An Feng stayed in the hunting ground for seven days, and he didn't arrange much of his activities, more of the time was dominated by Xiaobai, in Joanna's words, these days were its holidays. Xiaobai is full of curiosity about the world, so they take it around for adventures and life experience.

What stands out most this time is not the expected physique, but the ability to learn. It is very intelligent, and although it has not developed to the point where it can understand human speech, it can be taught a few times with simple instructions, and it can draw inferences from the skills it uses in hunting. It goes out hunting with An Feng and his friends, and completely becomes the protagonist, and instead of taking a gun to find prey, everyone picks up a telescope to see how the tiger hunts.

It's so powerful that even the circus can't train a tiger like that. When getting along with people, it is a smart and docile big cat, and in the wild, it transforms into an indifferent, manic tiger, and the two sides of the body are completely different, which sounds incredible, but after feeling it, it can't be opposed.

As they were about to leave the hunting ground, everyone was taking pictures with the magical tiger, which was very star-like posing in front of the camera. There is also a naughty look with the front paws on the shoulders of the person and the mouth wide open for the brain, which looks terrifying, and the group photo is also very nervous, but fortunately, Xiaobai has already eaten.

An Feng went to talk to Mike about something before leaving.

During the days of his vacation, he and the governor's secretary and the governor were on the phone, and there was no problem in applying for small-caliber shells, but the organizers needed to give a plan listing the benefits, such as the promotion of the local economy and the military education of the whole people...... Anyway, the official needs a face project.

Mike also said about the revenue: "Based on the current financial statistics, we lost $300,000 at the shooting show. This is much less than the $700,000 last time, and the business of the two gun stores has increased significantly in terms of customer traffic and sales. ”

"Well done! Follow this trend. Next time we should be hiramoto! "An Feng's goal is very simple - to be self-financed.

Mike nodded: "With moderate publicity and government support, we will make this event bigger." ”

"Congratulations!" An Feng said.

After the arrangement was made, everyone left by car. Houston also had a flight back to China, and friends from China did not go back to California with them, and Wang Le had to go to New York for Christmas, so they said goodbye to each other in Austin. An Feng made a special trip to the GP headquarters.

GP's growth continues to be a miracle, with two of its subsidiaries growing significantly in four quarters. It's easy to live without an opponent, and if it goes well, GP Energy will go public next year. At present, the headquarters has increased its holdings by 60% of the shares, and there is a lot of blood, and whether it can return to its original depends on the listing results.

GP Electronics' ambitions are also revealed, in addition to gearing up for corporate computers. It has extended its claws into the field of microcomputers. Home PC processors have long been released, and there are rumors of imminent invasion of mobile phones and other mobile devices – the rumored Nokia is an example.

He listened to the reports of some assistants, the consortium has run the enterprise very well, although there are competitors, the business struggle has not stopped, so far they have caught three spies, but at present they have the advantage, and the leak has never happened.

"How?" An Feng was more curious about the results. The tree is a big move. It's normal to have commercial spies, but maybe there are government agents.

"The evidence that is going to be collected is going to be used to prosecute them in court," Eve said. There is no conclusive evidence. Mr. Hawley said someone else would take charge. ”

"Aegis security is doing a good job." An Feng said.

Eve nodded: "They are indeed very professional, but they are a bit too rigorous, and some departments want to complain that they are hindering the normal operation of the company." ”

An Feng said: "Don't pay attention to these people, it's better to restrain yourself if you have leisure, if the security work is not in place, the loss of secrets is a disaster." ”

Eve laughed and said, "Mr. Hawley thinks so too, and the disciplinary department dismissed the complaint on the grounds that they are not part of the company's department. ”

"This guy is smart." An Feng nodded, "By the way, what's going on with the new computer department, why was it empty when I came?" ”

Eve said: "According to Team Leader Song, they don't need the research room for the time being, and they have to change floors to study again. I've overheard it a few times, it seems that they are studying quantum physics, and in addition to the company employees, they hire some part-time university professors, doctoral supervisors, etc. ”

An Feng remembered that he asked for it, but he didn't expect it to be so fierce, and the professors called him, and it seemed that he could say hello to Holly and relax their project funds. In fact, it is already very relaxed, as a core R&D department, basically less than one million funds, write an application must be approved.

An Feng went to see the experts' "class", he was very low-key, did not disturb others, and listened to it for about ten minutes, at present, quantum theory has come to a deep level, but whether it is quantum communication or quantum computer, the emphasis is on technology rather than deep theory.

Knowing that the situation was good, An Feng also completed his duty of coming at least three times a year.

……

Back in warm California, Christmas is just around the corner.

Just when An Feng was preparing to spend Christmas with Joanna's family this year, news came from the United Kingdom, an important email sent by Simmonds, which was the New Year's medal list announced by the Queen of England, which was a little less than in previous years, and there were hundreds of outstanding people. But Joanna is on the list.

This speed was unexpected, and An Feng thought it would be the second half of the year...... He carefully read the contents, the list was a draft, not yet published, and all of them were recipients of the Order of the British Empire, and in the current environment, only this type of medal of honor was issued most frequently.

Joanna's name is easy to find because she is at the front.

There is also a reason why she is at the top, because of the high rank she was awarded, the Order of the British Empire is divided into five ranks, namely: Grand Cross of the Order of the Order of the British Empire (GBE); The Order of the Commander of the Order of the Knighthood (Male KBE/Female DBE), the focus is on these two, of course, there are three levels of CBE, OBE, and MBE.

Of the five tiers of the Medal, only the first two ranks are considered knighthoods, and the title of "Sir/Dame" can be added before their English name. Naturally, the number it can be granted is very small. In the case of the highest GBE, there are about two or three per year.

The people who were awarded the GBE were very important people, or simply members of the royal family. Joanna has obtained a second-level DBE, which is not as small as the GBE, but it is also extremely rare. According to rumors, it is much less difficult for women to receive the Order of the Order of Knighthood than for men.

Except for the winners of these two ranks, who can be called "Jazz/Dames", the others are only honors, and it happens that the latter three levels are the most numerous, and it is said that there is no limit to the number of MBEs. But more than a thousand more per year at most. It can be seen that it has a wide range of coverage.

An Feng didn't know much at first, he thought that the one who was awarded the medal was considered a knight, but after Joanna found out. Those who are awarded medals every year include artists, singers, actors, etc. All of them are in the back three levels. There will be no intersection with the first two levels.

When Joanna and the Sasson family returned in the afternoon, he informed them of the good news.

"Honey, it looks like we're going to have to spend our New Year in England."

"Why?" Joanna was puzzled.

An Feng said with a smile: "According to my latest news, you have been awarded the medal and have to go to the United Kingdom to participate in the award ceremony before the New Year." ”

"Is this true?" Joanna was surprised, because there was no news for a long time, and they all thought that it was scheduled for next year.

An Feng nodded: "The news that Simmonds gave me is indeed like this. ”

"What level?" Joanna asked.

An Feng said: "Of course, you can add a title to your name. ”

“DBE？” Joanna guessed, but was sure in her heart. Because there's only GBE left besides it, but this one is almost unthinkable.

"That's right!"

"Great!" She happily came over and hugged him. "This news came so suddenly!"

"But a complete surprise, isn't it?" An Feng smiled and let go of her.

Kelly was also pleasantly surprised: "Congratulations, Joanna! I didn't expect you to receive such a high honor, we will all be proud of you! ”

Frank said, "Our family will always have your back!" ”

Only Andy was puzzled: "What is this?" ”

Frank bowed his head and said to him, "We won't be here this Christmas, how about going to Europe?" ”

"Yay!" Andy jumped three feet high, "I love vacations!" My deluxe sea view room, basking in the sun and drinking coconut water! ”

Joanna said, "Maybe we're going skiing this year?" ”

Andy also nodded: "Barely able to think about it...... It must be wonderful to be able to breathe the air outside! Joanna I love you! ”

"Me too! Bub! Joanna pinched his chubby face.

The award will be awarded after the New Year, but the time has not yet been determined, it may be in January and February, considering that the DBE is more important, it should be in front, I'm afraid it's January. Referring to the last time Bazel was awarded the title of baron, he was alone and at the top.

There will be a notice in a few days, and now they need to think about the holiday schedule.

Of course, the plan to spend Christmas in the United States had to be canceled, and according to the democratic vote, all five agreed that Christmas should be simple and that going to play was the most important thing...... A family that loves travel can't afford to hurt. An Feng said that he could go anywhere, and this time he was responsible for the whole cost.

After some discussion, there is no need to go to the UK so early and wait, you can go to some other places to play first, Andy recommends those with sunny beaches, Kelly hopes to be quiet, and Frank recommends being able to ski, Anfeng likes to have many VIP services, Joanna only asks to be on time.

An Feng's gaze swept over everyone's faces: "It seems that we have a big difference. ”

Frank said, "Take a compromise and take care of the most." ”

In the end, everyone thought about it and decided to go to Switzerland!

First of all, Switzerland must be very quiet, with blue sky and white clouds and a quiet world, An Feng has long wanted to go to the land favored by God to live for a few days, which is also in line with Kelly's idea; Secondly, Switzerland can definitely ski, and it will be even more lively when Christmas is approaching; Finally, the VIP service that Anfeng hopes for is naturally available in developed countries.

Joanna's punctuality was not considered at all - because it was inevitable.

Choosing Switzerland is in the interests of most people - except for the bear child. After An Feng agreed to take him to a private island to swim in the sea breeze, he raised his hands to agree with the idea, and said that he actually liked quiet, skiing and punctuality the most...... Look at this fickle little traitor! (To be continued......)
