Chapter 2447 Palm Beach
The car drove onto the bridge connecting Palm Beach and West Palm Beach, and Feng Yiping once again set foot on this favorite winter resort for American tycoons.
The car window had been rolled down long ago, and the warm breeze with the breath of the Atlantic Ocean made Feng Yiping feel particularly comfortable.
"Next month, it will be more lively here, and the owners of these houses on the island will fly in from all over the world,"
"On the beach, you can always bump into the most famous Hollywood stars. In the banquets one after another, you can easily meet European royal family members and some well-known former politicians from all over the world. In the golf courses on the island, many wealthy people and financiers that many entrepreneurs can't see are everywhere," as the host, John once again introduced the local characteristics to Feng Yiping.
"I've heard it a long time ago," Feng Yiping said, "I've heard that at this time, more than a quarter of the wealth in the United States flows here,"
"So I suspect that the rustling sound I hear now is not the waves, but the sound of dollars flowing," Feng Yiping cooperated very well.
It must be said that just like owning a mansion in Beverly Hills, owning a house in Palm Beach is a symbol of status.
And John owns a house here.
"Haha," John stretched out one hand and patted the car happily. "Just a little statistics, you will know that this is absolutely not an exaggeration,"
"Looking back a few decades, when those old families, such as Morgan, had not yet declined, it was estimated that there were more than a quarter,"
He looked at the mansions of different styles behind the neatly trimmed hedges under the tall palm trees outside the window, and felt a little proud.
Although he did not join the most demanding country club on the island, living next to so many top rich people is a success.
"We are almost there," Heidi said with a smile, and pinched John's waist gently, signaling him not to say anything more.
What you said, what does it mean to Feng?
Anne was ready to attack her father, saying that meeting those Hollywood stars on the beach was nothing. Even Ma Ling didn't care about it now.
Which famous Hollywood star had she not seen in her work?
And Feng Yiping, it should be that those Hollywood stars would find it rare and precious to meet him here.
But under the stern gaze of her sister, she held back her words with some resentment.
Did I attack my father? Is it okay for your child to be his father?
She turned her target to Vincent, "Vincent, do you want to live at home or in a hotel?"
At this time, Feng Yiping naturally couldn't come here simply for vacation, so it was not good to stay at John's house all the time. Wu Qian and the others had already booked a room for him at the Blakes Hotel.
When asking this question, Anne's eyes swept across her sister and Feng Yiping's faces, and her face was undisguised to watch the show.
If Vincent said he lived at home, it meant that he liked his grandparents more, and if he said he lived in a hotel, it was obvious that he liked Feng Yiping more.
She believed that John and Heidi would be somewhat unhappy when they heard such an answer.
"Well," Vincent touched his chin with his little hand, blinked his big eyes and thought for a while, and gave an answer that surprised Anne, "Can I live on the boat?" He pointed to the yachts wandering in the sea and said.
Anne was stunned.
Impossible, the little guy couldn't know the trap in my words!
Ma Ling smiled and glanced at his sister, reached out and touched his son's head, his eyes full of pride.
Humph! Anne snorted unhappily, what's so great, I will definitely give birth to a son who is more handsome and smarter than this boy in the future.
However, when this idea came up, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty, this, should be possible!
John, who was silent for a while, said at this time, "We are here, our house is here,"
Behind a black European iron gate on the side of the road, a mansion with typical Spanish architectural elements similar to the architectural style of Stanford University appeared in front of Feng Yiping.
Looking through the gap in the iron gate, the fountain in front of the mansion was spraying water happily.
…………
Feng Yiping had to leave the mansion that made John proud after not staying there for long. He also agreed with John's suggestion and walked to the hotel together.
There were not many people having fun on the beach at this time, but there were still some ladies wearing only bikinis, lying on their backs or lying on the spread beach cloth. I don't know if there were Hollywood stars among them.
Of course, even if there were, it would not be rare.
Near the sea, several people wearing life jackets were paddling rubber boats. I don't know if they were full and had nothing to do, so they held a competition.
And farther away, yachts of various sizes plowed the sea and cruised proudly.
At this time, John finally lit up the cigar that had been used as a prop. He took a puff and said, "It's a great place, isn't it!"
"The environment is first-class, the scenery is first-class, the safety is first-class, the facilities are first-class, the social circle is first-class..." Feng Yiping said, "Yes, this is a very good place,"
"Heidi and I plan to stay in Palm Beach for a few years. If you can spare some time, you can bring Vincent to play golf with me,"
"Well, I still have to learn,"
John looked at Feng Yiping blankly, "You don't know how to play golf yet?"
"I'm not very interested," Feng Yiping said.
John didn't know what to say. This guy doesn't smoke cigars, doesn't drink much, and now doesn't even play golf. He seems to be a very boring person. Why is his daughter so devoted to him?
I really can't figure it out.
"I prefer running," Feng Yiping said.
John said, "Oh, running? He is very uninterested."
The two of them fell silent again for a while.
John thought, this is not good, I have to find a common topic that he is also interested in.
But he immediately thought, shouldn't you find some topics that I am interested in at this time, why do you want me to find them now?
Annie, who always finds ways to find faults with her sister and Feng Yiping, doesn't know at this time that it is precisely because of her experience with Feng Yiping that her father John has firmly believed that the flattery and respect that he did not enjoy from the person his eldest daughter likes must be taken back from the person his younger daughter likes in the future.
Anne's future husband, who is still unknown, said: "I have a sentence MMP, but I don't know whether I should say it or not." Just then, John saw a yacht on the sea and finally found a topic, "Do you know that in terms of investment, there is also a person as good as you on this island," "Oh?" This topic successfully attracted Feng Yiping's attention. ………… At this time, a business plane arrived at the West Palm Beach Municipal Airport. Joseph Huley, who was in his prime and had a rosy face, quickly got off the business plane. As soon as he got into the car, he couldn't wait to say, "Go to Blakes," In Boston, in the industry, Joseph Huley's public reputation was not even as good as Abigail Johnson, the daughter of Edward Johnson of Fidelity Group in Boston, who has not yet taken over. Not to mention Lawrence Fink or Jack Brennan of Pioneer. But he is actually also a powerful character. Six years after graduating from college, he left the information technology industry that he was most interested in, resigned from American Telecom, and joined State Street Corporation where his father had worked all his life. More than a decade later, he has been promoted to the head of operations of State Street Corporation, and is also the most popular candidate for the next helmsman of State Street Corporation.
Just as John is proud of his career and the mansion in Palm Beach, Joseph Huley's father is very proud that his son joined State Street under his influence.
Because his current achievements have exceeded everyone's expectations of him, and in the foreseeable future, his achievements will be even more dazzling.
The car soon drove onto the bridge that Feng Yiping and his team had driven over not long ago. Joseph Huley, an industry insider, looked at the mansions hidden among the flowers and trees, and he could clearly hear the sound of American wealth flowing on this island.
However, he was a little nervous at this time. How should he explain to Mr. Feng that it was he, not the chairman of the group, who came here to see him?
