Chapter 1 First Arrival in America
New York John Fitzgerald Kennedy International Airport is the main international airport in New York City and one of the largest airports in the world. It is located on the coast of Jamaica Bay in Queens (Queens District). The airport was built in 1942 and had its first commercial flight on July 1, 1948. It was officially named "New York International Airport" on July 31. On November 22, 1963, US President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated. On December 24, the airport was renamed "John Fitzgerald Kennedy International Airport" to commemorate the first president.
As the main airport in New York, most of the foreign flights to New York arrive here.
On October 28, 1990, Zeng Lingfeng and his group arrived at Kennedy Airport.
Originally, Zeng Lingfeng just planned to take Luo Ying to the United States with him. However, before going abroad, Mr. Deng handed him over and gave him four people.
These four are real talents. Although their ultimate identities are all bodyguards in Zhongnanhai, they all have their own fields of expertise.
The eldest of the four, just treat it as the boss. His name is Cheng Xinhua, and he is very accomplished in computer networks. You should know that in 1990s, computers were a complete new thing for most Chinese people. China's talents in this area were very scarce. Mr. Deng knew that after Zeng Lingfeng arrived in the United States, he would definitely use talents in this area frequently, so he chose Cheng Xinhua.
The second brother is Mr. Deng’s family, and of course he has no blood relationship with Mr. Deng, so he is called Deng Maolin. Deng Maolin is the silent one of the few people, and what he is good at is precisely because what he is good at is intelligence analysis.
The third brother is Song Zuliang, who is good at business negotiations. Zeng Lingfeng admires his mouth the most, and even Zeng Lingfeng believes that he can say that he can say that the living person is dead and that the dead will be alive.
The youngest of the four is a girl, who looks like an older sister next door at the age of eighteen or nineteen. However, this is not known to her identity as a bodyguard in Zhongnanhai. In addition, this girl is good at managing and her name is Shang Fei.
After Zeng Lingfeng learned about what Mr. Deng was looking for for him, he also understood Mr. Deng's painstaking efforts. He knew that when Zeng Lingfeng first arrived in the United States, he was definitely indifferent. Although he had a lot of money, he did not have a single talent available. In this way, many things were difficult for him to complete. Therefore, he arranged such four people for Zeng Lingfeng, not only as Zeng Lingfeng's bodyguard, but also as finding several assistants for him.
Although Zeng Lingfeng was willing to refuse, he was not far away from the old man's intentions. In addition, he was not familiar with the place when he first arrived in the United States and had such a few talents to do things, so he agreed.
The four of them were originally arrogant and arrogant. At first, they were a little dissatisfied with Mr. Deng coming to protect a little boy like Zeng Lingfeng. They had to agree because this was Mr. Deng's arrangement. Mr. Deng knew their thoughts very well.
However, when Zeng Lingfeng left Beijing, the farewell team shocked them: a large group of white-haired academicians of the Academy of Sciences went to the airport to personally take gifts from disciples. Who else can have such honors in China? I'm afraid even Mr. Deng is impossible? The four of them knew very well that those old guys who were doing research were the most stubborn. Unless they really recognized you, no matter who you are, they would not be able to miss you. To put it nicely, this is called integrity. If it is not nice, this is a stubborn and stubborn. When they saw that Zeng Lingfeng was able to get so many respects from old guys, they realized that Zeng Lingfeng was definitely not an ordinary person and was definitely a person worthy of sending them to protect.
Of course, their identity also let them know what Zeng Lingfeng is, not what they should ask. If they can let them know, the organization will definitely tell them. Since the organization has not told them, it is something they shouldn't know. However, after seeing that scene, the four people's attitude towards Zeng Lingfeng has completely changed.
In fact, this was also intentional for Mr. Deng. Zeng Lingfeng was originally planning to leave the United States quietly, but he did not tell these old academicians, just because he was worried that they would make some noise. After seeing the expressions of the bodyguards he sent to Zeng Lingfeng, Mr. Deng made such a decision. He hoped that they could travel their responsibilities wholeheartedly. However, Mr. Deng could not tell them about Zeng Lingfeng's true identity, so he could only do a roundabout way and indirectly sound a wake-up call for them.
When Zeng Lingfeng and his friends walked out of the airport lobby, the staff of the Chinese Consulate in New York were already waiting there. There was no way, this was also the old man's arrangement.
Originally, Zeng Lingfeng came to the United States this time and did not want to have anything to do with the official. Although his actions would not cause sensitive nerves to the United States, if it was related to the Chinese authorities, it might be possible, so Zeng Lingfeng has been avoiding these things.
However, Mr. Deng also had good intentions. Although Sino-US relations are at a low point now, after all, with the government background, after Zeng Lingfeng encountered trouble, the United States would definitely have many concerns when dealing with his affairs. Zeng Lingfeng also understood that this was a matter of pros and cons, so he did not refuse.
However, Zeng Lingfeng decided to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future investment process to avoid any official problems. This official background is regarded as a trump card for himself, and when encountering some situations that he cannot handle, it is regarded as a means to protect himself.
The person who came to pick him up was the business counselor of the Chinese Consulate in New York. Zeng Lingfeng was still a little surprised by his arrival, but when he thought that this was what Mr. Deng told him, he felt relieved.
However, Zeng Lingfeng only stayed in the New York Consulate for one day and moved out the next day.
On the afternoon of the arrival, Zeng Lingfeng and Luo Ying accompanied by four bodyguards to Jersey City next to New York. Jersey City is the second largest city in New Jersey, second only to Newark. It is located in the northeast of New Jersey. It is the location of Hudson County. It has a total land area of 14.87 square miles and a water area of 6.19 square miles. The city is a port near the Hudson River and the Heckensec River Peninsula, next to Newark Bay and below.
Zeng Lingfeng decided to buy a villa there. Originally, it was more convenient to buy a villa in Manhattan, but Zeng Lingfeng is a strange guy. He doesn't like a bustling environment. In Jersey City, west of Manhattan, not only is the environment much quieter than Manhattan, but the transportation to Manhattan is also more convenient. The submarine highway is directly connected to Manhattan, and you can reach the company headquarters in Manhattan in about an hour.
Of course, there is another reason why Zeng Lingfeng bought his house in Jersey City. Although Jersey City is very close to Manhattan in the center of New York, the housing prices there are much cheaper than Manhattan, where every inch of land is valuable. Although Zeng Lingfeng is worth tens of billions of dollars, he is not willing to let himself spend money on the Americans. He just wants to earn every cent of the Americans. Of course, this is just a beautiful wish, and in fact there is no possibility.
Finally, Zeng Lingfeng bought a villa near the Statue of Liberty National Park. I have to say that buying a house in the United States is indeed expensive. Such a villa actually cost Zeng Lingfeng 10 million US dollars! Zeng Lingfeng's heart was twitching, constantly cursing the unscrupulous American real estate developers.
However, Zeng Lingfeng was still very satisfied with this villa. It is very close to Manhattan. Looking east from the villa, you can see the back of the Statue of Liberty. A little further away, you can see the tall Twin Towers.
Looking at the tall twin towers, Zeng Lingfeng felt a little conflicted. It has been almost nine years now. In less than eleven years, the building will be knocked out by a plane hijacked by terrorists. Zeng Lingfeng did not have the idea of warning the US government, but he was a little apologized for those victims.
However, during this period of time in the United States, Zeng Lingfeng still planned to set up his headquarters. Of course, this was only under the premise that the headquarters was not large. If the headquarters was expanded, Zeng Lingfeng would definitely move it out and find another place to set up a headquarters.
After buying a villa, Zeng Lingfeng decided to buy a few cars since it was still several kilometers away from Manhattan.
Zeng Lingfeng doesn't want to buy a car with a long length like Lincoln, and Zeng Lingfeng himself does not appreciate Lincoln's shape. However, as a symbol of his identity, Zeng Lingfeng could not buy a car casually. After some thought, Zeng Lingfeng made a decision.
Since it is in the United States, it is better to buy American brands. In addition to the extended Lincoln with a bun, others such as Buick, Cadillac, and Land Rover are all very good, and they are also world-famous high-end car brands.
Zeng Lingfeng found a large car sales center not far from the villa. The car brands are very complete, not only famous American cars, but also German cars, Japanese cars, British cars, and French cars in this sales center.
However, I have decided to buy American cars, so Zeng Lingfeng did not pay attention to car brands in other countries.
In the end, Zeng Lingfeng bought four cars, one Buick, one Cadillac, one Land Rover, and one Chrysler. Although it was only four cars, it took care of the products of the three major American automobile companies.
Before leaving finally, Zeng Lingfeng noticed Luo Ying's strangeness. It turned out that she was staring at the Porsche 911carrera2 in a store opposite.
Zeng Lingfeng was planning to buy a car for Luo Ying. Luo Ying was going to go to Juilliard School in New York, which was also a noble school. Zeng Lingfeng didn't want Luo Ying to be looked down upon by some small details, so he decided to buy her a good car. But he didn't know what car she liked, and he didn't have time to ask her. In addition, there were only a few people here this time, and Luo Ying didn't know how to drive, so he didn't plan to buy it again.
However, now seeing Luo Ying likes the Porsche so much, Zeng Lingfeng decided to buy it.
