Chapter 1393 Upgrade

"Following?" Feng Yiping was not nervous. He immediately thought of Hastings. Could it be that this guy is now a billionaire and is obsessed with being a paparazzi!

"It doesn't matter. I know who it is," he said confidently.

"It's not that person," Owen was not as relaxed as Feng Yiping. He looked at the car behind him and stopped by the side. He was sure that his judgment just now was correct. This was indeed following.

He immediately picked up the phone and called, "We are..." He was calling someone.

Not that person? Feng Yiping turned his head in surprise and took a look through the rear window. Although he couldn't see it clearly, he was very sure that the person was definitely not Hastings.

The car was not Hastings' Ferrari or other luxury cars, but a Honda SUV. The driver's appearance could not be seen clearly, but the bald chin strongly proved Owen's point of view that it was indeed not Hastings.

Because it is very certain that even at the end of the world, Hastings will not shave off the goatee on his chin.

Feng Yiping suddenly became nervous. Damn, this is America!

Outside the car window, the dark bushes under the dim street lights, the few cars passing by on the road, and the big tree with lush branches and leaves in front of him, all looked scary to him now.

Are there people waiting behind the bushes and on the trees? Among the cars passing by on the road, will there be another car blocking the road, and another car coming over, and then a few guys wearing black hoods and holding guns will come down from it?

Just when he combined the plots in many Hollywood movies together, and felt that the air was about to solidify, and all dark places were hidden with danger, he heard a light "click" sound - that was the sound of a bullet being loaded.

Looking again, Owen was putting a box back into the glove box, and there was a dark thing on the passenger seat.

Although California is also ahead in terms of public guns, like other aspects, carrying a gun is a very particular thing even in California.

For example, the most basic principle is that the gun and the bullet are separated. Do we have to load the bullets now?

Because Owen introduced it several times, Feng Yiping knew that thing. It was the M9A1 launched by the Italian Beretta company last year. It was a modified version of the M9 he used before - the gun of many US troops.

Feng Yiping immediately lowered his head a little. Is it really necessary?

"We stop, and he stops too. This shouldn't be..."

Before Feng Yiping finished speaking, Owen followed up with a sentence, "Just in case,"

Yes, there shouldn't be such a stupid guy. If they really have that idea, after their car stopped, they would either drive away as if nothing had happened and continue to wait in front.

Or they would force it over and confront it. It is definitely a very amateurish way to stop like this from a long distance.

But who can say for sure?

"Let's not move first. There will be a car coming soon."

It is really not easy to move now. A few blocks away is Ma Ling's house. No matter what, we must not take this person hanging behind there.

The situation was deadlocked for a while. Two vehicles, without turning on the lights but with their engines still running, parked on the roadside one after the other.

In less than five minutes, two SUVs and a van arrived.

It was exactly the pattern Feng Yiping had imagined just now. The van was blocking the front, and the two SUVs approached from the side and the back.

"Let's go," Owen said softly, as the van blocked the view of the car behind. The Range Rover slid lightly and quietly.

To be on the safe side, they deliberately circled the house before entering the door. After making sure that no one was following them, they hurried into Ma Ling's yard.

…………

Vincent was really delighted by Feng Yiping's sudden appearance, and he didn't want to let go of his hand.

"Dad will have dinner with you tonight, and then he has to go to work. Can I come to accompany you tomorrow?" Feng Yiping was trying to get his permission.

"You have to read me a bedtime story," the little guy didn't make a fuss, but he also knew how to negotiate conditions.

"No problem,"

At this time, Owen hurried in, "Feng, that's a paparazzi guy," he looked a little amused.

"Paparazzi?" Feng Yiping was really shocked. I'm not a Hollywood star, why are you following me?

Owen obviously saw his doubts and explained, "Many people are very interested in the rich people in Silicon Valley."

This is indeed true. Well-known figures in Silicon Valley have been secretly photographed and followed by paparazzi, such as Page and Brin of Google, and later Zuckerberg.

The previous relationship between Page and Mayer was disclosed by a paparazzi, and Brin's later extramarital affair was also revealed by paparazzi.

Later, Silicon Valley even had a gossip website dedicated to disclosing gossip about CEOs of Silicon Valley companies to meet everyone's needs.

In fact, strictly speaking, many people are not only interested in the rich in Silicon Valley, but they are very interested in all the rich, or in other words, the rich who no one is interested in are not really rich.

In the United States, where business is supreme, this has spawned many business opportunities and created many rare and precious results.

For example, a paparazzi took a photo of Bill Gates in his mansion. He was wearing only shorts, listening to music and dancing. He was really letting himself go and was having a great time.

The key point is that the device he used to listen to music was Apple's iPod - everyone knows that the world's richest man has said that no Apple products are allowed in his home.

I don't know how the paparazzi took the photo, but it is estimated that Gates probably upgraded his intelligent mansion, which he invested heavily in, because of this incident.

Similarly, the female star who has been chasing Feng Yiping, her large-scale photos on the beach were actually taken by the paparazzi when they were following her wealthy boyfriend.

But Feng Yiping at this time was not happy that he was more popular - there were paparazzi following him in the United States, which naturally meant that more and more people were paying attention to him.

He hugged Vincent and asked worriedly, "Is it only this one today?"

He is not the same as he was in China before.

At that time, he had just become the richest man in China, and he could openly let reporters from several domestic media squat and shoot almost around the clock.

But now he doesn't have this confidence.

"It's still uncertain, but please rest assured that we will deal with it properly," Owen said.

Feng Yiping really didn't let go of this worry. It's not so easy to get rid of paparazzi.

In order to take pictures, they dare to force others into car accidents, and they don't hesitate to get into car accidents themselves. They dare to take other people's lives, and they dare to risk their own lives.

The previous example is the well-known Princess Diana, and the latter example is the paparazzi who followed Justin Bieber and died in a car accident.

The main reason why they dare to be so crazy and cruel is also because of the high profits behind it.

It is said that the paparazzi who hated Princess Diana the most are precisely other paparazzi.

After Princess Diana's accident, she felt more pain than the British royal family, and many of those who shed tears for her sincerely were paparazzi.

Because from then on, they could no longer make a profit by selling her related photos.

It is said that many paparazzi members relied on secretly photographing Princess Diana to allow their families to live a happy life of living in luxury houses and driving luxury cars.

When Princess Diana got into trouble, they lost an important source of income.

How high is similar income? We can also use that celebrity as an example.

It is said that the reporter who followed her wealthy boyfriend accidentally took a group of large-scale photos of them on the beach and immediately sold them to many Chinese media. The income from selling them to Hong Kong media alone exceeded 3 million Hong Kong dollars!

Feng Yiping is now an entrepreneurial idol of young people around the world, a well-known young scholar with international reputation, the richest man in mainland China, the owner of several phenomenal Internet products, and the dream lover of thousands of fans... His net worth is much higher than that celebrity.

Now he is in his twenties, and it is the time when he should have emotional entanglements, but his personal life is strictly confidential to the outside world. Even if a photo of his girlfriend is taken, it will definitely sell for a good price.

If they knew some clues and took photos of him with his son or daughter, they would definitely reach the pinnacle of life.

In that case, those paparazzi would inadvertently become Huang Jingping's eyes and ears, which is really a big deal!

"Can you guarantee that there will be no problems?" He frowned and asked Owen, not at all happy about the salary upgrade.

"It's easier to control Mountain View," Owen said.

Yes, after all, it's on the mountain, and it's the highest point, so it's relatively difficult to take secret photos. But here, Feng Yiping looked at it from an amateur's perspective. Not to mention other places, just on the opposite mountain, using a telephoto lens, his activities here are absolutely unobstructed.

He then understood why so many celebrities and wealthy people are keen to buy an island and become the owner of the island, because only those islands with inconvenient transportation and only accessible by plane and yacht can effectively block the prying of paparazzi.

It seems that Ma Ling's house may really need to be changed.

"Yes, he also recommended himself, can he be your follow-up photographer?"

Feng Yiping knows about follow-up photographers.

Many famous people have so many photos and videos that are not well known to the public, or so many photos that are familiar to everyone but look natural and are not posed, because they have photographers following them.

For example, Jobs had a photographer who followed him from Apple to his home for 22 years, of course, irregularly.

It is precisely because of such following that the public has more ways to understand him.

It can also be said that the guy's request also means that Feng Yiping is worthy of being followed, but in his current situation, how can he agree to be followed?

"Don't consider it at all," he said flatly.
