Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant

  Chapter 178 Take it! 【Third watch】

  There is only a preliminary plan for the shareholding ratio of the pharmaceutical factory, and it will be finalized only after the anticancer drugs appear. There are still many details to be discussed. Even the cost of pharmaceuticals is a factor affecting the transaction price, so the plan cannot be implemented until the end.

   Now the pharmaceutical factory will be established first. According to the agreed share, Anfeng will take 45% first, and Sinclair will take 55%. After the results come out, it will be adjusted again. The name of the pharmaceutical factory is also simple: Xin's Pharmaceutical Factory. For An Feng, it doesn't matter, anyway, it doesn't need to be called "Eggy Pharmaceutical Factory".

The big things in January are basically done, and the rest is leisure and looking for designers around the world. The Santa Barbara land auction was held in early February, and An Feng, who was determined to win it, had already regarded it as a temporary property in the hands of the government. As long as it is auctioned, it will never be missed.

  Sitting in the car and waiting for Joanna to finish school was a bit boring, so I called my brother-in-law in China after checking the time, it happened to be morning there, so I was very free.

   After connecting, An Feng said: "It's me, do you still have plans to come this year?"

The brother-in-law said: "Yes! The child has been thinking about her partner over there and her pony. Recently, she has been asking me if the pony will grow up again. I said no. She asked me why, and finally , I don’t even know how to explain—if I said I would grow up, she would definitely ask why.”

An Fenghan is one, really tired of dealing with bear kids: "You just have to be more patient, I guess you promise her to go to Disney again and see the underwater world. By the way, how is the business status of the recent car shop? No Bankruptcy was pulled up with a banner, and the door was listening to the radio all day, right?"

Brother-in-law despised: "I don't even look at who I am! Don't talk about bankruptcy, I'm making a profit now! This city is developing well, with spare money in hand, and more and more people are buying cars. Come on, if customers recommend customers, and the brand is good, it will naturally sell well. By the way, there is still some profit, do you want to share half of it with you?"

   "That's enough loyalty!" An Feng said with a smile, "As long as you can think of giving me half, the profit will be given to you! Let's develop well, it's a career anyway."

  Brother-in-law said: "Don't worry, I will come over in a few days and let you see what a successful person is."

  An Feng smiled: "Okay, I'm looking forward to it. By the way, are Mom and Dad okay?"

   "It's very good. There are many activities every day. My father-in-law recently participated in a chess competition. I heard that he was shortlisted for the semi-finals. My mother-in-law asked us to watch the game and cheer..."

  Knowing that everyone's life is very good, An Feng is also relieved, he is afraid that he has money to spend and drink, and is chic and happy, while his family is too poor to live.

   After chatting with Joanna after school, I hung up the phone, went up to her and kissed her lovingly as always, and drove away the Ferrari F50 in the eyes of the crowd.

   Only some comments were left: "It's another car, I'm so envious!"

  …

   There is another party in early February.

To be honest, rich people have a lot of rights and wrongs. Even a low-key rich businessman like An Feng has several receptions, dances, fundraising parties and the like every week. Party, get a few thousand dollars at a fundraiser, and make a name for yourself.

   Now that An Feng's business card has been changed, only the title of "philanthropist" remains.

  There is a saying that the highest state of business cards is to have as few titles as possible, and the ultimate is no business cards—when everyone knows you, they will naturally no longer need business cards.

  In order to achieve the effect, An Feng is now taking a streamlined route.

   And he cannot be absent from this gathering. It is a big gathering of the core group, and the theme is preparations for the upcoming presidential election this year.

  The location is still in Santa Barbara.

There are many people this time, including businessmen and politicians. The star figure is Floyd D. Anderson, the pre-appointed Republican presidential candidate. From February to June, he is almost sure to win in the party primaries. After all, there is a Big gang of Republicans and their behind-the-scenes support groups.

It is customary for An Feng to have friendly exchanges with people from all walks of life. In this big gathering, his status is not the highest, but it is not something that can be ignored. Those who have met him also want to make a good impression on him, so they look familiar.

  It was similar to his situation in St. Kitts, but it was more complicated and high-end here.

Take the well-dressed Joanna around, let her chat with the ladies, and show off what jewelry her husband ordered, what luxury goods she bought, or a new plane for her family Coming soon, what style the interior will be, and more.

  An Feng got together with the small group again, and the focus was on congratulating Anderson.

  Anderson's starting advantage is very obvious. Among the two candidates of the Republican Party, he has been determined to be pushed to the front desk as the No. 1 player. In this election, both California and Texas are already the backyard of the Republican Party. California has a large population, so it has the highest 55 votes in the presidential election.

  You know, in the presidential election, more than 270 votes can be elected president.

  With a solid 55 votes, which almost won the first battle, and Texas has 34 votes, which adds up to almost a third.

   What Anderson needs to focus on now is to focus on winning votes in "swing states" in the advertising war after the bipartisan war is over. This time, the groups united by several families will strongly support him and help him obtain as much campaign funds as possible, so the campaign is very promising.

   For this reason, His Excellency the Baron raised his glass to congratulate: "I hope that Anderson will be able to take the lead in the second half of the election and win!"

  He paused, looked at the others, and said, "With our help, take the lead!"

  Everyone gathered together and clinked glasses: "Take it!"

  …

After the important supporter meeting, even An Feng, who didn't care much about politics, was a little bit enthusiastic. Unfortunately, he is not a citizen, and he has no votes, so he can only provide some help—after all, Anderson has quite a few relatives. Some support can be given as appropriate.

   In addition, what An Feng has to win is the land.

  The auction started on February 10th, and An Feng and his assistant John attended the on-site bidding ceremony.

On the way, John analyzed: "Your biggest opponents in this auction are two real estate developers. They both want to take down this prime location and build a holiday villa. They have sufficient funds. It is estimated that the auction will reach the expected price of 40 million. As for Others are not very competitive."

  An Feng asked: "Are they planning to build twenty or thirty houses?"

  John nodded: "Of course, the land here is notoriously expensive, and only you, sir, dare to use it for private use."

  An Feng said with a smile: "You have to seek some excitement in life."

  John also smiled: "They plan in great detail, but as long as there is a plan, it means that there are limitations, so you can easily defeat them."

  Look at what this said, isn’t it that money can be unprincipled?

  An Feng laughed...but he likes it.

The car arrived at the municipal building, An Feng got off, and walked into the auction venue in the hall together with others. This time, there were three pieces of land participating in the auction, and the top prize was naturally the 302-acre sea view lot that An Feng valued, with all-weather natural scenery and geographical location. Invincible enough, the government announcement is also a land that is highlighted.

  The auction will start in half an hour.

   At the beginning, it was the first two pieces of land, and some real estate developers came to bid for them. There were relatively few private ones. After all, the land was too large, unless it was like An Feng who had the purpose of building a royal garden. After the auction of the first two lands was completed, the auction of the third land began, with a starting price of 22 million US dollars. Everyone raised their cards.

The increase was very fast, and it broke through 30 million US dollars at once, and then hovered around 35 million. The main bids were the two real estate developers mentioned by John. There were almost no third parties competing with them. Wait until 36 million The price was about to drop the hammer when John started.

   "36.5 million! Mr. No. 35 bid 36.5 million! Is there a higher price?"

   "37 million!"

An Feng crossed his arms and turned to look at the two guys who were competing with him. He can now use 60 million US dollars, so no matter how much he competes, he will not fail—the fact is the same, no matter how much they increase the price, An Feng is always a little more than them.

  First, one real estate developer withdrew, and the other persisted for a few rounds. After exceeding the psychological price, he also withdrew. An Feng bought the wasteland for US$42 million, exceeding the expected transaction price by US$2 million. If it is real estate, it means losing a house, no wonder they all gave up.

To be honest, 42 million, even in high-priced areas like New York, can buy a good mansion, and what An Feng got now is just a piece of land... After the auction, the driver drove them around the wasteland. The coastline is 1.3 kilometers, which is very spectacular. Standing on a cliff 30 to 40 meters high, watching the waves beat the rocks, wash the beach, and enjoy the sea breeze, you will feel open-minded and vigorous.

   "Good location!" An Feng said proudly.

  …

  After the land is bought, the plan goes to the next step: design.

It’s not like the Americans, who can build a modular house with a few pieces of wood, and when the typhoon blows, there is nothing left... He needs to be high-end, not short of money, high-end stones are purchased from all over the world, and a certain amount of jade is needed , agate...and the design style must be innovative, so as not to be copycat. It is equipped with a green and comfortable English garden, an artificial lake and a beautiful private beach.

If necessary, even the basement needs to be well designed, make full use of the land space, build a secret room, a wine cellar, etc., and store some valuables in the secret room... An Feng can't think of what is precious at the moment, but the wine cellar has many uses, In the future, we can keep the wines of An's Winery for more than ten years, and celebrate important occasions with a few bottles... There are many plans, including Joanna's ideas.

   These things are naturally handed over to the secretary.

  Call Angela and ask her to be a designer who is usually good at royal gardens and top residences around the world. This is a big project, and talents are not easy to find. If some design fees are raised, the difficulty should be reduced. An Feng told Angela the idea, as long as it can satisfy him, the money is enough!
