Ji Kai said a few words of relief, which made Oric very grateful to Dade.

Now, I also have a housekeeper, and it seems that I don't have to worry about the affairs of the manor anymore. Ji Kai is very happy about the choice he made, and now he is waiting for the manor to arrive.

The team convened by Ji Kai spent another two days inspecting and negotiating in the manor, and finally on this day, Ji Kai sat in the manor parlor and signed the purchase agreement with Jack Irvine's lawyer, and after Ji Kai signed a check, the total of 140,000 acres of land belonged to Ji Kai alone.

It's just that it costs $1.92 billion, a price that has been negotiated by auditors and lawyers. Among them, the value of the real estate in the estate alone is about 380 million US dollars.

"Mr. Ji, the manor has been purchased. Next, there are some documents and formalities that need to be completed, which will be left to us. However, it is important to note that you are now buying this estate as a foreigner, and it is estimated that the transaction taxes required will be high. ”

"Ah, no, how much does this cost?" Ji Kai didn't think about this.

"The transaction tax is about 0.05-2% of the transaction price, and this is California, which has the highest transaction tax in the United States, and it is estimated that it will cost you about 60 million US dollars. The lawyer replied.

Well, I bought everything, and there was no shortage of money. Ji Kai signed another check and asked them to go through all the formalities, and then asked the lawyer to take out the prepared employment contract, and after confirming the signature with Mr. Olek, Oric officially joined Ji Kai's staff.

After sending away the lawyers and auditors, only Ji Kai and others were left in this manor.

"Orik, go, come with me for a walk around the estate. Ji Kai said.

Ji Kai walked out of the villa with his feet raised, Olic standing beside him, Mariana and Mark following behind.

"Now there is a shortage of everything in the manor, such as farms and pastures, you have to hire workers as soon as possible, as for some necessities in the villa, you should know everything, I won't say more. When the time comes, you sort out the list of things you need to buy and give it to me, and my request is to use all the new ones. Ji Kai said to Oric as he walked.

"Yes, sir, I still have contact information for the former farm and ranch employees, and if they haven't found a job, I'll let them know as soon as possible. If there is a shortage, it will be recruited separately. The essentials in the villa, I'll make a list tonight, please go through the list. Orrick replied.

"Well, let's do it first, the manor is now in ruins, everything is missing, everything has to be done. I'm not in a hurry, though, and take my time. In addition, I have a bit of a requirement for the manpower in the villa. ”

Ji Kai thought for a while and said:

"First of all, the chef, this needs to be done as soon as possible, I don't want to make my own food. There must be at least two chefs, one should be a chef who can cook Chinese cuisine, especially Shu cuisine, preferably with a few more types of dishes, and the other is an American style, even better if it is a Michelin chef. ”

"Yes, sir, I can still take care of the kitchen at this stage, but in the future, there will be more people and at least two professional chefs. I will call later, and inform the headhunter to send the information of the suitable candidate as soon as possible. Also, now that the manor is yours, should the name of the manor be changed? Orrick suggested.

"Yes, yes, yes, the name of the manor has to be changed, and I forgot about it if you don't mention it. But what should I change it to?" Ji Kai really didn't have any talent for naming names, and he was very distressed.

Somehow, Ji Kai remembered what happened when he was a child, when he was a child, his father used bamboo weaving skills to support the family, but now his health is not good and he can't do it anymore.

"Let's call it Cuizhu Manor, remember to plant a bamboo forest outside the villa. In the future, if I set up a family, the family emblem will be the pattern of this bamboo forest. Well, by the way, what do you need to do to change the name of this manor?" Ji Kai finally thought of the name of the manor.

"Bamboo Manor? Okay, I'll contact a batch of bamboo suitable for the California climate, how about planting it in the vacant space in the left front of the villa? If the manor changes its name, you need to go to the city government of Irvine to handle it, but your lawyer just happened to go through the formalities, just inform him to handle it together." ”

When Ji Kai heard Oric say this, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called the lawyer to inform him of the change of name of the manor.

"Okay, let's do it for now, other things, we'll talk about it when we're done with what is in front of us. ”

Ji Kai and his entourage walked around the manor casually, but they didn't dare to go far, after all, the manor was too big, and if they walked on two feet, it was estimated that they wouldn't be able to finish it in a day. When Ji Kai saw the beautiful scenery of the manor, he also asked Mariana to take a lot of photos, ready to upload them to the space at night to have a good time.

After eating the American dinner cooked by Mariana, although Ji Kai also had a great appetite, he was still used to the Chinese diet and missed the taste of Chinese food even more.

After reading the list sent by Olic and the personnel information required by the manor, Ji Kai took out a supplementary card handled in Fuguo, which contained 20 million US dollars, and as long as it was less than 1 million US dollars, there would be a text message to inform whether to deposit 20 million US dollars in it again. He gave the card to Oric as the starting capital for the estate, and said:

"There is $20 million in this as the start-up capital of the estate, and if there is no money in it in the future, I will deposit it again. First of all, I will build the framework of the manor, and I will write a check for more expensive items, such as buying cattle and sheep. These lists and materials can be done by yourself, and since I have chosen you as my steward, then I will believe that you can do everything well. ”

"Yes, sir. However, you still need a financial officer, not because of anything else, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is in your interest to supervise each other according to the regulations. Moreover, in the future, the salary and capital transactions of the manor personnel, including the payment of taxes, etc., need to be carried out by a professional accountant, which can save worry and effort. Orrick said solemnly.

"Okay, I've already found the accountant for me through the Wells Quoc side. It is estimated that it will be in place soon, and if you want a lawyer, you can contact the headhunter and find it together! I know that in the United States, these two kinds of people are needed. ”

Oric saw that Ji Kai had no other instructions and left. Ji Kai saw that he had nothing to do, so he turned out the photos of the day and imported them all into his notebook, fortunately he brought a laptop bought in China when he came, otherwise he would have to buy the English version, which was too troublesome.

I filtered through hundreds of photos and uploaded them in WeChat chat and space. It also says:

"This is the manor I just bought, and the view is nice! ”
