Chapter 2928 Fighting and Fighting Again

Saboban was driving at a constant speed on the wide driveway. The lush forests on both sides of the road spread to the distance of his sight, as vast as a sea of ​​green.

Wild flowers of various colors are scattered on the roadside and in the forest, looking wanton and beautiful. Birds are flying and playing in the forest. Their cheerful chirping and the sound of gurgling water are carried into the car by the breeze, making Feng Yiping feel particularly vivid. and cordial.

He held Mayer's hand next to him and said, "I really prefer this environment,"

"Really?" Mayer felt that the air here was different from that of San Francisco. "Don't you like to live in a higher place, preferably where you can see the sea?"

Otherwise, why would she have bought the mansion on the top floor of the Four Seasons Hotel in the first place?

"Where I grew up, there was no sea," Feng Yiping said.

There was a sound of "tap, tap, tap", and through the gaps in the forest, someone could be seen riding a horse on the horse path in the forest.

Along the way, I didn’t see many houses, but I saw quite a few people riding horses.

Woodside is such a unique place. This famous luxury mansion area in the United States is located in the middle of several open forest reserves. Therefore, it not only has an excellent natural environment, but is also very suitable for raising horses.

The local government's special move to preserve the criss-crossing horse racing trails undoubtedly further amplifies this advantage. Most families here raise horses.

Therefore, in most places, when people do leisure exercise, the so-called cycling refers to riding a bicycle, and the cycling here is all about horseback riding.

This, in turn, just illustrates the gold content of this luxury area.

In the United States, cars and yachts are generally not recognizable, but those who can ride horses are all rich people.

And those who can play horses in a well-known high-price area in the United States like Silicon Valley, only ten miles away from Stanford University and Palo Alto, are even richer.

"Do you like horses?" he asked Mayer.

"I don't feel much at first, but I can try to like it," Mayer looked at the knights who were disappearing and appearing in the forest, rising and falling on the horse, and then looked at his big belly, and suddenly felt a little envious in his heart. .

Feng Yiping immediately felt that he had asked a stupid question and should not have asked it, "I prefer cows. Beef cows can eat meat, and dairy cows can drink milk."

Then, he immediately hissed, "It hurts, it really hurts."

I just looked at you caringly when I was talking. Do you need such a big reaction?

Besides, do you have milk now?

The reason why he said cows is because raising horses is really expensive.

As for the little red horse he gave to Amanda, the cost of fostering it at the horse farm often made him feel that it was not a horse at all, but that it really looked like a "mom".

Really, he was very sure that his mother's monthly expenses were definitely not as high as that pony's expenses.

And that is not a purebred horse, but if Mayer wants to raise a horse like other residents here, she must pay attention to the pedigree of the horse, which will easily be the price of a luxury car, and with her shopping She's used to it, and she probably won't just raise a solitary horse...

But just like raising a child, the follow-up expenses are the biggest, such as dedicated care, decent food, clothing, housing and transportation... Really, if we only talk about material things, the treatment of most children in the world will definitely not be as good as that of a pedigree horse. horse.

"What kind of horse do you like? I'll help you find it." At this time, he didn't dare to let the person next to him make a mistake.

Mayer asked, "What are your plans for the day after tomorrow?"

The day after tomorrow is the 20th of the first lunar month and the 14th of February, which also happens to be a Saturday... Why is it not a working day?

"I……"

At this time Irving said, "Boss, we're here,"

In the middle of the road ahead, under the tall redwood trees, there is a large iron gate. The iron fences on both sides are winding in the forest. The 20 acres of land they circle is Mayer's new real estate.

The time to get home is really good.

The electric safety door slowly opened, and Feng Yiping pressed against Mayer's belly, "Baby, the new home is here, do you like it?"

Mayer smiled and looked at Irving in the front row.

But when Feng Yiping held her hand and visited the decorated three-story mansion, she couldn't help but introduce it to Feng Yiping with great interest.

The goddess of Silicon Valley who has taken over Google's image design took action, and the effect is naturally extraordinary. Simple yet elegant, stylish yet warm. Especially every room can enjoy the lush outdoor scenery, just like Feng Yiping's mansion on the top of the mountain. The large floor-to-ceiling glass windows allow the room to be filled with sunlight all the time.

Really suitable for families with children.

Mayer finally chose this place mainly because of its privacy. Standing in the master bedroom on the third floor, looking around, he could only see the dense forest, but could not see the surrounding neighbors at all.

"It's really great!" Feng Yiping turned his head, looked at the large bed, and smiled, "At such a moment, it is really necessary to do something very memorable, isn't it?"

Mayer immediately felt that in the face of such a proposal, there was no harm in letting go of his problem for a while.

…………

Forty minutes later, when only the sounds of nature were left in the master bedroom, Feng Yiping almost collapsed when he heard "What are your plans for the day after tomorrow?"

Hey, I worked so hard just now!

"The day after tomorrow, this is how I arranged it,"

This question is somewhat difficult to answer.

Although there is a lot of work to do, he should put it aside on a day like the day after tomorrow.

Originally, it was easier to arrange. Considering the reservation situation of Mantingfang the day after tomorrow, Huang Jingping should inevitably go to the restaurant during the day. Therefore, he can spend part of the day with Ma Ling and her son, and spend the night with Huang Jingping.

But Huang Jingping may also share half of the day, and at night, they may bring their two children to eat with him again, so he is not sure that he can spare time.

"Although I am not sure of the specific time, I will definitely spare time..."

"Ring, ring, ring," the phone rang happily. Feng Yiping glanced at it impatiently, and then raised it to Mayer with some embarrassment, "Sorry, I have to answer it first,"

Just because this person was so enthusiastic in London more than ten days ago, he had to answer it.

Mayer raised his eyes and agreed.

"Hello, Ronell,"

"Hello Feng," UBS President Marcel Ronell's voice sounded quite calm, but Feng Yiping still heard some urgency in it.

This is normal. According to the news he received, this banker who took over UBS in July 2007 is now facing a huge crisis in his career - he may soon lose his position.

Because UBS's high losses in the subprime mortgage crisis and the headache-inducing lawsuit with the US government, especially such a lawsuit, will cause the Swiss banking industry to partially abandon the confidentiality principle they have been adhering to for hundreds of years, making him currently criticized.

The reason for this is that according to the current investigation results, when he was the wealth management manager of UBS, UBS did implement some policies that were suspected of violating US regulations, and the United States was firmly grasping these facts and forcing them to bow their heads.

Whether he was unlucky or suffered for others, at present, he is really being spurned by all his peers.

"Feng, sorry to bother you," Ronell said politely before getting to the point, "We heard that Madoff invested $5 billion in one of your funds?"

"Feng, this is really something that we all admire. It fully demonstrates your authority in financial investment. You know, even we are Madoff's clients, and we expect him to bring us good returns,"

Feng Yiping probably understood the purpose of his call, "Are you also one of the victims?"

"Yes, this is something that makes us very ashamed. So far, we have not recovered $1 billion of our investment in Madoff's company," Ronell said.

"Feng, you must have heard about my current situation. Because of my decision, UBS suffered unprecedented losses. I hope to have a chance to recover some of the losses, so I am wondering if you can keep the 5 billion investment in Madoff..."

"Ronell, I understand what you mean," Feng Yiping walked to the window and looked at the branches on the crown of the redwood forest, undulating with the wind, and rippling into the distance, "but unfortunately, since I received the investment, I have not touched it again. It has been kept in a special account at Wells Fargo."

"And now, you are also very clear that I am even less likely to use it. I think you'd better communicate with Madoff's asset liquidation client. The funds should be transferred to them soon."

"I personally know very well the pressure you are facing now, but unfortunately, Ronell, I really can't help you with this matter."

How could he do this at this time?

To be honest, Ronell's idea is really completely inconsistent with common sense and procedures. I think he is also desperate. Even if there is only a little hope, he has to try it.

There was silence for a while, "I understand, Feng, I understand, then, excuse me,"

It seems that this person will most likely step down, but I don't know when, a week later, or a month later.

Feng Yiping had no time to sigh, and was about to continue answering Mayer's question, when another call came in. This time, it was the head of HSBC, who of course had the same plan as Ronell.

After that, his phone kept ringing, Societe Generale, Royal Bank of Scotland...

These banks that he had dealt with, one after another, all had their heads unprofessionally propose similar attempts.

Although Feng Yiping rejected them one by one, he could hear that those guys would never give up similar attempts. He could imagine that at this time, the representatives sent by these guys were probably on the way.

He originally wanted to avoid it, but he really didn't expect that he couldn't avoid such trouble even when he went abroad.

He looked at Mayer, who seemed to be waiting for an answer. So, am I such a person who will be fought over at any time?

Tsk, being too outstanding is really troublesome.
