Chapter Twenty-Six: New Family Members

In this year, Dell was not yet born, Google was not yet in the shadow, and now the largest computer company is Compaq, which will be in power until 1998, and then acquired by Hewlett-Packard...... Then buy some Hewlett-Packard stock.

This year, Blizzard Entertainment has been established for one year, and the RPG game project has not been launched for a long time, and the RPG games released soon will usher in a sharp rise in stocks...... Then let's get some stock of the company.

Microsoft is a must, a company that has been around for almost 20 years, and the opportunity to grow rapidly is approaching......

In the blink of an eye, most of the banknotes in Dr. Zhou's hand were exchanged for a pile of securities, and only about 100,000 yuan was left for temporary maneuvering. And An Feng told the former: These stocks are suitable for long-term holding, and they can naturally increase in value if they are left there. Dr. Chow didn't have much energy to focus on making money in the future, and he was very satisfied with this treatment.

After returning from the bank, Dr. Zhou was happily sitting in his apartment, imagining how to celebrate, when he heard the doorbell ringing, and at first he didn't pay attention to it, but when he opened his eyes, he suddenly found that the lawyer he had hired, Steven, appeared in front of him strangely.

"The house I bought, have the formalities been completed?" Dr. Zhou stood up in surprise and blurted out.

Steven smiled apologetically and replied, "Sir, your house purchase procedures are going through the normal process, maybe it will be done in a few days, and you know, we just finished a big vacation, and everything has just started." Of course, I can help you urge. ”

After speaking, Steven pointed at An Feng and took the initiative to speak: "The person I am looking for today is Mr. An, may I ask, can I talk to him privately?" ”

An Feng's guardianship will take effect when he arrives at his host family, and there is no guardianship law in China. Therefore, An Feng happened to be a guardianship blank during this time, although the nominal doctor last week was barely counted as a "guardian", but because he did not sign the relevant legal documents, he could only be counted as a "guardian".

The chaperone is only to accompany and accompany, and does not bear relevant legal obligations, so Steven's inquiry just now is just a courtesy, not an obligation that must be fulfilled...... Of course, this caregiver can also sign relevant legal documents, as long as he asks An Feng's mother for an endorsement certificate afterwards, it will be in line with the legal procedures.

Dr. Zhou has just arrived and is not legally conscious. He didn't know what Steven's inquiry meant, so he easily moved out of the way. Steven held down the briefcase, his eyes waited aggressively, An Feng put his hands on the table and was silent, Dr. Zhou coughed lightly when he saw this scene, and said, "I'll go out first, Fengfeng, what's the matter, call the mobile phone to find me." ”

On this day, Argyle went to the boxing gym as a sparring partner as usual, so as soon as Dr. Zhou left, only An Feng and the lawyer were left in the house.

Steven coughed lightly and took out a few documents: "You can sign these documents, but we still need an adult to 'endorse' - can Mr. Zhou just now 'endorse'?" ”

"Of course you can", this is a foundation agreement, An Feng uses his own money to set up an education fund, this education fund will be used to cover An Feng's tuition, as well as Argyle's special education - in a sense, Argyle is a mentally handicapped child, but this child also has the ability to take care of himself, so the symptoms appear mild.

It was on this ground that Steven took over Argyle's custody, and the Leeds "School of Special Education" would then be responsible for treating and correcting Argyle until he reached adulthood. An Feng's "foundation" is equivalent to charity because it undertakes Argyle's upbringing, and as a result, the foundation is granted tax exemption and permission to invest in value-added independently......

"So much money ......", Steven didn't expect An Feng to put out a million pounds to invest in the fund at once, he was slightly shocked: "So much money, just lying on the account, what a pity." Can you authorize me to make certain investments? For example, stock investment, treasury bond investment? ”

"Not for the time being", An Feng refused without hesitation: "I don't know how much money I need to spend on my summer vacation, and I reserve the right to mobilize this money at any time." As for investment, let's discuss it after this summer. ”

If An Feng authorizes Steven to invest, Steven will receive three salaries at once: one is the salary of An Feng's perennial legal counsel, one is the salary of the foundation's perennial legal counsel, and the last is the salary of the foundation's investors.

The first two salaries have an industry standard of just a few hundred pounds per month, while the last salary is ...... There is no upper limit.

An Feng's refusal made Steven feel a little regretful, but he had gained a lot from An Feng, he didn't dare to offend this "big customer", so he quickly changed his smile and said earnestly: "As you wish." Your will is my commandment...... However, I have to say that 1,140,000 pounds is used to deal with abnormal events, and this kind of abnormal event of price is also ......"

"One million and thirteen thousand", An Feng corrected: "I want to take 10,000 pounds with me to my host family in Leeds, and I might as well save the rest." ”

"Maybe you can exchange it for Treasury bonds", Steven made a final effort: "Treasury bonds are low-yielding, but they can be liquidated at any time, and large transactions can even be paid directly with Treasury bonds......"

It seems that Steven is bent on becoming a foundation investment manager. An Feng pondered for a moment: the money laundering industry has not received attention in recent years, perhaps......

"Okay, 800,000 to buy treasury bonds, and the rest of the money as a maneuver", An Feng compromised.

It is said that the rapid growth of world-renowned companies such as Apple and Google is due to the fact that they spend 70% of their profits on employee compensation and rewarding their innovation. After employees share the dividends of development, they burst out with great creativity...... In this way, if you want your partners to have a sense of belonging and cohesion to the team, you must learn to let others share the development dividends.

Dr. Chow was one of them, Steven ......, and now another accomplice on the team.

After that, Dr. Zhou, who shared the development dividend, did not ask anything, and endorsed all the legal documents one by one according to Steven's request. This large pile of documents was signed, and An Feng completely gained economic freedom. When Steven got up to take his leave, he reported by the way: "Argyle's admission has been completed, sir, would you like to go with him, or ......?"

"Let him go first," An Feng replied. Although Dr. Zhou next to him didn't know what An Feng was doing, he immediately picked up the missing and explained: "We will leave in three days, An Feng's boarding mother will go to meet him, I estimate that once he arrives in Leeds City, I am afraid he will not have his own time." ”

Steven stood there thinking for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "My friend has a villa in Leeds, I have rented it, and I think you need a private place to put your personal belongings...... Of course, I was in violation of guardianship. ”

"Where is the key", An Feng asked calmly: "Of course, you don't know anything." ”

"I'm sure I don't know anything," Steven bowed and left. Dr. Zhou was puzzled: "This person is ......, what is this person doing without a beginning or an end to say this?" ”

An Feng smiled and quickly explained: "As a lawyer, we can't get the key directly from him, which makes him break the law." Still, I'm guessing he's going to 'forget' the key somewhere......"

An Feng walked to the foyer, walked to the place where Steven deliberately stayed for a moment, picked up a bunch of keys casually, and said, "Like here!" ”

Doctor Zhou smiled, he shook his head, and said wisely, "This key is for you, you can keep it." I went to Leeds to have a place to stay. ”

After the New Year, Dr. Zhou helped contact An Feng's boarding mother and boarding father to inform them of An Feng's arrival. When the boarding mother and the boarding father heard the news, they immediately couldn't sit still, and three days later, it happened to be the weekend, and they decided to use the weekend to take An Feng home, and this weekend happened to be the last day of the New Year's holiday, but at this time, the students still had a week off - according to the plan, An Feng was supposed to arrive a week before the start of school.

Three days passed in a flash, and during these three days, An Feng and Dr. Zhou were preparing to leave. Argyle was sent away by Steven in advance, Huang Yaqing said that he would stay in London for a few days, and sublet out Dr. Zhou's house through Lan Yu's introduction, An Feng's luggage had been packed, and on this last day, Dr. Zhou's house purchase procedures were finally completed, and he needed to go to the law firm to sign a lot of documents...... Therefore, Dr. Zhou is no longer able to walk with An Feng.

As a result, a breakup is inevitable.

Homestays are for the whole family. It started to snow again this weekend, and in the midst of the snowflakes, the host family drove into the city of London in a two-row dual-purpose vehicle. Before Dr. Zhou went to the law firm, he hurriedly met with his boarding father, Bartlet, but because of the urgency of the law firm, Dr. Zhou was relieved to leave after introducing An Feng. And An Feng had already packed his luggage and stood in front of the luggage pile with a well-behaved expression. The boarding father rushed over and hugged An Feng with a bear hug......

When this strong emotion passed, Bartlet introduced the family to An Feng one by one: the blonde girl who was holding her mother's hand and blinking at An Feng next to her was the baby of this family. "Kane (meaning 'sharp', 'blade'), this is your sister Scarlett, you will go to school with her in the future, I hope you can love each other like a family."

Bartlet pointed to her host mother, "This is your mother, Vera. In the coming year, we will live together as a family, and I hope you will treat us as your family...... Oh, you've got a lot of luggage. ”

An Feng pretending to be well-behaved is very deceptive, which is why Dr. Zhou is relieved to leave. At this moment, An Feng flashed his big eyes, smiled, and answered Butlet's father's question very politely: "Butlet's father, these are my clothes. ”

Then An Feng greeted his host mother obediently and quietly, and smoothly turned the topic to Scarlett next to him: "Scarlett, this name is very charming, I have read the book "Gone with the Wind", I like Scarlett played by Vivien Leigh, my name is Kane Ann, I hope you can like my brother." ”

Scarlett, like her mother, is a girl with blond hair, pale green eyes, and a cheerful smile. Hearing An Feng praise her name, she grinned, circled around An Feng and said, "Brother Kane, I like your compliments. What else would you do but compliment people? ”

Judging from the short contact, this is a beautiful girl who likes to show off, likes to perform, and likes to take herself as the central character, full of expressiveness, only seven years old, she already has a bit of charm. When he spoke, his eyebrows fluttered, his face was flying, and he was as dazzling as a light bulb.

An Feng kept a smile steadily, with a big brother-like steadiness: "Sister Scarlett, I will have a lot, but they are all boys' games, do you want to hear it?" ”

"Say it," Scarlett clapped happily with her hands.

Bartlet's father saw that the opening was good, and without saying a word, he went over to carry An Feng's luggage, and greeted: "Get in the car and get in the car, we have a long way to go, Kane, Scarlett, you have a lot of time to communicate." ”

This is a silver double-row pick-up truck, which is slightly different from the domestic small double-row car in that its rear compartment is fully enclosed. The brand of the car is "Geo", which An Feng has never seen...... Since An Feng doesn't remember this model, this model must be very niche, and it will go out of business soon, or is going out of business.

However, the car drove very steadily, and kept driving at a constant speed in the ice and snow, without any bumps.

According to local law, two small children must sit in the back seat. Vera's mother sat in the front row with her father, and there were no adults in the back seat to interfere with her, but the two children chatted happily, attracting the parents in the front seat to exchange knowing glances from time to time.

"What do you write?" Scarlett sat down in her seat and began to ask.

"I can ski and skate", An Feng looked up at the ice and snow outside, and counted them one by one with his fingers: "I can play baseball, badminton, and I can also raise flowers and grass...... Forget it, you ask me nothing, right? ”

An Feng's tone was very loud, Scarlett, who had been the center of everyone's vision since she was a child, had to find an An Feng, she thought for a long time and asked, "Do you know English?" ”

An Feng smiled: "What language are we speaking now?" ”

Scarlett's eyes rolled: "Then do you know French?" ”

"This ...... I really can't", An Feng honestly admitted: "You can teach me, okay?" ”

Scarlett pursed her lips and was embarrassed to admit, "This, I won't either." ”

After a pause, Scarlett asked again, "So, will you coax the doll?" ”

An Feng looked disapproving: "Boys don't coax dolls." ”

Scarlett immediately shifted her position: "Then you will ...... Painting? Dance? …… Sewing clothes!? ”

An Feng nodded calmly: "This is nothing, I will repair the sewing machine, our sewing machine is broken, I have always repaired it." ”

"What would you ......" Scarlett could barely think of anything to embarrass An Feng, she frowned and tried hard......
