Chapter 171 Spend the money

Although it has not been determined whether it can be obtained by that land... An Feng is determined to win, and he has it, whether it is money or human relations. Naturally, he does not lack money, and he can still afford it if he has tens of millions. As for people, through Brulean's relationship, he has met some local officials who understand the details.

In fact, money is the one that plays a leading role. As long as you have money, the government as the auctioneer will not mind who it sells to. An Feng left with satisfaction and looked at the land there again. The location is good and the transportation advantages are also there. It is surrounded by a wealthy area, with high quality and very good public security.

The rest is the choice of style.

In search of inspiration, he and Joanna took advantage of the holiday to visit the Hells Castle in SLO.

The Hex Castle is built on the top of the mountain and overlooks the mountains. It uses the architectural styles of various periods of Europe, that is, it combines various architectural cultures into a big pot and combines a sense of luxury, creating an illusion of profound history - you have to forgive the poor history of the United States.

Most of the rich Americans advocate European culture. They also fantasize about living a luxurious and elegant life in European aristocratic and having the temperament of aristocratic. So the Hex Castle imitated well, but unfortunately it was donated to the government before it was built. Some people said that the money was insufficient, while others said that the family had a better castle.

After a while, An Feng felt luxurious. Every detail of the castle was very particular, but it was always wrong. Perhaps the religious atmosphere of the building was too strong, and I felt a sense of solemnity. When I moved in, I felt fresh at the beginning, but I would be replaced by dullness over time.

Joanna looked at the towering castle in the courtyard: "The sunny and blue sea and blue sky environment should be very relaxing, but it is less angry."

An Feng nodded: "Yes, it's like an old man in his late age."

So this style is not suitable for them. Afterwards, through the Internet and on-site visits, they had a more suitable solution, referring to the Russian Palace of Ekaterina, a palace with a Baroque style - it can also be said to be the Russian version of the Palace of Versailles, but the color is more vivid.

Although they were unable to visit on site, the pictures taken from the sightseeing were very beautiful. The building was east-west, one long row, two floors high, with milky white walls, which echoed the embellished blue and gold, and the contrast of colors was strong, giving people a sense of spectacular without losing their luxury.

The front yard of the palace is very wide. The garden is exquisitely laid out, with green grass and rippling lake water. The interior of the palace puts the royal style to the limit. The magnificent corridor leaves only luxury in the eyes, and at the same time, some blue and white combinations dilute the glitz.

After reading the introduction, Joanna said: "It was a vacation palace used by the female tsar. It was brightly colored and lively and exaggerated in style, which was used to relax the Queen and escape the summer vacation. According to some unofficial history, Caterina II and her favorite ministers were in it..."

An Feng pinched Joanna's face without moral integrity, but admired the architecture: "It is this fresh and elegant, and it is not lacking in luxury. If it is too solemn, like the castle in front, with a towering roof and a monotonous color, it will probably feel very gloomy when you go to the bathroom at night!"

"Coward." Joanna joked about him, "and decided to adopt this ostentatious Baroque style?"

An Feng nodded: "Of course, isn't it good?"

Joanna said: "It's really like this? It's the Queen's Bedroom!"

An Feng shrugged: "What does that matter? We just like it. The rest depends on how the designer uses his imagination according to the requirements."

Joanna said longingly: "I really look forward to it, our palace!"

Finally, it was determined to build their future mansions with a strong contrast style of the holiday palace. Of course, the proportions must be reduced appropriately. Of course, the land must be sufficient, but there are not many people, so it is necessary to alleviate the feeling of emptiness brought by the majestic atmosphere. After all, it is not a royal palace to be built now. It is a private mansion.

The construction of the palace took more than ten years, or even decades. This was with the emperor investing in the construction and gathering experts across the country. If it were private people, I would probably not have so much financial and material support. Could it be that the day I was already old with a crutch on the day I wanted to live in?

So focus on enjoyment and enjoy it while the most beautiful years of life. Don’t recall the passion of the past until you get old. Anfeng hopes that the construction period will be three years, and a little longer can be four years. At that time, perhaps with children, you can walk in the royal garden with your wife and children.

...

After their mansion style was determined, Joanna went to prepare for the final work of the semester. Anfeng walked on the vineyard - now it should be "An's Winery". The vineyard has been transformed, and it has been promoted from a garden to a self-produced and sold winery, with vitality and preparations to soar into the sky.

John, the manager of the winery, is responsible for it. From picking grapes to hiring senior winemakers, he did it all. Lin Hai is only responsible for marketing, how to sell wine to more people, expand its brand effect, and seize the market... It sounds like everyone has strong confidence.

Old John suggested that Anfeng could reduce the planting area appropriately.

An Feng asked: "Why?"

Old John explained with a smile: "Because the winemaking workshops in the underground wine cellar are limited and the yield is too high, it will invisibly lower its value. Referring to the famous French manors, the total area of ​​land is large, but their grape planting area is maintained at about one hundred acres and the yield is stable."

An Feng said: "But that's a big reputation. We are not famous yet, are we?"

John Old John said: "Don't worry, this batch of grapes is of great quality. Even Frank, who bought the grapes, kept praising them as the best grapes he had ever seen."

"Is it a biological fertilizer?" An Feng thought. In the past, Tailan did ask him to produce some, but unfortunately Tailan has changed hands now.

The winery affairs were left to Old John to take charge, and An Feng met with the design team of the racing yard. The design has been completed this time and they will contract the construction of the racing yard. It is expected to be completed in about one and a half years. According to An Feng's requirements, he first paid 200 million US dollars in contract.

In fact, this money is a lot, and the contract payment is generally charged 10%-20% in advance. An Feng can give half of it at one time, so it is naturally for the purpose of tax avoidance. When calculating taxes and fees, commercial investment can reasonably offset this part of the tax, totaling more than 60 million.

After the contract was signed, the construction team could work, but they were so desperate that they would not work at the Americans' Thanksgiving Day and Christmas afterwards. An Feng despised him and went to get off work from 9 to 5. The salary in the same industry was three times that of China, and he refused to work overtime.

No matter how much you complain, the contractor guarantees that one and a half years will naturally have their confidence. If it is not done well, according to the contractual provisions, they will compensate An Feng for a lot of breach of contract. They should worry about the progress of the project, not themselves. After thinking it through, they will be relaxed and wait for the upcoming holiday.

At the end of November, after more than a dozen modifications, the design team of Turku Shipyard finally completed the design of the cruise ship that both Anfeng and Joanna were satisfied with.

The Queen is similar to the two world's largest cruise ships designed by the Turku Shipyard. After all, the tonnage gap is not large. It has two rows of buildings on the left and right, with a total of 16-story decks and two spanning buildings in the front and back, which are 16 floors. In front is Suite 1, and behind is designed as a casino and an indoor swimming pool.

The middle part of the cruise ship is empty and divided into two platforms. The upper floor is about the nine-story deck, which welcomes the sun in the open air, and is designed as a luxurious shopping center and Central Park; the lower floor is about the three-story deck, mainly cinemas, theaters and indoor ice rinks.

There are many other details. An Feng is most concerned about Suite No. 1 on the top floor of the front deck. It will span two rows of buildings on the left and right, with an uplifting and forward streamlined shape. It is located at a high place, with the best view, and can overlook the sea; the design of the two rows of buildings can also overlook the public area under your feet.

The room adopts a duplex structure, with three bedrooms on the upper floor, with an outdoor viewing deck and an open indoor balcony. You can see the exclusive swimming pool on the lower floor, and you can overlook the magnificent ocean through the floor-to-ceiling windows; the lower floor is a collection of various living areas, leisure areas, libraries, etc., for enjoyment and luxury.

Suite 1 will be the most luxurious and the best location. Its construction area is about 1,500 square meters, and Anfeng has expanded it to a large extent because the construction of this cruise ship is a gift to Joanna. The commercial nature of the cruise ship is for tax avoidance and also considers recovering operating costs.

It is equivalent to a mobile vacation palace. You may stay two or three times a year, and have a carnival trip around the Caribbean with tourists from all over the world, or travel around the world in Europe, America and even around the world. As the owner of the boat, you will enjoy the most luxurious and comfortable top-notch treatment.

There are a variety of services when traveling to the sea. In the high seas, you can go to the casino to have fun, go to the top pool to bask in the sun when you are bored, or go to the open-air theater to watch a performance, swing the golf on the top floor, do some rock climbing on the large platform of the stern, or swimmers around the spacious decks on the upper and lower floors, have a shopping carnival, and taste delicious food from all over the world... It can be said that as long as it can be done on land, it can be done here, and even better.

Finally, there is the data, which is called "Queen-Joanna", which is "Queen Joanna". It has a maximum length of 365 meters, a width of 65 meters, a water surface of 75 meters, and can accommodate 6,500 tourists and 2,000 crew members. The displacement is 230,000 tons, and it will probably cost hundreds of tons more after completion, but it cannot be less, otherwise it will not break the world record.
Chapter completed!
