108 Consumption

Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun plan to buy a house at the southern end of the Bay Area, because this is the heart of Silicon Valley, which is actually in Santa Clara County, a very nice place.

The two of them followed the real estate agent to look around, although they had a little contact and read some information. However, you still need to see it on the spot, so that you can have a more intuitive feeling.

This is a typical American-style villa, simple and atmospheric, and a collection of various architectural essences and one; Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun both like such simple and generous characteristics, and the building volume is relatively large, the two of them still prefer such villas.

"Brother Xian, what do you think?" Zhu Jiarun asked with a smile while holding Zhang Xian's arm.

"I think it's good. Zhang Xian did not hide it, and said very clearly, "This house is indeed very good, and the area is scary." 20,000 square feet, that's 1,900 square meters, right?"

Zhu Jiarun nodded, in the United States, it is naturally based on the imperial area unit of feet, 20,000 ordinary feet is very scary, but there is nothing to say, who made the price of this house exceed 11 million US dollars!

"I think it's good, we all like the style of the floor-to-ceiling windows, but luckily this house is more modern and has a lot of sunlight. And the indoor area is very good, our house area adds up to more than 500 square meters, and the rest is the lawn and swimming pool. Enough, I like this kind of lawn very much, later we can swim, barbecue. ”

Since Zhu Jiarun likes it, and Zhang Xian also thinks it's good, then this one house is good, it meets the requirements of two people, five bedrooms, the living room is very large and spacious, and there is also a swimming pool. If you want to play a course, you don't need to worry, just build it yourself.

The two of them are indeed satisfied with the house, but they need to negotiate the price, and the price of the house is 11 million dollars, but this must require a counter-offer.

In the United States, it is not said that the house is completely yours when you buy it, and it is true that private property is sacred in the United States, but every year the U.S. government levies a property tax equivalent to 1 to 2 percent of the value of real estate every year. And buying a house also requires paying taxes, insurance, etc., which are all things to consider.

These things are handed over to the real estate agent to handle, Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun just said their reserve price and requirements, they now have such a capital, to explain some things clearly, and let others be busy with the rest of the details.

It's certainly no problem to take this house, but it's necessary to renovate it, and although the current house is very good, it doesn't necessarily meet the needs of two people for a house.

The recreation room must be built, the study room can be made, and the gym can also be had, and what wine cellar and billiard room are not necessary for two people, and even the guest rooms are a bit too much, so it is better to get a luxury kitchen that is more in line with the needs of two people......

The house of more than 500 square meters is indeed very large, but there is no need to worry about getting lost in such a house, because the new house of two people will fully meet their needs, and now they have to start preparing to decorate, and a simple decoration can meet their needs!

Back at the hotel, Zhang Xian took advantage of Zhu Jiarun's bathing time to look at the information of the car.

"Brother Xian, didn't you say you want to buy Aston Martin?" Zhu Jiarun, who had finished taking a shower, naturally lay on Zhang Xian's shoulder, looking at Zhang Xian looking at the car a little strange, "If you still have a favorite car you can continue to buy, we have money and a lot of space in the garage." ”

Zhang Xian looked at Zhu Jiarun, but still couldn't hold back, "Runrun, do you really want to buy a mustang? It seems to be a muscle car, right?"

Zhu Jiarun nodded, she understood what Zhang Xian meant.

The so-called muscle car, generally speaking, refers to the American rear-drive car with strong horsepower and muscular appearance; Zhang Xian really did not expect that Zhu Jiarun likes such a car with wild beauty that is full of power and has a lot of fuel consumption, and as far as he knows, muscle cars are more difficult to drive because of their great power.

"I want to buy a Ford Mustang, and the logo is a running Mustang. Now it happens that the fifth-generation Ford Mustang is also on the market, and I will buy this car, with a V6 engine, a long bonnet, a short tail, and a three-vertical taillight, which is very classic!"

Seeing Zhu Jiarun so interested, Zhang Xian was really surprised, he originally thought that Zhu Jiarun should like sports cars, or be fashionable. But I didn't expect that she was so restless in her bones.

That's right, Zhu Jiarun is indeed like this, she really likes powerful cars, and her requirements for cars are not low.

However, Zhang Xian was a little excited, he knew that his driving level might not be able to handle muscle cars for the time being, but he also liked those cars full of wild beauty, and Zhu Jiarun's preferences really met Zhang Xian's appetite.

"Brother Xian, let's buy another Jeep Wrangler, you definitely like it!" Zhu Jiarun was very happy, but she knew Zhang Xian's preferences, "The sports car has an Aston Martin for the time being, let's buy the car we like." ”

Well, Zhang Xian is really excited, he does like the kind of cars that are more hard, although he has not driven those cars, but it does not mean that there is no favorite type.

Zhang Xian suddenly thought of something and felt a lot of pressure, "I don't know how to drive yet, and if I want to buy a car soon, I won't be able to drive for a long time." Runrun, Wrangler is your favorite car, right?"

"Haha!" Zhu Jiarun laughed embarrassedly twice, and then decisively diverted the topic, "When we return to China, we will buy a Wrangler, and we will go back to our hometown first." You learn your driver's license, take a break, and wait until the new house is renovated and the formalities are completed. ”

Zhang Xiancai is not so easy to deceive, he also saw through Zhu Jiarun's little tricks, he decisively pressed Zhu Jiarun's shoulder, and he must not let her run.

"I can only buy one car, right? You said that whatever Mercedes and Ferrari you bought are fake, I can only buy one Aston Martin now, and the rest of the cars are yours, right?"

Facing Zhang Xian's questioning, Zhu Jiarun calmly looked at Zhang Xian and nodded directly, such a strong attitude made Zhang Xian panic.

Of course I panicked, originally we should have become more imposing, okay, how does it seem now, this is not for us to catch the handle, how has this become that we look more passive!

Zhu Jiarun still had the strategy of giving a sweet jujube with a stick, and kissed Zhang Xian, Zhu Jiarun said as a matter of course, "Brother Xian, isn't the car of the two of us just whoever wants to drive it! You just can't drive for the time being, and you will be able to drive after a while." If you want to buy a sports car, wait until the end of the year when you make money to buy it, and even if you buy Koenigsegg, I won't say anything. ”

Zhang Xian looked at Zhu Jiarun, full of suspicion.

Zhu Jiarun continued to look very calm and made a decision, "Although we have money, we can't spend money blindly. I have no objection to you buying a car, and I have no objection to you forming a team. However, you have to be in moderation, and the reward you get for completing the business and the project is to buy a car, one at a time!"

Well, Zhang Xian has nothing to say, and he also thinks that what Zhu Jiarun said is reasonable, because he and Zhu Jiarun are indeed rich, but they also need to have a correct view of consumption.

Zhang Xian has no objection to the comfortable and comfortable life now, which is quite a rich life in the eyes of many people. But that doesn't mean it's a profligate and unbridled waste: it's okay to buy a $200,000 car, it's okay to buy a few more.

However, such a car purchase cannot be a blind purchase, at least it cannot be bought if you want to.

Zhu Jiarun leaned on Zhang Xian's arms, held Zhang Xian's hand and said, "Brother Xian, we are indeed not short of money, we can live in a good house and buy a good car." In the future, it is not impossible to buy a yacht or private jet. But we have to do what we can, we can't earn a hundred and spend ninety-nine dollars, we earn a hundred and spend ten dollars, it's about the same. ”

Zhang Xian looked down at Zhu Jiarun in his arms, and said suspiciously, "Isn't it?

For Zhang Xian's truthfulness, Zhu Jiarun was angry, "It's a metaphor, besides, we earn a lot of money, and the base is huge, so we naturally spend a lot." ”

Zhang Xian nodded and agreed, he felt that what Zhu Jiarun said was very reasonable, he really couldn't squander it indiscriminately, he needed some sense; even if Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun's current speed of spending money seems to some people to be a lot, and to some people it seems that their lives are very rich and luxurious, but this is still a little rational, at least it is a more correct view of consumption.

This time coming to the United States is enough for Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun, watching two wonderful games, and also determining the house to buy, of course, including the completion of an investment worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

I feel that I have gained a lot, but the two of them did not continue to stay in the United States, and many things still need a little time, and many procedures still need some procedures.

So it's better to go back to China and enjoy a comfortable life for a while, and there is no need to come to the United States immediately, because you will have to live in the United States for a long time to come.
