Chapter 074: A Guest at the Manor
An Feng called John and his lawyer in California and asked them to come. People can be lazy, but they can't be hasty when signing a contract. In addition, he also contacted Song Wenrui in California, and the name of the company has been chosen, called "GP", which is the abbreviation of graphene, which is simple and clear.
The next step was to wait for the lawyer, but before that, Anfeng was invited by Mrs. Sinclair to visit her farm in Medina County.
They set off on a private business jet, needless to say, luxurious and comfortable, but unfortunately the flight time was too short, and An Feng didn't have a good experience and began to land. Austin is less than 200 kilometers away from Medina County, which is closer to San Antonio and is a wealthy place.
After the plane landed smoothly, the cabin door opened, and after getting off the plane, I saw three Land Rover SUVs parked on the side, and the men in black were waiting for the arrival of the guests. Without even leaving the airport, Mrs. Sinclair and her assistant got into the front car, Anfeng and Katilina got in the back Range Rover, and the convoy drove to the farm.
As soon as you leave the city, the surrounding area immediately becomes a large countryside, buildings and pedestrians all disappear, except for the straight road, on both sides are lush fields, there is not a single house in sight, and occasionally a few bold wild deer cross the road, not caring about the passing traffic.
An Feng has become accustomed to the bold wildlife of the United States, to be honest, it is not bad here, the green mountains and rivers are green, the transportation is also developed, and it is close to the big cities. Former U.S. President George W. Bush is also from Texas, and he lives on a very ordinary farm in the middle, surrounded by a desolate town.
So these farms may look ordinary, but the owners don't necessarily have a lot of backgrounds. Of course, Mrs. Sinclair's farm is less desolate than the former president, with fresh air, vast fields, and rows of trees around the river, creating a beautiful idyllic scene.
The car drove into the concrete road laid by the farm, and after driving for five minutes to see the house, An Feng looked out the window, and he was sure that Mrs. Sinclair was humbling to call it a farm...... After passing through dense woods and stone bridges, you will suddenly see a flat open green area, a large artificially dug lake, and a few swans wandering leisurely on the calm lake, leading to a magnificent baroque building.
Look at this view, it is more appropriate to call the manor, people sell the farm just for fun, and billionaires can use the land?
The two cars bypassed the fountain and stopped in front of the door, and the uniformly dressed servants stood in a line, one of them, a housekeeper in his sixties and a decent tuxedo stood facing the door, and when the car stopped, he stepped forward and pulled the car door and asked Mrs. Sinclair to get out of the car, and An Feng was treated the same way.
The butler in the tuxedo has an expressionless face, standard and elegant movements, and a skillful and methodical command with an authentic Oxford accent, not to mention the aristocratic background of Mrs. Sinclair, even if it is an ordinary rich man, he will be cultivated into a kind of "three generations of nobles".
An Feng got out of the car, walked into the house, and after praising her farm, she was taken back to the guest room by the maid, and it seemed that a man and a woman had to help them change their clothes.
An Feng refused: "Xie Luxie, but you better go outside and wait." ”
The two servants withdrew, and Katilina asked with a smile, "Mr. An, don't you enjoy the treatment of a noble lord?" ”
"It always feels weird to have a guy touch me." An Feng said.
"What about me?" Katilina pounced.
"Hahaha, don't mess around, the old lady is still waiting for us!" An Feng hugged her a few times, and of course kissed and touched her a few times.
After combing, they went downstairs, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and Mrs. Sinclair invited them to the backyard for afternoon tea. An Feng is very adaptable to this habit, after all, the lifestyle of the old aristocrat has many similarities with Joanna, including some old-fashioned attitudes towards life.
Drinking tea and eating biscuits with Mrs. Sinclair, Katilina originally thought it was fun, but after sitting for half an hour, she just listened to An Feng and the old lady talking about some inconsequential things there with a smile, what kind of dogs, horses, etc., and they frequently fought.
Mrs. Sinclair, however, was very understanding, and said kindly to Catilina, "Miss Gomez, are you tired?" Would you like to take a break? ”
When the housekeeper heard this, his eyes were fixed on her, ready to help.
Katilina smiled shyly, and said, "One thing, I think I should be more energetic when I walk." ”
Mrs. Sinclair smiled, "Feel free to make this your home." ”
Butler: "Miss Gomez, do you need a maid to accompany you?" ”
"Thank you, I'm used to being alone." Katilina politely said goodbye, and after a while, she found herself driving a lawn mower in the distance, running around energetically.
An Feng shook his head and smiled.
A kind smile appeared on Mrs. Sinclair's face: "Miss Gomez is lively and straightforward, and like my little granddaughter, she can sit with me for half an hour at most. ”
An Feng asked, "How old is your granddaughter?" ”
She said: "She's seventeen years old, I haven't seen her for a long time, I live in New York with my parents, her personality is not as stable as yours, and she doesn't bother to talk to me for so long." ”
An Feng said with a smile: "Actually, I'm usually quite impatient, but I like this style, drinking tea in a daze, and not thinking about anything." ”
Mrs. Sinclair agreed: "It's a good life. ”
It was actually quite boring to talk to the old lady, but perhaps it was a long time since she had found someone to listen to and share common interests, she was very talkative, and from her mouth I heard that she lived alone in this farm estate, and that her children would occasionally come over, but soon they would leave in a hurry, and the days were mostly peaceful and monotonous.
Compared with his own motherland, An Feng still has a happy life for the old men and old ladies there, and it is much more fun to form a team to twist Yangge, dance evil square dances and the like, than Mrs. Sinclair living alone in such a big empty house. It seems that money does not necessarily buy joy, nor can it dispel loneliness.
But you can't buy anything without money, An Feng is sure. The lawyer had already arrived the next day, and all that was needed was a signature procedure, so he stayed at the manor for two more days. Mrs. Sinclair did not ride horses, but she had several good horses, one of which was once a champion, an English purebred, tall and mighty.
An Feng rode with an itchy hand. The hot-blooded horse was grumpy and resistant to strangers, but his riding skills worked, and he took a moment to tame this temperamental thoroughbred, wearing a full set of English equestrian equipment, and riding it heroically on the horse field, which received a lot of praise.
Later, it was learned that this thoroughbred horse was raised by her husband during his lifetime, and it was worth millions, and the hot-blooded horse was short-tempered, and there were very few people who could tame it, and it was usually her child who rode it around a few times. Afterwards, An Feng felt quite presumptuous, such an important horse casually stepped up, but she didn't mind.
I don't know if other guests can adapt to this kind of rural and idyllic life, An Feng feels that he is still very comfortable, in addition to those complicated etiquette, maybe Joanna can cope with the scene better. However, the housekeeper was thoughtful and helped the guests to improve these deficiencies.
An Feng's feeling is that this old butler can almost take care of your thoughts, so that the host and guests can just enjoy it, and there are no worries at all.
In addition, after a few days of getting along, An Feng felt that Mrs. Sinclair was very cheerful and optimistic about life, because An Feng found that she was taking anti-cancer drugs.
What exactly is related to privacy, An Feng didn't ask.
An Feng silently blessed the old lady who was very close to him, cancer...... Let's hope she makes it to the day when the research center produces results. An Feng glanced at her old face, there must be exhaustion and pain behind it...... He shook hands with her: "Thank you for taking care of me these days, I feel very comfortable!" ”
Mrs. Sinclair said: "I would welcome to continue to be a guest when I have time. ”
An Feng said: "The next time you have the opportunity, bring my friend Joanna over, she will definitely fall in love with you." ”
"I'm very welcoming to her." Mrs. Sinclair smiled.
Joanna mentioned it by chance the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect Mrs. Sinclair to be very familiar with the surname "Stanville", and then I asked carefully, maybe Joanna and her are distant relatives! The old lady has been in the United States for decades, and she often goes back when she is young, and she can't travel long distances when she is old, but she is especially nostalgic.
An Feng and Katilina said goodbye and flew to Austin on a special plane. After getting off the plane, I met with my assistant and lawyer, and then we signed a contract with the new company. Mrs. Sinclair did not arrive, but she sent a representative. Once the contract is signed, all that remains is to wait for the registration of the GP company and its next operations.
However, it has little to do with An Feng, the only thing he needs to do now is to prepare for technology and recruit talents, and the goal is to strive for results next year and mass production within three years. This is about 100 billion market share, or just microcomputer chips. An even bigger cake awaits.
