Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant

  Chapter 221 Take it all away

  The research center has two research and development directions.

They are cancer drugs and biological beverages. It is difficult to distinguish the market size of these two, but according to Anfeng’s estimation, the latter should have great potential in the long run. First, cancer drugs are only aimed at patients and the price is high; while beverages are relatively low in price. , applicable to almost all groups of people.

After returning to the vineyard, he came up with a lot of ideas. Beverage companies can be said to be the trend of the future. In order to make its taste more acceptable to the public, different flavors can be considered. Anyway, these added drugs are rarely repulsive, and they are omnipotent. Type, it is no problem to put it in the pot to cook.

  Going around to the back, the most important thing is the taste of the drink.

An Feng thought about it for a few days, and there was no good solution, but if he really thought that his "a few days" were very long, he would be very wrong, it was only ten minutes, and then the brat came to tease him, little tiger Come to rub against him, my wife will come and get bored with him... and ride horses with everyone, one day will pass.

He summed it up as a way of thinking of "making progress while making steady progress", with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness and beauty... Finally, the day of the Pebble Beach Auto Show is ushered in. The flagship models provided by Anfeng this time are Ferrari's The F50 and ENZO, as well as McLaren's F1 and P1, are heavyweights.

   But he does not participate in the activities on the first and second days, but only goes to the exhibition on the third and fourth days.

   On the morning of the third day, the professional tow truck hired by An Feng arrived and carefully transported away the sports cars worth more than ten million dollars. An Feng's family was dispatched together, and the bright red convertible California was the first choice for travel. Joanna handed out sunglasses to everyone and set off noisily.

   Due to the fact that Xiaoyu is not old enough to sit in the passenger seat, the brother-in-law can only drive a four-seater car. There are many sports cars in Anfeng, but all of them are two-seaters, but there are no four-seaters... Slowly driving along the California highway, I came to Monterey with the sea breeze, and the auto show was under preparation.

The Pebble Beach Auto Show is different from some international auto shows. It is open-air and has a relatively free style. The exhibitors can be both manufacturers and private individuals. There are almost no car models. They are usually placed on the lawn and displayed at will, more like a huge event. The car fan event, the commercial atmosphere is not strong.

  The theme of the Pebble Beach Auto Show is classic cars... But in recent years, the exhibition has not only been a stage for classic cars, modern sports cars, and future concept cars have all been unveiled. It is said to be a classic car show, but you can see a group of concept cars there. Taking a few steps back, An Feng's McLaren F1 is also getting old.

So he sent the four flagship sports cars, and originally planned to send the Porsche 918, but unfortunately there are not enough booths, and some are not connected together, so the 918 can only wait for the next appearance—maybe next time It should be in the exhibition hall at Anfeng Motor Speedway.

  …

The weather in California is still sunny and the sky is clear. Xiaobai, who is held in Joanna's arms, is the first time to experience a convertible car. From time to time, he raises his head and looks at the surrounding scenery. The move also made Joanna laugh constantly.

   After everyone arrived, they entered along the road built by the golf course. Joanna was wearing a plain dress and a round-brimmed hat, holding An Feng's arm, and walking the "big cat" with a rope in the other hand. The little tiger is very eye-catching, and everywhere he passes is star-level treatment aimed at the camera.

  The feeling of hanging out with his wife with his arms around him is very chic. With sunglasses stuck on his nose, An Feng leisurely accompanies him to the auto show. The auto show lasts for 5 days. The first day is the opening ceremony, and all models will be unveiled. The next day is the highlight of the classic car parade.

  The convoy will pass through forests, cliffs, lakesides and other historically significant places. It will depart in the morning and arrive at noon. They will travel about 17 miles. If you can successfully reach the finish line, you will be allowed to participate in the classic car competition. But some people just drive classic cars out to show off.

  The first and second days mainly depend on personal preferences. An Feng originally wanted to go, but he didn’t have a classic car, and his family only wanted to participate in the open-air exhibition, so they only came on the third day. After entering the arena with the riders, follow the icon sent by John to the vicinity of the exhibition area and meet the assistant John Adams.

Naturally, the exhibition also requires a certain amount of manpower management. It is impossible for An Feng to guard his car, and the assistant is the first choice. Recently, John has nothing to do, so arrange some work for him. An Feng also pretends to keep him away In the office, come and do some outdoor activities, basking in the sun to adjust your body and mind.

  An Feng greeted him: "John, why are you still dressed so formally?"

  John's unchanging suit and shirt, like some of the staff around him, is a bit too serious. He listened to what An Feng said, and said with a smile: "Professional habits, and I will be responsible for explaining it later. If someone takes a group photo, I will do it more formally..."

   "Haha, whatever you want, please be more casual, go shopping, drink a glass of champagne, don't stay here all the time!" An Feng said to him.

  John smiled: "I will, sir!"

  An Feng nodded, John took a few glances at Xiaobai, and said, "The pet is very cute, is it a tiger?"

   "That's right!" An Feng bowed his head, Xiaobai was about to bite the introduction card erected in front of him, he pulled it back and warned it: "Little boy, be careful!"

   "Wow! It's so cute!"

   While An Feng was "repairing" the little tiger, a girl's voice came from beside him. When he looked up, several big ponies stared at Xiaobai with strange expressions.

  They said: "Sir, can we take a photo together?"

   "No problem." An Feng hugged Xiaobai, and three good-looking horses automatically surrounded him, and took a few selfies, envious of others.

   Of course, An Feng is still very disciplined, after all, his wife is watching...

   "May I touch it?" They asked unsatisfactorily.

   "Of course." An Feng smiled, "Maybe you guys hug it?"

   "Yeah! This is the best!" They said expectantly, An Feng put Xiao Bai into their arms, and said: "Be careful, it is not light."

  Xiao Bai got into the arms of the beauty, and turned his head restlessly. This paw accidentally reached out to the girl's chest, which made the beauty laugh again and again. It still looks cute and innocent. An Feng was speechless when he saw it, but luckily it was a tigress, otherwise it must have been called a **** embryo.

  Let the little tiger and the girls fight for a while, the driver drove Anfeng's four sports cars to the exhibition area, parked them on the grass, and put a chain around them to prevent accidental scratches. From the time the sports car entered the arena, there were photographers who were constantly taking pictures and framing the scene, and the four flagships were still very attractive.

  He stands by and enjoys the attention—cars and pets, actually.

   Later, simply put the little tiger on the front cover of the sports car and act as a model! An Feng put his arms around Joanna and watched from the side. The little star was very cooperative with the camera, and the click sounded continuously, and then asked Xiaoyu to hold the tiger in front of the car to pose for a photo. The little girl and the cute tiger softened the voices of the passing ladies.

  …

There are many highlights of the exhibition. An Feng also paid attention to the auction of classic cars, but they are all very common models, and there are not enough highlights to attract him. There are no classic cars from Ferrari. He plans to collect a set of 250 series , if the price is right, it will be a solid investment.

  In the afternoon, he met Howard who came to the exhibition.

   "Hi, Howard, why didn't I see your rare car today?" An Feng said.

   "I won't participate this time, I'm purely here to participate in the classic car auction." Howard said with a smile.

   "Me too, but my goal is a modern sports car. There will be an auction for several weight models at three o'clock in the afternoon. Are you not interested?"

Howard said: "Yes, there are, but this time there are too many competitors, the price is estimated to be high, and it is obvious that you are one of them, isn't it? By the way, I saw your show car just now, all four cars Very good, I really envy you who can collect so many treasures!"

  An Feng greeted him for a while, and the time came to three o'clock.

They walked into the venue together. Due to the dramatic increase in the excitement of the Pebble Beach Auto Show in recent years, the original classic car auction has added an extra link, becoming the auction of classic cars in the front and modern cars in the back, and RM, Sotheby's and other industries. With the participation of the leader, there are many heavyweight auction items.

Originally, I heard rumors about Ford GT40 racing cars, but in the end it was confirmed that there were no rumors. Otherwise, An Feng would also participate in the auction of classic cars and set a record of tens of millions of dollars... This time he only valued two Lamborghinis. The first one is The Reventon convertible model, the production of "Reventon" is extremely rare, it adopts a full carbon fiber design, and its shape is inspired by the F22 fighter jet. It is a sports car that can instantly kill men and women.

  The other "sixth element", to be honest, does not have many highlights, but the number is small, and they are all track versions. For Lamborghini, which is not very good at racing, it is not outstanding. That is, its rarity is worthy of collection, otherwise An Feng would skip it, because the starting price is 2.8 million US dollars.

The third car is also a racing car, Pagani's Zonda-R, which set a record of 6 minutes and 47 seconds on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Few scored 6 points. But such a comparison is meaningless, because R is a racing car, and Ferraris are mass-produced cars.

An Feng bought it mainly to see if he could beat Laguna Seca's record. Maybe he could break 1 minute and 30 seconds, but it's rare and has a high appreciation potential, so it's worth buying. . Although the prices of the cars he bought over the years are high, there is considerable room for appreciation.

  He promises to keep these cars for a few more years, and they will definitely make money if they are auctioned off.

So in the auction of the first Zonda-R, An Feng showed other bidders what it means to be ruthless, and directly bought it for 2.5 million US dollars. According to its starting price of 2 million, the collector has now made a lot of money . The next Ravington was also won by him for $2.3 million.

Because of this ferocity, when The Sixth Element started shooting, everyone looked at him in unison. After bidding interest, others dropped off.

   Originally, the price could be soaring very high, but because of this scene, the sixth element was auctioned for 3 million US dollars, which counted as earning the money of an ordinary Ferrari—but definitely not much. Therefore, An Feng became the biggest harvester in this auction, 7.8 million plus a certain amount of taxes and fees, all of which were taken away.
