The San Francisco International Airport was only 22 kilometers away from the city center.
It only took half an hour for the car to reach the city through a free highway.
There seemed to be no end in front of the road. The factory buildings could be seen in the distance under the endless blue sky and white clouds.
There were hills on the side of the road, which were filled with exquisite and cute, colorful villas.
San Francisco was a veritable mountain city.
The city was built on the mountain, and the ground was undulating, but 90% of the roads were straight. It was convenient and beautiful, pleasing to the eye.
"Tang Shaoze, Tie Minghuang, Lin Fengmian and the others have led the construction team to Sodoni. I don't know what the construction will be like. I hope Sodoni will be as prosperous as here in the future!"
Seeing this, Jiang Tian sighed in his heart.
After passing through the city of San Francisco, the car drove to the beach.
This area belonged to the most beautiful "Seventeen Mile" Golden Coast of San Francisco.
There was a reef beach on one side and mountains and jungles on the other. The scenery was pleasant and the location was excellent. There was also a golf course to watch the sea, swim, surf.
Villas of different styles and ages were hidden in the jungle. Nature and culture complemented each other.
As the night fell, the BMW sedan drove into a villa built on the mountain and facing the sea.
But "Deer Leap Wine Cellar" was undoubtedly the largest and most luxurious manor. It covered an area of hundreds of acres, like a palace.
This was Mr. Marshall's seaside villa.
Mr. Marshall's wealth and status could be seen from this manor alone that was worth at least one billion US dollars.
"Actually, Deer Leap Wine Cellar is a winery. This used to be the winery's vineyard."
In the open-air parking lot, Paris slammed the car door and took Jiang Tian's arm.
"Mr. Marshall Wooding spent 185 million US dollars to buy this winery in the 1990s and built a villa here. He likes wine very much! So, these grapes were all taken care of by him personally! "
There were many Cabernet Sauvignon grapes planted on the hillside. They were lush and green and had bloomed, but had not yet borne fruit.
On the lawn with a fountain pool, a wine party was being held.
Many men and women were drinking beer and eating roast chicken while chatting. They were relaxed and laughed from time to time. There were also a few young people swimming and playing in the pool.
It was different from the general upper-class society.
The guests here were dressed casually in jeans and T-shirts. Some of them were even wearing beach shorts and slippers.
The musicians played very upbeat modern music, sometimes rock, sometimes hip-hop, instead of traditional classical music.
But Jiang Tian glanced around and saw many famous people, such as the founder of alternative energy vehicles, the chairman of Oracle, the senior CEO of Nvidia, and so on. The assets of their companies were in the tens of billions.
"Many of these people are engineer-type founders. They are flamboyant, open-minded, and tolerant. They don't have the complicated etiquette and rules of the old families."
While holding Jiang Tian's arm and walking towards a mansion, Peris introduced the place casually.
"Although Mr. Marshall Wooding is very old, he can get along well with them. In fact, many of them received their first venture capital investment from Mr. Marshall! "
"Hey! Don't you want to come over for a drink, Paris? "
In the crowd, someone raised his wine glass and waved from afar.
"I'm sorry, I still have important matters to attend to!" Peris smiled sweetly and waved her hand.
"What important matters do you have to attend to?"
That person complained resentfully.
Suddenly, someone noticed Jiang Tian and laughed. "Peris, is this your new boyfriend? Is he Japanese or Hua Xia? But he is very handsome! He should be from South Korea! "
"Did you see that?"
Peris ignored that person and shrugged nonchalantly. She said to Jiang Tian. "I have such a bad reputation in the US. Any guy who appears around me will be mistaken as my new lover!"
The two entered a mansion, but they did not enter any room. Instead, they went up to the rooftop.
It turned out that there was a more private gathering here.
A kind old man with a head full of silver hair was sitting in a wheelchair, holding a goblet. He was chatting and laughing with a few middle-aged men who seemed to have extraordinary bearings.
There were also a few maids dressed in black and wearing white aprons standing quietly in the surroundings.
On a small round table beside him, there were Havana cigars, a decanter, a bottle of red wine, and a few bottles of wine in a silver ice bucket.
"Peris, my sweetheart, you came just in time. If you were any later, you would have missed this 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon!"
The old man was skinny, his skin was dark, and his body was covered with age spots. He was very weak, but his smile was very cheerful.
"One bottle is in this decanter, and the other bottle is in the Smithsonian National Museum!"
"In the 1976 Paris Wine Blind Tasting, it won against Bordeaux and Brettingen. It made Deer Leap Winery famous!"
"Then I must try it!" Peris took a glass of red wine from the maid and took a sip.
She swirled the red wine glass and said coquettishly. "Uncle Marshall, you are too naughty. You lied to me again! This is a new bottle of Riesling, and it should be less than three years old! "
"Haha, I didn't lie to you. Peris, you have inherited your father's keen observation and unique judgment!"
Marshall laughed heartily, looking like an old urchin.
Noticing Jiang Tian, the new guest, Marshall smiled and said, "Is this handsome young man your new boyfriend?"
"No, Peris and I are just friends. I am from Hua Xia!" Jiang Tian smiled.
"Welcome, guest from afar! Please take a seat! "
The old butler pushed the wheelchair forward. Marshall shook hands with Jiang Tian and then motioned for Jiang Tian to sit down.
He smiled and said, "When it comes to wine making, we in California are far behind Hua Xia!"
"Maotai, a very strong white wine. It tastes very mellow. I drank it when I went to Hua Xia in the 1990s. "
"I recommend another wine called Erguotou! You can try it! "Jiang Tian sat on the black rattan chair and smiled.
"Hua Xia people drink — —"
Marshall gave him a thumbs up and praised, "Very impressive, especially the officials at all levels. Mr. Deng told me personally that you have to go through the test of alcohol to be considered a proletarian soldier who is loyal to the party, the country, and the people. "
Jiang Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This must be what the Hua Xia officials said to persuade him to drink, but Marshall actually took it seriously.
At this time, Peris also introduced a few people present to Jiang Tian.
Almost all of them were famous nouveau riche in Silicon Valley, giants in the Internet, new energy, and new technology industries.
But the most eye-catching one was a seventeen or eighteen year old girl wearing a t-shirt and denim shorts. She was obviously the most important person besides Marshall.
A lot of topics revolved around her.
Peris introduced her as Marshall's favorite granddaughter, Rachel.
"Mr. Hua Xia, have you heard of a Hua Xia Master Kang?"
For some reason, the topic was about the most popular Hua Xia Master Kang in California's financial circle.
Rachel asked curiously.
The moment he said that.
The whole room went silent.
Everyone turned their heads to look at Jiang Tian. Rachel's eyes were wide open, her face filled with curiosity and anticipation.
"Actually, my surname is Jiang too. Are you talking about me, Miss Rachel? "Jiang Tian said calmly.
"What a boring joke! Are all men in Hua Xia so slippery? Aren't they a country of etiquette? "
Hearing this, Rachel stared at Jiang Tian with disdain and turned her head away.
Rachel hated grandpa's party.
In fact, she didn't want to stay for even a minute longer. It wasn't that she wasn't good at socializing, but … because of her appearance.
She was nineteen years old, the best age for a girl. Also, her parents gave her good looks, one in a million.
Last month, Vogue wanted her to be a cover model. It was too boring.
Rachel was a top student at the University of California School of Medicine, majoring in cytology and life sciences.
Her goal was to become the best medical scientist and even win the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
Originally, it was a good thing to be beautiful. Any woman would be proud of it.
But with her family background, it was very annoying.
At every party, countless top students from Harvard and Stanford, bosses, founders, and engineers from the Internet and new technology companies would come to talk to her and try to get close to her.
A few of them would pester her at every party and use all kinds of tricks to annoy her.
But after all, she was a socialite and had to maintain her poise. Also, her grandpa valued these young people very much, so she couldn't chase them away.
In her opinion, Jiang Tian must have said this to get her attention.
But this method was too old-fashioned!
Hearing her words, Jiang Tian couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
I didn't offend you, why are you giving me such a dirty face?
"Maybe she's on her period, or … she's getting an early update?"
Jiang Tian thought to himself and looked at Parris in surprise.
Parris leaned close to Jiang Tian's ear and smiled slyly.
"Mr. Jiang, I didn't reveal your identity before! I only said that you're my friend, a Chinese medicine doctor from Hua Xia! "
"Parris, you've thought it through." Jiang Tian nodded approvingly.
Jiang Tian was now the number one person in the Dark World and had already clashed with Blue Storm.
From the fact that the United States refused to give him a visa, it could be seen that the United States was very wary and disgusted with him.
If they knew that he had come to the United States, the CIA and the Pentagon would definitely be shocked and even directly attack Sodoni, which was still under construction.
Of course, he didn't need to provoke a superpower before falling out.
There were too many people at this party, and the news might be leaked. It was better to use his identity.
At this moment, Mike from Facebook looked at Rachel in surprise. "You're talking about Master Kang, who's stirring up trouble in Sodoni! Are you following him too? "
