Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant Chapter 18

  Chapter 18 Encounter at the Auto Show

Anfeng got in touch with Tailan Company by phone, and chatted with a manager of the other party for more than ten minutes, talking about the technology and advantages of new fertilizers, and asked Anfeng for the valuation. He quoted 10 million, but the other party did not immediately express his opinion. He said he wanted to get more information and go back to discuss.

An Feng sent them the materials he had prepared a long time ago, and he didn't have to worry about leaking the secrets. The United States has a very strong awareness of intellectual property rights, and he has applied for a patent. The firecrackers came back to set off - because the lawsuit was won.

  After the phone call, An Feng went back to the gym to continue competing with the barbell. Recently, Joanna and his family went to Florida. They talked on the phone yesterday. She said that the vacation was boring. If it wasn't for the family meeting, she would rather come back to shovel horse manure.

An Feng also advised her to play for a few more days, let go of her body and mind and go on vacation, and not to be an alternative in the crowd, but he regretted it after only one day. It's boring to have no one to talk to, and he can't hold on to the employees of the vineyard Chatting non-stop, the boss can sleep all day long, but the employees have a lot of things to do.

The weather is sweltering, and outdoor horse riding is not suitable. In the end, I had no choice but to stay indoors and exercise. By the way, I trained Pipi and Eggy on the treadmill. He trained them as excellent hounds. Going to take them hunting.

  California is open for hunting in winter. You only need to apply for a hunting license, and you are allowed to carry a shotgun into the woods to hunt wild animals. There are many types, including deer, antelope, wild boar and even black bear. The two little guys will almost grow up by then, not to mention fighting black bears, at least it will be no problem to catch a rabbit, right?

After finishing the last set of bench presses, he lay panting and refused to get up. His exercise habit had been maintained since college, and it had indirectly shaped his figure, but the effect was far worse than it is now. Maybe the biopharmaceutical is not just to transform the brain, Also quietly changed his body.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I don't have the exaggerated muscles that are about to explode like a bodybuilder, but I am no worse than those Hollywood actors who rely on their body to steal the spotlight. With 181 cm and a weight of more than 86 kg, the limit of the bench press has reached 200 kg, no wonder the recoil is too small when playing with guns in the shooting range recently.

  He did a few bodybuilder poses in front of the mirror, and the phone rang. Seeing that it was Lei, the bank secretary, he wiped off his sweat with a towel, and went to the window to answer. Lei usually brings invitations to charity auctions and fashion conferences. An Feng attended a conference and gained a lot of knowledge.

  This time it is an auto show, but its nature is different from that of Frankfurt, Geneva and other large auto shows. It is an informal exhibition, including collections of private car owners and new cars from manufacturers. The purpose of the manufacturer is naturally to publicize, but private car owners may sign up for the exhibition after washing their cars on a whim.

   An Feng asked for the location and agreed.

  Two days later, I drove out the clean convertible car. According to American thinking, the distance is not measured in units of distance, but in units of time. Fifteen minutes of driving is considered a short distance, and an hour is not far. What's more, in a place like California, it's very pleasant to drive in the wind.

  The exhibition is located in Monterey County. An Feng has never been there, but he has heard of the famous Pebble Beach Auto Show, where luxury and classic cars are on display, and there is also a classic car track in the local area. The sports car shuttled between the quiet town and the vast fields, looking at the beautiful scenery all the way, dragging for two hours to arrive, and then followed the GPS to find the venue.

  Because it is an open-air auto show, the style is casual. Many people come in convertible cars along the way, the most common ones are Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro (Bumblebee). Traveling in convertible cars is regarded as the culture of California. Of course, the absolutely indispensable Harley Fleet is also a scenic spot.

  The tourists are dressed similarly to An Feng, with sunglasses, short-sleeved shirts, jeans, and a casual holiday attitude. There are also more casual guys. When An Feng was looking for a parking space, he saw a black Lamborghini parked on the side of the road. The scissor door was pushed open, and a foot in flip-flops stretched out.

   An Feng found a seat and parked the car. A lady who got off the Corvette Z06 sports car next to him smiled at him and said "good afternoon", and An Feng responded with a smile. He found that where rich people gather together, people are very friendly and polite. Even if they don't know each other, they will smile when they pass by. On the other hand, in a metropolis like Los Angeles, there are mixed people with varying qualities, and it's not uncommon for people to swear at each other.

  An Feng put the sunglasses in his pocket, and showed his electronic invitation card at the entrance. The auto show is very low-key and there is no publicity. Tourists are roughly divided into two types: rich people like An Feng are invited actively, and the other is tickets for car enthusiasts or magazine reporters.

Walking with the crowd for a short distance, it feels different from large-scale domestic or foreign auto shows. The exhibition cars are parked on the lawn. Except for a small number of classic cars, in order to prevent scratches, they have set up suggested fences and signs to popularize knowledge. There are no fences and no car models.

   At first glance, this auto show is really shabby, but An Feng likes this environment. He has seen domestic auto shows, which basically sell meat instead of cars. They are vulgar and boring, and ignore the protagonist of "cars". It looks shabby here, but the cars on display are all very old.

After walking around, rare sports cars emerged one after another, such as the McLaren P1 that he had not yet obtained, and the predecessor of P1 who came to help out, the famous McLaren F1. This silver-gray McLaren was brought by a private owner. Here it is, and despite being over a dozen years old, it's been very well maintained.

  Ferrari's exhibition area also brought the third GTO sports car in history: 599GTO, as well as the past and present flagships: Ferrari ENZO and LaFerrari. An Feng took out his mobile phone and took a few pictures. Those taking pictures are divided into two extremes: one is a casual mobile phone party like An Feng, who snaps a few pictures when he sees a beautiful car, and the other is a professional photographer, holding a DSLR, and changing the lens after taking a picture .

An Feng saw an extremely rare Ferrari: 250GT-California, a classic sports car in the 1960s, and the most expensive Ferrari car series. Among the 250 series models, the highest auction price of GTO reached more than 30 million US dollars. California's auction There are also 8.9 million, and now it is even higher—because it is constantly appreciating. It is said that the annual increase rate exceeds 15%, which is comparable to real estate!

   Lu met a divine car, and he couldn't let it go. He took two steps back, intending to show it a mighty profile shot, but suddenly heard an "oh", and accidentally bumped into someone.

  An Feng hurriedly turned around and said, "Oh, sorry, ma'am!"

"It's okay, I didn't notice anyone behind me." The person he accidentally bumped into was a white woman with dyed blond hair. She took a small step back, with no expression of blame on her face, and glanced at the picture An Feng was about to shoot. car, asked casually: "Do you like this car?"

  An Feng nodded: "Well, I think it is more legendary. Well, I also admire the owner of the car for maintaining it so well."

   "Take a picture for me too." The strange woman handed him the camera in her hand.

   "OK." An Feng watched her walk to the front of the car, and gently brushed his hair. His eyes lit up, and he immediately captured those movements.

   "It looks so beautiful!" An Feng returned the camera to her. She looked at a few snapped photos and smiled: "Your reaction is pretty fast!"

  An Feng smiled: "The main reason is that people are good-looking, and the effect of the photos is naturally good."

   "You can talk," she said.

"Haha, let me ask you a question, are you a car model? I think your movements just now are very natural and professional." An Feng looked at her, tall and tall, wearing a pair of white sneakers and denim shorts, looking youthful, with a top A long-sleeved shirt with a knot at the hem adds a touch of sexiness.

  She smiled and said: "I have worked part-time a few times, but I am not a car model. I am actually a young actress. My name is Jennifer, but my friends call me Jenny."

  An Feng said: "My name is Bruce, hello! You are a star! Nice to meet you!"

   "It's just a small role that plays a part." She smiled, but An Feng's words obviously benefited her, and she said, "How about taking a picture of you and the car?"

  An Feng nodded and took a few steps back. Jenny took a few photos of him with her camera. An Feng went over to see the effect and praised: "Not bad."

   "How about we take a group photo?" Jenny asked.

"Okay." An Feng and Jenny stood together, and she took a selfie with the camera, and then An Feng also changed into her mobile phone. She looked at the effect of the shooting, shook her head and pouted Said: "No, these few photos are not good enough, let's do it again!"

  She took An Feng's cell phone, deleted a few unsatisfactory photos, and then returned them to him satisfied: "Here, here are the most beautiful Jenny!"

  An Feng smiled for her child's heart: "Haha, if you become famous in the future, I will show these photos to my friends. This is the most beautiful Jenny. I am so envious of them!"

   "You're so funny." Jenny smiled, "Shall we go shopping together?"

   "My honor." An Feng made a gentle gesture of invitation.

I walked around the exhibition with Jenny who I just met, talked about some knowledge about cars, and then listened to her talk about her own affairs, "I am here to help my friends this time. She is a professional model and will be in the auction in the afternoon. In the middle of the show, I brought a camera here to take a few pictures of her."

  An Feng looked at the time and said, "It's still early for the auction."

"Yes, but professional requirements, they have to arrive early, put on makeup, rehearse, and sometimes temporarily modify their standing postures, etc. It's the same as being an actor, repeating, repeating, and repeating until the most suitable one is captured. The lens, just like our group photo."

  An Feng nodded, agreeing with her opinion.

  Jenny took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "It's too hot, let's go to rest for a while, how about a drink?"

   "OK, but I'm not very familiar with this area." An Feng said.

   "I know there is a delicious ice cream shop nearby." When Jenny talked about ice cream, the tiredness on her face disappeared immediately.

   "Lead the way."

  An Feng followed Jenny who described how delicious the ice cream was, admiring that this woman can miraculously overcome fatigue when she thinks of delicious food.

   "It's a bit far to walk, let's drive." She said.

   "Drive my car." An Feng led her to the parking lot, asked her to wait outside, and reversed the car by himself.

  Jenny saw a red Ferrari parked beside her, and the driver happened to be the very gentleman Asian just now, and she said in surprise, "Wow, is this your car?"

  An Feng smiled and said, "It doesn't look like it? Come in."

  Jenny sat in with a face of novelty, kept looking at the car, and praised: "It's a beautiful car, no wonder you are interested in that car."

   "I think I should thank that classic car, otherwise we wouldn't have known each other." An Feng turned his head, kicked the accelerator, and the loud sound of the engine echoed on both sides of the street.

  Jenny took out her phone, suddenly frowning, and complained to herself: "It's too bad, I didn't wear sunglasses, forget it, let's take a selfie first."

  An Feng glanced at Jenny who was winking at the camera, and smiled.

   "Here's one for you too." Jenny tilted her head and leaned over. The camera was aimed at them, and An Feng, who was wearing sunglasses, had to act cool for a second.
