Chapter 197 Royal Ascot

When An Feng was waiting for the money to arrive, he handed over the plan of the new company building to John. Considering that it would specialize in the development of high-tech in the future, the construction problem was handed over to the construction company, but the safety problem required the intervention of Aegis Security. . Another thing is also related. The security company has always had expansion plans. After discussions between CEO Mensek and the company's management, they decided to expand in California, which has the greatest potential.

  An Feng met them at the Los Angeles branch. Since the robot company was stolen last time and the company showed strong security and tracking capabilities, he felt that his investment was worthwhile. Even if it cannot bring him profits, the importance of the armed forces that can be mobilized at critical moments is self-evident.

  The rich man is only accompanied by three or five bodyguards, but what about him? An expanding security company. In terms of hierarchy, he is indeed a level higher.

An Feng, the Los Angeles branch of Aegis Security, has been here several times. It is a bit far from the central area. It is a two-story building with a training ground that can park two helicopters at the same time. There are more than 20 security officers stationed here, including 11 people. Most of the rapid response teams are in training on weekdays.

  Generally speaking, this company is very cohesive, and everyone has the desire to succeed. Mensek is noble and provides a platform for veterans to show themselves. As we all know, American soldiers, some of them returned from overseas, have some neurological problems, such as PTSD, and it is difficult to integrate into normal society.

  After these people leave the army, they either wash dishes or drink and fight. The society is out of touch with them. If they don't have a good career plan, they will be useful on the battlefield and stay in society as harmful scum. What Mensek considers is how to continue to restrain them with military regulations and make use of their abilities.

  An Feng met Mensek and Guli in the office building.

Without much fuss, Mensek said: "Based on the current scale of the site, it's a bit small. Our plan is to rent an office building in the city center, which is usually used to receive customers and provide fast service, as the conductor of California center, processing information and coordinating officials."

  An Feng asked: "There shouldn't be such a big venue in the central area, right?"

"So the plan is to separate the office building from the training ground. Los Angeles is too dense and there is no suitable training ground. We plan to rent a large training ground in Wentu County, 60 kilometers away, northwest of Los Angeles. There is a lot of land and the rent is low. It’s cheap, and it’s not too slow with a helicopter.”

  An Feng looked at the map and was very satisfied: "Yes, the scale is several times larger than it is now. If there are problems with funds, I can continue to invest."

  Mensek said with a smile: "The current funds are quite sufficient, but Mr. An, if you want to improve, you can invest in the purchase of a batch of equipment for the office building."

   "What type?" An Feng asked.

  Mensek turned to look at Guli: "Guli is still proficient in crime prevention."

Guli said: "If we continue to strengthen our capabilities, we can add a set of servers. We cooperate with the Los Angeles Police Department to share a part of the personnel database and use the servers for comparative analysis. When performing other security tasks, we can quickly rule out whether there are criminals suspected of committing crimes." personnel."

"It's very good!" An Feng likes it very much. The crime database of the Los Angeles Police Department is very strong. Not only some fugitives in the United States have been overthrown, but there are cases in other regions, and even criminals in the world also have information. When performing tasks, they can pass The branch's command center improves work efficiency.

  After the discussion, Anfeng decided that after the contract amount was credited, he would invest another 20 million in Aegis Security, increasing the proportion of shares to 70%. Reasonable investment expenses can also be regarded as deducting part of personal tax. As for Aegis Security, with so much money, their plans are petty!

  20 million is definitely a lot for a security company, and it can even set up a new one. Therefore, after the California plan, Mensek and Guri together, the big boss is so bold, he can’t be timid, right? Simply expand the west and east at the same time, one distribution in Los Angeles, and one in New York.

   Anyway, there is a lot of money, so don't worry about the capital chain not keeping up.

  …

  In the middle of June, the weather is clear, the birds are singing, and the days are free.

  When Joanna came home, her first priority was to get clothes and hats from various well-known designers. In order to prepare for the Royal Ascot, she spent a lot of thought, coupled with An Feng's unscrupulous pampering, the result was a five-day event, but there were more than a dozen sets of clothes as options.

In addition to the well-tailored clothes, there are also beautiful necklaces, earrings and other jewelry, as well as several handbags specially designed for matching... Compared with the ladies who are trying their best to steal the spotlight, An Feng is very simple, a few sets of tuxedos are in London is waiting to pick up the goods, and after the preparations are over, the special plane departs.

  Gulfstream G650ER undertakes the work of intercontinental flight, with a range of more than 12,000 kilometers, it is easy to fly to Europe, even Russia. There are also father-in-law and mother-in-law, as an annual event, they will also participate this year, but the figure of the bear boy Andy is missing.

   I heard from Kelly that Andy went to reunite with his grandparents, and the Jockey Club is a carnival day for gentlemen and ladies, so it is really inconvenient to bring a child.

   "I agree to have their own space!" An Feng said, the stewardess poured champagne for them, and he toasted: "I wish you all a happy holiday these days!"

  In a pleasant atmosphere, the plane landed in London.

  An Feng originally planned to invite Frank and Kelly to live in his apartment in the city center, but they all had their own plans, so they declined with a smile. An Feng hailed the car for them very sensiblely, watched the two parents leave, and then he and Joanna got tired of doing whatever they wanted.

  An Feng applauded, the parents-in-law are so enlightened.

  Joanna told the truth: "I think everyone's purpose is the same, and romance is not limited to young people."

   "I agree." An Feng nodded, "There are still a few days before the opening ceremony. Should we arrive early to meet the Sinclair family, or continue..."

   "Get ready to pack!" Joanna emphasized.

   They drove to Savile Row, a famous mecca for men's clothing and a prime location for tailoring, where the word "custom" originated. The No. 1 store is the most classic among them. They once customized a dress for Prince William, who was married, and there are countless high-end customers.

  An Feng specially ordered a few sets of tuxedos here last time, in order to prepare for the horse racing festival in June. Although the cost of tailoring clothes is high, you can get a suit that suits you best. It's really interesting to change clothes and stand in front of the mirror, put on a top hat, let alone, it's really interesting.

  …

  The day before, An Feng met Sinclair in Windsor Town.

   Bazel, his wife, and son Charlie were present. Matthew was absent due to business, but his daughter Catherine arrived as scheduled. Although it has not yet opened, everyone is dressed up grandly. Like Joanna, the dresses that were not selected are used in daily life, which is naturally luxurious and dazzling.

   In addition, there are some friends from different regions.

  An Feng was also fortunate to meet a few low-key gentlemen... To be honest, if these people didn't have an Oxford accent and a serious appearance with a tight upper lip and no emotion at all, you really wouldn't be able to tell that they came from extraordinary backgrounds. This aspect is the same as Bazel, rigid and rigorous.

  The next day, they arrived at the scene by car.

  Esco is only about ten kilometers away from Windsor Town. An Feng drove a sports car, carrying a well-dressed Joanna, and it took less than ten minutes to arrive there. They didn't come early, and the nearby parking spaces were almost full. Fortunately, Bazel had reserved several parking spaces in advance.

  Everyone got out of the car, and the men were nothing more than a typical gentleman's three-piece suit, dark tuxedo, vest, trousers, and an extra tall top hat. If it weren't for the cool summer in London, this outfit would be stressful. And ladies, I'm afraid it's hard to have enough words to describe them.

For Joanna, today she is wearing a white printed morning dress and a beige rose-shaped hat that is worn diagonally. Most of the highlights are concentrated on the head and face; while Catherine’s black round The brim hat is even more exaggerated, filled with animal feathers...Every lady passing by, whether it is a morning dress or a hat, is very distinctive, and the shape is bright and exaggerated, which is the opposite of a gentleman.

   It is said that the Asco Jockey Club is known as a paradise for ladies’ dresses and crazy hats. The well-dressed ladies and their hats make you feel as if you are in a sea of ​​high-end outdoor fashion at a glance. Creative, quirky, conservative...the list goes on.

  The Jockey Club is held at the local racecourse. At this time of year, whether it is the mysterious royal family or the low-key nobles, they will appear in uncharacteristically high-profile costumes. The high-class people gathered, and the ordinary people gathered together. It brought groups of different status and status together to celebrate this grand event.

  Thanks to Bazel, An Feng and them are located in the center of the auditorium, with a huge awning above their heads, so they can enjoy enough coolness in summer. After everyone was seated, a dedicated waiter brought them champagne and beer to add to the fun of this grand party.

  Joanna said to him: "Despite the superficial luxury and mystery, it is actually a carnival. Every year, hundreds of thousands of bottles of champagne are consumed at the Jockey Club."

  An Feng was surprised: "Then there are a lot of drunks?"

Joanna nodded and looked around: "Most people here have status, so they pay more attention to performance. But the surrounding audience seats are generally more excited, just like crazy fans at a football game. , will always find ways to celebrate."

  An Feng knew that wherever there was horse racing, there would be gambling. Whether it is the UK or the US, although the crackdown on gambling is very strict, horse racing is out of the question, and the law does not control it, so these days will also be happy days for bookmakers and spectators who are interested in playing a game.

Chatted with friends again, greeted the same grand father-in-law and mother-in-law, walked around and clinked glasses with British friends I knew, and pretended to communicate with a few Oxford accents, through this kind of code to show that I also have an identity... The heavyweights always come last.

   Members of the royal family appeared on the stage in a convertible car, and all the cameras and mobile phones were raised. The queen's appearance is the focus of the Jockey Club every year. Although the old lady is old, she is not weaker in her pursuit of fashion than the young. This year, she is dressed in pink and wearing a multi-layered carved top hat, with a lively style.

   Then there were various members of the royal family with brilliant looks. It was the first time An Feng saw these people with "class" symbols in reality, so he focused his attention, looking here and there. But I found that there was nothing special except that everyone's voice was relatively high.

  An Feng can summarize based on what he has seen: Princes are not necessarily handsome, such as Charles who guards the throne until his hair is gray; princesses are not necessarily young and beautiful, such as Anne who is over 60 years old. In the future, if someone tells him how beautiful the prince and princess are...

  An Feng turned to Joanna and said, "No wonder you didn't bring your child."

   "Why?" Joanna didn't understand.

   "Destroy the fairy tale!" An Feng pursed his lips with a sullen expression.

   "Ha—" Joanna covered her mouth and smiled, pinching him: "Don't make me laugh anymore!"

   You have to emphasize that everyone is the same when you get older, which is of course a good comfort. But in addition to the active prince, there are several other young princesses... To be honest, I don’t feel too sorry for the audience. Seeing everyone’s voice is so loud, An Feng can believe that the British pay attention to "temperament".

  There is a saying on the Internet that there are many ways to praise girls. Beautiful girls are called beauties, unbeautiful girls are called cute, and neither beautiful nor cute are called...temperament.
