Chapter 262: The Journey of Adulthood and People

What else?

Pity...... There's no time.

An Feng put a pistol into the pouch under his armpit, he walked to the kitchen opposite the bathroom, took out the travel backpack from the kitchen cupboard, threw the old clothes he changed into the backpack, he looked at his watch and replied: "There are forty minutes left, there will be a time window in the corridor outside, at that time, the monitoring probe in the passage will be switched for forty-five seconds, and we can leave during this time window." ”

The baroness giggled, rolled her eyes, and said, "Well, we still have time...... Would you like to accompany me to the Kimberley Society? I'm coming to South Africa this time to take home a batch of diamonds, and it just so happens that I don't have bodyguards with me, and you're very skilled. ”

An Feng stopped cleaning up and looked at Baroness Clinton curiously and curiously: "Do you always trust strangers like this?" Before today, we didn't know each other. ”

The baroness stood up with a smile, and as she walked, the inside of her dress was beautiful, she pointed to the killer ring that An Feng had dropped on the table, and explained with a smile: "Only twelve of this kind of rings have been made. ”

Well, An Feng has long understood that there is something wrong with the pattern of this ring. From the baronesse's words, it seems that this ring corresponds to the Twelve Star Palace, and the ring obtained by An Feng corresponds to the Capricorn Star Palace. On Table Mountain, Baroness Clinton recognized the ring, so when she fled in all directions, she caught up with An Feng and insisted on walking with An Feng

An Feng walked back to the living room, silently opened the emergency shelter box, grabbed the killer ring from the table and threw it into the box, he closed the lid again, carefully packed up his old things, including the clothes he was wearing, including the hair he had just cut, and then ...... Sent to the incinerator in the kitchen.

After doing all this work, the baroness has been following the beautiful scenery step by step, without regard for her own ...... Open your chest. She bit her lower lip, and somehow, An Feng always felt that the other party's gaze at him tasted a little drooling. When the baroness finally found an opportunity to interject, she asked tightly: "Hey, Capricorn Palace, what should I call you, you haven't informed me of your name yet." ”

"Fayyad, you can call me Fayyad, from now on, I will be your Egyptian bodyguard."

The baroness nodded emphatically, her eyes rolled, and she suddenly turned around, pointed to the six monitoring squares on the computer screen and asked, "Can I see that?" ”

In this secret room, watching TV is far less fun than watching a surveillance screen. Keep an eye out for the various people in the hallway, you can see them and they have no idea that they are being watched, and the pleasure of peeping into someone's privacy makes the baroness itch...... After An Feng nodded, she sat down at her desk and began to use the mouse to constantly adjust the scanning direction of the lens, full of interest, interest, and joy.

After a while, An Feng had already packed his luggage. Before leaving, he felt that he needed to inquire about the Kimberley Association. I heard that the Kimberley Society is a mysterious organization like Freemasonry, and the building is heavily guarded, and the employees who work in it are usually mysterious in their lives, generally do not socialize with neighbors, do not participate in community activities, and behave as mysteriously as secret agents.

The only difference between these people and agents is that agents play with guns, and they play with diamonds worth tens of millions.

"I heard that the Kimberley Association's annual diamond quota for each country is fixed?" An Feng asked casually in a leisurely tone.

The baroness nodded, stared at the screen and replied casually: "That's right, the Kimberley Association decides the number of diamonds to sell on the market each year, and how many diamond quotas each country can get this year, and the senior management of the association decided in advance the year before." ”

Speaking of this, the baroness giggled, her eyes were fixed on the screen, her hand was still fiddling with the mouse to adjust the direction of the camera, and her mouth continued: "You must have heard some mysterious rumors, such as the member who goes in can only be received by a receptionist, the receptionist hands out a bag of diamonds, the diamonds are in a black velvet bag, and then the receptionist says the offer, the member hands over the check and turns away, during which he is not allowed to open the bag to inspect the diamonds inside...... Giggles, that's fiction.

In fact, members who have been members for less than 20 years enjoy really poor treatment, and there is no way, because they have not yet gained the trust of the association, and in the association's treasury, each bag of diamonds is worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and these untrusted members certainly do not have the opportunity to touch the real diamonds in person.

They can only choose their goods through pictures, or other people's descriptions, or from a distance, more than ten years ago, the diamonds allocated to these new members are indeed selected by the association in advance, and the members have no choice, they can only hand over the check and take their own goods...... But now it's the twenty-first century. ”

An Feng understood what the other party was saying, in the 21st century, it was completely possible to observe his goods through video, and then guide the receptionist to choose, of course, those customers who were not trusted still could not approach the pile of diamonds, or even enter the underground vault where the diamonds were stored...... Wait, what's wrong with the baronesse's tone?

An Feng suddenly remembered, who did Kimberley originally belong to? Who were the first privileged people to develop the diamond industry? Who are the shareholders of the Kimberley Company - nothing more than the aristocracy of the past, and the powerful

Thinking of this, An Feng also remembered that Kimberlite has purchased and stored 90% of the world's diamonds, and they release some diamonds to the market in limited quantities every year, so as to keep the price of diamonds rising continuously for a hundred years, how much is the value of 90% of the world's diamonds? No one can tell.

It seems that there is such a group of people in the world who never participate in the ranking of the rich list, but each of them can be ashamed ⊥of the people on the rich list by taking out the net worth of each of them.

Carrying the emergency escape box, An Feng now has nothing to do except for the things in the emergency escape box, the wallet he brought into South Africa, as well as the credit cards, etc., have been destroyed, and now the documents and credit cards on his body are all things prepared for him in the safe house, except for what he wears and what is contained in the box, he is almost empty-handed.

The baroness sneakily followed An Feng to the ground, and she felt ...... It's exciting. As soon as the two walked out of the supermarket building, in the parking lot in front of the supermarket, a few heads poked out of a Maserati car, and waved at the baroness who was walking down the steps lightly, the baroness stopped on the steps, she thought for a few seconds, and turned around to greet An Feng: "You wait for me here for a while." ”

An Feng already understood why the other party could wait in the parking lot at this time-the baroness had a tracking chip installed on her. It is said that it is also a trend to install chips on people's bodies nowadays, and the bigwigs and wealthy people install tracking and positioning chips on their families and themselves to prevent being kidnapped. This chip is a radio frequency chip, which can feel the electromagnetic signal emitted by the wire when passing through the power supply, and quickly release the positioning signal to the surrounding receivers, so that the police can determine the exact location of these people at any time.

The baroness is on a family mission this time, she has to bring a batch of diamonds back when she goes back, before she contacts the Kimberley Association, it seems that the baron has no bodyguards around her, only her peers, this is to create a happy and free holiday atmosphere, but in fact, the security guards keep an eye on the baron's whereabouts at all times.

The baron's positioning signal paused for a moment in the supermarket parking lot, then entered the supermarket, and then entered the basement, and the baron's positioning signal disappeared due to the usual shielding radio signal function of the safe house, but the security guards still chased it to the supermarket parking lot in time......

At this time, the baroness walked up to the Maserati car, whispered something to the people in the car, and after a while, the people in the car opened the door and got out of the car with a dazed look, and a total of three people got out of the car with the driver, one woman and two men, both burly bodyguard-type talents.

After the three of them got out of the car, they argued with the baroness again, but they finally left the Maserati according to the baron's wishes, and the baroness stood in front of the car and beckoned An Feng to come over, and stretched out her index finger to point to the door of the back seat of the car - this baronesse, probably since she was born, had never opened the car door by herself, she asked An Feng to go over and open the door for herself.

An Feng kept the shopping bag, deliberately made a puppy posture with his tongue out, ran forward with his hands and feet, ran to the car to open the door for the baron, he patiently reached out on the roof of the car, and the baron naturally bowed into the car, waiting for An Feng to drive her away.

It is said that top sports cars such as Maserati and Lamborghini are the favorites of the rich in Arabia. This is the kind of luxury car that is most often seen on the streets of Dubai, but this kind of car An Feng is indeed the first time to come into contact with it. He didn't like Italian goods very much.

Sitting in front of the driver's seat and quickly glancing at the dashboard, An Feng glanced at the car's gear, then took a deep breath and started the car carefully...... Behind him, the baroness giggled and said, "Don't tell me you haven't driven such a car. ”

The baroness was familiar with the streets of Johannesburg, and she expertly guided An Feng through the streets, and the car eventually stopped in a family hotel.

The apartment building where the family hotel is located seems to be a small family-like hotel, or an apartment rented by a noble person, because the corridors are full of men and women dressed in high-end clothes and riding in luxury cars driven by professional drivers. The family hotel is hidden in such an ordinary house, often occupying four or five floors, but each floor is guaranteed to be detached.

A family hotel is slightly different from a large hotel in that each family hotel has its own butler who provides one-on-one service to customers. The housekeeper also manages one or two cleaners, a cook, a driver, and one or two bodyguards. Usually the housekeeper arranges a cleaner to clean the room, wash and iron the dirty clothes changed by the employer, help the employer arrange the menu, make travel plans according to the employer's itinerary, and act as a tour guide, buyer, middleman, etc.

Family hotels generally have four or five floors to reduce operating costs, as well as to strictly guard the door, in the family hotel on several floors, there are special security guards, responsible for preventing journalists or curious tourists from visiting, to ensure that employers have an absolutely quiet, undisturbed living environment. However, because such a family hotel is set up in an ordinary residential unit building, there are not many rooms on each floor, and there are at most four households on one floor, and the most common is two households on one floor.

Customers who choose to live in a four-family room on one staircase often do not have high requirements for a sense of security and like to live like a commoner, and they choose such a floor to give themselves a neighbor and add a little social activity, while customers who live on a two-family floor...... Ordinary people will never see them on TV, they are the group of "pale people" who live in seclusion and are not noticeable. The latter is an Italian slang term often used to refer to the aristocracy of European society.

Miss Clinton lived on a two-family floor, with her butler and cleaner living in the next room, and on this trip she brought a housekeeper of her own - or became a nanny, who also lived in the adjacent butler's room, but as a guest she had a separate room in the worker's room, rather than a makeshift resting house.

Because it was a guest brought back by Miss Baroness herself, An Feng was not subject to strict security checks, and the two walked into the living room one after another, at this time the nanny brought by Miss Barons rushed over when she heard the news, and she took the shopping bag in Miss Baron's hand while reporting to Miss Baroness the messages left by visitors during this time.

"Sir Agnelli the Younger has left a message saying that he may visit at any time at your convenience, and that you will be asked to inform him when it is convenient for you...... Mr. Van Anthony called to greet you, and ......"

The Italian nanny was a Catholic friar...... Well, most of the Italian aristocracy, and even most of the European aristocracy, the aristocratic schools they attended mainly taught religion, as well as tedious aristocratic etiquette and appreciation of works of art. And this Mama Jessica was trained by a special convent butler school to serve as a housekeeper for the big shots, and she is more professional than the housekeeper in the family hotel, and she is also proficient in etiquette and reception.

The names of the people that Mama Jessica had just mentioned were not imaginary, she wasn't saying this to show off, the man called Knight Agnelli, a real-life figure named Knight Agnelli, who had the titles of Knight Templar, Knight of the Papal States, Lord of Turin, and Baron Fiat on his head - yes, this man was the founder of Fiat Automobile Company and the president of the automobile company.

The latter, Van Anthony, is the owner of the oldest luxury yacht brand in Italy, Della Yachts...... Of course, both companies are family-owned, and Mama Jessica just said the honorific title of two visitors, who may be the president of Fiat...... nephews or grandchildren, or family members of the owner of Della Yachts.

Mama Jessica also talked about two Frenchmen...... One of the visitors was Abauar, Count of Cabana of the Cabaña family of the Western Valley family, who was one of the founders of Château Latour; Another visitor, known as Neil, bought Château Mouton, the second largest winery in the world, from Baron Bran Mouton, and Château Latour, the world's number one winery. Château Margaux, the world's third-largest winery, was founded by Baron Margaux and has passed through several twists and turns, and now falls into the hands of the Baron Agnelli family, the owners of the Italian Fiat Group.

As Mama Jessica narrates, she pronounces her names one after another, all of whom are the owners of famous luxury brands, who usually appear on TV, with an approachable appearance, and even deliberately blur their aristocratic backgrounds, and once they associate with people of the same kind, their pride that penetrates into their bones is revealed.

Miss Clinton is the same, just walked all the way, she is like a young girl who talks a lot, a little raps, a little lonely, and usually can't find someone to talk to, the topic of conversation is mainly dominated by her, so that An Feng's ears can't rest for a moment, but now, Miss Baroness stands there reservedly, calmly responding to Mama's requests one by one.

"Tell Agnelli that I don't need him anymore, that I've found a partner I like. For the rest of the journey, he can pick his favorite partner...... Tell Anthony that I've evaded the local police and made it home safely, so he doesn't have to worry.

As for Francis there, tell him that the person I needed had been found and that he understood. I don't want to be disturbed next......"

Mama Jessica bowed gracefully, and Miss Baroness turned to An Feng and asked with a smile, "What do you eat for dinner...... Aha, from now on, you can't call out, you can't contact anyone, you know?

An Feng vaguely guessed something, he shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Whatever, I'm not too picky about food." ”

Miss Baroness threw down her handbag, she lay down in the Windsor chair, crossed her legs, and said a long list of names to Mama... Well, people say that it takes three generations to cultivate a nobleman, one generation to talk about clothing, two generations to talk about food, and three generations to talk about art. Knowing how to dress, this is the second generation of you; Knowing how to choose food, this is the third generation of you, as for the second generation of red, they are exceptions, they don't like to smash and rob when they reach the third generation, and they begin to like Xiangche beauties to soak the second milk.

The long list of names that Clinton just said is all fine in the catering industry, for example, the beef she eats needs to be Indian Deyu beef, which is the second most expensive beef in the world except for Japanese Kobe beef, and the price of Kobe beef is purely fried by the Japanese.

The sea bream ordered by Miss Barons had to be caught on the southern shore of Cyprus, while the celery had to be from the Netherlands......

In short, this meal made An Feng listen in a daze, he didn't know that celery was actually divided into multiple varieties, he didn't know that there were more than 300 brands of Kobe beef, and there were seven famous ones, and the best was the "frost" beef cut from a certain part of Miyazaki beef......

It does seem that this common sense will take generations to study before it can be found in some obscure corner of the world to find the best grade among them...... Of course, what kind of diet is best, others do not have emotional knowledge, you must taste it in your mouth, let your taste buds adapt to its unique style for a long time, and then you can tell the mystery in one bite.

Finally, when Mama Jessica bowed down and retreated, and only An Feng was left in the room, Miss Baron took a deep breath, sat down next to An Feng with a smile, put her arm on An Feng's shoulder, exhaled like Lan to An Feng's ear, and murmured: "Now, there are only two of us left, do you know, my trip to South Africa is a 'journey to become a person,' a journey to become a person, do you know what it means?" ”
