Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant

An Feng stayed at the hunting ground for seven days. He didn't arrange many activities for himself, and spent more time focusing on Xiaobai. In Joanna's words, these few days belonged to his vacation. Xiaobai is full of curiosity about the world, so they take him on adventures to accumulate life experience.

It is not the expected physique that stands out this time, but the ability to learn. It is very smart, although it has not developed to the point where it can understand human speech, but it can learn simple instructions a few times, and it can draw inferences about the skills used in hunting. It went out hunting with An Feng and his friends, completely becoming the protagonist. Instead of hunting for prey with guns, everyone picked up binoculars to see how the tiger hunted.

It's amazing, even a circus can't train a tiger like this. When getting along with people, it is a smart and docile big cat, but it transforms itself in the wild. The indifferent and manic tiger presents two completely different sides. It sounds unbelievable, but after feeling it, you can't object.

As we left the hunt, everyone was posing for photos with the amazing tiger, who posed for the camera in star-studded fashion. There is also the mischievous appearance with the front paws on the shoulders and the mouth wide open to the head. It looks very scary, and the group photo is also very nervous. Fortunately, Xiaobai has already eaten.

An Feng went to talk to Mike about something before leaving.

During the few days of vacation, he had a phone call with the governor's secretary and the governor. It is no problem to apply for small-caliber shells, but the organizer needs to provide a plan and list the benefits, such as the promotion of the local economy and the military education of the whole people... Anyway, the government needs a face project.

Mike also talked about the revenue: "Based on the current financial statistics, we lost $300,000 at the shooting show, which is much less than the $700,000 last time. Just based on the business conditions of the two gun shops, no matter the customer Both traffic and sales have increased significantly.”

"Good job! According to this trend, next time we should break even!" An Feng's goal is simple - to be responsible for his own profits and losses.

Mike nodded: "With moderate publicity and government support, we will make this event a big one."

"Congratulations!" An Feng said.

After the arrangements were made, everyone left by car. Houston also has flights back to China, and friends from China did not go back to California with them, and Wang Le had to go to New York for Christmas, so they said goodbye to each other in Austin. An Feng made a special trip to the GP company headquarters.

The development of GP is still a miracle. Its two subsidiaries have grown substantially in four quarters. It is easy to live without rivals. If it goes well, GP Energy will be listed next year. The headquarters has increased its shareholding by 60% so far. Blood, whether it can pay back depends on the results of the listing.

The ambition of GP Electronics has also been revealed. In addition to computers for companies and enterprises, it has extended its claws to the field of microcomputers. Home PC processor products have already been released, and there are rumors that they will soon invade mobile phones and other mobile devices—the constant rumors of Nokia Just for example.

He heard reports from some assistants that the consortium has managed the business very well. Although there are competitors, the flames of commercial struggle have never stopped. They have caught three spies so far, but they are currently the ones who have the upper hand and are the ones who leaked the secrets. It never happened.

"How did you deal with it?" An Feng was even more curious about the result. It is normal to have commercial espionage if the tree is big, but maybe there are government spies as well.

Eve said: "The evidence we are going to collect is to sue them in court. If there is no conclusive evidence, Mr. Hawley said that someone else will be responsible."

"Aegis Security did a good job," An Feng said.

Eve nodded: "They are indeed very professional, but a little too strict. Some departments want to complain that they hinder the normal work of the company."

An Feng said: "Don't pay attention to these people, it's better to restrain yourself if you have leisure time, if the security work is not in place, losing secrets will be a disaster."

Eve smiled and said, "Mr. Hawley thinks so too. The discipline inspection department dismissed the complaints on the grounds that they are not our company's department."

"This guy is smart." An Feng nodded, "By the way, what happened to the new computer department? Why was it empty when I came?"

Eve said: "According to what Team Leader Song said, they don't use the research room for the time being, and they have to change floors to study again. I have overheard a few times that they seem to be studying quantum physics. In addition to company employees, they have hired some part-time teachers University professors, doctoral supervisors, etc.”

An Feng remembered that it was he who asked for it, but he didn't expect it to be so fierce. The professors all called him. It seemed that he could say hello to Holly and relax their project funds. In fact, it is already very loose. As the core R\u0026D department, basically the funds are less than one million yuan, and the application must be approved.

An Feng went to see the "classroom" of the experts. He was very low-key and didn't disturb others. He listened for ten minutes. At present, quantum theory has reached a deep level, but whether it is quantum communication or quantum computer, the most important thing is Technology rather than deep theory.

Knowing that the situation is good, An Feng also fulfilled his duty of coming at least three times a year.

...

Back in warm California, Christmas is approaching.

Just when An Feng was preparing to celebrate Christmas with Joanna's family this year, news came from the UK. It was an important email sent by Symonds, which contained the New Year's Honors list announced by the Queen of England, which was less than in previous years. There are hundreds of outstanding people. But Joanna was on the list.

This speed is unexpected. An Feng originally thought it would be in the second half of the year... He browsed the content carefully. This list is a draft and has not yet been announced. Only this type of Medal of Honor is issued most frequently.

Joanna's name was easy to find because she came first.

There is also a reason for her to be in the front, because the level awarded is high. The Order of the British Empire is divided into five levels, namely: Knight-level Grand Cross (GBE); Knight-level Commander (Male KBE/Female DBE), the focus is on These two, of course, there will be three levels of CBE, OBE, and MBE in the future.

Among the five levels of the medal, only the first two levels can be considered knighthood, and the title of "Sir/Dame" can be added before their English names. Naturally, the number of awards it can be awarded is very small, as far as the highest GBE is concerned, there are about two to three awards each year.

Those awarded GBEs were all very important figures, or simply members of the royal family. Joanna was awarded the second level of DBEs. The number was not as small as GBEs, but it was extremely rare. According to rumors, it is much less difficult for women to obtain the Order of Commander-in-Chief than men.

Except that the winners of these two levels can be called "Jazz/Dame", the others are only honors. It happens that the number of the latter three levels is the largest. It is said that there is no limit to the number of MBE, but it can be increased by one year at most. More than a thousand. Its wide coverage can be seen.

An Feng didn't know much about it at the beginning. He thought that those who were honored were regarded as knights, but after Joanna revealed the truth, those people who were honored every year, including artists, singers, actors, etc., were all the latter three. level, there will be no intersection with the previous two levels.

When Joanna returned with the Sassen family in the afternoon, he announced the good news.

"My dear, it looks like we'll have to spend our New Years in England."

"Why?" Joanna asked puzzled.

An Feng smiled and said: "According to my latest news, you are sure to be awarded a medal, and you have to go to England to participate in the award ceremony after the New Year."

"Is this true?" Joanna was surprised, because there was no news for a long time, and they all thought that the arrangement would be next year.

An Feng nodded: "The news Symonds gave me is indeed like this."

"What level is it?" Joanna asked.

An Feng said: "Of course it is possible to add a title before your name."

"DBE?" Joanna guessed, but she was sure in her heart, because besides it, there was only GBE, but this was almost unnecessary.

"That's right!"

"Great!" She happily came over to hug him, "The news came so suddenly!"

"But it's a complete surprise, isn't it?" An Feng smiled and let her go.

Kelly also said in surprise: "Congratulations, Joanna! I didn't expect you to receive such a high honor, and we will all be proud of you!"

Frank said: "Our family will always support you!"

Only Andy was puzzled: "What is this?"

Frank bowed his head and said to him, "We won't be here this Christmas, how about going to Europe?"

"Yeah!" Andy jumped three feet high, "I like vacations! My luxurious sea view room, basking in the sun and drinking coconut juice!"

Joanna said, "Maybe we're going to go skiing this year?"

Andy also nodded: "I can barely think about it...It must be a wonderful thing to be able to breathe the air outside! Joanna, I love you!"

"Me too! Little guy!" Joanna pinched his fat face.

The honors will be awarded after the New Year, but the time has not been determined yet, maybe in January and February. Considering that DBE is more important, it should be in the front, probably in January. Referring to the last time Bazel was made a baronet, he was alone and at the top of the line.

There will be an announcement in a few days, and now all they need to think about is vacation arrangements.

Of course, the plan to spend Christmas in the United States had to be cancelled. According to the democratic vote, all five people agreed that Christmas should be easy, and the most important thing is to go to play... A family who loves traveling can't afford to be hurt. An Feng said that he can go anywhere, and this time he is responsible for the whole cost.

After some discussion, there is no need to go to England so early and wait, you can go to some other places first, and Andy recommends a sunny beach, Kelly hopes it is quiet, and Frank suggests skiing, An Feng likes to have many For VIP service, Joanna only asks to be on time.

An Feng glanced across everyone's faces: "It seems that we have great differences."

Frank said: "Take a compromise, take into account the most."

Finally, everyone thought about it and decided to go to Switzerland!

First of all, Switzerland must be very quiet, with blue sky and white clouds and a quiet world. An Feng has long wanted to go to that land favored by God to live for a few days, which is also in line with Kelly's idea; secondly, Switzerland is definitely able to ski, and it will be more lively when Christmas is approaching; In the end, the VIP service that Anfeng hopes for is naturally available in developed countries.

Joanna's punctuality is not considered at all - because it is inevitable.

Choosing Switzerland is in the interests of most people - except for the bear children. After An Feng promised to take him to the private island to enjoy the sea breeze and swim in the future, he agreed with the idea with both hands, and said that he actually likes quietness, skiing and punctuality the most... Look at this fickle little traitor!
