Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant

  Chapter 375 Involved in Finance

   An Feng made several important phone calls, and this year's undecided meeting place was chosen here. As for the focus of the consortium's industrial field, words certainly carry weight. In addition, An Feng doesn't usually take the initiative to engage in many social activities, but this time he took the initiative to invite everyone to be interested.

   After confirming the location with several bigwigs, they notified Brandon. An Feng played the role of making requirements during the whole process, and someone would perfect other implementation methods and details. After the confession, he was free to do what he wanted, very leisurely.

  He is relaxed, but for the manor's service team, the pressure is not small.

  In the guest list provided by An Feng to Brandon, the invited guests were all well-known, including many wealthy businessmen, some with titles, and even the name of the President of the United States. This is going to be announced, and the gathering of many big figures will definitely attract a lot of attention.

This guest list also affirmed the social status of the owner of the manor. Both the housekeeper and the servants were surprised. An Feng gave them the impression that he was relatively low-key. He also invited guests at home, but the number of times was very small. Engaged in high-level reception activities.

The Middle Eastern royal family he received a few days ago reflected his social circle. This time, they were wealthy businessmen and politicians. Even the president wanted to visit as a guest. Talking about it was a way of talking, but Brandon seriously reminded the servants, This is a private party, and any rumors are strictly forbidden.

  Brandon’s style is very rigorous, and he has seen a lot of big scenes. Although it is not as exaggerated as it is now, the guests at home are either princes or nobles or the president of the country, but after experiencing many things, the scene can’t help him. He studied the list before planning a formal reception.

The butler carefully planned the details, including the vehicles the guests took, and the order of arrival. Wu Qian, as the housekeeper, also showed the most rigorous attitude. Five-star service standard.

Wu Qian was a little nervous. They were going to entertain the President of the United States, as well as the mysterious tycoons who were ahead of the president on the list. There was no doubt that this was the top social circle. Even as waiters, they felt radiant. The low-key Mr. An It was a great shock to them.

  …

Not only the manor was nervously preparing for this party, but An Feng's assistant John also spent a lot of thought. He even ordered several sets of dresses for his wife, and he was not stingy with jewelry. He knows the abilities of the guests better than anyone else.

  As An Feng's closest assistant, he has naturally known his circle of friends over the years, and the people he deals with are undoubtedly people who can influence the country: huge financial groups and big families that have dominated the world a hundred years ago. And now, he is going to join this circle.

  He gets excited just thinking about it. This is a real high-level executive. Even though he is now a rich man with an annual income of one million and dividends of nearly ten million, he is probably nothing compared to those people. Thanks to An Feng, he has achieved what he is today, and he is already very satisfied with the status quo.

  He knows what kind of assistant An Feng needs. Smart brains are secondary, but loyalty is the most important thing. One brain is not smart, but you can spend money to hire countless smart heads. Once there is no loyalty, everything will collapse. John kept this in mind when he got on the Anfeng ship.

  In fact, he is very smart and knows how to hold on to An Feng as his backer. Being a personal assistant seems to be a part-time job, but he is more nourishing than some corporate bosses. Last year, he did a good job, made a lot of profits from financial investment, and his team bonus was tens of millions. He is already impeccable.

After some preparations, he and his wife Mary got dressed and got ready that afternoon. The child had already hired a special child care provider. He also calculated the distance from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara. He had better arrive on time, and the bosses can be late. , but he obviously can't show off.

   "Honey, relax!" John's wife Mary said to John who was walking up and down in the living room. In fact, she just looked in the mirror several times in a row.

   "We will meet President Anderson tonight." John said expectantly, "If possible, I hope to take a photo with him, my parents will definitely be proud of me!"

   "You will." Mary said with a smile.

  John nodded, raised his hand and looked at the valuable Vacheron Constantin on his wrist: "Let's go, counting possible traffic jams, let's go early."

John drove his new Tesla out, and there was also a Maserati GT sports car in the garage, which was ordered after watching An Feng's game last time. Only in this way can it be worthy of the million-dollar mansion in Santa Monica.

Los Angeles is not far from Santa Barbara. It’s about 100 kilometers away on Highway 1. If you drive fast, you can do it in an hour. He drove faster in the first part of the journey, and soothing music was playing in the quiet Tesla. After reaching Santa Barbara, he slowed down.

Followed the GPS prompt to the previously obtained address, entered the private road, and there were black-clothed bodyguards checking. John took out his mobile phone, opened the electronic invitation, and scanned it for the serious-looking bodyguards. After confirming that the information was correct, they were let go and drove according to the instructions. into the manor.

   "It's spectacular!" Mary's eyes swept across the flat ground, and her vision stayed on this ivory-white building, and the red light of the sunset added momentum to it.

"It's really remarkable." John also took a few more glances, but he didn't let the car stay in the driveway for too long. He drove the car to the parking lot according to the street signs and found a place in the luxury car. It seems that they are not counted this time. At the earliest, for this important gathering, someone has already advanced it.

   After getting off the car, they went to the main entrance of the building, stepped on the red carpeted stairs, and a white waiter received them.

  The waiter led them into the house, walked to the left, pushed open a three-meter-high door, and stepped into the main banquet hall.

   "Wow!" Mary made a small sound from her mouth.

The luxury and gold of the main banquet hall rushed forward. Under the reflection of the lights on both sides of the wall, there was golden light everywhere. The huge ceiling painting above the head brought a sense of solemnity and sacredness. The surrounding guests admired it in amazement.

   They didn't come back to their senses until someone came in front of them. After seeing the person, John said, "Mr. An, Madam, hello!"

   "Hello, John!" An Feng reached out and shook his hand, looking at the woman next to him, "Maybe this is Madam?"

   "Yes, her name is Mary." John smiled, "This is my boss, Ann, and this is his wife, Dame Joanna from England."

   "Hello!" Mary also shook hands with them, "You are so beautiful, ma'am."

   "Thank you!" Joanna had a friendly smile on her face. Her dress tonight is really suitable for the occasion. She is wearing a golden dress. The designer uses multiple layers of creativity. The innermost base is noble ivory white, the main layer in the middle is yellowish, and the outer layer is light and fluffy. The gauze she wears is shining gold, and with the resplendent environment here, she seems to be the most honorable queen at the reception.

   After shaking hands, Joanna invited Mary to the lady's circle, An Feng asked the servant for a glass of wine, walked to the large window next to him, and chatted with John about some serious matters. The main reason is to consider using part of the spare funds for financial investment, and it is to play big with the consortium.

An Feng is an industrialist who deals in tangible commodities and rarely touches financial economy because he is not good at it and doesn’t understand it, but this time he is very sure—because he plays a key role on his side, and he has also understood it. Everyone in the financial field is doing well.

This is not a game in the ordinary sense. They have many methods, the most common one is "long and short selling", such as the decline of Intel and AMD stocks - because GP Electronics launched desktop-level processors, the consortium's investment banks sold short stocks The means to earn tens of figures of money.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. The consortium has developed a lot of cheats in the financial field. Since the day GP was established, this kind of money manipulation has never stopped. These people have made a lot of money on Wall Street. It is estimated that it has made a profit of 30 to 40 billion.

This is why they don't mind if An Feng controls most of the company's shares—in fact, they just need to make sure that the company is controlled by a consortium, that the trading of tangible goods is normal, and that the financial sector unites to make much more money than An Feng's men. The company's net profit is high.

An Feng has a lot of spare cash. Recently, the expenditures of several companies have not been large, and the cash backlog is serious. He just wants to join the financial investment of the consortium, and he doesn't expect to make much. A return on investment of one billion US dollars is about 15%. Said that they have played the game of double or triple one billion before.

  An Feng had a brief chat, and then said: "You will assign me to chat with a few friends later, and analyze the risks and benefits of participating in their cooperation."

"I will do a good job, sir." John said, he is a professional in this field, and he has learned a lot by himself in recent years. Although he is not as good as the top leaders on Wall Street, it is more than enough to provide a reference. It is not him who really uses his brains. It's the behind-the-scenes team of those tycoons.

There were a lot of guests participating in this private reception, and the spacious main banquet hall could handle it easily. With the continuous arrival of heavyweight guests, the atmosphere of the reception became more and more enthusiastic. Later, John met Anderson as he wished, and chatted with him a few words, and more It was talking and laughing and took a few selfies.

Politicians were more close to the people at the scene. The other big chaebols were very low-key and had their own circles, obviously around An Feng. A group of bigwigs were commenting on the layout of the main banquet hall, and there were laughter from time to time. The atmosphere looks very harmonious.

  The butler of the manor came to John and said something in a low voice. He put down his glass and hurried towards An Feng.

  An Feng was talking: "Gentlemen, please follow me!"

  Everyone followed him to leave the main banquet hall, pushed open the ivory white door and came to the golden corridor on the left, the crystal chandelier above the head glowed with golden light, and the surrounding curtains were also faintly golden, unabated in luxury. They visited the halls along the way, and finally sat down in the well-stocked study.

  An Feng talked with them about financial investment.

  Bazel said: "I remember asking you before, but you weren't interested."

   "I used to invest in a lot of projects, and I was busy with business, so I had no spare money." An Feng said, in fact, he was just lazy. "I have a lot of idle cash this year, and the investment has been suspended. Other investments have not been effective in a short time. I am very interested in seeing that your business is improving."

   "We don't think we have too little money." Austin said, "The benefits of the current warm-up activities are quite good, and you can join if you have extra money."

   "Warming up?" An Feng was puzzled, warming up after playing so big?

  Matthew leaned on the sofa and raised his legs: "They have big goals, such as some relatively weak financial consortiums."

An Feng feels very confident, but it is not impossible to be honest. The real economy has accumulated huge funds and advantages for the consortium. In the financial field, the development of the consortium is not weak. The two-pronged approach, the explosive energy is absolutely terrifying, no wonder Say it's time to warm up.
