For the future

After reaching a preliminary agreement with Matthew, An Feng put the empty wine glass back on the waiter's plate, looked up and saw Joanna in the crowd looking at him, and walked towards her. She also greeted her, took An Feng's hand, and walked towards the stairs: "Let's go, it's boring to stay here."

  The two of them quietly came to the second floor. There was a living room on the west side that was much smaller than the first floor, and she let her pull them through the living room to the carefully crafted balcony.

  Joanna put her hands on the edge of the balcony and looked up at the night sky: "What a beautiful night!"

   "Well, it's so beautiful." An Feng looked at her, his eyes full of appreciation for beautiful things.

  Joanna turned her head, saw him staring at her, and smiled softly: "What are you looking at?"

   "You are so beautiful, I can't even think of an adjective." An Feng said honestly.

   "Really?" She turned around, An Feng hugged her waist, and leaned her back on the stone handrail of the balcony. The two looked at each other closely.

   "Really, being able to have you is the luckiest thing in my life." An Feng said, and couldn't help but kiss her, delicate and smooth, with endless aftertaste.

  The wet kiss was over, and Joanna leaned into his arms, muttering to herself, "I hope what you said was a promise."

   "Of course it's true." An Feng had good ears and touched her bare back: "It's the first time I've seen you dressed so grandly that people can't take their eyes off."

   "Nonsense, you haven't looked at me for a while." Joanna said.

  An Feng explained with a smile: "It was a choice between 'temporary' and 'long-term'. For the future, I chose the latter, although I have always regretted not staring at you."

   "It's so sweet." She smiled.

  An Feng said: "I swear it's true. I was negotiating business with a businessman who sneaked in for no reason just now, saving money for our future. Well, there is also money for the children's milk powder."

  Joanna smiled again: "You think a lot, and you have considered the children. But it sounds touching, you are a caring boyfriend."

   An Feng cupped her face with one hand: "Don't you want this?"

   "Of course I hope, I hope we can be together forever." Joanna looked at him seriously.

   "Yes, I will," he said.

  An Feng felt that Joanna was his destination. He had never met a woman who made him feel like her. The longer he spent with her, the more tempted he became. So he began to plan for the future, brought by his innate parents, he cannot change, but has the ability to change the acquired, he does not have blue blood in his body, nor is he a knight, but he has the ability to let Joanna enjoy the most beautiful life in the world noble life.

  Money cannot represent everything, but money can buy almost everything. He is nostalgic for the tenderness of his lover, and he is even more eager to create a better future. The next day, he called his assistant, John, to discuss with Matthew in Los Angeles. The weather outside the hotel was as hot as ever, and the air conditioner in the room was almost non-stop.

  Matthew looked at the newspaper and said: "The drought in the west is severe today, and the production of many crops has decreased, but the use of Tyran fertilizer has shown a trend of prosperity."

   "As expected." An Feng crossed his legs.

   "Look at the reports here, they directly describe it as 'black technology'!" Matthew handed the newspaper to An Feng.

An Feng took the newspaper, glanced at the headline in large print, "Subverting Tradition! Tyran's World-Changing Black Technology?" and then browsed the content. There were both praises and suspicions, and some gossip. These technologies are of great interest. An Feng worried: "The government won't take care of it?"

"The United States is a capitalist society. Private property is sacred and inviolable. The government has no right to control the inventions and creations of the people. At most, it is just a curiosity. Maybe there will be local government purchases. I think you might as well develop the business honestly and let the family take the shares. Part of it, isn't it good to make a lot of money slowly?"

  An Feng shook his head: "I prefer a large sum of money."

"Respect your opinion." Matthew said, she glanced at John, "Okay, let's discuss the details next, and then there will be a negotiation team of more than 100 people and a lawyer team of 50 people for us service, and a security company to provide back-up support at all times."

   "Security company?" An Feng thought it was exaggerated.

Matthew smiled: "In order to satisfy the partner, otherwise you will be unhappy and deduct several hundred million from me, and I will lose a lot. Let alone a security company, I can find you a PMC if necessary. If In Africa, they can lead a small war."

  An Feng had nothing to say, and all the mercenaries came out.

   The process of negotiating with Matthew was very pleasant, because this is a big deal that benefits both parties.

  The business negotiations are expected to last for one or two months. Matthew took the initiative to ask An Feng to send a special person to participate in the negotiations to gain insight into all the processes. An Feng sent the clever John to participate in the negotiation, but the contract was black and white, and he was the one to sign it in the end. It didn't matter whether he participated or not. The appointment of John was just to make it easier for him to understand the progress.

Matthew's plan is to actively contact industry giants, not only Mosaic, but also the world's largest Canadian potash fertilizer company, a Russian fertilizer giant, and investment groups that have little connection with chemical fertilizers... all of them will send out invitations. He calls this "proactive attack" , to maximize the benefits, for the sake of money, he can sell anything, even the Chinese and Russian governments are interested in contacting him.

In addition, An Feng also specially held a shareholder meeting to inform the shareholders of the decision to transfer hands. means to sell. Even CEO Bray Hawke can accept this result. After so many years of working abroad, it would be a good thing to go back to retire with hundreds of millions of dollars one day.

  However, An Feng considered one thing.

He specially reminded Matthew that if a company thinks that it has acquired 30% of the shareholders and only buys 21% of itself, sorry, no matter whether it is 51% or 21%, the price will not budge. Mostly it is to offset a part, but the bottom line of 10 billion cannot be lowered.

  Matthew reassured him that these matters will be considered by the negotiating team in dozens of situations.

  An Feng also felt that he was overthinking. They are a professional negotiating team, how could they fail to consider these things, let alone 30%, even if it is 49%, if you want to make further progress, you have to pay a price above the bottom line. The final result is naturally nothing to worry about, just waiting to get the money.

It took two days to deal with the transfer of shares in Tailan, and then invested in the project of the Jean and Tima Research Center, the purpose of which is the research of cancer cells. Mrs. Sinclair is his big backer. When it is not strong, the backer will burp.

As the big boss, I checked the research work. According to Mike Case's report, the progress is good, and a small breakthrough has been made. The use of physical therapy to kill cancer cells has a high probability of success, but the damage to the body is also great. They plan to first Overcome physical therapy, then it's chemotherapy's turn.

  The speed is not bad. According to the forecast, it should be able to go further by the end of the year. The current progress is exciting. An Feng returned to the office and listened to Joseph Hart's report, and decided to allocate another five million to the research center. He also called Sinclair's assistant and asked her if she would consider additional funding.

The result is affirmative, especially knowing that these funds are used to research and develop cancer cells, and they promised to spare no effort, and the agreement was completed a day later. The sum of money is enough to spend a long time.

When An Feng returned to SLO, it was already mid-June. Joanna specially organized a party for him to celebrate the year of immigration. Looking back on the bits and pieces encountered this year, it didn't feel like a year, but several years. years. He has also developed from a small rich man with a dream of man-made diamonds to the present.

  However, the ultimate dream of benefiting mankind that he is most concerned about has not yet been realized. The steps of man-made diamonds are not difficult, but there are no sufficiently advanced machines.

   But the machine thing, after you have money, sooner or later.

  It was a while of emotion, but the most proud thing is that I met the right other half. The two are like glue, but respecting Joanna's beliefs, they still haven't broken the bottom line. But An Feng still feels very happy, true love is not all about sex, of course it is also indispensable. He was waiting for the opportunity to get down on one knee.
