Chapter 108: Renting a Room
The second batch of stockings was successfully loaded and shipped, with a total of more than 30,000 spring quilts, and was also ready to be shipped to the port city.
At present, most of the cross-border trade is transferred from the port city, which directly pushes up the throughput of the various terminals in the port city, creating jobs and driving economic development.
Shipping from the mainland is not only difficult to guarantee in time, but also slightly cumbersome in terms of procedures, so Chen Linzhi would rather pay more for the transportation to the port city for loading.
I took the time to contact several suppliers, and the garment factory of the director of Ma is preparing for production, and it is said that the masters have already begun to make samples and distribute the process, and it is expected that the production of short sleeves and pants will be officially started in a day or two.
Almost completed this order worth more than 2 million US dollars, Chen Linzhi also contacted Gao Boxue again according to the orders obtained by the salesmen, and planned to solve these small orders by the way, and load them on the ship and pull them over with a large number of goods.
The best way is undoubtedly to assign specific work and ask someone to be responsible for handling it, so as not to have to do everything by Chen Linzhi himself, which is a waste of energy.
The days passed.
Three days later, in the morning, Chen Linzhi personally went to the airport on the outskirts of the city to meet with Mr. Roger Sampras again in early April 1985.
Roger Sampras is still the same, dressed in a gray suit, red shirt, blonde hair combed to the ground, and carrying a small handbag.
He took advantage of the weekend to come for an interview, and he didn't have a single interview, so naturally he wouldn't be like moving with a big bag.
Seeing Chen Linzhi, Roger smiled and said enthusiastically: "Long time no see!Chen, you weren't there when I went to Bentonville last time, I heard Dempsey mention you, and he told me that he signed two big orders with you in a row, and he is very optimistic about you, congratulations!"
Carefully speaking, it was because of Roger that Chen Linzhi knew the cunning and black-hearted Mr. Dempsey.
Two orders, a total of more than 100,000 US dollars to Dempsey rebates, compared to liking himself, Chen Linzhi believes that the small management of Wal-Mart's purchasing department will praise himself mainly out of profit.
Without mentioning even a word to Roger, Chen Linzhi said: "Mr. Dempsey is a warm person, I have to thank you for introducing me to him, and the business is going well." My car is parked outside, specially for you to book a room at the Hilton Hotel, get in the car, stay a few more days, I will be responsible for entertaining you, as a tour. ”
"Wow, thank you, I've recently gotten married and divorced, and your business is getting bigger and bigger, and I'm sincerely happy for you. ”
"Divorce?"
"Yes, the mistake I made in Las Vegas, she never told me that I already had two children, and I probably exaggerated my financial situation, so we quickly parted amicably. Roger's face was full of indifference.
Just listening to these short words, Chen Linzhi can imagine an interesting drama, which is nothing more than a scumbag meeting a scumbag, flash marriages and divorces are quite common in the United States, half of the couples will experience at least one divorce, nothing to care about.
So Chen Linzhi didn't soothe Roger, but said: "I should congratulate you on this, at least you don't need to pay alimony, and you save the cost of entertaining guests, I hope your wealth is not divided in half." ”
Go to Las Vegas to get married, find a pastor to take an oath on the spot, and you can get a marriage certificate on the spot, which is extremely efficient, and both men and women can come forward.
In addition, alimony, a check every month until the children reach adulthood, is undoubtedly a nightmare for many divorced men.
Roger didn't care at all, and said happily: "Maybe she is richer than me, and she didn't mention the division of property at all, she only sent me the divorce agreement for me to sign as soon as possible, and now I'm single again." ”
As soon as the words fell, Roger took out a tissue with a number written on it from his pocket, and told with a wicked smile: "The number of the British Airways flight attendants, the accent is quite charming, they will rest in San Francisco tonight and leave tomorrow morning, it is simply the best target for a one-night stand, you provide a meeting place?"
"Of course, no problem, just leave it to me. ”
Chen Linzhi is also laughing, the friendship between men is often so simple, you take the girl and I pay, everyone is happy.
......
Chen Linzhi first took Roger Sampras, who had not yet left the Nestle Group, to rest in the hotel.
During this period, Big Brother called the real estate agent and asked about the rental information of Pacific Heights, and learned that there was a Victorian-style single-family villa for rent, and the owner planned to move to Chicago to work, and would not come back in the short term, everything was ready-made, with a monthly rent of $3,200 and a deposit of at least $15,000.
Located in the bird-watching area, the location is quite good, the terrain is elevated, and you can overlook the bay and the red Golden Gate Bridge.
Even though Chen Linzhi was mentally prepared to know that this place was one of the most expensive areas in downtown San Francisco, he still couldn't help but gasp.
You must know that the average monthly income of local small white-collar workers is only about 800 or 900 US dollars, and Yin Yu's mother is responsible for cleaning, laundry and cooking at the home of a wealthy man in the Pacific Highlands, and the rent of that house for a quarter is equivalent to the annual pre-tax income of a small white-collar worker, and he is really rich.
Considering the high cost of holding a luxury house, you need to pay a considerable amount of property tax every year, which is equivalent to being borne by the tenant, although the rent is high, but it is still within a reasonable range, Chen Linzhi decided to go to see the house in person, to come to the address, and meet in about an hour.
Rent is expensive, and there is a reason why it is expensive.
Chen Linzhi drove alone to Pacific Heights, where the surrounding infrastructure was several notches higher than Chinatown's.
The house being rented is a detached house with a conical spire, built in 1901 and has a white appearance.
At that time, the price of land was low, and the yard of more than 300 square meters was circled, which was well maintained, with a small dog kennel in the corner, and the owner took the dog away when he left.
In order to facilitate renting, the interior of the house was thoroughly cleaned by someone, and the appraisal agency issued a report to confirm that there was no mildew contamination and termite insect-eaten.
Furniture and electrical appliances have been used, but because the owner of the house is relatively rich, he often eliminates and updates old household appliances, which are actually still very new, and there is no less money spent during the arrangement.
The house built in 1901 and renovated once in 1976, with British classical decoration style, the walls of the living room, private library, and living room are covered with solid wood planks, which is elegant and exquisite, which is very in line with Chen Linzhi's aesthetics.
With a total of six rooms and five bathrooms, according to the real estate agent, it is one of the best value rental properties in the surrounding area, provided that it is rented for at least one year and that the rent and deposit need to be paid in a lump sum.
Chen Linzhi has never lived in a good house, and her requirements are relatively low, and she is quite satisfied with this set, so she will be too demanding.
After reading this set on the spot, after asking the price, he learned that it would cost at least 350,000 US dollars, Chen Linzhi decisively gave up the idea of taking out a loan to buy a set, and he didn't have the financial resources for the time being.
Asked the real estate agent to draw up the contract, he finalized the lease on the spot, and was ready to rent the house in the name of San Francisco Union Trading Company.
When I bring my clothes over, I can move at any time, and I'm in a good mood.
It just so happened that Roger had made an appointment with a few flight attendants on a date tonight, and Chen Linzhi did not forget about it, urging the real estate agent to contact the landlord as soon as possible, and it was best to move in today......
