Chapter 369: Don't Think Too Beautiful
The time soon came to the end of March, Qiao Feng and his party set off for the United States, and Lin Qingxia and Qiao Feng's mother Lin Wanqing were also in the team.
There is no way, Qiao Feng will definitely not hide it from his mother when he has a child, when he told Lin Wanqing, just like Lin Qingxia was worried about, Lin Wanqing was very happy when she heard that Lin Qingxia was pregnant, but it seemed that she was not very willing to get married, so the meaning of the words almost pointed to Qiao Feng's head and asked why it was not Zhong Chuhong, Guan Zhilin, or Ye Qianwen who were pregnant.
Fortunately, Qiao Feng was very prescient, he didn't take Lin Qingxia to have a showdown with his mother, but first asked his mother to talk to him, and then when Qiao Feng said that Lin Qingxia would not marry him, Lin Wanqing's expression and tone changed all at once, and if she was happy, she must let Lin Qingxia live at home and take care of her personally.
Mom wants to take care of Qiao Feng, naturally there is nothing to disagree with, but in Hong Kong, it is not okay, if they get married, they don't dare to say anything about the newspaper report or something, otherwise those tabloid Qiao Feng have a way to deal with them, and the lawsuit can bankrupt them all.
But if you are not married, it will be troublesome if you are photographed unmarried and pregnant, then the big and small newspapers in Hong Kong are definitely like cats that smell fishy, and they are all kinds of speculation and arrangement, it is not easy to fight a lawsuit, and it is not justifiable, and the huge pressure of gossip is not something that Lin Qingxia, who is fragile in her heart, can bear.
So, just let Lin Qingxia go to the United States where her sister is, her parents are there, it should be said that her whole family is in the United States, and her brother's family is also in the United States, having a family to accompany her will be very good for her emotions or something.
And it is more convenient and intimate to take care of her own family, as for her mother Lin Wanqing, she can rest assured that she will take care of it, so there is no problem, anyway, near Lin Qingxia's sister's house, Lin Qingxia bought a house for her parents, and the money was paid by Qiao Feng, so let my mother live there, it is good to be close to her family.
Qiao Feng is very happy for his mother to go to the United States. His mother is only in her early forties, and she is also good-looking, like her early thirties, very young, as a result, she guards the tea restaurant every day, and then goes to the neighbor's house to play mahjong at night, and she can't move like that every day.
What kind of temperament is this, what kind of hobby is this?
Qiao Feng is the youngest of the richest few people in Hong Kong, and he is also the fastest to make a fortune, but his wife has no consciousness of becoming a rich lady at all, and she has no intention of developing towards Kuotai.
How was it before and how is it now, guarding the tea restaurant left at home, boring during the day, playing mahjong at night, for a period of time the neighbors around her and her feel awkward and panicked, but I found that she has not changed anything, or like that, still playing mahjong for a few dollars, still unhappy after losing money, this neighbors are normal.
Of course, it is also because Qiao Feng has not changed much from his wife, he is so rich, and he has purchased so many properties, and the newspapers are reporting how many villas he bought in the middle of the mountain, Repulse Bay, Deep Water Bay, Watershed Road and other luxury areas in the past few years, and then which female star has been hidden in the golden house, but Qiao Feng lived in their small building on Broadcasting Road for the longest time.
Of course, there are differences, there are many more, the most special thing is that Qiao Feng's tea restaurant is protected by bodyguards outside the restaurant every day, and then there are other bodyguards following Lin Wanqing, especially when playing mahjong every day, there are a bunch of bodyguards guarding the door and downstairs.
Those who play mahjong must have something awkward in their hearts, but they are also very reassuring, at least they don't have to worry about having a damn strip to check for gambling.
With a group of bodyguards in the tea restaurant every day, Mayou's family and his own family's three-point and one-line rich wife, it seems that Lin Wanqing should be regarded as the only one.
This time, because of the child's affairs, the old lady was willing to put down the tea restaurant and leave the card friend and his home to the United States, Qiao Feng was ecstatic and raised his hands in agreement, Qiao Feng was ready to buy another house nearby over there if his mother was unwilling to live in the Lin family.
Although, Qiao Feng is very reluctant to buy a house in the United States, they all say that the house in the United States is a permanent property right, especially those who have never been abroad, or who think that those who are abroad are good, as soon as they talk about how good the United States is, the house is their own, and the private territory cannot be entered without consent, and then it is said that the sky is good, as if buying a house in the United States can be passed down from generation to generation to live there, and the house is rotten.
But in fact, these people do not say that the property right to buy a house in the United States is indeed permanent, but they need to pay property taxes every year.
The house is not free to live in, you do buy it, it does belong to you forever, but there is a premise that you can afford to pay the annual property tax, otherwise the house may not belong to you.
The house in the United States is not only a freehold property, but also the sky above the house and the land within 800 meters below the house also belong to the homeowner; only after a certain height, the sky is the state, if oil or other minerals are found within 800 meters underground, these resources are owned by the homeowner.
However, the annual property tax is a necessary large expense, and the property tax in the United States varies according to the laws of different states, but it is generally around 1%~3.3%.
If you buy a house for $1 million and the property tax rate is 3%, then you have to pay $30,000 in property taxes for the house every year: 100/3 = 33.3 years, which means you have to buy your house again every 33.3 years. If you can't pay it when you can't pay it, I'm sorry that this house is not yours, the property tax you paid before was not refunded, you bought a house for 1 million, and paid 10,000 property taxes every year, OK, you paid this year, accidentally went bankrupt for some reason, roar, kiss your 1 million + The property tax paid every year is gone.
Property taxes are levied based on the actual value of the house you own, and if your house appreciates in value during these 33.3 years, such as from $1 million to $3 million, then congratulations, you will have to pay $90,000 in property taxes per year for this house. If you are a nail household, you can indeed not move, but the valuation of your house will greatly increase with the construction of the surrounding area, and the property tax you have to pay will also explode - under the property tax model, it is difficult for a nail household to be!
Therefore, people who understand will know why the real estate tycoon in China can be the richest man, and everyone who is good can be worth tens of billions or hundreds of billions in a short period of time, while in foreign countries, especially in countries like the United States, the real estate boss has no place to go no matter how rich he is.
Just like the president of the United States who engaged in real estate, his net worth in the eighties was already more than one billion dollars, but after 30 years, his net worth only quadrupled, although he himself said that his net worth exceeded 10 billion US dollars, but the authoritative financial magazine Forbes said that he only had 4.5 billion US dollars, which is indeed a huge amount of money, and it is indeed a huge rich, but compared with the self-made Chinese real estate tycoons, it is too far behind.
Because, the real estate business is not easy to do.
This is also the reason why it is not easy for those in the United States to have a real estate speculation group, and they can't get out of the house sister and the like, Tun House?
Hehehe, paying taxes won't kill you.
So, don't envy the freehold property rights in the United States, that thing is bought every year, unlike in China, the big red book has a seventy-year property right, and it will be yours within 70 years after the payment, and you will no longer be asked for money because of the house.
Freehold property rights are only owned by the rich, and they have to be rich people who guarantee not to go bankrupt.
Based on this reason, Qiao Feng is very resistant to buying real estate in the United States, he is rich, but he will not be stupid enough to buy a house in the United States, pay a lot of money every year, and then live in the United States for a few days a year, and his brain is drained.
I'm sorry, I wrote and I sandwiched some private goods that didn't vomit or feel unhappy.
