Seeing the highlight of the auction, Roger explained in order to take care of the differences in culture between the two countries: "Charity auctions and other forms of fundraising are the same process. One party or the government comes forward to hold a meal, and everyone eats and drinks. Some political transactions are often reached at this time. As for the auction, if you don't have something you particularly like, you can buy your own gift items back."

"Buy your own? Isn't it boring to go around it all over?"

Roger smiled: "It's not what you think. Even if the auction items are ordinary, they will be sold at high prices."

An Feng has long seen that these rich people are really smooth to play with. They send some worthless auction items and then buy them back at a price of several times or more than ten times higher. They send the checks and get their reputation back. Perhaps this will also have something to do with the organizer.

Roger continued: "Look at the organizer of the auction tonight, it is a not-known jeweler, but why are there so many celebrities here?"

"She has a background?" An Feng asked.

"Yes, her brand may not be famous, but you look at the list carefully. Tonight there is a local councillor with her the same surname as her, and a wealthy man is related to her."

Isn’t this selling dog meat under the guise of sheep? An Feng learned: “So that’s it. Your main purpose is to build relationships.”

"This is an open secret. The salary of MPs is very low and they cannot support themselves at all. The government encourages MPs to have their own stable careers or investments. Look at the MPs in those places and parliament, and even the presidents, they have many capital chains behind them, either with their own industries or with the support of consortiums. If you don't have a penny, it is difficult for a pauper to play politics. The simplest example: if you want to be elected, you have to canvass votes. If you want to canvass, you have to promote it. If you want to promote it, you need money. If you don't have money, you can't let your supporters know you, so politics is a money-burning job!"

After his brief explanation, An Feng understood that the country came secretly, and this place was a sacred play.

Roger looked around: "The auction is over. Let's take you to meet some people before the show ends."

With Roger's help, An Feng took Jenny to meet the politicians present. He basically said hello and chatted for a few words, and felt like queuing up to shake hands with the leader. However, American politicians do not pay attention to routines, have no temper towards the rich, and occasionally make some kind jokes.

I talked a few words to each other, exchanged greetings, and then shook hands with the next person. Looking at these busy politicians, it felt not easy. If you want to get support in politics, you must not only have a good background, but also have a good eloquence. It is pleasing to be able to speak eloquently on any occasion.

An Feng also handed each other business cards with a young man and chatted for a few minutes. Basically, what they talked about was sports cars, yachts, planes, or red wine, cigars and other topics without nutrition. Women talked about jewelry, cosmetics, beauty and other things.

Listening to their interests and hobbies, An Feng found that sports car luxury houses are almost standard, and more people are planning their own private yachts, or even private jets. An Feng also did some calculations and could barely afford to buy a small and medium-sized yacht with his current assets. As for private jets, it is still an ideal. A high-quality life is built on Kingsoft. There is something to say: at all levels and consumption. Money seems to be too small.

"I have to find a way to make money!" An Feng sighed. At this moment, he was just an entry-level rich man with a little money. There was still a gap between the rich man who "money is just a set of numbers", "millions a minute", and "besides, I even bought you, do you believe?"

When the meeting ended, Roger's female companion Miranda invited them: "If you have time, welcome to attend the private party the day after tomorrow. There will be more celebrities and big names, and there will be no fewer directors and investors, and the atmosphere is much easier than the current one."

Jenny looked at An Feng. She was really looking forward to this opportunity. He smiled and said, "As long as you want, I will definitely take you there."

"You're so good." Jenny kissed him and hugged his arm happily.

Roger smiled at An Feng and said, "I have time in the past few days, so we have another drink if we have the chance."

"OK."

After saying goodbye to each other, An Feng took Jenny to the Bentley waiting at the door. It was too late, so it was definitely not suitable to run another 300 kilometers, so he stayed in Los Angeles.

I spent the next few days shopping with Jenny and attended Miranda's private party. Not to mention Jenny who was surprised, even An Feng himself was a little surprised - he met a few guys who could name them at the party, and even clinked glasses and drank together, chatted for a while, and took a photo with his mobile phone.

In addition, assistant John is also very fast.

An Feng made an appointment with him to meet at a cafe in Los Angeles. The two sat down face to face. John was wearing a formal dress, black suit and white shirt, and only a tie was missing. He took out a document and handed it to An Feng: "Mr. An, these are several cooperation agreements I negotiated with Tyran Company."

An Feng flipped through the contents of the documents. There were too many projects and he had a big head. He became sleepy after watching them for a long time. He used to be a small staff member in China. If he wanted to devote his energy, he often fell down first. Put the documents together, look at John who was a little nervous, and said, "You'd better talk."

John said: "Tyran's senior executives do not want the controlling rights to be transferred to other people or companies, but I have checked their accounts in recent years. As a non-listed company, it is difficult for them to survive under the shadow of giants. The market will gradually strangle these companies without core competitiveness..."

"Sorry." An Feng interrupted him with a smile, "No need to say it is so formal, to be simple, I am more accustomed to colloquial expressions."

What the boss said is what John changed: "The performance of the other party has been declining, and he urgently needs strong competitiveness technology. The patents in your hands are promising and can save their declining situation. So after a few days of negotiations, they agreed to invest in four patents."

"Slowly, I didn't provide five patents?" An Feng asked.

"Yes, there are five, but the intellectual property rights will exceed the maximum proportion. I reduced it to four patents plus 4 million funds. You will own 70% of the shares of Tailan and become the absolute controlling shareholder. Of course, there are ways to reduce investment risks: contribute to three patents, but you only have 45% of the shares."

"Just the first item, I have confidence in myself." An Feng said. If I can't control the shares, how can I let the company promote its own technology? How can I make money?

John nodded and suddenly looked at An Feng in surprise, as if he had reminiscent of his words just now: "Sir, can I ask a question?"

"Please ask."

"Did you develop these super technologies?" John asked in disbelief. Seeing An Feng's style is like a rich child, he cannot be linked to an inventor. He thought that An Feng bought these amazing patents from others and then transferred them.

"Of course I developed it. In addition to these, I have many patent certificates." An Feng's face was calm and he felt proud.

"You are so awesome!" John sincerely admired An Feng's outfit, he looked like a rich man with no desires and no desires, but he should not behave like a person. John's image as a rich son faded and he became a technical entrepreneur like Bill Gates and Joe Gang Leader.

An Feng continued to talk to him about some details and finally finalized the first plan. Regarding time, he asked: "When will we start acquiring Tailan?"

"If you don't have any other arrangements, you can do it anytime, and the other party is ready."

"Then it's as soon as possible."

An Feng later learned that the senior executives of Tailan Company were more anxious than him. After two quarters, product sales fell sharply. Before the R&D department could launch a new product, it had been completely defeated by the new technology of a giant North American company. It invested a lot of money and zero returns. Not only did it waste time, it also exhausted funds. If this continues, it is predictable to have a deficit and bankruptcy.

The emergence of An Feng and his new technology is undoubtedly a dawn of hope in the darkness.

A day later, An Feng changed into a suit, took his lawyer, accountant and assistant to the headquarters of Tailan Company. From the outside, he was only a three-story building near the city, with not many employees. Recently, a group of people have been laid off. His arrival was like a timely help, which made the company's senior management look forward to it. This may change the future destiny. Of course, it is not ruled out that he was fired without seeing hope.

After discussing the acquisition for so long, it was the first time that the company's CEO Bray Hawke met a partner. He was not the scholar wearing glasses and literary, nor the middle-aged Asian with a big belly and a nouveau riche-looking look, but a very elegant young man.

"I am Bray Hawke, CEO of Tyran. Welcome, Mr. An!" Bray stretched out his hand to An Feng.

"Hello, Mr. Hawke." An Feng smiled and shook hands with him, and Bree led the way: "Mr. An, please! Let's go to the office to talk!"

The company's shareholders and some senior executives were sitting in the office talking, and the lawyers were also carefully reviewing the acquisition contracts one by one. However, An Feng had nothing to do. He listened to Bree's introduction to some of the history of Tyran's company, how to make a fortune, how to become famous, and how to encounter crises.

An Feng looked at Bray Hawk, with a high forehead, a big nose, a thick beard on his upper lip, and a clean chin. He had a bit of a Mexican characteristic, maybe it was a mixed race. Some English words pronunciation habits are shaking their tongues, which are probably the habit left by the native language for Spanish.

From the conversation, I learned that Bray was the founder of this company and was once the largest shareholder. He was a professional and had personally developed plant fertilizers. He had a unique vision in this field. When he saw the information and samples sent by An Feng, his first reaction was exaggeration. Is there anything so powerful? However, he kept a heart and personally studied the samples and realized that this might be a huge opportunity.

When chatting with An Feng, he focused his topic on professional technology. The facts proved that An Feng did not disappoint him. Many of the ideas were even something he had never heard of before. After listening to the teaching humbly, Hawke could tell the shareholders with confidence that being acquired was not a bad idea.

The six lawyers of both sides spent a whole morning just looking at the contract and proposed several unsatisfactory points. The negotiations were full of gunpowder, and Tailan Company went to hold a small meeting. It was suspended at noon, had lunch in the restaurant, and continued to argue in the afternoon. Finally, they signed the acquisition contract before getting off work.

Finally, the two sides shook hands and took a photo. An Feng had no intention of rectifying the company for the time being, and Bray Hawke was still the CEO. After all, he had good abilities. He was able to travel from an unknown small business to a company with a capital of 30 million US dollars. It would be impossible to rely on luck alone.

It is worth mentioning that An Feng's behavior of letting go of power because he hates trouble has calmed down the minds of the employees of the company. If the new boss takes drastic rectification, fires the CEO, and changes to another one, I am afraid that some old employees who have feelings for the company will be very resistant.
Chapter completed!
