The two had a fight until evening, and An Feng was punished to drink a lot of alcohol until he left, and the sweat from his body was smelling alcohol. In order to drive safely, the lady who once untied her seat belt and stood up from the passenger seat to have fun now also pays attention to safety: "Get the keys, I'll drive!"

"Give it to you." An Feng handed her the key.

"Let's go." Joanna strolled in a gauze skirt and walked along the beach with his hand.

In the evening, walking in the sunset makes you feel a different feeling. On one side are the rows of buildings on the mountain, and on the other side are the endless sea and sky. The small town is beautiful and the weather is also very considerate. The sunset dyes a few white clouds in the sky red, with different shapes, which are very beautiful.

"It's so beautiful!" Joanna said sincerely.

An Feng turned his head, and the orange-red light shone on her body. His face, with her frown and smile, was no worse than the colorful clouds in the sky. He couldn't help but pull her to her, lowered his head and kissed her soft lips, sucked gently, and the setting sun cast a long shadow behind them.

After a long time, An Feng hugged her and said sweetly: "Love you, Joanna."

"So too," she said.

An Feng smiled slightly, without saying anything, he clasped her with his fingers and slowly walked along the path away from the beach.

...

The architecture of St. Ives is a bit of a southern European style, as if it were in a small Mediterranean town, if it weren't for the language used by pedestrians and shops to remind them. In addition, it is also a "mountain city" with great fluctuations. The roads are similar to San Francisco, but San Francisco is prosperous and peaceful.

Driving in a crowded street, passing through the buildings with rich history, looking for local food and desserts, it is fun. Occasionally, I stop and walk with Joanna in a lively market. Feel the wonderful and colorful life in the small town.

The good times pass quickly, and it feels that the small city makes people feel more comfortable. In a place where no one knows them, it is quite interesting to change their lifestyle occasionally. On the fourth day, they return and the auction in London is about to begin. They go back one day in advance and take part in it after they have enough energy.

The next day, An Feng went to the meeting in a low-key manner.

This is a small auction, focusing on classic British models, including Aston Martin's classic cars, Rolls-Royce classics, and Lotus racing cars, but the biggest highlight is the McLaren F1. Of course, even in other types of auctions, legends cannot be ignored.

In An Feng's mind, there are very few sports cars that can be called "legends". Ferrari's 250gt is on the list, and the F40 is also counted as the Porsche 959 back then. The Lamborghini countach that made Ferrari ashamed, and McLaren's amazing work, the naturally aspirated peak model F1.

McLaren's F1 model was first released in 1992, and the 1993 model could run at an extreme speed of more than 375 kilometers. It then set a world record with 386 kilometers until 2005. Its super record was not broken by Bugatti and Koenigsegg, which shows how domineering it was back then.

The most valuable one is the LM model. Its estimated price was over $10 million a few years ago, and it has only increased now. It is estimated that in a few decades, it will hope to reach the height of Ferrari 250gto. The auction is not the top one now, but the 1994 F1-XP5 model.

The starting price is 2.2 million pounds, which is about 3.75 million US dollars. It is much more expensive than any model purchased before Anfeng, but it has a very collectible value and is more profitable than hoarding houses. If someone smashes it like Mr. Bean, collectors will open champagne to celebrate.

(Roven Atkinson crashed his f1 twice...)

At the beginning of the auction, there were only some British sports cars. An Feng had seen the list, which was not in line with his aesthetic sense. Even the two Rolls-Royce classic cars were not very attractive. This time, he came completely based on McLaren. During the auction, he flipped through some pictures of sports cars and enjoyed it.

Finally, it was the auction of the heaviest model.

There is a 58-year-old Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud in front of it, unfortunately failed to sell because the starting price is too high. The f1 that An Feng likes is pushed up. He prayed in his heart that the bidder would give up if it was too high... Unfortunately, the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny, and there are many bidders.

The price also rose all the way. An Feng used his mobile phone to convert it into US dollars, from 3.8 million to 3.9 million, and then broke through 4 million US dollars. Everyone knows its rareness and rareness. Generally, it is private transactions and rarely participates in the auction process. This time it was unexpectedly pushed to the front desk.

The price could not stop An Feng, who is now rich in wealth, and when the final bid was slowed down, he began to hit the highest price. After a time of one or two, this indifferent and in-depth attitude made others defeated one after another, and finally bought it for 2.48 million pounds, or 4.25 million US dollars.

This black rare item officially belongs to him.

After the auction, he went to see the car. Although it had been more than 20 years, its shape still meets the aesthetic standards of modern sports cars. The 6.1-liter V12 engine is placed in the rear (center), four-out exhaust pipes, and a butterfly-type door that flips upwards...

The most worth mentioning is that it dares to call it "f1" because it uses f1 technology and imitates the style of Formula One. Therefore, its driver's seat adopts a middle-mounted approach. The three seats are distributed in a font shape, and one of the driver's left and right hands is very special... It is estimated that the crawling posture is also very special.

After enjoying it, An Feng arranged for someone to take the car to the parking lot of his apartment building in London.

It was going to be airlifted back to the United States, but now there is something to do in London. After getting rid of rare things, he began to care about the progress of Hope Goodridge's work. It was not difficult to register a company in the UK, and if there was an intermediary, the speed would be faster. It took a few days before Hope's news came.

The first one to be established was the foundation, with a registered address located in an office building in the center of London with an area of ​​more than 200 square meters. An Feng initially planned to be a little more high-profile. Thinking about it later, the charity foundation is not its own office location anyway, so there is no need to be so luxurious.

After the address is settled, as for the recruitment of practitioners, Hope will leave it to him. For non-profit companies of this kind of charitable nature, there is no need to worry about people doing things randomly, because the government is more concerned about its accounting situation than the management - those with annual profits exceeding 500,000 pounds are all key targets.

So give Joanna the title of chairman and invest some pounds every year, part of it is used to do charity and part of it is used to invest in business - even a charitable foundation needs to maintain its own operation. Of course, its funds enjoy lower taxes, even zero tax rates.

Some European and American countries support charity, the most obvious thing is in terms of taxation. Taking the United States as an example, there is no need to pay tax on the money donated to charity organizations. The business scope of charity funds is not just charity, it can also have its own business methods, investment and business, etc.

To put it bluntly, charitable funds are tax avoidance places for the rich. The rich donate their property and avoid 40% or even higher inheritance taxes. Although they and their descendants can't "use" charitable funds or their profitable money, the power of how to use "money" is in their hands.

So they invested the foundation's money in a certain company in business, and then developed it into a controlling stake. As managers, they have the right to appoint and remove the company's board members, select suitable supervisors, etc. The foundation's profits do not belong to them, but the company is under their control.

In this way, inheritance tax is completely avoided, and descendants can also use the power brought by this pile of money. The more money the descendants have, even if they have wealth that is as rich as the country, their wealth on the surface is only more than one billion... So some super rich people are so "invisible".

An Feng does not have such a big plan for the time being. After all, he is still young and has a lot of money to spend. He has not yet considered inheritance tax. The starting point of his work is to be honest. If the royal family dares to clearly mark the price and say that the baron needs 10 million, he will transfer the money immediately. Unfortunately, the matter is very complicated, and everything he does must have a name... If you can't hurry up, it can be considered as doing good things to accumulate some virtue for yourself.

At present, Hope has recruited several employees, and everyone held a low-key establishment ceremony together. The foundation named Joanna was officially established... An Feng felt that doing things under the name of charity was a bit disgusting, but if you think about it carefully, how many people in the world are purely doing good deeds?

At least he has never seen him, while doing good deeds, giving himself some benefits, so that he can meet the long-term development standards. But Joanna is keen on this. She has made some small plans to focus on the rights of children and women she hopes for.

Afterwards, An Feng came up with an idea: invest 4 million pounds of capital in the foundation, and then use half of it to invest in the upcoming machine company, and control 60% of the shares. If Americans show off their exoskeleton technology in the future and countries are in a tense situation, what does charity do?

In the past, it was given out for nothing, but now it is a machine company controlled by the foundation to donate technology to the country, which seems to be able to make a lot of benefits. But the foundation that has made such a great contribution, and Mrs. An, who is the founder of the foundation and the largest donor, will at least be rewarded with a medal?

It is no exaggeration to give a baron. Although the exoskeleton can only be used for soldiers, modern warfare is invisible to the opponent's attacks, the power of individual soldiers cannot be ignored - so it is related to the future of the country. Even An Feng thinks that it is feasible to be a hereditary countess!
