MTL - Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant-Chapter 77 the festival

  Chapter 77 Holidays

   In addition to customizing private services for himself in Los Angeles, An Feng also accompanied Katilina in her work. The progress of the filming went smoothly. An Feng visited the filming locations a few times. As a major shareholder, this is an advantage. It was a little happy to see a group of beauties who were aboveboard.

  The only shortcoming is that Katilina is a bit procrastinated. Although this is a rare opportunity for her to show her strength, she prefers to stay up late, go to bed late, and get up late to go to work. At first An Feng thought she was playing big cards, but later found out that she was just lazy. When her hobby turned into work, her interest gradually disappeared.

  An Feng couldn't do anything about it, because the two had similar tastes, and when Katilina went to work, he went to see his two properties in Los Angeles. The research work of Mike Keith's team was fairly stable, with a small breakthrough, but not as fast as An Feng expected. But the diet pills produced samples.

  Anfeng used to provide two types of formulations, one type of prescription drugs and one type of over-the-counter drugs, mainly for different policies and consumer needs. Both medicines have obvious effects on weight loss. Of course, the users must cooperate with the right amount of exercise. Otherwise, no matter how miraculous the medicine is, it will be useless.

  After a small amount of samples come out, the next step is to conduct animal testing, commonly known as catching mice and playing with slices.

In terms of the production of weight-loss drugs, the review in the United States is very strict. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has vetoed the production of any weight-loss drugs for more than ten years. It is conceivable that the government’s supervision is strong. A few years later, the FDA has approved several new weight-loss drugs.

  The market for weight-loss drugs is still huge. Among them, the over-the-counter drugs he provides have almost no harm to the body, and can maintain a normal body shape after a certain amount of exercise. They are aimed at some fat men and women who love beauty, and there is no hope for super fat people. Advanced technology does not equal miracles.

  The results given by the experimental team are very exciting. The inspectors used the most stringent FDA method to test, and the hazard index in all aspects is still the lowest among the weight-loss drugs sold on the market. What Anfeng needs to consider now is which pharmaceutical company to license it for production, or to continue financing with patents.

  This is the first good news since the new year. Although it has not yet produced benefits, the pressure to repay nearly 100 million US dollars of loans has been reduced a lot. Then the second good news is Tailan Company, these workaholics are working hard, advertisements are flying all over the sky, and I heard that there are still people working overtime on Christmas Eve.

The first order between Tailan and regional distributors was signed today, and Anfeng also attended the ceremony in formal attire. The distributor is an old customer and has cooperated with him for many years, so he is very confident in Tailan's products, although the content of the advertisement is very impressive. It's a bit exaggerated, but if it's approved by the Ministry of Agriculture, it should be fine.

  The signed agreement is 50,000 US dollars, not much, but after all, it is the first customer of a new product, so it is worth celebrating. All the dealers buy are agricultural fertilizers suitable for wheat. The latitude of the United States is similar to that of China, so there is also a saying of spring wheat in the north and winter wheat in the south. Spring is coming, and dealers in many regions are starting to stock up.

  After signing the contract, An Feng listened to CEO Bray Hawke report on some company affairs in the office.

  The more Hawke talked, the more ashamed An Feng became. Only now did he know that tomatoes are planted in March and April, and then it is the turn of corn in April and soybeans in April and May. The three are the top three in agricultural production in the United States. If you tell others that he has developed high-efficiency agricultural fertilizers, but he doesn't even understand these...

   But An Feng was very good at pretending. He skipped the details and asked: "You mean, we received more orders this year than in previous years?"

Hawke is a little proud: "The growth rate is about 30%. Although the effect has not yet been reflected, our publicity has played a role. It's just that the impact has both negative and positive. Negative views generally believe that we are talking nonsense and misleading consumers, while the positive ones are He has researched the product and thinks this is a rare technological breakthrough.”

  An Feng said with satisfaction: "The first step is very good!"

Hawke smiled and said: "However, the conflict between these two viewpoints makes people curious about our products. The old customers are naturally supportive, and some new customers will also order some products out of curiosity. Go back. I think half a year from now, the looks on people's faces will be wonderful."

   "They will." An Feng said that this kind of publicity has the same effect as hype, and the positive and negative arguments can arouse the curiosity of the masses.

  …

   There are still a few days before the Spring Festival. Katilina finished her work as the director of the February issue. Before she packed her bags and went back, An Feng accompanied her to the Chinese consulate.

  The reason is very simple. She heard that An Feng was going back to China for a few days, so she also pestered her to go.

Then she went to ask for a visa. Catalina is from Colombia but has American nationality. It is not too difficult to get a tourist visa in this area. After all, China has been carrying out reform and opening up, and Chinese visa officers do not have the concerns of American visa officers. People go to China to tear up their passports and disappear?

  At present, more residents of developing countries go to developed countries to tear up their passports, have they not returned? Of course, when China rises in the future, this scene will definitely happen. But as far as the current situation is concerned, this scene is very strange: after being discovered, it will definitely make headlines and successfully prevent dogs from invading the earth.

  …

  On New Year’s Eve, everyone gathers together to make dumplings with dumpling skins bought from Chinatown. A lot of guests came to the house, and a few kids were also there. An Feng was very puzzled how Xiaoyu and the other kids solved the communication problem. He observed for a while, the little **** were playing with dumpling wrappers around the table, Xiaoyu spoke Chinese, and Andy spoke English, neither of them understood, and then gestured to each other, back and forth, and finally understood.

  Landau's family also participated in the dumpling-making activity, while the Sassen family came except Joanna who had gone to school. Joanna's mother, Kelly, is very skillful, and soon a small plate of results was displayed in front of everyone. She smiled and said: "My mother taught me some things before, but I haven't done it for a long time, and I'm unfamiliar with it."

  An Feng looked at it and praised: "It's no worse than my parents and sister's skills."

  My sister saw it and said, "It's really good!"

   "Look, everyone praises you!" Frank smiled and kissed Kelly's forehead.

   "Uncle, what do you think my bag looks like?" Xiaoyu tugged at his sleeve, showing a messy dumpling in her hand.

   "This cat is so pretty." An Feng said.

  Xiaoyu pouted: "This is a little rabbit."

   "Ahaha, what a beautiful rabbit." An Feng smiled shyly.

   "Hey, look at ours." Andy, Harvey and Mia over there showed An Feng the animal dumplings in their hands not to be outdone.

  Although they couldn’t see what it was, and the dumpling stuffing leaked out, An Feng gave the children a lot of encouragement: “Very good, so beautiful!”

   "Yeah! Let's eat it tonight." The three furry children cheered, seeing that Xiaoyu couldn't understand, they opened their mouths and made a gesture of eating it.

  Xiaoyu understood, and said, "Uncle, I want to eat too."

   "There will be." An Feng said with a smile.

  Everyone got together to eat dumplings on New Year's Eve, and the little bunnies enjoyed biting the dumpling wrappers that had fallen apart. Then a sumptuous dinner was prepared according to the domestic practice. Considering that some guests were curious about the Spring Festival, An Feng's family thought about it several days in advance and prepared this big table of Chinese food. Local specialties, dim sum, fresh soup, etc. are available in a variety of styles. One table is not enough, so we simply open it in the backyard and have a self-service New Year's Eve party.

  We celebrated the New Year’s Eve with a western-style buffet, and everyone was free to pick up the dishes. The guests were full of praise. Although Chinese and Western food preferences are different, and Americans prefer sweet food, due to the wide variety of Chinese food and different flavors, someone will always find a favorite taste.

The old cowboy Mark was obviously very interested in the baijiu that his father and brother-in-law drank. Under An Feng's translation, they also poured a glass of 56-degree Red Star Erguotou for the old cowboy. As a result, Mark, who is known as the "beer king", generously poured a glass of Erguotou After eating, the whole face instantly turned red like a lantern.

  Red wine expert Frank Sassen was also interested and asked Mark, "How does it feel?"

  Mark, with a dark personality, smiled slightly and gave a thumbs up.

  Frank also served a small cup, and when he brought it to his mouth, he smelled a pungent smell of alcohol. He frowned and took a sip, but the result was so hot that he stuck out his tongue.

   "Chinese wine without ice, it's horrible!" This is the master's comment.

As a result, more people became curious. Seeing how refreshing their father and brother-in-law were to drink with peanuts, they also tried it. Bing didn't know how to get drunk, and everyone in the back drank unconsciously and turned into **** with their arms around their necks and singing good-bye to the two brothers.

  After the New Year’s Eve countdown in Los Angeles time, the last program came: fireworks.

  Setting off firecrackers can easily be mistaken by the small town police as a shooting, and there is too much garbage and it is difficult to clean up. An Feng only bought some fireworks. Moved the props to the backyard and arranged them neatly. Everyone picked up their cameras one by one. An Feng lit the fireworks in order, and ran over to join everyone with strange screams.

With the sound of whistling and fireworks rising into the sky, crackling explosions sounded in the night sky above, and colorful and gorgeous flowers bloomed suddenly... In this gorgeous fireworks party, An Feng and others exchanged New Year's greetings, and the foreigners were also lame The "Happy New Year" was a joy, and some people behind shouted "Hello Brothers", probably because the 56-degree Chinese wine just now hasn't brought them back to their senses...
