Chapter 51 New York Night
On the left is Wendy, and on the right is Zhang Manyu. The two beauties were wearing expensive evening gowns. They walked into the gate of the "Hyatt Hotel" holding An Yifei's arm.

The young and handsome Zanpu surprised An Yifei, because his appearance was too different from the impression given by later generations.

"Hey, Ann. It seems that the description of you as a Chinese businessman is not accurate. I have the illusion of seeing a nobleman. You are much more handsome than you look in the photo." Yifei said hello.

After An Yifei kissed Mrs. Zamp's hand politely, he smiled and replied in pure and fluent English: "Come on, Zamp, although you look like an old friend of mine, you have Politician-like hypocrisy. I know you're just as merciless a businessman as I am"

Americans like straightforward tunes, not only Zamp, but even the people around him laughed.An Yifei's outstanding appearance and temperament quickly attracted the favor of these New York dignitaries.

Although they were not used to such occasions, Wendy and Zhang Manyu could form a small group, and they didn't feel isolated. On the contrary, the two beauties attracted some men who thought they were romantic and suave.

The United States is a federation of many countries. The mayor of New York City is now veiledly criticizing An Yifei for setting up an offshore company. However, there are many wealthy Americans doing this. He just reminds An Yifei not to go too far.

"Ann, you know, your naturalization application was approved after lying on my desk for less than 5 minutes. We understand your concerns, but New York needs elites like you and expects you to increase your experience here. Investment. In fact, since your naturalization is here, you are already a New Yorker”

"Mr. Mayor, I will consider investing in some projects. I also understand that it is the most difficult time in New York, but I am a businessman, and it is the nature of a businessman to pursue more profits, isn't it?"

Around 1980, New York entered a period of stagnation, and a large amount of capital began to flow out. Rich people like An Yifei who moved against the current were of course very popular.

Zanpu on the stage was giving an impromptu speech, but An Yifei knew that this guy had actually entered the first financial crisis. Fortunately, from now until 90, there will still be nearly ten years of good real estate.But An Yifei will not cooperate with this guy, because the other party's desire to control is too strong, and he also has the personality of being in control of everything.

Sure enough, after the reception began, Zanpu turned a corner and asked An Yifei if he was interested in taking a stake in *** Building, but he politely declined.An Yifei thought to himself: "You take your name as the name of the building, so what is my investment? I will buy a building alone when the crude oil futures return, but not now"

Another purpose of this kind of reception is a party gathering, even if An Yifei is unwilling, but since he came to the banquet, he has been branded as a Republican.

A guy in a suit walked over leisurely, "Mr. Ann? I'm Jonathan Michael, a member of Mr. Reagan's election team. You can call me George."

As soon as An Yifei was mentioned by him, he vaguely remembered that this was the Secretary of State a few years later, because he had seen it on TV before.It's just that the one in front of him looks young.

"Hello, Mr. Jonathan. It's an honor to meet you." An Yifei once again put on his aristocratic smile.

Glancing at Zhang Manyu and Wendy who consciously stayed away, Jonathan nodded and smiled, "Ann, although you are not a member of the Republican Party yet, if you can provide some help for Reagan's campaign, many things will be easier in the future."

Of course An Yifei understands what the so-called "help" is, money.The expenses during the US general election are considerable, and the money comes from the consortia or rich people behind them.Knowing the course of history, he certainly wanted to make a bet.

"No problem, Mr. Jonathan. I am willing to help a gentleman, and at the same time, I am happy to be your running partner." An Yifei's hint is obvious, meaning to provide assistance to Jonathan, and through him to provide assistance to Reagan solicit donations.

After finishing speaking, An Yifei called Wendy over, and after introducing both parties, "Wendy, if there is any need for Mr. Jonathan in the future, we will help you as much as you can."

Due to the ubiquitous FBI and public opinion supervision, the amount of so-called donations will not be very large, at most hundreds of thousands of dollars.But a steady stream of donors is the backing of a team, and a steady stream of donors is like bread and butter for many politicians.A rich man like An Yifei has unlimited potential, even within the same political party, there will be competition for his support.Therefore, Jonathan is very satisfied with the results achieved.

Wendy is not a rookie anymore. Although she is a Democrat, she can just follow her boss's arrangement.Moreover, the amount of such political donations will not be large, and will not adversely affect operations.

When Jonathan was far away, An Yifei, who felt the air was oppressive, walked to the balcony, and then saw Zhang Manyu was here, holding a glass of red wine, her back was extremely beautiful, supported by the neon lights in the distance, like an elf in the dark night.The girl who felt him turned her head, showing a pure smile, her eyes flowing like autumn water, full of friendship.

"Feige, I want to go to Wisconsin and go to Harley's production site to order a motorcycle of my own. For motorcycle enthusiasts like me, this is like a salvation, a call that I can't resist"

"Okay, if it doesn't work, I'll buy two and put one in New York. The other one will be consigned back to Hong Kong. There should be enough money in the card I gave you. I'm going to California for business, so I may not be able to accompany you there."

"Well, Brother Fei, you are so kind to me." Zhang Manyu's parents have been very strict with her since she was a child, so she felt An Yifei's pampering and pampering, and was very moved. She took the initiative to lean into his arms and hugged her And kiss.

Wendy in the room turned around and shrugged her shoulders. After politely rejecting a man's invitation to dance, she raised her glass and took a sip, "Damn it, I'm such a beautiful woman, why can't you see it? "

After staying in New York for a week, An Yifei not only completed the process of naturalization and obtained a driver's license, but also participated in several Republican gatherings and chose the camp he would join in the United States.In the past few days, he has unnoticedly visited Brown Brothers, whose capital will be broken in the next year. Although the building in their hands is not as tall as the later Zamp Building, it covers an area of But it's much bigger and in a great location.

Again, buying real estate in New York in the early 80s was a real bargain.After a few decades, the real estate prices here will increase countless times, and even the rent is astonishing.Moreover, the Brown Building, which was up for sale, was sold at a very low price in the 80s, which is also a portrayal of New York's economic downturn in this era.

Since he planned to spend a lot of time in the United States, An Yifei instead used the phone to direct the affairs of Hong Kong. In fact, there was almost nothing for him to worry about.Today's movies and TV shows are the time period for young shoots to grow collectively. It is not a good choice to use golden fingers to pull seedlings and encourage growth.

Therefore, in the ups and downs of the original rhythm, a large number of directors and actors have grown up.The only difference is that An Yifei has insured his company. Once he gets into a difficult situation, he will shoot a movie or TV series that exceeds the time limit.For example, "My Sassy Girlfriend" in the movie and "Rou Fu Di Ji" broadcast on TV have been extremely welcomed by Hong Kong citizens.

The first thing An Yifei found was of course Apple, which was not yet listed, and was founded by Jobs and other two partners.

"Yes, sir. We do need money, but it is impossible for you to invest 2000 million US dollars to take away 40.00% of the shares." Jobs rejected An Yifei's proposal without consideration.Because if he and his friend Woz own half of the shares, after dividing the remaining 60.00% in half, he only occupies 30.00%, of course he is not satisfied.

"300 million, this is Apple's best opportunity, think about it. Don't worry." To be honest, An Yifei is not very optimistic about Apple's future for more than ten years, until the appearance of Ai Crazy IV changed everything.He wants to take the lead, but also to redesign the company's future.Speaking of which, Apple is not as troublesome as Dell, which was born a few years later. You must know that An Yifei is a person who doesn't like trouble very much.

Jobs’ hesitation made An Yifei stand up. The main purpose of his trip was George Lucas’s special effects studio, not Apple. In fact, the best time to invest in Apple was around 1990, before Jobs returned to Apple again. , not now.So after hearing the rejection from the other party again, he has no regrets, because he knows how chaotic Apple will be in the next few years.It is not as reassuring as Microsoft, Dell, etc.

Jobs thought that the other party was just showing off, but he didn't expect that he really walked away, and he regretted it.With that funding, he's sure the R&D could be accelerated.

If An Yifei, who drove away, knew what he was thinking, he would persuade him to fire the so-called scientific researcher Lisa. The so-called Lisa programming scientific research fee that appeared a few years later was horribly high, and all of it went into that Lisa's pockets, and the result is that Apple computers with that system are not only ridiculously expensive but also extremely unusable.

Leaving Apple behind for the time being, An Yifei put it on the blacklist from the bottom of his heart. He would not consider investing in it until ten years at most. His eyes are gone.

The United States is a country of cars. After An Yifei flew from New York to San Francisco, he bought a 67 Ford Mustang very smoothly. After he came out of Apple, he went straight to the key goal of this trip to the United States: industrial light. magic company.

As a matter of fact, this small company, which is mainly based on computer special effects, is also located in Silicon Valley. On the road, An Yifei saw Fairchild Company, which will be forced to close down due to the solution leakage incident next year and be dismembered. Slow down, he Drooling and staring at the neat processor production plant and the beautiful greenery in the factory area.

Of course he knew how suspicious the so-called solution leak was, but it was none of his business.All he has to do is to take part of the funds earned from crude oil futures and get a share of the "big meal".
