After some tossing, both of them finally got their American driver's licenses, and with this thing, they no longer have to carry their passports with them all day.

With a U.S. driver's license, the first thing to do is to buy a car again.

In the United States, if you don't have a car, it's really not good, the bus system, in the urban area is in place, but in the suburbs, sorry, there is no service.

They live here, you buy an ice cream, and you have to go to a convenience store miles away.

If you want to buy a handful of shallots, it's a real hassle, and you have to go to San Francisco.

Huang Jingping has the meaning of opening a piece of land in the yard to grow vegetables, and the lawn in the front and back yards adds up, nearly one acre, and just get a piece of it can solve their daily needs.

However, the owners' association has long stipulated that this kind of behavior is not allowed! You get convenience, but this will lower the grade of this piece of property, and indirectly damage everyone's assets, if you like the idyllic life, then well, go to other communities.

So, who says that the United States has the most freedom of life? You can't make the decisions of your own private land.

Next, when Feng Yiping starts school in September, he needs a car to go back and forth, and Huang Jingping is naturally indispensable to enter and exit.

Thinking of the little monkey who plans to be born next year, it is naturally difficult to buy another sports car, and like other families, they set the second car as an SUV.

The impact of the bursting of the Internet bubble on Silicon Valley was simple, direct and crude, and the effect was immediate, a bit like the few places where the domestic coal price collapsed later, and then it was too bad to be good.

For example, these 4S stores in front of me are far from being as tall as their domestic counterparts, especially these shops that buy new cars, just like the luxury car stores in those counties at that time, they are really crowded and there are many people who sell them. There are very few people who buy it.

Driving a Bentley, Feng Yiping and the two of them turned around several times, and they were warmly received, although Mike recommended them to buy Japanese cars, which are cheap and durable. There are a lot of reasons for value preservation and low maintenance costs, but looking at the price of the car, they are really not interested in Japanese cars at all.

Everyone knows the reason, after understanding the price of domestic luxury cars, and then looking at this, I feel that I have made at least millions of dollars by buying one, so why not buy it?

There are three of them. However, the originator of luxury SUVs, Mercedes-Benz M-Class, has been launched for two or three years and has not yet been remodeled, and this is the last choice.

The BMW X5 was newly launched in '99 and looks pretty good, last. It is the third-generation Range Rover, which was received by Ford last year and just launched this year.

Feng Yiping and Huang Jingping unanimously chose Range Rover. For nothing else, although it has been acquired by Ford, this car still can't hide the British elegance in its bones.

The various second generations in China, which will not be known in the United States for their preference for luxury goods, so profiteers gave them a very real price. Then Feng Yiping repaid it several times, and in the end, the various expenses added up, less than 70,000 US dollars!

This price, converted into RMB, should not be more than a fraction of what it was when it was sold in China.

Although compared to a Japanese car that costs $10,000 or 20,000. This is still several times more expensive, but Feng Yiping still has a feeling of picking up a big bargain, hehe.

Soon after arriving home, I immediately received a call from Harry, "Feng, do you need a band for your weekend party?"

I'm just throwing a simple party, okay, why do you need a band?

Hearing that Feng Yiping didn't speak, Harry thought that Feng Yiping didn't have the budget, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, it's free,"

It's free, I don't want it, and I've experienced too many traps under the guise of being free.

"Well, Feng, I've formed a band with a few other friends, and I'd like to play at your party," Harry explained further.

Isn't it like the band is only playing with hot-blooded young people in school, such an old uncle, how can he not grow up?

"Very welcome, I'm honored that your band can perform at my party," Feng Yiping immediately agreed, middle-aged people's dreams also need support!

The point is that they are middle-aged and still playing music, this level should always be passable, at least, it shouldn't be too ugly!

Although Lisa had said that it was a very simple party, it was not at all what she said it was.

Feng Yiping and Huang Jingping, according to what she said, thought very simply, set up two simple tents in the front yard, provided some pastries and drinks by themselves, and made one or two hard dishes, plus Mike promised to come over to help barbecue seafood, and just mess with it.

Unexpectedly, Lisa, who came to help prepare and provide guidance, was very cautious and actually took out something like a planning book.

It's just an informal party between neighbors, is it necessary?

Most of the people who decided to attend were whites, Chinese, Koreans, and a few Indians and blacks, so I was a little particular about what to make and what to drink.

There are also everything from tablecloths to tableware, what color and style should be, including the decoration of tables and chairs, no matter how big or small, she listed them one by one.

Is it still very simple?

Feng Yiping felt that this should be Lisa, a housewife who rarely encountered something after her children went to school, finally found a place to use it, so she was also very serious about this little thing.

However, Feng Yiping and Huang Jingping are both very easy-going people, and they are not the slightest dissatisfied because Lisa actually has the power of the party.

When the tent was set up, Harry offered to help, and he was really a warm-hearted guy.

Before the party officially began, the four members of their band gathered, the farthest one, from Berkeley opposite.

These four uncle-level band members play heavy metal rock, but except for a bald tattooed man riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, the other three are all normal, and they can't be seen from the outside.

Set up the various musical instruments they brought, they immediately started to perform, to be honest, Comrade Feng Yiping didn't appreciate it too much, but, seeing the four of them so devoted, and enjoying it, he still had some feelings, these guys who have a family and children, and can still adhere to such a hobby, it is really not easy.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, after Lisa's repeated inspections, Feng Yiping's first party after coming to the United States officially began.

The first to arrive was not the people in the community, but several supervisors and employees in the company, who were very happy to be invited, and did not feel that this was a delay in their rest time, after all, it was also an opportunity to go to the boss's house to attend a party.

By the way, Barbara, who has a hot body, is also among them, and she has another task today, to put a small sign indicating the identity of the guests, so that people who don't know each other can greet each other.

One after another, a casually dressed couple with children arrived at the party site with home-made food in their hands, such as nachos, lasagna, macaroni, fried rice, tortellini, etc.

After saying hello to Feng Yiping, he brought a plate and decorated his favorite things, and chatted in twos and threes under the background music of heavy metal rock, all casually.

Feng Yiping, as a hospitable and purposeful host, walked around with a bottle of beer, chatting with every resident in the community, although the questions were different, but the general content was similar.

Neighbors are also happy to chat with him, and as the author of a best-selling business management book, he is quite well-known in the United States.

Huang Jingping is not easy, the men are all standing, or find a place to sit, around a few tables, all the housewives are sitting, and several of her tables are asking her questions, in the minds of most Americans who have not been to China, China is still a mysterious country, and they have too many topics to ask.

Mike's barbecue stall is the most popular, Americans seem to be good at this bite, and finally there is a gap, no one is waiting around, through the conversation, Feng Yiping, who has gained a lot, said to him happily, "Mike, I have a new idea,"

"Oh, what? Would you like a scallop?"

Feng Yiping took two, "I want to set up another website,"

"Website, what?" Mike was interested.

"There's only one outline yet, I'll contact Kim and Hong right away, and we'll discuss it together when they come,"

"So, it's not a small move?"

"Yes," Feng Yiping said, "this is also a blue ocean," (To be continued.) )
