike the first two swords, which can only stab, the saber can stab and split. It's more focused on how to slash the opponent, so stabbing points are rare.
Joanna's good form continued throughout the next nine minutes, with her opponents always overwhelmed by her confidence and skill, and although she did score occasionally, she didn't have Joanna's crispness. In the last few seconds, Joanna, who was full of fighting spirit, led out the opponent's flaws with two feints, a sword slashed on the head, the referee lit up the colored lights, Joanna scored again, and after the referee shouted to stop, the audience cheered.
The result was already evident, and Joanna played the whole match with ease and ease...... The referee then announced Joanna's final victory and a simple award ceremony was held, with the president of the school fencing association personally presenting the medal to Joanna.
Everyone applauded and congratulated, she had a lot of fans, both men and women, and Daisy was also cheering for her in the fan group...... An Feng stepped forward to hug her, congratulate her, and kiss her, making the male fans look hostile, and finally came out with a goddess with both temperament and appearance, but she was famous.
Daisy said to him jokingly: "Mr. An, the juniors are new fans, and their hearts are fragile, so be careful that you are asked to fight by them tonight." ”
An Feng said with a smile: "Failure will make them grow." ”
Joanna raised the sword in her hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll protect him." ”
Daisy smiled: "Look at you, you have to show affection everywhere!" ”
……
An Feng asked Joanna for some fencing skills, the movements are quite simple, in fact, any sport is simple, track and field is to swing two legs, boxing is to wave two fists, and racing is to turn the steering wheel and throttle...... But how to master it is another world.
Joanna is very happy, because she can bully him openly, and she always wins by herself, and she wants to protect him...... But I don't know who Lu Dao always likes to shrink into his arms at night, An Feng's arm is numb and wants to take it away secretly, and she will grope to find it back when she wakes up.
The weather gradually cooled down, and halfway through November, the second and third patients at the research center were successfully cured, and the results were announced to the whole world. Those who once preached luck, fake science, or showmanship all disappeared or drowned in sarcastic saliva.
Now everyone is wise not to stand on the opposite side of this matter, even if you want to stand, no one will echo you, and when no one pays attention, the opposing voice will naturally disappear.
After that, An Feng attended the caucus meeting again.
This time there were fewer people, so it was a dinner party. Matthew and his wife were present, along with a few other companions, including the owner of the house, Austin. Bruine. Sinclair and Brulane have a complicated relationship, and on the surface you don't see much cooperation, but secretly they are embarrassed.
When outsiders are not there, the theme is relatively relaxed, talking about business, or talking about life, how do you usually play? Where to relax? Skiing in Canada, hunting in Africa, or flying to the southern hemisphere for the summer? It's all high-end enjoyment. An Feng listened, feeling that he had just stepped into the ranks of playing.
Austin said, "I recently bought a piece of land next to it and built a golf course, would you be interested in playing a few shots tomorrow?" ”
Matthew shook his head: "Don't count me in, I still have to participate in the Jockey Club tomorrow." ”
Austin looked at An Feng: "Bruce, are you interested?" ”
An Feng also shook his head: "I have to go to a swordsmanship class tomorrow." ”
Austin looked at the others, and Matthew smiled: "Don't play these boring things, and when you have time, you can go with me to raise a few racing horses and enjoy some elegant life." ”
Austin shook his head, playing golf in front of this group of people, it has become a popular sport, not worth mentioning.
An Feng was interested in the land he bought: "I saw the golf course you mentioned on the plane, it is flat and open, and it is indeed a good place. ”
Austin finally found a confidant: "Of course, it cost a little bit and it was a good idea to build the stadium. ”
An Feng said: "I have recently also wanted to find this kind of flat, broad-sighted, and geographically advantageous land, but unfortunately it is really too little, envy you." ”
"Thank you!" Austin smiled, "But I heard that there is an abandoned park on the north coast of Santa Barbara that is going to be tendered next year, I wonder if you are interested?" ”
"How big?" An Feng asked.
"It's about 302 acres, mostly flat, with cliffs on the other side, and the sand and the ocean below, but there's no stairs to go down," Austin said. ”
Matthew asked, "Bruce, are you going to buy these to build a house?" ”
An Feng nodded: "That's what it means, but it's not sure if it's a castle or something else." ”
Matthew said: "Three hundred acres of flat land, building a castle is wasteful, the castle should choose the top of the hill, a view of the small mountains, refer to Hearst Castle in California." Flat land is only suitable for garden mansions, or manors. The estate needs a quiet environment, and it is not suitable to be too close to the city. ”
An Feng smiled: "You know so much." ”
"I've always had this plan, but not in the United States, but in the United Kingdom," Matthew said. ”
Afterwards, An Feng specially learned the details of the land with Austin, and the enthusiastic Austin also sent a helicopter to take them to the air to observe, the abandoned park has now been bulldozed, revealing bare land, surrounded by some residential areas, very close to the airport, six or seven kilometers.
The land is close to the sea on one side, with a coastline of 1.3 kilometers, and the beach and sea water below are unpolluted, clear and turquoise, like a rare gem, but the difference between the beach and the land is 30 meters, and if you want to go down to enjoy the private beach, you must build a staircase on the cliff.
After turning around, An Feng asked Joanna beside him: "How do you feel, the location is okay, right?" ”
Joanna nodded: "It's a great place to be, Santa Barbara has always been a livable city, quiet and peaceful, and able to have a private beach." ”
An Feng smiled: "Do you mean you like it?" ”
Joanna nodded, "Very good." ”
According to a friend, the local government intends to open a tender next spring, and the estimated auction price is between 35 million and 40 million. That's right, tens of millions of levels, just a flat wasteland. Because Santa Barbara is one of the top 10 ideal places to live in the United States, a typical wealthy city, with an average local house price of one million dollars, most of the residents are rich stars who come to enjoy vacation and freedom.
Other places talk about rich areas, but here we talk about rich cities, just from the literal understanding, you know that St. Baba is indeed a paradise for the rich. The abandoned park is in a nice location, peaceful, fresh air, and a great place to enjoy the sea breeze in your free time...... An Feng decided to take it. (To be continued......)
