It’s not for children to discuss how long it took Katilina to squat down to pick up a pen. An Feng unbuttoned a few buttons of his shirt, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue, and continued to work hard. Find the place marked just now, Lei recommended more than a dozen suitable locations for selection, which are widely distributed.

The graphene technology that is destined to be ruined should not be settled in San Francisco. Los Angeles is not suitable. Both state and local taxes are very high. Usually, the taxes on enterprises in the United States are divided into federal tax, state and local taxes. Federal taxes are unified, but the latter two are determined by each state and region, with high and low levels.

California's state taxes have been raised this year, with sales transaction tax reaching 7.5%, while the local taxes collected by every city below Los Angeles County are higher, about 10%. Of course, the scope of local tax collection is smaller. I feel that it is difficult to start a business and I will be exploited by these grandchildren at layers of layers.

Fortunately, the more taxes you pay, the more you are. No one dares to mess with a big taxpayer. Behind it is the local government, state government, local councillor, state councillor, trade union... Everyone is waiting for the company to pay taxes, donate, and pay wages to support it. Who can't fight with their parents who have food and clothing, isn't it like killing people?

So there is a saying that the guys who are engaged in finance on Wall Street were beaten to death on the street, and no one was pitiful, and maybe someone would applaud, but the bosses of those large local enterprises were killed, which would be a mess, because it involved the employment issues of tens of thousands of people. Do you dare to move?

An Feng also wants to complain about federal taxes. Among the federal tax types, corporate income tax is generally around 35%. Domestic companies are happier than the United States. In addition to zero tax rates, there is a low tax rate of 20%, and the normal tax rate is only 25%. Of course, other gray situations are not considered, offshore companies are tax evasion, etc.

An Feng searched the location recommended by Lei on the California map, and finally made a cross for California. There was no way, there were many big temples, and when a group of people were excellent, you would receive less care. He decided to change the place and aim at Texas, a city called Austin.

An Feng first heard about this city. Austin is the capital of Texas. The urban area has a population of over one million. How dare anyone call it the capital? On the contrary, the three major cities in Texas around it: Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas are much larger than it. It seems that Americans’ thinking is reverse.

However, Austin has good greening, beautiful environment, and livable cities...all look good, and tax revenue is definitely lower than that in California. The government is very enthusiastic about attracting investment, but the pace of crashing remains unabated. Around it are Dell's headquarters, Freescale Semiconductor, and Blue Giant - IBM's branch. This guy is the leader in the computer field and is the fastest in graphene chip technology.

In addition, it is more than 2,000 kilometers away from California, An Feng was a little hesitant, but when he saw the information below, he changed his attitude. Lei was very careful. In addition to the only option of office buildings, there was a second type: there were colleagues studying graphene in the local area, but they could no longer play and were ready to sell the factory and equipment.

According to the introduction, the equipment is 80% new, and it is operating well. The factory is very standard. If Anfeng wants a brand new factory and acquires equipment, it will take at least half a year. This company has already met the conditions for improvement and only needs to add some small machines, which will not take much time.

An Feng was moved. He also understood the troubles Song Wenrui had recently encountered. There are some machines and equipment with higher accuracy that cannot be bought by buying. They need to place an order and wait for several months or more. When the patience is consumed, it will come late and then start research and development.

When he was struggling, his phone rang and he picked up and answered: "Hi, Roger!"

"Hi, Bruce, are you available lately?" Roger asked.

"Yes, I'm in Los Angeles now," said An Feng.

"I have a few friends who are interested in your investment and want to do some venture capital. I wonder if you have time to come to a party the night after tomorrow? I can introduce you to each other. Well, my brother Anthony will come here, and he also wants to meet you."

"Okay, formal or informal?" An Feng agreed, took a pen and wrote down the hotel address provided by Roger on paper, and attended the night after tomorrow.

Katilina, who had recovered a little bit of strength on the sofa, got up and asked with interest: "Do you have a party to attend the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes, do you want to go?" An Feng asked her.

"certainly."

...

That night, Guli did not disappoint An Feng and actually drove a Mercedes-Benz SUV.

But... this is too big, right? Guli opened the door and got off the car, and he was only a little taller than the car. An Feng was as tall as the car. He took the document handed over by Guli, which was 140,000 yuan, which was not cheap. He looked around the car for a few times. No wonder he bought the AMG model: GL63-AMG.

Simply put, AMG is a high-performance model specially designed for Mercedes-Benz. Any model with AMG, even if the appearance looks similar, must have undergone extreme adjustments. Unlike the ordinary GL-class, this guy not only doubled its price, but also doubled its performance.

An Feng drove around and the full-size SUV was huge. Surprisingly, it was equipped with shift paddles that only sports cars needed. It accelerated for 4.9 seconds per 100 kilometers, which was the same as driving a sports car. If it weren't for its huge body reminding An Feng that this guy was an SUV, he would definitely think it was a sports car.

An Feng had nothing to say, but he was quite satisfied. Guli's tendency to choose is definitely a fighting ethnic style. He can bully people with a large body, hold the roadside and run around when traffic jams, and can compete with sports cars on the expressway, and may not be at a disadvantage. This is the legendary omnipotent.

...

The night after tomorrow, An Feng attended the party invited by Roger with a beautiful dress, wearing small dresses, jewelry, and transformed into a sexy socialite. This time it was more formal and held in a hotel. Only women can freely use their clothes to show their beauty.

Guli, who was covered in black, drove them to the hotel.

As soon as I entered, I met Miranda and Roger.

"Hi, Roger!" An Feng shook hands with him, hugged him, and it was Miranda's turn again. After letting go, he smiled and said, "Hey, beautiful Miranda!"

After finishing his politeness, Roger said to him: "Come, take you to meet friends."

Roger pulled him to introduce a few friends. Obviously, Roger's circle of friends is relatively young, and being rich is an important point. Based on the starting point of enlarging the social circle, An Feng shook hands with them one by one, handed them business cards, chatted... After a round, Roger solemnly introduced a friend.

"This is George, a venture capitalist, that is, he has a strong interest in your plan," Roger introduced him.

"Hello!" George stretched out his hand to Anfeng.

"I'm glad to know you, George." An Feng shook hands with him. George was tall and looked less than thirty years old. According to American aesthetics, he should be a handsome and handsome man. God is unfair, rich and handsome. I wish such a person would not be raised - except himself.

George did not feel the darkness of An Feng, and he said: "I am very interested in graphene. I heard that you need to develop vigorously. Maybe the spring of carbon technology is coming."

An Feng said: "Some progress has been made, and there is no difficulty in R&D. The focus is on mass production."

George was surprised by An Feng's confidence. He said the truth: "Your confidence is really strong. As long as energy is produced, it will be enough to cause a big earthquake in the technology world."

An Feng smiled and said, "People's ideals must always be far away. Maybe the pace will not stop there in the future?"

"Yes, I agree with this." George nodded.

After chatting for a while, the disappeared Roger reappeared again. He was surrounded by a man who looked similar to him but was older. As soon as he met, the other party enthusiastically opened his hands and hugged An Feng: "Hey, Bruce! Long time no see, how are you doing recently?"

"Very good, Anthony, where are you?" An Feng said.

"Great!" Anthony introduced his female companion next to him with a smile, "This is my fiancée Selena."

"Hello, Bruce!" Selena shook hands with him.

"We're going to get married next Sunday," Anthony said.

"Congratulations!" An Feng congratulated.

After a few greetings with them, Anthony sent an invitation: "George, Bruce, are you interested in attending my wedding in Texas?"
