Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant

  Chapter 139 Reception invitation

   Two days after returning to San Rafael, another news from John came.

  This time it's the robot company's problem.

John is very busy recently. An Feng is a typical hands-off shopkeeper. He only wants to move his mouth and never does it, so everything is on him. Fortunately, he has an assistant now, otherwise he would really go crazy.

The address is in the area south of the San Francisco Bay. It may not be clear, but it should be famous if it is replaced by "Silicon Valley". The area including South San Francisco and Santa Clara County can be called Silicon Valley. In fact, Silicon Valley Not a place name, just a description.

  The address chosen for Anfeng is located near San Jose, a factory close to the airport. The factory originally did some processing trade, but closed down due to poor management, leaving behind two empty warehouses and a two-story office building. Quiet and conveniently located, perfect for setting up a machine company.

   After viewing it, An Feng decided to rent it.

  10-year lease, need to pay 3.5 million US dollars, the land is not cheap. Take out another 20 million US dollars to register the company, 40% for yourself, and 60% for GP International. The first reason is low-key, and the second is that there is a lot of money in the offshore account. He invested nearly 80 million in Aegis Security, and he is now poor.

  The robot company will be a bottomless pit of money. It is not expected to generate any profit within five years, and even needs to invest a huge amount of money in technology research and development every year. An Feng had a rough plan in his mind, but even he thought the steps were complicated to implement.

  Let’s take a step at a time, he has a hunch that the robot company will change the world.

  …

  The days calmed down again.

  In addition to designing a blueprint for a machine exoskeleton, An Feng is doing something he loves with Joanna.

  Their life has always been fun, they are all people who are willing to try and learn, and their ideas are easy to influence each other. Joanna makes An Feng's behavior more in line with his status, and he is more inclined to the upper class. And An Feng let her integrate into life, showing the most charming side of his wife.

They cooperated with each other tacitly. An Feng thoughtfully drove her to and from school every day in a luxury car, allowing her to enjoy the attention of the crowd and the envy of women. If you don't kiss more than a dozen times a day, you may feel uncomfortable.

   A few days later, he received a call from Matthew.

   "Hey Bruce, how's life going?"

   "Very good, how about you?" An Feng was feeding Joanna ice cream with a spoon at this time. She leaned on his chest, enjoying his gentle service with small mouthfuls.

   "It's okay. But you should be the one with the most free time. Are you interested in attending a reception?"

  Joanna's head got under his chin, and she was tired of hugging her. An Feng hugged her and asked, "What's the nature? What about the time?"

"The arrangement is three days later, and the venue is a private gathering in a private house in Santa Barbara. I strongly recommend that you attend, because there are some party members present. We are in a group, and we want to get to know friends in the circle and improve Feelings, what do you think?"

  An Feng said: "Okay, I will attend on time."

   Putting down the phone, Joanna asked, "What invitation?"

  An Feng wiped her mouth for her: "At the official reception, Matthew also called some politicians, which should be very important, because he suggested that I should not be absent."

  Joanna said: "In the United States, it is inevitable for businessmen to deal with politicians. It is also helpful to support some politicians occasionally."

   "Of course, I think so too." An Feng nodded, "He didn't specify the party affiliation. I guess it should be the Republican Party. I need to do my homework."

An Feng checked some information on the Internet. Since the former governor was old and he was not re-elected this year, the position of governor of California was once again won by the Republican Party. Therefore, most of the current California government team is composed of Republican members, and their campaign power is huge. After a while, I also heard that he is very ambitious for next year's presidential election. Xiao Ohei has occupied the presidential seat for eight years, and the emperor takes turns, so it is time to give up.

   It seems that this reception can meet heroes from all walks of life.

  The special plane departs in three days.

  Although An Feng's private jet is not big, it is also equipped with two pilots and two full-time flight attendants for random service, and the treatment they get is very good. The four employees have to pay 400,000 annual salary a year, and they also have enough vacations. But for An Feng now, this amount of money is nothing at all.

  What kind of treatment do you enjoy at any salary level? The salary given by Anfeng is classified as high salary, so whether it is a flight attendant or a driver, the attitude is very respectful. Angela said that they were professionally trained. As the private customization of rich people, they get more money and learn more rules.

  Flying comfortably and landing at Santa Barbara Airport, two stewardesses stood by the open gangway with sweet smiles on their faces. An Feng lamented that life should be like this. In a happy mood, he pulled Joanna down the gangway, and there was a black Bentley sedan parked in front of him, with the driver waiting beside him.

Based on the principle of giving priority to women, An Feng let Joanna get into the car first. She was dressed in a mature and dignified way tonight, wearing a long black dress with a halter neck, complete with necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, and carrying a simple red handbag. Aristocratic lady fan. She came here to make An Feng look good.

For rich people to attend any formal occasion, it is necessary to have a good female companion. Joanna can handle this kind of occasion with ease. An Feng never worries about her own face. Celebrities with insufficient temperament are uncomfortable.

  The special car arrived at a private mansion built along the coast, quietly shuttled through the dense forest and tree shadows, passed the main entrance, and drove for another minute before arriving at the front of the house. The door of the car was opened, and after getting out of the car, they walked all the way to the house on the red carpet, and the receptionist even called out the names of the guests.

   Entering the house, there are a lot of people tonight. Looking past, there are a group of men in suits and leather shoes and their female companions wandering around. Everyone is taking the opportunity to get to know each other and chatting with smiles. Most of them are white, but there are also some other races. After walking a few steps, I saw Matthew coming from the crowd.

   "Nice to meet you, Matthew!" An Feng went over to shake his hand and hug him.

  After releasing An Feng, Matthew hugged Joanna politely, and praised: "Joanna, you stole the limelight from many ladies tonight."

  Joanna smiled decently: "Thank you."

Matthew said: "There are many people worth making friends with tonight, including the governor, Republican star candidates, or wealthy businessmen who cooperate with us. I think that as a rich man, Bruce, you are too low-key. It is okay to be low-key in front of the public. , but please don't keep a low profile in front of your friends."

  An Feng said with a smile: "So I dare not neglect this invitation at all."

  Matthew said with satisfaction: "This is the mentality. In the United States, if you have never supported a politician of any party, you are ashamed to call yourself a rich man."

  An Feng nodded: "I agree with your statement."

  Matthew said: "But friends do not lie in many, but in quality. Let me recommend some worthwhile friends for you."

   What Matthew meant was obvious, to formally bring An Feng into their camp. The people he introduces are not ordinary, they are either promising or powerful, or rich businessmen with complex backgrounds. Although I have never heard of them, after introducing the specific industries involved, they all have a lot of background.

  An Feng felt that Matthew was very sincere, and specially introduced the heavyweight to him.

  But it’s also true to think about it. The rich man with a net worth of tens of billions, the key partner of the family in new energy, and the strange person who may heal the old lady’s illness, anyone will win over. Then there's Joanna's relationship in it—they're kind of blood related. Although it is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, it is said when the interests are not enough. As long as An Feng has a level of strength, as long as there is a relationship, please remove the word "far" from distant relatives.

  So they are relatives. According to seniority, the couple should be called Matthew and Bazel "uncle", while the old lady is from the grandma generation.

  Even if there is no such relationship, with Anfeng's potential to create wealth, and being a wealthy businessman without party affiliation, he is also the first choice for people from all walks of life.

  After several groups of people, Matthew introduced a person An Feng felt familiar with: "This is Mr. Horst."

  An Feng remembered that he had seen him on TV, and he was the governor of California.

It is worth mentioning that the governor actually knew about An Feng's background: "I know you, An. You are amazing. The Tailan technology that has changed agriculture, and the medical center that has made breakthroughs now have attracted the attention of the whole world. Concentrated in Los Angeles! Unbelievable genius!"

  An Feng smiled and said: "Your Excellency has won the award, and it mainly depends on everyone's support."

  The governor smiled and said: "I have wanted to chat with you a long time ago, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity. Thanks to this opportunity today, you are my idol."

  An Feng was very puzzled.

  Matthew laughed and explained: "Mr. Horst also runs a farm at home. He has used Tailan's super fertilizer and was shocked by the effect."

  Everyone laughed.

  In fact, the governor is nothing more than that. He can be successful because he relies on the support of the behind-the-scenes group? For the important role recommended by Matthew, the governor naturally dare not show off. If he wants to obtain funds, win support, or live comfortably after leaving office, the generosity of these people is indispensable.

  Talking about some topics with the governor is nothing more than talking about politics. The rise of Chinese power in California, as well as this year's employment situation, drought, etc., chatted for ten minutes, got to know each other, and exchanged contact information - which also means that An Feng will need to attend more activities in the future, what kind of fundraising , Charity auction, the rich will get some blood to some extent, but on the other hand, if An Feng is in trouble, he can also directly ask him to help.

Smiling and saying goodbye to the governor, An Feng took two glasses of cocktails from the waiter's plate, clinked glasses with Joanna, and said: "It's really not easy to build a relationship. Both parties have to do everything possible to find topics that are interesting to each other. It cannot go beyond the fundamental purpose of making friends with each other."

  Joanna smiled: "It's not easy for you here. Having Matthew's personal introduction also means that you appear as an important person."

  An Feng was proud: "So it is very important to choose a big backer."

Joanna smiled. I don't know if it is good luck or what, he actually stood with the Sinclair family, but after thinking about it, with his magic, gold always shines, even if there is no Sinclair family, There will also be other powerful families or financial groups extending olive branches to him.
