Since he was going to leave Las Vegas, Eric was worried about leaving the two girls alone in Sin City, so he simply sent the two girls to the plane to Los Angeles at the airport, and then took the firefly group with his entourage. Gulfstream business jet headed to Maryland.
It was nearly two o'clock when he finally fell asleep last night. After the plane took off, Eric began to catch up on sleep. When he woke up again, the Gulfstream business jet had already arrived over Maryland.
Maryland, located on the east coast of the United States, is adjacent to Washington, DC. Its area is not large, only tens of thousands of square kilometers. Looking down from the porthole of the plane, you can see a large area of lush woodland and farmland, and the landform seems to be closer to hills than flat plains.
Although it departed from Las Vegas at 8:00 am, when it landed at Frederick Airport in northern Maryland four hours later, it was already 3:00 pm Eastern Time.
The Frederick City Airport is very small, without fences, and is completely open. There are only two runways in the airport, and most of the parked around are just mini propeller planes.
After the plane came to a complete stop on the runway, Eric walked down the gangway, and Jeffrey, who was wearing a cowboy hat and dressed plainly, came up with Chris and others. At first glance, Jeffrey seemed to be thinner. However, the spirit is obviously more hale and hearty. If you are riding a horse and hanging up the revolver at this time, you will obviously look like an old western cowboy.
As soon as he approached, Jeffrey unceremoniously gave Eric a big bear hug: "Hey, Eric, you are finally here."
"Yeah, there are always too many things," Eric explained, patted Jeffrey on the back and said, "Jeffrey, you look younger."
Jeffrey also smiled without any humility: "Haha, everyone thinks so."
After a few simple greetings, Eric hugged Chris again, and joked: "It's the day after tomorrow, how do you feel?"
"It's numb," Chris laughed at himself, and then introduced the two young men who followed him and Jeffrey, who were his cousins.
Eric shook hands with two young men who were about the same age as him but were very reserved, and Chris said, "Everyone is waiting for you at the farm, let's go."
Eric nodded, took his assistant Peter Rich and four bodyguards, and left the airport for Jeffrey's farm in four cars driven by Chris and the others.
Driving north along the highway that crosses Frederick City, looking from the ground, the surrounding undulating hills are more obvious, and the woodland and farmland are interlaced. It is early summer, and the greenery full of vitality makes people feel Feeling refreshed. Half an hour later, a few cars left the expressway and walked eastward for less than five kilometers before arriving at their destination, a small farm with about a dozen households. The farm is surrounded by Jeffrey's farm. About 2000 acres, equivalent to eight square kilometers.
Along the way, Jeffrey was excitedly introducing this farm. He said that it was a farm, but in fact only a quarter of the land was planted with crops such as wheat. In the pasture, many horses, cattle and sheep can be seen from a distance, and the dozen or so households in the farm are basically workers and tenants of the farm.
There were more than a dozen people standing on the side of the asphalt road at the entrance of the farm. After Eric got out of the car, he could probably recognize more than half of them. Joanna, Virginia, Emily and other women stood together, and of course there were three Little guy, there are John Chambers, Steve Case, Jorma Ollila, Ian Grenier and other high-level firefly system executives, and the others are probably Chris and Amy Relatives of both parties.
Just as everyone was about to say hello, a small figure rushed over calling for Dad. Amidst the laughter of everyone with different expressions, Eric did not shy away, hugged Emma affectionately, and asked, "Have you been naughty recently?" ?”
"No, Emma is very good," the little guy put his arms around Eric's neck, and said crisply: "I have learned to ride a horse, Dad, let's go horseback riding together, shall we?"
"Oh, Emma is great, but not now," Eric boasted, handing the little guy to Joanna who came over, and then greeted everyone one by one, and met Emily's parents and Ke Some other relatives of the Reese family.
Most of the guests will show up on the day of the wedding, and there are not too many guests in the farm. After chatting for more than ten minutes, everyone dispersed temporarily. Jeffrey's house is on the east side of the farm. Eric, Jeffrey and others walked towards the residence together. go.
Kevin, who was stuffed with Virginia in his arms all the way, passed the center of the farm. Eric noticed in doubt that a group of people who were obviously agents were checking around, and looked curiously at Chris, John Chambers and others There will definitely be some security guards, but it should definitely not be so ostentatious.
Eric didn't need to speak, Chris understood his doubts and explained: "The president and his wife will come over then, these are people from the Secret Service."
Eric raised his eyebrows slightly: "You invited?"
Chris shook his head, and said, "I received a call from the White House three days ago, saying that the president and his wife are just free on the 20th, and Washington is very close to here, so, you know, I can never refuse."
Eric smiled and said nothing.
In addition to John Chambers and other business executives who have rushed over, due to Chris’s connections in recent years, there will definitely be Warren Buffett and other heavyweight business leaders who will come to Chris’s wedding on the wedding day . At that time, the corporate executives gathered in this small farm will control companies with total assets of more than 200 billion U.S. dollars just by the Firefly system. Naturally, he will not let go of this opportunity to exert his own influence.
Although Eric will not be completely out of touch with the political circles, he will not take the initiative to make friends with the high-level officials of the government, but the other party will take the initiative to come up, and he will not refuse, and a good relationship with the president will not be harmful to Firefly.
Many wealthy Americans have the habit of buying land as farmers. CNN's major shareholder Ted Turner is one of the largest private farmers in the United States, owning tens of thousands of square kilometers of private land. Jeffrey's farm was also taken over from a businessman who originally used it as a place for summer vacation and leisure. Therefore, there is a very exquisite brick and stone villa in this farm that is used for living. It is beautiful, and the biggest feature is that there are so many rooms, it is more than enough to accommodate a dozen or twenty guests.
However, at this time, the relatives of Chris and Emily mainly lived in the villa, and John Chambers and others were arranged in several other residences.
Eric naturally also belongs to the level of relatives, so he also lives in Jeffrey's house.
After being completely settled, it was already evening.
The day after tomorrow is the wedding, and there are still many chores to prepare for tomorrow. Everyone just got together briefly in the evening, and then they all went to bed early.
Although I want to temporarily get rid of busy official duties, it is not easy after all.
Early the next morning, it happened to be a new week, Eric had just woken up, and before he had time to eat breakfast, Peter Rich delivered a document together with a few specially marked newspapers.
